The savannah Brewing Co.

The extensive improvements which
were undertaken sometime ago by the
Savannah Brewing Company, with a
view to producing d draught and bottle
product better than any made, have
been completed. Quite large sum
has been expended by this company in
making these alterations, but the re-
suits have been attained, and the beer
turned out now is as fine as beer can
be. The materials used are the best
and purest money can buy. And the
equipment at the brewery is equal to
any in the country.
The company's standard brands,
Champagne and Cabinet, are we'll
known, and have had long and sue
cessful run, and they are more popular
now than ever. The Double Brew is rec
oghized as superior in extract to any
imported beer brought to this country.
The Savannah Brewing Company ex-
tends an invitation to it's friends and
patrons to. visit the plant at any time.

ages in Sum of $4,000.
For injuries received from a bale of
cotton falling on him while loading a
vessel for Williamson g. Rauers, steam
ship brokers, James Johnson has
brought suit in the City Court for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000. The suit
was filed by Attorneys Shelby Myrick
and Robert L. Colding for the petit
toners.
In his petition Johnson alleges that
the accident was due to carelessneSs
and negligence on the part of the
defendants, in that they did not EN-
ploy a hatch-tender to guard against
just such accidents The petition al
leges that johnson was in the hold of
a vessel on the morning of Jan. u
loading cotton, when he was injured.
He was employed by Williamson &
Rauers.
Suddenly, and without the slightest
warning, he alleges, a bale of cotton
fell through the hatch and struck him
on the head and shounlder, inflicting
all sorts Of damages and running near
ly all his senses. His speech, vision,
and hearing are all affected, his back
injured, and his nervous system so
badly Jared that he will never fully
recover, he declares. For two weeks
he was compelled to remain in bed.
he alleges.
The injuries have greatly handicap
ped him in his work and have untitled
him, he claims, for certain kinds of
work Because he holds that the ac-
cident was due to negligence on the
part of Williamson &c Rauers, in not
employing a hatch-tender to warn the
men below, he wants them to pay for
his injuries with 10000.

RECREATION PIER
AND BATH, TOO.
AT REAR OF THE CITY HALL.
ALDERMEN SAY THIS WILL SOLVE
THE PROBLEM

Plan Advanced by Aldermen Dixon
and Garfunkel and Supt. Garfun-
keI-PrOpOsed Pier Would Run to
New HarbOr Line and Would
Command Excellent View of River.
WOuId Make Building More At
tractive, it as Contended-PubIic
Bath Underneath.
A recreation pier in the rear of the
new City Hall, with a fountain and
flowers in the center and a public bath
underneath, will be planned for next
year.
After giving the matter considerable
thought the plan was suggested at po-
lice headquarters yesterday morning
by Aldermen Dixon and Carfunkel and
superintendent of Police Garfunkel.
Those to whom the plan was sug-
gested were favorably inclined to the
scheme, and the aldermen stated that
they would let the matter drop. The
carrying out of this suggestion, it is
cOntended, would give Savannah not
only a handsome City Hall, but place
from which to view the harbor as well.
A pier on the site of the old Ex-
change is, Of course, out of the ques-
ton now Mayor Myers says, no mat
ter who should favor it. The city has
determined to erect the City Hall on
that site, and has already let the con-
tract. Nothing could change this de-
termination, as the matter has gone
entirely too far for any changes at
all to be considered. The advocates of
the new scheme, however, contend it
Is a better plan, even if the City Hall
were not settled fact.
Level With Bay Street.
The building would add to the at
tractiveness and beauty of the pier,
and the pier would add to the beauty
and attractiveness of the new build
ing.
The plan suggested by Aldermen
Dixon and Garfunkel is to have the
pier built on a level with Bay street,
with entrances on either side of the
City Hall. There is plenty of room
in the rear of the building for the
pier, as it is proposed to run it from
the building to the new harbor line.
The cost of the pier would not be as
great as might at first be supposed, 1t
is argued by the advocates of the plan.
1t is thought the pier could be con-
structed for $4,000. The plan or the
two aldermen is to have the city build
the pier, if financially able to do so,
after the completion of the City Hall.
City Could Afford 1t.
1t is thought that this can be done.
as the city is now in a better financial
condition than ever before.
1t would not only add a recreation
place for the people of the city, but
would materially enhance the appear
ance of the new building, the alder
men say.
The matter was talked over at the
city offices during the day, and every
one to whom the suggestion was made
heartily favored the plan. The pier
would, of course, have to be construct
ed of steel.
A Public Bath House.
1t has also been suggested that pub
lie bath he established under the pier
and this will doubtless be done if the
pier suggestion meets with success.
The pier would command an excel
lent view Of the river and harbor. II
is proposed to make it a place OF
beauty, with a fountain in the center
and flowers around it.
It is believed the present suggestion
will be carried out, though there is nc
chance for the suggestion to erect the
CITY Hall on a different site

