Anew home for the National Bank of Savannah, probably ten stories, at the northwest corner of Bull and Broughton streets, is a certainty. It Is said, too, that negotiations are to be again taken up, very shortly, looking towards the consolidation of the Merchants National Bank and the National Bank of Savannah. While this Is not regarded as a certainty, it Is said that the consolidation is pretty apt to take plate. No one in authority will discuss th • matter at this time, but developments are expected within the next week or two. Mr. J. A. G. Carson, president Of the Merchants National Bank, when asked relative to the rumored merger, paid that he knew nothing officially of the matter, that it has not been dis cussed by the directors, and that if any ovc-tures relative to resuming n?- Botl atio is for a consolidation are made they will have to come from the other aide. The matter of a new' home for the (National Bank has already been de cided upon by the directors, although the style of building has not been finally determined. It is believed now, (however, that a ten-story structure will be put up and that work will Btart on or about Oct. 1. Plans for the proposed new' building have already been drawn. It is in tended to build a handsome and mod ern structure—one that will be an or nament to the city. The site is con eidered one of the best in the city for an office building, and it is not be lieved that the bank would experience any difficulty in renting offices. In the event that the tw r o banks con solidate, It Is not believed there will be any change In the plans for the new building. Several contractors have been notified that they will be Invited to bid on the new building, and it is thought the plans and speci fications will be ready for distribution ■during the present month.

The police are going to catch you if you don’t watch out! This warning is given to owners of automobiles who have failed to regis ter with the clerk of Council. The superintendent of police has or dered special men on duty Monday and they will be kept at work until all of the machines in the city have been corralled. The Recorder has promised to do the rest. And there are others who are after the autoists with a long stick. The Board of Tax Assessors has gotten in the game and every automobile owner caught by the police, who has not re turned his machine as personal prop erty, will not only be fined by the Re corder for failing to register, hut will be taken in hand by the heard-henrted assessors. Folks arc “awfully careless" about returning their automobiles and the assessors have sent out In the neigh borhood of forty notices to owners that the board has placed valuations on as many machines. In naming the valua tions the board was considerate, hut those who are landed by Supt. <ar funkel’s special men for not registering may not be treated as kindly. Quite a scheme has been arranged for checking up the automobile own ers in order to see that they have all registered, and the special men will have their hands full for a few days. One man will be kept on duty for some little while to prevent any au toists from quitting the game while the search is on. It is expected that one or two autoists will register to day, but the police will probably pick up quite a number when they start to work. NAVAL STORES CASES BEFORE FEDERAL COURT. Occupied Entire Time of f'cinrt nt Yesterday's Session. In the United States court yester day the naval stores cases were be gun. The hearing of ihe cases occu pied the entire session and will be continued this morning. Before beginning the trial of the cases Judge Speer asked the Jurors if any of them were in the employ of the United States, or in any way even as relatives of bondholders, connected with the naval stores companies con cerned. The question of relationship to stockholders brought out a number of amusing points. United States District Attorney Striplin of the northern district of Florida was introduced to the court by Mr. Leaken, and announcement made that Mr. Striplin would assist Mr. Leaken in the trial of the cases. Mo tion was then made to t y all the cases against the Peacock, Hunt & West Cos. at one time. This was re sisted by Judge Adams. The court, however, Instructed the Jury to bear in mind the differences between the cases. In the cases against the Peacock, Hunt & West Cos., which were called first, Judge Adams presented an amendment in which it was recited that the cases had been adjudicated heretofore in the Florida United States court. Mr. Striplin pleaded surprise, though it was contested that, as pros ecutor, he could not possibly be sur prised. The court ruled that the cases could be taken up In whatever order the district attorney chose, and the case against the Southern Naval Stores Company was then begun. This, one of the smallest of the seven, involves about $2,000. The circumstances of the cases, seven In all, are familiar to readers of the Morning News. FOR DOUBLE MURDER NEGRO WAS ARRESTED.

