COTTAGES AT TYBEE.
Inability to Secure storm Insurance
the Reason More Are Not Built.

Inability to Secure Storm Insurance
the Reason More Are Not Built.
The question has recently been asked
by persons who live away from the
coast, but who yet would like to spend
some of the summer months at the
seashore, why there has not been built
at Tybee small cottages that could be
rented at, say $40 a month, and which
could thus be secured for a season by
those whose regular residence away
from the coast would make it inconve-
nient to build a cottage of their own.
The question was asked real estate
men who know the condition at Tybee.
Cottages such as are described are
not built" said one, because they
ment. Then" he continued, Ito build
any sort of a cottage on Tybee costs
at the minimum $500 while some, and
not pretentious ones either, cost as
much as twice that amount. These rent
for a season, May 1 to Aug. 81, for
anywhere from 500 to $3.50, which ord
inarily might be considered a very fair
return on the money invested were it
not for the fact that 1t is impossible to
secure storm insurance on Tybee prop
erty and even a moderate storm, ac-
cording to it's direction, may wipe out
your cottage so promptly that hardly
a vestigle of it would remain. This,
it is probable, is the reason that no
Gotta ger for rental have been built"

hearts content this afternoon at the

alton. The game is likely to be the
real thing, for both clubs expect to

The Oglethorpes will have some old
ball players in the game; the names of
Schreck and Cummings are familiar to
all lovers of the sport. Sullivan, who
covers centerfield so we'll, is member
of both organizations, but as he played

game with them this afternoon.

count of whose visit to Savannah TO
inspect the school buildings, was pub
lished in yesterdays Morning News
visited the Thirty-eighth Street School
and the New Chatham Academy yes
terday under the guidance of Mr..
Frank H. Ferguson. They were much
pleased with both, but think the Thir-
ty-eighth street building the better
suited as a model for the one they in
tend to erect.
The proposed building, in Dublin,
will cost about $4,000, and the money
will be raised by an issue of bonds to
that amount. The furnishings and 9TH
err things will cost, it is estimated, $4,000
so that the school house, ready for
use, will have cost $4,000. Work on
the proposed building will not be begun
before the middle of November. The

place of Austin Rice in the bout with
Tommy Feltz of Brooklyn at the thea
ter, Monday night, will leave New

a fast and clever go with the mits;
barring accidents those that see the
bout will get their moneys worth.
A great deal of interest is being
shown IN the coming meeting of Jack
Bennett and JacL Daily, not only in Sa-
vannah, where the sports want to see
the real merits of the men under con-
dit!ons other than obtained at the for
mer bout, but also among the men,

c,ocum made his escape, and the po-
,ioa had not been able to locate him up
% an early hour this morning.
The trouble began on car No. 1o7 of
Aha East and West belt, at Abercorn
ord Bay streets. The men got off the
cor there and had a lively setto, which
.,.s witnessed by several hundred peo-
nile slocum was not on duty at the
+ir,e of the trouble, and the dispute
crosse over the strike and the union. 1t
caanns that Slocum had been a men,
her of the union, but stood by the com
many. 1t was because of this that he
was upbraided by Sapp.
The men fought viciously on the
Ground for a moment or more and then
Soarded the car again. They had gone
onlv a short distance when Sapp was
hurled from the care by Slocum and
sustained other injuries. A patrolman,
whose attention had been attracted by
+be trouble, made an unsuccessful eff

