THOUGHT IT TOO HIGH
Mil. BALDWIN’S Rill FOR THE
DILLON TR ACT WITHDRAWN.
Tile City Declines to Sell at a l.ese I'ifc
-11 re—New Bids to be Invited With
5T0,2.'.0 as the Minimum—Alderman
Tliotnae' Proposition to Sell a Part of
the Tract—Lively Debate In Council
Over the City's Finance*.
The City Council met yesterday at 12
o’clock as a committee of the whole and
remained In session for two hours. The
purpose of the meeting was to consider
the bids for the Dillon tract in the city
extension, it was expected that Mr.
D. ii. Baldwin’s bid ol $70,27>0 would be
accepted, but when the committee met
it was learned that the bid had been
■withdrawn. That left the Savannah In
vestment Company the highest bidder, at
$60,000. with E. A. Weil’s bid ot $55,000
the next highest.
STUDYING TIIK BOUNDARIES.
There seemed to be some puzzle over
the boundaries of the land, snd all the
maps about the .Mayor’s oflioe and the
Clerk of Council’s office were consulted,
and a messenger was sent up to the City
Purveyor’s office for more. It the tone
lu which some of the members discussed
tne geography of the extension was an
indication of their feelings they must
have been excited. At 2 o’clock the
committee went out into the long room
and without making a report took a re
cess until 8 o’clock. At that hour the
committee sgain met, and at 9:50 agreed
upon tne following report:
ALL, THE BIDS REJECTED.
Whereas, The bid of D H Baldwin for
$70,220 for the 111 lon tract has boon with
drawn and no other bid bo.ug satisfactory,
therefore it is
KnuAmi, Thatsli the bids now before Coun
cil be and the same are hereby rejected.
Alderman Haines then ottered the fol
lowing:
Jt^n-irn 7. That bids are Invited for the pur
<h;.Bt ofat that portion of the city domain
recently bo or in by the ettyof Savannah lrom
Par ah A. MonetCiiu and others, anil known as
the Dillon tract, lying south of Seventh street
and wed of Barnard, the city reserving all
streets in said tract and also the portion of
►aid tract la Id out and Known as Wells so uare,
and that no hid for a le:-s amount than 370,250
be considered. Ihe city reserving the rigm le

Aitached to this were the following
conditions: One-fourth of the purchase
rnonev to he cash, one-fourth payable
Pept. l, autl th? balance in one and two
years from dale of purchase with 0 per

ALDERMAN THOMAS’ PLAN.
Alderman 'I bouias ottered a substitute
authorizing the sale of a tract bounded on
the north by Eighth street, on the east by
Barnard, on the eouth by Eleventh and
n the west by Florence street, the
minimum hid to be $12,000 —one-
third of ihe price to no cash,
pne third payable s. pt. 1, and one third
Dec. 1. lu support of his substitute Al
certoun Thomas slated that be thought
tne sale would raise as much monev us
the city will require this year outside oi
the regular revenue. The sale oi this
portion if the property, he added, will
tnnance the value oi ihe remainder.
Alderman Wells remarked that be un
derstood Alderman Thomas was opposed
to Hie first resolution b cause it would
raise 100 much money tnis year, but re
quired only one half of the purchase
money to be paid this year.wbile the sub
stitute provided lor Hie payment o! the
whole amount.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY.
. Alderman Thomas replied tiiat he un
■ Afierstood that all oi the money raised was
fcjto be expended this year lor opening
{ ►streets and improving that section, which
Kim did not think was necessary. He was
{ jin favor of the city bolding on to a part.
Kit least, of the property uutil it enhances
?ln value.
I Aldermen Myers and Schwarz joined
Hfi the debate. The latter said that his
/Understanding was i hat the city wlli need
IDiocey to meet a deficit and not for open
ting streets.
On that point Alderman Thomas
’showed that the city’s regular income
'will be $36,400 less than her expenses. Of
‘ that amount the reduction in liquor tax
caused a deficit of $15,400. Then the city
authorized an additional item of $6,000
Tor the water works, and there Is $16,000
'still due on the Dilion tract.
