Lime Water for Streets.

From the London Chronicle.
DR.. A Eddowes, writing to a medical
journal. suggests that the use OF lime
water. prepared fresh. for watering the
streets in hot weather would prove to be
a practice productive of sanitary comfort.
The advantages claimed for the practice
are said to be those first of aggregating
together loose particles OF manure and thus
to prevent them from being diffused by the
wind: second. Of exercising certain anti
septic action: third, of preserving wood
paving. and fourth. of rendering wood less
slippery. The idea should be worth con-
siJering by the local authorities entrusted
with the care of the streets and cner-
getic surveyor might make trial OF Dr. Ed
doves plan on an experimental basis. Lime.
we are told, is employed near Vienna Tor
the disinfection of sewage Collected in
one OF three tanks, a days sewage is mix
ed with fresh milk of lime in the propor-
tion of from to per cent. The mixture
settles for forty-eight hours. then the clear
effluent water is drained Off The sediment
remaining is used as manure. Its value in
this latter direction Is alleged to be great.
The effiuent was said to be clearer than the
water in adjoining mountain streams. /
may remark that lime has long Seen used
for purifying sewage. From six to twelve
grains Of lime are employed per gallon of
sewage. The objection to this method is the
rapid putrefaction Of the sewage IL too
much lime is added, while 1t Is said that
as the organic matters in suspension are
alone affected, puriication Is detective, and
the manure of no value.

COST OF STREET LIGHTING.
Variations In Price i'm the Municipnii-
ties of New Jersey.

FROM the Newark News
The Municipal Journal and Engineer. in
it's May number, publishes statistics as to
the cost of street lighting in a number OF
New Jersey municipalities. Considerable
range In prices is shown. but not always
in the way that would be naturally expect
ed on the scale of population. Newark. for
instance, with population OF 246.o7o. and
using 1,73s arc lamps. pays for them at the
rate of 1856, while Beverly. with a popu-
lation Of only 1850. and using but thirty
two lights pay s95 year each. In both
instances the candle power is the same
1900. Patterson's showing Is worse than
Newark's, that city paying sl02 for each
lamp. while 1t costs Jersey City SO a lamp.
forty-fve cents more than Newark The
highest cost Of all is in Camden, where the
city pays s120 a year for the same service
that little Beverly gets for $50.
In the matter of gas the variations are
still greater. Newark pays $40 a year for
twenty-candle power burners, Patterson SlS
for sixteen-power burners, Trenton SIS for
seventypower burners and Jersey City $50
for siXty-power burners. If the real cam
die power in each case is equal TO the NOM
inal candle power, both Trenton and Jer-
sey City are getting their gas much cheap
er than this city. Trenton gets three and
one-half times the candle power at less
than one-third more cost, while for about
fifty per cent additional cost Jersey City
gets three times the Illumination.
Further comparing Jersey City and New
ark, Ii Is evident that the lamps used in
the former city have a greater Illuminating
power, or else its streets are insufficiently
lighted. For its 2o1. % miles of streets II
has i41 gas and 1859 electric lights,
total of l,Sol. Newark with 2g7 miles OF
streets, has 202O gas and 1,136 electric
lights. a total of 3.7J6. Jersey City aver
ages about nine lamps to the mile and
Newark sixteen. According to the figures
above given Jersey City pays Sl4S.050 a
year for street lighting and Newark

In typhoid fever the germs are not given
of from the breath, mouth secretions or
skin. but are confined to the bowel dis
charges and the secretion of the kidneys.
IL these discharges be perfectly disinfected
and ordinary cleanliness be observed as re-
CARDS the patients surroundings there is
little fear OF Infection. We get typhoid
fever from water or milk into which the
germs of the ailment have been allowed to
escape. Thus what gives II to one in the
case Of an epidemic gives 1t to all. A pol
iuted water supply with millions of germs

these are eaten infection IL naturally con-
yeyed. Many cases OF this kind were noted
few years ago. and one good effect of the
warning thus given has been the greater
care exercised by purveyors Of oysters IN

WAS HE A SAVANNAH MAN?
An Alleged Murder Committed Near
Fleming.

Fleming, Liberty County, Ga. Oct.
9.-An inquest was held to-day over
the remains of a white man, unknown
to any one here. He was found about
oneAthird of mile from the station
towards Savannah, in the woods just
outside of the right-of-w of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
years of age. He had on black felt
hat and lace shoes rather old. There
was nothing found to identify him by,
as his clothing was nearly burned of
him. and he was very badly mutilated
by hogs and buzzards. He was seen
by several persons on Sunday two
miles below or towards Savannah. The
last seen of him alive was by Samuel
Clark about one-half mile from where
his dead body was found. This was
about $3.50 o'clock, p. M, Sunday. He
told Mr.. Clark he was a carpenter from
Savannah, and was on his way to
Jacksonville to get work, and had
sprained his ankle, so he could walk
but slowly. He did not tell his name
to any one that talked with him. Mr..
Clark gave him some potatoes, and he
came about one-half mile. then turned
off the road and built a fire. The sec
ton master passed the spot at $50 a.
m. Monday, the next morning, and saw
a bright fire that had the appearance
of being freshly started. but saw no
man about. The people passing all
day yesterday saw smoke at the place,
but no one about. Tuesday morning a
negro who was passing saw the buzz
yards congregating and a hog eating
something, supposed to be a cow or
hog that had been struck by A train,
went to investigate, and found it to be
a man. He went TO the station and no
titled the people. ]. B. Clark, justice of
the peace, acted as coroner, and en-
panneled a jury. with John Axtell as
foreman. The jury came to the con-
clusion that a murder had been COM
mitted. The right side of the head
was completely crushed, the jawbone
broken and the skull crushed. A
large pool of blood not yet coagulated
was under the body.
There was nothing left on his person
except a pipe and few tacks in a box,
a small hone or milestone. The YER
dict was killed by party unknown to
the jury.

