WATCHING FOR A DUEL
MESSRS. HUFF AND PATTERBCN
NOW AT DAGGERS’ POINTS.
The Former Fxpected to Demand a
Retraction Tb'is Mom!i —lf He
Don’t Make One He Will Be Invited
to Settle the Matter Outside of the
State.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3.—The publication
of the interview with Representative Pat
terson on the Macon bond bills, in which he
charges Representative Huff " ith a r illful
and deliberate lie, tifiel tue town this after
noon with rumors of a duel between the
gentlemen. Both wore at the Houso today
sitting near together as usual, hut quiet and
reserved.
TO HAVE HIS ATTENTION.
It developed, as was expected, that
Mr. Huff would give the matter his per
sona! notice and uouldoall Mr. Patterson to
account. After dark it was rumored that
Mr. Huff had left the eirv with a friend,
aud would invite Mr. Patterson to meet him
outside of the state. Later, however, both
were found to be in the city with no inten
tion of leaving to-night.
A RETRACTION TO BE DEMANDED.
It is quite certain that Mr. Huff will, at
an early date, probably to-tnorrow raoru
ing, demand a retraction of Mr. Patters n
in the usual way. He was el seted t -uignt
with W. H. Rhett f the Atlanta bar, late
of Soutn Carolina and an acknowledged au
thority on the c da. It is understood that
Mr. Rhett will act as bis friend.
MR. HUFF INDIGNANT.
Mr. Huff is indignant at Mr. Patterson's
attack, which he regards as unprovoked,
his own statements being simply facts,
which, he reported to have declared, can
easily bo established. The public here is on
the watch for a sensational outcome.

A NEW KIND OF BOOMiS.

New York, Aug. 31.—The “site
boomer” is anew industry, in New

Fiver since the fair project Deeame an

have been nutting their heads together for
tbe purpose of making all the money possi
le out of it. ’1 hesw men hold options on
half the unimproved property in the sub
urbs. T his wild and distracting species of
speculatio i has produced an uneasy feeling
in real estate circles, and although it is
certain to be ephemeral and short lived, it
is calculated to do a great deal of damage.
Boomers have captured large sections of
land in the vi'unity of Po t Mor is, Rivei
side park, Fordnam ad other localities in
the upper part of Manhattan island, aid
a> e waiting, a-a fox watches a hen roost,
to see what will he done by the committee
on site. That committee is composed of
about a dozen of the leading citizens; but
it has been hinted that there are some
membe s who are not on the committee for
nothing, aid that it will be a very remark
ible triing if big money isn’t made bv
somebody when (he fair site is fi tally se
lected. All sorts of influences aro brought
to bear on the committee to secure tne
choice of this or that 100 iti in.
H ilf a doze i syndic to. and pools have
been formed by the wealthier boomers
and options have < eeu taken on many
hundreds of acres of available laud, that
having a water frontage being the most
desirable. O.ie > 00l has tak n optio is, it is
said, o i no less than three different sites in
the hope that one of tie number will be
chosen, in which event they will not only
clear their options on the otners, but make
a handsome profit bo ides.
Meanwhile the officials and the tax
payers are powerless to stop this species of
speculation. Ultima ely the taxp yers
will, of course, have to pay the piper; for
the pries of the land held by boomers will
bo soinethi g excessive when purchase is
talked of. If a v te were to be taken, the
probability is that Central park wo dd be
selected; but there is ave-y general feeling
that the park should not be perina lently
occupiei as a fair grounds. Besides, it
belongs to the city, and as its selection
would mean the discomfiture of the boom

influence will ba used to prevent it from
being taksn.

