MR.. BLANDFoRD's PLAN.
The Project for Making the Ogeechee
Canal Drainage Canal.

The Project for Making the Ogeechee
Canal a Drainage Canal
Referring to the interview with Gen. E.
P. Alexander relative to the Ogeechee canal
IS improbable for drainage purposes,
County Engineer r. A. Blandford says that
the canal can be used both rs drain and
as a navigable waterway, and by the plan
he proposes it viii be made better for
navigable purposes, and at the same time
will be great factor in the drainage of the
county.
Engineer Blandford's plan, in brief, is to
lower the level OF the locks ald deepen the
canal some five feet. not an expensive work
he thinks lie says thai tue canal has been
allowed to fill in and as the bottom raised
the banks have been raised to maintain a
channel depth.
Mr.. Blandford's idea is that the canal
from the eight-mile lock to Savannah can
be used for navigable purposes and the rest
can be abandoned for navigable purposes.
By the plan he suggests the canal woI aid
drain a portion of Raspberry swamp and
its arms. the Dundee swamp proper and
some of the arms of the Pipemaker swamp.
The culvert capacity of tue canal Mr..
Blandford says, is insufficient. At Harden's
swamp the culvert capacity is only twenty
four square feet, whereas it should be three
or four times greater. BY making the GU
verts Of the proper capacity and deepening
the canal as suggested, Mr. Bradford says,
a large portion of lands in the county would
be reclaimed and the tributary drainage
would also have the effect of draining some
lands in Edingham county.
The proposed conference between Gen.
Alexander aud Commissioner Read and
Engineer Blandford is not off becau of
the views expressed by Gen. Alexander
The latter said that in the absence OF any
detailed knowledge OF the county's pro-
posed plans, he was not prepared to express
an opinion except in general way, and
Mr.. Biandford says that ne is not hopeless
of toe results of the conference, as Gan.
Alexander is himself civil engineer, I'd
he believes he can present the pans and do :
tails in such a way as to recommend them
TO favorable consideration by the Central,
which controls the major portion Of the
canal company's stock.
A map or chart of the territory which
would DO favorably affected by making
the Ogeechee canal an auxiliary il tbs
drainage Of the county is ing prepared in
Mr.. Blandford's office, aud will be COM
pleted in a few days.

a JOKE ON AN ALDERMAN.
Limburger Cheese as an Incentive to
Active Sanitation.

~@1L4DGI OIlSSS9 SbS an TO
Active Sanitation.
A story too good to be lost was picked up
yesterday by MORNING NEWS reporter.
Alderman Cam, at a recent meeting of
council, introduced resolution looking to
the improving of the sanitary condition of
the Bilbo canal by the construction of a
closed sewer along its banks for the recep-
ton of the house.drainage of the city.
wag, said to be relative of Alderman
Falllgant, took 1t into his head to help
Alderman Cams efforts by a novel under
taking. Obtaining some tsrrifica1y odorous
Llmburger cheese, he went to the Office
of an alderman in the eastern part of the
city, whilst the clerical force was at dinner,
aud rubbed pens, pencils, rulers, desks,
Office coats, etc, with tue cheese. When
the boss and his clerks came in alter dinner
they detected a penetrating odor permeat-
ing everything. Each one, in turn, as he
entered the Office, turned up his nose. TO
each 1T was suggested that it must be
'the Bilbo canal" Finally the alderman
came in and put on his Office coat. His
olfactorY nerves were shocked. "What is
that awful smeiI?n he asked. "The Bilbo
canalp said one.
1t is said that the alderman hurried up
town to the mayors office and insisted upon
an immediate meeting of council on bust
ness OF greatimportance in connection with
the Bilbo canal
The mayor, impressed with the necessity
of immediate ac1ion, called the committee
of the whole together the same afternoon.
Not member of the council had been let
into the secret, and when Alderman Cams
resolution was brought up Cor discussion
Alderman Falligant observed that some OF
his brother aldermen were taking decidedly
more interest in drainage than he had ever
known them 10 take before, and ne awaited
himself of the anxiety deeicted in several
countenances and pressed Alderman Cann's
efforts for all they were worth. The reso-
luton was adopted unanimously.
Alderman Falligant insists that lie was
totally unconscious of the real cause of the
universal interest displayed in his depart
ment by his brother alderman

brother # the deceased. For several years
prior TO accepting the charge at Louisville
Rev. $. f. BgrnWell was rector Of the EDis-
copal church at Marietta, Ga. The Louis

account of the death OF Rev. DR.. Barnwell
aad his s,n Dudley:
s. johns Episcopal church, adjoining a
double house, was shattered throughout,
a1d nothing but a mass OF bricks and splint-

his child Dudley. lie was with his family
reading waea the death crash ended his
useful life, and from his position when
found must have been killed instantly.
His head was horribly crushed, his chest
cavel in ard his whole body bruised
aud mangled almost beyond recognition.
His beautiful boy, who was evidently sit
ting at his fathers knee, was killed by a
terrible fracture Of the skull, and was also
torn and mangled. 1t was some tina before
any one dared venture outside unless they

Barnwell, as everybody loved to call him,
was in the ruins OF mis- house, ladders we're

the scene, and dozens of men were sool
working on the wreck in the effort to release
him. Mrs. Barnwell aud two OF her children
were taken out alive, but more or less hurt.
they were removed to a house near by, and
Mrs. Barnwell was So Frustrated by the
awful calamity that the physicians who saw
her gave emphatic instructions that nothing
of the death of her child and husband must
be said to her, rs it meant her death. She
was placed under the influence of power

easily, but still unconscious Of the
awful reality. Those working on Rev
Barnwell's residence laoored with every pos
