INVESTIGATION PUT OFF.
FIRE COMMISSION WILL NOT MEET
UNTIL TO-MORHOW.

The POstDOnement at the Request of
the city AttOrney-Chairman Gray
son Wanted to Go Ahead But n Ma
jOrity of the Commissioners OPP
posed to Doing so.
The fire commission did not pursue its
investigation yesterday afternoon, but
postponed further investigation Of the fire
chief until tomorrow afternoon at 4:90
o'clock. The postponement was made at
the request of Mr.. $. b. Adams, who was
feeling too i'll to continue the investigation
yesterday, and there being a council meet
ing this afternoon a which it viii be ne
cessary for Mr. Adams to be present in
pursuance Of his duties as city attorney,
he requested a continuance until to-mor-
row
The continuance was reluctantly grant
ed by the commissioners, who expressed
a desire to push the investigation as rap
idly as possible. Mr.. A. A. Lawrence, at
torney for Chief Mcguire, said that he
would enter no opposition to the request
for postponement leaving the matter
entirely to the commissioners. but at the
same time he felt that it was due to his
client, who was resting under the suspense
Of the investigation that 1t should be con-
Quoted with as little delay as possible.
Commissioners Nell and Parish favored
the pOstponement. Chairman Grayson was
inclined 10 proceed but yielded TO the ma
jority. The investigation, Mr.. Grayson
said. is interfering with his business, and
he is anxious to get through with it as
soon as possible. 1t was decided to meet
tomorrow at 4:3O O'Clock and continue un-
til O'clock.
The correspondence in connection with
the postponement is of some interest. It
was read by Mr.. Grayson at the meeting.
Mr.. Grayson replied to Mr. Adams re-
quest for a postponement, stating that
the delays were interfering with his pri-
Vate business and requesting that Mr. Adj
ans request some other member of his
firm to act for him.
Mr.. Adams replied that he could not do
this, MIR. B. \. Denmark being out of
the city and Messrs. Davis Freeman and
Edgar Denmark being engaged with other
business. Mr.. Adams stated in his letter
that he was not acting as city attorney
in the investigation, but took part as an
attorney at the request of the commission
and also of the mayor, the mayors re-
quest being at the instance of the COM
mission. When the investigation was first
begun Mr.. Adams stated this, saying that
he did not consider that a matter of this
kind came within the scope of his duties
as city attorney, but that he had consent
ed to be present at the earnest request
Of the mayor and the commission.
Chairman Grayson also read letter
from Mayor Meldrim, requesting a post
ponement until Thursday afternoon on ac-
count of the inability of Mr. Adams to be
present. Mayor Meldrim stated in his let
ter that Mr.. Adams was i'll.

LIBRARY FOR KNIGHTS.
Another story VIII BE Added to the
Pythian Hall.


The Savannah lodges of knights of
Pythias have decided to have a library
The plan has been under consideration
for more than a year, but up to this time
it has not been regarded feasible.
A year or more ago it was suggested that
a library be established, but the idea fail
ed to find sufficient favor for its adop-
ton Since then its orglnatQrs have been
handling it carefully and doing some eff
cient engineering.
The result is that the library is now as
sured. The associated board Of trustees
of all the lodges has approved the plan
and appointed a committee of seven, one
from each of the lodges, for
the governance, under the board,
Of the library. Comprising this commit
tee are H. NJ. Stanley, chairman, Savan-
nah Lodge, No. 50; A. P. Solomon, Chival-
ry Lodge, No. 70; Henry Straus, Caanthe
Lodge, No. 28; ]. n. Davis, Myrtle Lodge
No. 6; Henry Stelljes, Teutonia Lodge
No. Z; II. S. Colding, Excelsior Lodge No
s; c. A. Cox, Forest City Lodge No. 1.
An additional story is to be built upon
the Pythian hall, to be devoted to library
purposes. Work on this is expected to
commence about oct. !, and by Jan. 1 the
committee hopes to have the library es-
tablished. It is proposed to stock the IL
brary with the best magazines. periodi-
Gals and current literature. A beginning
will be made with some 800 or 600 volumes,

KEEPING AN EVE on SPIRITS.
5000 Casks the Aggregate of Yester-
days sales.

