8 THE BAY STREET DEAL. THE CITY'S COMPROMISE, AND WHAT LED TO IT. A’Statement of the Claims of Both Sides to the Property Lying: West of the City Exchange - Why the Case Has Gone to the Legislature. The bill now ponding before the legisla ture regarding the compromise made by the city and the claimants of that part of Bay street, or as it was formerly called the Btrand. lying between the City Exchange and Whitaker street, is the subject of a good deal of inquiry, and many people have ( askod to know on what ground Wilcox, ; Gibbs & Cos. and the Waldburg estate claim . property that has always been looked upon as a part of the public domain. The compromise j has awakened a good dual of opposition, and a number of the Bay street property owners have sent a memorial to the Legislature ask ing that the compromise should not be con firmed. Representatives of both sides will urge their respective claims before the Assembly, and there is every prospect of a warm contest before the bill is finally disposed of. The facts upon which the opposing claims rest are few and simple, but as it would require the decision of a court to settle the rights in the case ths ap peal to the Legislature has been taken. Several years ago the claimants closed up Factor’s Walk upon which their buildings front. The city thought that in so doing the claimants had encroached upon the public domain, so Mayor I tester instructed City Marshal Wade to remove the obstructions. To prevent this the claimants obtained from the court a temporary injunction and filed a bill setting up a claim to the property be tween their acknowledged side lines, and extending as far south as the north line of Bay street. The bill states that their deeds to the property bound the lots on the south bv the north line of Bay street, and that these deeds give them the title to the prop erty in dispute. The city filed an answer, in which it states that when the city of Savannah was first laid out the Strand was set apart us public property and has remained so ever Since; it claims that the buildings now standing upon the claimants' acknowledged property front on their south line and that between the front of those buildings and the north line of Bay street ts the property of the city. It further assorts that no deed or conveyance can rightfully carry with it the Strand or any portion of it. In support of this claim the city cites the action of the Legislature in passing an act giving to a chief justice of Georgia that portion of the Strand lying west of Jefferson street, and argues that unless the Strand had been a part of the public domain the Legislature could not so nave done. The bill and answer have been filed in court for two years, but have never come to trial. The subject has been brought before the Council a number of times, and it was intended to urge the case in the court and have the question settled as soon as possible, but it never came to trial, and finally the claimants made a proposition to the Council to com promise the matter by withdrawing the city’s claim to the property in consideration of the sum of *15,000 to be paid by the Claimants to the city. The Council seemed to think favorably of the plan, but did not think the compensation sufficient, and re plied that it would consent to with draw the claim and compromise for $30,000, but the claimants thought that too mnch and finally they agrrexl on $30,000, the conditions being that the compromise should be authorized and ratified by the Legislature, thus giving to the claimants an undisputed title to the property, and the bill now pending is the one consented to in the compromise. The question of the title to the Strand is not new, in fact, it is more than 100 years old. It is knowm that in 1787 the matter was brought before the General Assembly and a commission was appointed to inquire into it and report. Whether it did so, or whether it was unable to obtain any infor mation on the subject is not known, for there is no record of a report made by that commission, and no record of any of its proceedings. A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE. A. Drive That Ended in a Wedding—A Pair of Suprised Parents. All Marshall House habitues well know “Gus” Daniels, the genial and affable head clerk, who is a genius in his way and who never does things as other people do. Mr. Daniels, like ali other right-minded young men, has, or had, a sweetheart way up in the mountains of North Georgia. His fellow clerks chaffed him about the sweet-scented, square envelopes that came so often, but his pensive smile disarmed their most pointed tests. Finally, about Aug. 10, he left on his vacation, ostensibly for Tallulah Foils. Monday morning last he returned wear ing the tame smile, but the boys say that they thought it was a little sweeter this