Labor Day, recognized as a holiday
by both state and city, will be gem
orally celebrated in Savannah to-day
by the closing of all city offices, and
many business houses. SO that the en-
ployes may join in the celebrah ton of
the occasion.
The chief observance of the day will
be the big parade in which all the la
bor unions of the city. white and col
ored, will take part. This parade will
be formed at Oglethorpe avenue and
Bull street, at o'clock. and after
passing along the principal streets,
will return to it's starting place,
where 1t will be dismissed. At one
point of the line of march. the City Ex
change, the parade will be reviewed
by the members of City Council.
The Day mt Tybee.
The men in the march, as well as
many hundreds of their friends, pos
sibly thousands of them, will spend
the afternoon at Tybee, where, in hon
or of the day, a most interesting pro-
gramme of sports has been arranged
and where, in addition, there will be
general dancing all the afternoon and
evening. So great is the crowd ex-
pected that both of the hotels on the
island have remained open a day long
er than usual in order to accommo-
date the expected patronage.
Those who do not care to visit Ty-
bee will have abundant opportunity
to be entertained at other places and
in other ways. The Casino has ar
ranged for a special matinee, and as
the present show is a clever one,
doubtless this will be we'll attended
Also there will be the polyscope pic
lures at night, as well as a concert.
Races at the Track.
One of the drawing cards of the day
will undoubtedly be the horse races to
card contains three events each of
which ought to be exceptionally good.
The first of these is a mile dash, in
which such horses as Kingfull, Thicket,
and Ben Roy are entered. Then there is
a harness race with many good entries,
and finally another run3irg race of
ee-eighth of mile. best two out of
three heats. In this, too, the entries
are away above the average.
The colored people will be given a
gala day at Lincoln Park where the
chief attraction will be a balloon as
cension to be made by Il. M. Phillips,
whose excellent work at the Casino has
attracted so many to that place each
Sunday. Special car schedules have
been arranged on the lines running TO
the resorts and also on such of The
streets as extra large travel is ex-
pected.

PLANS FOR HARBOR WORK.
Dredging and other Contracts to De
Awarded Soon.


| Capt. C. E. Gillette returned to Sa-
vannah from New York yesterday
| Relative to the bids for mooring dol
| phins on the Savannah river. Capt.
Gillette said that they will be sent to
the department to-day. and does not
think it will be long before an accept
ance viii be received. The lowest bid
for the work of constructing the two
dolphins was $4,000. This bid was
made by Egan, Smith & Co. of Jack
sonville, Fla, and it is probable that
it will be accepted. The specifica lions
are made by the government, and, ac-
cordingly, the lowest bid is generally
the one accepted. David Powers and
L. Sanford Ross were among the Sa-
Yannah bidders. Mr.. Powers bid was
next to the lowest. Mr.. Ross bid was
$57. 00O
The dolphins will be at the Blight and
Venus Point, the former being 1900
feet in length, and the latter zoos feet.
Capt. Gillette saY that he thought the
work on the two dolpkins would not,
at the most. occupy more than two
months.
There are no dolphins in the river
now. though the city made an effort,
some time ago, to build something that
would take the place of the much
needed improvements. These were pill
ing connected with wire rope. They
We're not, however, used very much,
as it was found that they would not
serve the purpose for which they were
intended.
The bids for the big work-the har-
Dor improvement and the dredging
have not get been opened, but as soon
as the specifications are returned from
Washington where they were sent a
short while ago, the bids will be open
ed. This work will be an enormous
undertaking, contemplating more
than a million dollars of improvement.
The work will consist, in the main,
of dredging
A third contract for the partial clos
ing of the entrance to the south chan
mel and the opening of the north chan
mel, so as to admit of the passage of
a stronger tide, will be awarded Sept.
q. This work is now being adver-
tised. 1t will not occupy more than
a month or two, and the total cost
will hardly be more than $4,000 or $5,-
900. 1t will mean a better entrance to
the harbor so that ships will not have
to wait on the tide in making their
passage up and down the river.
The specifications for the dredging
work are expected from Washington,
and as soon as they are returned, the
application for bids will be published,
and after thirty days, the bids will
be opened.
Capt. Gillette was asked if he had
heard anything of Greene and Gay
nor while in New York
NO" he said, sit is probably too
hot for them up there. They prefer a
more northern cline" Capt Gillette
added that as yet no bids had been
received from the two recalcitrant
contractors for work in Savannah har-
Dor.

