HINGES MUST IN LEVEL.
Wooden Cellar Doors VIII BE Al
lowed Under Certain Conditions.

The street and lane committe has au-
thorized the continued use Of wooden
doors at cellar openings, but the hinges
must not extend above the level Of the
sidewalk as at present. To require the
displacing of wood for iron doors was
more than the committee expected a pres
ent, and il considers the conclusion reach
ed the better pan. 1t is believed to be
only a matter of a short time, however
when modern traps win be required at
these openings.
The most Objectionable feature of wood
en- doors seems to be the extending hinges
which form an obstruction that pedes-
TRANS tumble over at night. With the
doors level with the surface of the walk
and the hinges attached underneath in
the manner IL is proposed to put them,
and the doors properly constructed and
kept In good condition, there is no great
objection TO the continued use Of the
present doors. They will swing outward
but If constructed as the street and lane
committee expects, they VIII be quite diff
ferent from the doors now in use.
Extending hinges on some streets have
always been regarded as public nuisances
On the southern side of 81. Julian street
between Barnard and jefferson. all the
cellar doors have old Revolutionary
hinges that stick UP from one to two
inches. This Is the case with some of the
more important streets, some of which
are soon TO be improved with artificial
stone walks. In every case the same re-
quirements will be made. however. so
that uniformity to the extent the commit
Tee mas decided upon will be maintained

DEATH OF MRS. J. W.. RIVALS.
Died in Atlanta sunday After a Lin
gering Illness.

gering Illness.
News was received in Savannah Sunday
of the death in Atlanta, on that day, Of
Mrs. James w. Ryals, the wife of young
man well known and liked in Savannah
and who, herself. had many friends an the
CITY. The Atlanta Constitution of yester-
day has this to say of her death:
A death that will be learned of with
genuine sorrow by a large circle of friends
and acquaintances is that of Mrs. James
W. Ryals, the youngest daughter of Dr.
and Mrs II. Motley and the wife OF
James w. Ryals.
After long illness, during which she
weakened gradually, but beyond the hope
of recovery, Mrs. Ryals died yesterday at
ternoon about 1880 O'Clock. Her death as
one peculiarly sad. Young, pretty, loved
by all who knew her the center OF an al
fect.onate home and bun ittie more thah
a bride in matrimony, her passing away Is
an occasion that makes sorrow sharper
and draws TO its fullest the sinoerest SYM
patty of the familys friends.
But little more than two years ago as
Ruby Motley, at the age of 10, she
| became the WIG OF james Hyd4ST ~
| eldest son of Maj. Ryals, of Savannah
Bright, vivacious yet gentle and genuine
she easily made the majority of her &c
quaintances friends If loved by those who
were not linked to her by ties of relation
ship, those who claimed consanguinity as
a closer cause for affection felt that much
of their life centered in her and her wei
/ Care.
| For more than year her failing health
| created a keen solicitude ON the part Of
/ her family. Everything possible was done
! to lend new visor to her weakening frame,
/ and every safe form of medical treatment
! that science has devised was brought to
/ benr without avail
Three weeks ago she began to sink
steadily and since a week ago her streng n
has slipped away swiftly until yesterday
/ afternoon she closed her eyes into the soft
and gentle sleep of Gods gracious king
/ dom. Al her bedside al the time were her
! parents. her husband and her sister, Mrs
Sanford Gay.
The funeral will occur from the resi-
dence, at Battle Hill. at o'clock this af-
ternoon DR.. Mcdonald will conduct the
services, and the interment will take place

WIDER WALKS IN SQUARES.
street and Lane Committee to Make
the Alterations Soon.

the Alterations soon.
The walks through the squares may be
widened as soon as the street and lane
committee of Council is relieved of its
present siege of work Chairman Dixon
and Director of Public Works Gadsden
inspected some of the squares yesterday
with view TO determining which are in
need of wider walks, the purpose being to
rearrange the most important first.
Besides getting wider walk under the
proposed change, the committee will also
secure uniformity. While ten-foot east
and west walk was recently laid through
Oglethorpe square. 1t is not understood
that this is the width the committee will
adopt. Ii is pretty certain that the walks
will not be any narrower however as the
purpose is to give ample room for pedes-
trians TO pass in pairs without inconven-
fence.
MY opinion is that nothing short CT a
ten-foot walk should be laid in the
squares" said Chairman Dixon THE
walks should be of sufficient width to be
graceful, which is not the case in many
squares we visited This Improvement has
never been undertaken by any former
Council, with view to continuing it I'M
til the walks in all squares have been
brought to uniform width. The under
taking cannot be put through in short or
der, but il will have to be continued grad
ually because of the large amount of new
work that will have to be done. In many
squares there are no walks, and never
have been any. This will not make much
difference in point Of cost, however. as the
old brick cannot be used to advantage in
the rebuilding.

