a DRAW AFTER TWENTY ROUNDS.


The twenty-round sparring contest at
the Pastime Athletic Club last night be-
tween Billy Whistler of Philadelphia and
John Lawson, the Terrible Swede,' who
now claims Savannah as his home was
declared a draw al the end Of the TWEEN
teth round.
The articles Of agreement stated that,
IL both men were standing on their feet az
the conclusion Of the twentieth round, the
bout should be declared a draw. The de-
cision was in accordance with this. Simply
on its merits as boxing match, the fight
was clearly in Whistler's favor. The Swede
did not score in a single round.
1t would be thought that Lawson got his
nom de guerre Of ''The Terrible SWede'
from an ability to infict punishment, but
judging from this fight it was from an
ability to stand ~. Whistler gave the
Swede most terrible drubbing. He landed
repeatedly in every round on the Swede s
face and head and gave him a beating
hard enough to put out three ordinary
fighters
The Swede was clearly outclassed. He
was not in the fight at any stage, and ne
simply took his punishment and waited
for an opening that did not come.
Whistler handled himself in a superb
manner and gave the cleverest exhibition
of scientific boxing that has ever been
seen here. In fact, il was the first real
piece of clever sparring which the club
has seen. He is a Veritable whirlWind
and is as agile and light as a kitten on his
feet. He found no difficulty in punching
the Swede wherever and whenever he
wished to, and ne simply pat pat
tered his opponent all over the
ring. 1t was this way in one
round or a few, but all through the fight.
He landed several swings and uppercuts,

Mrs. Charles Lee Has Wing Wah
Hauled Up in Court.
Wing Wah, a Chinese laundryman near
the corner of Whitaker street and Ogle-
thorpe avenue, was arrested yesterday
upon a warrant sworn out before Justice
Nathans, on a charge of gambling. He
was bound over to the next term of the
city court.
The complaint against Wing Wah was
made by Cora Lee, wife of Charles Lee,
another Chinese laundryman at 610 Aber-
corn street The wife of Charles reported
to the justice that she had been appraised
of the fact that her husband had been
gambling at Wing Wah's laundry. She
stated that he had gone to the place Sun
day night one week ago. and had lost the
sum of IS in an attempt to roll in some of
Wing Wah's money. The woman further
told the justice when she applied for the
warrant that she had given Wing Wah a
number of notices that if he did not pre-
vent her husband from gambling away his
money at the laundry, she would have him
arrested. The play continued and the wo-
man obtained the warrant with a view to
putting a stop to 1t.
The Chinaman was bound over to the
city court as stated, giving bond for his
timely appearance.

BUILDINGS KEEP GOING UP.
The Coming Year to BE Lively One
with the Builders.

With the Builders.
The number of new buildings being
erected in Savannah is an indication Of
the confidence of the people in the prosper
ity of the city. There is more building
going on at the present time than there
has been at any time within the last five
years.
The Morning News printed some time
ago the number of buildings erected dur
ing the year ending Sept. /. showing a
total Of 1S5 for which permits had been
issued by the city. The prospects are
that in the coming twelve months this
number will be largely increased. On al
most every street in the southern section
of the city new houses are going up. The
improvements are not by any means con-
fined to dwellings. New stores and the
public buildings in course of construction
indicate the prosperous condition of the
city.
A Savaunahian, who has lived in Iowa
for the last twenty years, and who re-
Gently paid his first visit to his former
home since he left it to grow up with
the big west said that if he were taken
beyond the park he would never dream
that he was in Savannah. Aside from a
few buildings on Bull street he would
not even recognize that historic thorough
fare. Few SlVaunahians, even who have
not been away from the city more than a
few months at a time, realize that within
the last twelve years Bull street has en-
tirely changed. And not only Bull. but
almost every prominent street in the city
has undergone changes and improve
ments.
A wel-known contractor said yesterday
that there are more people contemplating
building homes within the next year than
he has known for the last ten years. The
building of homes is an evidence of the
prosperity of the people.

Georgia Graham Sues Out Possess
sorry Warrant For 1t.
An interesting civil suit was tried by
Justice NJ. Naughtln yesterday, in which
George Graham had taken out possesso-
ry warrant against Wesley Hunter seek
ing to obtain some household furniture,
which she alleged, belonged to her, but
which was in the possession of Hunter
The woman and Hunter, between them,
purchased a neat bedroom suit, which by
the way, is now In the office of the justice,
where it will remain until certain require
ments of law are met by the woman, in
whose favor the suit was decided When
the woman left the house of Hunter it
seems that she attempted to take the bed
room suit but was rebuffed by Hunter,
who claimed that he was interested as an
owner of the property. This necessitated
the process, which was resorted 20 by the
woman. and the result of which was a de-
cision In her favor.
Before the property can be removed
from the Office of Justice Naughtn how
ever the woman will have to give bond
in double its amount, as an indemnity
against all claims that may be made upon
il within the next four years. If the wo-
man fails TO give this bond by Saturday,
then the man will have the right to take
the property if he is able to give the re-
olired bopd

Tampa, Fla, stating that they will send
an officer to arrive in Savannah to-day to

CERTIFICATES IN DUE FORM.
VIII Hereafter Admit Any One From
Atlanta 10 savannah.

AtiantU 10 savannah.
A called meeting of the sanitary board
was held in the office of the mayor yes
terday at / O'clock. One of the reasons
for originally calling the meeting was for
ne purpose of considering the request of
Dr. Stone to relinquish his duties al At
lanta, where he has been for quite a while
as the representative of the city, but this
matter needed no consideration as DR..
Stone has returned and was present at the
meeting.
AS the members of the board were anX-
ious to acquaint themselves in detail with
the situation in Atlanta, DR.. Stone review
ed the principal feat of the work
which he had done at that place, as well
as to give the board the exact status of
affairs as he had left tssm. He explain
ed the precaution which was being carried
out by the city officials of Atlanta in the
way of preventing the advent of the yell
low fever, and gave it as his opinion that
the present conditions which prevail there
furnish no grounds whatever upon which
to base any apprehension. DR.. Stone fur
Their gave the board the facts about the
transfer of his duties to his successor and
assured them that all Instructions would
be carried out to the letter. as the board
might direct. In this connection the board
passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That from and after this
day the requirement that persons COM
ing from or through the city of Atlanta,
must have their health certificates vised
~ DR.. Stone, is void and that inspectors
be authorized to pass through the lines
persons from or through Atlanta whose
certificates are in due form"
1t seems that from some reason the
board deemed it wise to pass a res1u,
ton requiring that all sugar, rice and
molasses coming from Louisiana should
be fumigated. 1t was asserted that some
recent transgressions of the quarantine
rules with especial reference to these ar
ticles was the cause for adopting such a
resolution.
