LOTS WENT AT Low PRICES.
Jones Meetings Proved Too Great
Attraction for Real Estate Sale.

Jones Meetings Proved Too Great
Attraction for Real Estate Sale.
The sale of lots by the Chatham Real
Estate and Improvement Company, con-
Quoted by Mr.. c. H. Dorset, on the prop
erty. yesterday afternoon, was not
lively one. The attendance was not large
and the bidding was apathetic.
The lots, sixty-nine in number, are sit
uated between Anderson and Thirty
fourth streets and Price and Plant streets.
They have a frontage of from twenty
seven to thirty feet and depth, most
of them, of from one hundred to one hun
dred and three feet. They are desirable
from many viewpoints and were offered
for sale on exceptionally easy terms. IN
der ordinary circumstances these favoring
conditions would seem to have been suffi-
cient to have guaranteed a good sale,
but not so yesterday and some Fremont
ton of this fact seemed to Cypress Mr..
Dorset before he began. He prefaced his
opening talk by saying he had not real
lied, when he advertised the lots for sale,
that he would have to compete in point
of drawing power with the Jones meet
ings. in the Park Extension. Had he
thought of this he said. he would have
deferred the sale until some later day.
Then he put up lot H and lot II. on the
south side of Anderson street. just east
of Price. These lots have a frontage of
thirty and twenty-nine feet and a depth
of from 115 to III feet. They were offered
with the privilege of buying one or both
and were bought in by John L. Archer,
agent, for $445 each.
Lot %, on Thirty-first street, was sold
to William McDonough for $500, and lot
1872, on Thirty-fourth street, to A. A. Art
ley for S305.
Then Mr.. Dorsett said ne was tired. He
was willing. however. to do the square
thing by those who had attended the sale
for the purpose of bidding and he gave
en- option on any of the lots remaining
unsold. at the amount of the last bid
1905. The option is 40 remain open until
O'Clock to-day.
Before he had left the ground, lot 122
had been taken by Oscar Moody lot 11s
by Mrs. Emma V. Owens and lot 9S by
]. W. Brightwell. under the terms of the
option. 1t is probable that others will be
taken to-day.

United States Attorney General Philsn-
der Knox. and was reappointed Assistant
United States District Attorney for this

for the position, but the Savannah attor-
ney viii remain in Office for at least four
years longer.
Mr.. Leaken was in several conferences
with reference 90 plans being made by
the government for the recovery of the
money alleged 10 have been stolen by
Capt. Carter. He stated, however, that
he could not discuss this subject. al
though ne was not surprised at the quite
recent decision OF Judge Brown. 1t was
Mr.. Leaken's pleasure TO sit on the bench
with the New York judge, VINO has been
made famous by his actions in the cases
against Greene aud the GaynOrs. The
Savannah attorney talked with Judge
Brown about the case.
The Maritime Law Association of the
United States gave banquet in New
York, and the programme shows that the
Savannah attorney was one or four
speakers. His subject was Subsidy" Of
which Mr.. Leaken is an ardent advocate.
1t was Mr.. Leaken's good fortune to
meet Bishop Kelley and obtain an invita-
.tion TO witness the imposing ceremony in
Baltimore. when the beretta was con-
ferred upon Mgr. Martinelh. The occasion
was brilliant one. and Mr.. Leaken saw
Cardinal Gibbons place the red hat on its
owner.

the destruction of the convent. 1t had
been reported that nun mad been ill
treated, and a crowd was organized to
destroy the institution. Mr.. Leaken's
grandfather stood al the gate with pis
tol in each hand. and announced that the
mob would have 10 step over his dead
body before entering the sacred edifice.
Gen. Leaken was a determined man.
and was loved by all who knew him. He
promised that he would go through the
place and make a personal investigation
Of the charge and report to the crowd of
angry citizens. This he did and found
as he had felt that the report was false
and without foundation. This historical
incident was recalled with pleasure by
Dit. Ieaken to Bishop Kelley. The pis-
tolls held on that eventful day by Gen.
Ledken are now in the possession of The
Savannah lawyer
Mir. Leaken says that he did not talk
politi 8 during his trip and that he heard
but little OF tho Tillman-McLaurin row
while in Washington. The assistant dis
trict attorney does not anticipate any de-
cided change in the policy of the Re
publican party in the near future. He
is of tho opinion that it will take con-
siderable time to accomplish the proposed
change.

venture Cemetery This Morning.
The remains of Henry Juchter. the Ger
man ship chandler who was drowned in
Adams Creek, near Warsaw Island, ear
ly Sunday morning, were recovered yes
terday Afternoon. The body was high and
dry in the marsh, where it was probably
left by the tide Wednesday night. The
searchers had used no dynamite and
spent the morning in watching for buzz
yards. They expected that when the body
fioated the birds would locate it and this
way point out where it lay. The watch
ers did not have long to wait.
A strip of marsh extends about half
a mile from where the ship chandler had
fallen into the water Several men fol-
lowed in that direction in a small boat
and got within twenty-five yards OF
the place. The little boat could not be
navigated in the cut in the marsh and
the searchers had to walk some little
distance before the body was reached.
The remains were taken to the waters
edge and placed in a small boat. The par

the body was held there until the arrival
Of the undertaken. 1t was placed In
box and taken to Bonaventure Cemetery.
Last night it was placed in metallic
coffin. Mrs. Juchter was notified, but
was not permitted to view the body. 1t
had been in the water almost five days.
The funeral Will take place at the res
idence. No. 200 Waldburg street east, at
o'clock this morning, and services will
be held at Bonaventure Cemetery an hour
later. MIR. Juchter was well known and
popular, and the funeral will no doubt be
largely attended. The services will be
conducted by Rev. NJ. j. Epting, pastor
of St PauPs Lutheran Church.
Coroner Keller was notified of the find
ing of the body and gave permission for
its removal TO the cemetery. All Of Mr..
Juchter's personal property was found
and taken in charge by DR.. Keller. A
watch and chain and $3.50 in silver were
taken from his vest pocket. An inquest
will be held tonight at Fox & Weeks
undertaking rooms on Liberty street.
An account of the drowning has al
ready been given in the Morning News,
and the witnesses before the coroner's
jury VIII only repeat the story. Mr.. Juch-
ter was on the tug Jennie E.. and was
on his way to Sapelo on business. He left
Thunderbolt with his drummer. Lands
verk, and a negro porter Saturday night.
No one saw or heard him fall in the wa
ter. although he was discovered struggling
against strong tide, by the negro Sim
mons, and futile efforts were made to res
cue him from a watery grave.
