GROUND RENT SALE OFF.
The Daniels Property Sold Without
Being Legally Advertised

The Daniels Property Sold Without
Being Legally Advertised.
The purchasers of the Daniels property,
which was sold at auction by the city on
Tuesday for ground rent arrearages, with
drew their bid yesterday and the property
reverted to the former owner.
George W. Parish and Simon Gazan
bought the properly, which consisted of
five dwellings at Harris and Tattnall streets
and one on Drayton street, opposite the
park, occupied by Mr.. Daniels, at a figure
much lower than its real value. Mr..
Daniels claimed that he had received no
notice of the proposed sale, and determined
to contest the purchasers right to the prop
erty. Garrard & Meldrim were EMPLOYED.
and it was expected that the matter would
be brought before the city council last
night, when the deeds conveying the prop
erty to the purchasers were to be signed by
the mayor and aldermen. >,
Upon investigation it was found that the
sale bad not been legally advertised under
resolution by the city council, as it is
required to be for thirty, days aud that the
property had been sold before the ex6ira-
ton of the time for which it was to he
advertised. Messrs. Parish and Gazan at
once Withdrew their bid. and as soon as that
was done the amount of rent in arrears
was paid and further proceedings were
stopped.
Aside from the low price at which the
property was bid off, the sale attracted a
good deal of attention from the face that it
was likely to be carried into the courts to
test its validity.

No Damage Reported Anywhere Yet

The cotton factors advices from Florida
report that during the past four days heavy
rains have prevailed in and around Lake
City and Columbia county.
Mr.. Charles G. Bell, VINO has just returned
from Bradford. Madison, Suwannee,

not done nearly so much da mage to the sea

fact they have been all. W ebbed up and
were unable to do anything. Mr.. Bell heard
of only one case in SuWannee where the
pest had eaten the leaves off the stock, and
that was only part of g crop. He said
that the weather in Florida during August
was against the worms, as it was little too
cool for them, and it is only when there is
plenty Of rain aud the sun comes out steady
and hot, that they get in their work.
The crop, Mr.. Bell says, is very back
ward, owing to the cool weather early in
the season, and in some sections of Florida
not full crop will be raised. The worms
have pletty of time to do damage vet
especially the second generation, which is
the most TO be feared.
The caterpillars have no terrors for the

appear every year. more or less, but 90 no

It is only in South Carolina where the

their crops, especially in the fine islands
Along the islands and coast With the return

any harm.
TIE condition of the crop throughout

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THE CITY MAY BUY IT.
4 Plan to Turn the Cremetory Over
to the Sanitary Department.

to the Sanitary Department.
There is a rumor ahoat that the city con-
templates purchasing the Hughes crematory
from Mr.. lyman, who purchased it last
week at constable's sale.
Architect Percy Sugden said yesterday
that the crematory can be remodeled, and
while it cannot be operated with the
economy intended by its protector, nor can
1t consume as great a mass Of garbage as
was stipulated under the contract, It
can be made to do effectual work
and be an aid 20 the sanitary disposition of
the citys garbage. 1t turns out that Mr.
Hughes had greater confidence in his plan
OF crematory than was justi6able 1t was,
however, his own proposition that the
crematory should do a certain amount of
work, and at a minimum cost, which the
construction of the crematory would not
permit.
The impression is that Mr.. Hughes was
honest in his belief that his crematory
would do all that he promised for it, and
yet his abandonment Of the enterprise, and
his failure to liquidate the claims for labor
and material, and paying no attention to
the letters of inquiry are being unfavor-
ably criticized
1t is learned that there were several
claims, the amounts being in excess of the
jurisdiction of the magistrates and on
which claims suit could not be brought
until the November term Of the city court,
thus shutting creditors out Among such
claims was that of Mr.. lyman for over $130
and his purchase Of the crematory was to
save himself in the speculation. Lowell q
Sons are said TO have claim for about $3.50
and Percy Sugden, for engineering work
and SUPPLEMENTARY, $50.
If the city should now purchase, it must
do 80 at greater cost than if it had become
bidder on the day Of the sale. There was
an impression on the minds of some of the
creditors that the city would be repre-
sented at the sale and bid the
crematory in and assume the unliquidated
claims against the United States
Gas and Fuel Company of PHILADELPHIA for
labor performed and material purchased
here, which would have made the crema-
tory cost the city about 81 900, and one of
the creditors said yesterday that with this
understa ding lie paid no attention to the
sale on sales day, and did not go near it.
thinking that the city would bid the crema-
tory in and pay bis and other claims. Had
it not been for this impression he would
have competed at the bidding in self-de-

