The prob ability is, however, that the enumerators in some of the country districts, who have been rather slow In their work, will continue for a day or two longer before sending in their reports. Many of the country enumerators have already sent in their reports, and the others should all be In within the next few days. The reports of the city enumerators were handed in two weeks ago. So far as known these reports have r.ot yet been tabulated. It was stated at the census office yester day, however, that the city reports would be the first tabulated and sent on to Wash ington. This may be done this week Census Supervisor Blun will take their time In cnecking up the ebuntry reports and keeping a careful lookout for errors. There is no need for haste in this matter as they have another month In which to complete their work and get all reports in. Savannahians may possess their souls ir. patter." e. Inside of a month, and prob ably Inside of two weeks, they will know Just how much, or how little, the census of 1300 wih give them.

Health Officer Brunner made his report upon recent In spections of Hutchinson Island, the re port being directed more especially to the work of the Georgia Terminal Company. The exact nature of the report Is not known, but as the result of the meeting the health officer was instructed to notify the officers of the terminal company that all mud dredged up and thrown upon the island must be covered with sand and all standing water must be drained off. These are practically the same regula tions as were enforced last year and are understood to be satisfactory to the com pany. It was stated at the meeting on the authority of officers of the company that the dredging w-ork would be com pleted within the next thirty days. FELL THROUGH TWO STORIES, Probably Fatal Accident et Female Orphan Asylum. Little Ruth Boutet, an Inmate of the Savannah Female Orphan Asylum, fell from the second floor of the home to the hall below, a distance of probably twenty feet, last night, and striking on her face fractured her skull. Dr. George M. Norton and Dr. Duncan were called, and did all that could be done for the little girl, but as she was still unconscious up to a late hour, they were unable to say how serious her inju ries may prove to be. It is not known just how the accident ocucrred, but it is thought that In her eagerness to catch a glance of some of her friends who had just returned from the Fresh Air Home at Tybee the child lean ed over the banisters too far and lost her balance.

BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL SUB MIT A BUILDING PLAN. The Proposition Adopted After Con siderable Discussion by the Trus tee* of Chatham Academy —Mr. Clay Opposed the Reception of the Resolution From the Board of Education—A Motion by General Gordon to the Contrary Effect Was Carried—The Report of the Build ing Committee of the Trustee* Re ceived and Adopted. At a meeting of the board of trustees of Chatham Academy, held yesterday morn ing at the office of Coi. George A. Mer cer, it was decided to agree to the propo sition submitted by the Board of Educa tion and contained lri a resolution adopted at a meeting of that body day before yes terday. that the Board of Education be permitted to submit a plan for the rebuild ing of the academy for the consideration of the academy trustees. There was a full meeting of the mem bers of the trustees in the city, those pres ent being Capt. H. C. Cunningham, chair man; Gen. W. IV. Gordon, Col. George A. Mercer, Dr. William Duncan, Mr. George C. Freeman and Mr. William L Clay. The communication of the secretary of the Board of Education, Inclosing the res olution adopted by that body, was read and discussed at some length. There was some opposition to permitting the Board of Education to have anything to do with selecting the plans for rebuilding the acad emy. Mr. W. L. Clay lead in this oppo sition and submitted a motion that the resolution of the Board of Education be not received. Mr. Freeman was Inclined to agree with Mr. Clay, holding that the matter was one strictly within the prov ince of the trustee*. After considerable discussion a resolu tion by Gen. Gordon, that the resolution of the Board of Education be received and that the committee named in the resolu tion should proceed to select and submit plans for the rebuilding of the academy, was adopted. The committee named by the Board of Education for this purpose consists of Col. Mercer, chairman; Mr. Lee Roy Myers, Dr. T. J. Charlton, M. A. O’Byrne, Esq., and Supt. Ashmore. This committee, or some of its mem bers, at least, have already made con siderable study of plans lor rebuilding the academy, and It Is understood that two or three of the plans submitted on the call of the trustees meet with their approbation. The plan submitted by this committee will probably be one embody ing the maun features of plans heretofore submitted by Mr. H. W. Witcover, Mr. Percy Sugden and Mr. Goodrich of Au gusta. Besides discussing and agreeing lo the proposition of the Board of Education in reference to the submission of plans, the trustees received and adopted the report of their Building Committee. This re port deals with the efforts of the com mittee to secure a satisfactory plan for rebuilding the academy and one which would meet with the approval of the Board of Education. The report deals only briefly wlth’the failure to reach an agreement, and Is simply a plain state ment of the work of the committee, with out showing any feeling or making any criticism of the committee from the Board of Education. The report Is as follows; To the Trustees of Chatham Academy: The committee appointed by your body to prepare plans for rebuilding Chatham Academy respectfully report: That on the 13th day of January a com mittee was appointed to arrange to re build Chatham Academy, said committee being authorized to employ an architect to advise them as to the best course to be pursued in rebuilding the academy. The committee at once proceeded to carry out the resolution of the trustees, and select ed Mr. Henry Urban as the architect to aid them in their duties. On the 15th day of February, your committee submitted a report accompanied by plans for the re building of the academy. The plan pro vided for the removal of the exterior steps extending to the third story of the cen tral building which cut off some light and air and