TEN INNINGS TO DECIDE
TEE PHILLIES rLiY EWISO’3 GI
ANTS AN EVEN GAME.
A Tie Up to the Tenth Inning". When
New York's Heavy Hitting and Phil
adelphia's Errors Gave the Giants
Four Buns—l oth C.uhs Play a Pretty
Game—No Mere Games This Week—
The Phillies Off for Kichmond, and
the New Yorks to Follow Day After
To-morrow.
It requir.fi ten innings to decide the game
of bail between the New York and Phila
delphia teams yesterday, the New Y rk
giants winning by a score of 10 to 6. The
N w Yorks hit heavy in the last inning, and
the Philadelphia, helped them to run up the
score by errors. Had the Philadelphia i
- 1 upported Husted as the New Y i tiers
supp-rtel Ewing, the giants would have
been badly beaten by the blue leg-, f .rthey
excelled in batting and lost in poor infield -
iag. The Philadelphia elub played an up
hill game after the fir.t three inn.ng-, in
which the New YoHbs had fire scores to
their one, but they recovered themselves
and showed that they can piay ai well ia
the field as they did at the hat.
The footurtw of the game were the heavy
batting of Khannon, t ie throwing of M i.i
pn to second base and theexoellant Adding
of Pickett in right field. In t> e ninth in
ning lhokett retired the New Yorks by fly
catches, one ol which was a long, ru-.ni ig
enn-hand catch, which was cheered in the
grand stand until throats v ere h >arse.
When be came in, after the New Y tries
wore wnt out the applause was renewed,
and I’ickett acknowledged it by rs.j ng his
ca|i and making a modes: bow. Jlatii .d'
work at short was faul less, and ho made
half of the bits for the New Yorkers.
A TIE IN THE EIGHTH.
The score was tied in the eighth Inninr
by tho heavy hitting of Wood. Pickett. and
Shannon of the Philadelphia?, Suarmo
bringing in two runs by a two-bagger, a. i,
getting third on Farrar's sacrifi e Lit. stole
home in tho most audacious play, while tne
dai and catcher of the New Yorks held the
bail until it was too late, although standing
clos ito the batter. When Vaughn reejv
ered, Shannon dived inti the home plate
ami hud both hands on it, wkiie Vaughn
win feeling for his head. Tue crowd c :eer-.-d
wildly. This was the last run for :b
(/inkers, as the New Yoras piled up fur
runs in tho next in .ing, while nut a Paila
delpbian reached first.

liehmd the bat equally as well as he hold
down tbe first hi:: for his team, a-.d Hall

No more games of ball will be played
here this week, as the Philadelphia* and

The New Yorks exjxt-ote i to go to Charles

his mind yesterday afternoon and concluded
to remain b-re for practice to-day and t>-

“Buck” Ewing, captain of the New Yorks,
said be received several congratulatory tele
grams from Now York over the result of
the suit of the league against him. Amor.
those telegraphing their congratulation's
were the postmaster of Now York a-M the
president of the stexik exchange. Mr. Ewing
says no other decision was expected by hum
and the courts of Pennsylvania and New
York have settled th-: matter lor all time.
The brotherhood has won in every instance*
Mr. Ewing says the southern trip of the
Br- oklyns and Philadclphias has not been
a financial success, but he rays the New
York club has earned its expenses he. o and
liad two weeks' practice, which is as well as
they expected to do. There is a base b ;i
enthusiasm here which the Pmlad-lpbii
and Brooklyn clubs had better have taken
advantage of, the boys think, bit on the
whole they have enjoyed their southern
tour, and all of them are delighted with
Savannah.

