mittee's Ordinance Granting the
South Bound Right of Way Intro
duced and Passed to a Second
Reading.
The city council held an adjourned meet
ing yesterday afternoon, every member
being present.

hour or more in discussing the tax ordi
nance and the South Bound.

taxation at l’-f per cent. Tbe ordinanoe

The ordinance was discussed at length
in the caucus, and it was not
deemed practical, on account of the needed
improvements to the water works system,
to place the rate at less than per cent.
This, with the usual deduction of 10 per
cent, for tbe prompt payment of taxes Will
bring the tax down to $1 33 on sluO of val
uation.

The special committee known as the
boulevard commute! reported an ordinanoe

are to revert to the city.
This ordinance was also read the first
time and will be taken up for passage to
night There was no discussion of oiiner of
the three ordinances, and no action was
taken looking to any further effort to get
the pan-American delegates to inolude
Savannah in their tour of southern cities.
Mayor Schwarz said last night that all
reasonable efforts have been made to in
tiude them to come this way ard it was not
deemed necessary to take any further action
in the matter.
THE EFFECT ON SAVANNAH.
How the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery Will Help the Port.
Snph W. N. Marshall and General
Freight Agont E. 8. Goodman of the Savanj
uah, Amvncus and Montgomery Hallway
were in the city yesterday.
Mr. Marshall says that bis road is com
pleted and ready for badness as soon as
the Savannah and Western railway
connects with it, which will bo in
two weeks. He says there will bean In
crease in the business of the city as soon as
t e road are opened. The country through
which the two railroads extend is healthy
and productive, and it it alroady populated
with an intelligent and industrious people.
There are large areas of virgin forests
along the route, the lumber and naval
storest products from which will seek Sa
vannah for a market. Mr. Marshall says
that the influence of the Savannah, Ameri
cus and Montgomery railway on the trade
of this city will be telt immediately that
the trains commence running, for the reason
that there is already a large traflic along its
lines, and there will be no waiting for the
country to build up. He thougut the peo
ple of Savannah were not fully alive to the
benefits that they are to derive in a very
few more days from this new feeder to the
business of the city.
BLAZE ACROSS THE RIVER.
A House at Vf illlak’s Marine; Hallway
Burned.
The watchman’s bouse at Willink’s
Marine Railway, across the river, was
burhed between 7 and 8 o’clock yesterday
morning. The house was a story and a half
structure. How the fire started is not
known. It made a big b aza. The
“bucket” brigade worked hard to save the
building,but the fire had too much of astart.
At. one time it was thought that
the boat house of the Georgia Uogatta
Association would be burned, and the shells
were gotten out of the house to a place of
safety.
The tug Cynthia wont over to the Are,
but her services were not require;., as the
Are was confined to the house. The British
bark Glengarry had iuckilv come down off
the marine railway the night before, other
wise her rigging would have been damaged.
The fire attracted quite a crowd to the
Bay. It being on the oppisite side of the
river no alarm was turned in.
BUILT IN THE LAST CENTURY.
The Demolishing of the Waldburg
Building? Begun.
The work of demolishing the TVaidburg
bu lling at the northwest corner of Bull
and Bay streets has begun. This is prob
ably the oldest building on Bay street, it
having been built in 1789, and possibly a
portion of the structure antedates the rev
olutionary war. Many well-known firms
have done business within its walls. Just
previous to the civil w.,r it
was occupied by Cohen & Hertz,
one of the principal mercantile
firms of the city. Since that time it has
also been occupied by mercantile houses,
hut for many years past the Knickerbocker
Ice Company bas us 4 it for an ice ware
house. The old structure is to be replaced
by a handsome modem building to corre
spond with those in the rest ot the block.
1 art of the new building is to be occupied
by the Ocean Steamship Company for it*
up-town unices.

SKILL, SCrZNC* AND MUSCLE
A Lively Show at the Athletic Club'e
Tournament.
