ACADEMY WILL BE MODERN.
TRUSTEES AND SCHOOL BOARD COM
MITTEEs REACH AN AGREEMENT.

Proposition of the Board of Educa-
ton TO Pay, $4,000 a Year Rental
Until Amount Above what the
Trustees Promised 10 Expend on
the Academy should he Repaid
Was offered and Agreed tO-The
Understanding Is That There Shall
BE Modern school Building with
Plenty of Room-outIines of a Plan
Decided UpOn-PIans VIII Soon BE
Advertised Observation-Disclosures Never
Discovered.
The committees of the trustees of the
Chatham Academy and the. Board of Edu-
cation to confer as to the plan for a new
building to replace the academy, which
was partly destroyed by fire some months
since, had full meeting yesterday after
noon, every member being present, name
ly: Capt. II. NJ Cunningham and Messrs.
. George c. Freeman and w. l.. Clay of the
Board of Trustee, and Col. J. H. Estill,
b. A. Denmark, Esq, and Capt. Henry
Blum of the Board of Education.
The proposition of the Board of Educa-
ton to rent the proposed building at a
amount over and above what the trustees
had proposed to expend, was replaced,
provided it was built upon certain general
lines, met with the hearty approval of the
trustees.
The outlines of a plan for rebuilding
that part of the academy destroyed by
fire, and embracing a rev structure
where the western wing stands when the
funds in hand may warrant it, were
agreed on. AS soon as a preliminary
sketch of what is required is prepared,
plans for a building will be advertised for.
1t was the impression of most of the
gentlemen present that handsome mod
ern academy, comprising twenty-four
rooms for the grammar schools and ten
for the High School, which will include
the present school rooms in the western
wing, teachers rooms library janitor's
quarters and other necessary rooms, could
be built for the insurance money in the
treasury of the trustees, and the funds
invested for keeping the property in re-
pair
The committee from the trustees will
have to report their action back to their
colleagues, but there Is no doubt that
what they have agreed on will be APP
proved.
The academy incendlaries have never
been apDrehended. Despite the large re-
wards offered for their arrest with proof
10 convict. the perpetrators of the outrage
have enjoyed immunity. Public indigna-
ton over the burning was great at the
time and it would have been to the sin
cere delight CT all if the guilty ones had
been caught.
The Mayor of the city offered a reward
of $500 fer the apprehension of the incen-
d aries, and this was supplemented by an
offer of $3.50 from the Board of Education.
The city detectives and others went ac-
lively to work, but save for the arrest of
the two boys suspected, none have been
taken into custody. But little time was re
quired for a decision to be reached that
the boys were innocent of the charge, and
they were released. 1t seems probable now
that the matter will remain a mystery.

Yachtsmen Looking Forward to the
Contest with Charleston.

Savannah yachtsmen are looking for
ward with a great deal of interest to
this summers contest between the
Charleston and the Savannah Yacht Club.
1t is confidently expected that the best
yachts ever seen in these waters will be
entered
The races will probably be sailed in
June. The annual regatta of the Savan-
nah Yacht Club will be in May, and that
of the Charleston Yacht Club will be had
early in June. 1t is expected that the
races between the two clubs will follow
not long after the Charleston regatta.
A meeting of committees from the two
clubs was held some weeks ago in Savan-
nah, where preliminary arrangements
were made and the governing rules adopt
ed. The races. which will be a series of
three, viii be sailed in Savannah waters,
probably over the Wilmington river
course, and it is expected that splendid
sailing may be seen.
The Savannah Yacht Club, challenged by
the Charleston club will be represented
by the Dragon, the winner of last years
race, and by a beautiful J0-foot-oVer-all
craft that is being built by Mr. Frank
Strachan at Brunswick. The Charles
tonians will enter a 49-foot-over-all yacht
that is being built for them at the North.
1t is said the Charleston boat IS well
under way. and that it will be but few
weeks before she will be ready 10 turn
over 10 the purchasers. The Charleston
ians are considering how they shall not
her down the coast, whether on steam
er's deck or under her own sails 1t IS
said here that her dimensions viii pre-
clude her being brought by steamship
When the Dragon was at the North and
was to be brought to Savannah, it was
ascertained that her forty-five feet in the
clear would prevent her being brought b.
steamship. Il is believed the Charleston
yacht as did the Dragon, will have to
come down the coast under her own
canvas.

WE'RE APPLES OF DEsCORD.
New York and Savannah Produce
Men Have Legal Differences.


The case of Bernard Abel & Co. of New
York against Collins, Grayson & Co. was
on trial in the City Court yesterday, and
at 1890 O'Clock last night the jury re-
turned a sealed verdict. This will be
opened when court convenes this morn
ing.
The case was an action on account for
1888, claimed to be due the plaintiffs by
the defendants. The latter conceded that
$50 was due. but repudiated any further
liability. Their contention was that the
several shipments of apples upon which
the plaintiffs claim was based had not
come up to representations and were not
of the quality ordered. The apples, con-
tended the defendants, were of inferior
quality and in bad condition, and they
had been able to dispose of them only at
a much lower price than they would have
received for those they had ordered and
ised to ship
Evidence in the case was heard until
nearly s O'Clock last night, and the case
was argued and the charge of the court
made to the jury. This was at about 9
o'clock, and in an hour and a half an
agreement had been reached. In the trial
of the case the plaintiffs were represented
by Messrs. O'Connor. O'Byrne and Hart
ridge and the defendants by Messrs. Os-
borne & Lawrence.

DAYS GOT THREE YEARS.
Convicted Burglar Sentenced to
Short Term in Penitentiary.

:
The Superior Court did a rushing crimi-
nal business yesterday. Besides the case
of w. A. Bexley there were several other
trials, one of these latter being that of
oliver Days, charged with burglary.
Days was charged with breaking and
entering the house of William Weaver, at
2 O'clock in the morning, and depriving
the owner of the house of a gold watch
for which he entertained an especial fond
ness. The jury found Days guilty, but
because of the fact that the evidence
upon which he was convicted was circum-
stantial, Judge Falligant limited the pun
ishment to three years in the penitentiary
a shorter term than is usually conferred
upon convicted burglars.
Lucius Small had been indicted by TIE
grand jury for the larceny after trust of
a trunk contided to him by c. Gaffney for
delivery at the home of the latter. The
negros contention was that he had been
unable to find the house and afterward
had been equally unable to find the owner
of the trunk. The evidence of wi nesses
bore out this sta tement and Mr. w. F. Sla-
ter, who appeared for the state, asked
himself for the direction of verdict Of
not guilty. Judge Falligant so directed
and the verdict was returned
Elliott Marshall was found not guilty Of
assault with intent to murder Charley
Williams. The alleged murderous assault
was said to have been committed on Jan.
H. Elliott said the shooting was acciden-
tai and the jury agreed with him.

petition of Mr.. j. S. Collins on behalf of

taken by the city for the opening of
streets and lanes in that section. Another
matter that will probably be discussed is
the request bf the Southern Asphalt Com
pany for the payment of the bill for re-
pairing from November, 1895, to Novem4
Der, 1897. This work was done while Mr..
Williuk was Commissioner of Public
Works, and the bill was not paid because
he would not accept the work, on the
ground that it was not satisfactory.
