THE CITY'S DRAINAGE.
DR.. Falligant's Offer to the City Au
orities-Cost of the Proposed Svste

DR.. Falligant's Offer to the City Auth
orities-Cost of the Proposed System.
SAVANNAH, Sept. 21.-Editor Morning
Ne,os: There are some financial reasons
why the people of Savannah should adopt
the general plans for a system of lane
sewers for house drainage as advocated by
me. One important reason is that it will
only take about one half as much pipe
Each central lane pipe serving the houses
admitting on both sides of the lane
Another financial reason why the systems
proposed by me should be accepted is this
Under the present system the mains, as
laid IN the ground, have no openings for
house connections; and every time such a
connection has to be made considerable
expense is incurred in breaking into the
main to let in the end of the house drain,
Independent of the damage done to the
main by such breakage and the serious
intra-obstruction presented by the pro jet
ing points of the house drains.
Now, the manufacturer Of the piping
proposes to mould the pipes according to
any models for this purpose furnished by
me without extra cost per running foot, SO
that should we require 5000 running feet
exclusive of street spaces, with iar-cap
top openings for house drains at every Is
feet, that is 5000 openings of this kind,
some idea will be formed as to the saving
by my plans, saving, probably, amount
ing TO IS in each instance, or $25, 900 in the
aggregate in this one item.
The proposition made to me was TO lay
down the pipes in Savannah at 81 cents per
running foot for 12-inch pipe, or about sos,
600 to $50, 900 for pipe enough to complete
the work from Bay street to Anderson and
from West Broad to East Broad. A very
trifiing difference in price will secure Is
inch mains, if they DO thought more desira-
bic for the general lane system.
1t does not seem to me that the laying of
the pipes in the ground and construction of
man holes and ventilation openings ought
to cost any enormous sum in q sandy soil
like ours, unless the contractors were al
lowed to make too big profits for putting
the pipes in the ground Indeed, the chain
gang can doubtless be obtained for this part
of the work.
If we go promptly to work, the whole sys-
tenn can be put down this winter, and we
will have "our house in ORDER against the
contingencies Of next summer. Respect.
fully yours, L. A. FALLIGANT.
1t IS not out Of place in me to state that l
have offered to the city the use of my en-
gineeriug plans, models for piping, ETC., and
such service in a general supervisory way,
as may be able TO give, without compen-
sation. My work is planned for the best in
terests Of Savannah, and not for personal
gain. l.. A. r.

What Is to be Done with the Money!
Improvements Contemplated.
The Central railroads negotiation yester-
day of g. 900, 900 in bonds with Drexel, Nor
gan & Co., reported in the MORNING NEWS
dispatches this morning, is the latest move
by the Central.
President Alexander went to New York
last week with a view of closing the deal,
which has enabled the Central to place
$4,000 Of the proposed Sl0,00 600 issue,
and it is understood that the additional
5000, 600 are also to be taken by Drexel,
Morgan & Co.
1t is the intention of the Central to take
up its bonds falling due next October, and
in October, 1890: to build the Savannah and
Western from Eden to Americas, making a
direct line to Birmingham; to build two
additional ocean steamers to be known as
the Kansas City and the City of Memphis;
to remodel the Ocean Steamship wharves
giving better facilities for handling freights,
and to complete contemplated extensions of
the Centraps system in Alabama.
The deal is said to be the largest one in
southern securities since the war, and indi-
Gates the confidence felt in the progress of
this section. AS result of the successful
negotiation of $4,000. 900 in bonds there
may be expected period of activity in
railroad building covering the next two

Hattie Hicks Wanted There for As
sault with Intent to Murder.
Marshall A. A. Forehand and Deputy r.
w. Pughsley OF Barlow. arrived yesterday
to take Hattie Hicks (colored) back to Bar
tow for trial. The woman has been In Sa-
vannah for the past twelve months, and h as
been employed as laundress for railroad en-
ployes She is wanted in Barlow for as
sault with intent to murder a colored woman
there. She said that the difficulty grew
out of dispute over the husband
of third woman, and the two
fought. She denies shooting at
the other woman, but said that she dis
charged her pistol two or three times at a
drove of rice birds that came along about
the time the fight occurred. The shooting
took place a mile from Barlow. The Hicks
woman was arrested and given a prelim-
nary hearing and was released on $500
bond pending her trial A couple Of days
afterward she ran away and came TO Sayan-
NAH and has been here ever siuce.
The Barlow officials have endeavored
TO capture the woman several times, but
they were never successful. A description
was sent to the officials here, and Officer
Basch arrested her Thursday.
The prisoner recognized Marshal Fore
hand the moment he entered the jail. She
said she was glad TO see some of the people
from her home, and expressed willingness

