CITY BREVITIES.


Mr.. e. L. Rotereau of the Savannah
Press Club requested yesterday that the
statement be made that he did not apollo
gize to the Messrs Lilienthal, nor did he
propose a settlement. The settlement of
the case, he said was offered by them,
and was accepted so that the affair has
been amicably adjusted.
The Electric Supply and Construction
Company secured a good contract in
Charleston yesterday. The Charleston
cotton mills is going to install 1000 light
plant, and bids were received from some
of the largest concerns in the country
The Electric Supply Company was award
ed the contract, and work will be COM
menced at once.
A party went to a house in the southern
part of the city the other day pretending
to be a plumbing inspector and wanted to
go through it. The lady of the house
was too sharp for him, however, and ask
ed for his authority. He could not show
it, and she turned him down. The city
has no such official as a plumbing inspec-
tor, and parties should be on their guard
against any one pretending to hold such a
position.
A bicycle went to pieces with its rider
last night at about O'clock on Bull
street, at the intersection with Liberty 1t
was seemingly without reason, as the col
lapse came on the smooth pavement be-
fore the car track was reached, and the
rider was a light weight. The lower tube
of the frame broke loose from the head of
the wheel, and deprived Of this support
the upper tube broke in two. The young
man was thrown violently from his mount
and was first thought by the spectators to
have been injured but he soon shouldered
his wreck and bore ii away.

AGAINST THE WORLD.
Health Certificates Required of All
Would BE Visitors Now.

Health Certificates Required of All
Would BE Visitors Now.
If rigid quarantine is of any effect. the
people of Savannah need have no fear of
the advent of yellow jack in their midst.
Savannah is now not guaranteed against
the yellow fever district only, but against
the world. No person can enter the city
now from New Orleans or the Klondike
without being properly equipped with
duly authenticated health certificate, prop
erIy signed and indorsed by some official
at each point visited by the holder of the
certificate since the document was first
issued to him or her.
There has been a general and very
decided disposition on the part of the Sa-
vannah public to have a quarantine de-
clared against Atlanta on account of the
number of yellow fever refugees who
have entered that city during the last
few days. This point was considered at
length by both council and the sanitary
board and the conclusion was that it was
unnecessary to direct a quarantine espe-
| cially against Atlanta, as under the rules
already adopted every person entering the
city from whatever quarter is required to
present health certificate in order to Sc
cure admission. Instructions to this effect
have been given the quarantine inspec
tors, with orders to rigidly enforce them.
The inspectors have also been given spe-
cial instructions as to baggage and to al
low none to enter the city when there is
any reason to suspect that the baggage
has been within the infected territory.
These and other matters were all fully
discussed at the meeting of the sanitary
board held yesterday.
The railroads received notice of only
one passenger having been stopped yes
terday at the quarantine lines. This was
1. F. Berry of Berry, who was coming In
on the Florida. Central and Peninsular
railroad. He was stopped at Rincon by
Quarantine officer ]. l.. Gallagher, who
wired the mayor of the detention. Neither
the conductor nor the officer knew Berry,
so his protestations were not accepted.

SLOW TRAINS ARE DANGEROUS.
More Accidents Happen to Them
Than Swiftly Moving Ones.


From the Indianapolis Journal.
''There seems to be am impression" said
a railway superintendent. speaking Of the
fast service the railways are now giving,
that the fast trains are the most danger
Gus for people to ride on, and that more
people are killed in crossing tracks, etc,
than by the trains which are slower. This
is a mistake. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has given this matter special at
tention and has statistics to show that, in
proportion to the fast and slow trains
run, more accidents have occurred to the
slow trains and more persons not in the
employ of the company killed by the slow
er trains. Men in charge of fast passen-
ger or freight trains are constantly on the
watch for danger. The engineer feels
that there is more at stake, and one win
notice that the blasts of his whistle are
more frequent and sharper; that the fire.
man is more particular to ring the bell
when passing through a town or a city
or near a highway crossing.
"It would be difficult to find people llv-
ing on the lines of the roads which run
fast trains that have not heard OF the
Chicago limited on the Pennsylvania lines,
the fast express, No 2, between St Louis
and New York, over the Vandalia ana
Pennsylvania lines; the Empire State ex-
press; the Knickerbocker, on the Big
Four, and the hundreds of other fast
trains. Fast trains are run nearer on
time and people know their time and keep
out OF the way. The equipment Of the
fast trains is kept at the best standard
and everything conduces to making them
safer to ride on and less liable to injure
people at highway crossings and in pass
ing through towns and cities. The Penn
sylvania transportatlons department is
fully satisfied that the above statement
is correct"
The samef remark will apply to the
freight service. In 1888 twelve miles an
hour was considered the highest speed
limit for freight train, and J. j. Turner,
when superintendent of the Indianapolis
division Of the Panhandle, was the first
to increase the speed Of freight trains in
this section. scheduling a train at sixteen
miles an hour between Indianapolis and
Columbus. Competitors took similar ac-
ton and increased the speed Of the fast