PREPARING NEW LISTS
Interesting Discoveries Incident to Ex
 animation of Havana uarbor

Havana, June 19.-General Maximo Gomez has instructed General Rafael Rodriguez, chief of staff, to open an office at Quinta De Los Motionos; and to begin the prepara- ton of the new lists. The work was begun today.
 Today General Rodriguez mailed personal notices and published in all the news papers of the land instructions to divis- ion, corps, brigade regimental and com- pany commanders to send as soon as pos sible complete data-the names of all the men of their commands, with dates of en- listment and the periods of service. The preparation of the list will be pushed for ward with all the speed possible, on ac- count of the pitiable condition of the sol diery virtually moblized miles from home at the pay stations
 Some interesting discoveries have result ed from the observations made by the off, cials charged with studying the tidal cur rents in Havana harbor. All the observa- tions show constant outward flow, with only sub-current of in-running fresh water. Owing to the shoals at the ex- posits of mud and other filth have been made there. but 1t is believed that with proper dredging and an ordinary amount of attention to the harbor it can be made clear thus doing away with the possibility of infection. Although salt is the main disinfectant, it is not thought that much comes from the main current, although there is probably some from the shoals.

A UNION FUNERAL SERVICE

Tuscaloosa, June 19.-(Special. eThe fu- neral services of Dr. B. F. Meek were held yesterday morning in Clark hall at Il o'clock. The commencement sermon was to have been delivered by Rev. Neal Ander- son, of the Presbyterian church at Mont gomery at that time, but the obsequies of the late professor took it's place. The pas tors of four churches, Rev. D. Clay Lilly, of the Presbyterian; Rev. F. P. Culver, of the Methodist; Rev. L. o. Dawson, Of the Baptist; Father J. P. McCafferty, of the Catholic, and Rev. Neal Anderson partici- pated in a union service and each made appropriate remarks. The largest crowd that has been in Clark hall for years filled the hail and galleries. The floral tributes were numerous, one particularly handsome design being a large open book in white flowers, which was given by the co-eds. The active pail bearers were: President James K. Powers, Colonel T. c. McCarvey, Professors T. W. Palmer, A. A. Persons. D. A. Smith, W. B. Stafford. H. A. Sayre, Dr. John Little. The honorary pail bearers were Dr. w. s. Wyman, Judge w. S.

Richardson and Colonel J. M Van Hoose. The interment was in Evergreen cemetery.
 The university is in mourning for Dr. Meek and in consequence all social gayeties such as the presidents reception and the university hop have been abandoned. The alumni banquet, however, will take place as arranged, and so also will the dances and entertainments that are given by the young men in town. The Sewanee base ball team have been telegraphed and the game will not take place.
 Rev. Neal Anderson, who was to have de- lvered the baccaaureate sermon yesterday morning, preached a strong and interesting sermon at the Presbyterian church last night. The church was filled to overflow ing.

PRATTVILLE

Prattville, June 19.-(Special.) .)-Farners in this vicinity complain of dry weather on corn and cotton. It has been about three weeks since there was a good season for all the crops in this part of the county. Crops are reported good.
 Company B of the Alabama National Guard, locally known as the Prattville Rifles, had meeting in the council cham Der on the 18th and organized temporarily. Judge G. s. Livingston made an enthusias- tic speech to the boys and they were very demonstrative in enrolling their names for the purpose of letting Adjutant-G General Brandon know just what they could do here in getting up a company. The or ganization was made as far as can be just at present by electing H. B. Miller. captain: J. M. Ward, first lieuten- ant; Douglass Booth. second lieu tenant. The captain, says they have in this company seventy as good men as one can find anywhere. They will be mustered in next week as Company B of the Alabama National Guard. Prattville feels a pardonable pride in her first body of soldiers since the civil war.
 There will be soon the first public school organized under the operation of the new charter of Prattville. The town council elected the board of trustees last Wednes- day evening consisting of J. B. Bell, John Burns, Daniel Bateman, J. w. Rice and Judge w. F. Wilkinson.
