change building under consideration has

The paving of BroughtOn street will ne

YESTERDAYS BAR MEETING.
Resolutions Adopted Favoring q NO"
Public Building for Savannah


Public Building for savannah
The Savannah Bar Association met yes
terday morning in the United states
court room for the purpose OF RECEIVING
the reports of the committees appointed
al the last meeti ng. Capt. 5. 7. Levy
acted as chairman and W. w. Fraser,
Esq, as secretary.
col. William Garrard, Capt. Robert
| FalIigapt, Col. Rufus K. Lester, Capt. H..
c. Cunningham ana A. X. Lawton. Jr.,
ESQ, presented resolutions favoring the
erection OF a new public building.
The resolutions stated that the present
/ court room Of the Federal Courts, in the
/ second story OF the custom house, is I'M
suitabl in every respect. Its location is
most unfortunate, being on one OF the
most prominent corners of Bay street, the
principal commercial thorOughfare OF Sa-
vannah. The noises OF the street, espe-
cially the rafting or drays and wagons
over the stones, seriously interfere with
the trial of causes, so much SO that special
policemen have to be stationed TO cause
the speed Of passing vehicles 10 be lessen
ed, and even with this aid and with closed
windows ii is with great difficulty that
court or counsel can be heard. The court
room is too small. The jury room is
small, with no conVeniences. The rooms
for Judges, clerks and district attorney
are entirely inadequate for the present
scope Of business, and other rooms are
needed, not only for juries and officials,
but also for attorneys and for the safe
keeping and preservation OF the public
records.
2. That II is absolutely necessary for
the proper administration of justice that
other and more ample and convenient
quarters be provided at as early date as
possible for the Federal Courts.
The Senators and members OF Congress
from Georgia were urged to do all they
can to secure the appropriation of $780,
900. The committee will transmit copies
Of the resolutions to Senator Brown and
Congressman Norwood.
The committee on the judicial salary
bill reported paper strongly advocating
the passage of the bill which provides for
the increase OF the salary Of United States
District Court Judges 10 $1,000 a year.
Copies of the resolutions will be sent to
Congress and the Senate.
The meeting also Endorsed the recent
order Of the court authorizing the clerk
to put in order the records and documents
which are strewn about an upper room
in the customshouse building.

FINE WORK WITHDETROIT
A GAME WHICH MANY PEOPLE
BELIEVED A TIE.

/ Victory Finally Falls to the visitors by
Score or to 2-Twirlsr Baldwin
Proves the Greatest PuzzIer Yet Pitted
Against Savannah.
Baldwin's puzzling delivery was the
principal factor in accomplishing savan-
nah's defeat at the hands OF Detroit yes
terday by score Of to = in a game
which was prsttily played on each side.
Baldwin delivers with his left hand and in
two distinct styles-one over the should
er, and the other almost on
line with the knee-each of
which proved exceedingly effective.
He faced the home nine with more sue
cess than any one yet pitted against them
this season, eleven men being struck out
and only two safe hits being made off
him. He was we'll caught by Hall and
Bennett, the former being compelled 10
retire from the field after the sixth in
ming on account Of split fingers. The
helding OF the visitors was considerably
better than In the previous game, but not
much opportunity was presented
for brilliant work. A one hand
ed pick up OF lively
grouuder by White, on which he threw
the batsman out at first was accorded
deserved applause.
sAVANNAH's WORK.
The fielding OF the home nine was up 10
the satisfactory standard of the previous
games. Moriarity and Gillen again
proved their effectiveness as a battery,
and the work Of Miller at short, Strict at
second, Murray on third and Fields on
first base was all that could be desired,
the playing of Miller being noticeably
good. Miller's brilliant work is making
good impression and he is also proving
one OF the best batteTs on the club. He
assisted Strict and Fields and Collins on
two occasions in making fine double
plays at critical points in the game. The
entire out-feld was covered without an
error. In the seventh inning the UNI
pire's decision that Strict failed to touch
runner forced from first to sec
ond before throwing the striker
out at first was considered erroneous
by the spectators. II the decision had
been reversed the score of the game would
have been 2 and 2, with rain preventing
play after the ninth inning.
THE SCORE.