NEW BIDS INVITED.
After a little more discussion a vote
was taken. The substitute was lost and
the original resolution was carried.
An ordinance was then Introduced and
passed authorizing the sale of the tract.
.Bids will be advertised tor in Savannah,
Charleston, Macon, Augusta and At-
Junta, and all must be handed in to the
Cleik of Council before the next regular
.meeting on April 20.

CRACKSMEN AT WORK.
Attempt to Roll Mr. Sternberg’s
Jewelry store Last Night.
An attempt was made to roll Mr. Stern
berg’s jewelry store, at 167 Broughton
street, early after dark"last night.
Mr. Sternberg left the store with his
clerks a lew minutes before 8 o’clock.
He walked to tbo corner of Barnard
street and stepped to talk with a friend
when he heard a police whistle. The
patrolman on Broughton street
and the officer on duty in
the market came running toward
where Mr. Sternberg was standing.
The whistle blew again and the officers
turned Into Broughton street, Mr. Stern
berg went to see what the excitement
was about and found the iron abutters of
a back window of his store open and the
window pried up several inches. Burglar
Alarm < Ifficer Crowley was the first to ar
rive. The alarm at the central oflioe
struck shortly after Mr. Sternberg left
ihe store, which was not more than til
teen minutes, he thinks, belore he heard
the offioer’s whistle.
Mr. Simon Sternberg slated that he
closed the windows and shutters aud
then wound the burglar alarm. AH of
ihe doors and windows were tried to see
if they were properly secured before Mr.
Steinberg leftthe store. The window that
was open showed signs of having been
tampered with from tiieoutside.
loe police are unable to account for
the matter, except on the theory that the
cracksmen concealed themselves in the
lane and under cover of darkness began
operations while the clerks were yet in
t he store, hoping to get the window" open
belore they got away so that tbev could
work later on in the night without fear of
being disturbed. A colored woman who
lives near liy said that two men ran
through the lane Into Barnard street just
before the officers arrived.
Jt is thought tiiat the job was planned
by professional ciaoksmen for a big haul,
and that the window was opened by con
federates,

A Police Court Case in Which the
Defendants arc Missing.
A number of citiz ms living in the vi
cinity of State and Lincoln streets were
sub] mnaed to appear at the Police Court
on Thursday morning to testily tu the
case of Anne Baker and others charged
with violating the city ordinances in
keeping a disorderly house. The case,
however, was not called, ns the defend
ants could not be found by theoliicer seut
to arrest them.
Toe ease grew out of a disturbance last
Sunday night in an old structure known
as No. 74 State street, which, with the
adjoining b nement, is inhabited by a
crowd of negroes who for some time past
nave been a nuisance to the neighbors.
An officer who inspected the premises
reported every room in the two bouses oc
cupied by negro women whose ostensible
occupation is that of washerwomen,
several of whom admitted that they were
living with men to whom they were not
married.
No. 74 and also No. 72 is an old
wooden house with a leaky roof and with
many of its window shutters and sashes
gone. It is owned by non-residents who
don’t care enough for the property, which
Is located in a neighborhood occupied by
some of the best people in the city, to put
it in repair so that it eau be rented to
respectable tenants. The building has
been on tire three times within the last
two years, and In its present condition is
dangerous to the adjoining property.
■While the parties against whom the
warrant was issued have disappeared,
there are still a number of other negroes
in the house, who, according to the report
of the officer who examined into the mat
ter, are openly violating the laws of the
State, and who will probably receive the
attention of the grand jury. Such char
acters ought not be tolerated in any part
of the city, but if they are they should be
required to live in localities which are
apparently tacitly allotted to their kind.

Water Struck in tlic New Artesian
Well at 280 Feet,
Water was struck in the new 6-inch
artcaian well at tbe works yesterday at
a depth of 280 feet—6o feet less than in
any of the other wells. Superintendent
Miller is now sinking the last
well, and expeefa to have the
system in operation by Mav 1.
