TIE WATER WORKS DEAL.
The Trade of the Springfield Tract tt
Talk of the Day.

The Trade of the Springfield Tract the
Talk of the Day.
The swap Of the city's Springfield tract
for the Sheftall tract was the general topic
of talk yesterday. The interviews with
Aldermen Cam and Meldrim. published in
the MORNING NEWS yesterday, were dis
oussed exhaustively. Many favored the
water committees action. and many OPP
posed 1t and took sides with Alderman Mel
drim on the value OF the two properties.
Some thought that the proper thing to
have done would have bsen to have sold the
Springfield property and purchased what
ever land the city needed for the new works
Alderman Cam said that Alderman
Meldrim had stated nothing on the subject
beyond the position he had taken in the
council meeting. The water committee,
Alderman Cam said has nothing to hide
from the public in the transaction, and the
wisdom of its action will be seen in the
future. He intimeted that the objection
originated through some persons interested
in realty in the neighborhood of the pro-
posed site of the new works, who had hoped
to sell to the city.
A full and clear statement of the ad-
vantages to be derived by the city from the
change of site. prepared by Consulting En-
giueer Johnston, is now on its way from
Chicago, and Alderman Cam believes that
when the public reads the statement all OBJ
jections that have been put forward will be
shown to have not been based on tenable
grounds

TIE LEASE NOT YET SIGNED.

President Alexander Settles the Ru-
NOR from New York.
The lease of the Central railroad to the
Georgia Pacific is still in allegiance. Presi-
dent Alexander, who is now in New York,
telegraphed the MORNING News last night
in response to an inquiry, that the lease has
not yet been signed.
Gen. Alexander is expected back to-mor-
row, and the lease matter will come up be-
fore the June meeting of the Central
directory Wednesday, when 1t is probable
that it will be settled, SO far as the Central
is concerned.
There is considerable gossip as tc what
changes will occur when the lease has been
perfected and whether Mr.. Inman will sue
coed Gen. Alexander before the latter's
term Of Office has expired. The severing OF
the Central railroad bank from the railroad
proper and its operation in the interest of
the stockholders has brought about the
rumor that Gen. Alexander may be made
president of the bank

a CIGAR FACTORY ABLAzE.

Coleman's Place on Bryan Street
Slightly Damaged Last Night.
A little before midnight last night an
slarm Of fire was turned in from box 10, at
Broughton and Whitaker streets, which
brought out the department very promptly.
The fire was located in tho second story
OF the building No. las Bryan street,
occupied by B. Coleman as a
from the room pretty freely when the fire.
men arrived. The blaze was soon extin-
guished, but not before it had burned a
hole through the roof.
The fire started in case of tobacco strips
and filings, which stood near small pitch
pine partition between the eastern wall
and the stairway Of the middle
room. IL burned upward and
caught some cigar boxes filed with cigars
on small shelf attached TO the partition.
1t could not have been burning very long
before the discovery, as the boarding of the
partition was only charred OIL the side when
the stream from the chemical was turned
on IL.
The damage to the building and stock will
probably approximate $500. Justice M.
Naughtin occupied the lower or ground
moor as an Office, and some
Of his books and papers are slightly damaged
by water. Whether there was any insur-
ance on Coleman's stock could not be ascer-
tanned, as be is out Of the city, having gone
TO Brunswick some time last week The
building belongs TO an estate represented by
j. n. johnson.
The smoke from the burning tobacco was
very heavy and sickening, and Pipemau
Jerry Murphy was made very i'll by inhal-
ing it. The work of the chemical was very
prompt and effective. Had the fire OBJ
tanned any Roadway it would have caused
bad conhagration, owing to the peculiar
construction Of the building. which made it
difficult to get at. There is no cause as
signed for the fire, as no one had been in the
mandatory since Saturday. it is said

THE FREE NIGHT SCHOOL.
Its Work During the First Term Very
Satisfactory.

Its Work During the First Term Very
Satisfactory.
The free night school has closed for the
present after q very successful term, con-
sidering the conditions under which teach
ers and scholars labored. The average at
tendance per night was about 100, and the
total enrolment was over 100 Supt Baker
said, when asked as to the results, that he
considered the school had done a very good
work. 1t has been chiefly an experiment,
and it has shown conclusively the need Of
such an institution.
In spite of the unfavorable conditions it
has been largely attended and the pupils
have manifested a general desire to avail
themselves OF the opportunity to learn.
The future Of the night school has not
been decided upon. but it is probable that,
in view Of the favorable beginning made.
the board of education will continue next
year and with improved facilities
Supt. Baker will urge that the school be
taught nightly instead of alternate nights
for the separate classes, that separate teach
ers be provided for the school and that
proper accommodations be provided for il,
be intends in this case TO grade the school
more strictly and 70 add to the course of
study. The night school is q necessary in
stitution in Savannah, where SO many bows
are employed in business, and has doubtless
come TO stay.

officers Must Not be Rash in the Use
of Their Clubs.
Mayor McDonough has inaugurated an
other reform in the police department.
He has written a letter instructlng the
police in the use of the club. 1t is to the
effect that the officers must not use these
weapons unless the necessity is ur-
gent and pressing. They must be
patient in the matter of making ar
rests, and are warned against the ill
treatment Of any prisoner, no matter whom
it may be. white or colored. Any officer
found violating these instructions will be
severely dealt with.
The police are also told that they must be
respectful in their language to people, and
must not aggravate any one by their ac-
tions. In the matter of making arrests they
are supposed to display certain amount of
Judgment, and not carry people In for trivial
offenses, which properly belong TO Justices
courts
