A STATE HEALTH BOARD.
a BILL TO BE FRAMED FOR TIE
MKT LEGISLATURE.

DR.. Drummer Believes the Board should
Be Under the Control OF the Physi-
clans OF tie Seaport Cities-The Bill
For the Next Legislature 10 Renee
the Defects Of the Mershon Bill-The
Plans for Modern;zing the Savannah
Quarantine.
In view Of the poor quarantine arrange
meuts at all Georgia ports outside Of Savan-
nah Health Officer Bruuner thinks q state
board of health should be organized. He is
not, however. in favor of the bill on this
subject introduced ia the last session OF the
legislature by Representative Mershon OF
Glynn county, because Dr.. Drummer thinks
the law should be 50 framed as to have the
board under control of the physicians Of
the seaport cities and not have inland city
doctors making regulations concerning
maritime matters.
DR.. Drummer will have bill prepared to
remedy the defects of the Mershon meas
ure, and il will be introduced at the Octo-
Der session by Chathnms representatives.
With the state controlling the health mat
tiers DR.. Drummer hopes to have the back
doors closed against the introduction of con-
taglous aud infectious diseases as we'll as the
front doors. The state will then see that
Brunswick, Darien acd other ports are prop
eriy protected.
DR.. Drummer says he has oil the plans and
specifications for the undermining Of the
Savannah quarantine station, and there
should be no delay now about beginning
the Improvement. When the equipment is
completed Savannah, ia the health officers
opinion. will have even finer station than
New Orleans, which will necessarily make
it the finest on the South Atlantic or Gulf
before Aug. i, and for that reason DR..
Drummer wants to get the work started as
early as possible.
The station is to have a sulphur dioxide
furnace, double steam reverberating fan
to force the atmospheric gas into vessels, a
blchloride tank for the surface dislnfection
with bichloride Of mercJry, and a super
heating chamber for the steam disiufecgiou
of textile fabrics, in which the finest article
can be subjected to 230' moist heat without
sustaining the slightest Jury.
Or. Drummer Is opposed to having the
dloxide furnace made stationary to the
wharf, a in Charleston and New Orleans.
His idea is TO have it on a lighter 80 that 1t
can be successfully operated on any vessel.
The reason for this, which is q good one is
that sometimes large vessels may come to
Savannah which cannot be accommodated
at the wharf, aud in such an event great
difficulty would be experienced with sta
tionary apparatus, while with q lighter
there would not be the slightest trouble.
Dir. Brunner Is also DESTROYS Of having
two superheRtiDg chambers, but whether
tic sanitary board will adopt his views on
these subjects is another question.

LAWREN CE HANL EY HIRE.

The Young Actors Reception on His
Arrival-His Performance Tonight.
Lawrence HGnley and company arrived
from Charleston yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Hanley was met on his arrival in the
city by q delegation of friends, and was
rendered an informal reception, which
amounted to an ovation.
Tonight he will open his engagement at
the theater in THE Player, i" in which he will
be seen in on act from Hamlet Mr. Han
ley is looking well, and was heartily greeted
yesterday and last nj ut by his old friends.
Few actors have attained the prominence
that Lawrence Hanley has attained during
his professional career, which began with
an engagement with Frank Bangs In "The
Silver King" few years ago. His
acting az that time attracted
the attention Of Lawrence Barrett, who
took the young actor under his patronage.
Hanley's connection with the Booth-Bar-
rett combination, during which he played
both Booths and Barrett's parts, gave him q
reputation In the theatrical world which re-
suited in his recent debut as a star under the
most tiattering circumstances. The almost
unprecedented sale Of seats for his opening
performance tonight is an evidence Of his
popularity.
Mr.. Hanley's appearance in Charleston
Friday night was before one of the finest
audiences of the season. The NelUS and
Courier in its notice of the performance
says Few young actors have ever pre-
scented themselves before a Charleston audi
ence with better credentials than those
which have hesn bestowed upon Mr.. Hau-
ley by the press aad public OF the country.
Aad it is hagarding nothing to say that
none has ever redeemed the confidence re-
posed in them more handsomely. Tue pub
lie expects, and rightly so, great things Of
the talented young Georgian. For years he
was associated not only professionally, but
in much more personal friendly relations,
with two OF the greatest personsges of the
profession, and be was not an altogether
incons2icuous figure in the cast of the great
est theatrical continuation OF modern years
when Messrs Booth,dnd Barrett were united
in an effort 20 electrify the theater-going
people of America.
"Introduced by antecedents so honorable,
Hanley would naturally have TO lift bis per-
formanoe very far above the commonplace
to escape sharp criticism and satisfy the ex-
acting anticipatlous with which his appear
ance was awaited. 1t is but fair to say that
he fills in measure heaped up aud running
over the requirements made upon him. He

