The Democratic Executive Commit
tees Reply TO Chatham's Resolutions.
Hon. W. G. Charlton, chairman Of the
Chatham county democratic executive COM
mittee, has received letter from Maj.
William LetfOrd, Of the Bryan
county democratic executive committee, In
answer to the resolutions adopted by the
Chatham county democracy last week,
urging a pOstpOnement of the senatorial
convention 70 allow Bryan county time TO
agree upon a candidate for the senatorship.
says:
Hon. W. g. Charlton, Chairman Democratic
ErecHtire Committee. Savannah, Ga:
DEAR SIR-The resolution passed by the mass
meeting OF Chatham in regard TO the selection
OF Candidate 70 be presented to the Guyton
convention from Bryan county has been handed
me, and after due consideration the executive
committee declines to take any further action
in the matter The senatorial delegation is
authorized to -lect a candidate from Bryan
county, and will perform that duty on Aug. 6.
Yours truly. WILLIAM LETFoRD,
Chairman pro tenn. Dem. Elk. Com.
This letter was written before the sena-
torial district committee decided to post
pone the convention, and with full month
in which to settle the matter it is not I'M
likely that the Bryan county committee
may yet call a primary to decide upon a
candidate in case the delegation to the con-
yention does not agree upon one. 2. W.
Williams. Esq, who is a candidate for the
senat orship, and VINO is also one Of the
county executive committee in Bryan, was
IN the city yesterday. He expressed the
opinion that a candidate will be agreed
upon by the delegation.

CLEARING OFF THE DEBRIS.
Preparing 20 Build on the Site OF the
Wrecked Boarding House

Wrecked Boarding House
Laborers are at work clearing the re-
manning rubbish of Billiards. boarding
house on Congress street. The east wall,
which remained standing, has been taken
down. Mrs Christina A. Walters, owner
of the wrecked building, will rebuild i'm
mediately The new building will be of the
same size and style as the one blown up, a
thros-story French fat.
Mr.. Billiard is still in the city, as are the
other survivors Of the catastrophe of July
"a Mr.. Billiard and his father-in-law, Mr..
Paige and his wife, are living at No. l43
Barnard street, opposite No. 4 engine house.
L. j. Tate is out of the hospital and is
again at work as collector for the Citizens
bank.
John Robbins is still in the hospital, and
is not able to walk on account of the injury
to his ankle. He may be confined for sew
eral weeks yet.
The cause of the fatal disaster, in which
three lives were lost, remains as much
mystery as ever. The theory that the de-
struction was caused by Robbius' can
OF gasoline, which he had used in his
popcorn business and had left in the
closet under the stairway, is accepted by
many. The can contained about six gal
Ions of gasoline. There was plenty of room
In the can for gas TO form. The
accidental ignition of the gas by the gnaw-
ing of matches by rats, the overturning OF
a lamp or some other agency which will
never be known, probably, is believed by
many to have caused the explosion The
can was in the closet, about midway of the
floor near the west wall.
The removal of the debris by the work
men shows portions of the flooring remain
ing, and it is likely that more of it will be
found when the southwestern corner is I'M
covered

TEE RRLr LINES PLANS.

The Company Ready to Extend tie
Lines as Soon as the Council Acts
The Belt Line people are going ahead
with the work Of putting in the company s
electric plant as rapidly as possible. Bids
for the erection Of the power house for the
electric works will be opened tomorrow.
The Westinghouse motor system, which
the company has adopted, Is the latest
system invented. The first cars run by the
system were put in operation III Flttsourg'
July 4. and have been in daily operation
ever since without hitch OF any kind
The Electrical Rerielr says q the system
The motors heretofore made for street rail
way purposes have required the use OF
wrought iron pole pieces The motor made
by the Westinghouse company, however,
does not require wrought iron pole pieces
Its PRINCIPAL part Is a strong aud rigid cast
iron frame which carries tie bearings and
pole pieces The gear wheels AID plnlons
have broader faces than those heretofore
made: in fact, everything about tne appa-
ratus indicates strength and reliability
The caps for the hearings and TIE pole
pieces are arranged so that the arfnatures,
coils and field magnets can be conveniently
removed for the purpose OF repairs, ana
there is used an electric governing appa-
ratus OF novel construction which seems 70
uossess advantages over all forms hereto
fore tried.
ITO protect the gears from rapid wear
and to deaden the sound 1t is proposed to
surround the gear wheels by a cast iron dust
proof box. which will contain a sufficient
amount Of oil to keep the teeth Of the gears
constantly fabricated. This fabrication will
lessen the friction and the noise, and the
box which will surround the gears will so
far deadeu tine sound as to make 1t unobJec-
tionable. Street railway officials generally
are expressing the hope that some way may
be found for transmitting the motion from
the motor 10 the car axle without the use of
gear wheels, for the reason that they are
not only troublesome on account of the
noise, but because the rapid wear involves
heavy expenses for repairs"
The Belt Lines owners are anxious for
the city council 10 settle the right of way
question as soon as possible. The company
is ready 70 begin work Immediately upon
the granting of its petition for the use Of
the additional streets asked for, so that 1t
can have the entire system in operation the
coming winter, and II guarantees. in event
Of its securing the privileges it asks for, a
rapid and convenient street car
service
There is considerable opposition to charg-
ing for street franchises, on the ground that
the street railways are the developers Of the
city, and ought to be extended all reason
able privileges.

