AN ANCIENT DOLLAR.
An Interesting Relic of Forme
Financial Days.

An Interesting Relic of Former
Financial Days.
Mr.. w. D. Mcmillan, secretary Of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, came across
very interesting relic while looking over
some of the old records of the company
recently. Among the old papers he found
an envelope with no address upon it which
he had the curiosity to open. He found
inside a letter dated July 16, 1859, the
resignation of Horace B. King from the
company and inclosing 81 as his initiation
fee. The dollar was still inclosed in the
letter. 1t was S1-bill of the Bank of the
State of Georgia, of which Hiram Roberts
was president.
The bill was dated March or May, 1854,
the ink being so faded as to make the
writing almost illegible. The paper upon
which the bill is printed is not of as good
character as that now used by the
United States government, and is now
thin and soft with age. The front is en-
.graved with three female figures in diff
ferent attitudes, three large representa-
lions of the figure s. The engraving
states that THE Bank of the State of
Georgia, Savannah, March, 1854, will pay
to bearer on demand one dollar at the
principal bank at Savannah" the names
OF the cashier and president being signed
at the bottom. The former name is illegi-
Bile. The reverse side is blank, with the
exception of the word ''one" printed
across the back in large letters This old
bill will bring "reminiscences to the minds
of many Savannahians who still remem-
Der "Old Hiram Roberts, Bank" as they
are accustomed to speak of it.
The writer of the letter had evidently
been recently elected a member of the
company, but decided to resign shortly
after his election The letter yvas 9th o..
never opened or was misplaced shortly
after being received, and there being no
address upon the envelope, has lain I'M
noticed among the papers of the company
ever since. The letter is as follows:
Savannah. Ca. July l6, 1S59,-To the Of
fcers and Members of the Ogethorpe Light
Infantry: Gentlemen herewith tender my
resignation as a member of your CORPS In
closed please find 81 my initiation fee ANY
other fees due by me will be promptly paid
upon my return next fall. Respectfully,
HORACE b. KING.

ANOTHER BoLp ROBBERY.
Burglars Plumber Mr. r. w. Fairs
House on DUFFY Street..

Burglars Plumber Mr. r. w. Fairs
House on DUFFY Street..
Burglars have made another raid on
Duffy street. Mr. r. W Fairs house,
No. 149 Duffy, between Whitaker and
Barnard, was entered some time during
night before last, or early yesterday
morning, by burglars, who got about so
in silver from Mr.. Farr's pantaloons
pockets and carried OF a plush dressing
case, which was locked and left on a bu-
reau and which the robber, or robbers,
evidently. thought contained money.
This is the second time Mr.. Fairs
house has been robbed, and from appear
ances by the same parties. About eight
months ago the robbers entered, IL was
supposed by unlocking the door with a
false key, and going through MIR. Farr's
room, gathered up his clothing aud
carried it into an adjoining room and
riled the pockets. At that time very
little was obtained, only Il small amount
OF change A trunk was also opened and
ransacked.
Night before last the robbers evidently
entered through n rear window opening
on a shed, the blinds of which We're
closed, but which could easily have been
opened, and went through a rear room to
Mr. and Mrs. Farr's room. Taking their
clothing from a couple of chairs a few
into the adjoining room, and, after being
rited, was thrown in a heap on the floor
in almost exactly the same spot where
Mrs. Farrs clothing was found after the
first robbery. A night lamp was burning
in Mr.. and Mrs. Farrs room, but in spite
Of that the robber went through the room
and carried off his plumber The yard
gate into the lane was open yesterday
morning, having been opened during the
night, and was the way the robber entered
the yard.
Mr.. FAIR reported the robbery at once
to the police. There was no clew how
ever, left by the robber by which he
could be traced. The manner of the
robbery indicates that it was committed
by the same party or parties who have
been working in the southern part of the
city for the last year or more, and which
have so far eluded capture. The rob-
berries are committed in absolute defiance
of the police and detectives.
The robbing of Mr. F'arr's house is an
indication of the total lack of protection
which people in that portion of the city
have and emphasizes the necessity that
some steps be taken to put stop to
the wholesale plundering, that sooner or
later may result in murder as well as
robbery. A burglar desperate enough to
take the chances that are being taken in
the robberies that are now being COM
mitted will not hesitate to do murder
rather than be captured.

PUBLIC BUILDING BEGUN.
The Excavations for the Foundation
Walls in Progress.

Superintendent hewitt to Push the
Work From Now On-The Sub-oon-
tracts Being Let in Savannah and
Savannah Workmen Being EN-
ployed-Dr. Cooley Gets the First
Contract.
Work was begun yesterday on the site
where Savannah's new public building
viii stand. Many citizens who passed
the location on Bull street were gratiied
TO see men at work on the ground, ana
will be still more glatifed to know that
the public building work IS at last under
way.
The contract for excavating the cellar
In which the lower story will be built
was awarded to Mr.. Mar5in Cooley This
IS subcontract given TO Mr.. Cooley by
Clarke Il Co, of Chicago, to whom the
contract for building the first story has
been awarded. tt is estimated that 900
or 1000 cubic yards will be taken out.
About fifteen hands were put to work
yesterday cleaning the old brick in the
walls which were left standing on the
lot. The force will be increased to-day
by considerable number, and this part
OF the work viii be carried forward rap
idly. This work is in charge of II. Hesse.
mere are several walls around tnaU pOf-
ton of the lot which is already exca-
waited, but these will all be torn down
and the brick taken out and cleaned of
for use,
Supt. J. ]. hewitt is in charge of the
work as supervisor aud inspector, and
viii give it his attention in this capacity.
1t is believed that the work will be taken
hold of and carried through as rapidly as
possible. 1t is probable that the majority
FaE . u HI
ton of the building can be obtained in
Savannah, and the construction Of the
building will thus be means of furnish
ing employment this summer for good
many who might otherwise have been
idle part of the time at least. The fact
that the contract for the building is being
let out in sections makes it impossible to
tell whether the work viii progress

IL makes a sudden about-face and de-
mands a new deal. with the threat that If
this is not given. il will bolt and set up a

an acknowledgment Of defeat.
Returns were received yesterday by
Mr. Charlton from the Fourth, Fifth and
Seventh districts The returns from the
Fourth district were made by Mr.. j. 5.
Collins who presided over the meeting
held by the Citizens Club. They declared
the unanimous elections Of John Schwarz,
Thomas Screven, Samuel Reynolds, r.
Gefckeu and J. r. Mcguire, for commit
teemen from the district, and so votes
cast for the Citizens Club ticket at large.
The returns from the Seventh district
showed the election Of J. II. Shuman and

returns from the Fifth showed the cleo
tion of @. T. Cam and John o. Smith by
a majority of about 30 votes.
