sAyANNAH's HEALTHY SUMMER
Very Little sickness Exists Among
white People.

Savannah is distressingly healthy
just now" was the comment of a well
known physician yesterday. That is
from professional standpoint. Of
course" he added. II don't mean to
say, though, that physicians want
everybody sick, as some people suppose
we do. That is not so. On the con-
trary / am glad to be able to say that
there is as little, If not less sickness
in Savannah than l have known In
years"
Several other physicians made the
same statement. A few people who
have been out of town for the summer
have come back i'll, but that is about
all. The death rate for some time has
teen small among white people though
among colored the opposite condition
of affairs seems TO exist.
Health officer w. F. Rrunner was
asked about the city's health, and his
answer was that the conditions are
excellent among the white people. Let
the physicians who say there Is little
illness now turn their practice 10 the
eolOred people, and they will find
plenty to do" Dr. Drummer added.
There Is much disease among them
I do not know when the proportion Of
total deaths for 50 much Of year as
has passed has shown so many ne
gr0es Thus far there have been about
200 whites 20 die as against about $50
cOiOred people"
The low mortality among whites and
the little sickness that exists il q cause
for grauAcation.

MAY OPEN STREETS
THAT Is THE OPINION OF THE CITY
ATTORNEY.
SUBMITTED TO ACTING MAYOR
AGREEMENT WITH COAST LINE
ATTORNEYS SOUGHT.

Thirty-ninth Street Case, Launched
by Col. J. II. EstilI and MIR. C. HI.
Dorsett, Induced Acting Mayor
Dixon to Ask Mr.. Adams for an
opiniOn-Thts Was to the Effect
That the City Has the Right to
Omen the streets Across the Coast
Line Tracks, Either by Agree
ment with the Company or Con-
domination Proceedings Other
streets Than Thirty-ninth May BE
Opened as Residents Desire, Mr..
Dixon Says.
No bar against the opening of east
midwest streets across the tracks of
the Atlantic Coast Line exists. This
was shown in an opinion given Acting
Mayor Dixon by S. B. Adams, Esq,
city attorney. yesterday morning.
Does this mean that any streets not
now open may be opened by the city?"
Mr.. Dixon was asked.
Yes" he replied. "the city will open
the streets as soon as it is found that
the people of the neighborhoods af-
fected DESIRE"
The opinion of the city attorney was
asked by Mr.. Dixon after Col. ]. H.
EstiI and Mr.. c. H. Dorset, who own
property east of the tracks, called up
on him to ascertain why Thirty ninth
street might not be opened and a road
way established across the tracks.
These gentlemen claim that they have
a right to roadway there under the
original contract by which the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad secured the prop
erty.
on May 5. 1895. the city entered into
a contract with the Plant System,
agreeing not to open streets across the
tracks in a certain section for five
years. This term has, of course, ex-
pired, and Mr.. Adams showed that
there is no bond that binds the city to
permit the streets to continue closed.
1t was shown by Mr.. Adams that the
city now has a right to proceed by
reaching some agreement with the
company for opening the streets, and,
that plan failing, to institute condem-
nation proceedings. Acting upon this
advice. Mr.. Dixon has already address,
ed letter to the attorneys of the
Coast Line, indicating the desire of
the city to open Thirty ninth street 1t
- |hOuShl that Tie CIly anu tn6 cOIl-
pany will readily agree
As with the east and west streets,
so with the orth-and-south, and no
bar to the opening of any streets across
the tracks now exists. The East Side
Improvement Club yesterday filed a
petition with the City Council for the
opening of Habersham street, between
Thirty-seventh and Thirty eighth,
across the tracks. The petition sets
forth that such an opening would af-
ford continuous thoroughfare from
Bay street to Estill avenue; that
wide section of rapidly developing
property would be placed in easier
touch with the older portion of the
city, and that the Habersham street
car line would be made far more &C.
&C ssible for residents east of the tracks.

