A BOUT AT THEATER.
Tommy Feltz and Jimmy Kelly I'm a
25-Round Tomorrow Night,

n
25-Hound Tomorrow Night.
Tommy Feltz and Jimmy Kelly, who
are to meet in a 25-round bout at the
Theater tomorrow night, will finish
their training for that event to-day
and tomorrow night will enter the
ring in first-class shape. Both men are
fast and clever, and though Feltz has
the better reputation any degree of
cleverness that he possesses will be
very nearly offset by the better weight.
and longer reach of his opponent. The
bout bids fair to be warm one.
The next card in the fistic line will
be the mill between Jack Daily and
Jack Bennett. which will be pulled off
at the Theater the 10th of this month.
Though these men are even now in
pretty good shape and have ample time
to put on the finishing touches yet they
are hard at work, and when they en-
ter the ring on the night of the battle
Will be in the very pink of condition.
RUDE Ferns, one of the cleverest men
in the welterweight class. has already
been matched to meet the winner of
this bout. The date will be settled
later. but probably viii be on some
date during the State Fair.
Another bout that has been framed
up to come off during the Fair will
be between Oscar Gardener, the "Oma-
ha Kid" and Tim Callahan, who will
meet at 124 pounds: and still another
match to come off about the same time
is that between Tommy Feltz and Kid
st. Clair. 1t is thought that another
match may be held in Savannah be-
tween Tommy Corcoran and Jim
Burke, but no definite information on
this matter has yet been received,

PIANO PLAYING MUST STOP.
Recorder Myrick Orders a Reform in
TenderIoin District.

Recorder Myrick sounded the tocsin
in Police Court yesterday morning, and
the Tenderloin must shut up at mid
night hereafter. The squeaky pianos
must be closed, and peace must reign
during the early morning hours. Peo-
pie residing on Habersham street have
entered complaint against one of the
houses, and the hearing of this case
brought out the order of the court.
Louise Grant was recently docketed
for cursing in her house, but the
charge was not sustained in court,
and she was released. Sunday morning
after l o'clock. there was piano play
ing in the same house, and a resident
of Habersham street was Weakened by
the noise. He testified yesterday that
he made an investigation, and saw a
negro playing the piano in the Grant
wcman's place. In the face of positive
evidence the defendant denied the
charge. and had three young men as
witnesses for her. The Recorder stated
that he did not think that piano play
ing could be interpreted to mean disor-
derly conduct, and dismissed the
charge.
The court informed the complainant
that he could docket the woman for
maintaining public nuisance, and adj
vised him that this would be the proper
action for him to take. The Recorder
then gave out as his judicial opinion
that piano playing and dancing in the
Tenderloin will not be tolerated after
midnight, and put the residents of that
section on notice. The prosecutor stat
ed his intention of either e-docketing
the woman on a new charge or. fore
ing the young men who appeared as
witnesses for her to go before the grand
jury and prove the character OF the
house.
The fight on the Grant woman may
be extended to the other houses on the
avenue, and the moral condition of the
street may be changed. The gentlems n
who is appearing against the Grant
woman says that he owns the house in
which he lives on Habersnam street,
and that he does not intend to stop
until he has brought about perfect or
der around the corner. He alleges that
AS matters have been gong on Turing
the summer his wife and daughter have
been annoyed. and their nights made
partially sleepless by the orgies Of the
residents of the Tenderloin, and those
who visit the precinct.

ORDINANCE FOR SIDEWALKS.
More of Artificial Stone 10 be Laid in
Southern Section.

More OF Artificial stone TO be Laid in
Southern Section.
Little business seems to be awaiting
the City Council, which will meet this
afternoon. 1t was learned yesterday
that there was little likelihood of a
report being made upon any of the
matters in which the public is espe-
cially interested. The Streets ard
Lanes Committee has no report ready
as yet upon the petitions for street
railway franchises, nor has the Spe-
cial Committee that was appointed to
look into the matter of compensation
for the Collinsville property of the
former Oglethorpe Investment Com
pany, which was used for opening
streets and lanes.
No report will be made upon the ex-
tension of the city limits. The MEM
bers of Council who are engineering
the enlargement of the citys territory
have not arranged everything for a
report, but it is not improbable that
they will be in readiness two weeks
hence, when Council will meet again
An ordinance for sidewalks in por-
lions of the southern section that were
not provided with them will be intro
duced by Alderman Watson. chairman
of the Streets and Lanes Committee.
The sidewalks are to be laid with arti-
flcial stone on Thirty-fourth, Thirty
fifth and Thirty-sixth streets, between
Habersham and Montgomery. Their
width will vary according to the street.
The ordinances for sidewalks and
paving on West Broad street will be
placed upon their second reading and
1t is probable that they will be passed
without opposition.

