RESOLUTIONS.
Notes from the 5 sOrm at Doboy

A correspondent, under date of Tuesday,
Both, furnishes the following IN regard to
the effects of the storm at Doboy:
Mr.. Rowland, a very industrious man, and
butcher of the town, was drowned Saturday
morning. He had been to this island to
serve his customers with beef, and on his
way home was capsiZed in a squall and
drowned. He leaves a wife and five small
children to mourn his loss.
It has been blowing here for a week,
but Saturday night was the worst we have
had for some years. The wind at twelve
o'clock must have had a velocity of fully
sixty or seventy miles an hour. The whole
island suffered Earthquakes blown down,
mill smoke stack, also one house. The tug
Winpenny and two barges from Savannah
were at the wharf, and but for the heroic
conduct of Capt. Henry Fleetwood and his
crew, all would have gone down. As 1t was,
the barge lockwood, after every effort was
made to save her, sank at the wharf.
The Crescent City, belonging to Captain
John Brown, would have also been lost but
for the noble conduct of Mr. Henry Mitch
ealsOn, who, at the risk OF his life, cut the
wharf away, as the tenders mad broken and
the cap logs had gone completely through
her houses. The pilot boat Ethel was blown
high up on Sapelo beach, and will have to
be dug out of the sand.
There were three arrivals here Yesterday
three barks-the Baltic, and two unknown.
The Captain Of the Baltic says he came in
collision with an unknown vessel Saturday
night, but no serious damage to his vessel.
Mr.. Phinny, who is In charge Of the barge
lockwood, is doing his best to recover the
property belonging to his vessel that is
siOat.

holding inquests upon the bodies Of the IN
fortunate victims Of the late gale, and CIV
ing certificates Of burial. The remains Of

cred on the neighboring islands and float

1nconnection with the articles on sewerage
that have been published, the following
from the Southern Iresbyterian, Columbia,
8. c., Of the 18th inst, is of interest:
at is announced that Berlin has adopted
the sewerage system in successful use at
Dantzic, under which the city is divided
into sewer districts leading to points about
the border of the city, where the sewer
contents are pumped out, mixed with water
and spread over sandy soil, which absorbs
all deleterious matters, water reasonably
pure being drained off. AS a necessary part
of the system, each house is directly con-
nected with the sewers, and a plentiful sup
ply OF water is used to flush the sewers and
house drains. At Dantzic a field of 400
acres of sandy soil is large enough to purify
the sewerage OF a town OF 100, 900 inhabi-
tants. Since the adoption of this system,
which, 1t will be observed, does away with
the pollution of rivers and streams, the
death rate Of Dantzic has dropped from SO
per 900 to 20. The annual cost Of pump
ing the sewerage, the only point at which
the system is more costly than ordinary
sewers, is $1,000, and is met by the crops
from the irrigated lands"

THE TURPENTINE INTEREST
The Extent of the Damage-slOO.-
600 the Estimate.

We have received the following from
Messrs. A. T.. Lee & Bro, of this city, in
regard to the damage done the turpentine
interest in this section by the late storm.
One Of the firm has just returned from a
trip on the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, and the result Of his observations
and examination IS as follows:
"We have to report that every turpentine
farm on the line OF the railroad and ada
cent thereto Is, as far as Jesup, almost q
complete wreck. In most Of cases there Is
total destruction and the places have been
abandoned for continued operations. The
loss IS lrreparable. The lowest estimate
OF the damage sustained In that section VIII
amount To more than one hundred thousand
dollars. Had the storm extended TO all
sections as disastTOusly, it would have en-
tirelV destroyed the turpentine interest. Re
ports show while Il was very disastrous gen
orally, the farms we're not totally destroyed
as was the case in the section before men
toned"

KILLED AT SEA.
A Seaman Falls from AIOft During n
Gale and Breaks His Neck.

The bark Mendoza, Capt. Whittenore,
arrived here yesterday from Bath, Me-,
with a cargo of ice. She reports having
left Bath on the 9Th of August, and ex-
perienced heavy southwest gales and rough
seas for three weeks after leaving port, but
sustained no damage.
On the morning Of the 21st, at half-past
twelve O'Clock, James Tute, seaman, was
aloft taking in maintOpsail during a heavy
gale, when he fell with terrible force to the
deck, striking on his head and shoulders,
and was instantly killed, his neck and spine
being broken. He was buried az sea the
next day. The deceased was only seventeen
years old, and his parents reside in Brook
lyn, New York, Of which place ne was a
native.
We are informed that the young mans
family are in good circumstances, and were
opposed to his adopting q seafsring life.
He was, however, fascinated with the i'm
aginary delights Of life on the ocean wave,
and shipped as a common seaman before
the mast. His experience was brief, as he
lost his life on his first voyage.