time. He astonished one of them, for when he was asked about that charming young lady up at Gainesville, he replied “I’ve married that little girl. She is Mrs, Daniels now.” This took the boys aback, but they finally con cluded he was joking, because they detected him addressing and sending a letter to “Miss Ella May Ashford.” But Tuesday a letter was seen in the mail box directed to “Mrs. Ella May Daniels,” aud then the boy* pitched upon him for an explanation ■nd full particulars of the happy event. Briefly, the story as given was this: After visiting the Falls, Mr. Daniels turned his steps towards Gainesville, and the event of Friday shows how well sly Cupid got in his work. Last Friday after noon Mr. Daniels and Miss Ella May Ash ford started oft for a drive. Noticing dark clouds in the sky, Mr. Ashford asked if they would return early, to which his daughter replied, “Oh yes, papa, we will return early.” The course of that eventful ride is not given, save the fact, as afterwards learned, that Rev. C. B. LaHatte tied the knot. Returning •bout sundown, they drove up to the house, and “Miss" Ashford alighted. Good-hyes were exchanged, and Mr. Daniel returned the team to the stable, and catchiug the af ternoon train, was soon whirling along to ward Atlanta, musing, doubtless, upon “the girl I left behind me.” Mrs. Daniels entered the house and told her mother of the marriage Her parents were greatly astonished, of course, and could not iinag ihe it possible. But “all’s well that ends well.” and the pretty bride was congratu lated <>n all sides. Mr. Daniels is preparing a suite of rooms for their occupancy at the Marshall House, and intends to have them fitted up in a most exquisite manner. Mi's. Daniels is a very popular lielle of Gainesville. Mr. Daniels lias hosts of friends here, and is well und favorably known throughout Northwest Georgia. The Tax Rate Fixed. The County Commissioners held a meet ing yesterday morning. Certain proposi tions were made in regard to the jail 0011- ti act, but the board declined to make the proposed change. The board fixed the a- Msuneat for county taxes, as provided in the budget and passed upon by the grand Jury.

A SCHOONERS ROUGH VOYAGE. i Terrific Gales ar.d Rough Seas Passed Through. j The schooner James K. Boyles was towed ‘ up to the city yesterday with her mizzen j mast gene. She Imre the appearauce of j having gone through a very heavy cyclone. J She left New York Aug. 13, with a cargo lof cement bound to Galve ton, Tex., and | experienced fair aud good weather until ; Aug. 18, after crossing trio Gulf Stream. At J 13:30 o'clock in the rooming site took a gale from the cast northeast, which lasted j until the next day at 4 o’clock in the even ! mg. On Saturday, Aug. do, at 8 o’clock, the wind was blowing heavy from tlio east south east. Everything was reefed cios- down. I The wind continued to blow heavily until J Sunday at uoon, when a Imacan light wus made and the wind hauled around to the northwest and blew away the foresail and trysail, these sheets being carried to keep the vessel from drifting ashore. At length the vessel hauled away to the southward. By Monday morning the wind blew a terrible hurricane from the west ward and (luring the night she hud the foro gnfr carried away. On the afternoon of Aug. 33 the wind canted around to the southward, the vessel going all this time under bare jioles. The wind blew fright fully and the sea came aboard th‘> vessel and flooded all the cabins, galleys and forecastle, wetting the clothing and ship stores with salt water. The wind gradually veered around to the southeast on Tueeday. At 3 o’clook in the morning the mizzenmast came down with all the rigging attached, having broken about twelve feet above the deck. In falling it struck the covering of the afterhatch, punchiug a hole dear through the cover, and going down into the cargo below. Great quantities of water came aboard at the time, and poured in on the cargo all that night. The vessel could not keep any 1 ights, be cause the sea was constantly washing over her and flooding the cabin. The wind all this time was blowing a furious hurricane. On Wednesday, Aug. 24, the wind grad ually slackened up, but the ship ran for three days in a very bad sea. On Thursday the crew succeeded in getting the broken mast overboard. Capt. Robinson says that the hurricane revolved and kept his vessel moving round and round with it and she was unable to run out of it. Fridny there was a calm, but heavy rolling sea. The ship made sail for the nearest American port, again crossing the Gulf Stream. On the 29th she encountered another gale from the oast ward with a bad sea on. At 3 o’clock in the morning she broke another foregaff and split the foresail. The heavy sea con tinual with the wind, which hauled around to east north-east. The