BRUNNEn's SERVICES URGED.
Council Inclined to Make the salary
AIIuring Enough to Get Him.

There does not seem to be much doubt
about DIR. w. F. Drummer being Savan-
nah's health Officer. The conviction that
the board Of aldermen seem to have that
he is the man for the place means that
they viii make any reasonable concession
to secure his services, even though this
calls for a more alluring offer in salary
than that already made. Several alder
men stated yesterday that DR.. Drummer
is wanted. and that Savannah Is able to
get him.
To say the least Of it the turn things
have taken in Council is considered high
~ complimentary 10 DR.. Drummer
even though he does not decide to return
to Savannah. Those who remember the
circumstances under which he was ousted
from the health Office by the Meldrim ad-
minlstration, when his salary was re-
duced 10 $3.50, feel that things have
taken an interesting turn, since he is now
assured of an offer OF twice that amount
to return. There seems TO be no doubt
about securing his services, providing he
has any idea of returning to Savannah.
Alderman ". J. Doyle says the Cily
Council seems bent on engaging an able
sanitarian, and as the city needs a man
who thoroughly understands his business,
he for one is willing to make any reason
able concession TO get such a man feeling
fully satisfied that the people win indorse
whatever is done. What seems to COM
mend DR.. Drummer most" said Alderman
Doyle, lis that the people have confidence
in his determined efforts to enforce law.
Council feels that in getting him they viii
have a man in whom the people win fee.
that they are 90 be protected, and for
that reason any offer the city makes win
be approved. There is no feature Of the
city government in which l feel a keener
interest than the protection of the public
health, which has much to do with the
maintenance Of business, and ] am there
fore willing 10 make any consistent offer.
Whether Council would add anything to
the salary already proposed / cannot say,
but / for one would be willing to do il,
if we find DR.. Drummer cannot afford u
give up his present position with the gov
eminent for the amount offered The
truth is that If the city gets a good man
1t must pay well for his services"
Casual conversations with members of
Council indicated that the offer made DR..
Drummer was more in the nature of a fees-
er, aud if he declines to accept because
Of the salary, the amount will be made
right. 1t is expected q reply VIII be receiv-
cd from Havana by the time Council meets
again, when il viii he known what further
acton to take The general impression
seems 10 be that DR. Drummer will not ac-
oept the position for the salary offered. as
this would be a considerable sacrifice of
what he is now said to receive from the
government.

WANT OTHER LANES PAVED.
Looks Like "A Move TO Carry on This
Work Extensively.

Since the completion of the paving of
Congress lane from Barnard to Whitaker
with vitrlfed brick, property owners abut-
ting on other lanes have decided to ask
Council to pave the lanes. A petition to
pave Congress lane from Whitaker to Bull
was read at the last meeting of Council
and was referred to the street and lane
committee. 1t is said other petitions viii
be flied.
Now that the electric light and tele-
phone work is completed, properly own
ers seem to think the time has come for
paving the lanes. Brick seems to be the
preferable material and the chances are
that the next two months will see great
deal of this work done in Savannah. II
can be done without violating the sanitary
laws in digging up the streets.
This question was brought up in connec-
ton with the work just competed, and 1t
seemed TO be the opinion of Council that
il could be carried on without any viola
ton since there is very little digging to be
done.

While it is the intention of Dr. LeHardy
TO resume this work he will not be able

BETHESDA's SCHOOL BURNED.
Fire Broke Out at Midnight and
Destroyed Building and Contents.

Destroyed Building and Contents.
The school house at Bethesda, formerly
the chronological building was burned to
the ground early yesterday morning. The
fire was discovered about midnight by Mr.
McGlory, principal of the Bethesda School
who had just gone to bed. Mr.. MeGlory s
room is in the orphan house. about $50
feet from the school house. His attention
was attracted by a light and getting up
he saw the school building on fire He i'm
modiately gave the alarm, and everyone
turned out 10 fight the fire, even the small
est boys bringing little cans of water
Mr.. John Stevens, quartermasIer. and
two TRUSTEES came over from the convict
camp and through their efforts the old
blacksmith shop was saved. 1t was appar-
ent soon after the fire started that the
school house was doomed, and in an hour
and a quarter il was enlireTy destroyed
The fire started in the southeast corner
of the attic. The wind being from that
quarter the flames encompassed every
thing so quickly that il was impossible to
save any of the contents of the building
The desks, benches, books and the extra
tables and furniture belonging to the or
phan house We're lost in the general dis
aster.
Mr.. A. " Chaplin, superintendent of the
orphanage, believes the fire was incen-
diary. No fire had been in the building
since March. He was in the building at
dark and was up until II O'Clock, an hour
before the fire broke out.
There was $1,000 insurance on the burned
building, but none on its contents The
school, building was originally built for a
archaeological department TO the orphan
house, but owing to the boys being, as
a rule, too young TO be benefited by a
chronological course, after four yeacs'
trial, IL was abandoned and turned into a
school house.
Efforts will be made to build a new
school house in time for the opening of
the school in the fall. In the meanwhile
the boys will be given a few weeks extra
vacation until temporary arrangements be
made for the school.