SUNDAY EXCURSIONISTS.
Tybee Season Over and Schedule of
Trains Cut Down.

The excursion trains operated by the
various roads in and out of Savannah
continue to be well patronized, though
many more people are brought to Sa-
vannah than are taken out of it. The
Seaboard Air Line yesterday brought
In on excursions from Helena, Bruins
wick and Columbia, between 800 and
900 passengers, and on trains operated
to Pablo Beach, Brunswick and Fer
nandina carried some 400.
The Central of Georgia also brought
IN large crowd from Augusta and
intermediate points. Most of these as
we'll as a large number of people from
other places visited Tybee making the
last day but one at that resort a very
good one indeed. The attendance up
to S o'clock amounted to 1.460. In
fact the attendance at the island this
summer has been exceptionally good,
so good that officials of the road are
satisfied it would have broken the rec
ord of last season but for the number
of rainy days that obtained in June
and July.
They caused a little falling off in
the patronage for those months, but
August is away ahead of August of
last year, and that. despite the fact
tnat last August the road carried over
$500 passengers one day, to the butch
ers' barbecue, and that function was
not held this year.
The Tybee season practically closed
yesterday, though both hotels will re-
main open to-day on account of Labor
Day, and the number of trains oper-
ated between the city and the island
will, for the same reason, be contin-
ued as before. Tomorrow, however,
between Tybee and Savannah. These
will be as follows: Leave Savannah
a. m, 2:30 p. m. and 5:45 p. m
Leave Tybee $50 and $50 a. m and
4:30 p. m: These gre to run in the
interest of persons who expect to re-
main at the island during the pres
ent month. So soon as the sursasner
colony has all returned to the city it
is probable that the schedule will
again be cut down

MADE FINE ASCENSION.
Balloon Performance Drew Crowd
to Casino.

balloon Performance Drew Crowd
to Casino.
3efcre more than a thousand specta-
tors H. M. Phillips yesterday after
noon made another most successful
balloon ascension from the Casino
grounds. For a wonder there was not
even a minor accident to mar the
event Because of the number of these
that have occurred at former ascen-
sions that have been made the people
who attend the performance have be-
gun to think it's all part of the show,
and some of them think they are hard
~ getting their moneys worth uni ass
the bag catches fire or something of
the sort happens.
Those who went merely to see a fine
and daring ascent, however, were
pleased with that of yesterday There
was hardly any wind and the big bag
rose almost perpendicularly to a hight
that made Phillips look almost like a
doll. Then it sailed cityward while
Phillips varied his gymnastic stunts on
the bar by looking out for a clear place
tc alight He picked his spot, cut loose
the parachute and made a good land
ing
The crowd gazed at the balloon and
men Until the parachute was released,
then there was a chorus of "Ah-h-h-s,' -
and rush for the street cars was
made. Phillips will make another as
cent to-day, this time at Lincoln Park.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-09-01

The Citizens Bank, which has pur-
chased the lot on the northwest corner
of Liberty and Montgomery streets
will erect there in a short time build
ing as a branch of the bank. The
building is to be six stories high and OF
the same style of architecture as their
other building down town. Estimates
have been called for and it is expected
that the building will be ready for &C.
cupation by the first of January.
This is a new departure in banking
institutions in Savannah and is intend
ed for the accommoda ton of the large
business interests that have recently
been domiciled on West Broad and
adjacent streets.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-09-01

Within the next few weeks the Ger
mania Bank will begin tearing down

er the modern office buildings of the
country. 1t will have two elevators.
The first floor will be used by the bank
and the other seven will be devoted to

FATHER HALPlN'S PLANS.
He VIII Furnish Letters on the PHIL
ippipes to "a Newspaper Syndicate.