Tbe first tournament of tbe Savannah
Athletic Club is a thing of the part. It
came off last rdgbt at tbe theater, and those
who were there got their money’s worth —
if not in witnessing good sparring, surely
in the amount of merriment extracted from
it. Every contestant had bl-od in his ere.
and sme of it was bad blood. Before the
evening's entertainment oonciuded. the ODce
snow white boxing gloves were the color
of Carter’s carmine.
There was a lot of hard work indulged in
by tbe various candidates for the medals.
Ab’utaquart of blood was artistically
spilled, and the shirts of the fighters looked
as tnough they bad been through a battle.
In many ca*es it was hard to decide the
winners of some of the entries.
Evidently the judges did not
know their business or e se lacked firmness
in tbe spinal column, for in two instances
they chang’d their decisions to suit the
strong-lunged in toe audience. The position
of judge is a thankless one, but there is no
doubt that mistakes were made in declaring
the victor.
The evening’, entertainment opened by
tbe af pearance of amiable Billy Taylor,
who approached the footlights, and, after
enforcing silence, inquired if any person in
the audience had a stop watch to loan.
After a short wait one was procured from a
gentleman in tne rear of tbe theater,
and it was borne in triumph down one
of the side aisles to the front of the
stage. Tnen Mr. Taylor went behind tbe
scenes and made way for the two young
men who l<>oxed like tbe original Tape
Brothers. Before they got through with
their three rounds considerable blood was
■ Dilled. Tbe contest was between Frank
Silva and J. G. Low, and was at first de
clared a draw, but anally Low was named
the winner.
Hernandez and Motts next trod the
beards, and were about to proceed to
hostilities when tbe latter dropped off of his
obair in a dead faint, and was seen no more,
being literally dragged away by three young
men.
Next appeared O’Byme and Frank
Willing., the former presenting a
magnificent appearance. \Y filings
took honors in the first
round. In the second round he warmed up
to his work and got in a hit every time he
felt in tbe humor, receiving only a few
b ows in return. The result of the third
round was a forgone conclusion. AY filings
looked like a fighter and evidently intendod
t win. He was looking for fight and he
found what he was looking for. He easily
showed bis superiority over his antagonist,
aud was awarded the pelin.
The next contest was bet ween Dixon and
Black. In the first round Dixon won a
knock down. In the second Black fought
Dixon to .a standstill, tho latter throwing
up the sponge. Black was declared tha
winner. Both men showed some soici ce
and lots of practice, and were it not for the
terrific onslaught they made in the first
round, a preity fight would have resulted.
The next two candidates for popular ap
plause were Craig aDd Wallace Low. Tdis
set-to was productive of much merriment,
tne peculiar attitude and seriousness of
Craig aff rding continual amusement to the
spectators. Craig at times seemed to forget
what he was there for, an i gave some beau
tiful exhibitions of sprinting. Low attended
strictly to business, and ia the second round
came very near punching Craig’s head off
The third round was a series of prolonged
pushes administered by Low to his com
petitor, Low won.
Two brawny young men bearing the
names of Luke and Stahl next shied their
casters into the ring and immediately
followed them with their bodies. They
meant business from the word go, an l
iguo. in™ all recognized fighting rules ham
mered each other in good style. They occa
sionaily leaned on each o her for support,
much to their mutual satisfaction.
During the first rouud Stahl fell,
through the violence of his exortious, and at
the conclusion of the round Luke thought
ho did uot have enough and went over to
Stahl’s corner looking for more. In the
second round Luke fell and Stahl made a
vicious punch at the prostrate gladiator but
misled by a bair; whereupon Luke's second
made a big outcry to be awarded the tight
on a foul. The audience protested, and the
referee decided to continue the struggle.
Luke was beaten, but Stahl evidently did
not reulize it and failed to give the few
necessary punches to secure a victory for
himself, Iu the third round both men were
very tired and found it necessary to hug
each other to keep from fall mg. Each
man was liberally decorated with little
rivulets of blood. When not supporting
each other they punched away—o.ie, two,
one, two. The end of the round was
reached, much to the relief of everybody.