THE soUTa's CYCLING CITY.
Savannah the Head Center Of tn
snort


Savannah the Head Center OF the
Sport.
The May week meet is the talk among
cyclists now. The races will take place
Wednesday and Friday, as a part of the
May week programme The fact that
Wheeler will return to Savannah for the
meet, fresh from bis northern trip, aud that
johnson, the :56 mile rec Jrd man, will be
here adds interest TO the events
1t IS expected that both the Bairds will
enter and other crack riders from Charles
ton, who were unable to come over for the
April meet
The race by electric light aud the concerts
by Brooks band at the track Wednesday
and Thursday nights this week will afford
an opportunity for those who have not
visited the track to do so under very favor
able circumstances.
Savannah has become in the last two
years the cycling city of the south. More
wheels aad better wheels are ridden here
than in any other southern city, and
greater interest is taken in everything that
pertains to cycling. With the only cement
track in the country thoroughly equipped,
with large and fourishing wheelmeu's
club, with some Of the fastest
riders in the south, and with
public sentiment thoroughly In sympathy
with cycling, Savannah has every reason
TO be regarded as the southern metropolis
of cycledom. In this connection Sporting
Life, which devotes a special edition TO
cycling news, says: To-day the place
where there exists the greatest interest In
cycling is in the south. The only cement
tracks in America are those which have
been constructed by the southerners; every
where clubs are springing up. tracks are
building, race meets are planning and in
every possible way is the country south of
the Mason and Dixon line showing that it
Is ready and ripe for the cycling harvest.
To-day the south is almost virgin soil
Statesmen have of course visited there and
sold a few wheels, but the demand for
machines has been limited, because the
south as section has never taken very en-
Enthusiastically to the sport; but this Is pass
ing away, and within the next twelve
months the south will buy more wheels than
some of the older sections OF the country"
In the future Savannah promises TO be-
come the winter training ground of crack
riders. Zimmerman, Wheeler the Bairds,
johnson and others who have ridden on the
cement track, pronounce 1t the best track in
this country.

ALL QUIET IN FRANKLIN SQUARE
Conference Sunday Failed to Develop
ANY Disturbance at the Church.

Conference Sunday Failed to Develop
Any Disturbance at the Church.
The courts order seems TO have had its
effect, aud everything was quiet at the
First African Baptist church when con-
ference was held yesterday. Some of the
eighteen members who were expelled from
the church for creating dlssension and
strife among its members" as Pastor Love
said yesterday, were on hand at the con-
ference, but they took no part and when in
vited TO withdraw, they left the church
Pastor Love says that the talk about q
riot at his church has been greatly exag-
gerated and that on the contrary every
thing has been peaceful and harmonious
He charges Coffey and others, who we're ex-
pelIed from the CHURCH aud who pehtioued
the superior court for an injunction restrain
ing him from having any more Of the ops
posing members expelled, with having
sworn falsely when they said he was not
pastor OF the church, and also with regard
to the statement Elade by them that he had
the doors of tho church closed and barred
against the minority.
He admits that an effort has been made
to keep those ous who are not members, but
says he has always underworld to keep the
church open to all peaceful members
whether they belong to tho dissenting
party or not. He says he has the highest
regard for the court, that he abiding
will obey its orders TO the letter. Con-
ference Sunday brought forGh no unusual
developments, and it is probable that every
thing will be smooth sailing for some days
at least.

