THE NEW ST. JosEPH'S lNFIRMARY.
Re Opened Reception Patients Sept. L.

in so far as accommodations for pri-
vate patients extends, can be found
than the new section of st. Joseph's.
There are no wards, but 1t
is the expectation of the Sisters to add
them at some future time. They Will
continue their efforts to accumulate
means for a perfected hospital, just as,
for many years, they strove until they
obtained the means for the erection or
the addition to the old building at the
corner of Taylor and Habersham
streets.
Complete in all its details of con-
struction and equipment, the addition,
designed by Mr.. Henry Urban, cost
$4,000. The building fronts upon ray
lor street. being just west of the OLD
building, with which 1t is connected IN
the basement and upon the FIRST ana
second floors by covered passage ways
Upon Lincoln street there is also an
entrance, designed for the reception OF
patients from ambulances. a
room for such cases, with bath facili-
ties adjoining, is upon the basement
floor, and an electric elevator aftords
means for the removal of patients
to the floors above.
characterization is given the building
by the very decorative effect OF the
three broad verandas, supported py
brick columns, that run about the east
side and the front of the building. Not
only are the verandas decorative, out
they will afford a convenience for con-
valescents that will be heartily appre-
ciated. In other details, window nm
ishings and main entrance, too, the
building finds ornamentation. In
RI IL . aolr a
attractive addition to the neighbor-
hood. Indeed, IL would grace the finest
quarter of the city.
In all there are over forty rooms In
the building, all designed for the ac-
commodation of private patients, save
those that are devoted to the purposes
that become necessities in connection
with hospital. Great care was taken
In the construction of the building,
from basement to attic. Plain, but very
substantial, is the basement, where
are located dining rooms and the kitch-
en-, large and airy. the engine room for
steam heating for which the building
Is equipped, the elevator motor room,
ana the reception room for ambulance
cases.
On all the other floors the finish is
the same, the walls being done in white

In the latter part of June. 1875. the
late Drs. Walsh and Stone secured for
the late Bishop Gross the Hartridge
property on the corner of East Broad
and Davis streets, for the purpose of
using it for a hospital The building
was in dilapidated condition, but, as
1t was the only site that could be Sc
cured at that time, and it was neces-
sary that some hospital or place of
refuge for the sick should be had, the
Sisters concluded to make it, as far
as possible, answer the purpose. On
June so, 1875, four Sisters took charge
of the place and opened it as a hospi-
tai
In 1876 the Sisters removed to the

WILL FOLLOW THE YACHTS.
Plant Steamship Grand Duchess VIII
BE in the Fleet.

Plant Steamship Grand Duchess Will
BE in the Fleet.
A ship we'll known to Savannahians,
as she formerly made regular trips to
this port, will follow the Americas cup
races. Arrangements have been made
with M. F. Plant, vice president of the
Plant Investment Company, owners of
the Grand Duchess, to run the steam
ship as an excursion boat to the inter-
national yacht races, beginning Sept. p
and each alternate week day until one
of the contestants has won three races.
The Duchess was under the same
management two years ago, and there
was no excursion ship that gave bet
ter satisfaction to her patrons. She is
only six years old and was built ex-
pressly to carry passengers on an ocean
route. She is 5000 tons, and is con-
structed entirely of steel, including
houses and decks; has a double bot
tom, is water ballasted, has twin
screws. and a speed of twenty miles
Der hour. Her accommodations are
snacious and elegant, two entire decks
being fitted up for passengers. She has
two large saloons. three social halls,
ladies' observation parlor on the upper
deck and 152 spacious staterooms. A
first-class caterer will be provided ana
everything possible done for the COM
fort of guests. Tickets and staterooms
will be reserved upon application TO j..

ThunderboIt Casino.

The attention of the public is called
to the descriptive concert this after
noon and evening given by the Ca

is something novel as well as enter
tanning there will no doubt be a large
crowd present. The afternoon concert
concludes at 1880, the night starts at
$40 and continues during the entire
evening. Those attending the concert
will no doubt enjoy a great treat. The
work of the Casino orchestra has been
eminently satisfactory and this devia-
ton from the usual concert will no
doubt prove a strong attraction.

were An the Bunch Sent Up by Mayor
Myers From Police Court.
No less than three regulars appeared
before Mayor Myers in Police Court
yesterday and each received the same
sentence for the same offense. All of
them are white, and one is a woman
who has been putting in most of her
time for the county for several years.
George Talbot, Willie Cotter and EN-
ma DeLoach are the unfortunates, and
each of them must put in thirty days
of labor because of an Unsuitable de-
sire, at all times, for strong drink.
Isaac Jones, a negro boy whom Pa
trolman Stafford caught using a sling
shot on the East Side, was ordered
whipped by his mother. The woman
wept in court and declared that the
prisoner is her only support. Isaac re-
ceived his thrashing in the police sta
bles.
Charles Henry, colored, was fined 81
or fifteen days for tossing watermelon
rinds in the street.
Tom Johnson, colored, was given
| thirty days at labor for being drunk

something like Chris Skeeter.
Gus Cole, colored, was remanded for

LUDDEM MADE AFFIDAVIT.
Legal Battle, In which So, 900 Is In
voIved, Begun.

