ORDER OF MAYOR
BLOCKED LANE
FRAME HOUSE THE BARRIER.
WAS BEING MOVED WHEN DEPUTY
MARSHAL STOPPED WORK.

House Had Been Purchased by John
Funk and Was I'm Act of Being
Transferred From Lot in Perry
Lane, East of Jefferson street, to
Lot West of Same Street-City Had
Given Permission for the Removal
of the House, But Kick Followed
Later.
BY order of Mayor Myers, Perry lane,
just east of Jefferson street, was ef-
fectively blocked shortly before 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A one-story frame house is the bar
rier and until the city takes some fur
Their action it will remain, where it
is. 1t is probable, however that some
thing will be done to-day to relieve
the situation.
The house was on a lot in the lane
about thirty feet east of jefferson
street, and was purchased by John
Funk. Mr.. Funk desired to move it
to lot in the lane. about sixty feet
west of Jefferson street, and obtained
the consent of the city to make the
transfer
Upon the recommendation of the
building inspector, approved by the
Mayor, the necessary permit was is
sued by the Board of Tax Assessors
and the work of rolling the house nine
ty feet down the lane was begun yes
terday morning. Then some one in the
immediate vicinity who owns property,
and carries insurance, got busy.
A visit was paid to Mayor Myers
in his office at police headquarters and
he was told how wrong it was for
the city to violate its agreement with
the Southeastern Tariff Association
and permit a frame structure, no mat
ter how small to go up in the brick
district. The property owner assured
the Mayor that he would have to pay
more insurance if the shack was put
in the rear of his property.
Then the Mayor realized that it
wasn't just the thing to do, and he
promised to correct any mistake that
the city may have made. He lost
no time in writing a letter to the city
marshal to stop the moving of the
house.
Deputy stopped the Work.
Marshal Dreeson was not in his Of
fice but the communication from the
Mayor was urgent and Deputy Hussey
got busy. He went to Perry lane as
rapidly as possible, and in the presence
of Alderman Glatigny, a member of
the Committee on Opening Streets and
City Lots, ordered the work stopped.
OF course the mandate of the city
was obeyed, and the house was left
standing in the middle of the lane.
There it remained all the afternoon and
during the night AS matters now
stand Mr.. Funk has an elephant on
his hands, and the city has a blocked
thoroughfare. Pedestrians can manage
to walk around the house, but vehicles
will have to go the other way.

SPECIAL CHARGE ON
GEORGIA GAME LAW.
And w. j. Watson Is Foreman OF
Grand Jury, Too.

Grand Jury, Too.
The grand jury for the June term
of the Superior Court assembled for
the first time yesterday afternoon and
listened 10 the charge of the court
Mr.. Wales ]. Watson was elected fore
man.
Judge Cam touched on no matters
of local interest in his charge, con-
filming himself 10 those points of law
which the statutes required him to
charge. The sections of the code re-
garding the pension lists and the
budget of the County Commissioners
were omitted, these matters having
been disposed of by the last grand
jury.
One of the points of interest which
furnished no little quiet amusement
for those in the court room at the
time the charge was delivered was the
presenting by the court of the sec
lions relating TO the killing of game
in the close season. Before begin
ming this part of the charge Judge
Cam announced that he had been es-
pecially requested to charge the jury
in this regard, in addition to being
required so 10 do by law.
This remark Of the court attracted
attention to Foreman Watson, he hav-
ing pleaded guilty a few months ago
TO serving game out OF season. He
was fined $40 by Judge Norwood. The
closest attention was paid to
this part of the charge by every one
of the jurors. Just what action is
contemplated, as indicated by the
special request" is not known.
The remainder of the charge was
taken up with instructions regarding
the treatment of all criminal matters
that might be presented to them or
on which they desired to act of their
own knowledge, the examination of the
public schools, the inspection of roads
and bridges, the inspection of condi-
tions in the county Jail, and the ex-
animation of the books of the magis-
trates, ex-officio justices, clerks of the
courts, etc. The code was followed
closely throughout

BIG GAINS SHOWN
IN BANK CLEARINGS.

Week Just Closed 1887 ,2s5.26 Ahead
of Same Period Last Year.
Savannah's bank clearings for the
week ending yesterday show an in
crease of nearly 100000 over the clear
ings for the corresponding time last
season, in exact figures, 1887, 1885.
This increase is due, it is explained,
not only to a general increase in bus
mess. especially in the cotton trade,
but also to the fact that since the fail
ure of the Plant banks in Macon many
of the country banks that formerly
We're depositors in Macon have now
made business arrangements with the
Savannah banks. This business, it is
believed, will be permanent. with the
result that Savannah will show a con-
tinued increase this year for each week
as compared with the same period Of
time last year.

SUBWAY CONTRACT HAS
NOW BEEN SIGNED.
But Verbal Agreement With City
Again Delays Matters.


