CHANGES IN LIMITS
WlL.Ii BE DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL
TO-MORROW NIGHT.
CAPT. BLUN’S OBJECTIONS.
TO INCLUDING HIS SPRINGFIELD
PROPERTY.
Major Ryals Will Present 111- Case
Before the Council—Mr. W. W.
Gordon, Jr.'i Petition to Exclude
the Cnyler Property En*t of the
City From the Proposed Extend
ed Incorporation—Mayor Myers
Soya the Council Is Ready to Hear
From All Property Owner* Affect
ed by Proposed Extension ol Lim
its.
Capt. Henry Blun called on Mayor
Myers yesterday at the City Exchange
in reference to the meeting with Coun
cil advised by the Chatham represen
tatives and Senator Cann. for the
property owners objecting to the ex
tension of the city limits contemplated
in the resolution passed some weeks
ago. Capt. Blun has a large place
which was formerly a portion of the
Springfield plantation, west of the
city, and he objects to its incorpora
tion unless the bona fide plan of the
elty should be extended over it.
Mayor Myers told Capt. Blun that
Council would very gladly hear him
and any other property owners at the
meeting to-morrow night. Maj. (J. M.
Ryals will appear with Capt. Blun
then, and it is quite possible that other
property owners may appear. Maj.
Ryals wants his place, which is used
solely for agricultural purposes, ex
cluded from the city limits. It has
been a part of the city since 1854, but
Maj. Ryals offers arguments to show
that it should not be incorporated. He
says the Legislature has Just as much
right to draw in the lines of the city
as to push them outward.
Mr. W. W. Gordon. Jr., attorney for
the estate of John M. Cuyler, has filed
a petition requesting that a tract of
fifty-four acres, at the intersection of
Waters road and Bee road, the incor
poration of which is contemplated, be
left out. He asks that the plan be so
changed as to not Include the tract, as
it is used only for agricultural purposes
and is not at present adaptable as city
property.
Save for the appearance of the ob
jecting property owners, the meeting
of Council does not promise much of
interest Unless new business or new
measures are Introduced, It seems
probable that there will not be very
much to demand the attention of the
board.
MARKETS ARE BOOMING.
Prices of Grain and Other N'eoesea
ries on the Advance.
The price of about everything except
King Cotton is humping in the local
markets. During the past few days
grain has climbed upward until white
com in job lots is 88 cents, and in cars
85 cents, and mixed corn in job lots.
87 cents, and cats 84 cents. Oats are
also on the rise, No. 2 now being 56V4
cents in cars, and 58V4 cents in job lot3,
and white clipped, 63 cents in cars, and
64V4 cents in job lots. Eggs are 22
cents at wholesale, and retailing about
town for a quarter per dozen.
About the sharpest advance is in
Irish potatoes, which are now selling
at <3 per bushel, with the supply lim
ited. One firm received a letter from
New York yesterday stating that the
market for potatoes had been Jumping
from 10 to 15 cents per bushel daily
for the past few Jays, and that the
supply is apparently unequal to the
demand. Potatoes are being imported
from Germany right along, hut this
does not seem to relieve the large de
mand. The short crop threatens to rut
the price to dizzy hights before the
top is reached, unless the demand les
sens or Imports materially Increase.
Worst of all for many folks Is the
rise in apples, which is In proportion
to the advances In other things. They
are selling at $4.75 to $5 per barrel. The
approach of the holidays make the de
mand good, so that the price is not
apt to yield any unless the supply is
very large. Butter is also strong.
While these things have risen other
necessaries of life have dropped some.
Meats are about the same, and game
is cheaper, if anything. A butcher in
the market said yesterday that he was
selling the finest of summer ducks
cheaper than ever before to his knowl
edge. A fine pair may be had for 60
to 70c. When properly prepared these
make a very daipty meal, and are
largely used by Savannah housekeep
,
FOR A NEW CEMETERY.
The City Connell Invites Offers of
Suitable Tracts.
The City Council is advertising for

TO CAUCUS ON BILL.
Administration Force* Will Gel To
gether on Election Measnre.
A caucus of the active supporters of
the Citizens’ Club, or administration
faction, will be held to-night for the
purpose of discussing tihe bill providing
that the election of city officers be
placed in the hands of the incoming
board. A majority of the aldermen
have been Invited to the caucus.
