GEN. ALEXANDER AT HOME.
He Thinks the Prospects Bright for
the Fall Traffic.


the Fall Traffic
Gen. e. P. Alexander, president of the
Central railroad, returned from New York
yesterday morning after an absence Of sew
eral days in that city and other northern
points. A MORNING NEWS reporter called
upon Gen. Alexander last night to inquire
what truth there is in some rumors atloat
concerning the Central and its management
Gen. Alexander was asked If there Is any
truth in the published reports in the Column
bus papers that the Central has about con-
cluded a deal for the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus and will operate it In con-
nection with the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama railroad, of which Gen,
Alexander has been recently appointed
receiver.
In reply Gen. Alexander said there is no
foundation whatever for the report. The
Central, he saws, has not purchased the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus, nor has
it taken any steps looking to that end. He
says that his recent appointment as re-
ceiver of the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama has no bearing upon the purchase
of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus.
The Central has been the real owner of the
Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama ever
since it was built, aud he and his predeces-
sors, Mr.. Wadley and Capt. Raoul, were
road held almost all of its stock and
bonds. Gen. Alexander's appointment as
receiver, be says, is only another step in the
foreclosure of the Central's mortgage upon
the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama
road, which proceeding had been begun
about three years ago. The Central will
buy the road in, paying for it in the bonds
now held by the Central, and make it a
part Of the system in name as well as in
fact.
The rumor of Mr.. Gabhett's resignation
was referred to by the reporter, and Gen.
Alexander said he had not heard of the
rumor, and he added that it is not true, and
he cannot imagine any foundation for it.
Mr.. Gabbett having arranged to give up
the house which he now occupies, intend
ing TO board at the De Soto, Gen. Alex
ander says that perhaps some one with a
fertile mind had heard of it and conceived
the idea that Mr. Gabbett meant to give up
his position with the Central and leave
Savannah.
Referring to the stringent money market,
Gen. Alexander says that money was GER
tainly very hard to get in New York Just
now. Thepurchase of $50, 000, 900 of bonds by
the government within the last few days. he
says, has given some relief, and the purchase
of 500, 000, 900 more, as proposed by the
government, will give still further relief.
He says money will still remain tight for
some time, though.
Gen. Alexander talked very eucour-
agingly of the bright business prospects for
this fall, and said in speaking of the road:
1.-The Centrars prospects for this fall are
very brilliant indeed" He concluded the
interview by saying that there is no new
move of importance on foot just now in
which the Central system is interested.

THE QUARANTINE STATIONS.
The Engine and Tug Expected Next
Month

The Engine and Tug Expected Next
Month.
The new quarantine station will soon be
ready for operation, SO Mayor Schwarz in
forms a MORNING NEWS reporter. He says
that the quarantine officers house will be
ready for occupation within ten days. The
new engine for the station will not be here
until about Oct. 1, but the station is supplied
by a small engine giving steam power for one
wharf. The other new wharf can be used
by hand until the new engine arrives.
The wharves at the old station are under
going repairs, which are nearly completed,
and two of the wharves at the old statl on
will be operated by steam, and one wharf
will be set apart for ships that want to dis
charge their own ballast. With the i'm
provements to the old station, which is but
a short distance from the new one, the old
wharves will be equally as good as the new
ones, and the TWO stations will more than
double the capacity of last year for dis
charging ballast, as the facilities of last
year were nearly double those of the
previous year. Work on the disinfecting
boat is progressing favorably. aud it is ex-
pected that it will be finished by the middle
of next month and be here about the latter
part Of October. The health and sanitary
committee of council and the health officer
have been pushing the quarantine improve
ments with as much vigor as possible, and
when they are finished it will give Savan-
nah as good quarantine facilities as those of
any port in the south.

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE.

The Morning News Trade Review.
Never in the business history of Savannah
has there been greater necessity for the
coming trade review OF the MORNING NEWS
illustrating Savannah and her enterprises
than at present.
Savannah is the great seaport city of the
state. 1t is the gateway to the sea. The
products of vast territory empty them
selves here. Here are the headquarters of
the vast Central railroad system, per-
meating every nook and corner of Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina. Here is the
terminus of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, bringing all Florida and
Southern Georgia to our very doors, and
now extending itself to the heart of Ala
bama, drawing tribute for the city from
that prosperous state.
Savannah has now a new outlet TO the
timber lands and cotton fields lying along
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
and Savannah and Western roads. Along
all these roads are cities and towns and
villages. The trade of these should be Sc
cured for this city. Train their merchants
TO trade with Savannah. Advertise our
city and ourselves, and let them know what
Savannah merchants can do.
The Trade Review, going everywhere,
finding every village, seeking every bust
ness man, at once introduces the city and
her business men. 1t aids the drummer on
bis rounds. 1t tells our new acquaintance
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are. Such trade issue is
directory, guide.
This is an age OF reading. People look In
the newspapers to find what they want
Cannot our business men, arising to the
hight Of Savannah's bright future, aid in
making this trade review great mirror,
rejecting to the business world our beautiful
city in all her gloryG
This is Savannah's golden opportunity to
turn the tide of travel and trade to her own
doors, and thus secure the advantages which
nature and the sagacity of business men
have given her.
Every merchant in Savannah should be
represented in the columns of this issue.
The cost is small; the returns great. Full
information will be furnished on applica-
ton to the BUSINESS OFFICE, telephone 1854.

