THEY WILL MAKE A REPLY.

County Commissioners to Answer
Structures of the Grand Jury.
The County Commissioners at their Oc-
tober meeting tomorrow will in all prob
ability, make a reply to the grand jury,
whose general presentments in some re-
spects rather mildly hauled them over
the Goals, to use trite phrase.
One of the commissioners was asked
about the meeting yesterday, and upon
being questioned as to the grand jury
presentments said there was every like
lihood of a reply to the presentments be-
ing made this week. Just what the ra-
ture OF 1t will be beyond the general idea,
could not be ascertalned, but there is lit
tie doubt that the reply will be about
as warm as the presentments so far as
the commissioners are concerned.
There may or there may not be a le-
ply" the commissioner said when first
questioned, but as a matter of fact he
thought it very probable that something
would be said. There are certain errors
In the presentments which we think it
proper to call attention To-" he said. They
are both with regard to the county roads
and the remarks of the grand jury on
that subject, and the report of the special
committee which was appointed to lnves-
tigate the management of county affairs"
Further than this he did not care to
discuss the subject. The reply, he said,
will be decided on in caucus and ordered
sent to the grand jury without going be-
fore the meeting 1t is understood that
the county attorney has been preparing
the reply and that Ii will be submitted
to the board In caucus on Thursday.
Some questions were also asked the
commissioner with regard 10 the drainage,
which, 1t is said, has been Impaired In
several sections as the result of the recent
storms. In some parts of the county re-
ports come that considerable sickness has
been caused by the stopping up of the
bitches as the result of the two storms.
I'VE have had no report of the stop
ping of any of the drains" he said, land
if such conditions were shown to exist,
the matter would be attended to at once.
The superintendent and his assistant have
been busily engaged in repairing the
bridges of the county many of which
were damaged by these storms, but they
have also been on the lookout for any
trouble with the drains. 1 do not believe
that there has been anything serious, or
we would have heard of 1t before now"

TO VISIT THE WEST INDIES.
sAVANNAHs COMMISSIONERS TO
CUBA AND PORTO RICO NAMED.

Messrs. I. G. Hans, A. b. Moore and
A. E. MOyneIO Selected for the
MissiOn-They Will Leave Savan-
nah in About Ten Days and Spend
Three Weeks on the Islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico Investigate
ing Trade Conditions.
Messrs. Isaac G. Haas, A. B. Moore and
A. f. Moynelo have been selected as
special trade commissioners from Savan-
nah to visit the islands of Cuba and Porto
Rico. study the business con-
ditions existing there and de-
termine the best steps for savan-
nah to pursue to succeed in establishing
chants there.
These commissioners were finally de-
cided upon last night at a meeting of the
committee having the West India trade
movement in charge. The committee met
at the De Soto and nearly all were pres
ent. Capt. D. G. Purse presided. The
special committee appointed to select the
representatives to visit the islands, an
nounced that they had agreed upon the
gentlemen named. The committee unani-
mously adopted their report. The COM
mlttee, Messrs. Joseph Ferst, !. B. Tlede-
man and ]. s. Collins, are understood to
have secured the consent of those named
to undertake this responsible work.
The commissioners will leave Savannah
in about ten days. The exact time they
will be absent cannot be definitely stated,
but it will doubtless be three to four
weeks. They will go directly to Havana,
where they will spend several days. The
information they obtain there and the
conditions they find existing will largely
guide them in making up their future
itinerary
Mr. Moynelo is we'll acquainted in Cuba
and, as everybody knows, speaks Spanish
fiuently. His knowledge of the language
Of the customs and requirements of the
people of the islands, and his acquaintance
among the business men there will make
him an extremely valuable member of the
commission 1t is proposed TO ascertain
exactly what the people of the island
want, as shown by the needs of the mer-
chants, to lay SaVannah's facilities for
furnishing them with these goods before
the merchants, to learn the standing of
the various houses and otherwise get to-
gether such advice as a business man
would naturally want In opening up trade
with a new country.
The committee charged with the raising
of money to meet the expenses of the
commission win meet at the office of Capt
Purse at noon to-day. Mr. W. D. Kren-
son is chairman of this committee There
is hardly any reason to fear that the
amount required, said to be about $1,000,
win not be quickly subscribed by the mer-
chants of the city.

AN OUTLET FOR THE WEST.
savannah to Get the same Export
Rates as New York.

Vice President and General Manager
Cecil Gabbett of the Georgia and Alabama
Railroad, gave the committee in charge
of the West India trade movement much
valuable information last night as to the
steps that are being taken to advance
Savannah's interests as a point of ex-
port for Western products. He incidental
~ let in some more light
on the movement to make
Hutchinson's Island great rail-
road and steamship terminal and the OBJ
Jects that are involved in the project
Mr.. Gabbett gave the committee
somewhat detailed account of a fight re-
Gently made at an important railroad
meeting in New York city in behalf Of
savannah. Heretofore and at present,
savannah Is practically shut out from
exporting Western products, il appears,
by the discriminatiye rates against this
port. The land rate to New York, il is
slated, IS II cents, while TO Savannah 1t
Is 80 cents. This is naturally a difference
adequate to keep Savannah In the back
ground so far as the foreign shipment
of Western stuffs is concerned. The
Georgia and Alabama and Western con-
nectons 1t has made propose to utilize
the superior advantages of Savannah for
the purpose Of exporting these products
10 40 IL lt is necessary Tor them 10 De
able TO meet the through export rates
allowed to New York. 1t is on this line
that the fight has been made. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mr.. Gabbett gave the COM
mittee to believe that the outlook is
bright for Sayannah's being put on the
same basis as New York in this respect
as soon as everything is in readiness for
a movement through this port.
This but serves TO confirm the idea gen.
orally entertained that the transformation
of Hutchinson's Island into a vast terminal
is not only intended to give the Georgia
and Alabama yard rooms and warehouses,
but is part of a much broader scheme to
develop Savannah as a port for the ship
ment of Western products, which viii come
here over the lines of the Georgia and Ala
bama and its connections. There is every
reason to believe that this is one of the
principal objects in view, and that the
value of the terminal scheme to Savannah
is much greater than many have supposed.