Rev. Father Robert F. Kennedy,
pastor of the Cathedral of st. John the
Baptist yesterday received a letter
from Rev. Father p. A. Halpin, and
the information contained in this letter
corroborates the article printed in yes
terday's Morning News. stating that
Father Halpin probably would go to
the Philippines.
Father Halpins plans as at present
understood, are to go to the Philippines,
there both to continue his work for
the Catholic Church, and also to write
a series of letters on the islands and
and the government. These articles
are, it is understood. to be furnished

made Father Halpin very fiattering
offer for the work.
Father Halpin, in his letter, states
that he has had long interview with
Bishop Farley of the Diocese of New
York, and that this prelate has given
the plan his sanction. This does not
mean, however, that Father Halpin
will make the Philippines his perma-
nent home. His plan is to spend
part of six months in the islands and
the other six in New York city.

NO CONCERT AT CASINO.
Manager feIson Had Difficulty With
band Manager.


The First Regiment Band did not
furnish the music at the Casino yes
terday afternoon. because of some
hitch in arrangements between Man
ager L. w. Nelson of the Casino and
Mr.. Z. A. Massart, manager of the
band. Mr.. Nelson stated yesterday
that he and Mr.. Massart having failed
to agree on terms Saturday for the
use of the band Sunday. he had ar
ranged to have his orchestra furnish
the music for the afternoon and even
ing.
Mr.. Massart is credited, however
with having notified the members OF
this orchestra that their services
would not be needed as the band was
to furnish the concerts and this caused
some of the men to remain away from
the Casino. Mr.. Nelson learned how
matters stood, and hustled most of his
men in line for the afternoon. He got
together an orchestra of nine pieces,
which rendered most acceptable pro-
grammes. Mr.. Nelson says he will not
engage the band again.

OIL MAY REPLACE COAL.
Opinion of MFR. II. w. Powers who
May Put Oil Burners in De Soto.

Opinion of MIR. II. w. Powers Who
May Put oil Burners in De Soto.
The soaring price of COAL both hard
and soft, has had at least one good
result, thinks Mr.. r. w. Powers of the
firm OF Watson & Powers. proprietors
of the De Soto. According to the opin-
ion of that gentleman, within the next
six months or so all of the large man
ufacturing plants in the city will be
using oil for fuel.
1t is possible that the first of these
oil furnaces will be in the De Soto
itself. The plant at that place is used
to furnish heat and steam for various
purposes about the hotel. in addition
TO furnishing power to drive the cleo
trio plant. In consequence it is quite
large and the ordinary consumption of
ccal is no small item in the cost of
running the hotel
Even in summer months the con-
sumption of fuel is a heavy expense, so
in July, when Mr.. Powers was called
on to pay an advance of so cents per
ton for soft coal, he began to think of
the cost of keeping the furnaces goin 3
in winter with coal at any such price.
and he Immediately changed from coal
to wood. which he has since been Us
ing.
He is not sure, however, that wood
will serve his purpose in winter, and
so he is now in communication with
a. Mr.. Cornell, the inventor of a patent
oil burner for use in furnaces, and
that gentleman may he given a con-
tract to put his invention in the hotel
plant. Mr.. Cornell will be in Savan-
nah within the next ten days.
Speaking of the matter last night
Mr.. Powers said that he think it's only
a question of short time when the
breweries, the ice plants and the cleo
trio power houses, together with most
of the other concerns needing large
amounts of fuel will be driven to fol-
low the expedient of burning oil