The contest wa- awarded to Luke, con
trary to the expectations of the audience.
The referee c uno to tlio front in a few
mlnutos, and fas soon ns he could make
himself he ;rd reversed his ducisiun and
called it a draw. More dissatisfaction was
expressed. Another round was ordered to
give each man a fair show. Luke refusing
to go on the fight was awarded t > Stahl.
Bryan Williams and Fitzpatrick bounded
on for a bout, the latter as kittenish as a
c It. He was much heavior than bis an
tagonist and looked like a sure winner. In
the first round no injury wa done to either
man. The second round opened up with
both men sparring for wind.
Before this aided Fitzpatrick re
ceived a bad cut under his
left eye, and things he ran to look {blue and
his eye black. Both raon were cautiou3 at
the beginning of tho third round. Fitz
patrick reached many tim?s for Williams’
provender holder and ribs, but failed to get
there. Williams virtually euded the fight
by knocking Fitzpatrick completely out.
The next contest, was a farce. Safford
and a timid, sarinking youth bearing the
sooriquet of the "Belfast Spider’’ca ne on.
each with anew pair of glovos. Saff >rd
simply played with the Spider. In the
second round the audience jeered the Spider
off the stage.
Tho next event proved to be the best of
the evening. There wa3 evidently blood
between Frank Willings and Black.
They were both winners duriug the
early part of the evening in their
respective boutsflandj the audience was
w rkei up to an enthusiastic pitch. Both
mou had their friends, who made nuisances
of themselves by shoutiDgall sorts of advice
and instructions across the footlights. In
the iirst rouud Willings forced the fighting
and played for B ack's stomach. Black was
wary aid countered on WUlin°s’
jaw. Willings hal the best of this
round. In tue second round ho again forced
the fighting. There was much clever work
done by both men; they were wa y cf each
other, and time was called with them spar
ring for wind. The third round opened
witu both men very shv. Thov use 1 up
more than our good minute simply looking
at each other. Tt s were noth exhausted
aud were sparring tor wind. This getting
monotonous, Willings again commenced
hostilities, aid planted a few good body
blows on Black, who was not slow in coun
tering with some nice ones on the jaw.
After this there was more fanning the air,
uutil Willings reached for Black’s stomach
with hi* left. Not much damage
was done after this. More
gentle purring took place, aud
time was called. A draw was declared, but
tho referee wa* very slow in nrriving at
that conclusion. Another round was or
dered. There was some good fighting
done bv both men, but it was hard to de
cide who was the better man when time
wa* called. There were crie* for another
round but one judge was In favor of Wil
ling* and one of a draw, so the fight was
given to Willings.
After this Htuhl and Jack William* ap
peared iu the corner*, but Williams evi
dently wanted to go home aud ended the
oout**t l y knocking Htahl out fa one round.
It wa* nearly midnight when the lost event
wa* finished. The winner* of the medals
were K, IF. Willing*, ligh* weight; Bryan

NO INCREASE IN WATER YET.
The Deepening of tha Artesian Walla
Fails to Add to the Flow.
Thus far the 10-inch well being deepened
at the water works has shown no increased
water volume. It has been drilled to a
depth cf about 700 feet, and it will be put
down to 1,000 feet, and if no increase of
flow follows Supt. Maiming saya that the
experiment of deepening o ner wells will
hardly be attempted, but new wells will be
dug. Tbe other wells, tbe superintendent
say*, are drawing from this well.
Mr. Manning was asked if the pump is
not taking some of the supply from the
river, and he said yes. As long as the ar
tesian wells do not furnish a sufficient sup
ply, enough water must be takea from the
river to make up for tha deficiency.
