ANTHONY FERNANDEZ DEAD.
Passing of Citizen With n Wide
CIRCLE of FriendN.

Mr. Anthony Fernandez died at 1880
O'Clock last night at his residence, Ala
Oglethorpe avenue, west after an illness
Of few days. Congestion Of the brain
is given as the cause Of death Mr. Fer
nandez had been complaining for some
time OF feeling worn out. He mad been
kept very busy throughout the last three
months aud seemed much fatisued at
times Monday morning he left his store
and went home, stating that he would
probably not come back soon as ne want
ed to rest. An hour later he was found
unconscious in his room. He never re-
covered consciousness. 1t had been recog-
nized from the first that there was title
or no hope Of his recovery. The funeral
viii take place tomorrow morning from
ST. Patricks Church, the interment being
at Cathedral cemetery, where his wife is
buried.
Mr.. Fernandez was one of the most
widely known men in Savannah. He mad
probably as extensive an acquaintance
ship in the city, and numbered as many
friends as any other citizen. OF quiet
manners, with a genial character liberal
Ia disposition, active minded and inclined
10 assist to the extent of his ability in
the development Of local affairs, he had
won the regard OF the large portion OIL
the community which came in contact
with him.
Born in Gibraltar, Spain, In 1885, he was
in his slxty-fourth year. Leaving Spain
youth he came to Savannah in 1852,
shortly after his arrival in the United
States lie was employed as a clerk in
the Pulaski House, and during part of the
war acted as manager of that hotel. Later
he became manager of the Pavilion Hotel,
occupying the present Chatham Academy
building. At the close of the war he en-
tered in the cigar business at Bull and
Broughton streets, and for thirty-four years
conducted a profitable trade at that stand.
His store was a gathering place for many
citizens, and Mr. Fernandez was well
known to the older well as the younger
generation of Savannah men.
Mr., Fernandez married New York
lady, who died about a year and a half
ago. Two daughters survive him, Mrs.
Samuel Ross and Mrs. Wallace Master
son. His brother Mr. John B. Fernandez,
who was connected with him in business

would tend to develop Savannah He

CERTIFICATES AL RIGHT.
Veterans Can Continue to Do Dusi-
mess Without Licenses.

The crippled and INDECENT Confederate
veterans who have been doing business
under the tax exemption act of 1897 have
not had the pins knocked from under them
by the amendments to the tax act adopted
by the last session of the legislature. At
least majority have not, though a few
VIII either have to scrape together the cash
with which to pay licenses or find some
other business under which they are ex-
empted from special taxes.
Judge Hampton L. Ferrill has been in
uoupt Tor some time as to what the posi-
ton of the Confederate veterans was I'M
DER the recent tax act. Apparently the
provisions of the act were against the vet
Grams and the instructions sent out to the
tax collectors did not clear up the doubt.
Judge Ferrill yesterday received from
Controller General Wright a copy of the
law adopted at the last session of the leg
lslature, amending the previous law relat-
ing TO tax exemptions. The amendment
makes some limitations to the privileges
previously granted in the way of tax ex-
emptions, but leaves the act in the main
unchanged. The limitations refer to the
running of billiard, pool and other tables
OF like character, dealing in futures, ped
ding stoves and clocks pawnbrokers bus
rods, the privilege of engaging in which is
denied 10 Confederate veterans except up
on the payment of the same license requir-
ed of other dealers in the same lines of
business.
The act as it now stands Is of interest
to many of the readers of the Morning
News, including a number of Confederate
veterans. The amended act permits any
disabled or INDECENT Confederate soldier,
or soldier of the Mexican, Creek, Seminole
and Indian wars, who is a resident of this
state, to peddle or conduct business in any
town, city, county, or counties of the
state, without paying license for the priv
ilege of so doing
A certificate from the Ordinary of any
county, stating the fact of his being such
disabled or INDECENT soldier, is made suff1-
Gent proof of his right to do business I'M
der this act. The act provides that this
section shall not authorize peddlng or
dealing in ardent or intoxicating drinks,
or running a billiard, pool or other table
of like character, or dealing in futures, or
peddling stoves, or clocks, or carrying on
the business of pawnbroker or auctioneer,
or dealing in lightning rods. It is further
provided that the privilege so conferred
shall not be transferred or used by any
other person.

ShOIes Directory Census Figures of
the City's Inhabitants.

