IN NEED OF DRAINAGE.
The Condition of Lawton's Plantation

The Condition of Lawton's Plantation
and Lands East of the City.
In pursuance of instructions from the
committee on public health Of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, Inspector Desvergers
recently forwarded to Capt. Blandford, the
engineer engaged on the typographical sur
vey of the county, copy of the resolution
passed by the committee, requesting Capt
Blandford to furnish the association such
Information in reference to the condition of
the lowlands Of the Lawton plantation as
is in his possession.
The inspector has received a tracing
made by Capt. Blandford, showing Brad
ley's creek, Jones, Lawton's and Bilbo
canals, and the various bitches dis
charging into them. Accompanying the
sketch was the following note from Capt.
Blandford:
"You will perceive that nearly all the
drainage from as far south as the Thunder
bolt road, and the crest of the hill on the
east, on Lawton's plantation, passes through
Bradleys creek, mainly coming into it
through Jones' canal When l surveyed
this section some six months ago, found
the drainage very imperfect; in fact, it
amounted almost TO no drainage, and unless
some changes have been made since then,
the whole section is in a very bad condition
IN this respect"
The inspector says that inasmuch as no
changes have been made and thing has
been done since the survey except the occa-
sionai cleaning by the city gang of jones'
creek and the bitches, the committee on
public health instructed the inspector to
communicate the substance of Capt. Bland
ford's report to Supt. Fleming, of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway.
The inspector has received a communica-
ton from Supt. Hege of the Gem
trail railroad, in reference to the con-
struction of the culvert under the road bed
near its intersection with the Louisville and
Augusta road, which the inspector had sug-
gested as necessary to drain the pits
there, stating that be would have the pipe
placed at the locality. and notify County
Engineer Thomas, SO that no could have
the work done by the county as agreed upon.

THE FIRST FRUIT CARGO.
The Ydun Opens the Seasons Blue
field Trade with a Big Cargo.

The Xdun Opens the Seasons Blue
Held Trade with a Big Cargo
The banana season has opened with a
rush. Fer the last two weeks small lots
have been received from New Orleans and
New York, but the first cargo from Blue
field arrived yesterday morning. The
Xdun, steamer engaged for the banana
and cocoanut trade from Blusfield to Savan-
nah during the season, is at the Baltimore
dock after a six and half days voy-
age.e The vessel had cargo
of 5000 punches Of banan IS.
Her arrival is earlier than was expected,
but she came from a healthy country, and
she will continue to make semi-monthly
trips from Blueheld, bringing bananas and
cocoanuts.
The fruit is in flrst-class condition,
kavanaugh & Brennan, who are running
the vessel in conjunction with W. L. Rath-
bun of New York, began discharging the
cargo at noon. The vessel was discharged
in six hours. Part of the fruit was lightered
up the river to the FIRMS warehouse, and
the balance was loaded in cars for the west.
When the vessel arrived yesterday things
were animated on the dock. The idea of
receiving fruit here this early in the season,
and in such large quantities, forecasts big
movement
When ]. 8. Collins & Co. start their two
schoouers from Barracoa to Savannah,
which will be within short time, the inn
portation of fruit to this port to be dis
tributed through the west will be very
large.
The Ydun is a larger vessel than the
Stanford, which was in the Bluefeld trade
last season. The capacity Of the Ydun is
greater, and she will do better service.
Up to a few weeks ago she had been run
ming regularly between Bluetield and
Philadelphia.

A TRIP TO BLURFIELD.
A Glimpse OF the Banana Fields of
Nicaragua.

