MUST PUT UP LICENSES.
POLICE LOOKING AFTER DELIN-
QUENT LIQUOR DEALERS.

Over Two Hundred Dealers Who Have
Paid tho City Tax-Places Being Run
Without a LicenEe-A Probable Con-
test Between the City Authorities and
Deslers Who Live Beyond the City
Limits.
Beginning on next Monday, March !,
the police force will put on the informa-
ton docket the names of all liquor dealers
in the city who have not paid the license
for this year. Some time ago the police
were instructed TO look up all such
places, and every dealer was notified that
he must put up his city license in a%on-
spicuous place. No formal report was
made, but the municipal authorities init
mate that there are not ten places in the
city that are being kept open without the
proper license. Clerk of Council Frank
+. Rebarer says that 200 dealers, and per-
haps half dozen more, have paid the tax.
That is, that number have paid or have
given bond.
Altogether about 263 dealers in the
whole OF Chatham county have paid the
state tax. Thirty three of these are out
side the corporate limits of Savannah, but
in the taxation OF liquor dealers the City
Council claims Jurisdiction four miles out
on the White Bluff road. and lesser dis
tances on the other roads. The city will
probably try to collect the $500 tax from
nineteen dealers who are located in ter
ritory heretofore claimed by the county.
All OF the bars and retail and wholesale
places excepting fourteen are or will be
claimed by the city. That would give
Savannah say go dealers TO license. If
not more than POS have paid the tax, there
are left 40 places which are being run
without a city license.
Last year 3S4 dealers paid the State tax
in this county. Some "a paid the county
tax. The remaining 800 were claimed by
the city. 1t is estimated that from 80 to
"a failed to pay at all. The revenue to
the city from liquor dealers was in round
numbers $4,000. If the 200 who have
licenses all pay up in full, the city is as
sured of 100000, less the discount for
prompt payment. That would be an in
crease OF more than $20,000 IN revenue
over 1855. Could the city collect the full
tax from each one OF the $50 dealers over
whom she has authority. the revenue
would reach the handsome amount OF
$75, 000-more than double the sum de-
rived from the same source last year.
A gentleman, speaking on the subject
yesterday, remarked that the city will
have trouble in collecting the tax for the
last three-quarters of the year. The trou-
BILE he apprehended will come, he said,
from the sureties given by those dealers
who paid only One-quarter of the tax at
the first of the year.
A contest is expected, too, between the
city and the dealers who live beyond the
city limits. The county tax is only 500,
and the dealers out in the country object
to paying $500 to the city, and some of
them are preparing to fight. If they eau
get of with paying the county tax they
will save 5000 apiece. A movement was
started looking to the formation of fund
with which to make test case. The
matter was discussed, but the fund, it is
understood, has not been raised.

NEW ROUTE TO FLORIDA.
NV Raj, FROM TROMASVILLE
TO TALLAHAsSEE

sproiectsd Road which Savannah busi-
ness Men are Asked so Aid in Building
rSavy yields OF Trade Waiting to be
Do,,aIoped-The Railroad Committed
ro,ference with the Board OF Trade
To Day.
Nossrs. e. A. Crawford, Il, s. Williams,
and g. W. Saxson, the Tallahassee delega-
ZION spent yesterday in working UP a
b,om for the projected Tallahassee and
FhornasVille railroad.
The gentlemen called on several bust
ness men, and in the afternoon they had a
conference with Col. H. S. Haines, gen.
pral manager of the Plant railway system.
They reported finding the sentiment OF
those they met markedly in favor Of the
project. From Col. Haines they received,
besides an assurance of assistance from
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
wav Company, much practical infOrma-
lion. To-day at II a. m, they will
meet the Savannah Board of
Trade, and will present their
project to that body. AS yet the movers
have not organized a company and there
Is. therefore, no stock to be subscribed TO
at present.
mir. Williams stated confidently last
night that the road will be built and will
be in running order within year. The
line will be 80 miles long. A number Of
surveys have already been made. One
route is along the tops OF some ridges.
Another route was surveyed through the
low country. The best route, without re-
gard te first cost is the one which the
mem bers of the committee prefer and
which they have been advised TO adopt.
Mr.. Williams thinks that the road can
be built and equipped for $4,000 per mile.
That would make the total cost $350,000.
The country through which 1t is projected
is a fertile. productive, agricultural sec
tion, excellently adapted for truck rails
ing and market gardening.
By the proposed line Savannah and Tai
1ahassee would be only seven hours apart |
IN time. Now they are thirty-One hours
apart. Mail which leaves Savannah at 7 |
a m, does not reach Tallahassee until |
p. NJ. the next day. By rail Savannah |
and ThOmasville are 200 miles apart. In
time they are six hours. 1t is claimed
that the new line will put Savannah as
close TO Tallahassee as Jacksonville is |
now.
The delegation made a strong point to |
the merchants on the delay Savannah |
freight is subjected to. Mr.. Williams
mentioned an instance when piano was
eleven days IN getting from Savannah to
Tallahassee by way Of Jacksonville. |

This evening, as il we're, and we will get |

By bringing that section in such close |

field of trade would be extended, and the |
fRllahasseeans say that Savannah ought |

The arrest of a suspicious character
upon his general appearance, movements
or companionship, without waiting until
he has robbed traveller, fired a house, or
murdered fellow man, is an important
function of a shrewd detective. Even
more important is the arrest of disease

destroy human life. The frequent cough,
loss OF appetite, general languor or de-

Frozen Northwest.
At6O'clock last night the signal OBJ
server here was instructed from Wash
ington to hoist the cold wave signal. The
order was accompanied by the cheerful in
formation that a cold wave is bound
south. The Washington Bureau
further predicted that the tempera-

deg. Allowing the temperature of 8
deg. it may sink to 40 on the arrival of
the chilly wave. The highest tempera-
ture yesterday was 20 deg. After the rain
began mercury dropped slowly until at
midnight it stood at the 81 mark. The
rain was general throughout this section,
reaching from the mouth OF the Chesa-
peake down The coast to Savannah in the
afternoon.
During the day the wind blew from
every quarter at different times except
rom the points between northwest and
west. At midnight il was blowing from
the west. Although they had no positive
Information at the Signal office as to when
the rain would stop, the local manipula-
tors OF the weather thought there would
be let up to-day.

Buffalo and Marquette. At the same hour
Galveston was being treated TO a thun-
der gust. At Duluth, Mimi, mercury

OAK, was 3 deg. warmer than Chicago.
From Boston to Washington there was