The WAFER work.-Ihe supply

The large pump at the Water Works was
stopped yesterday morning for the purpose
OF cleaning out the salt and sand which had
got IN It during the late storm. About
week will be required to put it In good
order, and in the meantime two Of the old
pumps are doing the work. The brick
work around the receiving reservoirs is
washed down in several places, and the en-
tire premises bear evidence of the effects OF
gale and tide. In this connection we would
caH attention to the fact that the place
through which the water supply comes Is
getting more filthy every day, and It
behOOVes those who have the health and
cleanliness Of the city and the people at
heart, to give US a supply OF water uncUn-
taminated by sewerage, drainage and oital.
This work should not be delayed a day
longer than necessary.

An TnaispensabIs Necessity.

A few years ago there was deep rooted
prejudice in the minds Of many otherwise
liberal people against medicinal remedies OF
which the component parts were unknown
to the world st large. This prejudice, how
ever, Is dying out very rapidly; and no
grester proof Of it can be offered than let
terrecently received from l. s. Potter, an
American Consul in Prussia, who says: 81

Killer IN my household as an indispensable

The Rice Crop.

There is some difference Of opinion as to
the extent Of the damages that will result
from the action Of the salt water on the rice.
Some Of the planters say that all rice, ex-
cepting that which was ready to be harvested
when the fields were flooded, will be totally
destroyed, and that this portion of the crop
viii be badly injured. One planter states
that the crop has been damaged r. m
80 to so per cent. on the plantations al ng
the Savannah and Ogeechee rivers and in
South Carolina on Back river. On the Alta
maha the plantations have suffered but
little. Very little Of the rice was ready for
the harvest when the fields were over
flowed, and it IS feared that the worst pre-
dictiOns will be fully realized

Our Destroyed Shade Trees-HOw
they should be Replaced.

Editor Morning NesOs: Alderman Ayls-
worth, the Chairman of the Committee on
Streets and Lanes, heartily deserves the
thanks of our people for his prompt and
energetic action in removing the obstruc-
lions to our public thoroughfares, caused by
the cyclone of Saturday night. But above
all for his sensible and timely efforts to re-
store TO Savannah so many of her beautiful
trees-her pride-which have not been too
much injured to be raised. Their bare
limbs, locked Of their foliage, will, how
ever, long be a remembrance of the 9th Of
August.
In the approaching fall 1t will be necessary
to plant throughout the city large number
of young trees to replace those destroyed.
Now, let me suggest to Alderman AYles-
worth that two thirds of the number planted
out be the SlOeet gum, beautiful tree, healthy
and anti fever, like the eucalyptus of Austria
liza (which is a o!le gum, both possessing
the same health giving and malaria absorb
ing properties. We feel assured that our
worthy friend will think over the matter aud
act with his usual good judgment. But for
heavens sake, no more tOdter oaks!

Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock a
colored man named Abe Stewart met with
a frightful accident at the Central Railroad
wharves. He was at work moving some
timber under the elevated railroad, which
had been disjointed during the gale, when
heavy bar Of railroad iron fell
from the top striking him upon
the left leg, between the knee and ankle,
knocking him down and crushing his leg in
a horrible manner, the bones being splin--
tered. He was extricated as soon as posi-
BILE and conveyed to his home, on Indian
street lane, near West Broad, where Drs.
Myers, Chisholm and Lincoln were sum-
moned to see him. After an examination,
the physicians found it was impossible to
save the fractured leg and amputation was
decided upon. The operation was conse
quentlY performed, and last night Abe was
doing finely. He is reputed a hard-work-
ing, honest, industrious man, and pro-
nOunced by the "boss" under whom he
was working as one of his best hands. The
accident to him is much regretted.

An Incident of the StOrm-A Dog
Supposed 20 be Lost Turns Up.


Early Saturday evening Captain John
Thompson, living at Tybee, left HIS house
and with his wife went to a neighbours
residence. He was not appreheusive that
their place was in any great danger, as the
storm had not yet developed into cyclone,
bat only as an extra precaution thought it
well to make the change. A dog, which
usually slept in the house, was left in it as
protection against parties who
might be prowling about. In the
morning the house was not to be seen, and
the lot where il stood a slue, and the dog
was given up as lost. While they were
wondering as TO the fate of the canine he
was seen coming down the rosd from the
direction OF Sszlrin's, and in a few minutes
was on the spot and as frisky as ever. A
part Of the house was afterwards found in
the direction from whence he came.
"Piggy's" experience that night would be
worth hearing IL he could tell 1t.
