LONG COUNCIL MEETING
EXPECTED TO-DAY.

Not Many Matters 10 Come Up, but
Building Ordinance VIII Take Time.
The City Council will hold its regu-
lar meeting this afternoon. The
chances are that the session will be a
rather lengthy one, as the building or
dinance will have to be read. The or
dinance is the longest ever introduced
in Council. 1t will be read for the
first time to-day advertised and put
on its passage at the next meeting two
weeks from now.
Mayor Myers has announced that he
intends to see that the ordinance is
strictly enforced. Under the ordinance
the city will have the right to condemn
any building that is thought to be I'M
safe, or that has been put up contrary
to the provisions of the ordinance. Fire
escapes are required and the building
inspector, the director of public works
and the chief of the fire department are
made a commission to locate the fire
escapes.
The building inspector has been
greatly handicapped in his work by
reason OF his lack of authority With
the passage of the ordinance this will
be remedied and the building inspector
will be in a position to make builders
carry out his instructions.
Accounts against the city amounting
to $17. Hill will be approved by Coun-
Gil and ordered paid. An application
from Norton Frierson for permission
to build line of telephone poles from
the Eagle Manufacturing Company to
the foot of Sims street will be read. Mr.
Frierson has contracted to build the
line for the Southwestern Telephone
Company, which already has a line
from Collins. Ga, to the Eagle Manu-
featuring Company. The object is to
connect with the long distance lines
here.
There may be one or two assessment
rolls ready for the meeting, though
they had not been finished yesterday
afternoon. The improvement of EN-
NETT Park will be taken up. Roadways
will be ordered laid out at once. The
other improvements that are to be
made in the park will probably go over
until next wear.

Summer Trip Unsurpassed on the
Continent.

The trip to Salt Lake City or to the
Pacific coast via that point over the
Denver and Rio Grande System THE
Scenic Line of the World" is the most
beautiful in America. No European
trip of equal length can compare with
it in grandeur of scenery or wealth of
novel interest. Then Salt Lake City
itself is a most quaint and picturesque
place and well worth the journey. Its
Mormon temple, tabernacle, tithing Of
flee and church Institutions; its hot
sulphur springs within the city limits;
its delightful temperature. sunny
climate and its Great Salt Lake-dead-
er and denser than the Dead sea in
Palestine-are but d few features of
Salt Lake City's countless attractions.
There are parks. drives. canons and
beautiful outlying mountain and lake
resorts. Imagine. if you can, a bath
in salt water a mile above sea level
and in water in which the human
body cannot sink. Inquire of your
nearest ticket agent for low tourist
rates to Salt Lake City, or write for
infor,ration and copy of salt Lake

OVER TWO THOUSAND
AT POLICE PICNIC.
Was One of the Most Enjoyable Out
ings Police Have Ever Given.

The police picnic at Tybee yesterday
Was the largest that the policemen
have ever had. 1t is estimated that
the attendance was over 1000. Every
thing passed off smoothly, and the
picnic was much enjoyed.
The greater part of the crowd spent
the entire day on the island, though
some went down only for the after
noon and evening. There was not a
single accident to mar the pleasure
of the day.
Late in the afternoon there was a
tug-of-war between the police team
captained by the veteran of the de-
partment, Policeman McQuade, and
a city team, captained by Sergt.
Woods. Two out of three times, Capt
McQuade and his men outpulled the
other team. Sergt. McCool was tine
referee. Policeman J. j. Guilfoyle, who
has been away on a months leave OF
absence, was at the picnic. He says
he had a fine time at Atlantic City
and other resorts while away. but that
the day at Tybee be at them all.
Most Of the crowd did not return I'M
til the late train last night.

LACK OF INTEREST IN
COURT HOUSE SALES.
Total Proceeds of August Sales Ag-
EregRted Only S4,11O.


