Eek. G. Criticisms PrOvOl<es Reply.
Savannah, Ga, March 22-Editor
Morning News: EXC. seems to be
in great state of mental disquietude.
owing to the condition of the fire depart
ment. Such spirit of pure philanthropy
as he tries to show in the interest of
ALL" is almost too divine for this selfish
wicked world, were his motive not so APP
parent.
But, alas! things are not what they
SEEM" and he lost some of the "ilthy
lucre'' by the rice mill fire. AS he states
he has malice towards none" 1 will try
and accept that statement, for it would
be too unkind to even suggest such a mo-
tive as petty malice" Human nature
is so constituted that all see and judge
better in the affairs of other men than in
their own.
EXC. seems to know how the depart
ment should be managed. No boys or
toushs from Yamacraw (of course, there
are none in other sections of the city,
should be employed. He is evidently color
blind, as he desires that the men of the
fire department should not be arrayed in
purple and fine linen" and the apparatus
1t would be most advisable to put this
second Solomon in charge. The city
would certainly save by Diminishing the
present members of the service and by
buying perambulators and chairs on
wheels and place the relics of the volun-
teer department of 81 in charge. EXC.
would no doubt receive the notoriety he
seeks by being made chief. and, though
most of the members would have to be
rolled out in their chairs and have some
one to bring them their buckets of water
this would be incidental expenses Let it
be understood that no boys from Yama-
craw and none under 60 years of age need
apply under the new regime. Then the cit
liens of Savannah could rest In peace, Sc
cure in the knowledge that should their
property catch on fire 1t would certainly
be destroyed, and there would be no fos-
sill out of the fire service to criticise the
heroes of bygone days"
l would suggest that the authorities
put this wise man from the east" In
charge at once. and then the long-suffer-
ing, much-enduring Savannahians could
pick up the daily paper without finding
a column on the faults of this obnoxious
fire department.
So my dear EXC, be not disconso-
late, for II you will keep UP your contrI-
button to our papers, in which you dis
play so much knowledge of modern IRE
fighters, the authorities may interest
themselves enough to ascertain your
name. in which event your ability would
be at once recognized.
Now, just one thought for your re-
Election. THE easiest thing for the pub
lie to discover in you, and the hardest
thing for you to discover in yourself is
that you are growing. old, and defects in
mind, like those of countenance increase
with age" A Parting Shot

AUGUSTA NEWSPAPER CHANGE.
Mrs. MOOre's Mortgage on Plant
FOrecIOsed.

Augusta, Ga, March 22.-The Augusta
News will make its first appearance to-
morrow. and the Augusta Morning News
VIII not appear. Sheriff OConnor closed
up the latter concern to-day under fore
closure of mortgage held by Mrs. Celeste
p Moore. When the Morning News was
begun in September, Mrs Moore ad-
vanced the money for the purchase of the
plant in order to establish Editor Hal z.
Moore in business in Augusta. After the
paper had run for about thirty days in
the name of Hal p Moore, agent, the
members of the staff applied for a char
ter and formally organized the Augusta
Morning News Printing Company. Mr..
Moore desired to be elected general mana
yer and president, but was only elected
editor, while W. f. Mann, the artist, was
chosen president.
day or two later Mr. Mann and Edi-
tor Moore had a personal difficulty. and
the day following MIR. Moore had garnish-
ment served on advertisers in the paper
to reimburse himself for a bill he mad
paid the Associated Press the week be-
fore the Morning News Company was or
ganized.
That night Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Sanders,
another member of the staff, had some lot
words and the next day the garnishment
was dismissed. Since then Mr. Moore has
never been in the office
Under these circumstances it can be
seen that the relations of the parties
were not pleasant, and the members of
the company set about procuring a new
outfit. Recently Editor John Burke went
to New York and purchased a new Cox
duplex press and three Mergenthaler
type-setting machines and a building had
been rented on Broad street 1t is I'M
derstood that it was the purpose of the
members of the Morning News Company
to march out of the old office and leave
the place to be taken charge of by Mrs.
Moore, under her mortgage.
change in their plans were made by
the entrance of the sheriff to-day under
foreclosure of mortgage for $S.S75 held
by Mrs Moore. Under the terms of the
mortgage it was provided that the plant
should be insured for sum sufficient to
protect the mortgage and could be fore
closed at once if this provision was not
complied with. 1t is claimed by Editor
Burke that it was impossible to get enough
insurance on the plant for that, and he
had all the insurance he could get How
ever, the sheriff is in charge of the plant
under the foreclosure and tonight the
members of the staff are in the Tribune
office getting out the first edition of the
Augusta News. Editor Burke who fur
nishes the foregoing facts, says the new
press of the Augusta News will be ready
for business tomorrow night, and that
the Merganthaler machines were shipped
on Friday and will be here in a few days
In the meantime, they will get out the
paper in the Tribune Office as long as
| necessary.

