A Y. Nd. @. A. BUILDING.

One of the Things Savannah WIN
have Before Long Now.
The Young Mems Christian Association
looking Onward TO the time when it will
have handsome building at Bull and Jones
streets. There are now in this country 23l
association buildings, twenty-six of which
have been completed within the last year,
valued at $9.946, 0S5. One hundred and
forty-three associations have building
funds amounting to 81, no. 900.
The Savannah association had In view,
when 1t purchased its present property, the
erection at some time in the future OF a
handsome building. The erection of asso-
citation buildings all over the country, and
the need for building here to properly
carry on the work Of the association, is rec
oguized. The officers and directors hope
before long TO see the work started.
Hudson, n. Y, has fluid of $1,000.
Amesbury, Mass has fund of S2,572.
The fund OF the Bangor (Me.l association
exceeds $40, 1000.
At Ogdensburg, N. Y, they have a fund
Of s12, 900.
Ground mas been broken at Grand Rapids
Mich. , for a new building. 1t will be six
stories high and will stand on a lot eighty
eight feet square.
The cornerstone Of the Wilmington IN.
c. association building, was laid April IS,
with Masonic ceremonies. Wilmington,
according to the latest census. has a white
population Of 10000, and $4,000 colored.
The association was organized Nov. 5, 1887,
by five young men. In March, 1888, the
Evangelist Rev r. g. Pearson, at the close
Of series of meetings, made an appeal for
subscriptions toward building, which re-
suited in about SO, 900; this was later raised
to sl2, 065. In the spring of 1889, the state
convention met at Wilmington, and
made such sn impression that it
was thought advisable to push the
canvass. This effort brought the
fTRd up to s23, 1856 in pledges. A lot was
bargained for, with possession to be had
Oct. l, but upon the arrival Of that date a
defective title made 1t necessary to look for
another location. This being a very diff.
cult task, 1t was August, 1890, before suit
able property could be procured. An archi-
tsct was employed at once. but occupied
until Dec 20 preparing plans. The con-
tract was let Jan. 5, 1891, for $S1, 992, and
has been pushed rapidly. The building is
to be C0mnleted Nov I

TIE GUARDS AND THEIR LOT.

Bill Ceding the Property by the
State to the United States.
There was a full attendance at the July
nesting OF the Savannah Volunteer Guards
last night. Several new members were
elected.
Col. Garrard reported from the
committee on the sale of lot
that the lot on court house
square had been selected by the commission
appointed by the Secretary OF the Treasury

at price of S55,000, aud that the commls-
sion had reported its selection to Secretary

1t and turned over the examination of titles
TO District Attorney Marion Erwin of Ma
con. The committee is now awaiting she ex-
animation Of titles by Mr.. Erwin.
Col. Garrard also said that he had drawn
up an act ceding the property by the state
TO the United States Government and had
forwarded it to Senator Williams at Atlanta,
requesting him and che representatives from
Chatham county to put it through the legis-
lsture as soon as possible.
The action of the committee was unani-
mously confirmed.

At the regular quarterly meeting OF the

A committee was appointed to arrange
for a carbiDe and pistol practice Of the corps
at Greenwich Tuesday afternoon, July 81.
The Hussars have decided the question of
admitting active members Of other COM
mands as pay members Of the company.
The question has been agitated for some
time. some OF the members holding that it
would not be proper to admit active mem
bers OF other commands to membership
as pay members of the Hussars. A
pay member is admitted to all the
privileges OF the club, but has
no voice 10 the direction of the affairs of
the company. 1t was argued that the adj
mission of large number Of members of
other military companies would destroy the
clubs distinctive feature as a Hussars
club. The troop, however, reconsidered
this opinion. AT the quarterly meeting
resolution was introduced by the executive
committee declaring that active members
Of other military companies are ineligible
rs pay members. The resolution was voted
down unanimously
The Hussars will probably receive a num-
Der OF pay members from the active mem
oership OF companies having no club at
.achmants.

Mr.. Gabhett Not Going to the Plant
System.
The runor that Mr.. Cecil Gabbett is TO
be made general manager OF the Plant rail-
way system caused considerable gossip in
railway circles yesterday. A gentleman
who talked with Mr.. Plant, while he was ia
Savannah last week, in regard TO the man
agement of the Plant system, and
who is in a position to know,
says there is no foundation for the rumor
The office Of general manager of the
Plant system was abolished when Col.
Halues was made vice president. The
management Of the Plant lines is in the
hands of the president and board Of
directors. Mr.. G. D. Owens is traffic mana
ger Of the entire system, with the exception
of the Plant Steamship Company which Mr..
Plant manages himself. Capt R. G. FIem-
ing, as superintendent of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, and Mai. G..
s. Gadsden, as superintendent of the
Charleston and Savannah railway, control
the operations Of these roads and their
branches.
1t is stated on good authority that no
further changes than have already been
made are to take place among the officials

A NEW TRICK.

Saloonists Hit on Novel Scheme to
Evade the Sunday Law.
A new scheme to get around the Sunday
law came to light in the mayors court
yesterday morning. Albert Thomas (colored)
was up on a charge of selling liquor on San
day from his house. 1t came out in evidence
that saloonkeepers have begun furnishing
colored men with large quantities of whisky
on Saturday nights TO sell for them
on commission on the Sabbath. The saloon
keepers let their customers know where the
liquor can be procured, and their agents do
a rushing business.
Mayor McDonough fined Thomas 800 or
thirty days on the chain-gang.
The mayor will try and have the saloon
lists punished for their action.
