ninu Brcaird the Concession They
Sought From Council—The East
Rank of the Springfield Canal and
the Line of Gwinnett Street Will
Pe Bonndariesi of tlie City on the
Southwest—Maintenance of the
Springfield Canal Will Devolve
1 pon the County— Bill Pending: in
the Legislature for Re-dettnlng
the Limits Will Be Altered.
The City Council last night agreed to
a change in the corporate limits that
will exclude the places owned by MaJ.
G. M. Ryals and Capt. Henry Blun.
They are the principal property owners
affected by the change, but there are
three or four others who have small
holdings within the area that is to be
eliminated from the present ma.p of
the city.
All the land west of the east bank of
the Springfield canal and south of the
line of Gwinnett street, aggregating
about 500 acres, now within the city
limits, is to be excluded by the
change. The boundaries, therefore,
■will be the east bank of the canal and
Gwinnett street from where it crosses
the canal.
Maj. Kyals. Capt. Blun and Capt. D.
G. Purse were before Council In cau
cus to urge that their lands be left out
of the corporate limits. Capt. Purse
represented the Merchants' and Me
chanics’ Land Company and sought to
induce Council to also exclude certain
lerw property of the company that is
contiguous to the Deßenne canal.
All three of the gentlemen were
heard, and the showing made by Maj.
Ryals and Capt. 6lun was such as to
convince the aldermen that their places
should not be Incorporated. Action was
taken upon the question in open meet
ing, when a resolution was adopted, so
changing the resolution calling for the
extension as to define the southwest
limits as indicated above. This will
mean that the maintenance of Spring
field canal in that section will devolve
upon the county.
A bill for changes In the corporate
limits of Savannah is now pending In
the Legislature. It will be so altered
as to fit the amending resolution.
Several days ago Maj. Ryals, Capt.
P.lun and Mr. S. B. Adams, city at
torney, went to Atlanta, where they
had a conference with the representa
tives front Chatham county and Sena
tor Cann. They were advised to re
turn for another meeting with Coun
cil, when, the hope was expressed,
amicable agreement might be reached.
As this hope was realized, the legis
lators will have plain sailing with the
Mil. which, save for the changes se
emed by Maj. Ryals and Capt. Blun,
will be passed In accordance with the
resolution for the extension of the
limits.
“DOCTORED” THE BOOKS.
Itneii Zeigler Charge* Charles J.
Gilbert With Larceny After Trust.
A warrant was sworn out by Gwen
Zeigler yesterday before Magistrate
Nathans charging his day clerk, Ohas.
J. Gilbert with larceny after trust. Gil
bert had not been arrested up to mid
night. but is known to be In town, and
probably will be arrested to-day.
Zeigler claims that Gilbert has
"done" him for $lO6. He discovered
that something was wrong about Nov.
1. he says, wtien Gilbert failed to turn
in his usual monthly statement. Later
Zeigler examined the books and found
that Gilbert had not accounted for
some eighty odd dollars. He taxed the
clerk with having misapplied this
amount, and Gilbert admitted It. hut
secured for the time being an immun
ity from punishment by giving his
note for the amount of the discrep
ancy.
Sunday another and closer examina
tion ot' the books, made by Zeigler,
showed that the accounts had been
"doctored" and that instead of short
age of mere SBO or so the amount un
accounted for was $lO6. This latter
discovery brought matters to a climax
and so yesterday morning Gilbert was
told that something had to be done.
He claimed that he could raise the
money from his friends if allowed to
leave the office for a short time, and
receiving permission to do so, left and
has not been back since.
When quite satisfied that he would
not come back Zeigler took out the
warrant. Zeigler claims also that Gil
bert appropriated sls left In his care by
a patron of the bath yesterday, and
that this sum he has had to make
good.
Gilbert is said to be a native of At
lanta, but has been in Savannah for
about two years, and In the employ of
Zeigler for about four months.

