DEATH OF TAYLOR WALTHOUR.
He Died Yesterday Morning After a
Brief Illness.


Mr.. Taylor Walthour, after a short but
severe illness, died yesterday morning at
8 o'clock, at his home, No. 40 Jones
street. east.
Mr.. Walthour was i'll early in the fall,
and went away for his health. He re-
turned short time ago, and was again
taken sick, there being a general break
Ing down of his entire system. Tt was
thought at one time he was improving,
but his mind had been affected, and it,
seem med difficult to do anything for him.
For the last two days he had been sink
ing rapidly.
Mr.. Walthour was born at Walthour-
vile, Liberty county, and was about 80
years old. During the war he was with
the Fifth Georgia Cavalry under Gen.
Robert H. Anderson in Virginia. For the
last twenty-five years he had been con-
nected with the United Hydraulic Press,
better known as the lower press. For
the last six or seven years he was its sec
rotary and treasurer and general man
ager, which position he held up to the
time of his death.
He leaves wife and two children. The
funeral will take place at s. o'clock this

QUARANTINE TAKEN OFF.
The Inspectors Called in and Rail-
roads Resume Their Schedules.


The gates of Savannah are again open
to the world. The people Of New Orleans,
Mobile and Montgomery can now come
here as freely as those from Montreal and
Quebec.
The city council met yesterday for the
purpose OF receiving and acting upon the
recommendation of the sanitary board,
adopted Sunday, for the removal of quar-
antine.
The matter was acted upon very prompt
~, and the resolution for the removal of
quarantine was adopted without dissent
ing voice.
BY instruction of Acting Mayor Hamll-
ton, notice of the action of council was
Immediately telegraphed TO the mayors Of
charleston, Brunswick and Augusta.
shortly after the dispatch of these mes
sages telegram was received from Mayor
J. Adger Smyth of Charleston, saying,
our board of health recommends fur
Their delay before raising quarantine"
Council had adjourned when the tele-
gram was received, and the acting mayor
did not think 1t worth while to call the
board together again to consider the mat
ter.
The mayors of New Orleans, Mobile and
Montgomery were also notified of the ac-
tion of council.
The quarantine inspectors were notified
to come in, their services being no longer
required. The railroads have been greatly
hampered in their operations by the quar-
antine and It's removal will be a great re-
lief to them. Northern people, travelling
both on business and pleasure, have been
deferred from coming south on account
of the quarantine restrictions. Other cit
les will doubtless follow suit and travel
will soon be Unrestricted. Through SER
vice between Savannah and Montgomery
was resumed yesterday by the railroads.
Cooper's circus, which was on its way
to Savannah, was probably the last suf-
ferer from the quarantine The whole
combination was held up by the Quaran-
tine inspectors. As soon as council had
taken action, however, the circus was al
lowed to come in.

the majority was drawn to the scene by

spend the day on the Avondale range.
This however, is probably the last year
the Cadets will have their shoot on

long after the shooting season has closed
that many of the members of the company
have by that time lost much of the benefit
of their practice, and it is q hard matter
to make as good a showing as might 9TH