4 representative of the MORNING NEWS
asked one OF them yesterday what this
hegira OF celestials from southern points
meant, but he evidently was not posted on
the movements Of his race, as he was not
aware that there had Teen any new arrivals
of late.
The probability is that the celestials are
coming Ia in order TO take advantage Of the
exclusion ACT which goes into effect on Nav
s. After tnAs time according to its proyi.
Rions they would tie shut out entirely.
Strange to say, however, very few OF tue
celestlais hers are endeevoring 10 comply
with any provisions OF the act, and few Of
them seem to know anything about it. No
Photographs have been deposited and no
PAPERS taken out. The impression prevails
that the law III many respects is a decd let
Ser and that few OF its provisions will be
carried into effect.

CITY BREVITIH5.

Tom Mccullough. q noted negro thief
who robbed Kohlers clothing store few
weeks ago, was arrested Saturday night by
Detective Bossell.
The Ancient Order Of Hibernians will
hold an important meeting tonight. Mat
tiers OF vital import to the order will be con-
sidered aud the attendance of every member
is desired.
AT all the masses in the Catholic churches
yesterday the priests spoke about the poor
attendance at the fair last week and urged
the congregations to attend this week and
make the event q success. The result will
no doubt be q largely increased attendance
and patronage for the next six nights.
The city has discontinued the dumping Of
the sweepings and refuse matter from the
asphalt pRvements 10 the squares. The
danger TO the public health from this prac-
tice, to which the city's attention was called
by TIE Citizens Sanitary Association, was

Aldermen Went to Cut OF Some of
the Fees Of the City Court.
The board of aldermen are aroused about
the steadily increasing expenses of the city
court, aud intend to mako an effort to econ
omize in this tribunal. Aldermen Dixon
and Wells are the leaders in the movement,
and their first point of attack will be the
sheriff's Office, in so far Gs it relates to
criminal matters
Under the present system the sheriff gets
81 - for every prisoner brought from the
jail 20 the court fer trial, and in case the
trial is postponed the same fee is allowed
for each time he or she is escorted from the
Gagged hotel to the temple Of justice. Alder
man Dixon does not think this is exactly
right He wants these prisoners taken from
the jail to the court by policemen instead
of baililfs, and the fee saved TO the city. but
he cannot realize his wish IN this direction
except by legislative amendment to the oct
creating the city court. Aldermen Dixon
aud Wells say they will ask for such al
amendment from the next session OF the
legislature.

Alderman Dixon, lis wrong and unjust to
the constables of the lower court. A con-

to arrest a culprit without getting a cent
of remuneration, and yet when the time for
the trial of that culprit arrives, O city court
bailiff goes to the jail handouts him, takes
hum TO the court house, and gets 81 %, and
the city fools the till. If any body Is enti-
tied to fee in these cases, as a matter OF
justice the constable should get it.

such matters, and there is no good reason
why the work now performed by these
bailiffs could not be performed by few
policemen on Saturdays without any extra
expense When the legislature meets will

a SAFEGUARD IN STORMS.
a New Device to Prevent a Surplus of
Electricity on an slsctric Line.

a New Device to Prevent a Surplus of
Electricity on an electric Line.
A new invention to protect cars from
surplus electricity during thunder storms
is being introduced in the western cities,
and, in view of the severe thunder storms
which this section experiences in summer
it would be good thing for the electric
roads of Savannah to supply their cars with
the Improvement.
The safeguard iS placed upon the motors,
and consists of a small air-tight box.
Through the sides of this box are Two semi
circular arms, which do not quite come to-
gether at the bottom, aud at the space be-
tween them Is point OF carbon. They
are connected on either side with the regu-
lar current wire. When the trolley wire
becomes overcharged with storm cleo
tricity this electricity avoids the coil of the
motor and passes around through this box.
Whom the carbon point is reached a spark
follows and the air in the box becomes in
tensely heated. So quickly does the air ex-
paud that the two semi-circular swinging
arms are blown out from the box with q
loud report, Instantly the current is
broken in this tox and passes again through
the motor. The TWO arms fall into the box
and are ready for another shock.
An electric car is the safest place in the
world in Ru electrical storm, for sbe wire
makes q continuous connection in the
ground. But should high current pass
through the coil of the motor it would burn
il out and do hundreds of dollars worth OF
damage. The space between the two little
arms in the box makes such resistance that
the ordinary current of 500 volts cannot
pass it, but q more powerful current OF
| thousands OF volts, which takes the wire ia
a storm, would avoid the coils of the motor
and enter the box and jump across the
space, escaping on wire to the ground but
breaking the connection by its own action.