’NEATH AN ARCH OF SMILAX.
Mr. Tbonin* Fealiody and Mie Emily
Jaudon Were Wedded.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. William A.
Jaudon was the scene of a beautiful
wedding last evening, when their
daughter. Miss Emily Scudder Jaudon,
and Mr. Thomas King Peabody of At
lanta were married.
The ceremony was performed at 7
o’clock and was witnessed by the fam
ilies and Intimate friends only. A re
ception, between the hours of 7:30 and
9 o’clock, brought together a great
number of other friends. The cere
mony was performed by Dr. J. Y. Fair
of the Independent Presbyterian
Church. The rooms were elaborately
decorated, white and green being the
colors. Smilax wreathed the walls, and
groups of palms formed am arch be
neath which the minister and the bri
dal couple stood during the service. The
mantels were banked with coco palms
and white flowers, and the brilliant
lights were shaded with white and
green. The side veranda was enclosed
with canvas and pret.ily decorated,
and here Wiegand’s Orchestra was sta
tioned to furnish the music.
The usual wedding marches were
played at the beginning and end of
the ceremony and throughout the even
ing there were appropriate selections of
music.
The dining room, where refreshments
were served during the evening, was
particularly effective. The table was
lighted by candles in silver candelabra,
and had in Its center a basket tied with
white satin ribbons, and filled with
white roses and ferns. There were no
attendants, and the bride and groom
entered together.
The bride wore a beautiful gown of
white silk poplin, en traine. A trans
parent yoke of mousseline de soie was
finished with a sgft fichu of the same
material which fill 'in long ends from
the left side of the bodice. The skirt
was trimmed with accordion pleatings
of mousseline outlined with narrow
ruchings, and over all was draped a
graceful tulle veil. A bouquet of white
Nephitos roses was carried.
After receiving the congratulations of
their friends, the happy couple left via
the Central Railway for Columbus, the
former home of the groom. After
spending a few days with relatives
there they will go to Atlanta. Mr. Pea
body is a well known young business
man of that city, and is connected with
the Southeastern Passenger Associa
tion. He is a son of Mrs. Josephine Pea
body of Columbus, and is a young man
of estimable character.
The attractive bride is the elder
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Jau
don. and is an intellectual and lovable
young woman. The wedding gifts were
very handsome, and included cut glass,
silver, pictures and bric-a-brac. Among
the out-of-town guests present were
Mr. and Mrs. William Peabody of At
lanta: Mrs. E. S. Faber of Columbus,
Mr. Preston Hill and Mr. George
Langston of Atlanta.

at the residence of the bride’s aunt.

pressive one. The parlors were deco
rated with tall palms, ferns and cut
flowers. Only the immediate relatives
were present, and there were no at
tendants. The handsome bride wore
a becoming tailor-made gown of fawn
broadcloth, the waist opening over a
blouse of white silk and mousseline.
She carried a shower bouquet of Bride

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 28.1901.
THANKSGIVING DAY

SERVICES AT THE CHURCHES.

