Steamer Wilmington Ordered to be Ex-
anined on the Dry Dock.
Steamer Wilmington has been ordered
by the local inspectors to be taken out on
the dry dock so she can be examined.
The local inspectors have been instructed
to have her examined here, though she
belongs to the Portland district. The
order came from the Portland board, but
probably Supervising Inspector Birming-
ham Is responsible for it originally,
as he made visit to this district
and Portland short time ago and
it was rumored in San Francisco " hen he
started that the object of his trip was to
have the Wilmington ''hauled over the

passenger service over two years ago by

spector, Capt. Lubbock, took it upon him.
self to give her a license again. The local
board did not follow the matter up, so she
has been carrying passengers ever since.
AS she Is III no better condition nov than.
she was then it seems probable that she
may be condemned again.

RULED OUT BY THE MINORITY.

Another Interesting Phase to the
Thunderbolt Fence Question.
The troubles among Thuuderbolts law
makers are getting in a more perplexed
condition every day. It viii be remembered
that the first rupture occurred about the
right OF the Electric railway to extend its
tracks along the bluff to Desvergers' point,
which resulted in Mayor Fennell and Com
missioner Desvergers retiring from the meet
ing and the granting by the other commits
sioners, Ambos, Reitz and Wilson, of a right
of way to the Coast lime railroad, followed
by the pushing out OF fences along the bluff
by Commissioner Ambos and Capt. John
ston.
The first meeting OF the board since that
time was held night before last AID
proved to be a highly interesting one.
Mayor Fennell called up the fence question,
and, after consultation with Commissioner
Desvergers, decided that Commissioners
Ambos, Reitz and Wilson we're interested
parties, and therefore not entitled to vote
They protested, but to no purpose, as the
other two declared the present. fences to be
nulsances, aud ordered the town marshal to
move them back to their original position.
The dissenting majority does not intend to
allow the fences to be moved back IL there
is any law TO prevent such action.
The marshal has not taken any action
yet, but when he does there will be some in
terestiug scenes at the popular suburban
resort.
President Collins of the Electric railway
was asked if he would instruct his track
at once along the bluff in case the action
Of Messrs. Fenuell and Desvergers in
ordering back the fences is upheld, but he
was not prepared to answer the question.

Business Men to Decide the Matter at
To-Night's Meeting.
at meeting of the directors of the board
OF trade yesterday a. c. Harmon, I. G.
Haas and Raymond Judge were appointed
q committee to represent the board at the
meeting OF the business men at the De Soto
to night, 10 arrange for the deep water eel
ebration this fall The meeting will prob
ably not be a large one, on account Of the
absence OF a number of those interested
from the city, but considerable interest is
being taken In the movement. Decisive
steps will probably be taken to arrange for
the celebration.
There are many advantages connected
with a celebration during the fall, while
there are also some reasons which will be
advanced why the present season is not
propidous for any kind of celebration. The
gentlemen VINO are to decide the matter are
veil known for the interest they take In
all public questions and their decision will
be satisfactory TO the public at large and
10 the business interests of tle
city.
Several suggestions have already been
advanced as to the kind OF celebration and
manner Of holding 1t. but the first question
TO decide Is whether 1t Is advisable to have
one at all, after which the committees who
will be delegated TO carry out the details
oan canvass what is best calculated to
thoroughly advertise Savannah and her
facilities and Of sufficient merit to draw q
large crowd at this season OF the year.

A BOOM IN "BLIND TIGERS. ="

The County's Failure to Grant LII
censss Responsible For 1t.
The county commissioners refused this
year to issue licenses to sell liquor in the
county outside OF the limits Of Savannah
and the incorporated towns
There was considerable discussion in re-
gard to the matter at the time Commits
sioners Walker, Read and Smart opposed
issuing licenses, Commissioners Meinhard
and Estlll favoring their issue to such APP
plicants as had the Endorsements required
by law. The voice Of the majority OF CON-
missioners prevailed, and the result was
that to all Appearances the suburban poT-
ton Of Chatham county was made ultra
prohibition IL was in appearance, how
ever, only, because, instead OF stopping the
sale Of liquor, the granting OK licenses
resulted in the establishment or numoerless
"blind tigers" and the selling Of liquor
without any revenue TO the state or county
has been going on, according to reports, on
an extensive scale.
Some shopkeepers, It is said. who formerly
took out licenses now sell liquor on the sly,
and quite q number Of negroes make bust
ness Of retailing whisky from bottles and
jugs. When the shopkeepers paid for the
privilege Of selling they took good care that
there should be no Legitimate competition,
and promptly informed on any who sold
whisky without license. Now there is no
one to prevent this illicit traffic, and all
who sell are banded together by a common
tie TO evade the law.
The matter is one that should be looked
into by the proper authorities and active
steps taken to enforce the law against these
Illicit traders. or the commissioners should
grant licenses where applicants comply with
the law,

AGAINST BARKEEPERs.
The Knights of Pythias Grand Lodg
Asked to Exclude Them.

The Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge
Asked to Exclude Them.
The Pythian grand lodge, which is in
session at Kansas City at its session last
Friday considered a resolution Of interest to
Savannah knights and offered by Supreme
Representative Merry Of Minnesota, to bar
from the order saloonkeepers and bsrtend-
ers. The resolution presented by the Min
nesota representative was as follows:
WHEREAS, The time has arrived when this
supreme lodge should declare Itself In no IN
certain language In regard TO the admission OF
saloonkeepers and bartsnders to membership
in the order; therefore, be il
Resolved. That all persons known as ealoon-
keepers and bartenders are hereby declared in
eligible TO membership ia the order.
ResOlUed, That this legislation shall in no
wise affect the right OF any member Ia the
order Or the admissi bility OF any in possession
OF properly granted withdrawal cards.
Realized, That this legislation is hereby de-
clared 20 be the universal law governing the
previously enacted by grand jurisdictions in
that benRlf
ResoIUed, That ali legislation previously en-
acted By this supreme lodge in regard to the
exclusion OF saloonkeepers and barkeepers Is
hereby repealed.
The resolution had its origin in the dis
cussion OF the case OF the Chicago lodge,
which permitted the sale Of liquors at sn
entertainments given by it. The resolution
evoked warm discussion and met with
considerable opposition, it being declared
that the resolution was a direct afYront to
many members OF the order engaged In the
liquor traffic. 1t was finally decided to
leave the matter entirely to the grand
lodges Of the various states, and it was sd
mitted that this means the death Of the
movement
At the same session the interesting appeal
case Of Theodore A. Crawford from the de-
cision Of the grand lodge Of Louisiana was
heard. Crawford was q member Of Lex
ington lodge OF New Orleans, from which
he was expelled on the accusation of a fell
low knight that he was of colored blood,
born Of a slave. His first trial was before
the subordinate lodge, by which be was
acquitted. His accuser appealed the case
to the grand lodge Of the state, which re-
yersed the decision OF the subordinate lodge
aud expelled Crawford from the order.
Crawford 10 turn appealed to the supreme
lodge from the decision of the grand lodge
Of Louisiana. Yesterday his appeal was
sustained and be was restored TO member
ship In the order. He disproved the story
that he was Of oolored blood, which prob
ably originated from the fact that he, like
many others OF southern birth, was nursed
by a colored woman,
