LOTS SOLD WITH 4 RUSH.
Eleventh and Twelfth Streets Realty
Brought Good Prices.


The sale of lots on Eleventh street. be-
tween Barnard and Whitaker streets yes
terday afternoon, indicates that the de-
mand for Savannah real estate is by no
means satisfied.
Mr. John l.. Archer had eleven lots to
sell and it took only about twenty min
utes to sell them. From the eager and
rapid bidding apparently it would have
been as easy TO have sod fifty. The terms
we're $25 cash and s. a month, with 6 per
cent. interest. Such terms as these have
thrown the market open to most anybody
who has any desire to own anything, or
who wants to save some money In way
that viii be profitable.
1t cannot be said that the lots sold yes
teIday brought high prices, but the very
rapid manner in which the bidding was
done shows that the demand was strong
The first lot sold was on the south side of
Eleventh street the third from the corner
of Whitaker and went to w. NJ Carter
for $3.50. v w. Lebey bought the adjoining
lot at 500; w. H. Peck got the two next
lots at $500 each; MIR. A. d. Kent took the
remaining two on this block at 500 each
These We're all the lots offered on Eleventh
street and brought an average of $685.
each
The crowd then moved to Twelfth street
the first two lots offered. being the third
and fourth from the corner of Barnard,
were bought by Mr.. c. H. Leopold for
5000 each. The next lot went to Mr.. " ].
Basler at $3.50. The two remaining lots
were taken by Mr.. James Hunter at $546
each. The average on this block was
about $3.50. The lots sold belonged to
Messrs. Hugh Logan and ]. S. Collins,
who sold them only for the purpose. of
reinvesting in Collinsvilie, where they all
ready have large interests. A remarkable
fact an connection with recent auction
sales is that although the terms on all
these sales have been remarkably easy,
more than half of the purchasers have
preferred to pay cash.

viewed the work accomplished during the

said Supervisor Blum yesterday and we
expect to get all or almost all of the pop
ulation of the city included in our COM
pleted lists. Should there be omissions,
they will spring from causes over which
we can exercise no control not from in
attention or lack of zeal or neglect. 1t is
my hope that any citizen of Savannah
who entertains even an apprehension that
his name has not been included in the
census will notify me of the fact, so that
] may make an investigation, and if the
apprehension conveys face the omission

A TRIPLET OF CHICKEN THIEVES
Caught in the Act of Robbtng .
Springfield RoOxt.

In Nose Murtar, Robbie Cohen. and
Tommy Ryan, the police captured yester-
day three rogues who are young in years
but old in crime. The particular offense
this time is chicken stealing, a charge
on which at least two of the boys were ar
rested once before, though they escaped
merith punishment as the prosecutor
withdrew the charge on account of the
tender years of the young rascals. The
scene of the last theft is near the powder
magazine, where the boys were taken in
the act of carrying off the chickens be-
longing to Julia Hart a colored woman
who lives in that vicinity. Ryan's part in
the affair is the more reprehensible and to
be wondered at, as he. was discharged from
the Recorders Court on charge of steal
ing fowers only a few hours before he was
caught in the commission of the second
theft.

met with serious difficulties en- route,

all. One fellow remarked that they

device for plucking the feathers from
the carcasses of chickens that is an
Improvement over the old way of pick
ing them by hand. The chickens are
treated much in the way that wheat is
rid of its chaff. There is receptacle
in which the fowl is placed after being
killed, and into this is turned several
cross currents of air from electrical
fans revolving at the rate of 5000 revo-
buttons per minute. In the twinkling
of an eye the bird is stripped of its
feathers, even to the tiniest particle of
