TO HOIST BALLAST BY STEAM.
An Engine TO be Located at the Quar-
antine Station.

An Engine TO be Located at the Quar-
antine Station.
There is to be an innovation at the Long
Island quarantine station, pan being on
foot to put an engine there to facilitate the
rapid unloading Of ballast, so that com
MERGE Will not be impeded as it has been in
the past.
A MORNING NEWS reporter who had
learned that the health and cemetery com
commltte and the finance committee Of
council would recommend bet or facilities
at quarantine, ran across Alderman Fall
CANT Yesterday and asked him if the report
is well founded,
In reply DR.. FalIigant said it is the under
standing that some steps will be taken to
obviate the delays which have in the past,
been SO embarrassing to shipping, and
while it is not the intention Of the present
council to relax any sanitary vigilance IN
the matter of fumigatIng vessels from
doubtful ports, it is desirable that the vessels
may be no longer detained than is absolutely
essential
The quarantine at Long Island, where
vessels now unload ballast, DR.. Falligant
says is not provided with such facilities for
unloading ballast as the importance of this
port demands, it requiring from one to two
weeks to discharge a vessels ballast, while
other vessels must lay to and wait their
turn. This it is proposed to obviate by
putting up an engine midway between two
of the wharves, so that mechanical power
can be applied to unloading two vessels at
ore and the same time.
The third wharf can be used by vessels
where the demand is not pressing to dis
charge ballast.
DR. Falligaut states that with an engine
such as is contemplated, a vessel can dis
charge her ballast in from twenty-four to
forty -eght hours, and he states that the
cost of an engine is estimated at from $500
to 81 900, and that one of the board of al
dermen informs him that he knows where a
suitable engine may be secured without de-
lay.
Then you think the plan will be
adopted!n DR.. Falligant was asked
II think 80. The health committee and
the finance committee will unite in recon
mending it at the next meeting of council
and ask for an appropriation therefor"
How do you propose to regulate the
chargesp the doctor was asked.
II think it will be the policy of the coun-
Gil not to expect to make money ON the
added quarantine facilities, but to unload
ballast at a reasonable price per ton which
will cover the expense incurred by the city.
1t will not be the policy of the city council
to place any embargoes upon shipping, but
rather to make it point to lessen the bur
dens so that it will encourage vessels to
load here and get rid of the omrlaint
which has been so often made that vessels
are unnecessarily delayed at quarantine
and at great expense to masters"

police court Thursday. Mr.. John d.
Cappelmann appeared before the recorder
for Mr.. Luden and made r. statement Of
the cause that led to the misunderstanding.
Finally the court, with the acquie- ceace
of both parties, continued the case in the
hope that the matter might he arranged TO
the satisfaction Of Doth parties.
The work on tho new cathedral is pro
crossing rapidly. The walls have already

The light house board has recommended
the erection of beacon lights along the waite +
courses and sounds of the inland route be-
tween this city and Fernandina. An APP
preparation is asked for in the general bill,
and the question will be considered in a few
days by congress. Steamboat mon and
others interested III the navigation Of the
inland route, are very anxious to have
flights along the Shore
In this connection it would be
well to reopen the question Of
improving the navigation Of
Romney marsh. by opening Understands
cut The necessity for the Improvement Of
inland navigation as one Of the means Of
coast defense as well as for the benefit Of
commerce, is now attracting considerable
attention, and as the Habersham cut inn
provement was surveyed and reported
on by the engineer department number of
years ago it is very probable that II tuose
who are interested in the trade along the
coast between this city and Feruandina
would make an effort an appropriation
could be secured to do the work at Haber-
shRm's cut.
The government has appropriated a con-
siderable amount for the Improvement Of
other water courses on the route, and with
the cut opened there would to but few
obstacles remaining TO interfere with its
safe navigation.

EMMA ABBOTT AS NORMA"
A Brilliant Performance OF Bellinrs
Grand Opera.

The presentation Of Norma" last night
was in every way worthy Of Emma Abbott
and her company In Norma" Miss Alb
bolt shows to the very best advantage.
She never looked better, or sang more ar
tistically than she did last night. The
leading role is peculiarly well suited to her
voice and style, for mingled with the TRACE
dy in "Norma's" life there is an
exquisite vein Of pathos, love and tender
ness, qualities which Miss Abbot is always
happy in delineating and in which she is
always successful in touching tho hearts of
the audience. She looked like Norma as
Miss Annandale looked like "Adalgisa" and
throughout the performance the illusioa
was never broken.
In her rendering Of the role of Adalgisa
Miss Annandale made a decided hit.
The part Of polio" requires a tenor
with a robust and vibrant voice, and
Montegriffo's impersonation was particu-
larly good and called forth a great deal OF
applause from the audience.
Broderick was excellent as "Oreveso."
He is a most capable actor and admirable
singer and his vocal utterances last night
were full Of fire and authority as became
the character.
Miss Bertini was "Clotilde" and Mr..
Torpi "Flavia."
No performance is complete without
ballad sung by Miss Abbott, and at the
close OF the second act the fair diva was
called before the curtain repeatedly, and at
length she sang the melting melody which
Scotchmen especially love to hear, "Auld
Lang Syne." 1t was rendered by Miss Abbott
with great charm Of expression and feeling.
Gifted as she is charming, she charmed the
entire audience with this charming song.
Nothing adds more to the ease of the
singer or the sweetness of the song than
subdued yet steady accompaniment, and
the orchestra would have added much more
to the success and pleasure of last nights
performance had it kept this fact in mind.
The staging and costuming Of the opera
was good. The audience was larger in num-
was not vacant seat in the lower part of
the theater, and both galleries were flied.