THE BILBO CANAL.
■
The Council Decides to Build a Sewer
Along Its Banka
The commit'e: of the whole of tbs city
council wa* in session yesterday discus I z
the Bilbo canal, ani aeti -n was ta.: ?a io st
ing to making it a c'. eod sjwer. Th. ac
t nis iaspi.-l by th - is:.g-r : s .n.'
lof the • eu i anal in w hich the fa*>*l -a t .-r
is expose 1 and is a constant menace to tne
heai'.n of the city.
The fact that the matter is air-aiy
being emptied into the river wax sug
gested, to show that it is not aay
inore objectionableto deposit it in the river
fr in a closed rewer than by open can .1, as
the house drait.aga system is not likely to
be inaugurated soon to take the fa-cal
mat: - - to the proposed outlet further down
the river.
At toe ms-ting yesterday a re-solution
t y Alderman Cano was adopted, in- ract
ingCity Eogineer H'ita to submit the plans
and specifications for a closed brick sewer
along the w-.-stera bank of the
B:ibo canal from its junction witu
t-e Bolton street sewer to the poiut of du
cuarge at the Ciavaui.ah river, and the cierk
uftbecou'c.i was instructed to advertise
for bids for toe excavation under t:.e speci
fication*. t,e excavation to be done within
thirty da. s from the ietti.ug of the contract.
Th* object of fixing the short time is to
ha - e the excavation completed bef re the
w arm weather set* in, a id this contemplates
putting on a very heavy force to dj tue
work rapidly.
In tbe general disc tssion which followed
it was dev-.! ted that the city can be ready
to inaugurate the work by April 10 or 15.
Tbe city engineer, in his estimate-, pre
setted to co .tic.i Wed a e-stay night of last
week, placed the approximate - cstof the
sewer at tSS.teu, and that it would require
about four tttta to complete ih
Tne act/on cf c uucii seems to indicate
that the house drainage matter has been
i. wpoatponed. and that the present
system of sewerage, wuth tbe change pro
poseJ to Bubo -lanai, is to continue
i tie open canal is to be retained for drain
ing tbe storm water of the eastern section of
the City.

Why Property South of Anderson
btio'jt > anuot Be -axed.
It ha* leeked out that the city c mucil in
caucus has learnel through ai inf irm and
opinion of City Attorney Ada-as that it
need have n / uppreheasiou as to t ie right
of tbe ’legislature to exempt from t ixstxon
oil that property in tiie extended limits of
the city south of Andersm street under the
law in vrhicn the city was given jurisdic
tion over i .
Toe matter came up sugge ted by tho
question widch aro-e m ti what legal
grounds, if any. would justify tarpaje-s
too refuse to pay their tax-s in any
pa-t of tbe city north of Ander
son street becansi property south cf
that street has not been asse* ** i for tax
ation, and because it was . uegested ty some
cue that tax,-; should bo paid u-ider protest,
a* the supremo court bail decided in lio
Weeii c.'ie that all property not exempted
by the constitution should be as-essid for
taxation.
It is understood that it i? the opinion of
the city attorney thut the power is dele
gated to the legislature by the c institution
t-i extend the juris lictio al limits of the
city, and limit it* taxable area a* it did in
the law ext-.- ding the juri-dictioiml limits
of the city south of Andorsoi street, and
that no taxes can be assessed ttpjn tho prop

