To the Property Owners and Voters
of Savannah.

FELLOW CITIZENS: In placing myself be-
fore YOU as a candidate for membership of
the next City Council, respectfully ask
your consideration to the following meas
ures which l shall advocate if elected:
The filing up of the Ogeechee canal on
the western border of the city SO as tn oblit-
crate for all time the malarial diseases due
to its existence.
The abolition of our sinking privy system
wherever practicable, so as to remove not
only an enormous number of local foci of
disease, but an equally enormous number Of
public nuisances.
The construction of a house drainage sys-
tenn, designed especially to use our lanes for
this purpose, so as TO make one pipe do for
the blocks ON both sides, and secure an alb
solutely reliable and tnerhaustible means
Of publication by flushing, lessen the ex-
penses by nearly one-half, and not only
avoid carrying the drain pipes under our
houses "a very dangerous practice), but do
away with the constant and repeated tear
ings up Of our pavements such as must
necessarily ensue upon the adoption of the
"Waring system, - which the present ''com-
mittee OF councip' propose to force upon the
people Of Savannah.
In subsequent articles I shall expose to
the public scrutiny some so-called sanitary
and other doings by which the people Of
Savannah have suffered. Respectfully,
LOUIS A. FALLIGANT.

THE WEATHER FOR OCTOBER.
All Sorts of Things Predicted-The
Month at Sea.

October promises to be an interesting
month, meteorologically speaking. The
pilot chart for the month just begun con-
tains much valuable and interesting in
formation for navigators. The weather
forecast for October is as follows:
Generally moderate weather prevails
Gales occur along the transatlantic steam
ship routes about once in eight days. North
of the thirtieth parallel, and between Ber-
muda and the coast Of the United States,
gales occur about once in ten days. West
Indian hurricanes are likely 10 be encoun-
tered, although less frequently as the suns
south declination increases. Fog will be
encountered in diminishing quantities over
New England and the Canadian maritime
provinces.
The barometer normals for October, show
ing what pressure may be expected in diff
ferent parallels, will be of interest to marin
ers. 1t also publishes list of dangerous
distractions to navigation along the coast,
and sketches the course of the great Cuban
hurricane OF Sept. 1T, from the first indica-
tons of disturbance in the northeast trade
wind belt, east of the sixtieth meridian, on
Aug. 1881.
The tracks Of all the most notable October
hurricanes on record are plotted on the
charts in blue. TO indicate graphically the
limits OF the region where they are most
likely to be encountered. They also give
directions for action in case of a hurricane,
giving the earliest indications and the un.
mistaRable signs which indicate the APP
proach of gale, and brief rules for the
handling of ship while the hurricane lasts.
The diameter Of the area covered by such a
storm, it says, may be as great as 1000
miles, but the true storm area is much
smaller, the diameter of the cloud ring be-
-.
region where the wind is blowing a gale,
| only about 800 miles.

new postal cars, which the Central road
will have made as soon as possible. This

con, Smithvile and Albany to Jacksonville
1t is expected that the tram will be running
in few weeks
The completion of the western extension
Of the Georgia Pacific railroad to the Mis-
sissippi river will prove very beneficial to
Birmingham. The present indications are
that the extension will be finished within
the next eight or ten months. The country
through which the road is being built is
comparatively level, and as there are no
mountains to tunnel or steep hills to cut
through, the work is being pushed rapidly
to completion. The only obstacles in the
way are the three rivers which
are to be bridged The recent
floods have retarded the work
Of building the bridges SO that some delay
in completing the road may be occasioned.
The country that this extension will open
up will be directly tributary to Birming
ham. The people will bring their products
here to sell and will buy their supplies here.
Decides a through and direct line will be
opened to the Mississippi river. This will
be the coal and iron route for the west and
Mississippi river points.

HE WENT WITHOUT ASKING.
A Prisoner Takes French Leave OF
DsnutY Coleman in the Suburbs.