The prisoner will prob ably be sent back to-day or to-mor row. Carter was arrested three or four days ago by Detectives Bostick and Mose Davis. Detective Bostick will probably carry him back. Even if Carter is not the man want ed in Columbus, he is badly wanted by the police, as he admits he was In the crowd that shot the agent at Billsville. It is believed he is the Co lumbus man, but should such prove not to be the case he is wanted for the second shooting. He does not ad mit having fired a shot, but says he was in the crowd that shot the agent. MEETING OF CREDITORS IN STERNBERG CASE. Another meeting of creditors in the bankrupt case of Sternberg & Cos., will be held before Referee MacDonell to day. Some time ago the creditors agreed to accept a composition of 33 1-3 per cent, on all accounts due by the bankrupt firm.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATFRDAV. APRIL 2. 1904. CITY WILL SAVE j BY BUYING NOW STREET OPENING URGED AT MEETING OK SOI TH SIDE AU MINISTHATIO.V (LIB. ft e*nl u t Inn* PnnMi'il null Committee Appointed to See 'That Fortieth, l-'ori >-tl rut noil Forty-neeonil Street* Are FntahllMheil From Price Street to Water* Avenue, Bull, lirayton anil Abereorn Street* Shoulil Ran Through Sun ny Siile—t lull Keeeived iIS New >1 e m he r*. Thoroughly convinced that the city will save money by purchasing laud for opening streets at this time, and recognizing the urgent need of the opening of more streets in the south ern section of the city, the South Side Administration Club, at its regular meetings last night, passed resolutions, urging City Council, and the Commit tee on Opening Streets, to open addi tional streets in the South Side. More streets running both north and south, and east and west, are wanted in the growing South Side. One resolu tion calls attention to the necessity for the establishing of Fortieth, Forty-first and Forty-second streets* from Price street to Waters avenue. Mr. Carl Mendel, one of the speakers, impressed upon the members of the club the Importance of seeing that the streets are open, and that there is no delay about the matter. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and the res olutions were passed unanimously. Not only was Council urged to take the matter up, but a special commit tee was appointed to see that there are no delays. The necessity of prompt action was evident to the members, and the matter will not be permitted to die of inertia. Not only was a special committee named, but both resolutions were re ferred to the Improvement Committee of the club. The action of the South Side Club makes it certain that For tieth, Forty-first and Forty-second streets will be established from Price street to Waters avenue, and that Hull, Drayton and Abereorn streets will be extended through Sunny Side. Street* Are Hnilly Needed. The following were the resolutions passed: Whereas, The recognized growth of the South Side demands the opening of more streets; and, Whereas, The purchasing of land at this time for the opening of streets would mean a saving of money to the city of Savannah, since the land valu ations in the rapidly growing South Side are increasing from time to time; und. Whereas, Streets are badly needed south of Thirty-ninth street, extending from Price street to Waters avenue; and. Whereas. The interests of the South Side demand that Fortieth, Forty-first and Forty-second streets be estab lished from Price street to Waters ave nue; therefore, be it ltesolved, That the South Side Ad ministration Club, in regular meeting assembled, do urge upon City Council and the Committee on Opening Streets the great importance and im mediate necessity of establishing the said streets; and be it further Resolved, That the representatives of the South Side in City Council use their best efforts in bringing about the opening of these streets, so that the said South Side may derive the bene fits which it is entitled to by its said rapid growth. Street* Through Sunny Slile. Whereas the purchasing of land at this time for the opening up of Bull, Drayton and Abereorn streets, through the tract of land known as Sunny Side, would mean a saving of money to the city, as well as the doing away with all the shanties that now debar many of our citizens from building in that beautiful section of the city, and for the benefit of all those who have al ready built houses and desire to build in the near future, be it Resolved, by the South Side Club, in regular meeting now assembled, do urge upon City Counpil and the com mittee on opening streets, and our rep resentative in Council, and our leaders in general, the great importance in opening up said streets, so that the southeastern section may derive the benefit which it is entitled to. In the absence of President Glatigny the meeting was presided over by Mr. Thomas Gamble, Jr. Mr. J. Robert Creamer urged the passage of the reso lutions calling for the improvement of the South Side by the opening of more streets. There were thirty-eight new applications for membership and it was shown that the club is in a flourishing condition. Addresses were made by Frank S. Van Giesen, J. J. Stephens, C. C. Lebey and Carl Men del. SUING THE GERMANIA TO RECOVER INSURANCE. Beneflclnry Claims That Company Will Not l'ny Amount line, In the Superior Court yesterday suit was instituted against the Germania Life Insurance Company of New York by Olive B. Lynch to recover SI,OOO In surance, which she claims is due her, together with the interest on the same. The suit Is brought through Twiggs & Oliver. The petitioner alleges that on Dee. 12, 1902, John F. Lynch took out in surance in the sum of SI,OOO with the Germania company, naming the peti tioner as sole beneficiary. On Nov. 11, 1903, John Lynch died, and it is al leged that the certificates and proofs of death were forwarded to the com pany as required by law.

