GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL.
The Buildings Being Put in Readiness
For the Fall Term.

All the public school buildings are un-
dergoing repairs preparatory to the open
ing of the schools Monday, Oct 2. The
repairs consist chiefly of whitewashing
and painting. All the buildings will be
given thorough cleaning out. Mrs.
Fish, janitress Of the Chatham Academy.
says she intends that building shall be as
clean as parlor from top to bottom.
Additions are being made to
two of the public school buildings.
Work was begun few days ago on an
addition to St. Patrick's schoolhouse at
Montgomery and York streets The ad-
ditiOn is to consist of two large rooms
built on the rear of the present structure.
The crowded condition Of this school i'm
peratively required the rooms, as it had
been found necessary to rent rooms in
neighboring buildings to accommodate
the over filled classes.
The work is being done under the di-
rection of Architect Eichberg, and the
contract was awarded to Messrs. Win
ton & Burgess. The rooms will be
ready for occupancy by November LIST.
Six additional rooms are being added
to the East Broad street colored school.
1t was necessary to turn away several
hundred colored children from the schools
last year for lack Of accommodations 1t
is estimated that the addition to the East
Broad street school will accommodate
about 400 pupils.
Supt. Baker estimates that there will
be an increase in attendance upon the
public schools this year of between 100
and 200 white children, and about 400
colOred children. There is no doubt, he
thinks, that every inch Of school ac-
commodation for both white and colored
will be in demand.
There viii be one more grammar school
this year than last, the Chatham school
having been divided into two schools.
This does not increase the accommoda-
tions, but il is hoped to make the instruc-
ton more efficient by allowing of a more
thorough supervision Prof. s. B. Spen-
GER, for several years principal of the
Chatham school. will be in charge of
Chathatham School A, and Prof. Julien
{. Hartridge, who filed the position of
assistant in the high school last year will
be principal of Chatham School B.yProf.
j. j. Gillespie succeeds Mr.. Hartridge as
assistant teacher of the high school.
An examination for vacancies in the
list of teachers during the past year will
be held at the academy Sept. q. II is
understood that there are a number of
candidates who are desirious of under
going the examination. Those who pass
this examination successfully are quail
fed for election to fill the vacancies occur
ring during the year.
There are already two vacancies to be
filled and it is not unlikely that there will
be others.
Supt, Baker said yesterday that there
will be no change in the text books in use
during the last year.

No JUSTICE IN THE FIFTH.
Judge FerTiIl Declares The July EleC-
tiOl IlIe6al.

Another Election Ordered for Sept.
the ordinary-Charges of Fraud on
Both sides-The Attorneys Submit
the Case Without Argument.
The election for justice of the peace in
the Fifth district has been declared lie
gal By his honor, Judge Hampton Ferrin,
and a new election viii be held Septem-
Der 30.
Yesterday morning a stack of papers of
all kinds including evidence af1idavits,
notices Of service and contest and all the
paraphernalia necessary to make up an
election contest, almost as voluminous as
an unabridged dictionary, was presented
to the ordinary and he was asked to con-
slider the matter and decideit.
The attorneys in the case, Nessrs. Bar
row & Osborne for Black and Messrs.
SeabroolE, Morgan e. Way for Smith,
merely presented the testimony and affi-
davits and decided not to make any argu-
ment in the case.
THE TREND OF THE TESTIMONY.
Black evidence had been taken before
Justice Sheftall and Smiths before JUS
tice Reynolds. There was testimony
there of all kinds. Some of it went to
show that large number of the parties
voting at the election did not live in the
district and that their voting was there
fore illegal.
There were some Of the witnesses that
swore that illegal votes had been cast for
Black and others swore that illegal ballot
ing had been done on the Smith side. In
fact the charges of fraud were promis-
cuOus and numerous. Witnesses for one
side charged the other side with having
stuffed the ballot box and vice versa. None
of the candidates escaped the charges, or
at any rate the charges that their friends
did some illegal work for them.
THE ELECTION ILLEGAL.
This mass of testimony could produce
no other idea in the mind of the Judge
than that the election had been deci dedly
an illegal one, and he so decided The
following order was issued by Judge Fer
rilI yesterday after he had given
the case sufficient consideration
to warrant it:
after reading the testimony of the
witnesses and briefs submitted by the
respective attorneys for Smith and Black
l decide that the election held on July p,
1898, for magistrate of the Fifth G. NJ
district, is illegal, and that the Office of
justice of the peace for said distr let is
vacant.
1T is therefore ordered that an election
for Justice of the peace for the Fifth C. NJ
district be held on Sept. 30, 1893, at the
Office formerly occupied by the late JUS
tice Davidson on ThUnderbolt road,
Chatham county, according to law"
AN ELECTION WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
The election was, as will be remem-
bered, one of the most heller SHELTER free
for all fights that has been witnessed in
Chatham county in long time. 1t was
the opinion of all who witnessed the pro-
ceedings there at the time that the cleo
ton would be declared illegal and that
another one would be ordered. 1t is
probable that the authorities will give
the next one a closer surveillance and
that it will be better conducted.

