MORE DONATIONS FOR
FOR FlREMAN'S WIDOW.

Donations for the widow and chill
dren of Fireman Kahn, who was killed
in the Slater building fire, continue.
The firemen are getting up quite a
sum for the widow of their comrade.
Following are the donations which
were left at the Morning News office
yesterday: c. +. Keilbach, IS: NAL
colin Maclean. 81; cash. so cents; Paul
Conida, 81, and NJ. NJ, 81.
Though the city is now pensioning
two widows, there is no regular PEN
sion system established. A nension
has to be passed by Council each wear
that it is paid. It is thought Mrs.
kain will be given a pension i'm this
way. The present method is not likely
to be changed.

ANOTHER BIG GAIN IN
BANK CLEARINGS.

savannah's bank clearings for the
week ending yesterday again showed
substantial gain over those for the
corresponding week last year. the in
crease amounting TO S406. 1853. 70. The
gain IN these clearings over those Of
the same periods last year has been
almost continuous during the last two
months. The showing for the week

MANY BUILDING PERMITS
ISSUED.
Number This Yenr So Far is Slightly
Behind Last Years Record.

Number This Year So Far is Slightly
Behind Last Years Record.
Building permits for July of this
month of 1903. This decrease is ac-
counted for by the fact that permits
are frequently consolidated now, and
also by the fact that last year was an
exceptionally good year in the build
ing line. The permits for July this
year number forty-six, while those for
July, 1903. numbered fifty-four.
During the first seven months of
this year, 800 building permits have
been issued. For the same period last
year there were 1854 The buildings
which are being erected this year,
however. are of a much more impos-
ing nature than those put up last year.
There are number of important
buildings now being erected, all of
which have been announced in this
paper.
permit was issued in the last few
days to ]. H Hoffman to erect a
three-story brick apartment house at
20S CASTOR street, west. This building
is now almost finished. The permit
was held up because of some encroach-
ments that Mr.. Hoffman wanted to
make on the sidewalk. A permit has
been issued Deputy Marshal wv. T.
Hussey, to build two two-story frame,
metal roof houses at Thirty-frst and
Habersham streets.
l.. Bluestein has been granted a per-
NIT to have the building at 1870 Bryan

ABERC0RN CROSSING
NOT ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS
Says the Mayor, Though He Thinks
All Crossings Are Dangerous.

Says the Mayor. Though He Thinks
All Crossings Are Dangerous.
Mayor Myers has made an exami-
nation of the Abercorn street and
Atlantic Coast Line crossing and he
says he does not consider it an especi-
ally dangerous crossing. 1t might be
made safe. he says, by placing gates
there, hue he does not think there is
any danger of an accident now, If ordi-
nary precaution is used.
The crossing is equipped with an
automatic gong. which sounds at the
approach of train. The gates
would perhaps be safer, the Mayor
says, though they would inconvenience
persons using the crossing.
"Of course all grade crossings are
dangerous" said the Mayor. There is
no getting around that fact. But
see nothing especially dangerous about
this one"
1t is not thought that the city will
take any steps towards having gates
placed at the crossing.

PETER BRANDT
CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Commissioner Hewlett Will Give
Him Preliminary Hearing Monday.

Commissioner Hewlett Will Give
Him Preliminary Hearing Monday.
Peter Brandt, a partner of Kruger,
who doomed a tract of land known as
Santa Katharine" was arrested yes
terday morning by a United States
deputy marshal on warrant charg-
ing him with perjury. He will be given
a hearing before United States Com
missioner w. r. Hewlett Monday aft
ernoOn.
Brandt is not mixed up in the Santa
Katharine" affair. His offense consists
in swearing, when he signed the bond
of Mrs. Kruger at the time she opened
her cigar store, that he owned prop
erty in Bryan county, valued at S., 900
He does hold titles to three lots in
Santa Katharine, but their value is
said to be not nearly the amount he
swore that it was.
Kruger has not yet been located.
Brandt is confident that he can estab-
lish his innocence of the perjury
charge.

LOCAL CONSUMPTION
OF MEAT HAS DECLINED.
supply Fully Equals the Present De-
mand for staple.