MAYOR TURNED DOWN COMMITTEE ON FIRE For Increasing Salaries WitHont Authority From Council. Mayor Myers and Alderman Wrignt, the chairman of the Committee on Ac counts, yesterday caught and held up an increase in the pay of the foremen of the fire department, which had not been authorized by Council. A peculiar feature of the affair was that the foremen had drawn the in crease last month, though without the knowledge of the Mayor or the chair man of the Committee on Accounts. The increase in the foremen's pay was made hi' the Committee on Fire. When or where it was ever nassed cannot be stated exactly. It had nev er been announced by the chairman of the committee, or by any other member, that an increase was to be granted. The pay roil last month, with the foremen's increase, slipped through. This month, the Mayor got wind of what was coming and notified Aider man Wright to be on the lookout. When the pay roll was submitted to him, he held it up. The Mayor was notified. The roll had to be corrected, before the signatures of Mr. Wright and Mr. Myers could be obtained. The Mayor is not opposed to raising the pay of the foremen, but he is op posed to dark-lantern methods used in securing such a raise. ‘‘They may deserve the raise,” said the Mayor, “but that is not the way to give it. An increase in salary is a matter for Council and not for a committee.” The foremen thought it was all a Joke, when told yesterday that the pay roll had been held up. Fire Chief Maguire made corrections in rapid or der, though it was not his mistake, and the pay roll was then signed. The matter will now be brought before Council, and the increase will doubtless be granted. SENTENCE SHORTENED BY LESS THAN MONTH. Time Spent In I linthniit County Jail Will Detract From Sentence. In the United States court yesterday. District Attorney Marion Erwin pre sented the application of Daniel A. Tyson, sentenced in 1900 to serve five years in the state prison at Nashville, Tenn., asking that the time spent in the Chatham county jail be subtracted from the sentence. An order was hand ed down by Judge Speer granting the application. Tyson was sentenced on March 23, 1900, to serve five years in the Nashville prison. From the date on which sen tence was imposed, until April 10, 1900, was spent in Chatham county jail. It is this time, less than a month, which will be subtracted from the sentence. MARINE HOSPITAL ON PUBLIC MARKET TO-DAY. Actual Work Will 11. Started Soon According to Col. I,ester's Tele grn in. Mayor Myers yesterday received the following telegram from Congressman Rufus E. Lester: “Marine hospital in hands of super vising architect and goes on the mar ket to-morrow No appropriation for additional land, and it will not do to hold up to wait for that.” The Mayor had wired Congressman Lester in regard to the probabilities of getting a larger site for the hos pital. as had been suggested a number of times. Adjoining lots are for sale and it was thought the government might be induced to purchase them. roadwayto Island - WAS INDORSED. South Shlers Want Roadway With an Electric Ferry, At the meeting of the South Side Administration Club last night the scheme for a roadway to Wilmington Island, with an electric ferry from Thunderbolt, was indorsed. A special committee was appointed to push the matter, and the South Siders will do all in their power to se cure the roadway. They will ask every other political club in the city *o pass similar resolutions and appoint simi lar committees. The number of ad vantages to be derived from such a roadway has already been told of in the Morning News. GREEN IS PLANNED FOR WEST BROAD ST. Wonlil Make One of the Prettiest Streets In City. President George J. Baldwin, of the Savannah Electric Company, has sug gested to the Mayor and aldermen, and the suggestion will doubtless be adopt ed, that a green be laid out on West Broad street, from Gwinnett to Thirty first. From Thirty-first to Anderson the green has already been determined up on and there is little doubt that the rest will also be agreed to. This will be decided upon within a few days, as the paving on the street is about to be commenced. LINCOLN PARK*WILL OPEN ON SUNDAY. Lincoln