| a PRISONER IahC6 ChOh ASO1fO ~
Deputy Coleman in the Suburbs.
Henry Saunders, who has been confined
in Jail since the middle Of September on q
bail in trover writ from Justice Pattersops
court. escaped yesterday while Deputy
Coleman was taking him to see his family
out in the southern part OF the city. A. j.
! Miller g. Co, who we're prosecuting Saun-
ders, directed Justice Patterson TO release
| Saunders and allow him TO return to his
family and provide for them. The Justice
accordingly issued the discharge, aad in the
absence of his regular constable, +. Cole
man. a cigar maker at the corner OF Dray-
! ton and St Julian streets, was deputiZed to
! bring the prisoner TO Justice Patterson's
| office, and hold him there until other in
structioEs were given.
Justice Patterson's jurisdiction over the
prisoner went no further, after he had been
Instructed by Miller & Co. to discharge
him, but the justice had been informed that
a warrant in Justice Molina's court had
been sued against the prisoner, charging
him with cheating and swndling, and OBJ
tang money under false pretenses. For
that reason he held Saunders until his
constable could arrive to take him to JUS
tice Molina's office to answer the charge.
In the meantime Justice Patterson left his
Office for a few minutes, and when he re-
turned the deputy and prisoner were gone.
He thought little of their absence, other
than that they had gone out to get lunch,
and went on with his work. He had sent
Deputy Coleman out on former occasions and
the deputy had in every case been success
full, so that he did not allow the matter to
trouble him.
Toward the middle of the afternoon Con-
stable Coleman came in, and upon being in
formed that the deputy and the prisoner had
disappeared at noon, and had not since been
seen, he Immediately began search for the
men. and it was not until o'clock at night
that he found the deputy at his home in the
southern part of the city. The deputy
stated that he had been hunt
ing for the prisoner, and assigned that
as a reason for not returning to the office
He stated that Saunders made a request for
the deputy to go out with him to see his
wife aud children. Thinking that 1t was
but short distance, and that they would
return in a few minutes, he went with
Saunders. On their return the prisoner re-
quested to be allowed to go into yard on
Bismarck street after some water. The
deputy allowed him to go. Saunders went
into the yard, and, going around behind
some outhouses, disappeared. Deputy Cole
man endeavored to recapture Saunders, but
he was unsuccessful.

From the SQteehdtUker Hair CtLrler.
Our many readers will imagine how mad
we were when we noticed in the Colts
Valley Enterprise the following statement:
'Mr. Sile Budget was reading a copy of
the Colts Valley Enterprise on the train
last Thursday when he got cinder in his
eye. He was caused much pain, but he
finally got it out, and his eye is all right but
is slightly infamed."
Mr.. Budget was doing no such thing.
This is a gross Misrepresentation, and the
editor of the CoitS Valley Enterprise
knows it. We made inquiry OF the gentle
man who was injured, and he informed us
that he was cleaning the intelligence of the
week from the Squeehdtcker Hair CurLer, a
copy OF which We had presented him at the
depot that morning when he was SO I'M
fortunate as to get cinder in his eye. Sile
Budget is an entirely reliable gentleman
and an enthusiastic friend of ours. We are
very tired Of the underhand dealing of this
Colts Valley editor and are convinced that
he means to injure us. He recently told a
friend of ours that we carried our weekly
mail to the postoffice under our arm. This
is not true aud we can prove it by the post
master. We did do this some time ago, but
for several weeks we have had to use mar
ket basket belonging to "Uncle john" the
postmaster, who, by the way, has Just gotten

dry goods. Our circulation is increasing
rapidly, and since our last issue we put one

work off five quires every week, including.
of course, our exchanges, which we are
proud to say, number twenty-three. We
buy our ink by the gallon can. and this is
more than the editor of the Colts Valley
Enterprise can say, for we have been in his
battered oyster cup. Our subscribers will

Effect of the Constitutional Amend
ment's Probable Defeat.

Enect OF the constitutional Amend
ment's Probable Defeat.
The probable defeat of the constitutional
amendment adopted by the last legislature,
increasing the number of supreme court
judges from three to five, breaks up the
local slate Ringing upon Judge Adams
election to the new bench.
The vote on the amendment was the
general subject Of talk in political circles
yesterday, and ran way ahead of the
scratching of the legislative ticket here.
Hon. F. G. duBignon received the fol-
lowing telegram last night, at o'clock,
from State Treasurer Hardeman, saying:
Returns SO far show amendment defeated"
There was very little doubt in the after
noon that such was the case. Judge Adams
is still north and will probably not return
for some time yet, except the amendment
should be approved and he is needed here to
prosecute his canvass

CANOLINA'S RICE CROPS.
They VIII Turn Out Better Than the
Planters Expected


Considerable interest is felt in Charleston
in the fate Of the rice crops. The news
from the Santee rice fields, says the Ne,os
and Courier, is not of the most cheering
character. While no definite information
has been received from that quarter, it is
rumored that the Santee crops are in a bad
way. 1t is feared that the recent floods
have done considerable damage The
Combahee crops are also under the
weather. Mr.. j. b. Bissell, who has several
plantations under cultivation on that
river, was seen Thursday. He said that
the weather for the past ten or twelve days
has been exceedingly favorable for the
rice planters He was unable to give an
estimate Of the damage to the rice crop by
the rain and floods, but he thought that it
would be serious. He had himself lost
about 140 acres Of rice As far as could be
learned the planters ON the Cooper river
have not sustained any serious losses. 1t Is
thought that the South Carolina crop will,
upon the whole, turn out well.
