LOATHSOME BILBO,
telling Wii Ils Poison fans
- z ’ and M Smelling,
FLO WS SLUGGISHLY THROUGH THE
UNPROTECTED CITY.
How Its Poisons Are Distributed to
the Detriment of the Public Health
Decaying Weeds Mingling With the
Festering Sewage Add to the Foul
ness of the Stench - Milch Cows
Browse on its Banks and Drink the
Polluted Water’s.
Bilbo canal is a menace to the city’s health
in more ways than one.
This is the conclusion that a Daily Dispatch
man reached this morning, after making an
inspection of the canal from the bridge at the
Thunderbo't road to the flood gates at the
Savannah river. There is everything along
the banks and in the small, stagnated chan
nel of water to disgust the eye and nauseate
the stomach, the odor that arises from the
base ot the canal being fearful, and one wants
a clothes pin on the nose to make a tour of
inspection.
All along the banks on both sides the weeds
are as high as any ordinary man, in many
places. These weeds in some places are
trampled down, and the decayed vegetation
sends forth an odor as foul as that from the
human excrement with which it commingles.
MUD AND SCUM.
The worst part of the canal is that por
tion east of the Thunderbolt road bridge to
the planked road that runs from the gas
house to the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway rosin wharf. For hours at ati ne
the filthy, rotten sewage, which often floats
around in the canal and becomes clogged in
the weeds that overshadow the banks on
either side, and when the depth of the water
decreases is left high and dry in the weeds
to rot and fester in the sun. Very often it
happens that the water is too shallow and
does not have enough force to wash the
tilth and trash off.
This stuff settles on the bottom of the
canal and eventually forms a regular sand bar,
as it were, which turns into pluff mud From
this seething hotbed of germ life there arises
a green and sickly scum, and no matter what
the volume of the water may be that comes
after, it has not enough force to carry it off.
When a rain swells the canal this scum is
soread all over the surface, and the pluff mud
is loosened and a psttion of it canied awav.
SETTLES ON THE BOTTOM
Most of this stuff settles on the bottom of
the canal or lodges on the edges of the banks,
and when the water is low sends forth a sick
ening odor. Then cows and other animals
that are allowed to run at large wade through
the canal and cross from one side to the other
and stir up the filth and scum, distributing it
where they pasture. They drink the polluted
water that poisons the milk and in both ways
contribute to scattering the seeds of disease.
The flood gates at the river do not seem to be
of any benefit, as far as flushing the canal is
concerned. There must be some leaks in
them, as the canal is always lull when the
river is high and almost empty when it is low.
It should be just the reverse, as there is no
way by which the water in the canal can
empty in the river when there is not a differ
ence in the height of tire wate.; or in other
words, when there is not a fall in the river by
which the water from the canal can find an
outlet.
Something should be done to change the
condition of affairs that exist at present Lime
and carbolic acid are occasionally sprinkled
along the banks cf the canal, but is productive
of no good other than to kill the stench tem
porarily. The city council should look into
this matter at once.

The Best h Wlnit Wins.
The public has become educated of late re
garding books and pictures, and cheap works
cannot longer be palmed off as good ones
The time has passed when newspaper readers
can be imposed upon with almost any sort ot
picture or any sort of book used as an in
centive to subscriptions, and the competition
is now as to quality and real value offered.
The best is what wins.
In Picturesque World’s Fair, which The
Daily Dispatch is offering to its readers, the
best has been secured. It is the most remark - '
able production of the year, a great educator,
and a beautiful thing to po- ess. How it
may be obtained is told in other columns, it
is a great opportunity which The Daily Dis
patch is offering, and one which will be more
and more appreciated as the grand work be
comes more and more widely known.
HAVE YOU SEEN IT?
Frank Leslie's Scenes and Portraits of (lie Civil
War.
The only official illustrated history of the
late war ever published.
The greatest book of modern times, which
illustrates the principal events of American
history, with an introduction by Maj Gen.
joseph B. Carr.
Hundreds of stirring battle scenes, grand
naval engagement, blockade running oper
ations of cruisers and privateers graphically
pictured.
Nothing recalls the past so forcibly as
pictures of the scenes taken at the time and on
the spot.
A picture is impartial; it cannot represent
the success of the victors, without represent
ing the heroism of their opponents; it does
justice to both sides.
Like Memorial day, which the north and
south both keep holy, it strengthens the
bonds of sympathy between all true American
citizens.
Don’t fail to examine this publication before
purchasing any other war history.

SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1894.
CLARKE SAVED THE SAME
BY A BEAUTIFUL THROW IN THE
NINTH INNING TO HOME BASE.
The Score Was 5 to 6 in Savannah's
Favor and Works, Nashville’s Right
Fielder, Was Trying to Score On
Sweeney's Hit-Some of Hill's Great
Work in the Box
Savannah won the second game of the
series from Stallings’ Nashville aggregation
yesterday afternoon at Collins’parley a score
of 6to 5. Hill and Borchers were®te oppos
ing pitchers. Nashville got ten ImT with a’
total of live bases off Hill’s deliveiy, five hits’
with a total of seven bases being made in the
ninth inning, which came near winning the
game for Nashville. Hill, however, was ef
fective in the most critical points in the game,
Savannah batted out nine hits with a total of
eleven bases off Borchers, four of Kvhich were
made in the third inning after two men had
been put out.
STARTED WITH A HOME |l'N.
Nashville made one run in the first inning.
O’Brien was up and hit the first |>all pitched
over the right field fence for a hsne run, for
which he was roundly applauded. Stallings
went out from third to first, Sweeney hil a
foul to left field, of which Clarke made a
beautiful running catch. Works hit to right
field for two bases, but was left at second, as
Whitehead fouled out to Wolf. Savannah,
was blanked in her half. Clarke struck out,
McCann flew out to center, I.arocque was hit
by pitcher, and Wolf fouled out to Sweet,
retiring the side.
WON IN THE THIRD INNING.
Savannah scored one run in the third inn
ing. McCloskey hit to right for one base,
but was thrown out from short to second on
Jantzen’s hit, the batter getting his base on
fielder’s choice, alter which he stole second
and third. Butler got his base on balls.
Peeples hit to first, Jantzen scored, the batter
going to first on fielder’s choice, Butler being
thrown out from Dooley to Sweeney Hill
was hit, Clarke got his base on balls, McCann
hit to Borchers, who threw Peeples out at
home. Nashville was blanked in her half.
Savannah scored four runs in the third
inning after two men were oil. which vir
tually won the game. Larocque struck out.
Wolf hit to center, but was thrown out at
second by Dooley, to whom McCloskey hit,
getting his base on the fielder’s choice.
Jantzen hit lo left, advanced McCloskey a
base. Butler got to first an an error of
Dooley, filling lhe bases. Peeples was given
Ytrfc liase oir which islary
in. Hill hit to left for two bases and Jant
zeri and Butler scored. Hill scored on
Clarke’s long drive to center and McCann
was thrown out from second to first.
STALLINGS, BORCHERS AND SWEENEY KICK.
Stallings kicked himself out of his traces in
this inning, for what nobody seemed able to
tell except himself Borchers, who was very
wild at critical points in the game, threw
four balls in rapid succession, none ol which
went over the plate, and when McCloskey
was forced home he locked vigorously, and
later on was joined by Stallings and Sweeney.
Nashville did not score again until the ninth
inning.
In the third inning Hill struck
out Stallings, Works and Sweeney, which
caused the Nashville players, and particularly
Sweeney, to kick and growl at Umpire Kellv,
who, by the way, was decidedly off
on balls ami strikes during lhe game, but
not in lliis inning. After Stallings and Works
had been struck out Sweeney went to the
bat. Ump re Kelly called the first ba 1 pitched
a strike, and Sweeney laughed, but when the
second ball pitched was called a strike lie kick
ed, went bacK to Kelly to argue and Hill threw
another ball that split the plate, which Kelly
said -very properly, too, —was a strike, and
Sweeney went out, not having struck at either
of the balls.
HILL APPLAUDED IN THE SIXTH.
. lii the fourth inning Sweet and Borchers
were struck out by Hill, which was a signal
fora good long round of applause. In the
fifth inning, alter two men had been put out,
Sweeney, who made such a kick in the third
inning, went up before Hill again. The
bleacher gods got on to him, and when Hill
struck him out a great hurrah went up. But
the crisis was reached in the sixth inning.
Whitehead. Dooley and O’Meara were struck
out by Hill in one, two, three order. This set
the audience wild, and the bleachers joined
the ladies in the grand stand, who waved their
handkerchiefs in the wildest manner, causing
Hill to lilt Iris cap several times.
GRAND FINISH—CLARKE’S FINE THROW.
Savannah made one run in the ninth
inning, and it was well for them that they
did. Wolf got to first on Whitehjffd’s error,
and to second and third on a wild throw of
Borchers, which O’Brien could not get. Mc-
Closkey bunted, but was put out. Butler hit
to right field, and Wolf scored, and Peeples
flew out to Whitehead. Nashville came in
for her half of the ninth. The audience im
mediately prepared to leave, the only regret
being that O’Brien did not get the ball inside
the fence in the first inning, so that Mac
could get under it.
Every one was certain that Nashville would
be put out in something like one, two, three,
don’t you see ?
But they were not, although it was a fore
gone conclusion, which, however, are, as a
rule, premature ends. Nashvill ■ made four
runs and made it decidedly interesting for
Savannah. O’Meara went out from Hill to
Wolf. • Sweet got his base on balls and
scored on Borchers’ two bagger to center.
O'Brien hit to center and Borcher scored.
Stallings was hit by Hill, which sent O Brien
to second. Works hit to center and O’Brien
scored, Stallings gring to third and Works
to second. Sweeney hit a liner to left, which
Clarke stopped after a long run. The hit
scored Stallings. Here is where the prettiest
play of the game occurred. Works had left
third before Clarke fielded the ball. He
realized that the game depended on him, and,
ducking his head, threw the ball home. It
went right into Jantzen’s hand and he
touched Works fully ten feet from home
base. This saved the game, as Whitehead
flew out to Wolf.
AH honor to Clarke, who is pre-cminentlv
the finest thrower in the Southern League.
Sammy Shaw was fined $1 yesterday by
Umpire Kelly for questioning his decision and
otherwise making himself obnoxious ; and in
the eighth inning was taken off the bench.

