TO CUT OFF THE CASING.

That Is What Will Probably Be Done
With the Artesian Wells.
1t is thought that the water committee of
council, in view of the fact that Consulting
Engineer Johnston has said that it will re-
quire two years to put in new plant, will
recommend to the city council at its regular
meeting next Wednesday, temporary relief
by the construction of cistern, or reser-
voir, at the water works, to be supplied by
q conduit at depth sufficient to allow the
wells to flow into it after cutting off five to
eight feet of the casing.
AS the pumps are now taking 90 per
cent. of the present supply and per cent.
of an increased flow will follow for every
foot the casing is shortened, four feet will
increase the present supply of artesian
water 20 per cent. To insure sufficient
supply beyoud peradventure 1t is quite
likely that the committee will recommend
the cuttingof of six feet of casing at each
well, increasing the supply 80 per cent, all
that the present main can accommodate,
and thus furnish the city nothing but pure
artesian water pumped direct from the
reservoir.
The conduit will of course be constructed
with view to its extension to the proposed
site of the new plant ON the Springfield
plantation, which latter, it is believed, the
water committee will recommend 10 council
in accordance with the suggestions EN-
braced in MIR. Johnston's report published in
the MORNING NEWS of last Saturday.

SUNDAY AT TEE RESORTS.
The Tybee Season Formally opened
The Spider" at Thunderbolt.

The Tybee Season Formally opened
The "Spider" at Thunderbolt.
The Tybee season was formally opened
yesterday by the Inauguration of the sum-
mer schedule on the Savannah and Atlantic
railway. Six trains were run to the island
with as many return trains. Not a great
many people went down in the forenoon,
but the afternoon trains were filled The
new cars were put on ard they are great
addition to the company's equipments.
The day was delightful one
at the beach. At the hotels everything
was business in preparation for the rush
this week and on TYbee day-Thursday.
The railway schedule is a convenient one
and well suited for both residents and visit
ors to the island.
Prof. Oldrieve "the water spider" en-
tertained e large crowd at Thunderbolt
yesterday by walking across the river on
the water. He will perform the same feat
at Tybee Thursday. Crowds of people
went out to Tnunderbolt to see what they
considered q miracle, but when 1.-THE
spider" got into his boots and began to step
out on the water like a cat picking
its way through wet grass, they
thought the feat was simple enough.
The spider wore big shoes with paddles
underneath them, and as he moved his legs
the paddles would operate, and made the
glide across very smooth. Every few feet,
as he walked along, the spider
its loud explosion caused good
deal of merriment on the beach. Prof.
Oidrieve will repeat the feat at Tvbee, and
instead of walking on a smooth river, will
walk in the breakers. This will be O fea-
ture of Tybee's amusements.

HEIR TO MANY MILLIONS.
A SAVANNAH LAWYER TO INHERIT
ONE-FIFTE OF s117,ooo,ooo.

