HOT THROUGH THE SOUTH,

Savannah was not the only place in the
country that suffered from unusually warm
weather yesterday.
The weather reports for Maryland, Dis
trict OF Columbia, western portions Virginia
and the Carolinas and Northern Georgia
show that the day was the warmest on
record over these sections for this season Of
the year. The following are some of the
maximum temperatures, with their rela-
ton to the highest previously recorded
during the second decade of February, viz.
Baltimers, Tag; Washington, TAI; Lynch
burg, 7A1s: Raleigh, 1856; Chatta ooga,
1872; Atlanta, 76i'. The temperature
has been over co. above the average over
these districts for the past two days, the
greater departure being at Washington
City, where at a. m. the temperature was
&C. or 49, above the mean. A decided fall.
constituting cold wave, will occur over the
Atlantic states, from the Carolinas to
Maine, by this morning.
COLD IN THE WEST.
While the south was sweltering with heat
yesterday the west northwest and lake
region was frozen hard and stiff. The
freeze ext ended to the very edge Of the
southern states. Memphis reporting $50 as
the minimum at that point.
The thermometer was down to TO- at
Chicago and 20s at st. Louis The average
in the Ohio valley was about 2os, and in
the Upper Mississippi valley the tenn
perature ranged from O. to 100. 1t is
general cold wave throughout that
section that is moving eastward and
southwark, but will hardly have a per-
ceptible effect as far south as Savannah.
Threatening weather is predicted here
to-day, with some probability of rain and
slightly cooler.

Collector McGowan to Make a Last
Call Tomorrow.
A MORNING News reporter inquired of
Tax Collector McGowan yesterday how the
special taxes are coming in.
"A large number of liquor dealers have
registered and should say fully 95 per cent.
Of those registered have paid" he replied,
"bus there are some who seem Indifferent
and pay no attention to the law prescribing
when their taxes should be paid. In regard
to the other special taxes, such as those on
photographers, auctioneers, etc., very few
have paid up. The best showing it this re-
spect is made by the dealers In pistola and
dirks"
What measures do you intend adopting
to hasten the colleotionm
II will give q last notice to all parties
liable in to-inorrow's MORNING News, and
then proceed as the law directs in regard to
those who still neglect to SETTLE"
Suppose one who is liable to one of these
taxes does not respond to this notice, what
happeosp
Capt. MCGOWAN quoted from the statute:
Amy person failing to register with the
ordinary, or having registered fails to pay
the tax, shall be liable to indictment for a
misdemeanor," and added: my duty ends,
OF course. when the names are presented to
the grand jury. The solicitor general then
takes charge of the matter"

JUNE WEATHER IN FEBRUARY.
People went around the streets perspiring
IN their heavy winter clothes and feeling
that there was nothing in life worth living
for except to keep cool 1t took all the
energy out OF a man who had to move
around much. The day was a dull one, as
people kept of the streets as much as
possible The soda water stands did good
business.
IL Sunday is as hot as yesterday was,
heated and thirsty mortals will be abso-
lutely at the mercy of the weather and will
only be able to sit around in the shade and
swear at Mayor McDonough's enforcement
of the ordinances.
The temperature yesterday was 10
higher than has been previously recorded
for February since 1871, or since the estab-
hshment of the signal station in Savannah.

In half century.

1t Was Filed All Right But Yves Not
Forwarded to Atlanta.
Tax Collector McGowan was quite put
out yesterday at being reported as failing
to have qualified, and that his Office, under
the law, would probably be declared vacant
and o new election ordered.
Capt. MCGOWAN went before the county
commissioners last Friday, qualified aud
fled his bond, but through an oversight the
bond was not forwarded to the controller.
1t was quite surprise to Capt. McGowan
when he received a telegram from Controller
General Wright Tuesday night, saying
that bis bond had not been
aied. he called on Capt. Dillon,
clerk OF the county commissioners, and
made inquiries why the bend had not been
forwarded. Capt Dillon at once wired the
controller that Capt. McGowan's bond had
been filed and wenld DO forwarded at onca.
Capt MCGOWAN has written to the con-
troller stating that he qualified in ample
time, and that it was through no fault of
his that the bond had failed to reach the
capitol. He felt hurt at the idea that peo-
pie would get the impression that
be was negligent in his bust
ness methods. Any one who has
had dealings with the tax collectors office
would never believe anything like that.
1t was the first time such thing has hap
pened since Capt. McGowan has held office.
1t was simply caused by an oversight,
however. Capt. Dillon's telegram to the
controller general righted matters