The list of those invited contains the
names of those who have attended the
administration caucuses in the past,
and with only one or two exceptions,
have any new faces been Invited. It
is the purpose of the caucus to discuss
the advisability of changing the law
for the election, and appointing, of city
officers. There appears to be no doubt
but that the majority of those who at
tend the caucus will decide in favor of
the bill for the Incoming board to elect.
Several prominent members of the
municipality who are opposed to the
measure, but who have been invited to
be present, have expressed an inabili
ty to attend the caucus, but will ad
dress letters setting forth their views.
These letters will be read at the meet
ing and the subject will be gone over
thoroughly. One of the advocates of
the bill stated that not only will a
majority of the active supporters of the
administration faction favor the
change in the election law. but that no
serious opposition will be made by any
one.
If as is expected the bill is endorsed
at the caucus it will be introduced by
Representative Harden, and this ap
pears to be a foregone conclusion. It
is claimed by the advocates of the
measure that the conservative element
has never been In favor of the present
law, and that as a matter of fact It
is all wrong. Several city officials,
who are certain of being re-elected by
the present Council, without opposition,
are In favor of the measure.
WILL~GO tVcHARLESTON.
Prises Offered to Add to the Inter
est of tlie Conipnnle*.
The companies of the First Infantry
will go to Charleston on Feb. 22. This
plan has already been laid, and an in
centive has been given the companies
to carefully prepare for the trip.
After drill last night, when the com
panies were drawn up in the yard of
the armory, Lieut. Col. G. A. Gordon
announced that he and Col. T. S.
Wylly, Jr., had consulted about the
matter and had determined to offer
two prizes for the companies. One will
be S2O, to go to the company making
the best showing on the trip, while
the other kill be $lO, to be awarded to
the company that, in the opinion of the
officers, may show the greatest im
provement between this and the time
for the trip.
It is quite possible that other com
mands will decide to take the Charles
ton trip. An invitation has been ex
tended the Savannah companies, and
considerable Interest has been aroused.
The exposition will be in progress then,
and that will fufinish an attraction
that will doubtless serve to swell the
ranks.

HOW THE TROOPS ARE TO FIGHT
ON THANKSGIVING DAY.

Charge Again, Taking Hie Breast
work* noil Driving the Enemy.
The sham battle at Harmon’s Range,
east of The Meadows, Thanksgiving
Day, if the many expressions of inter
est that have been heard count, will be
witnessed by many spectators. The
field of battle is such as to be visible
in its entirety from almost any stand
upon the street railway line where it
skirts the tract. The higher ground of
The Meadows, too, will afford a good
view, amd it is expected that knots ot
spectators will be seen here and there,
watching the unusual sight.
For the first time in the history of
the State Troops in Savannah, oppor
tunity will be afforded the several
commands to participate in a sham
battle, and, as naturally follows, the
people interested in military will have
their first chance to see the soldiers
gain practice in the battje exercises
under the fire of blank cartridges.
Much of interest is promised by the
programme as it has been mapped out
by Lieut. Col. G. A. Gordon and the
other officers who have shown the
leading concern for the success of thp
undertaking. Not the infantry alone
will take part, for both the Chatham
Artillery and the Naval Militia will be
represented.
Posted behind the old earthworks will
be a detachment from the Chatham
Artillery, commanded by Lieut, A. D.
Krenson. and a detachment from the
Naval Militia, commanded by Lieut.
Carter. The artillerymen will seek to
repel the attacking force with a Gat
ling gun, while the Naval Militia will
carry their Hotchkiss gun Into action.
Two companies of the First Infantry,
yet to be detailed, and a detachment
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards will
lie entrenched for the support of the
guns.
Four companies of the First Infantry
will attack the position. The pro
gramme is for the four commands to
charge the breastworks, be repulsed,
retreat, re-form and charge again—this
time successfully. The position will be
taken, and the battle will be over.
Lipon the closing of the sanguinary
contest, the First Regiment Band will
be heard. The band has volunteered
its services, and will be on the battle
field. The march of the commands
back to the city will be tef the inspiring
strains of the excellent organization.
