12 CITY WILL SELL MUCH PROPERTY TO GET IN EXTRA MONEY ESTIMATED THAT JKHMMM) OR *78,- 000 WIU BE RECEIVED. Some of file Officials Predict Tlmt Almost All of the Departments Will Oven!raw by Reniion of 1-ow Appropriations, Bnt Mayor Myers flays There Will He No Necessity for Thia If Affair* of City Are Economically Administered. A number of the city officials have already figured how at least $50,000 or $75,000 extra revenue can be obtained by the city next year and steps will probably be taken early in the new year to secure this money. Most of the departments are satis fied with thejir appropriations, al though the heads of departments Wad expected larger sums. The opinion was expressed by a number of city officials yesterday that a large majority, prob ably, all of the regular departments would overdraw their appropriations in 1905. There were practically no in creases and in a number of instances decreases were made. There are one or two kickers, but most of the de partments submit gracefully to the low appropriations, and are determined to do the best they can with the money given them. The figuring on extraordinary revenue is largely to provide for the over draft contingency. Even if the de partments do exceed their appropria tions, there are a number of officials who think the city can get the money to meet the expenses. The Mayor's View. Mayor Myers, however, does not think the departments will have any trouble at all in getting along with the appropriations made. If the affairs of the city are economically adminis tered, the Mayor says he sees no rea son why each department should not get through the year all right. The heads of departments must be economical, he says, but there is no reason why the efficiency of any de partment should be impaired by rea son of the appropriations made. Tho Mayor thinks the city’s usual work can be carried on without trouble. The same care that is exercised in the ex penditure of private money, however, will have to be applied to city affairs in all the departments, he says. It is difficult for some of the heads of de partments to realize this, but such is the course that will have to be pursued, Mayor Myers announces. Extraordinary Revenue. Regardless of whether the depart ments can all get along with the ap propriations made, several of the al dermen have figured where the city can easily get in at least 150.Q00 next year that has not been counted upon. So there appears to be no danger of the administration having any very se rious financial troubles. There are still something like $125,- 000 or $150,000 worth of ground rent lots that the city can get money on by giving a liberal discount to the owners who want titles fee simple. This policy will be pursued, it is un derstood. Equally as liberal discounts will be given next year, as were given during the first half of 1904. Besides this source of revenue, the city owns a great amount of unim proved property that could be placed on the market. All of it, of course, could not be sold In one year, but one of the best posted aldermen on the board stated yesterday that $40,000 worth of it could easily be placed on the market during the year without at all depreciating values. As much as possible of this property will be sold, If good prices can be obtained. Mayor Myers has had prepared a complete report of all unimproved lots o*ned •by the city. The list is a long one and a great deal of the property is ad vantageously located. NO CONFETTI BATTLES, SAYS MAYOR MYERS. Issues Orders to Police Not to Allow It On Streets. Mayor Myers issued orders yesterday to the superintendent of police that no confetti throwing should be allowed on the streets Christmas Eve night or at any other time. To put the public on notice, so that the confetti would not be bought, the Mayor ordered an advertisement inserted in the papers, stating that the confetti throwing would not be tolerated. "It is against the city ordinance to throw paper on the streets, to begin with," said the Mayor. "If we al lowed It the streets would be littered up all during the holidays. We can not allow this, but the great danger is that the throwing of the confetti Is likely to bring on numerous alterca tions. The police have enough trouble keeping order without imposing this extra burden upon them So you may put the public on notice that It will not be tolerated. Any one throwing the confetti is apt to be arrested.” REV. DR. WILLIAMS MAY PREACH HERE SUNDAY. Where (an Pure Politics He Found In Georgia. He Aaka. It is probable that Rev. Dr. A. M. Williams, formerly pastor of Trinity Methodist Church, will be heard In Savannah to-morrow night, when he will have something to say on the present political ugltallon in Georgia. Dr. Williams stated yesterday that be Wad almost made up his mind to remain in Savannah Sunday and have something to say about a subject that Is attracting a great deal of attention In the state Just at this time. “Where can pure politics be found In Oeorglß, or the pot calling the skillet black, will be my theme If I remain over," said Dr. Williams. He will probably be heard at Trinity at night. STORESTO CLOSE MONDAY AFTERNOON. The retail stores will close Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock. This has been decided upon In order to give proprie tors and clerks a brief respite after the strenuous period of the Christmus trade. The fact that the holiday falls upon Hurnhiy (his year Is u welcome one to all connected with retail business in conjunct ion with the half holiday to be taken the day following.