Capt, Christian Stoltz, of the steamer
Ydun, which brought in the first cargo Of
Bluedeld fruit for the season yesterday, is
greatly impressed with Nicaragua. He
made his first trip to Central America this
season, and Nicaragua was new country
to him. Having week in which to dis,
charge his vessels cargo aud reload, he
took in the country
Bluefeld, he said, is town of about / 900
people, the greater number of whom are
Americans and negroes There are some
few Indians, but they are rapidly disappear
ing.
The town is built up largely of very
small houses or huts, covered with straw or
banana leaves. Now and then q neat resi-
dence is built by some progressive fruit man
from the United States VINO has settled in
Blueheld. The greater number of the stores
and business houses are neat buildings.
They are principally owned by Americans
and the trade is carried on by them. The
principal industry is the cultivation OF fruit
The little town is situated on a plain a
short distance from Bluefield river, which
runs through the fruit country to the ocean,
irrigating the farms All along the side of
the river the banana plant Is grown. As
far as the eye can see over the fiat table
land there is nothing but the large banana

is ripe now, and the contrast of the
gold or yellow and the green is very pretty.
Back from the river and out of the black
mud soil are the cocoanut, orange and
lemon plantations. The largest of these are
the cocoanut plantations. The fall crop is
late this year, and it will be few days vet
before the shipment of this product will
begin. There Is no winter to amount to
anything in Bluefield, and there are two
seasons for all the varieties of the fruit.
The fall season has just begun. Vessels
| from New York and New Orleans are filling
the Bluefield river, and immense cargoes
are carried away every day.
The negroes are the principal laborers.
The climate is suitable for them. The
farmers are never fearful of damage to
their farms by cold The only damage to
| their farms is from the overflow of the
Bluefield river. A flood had Just receded
IN Bluefield when the Ydun arrived there.
1t was not very disastrous food, however.
| and the farmers did not experience much
| loss. 1t is the rainy season in Central Amer
| lea now. The season sets in during the
early part of September and lasts through
October. When the rains are very heavy
| the loss to the farmer is very great. This
season, however, the rains have been very
moderate, and but little fruit has been
damaged.
Capt. Stoltz said that he was informed
that the fail season for fruit In Bluefield il
better this year than it has been in a con-
| siderable time. The crop will, therefore. be
much larger. The fruit has not been dam.
aged, and the supply will be larger and
better than it has been in years.

TO SHIP STRAW NORTH
Rice Planters TO Utilize Hitherto
Improbable Product.


The rice straw heretofore burned by rice
planters in this section is to be utilized, as
it has been found, after having been sub
mitted to practical test, TO be valuable IN
paper manufacture. II. HcA. Schley has
been in correspondence for some time with
the EitzgibbOns Paper Manufacturing Com
pany in New York with view to having
the mill handle the rice straw Of this sec
ton, and as experiments have proved that
the rice straw is adapted to the manufact-
ure of coarse paper for wrapping, for gro
GERS bags, and even for the finer grades OF
commercial paper, the company has placed
its order with Mr.. Schley for 5000 or 4,OOO
tons of straw
Mr.. Schley has ordered two of the Dietric
power presses for baling rice-straw. each
press having a capacity of ten tOus per
day, and the presses being portable, they
may be removed from one plantation TO
another at pleasure. Mr.. Schley has set up
one Of these presses on William Lathrop's
rice plantation, where the work of baling will
begin tomorrow. Another press has been
set up on Joseph Huger's rice plantation,
and Mr.. Schley has purchased the station
airy press on Alfred Chisolms place. All
three presses will be at work this week
baling the straw for shipment to the Fitz-
gibbons company, satisfactory arrange
ments having been made with the Ocean
Steamship Company for the transportation
Of the straw.
Mr. SchleY said to a MORNING NEWS
reporter yesterday that the rice planta-
tons viii turn out about ton Of rice straw
TO the acre, and in the infancy of the in
dustry planters will realize 81 so per ton
for their straw, which has heretofore been
burned, or, to speak more definitely, the
greater part of which has been burned, as
a small proportion has been reserved for
forage, and some few shipments have been
made to North Georgia for that purpose.
The straw will be put up in bales weigh
ing from 100 to ITO pounds, and Mr.. Schley
expec to begin shipments this week. 1t Is
his intention to utilize the straw from some
six or seven plantations in the Savannah
river valley this year, and IL it should prove
profitable industry, of which there does
not appear 10 be any doubt, it is expected
that the shipments next year will be largely
in excess of last year. The industry this
year promises to pay the planters from
$4,000 to $1,000, and by another year it is
probable that they will find that they can
send the straw north at figures which they
have not given any thought to, because
they considered the rice straw of little
value

THEY WANT A NIGHT MAIL.
The Towns Along the Central Anxiou
For It.