SANITARY MATTERS.
Inspector Desvergers Recommends
Flushing Bilbo Canal


Flushing Bilbo Canal
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens
Sanitary Association reports in reference
to the quality of food produce in the Sa-
vannah market for last week as follows:
Dressed beef and dressed mutton averaged
good quality, despite the fact that but
limited quantity OF western cold storage
meat was on the market during the week
the fine quality of dressed meat from home
pastures carrying the average up. Dressed
and live poultry, picked beef, picked pigs
feet, picked tripe and smoked sausages also
averaged good, as also crabs, prawn and
clans Dressed pork, corned beef. fresh
tripe, fresh sausages and meat buildings
averaged inferior. Also fish, dried Vegeta-
bles and green fruit. Green vegetables
averaged fair.
The inspector reports that the low lands
east of the city. comprising the Law ton
and Lamar lands, are now in a very good
condition, the drains on them all having
recently been efficiently cleaned out, except
as 10 those on the grounds occupied by Mr.
Luke Carson and by the City and Suburban
railway, which are almost completely
choked with vegetation and other accumu-
lations, despite the fact that under the dry
culture regulations and contracts the keep
ing Of these drains open and the lands in a
sanitary condition could be enforced.
The Inspector reports that the Perry lane
canal needs sheet piling ON both sides to the
extent Of 100 feet, commencing at the
mouth of the Perry lane sewer, in order. to
obviate the continual caving Of the light
earth at that point on the canal. Super
visor Davis of the dry culture department
has, during the last week, been flushing
Perry lane canal very effectually by closing
the trunk gate to it at high tides and re-
tanning the water in it until that in the
Bilbo canal had fallen sufficiently to
give impetus to the outflow from
the Perry lane sewer into it
upon lifting the trunk gate, and the in
spector suggests In this connection that it
would lie expedient for the city authorities
TO add to the duty Of its trunk-miBder the
keeping up of this flushing of Perry lane
canal, and also to consider the practicable
ity Of flushing the Bilbo canal in the same
manner, inasmuch as he noticed during the
flushing thai the sweep of the water car
ried sedimentary deposits very rapidly out
of the canal

THE WATER WE DRINK.
Increased Flow of the Well on Spring
field Plantation.

The drilling is progressing favorably on
the two new wells at the water works, so
Mayor Schwarz informs the MORNING
NEWS, and he says the water committee
of council is doing all in its power
to hurry the work. One of the
wells has been drilled to depth Of over 300
feet and the other nearly 800 feet. 1t is
hoped and expected that the wells will he
completed and connections made during
the present month, after which work will
begin on the proposed new plant. Four or
five wells will be put down on the Spring
field plantation.
Mayor Schwarz says that there is a very
small proportion of river water now being
furnished consumers, as shooting the two
wells recently has materially increased the
flow of artesian water, and this increase is
noticeable.
A remarkable incident connected with the
shooting of the wells is that it has
largely increased the flow of the
big well on the Springfield plantation,
which very shortly thereafter overfowed
the pipe to depth of over fourteen inches,
and it was necessary to put on another sec
ton Of pipe to stop the flow of the we'll The
committee on water had previously piped
the well above the point of natural over
flow to shut Off the water and prevent vast
age. and after the two wells at the water
works had been shot the big well on the
Springfield plantation rose rapidly, over
flowing its bounds, which made it necessary
to put on the additional section of pipe as
above mentioned.

Mr.. Calhoun says in his letter that "the

sequence of that service, decrepit and worn
down from disease and wounds, have a
right to be cared for in their declining

HINEsvILLE, GA, Aug. S0--Editor
Morning Ne,vs: In your issue of Aug. 20 l
see an article from one R. E. Walker, who
takes great pains to make the impression
upon the public that took no part in the
capture and delivery Of Stephen Jacobs.
The article to which he alAdes was penned
by MORNING NEWS reporter, who acct
dentally got the statement a little mixed
between Steve Jacobs and Alonzo Evans,
the Bulloch county murderer. l deem it
unnecessary to reply at length to Mr..
Walkers insinuations, and l would not at
tempt to make "catspaw" of the noble
"Jesup boys" who accompanied me on that
occasion, as peace and good will exists be-
tween t1em and myself. Jacobs did sur
render to <. l.. Fishback, whom l had APP
pointed to handle my posse in my absence.
As to the delivery of the prisoner to the
North Carolina authorities, l have only to
say that have their receipt for him, not
withstanding Mr.. Walkers statement to
the contrary.

The Behrine Sea Question

TAMPA, FLA, Aug. 30.-Editor Morninq
NetCs: There is another view of the Behring
sea question which does not seem to occur
with any force to the American public 1t
is certain that if British are not permitted
to take seals within 100 miles from land
anywhere in this sea. Americans also must
abandon the same right; for, as 1 under
stand 1t, the American government has
granted a monopoly to take seals within the
Behring sea to the Alaska Commercial
Company, in whose interest, and contrary
to the interest of the American sealer AS
well as the British, this contention with
Britain is made. Truly monopoly governs
the country. F. j. LAPENT HERE.

The claim of the Netos and Courier that
Charleston will draw cotton from Savau-
nah this season on account of the low
freight rates is the subject of ridcule
among Savannah cotton men. On the con.
trary, it is confidently predicted that the
receipts at Brunswick will exceed those of
Charleston this season. The comparative
receipts Of last week show whers the cotton
is going The figures are: Savannah IL, 10l,
Charleston 2, 217.
Savannah has lower insurance and better
facilities for loading ships, and it is said
that whatever difference there may be in
freight rates, it is more than Offset in the
loading of vessels. hghterage Of cargoes,
etc. 1t is hardly likely that any cotton will
go to Charleston on account of freight rates,
for Savannah ship brokers, if necessity
arises, can furnish as much room and at as
cheap rate as Charleston.
