THEY WANT 4 wHACK AT 1T.
KOhIer's Unsecured Creditors AlIege
Fraudulent Transactions.

The chances are there will be quite
fight in the Kohler case when it comes be-
fore Judge Falligant for a preliminary
hearing this morning.
Messrs. Nicolson & Mcclellan, A. L.
Alexander, w. H Wade, OConnor &
O'Byrne, R. M. Hitch and Charlton Mack
all and Anderson, representing the TN
secured creditors, filed bill for receiver
yesterday in the superior court, in which
it is plainly shown that they intend to
make a fight on the mortgages. The bill
is that of Michaels, Stern & Co., and
others VS.. D. Kohler and others, in which
claims are made by various unsecured
creditors amounting to nearly $1,000.
The bill alleges that ten mortgages were
fraudently made, and for the purpose of
defrauding the unsecured creditors out
of the property obtained from them. The
mortgages amount to about $4,000 or
more, and the unsecured creditors claim
the whole transaction was fraudent The
plaintiffs ask that a receiver be appointed
to take charge of the stock and assets in
the interest of all of the creditors, and
that the assets all be brought together for
proper distribution by the court The
unsecured creditors also ask that such of
their property az can be identified, be put
aside, and that it be returned to them by
decree of the court. Judge Falligant
granted the temporary restraining order
asked for, and set the matter for a hear
ing along with the other features of the
case at 10 o'clock this morning

TO CHANGE HOUSE NUMBERS.
Old Numbers VIII BE Taken Down
wherever 1t is Possible.

telegram was received yesterday by
Public Works Commissioner Wilink from
the National Enameling Company of Gin
cinnad stating that the house numbers
for Savannah would be shipped to-day.
The numbers are expected some time
next week. and the work of putting them
UP will begin at once. In putting up the
new numbers the old number signs and
plates will be torn down. Where the num-
bers are cut or painted in the glass tram
SONS over the doors this cannot be done,
and the old numbers win have to remain
until the householders see fit to change
them. The new numbers will be placed
above the doors, however In many in
stances house owners have very handsome
ornamental numbers blown in stained
glass transoms. These cannot be very
well altered at present, and will be allow
ed to remain.
Commissioner Willink is securing es-
Inmates of the cost Of furnishing street
signs, which are also to be put up shortly.
The signs, which will be used, will be on
the same style as the Benham patent,
which is a double sign, to be erected upon
posts al street corners, the two street
names being placed at right angles, one
above the other. 1t is proposed to place
two of these signs at each street inter-
section on diagonal corners. There are
about 500 street intersections in Savan-
nah and between 200 and ], 800 signs will
be required On some of the short streets
only one sign viii be placed at intersec-
ticns.
The old iron lamp posts remaining at
the street corners will be used to support
the street signs, but as there are prob
ably not over 100 of these lamp posts left,
the furnishing of poles will be consider
able item OF expense. A brief calculation
will give some idea of the number of
street intersections in Savannah. From
East Broad to West Broad inclusive there
are twelve streets and from River south TO
Anderson inclusive, there are 81 streets, not
including Houston and other short streets.
This makes a total of 372 street intersec-
tons in the heart of the city. If the streets
from Anderson to Twelfth were fully OPEN
ed up there would be 516 intersections from
the River to Twelfth.
In Yamacraw, Robertsville, the
Fort and Collinsville, there are
probably nearly 400 street intersections.
Allowing for streets not opened up there
are probably fully 800 street intersections
in the city. The loafer who undertakes
to stand on every corner in Savannah will
have to hustle, even if he takes a week
to do 1t in.

STORY OF A STOLEN DRESS.
Tracked by Clerks From the store
Where shopIifters Got 1t.

Tracked by Clerks From the store
Where shOpIifters Got IL.
Hattie Lawrence, oolored, was arrested
yesterday by order of Chief McDermott on
the charge of larceny She is charged with
stealing silk dress pattern from Gut
mans store on Broughton street, valued
at $40
Several weeks ago at the fall opening of
Gutmans store, a handsome silk pattern,
which had been among lot displayed,
was missed. 1t had not been sold and the
natural conclusion was that it had been
stolen. The pattern was Of unique design
and orders were given the employees of the
establishment to keep an eye out for it.
Yesterday morning a lady entered the
store wearing a silk waist of the same
pattern. She was followed to her home by
one of the employees of the store and the
detectives We're notified. One of the detec-
tives, who knew the lady, called upon her
and requested her to accompany him to the
police barracks. She was not charged with
stealing the material. Chief McDermott
asked her II she had not purchased it from
a colored dressmaker and the lady replied
that such was the case. She had purchased
it from Hattie Lawrence, at Price
and gave the time and circum-
stances. The waist only contained
six yards, while the stolen pattern con-
tanned sixteen yards. The detectives
were instructed to arrest the Lawrence
woman and search her house. They did
so and found there five handsome silk
dress patterns. Three of these were iden-
titled by Mr.. Gutman as having been
stolen from his establishment. The re-
mainder of the particular silk pattern
which led to the arrest was not discov-
cred.
The Lawrence woman told the chief a
long story about securing goods from
friends and relatives in the north be-
cause they could be purchased so much
cheaper there. She could not tell who
she purchased the silk pattern in question
from or of any of the circumstances con-
nected with it, except that it was deliv-
cred at her house at night, wrapped in
a brown paper parcel by a negro man
whom she did not know, and with only
her address on the bundle. The story
didn't go with the chief, however, and he
ordered her locked up.
The woman told where she had sold the
rest of the pattern and the detectives win
look it up. Chief McDermott is of the
opinion that she has been engaged in this
sort of work for long time The retail
stores lose a great deal during the year
by shoplifters and they could tell some
very queer stories if they would talk.
