Keen out of the Lanes.

There is scarcely drayman or driver who
is not aware Of the fact that there is an or
dinance prohibiting the driving Of wagons
or vehicles OF any description through the
lanes. Knowing this, however, they con-
tinue to disregard it. The intention is to
secure the rigid enforcement Of this ordi-
nance, and the police are now on the look
out for all violators.
About IL o'clock yesterday morning Ser
geant Lee discovered Annie Reid and GeOr-
gia Stewart driving through Congress street
lane. The pair we're Immediately registered
for hearing before the Mayor on Friday
morning.
The same officer arrested Toney Fogarty
for driving through Liberty street lane.
London Marks and VIM. Shepard, col
ored, were guilty Of driving through Con-
gress street lane about nine O'Clock. VIM.
Martin, cOlored, was in a hurry to reach
home, and took a short cut through Jones
street lane, and Primus Jones, colored, was
apDrehended for the same offense-driving
through Jones street lane. These parties
will be Immediately looked after at the
matinee on Friday, and It is expected will
receive a lesson that will be of benefit to
them

Tampering with The pumps,

Editor Morning NeOs Permit me through
the medium Of your valuable paper to make
brief appeal for suffering humanity.
There are mischievous boys who unfortu-
nately delight In evil, who contin Rally tam
per with the pumps, throwing up the handle
so that 1t will not work. In this condition
for days, and sometimes weeks, 1t lies high
and dry, before the pump contractor is no.
titled and rights It.
This Is a great hardship and source of an
noyance to the residents in the vicinity of
the pump, who need to run to 1t continually
for fresh and cool water to moisten in this
roasting weather their parched lips.
AS these, We may say bad boys, may not
read the NEWS, we appeal to their parents
to speak to them, and make them sensible
OF the wrong and sin of such conduct.
Parents are responsible for the morals of
their children, and it is their duty, If they
desire to escape the "wrath to Gomez to
''train them In youth in the way they should
90, that when they grow old they will not
depart from It,"
II this mild appeal is disregarded, we will
be compelled to appeal to the city authori-
ties for protection.
A suitable reward offered for the detec-
ton and apprehension of these youthful,
and, perhaps. thoughtless offenders, and
making few examples of them, might
have q wholesome effect In putting an end
to the evil. GREENE SQUARE.

The Distractions In south Channel.

WILMINGTON ISLAND, July 11.-Editor
Morning News So much stress has been
laid upon the importance Of the
rock flats in south channel
that fear, when removed, the authorities
may consider no further action necessary,
when, in fact, they render the situation
only little more dangerous. There should
be permanent light at the distractions to
make the passage safe at night for the
Florida steamers as well as for smaller
craft. No one complains of any difficulty
in navigation during the light of day. Mr..
Fairchild's buoys consist Of small pieces of
wood, whose buoyancy is so slight that
when the tide is strong they are sometimes
submerged and invisible during the day; of
what use, therefore, at night, when the
fats themselves, sixty or more feet long
and six feet high, are not dissirnible until

Singing Their Melon Kinds Around
PrOmIscuOuslY.

The average cOlOred male or female sp-
pears not to take warning from tue expert
enee OF numerous parties who are daily ar
raigued before the Mayor in the Police
Court for violation Of the city ordinance,
in throwing garbage in the streets.
There is an ordinance now on the books
strictly fOrbidding it under heavy penalty.
Yesterday, about quarter to O'Clock, Pc
llceman Hennessy arrested Josh Watson for
throwing watermelon rinds in the streets.
The same officer arrested James
Scott for the same Offense. About an hour
later Anne Scott, eOlOred, had her name
entered on the information docket OF the
Police Court on the charge Of throwing
or allowing TO be thrown In the street lot
OF melon rinds. This habit is frequent
among the cOlored people, and etfectual
measures should be adopted to break it up.