Again Delays Matters.
The contract for the Gwinnett street
subway was returned to the city yes
terday shortly before noon, the At
lantic Coast Line having signed it.
The city and the Savannah Electric
Company had already signed the con-
tract, and the signature of the Coast
Line officials completes the agreement.
The subway is not to be started un-
til about Sept. /. There was a secret
verbal understanding between the city
officials and the street railway people
in regard to this, as there was on the
Gwinnett street tracks between Hab-
ersham and Abercorn, which are now
tied IN in the courts.
1t was generally supposed that the
Coast Line was delaying matters by
taking several days to sign the con-
tract, but such was not the case. If
the Coast Line had not signed until
the middle of next August there would
have been no further delay. The heavy
traffic of the street railway for the
Casino and the amusement park and
the baseball is the excuse given by
the city officials for delaying the mat
ter.

CITY NOW CLAIMS
FULL OWNERSHIP
TAX EXECUTION MIDDLE.
SEVERAL PIECES OF PROPERTY
BoUGHT IN BY CITY.

1t Is Claimed That the City Pur-
chased Land Now Occupied by
Eagle Manufacturing Company
Alderman GlatiGny Is Interested
in Company and IL Was Upon His
Assertion as TO Lax Methods in
Mnrshars once That Investiga-
tiOns Began.
There were two rather startling de-
velopments yesterday in the tax exc
cution crusade that has been started
by the Mayor.
The amount of the executions will
unoollected is far in excess, 1t now
seems, of what was originally sup
posed to be the case.
1t has also developed that the crus-
ade grew out of a kick made by AL
derman Glatigny in regard to the taxes
for the Eagle Manufacturing Company
in which he is largely interested.
1t is contended that the prop
erty of the Eagle Manufacturing
Company has been twice sold at public
outcry and that both times it was bid
in by the city.
The property, according to some OF
the city officials, therefore, belongs to
the city and not to Alderman Glatigny
and his associates who precipitated the
tax execution investigation. Alderman
GIatigny was asked about the matter
last night, but declined to discuss the
question. The president of his COM
s,sF hn Gg.aaH n
he did not feel free to talk about the
matter He said, however, that his
company owns the land that it is oc-
cupying.
How investigation began.
In the last caucus Of Council the
matter of the Eagle Manufacturing
Company came up. Alderman Glatig-
ny as an interested party and not as
an alderman, stated that he did not
know the land of the company was
within the city limits until recently.
He said the company had received
no benefits from the city. He also said
that an execution had been laying for
three years in a pigeon hole in the
city marshaps office.
1t was with this last statement that
Alderman Glatigny put the city's ma
chinery in motion. An execution had
marshal had not gone TO sleep over the
matter Indede, he had advertised
the property, sold it, and bid it in in
the name of the city.
Legal Question Involved.
There is a legal question involved,
which will doubtless be submitted to
the city attorney. When the property
was bought by the city no deed was
made. In this and several hundred
similar cases the city has bought the
property, but no deeds have been made.
Fo several weeks the city attorney
will probably be kept busy deciding
these questions, as they arise in
dividually.
1t is estimated that there is at least
SAG, 900 due on executions still uncol-
lected. The amount will probably run
considerably above this sum. On this
years taxes alone, there is about $685.
900 still due.

ESTATE TO COMPLETE
CONTRACTORS WORK.
VIII Finish Stables which Cost Him
His Life.

The estate of the late NJ. M. Fergu-
son will complete the work on which
he was engaged when he was fatally
injured. Mr.. Ferguson was busy SUI
perintending the details of the work
when he fell.
AS a result of the injuries received
in the fall he died a few days later.
The work on which he was engaged
was the building of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Company stables, at
Bryan and Lincoln streets.
The application TO continue the work
was made to Judge McAlpin in the
Court of Ordinary yesterday by the adj
ministrator of the estate. The appli-
cation states that unless the contract
with the brewing company is COM
pleted that irreparable injury will ac-
crue to the estate. The application of
the administrator was granted by
Judge McAlpin and work will proceed
on the stables at once.

WEEDS IN CANAL
HAVE BEEN CLEANED OUT,
The County Has Its Work Well in
Hand Now.


Hand Now.
The drainage canal through Cuyler
swamp has been put in splendid shape.
the channel has been cleared of the
spring growth of weeds, and the banks
shaped up.
Heretofore it has been customary to
do this work in April, but Commission
er A. b. Moore, chairman of the Drain
age Committee, noticed that to do it
at that time simply cultivated the
weeds and insured heavy growth, so
this year he put off the work until
June, with good results.
Fifty acres of the rice land of the
County Farm was put in oats this year
and was harvested last week. Supt.
Chaplin says it is the best crop of oats
ever grown in this county.
He has fifty acres in cotton, but the
plant is suffering from the drought.
These crops are cultivated by the wom-
en- and boy convicts that cannot be
used in drainage and road building.

POLICE PROTECTION
FOR SOUTH SIDE.
Three New Men Appointed and Two
Men viii BE Mounted.

With the appointment yesterday of
three new members of the police force
it was given out at police headquar-
tiers that the South Side will have more
police protection.
1t has been arranged by the superin-
tendent of police to mount two more
men for duty south of Anderson street,
thus increasing the mounted force.
For quite awhile the South Side has
been asking for an increase in the
number of uniformed men on duty in
that section.
There has been no additional appro-
priation for the extra men. but it has
been found by the superintendent that
he can carry two men with the money
that was paid for a lieutenant of po-
lice. 1t will be remembered that this
Office was abolished by Council some
time ago.
The new men are Allen NJ. Broome,
formerly a member of the force, w.
