Gaw and Order.

At the citizens meeting on last Satur-
day the following preamble and ,esolu-
lions were adopted, which explain
fnllyLbe o1gsSpct of The Law and Order
Associations Of this parish:
"NWhereas, owing to the fact that in
this and neighboring parishes, there
existsaa spirittof lawlessness, and a
disposition ufpn the part of certain ILL
advised persons to openly defy the
laws of the State and its law officers in
the performance of their duties; and
whereas, under such a condition OF
things we deem it our duty to uphold
the law, and to assist In Its execution
and enforcement To that end We tue
undersigned do hereby form ourselves
into Lac and Order association" to
assist the officers Of the law IN the en-
forcement and execution OF the same,
and do hereby proifer them cur per-
sonal services to do SO, Whenever re.
auired, and whenever they may call
upon us for assistance"
Surely there is nothing herein con-
fained which any. good citizen may not
heartily endorse and subscribe to, And
yet, strange to say, it seems that some
feW--a very few, we must hope dis
conntenanca the movement. We can
not help thinking that this conclusion
was reached without mature deiibera-
ton and that a sobe; second thought
will demonstrate their error As fol

The Firemen Have Run Into Yama-
craw.

The Firemen Have Run Into Yama-
craw.
1t was a little boy that caused the fire
engines to race down Broughton street and
tear along Bryan street to the corner of
Ann last night about o'clock
Little Arthur Judkins, son of John Jud-
kins, was sent up stairs to put some coal in
tn stove. He did so, but he filed it full to
o erhowing, and while the family was
down stairs eating supper the
fire began to choke and the
smoke poured thro gh the open door.
The windows were closed and the smoke
found its way down stairs into the dining
room in great volumes.
The family began to stihe and there was
a stampede for the doors yelling ''fire.
Somebody found FOX, and into the central
station flashed the alarm. Chief Puder, who
lives block from where the fire was sup
posed to be, was just getting out
of his buggy when the alarm
struck, and within thirty seconds
he was at the scene of excitement.
After finding that there was no fire he
drove to meet the steamers and turn them
back. The family of Mr.. Judkins was con-
siderablv frightened and moved most of
their household effects out of the house.
The whole of Yamacraw was frightened.
Fires don't set well' with Yamacraw,n is
the way a fireman put 1t.

The Fire Cisterns,

Chief Fireman Puder has only one more
of the old fire cisterns to pump out. That is
in Chippewa square. He has pumped eleven
of the old cisterns dry. Some of them coz
tanned nine feet of water. All except two
were in squares and only one of them had
no water in it. 1t took, on an average,
about one hour to pump each of them out
The Greene square cistern had over nine
feet of water in it. and Oglethorpe square
cistern was dry. Very few of the cisterns
are shaped alike. Some of them are round,
some square and some octagonal The
water III the cisterns was very clear. Chief
Puder will finish the last cistern to-day
then he will clean out and disinfect each
one of them. They will then be filed with
artesian water and cemented over. They
will be used in case of fire when any Of the
mains are broken.

A BIG DRY GOODS HOUSE.
The Old Firm of Gray & O'Brien and
the New Firm of Gray & Son.