Last night the companies of the First
Infantry practiced in the battle exer
cises on the Military Parade Ground.
The brilliant moonlight served well to
facilitate the drill, end the instruction
was valuable to the men. It is be
lieved that they will make a creditable
showing on Thursday.
After the drill the troops were as
sembled in the yard at the Regiment
al Armory, where they were address
ed by Col. Gordon, who informed them
why Thanksgiving day had been se
lected as the time for the sham battle
and reminded them that it Is the duty
of soldiers to obey orders. Orders
have been issued the commands to
participate in the sham battie, and it
is believed there will be a creditable
representation from each company to
respond. Some of the members had
made engagements long in advance,
but they are now inclined, in a num
ber of cases, to regret this, as the im
pression prevails generally that a good
time is in store for all who appear
with their companies. In addition to
the sport of the battle, there will be
refreshments served by the companies
upon the return to the armory.
The assembly of the commands will
be late enough to admit of all members
enjoying their Thanksgiving dinners
before appearing for duty. It was
feared that this would not be the case.
In fact, the hour named in the orders
for the assembly was afterwards con
cluded to be too early, and it has been
changed. The calls for formation for
the First Infantry will be as follows:
First call, 2:45 p. m.; assembly, 2:55 p.
m.. and adjutant's call, 3:15 p. in.
As each battalion of the First In
fantry is formed, it will take up the
march for Harmon's Range. Blank am
munition will be supplied by the regi
mental qua.rternraster, and every pre
caution will be taken to guard against
accident. The field uniform will be
worn. Field and staff officers will be
mounted.
FIRST TRIP ABOUrDEC. 10.
City of Savannah 'Will Then Go on
the Savannah Line.
The city of Savannah, as the steam
ship La Grande Duchesse has been re
named, will be placed upon the Sa
vannah line about Dec. 1. President
John M. Egan of the Ocean Steamship
Company said yesterday that he thinks
the ship will be turned over to the
.company by the builders, with all
changes and renovations complete as
ordered, in time to adthit of her mak
ing the trip from New York to Savan
nah by the date mentioned.
The alterations In the interior of the
City of Savannah. Mr. Egan said, will
cost his company between $35,000 and
$40,000. He saw the ship a. few days
ago, when he was at Chester, Pa., anl
was very well pleased wjth the progress
that was shown. He believes she will
prove a very satisfactory addition to
the fleet of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany.

THIRTY-TWO LOTS SOLD.
Purchasers Got Garaiuell Property
at Reasonable Figure*.
Thirty-two building lots in the Gam
meli tract were sold at auction yester
day by John L. Archer. About sixty
four more are yet to be sold.
The lots sold yesterday are on Bolton
and Waldburg streets, east of Price,
and were considered specially attrac
tive to home seekers. The sale was at
tended by a good crowd, but the prices
which the property brought did not
suit Auctioneer Archer altogether, and
in his opinon those who were wise
enough to purchase obtained bargains.
The lots were sold on the easy pay
ment plan, and while those on Bolton
street brought more money', they were
purchased by one buyer, and evidently
for the purpose of speculation. The
Waldburg street lots did not bring
quite as much money, but appeared to
be the favorite location for those whose
purpose it is to build. The southeast
ern section of the city is building up
rapidly, and the Gammell tract is the
only vacant property left In the old
•city limits. The disagreeable weather
probably had something to do with the
size of the crowd and a real estate
man who attended the sale stated that
in his opinion the property would have
brought much more money if sold in
the spring.
Eight lots on the north side of Bolton
street were knocked down to George
H. Miller at SB7O each. The bidder had
the right to take one or the block of
lots and Mr. Miller was so well pleased
with his purchase that he took all eight.
The same thing happened on the
south side of the street when fight
other lots were placed under the ham
mer. Mr. Miller bid SI,OOO for an in
side lot, and decided to take the block
at the same figure.
Eight lots on the south side of
Waldburg street were sold next, and
the bidding was a little more spirited
There are already—tnT~ftrts-suTer. from
Habersham to East Broad, several
handsome dwellings. Lot No. the
inside lot. was sold to C. A. Vetter for
$915. The adjoining lot. No. ’I, was
purchased by C. S. Moore at he same
figure. Lot No. 13 was knocked down
to Arthur M. Lucas, Jr., for $905. The
remaining five lots of the blorks were
sold to Ford Kracken a' SBSS each. The
purchaser bid on one' in*, but W-ided
to take all five after the sale had 1 oen
made.