ship sailed under bare poles, in fact she had very few sails left. The sea washed the vessel considerably, and a quantity of water was taken aboard and all the fresh water was spoiled by sea water. She was spoken by the schooner Benja min F. Lee, which proffered assistance, but it was refused, as Capt. Robinson thought he (lid not need it. At length the schooner took an rlheast wind and came into this port. The entire crew was completely worn out by the experience through which they had passed, and the Captain is suffer ing from the loss of three nights’ sleep. A cargo survey was held on the vessel, the board consisting of Capt. Eddy, of the brig Clara Pickens, Capt. Lozier, of the schooner Welcome R. Beebe accom panied by H. T. Botts, Esq., underwriters agent. Some of the cargo was found to lie damaged by sea water, nut very little to speak of. The vessel will have anew miz zen mast put in, which will require the dis charging of only a small portion of her cargo. PLEASANT WEATHER CONTINUES. All Sections Have Low Temperatures —The Cotton Region JReport. The maximum temperature yesterday was 79“ and the average 70’, being 9“ below the normal. The minimum was 61", at 5 a. m., 4’ lower than the day previous and the lowest reported at any time during the cool spell. The temperature in the eottou districts was about stationary, Thomhsvillo reporting only 55". All the cotton districts save the Savannah, Galveston, New Orleans and Vicksburg dis tricts rejiorted au average minimum tem perature of 56’. The Augusta cotton dis trict, twelve stations, reported an average minimum temperature of 54", tho lowest temperature in the entire cotton region. The 10 p. m. reports showed the tempera ture to is) the highest in the Kio Grande val ley, and lowest in the New England States and the lake region, Portland, Me., and other cities in those sections reporting 58". The highest reported was at Rio Grande city, when- 84' was recorded. Rain fell in the Galveston district, twenty-six stations re porting an average of .02 inches. No other cotton districts reported rain. The 10 p. ni. rsjiorts showed light rains falling in Middle Atlantic, and heavy ones in the north slope of the extreme Northwest. North Platte Neb., reported 1.62 inches from 3 to 10 o’clock. CHANGE OF BASE. Removal of A. B. Hull to More Com modious Quarters. Mr. A. B. Hull, the well-known wholesale grocer, has removed from 83 Bay street, corner of Abercorn, to 5 Abercorn street. The office is on this street, while his large storeroom extends from Bay street lane to Bryan street, with openings on both, giving unsurpassed facilities for ship ping and receiving goods. In this wureroorn, and in the basement will lie kept a large supply of groceries and grain for immediate sale and shipment. The large warehouse over by the canal is tho main storehouse, from which carload lots and other heavy shipments are made. Mr. Hull has now a flue location and a convenient office, but even all the extra room seemed hardly sufficient for the demands of his im mense trade. COMFORTABLE QUARTERS. How the New Jail Strikes an Observ ing Colored Woman. A respectable colored woman was recent ly on a tour of Inspection of the handsome buildings so rapidly being erected through out the city. On arriving at the new jail she stopped and gazod with admiration at its spacious proportion*. “Who dat belong to?" she asked of a passer by. “It’s tho new jail, auntie,” was the civil answer. “Jail!" she cried in amazement. “Dose buckra de make trouble in dis town.

NEW WELLS TO BE BORED THOSE NOW IN USE DO NOT FUR NISH ENOUGH WATER. The Capacity of the New Pump in Ex cess of the Supply Indlcatlono that the Power of Artesian Wells May Be Taxed Too Far-The Cause of the Water Troubles. For awhile yesterday the water that came through the pipes was muddy and discolored, and people began to fear that something had happened to prevent tho use of the artesian water. Supt. Miller was seen and he said that the large pump began “knocking" in the morning, and the river water was turned into the maim through tlio small pump while the large one was examined. Ho found in the new pump some iron filings and dirt that had been left in it when it was shipped here, and there were also some shells wh.ch had been brought up by the water. When it was cleaned out it was started up again and there has been no more trouble. THE WELLS VOT EQUAL TO THE PUMP. The pump has a capacity of 7,500,000 gal lons per twenty-four hours, but the wells do not furnish that much and the supply to to the city is only- about 6,500,000 gallons. Eleven of the wells are in use, and the re maining one will be connected with the pump to-day. “Is a supply of 6,500,000 gallons per day sufficient tor the cityf” Mr. Miller was asked. “Yes,” he replied, “it will answer all ordinary demands, but if there should bo an unusual call, such as t jiere would if there was a big fire, I would have to turn on the river water. 