Tbe pipes to connect the Weils with the
pumps are being laid ami everything got
in readiness. Alderman Wells, Chair
man of the Water Works Committee, vis
ited the works yesterday and was there
when the flow of water began from the
new well. He is satisfied that tbe sys
tem of wells will furnish au am
ple water supply and with
tbe progress of the work. None of the
city’s wells are what may lie called deep.
The well at Dr. Stone’s residence, at
South Broad and Habersham streets, is
down 1,100 feet and there are no signs of
water yet. Thu work has been suspended
temporarily on account of the loss of tbe
drill point at tbe bottom of tne well.
Released From a Big Bond.
Judge Hampton Ferrill, of the Court of
Ordinary, heard argument yesterday on
the application of 1. D. LuUoche and
Harry Hymes, who asked to be released
from Dr. F. X. Mousseau’s bond as
guardian of the Pellertier minors. The
bond was in tbe sum of $20,000, which is
double tbe estimated value of the estate
in tbe hands of Dr. Mouaseau.
The ground upon which the bondsmen
based their application for release was
that the guardian is about to remove the
minors beyond the jurisdiction of the
Ordinary of Chatham oountv. The a]),
plication was graute-d and anew bond
will bo filed.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. APRIL 9,1887.
EIGHTEEN TO THREE.
The Way the CliarlealoolauH Dill
Up the Home Ciuh-
Charleston 18, Savannah 3, was the
score ot yesterday’s game at Charleston.
It was not a very enthusiastic crowd at
the Theatre. Hardly more tbau 100
people staid to see the game through.
Operator Wiggs marked down Savan
r.ah’s runs on f he big blackboard without
wasting any chalk.
The game started off prettily. Neither
eide scored in t,be first, inning, and up to
the fourth it was difficult to tell which
club was going to win. Jones made his
tirst appearance In the box and for awhile
was very effective. In the fourth
Inning the Charlestonians began batting
and drove the ball right and left. The
Savannahs fell to pieces before their
heavy slugging. Jones wus bat'ed for
21 base hits, w ith a total of 26 bases.
Dallas had 0 passed halls. Tne Charles
tons seemingly uad everything their own
way, und scored rapidly when they once
started. They were credited with 15
stolen liases.
The crowd at the Theatre did not count
on the team's winning, but it ex
pected that it would make a much better
showing than it did. To-day Wrenolds
will be put in to pitch, and a different
kind ot game Is looked tor.
Charleston, S. c., April B.—The rep
resentatives of the Forest City met a
Waterloo to-day. ihe score was 18 to 3.
Manager Morton put up Jones, with
Dallas to catch. Cnarleston had up
Smith, one or its best pitchers, and
Childs, a catcher who was also untried.
Contrary to general expectations, both
the new men played exceptionally well.
For the tirst three innings the game was
closely contested. Alter that it was one
sided, Charleston having everything her
ow n way. The Charleston < meu fairly
stripped the leather from * the ball.
The visitors played well but ineffec
tually against the slugging with which
they were punished. I’eltz distinguished
himself by his work in centre
field and by his hatting. Campau ami
Reilly wielded the willow sturdily if not
effectively. Campau’s two-bagger in the
third inning enabled Savannah to break
the ice and score one run. Hines, catcher
of the Charleston team, umpired.
Manager Morton sat in the directors’
stand until the eighth inning, when
Charleston scored eight runs. He ex
pressed himself satistied with the umpir
ing. but before the end of the inning the
team began kicking. The following is
the score:

BEGINNING TO SQUEEZE
UUMVEKS CRI I’l’LKI) BY THE
NEW COMMERCE LAW.
Shippers Unable lo Get Rate* Beyond
the Ohio and Virtually Barred Out of
Western and Northern Territory—Ef
fect on the Rice and Lumber Interest*—
What Business Meu Say About the
Future.
The lumber men are not alone in their
trouble over the interstate commerce law.
The suspension of the long and snort haul
olause on the linos in the Southern Rail
way and Steamship Association affords
partial temporary relief for the territory
south of the Ohio river. But everything
is unsettled so far ns rates beyond the
Ohio are concerned, and the effect on Sa
vannah is going to be much greater than
was at first suspected.