Editor Morning Nass: don't know what
the grade Of the Broughton street sewer is,
but am not surprised to hear that It does
not cleanse itself.
have much experience In Cobb county
in using hillside bitches, and know that 1t
requires a grade of more than three inches
to the rod in the soil here, which has much
clay, to keep the sand from filing the
bitches.
Now this fall of three inches to the rod
amounts to eighty feet to the mile, and would
be practically impossible in merely the
present limits Of the city of Savannah, and
we.should lay our plans for great increase.
The area Of 1t has doubled since l can re-
member It.
/ labor under disadvantages so far from
the scene, have no map of Savannah, and
have no one TO tell nae Of the circumstances,
But can suppose that when food of rain
occurs, that the glut of water is sufficient
to wash out much of the impedimenta of
the sewers and that one cause of overflow
OF the Bilbo canal, and consequent damage
on the adj AGENT low grounds, was that the
heavier parts had so filed the canal as, with
the check OF velocity on the lower grade, TO
hold and this will continue to occur, unless
the canal is enlarged, and the dams raised
enormously
And this brings me to consider the action
OF the water in the sewers. If
the weather is dry the waste mat
ter will come In too slowly to
noat and carry off the filth and the added
trash of sand, leaves and sticks which get
In through the street traps, and all will
accumulate, even In a grade where sand
alone will flow with q common supply of
water, and will make its presence known by
It's effiuvia and by its effects on the health of
the citizens.
On the other hand, good pouring rain
supplies water enough to float and carry off
all this accumulation. appeal to those on
the spot, who can look into the matter, is
thts not so? Aud why not then have
shower at command by the use of tanks on
all the main sewers? And we need not
think 1t necessary to have the tanks near
one another all the way to Vernon river.
After the warter is started, the impetus
will accumulate, and the need of adding
more all the way will be lessened, so that
the last miles will only need one or two
tanks,
To those who went to sea In the old time
sailing vessel, a familiar illustration of the
force OF falling water may be recalled by
the memory of the early morning cry by the
sailors for washing the decks and its cleans
ing force.
The expense of much of this work can
hereafter be lessened by selling the sewage
water to the truck farmers, who will In a
few years cultivate all the Cuyler swamp,
and will want the sewage for manurial irri
cation.
This plan would be aided much by oc-
easional "catches" and "man-holes" to clean
out more weighty matters, and could also be
used for manure, A s. of Roswell.

a SIIgh1 Sensation at Tvbee,

Yesterday there was some sensation ere
ated among the boarders of the Ocean
House at Tybee by the report that the
young son Of one Of the guests could not be
found, and apprehensions were aroused that
he might have met an untimelY fate. Dill
gent search was made on the island,
and, after an hour or so of sus-
pense aud uneasiness, all fears as to
the safety Of the lad were set at rest by the
discovery that he had gone on the Plant
early in the morning, and the steamer NOV
ing of before he was aware of it, he was
brought up to the city, and concluded to re-
main until evening. The telephone message
he sent announcing the fact was not received
until after the family and friends had been
pretty badly scared.

The Planets for July.

July will not fall behind the previous
months in objects Of exceeding interest for
those who follow the movements of the
planetary wanderers on the azure arch that
nightly spreads its glittering canopy over
our heads. Saturn and Jupiter will be seen
to withdraw from their close companion
ship, but both planets will be in coDjunc-
ton with Mars, their quicker pace outstrip-
ping his slower steps. Venus will reach the
end of the chain that limits her westward
path, and, remaining stationary for few
days, seem almost consciously to regret the
resistless force that compels her to retrace
her steps and subside for time mo COM
parative insignifcance. The mol.; n prom
Uses rich material for observers OF the
stars. A majestic comet wends It's way
In the north at a tremendous pace.
Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn
are radiant morning stars. Could we
take passage on the retreat1ng comet,
what glorious views might be obtained as
we passed in our rapid passage near these
shining worlds, while the sun grew dim
and the giant planets doomed forth with
their rings and moons and vast dimensions.
Our own system might then be left behind
and the distance spanned from sun to sun
before our course was backward turned,
while even then we would have but faint
idea of that boundless universe, from whose
confines light is a million years reaching
mortal eyes. Meantime to come back to
the little planet on which we dwell and
which is our observatory while mortality
hedges US in, there are three things to be
grateful fOr-that great comet is paying
US visit without saying "bY your leave"
that 1t shines in the northern skies. where
it may be easily seen. and that we have the
midsummer nights for watch and ward
