TO COLONIzE WILMINGTON.

The Oemler Company Preparing to
Settle the Island With White People.
The Oemler Oyster Company is making
arrangements to colonize Wilmington
Island with settlers from the interior so as
to have plentiful supply of labor convent
entity at hand. The company has been
cramped for labor since beginning its oper-
ations
The minimum number Of hands needed is
not less than 100 and nearly twice as
largest number of laborers the
company has been able to obtain
at one time is sixty. The idea was suggested
some time ago OF bringing down a colony
of white people from the interior and set
ting them on Wilmington Island near the
factory. DR.. Oemler has been in corre-
spondenee with people in the interior and
has secured several white families from
Wilkinson county, which have agreed to
settle on the island, and he expects them to
arrive about Jan. l. The company will
furnish them with houses, and each family
will be given plat Of land to cultivate.
IL Is proposed to let the men cultivate the
land and raise vegetables and truck for the
factory and for the Savannah market,
while the women and the older boys and
girls will be given work shocking and pack
ing oysters The company will be able to
give ell the women and children steady en-
ployment for six months in the year. A
good-sized boy can earn as much as a man
shocking oysters, and can do the work
equally as well, while packing the oysters
and labelling the cans Is well suited to the
girls.
DIR. Oemler's plan Is to settle the whole
island with just such people. the soil IL
fertile and produces potatoes and other
vegetables in large quantities. A good
part of the island is held by members Of the
company and there will be no difficulty in
obtaining all the land needed
A regular village will be established ant
the company proposes. il iii car
get the people, to build them
church and school house. By populatine
| the island they make provision for the ex
pected large increase in the oyster canning
| business Of the company.

Believing that the above covers the inquiries
made by the Honorable the mayor and alder
men Of Savannah, in the resolution referred TO,
and trusting that the same is satisfactory in all
respects, have the honor. sir. to remain
WILLIAM GARRARD.
for Middle Georgia and Atlantic Railway Com
psny and The seaboard Company.
ALDERMAN cANN's REPLY.
Alderman Cam said be didn't consider
the letter an answer TO the resolution by
any means He had asked direct questions,
and the answer was not in accordance with
what should be expected. He said he is
satisfied that the Middle Georgia and At
lantic railroad has not complied with the
intended terms Of the contract, although
it might haven technically done so.
TAe alderman didn't believe the projectors
could show that they have laid a particle of
road in Georgia since getting the grant.
The contract, he said, Is one which should
be jealously guarded by the city and the
road compelled TO comply with It's pro-
visions. As an alderman and individual,
Alderman Cam said be didn't believe the
contract had been compiled with in q bona
hde manner, as was intended. "If the
council, however, wants to accept the letter
as an answer to the resolution, the RESPONSE
bility will be placed where it belongs,n said
Alderman Cam.
Considerable talk followed Alderman
Cams remark about the appointment OF
an investigating committee, but Alderman
O'Brien offered a motion, which was
adopted. that the letter be received as in.
formation, and Mayor McDonough be
granted further time to get a reply from the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic projectors Ia
accordance with the terms OF Alderman
Cams resolution.
ANOTHER CITY PHYSICIAN.
The health aud cemetery committee
offered an ordinance, which was unanf-
mously passed, providing for another city
physician. An election for the office will
be held at the next meeting.
The finance committee offered a resolu-
ton, which was agreed to unanimously.
requesting the chairmen Of the various de-
partments to keep the expenses within the
budget appropriations for next year unless
specially authorized otherwise by council.
A resolution was also passed authorizing
the clerk Of council TO advertise for the
election of the city printer at the next meet
Ing.
Policeman T. B. Masters petitioned ooun-
Gil for extra compensation for the eleven
months he acted as sergeant. The petition
was referred to the finance committee.
Mr.. l.. T. Turner was unanimously
elected a commissioner Of pilotege.
The petitions for the revoking Of the push
cert fruit dealers licenses and the one in
opposition were received merely as infoFma-
tion. The probability is that an ordinance
will be framed to prevent the push cart men
from standing in front Of fruit stores or
stands.
The tax ordinance for next year was
adopted. It fixes the rate at ~ per cent.
the same as this year. There are but few
changes In it from the one now In force,
the most important of which is the increase
of the tax on fortune tellers from S25 per
annum to $500. This is done for the pur-
pose of running fortune tellers out Of bust
ness here. and no doubt will have the de-
sired effect.

River and Drowned

Dropped From a Staging Into the
River and Drowned.
John Charles, sailor belonging TO the
crew Of the British bark Privateer, fell of a
staging yesterday afternoon and was
drowned. The bark arrived up in the
morning from quarantine and was moored
at Gordon's wharf, where a small
staging was rugged out for
ward tie vessel and between
her and the wharf. Upon this Charles was
standing passing wood from the wharf to
the vessel, the action of which caused a
swaying of the staging. and in swinging
the sailor lost his balance and fell backward,
his head striking the cap log of the wharf
He then fell into the river between the
wharf and the bark. He did not
rise 60 the surface of the

pie on the wharf the opinion Is entertained

native Of England and was between As and
90 years of age.