A prominent rice dealer said yesterday
that bis trade is virtually cut off, abso
lutely in the West and Northwest. The
withdrawal of through rates by the roads
north of the Ohio leaves them at liberty
to charge whatever tboy 8“C fit on future
shipments. The Central railroad stamps
on its bills of lading that the shipment is
received and forwarded subject to the
conditions of the new law. A through
rate lrom Savannah to Chicago cannot he
obtained lrom the Central. The Mer
chants’ and Miners’ Transportation Com
pany has given a rate to Chicago bv way
of Baltimore, and thence over the Balti
more aud Ooio railroad. Capt. West,
agent of the steamship line, announces
that the rate may be withdrawn at any
time.
As it is the freight is about 40 percent,
higher tnan the old rate. Formerly the
rate per 100 pounds of rice from Navannah
to Chicago on oig lots was 250. Now It
is 35c. per 100 pounds and with no guar
antee that it will remain at that figure,
because the Baltimore aud Ohio may
obange lu charge lor hauling from Balti
more to Chicago.
Through rates are given bv the same
route to Cincinnati, Zanesville and other
points east of Chicago reached by the
Baltimore and Ohio, and a rate is given
to St. Louis. If these rates stand a great
deal of the traffic between the South and
the West Will certainly go by way of Bal
timore. That; tight to bring the trans-
Ohio lines which withdrew their rates to
terms. Places like Leavenworth and
Minneapolis cannot be reached by direct
through rates now, and no rates
are given for points like Buffalo
and Syracuse, for which it would seem
there can be little excuse Both places
are within the State in which the
Northern terminal of the New York
steamships is, and hence the railroads
ought to he able to iurnish their rates to
the Ocean Steamship Compauy.
No through lates are obtainable, it is
said, for any points in the States of New
York and Pennsylvania outside ot the
cities of New York and Philadelphia. All
of the Northern States are large con
sumers of rice, as aro also the Western
States. The latter enjoy competitive
rates by water up the Mississippi
and on the Missouri. The railroads along
these rivers can justly demand the Inter-
State Commerce Commission to suspend
the long and snort haul clause in their
cases. That will give Now Orleans a
great advantage in competing with Sa
vannah for the trade of the Upper Missis
sippi and Missouri river territory, and
this city is in dauger of being comp'etely
shut out from a largo and profitable
trade which she built up in that remote
territory.
The naval stores buyers are not much
concerned just now, because their West
ern trade will not open ud fairly before
the first of next month. By that time
they hope through rates will be restored
and that they will not be excessive.
The through rates trom St. Louis and
Chicago by way of Baltimore are fortu
nate for the grocers, as they can get their
flour and meats by that route. No con
tracts to run three months or more for
shipments to points outside of a State are
likely to be made without some reference
to the new law.

About Various Linos.
The daylight route of the Deßary-Baya
Line has been discontinued between
Sanford and Balatka.
The Hawkinsville News says that rail
road meetings are held daily on every
street corner in Hawkinsville.
Some gentlemen in Hawkinsville pro
pose to apply lor a charter for a railroad
from that place to Thomasville.
The Macon and Covington railroad proj
ect south of Macon, the Hawkinsville
News remarks, is as “dead as a door
uail.”
Through cars will soon be run over ihe
South Florida and Midland roads irom
Sanford to Apopka, Fla. The connec
tion between the two roads is made at
Longwood.
A geiieral time convention, at which
all the railroad* in the United States will
be represented, will be held at Hotel
Brunswick, New York, April 13.
through schedules, new train rules, the
twenty-iour-hour system of operating all
railroads, and other matters will be ar
ranged.
A railroad meeting was held at Crystal
river last week for the purpose of induc
ing the Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf
Hallway Company uiexiend their road to
Crystal river. Donations to the amount
ot 57* acres of land adjoining He town
aud $3,200 were offered. The mid will
probably touch at that point.
