TO KILL The SMELL
FISH SCRAP NUISANCE MAY BE
ABATED.
TO DEoDoRIzE VESSELS.
DEAD LINE WILL BE DRAWN ON
EACH SIDE OF CITY, TOO.

Frequent Complaint from Those
Whose NoStriIs Are Offended Has
Resulted in the Board of Sanitary
Commissioners Taking the Matter
Up-NOthing Objectionable Can BE
Found from Purely Sanitary
Were Considered in Reaching a
Conclusion.
Fish scrap may not force Savannah
ians to say bad words and smell bad
smells very much longer.
This information viii bring joy to
the nostrils of almost every man, wom-
an and child in the city. To those
who have lost the sense of smell the
news will be received with indiffer-
ence, but even those who have a cold
be happy--for the odor that arise from
fish scrap in penetrating and cannot
be evaded by anyone who possesses
all five senses.
At a meeting of the Board of SAM
tary Commissioners cognizance has
been taken of the wall that has gone
up from thousands of Savannahians.
No End of Complaints.
Complaint upon complaint has been
filed at the City Exchange and Health
Officer Drummer was asked for an opin-
ion as to the dangers of bringing FISH
scrap into port. DR. Drummer stated
that the product could not be con-
demned from a sanitary standpoint.
He had never been able to discover
any disease that could be even re-
motely traced to the scrap, unless II
was nausea.
The health officer however. was not
unmindful of the many complaints that
had reached his ear and agreed that
the scrap was just about the worst
smelling thing in existence. The fact
that the product is necessary in the
manufacturing of fertilizer was reeog-
niZed by the commissioners and there
was no disposition to force the scrap
out of this port. 1t was suggested
that arrangement could be made 10
keep vessels loaded with the stuff east
IL Bilbo canal and west of the west
ern end of the Ocean Steamship Com
panys wharves.
To DcOdOrize Vessels.
After the cargoes have been dis
charged and the vessels are ready TO
be loaded with lumber at the wharves
between the points mentioned, they will
be deodorized. and in this way II is
believed the nuisance will be abated
This plan will be followed and those
who handle the scrap have been noti-
fed of the decision of the Sanitary
Commissioners. In the event that he
scheme does not work the matter will
be again discussed.
Although war is being waged on the
fish scrap in other ports the city au-
thorities are loath to run the product
out OF Savannah when II is so neces-
saryl in the manufacturing of fertill-

Yesterday morning Manager Edes
assured the members that transporta-

ready for the steamer. All except Miss
Kingston and the maid were able to
make ARRANGEMENTS to secure enough
mony for their passage in the event
the portation failed to arrive in
time. Firmly believing that every
thing had been arranged. the two went
to the steamer with the others and
went on board, but at the last min
ute they were told the transportation
had at arrived, and they would have
to go ashore. Miss Kingston offered
some trinkets in exchange for passage,
but these, of course, were refused. Mr..
Edes offered to put up a diamond scarf
pin, which was also refused
VIII Give n Recital.
Miss Kingston could have secured
money enough for her passage, but
would not leave her maid, who speaks
little English. AfteR the steamer had
sailed she sought arrangements where
by she could give recital by which to
realize enough money to pay her pas
sage and that of the maid and stage
carpenter, Joseph Behan, back to New
York H
Miss Kingston is an eloeutionist of
ability, and has given readings at the
Waldorf Astoria and other places in
New York. She has arranged to give
a recital at the Guard Armory to-
night. though arrangements could not
be made at a late hour last night for
the use of the hall. 1t is believed, how
ever, that there will be little trouble
in securing it. If enough money is
realized in this way the stranded three
will sail for New York by the next
steamer.

MANY ARE MARRYING IN
INDIAN SUMMER DAYS.
September Vies With June in Num-
Der of Matrimonial Ventures.

Der of Matrimonial Ventures.
The Hymenean inclination has been
particularly strong during the past
month, and while the number of tick
cts to connubial bliss have not been
as numerous as they were in June, the
favored month of Cupid, they were,
nevertheless, particularly in evidence,
the season considered.
One hundred and forty souls were
made happier and 40 names were in
scribed upon the highly decorated IL
censes issued by Judge McAlpin in the
Court of Ordinary. If necessity is the
first law Of nature the numerousness
of the tickets purchased by those of
cafe au lait or chocolate complexion may
be readily accounted for. There is no
gainsaying the fact that the Calvin
Vagrancy law drove many to matrI-
mony. In Macon fifty licenses were
granted in one day on this account.
But the execution of the determine
ton to have and to hold Cor to have,
and to have to hold-as the case might
be- among the Saxon kind. is alto
gether inexplicable, unless it be one of
the happy results of the prevailing and
increasing prosperity. While there has
been some rumor of discontinue &C.
casioned by the publication of the Ii
Censes from day to day, it seems that
it has not been a barrier to those on
matrimony bent, and the number OF
contracts for veal or woe seem 10
be even more numerous than in the
days when the public were not kept
appraised of the designs of modern
Romeos and Juliets.