Iler six Votes (io to the Coweta Plowboy By a
Mhlorlly of «33.
Macon, June 15. [Special]—After
one of thgmost exciting local -struggles in
the political history of Bibb county, in
which nearly li,ooo votes were cast at the
primary election on yesterday, W. Y.
Atkinson has carried Bibb by 633 majority.
The Evans following were surprised that
Mr. Atkinson should carry the county and
were wholly unprepared for the very large
majority against Gen Evans, who was backed
by stro -g local political influences.
During the progress of the voting up to
noon the Evans forces were deluded into the
belief that everything was going their way,
, and for an hour they felt secure and over
confident, but from 1 o’clock oO.the Atkinson
democrats., poured in and turned the .tide,
sweeping the six votes of Bibb into the At
kinson column that has staggered the op
position and stampeded'the. Evartsfollowing.
Gen. Evans made several speeches in the
county, and prominent speakers, such as
Dupont Guerry and others, were on the
stump for him. Even the Macon News, that
went to press in the afternoon, claimed the
county, but what they claimed for a victory
proved a Waterloo.
The hopelesness of Gen. Evans’ candidacy
is now conceded, and on every hand is heard
the prediction that the general has no other
alternative now than to retire "from the race.
It is believed that when the returns from the
counties voting to-morrow come in, largely
for Atkinson, as they will be, that Gen.
Evans will withdraw, and while that with
drawal may not be officially given out to the
press of the state on Sunday morning, it will
probably appear in the dailies on the day fol
lowing.
The victory here was celebrated last night
by street parades, at the head of which bands
played popular airs. As significant of the
harmonious feeling among the democrats of
Macon, many who voted lor Gen. Evans
joined the Atkinson democrats in the ranks ,
and cheered with them for the next governor.
The six votes of Bibb gives Atkinson 120
votes to 68 for Gen. Evans, a lead of 52.

CRISP NOT IN IT.
Interesting Georgia Politics Which Come Vl#
New York.
The following telegram appears in yestei
day's New Yolk Herald:
Atlanta, Ga., June 12.—“ Speaker Crisp is
out ol it,” say the populists. They mean the
senawiinl iudixuli.'ms sca that
they are rigid.
Within the last three days there have been
some quiet, but interesting developments,
which seem to mean that the contest is to
develop into an administration and anti-ad
ministration fight, with Representative Tamer
leading the administration forces and Maj.
Bacon the others.
When Speaker Crisp declined the appoint
ment, which Mr Walsh accepted, his friends
said it simply meant postponement of the
realization of his senatorid aspirations until
the long terin His enemies shook their
heads.
There is undoubtedly an understanding be
tween Col Atkinson ami Mr Furner, and all
the administration forces have combined to
pull these two through The first step in the
development of the deal was the withdrawal |
of Fleming dußignon of Savannah, from the
senatorial race in behalf of Representative Tur
ner Dußignon was head ol the Cleveland
delegation to the Chicago convention. Then
dußignon took the stump in his section of the
state for Atkinson.
Now comes Hie news that representative
men from the northern part of the state
have been in conference with Atkinson, '
dußignon and Turner’s friends in Savannah,
and that all of the administration forces are
back of the combination. The anti-admin
istration strengh has been pledged Io Maj
Bacon, though some of it will go to ex
speaker Garrard of Columbus.
Speaker Crisp has been making a quiet
canvass of the situation through friends,
and it is said they have advised him to keep
out of it Senator Walsh would like to
have the long term, but his only chance is a
dark horse, and he is saying nothing in
consequence

