and ability is a guarantee that all business
entrusted to them, in either the State or
Federal Courts, will be faithfully attend
ed to.
The Savannah Local.
The prospectus of this sprightly little
weekly appears elsewhere. It is well gotten
up, and is a welcome visitor in many house
holds. It is devoted to pleasant local gossip,
and we are glad to know that Mr. Otto has
made such a success of it. We tender the
Local our best wishes for continued pros
perity.
The Theatre To-Night.
The Charleston News and Courier gives
the following complimentary notice of Mil
ton Nobles’ new drama, “Love and Law,”
which will be presented for the first time in
the Savannah Theatre to night:
“ ‘Love and Law,’ like ‘The Phoenix’ and
‘lnterviews’ and Mr. Nobles’ other pr'-duc
tions, is sensational in character, striking
and startling in plot and bright and spark
ling in dialogue. The plot is somewhat
complicated, but in the end it is fairly un
ravelled, and the play itself is remarkably
a success. In the closing act Mr. Nobles
has some fine work in the imitation of the
Italian ‘Conti.’ This imitatiop was so per
fect in voice and action that, although it
had continued for ten minutes or more, ii
was not suspected by the audience until the
return of ‘Conti’ upon the stage.
“Every character in the p'ay was ad
mirably handled and the applause was most
hearty. The acting of Dollie Nobles as
‘R tta,’ Agnes Herndon as ‘Helen Montag
ne,’ George W Barnum as ‘Conti,’ and of
Frank E Aiken as ‘Jasper Craddock’ was uu
usually fine. The play was hands mely
mounted, especially the first scene, ‘East
River and Brooklyn Bridge,’ which was
highly realistic and which received a round
of applause.”
“THE PIRATES.”
A Complimentary Benefit to the Managers.
It will be observed by announcement
elsewhere that the charming opera of ‘ The
Pirates of Penzmce,” which was so pleas
antly rendered last week by the talent of
Savannah under the management of Messrs.
Rebarer, Ray and Readick, is to be re
peated. This repetition will be a com
plimentary benefit tendered the man
agers by the entire cast in a
very graceful letter which is signed by
all the singers. The weather was so in
clement on the occasion of the first perform
ances that the managers did not meet with
the financial success that its merits deserved.
It will be given to-morrow night at the Thea
tre, and we trust will be greeted by a crowd
ed house, as the gentlemen deserve encour
aeement in their effort to develop home
talent and to furnish our citizens will)
fuel) pleasant entertainments. Seats can be
reserved at Davis Bros. This is probably
the last time this season that our musical
loving people will have to witness this opera,
and they should not neglect it. If you wish
to enjoy the evening be present.
“The Social Glass.”
On Wednesday evening, the 11th inst.,
the five-act drama entitled “The Social
Glass” will be presented by the Volunteer
Amateurs of Savannah at Fords’ Opera
House, for the benefit of Savannah Lodge

THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1885.
THE HOTEL PROJECT SOLVED.
- Negotiations B ought to a Point Whirl
May Result lu the Early Commence
ment of the Work.
).
Although nothing of particular momen
'• has been publicly announced in reference t<
the building of a new hotel in Savannah o
’’ late, the pn ject has been kept alive quietly
( by a few progressive public spirited citizens
wfo have been desirous of effecting th<
a object upon a purely business basis. Negoti
ations have been pending since the middleo;
December last with this sole purpose in view
a the most active mover being Captain D. G,
1 Purse, who has given considerable time and
■ attention to the matter. The Times is grat-
- ified to state now that the negotiations sc
- long under consideration have been brought
e to a focus by the submission of practical
plans, which, if adopted by the owners oi
_ t‘ e barracks site, will undoubtedly, from
the best information obtainable, result in
r the erection of a splendid hotel upon a pay
ing basi°.
