DAY NURSERIES, NEW HOME.
Will BE Begun shortly and Finished
About Christmas.

About Christmas.
The Kings Daughters Union has sue
ceeded in raising the $1,000 necessary
to begin work on the building at Mont
gomery and Thirty-sixth streets, which
will be used Jointly by the Day Nurs-
cry of this organization and the Kate
Baldwin Free kindergarten system.
The announcement that the sum had
been completed was made at a meet
ing of the union held at the Sunday
school room of the Independent Pres
byterian Church yesterday afternoon.
This amount will not, by any means,
cover the cost of the lot and the unions
share of the expense of the building.
To do this another $3.50 is needed. For
this sum the union will have to depend,
as before, on the generosity of its
friends and those that appreciate the
value of the charity to which the
money is to be devoted.
Work on the new building is to be
begun, it is hoped, by Oct. 1, and be
sufficiently near completion for the
nursery to move in about Christmas.
The Kings Daughters wish to express
their appreciation of the $500 appro-
priated to the Day Nursery by the
county.

AT LEAST $4,000
ALDERMAN DIXON SAYS STREET
FRANCHISE SHOULD BRING.
SHOULD BE MINIMUM PRICE.
WHEN FRANCHISE Is PUT UP BY
COUNCIL FOR AUCTION.

Streets and Lanes Committee, to
which the Report of the City En-
Sineer Was Referred, VIII Meet
This Afternoon to Consider 1t.
There Arc Five Petitioners Before
Council-A1dermnn Dixon Favors a
Plan to Sell One or Two Streets
That All Petitioners May Want,
Throwing In such other streets as
the Successful Bidder May Desire,
Provided Council Considers Them
Available for Railway Purposes.
The question of street railway fran
chises will be considered by the
Streets and Lanes Committee of the
City Council this afternoon. The report
OF the city engineer, made to the May
or some days ago and published by the
Morning News, will be discussed by the
members of the committee, as it was
referred to it by Council -
Five petitions for franchises have
been submitted to Council. The petit
TONERS are the Savannah Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Railway, the Savan-
nah Transit Company, Mr.. d. B. Les
ter, Mr.. j. S. Collins and Mr.. E. A.
Richards. Mr.. Lester has been the only
one who has shown very much concern
about his petition since it was sub
mitted, as he has followed 1t up with
several communications. The other pc
titioners have kept quiet, waiting for
Council to act when 1t might.
Alderman Dixon. a member of the
committee, favors selling the desired
franchises to the highest bidder, some
surety of good faith being required,
both to secure the amount bid and to
insure the successful bidder construct
ing a system. He said yesterday that
he considered that the best plan would
be to settle on some one or two
streets, such as Montgomery and
Price, that all the petitioners want,
and then offer those streets for sale,
the other streets requisite to complete
a system and considered by Council as
available for railway purposes being
included in the sale.
This plan has advantages. All the
petitioners do not ask for the same
streets. All, however. it is understood,
ask specifically for Montgomery. AS
regards other streets, some of the Pc
titioners want some of them and some
want others. BY selling Montgomery
street, for instance, giving the buyer
the right to construct a system upon
such other streets as Council may de-
eide upon as available, the disposal of
the franchises would be simplifed.
Alderman Dixon was asked what he
regarded as a fair price for franchise
for the construction of street rail-
way system in Savannah. There
should be a minimum price of $4,000
fixed" he replied. Savannah is a
growing city, and the streets are worth
something. A franchise was disposed of
in Norfolk few days ago, and It
brought $4,000, rival companies being
out for it. If Norfolk's franchises are
so valuable, surely ours in Savannah
should not be given away or sold for a

BOARD DID NOT MEET.
Repairs That Have Been Made to
Schools During summer

SCHOOLS During summer.
The September meeting of the Board
Of Education was not held yesterday
afternoon. There were not enough of
the members in the city for a quorum
The next regular meeting will be held
Oct. IA, but it is more than probable
that the postponed meeting will be
held before that time, as there are
some matters that should be attended
to before Oct. 1. 1t is thought that a
meeting will be called as soon as
enough of the board to make a quorum
return.
The most important matter that was
to come before the meeting yesterday
was that of passing the bills for the
repairs that have been made on the
different schools. Those on which work
has been done during the summer are
ST. Patricks, which has been color
washed outside and painted and white
washed inside, and of which the roof,
also, has been thoroughly repaired:
Chatham Academy, where some very
slight repairs have been made; the
Cathedral and the Barnard Street
Schools which have been whitewashed;
and the East Broad and the West
Broad Street Schools, which have been
plastered. A little plastering was done
also at the Massie School. At the
Cathedral School many changes have
also been made in the plumbing fix
lures.
The work of putting in place the fur
niture OF the new Chatham Academy
continues, and will be finished, it is
thought, by the end of this week