Breastworks Against Opposing
Infantry.
This is Thanksgiving day, and it will
be generally observed. The day Is a
legal holiday, and but little business
will be transacted. All the public
buildings will be closed for the entire
day, and It Is probable that but few
of the business houses will remain
open. Those that may be open during
the forenoon will be closed for the af
ternoon.
The holiday will be spent in various
ways. Not a few will follow the time
honored custom of seeking sport. Many
hunting and fishing parties have been
arranged, and the fields and woods for
miles around the city will be alive
with huntsmen, while the creeks and
rivers will have many fishermen seek
ing to allure the finny tribe to an in
dulgence in the bait that will be offer
ed.
Game is plentiful, and full bags will
doubtless reward those who elect to
spend the day with gun and dog. Some
of the parties will be content to hunt
not far from Savannah, but others
have departed by train for fields of
fering greater promise. Although
hunting grounds contiguous to the city
are reputed this season as offering the
best sport experienced in years, they
yet cannot compare with lands more
remote in the quantities of game that
they yield to a good shot’s pursuit.
Fishermen expect to catch whiting
and trout, with a sprinkling of the
other fish that are indigenous to the3e
waters and that are now biting. A
scarcity of bait is complained of, how
ever, and it may be that all who
wished to go fishing were not able to
do so because of the trouble in getting
shrimp.
The ugion Thanksgiving service will
be held at the Independent Presbyte
rian church at 11 o’clock. Rev. W. P.
McCorkle, pastor of the First Presby
terian Church, will preach. Rev. Dr.
John D. Jordan, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, was to have preached,
this being the year for the service to
be. in charge of a Baptist minister, but
he is detained in Macon, and requested
Mr. McCorkle to take his place. It is
requested that the minister meet fif
teen minutes before the services begin
In the session room of the church.
An attractive programme of music
has been prepared for the union ser
vice. The choir will sing several an
thems. Mrs. Smith will sing as an
offertory solo, “Consider the Lilies,”
and Mme. Bishop-Searles will sing, “I
Will Sing of Thy Great Mercies, O,
Lord,” from Mendelssohn's “St. Paul.”
A Thanksgiving service will be con
ducted and a sermon delivered at St.
Michael’s Chapel, at 11 o'clock by Rev.
F. A. Juny, rector. The chapel will
be decorated with flowers and fruits,
and there will be the customary offer
ings of vegetables, etc., which after
the service, will be distributed to the
poor of the parish by St. Michael’s
Guild.
A feature of the day will be the bat
tle exercises that are to be engaged In
east of The Meadows by some of the
military commands of the city. The
troop® will leave their armories shortly
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
the spectators should be on hand by 4
if they desire to see the entire sham
battle.
The six companies of the First Regi
ment that are to participate will as
semble at their armory. The first call
will be sounded at 2:45 p. m., the as
sembly at .2:55 and the adjutant’s call
at 3:15. The march will then be taken
up to Harmon's Range, where the Na
val Militia, with their Hotchkiss gun,
and the Chatham Artillery, with their
Gatling gun, will be entrenched. A de
tachment of the Guards and two com
panies of the First Regiment will sup
port the guns, which will be attacked
by four companies of the regiment.
The attacking force will first be re
pulsed. It will then return to the attack
and carry the position. Blank cart
ridges will be supplied, and the mus
ketry and the rapid fire guns will
doubtless create a hubbub.
Upon the return f the companies of
the First Regiment to their armory,
which be to the music of the First
Regiment Band, which has volunteered
its services, refreshments will be en
joyed.
The Savannah football team has
gone to Charleston for a game, hut
there will be a game between colored
teams this afternoon at the Bolton
Street Park.
The fall exhibition of the Savannah
Camera Club will open this afternoon,
and those Interested in photography
will enjoy a visit to the club's rooms.

ALL BUDGETS CUT DOWN.
Mayor Myers Think* Chairman Daf
fln Ha* Yo Cause for Complaint.
The criticism offered by Chairman P.
D. Baffin of the Park and Tree Com
mission against the City Council for
what he called Its niggardly treatment
ot the commission in the appropriation
of funds to enable it to carry on its
work created considerable talk. Mr.
Datfln’s interview in the Morning News
was widely read, and the members of
Council were especially Interested.
"It is childish,” said Mayor Myers,
“for Mr. Daffin to adopt the position
that he will not submit an estimate of
the commission's expenses for the rea
son that he has not heretofore receiv
ed what he has asked for. This has
been the unvarying experience of all
the departments of the city govern
ment that have submitted estimates.
They have not been able to get all that
they have asked for. because H would
be Impossible to appropriate such
amounts without increasing taxation.
We do not consider that the proper
thing to do.
"I do not know that Mr. Daffin can
simply fail to submit an estimate. I
have not looked into the law governing
the commission yet, but I know that
the head of no other department could
refuse. Estimates should be submitted,
and it sihould then be for Council to
determine whether all the money ask
ed for could be granted. Council, with
all the facts before it, should be the
best judge as to what amounts should
be put at the disposal of the various
departments.
"The chairman of the commission Is
mistaken in supposing that I or the
members of Council are opposed to the
commission. On the contrary, we think
that Mr. Daffin has done extremely
well with the means that have been
placed at his disposal. He should re
member that he has served during the
terms of two or three boards, and that
his experience has always been that he
could not get as much money as he
thought was needed for carrying on the
work of his commission.
“I wish that it were possible to ap
propriate the money —that" Mr. Daffin
desires to the cause of the beautifying
and improvement of the parks and
streets. It is not, however, unless the
rate of taxation were higher. I con
sider that other Improvements have
been more greatly needed. For in
stance, the house drainage and the
new water works were needed worse
than trees and grass plots. Money was
spent for them and also for the pav
ing of streets. The streets should be
paved before attempts are made to
beautify them.”

