Broughton street, between Aoercoru aud
West Broad streets, was held at Metro
politan ilall at noon yesterday to discuss
the action of the City Council in regard to
the bills lor the pavement and improve
ment of Broughton street. The ac
tion taken by the Council at its
last meeting is not satisfactory to a
majority of tne property owners. A few

Ibis meeting was called to take the
matter iuto consideration and to adopt
measures to secure, if possible, a reduc

wus passing aloug the street April 14, and

stand aside. He said that bo did not
know whose horse it was until Folliard
came out of a store and assaulted him
witn a whip, healing him over the head.
The charge ot the court was not favor
able to an acquittal.
Tue jury remained out some time, and
it was thought that there would ho a mis
trial. A verdict ot not guilty was
brought in, however, and the Judge re
marked that ho supposed tho jury had
found some wav to reconcile tho evidence,
but he did not think lie could have done
so under the admitted facts.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JULY 23. 1880.
ROMES FOR THE PEOPLE.
What Hie Chatham Real Estate and
Improvement Cos. Has Done.
Forty years ago it was a rare thing for
men working lor wages, or even for the
class of small trades people, to own their
homes. Property owners were an ex
clusive class, and the man who labored
for his daily bread at tbe work beucb or
behind the counter, and succeeded in
amassing enough money to buy a house,
was a rura avis.
The organization of building and loan
associations where, by co-operation, men
were afforded an opportunity to buy or
build houses and pav tor them in install
ments, produced a revolution in this state
of affairs. since then it has been within
tbe possibilities for any industrious and
saving man to provide a home tor himself
aud family. Such associations have
largely contributed to the building up of
American cities, and to the encouraging
of economy among the musses.
The plan upon which such organiza
tions are conducted has been improved
from timeto tuncasexperiencesuggested.
The latest Improvement in the mutual
loan system is that under whioh the
< list bam Real Estate and Improvement
Company is operated. That association
completed its first year June 30, and yes
terday the directors declared a divi
dend of 400. per share, payable
on and after Aug. 3. This
dividend is equal to about 7 per cent. In
addition to earning that amount lor the
stockholders tliecompauy has encouraged
a spirit of thrift and saving among its
members, and has loaned out during the
rear $95,400. The secretary and treasurer.
Mi. M. J. Solomons, in his report
•it the workings of the com
pany, gives an interesting slate
moot showing that It has been a valuable
auxiliary lu building up tbe city and pro
viding homes lor the people. The report
says: "A classification of the work ac
complished shows that fourteen now
houses have been built and are now occu
pied by the owners, thus securing homes
for their families. Eleven have purchased
ready built homes with funds borrowed
from the association. Ten cheap class
tenements aud eleven doable tenement
two-story bouses have been erected.
Twenty-three stockholders borrowed to
relieve incumbrances or to make repairs
upon property.”

A GAME WON BY DEFAULT

GAME FORFEITED.
rite Savannah Nine oil the Field and
tlie Ifrqaielte Number of Halls
Pitched Across tho I‘late — Atlanta
Flay* Memphis Without a League
Umpire—Charleston Knocks Out Nash
ville.
Savannah put a game to her credit yes
terday without playing an inning. At
4:30 o’clock the nine appeared on the dia
mond in uniform. Umpire liengie was in
his place, but the Memphis clut>, of course,
tailed to materialize. Knowledge that
this would be the case left every
seat on the grand stands vacant.
The nine took position in the field
and O'Day pitched the requisite
number of balls over the plate to Gillen,
subsequent to which Umpire liengie de
clared the game forfeited to tfavanuuh by
a score of 9 to 0.
Umpire Merritt was in the city yester
day aud Umpire McQuade officiated at
Charleston. The Atlautu-Memphis game
was therefore played without a league
umpire, and lor this and other reasons it is
questionable whether the game at Atlanta
can be recognized at ail in making up the
league summary.
Nashville Knock-0 Out.
Chaklkston, S. C„ July 22.—Nashville
met a AVaterloo at the bands of Charles
ton to-duy in the shape of defeat by a
score of 12 to 2. AVarner and Hines did
tno eflective work for the locals, while
Dundon and Krehmeyer made the sacri
fice for the visitors. Dundon was batted
out of the box, and an attempt was made
to put Jumbo Taylor in to relieve him in
the sixth inning, but as Taylor’s name
was not on the score cards hi' could not
lie brought in. The following is the score:
Charleston ... 0 1 2 0 2 0 3 4 o—l 2
Nashville OOOIOOOOI— 2

Atlanta, Ga,, July 22.—Atlanta and
Memphis played a deferred game here to
day, Atlanta winning by a score of 6 to 1.
A large crowd Was in atl tidhnco and an

Thu summary is;
Base hits: Atlanta 7, Memphis fi. Errors:

Atlanta’s battery was Wells and Gun

Graham Umpired, lu explanation of the
absence o( a leavuo umpire it is claimed
that some misunderstanding resulted iu
Memphis being sent here, and as there
was no league umpire In the city both
clubs agreed to accept Graham, but there
was considerable discussion over it at
the grounds.
Augusta Amateurs Win.
Augusta, Ga„ July 22.—The Henry
Gradys were badly routed by the Augusta
Amateurs here to-day, the score standing
13 to 1. The remarkable part of the game
was the largo attendance, showing the
great interest manifested in base ball bv
Augusta people. A triple play unassisted
was matin by Smith, second baseman for
Atlanta,only a double being credited him,
however, as one mau had been previously
put out.