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 28. 1890.
THE S. T. A. INSURANCE CO.
It Will Probably be Inaugurated at the
Atlanta Convention.
The Savannah branch of tbe Southern
Traveler*' Association will meet to-morrow
I eight and the •election of de.egibw to the
.-.Uinta convention will come up. Tiie
membership of tbe brancu has been steadily
increasing until the roll includes neariv all
f the prominent merchants of the city and
almost every t'avelmg man wiio jn out
fr m 'avannah.
ihe branch! headquarter*, c mmonly
known as the traveler*’ erc..ajge, is becom
ing m re pup liar every day, ar.d nan -<iez
voas for a.l tte traveling men 'bo visit
Savannah. They fin! ;; most Conveniently
located to spend in ,r leisure moment* i:i
alendicg to t aeir corresp. .hence. A great
many nave their mml sent in ear- the trav
elers’ exchar.jre. One of the offic-ais of the
branch -ail list night that it is now be
ginning to serve ti.e purpose for which
it was established, and it will s > n be one
of tne e.ty's e ta.._ished institutions. The
members are taking a iiveiy interest in tbe
comi.g convention® on May 5. The
importance of the insurance
euture, to bediscussed there,
is beaming to assume proportions that will
in-are for association tue e-.ee ss teat
it hopes for. “Toe Savannah branch,” he
aide! “ha* been all airng prominently
identified with the association’s success,
an i tbe activity disp.uyed by the branch
hav not been equaled bv any of her sister
branches.”
This entities Savannah, he sail, to the
headquarters for booth.r year, out it will
no doubt meet wr h much opposition from
the other branches, particularly Atlanta,
which hopes to secure the plum. Whatever
concession, be said, have been received
have been mainly through the efforts of the
Savannah branch, and tae standing of the
association is based to a great extent upon
the work done here. The members of the
riavaur,aa branch look with pride to their
home, widen is now k on throughout the
south. Oiner citie; are .g to imi
tate the example set lbo:u, particularly
I>w Orleans, which is making a grea.
effort to establish the same kind of an ex
change, Nowhere, however, is more ac
tivity displayed than in this city in such
ma’ters.
The recent election of Mr. F.
X. Doug] .ss secretary of tbe asso
ciation, the official said, is meet
ing with general favor. He will probably
be manager of the insurance feature to be
inaugurated. The names of Mr. H. M.
Comer aDd of Maj. J. F. liai son of Mac jo,
are either acceeptabie, bo said, to Savan
nah branch for presi lent, both are well
qualified for the presidency of tie
insurance feature under the auspice*
of the association. There is no
reason why toe Southern Travelers'
Association, cannot establish its own com
pany and realize the benefits that seem to
have been secured by other insurance com
panies. Other organizations in the west
and north west are equally as successful in
this regard, only upon a smaller scale, and
all of the a make great efforts to secure and
retain the business in the south.
Other members claim :hat with the nom
inal charge of say $1(1 per name, the com
pany could pay large dividends u> its policy
n .1 dors, providing the association is run on
' purely mutual basis and the surplus dis
tn uted among i:s members.
CAUGHT IN THI CORSIDOR3.
General Manager O’Brien of the Southern
Expre-s Company arrived at the Do Soto
last night from a week’s tour through
Florida. He accompanied President Huey
of tbe Adams Express Company and parly.
Mr. Huey’s party consisted of himself an 1
wife, Cbas. R. Hone of Brown Bros. lb
Cos., New York, Mrs. Hon*, Frederick
H yj, General Auditor C. P. Diefendorf of
the Adams Express Company, IVm. Pen
ninger of the New York Herald and J. N.
Mora. Mr. Mora -topped over hero with
General Manager O’Brien.
The party trav ed in private ears, visit
ing St. Augustine, Winter Park, Port
Tampa and many other places. Mr. O’Brien
sit.d that the party was very anxious to
6trip| over here, jbut Mr. Hoey’s engage
ments north would not admit of it.
The • party was delighted with Florida.
The remarkable aivaaceinent since Mr.
Hoey was there some years ago excited
their admiration, and it was the wish of
many of the party that they might remain
longer.
Mr. O’Brien has seen a good deal w ithin
the lost few weeks. He toured Florida
with tue Plant party, the Harrison part-.-,
the Morton parly, and several others. He
is about as well posted about Georgia a id
Florida as aiy man, and the states are
fortunate whenever he is n a party which
has never been here before. The most
candid expression of opinion about the
soutn that he has heard, is that
of Vice President Morton ia his
little a.l Iress to ihe citize is of
Jacksonville. Mr. O'Brien will leave to
day for Jacksonville, thence to St. Aug is
tine, and Saturday ho leaves for Port
Tampa to rejoin Mr. Plant. Florida, ho
said, is full of tourist; now. They come
and go, a.id the number in tho state re
mains about the some all the time. The
trains going down are crowded, as well as
those coming north. Tr.is season has sur
passed any seaso ; in the history of the south
as a “tourist season.”
General Alanagor O’Brien of the Southern
Fix ore-. Company received the following
dispatch from Mr. Plant la-.t night: “Fort
Tampa—Two fish caught from wharf at
Port Tampa to- lay w ith hook and line. One
measured six foot tea inc es in length,
species unknown; the other, a jyfish
weighing 848 pounds. Both now on exhi

