Mr.. Marmaduke Hamilton to be
Capt. Wheaton's Deputy.
Tomorrow will be the last day OF Au-
gust, but the custom house officials will
not draw their pay through Collector
johnson as usual. A dispatch received
from Washington yesterday stated that
Capt. Wheaton has qualified as Collector
and the check for the amount OF the pay
roll will be drawn in his name. He is not
expected to take charge before Wednes-
day il then, although it would be more
desirable to begin with the month.
1t is believed now that Mr.. Marmaduke
Hamilton will be the Deputy Collector.
AS stated in the NEWS few days ago,
Mr.. Hamilton was rendered the Deputy
PostmastershIp by Capt. Lamar, and the
offer was accepted. He was afterwards
given TO understand that the Deputy Col
lectorship was at his refusal. The pay
for the Deputy Postmastership is 81. 700,
and the Deputy Collector gets $4,000 a
year and has less work to do.
Mr.. Hamilton requested Capt. Lamar
to release him, which was done. Mr.. OAR
win Hull was also a candidate for the
place.
Yesterday it was reported that Mr..

WATER RATE 5.
The Cutting OFF the Water Supply
Condemned.

condemned.
SAVANNAH, Aug. 2S.-Again the peril
odical warning to water takers appears
informing them that IL In arrears on sept.
the city water supply will be shut of.
1t would seem that the management
which dictates such a method as this, to
insure the collection OF water dues, can
hardly be aware Of the serious conse-
quences that may attend the enforcement.
The city is partially provided with sewers
and is supposed to be fully protected by
q board Of health, still this menace to
health is periodically put forth. The
plumbing of every house, where prac-
tica BILE, is connected with the city sewers,
and the presence OF water In the service
pipes is not only necessary for the comfort
of the occupants, but Is essential to the
healthy condition OF that house, inasmuch
as the traps which cut of the sewer gas
depend upon the water which they receive
daily from the city supply. Shut OF the
city water and the seals Of these traps are
destroyed, removing the only barrier
which can shut out the foul air from the
sewers, and opening direct passage from
them to every room in the house which ia
provided with a basin, sink, or other
plumbing appliance.
That any family residing in this city
should be exposed to these dangers be-
cause the water rent Is not pad, 10 to say
the least OF it impolitic aud ! question
very much the legal right OF the city to
take any such step.
There is no doubt that sickness can be
produced by the contamination of the air
of our dwellings by sewer air, and it is
for this reason that most cities prohibit
the connection of any plumbing fixture
with the sewers until the house is sup
piled with water. All municipal plumb
ing. regulations require sinks,
basins and closets to be provided
with traps, the object of which
is to shut out sewer gas. These regula-
tons are enforced, and plumbers are re-
CURED to put suitable traps under all fix
lures, while in Savannah we find the city
putting all deliDquents on notice, that on
certain day it will remove the traps
from every sink, basin and closet, and
pour upon the offending family the noX.
ious fumes from the sewers. Does it not
seem that our city fathers should devise
some other method OF collecting water
rents. Surely a plan could be found
which would not jeopardize the lives OF
the offender, his family and neighbors.
1t is the duty of every community to
endeavOr to protect the health of such in
dividuals or families as are either too
poor or too Indifferent to the principles of
sanitation to take care of themselves, and
1t is only by the full recognition of this
duty to humanity, and an earnest ard
intelligent effort to fulfill 1t that the health
standard can be raised. "SANITAS."

A sAvANNAHIAN HoNoRED.
James II. Lewis Nominated for Sena-

James ii, Lewis Nominated for Sena-
tor in Washington Territory.
James II. Lewis, Esq, formerly with
Chisholm & Erwin, Of this city, has been
nominated to represent the Tacoma dis
trict in the Territorial Senate OF Wash
ingtOn Territory. Mr.. Lewis left here
about two years ago and located in Ia
coma. He afterwards went to Seattle,
where he has built up fine practice.
The Seattle Daily Press In abiding to Mr..
Lewis nomination says: "We observe
from the nominations of the Democratic
Territorial Convention, which met at Ia
coma to nominate delegate TO Congress
and other Territorial officers, that among
other nominations Seattle's eloquent and
able young attorney, James Hamilton
Lewis, was unanimously nominated
to the Territorial Senate to repre-
sent King, skagit and snohomlsh
counties, three OF the most infu-
entail counties in the Territory Indeed
this is an honor TO so young a man as
Mr.. Lewis, who is only "a years of age
and resident among us OF year and
eight months, but who in such a brief
space Of time has by his ability and cour-
toous manners won his way to the hearts
Of our people. Speaking OF MIR. Lewis
personally, we are confident, aside from
party, that no more brilliant representa-
tive in the Senate can be had from this
Eleventh Senatorial district"
Mr.. Lewis has many friends here who
will be glad to learn OF his success In the
far West. He is an energetic, go-ahead
young man, and Will make his mark any,

THE LITTLE RICE BIRD.
The Agricultural Hureau InVes-
tigatlng the Feathered Pest.

