$50, but for nearly 600 years afterward the
history Of the place is blank.
In the Twelfth century, however, and in
the reign of David, king of Scotland, the
foundation of the present cathedral was
laid by Bishop Jocelin. 1t is fine old
Gothic structure, bearing marks in its
architecture of various dates of erection.
It's length is $40 feet, while the tower and
spire attain 6 height of 225 feet The choir
of the cathedral is still used as place Of
worship, while its new crypt, fitted with
stained glass windows, is one of the most
remarkable in Europe. All the windows
of the nave, choir and chapels are from the
royal mandatory at Munich.

A Brief Account of the Glasgow Cathe-

IN One of the Largest and Most Inn
portant Cities of Scotland.
Glasgow, the great industrial metropolis
Of Scotland, is, after London, one of the
largest and most important cities of the
kingdom. 1t had its first beginning in the
cathedral, situated on rising ground north
EAST of the city. Here it is believed that

THE WATER QUESTION.
Mr. David Douglas Views Very Gen
orally Indorsed,

Mr. David Douglas Views Very Gen
orally Endorsed.
The interview with Mr.. David Douglas
in yesterdays MORNING NEWS, calling at
tention to the enormous wastage of water
and suggesting a remedy, occasioned gen.
eral comment
Some people who are using the hooper
and pan" closets did not take kindly to the
article, as it pointed TO change OF the
objectionable closet system to that of the
nush tank system, while others
who are using the CLOSETS objected
20 expressed their intention of
voluntarily removing them and put
ting 10 flush closets, not only because
OF the better service which they give, but
Tor sanitary reasons, as they say they are
satisfied that foul gases find their way into
the houses through the open hopper and pan
closets, which are continually getting out
or order and feuling
Among business men generally the views
OF MIR. Douglas are considered practical and
OPPORTUNITY presented to the public, and
the opinion is quite universal that the city
council should avail itself of his practical
suggestions and stop the waste.
Among those who attribute unsanitary
results from the mixing of river water with
the arteslan, the suggestion of Mr.. Douglas
that the use Of river water can be aban-
doned early in July by promptly stopping the
water waste. the interview was approvingly
discussed.
A gentleman, referring TO the water ques-
ton, said that Atlanta water consumers
are not permitted to waste the supply with
out paying for it, and that water meters
are supplied to consumers at a cost of $13
each, which the consumer must pay in ad-
dition to paying water rentals. Consumers
are charged 30 much pc. 900 gallons, a
70 IN ~r@I.-. IL
and all the water used in excess
Of this allowance must be paid
for. There was considerable kicking"
by the consumers because they had to pay
for the meters, but they had it to pay or
have the water shut off, and they had to
yield the point. The plan, however, works
satisfactorily. The consumer had to pay
but once for the meter. and after using it
awhile became satisfied with the plan. 1t
served TO inform him what supply he was
taking, and all are careful not TO exceed the
allowance.
The same plan has been discussed here,
and, fwhile no action has been taken, it
is thought Savannah may have to come to
it, but the wastage must first be stopped,
and then the meter system may also be
adopted.
There is a growing feeling that the water
works should be placed in.charge of board
OF water works trustees, such as have charge
OF water works plants in many
cities owning their own plants. these trus-
tees to be men of practical knowledge of
mechanics, who will give their time and
attention 70 the operation of the plant and
to the regulation of the finances of the de-
partment, as it is claimed that members of
council cannot give that time and attention
to it that its importance demands, owing to
the multifarious duties of councilman,
and the time which their own private bust
ness demands

Two pistol shots fred in quick succession
startled the neighborhood of East Broad

and for time a crowd which gathered
thought some one had been killed. No one
could be found who knew anything of the
shooting, but it was supposed to be fight
among couple of negro men which culmi-
mated in the shooting. Some one was heard
to say stop that Stop thatl" which was
followed Immediately by the re-
port OF a pistol. A man in his
shirt sleeves was seen coming down
President street toward East Broad
looking around, as if watching for some
one, with pistol in his hand, but before
inquiry could be made the man and the pistol
ID appeared in the square on Houston street.
The door of Mrs. V. Ward at President
and Houston streets was rocked about a
half hour before the shooting commenced,
and the parties who did the deed ran off to
escape detection. The electric light in the
square gives but scant light in the neigh
borhood, and the trees in the north side of
the square throw shadow over it, and it
affords safe retreat for evil doors.

A NEW FIELD OPENED,

The Alabama Midland's Through
Schedules Being Made Up.
The officials Of the Savannah. Florida
and Western railroad received telegram
from Montgomery yesterday from Harden
Miller, general freight agent Of the Ala
bama Midland, announcing that the road is
now open from Montgomery to Bainbridge,
and through schedules will be announced in
few days.
1t is claimed that Nth the Alabama Mid
lands connections with the Louisville ana
Nashville the distance from Savannah to
Mobile and New Orleans will be materially
shortened and the distance largely lessened
between Savannah and the west with the
Alabama Midland's connections at Biz
mingham.
Fast freight and passenger trains will
soon be running through schedule between
Savannah and Montgomery. Ala, connect
ing with lines to the west and southwest.
The feature of fast trains will doubtless
make the new line a popular one for the
freight and passenger traffic to and from
the west, northwest and southwest.

ceipts of cotton, lumber and naval store
from along the line of the Alabama Mid
land and the reciprocal trade between
Savannah and that section will bs of meal

ANSWERING THE LIBEL.
The Cambria Claims She Went to
Rescue Drifting Vessel.

The Cambria Claims She Went to
Rescue Drifting Vessel.
Lester & Ravenel, proctors for the re-
spondent towboat company in the libel in
admiralty against the steam tug Cambria,
for damages by the collision of the schooner
Francis s. Yarnell with the Rillie S. Derby,
will file an answer to-day.
The proctors for the defendant towboat
company will claim that the steam
tug Cambria, seeing the schooner
nah river, went to assist her in
passing down, and at the point where the
collision occurred the channel is very uncer-
tain and narrow. and on account of the
strong wind then blowing it was impossible
to keep the Yarnall within the narrow
space that it was necessary for her to go
through. She commenced to drop down the
river before the Cambria reached her, and
had voluntarily placed herself in this
position of peril. and the officers and
crew of tho Cambria did all in
their power to prevent the Yarnell from
fouling the Derby, and after the Yarnell
struck bottom the Cambria's officers and
crew did all in their power In assisting her
in trying to prevent the collision.
The answer will also set up the alleged
fact that the repairs made necessary by the
collision were much less than libellsnts
claim, and that it is not true that the Derby
was detained by reason of the collision
fourteen days at $50 demurrage per day,
and that the owners of the tug
Cambria assisted the Derby imme-
diately after the collision, and aided
her in repairs in the sum of s309 81, which
amount should be credited against any dam
ages which may be recovered against the
said Cambria
The court will be asked to pronounce
against the libel and to condemn the libel
liant in costs.
