NEW I>l HUE HI'II.HIXUS.
SOT KM E nm UTtUlZlNti THE
OLD CEMETERY PHOPEHTY.
An Advantageous Mto for the Fraction
of City and County Buildings—How the
KxchaiHfe and the Present Court House
Could he Disposed Of.
The suggestion made by Judge A. Pratt
Adams a few days ago in reference to the
South Broad street cemetery is creating
considerable favorable comment. The
opposition to the conversion of the land
into a site for public buildings seenjs
“chiefly to be sentimental and there is blit
little of that. Sacred as It is, through be
ing the burial place of so many of the
early residents of savannah, the erection
of new buildings thereon would be a great
improvement rather than a desecration.
Until within recent years the grounds
were insecurely enclosed, and they ac
quired a notorious reputation as a clan
destine place ol meeting.
The ownership of the property is in dis-
pute, but it is the opinion of the best
counsel at the bar that thecitycan obtain
a title to it. Christ Church claims a small
portion in the northwest corner, and there
has been considerable litigation over it.
The case was taken to the Supreme Court,
and is still on the docket.
The reasons why it is desirable to erect
county and city buildings on this site are
numerous. It is scarcely disputed that
new buildings are needed. They are now
widely separated. The Exchange, aside
from being small, fails to represent the
importance and dignity of a city the size
ot Savannah. The Cotton Exchange wants
the buihliug, and is willing to pay a good
price.
The court house, which was hardly
adequate a half century ago, is now de
cidedly unadapted to the !ied of the
court.
Neither the City not the Superior Court
has more than one lurr room, M hen the
grand jury is in session the petit juries
have no place to which to retire. In
criminal cases that are not concluded in
one day the members of the jury are un
necessarily inconvenienced under the
present arrangement in being kept to
gether. There is no room provided
for the Judge of this court, and
much annoyance .results to both
himself and others ; members
of the bar and jurors more especially who
wish to consult his Honor. The record
rooms are al<r) too small, and many val
uable documents are stored in boxes and
chests. These are liable to be lost and
destroyed. To attempt to remodel this
building would entail the expenditure of
a large amount ol money without pro
ducing an adequate benefit. The ground*
and building, it is thought, could
be sold to the government lor
the site of anew post office, which
is greatly needed. Contingencies
which are constantly arising elsewhere
and w hich may arise here, make it de
sirable to locate the new jail near the po.
lice barracks. It, has not been many
months since an excited populace talked
seriously of assailing the present jail.
Remove it to the cemetery and it will
have the protection of the police. It is
argued that the erection of a jail there
will depreciate the value of adjacent
property. Surround it by other build
ings, however, and neighboring real es
tate will be enhanced in value. The lot
itself would be greatly improved
bv new buildings, and the unoccupied
ground would be beautified and preserved.
It is the only available and most desirable
site. The use contemplated is the only
one which could lai made of it. Many of
the bodies were disinterred years ago.
The city has prohibited any more burials
ihere, and the only reason for keeping it
in its present condition js based almost
wholly upon sentiment. Many of those
w T bo have ancestors interred there have
expressed a willingness to assist in any
scheme for the erection of public builtf.
ings on the property. Very few, if any,
disinterments would lie necessary, so
many have there already been.
The money obtained from the sale of the
buildings now used bvthe city and county
would go far in defraying the expeuse of
new ones. The jail fund that Jias been
accumulating for several years is now
between $20,000 and $30,000. Bonds could
be issued to secure the balance at a rate
so low that it would not create a percepti
ble burden to the tax-payers. Elsewhere
sentiment and the spirit of public Im
provement have clashed in recent years
on this same question. One of the promi
nent instances was that of a cemetery in
the city ot Philadelphia.
The cemetery was decided to be objec
tionable by the City Council ami was con
demned. The bodies were disinterred, a
street extended through the grounds and
commodious and tasty residences were
erected on the rest of the grounds. It is
bow one of the most valuable proper
ties in tjje city.
AT THE Kiri.lC RANGE.
Annual Prize Meeting of the Savannah
Rifle A Modal lon.
The annual prize meeting of the Savau
nan Rifle Association was held yesterday
at the Schuetzwi Park rifle range. Kilty
live members of the association went out
from the city on the 3 o’clock car and par
ticipated in the prize contest.
The members were divided into four
classes, the basis of division being the in
dividual record of each member during
the year. Four prizes, Sharpe’s rifles,
were offered besides the associa
tion medal, which is worn for the
year by Ihe member of the lirst
class making the highest score. The
first class yesterday bad twelve men on
the range, "the second class twenty-two
men, the third class fifteen men, aud'the
fourth class six men.
The shooting was at 200 yards off hand,
with military rifles and open sights, and
under Creedmoor rules. The possible
•core was 50.
The shooting began promptly at 4
o’clock and ended a few minutes before 7,
when it was suspended and the associa
tion Immediately returned to the city, it
being impossible on account of the gather
ing darkness to see the sights. The result
of the contest was as follows:
Winner in first class—Capt. J. W. >lc-
A1 pin. Score 43.
Winner in second class—Martin Tufts.
Score 41.
Winner to third class— E. Dwelle. Score
IW.
Winner In fourth class—J. B. Hipley.
Score 34.
The association medal was awarded to
Capt. McAlpin. who will wear it until the
next annual contest In June. I**o. If was
held last year by I)r. J. D. Martin, fitere
was no formality in presenting the class
prizes, each winner being given an order
for the rifle.
The next practice meeting of the asso
elation will be held next week on Friday,
and weekly thereafter during the season.
The weather at the range was all that
could lie asked, the rain which fell in the
city passing around the Schuetzen Park.

