10 DREW IN THE LIMITS PLACES OF MAJ. RYALB AYD CAPT. BUX E.VCH DED. NOT TO BE PART OF THE CITY. A BOLT 800 ACRES WILL BE DROP PED FROM MAP OF THE CITY. Maf. G. M. Byl *<d Ciipt. Hfnry 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. DEATH OF GEORGE DIETER.

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.

NOVEMBER 28.1901. THANKSGIVING DAY SAVAYWAHIAXS WILL OBSERVE IT 1! VARIOUS WAYS, SERVICES AT THE CHURCHES. SPORT AFIELD AXD AFLOAT HAS DRAWS’ MASY PARTIES. T~ Game la Plentiful Thl* Season, end There Will Be Many Savannahlana la Pursuit of It—l nlon Services ot the Independent Presbyterian Church—Sham Battle Thi* After noon East of the Meadow*—Sev eral of the Local Military Com mand* Will Participate—Rapid Fire Gan* Will Be Supported by Infantry for the Defense of 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. ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICE. Programme Uelng Arranged for An nual Service Sunday. The annual Memorial services of the Savannah Lodge of Elks will be held at the theater Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.

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.” CAMERA CLUB’S PRIZES. Award of Medal and Diplomas in the Fall Competition.

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- THE MIIIEHV I'M MOLTED. Mr. i<#*ll* Ha* lei Yet Iteluraed te Ike t Hr. Mr. John A.

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 contagious disease within the two-mile limit. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Public Health and will be adopted by Council. No Bill Poster’s License. When Alderman Frlpp’s ordinance to require a license of S4O from any one distributing advertising matter was brought up for its second reading, he requested permission to withdraw it. Painters and others whom the ordi nance would have affected had pro tested against it, and Alderman Fripp decided he would not press the mat ter. Accounts against the city for the past two weeks, amounting to $14,130.42, were read and passed for payment. The petition of Lee Platschek, an ex fireman, for the continuance of his pension after Dec. 1. was granted, the pension being continued for twelve months. An adverse report was rendered upon the application from the orphan asylum of Macon for assistance, and the report was adopted. The Streets and Lanes Committee reported adversely upon the petition of the Central Railway, which wanted to pave Water street, between Indian and River streets, provided that title to a strip of property were given it by the city. The report was adopted. A report from the Streets and Lanes Committee, approving the purchase of the Norwood tract, was received as information. The deal has been clos ed, the Mayor having signed two notes in favor of Judge Thomas M. Norwood. Each note is for $10,200, one being due after four and the other after five years. The petition of the Savannah Fe male Orphan Asylum for an annual ap propriation from the city, was read and referred to the Finance Commit tee. Policeman John J. Diegnan petition ed Council for the payment to him of $45.64 as salary that would have been received by him had he not been sus pended by the Mayor because of the fight in which he engaged some time ago with James McGuire. The Mayor remarked that the loss of his pay had been Diegnan's punishment, which he seemed to have forgotten. The peti tion was referred to the Mayor and the Finance Committee. A petition was received from Mr. George W. Owens, requesting that the Branch tract at Estill avenue and Wa ters road be excluded from the city limits under the plan for extension. This was received as Information. The tax ordinance for next year was put upon Its first reading. A resolution by Alderman Thomas was adopted, providing for the pur chase from Mr. Horace Rivers of so much land at 18 cents a square foot as might be needed for widening Davis street. Alderman Frank introduced a reso lution providing for the Installation of a storage battery at the police station for the Gamewell system, the work to be done by tfco Electric Supply com pany at a coat of $976. Alderman Thom aa asked Alderman Frank what bene fits would accrue from such a change from the present battery, to which Al derman Frank replied that the main tenance of the present battery coats S4OO a year, whereas the prospective battery la guaranteed for five ycara without additional uMt.
