PUT BACK INTO BAY
TO AVOID HURRICANE.
The Steamship Merrimack Arrived
More Than a Day Late.

The Steamship Merrimack Arrived
More Than a Day Late.
More than a day overdue the steam
ship Merrimack Of the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Line arrived
from Philadelphia yesterday morning.
That the trip was an unusually
pleasant one was due to the fact that
Capt. James McDorman turned the
vessel back Wednesday noon and LAID
in Delaware bay until a hurricane had
spent its fury.
The Merrimack left Philadelphia
Tuesday at p. m, but weighed an
Choir in the bay at 2 a. m. in the face
of a strong northeaster, with the ba-
rometer falling. During the morning
the glass rose slightly, and Capt. Nc
Dorman put out for sea.
When about opposite the Delaware
Breakwater the wind had attained a
velocity Of eighty miles an hour, the
barometer was falling, and the hurri-
cane signals were flying. Realizing that
the vessel could make no Roadway il
such a gale, that there would be dan
ger Of shifting the cargo, and that the
passengers would certainly have a
most unpleasant time, the spray at
that time breaking over the pilot house
of the steamer, Capt. McDorman turn
ed and put back into the bay, where
the vessel remained at anchor until 6
O'Clock Thursday morning. The re-
mainder of the voyage was made in
record time, and the trip was an en-
JOyable one to the passengers.

A Remarkable Achievement.

The Worlds Fair at st. Louis has
brought to notice some very remark
able results of commercial progress
iveness that are almost as astonish-
ing to the native born American as to
the many foreigners who help to make
the Fair a cosmopolitan wonder. One
of these noteworthy successes is the
Peters Shoe Co. of st. Louis, who OPP
crate the shoe factory in the manu-
features building, which shows in
every detail the most modern methods
of shoe making by the Goodyear welt
system. This concern built it's first
factory In 1895 and now owns and OPP
crates four of the largest plants in
the world, selling shoes from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and from Can
ada to Mexico. The shoe factory at
the Worlds Fair is the largest and
only successful shoe factory ever in
stalled at an exposition, and has prov
ed one of the most attractive features
of the Fair. The jury of awards has
given a gold medal to this factory,
and has conferred a grand prize Cthe
highest award made at the Worlds
Fair) on the Peters Shoe Co., for the
best and most complete line of shoes
exhibited.
To the Europeans, who are not ac-
customed to rapid success of this kind,
it is hardly conceivable that in dec
ade a mercantile concern can ad-
vance to the very front rank and cap
ture a grand prize in the face of the
strongest competition the whole world
can offer.

THE BIG TREES.

A WOndrOus and Awe-Insptrtng Pro-
duct of Nature, Found Only I'm
California.
California's attractions are mostly of
it's own kind, peculiar to the state, and
of none is this so emphatically true as
that unique product the Big Trees. The
age of these colossi is from $500 to
1000 years. The Mariposa Grove,
which can be visited while en- route to
the Yosemite. contains some OF the
largest. In the Calaveras Grove are
from ninety to one hundred of huge
size. Near Santa Cruz is a beautiful
grove of redwood Big Trees which will
we'll employ days visit. These can
be best reached by the Union Pacific,
whose fast trains from Missouri river
reach California 16 hours ahead of all
competitors.

wonders of California, and full infor-
nation about the most comfortable and
direct route to the Pacific Coast, can

THE N0RTHAM BROUGHT $500.
Vessel Sold by Marshal White to
Capt. Jacob Paulsen.

The schooner Emily F. Northam
was sold at II o'clock yesterday morn
ing before the postoffice building by
United States Marshal George White.
The boat was bought in by Capt. Jacob
Paulsen for $500. There were between
thirty-five and forty persons in attend
ance at the sale, but only one bid was
made. After vainly trying to induce
some one to raise Capt. Paulsen's bid,
the boat was knocked down to him at
the price given above.
The Northam is twenty-five years
old and little remains of It but the
hulk. This considerably lessened her
value, and the fact that even the hulk
will probably need repairing, made
those interested disinclined to do any
high bidding. The sale will probably
be confirmed by Judge Emory Speer
within a few days, and the vessel turn
ed over to it's new owners.
AS has been heretofore stated in the
Morning News. the Northam was sold
to meet salvage charges claimed by
Capt. Van Avery. who rescued the
boat after it had been set on fire and
abandoned by the crew.