sANIrARIANs AT WORK.
Health Matters Discussed by the SAM
tary Associations Council.

tary Associations Council.
The executive council of the Citizens
Sanitary Association held its September
meeting last night at its headquarters, at
Drayton and York streets. There was a
full attendance, and the proceedings were
more than usually interesting. Vice Presi-
dent j. II. EStill presided, and the following
gentlemen were present: CO.. John Screven,
DR.. r. j. Num-, DR.. George H. Stone, Capt.
Henry Blum, DR.. g. &. Hummel, E. KarO y,
Esq, of the executive council, Percy Sug-
den, inspecting engineer, Max Desvergers,
Esq, sanitary inspector, and Denis Muir
ply, secretary.
A very interesting report was presented
by DIR. Hummel Of the committee on public
health, regarding the management of the
quarantine of the port. ION motion the
report was confined to a special committee
consisting of the members Of the committee
on public health, and the chairman of the
committees on shipping and commerce and
on conference with the CITY authorities,
with the request that they takelsuch action
as they should should deem best in the
premises.
DIR. Stone gave an interesting account of
the results of the boring of the new artesian
well in the Springfield plantation.
The secretary was directed to push the
collection of members dues.
The discussion incident to the adoption of
the report of the public health COMMITTEES
regarding quarantine matters brought out
some facts that surprised those who were
not acquainted with the methods in vogue
in the management Of that important and
expensive department Of the city govern
ment.
The report will not be made public until
it is presented to the mayor. 1t is very
probable that the cotton exchange and the
board of trade will be requested to CO.
operate with the sanitary Associations com
mittee in its efforts to improve the manage
ment of the quarantine station and thereby
more.effectually'guard the health of the city,
and at the same time do away with all un-
necessary restrictions upoa the commerce
of the port.
The secretary gave notice that the room
now used by the association cannot be
rented after Oct. l, and offered the use Of
his office in the old Southern Bank building
to the association free of rent. The offer
was accepted with thanks

Election District.

The Proposed Division of the Fourth
Election District.
Outside of the Neidlnger appeal case
there was not great deal OF business before
the city council last night An hour was
spent in caucus, and number of matters
were discussed which did not come up in
open session. The Exley case and the rea-
sons for Mr.. Exley's failure to sign the con-

tension were brought up informally, but no
action was taken in council

tration districts. Its object is to facilitate
the registration and voting in the Fourth
district, to do which was the cause of cool
deal of trouble at the last election.
A letter from the directors of the Farm
ers' Alliance in regard to locating the ALI
ance exchange and inviting proposals for a
location was read and referred to the COM
mittee on finance aud city lots The letter
is similar to that Of President Young of the
board of trade which was published in the
MORNING NEWS one day last week.

must vacate Germania hall, now the head
quarters of Engine Company No. 2, at the

De Soto-The Cheva7iar

Mr.. EditOr-I have been made the victim
of a very abusive dispute. The circumstances
are as follows: Miss -, a recent graduate
of Lucy Cobb, maintains that De Soto, who
explored Florida in hopes of discovering
the fountain of youth is credited in his.
tory with the discovery of the Mississippi
river
Having had occasion recently to review
the life of this famous explorer, am con-
hdent De Soto passed through Savannah in
a northerly direction, and perhaps pitched
his camp upon the very sight where the
hotel bearing his name is being erected.
Now you must not lose sight of the Fact
to continue his exploration due north he
would have to cross the Savannah river. "a