THEY DID NOT MEET.
Auditorium People Found Court
House in Darkness.

AOuSe IN Darkness.
The auditorium meeting which was ad-
vertised 10 be held al the court house. last
night was not held. There was evidently
some misunderstanding as those who went
TO the court house found the doors locked,
and the building Ia darkness. Several in
quiries were made at the Morning News
10y parties who desired TO know II the Place
of meeting had been changed.
The auditorium project has met with
such general Endorsement that II would
not do TO let il so through for the lack of
little management. There is undoubtedly
a general desire 10 see such a building
erected
10 regard TO the suggestion that The
Guards hail might be converted into an
auditorium a gentleman who is Interested
in the matter remarked 20 a Morning News
reporter yesterday that line grounds OF the
First Regiment Armory would make a
splendid site for an auditorium. There is
ample room there. he sad, and the build
ms Is conveniently situated TO the resi-
dence section If necessary to remove the
armory building, he said rooms could be
provided for the companies In the audi
torlum where more cofnmodious quarters
could be furnished them than they enioy
at present.

THE OLD SPANISH CANNON.
VIII Soon De Known whether Sa-
Vannah VIII Get One.


Vannah VIII Get One.
It will soon be known whether all that
Savannah has done to get one of the Span
ish cannon captured at Santiago is to be of
any effect. According to q Washington
dispatch in the Morning News yesterday,
It has been decided that the Governors
of the various states shall designate the
name of the association, G. A. r. Post
or municipality which shah get it." 1t
was requested that the Governors reply
90 a circular which has been sent to them
making this proposition.
Savannah has been watching the dispo-
sition OF the cannon, and took occasion 10
make an early request for one At that
time il was the understanding that the
matter was in the hands of Secretary
Alger. who has since doubtless concluded
he wants some one else TO give out the
one cannon to many applicants. Gov.
Gambler has probably received the circus
lar, and will decide what city Is to get
the cannon set apart for Georgia
Whether he will be apprised of the fact
that Savannah applied for one weeks ago
is not known, but II is not understood
that he will receive the word from this
end OF the line.
II seems the city authorities think they
have done all they can 10 get the relics.
Two requests are now on file In the Office
OF the Secretary of War. II may be, how
ever. that Gov. Gambler will be acquainted
with the fact that Savannah made the
first application.

NO SYNDICATE AS YET.
Rice Planters Opposed to Heavy Cap
itaIixation.

The rice planters held their second meet
ing yesterday 10 consider the plan of the
proposed syndicate by which all the rice
lands on the north side of the river are
to be consolidated and bonds issued for
the purpose of building large dam or
dyke along the entire plantation front
Nothing was accomplished, however, as
those interested desire further time for
consideration. There is some objection to
the plan on account of the large capt.
talization proposed Some Of the planters
prefer that the syndicate should be fnanc-
ed on more modest lines.
In this connection it is reported that
another plan will be offered for the cons
sideradon of the planters by which local
capitalists will propose TO finance the
syndicate on lines more in keeping with
the ideas of the planters. Another meet
ing viii be held Thursday.

The government pays for the build
ing of $50 postal cars every year, yet
it does not own one of them. 1t not
only does this, but it throws in $500 on
each car for good measure. An Or
binary postal car costs $4,000. and the
government pays to the railroad COM
pany $500 for the use of that car each
year, says the Nonconformist. There
are $50 such cars in use for which the
railroads get about $3,600,000 annually.
One of those CI4 !, III last twenty years
and during mat time the railroads
collect from Uncle Sam S72,00O,OOo, and
have a lot Of old iron and kindling
wood left. The car cost the railroads
altogether only S3,250,000, but in TWEEN
ty years they get from the United
States seventy-two millions. In ad-
dtion to this we pay the railroads
$50, goo, 600 year for carrying the mail
in those cars that we buy every year,
but never own. How long would the
business of a private individual last
if he would make this kind of trade?
4 lie luC GOO tet'S
for many times less money than they
charge for carrying the mails. Why
should the government be robbed any
more than an express company? There
is no use in getting mad over this out
rageous extortion, but we are much to
blame if we don't derive from it
useful lesson in politics. Public own
ership of railways and mail cars will
settle this stupendous steal and settle 1t
forever. When that time comes, and
it is surely coming, the postal service,
instead of being constant expense,
will be source of prodigious profit.
When we build a. mail car we will build
It for ourselves and not for somebody
else, and we will transport the mails |
for six million dollars, instead OF |
thirty millions. How soon will the
people quit their foolishness and profit
by the lessons of wisdom?
