IMPROVING LOVER'S LANE.
An Important Sanitary Work—Lay
ing Hall’ a Mile of Drains.
The city is doing a very important work
4n the drainage and improvement of
Lover’s lane. Tbe roadway from the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western railway
tracks to \Vaters road is narrow, it has
been diained for many years bv a deep
ditch along tbe south side. The ditch is
uncovered and in some places is five and
six feet deep. It has been almost impos
sible to keep it clear and the water stag
nated. In the summer season it has been
tbe source of a great deal of complaint.
Its close proximity to the road made
travel dangerous.
Tbe city is now putting down tile
drains, a foot in diameter, and is cover
ing the ditch. The work was begun at
the intersection ot Lover’s lane with the
Waters road, and is complete! about half
way to the Savannah, Florida and West
ern tracks. The distance to be drained is
a little over half a mils. The supply of
tile ran out a day or two ago, and two
more carloads, enough to complete the
work, are expected uext week. As soon
as they arrive ihe work wilt oe finished
at once, it will probably take about
ten dais. The drainage Is Irom both di
rections, east and west, Into lUo Kerim
drain which crosses Envers lane about
half way between the Waters road and
the railroad and leads Into tbe Bilbo
canal. The tile drains are porous, and
with tb** connections that are made at va
rious points will drain the lands on noth
sides of the road the entire and stance it is
laid. The tilling up of the ditch will
widen the roadway and make a safe drive.
It is the intention to continue the work
on Waters road next winter, but nothing
further will be done after Lover’s lane is
compiet&l until November.

SET UPON IV THE STREET.
A Longshoreman the Victim of a
Vicious Assault,
| A serious and apparently unprovoked
'• stabbing affray occurred last night in the
neighborhood of Fries and Jones streets.
William Sullivan, a longshoreman, was
going home about 10 o'clock, and some
where about Price and Liberty passed
two voting men—R. Igw Studstill and F.
B. Turner. As he passed them ha
spoke to them, saying: -Good evening,
boys.’’ Taey cursed him and he made
some reply.
Sullivan's story is that when he an
swered them they jumped on him. One
stabbed him in the face and the other hit
turn with a cane which had lead on tho
end. When he got away from them he
went to his home, No. 6 Gordon street.
W net he got there he
found that bo was cut right
badly, and after washing his wcunds be
started tor tbe police barracks to report
the case. Going down Price street he
met a crowd of five young men and boys
near Jones street. He did not recognize
any of them as they came up, but some
one in tbe crowd asked: "Is that you?”
Sullivan said “yes,” and immediately he
was assaulted ipiain by two young men,
one of whom he recognized as Turner.
This time Sullivan was dangerously
cut. He got one deep wound in the neck
that came near being fatal. Another deep
wound was made on his shoulder and a
long rent was made in his coat. Break
ing away from bis assailants, Sullivan ran
down tbe street to a grocery, and rushing
in begged the people to protect him, and
declared that a crowd was trying to mur
der him. Two or three young men who
were in the store accompanied him to the
barracks. Wben Sullivan got there his
face, chest and hands were covered with
blood. He had a cut over bis right eve,
one on the left temple, one on his
upper lip and one on a oheek,
besides the wounds tu tbe neck and back.
He said that one ot bis assailants was
named Turner, and Turner had been heard
to call bis companion Lee. With these
clues the case was started.
Gen. Anderson detailed Policeman H.
M. Morgan to look out. for Turner and his
companion. At 12:30 officer Morgan
found tbe two he was looking lor on Hull
stieet, and with the aid of officer
11. W. Bender took Turner and Stud
still in. They admitted to Sergeant Dun
ham that they had a tight with Sullivan,
hut they dented having cut him. The
Sergeant, refused bail and the two were
held. They are both young men ol about
20.
Dr. Dunn was called to attend Sullivan
and he had the wounded man taken to the
hospital.
THE ROAD COMMISSIONERS.
Eighty-one of Thorn Before the Su
perior Court.
Yesterday was Road Commissioners’
day in the Superior Court. Eighty-one of
them dropped into the court room about
the time for court to open. The trouble
was that the grand jury of the December
term in itj genera! presentment bad pre
sented all tbe Road Commissioners in the
county for not having the roads in good
order. Tne rule against them came up
yesterday.
W urn the case was called Gen. G. P.
Harrison arose and stated that he had
been selected to speak for the commission
ers. He declared that the grand jury of
tbe December term had committed agreat
injustice, and he asked permission to read
a paper. 'lhe paper set forth that tbe
general presentment did not specify any
particular road as being in bad order and
did not present any particular commis
sioners, but with one swoop presented
them all. That was too vague and indefi
nite, Gen. Harrison held, and he doubted
whether the grand jurors had gone over
all tbe roads in tbe county.
The county’s roads are about 150 miles
long, and tbe county is divided into 29 dis
tricts, with three commissioners to a dis
trict. It was also stated in the paper that
tbe grand jury of the March term com
mended the Road Commissioners for the
condition of the road, and it was asserted
that no work of importance had been done
on the roads between tho final discharge
of the December term jury and tbe find
ing of the general presentment of the
March term jurv. In conclusion, the pa
per asked that the ease be dismissed.
Alter hearing the paper read Judge
Adams said that it was in the nature of a
demurrer to the rule and ordered it filed.
Mayor Lester stated that lie had just
been retained bv some of tbe commission
ers. and be rend some decisions of the Su
preme-Court and made a short speech.
At tbe conclusion of his argument His
Honor took tbe papers in the case and re
served his decision. As soon as the mat
ter was over Gen. Harrison lett the court
room followed by the eighty other com
missioners.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JUNE 20, 18915.
GETTING BACK THE LEAD.
THE HOME CLUB HOLDS NEXT
TO FIRST PLACE.
The Charlestons Keaten 10 to 1 — O’Day
Holds the Carolinians Down to Three
Hits—Warner Hatted for 15 Bases—
How the Clubs Stand—The Savannah
Directors Ask for Assistance.
The ninth week of tho Southern League
season ended yesterday. All of ttoc clubs,
with one or two exceptions, are having a
very successful oampaigu. The Atlantas
are In the lead, but their chances for the
pennant are by no means an assured
thing. The Savannahs are a close second.
The Nashvilles have dropped down to
third, and if they are not careful
they will not hold that posi
tion long. The Macons and Memphians
are making a sharp fight. The Macons
have a clear lead of the Memphians for
fourth place., The Aueustas maintain
tbe same position they have occupied for
three weeks. The Chattanooga* are now
seventh, but they are making a gallant*
tight. The Charlestons are last, but are
playing in better form than at the start,
and wilt stand well before the race is
fin shed.
The leading clubs are closely bunched,
and changes are likely to take place any
clay. The Savannahs, under Hotaling’s
management, have been doing excellent
work during tile past week. Tbe victories
won over Charleston and Augusta have
shown what tbe club can do. They are
second in tbe race, with a (air chance ot
going to the front this week.
The following is the number of games
lost and won, the percentage of games
won and the standing of each club In the
league up to date:

(The above table is made up from the score
ot games actually played.)
Tne Savannahs have an equally as good
chance as any club in tbe league to win
the pennant. Tney are but .04 percent,
behind the leaders. With a firm grip on
second place they are likely to go to the
front any day. The Atlantas are in tie
lead but are not likely to stay there.
They are not doing as well as they did at
the beginning of the season. The manage
ment of the club is not satisfactory. The
Nashvilles are weakened by the loss of
several players. Memphis is now the only
club to be (eared.
With the prospeotof winning the pen
nant before it there is danger that the home
club will go to pieces. The management
is in debt. The players’ salaries are be
hind. The directors cannot see their
wav and unless something is done
at once they say the club will have
to disband. The directors will ap
peal to the public this week for
subscriptions. They ask tor enough
money to pay off tbe indebtedness and to
carry tbe club through tbe rest of the sea
son.* ltremainsto be seen whether Savan
nah will withdraw from the club and allow
the club to succumb for want of patron
age or whether it will give it a liberal
support.
The Augusta club came near going to
pieces a short time ago, but tbe oitizens
there put their hands in tbeir pockets and
lifted it out. Macon had to be helped out
in the same way. Tne Savannah direc
tors say that they have done their begt to
put a good club in tbe field and to give the
public good sport. How well they have
succeeded the public can judge lor itself.
Savannah has the reputation abroad of
having the best playing team in tbe league.
Tbe directors placed on sale two weeks
ago tickets good for the rest of tbe season
tor S2O. But very few of them, however,
have been sold. Tbe purchase of these
tlokets is, in a measure, equivalent to a
subscription. They are still on sale. Tbe,
directors ask the patrons of tbe games to*
buy them. They will canvass the city
this week, and if they do not meet with a
favorable response the players will be re
leased at once and tbe club will disband,
ltreruains for Savannah to decide whether
it will have base ball or not.
THE HOME CLUB WINS.
The Charlestons Defeated by a Score
lO to 1.
The Charlestons got but three bite off
O’Day yesterday. Tbe home olub batted
Warner tor ten singles and four doubles,
and won the game by a score of 10 to 1.
Gilman made the only run for the visit
ors on a wild throw to third base by Field
in the fourth inning. McYey, Gilman
and Richmond were the only visitors that
found tne ball.
It was an easy victory for the home
club. O’Dav pitched a magnificent game.
Up to the seventh Inning not a bit bad
been made off his delivery. He struck
out five men and madeeidbt assists, and
led the batting with three singles and two
double base bit**. An unfortunate throw
to third base, lotting a runner score, and
two bad stop* by Fields were the only er
rors that the home club made.
The fielding whs superb. Morlarltv’s
running caiob of a long fly to right field
by Brosnan, Miller’s short slop work,
Collins’ work at second and Gillen’s work
behind tbe bat were tho features of the
game.
Warner pitches wbat at first is a very
deceptive curve, but the locals had little
difficulty In finding it, and be was batted
hard from the start.
The team held together well and did
good work iu the field. Gardner, for some
reason, did not play, and McVev was put
in his plsce. The visitors did the best
they could, but were outplayed at eyerv
point. The following is tbe score ol the

ly pounded out of the box, tbougn no one

tioogas new pitcher, Shenkle, arrived to
day and occupied the box for the locals.
He was very effective, though a little
wild. Nashville could do notuing with
him. Tne enthusiasm is high hero. Ar

crowd.