CRAWFORD's ORDINARY.
His BOndsmen Makes a Second APP
pIicatiOn to Be Released.

His BOndsmen Makes a Second APP
pIicatiOn to Be Released.
Atlanta, Ca, March ga second appli-
cation was made to-day by Messrs. Fult-
relI and Walker for release from the
official bond of Judge Joel L. Matthews,
ordinary of Crawford county.
Some weeks ago Gov. Atkinson refused
to release the bondsmen, who had made
damaging charges against the moral
| character of the ordinary.
At present the courts of Crawford coun-
ty are attending to the charges against
the ordinary, and until they get through
the governor will not take up the case
again.
When they first asked for release the
bondsmen alleged that Judge Matthews
had been charging illegal fees and that
he had accomplished the ruin of young
girl employed in his Office as clerk. They
therefore did not think him fit man to
fill the Office and wanted to get off his
| bond, because they declared he could not
give another and would have to quit the
Office. Public opinion, they claimed, was
high against him for his conduct.
When the hearing occurred the bonds
men did not appear, but Judge Matthews
was represented by an attorney, and the
result of his denial of the charges was
that the governor declined to release the
| bondsmen.
Last week. however, Judge Matthews
| was indicted by the grand jury on ac-
| count of his relations with the young wo-
man in question, and upon trial was found
guilty and sentenced to a year in the
| chain-gang or to pay fine of $780, The
| ordinary protests his innocence, and will
| appeal to the supreme court.
He is a Primitive Baptist preacher and
| his wife is now an inmate of the lunatic
asylum al Milledgevlle He was a boarder
in the family of the young woman who
| figures in the case. AS soon as the courts
| get through with Judge Matthews Gov.
Atkinson will act on the petition of the
| bondsmen. If the present convic. ton
stands thew will be relea sed.

SIX CORPsEs ADRWT AT SEA.

New York, March 22.-The Cromwell
line steamer Creole, Capt eager, from

II O'Clock this morning, bringing addi-
tional news from the Inflated steamer St.
NaZaire. Capt eager reports that on
March p, in latitude 36:17, longitude 74:3O,
he passed a boat full of water. Shortly
afterward he determined to ascertain, if
possible, what it was, and turned about
for investigation. On reaching the boat,
he found it contained six dead bodies one
of them supposed to be that of a woman.
hook was made fast to the boats bow,
and when she was pulled up the bodies
washed out into the sea. They had ap-
parently been held fast by the seats of the
boat, as they were crowded under them.
1t was noted by the Creoles mate that
two of the small boats passengers were
colored. In the boat was foind a woman's
slipper, a child's sock, some clothing, a
nursing bottle, and several bottles of
fresh water, which was found to be in
good condition. There was also found a
small quantity of bread. The boat was
an old wooden one, and bore the mono
gram of the Compagnie Generate trans
Atlantique No. g. 1t was about forty feet
in length and could carry about forty pas

FLIGHT OF THE TOURISTS.
STILL GOING FLORIDAWARD IN
LARGE NUMBERS.

The Season Far Ahead of Last Year.
Hotels and the Railroads Have
Done n big Business-MOre visitors
Taking Advantage of the Stop
Overs at SaVnnnah-The Season
NenrinG Its Close.
Col. B. w. Wrenn, passenger traffic
manager of the Plant system. came up
yesterday from Tampa. where he has
spent most of the season.
Col. Wrenn says that, although the
tourists are leaving Tampa and other
parts of Florida very fast. on account
of the warm weather, others are COM
ing in on every train, and the crowd
OF northerners in the state is still large.
The season has been a profitable one for
the hotels and railroads. There have
been more tourists than there were last
year by far. and they have nearly all
come from the east. The west has fur
nished but few Forida's visitors this sea-
son.
Usually that section is well represented.
1t sent a crowd down that will compare
favorably in number with that from the
east, but this season it is evident that
something has been the matter to keep
them back.
Col. Wrenn thinks the financial strain
has been felt to a greater extent in the
west than in the east and ascribes the
disparity to the troubles in the former
section If that is the case then the east
must be thriving on the vests misfor-
tunes, for with more tourists in the south
than last season, and the west sending
but few, II follows that the east has sent
more south than it did last year.
"One notable fact with regard to the
tourist traffic this season." says Col.
Wrenn, lis that more of the northerncrs
are taking advantage of the stop-over
privileges at Savannah than l have ever
known. Why this is l cannot say but II
is nevertheless true"
Stop-over privileges for fifteen days are
allowed by the railroads on tourists tick
cts and when the travellers spend that
time in a place it is benefit to It. The
De Soto hotel has had a great many OF
this seasons tourists that have stopped
over both ways for several days.
