FOR SEWER CONNECTIONS.
House Drainage Ordinance Intro
duced by Alderman Thomas.


The City Council spent some time In
Committee of the Whole yesterday after
noon discussing the ordinance regulating
connections with the new house drain
age system offered by Alderman Thomas.
Several changes were made in the or
dinance as offered, after which the ordi-
nance was ordered published for informa-
ton.
One of the changes in the ordinance.
which Is of interest, takes the supervis-
ion Of the house drainage from the con-
troll of the Drainage Committee and
places 1t in the control of the Commit
tee on Streets and Lanes. The ordinance
as offered by Alderman Thomas places
the control under the Committee of
Drainage. The majority decided, how
ever, 20 change this TO the Streets and
Lanes. Alderman Thomas objected to
the change on the ground that the
Streets and Lanes Committee already has
more work to look after than any other
committee of Council, while the Drain
age Committee has very little work I'M
der its care. He also pointed out that
the house drainage work was originally
begun under the Drainage Committee and
was turned over to the special Committee
on Drainage, of which he is chairman,
with the understanding that 1t was to be
returned to the Drainage Committee when
the work was completed and the special
committee discharged from it's labors.
The majority did not agree with him,
however, and the change was made as
stated.
The ordinance provides THAI maps of
the new drainage system shall be pre-
pared and placed in the office of the d.
rector of public works and the plumbing
inspector and notice given of The same
for the information of the public, after
which is shall be unlawful to lay any
sewers, to connect with storm water sew
ers or to construct privy vaults or dry
wells within the completed districts. All
permits for connections are 10 be issued
by the Street and Lane Committee,
through the director of public works.
Connections are only to be made under
the supervision of inspectors to be desig-
mated by the Mayor and after all the
plumbing connected Herewith shall have
been found by the plumbing inspector to
fully comply with the requirements. A
complete record is to be kept in the of
flee of the director of public works of all
connections, showing location, date and
under whose supervision made.
a number of regulations, providing for
the manner of making connections and
also for the protection of the system from
uses for which ii was not intended are
provided. The ordinance will be pub
lished officially for public information. On
inquiry by Alderman farrell, Mayor My
ers stated that the board of plumbing
inspectors was expected to take the Or
dinance under consideration and to rec
ommend such changes and additions as
It might deem advisable.
The members of Council present were
Hon. Herman Myers, Mayor, and Alder
men Wells, Haas, Dixon, Schwarz, Thorn
as, Mills, farrell, Horrigan and Doyle.

HE DRANK CAREoLIC ACID.
Leroy EasterIin, "A Boy of Four Years
Met a Tragic Death.

Met a Tragic Death.
Leroy Easterlin, lad of years, living
with his parents on Liberty street. east
of Habersham. met a tragic death yester-
day afternoon. The boy was sent up
stairs by his mother for a bottle of cough
medicine, and, rummaging on the shelf
on which the stock of medicines was
kept. came across vial containing car
bolic acid.
In his childish innocence he raised the
vial 10 his lips and swallowed a por-
ton of it's contents before he became
aware of his mistake. His cries of agony
brought the people in the house rushing
to his side and the bottle, with the
residue of the virulent poison still remain
ing, told it's own story. A physician
was summoned and everything possible
was done to save the childs life, but de-
spite il all, he died. in great suffering
and agony. a quarter of an hour after
he had taken the fatal draught.
The lads father Is in Florida where
he has gone on business. He is connect
ed with the Easterlin Whisky Company
Of East Broad and Liberty streets, and
was in Florida partly on business and
partly on a pleasure trip 90 his old home.
He has been apprized of his sons sudden
and terrible death.

TO HANDLE THE CARRIAGE.
Mr.. Collins VIII submit n FrOposi-
tim to the City.

tiOn to the City.
Mr.. j. s. Collins said yesterday that he
would submit a bid to Council in behalf
of the Savannah, Tunderhok and Isle of
Hope Railroad in a day or two for dis
posing of the city's garbage Alderman
Dixon. chairman of the Street and Lane
Committee, has requested Mr.. Collins to
put in his bid.
1t seems that the result of some recent
conferences between Mr. Collins and
members of the Street and Lane Commit
tee on this subject have not been as sat-
isfactory to the former as he would like
to have had AS the Railroad Commit
tee will be put to considerable expense in
equipptng for the work, Mr.. Collins was
doubtful of the advisability of making a
bid under the circumstances.
AS the summer is at hand, tha Street
and Lane Committee must soon decide
what disposition it will make of the ex-
ira garbage which always piles up during
the heated term. AS the crematory is
not running, extra teams will have to be
put on soon unless some such arrange
ment as that offered by the street rail-
way company is entered into. If a prop
osition by which the city can save money
Is made, the indications are that it will
be accepted.

WILD EXCITEMENT
 IN COTTON MARKET
Transactions During the Session is Estimated to Cover
 800,000 Bales.

New York, February 13.-The widest ex- citement prevailed at the cotton exchange throughout the entire session. No official record was kept of the transactions, but it is estimated that they reached close to S0O,0OO bales. This would be near the rec ord. The. .pendulations of prices were ire quent and violent From the closing of Saturdays market to the highest point to- day there was an advance of 2 to 29 points, The upward movement, however, was by mo means steady Numerous periods of reaction gave the market at times the ap- pearance of going to pieces under liquida- tlon and efforts to secure profits. From The highest to the lowest point of the day there was a difference of 10q1S points: But in the main the feeling was very strong. The advance was based upon sensa tional ket made net gain of 6l2d10d on the clos ing of Saturday. Orders from Great Brit ain and the southeast for enormous quan tbties of cotton, chiefly to cover short con tracts, were received. Southern buyins orders were also abundant and soutl1eri spot market reports came as strong as a any time yesterday.
 The local market for spot cotton wa: officially reported as 3-1ec higher whilt later sellers were scarce at Ac advance The market was very active up to the close of business and finished very firm at an advance of 176I3S points