IN MEMORIAM.

The committee appointed to draw up
resolutions on the death of Commits
sioner NJ. J. solonons. beg leave to re-
port the following:
Moses J. Solomon was born Feb. 10,
1929, in Georgetown, S. c., and died
Sept. 2, 1901. in Savannah, Ga.
For fifty years he was a citizen of
Savannah, and during that time occu-
pied many positions of honor and trust;
sometimes by popular vote, but gener-
ally by selection of his friends and
compeers.
While always alive to his duties as
citizen and pronounced in his views
of public policies. he never engaged in
scramble for Office for himself, nor vio-
lated social amenities in opposing the
ambitions of his fellows. He was es-
sentially a gentleman.
In things that tended the growth and
prosperity of the home of his adoption
(the only home he ever knew he was
the earnest and honest champion of all
that was best for it's permanent pros
perity.
He was not only friend to all the
municipal charities, but a contributor
to all charities, whether social, politi-
cal or religious. at home or abroad.
His charity was bounded by no state
or national lines. by no synagogue,
church or sectary
In his social life he was genial. He
loved to live. Life was bright and
happy to him. and he made it bright
and beautiful to those around him.
And so. after trying to live just life,
atoning for his shortcomings by his eff
forts to make others happy, he COM
mended his soul to God and laid him
down to die.
His connection with the Park and
Tree Commission was brief. lasting
from the date of his appointment. dec.
2S, 1900, to the date of his death, Sept.
2, 1901.
In this short time he gave earnest
proof of his ardent desire to do all he
| could to beautify and adorn the city.
The department to which he was as
signed had all his care and attention,
and all the means at his command
were employed to make his work salts
factory and permanent.
In his intercourse with his brother
| commissioners he was courteous,
thoughtful, consk1erate and liberal.
1t is. therefore, with sad apprecia-
ton of the worth of the man and the
loss of the community that it is
Resolved, That in the death of Moses
j. Solomons the Park and Tree Com
mission loses an accomplished mem
Der, whose aim was to make the work
of the commission valuable and endur-
| ing, the city loses a citizen whose best
efforts were extended for its advance
ment, and his friends lose a friend who
was a sharer in their joys and a sym
pathizer in their sorrows.
Resolved, further, That page of the
minute book be inscribed to his mem
DRY and copy of this memorial be en-
crossed and sent to his family.

COTTON DAMAGED by RAIN.
Orange Groves at Gambler, Fla. Are

Being Pnt Under Sheds.
Gambler, Fla, Oct. 9.-After an al
most unprecedented spell of rainy
weather. it has at last cleared up, and
the cotton crpo, or what is left of it..
can now be picked. The crop here has
been damaged greatly by the long spell
of wet weather. On low bottom lands
the crop is almost ruined.
In many fields water stood for days
from six inches to two feet deep. For
three weeks ii rained very nearly every
day, and on several occasions it poured
down for twenty-four hours. Fall gar
dens will nearly all have to be planted
over, and strawberry setting has been
greatly delayed.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
mammoth shed which Is being erected

j. Y. Mckinney, who has the contract,
has been saving lumber for the past
three months for this shed, and the one
he will build at Weiaka, in Putnam
county. over a million feet of lumber
will be used. 1t is proposed to grow
pine apples under these sheds as well
as oranges, for after they are once
built the control of the temperature
is very easy matter.

the sheriff and a Deputy.
Madison, Fla, Oct. SWIM Jones,
a negro outlaw, is in Jail here serious
~ wounded after having experienced
enc of the most desperate fights with
a posse of officers ever known in Flor
ida. Immediately preceding his fight
with the officers Jones killed woman
because of jealousy of man. Sheriff
Armstrong was notified of the murder
of the woman in the southeastern part
of the county, and with deputies, hur-
ried to the scene. He found that the
woman had been shot down as she sat
by the side of her husband in her home,
and that Jones had escaped to the
woods.
The outlaw in the meantime, in his
night, had run upon Dan Anderson. a
white man who was hunting, and be-
lieving the man an officer had without
warning shot him down. Jones was
finally surrounded in vacant house,
but kept the small posse at bay with
his rife and finally escaped. The sher-
iff increased his posse and resumed
the hunt this morning, following the
trail for miles. Jones was finally sur
rounded in a live oak prairie near
Higdon. At the sight of the posse the
outlaw opened fire, and a vigorous
fusilade continued for several min
utes. When the smoke had cleared,
Sheriff Armstrong and Deputy Var
borough were both wounded. one ball
striking the former in the head.
Neither officer, however. is fatally
wounded. The negro outlaw was also
found PROSTATE in his own blood with
several wounds in his body. He is yet
alive.
