being pushed rapidly and the house
will, within a very short while, be
ready for occupancy.
Three apartment houses on the south
east corner of Abercorn and Anderson
streets are in the course of completion
and add much to the appearance of
that section of the city. They are elab-
oratelv fitted within and have all the
modern conveniences. The houses were
built by Youmans & Demmond, and are
different from other apartment houses,
for the reason that they are not tene-
ments. Most of the work was done by
Contractor Artley, and the houses pre-
sent an attractive appearance.
On the northwest corner of East
Broad street and Park avenue. four
two-story houses are being built by
Brockett & Campbell for Mrs. Johanna
Hayes. They will probably be COM
pleted about April 1, and are to cost
about $500 each.
On Hall and Lincoln streets three
two-story apartments houses are near
ing completion. They are handsomely
fitted out and make quite an addition
to that section of the city.
The work on st. Johns Baptist
Church, colored, on Hartridge street is
still going on, and when completed, the
church will have cost about 5000. The
first story of the church is of brick.
On Bolton street. near Atlantic, four
two-storY frame houses at an average
cost of about $780, are nearing compile
ton. Two are owned by the estate of
J. f. Cam, and two by Mrs. Julia T.
Gibbes. They are being built by
Crockett & Campbell. At about the
same place four one-story houses have
just been finished by the same con-
tractors at a cost of about $500 each.
On Gwinnett street, east of the Plant
System tracks, d. Grimm is having
completed two-story frame house at
a cost of about $1,000.
On Gwinnett street lane, east of East
Broad, a tenement house has just been
finished for Mrs. Jennie p. Archer at
a cost of about $1,000.
Several one-story houses have been
completed in the southeastern section
of the city during the past few weeks
and repairs have been made to other
frame structures that had been dam
aged by fire. These improvements,
however, are of a minor nature and
count for but little. Nevertheless the
East Side promises to be active in the
real estate line during the summer,
and carpenters viii be busy getting
houses in shape for the fall.

NO NEW TRIAL FOR BROWN.
Burglar Who Entered Preachers
Residence Must Serve His Term.

Burglar Who Entered Preachers
Residence Must Serve His Term.
Seymour Brown, negro convicted
at the present term of the Superior
Court of burglary and sentenced by
Judge Barrow to spend the next seven
years of his life in the penitentiary,
was refused a new trial yesterday.
Brown was discovered by Rev. j A.
Smith, pastor of Epworth Methodist
Church, snugly ensconced under the
stairs in the parsonage. The negro
succeeded in making his escape from
the house. but was followed by the
minister on a bicycle, run down and
captured after a long and exciting
chase.
At the trial Brown claimed it was
case of mistaken identity, and that he
was not the man Mr.. Smith had seen
in the parsonage. His identification,
however, was complete and the jury
lost no time in finding him guilty.
The motion for a new trial was based
on alleged errors in the charge of
Judge Barrow to the jury. 1t was ar
gued yesterday by r. j. Travis for
the defendant and by r. l.. Colding,
solicitor general pro. tenn, for the
state. At the conclusion of the argu-
ment Judge Barrow rendered his de-
cision, overruling the motion and re-
fusing the new trial. The case will
be carried to the Supreme Court of the

to the beauty of that section OF the
civ. The southern section of the East
Side is the part being benefited, for
there is scarcely anything in the line
of improvements north of Han street.
This is because that section of the city
is already built up and the expansion
is naturally in a Southernly direction
While there are few more than score
of houses now going up east of Aber-
corn street, during April, May and
June quite number of residences will
be commenced.
One of the proposed improvements
east of Abercorn street is the row of
apartment houses to be erected by
Capt. j. C. Postell at Charlton and
Lincoln streets.
The Realty Improvement and Trust
Company, recently capitalized with
$40, 000 has planned for the improving
of what is known as the Gammell
tract south of Bolton, and west of
East Broad streets, and this work will
be the most pretentious on the East
Side within the near future. The COM
pany owns 50 lots of the tract which
it intends to improve by building
handsome residences for home seekers.
The houses are to be modern in every
respect Work on the first of them will
probably be started next month. The
company does not intend to .confine its
operations, however, to the Gammell
tract and will build in other parts of
the city.
Two handsome dwellings have been
started on Thirty-first street, near
Lincoln, and the erection of two others
are to follow in rapid succession. Mrs.
w. G. Thompson's new home just west
of Lincoln has just been started by
Contractor Peter Rabey. The dwell
ing will cost somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, and will be COM
pleted about Sept. l.
The residence of Mr.. John A. Calhoun
will, when completed, cost about $4,000
and will be a particularly attractive
one. The work of building is now go
ing on.
Messrs. George w. Dwelle and James
Earle, Jr., are to begin the construc-
ton of two handsome houses on the
same street, west of Lincoln, within a
very short while. Work on Mr..
Dwelle's home, the cost of which is
Appropriated at $4,000, will be begun
by Contractor A. A. Artley probably
next week.
Two attractive homes are now going
up on Thirty ninth and Thirty seventh
streets, near Abercorn. The one on
Thirty-ninth street is east of Abercorn,
ana Will De oCcupleu ny vi n ..
Haupt, who is building it. The house
is being finished off now, and will cost
in the neighborhood of $1,000.
Work on the residence to be built
on the southeast corner of Abercorn
and Thirty-seventh streets has been
begun by Contractor Rabey and the
dwelling will probably be completed by
Aug. 1. It4s owned and will be occu-
pied by Mr.. H. o. Aver, and viii be
one of the prettiest homes in the south
ern section of the city.
Near the corner of Thirty-sixth street
and Plant avenue, Contractor Q. W.
schultz is building a pretty two-story
frame home for himself. The work is

THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.
CoIOred People Want Admittance
to IL.


Savannah, Ga, March 22-To the
Editor of the Morning News: Permit
me few words in regard to the much
talked of Free Library" The talk
seems to be narrowed down from
financial appropriations to racial OBJ
jections. Very recently through the
columns of one of our newspapers
there appeared an interview with one
of the members of the local Board of
Education in which he is quoted as
saying: "If the negroes are admitted
irto the library pretty soon the books
will be found upon the shelves of the
various pawnshops of the city" Now
this is not a fact. The masses of the
people would not be allowed to take
away books or even enter the very
portals of the library. OF course, we
will admit that there are some among
both races who if allowed would take
away the books, but this class would
not be allowed in the library. Very re-
Gently the colored citizens of Atlanta
petitioned the City Council of that city
for admittance to their Carnegie libra

lege for colored youths, and these, to-.

liens, are the class that would desire
the privileges Of the library. The class

steps will be taken at once to carry
out the provisions of the act.
One hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars has been appropriated for
the building. This will be erected upon
some convenient lot, which will prob
ably be of sufficient size to permit of
grounds being maintained in connec-
ton with the institution. Should one
available lot not be of dimensions to
permit this, it is not unlikely that adj
joining property will be bought.
The question now is as to the site
that will be selected. The popular idea
is that the lot, already owned by the
government, at the southeast corner of
York and Abercorn streets, will be
chosen. Others have been suggested,
however, and it is probable that the
representatives of the Treasury De-
partment that decide upon the location
will be given opportunity to exercise
a choice that will not be hampered by
a scarcity of offers

The officers Of the institution for
colored orphans and old people, which
is situated in East Savannah, are
making an appeal to both colored and
white people for assistance in raising
$1OO, which is still owed on the prop

the next sixty days, or the property
will have to be surrendered.
1t has been decided by the trustees

it is hoped by this means to secure
the remainder of the purchase money.
Persons who wish to give to the fund
