VOL. 11. NO. 64. 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. Our New Shoe Store. We are better prepared than ever to save you money in the purchase of shoes.

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. AT THE HOTELS. At the Screven are: L R. Weaver and wife, Plant City, Fla.; George A. Henderson, At lanta; D.

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. OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY.

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. Lee All Bight Atlanta, Ga., June 15.—[Special.]—Indi- . cations point to an Atkinson victory in Lee county. CRISP NOT IN IT. Interesting Georgia Politics Which Come Vl# New York.

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 Tills Speaks far Itself.

The following from the Baltimore Sun is peculiarly apropos in Chatham county at this jucture: “The honest and intelligent voter should always act upon the principle, when you sec a corrupt machine smash it, confident that in doing so he is doing the highest service possible, not onl, to his country, but to j party organizations. For either the machine I must be destroyed or the party it represents will die from the poison of corruption which it engenders Tammany’s Greed for Wampum. From the feathered braves, whose brilliant rhetoric is a matter of stale pride to the spew-mongers who deal in patriotism for the position of night soil removers, the war hoop for wampum is heard.—Brunswick Times-Advertiser.

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 amt ti was ar uitn suggestion tu.u rue ami- Taminanyites appointed a conference com mittee. 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 any police, protection. 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. 1 ‘ .
