THE NEW PUBLIC BUILDING.
Two Sites that Can be Exchanged for
the Barracks.


The dispatch in yesterdays MORNING
News about the public building site was very
encouraging to the gentlemen who have
charge of the new hotel project. 1t is IN
derstood that the refusal of two eligible
sites for the public building has been in
their hands for a week or more. One Of
the sites is that which was first selected by
the agent of the Treasury Department
the Dr. Hops property, at the corner Of
Butt and South Broad streets, and the ad-
joining lot 1t is not improbable that this
property will be offered at once and there is
very little doubt that it will be at once
accepted.
Judge 5peer and several others who have
been strong advocates Of the barracks site.
it is stated will unite with the committee
in its efforts 81 have the public buIdng
located on the DR.. Hops property. Should
any unforeseen difficulty arise about that
place there are two others that VIII do
almost as well.
The committee is keeping IFS own coun-
sells in regard to this important matter and
the public will probably know nothing
definite until all arrangements are per
fected.
The people are very anxious to have the
question settled ms to the site for the hotel as
well as to have the public building muddle
cleared no. From present appearances they
viii rot have very long to wait before both
of these important public matters are
faVorablv settled.

The theatre has seldom had week OF
stronger attractions than this. Booth and
Barrett and the Mendelssohn Quintette
Concerts have already taxed theatre goers
quite heavy and many pocket will ache

their subscription lists have been filed and
the reserved Seat diagram shows over 800
seats sold for each performance. The CON

CHARGED WITH CRooKEDNEss.
Ralph L. Lilienthal Arrested for Lar
ceny After Trust.


ceny After Trust.
Ralph L. Lihenthal, junior member of
the defunct tobacco firm of Lilienthal g.
Son, has been arrested for larceny after
trust. He was taken before Magistrate
Molina, who bound him over TO the Supe-
rior Court in the sum of 81, 500 to answer to
the charge
The charge was made by Clayton P.
Miller, acting for A. j. Miller & Co, who
alleged that his firm Endorsed a note of
Lilienthal a. Son for 81 800 on Sept. -,
1897, which Ralph l.. Lilienthal was to
have discounted and return the result of the
discount 10 them in cash. Lilienthal's fail
ure to return TO Miller g. Co. with the
money induced them To inquire into the
matter aud when Lilienthal was asked
about it he said that lie had not had the
note discounted and had destroyed it. 1t is
claimed that he did have it discounted and
did not turn the money over.
Mr.. Lilienthal claims that the transaction
was purely a business matter, and that
there was no such understanding as Miller &,
20. allege. 1t was customary, he says, for
the two firms to exchange such accommo-
dations. A. j. Miller & Co. borrowed cash
money from Lilienthal g. Son frequently,
and had indorsed notes for them since the
transaction upon which the present suit is
based

he SHAVED BOOTHS Pa.
Barber Ingliss Receives a Call from
Booth and Barrett.

AYE, aye, sir Walk in gentlemen.
Boy, take the gentlemens hats. Come, get
a move ON YOU" said old man William
Ingliss, the Screven House barber, yester-
day as two distingue individuals entered
his place. "Have seats, gentlemen. What
can =. Wen, if here amt Mr.. Barrett.
Howdy, Mr.. Barrett"
A cordial handshake ensued between the
barber and one of the gentlemen, who was
Mr.. Lawrence Barrett. That gentleman
waved n declination Of the invitations TO
seats from a half dozen BARRIERS. He said
that Ingliss was an old friend who had
served him ON many occasions, and that he
had merely come in TO see him. Turning
he introduced his companion, Mr.. Edwin
Booth.
"Well, TIL declare, Mr., Booth, I'm proud
TO meet YOU said the old barber, with the
peculiar obeisance of the old-time negro,
which Is seldom seen nowadays. Il used TO
shave your pa over fifty years ago"
The remark evidently pleased the actor,
for he chatted pleasantly with the old man
for several minutes before the two took their
departure.
The barber was very proud Of the
visit. 1t was probably, the only call the
two tragedans made in the city. And his
eyes sparkled and his paranthetical legs
nearly danced as he condesceudingy told
the crowd Of BARRIERS:
"Nes, yes, ! used 70 shave that mans pa
away back yonder in "a, when | was
boy, working in Charleston. He used TO
come there and pend weeks at a time

THE CITY's FINANCES.
Taxpayers Talk About the New City
Assessor ent.