In his annual report to the Mayor, the director of public works will call attention to the fact that the con tracts for the repair of all asphalt streets in the city, with the exception of Drayton street, will expire next May. This will, of course, necessitate the making of new contracts, as the asphalt pavements wear very rapidly. The contract for Drayton street still has five years to run and it is be cause of this fact that the director of public works hopes to save the city money on the new contracts that are to be made. It will cost the asphalt company almost as much to send here twice a year to repair Drayton street, as it will have to do for the next five years, as it would to repair at the same time all the asphalt streets. It is hoped, therefore, that a cheaper rate can be secured. The director is also to touch on the electric light situation in his report. It was his last annual report, it will be remembered, that caused so much talk for a time of municipal owner ship. In last year's report, he declared the lights to be “of the old antiquated pattern, the first ever used in the United States." He said further: "They are contin ually going out and causing trouble and annoyance to this department, be sides not giving the light guaranteed by the contract and paid for by the city.” This year he will merely call atten tion to the fact that practically the same condition now exists as when he made his last report. THE TWOTNTERESTS REACH NO AGREEMENT. Thunderbolt Trouble Still Pending *n the Courts. The attorneys representing Mr. Am bos and those representing the town of Warsaw have been unable to reach' any agreement looking toward a set tlement of the difficulties at Thunder bolt regarding the treasureship, and as a result the matter remains to be fought out in the courts. The outlined plan of settlement suggested by Judge Cann on Saturday last failed to bring the two interests together. When assured that an amicable set tlement was impossible Judge Cann passed on the motion to dismiss the proceedings. This was overruled, and as a result the case will proceed. Mr. Stubbs, who represents Mr. Ambos, has yet to make his argument in response to the action instituted by Mr. Too mer. Just when this will toe heard cannot now ‘be stated, but probably some time in the near future. The details of the case were given a few days ago in the Morning News. The election of a treasurer will come up in January next, and then it may be that Mr. Ambos will be officially ousted from the position which he. now claims he holds, but which Mr. Too mer claims he does not. If such should be the result, the entire case will probably be dropped, as there will then be no cause for action. THE REGISTRY*BOOKS WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY. IJquor and Cigarette Dealers Mast Register Hefore Sew Year. On Wednesday Che books of the Ordinary will open for the registering of all liquor dealers, cigarette dealers, and dealers in cigarette tobacco. Under the law all such dealers must register with the Ordinary before the first of the year. If they fail to do so they will be indicted under the mis demeanor charge of conductirtg a bus iness without a license. Official notices have been sent out to all known deal ers by Clerk Joseph Molina. Under the law all dealers selling ci garette tobacco must also register, provided cigarette papers are either sold or given away with the tobacco. The fact that the papers are given away and not sold does not relieve the dealer from registering. Judge McAlpln will see to it that the law is rigidly enforced and indictments will be asked against all who do not reg ister before the first of the year. A NIGHT OF NOISE ON BROUGHTON STREET. Last Alglit Clearly Indicated What In to He Expected. There was not an unusually large crowd of shoppers and sight-seers on Broughton street last night—probably a majority were at home resting in anticipation of the strenuous times promised for to-night—but what it lacked in number it made up in noise. If the noise made last night is any indication of what the crowds intend doing to-night, Broughton street prom ises to be livelier than ever before. The torpedo caps being used this year are more powerful than those that were in use last Christmas and the siden'alks fairly shook last night. Then, too, there are more sorts of noise producers than ever before, and all in all there promises to be a “Hot time in the old town to-night.” RECEIVES CORNER LOT AS CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

TOM YOl NO, CHICKEN THIEF, MET TRAGIC DEATH. Inquest Held Over Remain* of Mint Fired On by Hergt. Murphy, P. trolmaii Rlumtierg and Mr. Hub ert Fen nell—You ng Waa One of Moat Notorious Chicken Thieves lit Savannah, and Had Served Several Term* on < tialugunff. “We, the jury, find that the deceased came to his death from gun shot wounds at the hands of unknown par ties.” This was the rather paradoxical verdict returned by a jury impanelled by Coroner Keller last night to in vestigate the death of Thomas Young, a notorious chicken thief. Young was shot early yesterday morning by one of three persons, and from the evidence before the jury there is strong reason to believe that Mounted Sergeant Murphy fired the shot which caused the death of the negro. Neither of the three, however, could say with any positiveness that he was not the man, and none would be held guilty of any crime as Young was resisting arrest, and the general supposition of those who fired at him was that he had fired at some other members of the arresting party. Watching tur Chicken