THE THIRD DISTRICT OPPOSED TO
THE SCHEME.
Yesterday’s Conference Amounts to
Nothing—After To-Night the Antis
Will Organize and Pay No Further
Attention to the Opposition- Tam
many Not Willing to Submit to
the Peoole.
Yesterday’s conference between the anti-
Tammanyites and Tammanyites
nothing and it was adjourned to meet again
this afternoon at 5 o’clock. The Tigers refused
to go into a conference with the represent
atives of the Railway Protective Association.
It is hardly probable that the conference to
day will bring forth any results. The Tam
manyites have declared that they will
not agree to a primary in either
the Third district or the countiy districts, but
are willing for primaries in the First, Second
an<l Fourth districts.
The antis will not agree to anything ex
cept primaries in each district, and will make
this proposition at the theater mass
meeting to-night. It it is refused,
and the Tigers of the district
say it will be antis will go ahead without
any further reference to the Tammanyites, or
ganize the executive committee, elect their
chairman and proceed with the business of the
democratic party of Chatham county.
To-night’s mass meeting will no doubt be
a decidedly lively affair and it is expected that
there will be a repetition of the scenes in the
parade ground last Tuesday night. Both
actions will be out in force and there will be
a great struggle for the election of a chair
man. The Tammanyites will put up Mr
W. G. Cann and the antis will spring one of
the most popular men in the district
The story in the Morning Unreliable that
the an'i-Tammanyites had first made the
proposition for a compromise and primaries
is without the slightest foundation. The
Tigers began pleading Wednesday morning

Ajr Randolph Anderson told Mr. E. Wei)
this morning that the report that he had
asked for police en at to-night’s meeting was
untrue He did nut request the mayor for

Everything now points to two execu
tive committees for the county unless Tam
many is willing to submit to the will of the
people, who overwhelmingly defeated it in
the city districts last Tuesday night.
TRYING TO SETTLE.
Sir. O’Byrne Hid Nut Want Policeman Haines’
Assailants Prosecuted.
The case against Tom Fogarty, Drewery
and Lynch for assaulting Policeman Haines
was called in the recorder’s court to-day, but
the defendants were not present. Their at
torney, Mr. P J. O’Connor, asked fur a post- '
ponement which was granted until to-mor
row. Recorder Wilson, however, notified
' Mr, O’Connor that there would not be any
further postponement of the case, and if the
defendants were not ready to-morrow he
would turn the case over on the testimony of
the witnesses lor the prosecution.
This morning while a Daily Dispatch re
porter. Policeman Haines and a party of gentle
men were discussing the Fogaity assault case
Mr. Hairies said that Mr. Fngarty, the father
of Tom Fogarty, offered him $25 to settle the
case, and that he promptly refused to listen to
such a proposition.
Mr. Haines also received a letter from M. A.
O’Byrne, asking him to call on him, as he
wished to see him on important business.
When Mr. Haines received the letter be did
not have any idea what the business was
that Mr. O’Byrne wanted to see him about.''
Mr O’Byrne wanted Mr. Haines to let the
matter be settled in the recorder’s court and
not take it up to the city court. Mr. Haines
gave him to understand that he intended to
prosecute it to the fullest extent of the
law. Mr Haines says Mr O’Byrne also called
on a prominent official of the Plant system,
who took an interest in getting him on
the police force, to see it that official could
not induce Mr. Haines to drop the case.
When Mr. Haines told this official what Fo
garty had offered and what Mr. O'Byrne
wanted him to do, he told Mr. Haines that he
knew of it, as Mr. O’Byrne had been to see
him on the same errand. The official then
told Mr. Haines that he had worked tor him
about 17 years, but that if he settled this case
he would not have anything more to do with
him.
Mayor McDonough told Mr. Haines (hat
the case should be prosecuted against Fogarty,
Lynch and Drewery after the mass meetings
had been held,and he should not settle it even
for SI,OOO. The mayor added, it anything'
more was needed besides the services of the
city attorney he would go down in his own
pocket to defray the expenses.
Mr. Haines says Mr. O’Byrne also had a
small bill placed in his hand for collection
against him and sent word if the account was
not settled it would be placed in the hands ot
Chief Green and would probably result in his
dismissal from the force.
Mr. Haines says that this bill was made be-,
fore he was put on the police torce.
This is a delightful state of affairs. Solici
tor General Fraser says the case will be pro-j
secuted to the full extent of the law Hon.'
W. W. Osborne will be in the police court'
to-morrow to represent the state.
