PROGRESS PAYS.

A Glimpse at the Busiest Spot IN
Town-What Energy and Push Ac-
complish.
A reporter passing along Congress street
yesterday afternoon was attracted by the
air Of rush, push and hustle worn by an
establishment opposite the market. Glanc-
ing overhead the sign B. n Levy & Bro.
explained the pie aomenon, for a hustle
about any business in midsummer can be
ascribed only &c unusual causes. Curiosity
prompted the writer TO press through the
coming and going throngs. and an oppor-
tune meeting with the Sc Tor beyond the
the threshold suggested the chance to learn
something OF tie methods of this remark
ably successful house ITO begin WITH
said Mr.. B. b. Levy, 1--WE believe in liberal
and discreet use of printers Ink, and l
think every man, woman and child in the
county knows il. Again, we have tried to
build our house on the solid rock of per-
manency' and not on the yielding sands OF
chance in other words lUe haze asked me
confidence of the people from the begin
ming. We haze got it, and zoe propose to
keep it by doing straight, plain square
business; in other words. every statement
concerning any article offered may be relied
ON as absolute, barring, Of course, the super
natural possibilities that are beyond human
foresight. So much for our platform.
Now for the direct causes and results. You
will probably find in no other store in Sa-
vannah the crowd Of eager purchasers that
you see here now or will find here almost
daily. What brings them? Confidence
in us in hdving promised them frSt-cicSs
goods at lUhdt THEY READILY RECOGNIZE
as VERY LOW PRICES. In fact, we want to
keep busy. We want TO get rid Of goods
that will, in a couple Of months, be unsea-
sonable. We put on prices at once that
will certainly Obviate that ogre Of those
who cater to seasons, carrying oUer.
There's the whole story in a nutshell, and
you see how it works. After satisfying
himself by personal observation that there
are more ways than one for curing 'dull
times" we squeezed out, bringing some new
ideas with us-AdU.

Altmayer,s Button Guessing.

Altmayer's guessing contest on the num-
Der of buttons in the De Soto window
decoration closed yesterday. A MORNING
NEWS man was called in to see that every
thing was correctly done. George Sem
ken's guess was the nearest. his being
los, 900. The exact number of buttons in
the display was 106, 1882. The guesses ran
from 1000 to 100000, 900, and those any
where near the correct number were very
few. The guessing was not confined to Sa-
vannah, but from all parts of Georgia and
Florida, showing how extensively an ad-
vertisement in the MORNING NEWS is read.
Mr.. Semken will get the gold watch. The
next nearest guess was 102, 913.

CITY BREVITiES,
The Forsyth Social Club will meet TO- day
at its rooms at Bay and Abercorn streets.


at its rooms at Bay and Abercorn streets.
The green grocery about to open at Ander-
son and West Broad was broken into yes
terday morning, but there was no scoop,
as the descent was made before the stock
had been laid in.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
Savannah, Florida and Western and the
Charleston and Savannah Railway EN-
ployes' Mutual Relief Association will be
held tomorrow night at the company's
general offices.
There were twelve cases at the barracks
last night up TO 10 o'clock. The majority
of them were colored. There were three
colored prisoners and one white man for
larceny. The Others were for violations of
the city ordinances.
Broughton street was considerably stirred
up by fight early last night, which began
on Whitaker street aud ended in the
Screven House barber shop on Bull street.
One of the plate glass windows of the bar
Der shop was smashed in by the belligerent
trying to jump through the window when
cornered by the officers.
The general consensus of opinion, as
gathered from the street, is that the city
council will not grant any street railway
company the use of ID ayton street. The
members Of council are non-committal, as
they do not care to anticipate their action
soon to be taken in the committee of the
whole, to which the application of the En-
terprlSe street railway has been referred.
The property holders say that if the council
should grant the right-of-way over Dray ton
street they will enjoiu track-laying.

The Centrals played in hard luck from
the beginning. They made one run in the
first inning, one the fourth, and were shut
out the second, third and fifth. The Young
Mems Christian Associations were piling
up the runs all the time, and at the end Of
the fifth inning the score stood Is to 9 in
their favor In the sixth inning the Cen
trails snapped their battery, put German in
the box and made fresh start They shut
their opponents out and made three runs,
but they did not keep up their lick, and
were shut out in the seventh inning. The
two mines made run each in the eighth,
and shut each other out in the ninth, Ieav-
ing the score 10 to 6 in favor of the Y. NJ.