The Albany News and Advertiser has
been informed that a Birmingham syndi
cate has closid a trade lor the oid < utb
bert and Coiumbus road, aud will pay
over the money .Monday. If the Bruns
wick and Western people want to get to
Birmingham aud on to the West they can
do so after this road is built, the Adver
tiser adds, by extending tliefr line on to
Cuthbert. This they can do at a very
small cost, too, for they have the right of
way through nearly every lot of land to
Cuthbert, aud the road graded nearly all
the way.
The case of the Mallory Steamship Dine
vs. the Florida Railway aDd Navigation
Company, in which the complainants
petition the court to restrain H. K.
Duval, receiver of the road, from discrimi
nating against the Mallory Line and in
favor of the Clyde Line freight and pas
senger transportation rates, was argued
before Judge Settle in the United States
Court at Jacksonville on Thursday by
Col. H. BUbee tor the steamship line
and Col. J. A. Henderson tor the rail
road. The argument, was concluded,
but the court reserved its decision.
Southern Express Caps.
Maj. E. W. Clark, route agent of the
Southern Express Company for the Flori
da district, has adopted a handsome reg
ulation cap for the messengers, which is
composed of a stiff crown covered with
a black silk cloth. At the band is a sil
ver cord, and silver lace fringes the top of
the band. In front ot the cap above the
lace are the words in gold letters,
“Southern Express Company.” The caps
are verv neat and will be worn by all the
employes ot the company under the direct
charge of Mr. Clark.
The K nue an<l llrcstur Railroad.
A Borne special says that work on the
Boms and Decatur railroad is steadily
progressing and is rapidly nearing com
pletion. President John C. Prinlup is
using every effort to have the road com
pleted at the earßest possible time. It is
largely owing to his energy and perseve
rance that the work has reached its
present advanced stage. Mr. Daniel T.
Callahan, the principal contractor, is
ably seconding Mr. Printnp’s efforts, and
has shown that he is a veteran rail
roader. The completion of the Borne and
Decatur railway will mark anew era in
ltome’e progress, and will materially aid
in the development ot its natural re
sources,
Elberton to Athens,
The whole taxable property of the town
of Elberton is less than a half million
dollars, while that of the city of Athens
is about $10,000,000. Athens only pro
poses to give $25,000 to the G. C. & N.
road, says the Elberton Gazette, and
Elberton has already subscribed three
times as much iu proportion to her abil
ity. Athens will no doubt make her
pledge good by raising the $25,000, but up
to latest accounts had only secured about
half of this amount. Athens is to be par
ticularly favored iu being made the head
quarters ot the road m Georgia, and it
seems to us should be at least as liberal
In her subscription to it as auy other
point. It is neither fair nor equitable to
expect a little place like Elberton to give
two-hubs as much as Athens, when the
latter has twenty times the ability of the
former. “Tote fair or say less.”
How to Cure a Hoy or Group.
Mrs. Samuel Nutt, of South Haven,
Kansas, tells how she saved the life of her
boy:
I have been using Allcock’s Porous
Plasters for the last ten years, princi
pally for a weak back. Not long ago I
found mv son very much inclined to
croup. He had a had oroupy cough, and
a wheezing sound in' his lungs
every time ho breathed. Ha near
ly died from the obstruction of the
throat. 1 covered him from the throat
to the pit of the stomach with Allcock’s
Porous Plasters. In two hours tne
cough ceased and his breathing was much
easier. In a lew days he was entirely
well. I kept the Allcock’s Porous
Plasters on him six days. Since then,
whenever he is affected with colds In the
throat, I never use anything but an All
cock’s Porous Plaster, which cures
him Immediately, without any inconve
nience. They are the best preventive of
the eroup ever known, and I would not ho
without them for any consideration.

The Erie Bat Trap is one of the simplest
and most effective devices known for ver
min and game. Its plain and deceptive
appearancecompletely removes all doubts
and suspicions of its purpose, and rat
after rat is caught without its fatal work
being either detected or surmised. Tne
rats' barely touching this trap and leav
ing no odor, is the great secret of its
splendid success. Specimens of what it
can do are to be seen at Lovell & Latti