Park will be opened for the summer season, beginning next Sun day. The pavilion has been remodel ed and overhauled and a merry-go round has been installed. The park has been greatly improved since last summer, and it is thought the negroes will patronize it more liberally than ever before. FOR STEALING CLOTHES. For the larceny of a lot of clothing ■from Thomas E. Ferribee, Willie Johnston, a negro boy, was yesterday arrested by Patrolman McWhorter. A preliminary hearing will be had this morning before Recorder Myrick. The officers are positive that the negro stole the clothes. Dr. P. D. Pollock Improving. Rev. Dr. P. D. Pollock, president of Mercer University, who has been quite ill for some time, and who is now at Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment, has written to Rev. Dr. J. D.

He says; "I am happy to write you that my improvement is steady and satisfactory, in order to make me rest, they put me in bed, where I have been now six weeks, and must be there three or four weeks more. They predict that after about six weeks more here, with proper care, I will attain normal health." A Trip to Warsaw.

JUVENILE COURT IS NOT LIKELY AUTHORITIES INDIFFERENT. MAYOR MY ERS SAY'S COl RT IS X'OT FEASIBLE SOW. Thinks That Reformatory Wonlrt Hnve to Come First—Comity Com missioner Moore Recalls That Yoters in Chatham County, in Spcclnl Election, Were Opposed to Establishing Reform School. Doulits if They Have Changed. Ylrs. YYelih Has Xot Abandoned Her Plans. It does not seem likely that Savan nah will have either a juvenile court or a reformatory for some time to come. Neither the city nor county author ities enthuse on the subjeej. Mayor Myers doesn't think a juvenile court feasible in Savannah at this time, and says a reformatory is to be considered first, although even the matter of a reformatory is debateable. Recorder Shelby Myrick cannot see the value of a juvenile court in Sa vannah, and none of those in police circles, who were talked to on the sub ject were found to favor it. With one accord the police officers agree that there is no possible chance of reform ing any of the juvenile criminals who are nicked up in this city. In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr. A. B. Moore, one of the County Commissioners, said: “I have not looked into the subject of a juvenile court sufficiently to know whether or not it is the best thing that could be established at present. Until I have done so I would not like to express an opinion regarding the desirability or undesirability of the project. Plan Waa Y'oted Down. "As for the establishment of a re formatory In which youthful criminals could be placed, the voters of Chat ham county have set themselves strongly against it. A few years ago the proposition of establishing a re form school was put before the voters of this county and defeated by an overwhelming majority. I doubt if the sentiment has changed.” Other commissioners who were ask ed for an opinion concerning the move ment advocated by Mrs. Webb took the same ground as did Mr. Moore. All pointed to the fact that the estab lishment of a reformatory had been voted down, and accepted this as a proof that such an institution was not desired in Chatham county. Regard ing the juvenile court, all consulted took the position that there was not enough business for a juvenile court to warrant the establishment of it. Mrs. Wriib YVill X’ot Give I’p. Mrs. Richard Webb, president of the W. C. T. U.. said that a communica tion would be addressed to the Mayor and City Council, within a few days, urging that steps be taken to estab lish the Juvenile court for the trial of youthful criminals. Mrs. Webb will hold a conference with Judge S. B. Adams and request him to assist in the matter. As yet Judge Adams has not been approached on the subject. Mrs. Webb is very much interested in the establishment of both the juve nile court and the county reform school, but says she prefers that some one else take the lead in the move ment, as she desires no credit, even if the city and county should act favor ably. “I have simply stated the agita tion of the question because I believe it duty. I would much rather some one else have