W. z. Morrison the Sole Representa-
tive and Heir of One of the Lega-
tees OF the Great Mckay Estate in
England-The Good Fortune of Hav-
ing Been Born Under Lucky Noon.
Mr.. Morrison's Plans.
The MORNING NEWS of day before yester-
day reproduced from the New York Sun an
interesting story of Wilson r. Boyd's pro-
posed trip next month TO England to scoop
in SIT ,OoO.O 900 in cold cash and 500, 1000, 900
of productive property left to the heirs OF
William Mckay, ard it appears thata young
Savannah lawyer will come in for one
fifth interest in the many-million bonanza.
The fortunate legatee is w. Z. Morrison.
lineal descendant Of Mckay. Mr.. Nor
rison says that Hon. Rufus Z. Lester he's
been looking after his interest for the past
ten or twelve years, Mr.. Boyd having been
prosecuting his claim for that length of
time in an effort to keep the estate out Of
chencery up to the present time, when it
appears that it Is now about to come into
the possession OF the heirs.
LISEAL DESCENT ESTABLISHED.
During this time Mr.. Boyd has spent
about 81, 900 annually, having sent his at
confer and cooperate with his attorney
there. Mr.. Morrison and his mother have
been in close communication with Mr..
Boyd aud have furnished him genealogical
and other data TO aid in establishing beyond
question the lineal descent Of the claimants
70 the McKays
MIR. Morrison says that all the children of
William Mckay the elder, died without
issue, except Mr. Morrison's great grand
fathpr William MnKaU w N
America and settled in Marysville, Md. He
had five children. Hugh, Mary. Margaret.
Elizabeth, and a son who became a Catho-
lie clergyman and located in the west,
either Illinois or Michigan.
ONE OF THE FIVE HEIRS.
Margaret Mckay married William Nor
rison, aud to them was born two daughters,
who died without issue, and one son, DR..
Donald Hugh Morrison, who practiced
medicine in Savannah in the sixties. DIR.
Morrison married Mary E. Long, daughter
OF William Long, banker and afterwards
bookkeeper. DR.. Morrison, who died in 1869,
left but one child, William L. Morrison, the
attorney at law, and the sole representative
and heir of Margaret Mckay, who was one
of the five heirs to the Mckay estate.
Mr.. Morrison says that by arrangement
one-half of his and his mothers interest in
the money which has accrued to the estate
will 60 TO Mr.. Boyd for prosecuting the
claim, but as the fund is said to be Sl7,000-
600 the Morrison share would, after paying
the liberal amount to Boyd, net the hand
some sum of s1,700,000, and there would
still remain the more princely one-fifth in
terest in the realty of the Mckay estate in
Glasgow and Edinburgh, which is estimated
at 500, 100000
Very little doubt exists in Mr.. Morrison's
mind shat the rightful heirs will soon come
into the possession of their estate, and he
has already planned an extensive tour of
Europe, the continent and the orient.

81. MAhY's ORPHAN HOME.
Annual Meeting of the Female Orphan
Benevolent Society.


The 18th annual meeting Of the Female Or
phan Benevolent Society was held yesterday.
President Henry Blum submitted his annual
report showing the condition of the st.
Mary's Orphan Home, which is under the
society's charge.
President Blum says: 1.-THE orphanage
building needs repairs requiring an outlay
of about $500. This amount cannot be
taken from investments. Our income from
membership and cash donations are also in
sufficient to meet the needs of the institu-
ton. Under these circumstances l appeal
to the members Of the society to do all in
their power to increase our membership and
thus to enable the officers to contract for
such repairs az are most urgent.
II need but ask the members and the
friends to visit st. Mary's home and see for
themselves the health of the children.
There is no reason why it should be other
wise than good, the situation of the grounds,
the drainage of same, the thorough sanitary
condition OF every part of the premises are
having the desired effect.
THE education of the children is progress
ing in the most satisfactory manner. The
school has thorough attention; the intelli-
gence of many Of the children is remark
able, the discipline Is perfect, and we are
able to look to the future of our charges
with confidence, nor is their training in
household duties neglected; sewing, en-
broidering and music are accomplishments
common to all; oking, scrubbing and
washing form parts OF an education that
fit them for such station in life as they may
be called upon to FILL We eau thus con-
graduate ourselves on having an institution
in our midst which must reflect credit upon
every contributor to its maintenance.
THE advisory board and officers and
lady collectors have cheerfully performed
all the duties incumbent upon them"
The treasurer, Col. Peter Reilly, submit
ted his report, showing the condition of the
society's finances. The receipts during the
year were 81, $50 Is. The expenditures
were 81, 432 4S, leaving a balance of.$17 70,
with an outstanding Indebtedness of $3.50.
The old board of officers was reelected as
follows:

George Wilson's Ministries will open the

of the most popular Ministries on the stage,
and he is as popular in Savannah as he is
everywhere else. He brings with him on
his present trip one of the best companies
that he has ever had, and presents one of
the most unique minstrel entertainments.
New York critic says of the company:
"The organization Wilson has with him
this season is second to very few, if any, in
the country. The singers are of the best,
the comedians of higher class than usually
seen in minstrel shows, and the instru-
mentalists excellent. A programme COM
bining everything from southern melodies
to the latest and most difficult music is
charmingly rendered"