PLUMBERS TO CONFER.
VIII Meet at City Exchange Tonight
to Discuss Ordinances.

VIII Meet at City Exchange Tonight
to Discuss Ordinances.
There will be a meeting of plumbers
at the city exchange tonight for the pur-
pose of discussing the plumbing ordinance,
which has not proven satisfactory in ac-
complishing the reforms for which it was
intended. Inspector Cosgrove has arrang-
ed for the use of the Council chamber,
and it Is expected there will be a large
and representative meeting.
Among the plumbers invited to attend
are w. ]. Floyd, T. j. McEllin, P. E.
Masters, E. F. Broderick, McKenna &
Welsh, Carswell & Co., A. Robider, w. H.
Pollard, H. J. Meyer, James Collins, IT.
J. O'Brlen, T. Halligan, p. H. Herman,
W. L. Corbett, L. A. Mccarthy, L. l..
Burpee and the Paul Plumbing Company.
These have been asked to attend, as 1t
is desired TO have a full and free discus
sion on the ordinance and make such
changes as the majority think proper.
From the beginning the ordinance
seems not to have been satisfactory" said
Inspector Cosgrove yesterday, land with
a view to settling the objections for all
time to come, IL is decided to hear the
ideas of all, draft the ordinahce in ac-
cordance with them, and then look for no
further complaint. The law Is an import
ant one, and is in accordance with the
secure better plumbing. The requirements
must be just, however ana in conformity
with modern methods, otherwise the law
cannot be enforced without a great deal
of friction"
One of the main defects in the present
ordinance is that 1t ignored the Durham
system of house plumbing, which is the
latest, and which promises to take pre-
cedence over all others. 1t is stated the
Durham system means the use of wrought
iron pipe within buildings, while the 9TH
er systems use cast iron. This wrought
iron Is connected by screwing 1t together
with a special connection, leaving a per-
fecly smooth surface inside, while the
cast iron is corked together with lead.
The Durham system it is claimed is far
superior 10 the other, because the con
nections are more securely and satisfac~
torily made.
But the present ordinance prevents using
this system by the provision that with
in buildings, ana for four feet outside
of same, no soil, waste or drain pipe, nor
downshaft or vent, shall be constructed
of brick, sheet metal or earthenware,
but the same shall be of cast iron soil
pipe. In every case where a sewer can
not be placed four feet from a building
cast iron piper shall, be used In case of
back-air ventilation, cast iron galvanized
wrought iron, or lead pipe shall be used"
As the ordinance is considered worth
less so long as II excludes the use of mod
ern and improved methods, ii was determ-
ined to change it. and to also consult on
such other changes as might be consid-
cred proper so that there win in future
be no friction In enforcing the law The
desire is to shape it according to the ideas
of the plumbers, though this was attempt
ed in the present instance, but seems to
have failed to accomplish desired results.

MUST SHIP TO NORFOLK.
Cotton Men Around Columbia Would
Like to Trade With savannah.

Cotton Men Around Columbia Would
Like to Trade With Savannah.
According to several travelling men, who
take in Columbia, S. c.. the cotton men in
that section are kicking because they are
shut out of shipping cotton to Savannah,
on account of the rates that prevail.
The rate on cotton from Columbia to
Savannah Is the same as that from Co
lumbia to Norfolk, though the distance TO
the latter place is about three times as
great. But in sending cotton to Savannah
the shippers have to pay extra insurance
of about four points on account of the
fact that it has to go around Hatteras. 1t
seems that Hatteras has a bad reputation
with the cotton shippers and insurance
men, as well as with sea travellers.
One of the travelling men, who makes
that point frequently, was talking of
bringing the matter to the attention of the
freight bureau, as he is confident that
remedy can be found for the disadvantage
under which Savannah seems to labor.

A part of the unused track of the Sa-

Railway, which was recently ordered re-
moved by Commissioner Willink, has been
taken up, but there Is still some remain
ing. This is on Anderson and a portion
of Barnard streets. The track along
streets where there is most traffic, it is
stated, has been removed.
1t is the intention of Commissioner
Willink TO have the streets cleared of
these Instructions at the earliest possible
moment. He is governed largely by the
necessity for clearing away the track,
however, as 1t is not as troublesome in
some localities as others. There has been
no correspondence with the street rail-
way officials recently on the subject, but
the matter viii probably be taken up
shortly, and the company urged 10 remove
all unused track. The city officials desire
the track removed If the company does
not intend to make use of 1t.