More than 200 ladies and children

Guards Hall to complete the organiza-
ton of the forces that are to give EN-
chaptment," the great fairy play that
is to be presented three nights, Oct. 1,
2 and 3, for the benefit of the State
Fair. President George w. Owens,
of the Fair Association, Secretary ]. c.
Shaw, and Mr.. j.. E. Owens, author and

Mrs. L. H. Raines was made general

Carmichael, Julia Owens, Maggie
Owens, Mary Ryals. JEANNE Haines
and Mrs. Raines will have charge OF

esses. Mrs. L. w. Nelson will be in
charge of the fairies, while Mrs. G. E.
Suits will direct the butterflies. There
are several other committees for which
heads have not yet been provided, and
many ladies will be added to them and
to committees for which chairmen have
been secured. Some fifty ladies will as
sist in the work, a number that Mr.. j.
E. Owens regards as ample. Rehear-
sails will begin this afternoon at 5
o'clock at the Guards Hall and will be
held almost daily.
One thousand participants are de-
sired, and the ladies are still busy Sc
curing children and young men and
young ladies who will take part. The

ment of free day at the Fair for all
who help in the play, and there may be
other advantages for the children.

Trnfic Manager winburn VIII Leave
Details to Others.

General Freight Agent w. A. Win
burn of the Central Railroad, when he
becomes traffic manager, succeeding
Mr.. E. H. Hinton on Oct. /, will have
no Office force of his own, save his Sec
rotary. 1t is learned that he will leave
all details to the general freight agent,
yet to be appointed, and his force of
clerks. 1t is therefore probable that
the present Office force EN-
ployed by Mr.. Winburn as
general freight agent will be
retained. Mr.. Winburn and President
John M. Egan are in New York. so that
definite information could not be Sc
cured yesterday.
Mr. r. X. Lord, who has been chief
clerk under Mr.. Hinton during the
latter's incumbency of the position of
traffic manager, and Mr.. E. F. Hollis,
who came to Mr.. Hinton as chief clerk
in the Ocean Steamship Company work,
when it was a part of Mr.. Hinton's du-
ties, will leave the service of the Cen
trail on Oct. 1. Mr.. Hollis will go to the
passenger department Of the Cotton
Belt at st. Louis, but Mr.. Lord has not
yet formed his plans.

HANSON CABS POPULAR.
Attract Much Attention and Were in
Great Demand.

The two hanson cabs received by the
Savannah Transfer Company last week
were put into service yesterday for the
first time. Vehicles of this kind are
a novelty in Savannah, so they at
tracted great deal of attention, and
as they were driven down the principal
streets there was as much "rubbering'
as though they had been headed by a
brass band or formed a part of a cir
Gus parade.
Their attraction, however, lies not in
the novelty alone, for they are exCep-
tionally handsome vehicles. They We're
made in Bridgeport, Conn, by Hincks
& Johnson, and are of the model that
was awarded the first prize in the
Horse Show at Madison Square Gar
den last season. The interior of each
is handsomely upholstered in blue and
in white linen, and in each there are a
number of inset mirrors. The mat is
of white rubber and the foot rests re-
movable blue cushions
The exterior of the cabs is of a very
dark finish and highly polished. while
all OF the metal work is nickeled. The
fittings of the vehicles include all of
the automatic arrangements, such as
the door lever. the electric signal bell.
the cabs is in keeping with the finish
of the vehicles. Horses were specially
bought for this work, and Mr.. f. l..
Pickering, the manager of the Savan-
nah Transfer Company, has also Sc
cured the services of stylish New York
drivers. '.-..
The vehicles are intended not only
for special occasions. but for general
service. That they will prove extreme
ly popular is instanced by the fact that
before they had been taken from the
stable yesterday five orders for them
were received at the Office of the COM
pany.
The Transfer Company has placed
orders for four more of these cabs,
which are expected TO be here in about
two months. There is no doubt that
the Transfer Company's progressive
methods and it's faith in Savannah's
desire for metropolitan improvements
will be rewarded by liberal patron
age

JENKINS WILL REFEREE.
Has Been Chosen to stay I'm Ring
with DAILY and Bennett.

