NEW APARTMENT HOUSES.
Mr.. p. A. Warning VIII Soon Present
an Innovation in Dwellings.

An innovation in the way of apartment
houses will be seen soon in Savannah.
Mr.. p. A. Waring is to build two houses,
each with four fats. The houses will be
erected on the south side of Waldourg
street, between Habersham and Price,
and work will probably beg n. this month.
Mr.. Waring believes he has solved the
difficulty of affording a complete house,
with all conveniences, at the least pos
sible rental. Each of the flats in the
apartment houses viii have a separate en-
trance, and the buildings will be so con-
structed as to make each fiat distinct in
itself
The erection of the initial apartment
dwellings will be followed in course of
time by other work of the same charac-
ter. Mr.. Warning is convicted that he has
hit upon just what famHias of moderate
circumstances nee d, and he believes the
demand for the flats will be such as to
provide occupants as fast as they can be
completed. The section of the city in
which Mr.. Waring will build ras be n
greatly improved by the heirs of the War
ing estate of~late, some $4,000 having been
expended within the last two years.
With all the work that Is still contem-
plated, builders viii yet get a great deal
of business from the Warnings.

FLYING JACK DEAD.
WelI-KnOwn Negro Character Died
From Exposure.

From Exposure.
Jack Robinson, a welllnown negro
character called Flying Jack" died from
exposure In a barn at Sandhy station
Wednesday night and Coroner Keller
gave a certificate to that effect yester-
day morning. after making an investiga-
ton.
Robinson was about 40 years of age and
probably spent half of that time in Gus
tody. He was known 40 every patrol
man on the force and caused tears to roll
down the cheeks of several police court
magistrates. He was never arrested for
drunkenness without being able to give
some unique excuse, and he probably
caused more laughter in Police Court
than any dozen prisoners who ever ap-
peared In that tribunal. Several times
Jack from Sdndhy'' signed the pledge
but at no time did he abstain from strong
drink, which was really the cause of his
death. When under the influence Of
liquor the negro would hurl bricks at
any one who CHANGED to address him and
would then dash away like a flash of
lightning. lie could outrun a horse even
when intoxicated and for thisreas on was
given the name of Flying Jack"
Robinson was in the city Tuesday, got
drunk and in some manner escaped the
police and returned to Sandfiy. He crawl
ed into the barn of a negro named will
lam King and died there from exposure
on Wednesday night. Coroner Keller was
notified yesterday morning, and after an
investigation decided that an inquest was
unnecessary

UNDER MASSES OF FLOWERS.
The Grave of Mrs. David Wells Was
Hidden From View.

The funeral of Mrs. David Wells took
place from St Johns Church at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. The altar and
chancel were one mass of flowers and
floral designs of every description, which
mutely but beautifully testified the ad-
miration, respect and love in which Mrs.
Wells was so universally held.
These tributes of flowers had come from
several church organizations with which
Mrs. Wells had been so prominently iden-
titled during her life, from the members
of her family from the close personal
friends whom she had loved and cheri h
ed and from that lar ger number to whom
her life had been at. once comfort and N
SEPARATION and the basis of a cheerful no e.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. j. Herbert Woodward, assistant rec
tor of st. Johns Church, and the musi-
cal numbers by the VISITED choir. The
professional was the hymn, ooh Para
disc Greig's Funeral. March was played
as the body. the casket covered with
flowers. was borne down the broad CEN
ter aisle of the church. DuringNthe SER
vice the choir sang, abide With Me-"
and II Would not Live Away"
At the grave in Laurel Grove, Mr.
Woodward concluded the service of the
Episcopal Church for the dead. A quar-
tette, consisting of Messrs. Gordon,
Reeves. Woodlands and Blois sang,
ASLEEP in Jesus" Lead Kindly Lig' t."
Softly, Now the Light of Day" and q
Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" The
masses of flowers that had been used in
the decoration of the chancel of the
church were heaped upon the grave,
which they covered with lavish b aauty.
So many flowers and such beautiful ones
are rarely seen at funerals in Savannah,
and their abundance becomes more re-
markable when it is cors' dered that she
in whose honor they were sent gained
the love of the senders only through the
beauty of her private character and lie.

WOULD ORGANIZE A BAND.
Patronage of the City for Concerts
would Help Musicians.

would Help Musicians.
The prospect of the city's patronage of
a good band by Sunday concerts in the
park has induced musicians to consider
an organization. The aid of the city
would mean sufficient addition to what
a good band might earn in other ways
than by giving Sunday afternoon concerts
to support il.
The last white band in Savannah was
that of the First Infantry. That, how
ever. was disorganized during the Span
ish War, the regiment, or most of the
Savannah companies in it. having gone
off 10 enter the service. The band rap
idly melted away after that, and not
many of the members are still in the
city.
An impression that the instruments used
by that band are stil in the possession
of the First Infantry has prevailed, but
inquiry yesterday developed that this was
erroneous. The regiment did not own
the instruments, though 1t had contributed
500 toward their purchase. II had been
thought possible that some arrangement
might be made through which the city.
in the event of the passage of Alderman
Jones' prospective ordinance for Sunday
concerts, might secure the instruments
for the band that must be organized be
fore concerts can. be given.
Mddletons Band. colored, is the only
one now in existence in Savannah.
Sometimes engagements are frequent,
but for days it often happens that the
band does not have a call The mill
tary are its chief reliance, as II is al
ways secured for parades and often for
funeral escorts For such service the
cOlored organization does well, but it is
not believed that it would be a draw
ing card for Sunday afternoon concerts.
Alderman Jones believes the city's pat
ronage should be effective in bringing
about the organization of a first-class
band. A weekly engagement by the city
would mean that band would have that
much to rely upon with certainty, at
least during the summer, and the mill
tary and other occasions upon which its
services might be required, would tend
to bring up its earnings to a point that
would make it we'll worth the while OF
musician to belong to the band as sort
Of side line.
Savannah is probably one of very few
cities OF its size that has no white band.
A great many, particularly the military
nave long thought there should be such
an organization in the city. They are
inclined to think that one would follow
he passage of an ordinance authorizing
Sunday music in the Park.
Alderman Jones thinks the character of
the music to be rendered by a band on
Sunday afternoons should be left to
committee of Council. He would not APP
prove of rag-tir1e music, coon song tunes
and other very light melodies, though he
sees no reason why Sousa's marches and
music of that type should not be p.ayed
for the edification and pleasure of the
crowds that would doubtless gather 20
attend the concerts

PRICES WE'RE NOT GOOD.
Mr.. Archer Not Satisfied With Re-
suits of sale of Lots.

-
Mr.. John L. Archer,,s sale of building
lots in the southern section of the city
yesterday afternoon was not what Mr..
Archer desired in the way of prices.
In his opinion the prices for which the
lots sold do not correctly represent their
true value.
There was quite a crowd out, which
followed the auctioneer from one lot to
another, the sale progressed. But for
some reason the bidding was lethargic
and the prices obtained were certainly
not high. -e -.-
The first batch of lots sold were on the
west side of Bull street, between Fortieth
and Forty-first streets Lot % was sold
for $1,O25; lot "a for 1880 and lot q, at
the corner of Bull and Forty-first, for
$1650.
Lot 81, at the northeast corner of Whit
eker and Fortieth streets was sold for
$1,O7O. while lot g. adjoining the corner lot
on the north brought $50.