There is talk of getting up a purse to be
played for by the Atlanta and Savannah
clubs in a series of games alter the regu
lar league season closes.
Manager Smeltz would have a very
weak team indeed if the rumor that he
wants three or four of tho Atlanta
players was true. As the rumor origi
nated in Atlanta, however, its falsity
goes without saying.
Atlanta says that Savannah wnnts the
earth because she claims yesterday’s
game from Memphis. Sava'nnah only
wants wbat the'rules give her, and At
lanta cau lianlFhor last diillar that she
will have her dues every time.
Savannah wll cross hats with the
heavy hitting Nashville club to-day in the
first ol" series of lourgames. The close
ness of the previous games played by
these clubs in this city causes great inter
est as to the result of the present series.
Manager Watkins, of the Detroit club,
says that if Detroit wins the league cham
pionship he w ill try to arrange a series of
games with the American Association
champion. Watkins predicts that two of
this season’s association clubs w ill be in
the league next year.
it is probable that a good-sized delega

lint one child—a (li'lighter—line! blest
the union el' .Mr. and Mrs. Bunibletborj).
She nuelied into womanhood, but in ripen
ing she bad developed few of those lemi
uine charm# calculated to attract suitor#,
and there were indications! that she
would die an old maid if her life was
spared. How to secure a lmsbuud lor
her was the irreat problem in the mind of
Mrs. it. which she wascontinuaily revolv
ing, indignant, sometimes, that her hus
band seemed to give himsell no concern
about it.
Hut a grave subject monopolized the
thoughts of Mr. B. He contemplated
building anew barn that should eclipse
any that his n< hhors possessed. He bad
thought to be the architect of his own
; as he had been of his own fortune,
and had drawn up and torn up innumera
ble plans for it. Hut nothing he could
devise afforded satisfaction.
One evening Mr. and Mrs. Bumblethorp
sat together in their snug littf j sitting
room. Mr. B.’s thoughts were on the
barn, as usual, and Mrs. Is. was thinking
of her daughter and the wariness of
suitors.
At length Bumblethorp spraug to his
feel and exclaimed abruptly:
“By George, 1 believe 1 will advertise
for proposals.’’
“Advertise for proposals!” cried Mrs.
8., struck all of a heap, as she after
wards expressed it; “wiiv, Bumble
thorp, what would the neighbors sav to
that?”
“.Sav, my dear? No matter what they
say. it’s none of their business, anyhow,
Besides, it's not at all unusual. Such
things are done every day.”
“Yes,” said Mrs. 8., 'thoughtfully,
”l’ve seen advertisements of that kind in
the papers,” and sue picked up a paper
to see if her eye would fall upon oiie,
“but folks do not sign their real names,
do they? Something like this would be
better: *A young man ol good lamily
and steady habits can hear of something
to his advantage by addressing Mother
in-law.’ ”
“Mother-in-law? Fiddlesticks'. You
don’t kuow what you are talking about.
1 shall sign niv own name. Then fellers
know who Caleb Bumbletnorp is, I
reckon.”
“Then fellers, Mr. Bumblethorp?”
“Yes. the fellers that we want to reach.
Money’s what they’re after, you know,
and they’ll send in their proposals by the
next mail.”
'•How mtuiy—er—proposals do you
think we’ll 'get?” asked Mrs. 8.,
who began to see an opportunity for mak
ing an eligible selection, though she
didn't <iuiie like that way of doing the
business.
“A dozen like as not. But the more
the merrier. 1 shall ask for plans and
specifications, of course, before selecting
one.”
“Plans and specifications!” exclaimed
Mrs. 1!., more aud more bewildered.
“That’s what i said. iVe must have
plans uiusn’t we?”
“Of course,” assented Mrs. 8., who bad
been doing nothing else but revolving
plans for several years back.
“Hi the first place,” continued Mr.
It., “there must oe a good solid founda
tion.”
“Vou mean pedigree.”
“Now you are thinking about the
stable, but we will consider that after
wards. Toe next thing desirable is a good,
strong Irame. 1 shall insist, on a strong
irame, and it must be thoroughly braced
up.”
“But I thought you didn’t believe
in bracing up,” said Mrs. 8., quite
shocked at such a radical cnange of
sentiment on the part of her husband,
who was an unbending total abstinence
man.
“Mrs. 8., I don’t see what you are
thinking of. A brace here aud there is
absolutely necessary, and a man who
knows his business will put it in.”
“Perhaps—perhaps you mean em
brace,” said Mrs. 8., coloring a little.
“Embrace?” echoed B. with some sur
prise. Then he added testily: “bee here,
mother, 1 don’t want any of your weak
puns over the business. This comes of
reading them funny papers.”
ills. B. rested silent and abashed.
Alter some moments reflection he re
su ined:
“flow mauy stories can we get along
with?”
“Hood graciousl Bumblethorp,” cried
Mrs. It. in genuine alarm, “can’t we have
one without any stories attached? Those
stories are passed about from mouth to
mouth, and then they get into the news
papers, you know.' It will be terribly
mortifying to Celia Ann.”
"Mortifying to Celia Ann? 1 really be
lieve you are getting crazy. Stories are
necessary if you want one that will hold
a good deal.”
“Hold a good deal, Mr. Bumble
thorp?”
“You know what X mean. 1 want
one that is able to stow away lots of fod
der.”
“Why, 1 never heard you go on like
that before. I)o you want a gourmand tor
a sor,-in-law ?”
“Gourmand? Son-in-law? Who’s talking
about a son-in-law ?”
“Why, you are, ain’t you? You know
I’ve been trying year in and year out to
marry off Celia Ann, and didn’t you say
just now that you were going to advertise
lor proposals?”
“Yes, I did,” said B. a light suddenly
bursting upon him.
“Well, wnat did you mean by it?”
“I meant,” said Bumbletuorp, purple
from suppressed laughter, “proposals for
building my new barn!” and then he had
to run out to the back yard where he
could give vent to his mirth iu order to
avoid sudden apoplexy.
