WILL ESTABLISH
WAREHOUSE HERE
DISTRIBUTING POINT FOR
SHERWIN-wILLIAM COMPANY,
PAINT MANUFACTURERS.

Mr.. w. H. FOrman of baltimore,
Who Is to Open the Warehouse,
Arrived Yesterday Mornins-LOca-
tion Has Already Been Selected
and Warehouse Rented Some
Time VIII BE Required to Get in
the StOck-Means Much to City.
A distributing warehouse for the
entire Southeast is to be established
in Savannah by the Sherwin- Williams
Company, paint and varnish manufac-
turers.
Mr.. w. H. Forman of Baltimore,
who is to have in charge the work of
starting the warehouse, arrived in the
city yesterday morning and is regis
tered at the Pulaski.
The company is probably the largest
paint and varnish manufacturing con-
Germ in the world. 1t has factories in
Cleveland, Chicago. Newark and Mon
treal. Canada, and branches in thir-
teen cities, including the one to be
established in Savannah.
Best Distributing Point.
The selection of Savannah as the
most desirable location in the South
for increasing the facilities of the bus
mess means more than the simple adj
dition of another progressive business
firm.
1t shows that the citys advantages
as a distributing point are fast being
recognized throughout the country. Sa-
vannah was selected only after care
full study of the entire South, and it
was decided upon as the best possible
distributing point for the Southeastern
territory.
The bringing of the warehouse here
will mean a great deal to the city. An
immense amount of freight, which the
city does not get now, will be brought
here for distribution over the adjoin-
ing territory and employment will nee
essarily be given to quite number of
men.
Site Already Selected.
Though it will be some time before
the warehouse is in operation, the site
has already been, selected. The ware
house on the Atlantic Coast Line tracks
at No. 745 Wheaton street has been
rented. 1t will be fitted up at once
and a large stock of goods will be put
in as soon as possible.
Mr. Forman. who will have charge
of fitting out the warehouse and stock
ing it, will be in the city for some
time. He is unable to state now how
long 1t will be before the warehouse
will be ready for. business. but saws
an immense amount of goods will be
distributed from this point once it is
in operation.

COMMITTEE COMPLETES
TESTS OF BRICK.
Award of the Contract Has Not Been
Made, However.

Award of the Contract Has Not Been
Made, However.
The Streets and Lanes Committee
Of Council has completed the brick
tests, which started several days ago,
by soaking the bricks in water.
Though the tests were finished no
award Of the contract was made yes
terday. The award will doubtless be
made to-day or tomorrow and it is
thought the contract will be divided
between two of the four bidders.
The bricks showed up according to
the way the prices range. The highest
price brick stood the tests better than
the others and so on down to the low
est priced brick. The samples submit
ted by the Mack Manufacturing Com
pany of Philadelphia, price $1.37, stood
the tests best; the samples of the
Graves Shale Brick Company of Biz
mingham, price S1.031k, stood next
best; those of the Southern Clay
Manufacturing Company of Robbins,
Tenn, price 94.8 cents, next, and the
Georgia Vitrified Brick and Clay
Company of Augusta, price S915 cents,
next.
The Southern Clay Manufacturing
Company of Tennessee will probably
get most of the order and the Graves
Shale Brick Company of Birmingham
the balance. Fifty thousand square
yards of brick, or about $500, 900
bricks, are to be bought.

COMPANY LIMITATIONS
PLEASING TO OFFICERS.
Some of the Savannah Companies
Have More Than Maximum.

Some of the Savannah Companies
Have More Than Maximum.
The order issued yesterday from the
Office of the Adjutant General of the
state in regard to the maximum and
minimum number of men to each COM
pany is pleasing to most of the officers
in Savannah.
The maximum number of men to the
company is placed at 80. and though
several of the Savannah companies
have more than that number, most OF
the officers agree the order viii beneht
the various commands.
The Emmets, the Irish Jasper Greens
and some of the companies in the
Guards all have more than fifty enlisted
men now. Under the order the men
can serve until their enlistment expires,
but no new members can be taken in
until the number is reduced to less than
fifty.
The officers think the limitation
placed on the number of men will
cause an enlistment to be more highly
valued. When the men know that the
number is limited and that many are
waiting to take their places, their in
terest in the military will probably be
increased. 1t is thought some of the
companies will inaugurate waiting
lists to place the names of applicants
on.

FORT CONTRACTS AWARDED.


The War Department has notified
the constructing quartermaster here,
in charge of the completion of the i'm
provements at Fort Screven, of the
acceptance of the bids for the new
barracks, mess-hall, and kitchen. The
contract goes to the Simons- Mayrant
Company of Charleston. A description
of the buildings to be erected was
published in the Morning News at the
time the specifications were drawn.
The contract for installing the
heating apparatus in the buildings
was awarded to d. A. Tompkins of
Charlotte. The contract for electric
wiring was captured by the Electric
Supply Company of this city. The to-
tai cost of these improvements will be,
in round numbers, $4,000
Yesterday the constructing quarter
master opened the bids for the new
lavaotry to be erected at the fort.
The bids were arranged in the re-
quired way and forwarded to Wash
ington. The contract will be award
ed by the proper officials there and
notification sent to Savannah. 1t is
improbable that the contract will be
awarded in less than ten days or two
weeks.

