SAVED From TIE WAVES
Gallant Rescue of Two Ladies' from
Drowning In Tybee's Surf


Drowning In Tybee's Surf
Two lives we're nearly lost at Tybee yes
terday. Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Reitze, Mrs.
J. G. Finnie, sister Of the latter. and Miss
Haldeman went down TO the beach for the
day and stopped at the Ocean house. Mrs
Finnie and Miss Haldeman went in bathing
to give a little child the benefit OF a
salt water bath.
The ladies did not venture far out, but in
some way lost their footing and were car
ried out by the receding waves. They were
not seen for some time and until they had
drifted well out into the breakers. when
their cries attracted attention. Neither
could swim, but Miss Finnie had the pres
ence of mind to throw herself on her back
and thus kept afioat. the younger lady
keeping up by holding on to her, though
she afterward floated away.
MIR. James Lane launched a boat on the
beach and bravely went to the rescue, and
by extraordinary exertions succeeded in
reaching and rescuing Mrs. Finnie. Messrs.
Charles A. and James T. Fleming mean
while entered the surf and went to the
rescue of Miss Haldeman. Twice they re-
turned exhausted, but the third time rope
was secured and with that in hand they
swan out to the drowning girl and brought
ner to shore.
The ladies were in the surf twenty-five
minutes before they were rescued, and it is
a wonder that they were saved. They were
unconscious when taken up on the beach
and at one time it was thought that Miss
Haldeman's life was extinct. She recovered
consciou sness, however, after several hours
DR.. Carl N. Brandt, who is a guest at the
Hotel Tybee, was summoned and rendered
prompt medical attention. By his advice
the ladies were kept at the Ocean House
last night. Their escape from death was
truly remarkable, and is due to Miss Finnie's
presence of mind in her great danger and
the heroic efforts of Mr.. Lane and the two
Messrs. Fleming, who risked their lives in
the dangerous surf.
Life RATS, well equipped boats and floats,
and life lines should be kept ready at every
bathing place on the beach for use in the
event Of such accidents, which are liable to
occur at any hour. The town authorities
at Tybee should prohibit bathing where
such safeguards are not provided. The
beach is a magnificent place to battle, but
the waves at Tybee, as elsewhere, are
treacherous, and their force is underesti-
mated by many who enter the surf.

A REMEDY FOR sEAsIcKNEss.
Taliaferro's Hills Furnish It in Album
dant Quantities.

4bAlhierEO5 hlllS FURNISH IL III Apuu-
dant Quantities.
There is a spring in Taliaferro county, in
this state, which furnishes water which it
is said will cure nausea In almost every in
stance. The spring is located on the oppo-
site side of the mountain from the cele-
brated Hillman cove, where people go to
get rid Of the rheumatism. The water is
being used in this city by some of the ply
sicians with, it is said, gratifying results
The owners of the spring have an idea
that it will cure seasickness. They have
had it tried on the steamships of the
Boston line of the New England Steamship
Company, and are satisfied with the test.
They have tried it also on the New York
line of the Ocean Steamship Company. On
the last trip of the Kansas City the water
was administered to those who were seasick
by DR.. Greene, who represented the owners
of the spring. The Kansas City reached
Savannah yesterday, and the doctor said he
was gratified with the result of his expert
ments. There were ten passengers seasick
on the trip to New York and three on the
return trip. The water cured them all
One of those cured was Hon. William Cliff
ton. He is a regular 1and-lubber, but since
the discovery Of this specific it is probable
that he will become regular old salt.
II remedy has been found for seasick-
ness there are blessings as well as dollars
awaiting the finders

THE ROAD MUST COME HERE.
The Macon and Atlantic Can't go Any
where Elise. Especially to 6apelo.

The Macon and Atlantic Can't go Any
where blse. Especially to Sapelo.
A gentleman who has block Of the
Macon and Savannah Construction Com
pany's stock, said yesterday that there is
no question about the Macon and Atlantic
railroad being built to Savannah.
There is no money in building a railroad
TO Sapelo or any other point than Savan-
nah, and the railroad is bound to come. AS
to terminal facilities, there will
getting them. The Ocean Steamship Com
pany win be just as glad to take freight
from rival of the Central railroad as it is
from the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway. To refuse to handle its business
would simply encourage the establishment
OF another line of steamships.
The gentleman said that he knew nothing
definite about Mr.. Sparks plans, but
he knew that the men who had
put their money into the construction COM
pany expected Mr.. Sparks to make it pay
them handsomely, and to do 80 it is neces-
sary that the road come to Savannah, where
there are business men, business facilities
and business to handle. A railroad can
build up little town, but 1t can't make
commercial city, and the men at the head
of the Macon and Atlantic railroad are
smart enough to know it.
While in New York last week Maj. A. L.
Hartridge's observations and information
led him to the conclusion that the Macon
and Atlantic road will come to Savannah if
terminal facilities can be obtained at
reasonable figure. He says there is no doubt
that the company can command all the
money necessary to build the road, but the
company wants its own water frontage
terminal property, and If it can be secured
the road will come to Savannah.

pointed United States gauger for Savan-
nah, succeeding Capt. A. A. VIM, who
held the position under Thos. G. Crenshaw,
Jr., Capt. Winn having held over his time
for several weeks. Capt. Winn conducted
the office quite satisfactorily TO the trade

shaw often complimented him, whose re-
ports he considered models for others.
1t is said that Mr. Williams appointment
Is only a temporary one, and that he will
be succeeded next week by "Prof." s. B.
Morse of this city, who was messenger at

windward shortly after the defeat of Cleve-
land, and in the scramble for Crenshaws

TWAS A CASE OF AaUE.