The Ocean Steamship Company In
creases Its Fleet.
The Ocean Steamship Company is max
ing preparations for the largely increased
business which it will have to handle dur
ing the coming months. Not only has it to
move the greater portion of the cotton crop
of the lower tier of the southern states, and
in return to bring back the immense sup
plies used by the people of that territory,
but it now has to provide freightage for the
output of the iron mines of Alabama
Gen. G. NJ. Sorrel, general manager of
the steamship lines, has chartered two
large steamships, the Shawmut with a
capacity of $500 bales and the Mars with
a capacity of 5000 bales of cotton. These
steamers will run to New York, Boston or
Philadelphia. as business may require.
These ard the ten regular steamships will
doubtless place the company in position
to handle all tho business offering
and to keep cotton and other products
moving, and thus avoid block in trans
portation. Gen. Sorrel is determined to
supply every possible demand in Savannah
for freight room, and if the feet of twelve
vessels does not furnish 1t, it is probable that
more yet will be put on.

The Best Time to Buy vaIuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't gofar. The purchasing
power of a dollar now Is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. IL a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks aud quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides Of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we a0iH sell psrv
close to move some of it. This is good

TO BE DUMPED AT SEA.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND BUSHELS OF
WET OATS CONDEMNED.

The Health Authorities Scent Cargo
OF Rotting Grain Brought Here from
Augusta, and the Council Orders Its
Removal from the City-3,OOo Sacks
to be Carried OFF Tybee and Thrown
Overheard This Morning.
Fifteen thousand bushels of damaged
oats shipped here by Dunbar & Co. of
Augusta, and consigned to Moore, Hull &
Co., were condemned by the city council
yesterday, and will be be taken off Tybes
to-day and dumped into the sea, unless the
consignees remove them beyond the city
limits. This they refuse to do, and the oa:s
will be lightered out to sea this morning.
Five thousand bushels of the condemned
grain were received here Sunday. Messrs.
Moore, Hull q Co. engaged the upper cotton
press warehouse to store the oats in, and
Monday morning they were removed to tie
warehouse and spread out. The consignees
thought that Trey would be able to bring
the oats up to within about 30 Per cent. of
their original value. Two thousand bushels
in a somewhat worse condition arrived by
the steamer Advance, Thursday, and re-
manned at the wharf.
THE GRAIN WET AND ROTTING.
The grain was wet and rot ing. Alder
man Thomas reported the matter tt the
health authorities and an investigation was
made. The oats were found to be in bad
condition, and the stencil from them was
almost unbearable. A meeting of the city
council was called, and the grain was con-
demned
Mr.. T. NJ. Hull of Moore, Hull & Co. was
seen last night He said that he had wired
Dunbar & Co, and that Mr.. Dunbar will
be in Savannah this morning. Mr. Hull
did not think, however, that Mr. Dunbar
would be able to effect any terms with the
council.
$1,000 LOSS.
Dunbar & Co. will be the losers Mr..
Hull estimated their total loss, in case
the oats were carried out TO sea and dumped,
at about 81, POO.
I'VE would have been able, / am conf
dent, to dispose of the first lot at from -
cents or - cents per buShel," he said, and
the second lot at 5 cents per bushel.
Mr.. Hull said that ne did not know what
steps Mr.. Dunbar will take, but in all prob
ability he will try to recover from the city.

CORCIvICH LIKELY TO DIE.
TIE Victim of the Augusta Road Ro
berry Still Unconscious.