Thief. According to the evidence adduced at the coroner's hearing Mounted Ser geant Murphy and Mounted Patrolman Blumberg were watching in the neigh borhood of West Broad and Cuyler streets at 4 o’clock yesterday morn ing for a party or parties robbing chicken houses in that neighborhood. These robberies had been going on for several weeks, and many complaints had been made to the police. The negro, who was afterwards shot, was first discovered in the yard of Mr. Henry Smith at Thirty-ninth and Cuy ler streets. Patrolman Blumberg went around the back way to intercept the man, but was discovered and the ne gro, holding to the chickens, com menced running. He ran into the yard of Mr. Robert Fennel, on Forty-first street. In an effort to frighten the negro into stop ping Patrolman Blumberg fired his re volver. Mr. Fennell, hearing the fir ing, and seeing the negro running into his yard, also fired at him. Shot in the Neck. Hearing shots in different locations Sergt. Murphy concluded that the ne gro was firing on Patrolman Blumbeg, and he ran around near Cuyler and West Broad streets. The negro was running through the yard of Mr. H. A. White, and Sergt. Murphy com manded him to halt. He paid no heed to this, and the sergeant commenced firing. The negro climbed to the top of the fence and sprang over just as the sergeant fired his last shot. He ran about half way across the street and fell. When Sergt. Murphy got to the man he was dead, a 'bullet having entered the left side of his neck, ranging slightly upward, which would seem to indicate that the shot fired by Sergt. Murphy just as Young was springing from the fence is the one which took effect. No other shots had taken effect In the negro’s person. There was little surprise expressed when the man was turned over and It was seen he was Tom Young, one of the most notorious and successful chicken thieves Savan nah has ever produced. Even after be ing shot to death he had two chickens tightly clinched in his hand. A large number of others that he had stolen were scattered in the yards through which he had passed. Four were carried to police headquarters. Wua a Desperate Negro. Young had served a number of terms on the chaingang for stealing, and on one occasion told the officers who went to see him that the next time they went to arrest him they had better have a cannon with them, for he certainly would kill them. It is not definitely known whether Young fired any shots. Patrolman Blumberg is under the impression that he did. No pistol was found on his person, although several cartridges were discovered in his pockets when he was searched. The inquest was held at Coroner Keller’s office on Perry street. State ments were made by Sergt. Murphy and Patrolman Blumberg, which were substantially as above. QUIET CHRISTMAS PLANNED BY OFFICIALS. All City Ollleea Are to He Cloned On Monduy During Entire Day. The city officials are all to spend a very quiet Christinas. As Christmas falls on Sunday this year, Monday will be observed, and all the city offices will be closed on that day. The Mayor and all the other city officials say they have no special plans, except for a quiet day, the po lice, of course, excepted. Council has finished its labors for the year, and the aldermen will have practically nothing to do until after Jan. 1, when the first meeting in the new year will be held. But the heads of departments will all be very busy getting their annual reports in shape. Most of them will be finished shortly after the first day of January, but In some few cases It will be several weeks before they will be. MAYOR SILENT ON CANAL. Mayor Myers refuses to discuss the Interview which appeared In yester day's Morning News with Dr. J. C. Le- Hardy relative to the Bilbo canal. Tho Mayor stated that he did not care to enter Into any discussion on the sub ject at all, and he felt sure anV ex pression he might make would cause a reply from someone.

GEORGIA CAR WORKS ORDERED SOLD. Private Sale to Be Tried First, Then Pnblle Anctlon. The entire property of the Georgia Car Works Company, bankrupt, have been ordered sold by Judge A. H. MacDonell, referee In bankruptcy. Pri vate sale will be tried first and tf no bid sufficiently high is obtained the property will be sold at public out cry at the Court House. The order for sale covers the eighty-one acres bf land, and all the buildings, machinery, etc. The matter was heard before Judge MacDonell yesterday morning, being brought up by the petition for sale presented by the trustee, the Savannah Trust Company. The trustee was rep resented by Lawton & Cunningham. No argument against the granting of the petition was made by any interest, and as a result Judge MacDonell pass ed the order of sale. The order puts the entire business in the hands of the trustee, subject to the approval of the referee and the bankruptcy court. Public or private sale is authorized. If private sale is determined bids must be advertised for in at least two newspapers, and must be in the hands of the trustee before the first day of February. On Feb. 1, all bids will be opened and, if suffi ciently high bids have been made in the opinion of the referee, the property will be disposed of to the best bidder, and the result sent to the court for approval. . If the bids are not acceptable the property is to be offered at public out cry at the Court House, or on the grounds on the first Tuesday of March of next year, and sold to the highest bidder. The trustee is commanded to keep an accurate account of all trans actions, and to submit them to the referee when called upon to do