On the north side of the street C. S.
Moore bid in the first lot at $905. and
decided to take two .it that price. The
third lot was sold to \V. 11. Gray, for
ssso. The next tot was knocked down
to G. H. Miller, for *.<530. and he deemed
it wise to take all five at that figure.
A block pf eight lots on Bolton street,
a half block west of the Gammell
tract, was sold last spring by Add*’
tii nerr Dorsett for from $1,400 to $2.-
200 each.
Yesterday was the first attempt at
an auction sale it this season of the
year, indicating thai the season is not
a profitable one from the seller’s point
of view, in the face of the different!**
in the figures obtained for tots in tnq
same locality.
FOR BASE BALL PRESIDENCY.
Savannah Man to he Nominated for
Head of Southeastern League.
The organization meeting of the
Southeastern Baseball League will be
held Dec. 10, either In Charleston or
Columbia, S. C. It' is probable that
Charleston will be selected, as the In
terstate and West Indian Exposition
will be in progress there at the time,
for the meeting? and there will
be attractions of other sorts than the
business of the meeting to draw the
delegates.
An effort will be miade to have some
Savannah man elected president of the
league. This will be the largest and
most important city of the league and
it is generally felt., by baseball enthu
siasts here that Savannah is entitled
to the honor of the presidency. The
man whom the Savannah delegates will
nominate has not yet been definitely
agreed upon, but an effort will be made
to have someone who will be person
ally acceptable and agreeable to the
delegates from other cities.
There is no doubt about the Savan
nah club. It will be on hand when the
season opens and Mr. Dan J. Charlton
said yesterday that it would be a good
one. The effort will be to place a club
in Savannah that will capture the
pennant and those behind the move
ment do not fear failure. They will
have the team, no matter what it
costs.
Mr. Charlton and Mr. John J. Horri
gan, who are the present moving spir
its in the enterprise, expect to asso
ciate with them some three of four
others. They ate going to get the right
sort of men. men in whom the people
of the city have confidence and whose
standing will guarantee clean baseball
and an earnest and determined effort
to win the pennant. Mr. Charlton said
he had no doubt that the enterprise
would receive the support of the peo
ple of the city and that it was the
purpose of himself and his associates
to give those who attend the games
and back the Savannah team the full
worth of their money.

POLICE SENSATION
OFFICER COFFEE’S TALK OF AL
LEGED MURDER.
INVOLVES CITY DETECTIVES.
MENTIONED TRAGIC DEATH OF
AUGUST HEILEGENBERG.
Detectives Stark and Wall Charged
With Incompetency and Obtain
ing Money Under False Pretenses.
Alleged to Have Gotten $S From
Assistant Postmaster Waring
That Should Have Gone to Coffee.
Detectives Say They Will Be Ex
onerated by Sn perintendent and
Report Book—ln Reporting the
Case to Supt. Reilly Coffee Recall
ed the Death of Hellegenberg In
ISUK-Hlh Language Caused Aston
ishment and Mayor Was Asked to
In vestigate.
What promises to be a sensational
double investigation will be held by
Mayor Myers at the City Exchange at
noon to-day, when Mounted Patrolman
E. J. Coffee amd Detectives Julius Stark
and Frank Wail will be before the
Mayor. The sensation is expected in
the Coffee investigation.
Coffee told Supt. Reilly that every
thing had not been made public con
cerning the tragic death of August H.
Heilegenberg, a well known German
citizen, on the early morning of Aug.
16. 1898. The patrolman had been told
certain things about the tragedy that
the superintendent thought the Mayor
ought to known Although Heilegenberg
was found dead on the street over
three years ago, Supt. Reilly decided
that if there is any clue to his slay
ers the matter should be investigated,
and move particularly when the names
of persons in the police department had
been mentioned in connection with the
killing.
The superintendent reported the
matter to the Mayor, an<% an investiga
tion vas ordered at once. Although
the hearing will be a most unusual one
Mayor Myers has decided to stand by
his policy of investigating police de
partment cases privately.