German received the ball on the side of
his head instead of his bat in the third in
ming and tumbled over on the plate. The
boys rushed to pick him up, but German
laughed aud said he wasn't hurt.
Ham deserted the Centrals without
notice in the fifth inning, and German took
his place in the box. A number of their
friends were out TO see the boys play.
Willie Burke was umpire and G. r,
Bordley did the scoring.

THE FORCE BILL FIGHT.

The Savannah Board Of Trades Reso-
lutlons in the North.
The resolutions of the board of trade pro-
testing against the passage of the force
bill, copies of which we're sent to the mer
camille houses of the north who enjoy a
lucrative trade with Savannah are begin
ming to be heard from. A leading mer-
chant and manufacturer in New York, in
acknowledging the receipt of a copy of the
resolution, writes: II wish to state | am
fully in accord with, and indorse every
word of the document. Our present con-
gress is altogether too rapidly headstrong
with its blind partisan majority"
The Lancaster PA MteUigencer of July
10 says that prominent merchant of that
city, Lewis Sondheimer, received copy of
the resolutions which were adopted by the
board of trade of Savannah protesting
against the federal election bill. They were
shown to Mayor Clark and will be pre-
sented to the Young Mems Democratic

In AND ABOUT THE CITY
DUFFY STREET LIT UP.
W. P. Carmichael's and D. B. Hull
Houses Destroyed.

| ". P. Carmichsel's and D. B. Hull's
Houses Destroyed.
| The double dwelling Nos. so and SO Duffy
street was badly damaged by fire last night.
The house is on the north side of the street,
between Abercorn and Lincoln.
The western house was occupied by w.
P. Carmichael The eastern house was
formerly occupied by d. B. Hull, but re-
Gently by Carlos Escalante Mr.. Escalante 8
family left for New York early IN June
and Mr.. Hull resumed possession, but he
and his family are summering at Guyton,
and the house, although furnished, has
been unoccupied for several weeks.
The fire broke out in closet under the
| stairway of the unoccupied house, where IL
had evidently been smoldering for some
time. The partition between the houses
was soon burned through, and the fire
spread into the house occupied by
Mr. Carmichael. 1t was discovered
before it had got under Roadway and tele-
phone alarm was sent TO No. engine house.
The engine had hardly arrived before an
alarm was turned in from box No. 45 calling
out the department.
The fire spread rapidly, and by the time
the firenen got to work the entire upper
part of the house where it started was
in flames. The floors were quickly
| flooded, but the fire was between
the walls, and was hard to get at. Most of
the furniture was got out of the lower part
of the house. While the firemen were at
work in the eastern tenament the flames
ate their way into the house, occupied by
Mr.. Carmichael, and the upper floor was
badly burned. Part of the furniture
was got out, but was damaged. The
chemical engine was used to advantage
after the floors were flooded, and the fire in
the walls was soon out. The damage to the
houses will approximate 81, 500, and is sup
posed to be covered by insurance. The
property is owned by Mrs. r. B. Bevin.
Mr.. Hull is at Guyton, but it is supposed
his loss on furniture, as well as Mr.. Car
michael's loss, is fully covered.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. The
first impression was that 1t was set from
underneath the house, the floor having been
burned through. Chief Puder said, how
ever that it started in a stairway closet,
and burned through the floor and partition.
and then ran up the walls to the second
story and communicated to the adjoining
house. The impression is that it was an in
cendiary fire.

Pure Water.

Az article in the Times of the 9th states
that some Of our citizens send away for
spring water for drinking purposes. Why
should they do this when by the use of one
of Pasteur's Germ Proof Filters the river OF
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
and wholesome?
This is new invention by the celebrated
French physician after whom it is called.
The water is forced through number of
porcelain tubes, which are so arranged as to
be protected from the least danger of con-
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and others interested
are invited to inspect its workings at the
crockery house of James 8. Silva, where all
information will be cheerfully furnished.

In fact, they had a regular walk-over from
the beginning. There were some good
players in the Central railroad team, but
the general playing was wild.
The playing of the Y. NJ. c. AS was
very good for amateurs. Pritchard and
Coney as battery did some splendid work.
