CHAPMAN AND FARFUHAR.
The Two Engineers Lssksd ct the Sewerage
System Yesterday.

The Two EnginssrS Lssksd ct the Sewerage
System Yesterday.
All the great engineering firm of
Waring, Chapman and Farqu har, ex-
cspt Colonel Waring himself, was in
Brunswick yesterday, Mr.. Chapman
and Mr., Farquhar arrived yesterday
morning and left last night.
The gentlemen made a thorough IN
spection of the entire system Of sewer
age and drainage which Colonel War
ing planned and the construction of
which Engineer Farquhar supervised.
After the inspection Engineer Far
quhar said: "The only trouble with
the system that we can detect is that
it works too well. This 10 particularly
true of the surface drainage. The soil
here is so porous that, when thsre is
good, hard rain, the town is drained
very qulckly-so quickly, in fact that
there is suoh q rush to the well as to
cause an overflow. We find no other
trouble with the system whatever"
Msssrs. Chapman and Farquhar
have been In Savannah for several
days, attending to their new contract
there. Mr.. Farquhsr will return di-
rectly to New York, but Mr.. Chapman
will stop in Savannah.

New Orleans, Nov. 5.-The commu-
nifty was somewhat shocked this morn
ing over the announcement of deaths
from yellow fever by 10 o'clock.
Though the number of deaths is
large it has not created any excite
ment, as it is generally conceded that
it is the fever's "dying flicker" as one
member of the board Of health puts it.
Two new cases were reported up to the
same hour. Business today is booming.
The raising of the quarantine in all
places where frost has occurred has
caused orders to pour In on the mer-
chants, and all is actively now in the
mercantile districts.
At IL 40 a. m. the fever record re-
ported by the board of health was four
new cases and eight deaths.

Savannah, Nov. 5.-The severe
break in wheat yesterday put traders
on the quivive today and a sort of de-
preston in feeling was regained dur
ing this morning and reigned during
the entire session. While the selling
at times was quite large, the demand
seemed small and of a character not
very inspiring to holders; the decline
has sort of put damper on the buy
ing and bulls appear temporarily to
have lost enthusiasm and if they have
added anything to their lines today, it
has not attracted attention.

Savannah, Nov. 5.-The stock market
was active and weak under selling for
both accounts. The movement was
started by the apprehension of trouble
mors that a curt note to the United
States was in contemplation, and by
what was regarded as the injudicious
action of the chamber of commerce in
resolving to petition congress to in
crease the force of artillery for coast
defense.

UNFORTUNATE CRETE.

Famine, New Danger, Threatens the
Island-Every Day the Situation Grows
Worse.
CANEA, March IA new danger
threatens this unfortunate island, and
If 1T is to be averted speedy settlement
OF the difficulties must be arrived at.
Every day the situation is becoming
more desperate. owing to the fact that
throughout the island the state of war
prevents any attention being paid to
the crops. In the towns which are be-
sieged by the insurgents, the situation
is much worse than it is in the country
districts.
In Heraklion alone, where there has
been very large influx of refugees,
the outlook is very serious. There is
now in the town, counting the regular
Moslem population and the refugees,
fully $4,000 persons. Provisions are
very scarce, and famine is imminent.
Large numbers of refugees are already
dying of starvation, and it was the
knowledge of this fact that led Kor-
akas, the Greek leader, to issue his or
der permitting the cultivation of the
fields near the town.
The lines of the besiegers are abso-
lutely impossible as has been proved
by the failure of several sorties that
have been made. The officials in the
town have telegrapbed to Canea inn
ploring the assistance of the foreign
warships in raising the siege but it
is not considered likely that
their supplication will receive a
favorable response. though provisions
may be sent to the starving. Korakas
has not yet cut off the water supply of
the town, which he threatened few
days ago to do. Should he carry this
threat into effect the condition of the
besieged people would be pitiable in
deed.
Korakas, with part of his forces, is
advancing upon Hierapetra. He will
pass through the turbulent district of
Lashithi and the populace there is try
ing to join him. 1t is pretty certain
that the garrison at Hierapetra will
have to capitulate when the insurgents
reach there unless the foreign war
ships help the Turks

IN DREAMS.

In dreams revisit the scenes of my youth,
When friendship meant friendship. and
truth meant truth; ~
When hearts were wide open. and knowing
no guile,
And life flowed as broad and as deep as the
Nile;
When Johnny" and Charlie" and '.Rilly''
and Ben"
Toed the mark like brave fellows and act
ed like men,
And would look ip your face in the morn or
the night
With eyes that were truthful and kindly
and bright.
And there was sweet Katie" the pride of
them all:
And Jennie so graceful, so stately and
tall
With a voice like an angel, or twitter of
birds,
Whose soul was forever expressed in her
words.
Sweet Fannie" the registering, frolicsome
girl
Kept hearts in flutter and life in a
whirl;
While her songs in the school room and
laugh on the stairs
Could Danish all sorrow and scatter dull
cares;
And her waltz in the ballroom attracted ali
eyes,
Like stars that are glowing in bright sum-
mer skies.
What millions I'd give to live once again
In the light of her eyes, and stroll down
the lane,
AS we did when our life and our love were
so lucky,
When we kissed in the moonlight of dear
old Kentucky.
But the years that are fed shall never
again
Fill my heart with pure pleasure, sorrow
or pain;
Yet my soul now awakes like a magical
song,
Or the notes of a lutte that our hearts loved
so long
That sounds DER the years like a SYM
phonic strain,
And never on earth shall enchant me
again!
