THE CURTIS DEAD SAILOR.
Kealth Officer Burners Examinatio
of the Suspected Vessel

Eealth Officer Burners Examination
Of the Suspected Vessel
Health Officer Drummer, after great diff
Guilty aud rough trip on the tug Maggie,
succeeded in getting alongside of the
Swedish bark Curl at quarantine at day
break yesterday.
The health officer made a very searching
examination Of the vessel and # the crew,
and also examined the bJdy Of the dead
sailor, which was very emaciated. In
the investigation it developed that
the sailor had been suffering
for four weeks with chronic diarrhaa,
which the captain said was induced by
heavy dri king at Buenos Ayres. The salt
pork which constituted a pa of the ships
provisions aggravated the disease, particu-
larly as the vessel was ON a long voyage.
Everythi was done for the sailor that
could be done under the circumsta ices, but
the facilities for the treatment of gra-
waited diseases are poor on board of sailing
vessels.
o. the other two sailors who we're said to
be sick, one was found to be slightly sick
from over eating fresh vegetables which
had been sent down TO the yes ,el as soon as
she arrived in Tybee roads, and the OF er
was soldering" TO avoid duty. The cap
tam and his wife and Mr.. " ate were re-
quired TO remain aboard of the vessel until
she can be discharged OF her allast AM
fumlgated NJ Re quarantine station.
The vessel in the meantime win be under
special observation as a matter of precau-
ton. The body of the dead sailor was
buried on the beach Yesterday morning.

ton with Regret.

ZION Win Regret.
A special meeting of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry was held last night at the regi-
mental armory for tue purpose of acting

frmed at regular election ordered by Col.
Mercer
Capt Falligant, after being released from
command of the company, wes unani-
mously elected an honorary member, and

pany was strongly attached to him, and
was slow to acc.pt his resignation Capt
FalligAnt determined some time ago to re-
sign, but wit held ms resignation. He has
been commanding officer Of the Oglethorpes
since 1872, longer period than any cap ain

MADE VICE PRESIDENT.
The Southern Express Company's Gen.
eral Manager Again Honored.

eral Manager Again Honored.
At the meeting Of the stockholders, held
in this city yesterday, Mr.. NJ. j. O'Brien,
heretofore general superintendent Of the
Southern Express Company, was cleo ed
vice president aud general manager Of that
corporation.
Mr.. OBrien has long been prominently
identified with the express blsine in tue
south, and has many friends who will be
gratiied at his well-deservel prom otio !.
His connection with the express service be-
gan in 1858 when he entered the service of
the Adams Express Company at
Memphis, Tenn. Commencing in sub
ordinate capacity, his aptitude secured
early recognition, and at the outbreak of
the war in 1861 he was cashier for the COM
pany at New Orleans, La. Communication
with the north being suspended the Adams
Express Company found it impractioable
TO operate In the south, and the s uthern
Express Company acquired control of its
lines this side of the James river.
After serving the Southern through the
vicissitudes Of the war Mr.. O'Brien at its
close returned to Memphis, but was soon
back again acting in a confidential capacity
for the president of the company, who, APP
preciating his ability, made him superin-
tendent OF portion of its lines. Superior
tact and Judgment in handling matters
coming within his jurisd ction recon-
mended him for further pro notion, and in
1865, ten years after entering its employ, he
became general superinte ndent, with au-
thority over the entire territory Of the com
panY.
Under his able administration the inter
ests conf led to his care have steadily pros
pered, and as vice president aud general
manager Mr.. O'Brien now has charge of the
operations of a thoroughly organized ex-
press system Of some 10000 miles.
A Co slant traveller, making frequent
visits to the several departments OF his
company, Mr.. O'Brien has perhaps wider
acquaintance than any other IN IA in priva g
life in the southern states, and
is as popular as he is well
known. In the prime Of life,
with undated energy and capacity, further
succe will doubtlcSs attend him in the
future, and Mr. O'Brien is to be heartily
congratulated, and the Southern Express
Company as veil, upon his selection for the
office to which he has been elected

WHAT'S 4 DEALRRp
The City Council Referred to Web
5ters "UnabrI gsd."

5ter 8 "UnaDrl g9d.'
The city council had a rather interesting
appeal case before it last night and one
which settles - important question.
Several week ago Walton & Smith were
put upon the information docket of the
police court for carrying on a junk de alers'
business without having paid the city
license OF $3.50. Mr.. Walton was before
the court and claimed that while he
bought junk here it was for the
purpose of shipment and as he did not sell
here he was not compelled TO pay a license
fee. The mayo decided that either a
Ii ense must he taken ouI at o ce, or a fine
of 500 must be paid with an additional PEN
atty OF thirty days IL Jail.
nd was given pending an appeal to
the uncil and the case was hea {; list
night. ?. j. O'Connor, Esq, appeared
for Mr.. Walton, and he cited
Webster's and Woccas1e's dictionaries,
and other authorities for definition of the
word, 'dealer" If Mr.. Walton was a
dealer under the ordinance it was sub
mtted that he was subject to the license
tax. The argu neat, has upon the de-
6nition Of the word dealer" was that the
party mu t sell IN the same place in which
ne buys to c9nsttu him dealer, and ub-
ject TO license under the ordinances. The
ca q was argued for over an hour, and at
the close Of the argument mayors de-
cision was sustained By the council. AS
the bond given is t. abide the final decision
Of the cas- il is likely that it will be taken
to the superior c Jurt.