AN ALDKBM AN RISEB TO SP2AK.
The Historical ?Meof the Ground Rent
Question.
FSilor Horning Stirs: I rise to make
son-e r tr-arks on the ground rent qurS'im.
1 bej v i*! be largely of an historical turn
an 1 will be rot without interest, particu
‘-r.y to toe “csci jc” Capt. Guerard and
ex-AIL-rm n Pur? -, the same Capt. Purse
w ho, at the recent meeting where Capt
Guerard was so “caustic,” was in favor of
raising SS,<XW to fight the city. Indeed, I
would not be snrpr sed if some ct the re
cent hearers cf ether ex-a'dermen will find
tue facts about to he stated worth their
atreat ve perusal and .me resulting
oogitation.
By turning to the mina'es ot the meeting
r f c-'Bnc:; hei! April 3,]b73 (minutes which
are subject to he inspection of any citizen),
I find that Alderman Pur e offer da re -
!uti m, of which the foil.wing is an exact
c t>v:
Wsnas, Grave doubts exist es to the right
of th -city authorities, under the pr* j nl con
ssivoticn of the state, to I nzer refrain fr ; a
tasr gth s- . take ova as ground rent lots,
aeretoiore not tax and.
A>n whuiusas, Further, the failure to place
upon these tots the same assessments and liur
tliens for the maintenance of toe city govern
rnept as are imposed upon other Ills in the city,
and, as ore expressly provided in t e cry's
deed* conveying them, will be nvjus*, and very
probably embarrass the city in providing reve
nue fur its support and the payment of its debt,
Asn W axiiiAS. further, in the ores -nt neces
sity for extreme taxation, juiiice alike to the
tixpayers and vh' creditors req-n, et that it ba
equally and equitably distributed upon every
class ot property not exempted bv state iaw, or
chartered or vested rirhts: therefore bs it
Res.ivrd, That the board of city assessors, in
accordance with section 1? of the crdinaaco for
raising revenue, etc., passed in council Dec. 20,
i'CT.b and they are hereby instructed to \ lac • a
value upon the lots commonly known as ,-round
rent lots, according to actual market value as
planed upon other real estate in the city subject
to taxation, keeping in vi.-w, however, theefT*-ct
up n this value by reason of the burden now
placed upon them, and from which they have
heretofore been exempt.
The sama minutes also show that Alder
man Johnston offered an amendment to the
effect that the lots b - taxed to the extent
of a one-fifth interest only, but that this
amendment was defeated and the Purse
resolution was adopted by a vote of G to 3.
Ihe aldermen at this meeting apparently
split upon the extent of the taxation, six
out of ni e favoring, however, the taxation
of these lots at their full value.
This same official record also shows that
at the meeting of May 29, 1878, when the
ordinance which proposed to tax these lots
as other property came up on its passage, it
has pass I by a vote of 9 to 2; that Alder
man Purse called for the yeas and nays (toe
alderman seemed determined to make a
record), with the following result: Yeas,
Aldermen Purse, Rowland, Freeman,
Hamilton, Duncan, Hamlet, R-_d.lv, Vfil
link, and Lovell. Nays, Aldermen J hn
ston and Waring. All the aldermen were
present and voting except oaa
In your local columns of April 4,1878, the
proceedings of the previous eversing are re
ported, and in tko notice of the ground rent
matter the following quotation i3 given
from Alderman Purse's remarks:
“In the recent conference of ciuncil with
prominent members of the bar, the e had
beea a thorough discussion of thi3 matter,
and the opinion H as genetaliv endorsed that
the city had the right to so tax this prop
erty,'’ (in the manner proposed ia his reso
lution). “There were some contrary views,
but the best legal talent of the city had t een
invoked, and this action was ia the main
sustained.”
The inquiry becomes pertinent, to what
conference did Capt. Purso refer* What
“prominent lawyers” were present and