Tnere is enough of the muddy waters of
the river mixed with the artesian to dis
color the water, and the mixture is said by
p hysicians to be the cause of tbe prevalenc!
of bowel disorders siuoe its introduction
into the mains.
The water oommitte was in session after
the adjournment of the council yesterday
afternoon and the water supply was dis
cussed. It is expected that tne committee
will report a plan for conduits aud reaervolr
at the water works, so that the natural
flow cf the wells can be conducted to a
reservoir from which the pump can take the
supply, and it is believed that by cutting
off the pipes and not pumping from th j
wells the fl >w will be increased so that the
partial useofjriver water may be abandoned.
Anew pump for the deep artesian well od
the Springfield plantation, as the nucleus of
anew water works plant, is bei g dis
cussed. and as it ii conceded that something
must be done to increase the water supply
it is possible that some s’eps will be taken
looking to the c instruction of anew plant.
REAL ESTATE FLYING HIGH.
Mr. Exley Refuses SIOO,OOO for 100
Acres of His Farm.
It is understood that a syndicate has of
fered Mr. Exley SIOO,OOO in cash for 100
acres of land lying west of the Central
property, and between .the city and tha
water works, and the rumor goes that the
offer was refused. It is said that the Cen
tral railroad was the real bidder, and de
sires the land for its new lumber and naval
stores wharves now being constructed.
Gen. Alexander is out of town and Mr.
Exley could not be seen yesterday, so the
rumor could not bo corroho-ated, although
the reported deal was the talk of the street
during the day and is believed to be well
founded.
Rrope ty in every direction is rapidly
appreciating in value, and one tract that
was considered high when it was bougit
two years ago for SBOO changed hands last
week at $4,500.
A gentleman said yesterday that a tract
of laud that wouldn’t have brought over
$5,000 five years ago he could now soil for
$5.i,000 it he wanted to dispose of it.
It is said that Mayor Sch warz was offered
$75,000 for his tract of land southeast of the
city and declined tee offer. Oa another
tract south of the citv which a syndicate
was formed to buy, and which by delaying
to close its option within the time limit 'oaf,
tho price went from $55,000 to sßo,ooo.
Although that was only a tew weeks ago it
is understood that SIOO,OOO wouldn’t ‘ buy
the property to-day.
ROB3ED BY A NEGRO FOOTPAD.
Mrs. Kate Brown’s Struggle with a
Black. Thug.
A bold highway robbery was committed
at Liberty street iano and Barnard street
shortly before 8 o’clock last night, a colored
footpad snatching a pocketbook from Mrs.
Kate Hrowu, and making off with it in se
curity.
Mrs. Brown, her daughter and two other
ladies wore walking out Barnard street,
when the negro, who was evidently in wait
ing near the lane entrance, rushed out and
snatched the pure. Mis. Brown did not
relinquish it without a struggle, during
which the determined ruffian tore her cloth
ing. The pocketbook contained about $-10
and the key of Mrs. Brown’s store in tho
Knights of Pythias building.
To the screams of “murder” which the
affrighted ladies made a private watchman
at the partially burned Lester houses hurried
to the rescue, but the footpad escaped
through the dark lane, going in the direc
tion of the De Hu to.
Mrs. Brown says that she thinks she can
identify the thief, as he corresponds in stat
ure with a negro whom she has more than
once seen suspiciously loitering oatside her
store about tu6 time she usually closes for
the day. The negro wore a light hat, and
was of s’out buiid.
Tho ladies were so badly frightened bv
tho suddenness and boldness of the attack
that they are unable t > describe the fellow’s
g moral appearance, and after the desperate
struggle the victim of the robbery fell in a
faint. S o had almost reached borne when
intercepted by the robber.
A BUSYING GROUND DUG INTO.
Human Bones and Coffins Found in
Habersham Street.
Iu excavating for the Habersham street
sewer, between Duffy and Henry streets,
yesterday afternoon, the workmen dug
through what was once a burying ground.