Shorty jenkins has been chosen as
referee for the DAILY Bennett bout to be
held at Ford's Opera House on Sept.
16. The choice was between Jenkins
and Owen Ziegler. Those looking after
Benefits end of the bout preferred Jen-
kins, while Days managers wanted
ziegler. 1t was finally agreed that
Jenkins should be the man. He has
acted before many crowds of Savan-
nah sports and has yet to fail to give
satisfaction. Ziegler has been all right
when he has officiated, but the sports
seem to want Jenkins. There is talk
of coaching from without the ring be-
ing suppressed. This is INDUCED in by
Al McMurray, who gives signals, but
the Bennett crowd wants none of it,
McMurray is backing Daily, and unless
some action is taken, the finger-snap-
ping may be looked for, for McMurray
works his men by signals.

WATCHING BAR KEEPERS.
Good Government Spies Not the Only
Ones Working.

The next session of the grand jury
has been called for Friday, instead of
this afternoon, and at that time the
remainder of the cases to be presented
by the Good Government League will
be taken up.
1t is not thought that any more of
the sports are to be presented, but
there are quite a number of saloonmen
on the list of alleged violators. They
are not confined to any one section of
the city, and from all accounts the
Leagues men have been quite active
for several Sundays. 1t is said that
some of those who will be presented to
the grand jury have been indicted for
the same thing before. In the neighbor-
hood of fifty witnesses will be sum-
mcned to attend the session of Fri
day.
1t is said on the streets that the
Leagues men are not the only inform
ers, but that considerable information
is given out as a matter of spite.

PARKER A SAvANNAHIAN.
Was for Time Constable of Fourth
Militia District.

Jim Parker, the negro who was the
first to seize Czolgosz after he had
shot President Mckinley, and who by
SO doing prevented the would-be
assassin from firing again, is a native
of Savannah, and lived here for many
years, being a county officer connect
ed with the court of VIM. H. Wood
house, for a long time magistrate of
the Fourth militia district.
Although Parker has been away from
Savannah for number of years, he is
still remembered by many of the white,
as well as the colored citizens. He was
born some forty-three years ago in a
house at the corner of Lincoln and
Broughton streets, where also his
mother had been born. While young
he was taken by his parents to Allan
ia, and lived there for some time, but
came back to Savannah, and entered
the service of Woodhouse, whose cousin
he is. Woodhouse says that he was
brave constable and did excellent
work, but firing of it, went back to
Atlanta, where for a time he was con-
nected with the police force, and af-
terward was mail carrier. Finally he
drifted North and became a waiter, a
trade that he has since followed.
So far as is known, there has been
no movement among the negroes of Sa-
vannah to show their appreciation of
Parker's act, though at a meeting of
the Mutual Benefit Club, a social or
ganization, last night, after a silent
toast to the Recovery of the Presi-
dent" had been drunk, another was
proposed and drunk to 1.-The Negro
Hero Whose Bravery Had Prevented
a Successful Attack on the Presidents

DEMAND FOR HOUSES.
City Growing and More People want
Houses.

Real estate dealers agree. particular
ly those who do house renting bust
ness, that the demand for small houses
and flats has never been better in Sa-
vannah, and this is despite of the fact
that an unusual number OF people are
building homes for themselves. The
theory advanced to account for this
demand is that the city is. rapidly
growing in population, more rapidly
than at any time in recent years.

in n Peculiar Way.
Supt. John E. Mcguire of the Fire De-
partment met with a painful accident
yesterday afternoon and will be off
duty for several days. & :
Shortly after 4 o'clock a test alarm
was sent in from Box 81, and the su-
perintendent, who was sitting in his
office, jumped to the sliding pole on
his way to his buggy. By.some means
he failed to get a secure hold on the
pole, and, sliding down, he landed
heavily on the floor below. His right
hand was slightly burned by the fric-
ton, and his left leg was severely
sprained.
Immediately after the accident Supt.
Mcguire was driven to his home and
Fire Marshal George Mouro was called
back on duty. The injuries are not
thought to be of a severe character,
and the superintendent expects to re-
sumo duty in a few days.
