sAVANNAHs HEALTH.
An Admirable Record Comparison with
New York.

An Admirable Record-COmparisOn with
Sew York.
A representative of the MORNING NEWS
called upon Health Officer. DIR. J. 7. Nc
Farland. Yesterday for the purpose of as
certainIng the health of Savannah in
comparison with other cities. The Doctor
informed the reporter that the mortuary
statistics of New York IN the year 1882
were as follows: Died 1881, which is a
rate of % per thousand. total births D.
32l, and still births 2646. Thus it is seen
that there were 10000 more deaths than
births, and out OF every ten births there
was one still BIRTH OF this number 1879
were suicides. l died from rat poisoning.
from soothing syrup. from acetic acid,
{ from opium. and 912 from measles.
In comparing the two cities.
New York and savannah. and
taking into consideration the great
difference in population. it Will be found
that Savannah IS by far the healthier Of
the two cities: The total population Of
savannah in 1882 was &c, 1873. Whites 90
j14: number of deaths for the year 80.
Black and cOlOred 16.S19, and number of
deaths for the year 740. The aggregate
for both was 1.115. making the annual ra-
ito per one thousand: white population
1918. and for the black and cOlOred pop
ulatiOn All.
The death ratio per one thousand, COM
pairing the white population of New York
with that of Savannah, gives the former
city an increase Of II deaths per 1000
over Savannah.

oPENISG OF THE THEATRE.
Armstrong Brothers 3Iinstrels Score an
ApplaUded success.

Armstrong Brothers Minstrels Score an
Applauded success.
Last nights opening of the theatrical
season IN this city was a success IN every
sense Of the term, Minsrelsv's popular
ity with the local play-gOers and a wide
spread curiosity to view the transfOrma-
ton which the interior Of the playhouse
has undergone during the summer. drew
an audience which taxed the seating ca
pacity of the house to its utmost and lett
many standing in the aisles.
As already published in the News, the
Theatre is now one Of the prettiest IN the
south. a fact which viii aid not a little
in drawing good audiences throughout
the season. 1t Is already conceded IN the
North that the present Armstrong or
ganizatiOn is one Ofthe strongest ever put
on the road. and last nights continued
laughter and piaudits bespoke S1Van-
aah's indOrSemect of the rating. The
company embraces some OF the best
minstrel talent in the country, and all
hackneyed acts have been shelyed.and new
ones introduced. All last nights songs
and witucisms were new and irresistible,
the singing being particularly fine and
well received. The cast embraces several
exceptionally fine s0lOists, who, with
almost faultless choral and orchestral
support, are bound to make the musical
part of the programme famous. Salyo,
the InnOvatOr, the Powers brothers on
skates. the four midgets. the four planets,
and Fields and Hanson in their famous
musical eccentricitics. constitute a
galaxy which no company can outshine.
The company appear this afternoon and
tonight, and will questiOnless draw the
good houses of which they are deserving.
At II O'Clock this morning "A parade of the
principal streets will he made. The
matinee will begin at , O'Clock. and will

the End.
The CorOner's jury in the Haertel tragedy
was in session all day yesterday, taking
a recess at > O'Clock, converting again at
4 O'Clock and adjOurning at 11:40 last
night. Fifteen new witnesses were eX-
amined and additional information OBJ
tanned. though it is stated nothing of a
positive nature. Five additional wit
nesses will be examined this morning.
The Coroner stated TO a NEWS reporter
that the jury would positively arrive at
a verdict sometime to-day.
1t was anticipated that a decision
would have been reached last night, but,
owing to the examination of so large a
number of witnesses yesterday, the jury
thought it best to postpone their decision
until other testimony had been taken,
that fair and impartial verdict might be
rendered

Quotations at Galveston and New Or-
leans are higher than in Savannah. being
for cotton of superior staple, which con-
stitutes the bulk of their receipts, ana are
not obtainable for upland cotton.
In Mobile, although the market is quot
ed &c higher than in Savannah. II Is re-
ported nominal-sales none.
Charleston classification is one-haII 10
three-quarters of a grade stricter than ea-
yannah class, hence the quotation there
is higher.
NOrfolks quotation of 9%c. is for old
cotton, which Eastern spinners prefer TO
new crops, and for which they pay higher
prices.
Norfolk has carried stock of l5,OOO
bales through the summer, and receipts
of new cotton at that point so far amount
to only a few hundred bales. Besides the
actual rate of freight by steamer from
Savannah to New York is 81 80, from Nor
folk to New York soc. a bale. Hence cot
ton is intrinsically worth 3-l6c. more IN