The Testimony Concl utled and the Argu
ment to be Heard This Morning.
The attention ol the City Court was oc
cupied during the most of yesterday with
the trial of the suit of A. G. Layton
against Emil A. Schwarz. It was alleged
that the plaintiff was engaged in this city
last winter as an advertising agent, and
that while he was soliciting advertise
ments for some desks, which, it was
claimed, were to he placed in the
principal hotels the defendant (Schwarz)
caused the plaintiffs arrest on an
illegal warrant, the illegality ol the war
rant consisting in the fact that it charged
Lavton with “cheating and swindling,”
instead of charging him with being a
“common cheat and swindler.” It was
also claimed that the prosecution was
malicious for the reason that the defend
ant did not act in go-d faith when he sued
out the warrant, and that be did not have
probable cause or any kind of circum
stances of justification for having Lay
tou arrested. The plaintiff alleged
that the imprisonment and prosecution
had injured him in the opinion of the
business men from whom be was seeking
contracts of advertising, and that he was
unable for many weeks while the case
against him was pending to successfully
execute contracts into which he had en-
tered.
The defendant in the case showed that
he was a furniture and car
pet dealer, and that Layton
had obtained goods from his store to
the value of s6l 15, when, according to
his advertising contract with Layton, the
latter was entitled to but $25 worth of
goods to be used In the Harnett
House display dess only. The plaintiff
denied that lie was limited bv
standing with Schwarz toobtaining goods
for use only in the Harnett House desk
The principal witness for th<- prosecution
was the plaintiff, who was i tgidly cross
examined by the defense as to the con
traits which be had made with adver
tisers. There were sixteen witnesses for
the defendant, tbe majority of them being
introduced to show wnat the reputation
of the prosecutor was before and about
the time he was arrested. The admission
ol a great deal of the defendant’s testi-
mony was stubbornly resisted.
The defendant made a motion lor a non
suit on the second count ot the plaintiff's
declaration, which, after argument, was
finally overruled. The defendant also
amended his plea by introducing one
of justification, when the remaining
testimony on the part of the defense was
taken. At this stage of the proceedings
witnesses were introduced to show that
the prosecutor left the Harnett House
owing its proprietor, and that
he had been previously requested
by the proprietor of the Pulaski House to
leave that hotel. One of the witnesses
testified that it was known at tbo Pulaski
House that the prosecutor had attempted
to induce one of the boys employed at the
hotel to commit an offense of beastiulity.
The testimony for tbedelense
ed with the statement of Mr. Schwarz.
The court at 9 o’clock took a recess un
til this morning at 10 o’clock, when the
argument will be beard.
Tue petit jurors not engaged -in the
trial of tbe case were discharged until
next Tuesday morning.