rAKRN 10 - HoMEs.
The Orphaned Little Ones OF the Il os.
rLtal Provided Tor-


Tho three little Bowers children, an ac-
count Of whose being left alone iu The
world by the death Of their mother at the
Savannah hospital was published iu the
/ MoENEG News. have an been adopted
into good families.
The sad plight OF The little ones,
whose father and mother had both died
Within "a month of each other. was pub
lished iu the hope that chariably disposed
persons would volunteer 10 take charge Of
them. The articles had the desired
effect Before DR.. COldiug. the
resident physician at the hospital had
finished his breakfast the next morning
people began 10 call 10 see the children.
There was a steady stream OF callers all
day, and before night the little boy and
baby girl had both been placed in good
hands. The boy was adopted into the
family Of a Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway engineer, and the 6-weeks-
old girl was taken in charge by a we'll
known dressmaker The syear-Old
girl. the oldest of the children, had been
i'll since her mothers death, and did not
leave the hospital until Friday morning,
when she was given in charge Of the wife
Of Well-knOwn young business man.
The little girl seemed TO take the part
ing with her brother and sister very hard.
She was the only one present at her
mothers death, and was probably the
only one of the five children able to appre-
ciate the calamity which had bofallen
them.
She sat with her hands over her eyes
and wept as the visitors exam
ined the children and expressed their
preferences as to which one they would
like to have. The 2-year-Old boy is an es-
pecially fine little fellow and was in great
demand. He could have had the choice
of a dozen different homesif he had only
known how to choose The lady to whom
he was finally given seemed very much
taken with him and there is no doubt that
he will be well cared for
DR. COlding said yesterday that he
could have given away a score Of children
if he had had that many on hand. On the
next day after the article in the MORNING
News, letters began to come in from people
in the country, some of whom seemed
to be very anxious TO secure the
children. Nearly hundred applications
were made in all
The two remaining children, both girls,
who were placed in the Louisa Porter
home by the mother before her death,
have also been applied for by several
parties. The applications have been laid
before the board of lady managers and
will be considered at the meeting of the
board tomorrow. There is no doubt
that good homes will be secured for them
also.
The hard times have not been able to
chill the warmth Of the hearts of the
people of Savannah, and especially of its
good women, as is evidenced by their
ready response to the appeal in behalf of
the tdtherleSS and motherlesS orphans.

A WATCH WITH A HISTORY.

1t Was Stolen Twice and Twice
offered for Sale to the Same Pawn
broker.
Detective Morgan has in his possessiona
gold filed watch which has history of
connection with petty criminals. The
watch is the property of a man named
Coyle, from whom it was stolen some time
ago by negro and taken to Pawnbroker
Strauss. The watch was turned over to
Detective Morgan and the thief captured
He was sent to the penitentiary for five
years for that and other crimes with
which he had been connected.
Last night the watch was turned over
to Detective Morgan a second time, also
by Pawnbroker Strauss. 1t was brought
to him this time by white man, and,
having seen it before, Strauss immedi-
ately recognized it. The party who
offered the watch for sale was described
TO the owner, who recognized him, but de-
clined 10 prosecute him. Detective Nor
gan is holding the watch until the party
who stole il turns up.