There is a good deal o f dissatisfaction
among the stockholders of the Charleston
Association over the release of Holland.
The sporting men in Charleston reaped
a harvest Friday. They offered SSO to S2O
on Savannah and found plenty of takers.
Tim Brosnan, second baseman for the
Charlestons, was elected Captain ol the
team in place of Gardner just before the
club left home.
What a Boston umpire said in one in
ning last week, according to the Globe:
“Yumouth. fiboul. Cornpt.egar, asastri.
Yahoe. Whowaah. Fwolog rahrurah
bojsh.”
Cyclone Miller has been reinstated on
trial by The directors took him
back on the written request of very many
of the base ball patrons and of every
member of the club. He will probably
pitch Monday.
Barr, tbe pitcher tor the Washingtons,
tho Philadelphia North American says,
steps into the box parrot-toed, and, as he
unwiDds himself to deliver the ball, be
looks not unlike the dissolving view in
“The Black Crook.’’
President Proudfit will call a meeting
of the board of directors of the Southern
League at an early date to take into con
sideration tbe recent rules adopted by the
American Association in regard to coach
ing, and will also refer to the meeting the
improper imposing of fines by certain
umpires. Tbe last meeting was held in
Macon, and President Proudfit will order
this one to be held in Augusta or Atlanta.
Tbe Charleston News and Courier heads
its report of Friday’s game: “Everybody
Expeoted It,” and intimates that the fail
ure of Gardner to play better ball is due
to causes “which are not of suen a char
acter as can be written about.” It adds
that Weyhing “The Kid” was “hors de
combat, the result of overwork in the box
and of other causes which it is needless
to specify.” This doesn’t look as though
everything is perfect harmony among the
Charlestonians.
Th-'re is no reason why Savannah
should not maintain the best club in tbe
league. It has equally as good a ohance
to win the pennant as any other club.
All that is required is utonev. The
management is in debt. II tbe public will
go to its rescue the club will be main
tained. If uot, the management will not
maintain It at its own expense, and Sa
vannah will be the first to withdraw Irom
the league. The directors ak tbe public
for subscriptions. Unless the public re
sponds the club, they say, will be dis

MANY SITES TALKED OF.
Gossip About the Location of the
New Public Buitdintf.
The site for Savannah’s new publio
building is already tiie subject of much
talk. When Congress adjourns the ap
propriation of $200,000 will be available.
About the first move will be the appoint
ment of the building commissioners, two
of whom are usually selected from the
city in which the building is to be erect
ed. The third may be a Washington
man. They g"t a location.
In tho present case the government
may have to pay a pretty good price for a
site. As early as February last tbe
supervising architect of the Treasury
Department, Mr. Bell, wrote to Postmas
ter Wilson about a site. Tne latter
replied that a suit able lot ou which to erect
a post office and court house would cost
from $50,000 to $75,000. An effort will
pnbably be made to obtain a trust lot, as
there is a strong desire to have the new
building front on a square, Tbe Bay is
too noisy for the court rooms, and the
building will oertainly go to some quieter
street.
There are a number of sites on Bull
street that can bo had, but a big price
will tie asked as soon as it is kuown that
the government wants the lot. In the
past nine years the money order and the
registry business of tne Savannah post
office have increased from 130 per cent, to
160 per cent., and the mail matter handled
has more than doubled. With cheap post
age and a growing population the busi
ness is likely to increase steadily.
In erecting a post office allowance will
have to be made for the growing business.
The plan will probably give the first floor
to the post office and the upper floors to a
court room, judge’s, attoruey’s and other
offices.
Wanted the Warrant Read.
A commotion was caused early yester
day afternoon at the corner of Bull and
Broughton streets by a colored constable
trying to arrest a colored man. Tho latter
at first refused to go without having the
warrant read to him, and the constable
either could not or would not read the
document. Tne loud talking and a slight,
tussle in a minute drew a large mixed
crowd to the scene of action, which dis
persed as quickly wben the two darkies
“pooled their issues” and went off to
gether. They subsequently had a fight
on Habersham street, which ended in the
colored constable getting the best of tbe
battle and carrying his prisoner to the
magistrate’s office.
Usurping the Place of Liquor.
The physicians are still testing the Moxie
Nerve Food plant, which is creating so much
stir. It is believed now that it will make the
liquor trade unprofitable by usurping its
place. It is satisfying the drinker better, and
leaving only the best results, its power to
recover nervous exhaustion is said to be most
remarkable, and leaves no more reaction than
food. It is said to be curing olu drinkers of
the liquor habit by the thousand. Nervous,
tired-out people taxe to it like mad, as, un
like stimulants, it leaves people solid and
strong permanently.
