Savannah Property.
Mr. j. G. Peck of Atlanta has been in the
city for the past few days. negoti-
ating for the purchase of the Wetter
property, at the corner of West
Broad and South Broad streets. He was in
Savannah about ten days ago when he made
final arrangements with LaRoche & Son.
Since that time he finds that the Southern
Bank holds q mortgage on the entire
property, while Mr.. Peck claims that it
is legally entitled to mortgage on only
about one-sixth Of 1t. Mr.. Peck has
employed counsel here to thoroughly look
into the matter and, if possible, to secure an
adjustment, so that he will be able to get
clear titles. otherwise he says he will not
touch it. He said last night that he is
assured by his counsel that the matter can
be adjudicated and that within short time
he will get proper titles.

$12, 500n Mr.. Peck said, land when went

wife, and we will occupy the house during

property. The improvements will involve
an outlay Of $25 900. came to Savannah
some time ago and spent month here, and
have decided that will spend my winters
here.
Mr.. Peck seemed to be perfectly easy
about the matter, and said that if he cannot
get the proper titles to the Wetter property,
be will get other property here and improve
it. He was formerly builder, and built a
large number of the fine residences and pub
lie buildings in Atlanta, among the
latter the Kimball house, Markham

DR.. Falligant Discusses the City's
Needs and What He Said.
The meeting of the South End Democratic
Club was called last evening especially to
listen TO an address from DIR. Falligant, the
nominee of the club for membership in the
board Of aldermen. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather, good audienc Q
gathered at Yonge's hall. Col. j. l., War
rem, chairman of the committee, announced
DR.. Falligant's acceptance of the nomina-
ton and his presence at the meeting.
Dr. Faligaut in his remarks gave a sue
cinct history of the condition Of the south
ern section of the city prior to its surface
drainage the expense of building the sewer
through Bolton and Duffy streets, and the
excellent results which have followed this
sanitary work. The city, said the doctor,
about a decade ago invested some $40, 900
In this work and is now collecting extra
taxes from the district, equivalent to an
annual income of 100 per cent. on the out
lay. No investment of money has paid so
we'll as that which was expended in max
ing healthy homes.
The doctor had frequently observed dur
ing his residence Of seventeen years at An

and good system of house drainage are
the most important coadjutants. Many
other topics were touched upon in the doc
tors address and interestingly illustrated,
with an account of the hard road he had
Travelled in trying to get interest enough
taken in these great sanitary works to give
promise that some good may follow his
persistent efforts
After the address a communication was
received from another club inviting the
South End Club to take position in behalf
of one of the aspirants for the mayoralty.
The communication was referred to the
executive committee. The determination
of the club to stick to its nominee for alder
man and let no other question complicate
its action was apparent throughout the
meeting. No expression of favoritism for
any one person for mayor could be OBJ
tanned

Florists Rushed with Orders During
the Holiday Season.
"You have no idea of the number OF
flowers we have sold during the last few
days." said florist yesterday. ''The de-
mand has been great, and the florists have
been taxed to fill the orders"
who bought themT'
"Oh, everybody The churches used a
great many of them, and the demand by
families was greater than We have ever
known it to be. Roses and japonicas are
the principal flowers we sell now. A great
many boxes have been sent by young ladies
and gentlemen to their friends in the upper
part of the state. Some very fine and
costly boxes of flowers have been shipped
away. Then a great many were sold to
families during the present week, with
which to decorate graves. The demand has
been unusually great, but there are several
hundred feet more of green houses this
season than last, hence the florists were
better prepared to supply the demand"

"THE QUICK OR THE DEAD"
Estelle Clayton's DEMONSTRATION o
Amelie RiVes' Study

Amello hlNSS obuOy.
Miss Estelle Clayton's dramatic version
of Amelie Rives' romance, "The Quick or
he Dead" will be produced at the theater
for the first time in Savannah to-
night. The play is new one, having been
first brought out by Miss Clayton in New
York last October, when it made quite a
sensation.
''As play" says recent criticism, "the
story has been endowed with life, with a
show of reason for the actions of the heroine
and with a contrasting phase of comedy
which is decidedly refreshing 1t is play
that will stand comparison with the best
that have been produced, Astounding as it
does in interesting situations and sparkling
with witty dialogue. So much has been
said concerning the moral of 1.-THE Quick or
the Dead" that the public who have not
seen the play are led to believe that some
violence is done IN the performance to moral
sensibilities. Such, however, is far from the
fact.n
Miss Clayton has been praised as great
beauty, and is so acknowledged. There is
much interest both to see her and the play.

THE CITY'S BANKING.


THE CITY's BANKING.
An ordinance was introduced by the f.
nance committee empowering the mayor
and the finance committee to control the
deposits of the city's funds, to selecu such
place of deposit as they may chose and to
charge such rate of interest as they see fit
to charge.
A petition from the county commission
ers for permission to erect a temporary fire
proof structure on Telfair place for the
preservation and protection of the county's
records during the building of the new
court house was referred to the committee
on streets and lanes There is some oppo-
sition in the council to occupying
the square, and it is not unlikely
that the committee will recommend
the location OF the proposed building in
President street instead of in the square
A resolution was passed extending the
time for the completion of the Southern
Vulcanite Paving Company's contract from
January 10 to February !.
THE BAY STREET EXTENSION.
There was considerable discussion over a
petition signed by large number of prop
erty owners to hasten the opening of Bay
street to western limits of the city. A por-
ton of the right of way for
the street has been granted, but there is
still about half O mile of right of way to be
secured through the lands of Mr.. Exley The
street and lane committee and the city sur
veyor have been unable to obtain basis of
settlement with Mr.. Exley for the land 1t
is understood, however, that the right of
way can be secured for a nominal sum, pro-
vioed the street is extended in a straight
line until it intersects the Augusta road
The people living west of the city and north
of the Augusta road, and the property
owners of Jasperville and in that
vicinity are anxious that the streets shall be
opened as soon as possible. The street and
lane committee has been negotiating for
some time for the right of way, and as soon
as it is secured the street will be opened.
THE FEES PAID BACK.
A petition from Capt J. w. Harvey of
the steamship Napier, asking that the cost
of fumigating his vessel at quarantine be
refunded, was granted upon recommended
ton of the sanitary commission. The
Napier brought into port the crew Of the
Inflated steamship Domingos, which was
lost several weeks ago on a voyage from
Santiago TO Philadelphia. Santiago is an
infected port and the transfer of the crew
of the Domingo to the Napier necessitated
the detention of the lat er vessel and its
fumigation at quarantine.
Mayor Lester notified the council of a
vacancy of the Office of keeper Of the city
magazine, caused by the death Of
James Kelly, and under the ordi-
nances he appointed Capt. c. A. H.
Umbach to the vacancy. The Office
is for three years. and the appointment,
which is subject TO the action Of council,
was confirmed The mayor also notified
the council of the expiration of the term Of
