Loxdox, September 18.???A popular demon
titration occurred at Spczzia, in Italy, yesterday
in favor of abolishing the militnay and sani-
tary cordon about the town. At Pcsciano, i
village of Calabria, the populace were greatly
excited. The notion won abroad among them
that the cholera rcrncdica that were being dia
pehsed to the sick were jioisons. In some in
aiicrs when the dispenser of remedies ap
proached their houses, shots were fired at them
from the windows. A small body of carbineers,
in attempting to preserve order, were received
with a volley of stones and shots, and wero
obliged to use their firearms in self defense.
At Naples from midnight to 10 o???clock Wed'
Lcsday morning, there were 132 fresh eases
cholera reported and 16 deaths.

Akmbton, Ala., September 18.???[Special.] ???
This city has been in an intense excitement
since Tuesday morning over the disappearance
of a young mau holding uu important and re
sponsible position???that of freight agent of tho
Anniston and Atlantic railroad. The missing
man is Mr. Dcu K. Ayers, who has been in tho
employ of the road lor a year past. Ho has

THE SEWER SYSTEM.
A*ft!s(nnt City Engineer McDaniel Gives Ills
Idea* on tlie Subject.
Mr. n. T. McDaniel, assistant city engineer,
has some very positive views on tho sewerage
question. A Constcjtution man had a long
talk with him on the subject yesterday. Mr.
McDoniel serv -d the city four years and
half os city engineer previous to his present
term os assistant. Tho reporter asked
???Bo you think the sewers that have been
ccuitiucted satisfactory, from a sanitary
standpoint?"
???J think they ore very effective from
itary point of view, but not from n hydraul
one. They are not, in several instances,
capable of carrying off the heavy rainfall."
???How could this matter be remedied; by
ripping up and rebuilding larger ones?"
???By no means would I rip up the sewers,
but would put in intercepting sewers to rentr
dy such delect* in existing sowers, until such
point or point* could bo reached where
complete system could begin do novo,
and tbc-nee proceed with a system which must
ncccrsarily nc a compound one. Let nothing
be lost which has been done, but utilize every
dollar heretofore expended.."
???What is the preseut sanitary condition
the main drainage outlets of the city????
*???7here has l??ccn constructed several sewers
parallel with main natural outlet* which are
not contemplated to carry all the storm water,
but sufficient for all acwcago which might be
turned into it. Now the old
branch run* ore contaminated from
various sources other than water closets, etc.,
ami running sluggishly on their natural beds
with an occasional eddy, catches dead rats,
cats,dog*, chickens, etc., breathing forth
foul and pestilent congregation of vapors, which
cannot be otherwise than dangerous to the
health of the city."
???What is the remedy for this?"
???Jf these causes could be removed Inside of
twelve hours after they arc created, there
would he no danger, but such cannot be tho
case in the present state of affair*. You fre
quently hear people soy ???wo ought to have
sewern largo enough to drivo carts through,
and we ought to build that way if
only one block was built in a year." Now
assuming that we wero threatened with
cholera, which i* ravaging a portion of Eu
rope to-day. you can see how absurd tho
argument. It would bo like carrying out a
comprehensive system of waterworks; to put
out o (ire while the fire is raging instead of
resetting to something immediately at hand.
We cannot adopt n plodding system which
would lake ten year* to execute while un
told thousands perish. Understand I do uot
consider that wo are in imminent
peril, hut we should consider carefully what
we do, aiokitig time an important considera
tion. To quoto from 8t. Luke: ???For which of
you intending to build a tower, sitteth not
down first and rounteth the cost, whether he
have sufficient to finish it. Lest, haply, after
he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to
fiuish it, nil that behold it begin to tnock him,
saying: This man began to build and wi
able to finish." Now, I propose
that wo commence on a basis of
practicability. Iu tho bed of theso branches
construct tho tiottom or invert of
the largo sewer* which are projected, so as to
he able speedily to drain oil these main
branches which, as they will be only seg
ments of an arch, fan bo constructed in one
year beyond tho limits. They would cost
about $35,000 for fivo miles, and the sanitary
effect would be made in one or two yonrs.
Brick is the best material to construct with,
nndthouppor portion could bo built leisurely
You sro during tho hot and dry season those
inverts would rapidly transport all
decaying matter and would
never ho full except in heavy rains, when
everything would bo washed cloau anyhow.
Encli main invort could bo (lushed daily with
the waterworks supply, ono at a time, during
tho dry season, which would carry nil solid
and liquid filth to the termini in nn hour.
???Another thing, all sections of the city, near
water mains and sowers, should ho compelled
to conucct with them and gradually drive the
night toil carts to tho outskirts.
They are indisponsible in subur
ban localities. however, and will always
have enough to do; and con
sequently will never he (Othollo like)
without an occupation. This in bnof is my
opinion on tho subject, without boing on
ifarniist."

