The Boys Fines for Sitting on Ratings
to pe RENTED.

The Boys Fines for Sitting on Ratings
to DE RENTED.
The city council had an appeal case from
the police court to settle last night. The
arrest by the police within the last week or
two of a score or more of boys for sitting on
ratings in the public squares, it is claimed.
has been without authority. The arrests
were made for what the mayor believed to
be violation of city ordinance.
The chairman of the street and lane COM
mlttee reported to the mayor that it was
almost impossible to keep the ratings
around the squares in good condition, be-
cause the boys broke them down.
The mayor looked over the ordinance and
found one prohibiting the injuring of the
city's property, and under that ordinance
he instructed the chief of police to arrest
all the boys found sitting on ratings.
The case was brought to a test through
the arrest of two white boys in Oglethorpe
square. The point was made that the
arrests were not justified under the ordi-
nance; that there was no injury to
the square ratings, and in CON
sequence the fines were Illegally
inflicted. G. w. Owens, ESQ.,, represented
the boys. The city's attorney made no
argument and the appeal was sustained
The council authorized the mayor to remit
all the fines that have been inflicted under
the ordinance, and new ordinance will be
prepared making it punishable to sit on the
square ratings.

IT WAS A CLOSE GAME,
The Kieffers Defeat the Reds by a
Score of 3 to IL

The Kieffers Defeat the Reds by a
Score of to L.
The Kieffers defeated the Reids yester.
day in closely contested game by a score
of 3 to l.
The game was the prettiest Of the season.
Fine playing was done on both sides. The
Reds played their two professional men
which have been allowed them. The other
two were ruled out, and were not per-
mitted to play.
When the Reds went to the bat thew
made q home run. This was the
only time that they scored. The
Kieffers famed out for the first six
innings. then they scored, and scored twice
in the eighth inning. No more runs were
made. The game was intensely interesting
and is considered the best game played this
season.
The Reids viii play the Hendys to-day.
Holland and Keys viii be their battery and
Nails and Harrigan will be the battery for
the Hendys.
Base bali circles are stirred up over an
incident which took place lust a
few hours before yesterdays game. The
k1etfers are probably, since the accident to
Corish, pitcher for the Hennys, the strong
est club in the league, and they claim that
all manner Of plans have been conceived
by some OF the other clubs to get their best
men out OF the way in order to defeat them
for the pennant. The president Of the
club stated last night that his catcher was
paid to leave town by members of the other
clubs, and that the catcher got out as far
as the Central railroad junction before
the kietfers knew where he was OF what
kind OF a game had been played them. A
short while before the hour for the game to
start message was received by the Kief-
fers from their catcher telling them not to
bet on the game; that he had got into a
fracas and had to leave town. President
Kietfer made an investigation, and was in
formed by an engineer on the Central rail-
road that the catcher was out at the juno
ton prepared to get on the next outgoing
train and go TO Macon. Three members Of
the club were sent out on the next train
and they frustrated the plan by seizing the
runaway just as he was about to get in a
box car. They brought him back to town
and be played in the game.
w. Ham, one of the catchers for the
kietfers, received a letter from the presi-
dent Of one of the clubs yesterday, offering
him IS per week, and 81 extra for each
game he won for it. Ham turned the letter
over TO the president of the club with which
he was signed. and the matter will no
doubt be brought up and investigated at
the next meeting of the league There is a
rule distinctly forbidding any player sign
ing with more than one club, or being re-
leased from one club to sign with another
club without reasons satisfactory to every
member of the league.

AN HOUR IN COUNCIL.
An Aldermanic Budget of Items-Mr.
Curtis Makes a Statement.