DEEP BEA SOUNDINGS.
Some Valuable Work Being Done by tbe
United States Cutter “Blake.”
The United States cutter Blake passed
this port on Wednesday and put into
Charleston late Wednesday night. The
Blake started several months asfO for the
Northwest Providence channel for the
purpose of taking deep sea soundings, but
shortly afterwards left there to anchor in
the Gulf stream, between the Fowey
rocks and the Bahama banks.
The spot whore the Blake anchored was
just 200 miles east of the deepest part ol
the Atlantic Ocean—l.soo fathoms in
depth—discovered by Capt. Pillsburv two
years ago. The Blake anchored in 481
fathoms, and succeeded in dredg
ing up a large quantity of
specimens of animal ami vegetable
life. These are under the charge of Dr.
Rush, U. S. N., but they have not yet been
tabulated, and when this is done, among
them will probably be found many spe
cies hitherto comparatively, if not en
tirely, unknown. But until they shall
have been tabulated Dr. Rush does not
care to have them inspected by the unsci
entific world.
Capt. Pillsburv’s current motor—his
own invention—worked most satisfac
torily, as did all his apparatus. The mo
tor measured the spread and velocity of
the currents in 3'j. 15, 30, 65 and 180
fathoms of water. ’Though Capt. Pills
bury has not yet completed the calcula
tions bearing upon the velocity of deep
sea currents from the data on his charts,
he says he is pretty well convinced that
in the lower depths the change in the ve
locity is not so great as towards the sur
face.’ The surface currents are stronger
with the deflection of tbe moon, and as
this deflection in these latitudes was
always greatest at this time of tbe year
towards the full moon, it follows these
surface currents are now at tneir strong
est.
It is plain, from his observations during
tbp past three months, that the strength
of current of the Gulf btrearn is invaria- :
biy on the Florida instead of the Bahama
side of the stream. He has found the tem
perature’of the stream to range from 42
degrees to 81 degrees. Tue greatest ve
locity of the stream at the surfaeels about
4V£ knots, but the fluctuations are fre
quent and great.
Altogether Capt. Pillsburv has bad a
most satisfactory voyage, and when his
observations shall have been properly
tabulated, and his calculations deducted
he says he will be able to give the scien
tific world a treat aa to deep sea sounding,
current velocity, animal and vegetable
life, and the earth’s surface for miles un
der the sea.
To Whom It May Concern.
From Monday, June 1; we shall offer in
every department of our store various
lines of goods, at a sweeping reduction,
thus giving to tbe ladies of Savannah and
vicinity an opportunity lor Genuine
Bargains seldom presented. Upon in
spection you will find in many instances
the goods offered are about half what they
are worth, and they are all fresh, desir
able goods—no old stock. In making pub
lic announcement of this great and all
important transaction it will be necessary
to dwell briefly on certain facts, so that a
true and correct conception of the actual
particulars of this sale’ may tie conveyed
to the public mind. First and foremost
we would impress on our patrons the very
important tact that in a few months we
will vacate our present store and occupy
tbe spacious building now in coursenf
construction on corner Broughton and
Bull streets. When finished it will be by
lar the largest retail store in the State,
and will compare in size and style of ar
chitecture witn any in the entire South.
We are over-stocked, and our New York
buyers advise us to close out our stock of
goods no matter at what price, as the
enormous contracts which they are now
making with manufacturers in the North
and East are much lower than what pres
ent slock was bought. Therefore we are
compelled at once to close out the balance
of our stock, in most instances, without
one cent of profit to ourselves, counting
* ourselves sufficiently repaid by the op
i purtunlty afforded us to close our entire
stock so that we will ba able to move into
our new building with an entirely new
1 line of goods. It also enables the house
i of A..R. Altmaver & Cos. to achieve that
‘ which all heretofore have been powerless
jto accomplish, namely: To offer a prime
new stock of goods which in a large ma
; jority ot instances fall far short of oover
! mg their cost of production, and are
throughout the most thorough and posi
tive values ever before offered to the people
| of Savannah and vicinity.
Wo will not name prices as prices give
no definite idea of value, but ask you if
I you have anything in our many depart
ments to purchase, or if you are likely to
| need anything in the near future it will
repay you to* visit us, even if you are
compelled to make a brag journey, as we
propose to sell most of our goods without
one cent of profir, a state of things which
we think never before existed in this city.
A public benefit remains for the bouse of
A. K. Altinayer & Cos. to accomplish,
which tuev submit with all their privi
leges and advantages to their num
berless kind and appreciative patrons.