Who Will Soon Hava to Move From the City
Ilnll???Condition of the Schools.
In a few weeks tho demolition of tho ven
erable old city hall will bo begun to lunko
room for Georgia's now rnpitol. The city
fathers and municipal officers arc not tho
only persons who will bo disturbed by
tho destruction of tho old building. For
a year past it has been tho homo of tho Boy???s
high school. Tho bcaOtiful park and luwn
around the building liavo made it n most ac
ceptable schoolhoiise for tho boys and they
will leave it regretfully, Superintendent Slaton
has been looking about for a week past to find
some place for the school. U is very difficult
to obtain a hall or but ding centrally located
which will nuswer. Tho most eligible place
ot found is the hall iu tho old Angler build-
g at tho corner of Broad and Alabamn streets.
Ts probable that this will havoto servo boys*
school until tho building
tho city means to erect for
eomploto. That event seems
rather distaut yet, ns nono of tho contracts
have been awarded, and the money needed is
not clearly in sight. The school is so vigo
rous that it can stand n little hustling about.
Iu fact, all the schools arc reported by the
suj>crii)tendcut to be in tho most
flourishing condition they have ever
known. There aro over 5,000 children iu
daily attendance, m arly 1,000 being register
ed in the Walker street school alone. Tho
rush and confusion always experienced at the
ning of the session havo passed away, and
bchcols have settled down to business in
fine style.
AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Roundabout Way to Harare a Prospective
Verdict for Damage**
An unusual sort of a suit has boon filed in
the United States court by Harrison Shell
against the Western railroad of Alabama and
the Columbus and Western, and the marshal
has attached ears enough to cover au alleged
indebtedness of $4,999. It is a garnishment
suit and attachment against tho Western rail
road and the Columbus and Western, both of
which are ???foreign corporations,??? residing
eutside of this district. Shell makes an affi
davit that theso two railroad* are indebted to
him in tho sum uatned, and gives a bond in
the sum of $10,000 that he will pay the rail
roads in the event he fails hunake out his ease.
When that was doue tho clerk of the court
issued au order commanding the marshal to
seise enough property ot the railroads to make
the sum of $4,000. The marshal has made
the levy and has garnisheed the treasurer of
the Atlanta Mid West Point railroad. The
railroads will probably give replevin bond to
day and be freed from these several obstruc
tions to their business. It is a verv uuusual
sort of a suit.
THE THREE K5IPEROR9.
Hkjkrnavic, September 17.???The local po
lice were adviced from Vienna that dynamite
would be found secreted in tho coal carried
by the locomotives. The police at one* made
n rare fill examination of tne coal supplies, on
the locomotives reaching this point, out dis
covered nothing ot a suspicious nature. As
further precautions, the officers ot the rAilw-iy
trains were required to take the oath ol alle
giance to the czar before entering on
their duties. All the railway viaducts over
which any of the imperial passengers were to
pass were carefully examined. The soil wa*
cleared away to the depth of three feet around
the supports to make sure that no dynamite
hod been lodged there. The premiers ol the
three emperors held a conference yesterday,
which lasted three hours. Subsequently to that
the Emperor William gave the audience to
fount Kalnoky. The Emperor William left
Bkicrnavic last night. The Austrian emperor
departs to-day.

