CITY MONEY DRAWS INTEREST

The Banks Pay 4 Per Cent. Day for
the Deposit.
The effort being made to pass an ordi-
nance in Atlanta to deposit the city's funds
with the bank which will give the best in
ducement 10 the way Of interest recalls the
reform which Mayor McDonough intro
duoed here after assuming office, aud which
has Melted the city treasury neat yearly
sum.
For many years the City's money was de-
posted with the Central Railroad Bank
without cent of interest being paid, but
when Mayor McDonough took hold he de-
cided that some Of the banks would be will
ing 10 take the deposits and allow interest.
He called a meeting of the bank officers and
had them make bids, with the result that
tho city's working" account is now with
the Cha ham Bank and its general account
divided between the Citizens Bank, Savan-
nah Bank and Trust Company, Merchants
National Bank and National Bank of Sa-

Last year the interest thus derived footed

TOO WET TO PARADE.

The Condition Of the Streets Prevented
Military Turnout Yesterday.
For the first time in years Savannah's
military failed yesterday to celebrate Gen.
Lees birthday with union parade Il was
the fault of the weather, though. and not
the soldiers.
Tue streets were in such miserable con-
dition from the snow and rain Of the pre-
vious day that Col. Mercer decided it would
be unwise TO subject the men to the danger
of sickness by a parade, and counter
mRuded the general order at IL o'clock.
The Cadets and Oglethorpes, however,
made a short street parade about O'Clock.
They wore overcoats and leggins The
Chatham Artillery had an inspection at it's
armory, and afterward = social celebration
of the day.
The Cadets turned out forty men and the
Oglethorpes something over thirty. The
Cadets held dress parade on the drill
ground at the armory after the march, and
after that were invited 60 a spread by the
Oglethorpes. The members Of the two
companies spent pleasant hour together
and in separating gave three cheers for
Lieut. Satterlee on his remaining in Geor-
Ria.

quire a total income Of only S2,3j0, 600.
The property, it is believed, will earn
this in average years and IN
good year considerably more, which
would enable it to pay dividend to the
holders Of the common stock. The road
will not earn the amount named this year,
however, on account OF the exceptionally
bad conditions under which it has laDored.
Under better conditions and with a revival
Of business It should be able to do 30 next
year, however.
Maj. Hartridge expressed the opinion
that the apportionment is a fair one, and
that the plan Of reorganization would be
carried out.
Some OF the other bra kers place higher
estimate on the bonds. They think the
bonds will sell at 70 at once, aud within a
year, if the plan succeeds, at so.
President John Flannery of the Southern
Bank said that he believed the plan was a
good one and that it would be successfully
carried out.
Copies of the plan of reorganization in
full will probably be received by number
Of the parties most largely interested to-day,
and study of it may bring out fur
Their details of interest.

A Robber Who is Making that Line of
Clothing a specially.
A number of unusual robberies have
been committed in the southern part of the
city within the last few days.
A short time ago CASTOR street gentle
man lost $40 aud his pantaloons. When he
went to bed he threw his pantaloons with
other clothing on a chair near his bed. The
next morning pantaloons and chair
were missing. The chair was found
ia a hall adjoining the room
IN which the gentlemen slept.
The clothing was all right except the panta-
looms aud the $40 in the pockets. Night
before last another CASTOR street gentleman
pantaloons pockets contained but 81 cents
which the thief did not take. The gentle
man threw his clothes across a chair close
to his bed when he retired. When he got
up yesterday morning the clothes had dis
appeared aud the chair with them, The
door opening from the sleeping room into
the hall, which had been closed the
night before, was open, as was the door
from the adjoining room. The chair aud
clothes were in the hall without any appear
ance of having been disturbed. The thief
might have been frightened of. He Left
tracks on the polished floor where
he had inspected the pantaloons.
The only way by which he could have
gained an entrance to the house was by a
window opening on a roof.
Gentlemen who leave their pantaloons
lying loose on chairs will have to tie them
down If robberles of this kind become fire.

DREW TO BE TRIED TODAY.

United States court to-day. 1t is that of
benjamin Drew, a negro porter at the
Screven house. who last spring used check
for $4,000 which was delivered to him
through an error of the postal authorities.
Tee check was meant for a white man
named Benjamin Drew and was drawn on
New York bank, but the black Drew
thought he would make the most of the
mistake of the postoffice and had the check
collected through the Merchants National
Bank. Then he went TO his home near
Wilmington, N. c.. where he had a gala
time for awhile. Detective Hanley captured
him there early In tine summer and recovered
a portion of the money, which Drew had
given his father. The negro has been In