the building in lieu thereof, In terior steps on the northern side of the building, raising certain ceilings, putting floors on uniform level, improving ventila tion, adding additional window space for light and air and providing for the heat ing of the building by steam, hot water or hot air as might afterward be deter mined, extending the eastern line of the building about fifteen feet, and making such other general Improvements as would be possible. This plan further pro vided for fifteen class rooms, one teach ers' room and one janitors’ rooms on tast ern building; eleven class rooms and one supply room in central building, being sev en class rooms and one supply room In excess of the rooms in the old burnt building. In consequence of the action of the Board of Public Education suggesting a meeting of Ihe trustees of Chatham Academy with them to consider the re building of the academy, this report was received by the trustees and action there on suspended. A resolution was passed at that meeting adopting the suggestion of the Board of Public Education that a conference on the subject of rebuilding Chatham Academy be had between the trustees and Board of Education. A join* meeting was held of these two bodies at Chatham Academy on Feb. 26. 1900, at which Ihe rebuilding of the acad emy was discussed at length, and a com mittee was appointed by the Board of Public Education to confer with the trus tees of Chatham Academy as to replac ing *he destroyed part of the academy building with a modern structure. At this meeting the cost of other school buildings erected by the Board of Edu cation was considered as throwing light on the probable cost of replacing the burnt portion of Chatham Academy by a new building. It was explained at that meeting that the means of the trustees were limited. A popular subscription was suggested, but no one believed that sufficient response would be made, and some of the Board of Education thought that the public should not be asked to subscribe. The Board of Education was asked whether it could raise any money to assist In this matter, and It was gen erally agreed that no loan could be nego tiated based merely upon the contingency of appropriations to be hereafter made by the County Commissioners and grand Jury. The Board of Education frankly admitted that while they were willing to pay rentals If the county would provide sufficient money therefor, and that though they believed that the county would ap propriate a sufficient amount of money to enable them to pay an annual rental of $3,000 for a number of years, should the county fall to do so, while (hey would regret It, they would be unable tb meet such rental obligation. On March 2 Col. Estlll wrote a letter to Mr. Cunningham, stating that a com mittee, consisting of Messrs. Denmark,. Blun and himself, had been appointed a committee to confer with committee from trustees of Chatham Academy. On March 6 a meeting of the trqstees of Chatham Academy was held, and tho resolution of the Board of Education ap pointing the above-named committee was laid before said meeting, whereupon It was— Resolved. That Mosers. Cunningham, Clay and Freeman were deslgnaied to meet the committtee of liie Board of Ed ucation. On Wednesday, the 14th of March, a meeting ws held between the two com miiteee, and a report of the result of that meeetlng was reported In writing on Ihe 16th day of March. This report was eub mltted by one of your committee to Mr. r ~ ' Continued oo Tage Ug * CHANGES AT THE FOSTOFFICEk New Sckednle of Hours tn Gn Into Effect To-morrow. Some decided changes for the Increased accommodation of the patrons will be In augurated at the Savannah postoffice to morrow morning. No stamps will hereafter be sold at the general delivery windows. All stamps will be sold at ihe regular stamp window. The window will open at 8 o'clock in the morn ing, and will close at 8 o'clock in th even ing. From 8 o'clock In the morning until 2 o'clock In the afternoon stamps and pos tal supplies In large amounts should be obtained while the chief stamp clerk is In charge of the stamp division. Arrangements will also be made to re ceive mall for registration at the stamp window from 6 o clock In the evening, when the registry division closes its win dow, until 8 o clock. This will accommo date a number of persons who cannot well get to the office until the registry window closes. The new fiscal year for the postal de partment begins July 1, and the Increased business of the Savannah postoffice has justified the department in Increasing the clerical force, and the extended tsrowth of the city has prompted the de partment to assign another carrier to the service on Oct. L With anew and commodious public building, with an increased carrier and e’er cal force, and with the house system of r-gl3:ra lon and with two sub-stations In the city. Savannah's postal service ought (o ’-e more satisfactory than ever before, as It no doubt will be. Postmaster Doyle deserves credit for the Interest he has taken to promote the pos tal service of Savannah, and has espe cially sought to extend the delivery ser vice in the new residence sections that axe the outgrowth of the city extensions cast, west and south, and to bring to the notice of the p>eople the advantages of the system of registering letters at home with the letter carriers. A LOT AND A HOUSE. Chatham Real Estate Improvement Co.*# Big Sale* The Chatham Real Estate and Improve ment Company has determined to close out Us holdings in city lots, and to that end will 6ell them at auction Tuesday. July 10, at 6 p. m., on easy terms, and when the payments are sufficient to guarantee. It wiil lend the money necessary to build a house for the purchaser of a lot. The terms are probably the most liberal ever offered to home seekers, namely, S2O cash, and $2.50 per month, with 5 per cent, interest on the unpaid purchase money. This means practically that the buyer re ceives 5 per cent, interest per annum on every dollar paid in, from the time that he pays It until the last dollar is paid. The reputation of the Chatham Real Estate end Improvement Company, for fair dealing, and Its ability to carry out any promises it makes, are too well es tablished to require a newspaper’s In dorsement. The auction will begin at 6 P m., or a few minutes after, so as to afford those who work until that hour, an opportunity to buy a lot. Mr. C. H.

