TO DISCUSS QUARANTINE.
MayOy MeIdrim and DIR. LeHardy to
Attend Mobiles Convention.

DR.. w. II. Sanders of Mobile. Alabama's
state health officer, spent yesterday morn
ing in the city, and left at noon for
Charleston. He is making a tour of the
Southern cities in the interest of the con-
Alabama to meet in Mobile early next
month to discuss the subject of quaran-
tine.
DR.. Sanders called upon Mayor Meldrim
and Health Officer LeHardy, and easily
succeeded in interesting both of these gen
tlemen in the convention and its objects.
He was so successful, in fact, that both
accepted his invitation to attend and take
part. Mayor Meldrim agreed TO address
the convention upon the subject of
Quarantine and Commerce from a Legal
Standpoint DR.. LeHardy has not
agreed 10 prepare any paper so far as
known, but il is safe to say that the
subject of quarantine will not be discussed
in any convention in which he is present
without his having something to say about
i.
Dr.. Sanders, in discussing the Mobile
convention, said it was not called in adj
vocacy of any particular theory or idea
regarding quarantine. The recent yellow
fever epidemic on the Gulf Coast, with
the coincident epidemic of local shotgun
guarantees and the consequent Interrupt
ton of business throughout a wide terri
tory, with resulting losses of millions OF
dollars he said has proved the absolute
necessity of the people of the South get
ting together and agreeing upon some
concerted line of action to be pursued in
case of future epidemic. This will doubt
less require state and national legislation,
and the character of the legislation re-
quired will be one of the important sub
jects of discussion before the convention.
The convention will be composed of rep
resentatives of state and municipal gov
ernments, state and city health officers,
representatives of commercial bodies and
leading men of the South generally. Hon.
Hannis Taylor, ex-United States Minister
to Spain; Mr.. Farrar leading lawyer of
New Orleans. and other prominent ciu-
zens, will deliver addresses. Mayor Mel
drim said that he considers the convention
a very important one, and that he will at
Tend unless something unforeseen should

New House Drainage Contracting
Firm Ready For Business


The new house drainage firm of Rourke,
Mitchell & Delaney win probably file its
bond with the city to-day. The attorneys
of the firm now have the matter in hand.
If the firm had no more difficult work
ahead of 1t than furnishing an acceptable
bond house drainage would be a snap.
Work is progressing on the big sewer on
Randolph street as rapidly as could be ex-
pected The contractors consider this their
most dffhcut piece of work. As only
limited number of men can be worked, the
construction is necessarily slow. The men
are now working in a cut twenty feet
deep.
Mr.. T. f. Mitchell of the Mitchell Con-
struction Company said last night: 1--WE
have twenty-five cars of pipe on the way
and telegram received to-day stated
that eight more had been shipped. As
the pipe has about l,400 miles to travel il
necessarily takSs some time TO reach here.
As soon as we get the pipe on the ground
we can get to work more men and get
things moving more to our satisfaction"

by the Explosion.
At a meeting of the Savannah Camera
Club at its new quarters, at Bull and
New Houston streets, last night the agent
for a new device for fiashlight photo
graphy was demonstrating its advantages.
The members were much interested and
close attention was being paid, when sud-
denly there was an explosion, which
startled the entire neighborhood
The machine was demolished, the mem
bers scattered and the neighbors and po>
lice were Immediately called to inquire
into the matter. Fortunately, no harm
was done beyond one member receiving a
slight wound III the hand and another be-
ing struck in the side with a piece of the
machine. The gas was extinguished by
the conclusion and the agent escaped dur
in the confusion. 1t is needless to say
that the report of the club was adverse to
the adoption of the device.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

SHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A sharp rally at
Liverpool before the opening here started
wheat higher The foreign strength was
supplemented by the domestic situation.
The principal feature of the latter was
small receipts. and consequent inadequacy
of supplies for immediate shipment east
and abroad. Chicago receipts were 81 cars,
against 1874 last year; Minneapolis and Du-
luth. 70 cars, whereas 210 were received a
year ago. The total receipts al western pri-
Sal 900 bushels the similar day of last year.
Atlantic port exports were liberal. Such
reasons were sufficient to account for the
one cent a bushel advance in September
wheat that resulted In the first half of the
session. December as 1t has been doing Of
late, participated to only a small extent
in the bullshness of September. A good
deal of the short September bought in
was resold for the more distant month.
The demand for the scanty offerings of
altogether in excess Of the supply. The
demand for shipping lots was even more ur-
gent than it was yesterday, and the prem
ium bid over September price for mmedi-
ate shipment was cents, while cents
premium was bid for shipment up to the
cent higher and December Bc.
The strength in wheat and sharp ad-
vance in the spot article at Liverpool were
the leading influences in corn. September
closed with an advance of 144ssc over yes
terday.
Oats were firm in sympathy with the
other markets. The close was &c higher
for September.
The better tone in provisions was due to
the strength in grain and higher priss for
product for future delivery offered, and
that which did find its way into the pit
was quickly absorbed at advanced prices.
Pork rose 71ac and lard and ribs 2lac each.

withdraw from the association in thirty
days, but later, hearing that some of the
companies were violating their pledges,
sent word that his company would retire
at once without further delay. This re-
lieved the other companies of all obliga-
tons, and while scarcely any had decided
upon definite course of action this morn
ing, 1t was predicted that the fight now on
would be long and bitter, attended no doubt
on disastrous results.
Robert J. Hillas secretary of the Fidelity
and Casualty company, in speaking of the
break said it would be a long time before
his company would enter another alliance.
He could not tell what his competitors
would do, but II would not be the policy OF
his company to raise the rate Of commits
sion. The Plate-Glass association was or
ganized in New York in 1895. At that time
there were only seven companies doing
business in the United States. but with the
prosperity of recent years, others were or
ganized, and the compact companies soor
encountered strong opposition. Last year
when the price of glass was low, the COM
panies cleared large profits, getting excel
lent rates. Since then the price of glass
has increased, and the profits, 1t Is said
have been small.

Judge Hanford held that an insurance COM