THE HANKERS AND MERCHANTS.
A Telegraph Company to l>o Put Into the
Hands of a Receiver.
Nkw Yonx, September 18.???Counsel to-dny
appeared beforo Judge Donohue in tho su
preme court, and asked for the appointment of
?? temporary receiver for tho Bankers and
Merchants telegraph company. Other coun
sel appeared on behalf of the sovcral creditors
of (lie company, but did not oppose tho appli
cation. This proceeding has been oxpected
for several days,owing to tho difficulties yrhich
liavo arisen between tho company and tho
Baltimore und Ohio tolcgrnpli company. Tho
pnpers wero submitted and tho court reserved
its decision. Tho attorney general of thostntc
was notified of tho action, but
did not offer any argument
on tho motion. Tho suit in which the receiv
er is applied for is that brought by Austin G.
Day. against the company. Judgment was
rendered in favor of Day against the compa-
ny, for $24,018, in an notion begun in the su
premo court September 12th. An execution
was issued to the sheriff, and was returned
unsatisfied on tho 10th September. The judg
ment remains unpaid at tho present timo.
The plaintiff asks judgment that tho property
of tho Bankers and Merchants telegraph com
pany may be sequestrated, and a receiver ap
pointed, who shall convert the property into
money and pay tho creditors. An injunction
is alio ankeu for to restrain tho company,u nr
its agents, from collecting any moneys intu its
effects during tho landing of the action. Tho
morning papers also affirm that tho company
is insolvent, anil that numerous judguiouts
havo been issued against its property. Peti
tions wero also presented to tne court urging
the appointment of Garrett 8. Matt for receiver
of the company.

TRADE IN THE SOUTH*
Flaming Torches at Midnight.
From the Athens, Go., Bauner.
We learn that the bouse of Mr. Barnett, of
Beoverdam district, in Oglethorpe county, is
the scene of a nightly disturbance, rivaling
tbe old times when ku-klux rode on errands
of vengeance. At the hour of midnight for
several nights past, his home ha* been visited
Ly n number of masked men with flaming
torches, who silently march the circle of his
residence, and then na silently depart, leav
ing the residents of this peaceful neighbor
hood filled with the fear or this mysterious
danger which seems to threaten them.
A witness of ono of their visits says that tho
scene is one never to be forgotten. Tho hour
of midnight, a body of unknown men masked
and armed, with (laming torches held high in
the air, marching silently but with military
precision, and seemingly as relentless a* fate,
around the quiet, darkened dwelling, would
unnerve the strongest heart. Mr. Barnett is
a good citizen, and very popular in his noigh
her hood. This fact makes it the more dilfi
cult to locate the cause of this disturbance.
Whether the disguised men are white men or
negroes has not been ascertained. Faithful
officers, however, have tho matter in hand,
and we hope and believe that they will be
rewarded with a solution of the mystery.

Willie Johnson by his next friend has

for ten thousand dollars damages. The suit is
brought in the federal court. It i< alleged
that cm the fourth of June the youug man,
who is fourteen years old, wus upon ??? train
riding from West Point to Atlanta. Tho bill
does not so state but it is takcu for granted he
was riding without haviug paid. Ho was
cn the front platform of a car next to the en

the cugineer and fireman, er some other em
ployes of the road, threw water and coal at

less than was expected a month ago, owing to
the drouth, but this is lorgely counterbalanced
*>y the larger crops of corn, wheat and fruits
lion for some years. Owing to tho enlarged
roportion of food stuff, planter# will not have
?? purchase so largely of wheat, corn and pro-
isions from the west as heretofore. The dif
ference in this, as compared with lost year, is
fully $50,000,000. The late stringency iu the
money market, according to many of these
>i prevented the planters from borrowing
ly as usual iu the spring ami forced
them to close economy, so tb&t the cotton crop
hns been raised ot much lower cost than in
other years, and planters are less iu debt than
