AnIntereated Audience.

Probably the most interested audience in
Savannah last evening was at Masonic Tenn
pie. They seemed to b greatly interested
in the Anatomy Of the Kidney and Liver,
and the cause and cure Of Bright's disease,
as given By DR.. Henion. Il was considered
an ineurable disease until Warmers Safe
Kidney and LIVER Cure was discovered, but
since the discovery OF this great remedy
hundreds had been cured. DR.. Henion said
It saved his life after he had been given up
TO die by the most eminent lhysicians in this
country, and it would cure seven out OF ten
that were given up to die with Bright's dis
ease or any other disease OF the kidneys or
liver. II all persons who are suffering from
urinary diseases Of any kind will taAe War
ner's Safe kidney and Liver Cure their re-
turn to health ana happiness viii be speedy

A BLUE TIME FOR sPECULA-

The Recent COIIapEe In COtton-Sa'
vannah Sufferers.

The rapid decline in cotton which has oc-
easioned almost panic in various cotton
ports and cities where the speculation in fu-
lures runs rife, and resulted in q number Of
failures, has also had demoralizlng effect
in Savannah, though we are glad
u say there are no failures reported.
During the past several days there
have been al unusual number
Of "blue" and elongated faces on the Bay,
and some OF the dealers in futures. BUYERS
and shippers, have been pretty badly hurt.
Ii is estimated that the total losses in savan-
nah will approximate $50, coo. though 1t Is
so distributed that no single house or indi-
vidual has been entirely crippled, though
they may be ''sick-"
There have also been great losses incurred
By Spectators in grain, and altogether the
situation on the Bay has not been as serene
and happy as is Characteristic OF Sayannah's
great mart.
A number OF the speeulstOrs have hede-
ed and hope 70 crawl through without seri-
Gus loss Some. We understand, could
realize a very handsome sum even low II
they could close out operations.
Yesterday there was a change IN the mar

HUTCHINSON,S ISLAND.
The Work of Repair to be Taken I'm
Charge By the City.

At the meeting Of Council last evening q
veyor, in reference to the present condition
of Hu.chinson's Island, was read. Mr..
howard made a thorough inspection Of the
work, and reported as follows:
On Monday afternoon, 18Th inst, visited
the work on Back river. was informed
that the break had been closed on Saturday
previous TO the extent OF keeping out the
tide, but on Sunday night the iron tie-rods
which held the two interior lines of piling
gave way, and the embankment settled
down 10 much that the tide broke in. From
the appearance of the break | thought it
probable that il would soon be closed again.
| again visited the work Wednesday after
noon aud find the damage more serious than
l had supposed it would be. a l;rge guam
titY OF new material has been pu' 81, but the
support afforded by the outer lin % piliDg
is evidently insufficient, aud the d.ling set
ties down as fast as 1t is thrown in, spread
ing outwards on the side next the river.
Ia relation to the embankments generally,
l DO not understand that the repairs made
thus far are intended TO BE- final, bur are
only designed to exclude the tides until the
breaks are all closed. The ether breaks on
Back river, two in number, closed some
time siuce. stand very well, but need atten-
ton, and, I thiok. additional work, 10 view
Of the sDrtrg tides on Saturday, Sunday
and Monday
Il will be seen by the proceedings of the
meeting Of Council that the city authorities
will now take charge OF the work. complete
the repairs and recover from the lessees
hereafter. L would seem from this action
that The forciDle manner in which the con-
dit,ol Of this island has been brought to
the notice Of the city authorities by the
Citizens Sanitary Association, and the deep
interest aroused thereby in the community
upon This subject, has had beneficial effect.

dwellings on York street, between Haber-
sham and Lincoln streets. The department
was soon on the ground, and Chief But
Ter az once deployed his force to the

so dense that for a while q little difficulty
was experienced in using the water effect
lively. By good management, however, the
FIRE was exJiDguished before AM material
damsge was done, snd was confined to the
building IL which IL originated. The build
ing was owned and occupied by Mr.. j. \.
Wilson, and vas insured for 81 900 in the

The COrOneT's Extra Account Not
AIInWed.

l. will be remembered that some time
since 3 Communication was submitted at 6
meeting Of the Board OF County Commits
sioners from d.. B. I. Sheftall, Coroner of
the county, sskipg to be unidentified for
extraordinary expenses incident to holding
inquests upon the bodies Of victims on the
Islands around the city from the great storm
in August last The account amounted in all
70 about Sos The matter has been
postponed from meeting to meeting of the
board and has had the consideration OF CON-
mites. Yesterday morning special meet
ing Of the Commissioners was held 10 take
final action. Section 16, paragraph 2. Of the
new constitution declares thai the General
Assembly shall not grant or authorize extra
compensation to any public officer, agent
or contractor after the service has been
rendered or the contract entered into. An
act passed December II, 1873, by the Legis-
laiure, declares: That from and after the
first day Of January next no Coroner In the
State Of Georgia shall receive out Of the
county treasury OF any county in this State
more than 81 500 per annum either as fees
for holding irquests or for burying the
dead"
The Commissioners, therefore, being pro-
hibited from granting extra compensation,
the claim was not allowed.

the present combination says:
"Nany novelties were introduced, whic

especially 70 those who have been familiar
with the old Humpty Dumpty OF years

The LINCOLN street Sewer.

Editor Morning NeeS: The Health Officer
visited me on Lincoln street at the sewer l
am laying by contract on Thursday last, and
expressed himself well satisfied with the
progress of the work. Since then I have
doubled the force of workmen, because l
had reached a point where there was less
embarrassment from other pipes and from
the caviDg in of earth. at this date I have
laid the large sewer up to the corner of
York street lane, the end Of the street sewer.
Nevertheless, the Health Officer has taken
occasion to make needless and ungenerous
fling at me about this work In reporting 1t
to the Sanitary Commissioners as progress
ing slowly. The criticism is unfair to me
and injurious to my business.

Heller on the Rampage.

Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock
considerable excitement was occasioned on
St. Julian street by the festive antics OF
young heller. Several negroes started after
the animal, when she turned on them and
chased them into a store. The heller then
pranced down to johnson square, and
jumping the rail, got into the plat on the
Congress street side. A large crowd
collected in the square and
regular circus entertainment followed,
as 1t were. Several venturesome colored
individuals sprang into the ring and en-
desvored TO run the heller out, but she
turned on them savagelY and they retreated
rapidly. Two dogs, a bull and a terrier,
were then set on the animal, but in turn
were discounted, and the poor heifer was
worried until she became almost frantic,
and finally, making q break through the
crowd, rushed up 81. Julian street and fell
from sheer exhaustion before reaching
Whitaker street, but recovered and was
afterwards placed on wagon by her owner,
tied, and carried off. The animal had es-
capped from a butcher st the Msrhet.
