THE LOCAL STAGE.

Two Of Augustin Daly's comedies will be
presented at the theater tonight and to-mor-
row night. NANCY & Co. will be played to-
night and at to-morrow'S matinee, and
''7-20-8" tomorrow night. The Constitution
says of the Rehan company which recently
played in Atlanta: "If there is anything
more enjoyable than one Of Augustin Days
comedies as produced by Arthur Rehan's
comedy company, it hasn't yet been seen in
Atlanta. For comedy, such as is appro-
priately described by the word delicious,
tnere is nothing equal to those plays which
first see the light of day-in America, at
least-through the medium Of Daly's theater.
There is a peculiar charm about all of them,
charm which is found in nothing else. 1t
is not often that we in the south have
chance to see a Daily production,
and it is probably due to
this fact that the universal excellence OF
these comedies is not m re generally known.
Nancy q Co. to say the least, is one of
the very best of the Daily successes. No
funuier comedy has been written. 1t
aoounds in the most ludicrous situations,
the text is full of bright things, and the
play, as a whole m ives along with dash
that adds to the effect The company pre-
senting it deserves, as the tag liues say, a
great part of the credit. Ii contains some
exceedingly clever people. There is no star
there is no place for one in any of the
Daily comedies. but all the people are very
good.n
The sale of seats for the night perform
ance is now in progress The sale for the
matinee will begin tomorrow morning.

HOW TO PROTECT AUGUSTA.
Lieut.. Carter's Report to the Chief of
Engiueers.


Lieut.. Carter, engineer in charge of the
Savannah river improvements, forwarded
his report to the chief of engineers yester-
day, on the methods proposed for the pro-
lection Of the city of Augusta from over
flows. The report is a very carefully pre-
pared one, and gives the reasons for and
against each of the plans and the apOroxi-
mate estimated cost OF each.
1t is estimated that the plans suggested,
except two, will cost anywhere from SC, 000,-
600 to $50, 000,0 900 each. One of the ex-
ceptions is that which calls for levees and
the other is that which depends upon reser-
voirs.
The engineer feels certain that Augusta
can be protected by levees at a cost Of
about 81 500, 900. The entire city, however,
will have to be inclosed by the lev, es. The
engineer favors the reservoir plan, although
he makes no recommendation. He has not
been able to collect all the data he would
like with reference to this plan, but from
that which be has he feels assured that it
can be made successful at no greater cost
than the levees, and it Is far more desirable
because it will not only protect Augusta,
but also the planters of the Savannah river
valley. In view Of the fact that the damage
to the planters inflicted by overflows is
about as great, if not greater, than that to
Augusta, it would seem that if there is
any plan by which the planters can be pro-
tected, as we'll as the city, it ought to be
very carefully considered. OF coarse the
plan Of projecting Augusta by means of
levees would not benefit the planters in the
least

SANITARY MATTERS.
The Cattle Marts in the City Declared
Dangerous to Public r ealth.

Dangerous to Public health.
The regular weekly meeting of the COM
mittee on public health of the Citizens San
itary Association of Savannah was held
yesterday afternoon, with DR.. J. C. Le-
Hardy, chairman, and Drs Hummel and
Num- present.
Inspector Desvergers submitted his regu-
lar weekly reports of market inspections of
food, produce, etc, and several special
reports, which were appropriately referred.
He also reported that the lands to the east
and west of the city which he had reported
IN an unianitary condition sometime ago
remained in the same condition, nothing
whatever having been done in the way OF
drainage to them.
Dr. LeHardy stated that he had himself,
several days ago walked over the lands in
the immediate vicinity of the city, and
that he had found the bitches DISTRACTED,
grounds soggy and the lands in very I'M
sanitary condition to the southeast Of the
city, and that the bitches OF the Lawton
and Lamar lands were obsructed and the
latter in a very unsanitary condition; that
one place in particular on the Lawton lands,
just to the east Of the city, looked as if it
had never been drained; that it had
relasped into the condition of morass, so
Doggy that cattle, which had ventured into
it after water weeds, had been unable to
extricate themselves from the bog and had
died there and their carcasses were yet in
it, and that he dreaded the consequences to
the people Of Savannah which would result
from the neglect to have these lands drained
and placed in a sanitary condition before
hot weather.
The following resolution was passed:
RESOLVED, That it is the opinion of the com
mittee on public health of the Citizens Sanitary
Association of Savannah that cattle marts
located within the city limits are dangerous to
public health and safety.
Mr. w. f. Morse, general agent Of the
Engle garbage cremator, appeared before
the COMMITTEES with cuts and models of the
cremator and the vessel used as pals of the
commode system in connection with the
cremator, and explained at length tne
