NOT RIGHTLY DESCRIBED.
ANOTHER ACT OF CONGRESS FOR
THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

An Erroneous Description Of the Aber-
corn and York Street Property Calls
for New ACT to Authorize It's Sale.
The Defect IN the Old Act Need Not
Cause Delay in the Commencement
of Work on the New Building, How
ever.
5avannah's public building may be post
poued awhile longer in view OF discovery
by the treasury authorities, although the
secretary says there is no need for any
delay.
Awhile ago 1t was announced that the
plans for the building could not be drawn
until it was known whether the proceeds of
the sale Of the old site, at York and Aber-
corn streets, could be used, and it was nee
essary to wait until an act authorizing the
sale of the old site could be passed. Now,
it is said that the description OF property to
be sold was enormously given in the act.
and the property cannot be sold until con-
greSs meets again and remedies this error.
This is the information contained in a
letter received by Supt. G. Wallace Howard,
of the board of trade, yesterday morning,
from the Secretary of the Treasury in
answer to the resolutions passed some time
time ago by the board of trade and for
warded to the treasury department request
ing that the old government site be sold and
work begun upon the new site as soon as
possible.
The letter says that the act Of congress
approved Jan. 81, 1891, described the prop
ertv authorized to be sold as situated
about 172 feet on York street aud 80 feet on
Abercorn street, This description, 1t is
claimed, was erroneous. The act OF con-
gress approved Aug. 5, 1892, did not correct
this description.
property by Col. j. Il. Estill and Marina
duke Hamilton. ESQ.,, show that the United
States acquired title to three parcels OF
land for a site for a public building, which
together measured 243 feet IL inches on
York street and 30 feet on Abercorn street
on the east.
These facts we're submitted to the solicitor
OF the treasury for bis opinion as to whether
in view of the erroneous description the de-
partment would be warranted in selling the
property.
The solicitor rendered his opinion on Oct.
II, holding that the department would not be
warranted in selling the property, and that
action should be deferred until the matter
can be brought to the attention of congress
and an act passed amending the act apr
proved Jan. 81, 1891, SO as to correctly de-
scribe all the property to be sold.
Consequently all action in regard TO the
sale of the property will be deferred until
the facts of the case shall have been sub
mltted to congress at its next session, and
the act in question amended.
1t is stated in conclusion that the matter
Of the sale of the property will not interfere
with the continuation of the work Of pre-
pairing the plans for the new building or
with the commencement of the work OF
erecting the building after the plans shall
have been completed.
Savannah has been waiting a long time
now for its public building. Lack OF funds
in the treasury is supposed to be the cause
fer the continued postponement Of the
work.

ARRESTED FOR PoAoH1Ne.
Oyster Tongers in Limbo for Trespass

Oyster Tongers in Limbo for Trespass-
ing on Leased Beds.
Chatham county may shortly undergo
the experience Of Maryland with an oyster
war unless the courts take prompt meas
ures to protect the industry. Poaching on
leased oyster lands has commenced, and
some Of the negroes along the coast have
stated they will tong oysters wherever they
see fit, irrespective of rights Of lessee5 or
anybody else.
a few nights ago Isaac Brown aud Gen
eral Griffin (colored) we're arrested by COMFY
Oemler and negro named Timmons while
gathering oysters on piece of land near
rhunderbolt claimed by Timmons as g
leased bed. The prisoners were brought 70
the city and lodged in Jail for the night,
but next day were released by Justice War
ing Russell, Jr., on bonds of 500 each for
their appearance at the city court to answer
the charge of poaching Brown and
Griffin deny thew were on leased
land and claim they we're gathering
oysters from a natural bed when surprised
and arrested
About year ago a negro was arrested
for poaching on Randolph Paff's property
and, although indicted, has never been tried.
The rapidly developing oyster Interests
along the coast already require the main-
tenauce Of keepers to protect the beds from
poachers. The Oemler Oyster Company
has planted 10000 bushels of oysters so far
this year. The Vernon Oyster Company
has also planted heavily. These companies
alone represent thousands of dollars OF prop
erty besides the interest of private citizens.

An interesting member of Mr.. Rob-
sons company who is not travelling with it
is the l0-weeks old Robson, Jr A letter
from Brooklyn to Bessie Jarrett, Mr.. Rob-
sons travelling manager, VINO arrived in
the city yesterday from Charleston, tells a
rather amusing incident which occurred at
the Park theater where MIR. Robson was
PLAYING last week.
David Morton Stuart Robson is the heir
of the comedian. and his wife, formerly Nav
Waldron. David has many of his faJher's
traits and virtues and when he giggles
you'd think it is his father making
faces. This Mr.. Robson, Jr, is
destined, perhaps, to become gray in
the service OF his oountry's drama,
bu5 his first appearance in any theater' was
met with something of a check last Satur-
day afternoon, when his nurse wheeled him
into the lobby of Col Sims theater to see
his talented mother and father perform in
She Stoops to Conquer aud was stopped
at the entrance by the watchman.
"'Babies in arms are not admitted in the
Park theater,' said he.
but this baby is in a buggy, said the
nurse, and 1t is MIR. Rotson's baby
"'Come off , said the gray-halred watch
man, who was not aware of MIR. Robson
being father.
Thereupon the nurse grew excited. In
vain sho expostulated. The watchman was
firm, thinking she was trying to force her
way il under a pre;ense. Matters were get
ting serious, when Mr.. Robson, Jr., not I'M
derstanding the proceedings, grew uncom-
Portable and gave way to his feelings by ut
tering a squeak so closely in imitation of his
father that ii stamped his identity on the
moment, aud instantly the Waterman, full
of apologies, ushered the future comedian
into the theater."