so. It is probable that this order will finally wind up the affairs of the car works, a corporation whose existence during the last year, has been filled with ups and downs. A QUIET CHRISTMAS FOR COURT OFFICERS. Government Men Will Also Make Day One of Heat. Monday, which will be observed un der the laws of the state as the Chrls mas holiday, will be quietly spent by the judges, clerks and other officers of the state courts. The day comes as a welcome respite from the daily rush of business, the pouring over legal documents, the writ ing in large books of record, the list ening to weighty arguments, and the passing upon dry questions of law and evidence. Sunday, which is the Teal Christmas, will be quietly observed at home with the usual holiday customs. Monday will be strictly observed as a legal holiday. No sessions of the courts will be held, and the offices of the clerks will be closed during the entire day. Some of the officials have arranged to spend the day hunting in nearby fields, though the majority will spend the day at their homes. At the postofflee holiday hours will be observed in practically all of the departments. Of all departments of the government the postofflee has been the hardest worked M this season of the year, and the two days' rest will be highly appreciated, Holiday de liveries, with possibly one additional, will bo In effect and the usual holi day hours will hold, at the different windows. , 0 The Weather Bureau will take the morning observations and then close for the day, unless conditions compel the men in this department to remain on duty. Thp engineering office will be closed for the day and business, correspondence, map-making and sur veys, will be laffl aside until Tuesday morning. In all the state and govern ment offices—in fact, the day will be observed as a holiday, and no business, save that which is absolutely neces sary, will be transacted. chattanoogaVay come SHORTLY AFTER HOLIDAYS. Commander 11. S. folding Expect* Vessel to Visit This Port. The new United States tehip Chatta nooga will probably come to Savannah early in the new year. Commander H. S. Colding has received a letter from Washington stating that as soon as the ship has its builder’s trial efforts will be made to have It sent to this port. The builder’s trip is now being made, it is thought. Following is the letter from Con gressman Lester which Commander Colding received several days ago in regard to the matter: “Your letter came to hand asking me to request the Secretary of the Navy to send the United States ship Chat tanooga to Savannah on its first out ing. The Secretary of the Navy says It has not taken the builder's trip yet, and will not be turned over to him until It has made that trip. When the vessel is turned ovpr to him. he will give the request to allow it to go to Savannah consideration, and will try and have the vessel go there.” harrijTboy discharged AT PROSECUTOR’S REQUEST. Olln Harris, the 13-year-old boy caught In the act of taking money from a private drawer at Belsinger & Gross’ Thursday afternoon, was discharged yesterday at the request of the prose cutors. The mother of the boy appear ed and made good the shortage, al though she claimed she did not believe her son was guilty. Recorder Myrlck lectured the boy and permitted him to go. CITY BUSINESS CENSUS SHOWS LARGE INCREASE. Deputy Marshal Hussey baa complet ed his annual business census of the city, and the figures show a good In crease over those of the last census. In all there are 2.307 business places In the city, according to the deputy marshal, as against 2,089 when the cen sus was taken at the close of 1903. This makes an Increase of 218 places, a rather remarkable showing for one year. MR. WITCOVKR HE APPOINTED. Mr. H. W.

PAMPHLET AHEAD OF ANNUAL REPORT MAYOR ADOPTS A NEW PLAN. SPECIAL ATTENTION TO STATISTI CAL TABLES THIS YEAH. In Advance of the Hegulnr Mayor’s Message, Pamphlet* Containing Shipping Statistics, Bank Clear ing*, Building Herords and Other Data of Interest, Will Be Issued. Copies Will Be Given to Trade Bodies. More complete than ever before will be the statistical tables to be embodied in Mayor Myers’ next annual report. Because of this fact and because of the advertising value to the city of these tables, it has been decided to have most of them published in pam phlet form in advance of the regular message and department reports. Work on these tables is already well advanced, so far advanced that It can be stated positively a number of rec ords havie been broken. It was after this fact was learped that Mayor My ers decided to issue the tables in pam phlet form in advance of the regular report. The publication of the Mayor’s annual report, embracing as it does the reports of all departments, is al ways delayed late Into the new year. The records for a year just ended are wanted by the public In a con venient form as soon after the close of the year as It is possible to get them, and It is for this reason that the Mayor has decided upon the pamphlets. Most of the tables that are to be in cluded in the report have already been worked up to date and will be com pleted within two or three days after the year ends. The .Shipping Statistics. The tables will be turned over to the printer and issued as soon as pos sible. probably by Jan. 15 at the lat est. Pamphlets will be turned over to the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade, the Cotton Exchange and other trade bodies for distribution, and the city itself will Issue them to the general public. Because of the many fine records made during the year