OFFICIALS WILL
LOOK FOR SITE
FOR THE NEW PEST HOUSE.
WILL GO TO COUNTY FARM WE'D
NESDAY AFTERNOON.

Committee VIII Report to Council
at Wednesdays Meeting, on LOca-
ton Selected - No Doubt About
Change Being Made, Unless Ii
Turns Out That the Cost Is Very
Heavy, as Some of the Officials
Now Fear Will Be the Case.
The special Council Committee OF
the pest house, Mayor Myers, DR.. Brun-
ner, and a committee from the County
Commissioners, accompanied by DR..
Elton S. Osborne, county physician
will visit the County Farm Wednesday,
for the purpose of selecting a site for
the new pest house.
The trip was to have been made last
week, but was postponed because May
or Myers had to go to Macon for n day.
Council meets Wednesday night and
the committee will endeavor to for
mulate a report in, time to present it
to the aldermen then.
verbal report will probably be
made at the meeting Wednesday night,
and a written one prepared later. Ow-
ing to other meetings Monday and
Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon is the
first day that it would be possible for
all the members of the committee to
attend. 1t was decided to make the
trip then, so as to be able TO report at
the regular meeting Wednesday.
Anxious TO settle Matter.
The members of the committee are
anxious to get the matter decided. This
can not be done at one meeting, as
several conferences between the mil
itary and the County Commissioners
will probably be necessary.
By starting on the matter at once,
however, and getting a report from
the committee in. there will be some
thing to work on. 1t is thought there
will be no trouble in selecting a suit
able site on the County Farm. The
present plan is to have the city and
county pest houses together.
Cost Worries Aldermen.
Most of the aldermen favor the plan
to move the city pest house, so that
the new rifle range may be Quilt. I'm
less the city will move its pest house.
the building of the range on the pro-
posed new site would not be possible,
as a portion of the building is directly
in the line of fire.
The only trouble that is likely to
arise in the matter is the cost of the
change. Some of the officials fear
that the move will cost a great deal
more than the city can afford to spend.
There are several aldermen. however.
who are working hard to get the
change made, and their efforts will
probably be successful.

DAY IN SUPERIOR COURT.

Land Sold by Parties Residents at
New York, New Jersey, and Vir-
Hinin-SnIe Subject to Lense,
which Expires on January I.
Work on Mig Savannah Plant Will
Begin with Opening of the New
Year.
The first legal step looking toward
the building of the marine railway by
William Kehoe & Sons was taken yes
terday with the filing of the deed to
the property on which the big plant
will be built. The deed was fled in
the Superior Court for record.
All of the parties to the transaction
with the exception of the members of
Mr.. Kehoe's firm, are non-residents
of this state. The principal party to
the transaction from the sellers end
is Harriet c. Jones of New York. The
other parties of the first part are resi-
dents of New York, New Jersey, and
Virginia. For this reason there are a
number of state seals attached to the
deed, and the signatures of court Of
ficials in New York, Richmond, and
other places.
The tract Of land is described in the
deed as all that land lying in East
Savannah and bounded as follows: On
the north by the Savannah river; on
the east by certain lots known as a
part of the estate of C. A. L. Lamar;
on the south by Bay street, and on the
west by the public dock of the city
of Savannah. The exact acreage is
not specified in the deed.
The consideration for which the sale
is made is placed at $4,000. The sale
is subject to lease, running until the
first of the new year. AS soon as this
lease expires the property becomes sole
ly that of William Kehoe g. Sons.
Work on the marine railway will start
Immediately after Jan. l.
The details of the big plant were
described in the Morning News some
time ago, Immediately after Mr.. Kehoe
had made announcement of his plans
and stated that the plant would be
completed. Taken with the present
plant of the enterprising Savannah
company, vessels of 1900 tons can be
built and thoroughly equipped in Sa-
vannah.
Every facility for hurrying all repair
work and for remodellng and similar
work will be put in the new plant

sells, and the people knew nothing
whatever about navigation or war
fare.
Capt. Cook said that when the An

RESORTS PREPARE FOR
BIG CROWDS TO-DAY.