AND NOW BOOTH REGRETS IT.
Why Young t-othern’s Name Was
Changed from ad win to Edward.
From the Xew York Times.
This little story about Edwin Booth aad
E. H. S Ahern is here told in print for the
first time. Young Sotheru’s name was
first made Edwin, but it was changed at the
c.iristemng to Edward on acomntof t e
i icidant to lie related. Mr. Booth aid the
elder Sothern were very intimate friends,
and when you ig Sot .ecu was born the
father ;chosa Booth, of ail his fine ids, to
►land godfather to the boy. Mr. Bo th ac
cented the honor and to and a number of his
friends Witti some pride that he was
going to be godfather to Ned Soth
ern’s son. One of his cautious
.friends asked him solemnly if he re
alized the fearful responsibility he wai
going to take on rims-if by accepting the
honor. “How so?” a'ked Booth, slightly
alarmed. “You will huve to be res pons, bio
for the boy’s entire career,” answered the
friend. Kuowiug the somewhat erratic dis
position of the elder Sotheru, this saggues
tion almost paralyzed Mr. B mth. “Good
heavens!” ha exclaimed, “I can’t undertake
such a responsibility as that for Ned Soth
ern’s sou," and he at once telegraphed to
Sotheru his regrets at baiug unable to ae;
copt tiie iuten led honor. Young Sotheru’s
na i,e was, as a consequence, cuanged from
Edwi i to Edward, an i uow, in view ot tho
young man’s career, b>th professio ally
aud socially, Mr. Bo ,th siucerelv regrets
that he gave the excuse for changing the
name.

Mr. J. J. Reily, 30 Whitaker street, Savannah.
Ga:
Dkar Sir—l am a reader of the Morning
Nkws of your city, and see you advertising so
many flue tilings that we never hear of, or see
down here, tha 1 ara often tempted to order,
and would, if tt were not inconvenient and ex
pensive to have little tiii .gs come by freight.
At the first oppor.unity though lam go*ng to
send you an order for several items, w hich you
can send me in one large box. How sh ut your
Candies? 1 see you talking very strong about
their fine quality. I often want a box of Fine
Candies to present my friends. I am a little
puzzled to kn ,w w lere to buy, as your paper is
filled with the advertisements of several, all
claiming to have ‘ the best Candies in the city.”
I want to get the best. Respectfully yours,
S. J. N .

_ Savannah, Aug. 29, 1889,
Mr S. J. -V , Wayc oss, Ga. :
Dear Sir—Yours ot the 27th to hand and con
tents noted. In re ly, I would sav, that when
ever you see fit to send in the order spoken of,
it will have my h-st attention.
Yes' I nave tne finest line of Table Luxuries
and Specialties that it is possible to get, aud a
stock of ti ese goods, such as cannot be found
anywhere in this country, outside of some few
bouses ill New York city, Boston, Philadelphia,
or Chicago.
Now, regarding Candies: If you were in Sa
vannah, intent upon getting s irno fine Candy,
aud would take th - trouble to go to each of the
houses vou speak of as advertising “fine
candies,” w.-re you anything of a judge of what
constitutes even good, pure candy, you would
soon come to the conclusion that there are
ONLY TWO houses in Savannah entitled to
your consideration. Everyone in Savannah
knows who that other party is. He has Fine
Candies—there is no doubt about that. But in
paying this just tribute to the goods he sells,
pirase understand that I do noc for a moment
admit that they are one tot better than mine, it
as good. For very many reasons, too, I am in
finite! v better fixed oil Candies than lie i.=.
1 The house that supplies me my Candies
has nothing whatever to do with my selling
prices.
2. My Candies do not come in one-pound and
half-pound packages, but I bring them out in
bulk (so to speak) aud pack them here to order
in any style and of any kinds wanted. It is
needless to say that for very many reasons this
means quite a difference in my favor in the cost
of Candies.
3. I have a very extensive line of ail kinds of
Candies and Confections, while his stock con
sists entirely of a few packed specialties of a
certain maker.
In conclusi n I would “ay that until I started
my Candy department it was not possible to
Aibtain any Good Candies in Savannah except
Trom this t arty, hence, from necessity, all who
wanted Good Candy were obliged to “go his
way ' Now, though, the situation is changed,
and almost all who appreciate Fine Candies
flow in our direction.
For these reasons, therefore. I think you
would do well to place your Candy orders with
me. Yours truly, j. j. REILY.