The Old Firm of Gray & O'Brien and
the New Firm of Gray & Son.
The firm of Gray & O'Brien passed out of
existence yesterday, and the new firm of
Christopher Gray q Son sprang into a bril-
liant existence The old firm was one Of
the first firms of Savannah, and had a repu-
tation tnat few houses can hope to attain
The senior member, Mr.. Christopher Gray,
came to Savannah in October, lS4O, from
Ireland. He established a small bust eSs
in Augusta and one here. His first place of
business was on Congress street near where
tue Savannah Stea n Laundry
now is. From there he moved to Broughton
street and tor long time his was the only
dry goods house on that street.
Mr. Gray was Is years of age when he
went into business on his own hook, and by
hard work, and an economical disposition
of his gains he began to grow in business,
and in less than ten year. the store was one
of the handSomest on BroughtJn street, and
the firm one of the wealthiest in the city.
For forty years Mr.. Gray has done
business in the state, having dur
ing that time conducted success
fully, branch houses in Colum Jus
and Augusta. In the latter city he owns a
large dry goods house, which is run by j.
NJ. Gray. one of his sons. The other son,
C. P. Gray, will conduct the buSi ess here.
Mr.. Christopher Gray, after building up
the business here and in Augusta, moved to
New York, where he has lived ever since,
making occasional trips to this city.
A MORNING NEWS reporter interviewed
him last night about his success and what
he will offer the public in the future. 1T
has been always one price with me.
l know nobody when it comes to cutting
and discriminating. As for our past bust
ness, it is a monument which stands for
itself The past record of the house is a
guarantee fer it's future"
"Will you remain in Savannah
"Oh, no. will live in New York. Ny
son will conduct the business here. He has
been brought up in the business. l am
satisfied that what he does will be right |
will remain north and ship goods to my
houses in the south from time to time as the
stock may need replenishing. Our plan
will be to place the goods down in reach of
every body The stock will be increased at
once My son went north tonight to pur-
chase several thousand dollars worth of
goods, 5000 or $4,000 of which will be
shipped out by the next steamer"
Tie new firm starts under the most favor
ables auspices, and when managed by tilan-
ciers like Mr.. Christopher Gray, the future
is bound to be one of success.

A DEATH TRAP DUG UP.
Another Argument Discovered ii
Favor of New Sewerage system.

Another Argument Discovered in
Favor of New Sewerage system.
While excavating yesterday morning at
the intersection Of Whitaker street and
South Broad street lane to mako a sewer
connec ion from DR.. Falligant's house. Mr.
L. A. Mccarthy dug into pool of water
about 3 feet below the surface. Ga exam
ination the water was found to be contain
mated with sewage matter and was found
exuding from pipe leading from some one
of the houses between South Broad and
Hull streets west of Whitaker. The dis
covery was al once rep ported to Health
Officer Drummer by DR.. Falligant, a d the
health officer gave orders Immediately to
have the pipe examined and traced to the
lot from which it came, as it was apparent
that the outf IVY from the house was checked
up. A partial examination was made and
the pipe was sealed up.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw DIR. Fall
ligant in relation to the matter. 81 am not
at all surDri ed at the discovery" the doctor
said. "On the contrary it is plain that
numerous similar conditions exist in the
botchwork system Of house drainage to
which we are now compelled to submit, be
cause of the failure of the previ us city
council to provide a radical rem dy for
these abomi atoms Fortu ately for the
sity of going away down the lane to
Whitaker street at a great expense to my
self which would not have been occasioned
If a proper cent al lane sewer had been put
down behind my lot so that the
connection could have been made there, led
to the detecti of this great danger to the
family Of one of my negubors. | am COM
PEELED to pay out perhaps $40 more to make
a similar poor connection than | would nave
honr rad 70 FATn "a 10 nuyD-
was where it ought to be, and yet what can
l do9 | have no remedy under existing
conditions. Plumbers are expected to do
good work, and they are as powerlesS as the
house owner The whole state of house
drainage in this city is radically wrong and
needs uproo ting root and branch"
"What DO YOU think he present council
will do about the matter"
Il think that when the members of the
council become more familiar with the all
pervading necessity of reformation they
will uni e heartily with me in remedyiug
the whole system. When they see, as they
must necessarily see very soon, that per-
feet, wel-laid system of central lane drains,
thoroughly flushed is not only thousand
times safer and healthier, as well as
immensely more economical to the indi-
vidual lot owner than the pre- emit
irregular, disjointed and dangerous
methods of sewer connections,
their own good sense and anxiety to have
efficient and thorough sanitary work &C
co plished will override all present hest
fancy on the score of possible expense to
any one individual The welfare of the
community embodies the welfare of each
individual composing it; and that safety
and economy thrown around the individual
house owner when considered in the aggre-
gate constitutes the economy and safety of