The trial of the injunction suit of
William Ludden against the Ludden
& Bates Southern Music House. and
the Mathushek Piano Manufacturing
Company was begun in the Superior
Court before Judge Falligant yester-
day. The hearing promises to be an
interesting one as it progresses. Be
cause of a slight indisposition of Judge
Falligant very little of the case was
heard and it win be taken up again to-
morrow.
The lengthy petition of the plaintiff,
by his agent and attorney in fact,
Jaspersen Smith, was printed in the
Morning News when the paper was
filed on July 6. Mr.. Ludden AYERS that
the defendants are indebted to him in
the sum of about $4,000 and that he
believed himself secured by certain
contracts made by the purchasers of
organs and pianos from the defend
ants. 1t is charged that the defend
ants were interfering with Mr.. Lud-
den In the regular collection of the
amounts due by purchasers, when he
obtained relief in the shape of a tenn
porary restraining order. The petition
also charged that the defendant COM
pany was permitting It's stock to run
lower than was agreed in contract
when Mr.. Ludden sold out his shares
in the company.
Adams, Freeman. Denmark &
Adams appeared for the plaintiff, and
Wilson & Rogers for the defendants
An affidavit signed by Mr.. Ludden and
making charges already men,
toned in the petition. was read An
other affidavit from Mr.. Temple Taylor
was produced. In this paper Mr.. Tay-
Tor related how he had been forcibly
elected from the store of the music
house after having been placed in
charge by Mr.. Smith. He declared
that he was held by the arm and pre-
vented from closing the safe by At
torney Rogers. A man purporting to
be an officer stood at hand with pa
per, but later Mr.. Taylor was unable
to discover any officer who had been
intrusted with a paper in connection
with the case. This incident had al
ready been related in the original petit
ton of the plaintiff and caused no
comment or surprise.
Mr.. Smith was placed on the stand,
but had said little when the case went
over until Monday. He is the chief
witness in the proceeding, and the
cross-examination, which will be con-
Quoted by Mr.. Wilson for the defense,
promises to be interesting.

Club by Peters Cartridge Co.
The Savannah Revolver Club has
been presented by the Peters Cartridge
Company with handsome solid silver
cup, eighteen inches high and hand
somely embossed, and which is to be
awarded to the member of the club
making the best average score from
Sept. 80 to Sept. 80, 1902. The cup will
be placed on exhibition in the window
of Messrs. Theus Bros, tomorrow.
In order to give each member of the
club an equal chance for the trophy IL
has been decided that the best shots
shall allow a handicap to those less
skilled in the use of the revolver. This
matter will be arranged this weeh
when the committee meets to adopt thu
constitution and bylaws for the club.
AT the same meeting it is probable
that the club will decide to have some
trophy of its own to shoot for, a prize
that will become the property of the
winner of three contests.

Will Be Finished in Is Months. =.
1--WE will be running trains between
Brunswick and Birmingham within
eighteen months. We have several
construction gangs at work now, but
it is not proposed to build all the line.
We have our eyes upon roads that we
will acquire to fill up the links. This
will mean that we can finish up the
connection between Birmingham and
Brunswick much more quickly than II
we had to build the entire distance.
No, may not tell you just what roads
we expect to get. l could tell you, II
it were a matter in which the Bruns-
wick and Birmingham alone were in
terested. The other roads, however,
are parties to the arrangements we
have made, and we cannot give out
news to which they might object. They
may not be ready for the announce
ment. SO we must hold it up.
1--WE are going to have a wiregrass
road, though, and it will be one In
which there will be no heavy grades.
What we are looking for is route that
will admit of the handling of the heav-
lest classes of freight by
quick schedules. We will have
the easiest grades imaginable
and there will be great quantities

our line to Brunswick. We are build
ing the road primarily for grain ship
ments, and we will establish traffic re-
lations with connections at Birming-
ham that will move grain from the
West through Birmingham to Bruins
wick, where it will be exported to the
markets of the world.
South Georgia is to be greatly bene-
fitted by the construction of our line.
Savannah will profit, because we will
go through territory that will be reach
ed by our line in much shorter mileage
and quicker time than can now be
reached by any road leading out of Sa-
vannah. New points for the establish
ment of trade by Savannah and Bruins
wick will be opened by the construction
of the Brunswick and Birmingham. We
will get business, but it will not mean
that anybody will be hurt.
