THEPLANS SETTLED UPON
THE NEW HOTEL TO COST A ROUND
QUARTER OF A MILLION.

w. q. Preston Engaged as Architect
and the Plans and Specifications to
be Prepared at Once-The Removal
of the Old Barracks buildings to
Begin in q Month and Ground for the
New Gotal to be Broken November
1t was nearly 2:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon when the new hotel directors ad-
journed. They had been in session from
$3.50 o'clock in the morning, TO which
hour they adjourned the night be-
fore. At Que time it had the
the appearance of a deadlock as to the
adoption of the report Of the building com
mittee There vas a very strong opposi-
ton TO some of the details of the plans, and
also as to what the hotel should cost. 1t
was decided at last, however, to instruct
the building committee TO engage Mr., w.
G. Preston Of Boston as the architect, and
that the hotel should occupy the Bull and
Liberty streets fronts of the block on which
it is TO be built, and that it should cost
$3.50, 900.
After these matters we're settled, Mr.
Preston 10y invitation, appeared before the
directors and the building committee in
Joint meeting and the plans were examined
In detail The changes determined upon
by the directors were explained and other
matters were arranged. Mr.. Preston will
submit plans with the changes made as d.
rected, in the course Of ten days or two
weeks
The Bull street elevation of the hotel, &C
cording to the plans prepared by Mr..
Preston, has been placed on exhibition at
Theus' jewelry store, whore the public will
have an opportunity Of seeing what Savan-
nah's new hotel will look like,
Mr.. H. Nj. Conner, president Of the hotel
company, was seen after the adjournment
Of the board, and he seemed to be very
much elated that it had reached a solution
of the case. and a plan had been agreed upon
satisfactory 10 all.
Mr.. Conner says that it will be about two
months before the detail drawings and spec
ifcations can be completed but in the
meantime preparations will be made to be
ready for them when they are done
Within a month the removal Of all the
structures on the new hotel site except the
building on Drayton street, will be begun.
1t is the intention TO utilize all the material
in the old buildings that can be worked into
the new. This will not only include brick,
but some of the lumber. The old build
ings, therefore, will not be sold.
The plan was TO break ground for the
new building by Nov l. The intention is
TO build at present hotel with $50 rooms,
200 of which are TO be finished in hard wood
and in the most modern style The fact
that Mr.. Conner says the building on Day
ton street will not be demolished, may DO
taken to mean that if the present plan is
not found to afford sufficient accommoda-
ton, then a wing fronting on Drayton street
will take the place of the building on that
street.

The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but 1t doesn't go far. The purchasing
power Of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade In word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
30 on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides Of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated we tciu sell Uer1j
close to move some Of it. This is good
time renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer a line par eUcellence Of
Ladies fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains md
Charms, Gents Watches and Jewelry. etc
All Of these articles can be bought cneapar
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give noe. They
will keep, and you will save money.

TICKET-OF-LEAvE MEN.
Three Burglars and a Forger Sem
fenced by Judge Adams.


fenced by Judge Adams.
In tie superior court yesterday three
burglars aud forger pleaded guilty and
were sentenced by Judge Adams.
William Chafford for burglarizing q
store, was sentenced to eight years. The
judge took occasion to say that Chafford
evidently was professional law-breaker,
and he understood that other indictments
were pending against the culprit at Colum'
bus, Ga,
Dan Williams aud Ben Franklin, colored
cracksmen, were each sentenced to twelve
years. The court in abiding TO the seeming
severity Of the sentence in comparison with
the sentence Of Chafford, took occasion TO
say that Chafford in burglarizing store did
not expect to find any one in the building,
but that Williams and Franklin had entered
private residence, where they had reason
TO expect it was occupied and when, If oc-
casion had required, in order to escape with
their plumber they would not have scrupled
to take life.
Dan Williams, William Clifton's colored
office boy, who forged his employers name
to checks during Mr.. Clifton's absence at
Bruins wick was sentenced to three years at
hard labor.
When Chafford, the white burglar, heard
that his sentence was for eight years, it
seemed to relieve his depression. He had
expected a heavier sentence, and when
taken into the jury room the smile on bis
face widened into broad grin, and he did
not try to conceal his qualification.

Kelsen keeps stall No. u In the market,
and Rolling John, who is cotton long

ton of Williams by friend of Kelssn He
was prosecuted for drum fishing In South
Carolina, and yesterday he went to Kelsen's
stall TO talk over the matter. Kelsen ap-
piled some very rough epithets and as he
had his big flsh knife in his hands, "Rolling
John" very discreetly swallowed his wrath
Later on Kelsen had to cross st. Julian
street to get some change, and was halted
midway OF tho street by Williams, and an
apology demanded, which being refused,
thev soon came to blows, aud Kesen was
severely punished He Immediately took
out two warrants in Justice MOlna's court,
and when Rolling John heard he had
been warranted" as the term goes among
the negroes. he dropped in and gave bonds
for his appearance in the city court, and to
keep the peace.