BELIEVED To BE
LYMAN BURGLAR
TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
DOTH TALLY WITH DESCRIPTION
GIVEN BY MISS LYMAN.

Neither Could BE Identified Yester-
day, as Miss Lyman Has Left the
City TempornriIy-WadIe One OF
the Negroes Arrested, Had n Pts
toll on His PersOn-Detectiye Nose
Davis Made Both of the Arrests.
Two negroes are held at the police
station suspected of being the burglar
who entered the Lyman home on Park
avenue about two weeks age and so
badly frightened Miss Eloise Lyman.
Both arrests were made by Detective
Nose Davis yesterday. one at 1890
O'Clock in the afternoon and the other
at 6 o'clock in the evening. The story,
which was told exclusively in the
Morning News, is still familiar to the
public, and the intense excitement OF
the moment when she faced a revolver
in the hands of the negro has so af-
fected Miss Lyman she was persuaded
to pay a visit to relatives in Charles
ton until she could recover from the
effects of the experience.
The first arrest made by Detective
Davis was that of a negro giving his
name as Will Wadley. The negro
who entered the Lyman home, as de-
scribed by Miss Lyman, had on red
socks, which were noticeable from the
fact he had off his shoes, brown
shirt, and had a slight mustache,
which was barely perceptible. In every
way Wadley's description fits the one
nv Miss LYMAN
Detective Davis says he had been
shadowing this negro for several days
He started to make the arrest at the
CITY market yesterday morning, but
the negro got out of his way, and he
finally got him at the Union Station
When searched the negro had a 30
calibre revolver on his person, which
the police believe Is further evidence
of his identity.
Owing to the absence of Miss Lyman,
the negro could not be identified last
night, but will be held until she re-
turns. If he proves to be the wrong
man, he will be held on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons and will
be turned over to a higher court.
The second negro arrested by Detec-
tive Davis as a suspect was not cloth
ed as was the first, but otherwise his
description as to build and color suited
exactly, and his actions for the last
week have been closely watched by the
plain clothes man, who firmly believes
either he or Wadley is the man who
committed the Lyman robbery and
frightened Miss Lyman.
Patterson is known around Savannah
as Race Horse" He will be held as
a suspect until Miss Lyman returns to
the city.

SAVANNAH'S RETAIL STREET.
Changes Which Are Taking Place
in Its Appearance,

The erection of the eleven-story
building of the National Bank of Sa-
vannah will doubtless make Brough-
ton street a greater retail center than
it is.
The plans call for a number of half
basement stores on Broughton as well
as Bull street, which will add to the
available business places in that To-
cality.
In the last two years there has
been noticeable increase in stores on
Broughton street, east of Bull street.
which is due to the disappearance of
several gambling houses which were
injurious to respectable business, for
the reason that shoppers do not like
to pass such Places" said a real es-
tate man yesterday. There are still
number of places on Broughton
street, east, that are not helpful to
the retail business, but in shopping
hours they present nothing to which
ladies might object"
A powerful and far-reaching effect
on the business future of Broughton
street, east, would be the remodeling
of the old Marshall House into stores.
If the balcony over the sidewalk were
removed a number of desirable stores
could be fitted up on the lower
floor and the upper floors still
utilized as a hotel, which would
doubtless be as good il not better for
that purpose than at present.
There is no reason why, with the
immense growth of the city, extending
to the extreme southern limits of
Abercorn street and also the section
of the city east Of it, that Broughton
street, east, should not be as good
for retail stores as Broughton street,
west. The fitting up of few first
class stores representing the retail
grocery store and dry goods trade,
east of Abercorn on Broughton street
would show that business could be
carried on successfully in that local
ity

CITY ASSESSORS HAVE
NOT YET INVESTIGATED.

Savannah Will Probably Get Large
sum from RAILROAD Tax Case.
The city tax assessors have not yet
made an investigation of the Central
Railroad tax case. which the Control
Ter General says will bring a large sum
of money into the treasury of the city
OF Savannah and Chatham county, as
we'll as into the state treasury. The
controller says only the state. Chat
ham county and the city of Savannah
will be entitled to the taxes.
The city assessors were of a different
opinion, thinking the taxes would have
10 DE prorated along the line of the
railroad. They will make an investi-
CATION TO ascertain If the Controller Is
correct. If he is. Savannah will get
over $4,000 in back taxes, If the case
is finally won by the state.

Work on the new ice plant being
erected by w. w. Aimar at his lum-

A girl who gives her age as is

was sent to get her. She lodged the
officer, however, going out the back
way. The officer told the woman who
conducted the house that unless she
produced the girl when she returned,
she, too. would be taken before the
superintendent.
Shortly after noon the officer was
notified that the girl was in the house.