; These plans were received to-day by
’ express by Captain Purse, and are offered
I by Mr. F. H. Orvis, of Jacksonville, the
( noted hotel proprietor, whose success in the
management of first class hotels is of na
tional fame. The plans provide for the
- erection of a magnificent structure, fire or
six stories in height, covering the entire
block and fronting on Bull street. The
plans are drawn from the suggestions
of Mr. Orvis, who has correct ideas
as to what a hotel, such
■ as is desired in Savannah should be, and a
representative of the Times had the oppor
tunity of inspecting them this morning. If
the propositions are approved, Mr. Orvis is
willmgto take a lease on the hotel for ten
. years—on terms which cannot but prove
, satisfactory and remunerative to the owners
of the property. Mr. Orvis is proba
bly the most successful and prominent
hotel manager in the country.
He has a very extended acquaintance
throughout the North, East and West. He
is now running the Windsor Hotel, Jack
sonville; the Putnam House, Palatka, and
the Equinox House, Manchester, Vt., the
two former during the winter season, and
the latter in the summer. He expresses
confidence in his ability to fill a new hotel
in Savannah if built on the plan suggested,
and will retain in our midst during the
winter season, a large class of the wealthy
people of the North, Who are in search of a
genial climate, and’ who are willing to pay
for comfort and convenience. There is no
estimating the benefit which would inure
'o Savannah by a sojourn of several months
he.' e of capitalists and manufacturers desirous
of making investments in real estate and
enterpris l s.
The whole question, as it is now presented,
is of easy solution. If the plans as submitted,
are adopted, the hotel can be built at a less
cost than by any other project yet presented,
and can be immediately leased to
the most prominent and successful hotel
manager in the country. In addition to the
sit*, about $50,000 in cash and the issue of
bonds to the amount of SIOO,OOO will be
all that is required. These bonds bearing
6 per cent perhaps less, can readily be
placed as the representative of the Times
was shown to-day undoubted evidence that
with the security offered, these bonds would
be promptly taken in New York. We will
have more to say on this subject shortly
and hope to be enabled then to announce
that the negotiations have been closed and
that the work will be commenced within a
brief time.
A BLOODY RENCOUNTER.
A Boy Badly Cut Will a Ch ese Knife.
Yesterday afternoon about three o’clock a
negro boy named Israel Williams, about
twenty-one years of age, employed as a train
hand on the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, between Jacksonville and this
1 place, walked into the grocery store of A.
Mendel, corner of Wheaton and Liberty
streets, and asked the clerx to let him t sea
clothes or shoe brush to brush his clothes off
with. He was allowed the use of it and went
to get it from behind the counter
when a young man named Joseph Vendig,
who had been employed there, but was not
at the time, told him to keep from behind
the counter. Israel did not think he had
any such right as he arrogated to himself,
and continued on his course to get the brush,
This incensed Vend ng, who undertook to
put him out. A fight ensued, which result
ed in the worsting of Vendig. While scuf
fling over the floor Vendig managed to seize
a large cheese knife in his left
hand and madea slash at Williams, striking
him on the head, and inflicting a cut about
2 inches long on the top of the cranium,
which, however,only penetra edto the bone
He quickly followed this up with another
lunge which caught Williamson the wrist
. just above the palm of the right hand, pen
etrating to the bone and inflirting a h >rri
ble gash, from which the blc d spurted free
ly. Several other thrusts were made, o eol
which cut the little finger of the same
hand to the bor.e. Had the knife not been
broken at the point it is doubtful if the
wounds had not been more serious than thry
were. At first it was thought Williams
would die from loss of blood, but Dr. Carson
was called and soon staunched the flow of
' blood and sewed up the wounds. He was
then conveyed to his house on the corner
of East Boundary and Liberty streets, where
he was left until he gets well. It is due
, to Mr. Mendel to state that he was not
present at the time of the difficulty
hence could not prevent it. Williams will be
out again in a week or 10 days at furthest.
. He is said to bear a not altogether angeiic
reputation as to good behavior, being inclin
ed to run roughshod over every one in his
way and was not on good terms with young
Vendig, having had on a former occas ; on
some hot words with him.

Soldiers who served in the Army of Texas
in the war with Mexico were entitled to
grants of bounty land ranging from 320 to