ThunderbOIt and Casino Popular
With Amusement Features.
Preparations have been made for
large crowds of visitors at all of the
resorts to-day. At Thunderbolt, the
Electric Amusement Park Company will
have extra employees on hand that
there may be no delay in taking care
of the crowds. Lessee Nelson, of the
Casino, is prepared to take care of any
number of visitors.
Thunderbolt and the Casino have be-
come doubly popular since the estab-
lishment of the amusement park. 1t
always drew large crowds on Sundays
during the summer months, but now
scarcely a night passes without num-
bers of visitors being on hand, if the
weather is good.
Besides the orchestral concert at the
Casino, all of the new amusement
features will be operating. The to-
boggan remains the chief attraction in
the amusement line, though the Par
isian maze is also very popular. The
proprietors of the amusement features
at Thunderbolt are very much graft
fed at the patronage they have receiV-
ed.
At the Isle of Hope, Barbee's pavilion
has been a popular resort during the
last week, dancing having been started
for the season. On every Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
night during the summer there will
be music and daBcing at the pavilion.
To-day a large crowd is expected, as
this resort is always we'll patronized

CALLED DR.. HOBBY A LIAR.

English officer Met the Young Sur
Eeon's Right-Hander and Dropped.
DR.. w. C. Hobby, United States Ma
rine Hospital surgeon now stationed at
Honolulu and we'll known in Savannah
through having been stationed here
two years ago, recently gave an Eng
lish army officer a lesson that he will
not soon forget on board a vessel at
Honolulu. DR.. Hobby is an athlete as
well as a physician and a gentleman.
During his residence in Savannah he
was popular both socially and profess
sionally. The San Francisco Examiner
prints the following account of the
doctors meeting with the English Off
ceg:
Capt. A. w. Warwick is by his own
asseveration an officer and a gentle
man. At Honolulu he was indiscreet
enough to call DR.. w. C. Hobby a
liar DR.. Hobby, being likewise a
gentleman, replied with his fist, like
a gentleman. Capt. Warwick, a de-
scendant, doubtless, of the celebrated
kingmaker, lay down. The value of
this story lies in the light that it
throws on international views of what
constitute a gentleman.
DIR. Hobby is of the Marine Hospital
the steamship America Maru in quar-
antine at Honolulu. In regular course
the passengers were lined up on deck
for inspection, but one was missing.
Capt. Warwick, the lineal descendant
of an impartial kingmaker, was in no
hurry, and people of an inferior race
could wait. Whether he was taking
a ''baWth'' or wanted to finish his Gig
arctic or merely wanted to admins
ter a lesson in good manners--what
ever the cause does not appear and he
did not appear.
DR. Hobby sent for him, but he
took his own time while the other pas
sengers stood around on deck and
swore. Three-quarters of an hour they
waited
This was his message to DR.. Hob
dy: If he wants to see me let him

of an hour the British warrior strut

When the motion for a new trial
in the case of Mary c. Goette against
NJ. j. Desverges came to be heard be-
fore Judge Cam in the Superior Court

In the affidavit he swore that the
inimical statements made by him at
the former hearing were erroneous,
and he wished to withdraw them. They
appeared erroneous, he claimed. in the
light of subsequent events.
The case occupied the greater part
of the time of the court. After coun-
sci for both sides had argued the mat

When court again convened the argu-

the former trial was continued. The

Between America and japan and
Held Back Expected Letter.
No letter has been received recent
ly by her Savannah relatives from
Mrs. DR.. Fuehr, daughter of Mr.. H.
P. Smart of this city, and now with
her husband in Kobe, Japan.
Formerly letters have been received
regularly from Mrs. Fuehr and the
delay is believed to be due to the ac-
tivity of the Russian Vladivostok
squadron.
Only few days ago the sinking of
a Japanese transport by that squadron
was reported. This vessel was one
of the line which formerly ran between
San Francisco and Yokohoma. Though
the transport probably held no mail
at the time it was sunk the activ-
ity of the Russian squadron is believ-
ed to have caused the mail-liners to
be careful in sailin, and the service
is, therefore, certain to be more or
less interrupted.