DR.. Drummer Investigating the Re-
ported Fever on the Three listers
H ealth Officer Drummer received a tele-
gram yesterday from William M. Potts,
Jr.. of Philadelphia, consignee of the
schooner Three Sisters, stating that the
sailor taken from the vessel TO the German
hospital has the ague.
DIR. Drummer is determined to trace, If
possible, the origin of the kilograms sent
out 90 the afternoon papers on Thursday
that physician said It looked like case OF
yellow fever. With that object In view
he has directed inquiries to Philadel-
phia, and also TO Surgeon General
Hamilton. DR.. Brunner says he does not
believe any hospital physician would have
made such a statement. and IL one did make
the remark it is enough to cause him the
loss Of his position.
Referring to the comparative sanitary
condition of Savannah and Philadelphia,
DIR. Drummer says that Philadelphia is the
last place where such report should have
originated. On his recent visit north DR..
Drummer says he was particular TO
note the sanitary condition of the
cities visited, and Philadelphia was the
dirtiest of all. and by comparison with this
city its streets and wharves are not near SO
clean, while Savannah's quarantine is much
more efficient. DIR. Drummer says that no
vessel other than a coastwise one escapes
the thorough inspection of the quarantine
officer, whereas his information is that the
quarantine officials of Philadelphia ana
New York go alongside of vessels coming
into harbor, and ask:
Gap, how is everythingT and the reply
is: "Alrs right whereupou the quarantine
official says: "Send down the money" and
the inspection fee is lowered in bucket,
the official transfers 1t to his pocket and the
boatmen pull off.
In Savannah four inspectors look after
the sanitary condition Of the city, and
when they find unsanitary premises they
compel the occupants to put them in good
condition, and remain to see that it is done.
The number Of garbage carts have been
increased, and under the supervision OF
Supt. e. E. Cheatham of the scavenger de-
partment the work of garbage removal is
closely attended to. The vault cleaning
department has been reorganized and
is doing more effective work than
ever before. In short, DIR. Drummer
says that DR.. Harris, chairman of the
health and cemetery committee, is using
more endeavor to keep the city in a good
sanitary condition than ever was known
before, and the mayor is determined to ceal
severely with those who violate the ordi-
nances in an improper disposition Of their
garbage.
The market is to be thoroughly cleaned
from basement to ceiling and kept clean.
The city proposes to set the example Of
having ALL its public buildings in the best
sanitary condition and will insist that the
citizens shall follow its example.

sociation, called on General Passenger Agent

union by the Central railroad and its
branches can 60 one way for cents per
mile and return at l cent per mile, which is
equivalent to a deduction of one-third from

FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM.
W. G. Ebbs' Body Discovered in a
house Where He Died Alone.


House Where He Died Alone.
William @. Ebbs was found dead in his
room at Randolph and South Broad streets
between IL and o'clock yesterday. Ebbs
owned pasture On the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, and was pretty well
known about town. He had been drinking
for the past week or more, and Thursday
morning when last seen he was in a crazy
fit.
The colored boy who attended 10 the
pasture for Ebbs was afraid TO 90 near him,
and was instructed by his brother TO take
care of the place and keep away from Ebbs
until he got sober, lest he should hurt him.
The boy saw Ebbs in his crazy condition in
the yard about 10 o'clock Thursday morn
ing, aud not seeing him any more thought
be had gone down town. Ebbs' brother
went TO the place yesterday morning
and the boy informed him that his brother
had not been seen since the day before, and,
in great anxiety, he started out to look for
him. Taking the boy in buggy he visited
the barracks, the jail and other places
around town where he thought there was
likelihood of finding him, but without sue
cess.
The colored woman who cooked for Ebbs
and lived on the place noticed a very bad
smell coming from the house a little after
IL o'clock. On going to Ebbs' room she
was Mortified TO discover him lying 10
heap in a corner dead She gave the alarm
and the mans friends were sent for. Inves-
tigation showed that Ebbs had died where
he lay, probably shortly after he was last
seen. His body was in badly decomposed
condition.
Coroner Dixon was called in and made an
investigation, which developed nothing fur

Ebbs lived alone In the house where he

noon.

Applications for It's Lease Pouring in
from All Directions.
Acting President Lee Roy Myers of the
Savannah Hotel Company says there is no
end to the applications for the De Soto, and
the applicants include some of the best hotel
men in the country. Mr.. Myers has pile
of letters a foot in hight, and by the time
President Conner returns from New York
he will have as many more
The closing of the De Soto during the
summer has doubtless kept many people
from coming to Savannah. There is a gen.
eral desire to patronize the hotel, and with
the large influx of visitors TO Tybee and the
concentration of passengers here from all
parts of the south waiting for steamships,
the patronage would be large and lucrative
1t is doubtful if the owners of the De Soto
will consent to any future lease that does
not guarantee that the hotel shall be kept
open all the year.