LITTLE PROPERTY SOLD.
Not Much Real Estate offered Pro-
spective Purchasers.

Not Much Real Estate offered Pro-
spective Purchasers.
The public sales at the Court House
yesterday attracted a small crowd,
probably for the reason that very little
property was offered, and the weather
was uncomfortably warm. Mr.. c. H.
Dorset sold the property on the south
west corner of West Boundary and
Olive streets to s., f. and w. Police
Sergeant Leonard for $500. The i'm
provements consist of a two-story
dwelling and store. He also sold one
share in the Forsyth Investment Com

vile, were knocked down by Mr.. Dor
sett to Mr.. Isaac Beckett at So lot.
Two lots in Tyrconnel ward were sold
by Sheriff Schwarz to Mr.. Isaac Beck
EFT, agent, for $500. There is a mort
gage of $4,000 on the property. The
same sheriff sold a piece of property
on York and Price streets to Mrs. Kate
S. Crane for $3.50.
The property at No. III East Bound
airy street was sold to the same pur-
chaser by Auctioneer Platshek for $780,
A lot in Gainesville ward was sold
to Mr.. John Brennan for $1,50O The

PLENTY OF PLEDGES
LABOR AND COMMERCIAL UNION
FULL OF ASSURANCES.
AN UNLUcKY THIRTEEN.
SMALL ATTENDANCE CAUSED POST
PoNEMENT OF MEETING.

Chairman Announced That He Had
Written Pledges Enough 10 Elect
the Clubs Candidate for Ordinary.
Thirteen mt the Meeting-County
Executive Committee Will Act on
Primary Rules Tomorrow or FRI
day Night.
There was no meeting of the Chat
ham County Labor and Commercial
Union last night. One was scheduled to
come off in Labor Hall at Bryan and
Abercorn streets, but at O'Clock there
were only ten persons in the hall, not
including Candidate S. L. Lazaron, and
Chairman w. H. Barclay. The arriv-
al of a representative of the Morning
News swelled the gathering to thir-
teen. Because of the slim crowd the
meeting was postponed until next Mon-
s day night.
Chairman Barclay stated that mis-
take had been made in advertising the
meeting, and that those who glanced
at the notice were naturally led to be-
lieve that the union would meet
tonight. The chairman stated that he
had pledges enough in writing to as
sure the election of the candidate of
the new political organization. Mr..
Lazaron, as ordinary. He regretted
that mistake should have been made
in issuing the call, and said that he
feels sure the meeting Monday will be
largely attended. Attractions at the
theater, including the Feltz-K Kelly bout
and the meeting of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee, made the postpone
ment until next week necessary.
Acting Chairman Alexander of the
Executive Committee will probably
call meeting for Friday night, and an
interesting session is anticipated. Now
that Mr.. Stubs is out of the field Mr..
Hartridge intends to make an active
campaign. This candidate. who has
placed himself upon platform unal-
terably opposed to vote-buying, will
probably write a letter tomorrow to
the committee. and ask that the sub
ject of vote-buying be discussed at
the meeting to be held for the adoption
Vi IuleS 10 BONCTu Tie Ou
Oct. 10.
Mr.. Hartridge is thoroughly in earn
est and will endeavor to show the mem
bers of the committee the need of the
adoption of some stringent rules on the
subject to operate against corruption
at the polls. The candidate will prob
ably go so far as to suggest certain
rules to the committee and will urge
that they be carefully considered. Col.
John Juchter, a member of the COM
mittee, is with Mr.. Hartridge on the
matter of making rules to stop vote
buying. Col. Juchter is of the opinion
that the evil can be stopped, and in
sists that if the members of the COM
mittee will be serious, and bind them
selves together to ferret out the crime,
and have the evildoers punished, there
will be no trouble in putting stop to
the practice. Col. Juchter made a
speech on this line at the last meeting
of the committee, and stated yesterday
that when the subject is brought up at
the next meeting he will have some
thing more to say.
Col. r. F. Harmon stated yesterday
that he will make an announcement in
the very near future. He is a candi-
date at this time, but If he finds, he
says, that 1T will require money to be
elected he is going to stay out of the
race.

Not De Less Than That.
The tax rate for Chatham county for
1901 will be fixed at special meeting
of the County Commissioners, called by
Acting Chairman Moore for this after
noon. The returns made to Atlanta by
the several large corporations doing
business in Savannah, have not yet
been received from the controller gem
eral, but the Commissioners will make
the returns made during past years and
will estimate the amount of taxes that
will be collected from that source.
The estimate to be made from the
returns for previous years will show
that in round numbers there is $32, 000,-
900 worth of taxable property in the
county. The expenditure for the year
as estimated by the Commissioners in
the budget prepared for the grand Jury
In March was placed at 1851, 526.0S. The
Increased appropriation of $4,000 for