A talk with real estate dealers devel.
bpes the fact that the annual building
boom has about commenced. In every
portion Of the city where wooden build
ings can be erected, is beard the sound OF
the hammer and the saw. Citizens who
have been saving their means TOR years,
seems 20 have concluded that never before
could homes be built more cheaply, and
are ayailing themselves of this condition
Of things. Vacant lots are very scarce
and are daily becoming more scarce.
There is but one result 10 expect and
that is higher prices for lots. IL will be
some time before the land south Of Ander-
son street can be made available. A few
months more and vacant lots Will conf
mand higher prices than ever before.
Lfen now, a careful examination OF the
situation will show that there are but
very few vacant lots on the market OK

STORM SIGNALS UP.
Storm from Indiana Travelling in
This Direction.


Savannah had its first thunder storm Of
the season last night. A heavy rain fell
between and Z O'Clock. The weather
during the day was threatening and a
heaVy storm was predicted.
Al O'Clock the red signal was hoisted
at the signal station. The Washington
bureau stated that storm was central
during the afternoon in Indiana and was
moving in this direction.
Inc observer on duty last night said
that u is very unusual for storm to
move IN the direction that the signal
bureau reports the Indiana movement to
be travelling.
1t is hardly probable that the storm
last night was the effect Of the storm in
Ine west or that it will reach here.
storm has been moving northeastward
from the Gulf States fer day or two and
u was probably this disturbance that
savannah felt. At II o'clock last night,
when the last observation was taken here,
IL was clear weather at all Of the eastern
ana Western Gulf States and throughout
the peninsula.
a cool wave ID following the storm and
there is likely to be fall of several de-
grees in temperature along the South At
lantic coast.

The sale of seats for "The Wages of
Sin" on Wednesday and Thursday nights
Will begin tomorrow night. The piece is
by Frank Harvey, an English dramatist.
In the British provinces it has been con-
tinuOusly performed for the past three
years. The plot is related fOrcibly and
simply. The development is natural and
the ends Of sequence and probability are
carefully conserved. The parts furnish
variety, contrast and originality. The
leading roles are drawn in bold outline
the comedy element is novel and exDan-
siVe. The dramas effectiveness solely de-
ponds upon the strength of its plot and the
eapability of its actors. A girl makes a
serious mistake, at the outset Of the play,
by supposlng that the man she loves is
unworthy, and therefore marrying another
sutton. She becomes an abused, impover-
ished and desperate wife and mother; and
under the stress OF abjsct misery, for the
sake Of her babe, she commits a theft.
The rest Of the piece is composed of her
punishment.

Opposing to a 5O.Cent schedule

Editor Morning NewS: In the NEWS Of
to-day we note reference to the effect
that the Savannah Base Ball Association
has under advisement the feasibility Of
increasing the price OF admission to the
park for gentlemen to 90 cents for all
league games. 1t is true that these league
games are as yet some time distant,
but it will be as well for a
positive understanding TO be had
on this point now. 1t was
found unnecessary last season TO charge
more than DC. admission TO any OF the
Southern League games, and then no
charge whatever was made for ladies.
We approve Of the addition OF this latter
charge, considering free access TO the
grand stand a sufficiently great induce
ment TO insure the attendance Of the fair
sex, but must file protest against any
increase in the price OF admission for
those to whom the association must main
ly look for support. We believe that any
such course will eventually result in ex-
Guiding the majority Of the regular base
ball patrons, and in any event Will reduce
materially the receipts.

ar THE THEATRE.
Lolita as Little Bright Eyes"-The Com.
ing Weeks Attractions.

ing Weeks Attractions.
Lolita played TO aaine audience yester-
day afternoon in ''Musette." AS winning
and lively as ever, she won repeated APP
plause. The play is familiar one to
theatre-goers. "Little Bright Eyes, is
one Of Lotta's great parts. In it she is as
attractive as ever in the things which
have chiefly given her fame. She is not
as ambitious as formerly in singing, but
her dancing and lively sayings and the
pretty mannerisms which have held her
a favorite on the stage for two decades
are still hers. The feature of Lotta's
acting is originality. Her style is her
own, and no one has ever successfully
initiated 1t. The audience that saw her
yesterday was dissatisfied because the
play was not longer.