The new tax assessment is creating good
deal Of stir just now The books have been
open for several days for the inspection Of
those interested, and a crowd of anxious
citizens is TO be seen during the hours that
the City Trcasurer's office is open closely
scanning the long rows Of figures that show
too well what they are worth. There is
very little complaint, although IN
nearly every case the assessments
show an increase in values In the
newer part Of the city where there
have been many handsome improvements
since the last assessment book was made out,
the increase in values has been very great.
On some pieces of property i'll that section
the assessments have been doubled, and in
nearly every instance there is an increase of
from % to 80 Der cent. There has also been
considerable added to desirably located
down town property.
The general expression of opinion is
favorable. Some taxpayers say that they
are willing to pay additional taxes for the
reason that they now see that their money
is being judiciously expended in permanent
improvements
1t is stated that the total assessment is
about 5000, 900 higher than the assessors ex-
pected it to be, so that if there are any re-
auctions to be made they will not affect the
city's financial expectations,
Maj. Hardee, City Treasurer, stated yes
terday that the taxes are coming in
promptly and taxpayers as "A rule appear
to be in good spirits. A gentleman, well
posted in affairs about the City Exchange,
remarked that the finances of the city are
in better condition than the most sauguine
of the Board OF Aldermen expected them
TO be at this time Of the year, when the
city's expenses are being paid out of the
remnants, as it were, of the taxes. 1t is
the impression that there is a large unex-
pended surplus in the Treasury.

An Associated Press dispatch, dated
Liverpool, Jan IS, says that the Norwegian
bark Freidis, Capt. Larsen, colllded during
a heavy Jog with the British steamship 10
ronto off the Skerries in Ireland, and the
bark was sunk, thirteen of her crew being
drowned and only one man saved. Inc
Freidis had a cargo Of salt from Liverpool
bound for this port.
The British steamship Storra Lee arrived
at quarantine yesterday morning from

rive up on to-day's tide, and will resume
loading her cargo of cotton for Liverpool.
The steam tug, Geo. w. Pride, Jr., ar
rived at Taggart's coal wharf yesterday
from Philadelphia. She was sent here for
the purpose of towing the bark Eliza to VIII

in building trestle work for
new railroad now in course of construction
near Wilmington, Del, and according to
the terms of the charter of the railroad
trains must be running over the track with

and it was feared that the Elba would not
arrive in time. The urgency OF the case
necessitated the sending of the tug to this
port to tow the bark on.

A SUGGESTION
Relative to a Site for q New Public
Building.

Relative to a Site for New Public
Building.
Eddor Morning NelcS: | notice in tele-
grams from Washington that the govern
ment viii reinquish the portion of the bar
racks block purchased if another suitable
site be offered. As a new court house will
probably be built on a portion of the old
cemetery plot | would suggest the city
offices being also built there, and the present
City Exchange building offeredto the gov
eminent as site for a post office building
The pavement on Bay street could be
changed to asphalt for one block on either
side to avoid noise in court room. This sit
uation for a post office would meet the views
of most business men.
Should this site not be large enough, or
otherwise not feasible, then | suggest the
portion of the old cemetery ON Abercorn
street, and extending as far east on South
BtOad street as desired, be offered the gov
eminent as post Office site. This situation
would be more central than the Exchange
building two blocks nearer Bay street than
the barracks lot and on the same street and
only two blocks east of DR.. Hops house.

There is room enough IN the Old cemetery
for court house. post Office and several