vrfcat was the advice of the "best legal
talent in the city” on the point toe discus
sion of which now makes “plain-spoken”
C ,pt. Guerard so extremely “caustic” and
tmts Capt. Purse on the warpath for large
“sinews of war!” I find that on March 20,
1878, just five days before Capt. Purse in
troduced his resolution, there was a con
ference held at which there was a
thorough disuc sion of tbi3 matter. I get
my date from the letter of one of the attor
neys now on file in the office of the clerk of
council. This attorney thuught he would
bo able to be present only fra few minute?,
and, therefore, wrote a" letter embodying
his opinion. The attorneys who met coun
cil for the purpose of advising them as to
whether these lots wore taxable were the
then corporation attorney, Maj. Basinger,
and Messrs. Lawton, Gurnard (the
same revere Capt. Guerard who
now, in discussing this m-itter
scorns “euphemism”), Mercer, Samsv,
Garrard and Richards. These able lawyers
came to advise council about a very im
portant matter, in which chore was in
volved a large amount of money, and it
which a good many of their fellow-citizens
felt, a keen, personal interest. It wa3 to be
presumed (their character and reputation,
forbid any other t ought) that any opinion
they might express wa< well-considered aud
duly weighed after a full investigation of
all the facts, including such mayor's reports
as were in t heir posse-sion.
They kne.v thatjth 1 (practical question
before council was whether they sh mid tax
these lots; that, if they were taxable, the
council, under the constitution of the slate,
was obliged to tax them, having no alter
native, and that, therefore, the advice that
they were taxable necessarily meant that
council must tax them. At this conference
the corporation attorney, Maj. Basinger,
and Messrs. Guerard, Mercer, Garrard and
Richards, five representatives “of the bust
legal talent in the city,” advised th it
the 39 lots were subject to city tax
ation. Gan. .Lawton would not express
any legal opinion, as he had not sufficiently
considered the matter, bat staled that his
decided imprest m was that the Lts were
not exempt. Mr. Saus.y (he being alone in
this opinion) expressed “the contrary
views” referred to in A1 lerman Pur o’s re
marks; but the alderman thought never
theless that the action which lie proposed to
council was “in the main sustained”—this
action bring to tax these lots at their
full value, bearing in mind only
that their value would be depreciated
(as is the case with every form of pr : party)
by the new burden of taxation. The f .cts
as to the conference, the lawyers present
and the advice given can bo proven by a
number of “living witnesses” and are fully
borne out by the action of council,
taken i.i pursuance of this advice,
a few days afterwards. I will no*
new venture an opinion as to why
the action was not carried out, nor is this
relevant to tue purpose of this communica
tion. Tho fact is that the resolution was
never rescinded, aud the orchuancs was
never repealed. It seems that Capt.
Guerard afterward paid some taws on his
ground-rent property. I suppose he felt
bound to pay, aud fur this reas >a paid. It
is not likely that the captain meant to ru i
his band in Ins pocket aud give the citv
money as a present. Be simply “practiced
hat ho preached,” and showed his "faith
by bis works,” showing it iu tho most em
phatic way.
I do not object to a lawyer changing his
mind. This is quite allowable, iiu' it is
not usual for a law or (it s ireiy ought not to
be) t > denounce a ciieiu us a s.vmdlorfor
taking his advice. This maybe “caustic,”
but it is hardly consistent or hoc main -, In
deed, in expressing his change of mind, and
bis rousequ oit disagreement, with the client,
n t ing can bj more becoming to the law
yer than a very liberal use of 'the figure of
• euphemism.’’ An Aldehmax.