STATE STREET PAVING
TO BEGIN THIS WEEK.
This VIII Finish the BrickInying for
the Year.

This Will Finish the BrtckInying for
the Year.
The paving of State street will be-
gin the latter part of this week. This
is the last of the brick pavements
to be laid this year. all the other work
passed by Council having already
been completed. Farm street is now
being paved with cobble stones, but
the work will be finished in two or
three days. After State street is fin
ished River street will be paved, but
cobble stones are to be used there as
well as on Farm. This will wind up
the paving work for the year.
Much work has been done this year
in the paving line, over $50, 900 having
been spent. Except on Farm and
River streets all the paving was with
vitrified brick. The aldermen are
already beginning to figure on the
streets that are to be paved next year
1t is probable that the work that is
to be done will be definitely decided
upon within the next month.

storm Signals at Tampa Are stin
Flying, Says Telegram.
The storm which has been moving
slowly westward along the Cuban
coast, made little Roadway yesterday,
and last night was practically in the
same position as on the night previ-
Gus. 1t is gradually gaining in
strength, and if once the high pres
sure area that is holding it back moves
off, its course will be accurately deter
mined.
An advisory telegram from the CEN
trail Weather Bureau Office at Wash
ington stated that the northeast storm
signals had been continued from Jupi-
ter to Tampa. This means that there
is still danger of the storm moving up
along the Florida coast, and possibly
going northward along the Atlantic
coast. Caution is still advised for yes

man attempted to take the tramp in
charge and turn him over to the police,

and escaped after a lively tussle.
Immediately after the tramp got
away, Mr.. Dixon called up police
headquarters and an officer was sent
to search for him. He was traced sew

The tramp was a white man and Mr..
Dixon was able to furnish the police

BUILDING RECORD
BROKEN THIS YEAR
THE AGGREGATE VALUE
OF BUILDINGS ERECTED EXPECTED
TO EXCEED ALL RECORDS.

The New National Bank Building
Comes as "A Climax for Very Active
Year in BuiIding-Besides the Inn
pOrtant Structures That Are Being
Put Up, There Are Numerous
Smaller Ones, Apartment Houses,
Flats and Residences Being Built.
The beginning of work on the new
Savannah National Bank building will
come as climax to the best building
year Savannah has ever known. In
every section of the city almost houses
are being built. The building is not
confined to any particular class. Bust
ness places, large and small, and resi-
dences of every kind are going up.
Carpenters, brick masons and labor
ers have all the work that they can do,
and a number of the contractors say
they would employ more men If they
could get them. Almost every contrac-
tor in the city is busy and some of the
work is being done by men from other
cities. 1t is almost impossible to go
any distance in any section of the
city without coming upon new houses
that are being built.
Important improvements.
Just at this time there are a num-
Der of important buildings in course
of erection. The new City Hall, the
Marine Hospital, the Sacred Heart
Church and many less important
buildings are going up. The work on
the National Bank building will be
started just as soon as possible, prob
ably by the first of next month. The
work Of tearing away the old build
ings on the site will be finished short
ly. All the tenants who have not al
ready moved will get out tomorrow.
The new buildings going up repre-
sent an expenditure of nearly $1,000
900 and these are only a portion of the
work that is being done. They are
the more conspicuous examples of the
city's progress and improvement, but
on every hand minor evidences are
also to be found. On West Broad
street there have been a number of
new stores built, and in every section
apartment houses and residences have
been erected.
Fort Scrcven Work.
Extensive improvements are also be-
ing made at Fort Screven. Numer-
Gus houses are being built and the
reservation is being leveled and i'm
proved in many ways. All this work
involves a large expenditure by the
government and Savannah laborers
and business men are getting the
benefit of it.
Though no more building permits
have been issued by the city this year
than last year, it is thought that the
value of the buildings being erected
will greatly exceed the value of those
built in 1903. The aggregate value of
the buildings now in process of con-
struction in the city is Immense and it
is believed the value of all of them
erected this year will be much greater
than in any year in the city's history.
