A RAILROAD IN TWO COURTS.
Wrangling Over the Savannah, Dub.
L. "a NrzA.....-. g.. =.

WranRling Over the Savannah, Dub
lin and Western Short Line.
In the superior court yesterday in the
case of Ferguson & Co. ct al against the
Savannah, Dublin and Western Short Line
Railway Company, ]. G. Brill & Co. were
made parties complainant.
Brill & Co. allege in their declaration
that the railroad is indebted to them in the
sum of s12,50O for passenger coaches and
other cars. 1t is the only instance of record
in the local courts where an inchoate rail-
road, without tracks upon which cars could
be run, is sued for coaches which never
were operated, as the road has never been
built.
But the Savannah, Dublin and Western
Short Line railway is destined to figure in
more courts than one.
Judge Emory Speer of the United States
circuit court has set down for tomorrow
the case of Langdon ct al. VS.. Branch ct al, ,
to show cause why Branch should not obey
the mandate of the court to pay over the
proceeds of the sale of the Savannah, Dub
lin and Western Short Line road to the re-
ceiver.
1t is not at all likely that Mr.. Branch will
appear in person. In fact when the case
was assigned for hearing in Macon he was
not feeling well, and having pocketed $780,
900 paid by Gen. Z. 2. Alexander Of the
Central railroad, and presumably dis
tributed it, portion of which is said to
have come to Savannah, he was in Virginia.
In this connection an amusing incident is
related. A court official was furnished
with papers to serve on Mr.. Branch. The
official, it is reported, went to the hotel
where Mr.. Branch was staying, and
the officer, not desiring to intrude upon a
social gathering in Mr.. Branch's room,
watched the light in the room until the
morning sun eclipsed the efrulgence of the
electric light, when he ventured to
enter the room and found it like some
banquet hall deserted. The lights
were burning, but Mr.. Branch was
non est inUentus He has continued
to be inaccessible to legal service 1t is be-
lieved, however, that when the case is
called here tomorrow in the United States
court counsel will appear for him to
answer. and no one need be surprised if the
plea is entered that Mr.. Branch sold the
franchise Of the Savannah, Dublin and
Western Short Line road before the man
date of the court, and also dis tributed the
proceeds which were beyond his power to
reach aud pay over when the decree was
made

YELLOW FEVER IN SANFORD.
The Savannah Authorities Notified of
Its Appearances There.

The Savannah Authorities Notified OF
Its Appearance There.
Mayor Schwarz received a telegram yes
terday from Sanford, Fla, that a death
from yellow fever had occurred there on
Monday. The dispatch coming from Dr.
Daniel, of the state board of health Of Flor
ida, could not be doubted, and it was a gem
uine surprise, as Sanford was one of the
Florida cities which escaped last summers
epidemic.
That yellow fever should show itself so
soon in Florida was calculated to arouse
grave appre lension, and Mayor Scbwarz
lost no time in announcing the fact to the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
officials, and warned them not TO receive
any passengers OF freight from the infected
district until further information is OBJ
tainable.
Mayor Schwarz was seen by MORNING
NEWS reporter last night. The mayor said
that be gees no occasion for alarm. Every
precEutlon VIII be tRKen 10 protect Savan-
nah from an importation Of the disease.
The mayor proposes to act promptly. II it
be an isolated case at Sanford, and others
do not follow, there will not be a
necessity for such strict quar-
antine but Mayor ScbwarZ said
that in any event no chances will be taken.
While be does not intend nor desire 10 take
any steps to cripple the trade and commerce
Of the city, If Florida is threatened with a
visitation Of yellow fever. Savannah must
necessarily guard against it. and measures
will be taken proportiouate to the emer-
gency which NAV arise. The mayor added
that the city Is in an excellent
sanitary condition and the sanitary
work was begun early and prosecuted vigi-
lantiy with the view Of having the city in
such condition as to reduce to a minimum
the danger OF infectious or contagious cpl
denies. He does not think that Savannah
is in any danger If reasonable precaution
| is taken to exclude all doubtful baggage,
| freight and travel, and this will DO insisted
upon and enforced at the first appearance
OF danger.
Mayor Schwarz was asked IL he thought
there was any immediate danger from the
influx of Florida travel, and he said the
| only Information he had was that conveyed
| by DR.. Daniels telegram. He said that he
has nothing to conceal from the public. On
the contrary, he thinks the people should
know all the facts, and tnat they can ma
terially aid in the work of sanitation by
seeing that their promises are put in the
best sanitary condition.

OUR ARTESIAN WATER.
AN ANALYSIS SHOWING THAT IT
IS WHOLESOME.

The Chief Chemist of the Geological
Survey Makes a Report Upon It-He
Finds That There is Nothing Dele
terious In II, and He Gives Full
Statement OF All He Found in It.
Editor Morning Nel0s: was one OF
those who rejoiced over the introduction of
artesian water. 1 regarded it as great
blessing to the people Of our fair city. The
reports of the health officer showing that
since its introduction the mortality of the
city has greatly decreased, and that the
general health is greatly improved, prove
that it is q blessing.
There were, however, not a few of the
most intelligent members of our COM
munity, occupying socially and profession
ally the highest position, who were unwill-
ing to share in our appreciation of the
artesian water, and who were rather in
clined to think that in the near future some
serious trouble might affiict the community
by the use of it. Having a great respect
for their opinion and anxious to dispel or
establish the gloomy anticipation. | assumed
the responsibility of having a fresh analysis
of the water made by some authority
that would command the respect and conf
dence or tne puOllc.
/ first appealed to the Smithsonian
institution of Washington, d. c.. but was
informed that that institution had not the
proper appliances for the work. / then
called upon the Department Of Agriculture
at Washington, but that department could
not attempt to do the work, though very
willing, owing to pressure of agricultural
work. On the suggestion of some friends
called upon Prof. Sheppard of Charleston. s.
c.. and finally, at the suggestion of the secre-
tary of the Smithsonian institute, Wash
ington, d. c., appealed to the director of
of the United States geological survey at
Washington, D. c., who generously and
very courteously, offered to do the work
and send to me full report of the result. At
his request l sent him five gallons of the
water taken from a hydrant after the
water had been permitted to flow for two
hours. The demijohn was new one. The
water was sent more than a month ago.
Col. j. w. Powell, director Of the United
States geological survey, write as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY,
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 10, 1889.
Mr., C. MeHe!Gs, Savannah, Ga:
DEAR SIR-I transmit herewith the chief
chemists report of full qualitative analysis,
which has just been made under his supervision,
of the Savannah drinking water referred to in
your letters of Feb z and 10.
l regret that pressure of official work pre-
vented an earlier compliance with your wishes
and hope the delay has not detracted from the
value of the report. Yours with respect,
j. W. POWELL, Director.