To Eelp the Post Omce.

Postmaster Doyle makes a request to
the business men, in order to facilitate
the work of the post office, that they will
mail their letters early. In speaking Of
the matter, yesterday, Postmaster boy lie
said: The merchants seem to think that
letters should not be mailed until after Z
or near : O'Clock, p. IL. We have big
mail about seven o'clock, and the mailing
force has all it can do to get the mails
out, If we can only get the
mail in time, the present force can
handle it with ease. When the merchants
wait until few minutes of the time of
closing to post their letters we have a
very close scratch to get the mails out,
particularly in the early part of the
month"
The necessity of mailing letters so the
postofice force can get to work at them
is apparent Many merchants hold their
letters until they have finisheditheir entire
CORES ondedCe.
If they would mail the letters that they
write early in the afternoon and not hold
them to mail with the letters written
later on it would facilitate the handing of
the mails greatly.

Shoot That Straw Hat
And get new derby from LaFar.-at
An interesting Question.

The conservative and thrifty business
man always looks before he leaps, and in
these unsettled times when railroads and
industrial stocks have all gone to pieces,
the investor must look around to place
money safely.N ow what IS more substau-
tail than real estate, or real estate secur-
ty! Your land can't burn up but your
house can be insured. Therefore your
investments are secure, and your inter
est certain. How many old citizens will
tell you that twenty years ago he could
have purchased almost any property
south of CASTOR street for 500 a block or
about where the park extension is now
for $50 one could purchase two blocks
and to day this same property
can be sold at public outcry at 500 per
front foot. Five years hence when this
property will bring $500 or $4,000 per
front foot, how many people will look
back and sdy-'f my foresight was as
good as my hind slightly etc.
Look at The enormous losses sustained
in stocks and bonds and coupons, the
enormous gain made on real estate The
thoughtful man will not fail to see this
and when he has a few dollars to spare
he will call on Edward w. Brown Il Co,
10Y Bay street, who are always ready to
give him pointer on a good investment
and where good results are assured. -ad

A HAPPY NEW YEAR,
And a Prosperous Season to Every

ana prosperous season TO Every
one who Enjoys Good Living.
The season now approaching is ushered
in by the Hebrew New Year, and may
the results of the coming period be more
profitable to every one than the year
just passed. Through all the great strin-
gency of the money market and the gen
eral depression of trade, it was notice

continued to live through it, and, natur-
ally they were compelled to eat to live.
In this they were wise. They showed
their good sense too-that is the large
proportion of good livers did-by buying
the best wholesome food, and of course
they sent to Logan for it.
Taking into consideration the dull bust
ness of the summer, all around, Logan
has no cause to complain. He did the bus
mess. The people know where to get the
finest cuts of delicious beef, the choicest
mutton in the market, and are also begin
ming to realize that the Silver Churn But

the families of this city is as good as the

HALF OF ONE PER CENT.
The Estimated Loss on Naval Stores
on the Wharves.


The naval stores buyers, who now own
practically all the stock on the wharves,
have reached an agreement by which
they are getting deliveries from the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western and Har-
mons wharves from the stock of rosin
and turpentine which was damaged by the
storm.
The agreement was practically the
same as was drawn up by Mr. John r.
Young some days ago, and protects that
railroad from all claims for losses which
may arise. These the naval stores men
will have to settle among themselves.
They will draw on the unidentified stock.
after their identified stock has been ex-
hausted and then they will apportion the
loss among themselves, according to the
amount they held.
Practically the same agreement has
been made with the Central railroad, but
it had not been signed yesterday and the
stock on those wharyes was not available
Arrangements with this road will proba-
bly, be completed tomorrow
The total amount of the loss from the
storm, the buyers think, will not 90 over
one-half of / per cent. This is by no
means small, however, when it is Consid-
cred that there were 1877 900 barrels of
rosin on the wharves in the city. This
means a loss of about 700 barrels of rosin
besides a large amount of turpenUine
which was also destroyed.
