between Habersham and Price streets.
Notwithstanding the recent rains, which
had considerably dampened the eX-

the adjacent houses occupied by Absalom

cOlored. who barely had time 10 move
mart Of their household effects INTO the
street. About this time the apparatus OF
the Fire Department reached the scene,
but the fire plugs were 50 far distant. and
the flames had gained such Roadway
that the Jealous efforts of the firemen fall
I'd 10 save any one Of the buildings. Two
or three breaks in lines Of hose also
occurred. and some valuable time was
lost in supplying other sections. On the
south side of Duffy street and nearly OPP
pOsite the fire the members Of the depart
ment succeeded in saving row OF frame
buildings that were exposed TO the heat,
and for a time in imminent danger. The
western tenement occupied by George
Washington was owned by John DeyeauN
and insured in companies represented by
Mr.. c. G. Falligant, for the sum Of 5000.
The insurance amounts to about One-half
the value Of the structure.
The house. occupied by John Desery,
was owned by the Pulaski Mutual Loan

The total loss is estimated at about $1,000.

Considerable damage is reported in va
riOus parts Of the city from the heavy
rains of yesterday and the day before.
The streets are badly washed in many
places and Easements and cellars were
flooded. The rain yesterday forenoon was
one Of the heaviest ever experienced in
Savannah. The sewers were made
quate to carry off the surface
water. and every locality lower than the
street was flooded. The Market basement
suffered seriously. and the restaurants
were deluged. the floors being covered
several inches deep. Several cellars on
Congress and BrOughtOn streets were also
inundated. The loose lumber lying i'm
front Of Alderman Hanley's new building,
on Whitaker street, was carried some
distance below the building.
The sewer on AbercOrn street, at its
intersection with Duffy. caved in, wash
Ing i'm the track Of the AbercOrn street
railroad, and temporarily delaying travel.
The break occurred by the giving in
Of the top of the Duffy street sewer
where il connects with the sewer on AbeT-
corn street. 1t was covered with planks
which have rottcd ont and were washed
away by the heavy rain. The track was
also INSTRUCTED al two other places by
tine sand from the high ground being
washed over il. 1t is expected that the
break viii bee repaired to-day and the cars
run through as usual.
y bad break also occurred in the SOW

Duffy streets. \ large force of men will
be at work to-day, and the break will be

cured of a blood malady which was eat
ing my life away. tried one physician
after another, and the Warm Springs, the
Hot Springs, the Sulphur Springs, and
finally found myself completely broken
down, poisoned with scrOfula, poisoned

by all the doctors. In this condition, l

gone-my skin is clear, and l feel as well

For years past adiUdged lunatics in this

other provision could be made for them.
The Ordinary Of the county has had the
matter of providing suitable quarters I'M

the better provision now made for them is
assuredly a work of Christian charity.

The heavy rain yesterday morning tested
the sewers to their very highest capacity.
The main sewer on BroughtOn street was
scarcelyadequate to carry off the heavy
rainfall from adjoining sewers. In seve-
raj places along the principal streets the
water was Of such depth that a number
of merchants had TO make quick pro-
vision against a deluge in their offices
and business houses. The main sewer on
BrOughtOn street is about three feet in
circumference. which seems hardly large
enough to carry off the great overflow
during heavy rain. 1t increases in size
until It reaches East Broad street. where
il measures eight feet in circumference.

connections, Is worth much more to a CITY
