THE CITY DIsPENsARY.

Something About the Workings of an
Important Department OF the City
Government.
Few people outside of the humber
classes know anything of the workings OF
the CITY Dispensary, yet it is one Of the
most interesting and humane depart
ments Of the city government. Through
ii the poor who are unable to pay are
supplied with medicines, and, in many in
stances. with medical aid, and much suffer
ing aud distress is removed and possible
death averted. The DispensaTy has been
established since 1853. IL Is supported
by q regular appropriation made by the
City Council, and ever since It's establish
ment It has been growing in Importance
and usefulness.
Under the law the Dispensary supplies
rredicine to the poor of the city and Of the
county. the police force and the police
barracks. the fire department, quarantine
station. the pest house, and all the orphan
asylums. The county pays the city at
the rate Of 80 cents for each prescription
furnished 20 the poor outside the city
limits. In addition 10 furnishing medi-
cine to this large population there is
much work Of surgical nature per-
formed at the Dispensary. Whenever any
one meets with an accident which renders
medical aid necessary they, in nine cases
out Of te-. 20 direct to the City Dispensary.
Here they are temporarily relieved and
then directed to the nearest physician. III
the injury is serious physician
is at once summoned. All physicians
are allowed to write prescriptions. These
prescriptions, in addition To designating
the medicine needed, state the name, age,
color and sex of the person for whom II
is needed, coupled with the statement
that they are unable TO pay. 1t Is esti-
mated that the Dispensary saves 10 the
Door Of Savannah between Slo,OOO ana
$40 600 yearly for medicines, and the eX-
Dense TO the city is about s.. 800. About
81. 100 prescriptions yearly are filled. With
the exception of about $500 all of these
are for persons residing IN the city. The
managemt nj Of the Dispensary is admir-
able. Every thing is systematically ar
ranged. and the affairs OF the place are
conducted with great precision and care.
The hours are from O'Clock In the morn
ing until 10 O'Clock at night, but all
calls. no matter at what hour, are attended
TO. Either superintendent Cass or his
assistant, Mr. John +. Morris, are con-
stantly behind the counter, and frequent
Iv the combined IabOrs of both are needed
to meet the demands Of the public. One
thing which increases the labor, and al
the same time lessons the expense OF the
institution. is that all medical prepara-
lions made in large drug stores are made
in the Dispensary, and the establishment
is fully equipped for the purposes OF It's
maintenance. The Dispensary is pro-
Vfded with "A set Of surgical instruments
for the use Of the physicians when they
are called in 10 attend case.
Mr.. Cass has been superintendent of
the Dispensary for a number Of years,
during which time he has shown him.
self very capable. During the entire
yellow fever epidemic he stood at his post
and put in Is hours day through the
most of that trying period.

RAILROAD NEWS.

It is reported that Mr.. st. Clair Abrams,
who went North for the purpose, has sue
ceeded in securing the iron for the T.. o.
and A. Railroad, and that 1t will be
shipped in short time.
The Florida Southern Railway Com
pany having purchased the st. Johns and
Lake Eustis Railway, S. Conant has as
sumed the general management. The
road VIII hereafter be known as the st.
Johns and Lake Eustis Division of the
Florida Southern Railway. The following
officers are announced: W. j. Jarvis,
superintendent; D. W. BromweIl, Gen
eral Freight and Passenger Agent: J. G.
Teller, Cashier and Traffic Auditor: W.
p. Copper, Chief Engineer. Until the
line between Leesburg and Fort Mason
is opened for business, the general offices
will be as heretofore at Fort Mason.
One Of the most important railroad con-
solicitations ever made in South Carolina,
says special of Jan. 6, have been effected
at Greenville, the Greenville and Laur-
ems Railroad, through the efforts of
Mayor COurtenay, of Charleston, being
merged with the Midland Railroad Com
pany. of South Carolina, and turning over
TO that company cash in hand and So
miles of graded road, equal in all to
$250,OOO. 1t was the unanimous opinion
of the meeting that the line should pass
through Lexington county to Columbia.
1t was agreed that all the subscriptions
to the Midland Railroad Company be
made under an explicit understanding
and agreement that the shares be held to
the great end of securing a permanent
impregnable short railroad line between
upper South Carolina and Charleston. 1t
was further determined to obtain a char
ter in North Carolina tor the Midland
Railroads extension to Asheville. For
the earliest possible completion of this
section of the road, it is understood, $780,
600 will be forthcoming from the upper
counties, of which Greenville city and
county will subscribe 5000, 900 to secure
and control an air line to the West free
from pools and outside influence. The
counties of Rutherford and Mitchell, in
North Carolina, have already voted $780,
600 each in cash to aid the enterprise.
This new line will be independent of the
Clyde system of roads, which now consti-
tutes a monopoly in South Carolina. A
significant fact is that every dollar put
into this road will be furnished by South
ern capitalists.

cesS-He Draws $4,000 in the Lou
isiana State Lottery, and has Re
ceIved Every Dollar of the Money.
In order to verify the rumor that Mr.. j.
II. Kuttner, Of Georgetown, KY, had
drawn 5000 in the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, held Dec. Is, a Press
representa- went to Georgetown on
Monday to see Mr.. Kuttner and get the
facts in the case from his own lips. Mr..
Kuttner was found in his store, and eX-
tended the Press reporter smiling well
come. He is a POiander, having migrated
to this country about 80 years ago. When
the war of the rebellion came up he Joined
the Confederate army and was seriously
wounded at the battle of Fordouche, La.
After the war he engaged in the dry

Mr.. Kuttner that he would try his luck
in the Louisiana State Lottery. For II
months he invested dollar each month,

of Dec. II, Mr.. Kuttner received tele-
gram from New Orleans announcing
that his ticket had drawn one-ffth of the

too good to believe without a lit

Kuttner deposited his ticket in the Sec
ond National Bank of Georgetown, and
went at once to Cincinnati to find out the
truthfulness of the report. At Cincinnati
the report was fully confirmed, and Mr..
Kuttner at once ordered the Second Ma
tiOnal Bank of Georgetown to collect the
$50, 900 for him through the Canal Bank Of
New Orleans. The money was promptly
paid by the Canal Bank in full. not cent
being deducted for commissions. The
money was brought to Georgetown by the
Adams Express Company, and deposited

will engage actively in the hotel business.
Mr.. Kuttner says that there has been a

her into quarantine, was blown out to

her. and for the same reason
the bark was not missed. 1t is not known
what day she left. A permit was given

her she was not to be found. The theory
lie that she was blown to sea, or slipped
