CANNOT GET HOUSES.

People Kept Away From Savannah for
Lack Of Houses to Live In.
"There has not been time when more
building was going on and there was never
a year when houses were SO scarce" said a
prominent real estate agent yesterday.
With the increased number of houses
comes greater increase of occupants. Be-
fore houses are completed they are occu-
pied. Houses are going up in nearly every
part of the city, and what were open fields
near the city year or two ago are now
dotted with houses.
The increased demand for houses is at
trbuted to the influx of people to the city.
More strangers are becoming residents of
Savannah than ever before.
"From what class of people is the de-
mand for houses? he was asked.
"A good class. A class that will build a
city up. A working class and a progressive
class" he replied.
"What is the rental of the houses in de-
mand."
"From $40 to SOS month"
chow many houses are being started
every month nowp
mot less than twenty-five on an average.
This may seem to be large estimate, but
it is not far from right. Even then the de-
mand is not satisfied. know of instances
where families have been prevented from
coming to the city because they could not

PETER GRIFFINs LUCK.
A Motion for a New Trial Saves Him
from the Camps.

rom tine camps.
Peter Griffin, convicted in the superior
court of larceny from the vessel last Thurs
day, narrowly escaped going up with the
Chatham delegation to the penitentiary YES
terday, his counsel, George W. Owens, ESQ.
having interposed motion for new trial
and supersedeas order.
In the trial of the case the evidence of
Justice Frank McDermott. the committing
magistrate, was admitted to the iury. de-.
failing alleged confessions made by Griffin.
and Mr.. Owens proposes to test the legality
of admitting such testimony. His grounds
for a new trial are:
l. Because the court allowed Mr.. McDer-
mott to testify as to the alleged confession
nv Griffin of larcenies at various times
from the Ocean Steamship Company, which
confession was admitted in evidence by the
court.
2. Because the court allowed Mr.. McDer-
mott to testify as to an alleged confession
of q similar kind, made by Griffin to one
J. ]. Carney, which the court also ad-
mitted,
g. Because the court refused to charge if
there is any reasonable doubt against this
confession being voluntary, or that 1t was
obtained by the inducement of any one.
then the jury should disregard it.
4. That general confessions to general
acts, when no particular act is named, are
not competent to prove a special act
charged, and that when a man is warned
that no confession can save him from prose-
cution, and at or about the same time he is
told that if he tells all he knows he will
probably be treated lightly, any confession
he may make is inadmissible; and that
where goods are found in room occupied
by two, or three, or more persons, it is not
conclusive evidence that the goois were in
the possession of any one of them, and they
must be identified as the goods stolen.

NAPOLEON GETS TEN YEARS.

Policeman Elarbee's Assailant Given
the Full Penalty.
Napoleon Harrington, the colored assail-
ant of Policeman Elarbee, was convicted in
the superior court last night of assault
with intent to murder, and was sentenced
to ten years IN the penitentiary. Judge
Falligant approved tie finding of the jury,
and did not hesitate to so inform it after
receiving the verdict. He added that, as
the jury had not recommended the prisoner
at the bar to the mercy of the court, he
would give him the extreme penalty of the
law, which he did.

A colony of bees which swarmed in

Beamer, to whom they belonged,
drove up with a hive which contained
a queen. This he placed on the
ground, close to the swarm, when the
bees Immediately crawled in, tum-

the bees and moving them about with
