tial building at the corner of Indian and
West Boundary streets opposite his pres

VIEWS WE'RE DIFFERENT.
That Is Believed to Be the ExpIana-
ton of MIR. McAIpin's Action.

ton or hF. McAlpin's Action.
The Savannah friends of Mr.. George S.
McA.pin, whose name is appearing in the
New York papers in connection with his
resignation from the Carteret Gun Club,
do not believe that the slightest blame
attaches to him. The resignation doubt
less grew out of the encounter some weeks
ago, between Mr.. McAlpin and Mr.. Money.
president Of the e. c. Powder Company.
but Mr.. McAlpins friends in Savannah
10 not consider that Mr.. NcAlpin was
forced to resign. They think that he did
o rather than submit to an Investigation
under the view that some of the mem
bers Of the club are inclined to take.
DR.. F. G. Wilson was a witness of the
encounter. He says that Mr.. McAlpin
slapped Mr.. Moneys face with his open
hand, both gentlemen sitting down at
the time. This was followed by a sensa-
uonal story the next day, which was
said to have emauated from Mr. Money
Mr.. Money had questioned the veracity Of
Mr.. McAlpin, which, to the Southern
view, made the former the aggressor
Some of the members of the club how
ever, evidently considered Mr.. McAlpin
the aggressor for the reason that he had
struck the blow. Mr. McAlpin has not
resigned from the Westminster Club
which is regarded as even more exclusive
than the Carteret Club.

ALPHA STILL QUARANTTNED.
Fumigation Not Completed and YES
sci Did Not Return.

II
sci Did Not Return.
The steamer Alpha is still at duaran-
tine, where she was sent by the Marine
Hospital surgeons Wednesday night when
it was discovered she had on board lit
tie negro girl suffering from smallpox.
The fumigation of the vessel and its
contents and the clothing and other per-
sonal belongings of the passengers and
crew was begun yesterday. IL
is probable that oil of this
work will be done to-day. and
that the Alpha, with those OF her passen-
gers who have had smallpox or have re-
Gently been vaccinated, will be permitted
to return to the city.
Those of the passengers who have not
been vaccinated or had smallpox will be
detained at quarantine for the full period
of possible development of the disease
germs fourteen days. How many of the
twenty-nine passengers will be compelled
to undergo this detention could not be
learned yesterday.
Blankets and other comforts for those
detained aboard the Alpha and a guam
tity of provisions for their use were sent
down from the city, on the government
tug Hutton, on yesterday. The officials at
quarantine are endeavoring to make their
prisoners as comfortable as possible and
10 tighten their somewhat dreary con-
finement in every way.

RUN FOR BUILDING PERMITS.
Purchasers of RObertsviIIe Houses
Are Keen After Them.

Purchasers of the Robertsvnle houses
disposed of at auction by the Savannah
Union Station Company, lost no time in
appearing at the Office of the Board of
Tax Assessors to get permits after the
appearance in the Morning News of yes
terday of the information that this for
mality would be demanded before they
would be allowed to remove the buildings
from their old locations.
The assessors had quite a run made
upon them for permits. Applications have
been received from nearly all the pur,
chasers, and it win be a matter of but
day or two before there is a scene of
great activity in the neighbor mood in
which the houses were sold. Some of
the purchasers, in fact, have already be-
gun work
A record is kept by the assessors of just
what disposition the purchasers intend
to make of the houses 1t is found that
the majority intend removing the houses
bodily to nearby lots that at present
have no improvements. Some ten or
twelve expect to tear down the houses
they bought, transport them to distant
lots and rebuild them. II is the intention
of the rest to tear down the houses and
use the material as they may eventually
decide.
Some of the houses will be carried off
by thieves if the owners do not remove
them soon, or keep a close watch on them.
Watchmen have been employed by most
Of the purchasers to look after the houses
but even that does not keep the thieves
off. One small shanty disappeared alto
gether, the night after the sale and yes
terday another house disappeared almost
under the eyes of the Waterman. He had
gone to saloon nearby for a drink and
staid "a little longer than usual" he said
When he went to see if the house he was
watching was all right, there was moth

Many will be interested to learn the re
suit of the hearings. The residents of the
southeastern section have been complain

TO ARRIVE THIS AFTERNOON.
Vanderbilt Party VIII Leave To-
morrow for the Mediterranean.

The Vanderbilt party Is expected in Sa-
vannah this afternoon from Palm Beach,
Fla, where Mr.. Vanderbilt and his friends
have been spending some days. They will
arrive over the Plant System. 1t is by
no means an uncommon occurrence for
millionaires to pass through or stop over
here, but ID is not often that any OF the
as the favored of fortune are seen in this
city, and many necks will doubtless be
craned for a view of the possessors of
millions.
From the station, the party viii be driv-
en- to the De Soto, where suite of rooms
has been reserved. Just what the pro-
gramme for the evening. If one has been
made, may be, is not known. Nor has 1t
been announced what Mr.. Vanderbilt and
his friends will do tomorrow morning,
though it seems improbable that they will
remain cooped up in the hotel. If the
weather is fair, they viii probably be out
for a drive.
The departure for the Mediterranean will
be made tomorrow afternoon about 4:3O
O'Clock aboard the Valiant. Everything
is in readiness for her departure the
time the yacht has been in port having
been utilized for her thorough prepara-
ton for her voyage.
Mr. Vanderbilt and his friends Will not,
after all, make the trip across the Savan-
nah river to the Valiant, lying at the
Seaboard Air Line wherves, aboard a
tug. The order for the tug was counter
manded yesterday, and the Valiant's
launches will serve for the ferriage of
her passengers. The embarkation is ex-
pected to take place during the afternoon,
and there will then be another chance af-
forded for a spectacle. No doubt many
will be at hand to take advantage of it,
as 1t will lbe interesting to note the boats
crews of milionaire's yacht at work. 1t
is expected, too, that the arrival of Mr..
Vanderbilt aboard the Valiant will be at
tended with some eclat.

An apprentice boy on the Italian bark
Francis Goetta, lying at the Seaboard Air
Line wharves, opposite the city, fell from
the royal yard to the wharf yesterday af-
ternoon, and it is feared was fatally in
jured. AS far as could be learned the
young sailors name is B. Drumming, or
something that sounds like that combina-
ton of letters. He was working in the
rigging, ana lost his balance, falling
distance of thiity-five feet. He struck on
his head and it is believed sustained in
ternal injuries in addition to a fracture
of the skull DR.. j. G. Keller made
hasty examination of the injured sailor
and had him taken to the st. Joseph's In
Urinary, in the police ambulance.