Tie Victim of the Augusta Road Rob
berry Still Unconscious.
Mannigo Corcivich, who was beaten to
insensibility Monday night by the negro
Roland, at the five-mile bend on the Au-
gusta road, was reported in very serious
condition yesterday He is still uncon-
scious, and there is little hope of his recov-
cry. There was some doubt about Roland
being the perpetrator of the assault and
robbery, as Tom Fleming, who is also a
notorious character, was seen around the
store Monday afternoon.
John Cincavich, who keeps the grocery,
is positive, however, that Roland is the
man. He says that he saw him near the
place when he came to town, and several
parties in the neighborhood said that Ro-
land made inquiries Of them as to where
Cincavich had gone. An old valise and
pair of shoes have been found in the store,
and it is presumed they belong to the party
who committed the robbery.
Officer McDermott has telegraphed the
sheriffs of adj Joining counties a description
of Roland, with request to hold him for
assault with intent TO murder if caught.
Information was received yesterday that
two colored men, one of them limpiag
badly, had been seen in a store a few miles
beyond Station n on the Central railroad
The authorities at that point were COM
municated with at ouce, but no further
trace of the parties could be obtained. 1t
was also reported that a suspicious character
had been seen day or two ago making his
way north through the country, aud the
officers here will request the South Carolina
officers 10 keep close lookout. 1t is
thought that Roland is making his way
toward South Carolina, where he has lived
a great portion of his time. Excitement
runs high in the neighborhood in which the
assault was made, and in all probability, if
Roland were captured by any of the citi-
zens, he would be summary dealt with.

BAD FOR GAINS AssAlLANTs.
The Evidence Against Isaac Mann
Accommodating.

Accommodating.
1t began 10 look doubtful whether, in the
crowd Of negroes who were engaged in the
row when Cain was cut, the crime could
be fastened upon the right party, but the
developments of yesterday afternoon ard
to-day make it look very dark for Isaac
Mann. Detective Wetherhorn has been
quietly working up the case, having been
given pointer last week, and a number OF
afiidavits have been secured by Justice
Molina which fix the crime upon Mann.
Susie Barlow says that Cain and the two
white men were attacked by the negroes,
who cut off all escape for Cain, at which
time she saw Mann strike Cain. She didn't
see anything in Mann's hand, but Cain, inn
diately after being struck, said my God,
I'm cut" and ran away, and Mann replied
YES, go and tell your friends gave it to
YOU"
Mary Cooler saw the row in front of
Crum's, and heard Cain cry out: I'm cut ="
just then Mann ran under her wind ow, and
she recognized him and heard him say:
Take that, and tell your friends / did it. y
This story Mary also told Alice Eve the
night following the morning of the affray
stephen Carter, who was arrested when
Mann was, says that he was sent for by
Mann, who told him that he had punched a
sailor, and he was talking very bitterly
against the white people. Carter says that
he went into Crum's to get an umbrella and
while there three white men came in, got
two beers and cigar and went out, when a
gang OF negroes fell on them and the
white men ran off, all but Cain, whom
Mann beaded off and struck, saying: Take
that Won ---- and tell your friends
did it," and that sfterward Mann told
him 81 did up that fellow myself just now"
Mann has written quite a lengthy state
ment OF tho affair, which is in the hands of
Justice Molina, the closing and material
part of which is as follows:
"When the three white men came out of
the bar as soon as they got in the door the
crowd Jumped on them. | was at the corner
The three men were down the lane, and the
crowd followed. After | seen that all were
running | ran Down Houston street until
go to Hull and down Hull to Price. Just
as got TO the corner | met Mr.. Carter. He
said to me Il cut that fellow | said you
didP He said Yes. | said you lie | did
not believe it 4 Next morning
after our arrest he called me aud | went in
his cell. | said that man (neaning CAIN
is in a bad fix He said TO me to be quiet:
that he was going to get lawyer. l said
| must try and get one too He said keep
still; the one get for myself l will get for
you"
Gains condition is about as it has been
for two days. 1t had been contemplate to
treat the wound by an internal chemical
before this, but as a change for
the worse set in Thursday, no operation has
been e.sayed. Mann and Carter were re-
moved from the barracks to the Jail yester-
day forenoon.

up water from the river. During the last

ing that the Cleveland freshet was several
inches higher than that which bears the

The naming of the Cleveland freshet, the
Charleston Nc,cs and Courier thinks, is
peculiarly fit and appropriate, since it is the
greatest overflow that has ever occurred on
the Santee. just as the Cleveland tidal wave,
which swept this country in November
1884, is the greatest ever known, and is only
