THE BEER FIGHT.
Beer Drinkers Waiting for Reduction
in the Glass Price.

Beer Drinkers Waiting for Reduction
in the Glass Price.
The beer fight was the talk among beer
drinkers yesterday. They are anxious to
see reduction in the glass price, So far,
though, the cut is only on the
keg, and that is not general.
Charles Seller, agent for the Milwaukee
beer in Savannah, saws that the statement
that the price of Milwaukee has been re-
duced from 81 IS to 50 30 keg is not so,
There has been no cut, and Milwaukee is
held firmly at So IS. So long as the com
pany makes special beer for this climate
there will probably be no reduction.
Mr.. Seller says that good beer is
worth what is asked for Milwaukee.
George Meyer, agent for the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association, says that his
company is not engaged in a fight against
any one, nor is it trying to push any
one to the wall. The relations between
thu Anheuser-Busch Association and
other brewers, he says, are of the
most friendly nature. "fhere is room
enough for everybody" is the Anheuser
associations motto, and it proposes to 90
right ahead.
The talk among the saloon men, however.
is cheaper beer, and the drinkers are stand
ing off, and some of them are growing
thirsty waiting for the expected reduction
in tue glass price.

People in the Southern Section Get
ting Alarmed Over 1t.
Complaints continue to come in of law
less acts in the southern portion of the city,
and the inadequate police protection af-
forded that section. The firing of pistols is
not only at all hours Of the night, but also
in the day time. About 9 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, two pistol shots were
fired ct West Broad street, between Duffy
and New Houston streets, and one ball
passed through the open window of resi-
dence and buried itself in the parlor wall.
The gentleman of the house was taking an
after-dnner nap, but the shot awakened
him. He hurried out, but could get no in
formation as TO who fired it or from what
direction il came.
A gentleman living south of Anderson
street says that revolvers have been so re-
peatedly fired in the neighborhood of his
home lately that he has loaded his gun with
buckshot and intends at the first
REPETITION of this dangerous prac-
tice to return the fire. He says if the
people are not protected from the tramps
who have afflicted the southern part Of the
city of late that the citizsns will have to
protect themselves.

THE OLD "NOAHS ARK,
An Historic Building Giving Way to
the New order of Things.

tne New Order of Thin gs.
The old colonial structure at the north
east corner Of South Broad and Jefferson
streets is undergoing very radical process
or reconstruction. The building is long
one-story frame structure, with an old
style double-hipped attic, and it encroaches
about Is feet on South Broad street and
about 10 on Jefferson street. When it was
built 1t was tout in the woods" and South
Broad street as thoroughfare was far In
the dim future. Twenty years ago it was
popular boarding house, and was famil-
iarly known among those who ate their hash
under its venerable roof as ''The Ark" 1t
bore very striking likeness TO Noahs
floating menagerie. Its resemblance to
that historic vessel, however, will be en-
tirely oDliterated in the improvements now
going on.
BY some stretch of the fire ordinances the
one-story wooden building is being ex-
| panded into range Of three-storv tene-
| nentS, the front of which will be about on
line with the rear walls of the old struc-
ture4 As far as appearances go it will be
decided improvement to the street, but
some people who own property in the
neighborhood are of the opinion that it is
fragrant violation of law and precedent.
| 1t would doubtless have been more con-
sistent, in view of what mas been required
In similar cases, for the city to have paid
| for the encroachments and required the
owners to build as other citizens have been
| compelled to do-of brick.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
TIE GUARDS MAY SELL.
They Are Getting the States Permis-
sion to Sell If They Want To

1ney are Getting the States PermiS-
sion to Sell If They Want To.
Col, VIM Garrard was asked yesterday
what is the meaning of the bill introduced
IN the legislature this week by Senator
duBignon, providing for the sale of one
half tue Guards arsenal lot. Col. Garrard
replied that the intention of the bill is to
obtain the permission Of the state to sell or
transfer the original half of the lot. so that
In the event that the battalion should decide
20 dispose Of the lot, it might do so without
having TO wait until the next legislature
meets TO get a bill passed authorizing the
sale.
The battalion owns the entire lot, out the
state has the right, in cases Of emergency,
to quarter its soldiers la oue-half Of the
arsenal. This right of the state. however.
Is exercised over all armories. and hence it
becomes necessary to get the states permits
slon whenever iG is desired to dispose of
either the lot or arsenal
Col Garrard was asked if the Guards
entertain an idea Of selling the property,
and he replied that the matter has never
Desn discussed by the battalion. He would
not say that there was not probability of
their disposing of the lot, but if the lot is
SOLD, he said, it will be for the purpose of
erecting handsomer structure. He saw
no reason, however, why the present
lot is not suitable. He added that
all the preparations that are being
made now would have to be made
before the building of the armory,
so that when they are completed the bat
talon is that much more nearly ready to
go on with the building. He said, though,
that the Guards thought by waiting that
the armory can be built at q considerably
less price. This has been one of the rea-
sons why the architects have not been
allowed TO go on with the drawings. Some
OF the figures on buildings recently built in
Savannah show that the cost OF building
has advanced much higher than it ought,
and the cost is bound to drop.
When the bill now pending in the
House, granting the right to sell the
entire lot, passes, and also the other
Dill, providing for the issuing of
bonds which Is pending in the Senate
passes, two important steps will have been
taken, and the battalion will be free to Sc.
cure the most eligible site, if for any reason
the present site should not meet the de-
mands, and it will also be able by the issu-
ing OF bonds to go right ahead with the
arsenal, which will, no doubt, be the hand
soonest in the south

THE BELT LINES PLANS.
To Adopt the. Electric Motor system
at an Early Day.


The Belt Line railway directors listened
yesterday to interesting takers on electric
motors for street railways. One of the gem
tlemen represented the Sprague system and
the other the Daft system. Both were we'll
versed on the subject OF electric motors and
gave very interesting accounts of what is
being done in that line, and what their re-
respective companies can do with their mo-
tors and plants.
The directory is very hopefcl of making
arrangements with some one of the four
principle electric motor manufacturers by
which the people of Savannah will have
the advantages to be derived from
improved transit afforded by cleo
tricity. The Overhead systemn at
present appears to be the only
one available for street cars, but there is a
reasonable hope, from information in the
possession of the Belt Line people, that the
storage battery system" may be so near
perfection that it would be best not to act
too hastily by adopting any electric system
now on the market