Inc Agricultural bureau lnVes-
tiGating the Feathered Pest.
The rice bird is just coming into mar
ket, delicacy only known to those who
live near the coast, for as great traveller
as he is when feathered, journey. when
he Is dressed and packed in ice, detracts
from bis flavor. In the meantime the Ag-
ricultural Bureau at Washington is In
vestigating the rice bird.
1t is found that rice 10 the extent OF 81
per acre is annually destroyed by these
delights OF the breakfast table. The in
terest OF the farmer and the epicure are
In conflict. By experiment it has been
asoertained thar the rice seed soaked in
spirits OF turpentine will not be injured,
out VIII sprout beautifully. Inc 0lrd
taxes bite and wants no more. 1t is
slckened, and flies away to obtain more
wholesome and palatabe substance. The
deslderatum is now to find something to
prevent the ravages of the little robbers
later IN the season when the birds return
and the rice has developed.
The ornithologist asks the rice growers
fifteen questions. Among them are such
as, How many acres IN cultivation
structioD, from firearms and otherwise,
by the rice birds? There is another enemy
to the rice planter, numerous and de-
structive-the rice field rats, which are
considered by the rice field negroes great
delcacies.
The New Orleans Tlmes.DemOcrat thus
speaks of the hopeless fight against the
swarming toothsome depredators:
There is but one preventive known in
Louisiana against native rice birds,
Those who have Travelled through the rice
regions in August have seen numbers oil
platforms erected in the rice fields and &C.
cupied by a few thousand sentines.
They have heard the early morning air
resonant with long rolling creole 'cuss
Words the loud reports of heavy rawhlde
whips, the deep boom of the duck gun, the
hoarse roar of the revolutionary musket,
till they wondered If Picketts grand
charge at Gettysburg, with its rattling
musketry, its roaring cannon, its yell of
advancing legions, and its responsive
hurrah from the blue lines on the heights,
made any more c0mmOtiOn on the earth
than few ablehodied, broad lunged
Louisiana rice farmers can make. And
this will probably be. for one thousand
years at least. the only way of getting rid
OF the rice birds.
sour planters wisely discount their
depredations and make provisions for
them in advance, very much as the old
darkey who was in the habit of planting
four grains of corn in each hill did. He
said: Il draps this kyernal for de crow,
dis for de wurrums, dis for de LaWd and
dis for me.''

WINDING UP the SEASON.
The Savannahs to Leave Tonight
for Nashville-NIore of Atlanta.

The Savannahs to Leave Tonight
for Nashville-NIore of Atlanta.
The Savannahs will leave tonight for
Nashville and will play the closing games
OF the season there this week. Atlanta
did not play in Memphis Saturday and her
percentage OF games won, counting out
the games claimed from Savannah as for
teited, IS 1883. In the summary in yester-
days NEWS Atlanta was credited with
having won Saturdays game at Memphis.
Atlanta has no more games to play and
consequently cannot increase her per-
centage.
The League meeting Will have to de-
eide where the pennant goes. Atlanta
already claims it and it is not unlikely
that she will get 1t. If Savannah wins
the six games at Nashville there is a pos.
sibility that she will be awarded the
pennant.
The rumor that Savannah disbanded on
Friday night was sent out from Atlanta
on the strength IF a dispatch which the
Constitution claimed to have received
from Nashville. The announcement
caused some stir in base ball circles, but
the rumOr was promptly denied by
Director Haas. The club Will play out the
season. The Atlanta directors are appeal
ing LOT money 10 reorganlZe the club and
osteRslbly to secure the present team for
next season. The Atlanta directors are
evidently in a good deal of hurry to get
hold OF funds. Under no circumstances
can player be signed until October, and
Atlanta need have no fear of a SCOOP in
her players.
Among other nonsense that the Atlanta
papers get off is the talk that Atlanta will
next year be in the American Associa-
ton. There is about as much likelihood
OF Atlanta getting into the association as
there Is of Savannah being in the Nation
al League.

Com pared with Cricket.