The remains of half a dozen coffins and as
many skeletons were dug up. Tim coffins
were not more than two and a half or throe
feet below the surface. Except the knots
iu tho boards there was nothing but a
streak of decayed wood imbedded in
the sand where the coffiu once
was. Inside of this were tho
skeletons buried tightly in the sand and
well preserved, ah hough they crumbled to
pieces as soon as they were exposed to the
air. Iu the sand around the skeletous were
numbers of army buttons from the uni
forms of Union soldiers.
Tne high ridge of ground about what is
now Henry and Habersham streets, but
which in 1865 was way beyond the limits of
the t >wn, was a camping ground for feder
al s ildiors duriug Gun. Sherman’s occu
pancy of the city. The skeletons are
presumably those of Sherman’s soldiers who
died and were buried there.
The discovery of the skeletons caused a
sensation in the neighborhood, and cr >wds
of people visited the excavation. Dr. Cor
son obtained one of the best preserved
skulls, but the other botU3 were left on the
edge ot the excavation, or were thrown
back under the sand.

PLAYING A BIG GAME.
THE CENTRAL AND PLANT SYS
TEMS EYEING EACH OTHER.
Tbe Alabama Midland Heading for a
Western Connection Beyond Mont
gomery, and the Central Figuring
on a Short Line to New Orleans—
Both Systems Bidding for Southern
Alabama’s Traffic.
The railroad maps of Georgia and Ala
bama are somewhat of a chess board upon
which two great railroad systems are
watching each other, and a third system is
not a disinterested spectator.
The chess players are said to be the Plant
system and the Central, aud the last move
Plant, in opening the Alabama Mid
land, U confessedly a blow direct that has
been felt by the Central as no other
projected railroad enterprise ha.
An observing railroad man, who has been
watching tha maneuvers of the Central and
Mr. Plant, says that the latter cannot stop
at Montgomery. He makes no connections
there, but meets the Louisville and Nash
ville, which is on friendly terms with the
Central. The Cincinnati Southern has been
quite into the happy- family
of southern railroads with which the Cen
tral is in aliiatice, end tbe Alabama Mid
land, if it stoios at Montgomery, is bottled
up.
TO SEEK WESTERN CONNECTIONS.
It must reach out for western connections,
and it is not seeking them in the direction
of Birmingham, for it can hardly find them
there. Having invaded the territory of
the Central in Southern and Southeastern
Alabama it must push on to Centerville,
and it is said that the line is now being sur
veyed.
It is believed that the Plant system will
Droject tbe Alabama Midland westward to
connections that wifi enable it to take the
fruit of Florida aud the tropics west and
northwest.
The Central does not intend to surrender
southern Alabama without a struggle, and
when it moves it wifi strike back hard. It
will push on southwestwardly to a junction
with the Louisville and Nashville in the
vicinity of Pollard, Brew ton or Flomaton,
and with us friendly connections it will
shorten the line between New Orleans aud
Now York, cutting into the coast line
travel tending this way, and it is believed
that by friendly relations with tho South
Bound and its connections shortening the
distance from Savannah to New York will
show its displeasure at tha act of the Plaut
system la invading its Alabama territory.
THE CENTRAL’S MOVE.
This is the opinion of some observing
railroad men, although Mr. Plant keeps his
own counsels and doe3 not unveil his plans.
Gen. Alexander is out of the city and could
not be seen yesterday. It is known, how
ever, that he has all along favored the ex
tension through Houthsru Alabama, and he
is thought to be over there this week on the
Central’s lines.
It is believed that within the next two
yeans the Central will not only extend
westwardly to a junction with the Louisville
and Nashville at one of the points named
near the Florid i line, but it will also ex
tend its branches furtner south in Soutn
castern Alabama to drain that entire sec
tion whica would other wise bo t ributary to
the Alabama Midland, and with the Louis
ville and Nashville, the East Tonnesse,
Virginia and Georgia, the Cincinnati
Souluern, the Central aud its parent Ter
minal company in alliance the Plant sys
tem cannot afford to stop at Montgomery,but
must hurry to the westward, in order to
get out of tho woods.