AFTER THE ANARCHISTS.
Paterson IN. J.) Business Men Form
Vigilance Committee.

Paterson, N. j., June 21.-Mayor
Hinchcliffe seems to be in complete
control of the situation here, backed
as he is by the entire peace controlling
force of the city and county and
goodly portion of the state militia. The
soldiers presence has had deterrent
effect upon the reds and they are not
in evidence in the city.
The troops still remain on duty all
night and are relieved by the deputies
in the morning. No troops will do
duty in the daytime unless there
should be serious trouble.
An organization has been completed,
composed of fifty wealthy business
men of this city, to be known to the
public as the Paterson vigilance COM
mittee, but the membership and pro-
ceedings are not to be made public.
Private detectives have already been
engaged to shadow the leading reds.
The anarchists are to be induced to
leave Paterson quietly If possible. If
they do not go the committee is said
to have its own plan for action. One
! of the methods to be employed is said
to be the keeping of blacklist and
no matter where in Paterson man
on it obtains work his employer will
be notified to dismiss him.

LOOKS LIKE PANAMA ROUTE.
Conferees Will Probably Agree to SEN
ate Amendment to Canal Bill.


Washington, June 21.-Soon after
the house had sent the canal bill to
conference reports gained circulation
among members that there was not
likely to be a protracted struggle IN
conference and that the senate amend
ment probably would be the basis OF
the ultimate agreement. One OF the
house conferees, Mr.. Fletcher OF Min
nesota. frankly stated to his associates
that he thought an agreement would
be reached on the Panama amendment.
Chairman Hepburn, however, was not
prepared to concede that the light was
over. He cited the fact that the vote
In the house had been practically unan-
imous in favor of the Nicaragua bill,
only two adverse votes being cast.
The Democratic conferee, Judge DaVey
of Louisiana, also was counted on as
strongly favorable to the Nicaragua
route At the same time the lateness
of the session and the prevailing de-
sire to avoid further complications IN
the senate led to rather general feel
ing among the members OF the house
that the senate amendment had some
thing of an advantage in the confer
ence.

ference Mr.. Hepburn went to the sen

afterward, the passengers in the coach
just behind the smoker were given a
tremendous shock, and realized from
the jolting of the car, and the strin-
ing and creaking of the timbers' that
they were off the track when the car
stopped then rushed out and found
the mail Car, two express cars, and
the smoker lying across the track
crushed and heaped in the utmost
confusion. The engines stood head to

crushed one boiler rammed into the

it escaped from the boilers, and one
whistle screamed incessantly so that
man near it could hardly hear his

had emptied their contents into the
cabs of their engines, wholly or parti

press cars on the west bound train
were wholly wrecked, and a mail Cal

FOR BURNING A COCKPIT.
Captain Wild Sentenced by Courtmar
tial to Be Reprimanded.

Captain Wlld sentenced py SouFtH'aT
tial to Be Reprimanded.
Manila, June 23.-Captain Frederick
S. Wild of the Thirteenth infantry has
been sentenced by courtmartlal to be
reprimanded for the burning of ma
tive cockpit at Lingayen, province Oh
Paneasinan, Luzon.
It is presumed that the soldiers OF
Captain Wild's command burned this
cockpit from motives of revenge for
the attempted killing of two OF their
comrades by natives. Mr.. Johnston,
civil Judge, wrote that soldiers had
been seen burning the cockpit and 1ntl-
mated in his letter that as result OF
his investigation of the matter Cap
tain Wild could give information OF
the occurrence. To this letter Captain
Wild replied that Mr.. Johnston's state
nent was unjust and that he knew
nothing of the burning OF the cockpit.
The captain added it was evident that
much more Importance was attached
by the provincial officials to the burn
ing of the cockpit than to the at
tempted assassination the same day
of two American soldiers.
In approving the findings OF the
courtmartial, which sentenced Captain
Wild to be reprimanded, General Chat
fee says the captain violated a gen,
eral order and did not show proper
respect to the civil authorities.
