Dyeing is always hand process, as the color

does not attempt to interfere. Long troughs fill

occasionally to and fro to make sure all parts
have fair chance. The muddy hues suggest

glory of the completed fabric, and we will not
enter into any trade secrets Of their composition.
But there is good dyeing and bed dyeing, honest
dyeing and false dyeing and u silk maker who
has intent to deceive can make his yarn take
300 per cent. Of extra weight by the use Of me-

for some of the cheapness as we'll as the bad

been reached. The work up to that time
had been slow, on several days only a
depth Of a few inches being attained.
Yesterday, however, an additional
depth OF GA feet was drilled, the

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.
An Important Sanitary Move Under Con-
alteration.

The subject Of the sewerage system OF
Savannah is just now receiving consider
able attention from the members Of the
city government. The necessity for con-
structing new system has for long
time agItated the minds of prominent citl-
zens and the matter is now before the peo-
PIE. An informal meeting of the City
Council will be held at noon to-day TO
consider the question. Mr.. George f..
Waring, the celebrated sanitary engi-
neer, who arrived in the city yesterday
for the purpose of making a prellml-
nary survey of the city and its surround
ings. with q view to introducing
the Waring system of sewerage, will
submit an informal report OF his ooser-
YatiOns made yesterday. ana an estimate
of the cost of the work. The Sanitary
Board will be present. and the Council
has extended an invitation to all citizens
interested in the sanitary Improvement OF
the CITY and the closing Of the Bilbo canal.
Mr. vs. airing made tour Of inspection
through the northern, central and eastern
parts OF the city yesterday in company
with City surveyor Howard. In the at
tern0on a conference was had with the
Drainage Committee of the Council,
and to-day the western portion OF
the city. including Yamacraw, where Mr..
Warng anticipates the greatest difficulty
in obtaining a reliable drainage, viii be
visited. A rough estimate of the cost Of
introducing the system, which has accom-
plished such remarkable sanitary results
in Memphis and in many Northern cities,
and which is now being introduced in
Norfolk. is $4,000 for the city north Of
GWinnett street and $4,000 additional tor
conveying the sewage to its outlet
through Timber Landing creek, about two
miles east of the limits. This, of
course, is q rough estimate, and
is considered by Mr.. Warning an outside
figure, within which the work could be
DONE and very probably at a considerably
less outlay. The Drainage Committee
will also secure to-day an estimate for the
drainage of the southern portion Of the
city between Gwinnett and Anderson
streets.
The system which Mr.. Waring has in
view includes at least three sewers rum
ming from Bay street south, very likely
through Habersham, Barnard and West
Broad streets, tapped by lateral sewers
running from east to west through
the lanes, except in those streets
which have no lanes, and emptying
into a main sewer running through
Gwinnett street. This main sewer, as
well as the branch sewers, would he Of
vitrfied pipe and would extend eastward,
carrying the sewage below the city to its
outlet. The plan contemplates the re-
moyal Of all sewage where it could not
in any way cOntaminate the
city water supply, as would he
the case if it emptied into the
river opposite the wharyes as at present.
The question is an important one and of
vital interest TO the people, and tull
discussion is invited by the Council.

WATERING THE CAR TRACKS.
a Conflict Between the City and the
Street Railways.


Street Railways.
The question of watering the street
railway tracks has been before the public
Tor long time. Some days ago the ofi-
GERS Of the City and Suburban Railway
We're placed on the information docket, at
the instance OF Messrs. f. NJ. Hun, Frank
Buchanan and w. j.. NAPLES, for viola
ton Of the city ordinance in failing to
keep them watered. The case was
heard in the Mayors Court yesterday
morning. Capt !. II Johnston. President
Of tue road, responded and conducted the
case before Mayor Lester. He showed that
the streets through which the City and SUI
burban lines were laid had been Watered
no to April 20, when the Inspector of Water
Works stopped further watering, threat
enng to carry the hands on the water car
to the barracks. Application was made
to the Chief OF Police tor protection
Of the men, as il was advisable to water
the track. This application was refused
and the work was stopped. The trouble
grew out of an ordinance passed Dee. II
of last year, compelling the street rail-
ways TO water their tracks. As had been
customary for the past ten years or more,
the fire plugs were used for obtaining the
water.
On June q resolution was passed
stopping the use of fire hydrants and
ordering the railways 10 erect hydrants for
their own use, which the companies could
not do on account of the cost. IL was
cOntended that the resolution sought TO
change an ordinance which previously
gave tue use of the hYdrants and which
was an imp0ssibility. The water works
authorities could not, therefore. arrest
the men carrying out an ordinance.
The railways expressed a willingness
aud a desire to water the tracks if let
alone. and said if the fire plugs We're not
condition TO use the city should put them
in order
They did not wish 10 take advantage Of
the law and plead the uuconstitutiOnallty
Of the ordinance. The Mayor said he
wanted to hear from the railways on that
point, however. it was then shown that
they had paid the same taxes as other
common carriers; that other carriers
kicked up as much dust as the railway
cars or more, yet they We're the only
parties of The same class that had an or
dinance imposing the water tax upon
them.
The Mayor concluded that il was a
knOtty question to settle, and continued
the case in the helef that by bringing the
Chairman Of the Committee on W alter
Works and the railway authorities to-
gether the differences could be settled.