GAMING HOUSES
HAD To CLOSE.
REAL ESTATE AGENTS ACTED.
ONE MOVED FURNISHINGS AND AN
OTHER PUT ON LID.

Doth "JOints" On Congress Street.
Properties Had Been sub-Let-NO
Legal steps Were Taken by Real
Estate Men, But Those sub-Letting
Notified to Stop Practice-DOes Not
Mean Inauguration of War
Against Gaming, Says Mr.. Dem
mOnd, But is Simply Carrying Out
Firms Policy.
Again the gentlemen Of the green
cloth" have been compelled to move.
Yesterday one place on Congress
street. between Whitaker and Bull,
moved to a new domicile, and last
night place on the same street, be-
tween Whitaker and Barnard, was
compelled to put on the lid and close.
The action was taken by the real
estate agents who have charge of the
properties in question for their own
ers. The particular movers in the
two cases mentioned above were You
mans & Demmond. No legal action
was taken.
Notice was brought to the real es-
tate men recently that certain proper
ties over which they had control were
being sub-let for gaming purposes.
In accordance with their usual policy,
steps were taken at once to put stop
to these proceedings.
Notice was sent to the persons who
had directly rented the property that
unless the sub-rentalS were withdrawn
promptly, and the gaming apparatus
shut down, they would be prosecuted
before the criminal court on mis-
demeanor charge.
The Lid is On.
This action served all purposes and
no resort to legal force was required.
The gamesters were promptly inform
ed by their landlords that henceforth
there was to be nothing doing" and
kicks and protests awaited nought. The
result was as specified above, one out
fit has sought a new home and the
other silent and in darkness, misses
the usual habitues and sounds. The
lid Is on.
Mr.. E. K. Demmond, of the firm Of
Youmans & Demmond, stated last
night that the action taken by his
firm was not the beginning of a war
on gamblers and gambling, but sim
ply a step in accordance with their
regular policy.
There is no war on" he said, when
asked about the matter, but simply
a carrying out of our usual policy
We do not allow our properties to be
rented for gaming purposes, and as
soon as we learned positively that GER
tain properties were sub-let for this
purpose, we took our action.
Carrying Out Policy.
There were no legal steps taken by
us. We simply sent the men who
have been sub-letting our properties
for gaming-room purposes notice that
they must put stop to it at once,
under peril of legal action. This
had the desired effect and the places
running on our properties were clos
ed"
1t was reported that other real es-
tate men would take similar action
in the near future unless the gam
blers take the hint and close down Of
their own accord. There were many
and loud complaints heard last night
from the paste-board hustlers and
their remarks about the real estate
men were far from complimentary.

THIEF SNATCHED PURSE
ON CROWDED STREET,
Tom Ray Caught in the Act on West
Broad Street.


For snatching a purse on West
Broad street, near Liberty, last night,
Tom Ray, a negro boy well known to
the police, is at the police station,
charged with robbery by force.
The purse was stolen from Lucinda
Graham, colored. The boy attempted
to jerk the purse from her hand as
he passed her, but she held to it and
a struggle followed, in which the wom-
an was thrown to the pavement.
She called loudly for the police, and
the boy ran after securing the purse.
He had gone but a short distance,
when he was caught by Henry Young,
a negro in the employ of Williams &
Grice, who happened to be passing.
He was held until an officer arrived.
The woman had $2.10 in the purse
when it was snatched. This she re-
covered.