Curtis Makes a Statement.
The city council did not have great deal
to do last night. The proposed Bay street
extension matter which it WAS expected
would be brought up by report from the
special committee appointed at the last
meeting did not come up. Alder
man Falligant offered a couple of
resolutions, one of them asking
that the proposed bill vesting the title TO
the streets and squares in the mayor and
aldermen be submitted to the taxpayers
for ratification before it is sent to the legis-
lacure. The resolution did not get second
and was dropped The other resolution
proposed giving the mayor and aldermen
control of the dedicated streets and high
ways. This was voted down.
Alderman Cam offered resolution pro-
viding for the enforcement of the existing
sidewalk paving ordinance and calling for
the framing of an ordinance to cover such
portions of the city as are not included in
The present ordinance. The resolution was
carried after some debate.
The clerk read an invitation to the coun-
ell to attend the formal opening of the
ana RFfHeyx og s oe5n nfrd EGoT not
delay in accepting the invitation.
Mr.. w. r. Curtis made a brief statament
IN regard 10 the depth or water in river
channel, which, he said, is considerably less
than Lieut.. Carriers reports. which were
published in the mayors last report,
show. Mir. Curtis referred to Lieut..
Carriers statement that there are % feet OF
water from the city to the sea, and quoted
a captain of the Ocean Steamship Company
as saying that he would not load his vessel
for over 10 feet. There has never been %
feet, Mr.. Curtis said, except in food.
Instead of there being 16 feet depth at
mean low water Mr.. Curtis said
that there are not over IS feet He
referred to the photographic departments
circular sent out last month, which states
upon Lieut. Carriers authority that there is
depth in the channel of 10 feet at mean
low water. Inasmuch as there is not that
depth of water in the channel, Mr. Curtis
thought the city authorities ought TO be APP
priced of the fact. He also referred tn Lieut.
Carriers testimony before the inspector gen.
eral, in which he stated that there was that
depth of water except at three places.
which Mr.. Curtis said does not give a uni.
form depth. Mr.. Curtis was requested to
put the substance of his statement in writ
ing, which he will do, and will submit it to
the mayor.
The mayor stated that he was notified of
the shoaling Of the channel some time ago.
and he reported the facts as he had them To

THE FRUIT MARKET.
The Second Crop of Peaches Coming
in Now.


The second crop of peaches is being mar
keted. The price remains good and it is not
likely to fall until the large shipments be-
gin to come in next week. The second crop
is not as large, growers claim, as the first
crop was, and they don't look for fruit To
get very much lower in price.
Waiermelons from the country adjacent
to Savannah are coming in rapidly, and
melons that sold for sixty cents last week
bring no more than half that price now.
The shipment of the fruit over the Savannah.
Florida and Western railway has begun.
and over sixty car loads were received YES
terday. The growers along the line of the
Central railroad will not be able to market
their fruit as early as the growers along
the line Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, in the lower part of
Georgia and Florida
Grapes made their first appearance on the
market yesterday. They sell for 50 per
basket. They are very fair, and are better
favored than any shipped to this city in
quite while. A good crop of grapes will
be marketed this year, the merchants say,
and the price will most likely fall to GO
cents and rs cents per basket. The Catawba
variety is the only kind shipped to Savan.

The selnshnesa 81 tha Fenca pannl

Editor Morning Ne,Us. The principle
which the "Fence" people are contending
for is no more nor less than this: have a
right to require you to fence your land and
your crops that my ca tile may roam at
large and trespass upon land that is not
mine. In other words the man who wants
lands fenced In is he who has no fence, and
does not purpose having feuce if he can
avoid it.
Those who really care for their cattle, and
try to Improve them prefer to keep them in
an enclosure. There is a gentleman in
Enngnam county where the mo fencen law
IS In force, who has 1000 acres incosed for
ms cattle. Another gentleman in this city
owns u cattle ranch in Liberty county.
where the mo fence law is also in force.
ana he has 2, 800 acres under a wire fence
80 It should be in this county. Give every-
pody chance, and don't make me keep a
lawful fence around my turnip patch, so
that my neighbor, owning no turnip patch
can turn his cattle loose upon my landl

some stocks the bears jumped with both feet,