Gossip Picked Up Here and There in

Very little was done In the city court
yesterday. Lester & Ravenel, attorneys
for James Brown in the damage suit against
Smith & Kelly, moved for a new trial,
which was overruled by Judge Harden.
Jake Small, who has frequently served
Chatham county on the chain-gang, is a
candidate for his old place. He entered the

badly. There was no one else in the house
but small boy. who managed to shut
Small out after awhile.
Justice Sheftall had several cases yester-
day. M. Selig charged John Schroeder
with assault and battery. Selig tried to
collect bill from Schroeder, who cursed
abused and struck him. Schroeder was COM
PEELED TO give a bond for the city court

REALTY IN THE CITY.
Eligible Building Lots Hard to Get
Except at High Prices.

AAAS INV bNlA4Auz AOI6 W G6L
Except at High Prices.
Apparently there has been very little
activity in real estate for some time. The
spring months passed by without the usual
excitement incident to the auction sales of
lots, although there was considerable load
ing up on the part OF the land synd1cates
of suburban and county lands. A number
OF these sales of suburban lands were
thought to be more advantageous to sellers
than TO buyers, the prices paid being greater
than what the immediate development Of
certain localities appeared to warrant.
These purchases, as rule, were made by
Incorporated syndicates, the stockholders
paying down enough money to meet the
cash payment, and then paying monthly
assessments, the Accommodations of which
pay the deferred payments on the pur-
chases.
By this plan 1t is very easy for those who
buy land in anticipation of the growth Of
the city to do 50 without mourning the
danger usually attending such speculations,
because the stronger members Of such syn
dlcates can, If an emergency arises, carry
the weaker members, or can buy their stock.
These corporations have absorbed great
deal of the money heretofore seeking invest
ments IN city lots, which has doubtless af-
ected to some extent the buying capacity of
parties who year or two ago were buying
and selling small holdings. The demand how
ever for eligible building lots is greater than
ever. and thoss who are in the market for
such property either purpose building
homes for themselves or to rent to others
The prices asked for the few vacant lots
north OF Anderson street are such as to
almost prohibit investments in real estate,
and buyers will soon be looking elsewhere
Real estate dealers look for very heavy
demand for lots in and near the line of the
Belt road as soon as the electric motors are
introduced. They say that business this fall
will be more active than it has ever been.

SOUTH BOUNDS PROGRESS.

The Contract for the First 80 Miles

The work on the South Bound Railroad

thirty-nine miles in length, will be COM

tract The right of way has been cleared
the entire distance, and much Of the heavy
cuttings and filings ia we'll advanced to
ward completion.
The value of land in Effingham county,
through which the road is being built, has
advanced TO the top notch. Everybody, ap-
parently, expects to lay out his land into
town lots. 1t is the usual boom which &C
companies the opening of new country,
and will probably subside by the time the
road is built.
The construction company has called for
another installment Of 20 per cent, payable
on Sept l. This will make SO per cent.

WEST BROAD's PAVEMENT.

The Council Not Ready to Undertake
IL Yet.
The question Of paving West Broad street
still hangs fire in the city council Several
weeks ago resolution to pave the street
from the north side of Stone street, nearly
opposite the Central railroad depot, where
the cobblestone pavement ends, to the
south side Of Henry street, forty feet in
width, with granite blocks, was introduced.
There was some opposition to the resolution,
and it was laid on the table This
week it was taken up again and
without discussion it was again
laid on the table. The people in the south
western part Of the city are anxious that
West Broad street be paved, but it would
cost good deal OF money, and the council
is not prepared to undertake the work yet.

A JEWISH DIVORCE.
An Unusual Ceremony Performed at

From the st. Louis Republic
JEFFERsoNvILLE, IND, Aug. An the
office of the county Jail yesterday afternoon
there took place a Jewish divorce, some
thing that never was witnessed in this city.
much to the amusement Of small crowd of
spectators. Abraham Cohen, in jail await
ing trial for horse stealing, vas some
months ago divorced from his wife, Mary
Cohen. oa her application in Louisville AS
the proceedings OF the law did not annul the
marriage contract according to their doc.

form the divorce according to the orthodox
method. The proceedings, which we're per
formed by j. Fiugles eiu, rabbi Of Gin
clnnati, assisted by Ii. Isenberg of Louis
vile, were novel and curious.
Cohen and his wife walked into the office
together. In his right hand the rabbi held
document written in Hebrew characters
and Hebrew Bible, from which he read
alternate passages to the man, who repeated
them after him. The document which was
supposed to be the divorce was doubled No