Inc 1OWuS Along the central Anxious
For It.
The towns along the line of the Central
railroad between Savan nah and Macon are
stirred up over pu tting on the night mail
clerks. They are in accord with what the
MORNING NEWS has said about it two weeks
ago. Two travelling men who came into
the city last night said that the movement
has been taken up in most of the towns,
and the people are unit on having a night
clerk put on. The travelling men said that
the people along the road are willing to aid
Savannah and Macon in any way they can
to get the mail service improved.
Interviews with cotton merchants and
other business men, and with Postmaster
Lamar, show that Savannah is greatly in
need of night mail train along the Cen
trail. At present Savannah has but one
local mail day, when four trains are on
the run.
Supt. Terrell of the southern division of
the railway mail service, has promised to do
what he can toward getting the night clerk
put on, provided the people show that they
want the service. He will not feel au.
thoriZed to 60 ahead and put
on the night clerk, however, when
no petition requesting it is made by Sa-
vannah or Macon, or any of the towns
along the line When the business men
here have taken the matter in hand and
forwarded their request to Supt. Terrell
something will be done.
Postmaster Lamar is anxious to have the
night clerks put on. 1t will enable him to
make a distribution of local mail matter.
Instead of having to store it away all day,
he will be- able to send it out twice each
day. Through the Gotten men of Savannah
the night clerk was put on last season, but
the convenience and superior mail facilities
were not appreciated because they were not
known to exist.
When the night clerk has been put on
Savannah people will wonder how they
managed to get along under the old system
of sending out the mail. Something was
said about the postmasters along the line
refusing to get upto receive the night mail,
and this was urged against the night mail
delivery being a success, but the travelling
men said that all the postmasters with
whom they had talked are willing to
receive the night mail. Postmaster Lester
at Millen has shown manifestly that he will
receive night mail. He is alive to the
Importance of securing the night service.

New York won the pennant yesterday in
the league base ball series, Pittsburg defeat
ing the Boston club and the giants winning
another game from the Clevelands.
There was considerable interest mani
tested here, and New York was the favorits
in the pools, but few having the courage to
back the Bean Eaters against the Giants,
although some bets we're taken in the morn
ing where odds of three to one we're offered.
The result Of the two decisive games was
telegraphed by innings as fast as they were
played, and was bulletined by John Suli-
van at ITO Bryan street, crowd facing the
bulletin board until the final result was
known. Very little money changed hands
on the days wagers, but there was quite a
number of bets settled that had been made
earlier in the season, the lead of the Boston
club inducing some to back it against New
York, but after the first two innings in the
two games of yesterday no one was willing
to bet against the New Workers.

Supt. Peck received yesterday from the
supervising architect at Washington the
plans and specifications for all the iron and
timber work for three floors of the new
building The supervising architect also
instructed Supt Peck to advertise for bids
for the work Mr. Peck said that he thought
that the amount Of work will approximate
s25, 900 or $50, 600 He said last night that
he has had no intimation of what decision
the department has reached in regard to
changing the site. but he is doubtful about
the change being made.
The superintendent said that he has re.
ceived nothing from the supervising
architect concerning the site further than
what was published in the MORNING NEWS
short time ago. He has been in consulta--
ton with the supervising architect several
times since the petitions were sent on, but
the matter has not been mentioned in their
correspondence.
Work on the building is going on, and
monday the plans ana specifications will be
gwen out to the contractors to be bid on,
Inc Impression now is that the government
win not accept the sites which have been
suggested.
