The COIOred BrIgadier General of
Charleston Dangerously stabbed
by an Infuriated Rival,


j. c. Clsussen, the colored Brigadier
General commanding the First Brigade Of
National Guard, South Carolina, at Charles
ton, who is well known to the colored pee
pie OF Savannah, was very dangerously
stabbed on Friday night by Edward Jones
colored. Two wounds were inflicted in the
abdomen, about four inches in depth, and
are considered very serious.
Jones' statement Of the affair is that he
had for some time past been visiting a wo-
man In Wentworth street, near st. Philip
street, and had on several occasions, much
to his dislike, met Claussen there. Friday
afternoon, when he went to pay visit by
appointment, he met Claussen by the gate.
He said to him; "YOu here again ~ Claus
sen, he says. replied by striking him, and
throwing his hand behind his back as if in
the act Of drawing pistol. Thinking that
Claussen was armed and was about to shoot,
he pulled out his knife and stabbed him.
He says that Claussen advanced upon him
from the Erst, and that he (Jones) backed
aeress the street before he struck a blow.
Jones was committed to Jail to await the
result of Claussen's wounds.

The Sewerage system.


Editor Morning NelOS: A communication
in Saturday mornings issue signed A. s.,
OF Roswell, seems to indicate that the writer
thinks that my communication of the 10th
was intended as an attack upon the theory
of cleaning sewers, according to the method
suggested by him in his preceding articles.
This, however, is not my intention, as be-
lieve that the storm water alone would be
sufficient to keep the sewers wholesome
were it not for the house connections, and
A. S. says he did not consider house drain
age when he wrote the article. But these
house connections must be considered, since
they constitute almost the only cause which
renders our sewers dangerous to health,
and l do not think that the plan OF flushing
recommended is adequate to the exigencies
of the case.
A. S. is certainly in error In supposing
that there is no danger Of the percolation Of
foul water through the walls of the sewers,
for these were built to drain the surround
ing land, and have answered that purpose
admirably, lowering the water bed OF the
city to the level of their own bottom, and
certainly in dry weather whatever fluid they
contain will pass readily into the surround
ing soil. 1t is on account of the great
difficulty and expense OF constructing a
system Of sewers which will answer well
for the purpose of carrying off storm aud
soil water and the foul drainage of houses,
that most sanitarians now recommend two
separate systems of pipes. See reports of
Col. Waring and Prof. Ames to the City
Council of Augusta. (ChrOnicle and Con-
stiiItiOn0list, of Augusta, Friday June B.,
1851
Experiments made to test the amount of
flow in sewers in dry weather show that the
sewage from 1891 houses inhabited by
$500 people in st. Louis, Mo-, was only
sufficient to fill twelve inch glazed pipe
TO the depth of seven inches, and large
proportion of this water was soil drainage.
When we consider that this small stream was
flowing in the bottom of a sewer seven feet
three inches in diameter, we can understand
its utter inability to prevent deposits from
being formed, and can form some idea Of
the immense amount of water necessary to
be added in order to give full securing
flow. See bulletin of the National Board Of
Health, August z, 1880. CITIZEN.

One Of his children was a daughter,

and their property was such as to give
her the prospect of ample means if the!

the father was wise. and the daughte,
was sensible. So one day he said to hel :
You have every prospect. my daugh-