Methushek Piano Manufacturing Com
pany, but there were no developments
was cross examined by Mr.. H. E. Will
son for the defense and held his own
throughout the hearing.
Letters and aff1davits were introduced
to show that Mr.. Smith is acting for
Mr. Ludden in every sense of the word.
and that the action is not a game of
his own. 1t was shown by letters
that Mr.. Ludden had taken an active
part in the matter and had been the
one to advise the seizure of the music
company's stock in this city. Mr..
Smith had not been in favor of this
action. but New York counsel for Mr..
Ludden had advised it.
The witness insisted that Mr.. Lud-
den had tried to arrange matters and
prevent a litigation, but without sue
cess. President Parmlee of the music
company seemed anxious to embarrass
Mr.. Ludden and prevent his going in
TO business. Mr.. Smith declared that
futile attempts had been made to
patch up truce, but that President
Parmlee stubbornly refused to agree
upon a settlement, unless Mr.. Ludden
would agree not to embark in business.
The witness showed by letters that he
list acting for Mr.. Ludden in every
sense of the word. 1t is probable that
the DlAlnfin'G will ha rested at

rushed through the streets barking and
swapping at everything in sight. Pc
destrians stampeded for places of safe

were sent to police headquarters for
an officer. The dog suffering with rab-
bies bit at least one other canine be-
fore he sought refuge under the Fal-
Vey house.

ate fight with the canine and beat him
to the ground. Eivers fought hard and
long before the dog was rendered help.

HIS WORK WITH A GUN.
Astounds Those Who See Young Hol-
IN Thomson Shoot.

Young Holly Thompson, the 14-year-
old son of Capt. w. ]. Thompson of Sa-
vannah, is winning a reputation as an
expert with a shotgun. His ability In
the way of breaking clay pigeons is
something remarkable, when his age Is
considered, and his work compares well
with that of the best amateurs in this
part of the country. The first shoot
ing that Holly did to attract attention
was in the tournament held here some
time ago by the Forest City Gun Club.
He beat some of the old shots on that
occasion, and the success he won has
followed him since. The Atlanta Jour
nal has the following to say of the
young man:
IF little Holly Thompson's feats
with a gun at the Atlanta Gun Club
were a surprise the first part of last
week, his work Saturday must have
opened all eyes to the real possibilities
of target shooting. He killed twenty
five straights several times during the
early part of the week, but Saturday he
made score of forty-eight without
missing.
"Out of the seventy-five tar
gets which he shot he only missed
two, and one of his runs was forty
eight and the other he killed the hrst
twenty-five straight, and in the
second round missed his twenty-fourth
target. He then shot straight until
the twenty second bird in the tnlrd
round, making a second run of twenty
four.
Holly is only IA years old, and he
has been using a gun but one year at
the targets; but he has demonstrated
that he has the ability to make one OF
the best shots in the South. He was
entered in the shoot at Birmingham
last week, and he came out in the same
class with the professionals. His record
in the shoot Saturday was about W,
and showed up we'll in comparison with
that of any of the cracks that nave
been seen here this year.
HE will be entered in the big snoot
which the club is to hold in September,
and it is safe to predict that he Will
win money. -,
1.-THE programme for this shoot VIII
be completed some time this week, and
the invitations will be mailed to the
various crack shots and the gun CLUBS
of the South.
"There will be four days of shooting,
two at targets and two at pigeons. IL
is expected that the shoot Will be one
of the largest held in the South during
the present season, and about 100 en-
tries are expected"
Holly is now in Atlanta with frlenos.
He will give a good account of hlmseit
in other matches he may enter.

FIRE IN COAL CHUTE.
Coal Was Flooded and the Flames
Were Put Out.

A column of smoke was discovered
rising from one of the stories of the
Central Railroads coal chute, about a
mile west of the city yesterday after
noon at about $3.50 o'clock. No flames
could be seen, but proceeding upon
the maxim that there must be fire
where there is smoke, the yardmen
telephoned for aid.
The combination hose wagon from
fire station No. was dispatched to
the scene. Still no flames were to be
seen, but the firemen got to work,
completely flooding the coal. After
some hours work all trace of smoke
disappeared, and the firemen were able
to return to the city. Danger of the
great piles of coal being consumed
seemed to have passed. The extent of
the damage could not be ascertained,
but the railroad men think that there
was but very little of the coal burned.
