THE ClTY'3 DRAINAGE.
The Work Under Way and the Pro-
posed New Works.

The Work Under Way aud the Pro-
posed New Works.
Plans are being drawn in the Office OF the
city engineer for a eject sewer to run
through the Central railroad property. The
sewer is to be 226 feet in length, and viii be
built under the direction of the drainage
committee of council.
The bitches on the Lawton place have
been given thorough cleaning out, and
Davis force is now at work opening the
drains near the Waters road. Johnson S
force Is opening drains and repairing trunks
on Hutchinson's island. The sanitary work
in the city is lleepi G pace with the drain
age work in tie suburbs.
Work IS progressing favorably on the
HabsrshaIn street sewer, and it is expected
that it viii be completed within three
weeks. This has been difficult piece Of
work, with stumps and roots encountered
and deep excavation, and more of the latter
remains to Se done before the Sc yer is
finished.
1t is practically settled that the council
will change Bilbo canal from a sewer to a
drain to carry off storm water and con-
struct closed sewer. TIE CITY engineer
estimates thai the sewer will be Z, $50 feet in
length from lis junction with the Bolton
street sewer to the point of outlet. The
sewer is t. De elipticaiin shape its diameter
3 feet inches wide aY0 ; fee 3 inches deeD.
The fall will be l21 feet, wita nanholes for
every 400 20 800 feet to prevent the rising
tides from driving back noxious vapors
into the houses having sewer connections.
1t is estimated that the excavation, by put
ting on several gangs of hands, NAV be
completed within thirty days, aud the
eatiTe sewer excavation and masonry will
be completed within ninety days.

Insurance Against Storm Damage

Many nea who are scrupulously careful
to insure their proper y against fire utterly
neglect to exercise the same precaution
against storms until the power of the wind
has been demonstrated to their great
pecuniary loss. The disastrous storms OF
1881, 1854 and other years here in our midst
should not be forgotten as we read OF
Thursdays appalling calamity in the west.
Mir. Charles f. Prendergast, 106 Bay street,
whose card appears elsewhere, is ready to
issue storm policies in those well-known
and popular companies, tde Homo of New
York and the Phenix OF Brooklyn, at rates
far below those usually caa gsd for fire in
surance. Delay is dangerous. Insure
against storms. aud do il at once. -Adr.

TRUCK TAKING A START.
It VIII be a Good While, Though, Be-
fore Shipping Begins.

AcA 2 D@AlStS-AA5 * S4-4ls
The views expressed in yes. erday's MORN
ING NEWS that no shipments Of Savannah
I vegetables can be made for the next four
weeks, is borne out by the opinions OF the
truck farmers. F. II. ExIey said yestsr-
/ DAY tGat TO shipments can be made before
MAY !, and d. {. Newton expresses q ike
opinion.
Mr.. Purvis received advices from Florida
Yesterday that the truck il Florida cannot
begin to 20 forward again earlier than the
middle Of April, by which time it is hoped
that the agent there can resume carload
shipments Of Strawberries.
Thursdays advices from New York show
that string beans are very scarce and COM
mand extreme prices, Florida beans, coming
from below the frost line of this month,
selling readily al S6 and So per crate. No
peas are offering, although occasional scat
tering lois come in and command Sc per
crate
Potatoes are bringing fancy prices, Ber-
muda ranging from So to $40 per barrel and
Florida potatoes ST. 1t is predicted that
Savannah potatoes will start off well, but
they VIII not begin to 60 forward until the
letter part of April. The crop has been
affected by the three heavy freezes, and
crops from northern seed are expected to be
light and from native seed fair as to yield
and quality. 1t is too early to predict with
certainty the extent of the influence upon
the yield of potatoes we'll up when the freezes
struck them.
The influence of sun ana showers on veg
citation the last two weeks has been to ad-
vance it rapidly, and with no unfavora de
weather beans, peas, and POTATOES Of the
later paintings will do well.
In the city the trees are putting out leaves.
and the foliage Of the elm and sycamore
trees is well advanced. The foliage of the
umbrella ana China trees still clings,
withered and uusightly. to the limbs of the
trees, and has not yet begun to fall off, and
there is no present sign of new foliage taking
its place. The beautiful cluster Of banana
trees in Orleans square, the massive leaves
OF which were killed, have begun to put out
new leaves, and in a few days this most
tropical looking Of all the squares will be re-
stored to its pristine beauty

and Alderman Harris, chairman Of the
committee having the work in charge. is
pleased with the way it is going on. He
visited the new station this week and gave
orders to Supt. Carmichael to increase the
loFcs and urge tho work forward in order
that The new wharves may be completed at
the very earlieSJ practicable date, so that
when completed t1e force can be put to
work overhauling the present station. The
increased wharf facilities will then leave no
opportunity for complaint that the COM
MERGE Of the city is being retard ID for lack
OF wharf room.
Over 800 piles have been delivered at the
n9w station, aud $50 creosoted piles have
been driven for the main wharf and tha5
portion OF the tramway which will extend
over the water \ large portion OF the
c-eOsoted piles have been sa wed off at thu
proper hight ana caps have been placed on
them. The uncreosoted piles for the laad
tranways are on the ground, and over
$4,000 feet of lumber for the wharYes have
been delivered al the station.
1t Is understood that the opposition to the
disinsecting tug has been dissipated. after
The objects and needs of the tug have be-
come more fully understood, and that the
equipment originally agreed upon will be
provided.
The argument advanced by a writer in O
communication to the MORNING News that
Savannah does not need disiafecting tug
because 1t does not have vessels coming here
with cargoeS such as coffee, etc, is met by
the friends of the proposed measure with
the answer that Savanu ah, wien her new
quarantine station IS put on par with that

The Fashionable Tipple becomes KNOWN

From the Stuttgart Review.
In the years Of ITO and 1871, when every
other house In the Rue de Sevres was a
hospital. n mass vas said daily I'm the
church Of 81. Sulpice. II was the duty OF
q certain nun 20 cleanse and refill the
sacramental vessels, but as she was a
very capable nurse the demands upon her
time from the wounded and dying were 80
great that she was obliged at times to give
but scaut attention 10 her holy duties
about the altar.
One day, Immediately after the celebra-
ton of the mass, the priest who had OIL
ciated was taken III. He at onc sum-
moned the nun and accused her OF having
poisoned the communion wine. The
church officers were advised OF what had
occurred and had the sister arrested.
They took the communion cup which ron
tanned the suspected wine to IA celebrated
chemist and apothecary named Boudet
for analysis: Boudet tested IL and found
pure ,.r% a;bsinthe; ,n Which d fn nanl
her miltifarious duties, had poured
into the chaIice by mistake. Bouaet ex.
perienced in various ways with the liquor
10 try It's effect upon a healthy body. and
convinced himself in this manner OF the
stomachic virtues of the extract. His re-
port freed the imprisoned nun at once and
his was the first opinion ever advanced
that absinthe had become a first or"pledR-
ing drink" as il Is called, on all good
tables. Boudet claimed that IL was the
result of his discovery.