The Court house sales yesterday were
marked by a distinct lack of interest.
There were not more than forty
persons present including the auc-
tioneers. All property disposed Of was
at a forced sale and only the hardest
work on the part Of the auctioneers
secured even a reasona BILE price. The
following is the record for the day:
Youmans & Demmond sold a portion
of the Hugh ]. Foley estate, on Park
avenue, near Burroughs, for $3,l05.
The property fronts on Park avenue
and runs back to Waldburg street
lane. There are four two-story houses
on Park avenue, known as Nos. sos,
61O, 6l2 and GA Park avenue. west, and
the lots. The property was covered
by mortgage of $500, 1t is renting
for $50 a month.
The first bid received was for 81, 500,
the value of the mortgage. The prop
erty was then rapidly pushed in jumps
of 800 to the $4,000 mark A bid of
$1,000 was then made. After that the
price crawled up - s. and $40 bids
until the sale price of So, 1O5 was reach
ed. at which the property was knock
ed down to Mr.. L. F. Broderick.
Capt. John NJ. Barnes, special COM
missioner, by order of the United States
Court, sold the property in the eastern
section of the city, fronting forty-flve
feet on Houston street and running
back fifty feet along Bay street lane.
There is a three-story building on the
front of the house and several small
outbuildings in the rear. The bidding
was slow and the property was final
ly Knocked down to Ellen Burns, agent,
for $500. The sale is subject to the
confirmation of the court
Platshek & Co. sold Lot No. IA, Ty-
bee Island, to Jacob Cohen, for S105.
The lot fronts eighty-five feet on the
beach and runs back for 5000 feet along
the strand. There were but two bids
offered on the property
Mr. l. d. LaRoche offered two lots,
3Oxll0 feet each, on Whitaker street
and Thirty-ninth. One bid of $4,000
was made, but the lots were withdrawn
shortly after, the auctioneer refusing
to sell on one bid
This closed the sales, which were the
dullest and most apathetic that have
been held in many months.

BRANDT is DISTRESSED;
WIFE is DISTRESSED;
And Actions of Brandt Are Distress
ing to L. =. Authorities.

After the name of Peter Brandt, who
failed to show up for a hearing on the
charge of perjury, the United States
marshals have entered the laconic re-
mark, Mark xiv, "a" An appeal to
the reference reveals these words,
And Peter followed him afar off,"
And thereby hangs a tale.
Thus far the deputy marshals have
found no trace of the erring Peter and
they have no clues as to his where
abOuts. They appealed to his wife,
but she could divulge nothing, or at
least refused to. They searched his
old haunts about the city, but Peter
was no more. The principal result has
been the indefinite postponement of the
hearing for perjury, and it is probable
that none Will ever be held until Pc
ter remembers that he promised to
come around and be tried.
1t is commonly believed that Brandt
has gone after his quOndam partner,
Henry A. Kruger. Even this sheds no
light on the mystery, as Kruger's
whereabouts are as uncertain as Pc
ter's. But it furnished the basis for
the scripture entry and the authorities
are certain that if the Santa Kath-
rina" man can be located they will
find Peter following afar off"
Yesterday Mrs Brandt called on the
marshals and told them Peter was so
distressed that he has gone off, l know
not where. He has left me without
money and the house rent is due, and
/ am so distressed" That was all the
light she could shed on the disappear
ance. The marshals consoled her as
best they could, and later. in private,
they admitted that as a result of Pc
ter's actions they, too, were sore dis
tressed."
An investigation of Krugers office
was made yesterday and there We're
found several mementoes from those
who had bitten at his tempting bait.
There We're copies of his widely circu-
lated advertisements and near them
letters from Maine to California, an
nOuncing that the writer's enclosed 81
for the lots. Kruger. however, had
taken the money before he departed to
parts unknown.

DYING NEGRO WOULD
NOT TELL POLICE
Who Had shot Him, Though He
knew He Could Not Recover.

knew He Could Not Recover.
Willie Campbell. a negro, shot some
time ago by a party unknown to the
officers, died yesterday afternoon at the
Georgia Infirmary. He had been shot
in the leg and the wound was not a
serious one at all. but he neglected it
and lockjaw resulted.
The police knew nothing of the shoot
ing until night before last, when the
ambulance was called to East Broad
and Harris streets TO carry Campbell
to the hospital. Detectives talked with
Campbell and he told them the name
of the man who had shot him, young
man we'll known in town. The man
was found and carried to the intirmary
for Identification. When the man was
carried before him, Campbell stated
he meant a negro by the same name,
who was from Macon.
The officers can not go any further
in the case, as the negro died with
out having given any further informa-
ton.