days sales.
The spirits turpentne market had an
interesting turn yesterday. There was a
determined rush to secure a supply and
other buyers than the Antwerp Naval
Stores Company succeeded in making pur-
chases. They had to pay an advance,
however, as the Antwerp people held the
Teins until late in the day. The largest
amount of the sales were made at 25si
cents a gallon, or q of a cent above the
official quotation the day before.
At the opening Of the market at the
board of trade yesterday morning sales
Of 4SO casks at 25 cents were reported.
The official quotation was bulletined 25l4
cents bid. There was nothing done dur
ing the official market hours and at the
last call at the board of trade the quo
tation was still 25h cents bid.
As soon as the factors had received re-
ports of their days receipts from the rail
roads the lively time commerAd. One
buyer succeeded in inducing sellers to dis
pose of about 600 casks at 2515 cents. The
Antwerp company at once placed bids
for all Of the offerings at that figure This
caused others to raise the bids to 25s4
cents, and as the Antwerp people did not
show a disposition to further increase
the price, the factors released several
large blocks az that figure One buyer
scared about LOO casks, while the total
sales for the day will probably aggregate
5000 casks.
At the close there was as much uncer-
tainty about future developments in the
market as there has been for several
week. Every one connected with the
naval stores trade. and in fact. many
who appreciate the value of the industry
watch the daily movement of the spirits
turpentine market with great interest.

The epidemic Of runaway couples to

seems again to have broken out An iso-
lated case occurred yesterday in the visit
to Hardeevine of Mr.. Marvin S. Alingle-

The couple left here in the morning on
their quest for place for quiet and eX-
peditious marriage Reaching Hardeeville,
they looked up the man whose pronuncia-
ton Of the solemn ritual of the marriage
ceremony would make them man ana wife.
Finding everything to be in readiness, the
knot was tied. The happy young couple
then returned to Savannah.
Great secrecy was observed in
the matter. ana even near
relatives of the bride and groom
were ignorant last night that the marriage
had taken place. 1t was not altogether
unexpected, as the young people We're
known 20 have admired each other but
there seemed to be little thought that such
expedition would be shown in seeking
the hymeneal bonds. As has been the
case in previous affairs where trips to the
nelghboring commonwealth have resulted
where parents have objected, the course
followed by Mr. Mingledorff and Miss Led

ASSOCIATION BOYS TO PLAY.
Y. NJ. c. AS No. and Y. NJ. III. AS
VIII Cross Bats.

The lovers of base ball will have an op-
portunity of witnessing a game Friday
afternoon, when the Young Mems Chris
tan Association team No. will cross
bats with the Young Mems Hebrew As
ISOLATION boys. The batteries pitted
against each other will be King and Charl-
ton for the Christian Association and
Smith and Kayton for the Hebrew Asso-
citation. The game will be played at the
Bolton street park and will be called at 5
o'clock
Both associations have some good play
ers on their teams and the game should
be warm one. The Young Mems Hebrew
Association boys have not forgotten the
fact that the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation won the last game from them and
they have determined to square the ac-
count.
interest in base ball never seems to
flag, but to steadily increase. Saturday
morning the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION will run a big excursion to
Charleston to witness the game between
the local association and the Young
Mems Christian Association of that city
When the Charleston boys came over
here last week they brought with them
nearly 300 excursionists and the Savannah
fellows want to carry as many to the
historic old city. In both games that the
local association has played against the
Charleston team defects have been discov-
cred in the makeup of the Savannah
team. Manager Hall feels confident,
however, that with the following play
ers he has a winning team: Hopkins
pitch; Goss, catch; Reaves, first base;
Brady, E., second base Murray, third
base; Brady. r., short stop; LeClair
Cummings, Charlton and Germany. field
ers.
The Charleston team will probably line
up as follows: Fishburne, pitch; Matth-
ews, b. H., catch; Rhett, first base: Dot
terer, second base; Furman, third base
Halsey short stop Reeves, Matthews c.,
and KnobelOch in the field.
This being the first week day excursion
OF the season to Charleston, it will no
doubt be well patronized. The train will
leave the Plant system depot at Z O'Clock,
city time, Saturday morning and return
ing as a special will leave Charleston at
$50, arriving in Savannah at 1870 The
fare is $l.50 for the round trip. The ex-
cursion will be in charge of a committee
of young men, who will see that every
thing is done for the comfort of those
who go. The eXcursionists will make the
Charleston Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation building, on King street their
headquarters during their stay. General
Secretary johnson will be in charge of the
excursion, and Mr.. Thomas Murray will
captain the team.