In the caucus room the patrolman
will review the stories he has heard in
connection with Heilegenberg’s death,
and promises to refer the Mayor to
certain perrons, who are reported, ac
cording to Coffee's statement to the
superintendent, to know something of
thp tragedy that will be in accord with
the theory at the time it occurred.
Detectives Stark and. Wall are
not personsonally interested in
the investigation of Patrolman
Coff-e's story in the Hellegenberg case.
The detectives are chained with in
eompeten.y and obtaining money un
der false pretenses. Patrolman Cof
fee and Assistant Postmaster P. A.
Waring will appear as witnesses
against them. It is alleged that the
two officers obtained $5 from Mr. War
ing that should have gone to Coffee.
The detectives say they do not fear the
investigation, and can not only prove
by the report book at headquarters,
but by Superintendent Reilly himself,
that they acted in good faith in the
matter.
Detective Stark says that some
clothing had been recovered by himself
and brother detectives for Mr, War
ing. and that in Police Court Mr.
Waring offered him $5. The detective
replied that he would have to give
him the money in the superintendent's
office, and left the court room, it being
a rule in the department that all re
wards must pass through the hands
of the head of the department. Ac
cording to the detective Mr. Waring
forgot, or neglected, to go across the
building and pay the reward.
Later Patrolman Coffee sent a bi
cycle that he had found to police head
quarters and the detectives went over
the report book in an effort to identify
it. They found that the bicycle had
been reported as lost by Mr. Waring.
Stark recalled that Mr. Waring had
promised him $5 and suggested that it
would be a good idea to take the bi
cycle to its owner, and probably get
the $5 at the same time. He suggest
ed the matter to Superintendent Reilly
and asked his permission to take the
wheel to Mr. Waring/ suggesting that
he would probably get the money
promised to him when the clothing was
recovered.
Detectives Stark and Wall carried
the bicycle to Mr. Waring and during
the conversation Stark remarked that
the assistant postmaster had been
fortunate in recovering stolen property.
Mr. Waring agreed with the officer and
turned $5 over to Stark and Wall. Aa
is the custom with the detectives, the
$5 was split in three parts. Stark.
Murphy and Wall each getting $1.66.
When Coffee learned that the bicycle
had been turned over to Mr. Waring,
and that the detectives had been giv
en $5, he called on the assistant post
master. The conference between Mr.
Waring and the patrolman resulted in
the filing of charges against the detec
tives.
Coffee charged that the money had
been obtained upon a misrepresenta
tion, and that it was a deliberate plan
to beat him out of money
which rightfully belonged to him.
He called upon Superintendent Reilly
and insisted upon an investigation be
fore the Mayor. During the conversa
tion with the superintendent. Coffee
showed plainly that he has no love for
the detectives, and made certain state
ments in connection with the death of
Heilegenberg, which, while they had no
reference to the present members of
the force, caused Superintendent Reil
ly to open ihis eyes in astonishment.
The superintendent, decided that he
would find out just how much Coffee
knows of the matter, and asked the
Mayor to Investigate.
Heilegenberg was found dead on the
northwpst corner of Abercorn street
and Oglethorpe avenue with a ghastly
wound in his head. It was charged by
his friends that he had been murdered,
although the theory of the chief of po
lice and the city detectives at that
time was that he had fallen down and
sustained the wounds that resulted In
his death. The coroner's Jury that in
vestigated the death failed to fix the
responsibility, and It never became
certain Just how the man niet his !
des t h.
The air was full of rumors months
after the trsgedy. and It was staled on
several occasions that Heilegenberg I
had been murdered, but by mistake:
that he h*4 been the,victim of <-ir- |
cumstanre*. and that another man hud
been picked out aa the victim. The i
story was rev'ved several months ago

department and in the- conduct of the
detectives there should be no pecula
tion or irregularity, however mean
the amount. The question is one of
principle. If the detectives should be
proven guilty, they will be dealt with.
An impartial hearing will be accorded
them.
“I cannot give my opinion of the
charges made by Policeman Coffee. It
will be thoroughly investigated, how
ever, as should so serious a charge
as that 1 understand he has made.”
