PYTHIAN KNIGHTS on PARADE.
TweDty-First Anniversary CeIebra-
ton of Uniform Ranks.

The uniformed rank Knights Of Pythas,
celebrated their twenty-frst anniversary
yesterday afternoon by a parade, after
which they were entertained by their Off
GERS at Castle Han
Maj. J. Ferris Cam being IN Europe
Col. John Juchter commanded the parade
Capt Fred Schwarz being adjutant. The
line Of march was from the armory down
Barnard to Broughton, thence to Drayton;
down Drayton to Bryan, around Greene
Square, continuing south along Bull 70
Pulaski Square. re.racing their line Of
march to York and then to the armory.
About forty-fve men were in the parade
one whole company, Teutonic No 8. be-
ing absent. OF this company, good many
men are also members of the German Vol
unteers. and were with their company at
Darien; while the funeral of Mr. John
Morgas, who was buried by Teutonta
Lodge as a whole, prevented the remain
Ing members taking part IN the parade. a
number of policemen and hremen, who
are members Of the company. did not APP
pear either, the recent "str" about their
serving In the militia having made them
rather different about asking for leaves
OF absence. To all these drawbacks was
added the disagrecab.e weather. But the
fact that in spite OF these many and vari-
our disadvantages, forty-6ve men turned
out, is good record, and shows how pom
ular Is the uniformed branch Of the order
In fact. the uniformed rank is steadily
growing in favor. This is mainly due to
the thorough, constant, and Untirng ef-
forts Of Brig. Gen. r. f. Harmon VINO

LEAVING DAY STREET.
Movement of Grocers to the Ware
hOnses Has Begun.

After to-day the office and place of bust
ness of James NJ. Dixon & Co. win be
on Wheaton street in No. warehouse
of the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway. Mr.. Dixon is the first of the
wholesale grocery merchants to make the
move from Bay street to the railroad
warehouses. He will soon have company,
however. BY the latter part of this month
A. 3. Hull & Co. viii be installed in the
New street warehouse Of the Central Rail-
road, and It is understood that G. W.
Tiedeman & Bro have decided to remove
from their present location at Bay and
Montgomery streets about oct. to No.
warehouse, adjoining Mr.. Dixon, on
Wheaton street.
Another change In the present appear
ance Of Bay street viii take place when
the Savannah Grocery Company moves
from The large building now occupied by
it on the north side OF Bay street near
the city exchange to the old Savannah
Steam Bakery building, at Bay and Bar
nard streets. The latter building was pur
chased by the grocery company for $l2,-
600 some time ago. Considerable improve
ment will be made in it, and the change
win be made by Jan. l.
While It is not likely that other changes
VIII take place Immediately, they are
bound to follow In the near future The
srocers seem to be thoroughly aroused to
the Idea that they can do business more
economically from the railroad ware
houses than they are now doing from
Bay street. Mr. Joseph Fcrst. of NJ.

his firm had the matter of removal under

SACK CASE HEARD AGAIN.
Arguments on Question of Dedication
Made in Superior Court.

Arguments on Question of Dedication
Made in Superior Court.
In the Superior Court yesterday Judge
Falligant heard the arguments for the
plaintiffs in the Injunction suit of Geor-
giana Sack, administrator of the estate
of her husband and others, against the
Mayor and aldermen. Some Of the rami-
fications and side issues OF the case have
been in the courts before and have at
tracted invarahle interest
Some time since the application for
permanent injunction was filed by the
plaintiffs, asking that the city be prohib-
led from tearing down certain fences
that had been erected by the estate OF
Sack on Lincoln street, between Second
ana Third streets, which the city claimed
overstepped the legitimate boundary lines
of the property of the estate. This last
contention the representatives, of the es-
tate denied, and the suit for injunction
was filed and the city ordered to show
cause why it should not be granted
In the meantime force of men under
the charge of Director of Public Works
Gadsden was sent to the scene of the
fences obnoxious presence, obnoxious to
the city, at any rate, and proceeded to
tear it down
The plaintiffs in the suit fer Injunction
claimed that the Mayor and aldermen and
practically all the city officials many Of
whom had been in the party that went out
TO remove the fence, were guilty Of con-
tempt of court, and at the request of the
former rule to show cause was serve /
upon the city government generally, md
upon most all It's admin strative officers,
particularly, directing them TO come bef"re
Judge Faligant in the Superior Court and
give good and sufficient reasons way tht Y
should not be attached for Contempt
Before this part of the performance
came off, counsel for the Plaintiffs IN The
injunction suit discovered that no tenn
porary restraining order, prohibiting the
city from tearing down the fence or inter
ferlng with its enduring strength until The
argument upon the main cause of action
had been heard and the case de,erm med,
h.'! been inserted in the original petf;,.n
and that hence there was no legal olsIH-
Gle to prevent the city or its agents from
tearing down as many fences as they
chose. Whereupcn, the rule 10 show cause
was Withdrawn.
Yesterday the argument was upon the
principal point involved in the case, the
right of the plaintiffs 10 a permanent in
junction, prohibiting the city from inter
fering with the fence that had been erect
ed by them on the land claimed by botn
parties to the suit The plaintiffs were
represented by Messrs j. r. Saussy ana
w. p. LaRoche and the city by its attor-
ney, Mr.. S. b. Adams.
The decision Of the case hinges upon
the question whether or not the plat of
land has ever been dedicated to the city
for the purpose of running street over it.
the plaintiffs contendng that it has not
and the city that it has. The facts are
complicated and involved. and a determi-
nation OF the true merits of the contro-
versy difficult. The opening argument for
the plaintiff was made yesterday, and this

ing Of the sunragan bishops of the arch
diocese of Baltimore, which was to have
been he'd in Baltimore yesterday for the
purpose of taking steps towards the nam
ing of successor in this diocese 10 the Ia c
Bishop Becker.
As these meetings are secret, it is mol
likely that the names Of tao who are re-
garded favornbly by the bishops viii be
made public for the present The three
names recommended recently by the con
sultors Of the diocese of savannah were
TO have been cons .dercd by the bishops.
As understood here the bishops wiz select
three names TO lie forwarded to the pro-
paganda at Rome by whom the selection
WIZ be made.
There is a practically unanimous desire
on the part Of the Catholics of Savannah
that Rev. Father Kelley Vicar-Eeneral
and administrator OF the diocese, should
succeed 10 the vacant bishopr.c. Father
keiicy's eminent fitness for the positlon Is
generally conceded. Besides possessing oil
necessary qualifications both intellectual
ard relisious, he is gifted vita many quai-
HES Of head and heart which enaoar him
TO ali who come in contact with him.
Ii is generally understood that Father
Kelley was favored 10y Bishop Becker as
his successor and this was evidenced by
his naming him ass his administrator. Fa-
ther k,Ney attended the uouuhcal high