just ending, it is thought the pamphlets will toe of great value to the city for advertising purposes. Especial attention is to be paid to the shipping statistics, both coastwise and foreign. In the coast wise trade, there will be an enormous increase both in the number of ves sels and in the amount of tonnage handled. Though tables are not yet complete, the number of coastwise ships using this port this year already exceeds the number coming here in 1903, by more than fifty. Records Have Been Broken. The exports in cotton, both upland and sea island, of naval stores and of phosphate rock will all be treated in detail. In all exports, except in phosphate rock, it is believed large increases will be shown. The tables will embrace not only the figures for 1904, but for several years back. The bank clearings for the last ten years will be given also. Work on these tables has advanced sufficiently to show that the record for this year is far ahead of that of any previous year. Sb great has the progress been that it occurred to the Mayor that it would be a good thing for the city to get this information before the public in convenient form as soon as possible after the close of the year. WfLL GOSLOWER ON IMPROVEMENTS. South Side Club Adopts New Policy In Its Work. At the meeting of the South Side Administration Club last night, the advisory bdard of the club was in structed to .prepare a list of all the im provements wanted by the club during the coming year. The Idea in getting the list prepared is to determine which Improvements are the most important, and to fight for these first and the others later. The paving of Thirty-first and Thir ty-sixth streets to the Ogeechee road will be insisted upon by the club lead ers. The fight for the removal of the Georgia Infirmary is also to be con tinued. But the club realizes that with the economical policy Just started by the city, as indicated In the new bud get, it will be impossible to secure all of the desired Improvements. For this reason it was determined to fight for a few at a time. A specfal committee was appointed to arrange for the big rally that the club Is to hold next Friday night. The committee will select the speakers, and make all the necessary advance ar rangements. FINED FOR BEATING BOY WHO HIT HIM WITH BRICK. E. M. McKenzie, a young white man, was arraigned in Police Court yesterday morning charged with beat ing John Roberts, a 12-year-old negro boy, with a pistol and stick, and fined $5 or ten days by the Recorder. Further Investigation of the case proved that the negro boy and his sis ter had aggravated the assault, and that the Roberta boy had struck Mr. McKenzie with a brick, while the sis ter, Josephine Roberts, cursed and otherwise abused him. The difficulty occurred at Puder's wood yard, and on the strength of testimony by relia ble witnesses the negro boy was fined $lO or thirty days. PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSED. With the close of the arithmetic ex aminations, held yesterday In all grades of the public schools, the ten day Christmas holiday began. For one week the pupils have been standing examinations. It was expected that n number of the primary grades of the grammar school would have appropri ate exercises and would sing Christmas carols, but this was Impossible with the majority of them, as Ihe pupils did not finish their work In time to hold the exercises, FIRE DESTROYED STILLS AT TAYLOR’S OIL WORKS.

When Susie Parker and Pinkey Jones were arraigned before the Re corder yesterday morning on the charge of occupying a house at 45 and 47 Perry lane, east, belonging to Mr. Julius Kaufman, without the consent of the owner, it developed that the Jones woman was the guilty party, and that Susie Parker had paid her rent for part of the establishment. After seizing the residence and In stalling herself, the Jones woman pro ceeded to get in some tenants, and was just reaping the benefits when she was rudely disturbed. Susie was dis charged and Pinkey was turned over to the City Court. SOLD POULTRY* IN TRUST AND FAILED TO CASH UP. John Williams, colored, was arrested last night at the instance of W. H. Oetgen, a poultry dealer and green grocer at No. 320 Bryan street, east, charged with larceny after trust. According to the statement made by Mr. Oetgen he gave Williams sls worth of turkeys and chickens to sell. Williams was slow in turning in, and when he was found had disposed of all the poultry and had invested con siderable money. He only had about a dollar in change in his pockets. He claims he sold the poultry on credit to reliable parties. HAWLEY BROKE.

Hawley entered business in the city market several months ago, taking the remnant of trade built up by the late Hugh Logan. Other butchers wondered what was coming, for from the start Hawley went at it with vim, giving the impression he was seeking to lead. With him It was a question of clinging to the prestige of that stall, gained by years of ad vertising and hard work. A thorough cleaning was given the surroundings, everything painted white, and new re frigerator installed. Supplies were bought lavishly, with neither pains nor cost spared in providing for custom ers. • Yesterday the expected came when these same customers bought until Hawley broke all previous records. No court officers lurked about, for while Hawley “broke,” it meant little more to anybody than himself. He went ahead making assignments, something to this one and to that. His last and biggest assignment will be to-day, when he hopes to dispose of the remaining stock.—ad. Don’t Store Up Regret*.