PRETTY KATIE PUTNAM
The Attraction at the Theater To-night
and To-morrow Matinee and Night.
Katee Putnam will play “Honor Bound”
to-night and at to-morrow’s matinee at the
theater, and “Erma the Elf” to-morrow
night. Miss Putnam is a favorite in Sa
vannah, and she is sure to have good
audiences at every performance. Tbe
£®w \°rk Times says of Miss Putnam:
“Comparisons have been made between
Lotta and Miss Katie Putnam, the stir of
the past week at the Brooklyn Park theater,
and Miss Putnam has borne off the houors.
This charming actress displays rare intelli
gence in her conception o: the ‘Marchion
ess,’ and fairly loses her identity ia its
portrayal In action she is sprightly, and
ber pathos is electric in its influence upon
her auditors. It is pleasant to record that
the people of Brooklyn have fully endorsed
the enviable verdict recently pronounced
by the presi and public during her success
ful engagement. ”
Dr. Kelley’s Lecture To-night.
Rev. Dr. Benjamin Kefiey of Atlanta,
who bas recently made an extended tour of
Europe, wifi lecture to-night at the Catho
lic Library Hall on “Lourdes and Rome.”
He will give an historic sketch of both of
these interesting places, and will also give
a brief description of them from his per
sonal observation. Father Kefiey’s reputa
tion as an able and cultured lecturer will
doubtless attract a large audience. He ar
rived in Savannah yesterday from
Charleston, where he delivered a
St. Patrick’s Day oration bv
invitation of the Irish societies. The
Charleston press speaks in very compli
mentary term* of his panegyrio ou St.
Patrick! Father Keiley is the vicar gen
eral of the Catholic church for the northern
portion of Georgia, having come to the
rate from Wilmington, Del, with Bishop
Becker when he was installed in the Savaa
diocese. He has been a life-long frieud
of Bishop Becker, and is a brother of tne
Hon. W. D. Kefiey, wto was appointed by
President Cleveland as minister to Austria,
but did not fill the mission.
FISHING ABOUT OVER.
The Snapper Fishers Preparing to Re
turn North.
The fishing schooner Melinda Wood
arrived here yesterday morning from the
Snapper bonks. Capt. Latham reports
very rough weather during Saturday night
and Sunday, during which the little
schooner was oftentimes under water, the
wind blowing heavily from the northwest.
The Wood had a poor catch. The season is
now pretty well over, aud the fishermen
wifi soon bo returning north want The
schooner Belle of the Bay is out on her last
cruise for the winter. If she makes a good
catch of snapDers, she will return here and
ship them north. If not, she wifi sail direct
from the banks for New York, where she
will fit oat for rammer cruising.
RAIL AND CROSSTHS.
The boys had a grand St. Patrick’s day
fiarade on the Nacoochee Monday, and it
was so realistic that the passengers to the
number of sixty-two fell in line. Mike
Kelly was chief marshal and Gen. “Hi Hi”
Dixwell was the reviewing officer. The
general is known as a base ball enthusiast,
and witnessed every game played bv the
Bostons last season, although he had
to go to the Pacific coast to keep from
breaking his rec >rd. He is a stockholder
in the Boston Brotherhood Association, and
money is no object to him so he can be with
the Bostons and applaud the rgiod points.
He reviewed the parade on shinb >ard with
pride, and particularly complimented Ar
thur Irwin for being the most loyal son of
St. Patrick in the parade. The boys
turned their coats to serve as a
uniform, and Irwin’s was the only one
that had green fining. Broutfcers’ coat
lining wa3 red, and he was at o ice called
tho anarchist of the party, aud Daley came
very uear Long heaved overboard to the
whales, as his coat lining was a deep orange.
After tbe parade an imported bottle of Irish
whisky was discussed.
