Confidence of Many.

Mr.. John ]. Bohan died at his residence,
No. 403 Hall street, east, last night. The

city who did not Know him, at least by
sight. Though occupying a subordinate
position, Mr.. Bohan enjoyed the respect
and confidence of the officials of the COM
pany in an unusual degree, as was in
stanced in more ways than one. Not only
the officers OF the company, but Ahe public
with whom he dealt had the greatest con-
hdence in his fidelity and integrity, and
the manner in which he discharged his
duties won him the respect of all. His
retirement, on account of I'll health, over
year ago was a source of great regret TO
the patrons of The company.
Owing TO his long and faithful service,
extending over thirty-two years, he was
placed upon a pension. which, unfortunate
ly. he did not live long to enjoy
Mr.. Bohan was a native of Limerick,
Ireland, but came to Savannah when IA
years OF age. and made this city his home.

its affairs before his health failed him.
He was a devoted member of the Catholic
Church, and took an active interest in its
work.

NARROWLY MISSED INJURY.
Mr.. II. w. witeover Had a Fortunate
Escape in an Accident.


Mr.. Hynan w. Witcover narrowly es-
capped serious injury yesterday afternoon
while riding his spirited horse He was
riding up Bull street about o'clock. AS
he reached Broughton at a pretty good
pace a negro sought TO turn into the
street from Bull. The driver made the
turn suddenly and his horse and Mr.. Wit
covers coilided.
One of the reins of Mr.. Witcover's bride
caught beneath the shaft of the negro's
team. The saddle animal could not, there
fore, be readily managed by mis- rider.
The horse reared and fell heavily on his
back, Mr.. Witcover receiving a severe fall
but being fortunate in not having the ami
nal fall upon him.
At first it appeared that Mr.. Witcover
was not hurt at all being as fortunate as
his horse. He arose and walked over TO
the sidewalk, where one or two friends
who happened to be standing near joined
him. The young gentleman began to grow
faint from his shock and went into Mr..
Fantinis store, where he lost conscious
ness. After few minutes he was re-
stored,

BENCH WARRANTS ON THE WAY.

shaIs of Defendants Districts.
It is believed that the bench warrants
for the arrest of the alleged conspirators
with Oberlln NJ Garter to defraud the
government, who have been indicted by
the grand jury of the federal District
Court at the present session, have already
been mailed to the marshals Of the dis
tricts in which the defendants reside and
that they will be served, probably, to-mor-
row.
There were no Developments in the case
yesterday. The Morning News has an
nounced the names of four of the defend
ants against whom indictments had been
found. Benjamin d. Greene, John +.
Gaynor Edward II. Gaynor and Michael
A. Connolly, and these are all that have
yet reached the public ear. The names
of the defendants in the conspiracy cases
are guarded with jealous secrecy by the
officers of the court, and although it IS
certain that several others have been in
dicted il is impossible to state their names
with any degree of positiveness.
The court win again convene and the

been taken the reason for the observance

GERS of the court in position to announce

BUSINESS FOR SCHOOL BOARD.
Holiday and Building Matters VIII
Probably Come Before 1t.

Probably Come Before 1t.
The meeting of the Board of Education
tomorrow night will be marked by the
effort to secure holiday for the school
children on next Thursday, which will be
the hundredth anniversary of the death
of George Washington Col George A.
Mercer. president of the board sanctions
the Idea of a holiday, though 1t Is said
there are two or three members who do
not favor 1t. Col. Mercer will propose
that the anniversary of the death of the
great patriot be observed by holiday.
Instead of a holiday, it has been sug-
gested that 1t would be possibly more fit
ting to have exercises in the several
grades III memory of Washington The
idea is that the children might be thus
brought to fuller and better realization
or the grandeur and worth of Washington
than If there were nothing more than a
holiday to commemorate the hundreslth
anniversary of his demise.
Another matter that may come before
the board is that of the Wells SQUARE
school building, an appropriation for which
was made by the grand jury That
money, $4,000, will not be available until
January, but 1t is believed the committee
appointed some time ago, with Mr.. Lee
ROY Myers as chairman. is about ready
The appropriation is not nearly sufficient
Tor the erection of such a building rs is
needed and desired. The Board of Edu-
cation owns the lot upon which II Is nro-
posed to erect the building, and none Of
the money, therefore, will have to be spent
on anything but the building. Yet there
will not be enough then.
Col. Mercer believes that the board cou,d
not do better than duplicate the Anderson
street School building on the Wells Square
lot. he Is confident that the Anderson
Street School is by far the most comfort
able and the best adapted 10 school pur-
poses of all In the city. To his mind. II
would be advisable to follow the plan of
the building in the construction of all that
may be decided upon in the future
The Anderson School cost $40. O0O exclu-
sive of the lot. Such a building now
would cost considerably more than that.
possibly $4,000, material and building sun
plies having advanced so In price. The
work once begun would soon have to be
discontinued. as II would not take long
to expend the first $4,000 the grand jury
appropriated for the purpose.
1t will be necessary to ask the grand
jury for another appropria ton. 1t is
thought II would be well 10 begin the
school building as soon as possible. so that
the board win be in a better shape, with
the work under way, TO secure a favorable
consideration of an application.
