THE JOHNSON SQUARE FENCE.
A Chance That 1t Will Be Replaced by
Curbin0,

CURLING.
Alderman Thomas was asked Yesterday
whether or not it is the purpose of the City
Council TO remove the fence which incloses
johnson square He said that the Council
has taken no action with respect to the mat
ter. He had taken the responsibility, he said,
of advertising for bids for the fence, and
these bids will be presented to the Council
for its consideration at its next meeting.
If any one of the bids should be accepted
the fence will, of course, be removed. If
none Of them should be accepted Mr.. Thomas
could not say what action the Council would
take with respect to the fence, or whether it
would take any action whatever.
1t is probable that if there is anywhere
near a satisfactory bid it will be accepted
and the fence removed. 1t is pretty safe to
say that the Council would like to order the
removal OF the fence, and will probably do
so if it can be done without putting the city
to Il greater expense for CURLING than the
Council thinks the Treasury can bear at this
time.
To replace the fence with curbing some
what better than that which has been put
on the Congress street side of the square
will cost, Alderman Thomas says, in the
neighborhood of 5000 No bids have vet
been put in for the railing
The fence has been built somewhere
about thirty years, and up to a number of
years ago there were iron gates at all of the
sidewalk entrances to the square. The con-
slant slamming of the gates during the
night so annoyed the guests in the hotels
that the Council ordered the gates removed.
The next thing is to remove the fence.

The Abbott Opera Company will open its
Savannah engagement tonight in Nerdis
popular III Trovatoren and Emma Abbott
viii be heard here for the first time in the
role Of the Inflated heroine, 'Leonora."
Determined to make the great role one of her
best representations, and one that will com
pare with the best ever seen in this country,
Miss Abbott devoted especial time and
study to the part with Arditt in London,
who fatterod her by saying that he
had no fault to find, either vocally
or dramatically, with her 'Leonara: "
1t was tribute 10 the little
woman's pluck and energy and her imper-
sonaton tonight will prove one of the most
delightful of the engagement. NerdIs bril-
liant and melodious music, the rouslng cho-
ruses and exquisite orchestration is inspiring
at all times, and will be doubly 50 when
rendered by the Abbott Company. Miss An
mandate will he heard as "Cyncena," Monte
CRITIC as Maurice, "Pruettea as "The Count"
Broderick as Fernando and Bertram as
'Inez" Tomorrow night lovers Of fun will

liant comic opera, Carnival of Venice
The diva and her entire corps of artists,
chorus and orchestra arrived from Atlanta
last night, and most of the company is
quartered at the Pulaski House. Miss
AbDoJt SAID that she u charmed TO, be IN
Savannah again, and that she is going to
try her best to give her admirers here an
excellent season of opera. Her repertoire
is exceedingly brilliant and versatile, and
she went into raptures over some of
her new works. Since her last visit to
Savannah, Miss Abbott has spent several
months in London and Paris and her voice
has gained in compass and volume to such
an extent that she is equally as successful in
1
cretia Borgia," and "Ruy Bias" as in the
ford roles of Lucia, " "Travaita," and
"Somnambula." The costumes that Miss
Abbott will wear dnring her engage
ment here, she purchased last January from
WORTH Pingat & Felix The advance sale
indicates large and fashionable audiences,
and as this will be the only engagement of
n grand opera, they know Miss Abbott will
undoubtedly sing to the full capacity Of the
Theater

THE PAVING CONTRACT.
The Hitch Between the City and the
Asphalt COMPANY

ASphaIJ company.
1t is stated that the hitch in the Brough-
ton street paving contract is due to the
asphalt company Directing to giving a
bond embracing the same conditions as
were provided in previous agreements,
namely, that the work shall be guaranteed
for five years. The company wants to put
in a proviso excepting ordinary wear and
tear and the city insists that the pavement
must be III as good condition as when laid
at the end of the five years, or it must be
made So
The Congress, Bull and Barnard street
contracts will be finished as soon as the
work can he done. The supply Of crushed
stone used i'll the foundation work ran short
last week and the company will get the rest
of the stone required to finish the contract
from Stone Mountain, Ga. The stone will
he crushed here.

perntendent of the company says Will be in

What the Beach Company Might Do
to I'm DrOve Tvbea


to Improve Tybee.
The trains to Savanuah's seaside resort
were well patronized yesterday, and the
last train to the city was literally
packed with passengers. The Indications
are that the island will be favorite resort
this season. There is generally expressed
desire on the part of those who have visited
the island and enjoyed the pleasure of the
lnvlgorating sea breeze to own q lot there
and IL was hoped before this that those who
have charge of the affairs of the Tybee Beach
Company would have put the property on
the mar ct. but 50 far nothing looking to
hcaccomplshment Of that purpose has been
done. II is probable that if the company
would lay of the property in building and
small farm or garden lots, there would be
an immediate demand for the property, not
only among the citizens of Savannah, but
from parties IN the inter Tor who would like