1 will connect the unused well, but I don’t know how much it will add to the supply. It will be but little, however.’’ “The supply of water will not than be equal to the capacity of the new pump?” “No, it will be nearly 1,000,000 gallons short, but lam going to bore more wells. I don’t know what the result will be though. The pumping from all these wells has cut channels from ono to the other through the porous rock that holds the water. Being thus connected the pumping from one af fects the others. THE WELLS AFFECT EACH OTHEK. “When I shut off the pump the water flows from the unused well at the rate of 100 gallons a minute, but when tho pumn is working and drawing water from the other eleven wells the water in this one barely rises to the surface, and trickles down in a small stream. The first well I bored was only 3 inches in diameter and the water rose in it with a pressure of eleven pounds. Then I bored a 6-inch well just a few feet from the first, and this well drew water from the other so tnat it reduced the pressure of tho 2-inch well to about seven pounds. I then bored a 10-inch well 200 feet away. That had no effect upon the others, and when I had bored a number of them, at a distance of from 75 to 125 feet apart, they all spouted freelv, each independently, anil when water was pumped from one it had no effect uiion the other; but now that the wuter has cut channels lictween them, the pressure on each is regulated by the others.” WILL THE NEW WELLS SPOUT? “Have the twelve wells that have been bored exhausted the power of the sutiterrn nean stream to throw its water to the sur face f” “I do not know. It is possible that the new wells will not flow above the surface, and if that is the case we will have to bore them further apart. The twelve that we now have are all in a space covering not more than two acres, and we may have to spread out over more ground than that. The only objection to that is that it will cost so much more to run the mains from the wells to the works than if they were nearer together, but still the expense will not be very great.” Hpeaking of the trouble occasioned by a short supply while the change was going on Mr. Miller said that it all would have been avoided if his orders had been carried out. THE ENGINEERS’ NEGLIGENCE. He instructed his two engineers to give the small pump a thorough overhauling so that it would lie ready for use when the large one was taken down, but they did not do it, and when the small pump was started it failed to supply sufficient water, and the second night that it was run the pressure dropped from 33 to 17 pounds. Believing that the pump had Yioen put in good condi tion, Mr. Miller did not attribute the trouble to it, but thought that a leak had occurred somewhere. He looked for it. but could find none. He then thought there must be something wrong with the wells, and turned on river water, but the pressure was no better. Asa last re sort lie took the small pump apart and then he found that the engineers had not carried out his orders, and that all the pump valves were worn out. Had it not been for the engineers’ negligence there would have been no shortage at all. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and There by the News Reporters. Landrum Lodge No. 48, F. A.

Daniel Butler, colored, who dropped dead on the street, near Farm and Zubly streets Wednesday, will be buried to-day. ' He was foreman of Darnell & Saving's livery stable, West Broad street, and is spoken of as a very reliable, sober and honest colored man. His old employers speak of him very highly. The annual statement of the Ocean Steamship Company show* that Philadel phia appreciate* the Georgia terrapin just seventy times more than the New York ers. The New York line carried one barrel of “coolers,” while the Philadelphia lino t'Kik seventy barrels of them. New Yorkers don’t have' time to partake of “eooter” soup. Jacob Lehwald, a well known drayman of York street, was thrown out of his gig yesterday, sustaining severe injuries about the head. While driving on Jefferson street, the horse started up suddenly and the gig collided with a dray, the shock throwing Mr. Lehwald to the ground. He was curried home and attended to, and in the afternoon was reported to be all right. The police made five arrests yesterday two for disorderly conduct, one suspicious character, and two wife beater* -all colored. One of the latter. Thornton Ranks, run a muck near West Broad street and cleared out the house in a jiffy. He gave his wife a sound beating, but the | silica soon inter rupted his sport When taken to the bar racks he had nothing on but a pair of pretty seedy (Mints and au old ragged linen mister.