SUPPLY tultF Equals the present Dc-
mand for Staple.
There can be no doubt that there is
a considerable falling off in the con-
sumption of meat in Savannah, by rea-
son of the strike in the Chicago plants.
Many people who have thought they
could not get along without meat
have found out otherwise. and where
last summer they were eating meat,
this summer they find other articles OF
food sufficient.
one dealer yesterday was inclined to
censure the newspapers for making so
much of the meat situation, and claim
ed that it had caused a falling off in
the use of the staple.
The representatives of the packing
houses have not noticed any falling off
in their trade, and claim to have calls
for all the meat that is sent here. The
packing houses which have branches
outside of Chicago are drawing on
these other points for supplies.
MIR. NJ. S. Gardner. president of the
local Association of Butchers, said:
THE falling off in the consumption
OF meat Is que 10 several I'd Il II ~
the scarcity caused by the strike, cou-
pied with the suggestions of the news
papers cautioning against the use of
meats, has undoubtedly had its effect
"A second reason is to be found in
the hot weather, and a third in the
fact that no great amount is offered for
sale.
For the present I expect that local
cattle raisers could supply the market
if necessary.
IF the freight handlers go out, as
seems threatened, it will tie up the
meat industry. The packers may have
plenty of cattle and plenty help, but if
they cannot move their goods there
will be a complete tie up.
Unless the packers agree with the
strikers, or the strikers with the pack
ers, the prospect for winter is not
right. In fact if the strike is still on
Nov. 1, there will be a starvation fam
inc in the meat line"

new PLANS
DRAWN FOR BANK
TEN STORY SKY-SCRAPER
MAY YET BE ERECTED BY THE Ma
TIONAL BANK OF SAVANNAH.

Plans for Five story Building
and it Was Thought That Struc-
ture Had Been Definitely Deter
mined Upon-Bids Will BE Invited
Oh Both Sets of Plans and the
Cost VIII Determine which is to
be Erectcd-MayOr Myers, Presi-
viii BE Better Investment Will
BE Built.
The new Savannah National Bank
building, which will be erected at Bull
and Broughton streets, may be ten
stories instead of five, as was thought
had been determined upon positively.
Plans for the ten-story structure are
now complete. and bids are to be ad-
vertised for in a short time on two
sets of plans, one for a ten-story build
ing and one for a five-story.
Il can not say until the bids are re-
ceived," said Mayor Myers, president
of the bank, (which of the plans will
be accepted. 1t will all depend on the
bids. 1t is simply a question of which
will prove the better investment, and
we can not tell that until we find what
each will cost"
II is believed that the ten-story build
ing can be erected for much less than
twice the cost of the five-stOry struc-
ture. If this is true, the higher build
ing will probably be chosen.
Architect H. w. Witcover has drawn
both the five and ten-story plans. The
first plans were drawn for four stories
Then the bank officials decided that
they wanted a five-story building and
a second set of plans was drawn. Now
it is thought the building may be made
ten stories and prove a better invest
ment than if built only five. 1t seems
probable that the higher building will
be erected, though no definite decision
will be reached until after bids for the
construction of the building are
opened.
The plans for the ten-story building
will be forwarded at once by Mr. Wit
cover for the best architects in New
York to look over and approve. AS
soon as they are returned to Savan-
nah the bank will advertise for bids.
Bids will be invited on both sets of
plans.
The Morning News published the
first announcement that the new
building would probably be ten stories.
The story was denied at the time by an
official of the bank.

BUILDING INSPECTOR TO
RIDE IN THE FUTURE.

Building Inspector Bartlett will have
a horse and buggy with which to look
after his city duties within the next
few days. Four months ago Council
passed a resolution granting the build
ing inspector $25 a month for the care
of horse and buggy, to be used for
city business. Mr.. Bartlett did not
want TO buy the horse and buggy
himself, so he has been waiting four
months, until 500 accumulated. With
that amount from the city he will not
have to put up so much for the pur-
chase.

BRYAN AND WATSON.

Some weeks ago the Appeal charg-
the tool of the Republicans in 1896
and a traitor to Bryan, etc.
Mr.. Harry Beck. of Virginia City,
one of the Populist electors in Nevada
writes to the Appeal taking exceptions
to the statement and asking the editor
to ask Bryan if he did not consider
that Watson on the ticket helped in
Nebraska
Mr.. Bryan was asked the question
while in Carson and replied that Wat
son running on the Populist ticket
with the same set of electors in Ne
braska helped the Democratic ticket
but in other states, Texas for instance
where there were two set of electors
it was a detriment to the ticket.
He had no charge of treason to
make regarding him, but believed he
was actuated by sincere motives.