any glory if we are suc cessful.” CASE IN ADMIRALTY SETTLED OUT OF COURT. R. Ropner A Cos. and Wilder & Cos. Reach an Agreement. At the opening of the United States court yesterday morning announcement was made that the case of R. Ropner & Cos., ngainst Wilder & Cos., a case In admiralty, had been settled out of court. The plaintiff was represented by Maj. Edward S. Elliott and the de fendant by Hon. W r alter G. Charlton. This case is the one in which Judge Speer had ordered a further argument. The law in the case favored one party and the e'quity favored the other. A copy of the decision on both sides was furnished the opposing counsel. Dur ing the interim an agreement was reached and the case has been crossed from the docket. In the ancillery petition of Felicianna R. Miles and others, against the New South Building and Loan Association, Johnston Armstrong as receiver, against Mrs. Ellen Burns, an order was handed down by the court. The order directs the defendant, Mrs. El len Burns, to pay the petitioner $2,900 and some odd dollars. It Is further ordered that the lot at Houston street and Bay lane be sold. testimonVwas taken. Before United States Commissioner Hewlett yesterday afternoon addition al testimony was taken in the case of Charles Marthinson, against the Hall Tie and Lumber Company. The tak ing of testimony occupied only a short time, there being but few witnesses to be examined. The particulars of the case have been published heretofore in the Morning News. WILL CALL DOCKETS IN SUPERIOR COURT. With the opening of the Superior Court this morning the appearance docket, the certiorari docket, the fore closure of mortgage, the charter and the criminal dockets will be called.

GOOD FRIDAY SERVICES WERE WELL ATTENDED. Large Congregations In Catholic ami Episeopnl < hilrelies. All of the Good Friday services held yesterday were largely attended and in the Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran churches, large congregations assem bled. The most elaborate services w'ere held at the Cathedral of St. John the Bap tist. The first service was held at 9 o’clock in the morning, the second from noon until 3 o’clock, and at 3 o’clock the Devotions of the Way of the Cross was solemnized. Similar services were held at St. Patrick’s Church and at the Church of the Sacred Heart. At Christ Church and at St. John’s Church services were held at 11 o’clock in the morning and large congrega tions were in attendance. At St. Paul’s Church matins were held at 10 o’clock in the morning. “The Agony” was solemnized from 12 to 3 o'clock p. m. and at night an additional serv ice was held. Services were held at 11 o'clock at both the Lutheran Church of the As cension and at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. At the former the services were conducted by Dr. W. C. Schaeffer. Those at St. Paul’s Church were con ducted by Rev. T. B. Epting, a student at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Charleston WEATHER ON EASTER SHOULD BE PLEASANT. It Has lot Rained on April 3 Daring the Laot Ten Years. If the weather, like history, repeats itself, Easter Sunday should bring pleasant weather to Savannahians. The records kept in the Weather Bu reau show that It lias not rained on April 3, the date on which Easter falls this year, during the last ten years. Owing to variation in the date on which Easter falls each year, Easter weather, properly speaking, could not be computed, but April 3 has been without rain, though on alternating years the day has been marked "part ly cloudy” by the official compilers of records in the postoffice building. Though on alternating years the weather has been clear and then part ly cloudy, the circumstances, if the same sequence prevails this year, point to clear weather to-morrow. It has never, during the last ten years, rained on April 3, and the precedent give no indication of being broken this year. Last night there was nothing in the re ports to indicate a rainy Easter. BREWING COMPANY TO~ BUILD NEW STABLES. Bids have been called for by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company for the erection of anew *wo-story brick stables on the corner Iryan and Lin coln streets.