The Executive Committee of the Southern Steamship anti Railway Association was in session at Atlanta Wednesday, transacting and discussing routine business Nothing of public interest was done. The Rate Com mittee of Southern freight agents met also and will be in session for a day or two. The only work of public interest was placing manufactured cotton goods in the sixth class. Tuesday was a lively day for McDonough. From early in the morning until late in the afternoon' large crowds of people from many miles in the country came into town to witness tlie advent of the Georgia Mid land at that- place. Tho company finished laying the track at the East Tennessee depot about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The peopii. were highly enthused at the 'doa of having two competing railroads at that place. Supt. Hayden, of the Jacksonville and Atlantic railroad, feels very proud of his record during encampment week at Pablo. Fla. With only two locomotives at his command and a limited number of ears, he hauled during the week 11,463 persons and a large amount of freight, besides running several special trains, without the slightest accident of any kind. With one exception every train ran exactly on time, thus caus ing no delay, except on Thui-sday evening, last week, when hi had an immense crowd on the last train up, which he accompanied himself and ran more cautiously in order to avoid accident. This is a record to be proud of. Projected Railroads. A Knoxville, Tenn., special says: The mountainous section comprising Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Western North Carolina has at present only meagre railroad facilities, but promise to soon be the scene of the greatest activity in railroad building ever known in the United States. The rich coal fields, iron deposits, and timber resources of East Tennessee are beginning to attract the attention of foreign capitalists, and ail tho roads in the central plateau will cross East Tennessee and tap the coal fields either at Cumberland Gap or Chattanooga. Knoxville is the centre of operations, and the recent election, by which the city voted $500,000 for the Powell’s Valley and Knox ville Southern roads insures the early com pletion of several important lines. The fol lowing is a list of the proposed roads either building or under survey: Powell’s Valley, from Knoxville to Cum berland Gap; 63 miles, ready for the con tractors.

C., Sept. I.—Charleston won the third consecutive game from New Orleans this afternoon. The visitors had kicked so much about Simmons’ umpiring that another was selected. Picquett was the man. President Morrow’s failure to provide umpires was a great drawback to the game here. Charleston absolutely re fuses to allow one of their team to um pire, as they have already had two of their best men permanently disabled while umpiring this season. Picquett was not satisfactory to either side, although Charleston’s kicking was done principally by tho audience. Smith und Aydelotte were both hit very frtxdy, but not effective ly.

Some of the meet ings were held in the churches, hut most of them were conducted out-of-doors in va'jant lots. No wnite religious meetings were held as far as known. The conveyance of the extensive “guard house” property to the United States govern ment has been completed, and the papers were recorded in the mesne conveyance of fice Wednesday. It will require from two to three months to perfect the plans for the new post office and court rooms, and the city will have the use of the premises dur ing this time. The new station house will be completed and occupied in November next. A small sum of the purchase money has been left in the United States Treasury, pending the settlement of a novel claim of ownership in a part of the west wall of the guard house stables. Xews and Courier: A prominent rice factor, who was asked yesterday to give his opinion, based, of course, upon informa tion received from his correspondents, stated that the outlook for rice this season was very encouraging. In the year 1888-87, he saiu the receipts of rough rice wore as fol lows at the points named: At Wilmington, 350,0U0 bushels; at Georgetown. 287,482 bushels; at Charleston, 888,172 bushels. The mils here pounded 80,803 barrels. As far as his information wont bo thought that the present crop would not be less than last year’s, eithar in North Carolina. South Car olina or Georgia Every day, he said, the advices from the crops on the Savannah rivei' were bettor. At first it was reported that the entire crop had been destroyed, but now' it appears that this is not the case. Let ters every day show that the damage is not as great as was at first intimated. The rice on the Pee Dee, Waccamaw, North Santee, Cooper, Combahee and Ashepoo rivers was reported to be in splendid condi tion, and, barring a September gale, there was every reason to believe that the coming crop would certainly equal and perhaps ex ceed the crop of last year. Maj. C. F. Hard, who left Charleston for his new home in Bessemer, yesterday after noon, was presented, Wednesday, with a handsome gold wa eh and chain, a token of the esteem of his friends and admirers. The presentation was made by Capt. Simeon Hyde, a life-long friend and fellow-soldier cf Maj. Hard. The watch is inscribed as follows: “Presented to Maj. C. F. Hard by his Charleston friends, Sept. 1, 1887.” The chain is what is known as a “cable” chain, with anchors and a compass, a pleasant re minder to the recipient of his salt water as sociations. Maj. Hard goes to Bessemer, Ala., to assume the duties of secretary of the Carolina Real Estate Company. At a recent meeting of tl“ directors, Capt. Hyde was elected treasurer of the company, to fill the vacancy caused by Maj. Hard’s resignation of that office. The Caro lina Real Estate Company, by the way, is almost entirely a Charleston corporation, although its operations are con fined to the new city of Bessemer.