leading man, as war; exnected, appeared
to better advantage than the others, who
have not yet become quite tamiliar with
their parts.
Miss Annie Helen Blancke wns seen for
the first time in the role of “Chip Red
mond.” Her “Chip” will be as vivacious
and yet as natural as ever a mountain
girl was. Nothing seemed overdrawn.
Miss Addie MoCready and Miss Augusta
Chambers caught the spirit of their parts
and acted them with merit.
The rest of the support will doubtless
be perfectly satisfactory after one or two
more rehearsals. The cast is as follows:
Bill Redmond, the Moonshiner’s Chief,
Mr. James Neill
Chip Redmond, his want,
Miss Annie Helen Biancke
Doc Adams, his bookkeeper Mr. L. K. Doric
Ike Smith, his overseer . Mr. F D. Miller
Injun Jim, Chip’s playmate,Mr.F. M. Readick
Earle Landrum, u United States Captain on
revenue duty Mr. J.F. Doyle
Gen. Geo Landrum, his uncle,
Mr. G. S. McAlpin
Arabella Montgomery, an old maid,
Miss Augusta Chambers
Grace Montgomery, her niece,
' Miss Addie MeCrcady
Capt. Fitzsimons, a United States Captain,
Mr. Deitrich Scbroeder
Soldiers, Moonshiners, Ballet.

This is a phenomenal year in the Cloth
ing trade, and the fates seem to have con
spired in favor of the people, tor the bot
tom has been everlastingly knocked out
of the business, and no mistake. Well, if
Clothing must ba given away, I can reach
just as lar as anybody, and I propose to
have a hand in the pie. Young men, old
men, noys. everybody, do please remem
ber that my Clothing always has been
and is superior to any offered in Savan
nah—fine, material arid strictly tailor
made 'suits . Don't forget this. 1 am go
ing to hold my trade, and also supply ail
who are not yet provided for. i will,
thereiore, from nowon. meet and sell at
anybody's prices, and better than that, I
won’t refuse any fair offer. I don’t care
wnat inducements may tie held out to you.
I will meet them, and maybe do better. I
will make this a red letter season, for the
public that they will long remember.
If it comes to giring away Clothing, I
will be in the front rank. Sign of the

The wonder of those who go to the Itar

can tie ottered to the public at such mini
mum rates. Without exaggeration, the
Harnett is as good as that of the Soreven
House, and the rates just one-half a*
targe. Courteous treatment mak°s up
the sum of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—

Honesty is the Best Policy!
This should be the rule of every merchant.
It has been mine for 37 years—all my lue—and
I have Never Deviated from mat Rule
And Never Shall!
Tbe public is convinced that it does not re
quire to lie a judge of Diamonds or Jewelry,
when they purchase of me, as I take good care
of even the most Ignorant. I agree with what
is said by others, that there are lineerupulout
people in the business who have no regard a
to what karat or quality goods they sell, o
How Much They Overcharp
Their Customers.
But experience proves that tho man
treats the public with justice, that is,
Neither Deceives uor Overcluirfs*
Is bound to do a successful business My
business has steadily grown and issdln
creasing, for the public appreciates
FAIR ail HONEST DEAISG.
Having n very large and desirable .Kk ot
DIAMONDS, WATCHES and .TEWhftY on

the season In near at hand, I shall glvrfreatcr