Editor Morning NeWS: Having arrived
in this country In the spring from Eng
land, where l took great interest in the
portunity of seeing the game of base ball.
While there is no doubt that the game it.
self is equal to cricket,it is sadly married
by the kicking that goes on. lowering its
standard.
What is the cause of this kicking? Some
blame the poor umpire, but we have UNI
pires In cricket; that game is ALWAYS
played fairly and kickers are not
known. The reason is simply this:
The cricket club is not gotten IN TO
see how much money il can pay It's play
eTs, but is got up by each county ''with
head club in London called Marylebone
Cricket Club" to play among themselves
for the honor of winning. The clubs are
supported, in most cases, by gentlemen
Of the district, who not only find the cash,
which is hardly ever required, but do far
more by going into the field and taking
part in the games under the title OF anna
tours. Nearly all clubs are captained by
amateurs. There are DR.. Grace. 'tbe
champion" Lord Harris, Honorable b. f.
Hawke, Mr.. A. n. Horribly, Mr.. A. G,
Steel and a hundred others who are al
ways ready to take the bat or ball for his
county.
There are no amateurs here. The coun-
try is entirely oyerrun with professional.
ism. Take the club OF this city. IL goes
under the name OF the Savannah club.
liz 1t composed OF Savannah players? No.
1t IS a representative Of the money that
the city paws for them. What IL wanted
Is law similar TO that in cricket, which
reads something Ike this:
"No man can play for town or county
unless he has resided three years in the
said county" This could be altered so
that no man can be allowed TO play for
club unless he has resided within fifty
miles perhaps Of the clubs ground for
three years. There are numerous argu-
ments for this. Every club would be a
thoroughly representative club. IL would
give greater scope to local talent. 1t
would be cheaper-every man having a
fixed salary according 10 his position on
the field. There would be no players 10
be released. 1t would give encourage.
ment TO amateurs, who would get all their
expenses paid, and who would SIMPLY
play for the honor there is In 1t. 1t will
command better audiences. Il. II.

CALLED by A FALSE ALARM
The Fire department Fooled by a
Swaying Wire.


A false alarm WAS sounded yesterday
afternoon apparently from box No. %.
Mr.. J. VI. Gardiner, a special agent OF
the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph
Company, was placing a new switch
board ofthe latest improved design in
circuit at the fremen's headquarters at
the time.
Chief Fernandez was writing IN his
office adjoining the battery room. The
Big Duke and the Exchange bell were
cut out, but the gong in the engine house
struck. BY the time the first round was
struck the horses were harnessed to the
hose carriage and TO the hook and ladder
truck. and when the second round began
striking the chief and the whole company
were on their way to the Central railroad
passenger shed. When they got there
they found that no alarm had been turned
in from box %. Upon returning 10 the en-
CINE house they learned from Mr.Gardiner
that the alarm was caused by one Of the
hundreds of wires connected with the
switchboard slipping out of place. by
chance the wire swayed against the other
wires and accidentally caused the alarm
twenty three to be struck twice. The
accident proved the promptnesS OF the de-
partment. To-day several OF the boxes
will be pulled tor the purpose of testing
the different circuits.
A new gong with patent indicator at
tached will be put in No. engine house
shortly. The arrangement combines an
indicator with a tfteen-inch Excelsior
gong, each having magnet, and acting
entirely Independent of the other. Every
time an alarm is sounded the indicator
will point to the number on the board.
The advantage of the combination is that
even If one number is missed by the gong
in striking, as frequently happens, the
box will be indicated on the board.

BOOMING THE JUG TRADE.
One of the Effects of Prohibition in
AtIanta-Macon's Benefit.

Administrators Benefit.
A Central railroad man was talking last
night about the effect of prohibition on
business in Atlanta. He said that he could
not see any difference except in the jug
trade, which is all going to Macon. Sat
urday is the big day and the jugs are sent
out from Macon by the hundred. All of
the dry counties that used TO send their
Jugs to Atlanta to be filled now send to
Macon and the saloon men there are doing
a largely increased and at the same time
profitable business.
Ii there was to be another prohibition
campaign in Atlanta. the railroad man
said that IL is understood that the Macon
liquor dealers would send money TO At
lanta for the prOhibitionlsts to use. The
charge has been made. he said, that the
Macon dealers helped the Atlanta PROFIT
bitionIsts in the last fight, but that report
is not generally credited. Atlanta people,
however, have no doubt but that in the
future Macon will be unanimous for pro-
hibition in Atlanta.
