The NEW ST. JAMES.
A Handsome four-Story Brick Hotel to
be Erected by Mr.. Jacob Seitz,
at the Old Stand.
The Rame Project Abandoned-Pians of
the New Strueture-The once to
be On the Corner-Othsr
DetMils.

The tickets. almost 1000 in number,
which have been issued for the raflie of the
st. James hotel. this city, will be recalled,
and the rattle will not take place at all.
Mr.. Thomas Dugan. the proprietor, this
morning issued an order to that effect,
much to the satisfaction of the public in
general. many Of which do not countenance
raffies, or any other similar method Of gam
bling. In addition to this, there was no one
in Springfield but regretted the probable
departure from Springfield OF so good a
landlord and hctelman as Thomas Dugan.
His determination to remain in tie city
will be
HAILED BY THE BUSINESS PUBLIC
with much satisfaction: and this feeling
will be augmented when the statement is
made that Mr.. Dugan remains to become
proprietor Of magnificent, new st. james
hotel, which Mr.. Jacob Seitz, the owner Of
the property. has decided to erect. The de-
termination was reached last Saturday.
Mr.. Seitz has been revolving in his mind
for years past the project Of putting up q
new building At this point-the northeast
corner Of Main and Limestone streets. 1t
is one of the best locations in the city, and
. piece Of property OF great value. 1t has
BECOME so THOROUGHLY KNOWN
In Ohio - hotel location that 1t would be
business folly to attempt to devote it to any
thing else. Realizing this fact, Mr.. Seitz
wisely decided to put up handsome mod
ern house. and the work will be COM
menced next fall. with the demolition Of
the old building.
OF course, detailed plans have not yet
been decided upon. but Mr.. Seiiz has very
good idea Of what he wants. and has means
and facilities for carrying out his ideas.
He and Mr.. Dugan will
DEVOTE MUCH OF THE SUMNER
to consulting about plans and details of the
new building. and will inspect great mum
Der of hotel structures with the idea Of get
ting points.
These facts can be announced, however:
The building will be . four story brick
structure Of $50 rooms. The front will be
of GAINESVILLE pressed brick. with stone
trimmings. The ONCE will be located at
the corner Of the building where the
Springfield Seed company now ia. and be
lighted BY glass sides. The build
ing will be surmounted BY .
MANsARD ROOF
Of handsome design and very elegantly and
massively finished. 1t will contain all the
modern improvements throughout, and will
be one OF the very handsomest buildings In
the city. As now considered, the old name.
''St James," will be retained. Further
particulars will be given as they mature.
