NEW ENGLANOERS
TO HELP HARBOR.
Say They viii Do what They Can
for Savannah.

Say They Will Do What They Can
for Savannah.
Secretary Thomas Gamble, Jr., of the
Savannah Harbor Improvement Com
mittee, has received assurances al
ready from two of the New England
congressman that they favor the
project of deepening the harbor here.
The aid of these two congressman
was gained through one of the only
three firms that have so far aided
Secretary Gamble in the work. Mr.
Gamble has also been notified that a
number of business organizations in
various parts of the country have in
dorsed the plan of deepening the Sa-
Vannah harbor.
If the business men of the city will
only aid in the work, Mr.. Gamble says
he is confident there will be no trouble
in getting the entire country interest
ed. There is every reason why the
Savannah harbor should be improved
and only the concerted action of the
business interests of the city is nee
essary to get the matter through Con-
gress, Mr.. Gamble thinks.

WANTED MONEY
TO MAKE CHANGE.
But swindIer Disappeared With Coin
as Quickly as Possible.


rs Quickly rs Possible.
The police are looking for a man
who yesterday relieved an unsuspicious
negro of SIS at the Southern Bank
building. The stranger whom the po-
lice are anxious to meet worked his
game in regulation fashion.
He wanted to make some change up
stairs, he stated TO the negro, and
took the money only for a minute or
two. Up one flight of stairs and down
another the man with the money
went. The negro, after waiting for him
half an hour or more, began an in
vestigation, and finally appealed to the
police.
The negro had intended to go up the
river and had carried some of his
things down to the wharf. He was
spoken to by a nicely dressed white
man, who told him he was going up
the river also. The white man asked
the negro if he did not want to make
some money by taking his baggage
down to the river. The negro agreed,
and together they went to the South
ern Bank building.
The victim was left outside, while
the white man went upstairs. Within
a few minutes, he returned and told
the darkey the baggage had already
been removed, but that he would pay
him for coming up town, anyway. He
then produced a hundred-dollar bill,
and said he would have to get some
change. The negro said he had fifteen,
and the swindler explained he could
make the change with that, together
with what his friends upstairs" had.
He took the negro's money and went
upstairs, but down again on the other
side.

Was Sold for $500.
The creditors of the Southern Drug
and Chemical Company yesterday aft
ernoon accepted the offer of $500 made
by Mr.. j. Ferris Cam for client.
There was talk during the day that
some of the creditors would insist on
having the company declared bankrupt,
but after considerable discussion at
the meeting it was decided to accept
the amount offered by Mr.. Cam. This
amount will be turned over to the cred
itors and will be distributed according
to the amount of claims held against
the company.
The action of the creditors in ac-
cepting the offer made by Mr.. Cam

WILL SOON SETTLE
CASTOR STREET CASE.
Asphalt viii Be Put Down 1t Is Now
Thought.


Thought.
1t now seems likely that CASTOR
street will be paved with asphalt, and
that the trouble between the property
owners and the city will be over after
the next session of Council.
At the last session of the special
committee. of which Alderman Oliver
is chairman, representatives of the
property owners on the street We're
told exactly what the city would agree
TO. 1t is confidently believed the own
ers viii get togetehr and request that
the case be allowed to take this turn.
In this event the matter will come be-
fore Council at its next session. The
committee will report unanimously in
favor of the compromise that has been
suggested.
The special committee has assured
the property owners that the city will
agree 10 an asphalt pavement provid-
ed the owners will withdraw their
claim against the city for rebate on
the new pavement because of the old
shell pavement that was put down.
The injunction proceedings are of
course also to be withdrawn.
1t is practically certain the property
ONHeiS VIII get Together Oh tnls pan,
and it is almost equally certain that
Council will pass the asphalt pave
ment ordinance. There are a number
of aldermen who prefer the brick pave
ment, but to get the case settled they
are willing to vote for asphalt. The
owners must, however relinquish all
claims on the city for money paid for
the shell pavement.
1t will take nine votes to pass the as
phalt ordinance and it is thought this
number will agree to the compromise.
though-it is not believed the vote will
be unanimous

CITY WILL SELL
STRIPS OF LAND.
Owners of Adjoining Property Will
he Given Preferences.

Owners of Adjoining Property Will
he Given Preferences.
Alderman D. r. Thomas, chairman
of the Committee on City Lots and
Opening Streets, yesterday began a
number of letter to owners of property
that is adjacent to small strips owned
by the city, informing them that the
city would give them the preference
in selling these strips, but that they
would not be held indefinitely
= The strips are of little or no value
to the city, but would seriously in
jure the adjacent property should the
city sell them to other parties. The
owners of the adjacent property have
seemed to think they could delay as
long as they liked, and that the city
would then sell to them. Mr.. Thomas,
in his letters, is correcting this inn
preston. The city will hold the strips
for a reasonable period that adjacent
owners may be given the preference
but the land is to be sold and If the
owners will not purchase it, it will go
to other parties.

been appointed by Bishop Foley to
the chaplaincy of the house of the
Little Sisters of the Poor in Detroit

charge. FIR. Muer will be greatly

bored so long and faithfully and where
he numbers his friends by the score,

by all who knew him. Mr.. Muer's
health for the past few years has not
been good and 1t is hoped the change
will prove beneficial and relieve him

one who will also have charge of the
Bedding parish.
