SATURDAYS EARLY CLOSING.

Most of the Retail Stores Closed Last
Night at 10 O'Clock.
Last night was the first Saturday night
OF the 10 o'clock closing, and the trading
public governed itself accordingly. AT
o'clock white shoppers were few and far be-
tween, and at $50 o'clock only few of the
more ignorant of the colored classes lin
gered. Most of the better classes of the
colorod people shopped early. At 10 o'clock
all the larger retail establishments closed,
and one salesman said that there will be
more sales people at church this morning
than on any Sunday morning in the history
OF the city.
The merchants and sales people are we'll
satisfied with the first week of the early
closing reform, and a heavy volume Of
business was transacted, as is usual the
first week of month. The ladies, how
ever, visited the stores early, principally in
the morning, and although at this season
the clerical forces are reduced, the trade
was accommodated, as the shorter hours of
work gave them more rest, and they were
able to bring mors zeal and earnestness in
the performance of their duties.
The advertising wagon, with it's unmusical
bell, which has been advertising the early

FIGURING ON GLASS WORKS.
A Movement to Organize a Company
in Savannah.


in Savannah.
Some days ago Mayor Schwarz received
a letter from a gentleman interested in
glass manufacture inquiring what could be
done in the way of organizing a company
in Savannah to establish a plant. The
mayor turned this letter over to a business
man on Bay street, and after some CORE
spondence had followed the gentleman
came ON to Savannah yesterday to confer
with those who are inclined to investigate
the project, with view to encour-
aging the enterprise. 1t was found.
while mixing the asphalt for the
Liberty street pavement, that the Savannah
river sand contains about 80 per cent. silica,
and could be most profitably worked.
Nothing definite was accomplished at the
brief conference yesterday, but it is under
stood that if it is found that plant can be
proftably operated here there will be no
trouble in getting the stock for company,
as there is disposition to encourage diver
sified manufactures in and around Savan-
nah. They bring skilled mechanics and
their families to swell the population and
become factors in the city's progress.

Argument on a Motion to Dismiss the
Affidavits of Illegally.
Judge Falligant was occupied yesterday
hearing arguments on the motion of the
city attorney to dismiss the affidavits of
illegality in the Liberty street cases. The
motion made was in the nature of de-
murrer to the various grounds set up in
these affidavits, and requires for its deter
mination the decision of the court concern
ing the constitutionality of the act of the
legislature upon which the ordinance is
based, and also of the ordinance itself. The
decision of Judge Falligant on this motion
will eliminate, so far as the superior court
is concerned, the controlling legal ques-
lions, and will shorten very much, IL it
does not dispense with, the final hearing
assigned for next month.
The opening argument was made by the
city attorney, and the court adjourned
pending the argument of Mr.. Richards. He
will be followed by Mr.. Saussy, and the
argument will be- concluded by the city
attorney

about forty such now on the superior court
calendar, defendants resisting the demand
of the city to pay for their proportion of

involved is $3,059 60. The case will be car
ried TO the supreme court, no matter which

TAKING THE GROUND RENT LOTS.

Four Executions Issued to Bring the
Question in the Courts
Litigation has been started in the ground
rent lots taxation by the levy of tax execu-
tions upon lots held by G. NJ. Gil
bert & Co., D. g. Purse, Henry Blum and
Robert Mcintyre.
The finance committee of the city coun-
Gil left to City Attorney Samuel B. Adams
the selection of one or more test cases, and
he has had executions issued.
In answer to an inquiry as to their seEec-
ton, Mr.. Adams said that they were men of
means, were representative men, seemed
fully persuaded of the unlawfulness of the
tax, and were both determined and able to
do their side of the question full justice.
The purpose of the city is not to issue
any more executions before the ques-
ton has been passed upon by the supreme
court, but 1t will then do so If the city gains
its case. The attorney of the defendants
has agreed to file a bill for an injunction as
soon as it can be prepared, and the case will
go up to the supreme court on a ''shortn
writ Of error in time for a hearing during
the coming fail. Both sides seem confident
and very much In earnest. and a very In
teresting legal fight may be anticipated.
