was proceeding by stage to Sidney

The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscript, maps or pictures may be
transmitted, is species Of the auto
matte method in which the receiver is
actuated spontaneously with its trans
mitter. By Lenoir's method picture
or map is outlined with insulating ink
upon the cylindrical surface of a rota-
ting drum, which revolves under a
point having slow movement along
the axis Of the cylinder, and thus the
conducting point goes over the cylin-
drical surface in . spiral path. The
electrical circuit will be broken by
every ink mark on the cylinder which
is in tffis path, and thereby CORE
spending marks are made in spiral
line by an ink marker upon q drum
at the receiving end. To produce these
outlines it il only necessary that the
two drums be rotated in unison. This
system is Of little utility, there being
no apparent demand for fac-simile
Transmission, particularly at % great
an expense Of speed, for il will be seen
that instead Of making q character Of
the alphabet BY . very few separate
pulses, a. is done BY Morse, the mum.
Der must be greatly increased. Many
dots. become necessary to show the
outlines Of the more complex char
acters.
The pantelegraph is an interesting
type Of the fac-simile method. In this
form the movements Of a pen in the
writer's hand produce corresponding
movements Of q pen at the distant sta
ton, and thereby fac-simile record.

Mayor Schwarz was asked yesterday why
he disappointed the executive council Of the
Citizens Sanitary Association Tuesday
night, the council having invited him to adj
dress it on sanitary matters, and to explain
the delay Of the board OF aldermen in house
drainage matters.
! In reply Mayor Schwarz stated that he
| did not receive the official notice in
time TO comply with the invita-
ton, and in consequence kept an
engagement to attend meeting
elsewhere. He said, however, that he was
prepared to meet the council of the Citi-
zens' Sanitary Assoc alton, and had nothing
to conceal. He added that the present
board has had its hands full, and that he
has been giving all his time to the city's
affairs and is earnestly cooperating with
the board ia every instance where the in
terests Of the city demand attention.
He says that review Of the work thus
far accomplished ought to satisfy reasona-
BILE people that the present board is not
idliug any time. IL has investigated pa
tiently and searchingly a plan for the
disposition OF garbage, and has contracted
for a crematOrv to dispose of the unsani-
tary re use matter which has heretofore
been dumped Just outside Of the city for

poison-breeding debris from the market,
and the garbage boxes of street and lane

turn the facilities for the prompt discharge
Of ballast will have been completed, and
delays long complained of, and which have
driven seekers from the harbor, will no
longer ope ate to the disadvantage of the
city's commerce. This work will receive a
closer supervision by the mayor after the
naval commissioners, now the guests of the
city, have completed their Investigations
here.
The streets and lanes, the mayor says,
have been given a general cleaning up. I'M
sanitary pl ces drained, others needing at
tention will receive it, the market put In

extending a hearty cooperation with the
Citizens Sanitary Association in putting
the city in a condition which will contribute

UNFOUNDED RUMORS.

Gen. Alexander Denies ANY Contem-
plated Changes in the Central
Gen. E P. Alexander, president of the
Central railroad, was asked yesterday on
his return from the north If there was any
thing significant with references to pushing
any new enterprises by the Central people.
and he replied that his visit was only one
of his usual business trips that are made
from time to- time, and that there is nothing
new to note in the Central railroads affairs
Gen. Alexander was asked what there is
in the published reports of probab le
changes in the management Of the Cen
tra's affairs, and especia ly Of the Atlanta
rumor, which stated That there was likely
to be change in the general manager Of the
road
Gen. Alexander was very positive in de-
nying the truth of the rumors. He said
There is not a word of truth in the
rumors."
"Can the MORNING NEWS say so on your
authorityp
Eyes, you may say so, on my author
ity, that there is no foundation in fact for
the reports given to the press about such a
change
When asked what had been d one at the
meeting of the board of directors yesterday,
Gen. Alexander said it was purely one of
routine work, and no new matters were
presented to it which would be of public
interest.