A Movement Started to Organise a Team From the Sea Girt Medal Winner*— Some of the Men Who Will Likely Go If the Plan Suc ceed*—Gen. Spencer Ha* Invited Savannah Marksmen to Sea Girt Bat They Will Not Go. A movement has been started to organ ize a rifle team to represent Georgia in the international contests which are to be a feature of th* Paris Exposition. Sev eral of the best local rifle shots are In terested. The plan is to start a subscription list at once. It is believed the business men will readily subscribe to a fund for the purpose, and the riflemen are confident that they could manage to get up enough money to defray the expenses of the trip. It is not proposed to ask for money with out giving some sort of a guarantee that it will be returned. This guarantee, how ever, will be one of confidence, consisting in the opinion of those asked to contrib ute may have of the prowess of the Sa vannah marksmen. Many very attractive money prizes have been offered by the Frenchmen, and no reason in the world, the Savannahians believe, why their team should not ch-rry off many of them. In the event the prizes are won, there will be the money to refund the amount ad vanced to render the trip possible. Mr. F. C. Wilson, Mr. C. S. Richmond, Capt. W. G. Austin, Col. George T. Cann, Capt. J. C. Postell and Mr. F- C. Batcey are named as the team of five and an al ternate who may represent Georgia if the present plan is carried out. Most, if not all, of these gentlemen have been re quested by Gen. Bird W. Spencer, presi dent of the New Jersey Rifle Association, to visit Sea Girt to take part in practice tiiet will determine five men who will go to Paris to represent the United States in the matches. All have declined, for Savannah wants no more of Sea Girt aiter the fiasco of,the last meet there. The meet of the best shots in the coun try, barring the Savannah cracks, will be held at Sea Girt, July 4-July 14. The na tional team will then be selected and will sail for Paris. The international matches will be shot during August. It would be a great thing and ample revenge on Gen. Spencer and the New Jersey Rifle Association, .a Savannah marksman said, if the team from Savan nah should go over and prove a winner. That is what he confidently anticipates If the trip should be taken. No difficulty InAhe way of the scheme presents itself to his view, and he is certain that the effor s of the soliciting committee will be crowned with success. Though the team as proposed consists entirely of Savannahians, it will yet rep resent Georgia, for it Is said there are no shots anywhere else in the state that can compare -with the best six here. The shooting at Sea Girt and the splendid re cords that have been made by Savannah marksmen prove that. The magnificent range here has afforded exceptional ad vantages for practice, and of these the en thusiasts have eagerly availed themselves. The opportunity offered for the adver tisement of Georgia and Savannah will scarcely fail to Influence business men who are approached by the committee of canvassers. Fame won by the team at Sea Girt has reached the confines of rhe United States, but to win the big matches at Paris would mean world-wide renown. This consideration will doubt less secure contributions. The meters of the range at which the marksmen will shoot, in Paris, when re duced to yards, mean easy work for Sa vannah 6hots. Something like 328 yards will be the range, and that is as good as could be asked. To add to the cer tainty of the thing, the marksmen de clare. the positions, standing, kneeling and lying down, make it impossible for them to miss at that range. An un broken succession of bullseyes could be made by some at that range if shooting lying down. The range and the positions seem to be the French style, for on this side riflemen have been accustomed to shooting farther and from more difficult attitudes. They feel equal to anything that others attempt, though, and it will be with the confidence of Savannahians that the marksmen take the trip. All of this is doubtful if any considerable sum would have to be raised on the outside. The arms to be used in the contests will be open sighted. The Springflelds that are used by the Savannah marksmen will serve. The open sight reservation removes the advantage that others might have through their sight devices. The 'lots In Collinsville to be sold on July 3. are on Waldburg, Duffy, Henry and Anderson streets; sale begins et five o'clock, corner Waldburg and Ott; sev eral nice forner lots, and 3 residences to be sold.
