DRAINING THE BLUFF.
The New Under Drainage system n
Good Thing.

The system of drainage that the city is
putting in around the outskirts will. it is
believed. prove very effectual in carrying
off a great deal of the water that has
either been drained by a poor system or
allowed TO make its way off by the best
means it could find. The work of laying
the piping that is TO carry off the water
has been in progress for some two or three
weeks, and will probably require as much
longer for its completion. On the east
side of the city the work is about finished,
the piping having been laid wherever re-
CURED in the neighborhood of the Tybee
depot and the lamp black factory that is
now operated at the old Lamar mill From
the results, as observed in this section,
there is no doubt that the drainage will
be greatly improved by the new system. A
large force of hands is now engaged in
laying the piping in the western section.
Considerable of the work in this section
has also been done, the neighborhood of
West Boundary, from Huntingto ton to Co.
hen street having been about completed.
There remains a good deal of work yet TO
be finished in this part of the city. Lunl-
Der street is to have a line of piping laid
along 1t, and other streets in Yamacraw
are also to be so drained. 1t is desired
that the work be finished as quickly as
possible, and il is for this reason that
considerable number of men are employed.
The drainage is through pipes varying in
diameter, according TO the length OF the
lines. The smallest are three inches in
diameter, and the largest eight inches.
The great advantage in the method is in
the entire length of the pipe draining the
ground The pinch joints are not ce-
mented together, but are wrapped at the
eXtremities in crocus bagging that readily
allows the water to percolate through. In
this way an opening to the line is secured
at intervals of every twelve inches. The
water is drained into nearby sewers or
into bitches that run from the city's
limits.
Commissioner of Public Works Willink
is very much pleased with the good re-
suits of this work, which are already
evident, as is also Health Officer Lee
Hardy. 1t was at the instance of the
latter that council ordered that this work
be done, and the wisdom of it is already
evident. The work can hardly result 9TH
erwise than in the Improvement of the
health of the sections drained. Portions
of the bluff on River street will also be
drained in the same manner.
In addition to this drainage, the COM
missioner of public works has the laying
of the Bull street sewer. The work on this
sewer is 10 begin in about a week. The
sewer is to extend from Eleventh to An
derson streets. 1t will be connected with
the Sixth street sewer. Twenty-four inches
is to, be the diameter of the sewer. Three
or four weeks will be required to complete
the work

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Judge FaIIiSant Imposed a Heavy
Penalty Upon Two Notorious Bur-

glars.
Upon a plea of guilty Judge Falligant
yesterday sentenced two notorious burg
lars to the penitentiary for fifteen years.
1t appeared to the court that these two
negroes, whose names are Alex Appling
and James Smith, have been going about
the country burglarizing here and there
as if they had chosen it as a profession.
They have been tracked in other cities to
such crimes as that for which they stood
charged with in the courts yesterday, and
although they pleaded guilty Judge Falli-
giant gave them sentence that will cause
them to bear in mind for long time to
come the crimes they have strung out be-
hind them in their ruthless careers. They
will be given hard labor for fifteen years
each.
Appling is the negro who buglarized the
house of Mr.. Robert Ellington, on State
street, several months ago, securing a lot
of valuable jewelry. Several other burg
laries were committed about this time.
The suspicious of the detectives fell upon
Applng. He was arrested and when his
room was searched the plumber taken from
the houses of Mr.. Ellington and others
and afterwards identified by them, was
found. Appling comes of a burglarious
family. His father had a bad record and
died in the penitentiary, and his sister is
now serving a twelve months sentence on
the Chatham county gang for larceny.
Smith who goes up for fifteen years, al
So was captured by Policeman Crosby as
he was leaving the residence of Mr.
George w. Parish. A big bunch of ske,e-
ton keys found upon Smith. did the bust
ness for him, when produced before Judge
Falligant yesterday. There were other
charges against him also.