the Fall Competition.
The awards of prizes in the Camera

ond prize.
In the club medal contest Mr. Jerger
was the successful competitor, and was

considered by the club the most sat
isfactory way of making the awards.

tween 4 and IX o’clock. Besides over
one hundred new pictures in the com
petition, there are over one hundred
and twenty-five pictures on exhibition
in the club rooms. The rooms have
been attractively decorated and visi
ters will find many things to interest
them.
‘•ROCKED” THE PATROLMEN.
Disorderly Negro Vrchtus Fired
Brick* at Officer*.
Patrolman Beiber had a warm lime
of it for several minutes at the Harris
circus last nirht and arrested Eddie
Bell, Andrew James and Joe Bleen,
negro urchins, for throwing rocks.
They are also alleged to have been a
part of a crowd that attempted to
"rock” Officers Reiber and Coffee.
A crowd of negro boys who didn’t
have the price of admission to the cir
cus got up a show on the outside, and
amused themselves by throwing, rocks
through the tent. When Patrolmen
Coffee und Beiber appeared on the
scene the boys scattered, but began
tossing stones at the officers. The pa
trolmen mi ssfullv dodged the bricks
and managed to- lend the trio. The
boys will be given a Thanksgiving
hearing by Recorder Myrlck In Police
Court this morning-

WANTS NO CHANGE
CITY convert OPPOSED to incom
ing BOAHD EJECTING.
EXPRESSED ITS OPPOSITION.
THROUGH A HF.SOLUTIOY INTRO
DUCED BY ALDERMAN BACON.
Was by bat a Narrow Margin That
tlie Resolution Passed—Were Six
Votes for and Five Against It.
Sanitary Board Wants Garbage
Taken Farther From the City.
County Farm Suggested as the
Proper Place for It—Bill Posters’
Ordinance Withdrawn hy Alder
man Frlpp—Various Matters That
Were Passed by Council.
The City Council adopted a resolu
tion of protest last night against the
proposition to have the incoming Board
of Aldermen elect city officers. It was
by but a narrow margin that the reso
lution was passed. There were six
votes for and five against it.
Alderman Bacon introduced the reso
lution,' which set forth that the report
that legislation was contemplated to
change the law governing the election
of city officers, so that they might be
chosen by the incoming instead of the
outgoing board, and declared Council
to be opposed to such a change, as it
was of the opinion that It would be
hurtful to the best interests of the
municipal government.
When the resolution had been read
by Clerk W. P. Bailey, Alderman Gold
ing asked for the yeas and nays. The
aldermen voted as follows: Yeas—
Thomas, Schroder, Frank, Fripp, Ba
con and Oanty; nays—Holland, Horri
gan, Dixon, Watson and Colding, mak
ing six for the' resolution and five
against it.
The resolution prescribed that a copy
of it should be sent to each represen
tative from Chatham county and the
senator from the district. This means
that they will be made aware that
Council is opposed to a change In the
present law.
Move Garbage Further.
From the Sanitary Board had been
sent to Council a resolution requesting
that arrangements be made for the re
moval of the city garbage to some more
distant point than the present dumping
ground. This is on the farm of Maj.
G. M. Ryals, who said after the meet
ing that he would certainly not regret
seeing some other disposition made of
the garbage should the city decide that
it would be to the best advantage to
dispose of it in some other way.
The resolution was referred to the
Streets and Lanes Committee. The
Mayor first suggested that it should go
to the Committee on Public Health,
but Alderman Horrigan, chairman of
that committee, said that it should
more properly go to the other commit
tee, as the removal of the garbage to
some point more distant than 'Maj.
Ryals' farm, would mean that more
scavenger department teams would
have to be provided. The Mayor re
marked that the garbage should
properly go to the county
fartn, whereupon Alderman Watson
said that he had already had some
conversation with the county authori
ties looking toward that disposition of
the refuse.
Another resolution from the Sanitary
Board was read, setting forth that It
tvas the opinion of the board that au
thority should be given the aealth offi
cer to placard houses infected with