ShOles directory census Figures OF
the City's Inhabitants.
The city directory for 1899 will make its
appearance tomorrow. 1t is the twentieth
of the series for Savannah that Mr.. A. E.
presses of the Morning News, and is as
handsomely gotten up as It's predecessors
have been.
There have, of course been many
changes by the compilers of the directory
since their last issue made it's appearance.
For such changes a directory is a good in
dex, and the interesting information that
Mr.. Sholes gives is only arrived at by hard
work and careful comparison.
There were 25,235 names, H571 of whites
and 1864 of colored people in last year 5
directory. In addition to these, there were
the given names of 1884 married women,
making a total of 1868 names.
This feature of putting the Christian
names of married women after the names
of their husbands originated with Mr..
Sholes, and he embodied it In his volume
of 1898 Since then he has seen several
directories that have taken it up, and II is
safe to say it will soon become a feature
with all directory compilers. The names of
married women are found of great assist
ance in many lines of business.
The volume that is about to make Its
appearance has 26, 2SS names, of which A.
906 are of whites. and II. 800 of colored peo-
pie. There are 565 more married women's
names than last year, showing that there
are 8,949 of the men in the directory mar
ried. The grand total of names for the
year is So, III, being an increase of 1,55S.
OF the names that were in the directory
of 1898, 1880 have disappeared. while S183
new names are embraced. Among those
who have remained in the city there have
been 4,525 changes or removals, thus max
ing a total of 12,70S changes, or almost 80
per cent.
Mr.. Sholes says It is the custom in most
cities to figure the population by multiply
Ing the number of names in the directory
by three. This, he says, however, expe-
rience has proven is too great a multi
pie to use for Savannah and 2 3-5 would
be the proper one. This means that
there would be total of 81, 400 people in
the city if the book did not take in a por-
ton of the suburbs. Mr. Sholes estimates
that 5000 names should be substracted as
those of residents of the suburbs given in
the directory. This would show accord
ing to his estimate, that Savannah has
a population of So, 460.
Mr.. Sholes says: ''The people of Sa-
NdAAdu nave NdtShSu tlliS DoOh SioW year
by year from the little volume of 1879, with
II SIC names, and less than 500 pages of
big type, to its present dimensions, where
ID presents more names than the city had
population then, but from constant asso-
citation, have been unconscious of the
change"
The features of last year are continued
in the directory of this year. The street
directory is given as before this being an
adjunct that is greatly valued by Mr..
Sholes He was the first to incorporate
the names of the stretes in the city di-
rectory. One hundred and eight pages are
devoted to the streets this year and the
occupants of 1864 houses are given.

ALLEGED 4 FALSE CLAIM.
Lieut.. Hayden's Charge Against I'm
dertaker Dixon.


Undertaken William T. Dixon was ar
rested yesterday on a warrant sworn to
before United States Commissioner Lewis
charging Mr.. Dixon with causing a false
claim to be presented against the govern
ment for preparing the body of Private
William Gault, who died a the Savannah
Hospital last October, for burial The
body was sent to Texas.
According TO the report made by Lieut..
Hayden, Mr.. Dixon presented a bill to him
to be paid by the government, charging
for a coffin and for services rendered,
when as a matter of fact, 1t is asserted,
no coffin was furnished. A private sol
der from Tybee who accompanied the
body to Texas, reported to the lieutenant
that Mr.. Dixon had told him the body
would be put in a coffin, and the coffin
in a zinc-lined box. The soldier said he
was told not to have the box opened at
it's destination. 1t was opened there by
relatives, however, and according to aft
davits sent to Lieut. Hayden, the box
contained no coffin, but simply the body
wrapped in a sheet The warrant was
based on the allegation that Mr. Dixon 5
claim was false, because the coffin had
not been furnished.
Mr.. Dixon gave bond to appear before
the United States commissioner Monday,
when the case will probably be heard.
When seen last night he declined to make
a statement, preferring to let the whole
matter come out at the hearing.

West End Railroad TO Put in Its Pc

The parties interested in the extension
of the West End Railroad into the city
will present their petition for rights of way
to the incoming Council at an early date.
Inasmuch as Mayor Myers, in his letter
of acceptance, stated that he believed in
encouraging any proper enterprises of this
character, they naturally look for more
favorable reception than was accorded
their petition by the outgoing board.
1T is our hope and belief that the new
board will deal with us more fairly and
more Justly than its predecessors" said
S. l.. Lazaron, Esq, yesterday. Our en-
terprise is in no sense a speculative one.
We propose to do what We ask the City
Council the right TO do lay tracks in the
city and operate street car system that
will be of service 10 the community We
ask to be allowed to put down about two
miles of track at first and hope 10 ex-
tend it later Ours Is purely a legitimate
project, and not one to force others to buy
us out. There was an antagonism against
us in certain quarters i'm the old board
which made 1t impossible for us to accom-
plsh anything. The new board, we be-
lieve, viii look at the matter with an eye
10 the publics interests, and will give us
what assistance it properly can

ROLLING AROUND ON SKATES.
The Fad Seems to BE Taking a Firm
Hold on the. Children.

Many a pair of roller skates must have
been brought to Savannah by Santa Claus
on his last visit, for the number of chill
dren that may be seen each day with the
attachments affording amusement and
swift progress Is astonishing. The fad
seems to have sprung up since Christmas,
and from this it is judged that the skates
must have been received as presents at
that time.
The asphalt furnishes nice skating sur
faces for the children, and their skates
roll smoothly and swiftly. Many of them
make trips down into the business portion
of the city on their skates.
The little girls seem more devoted to the
pastinne than the boys, though there are
not a few of them to be seen with their
skates If the fad among the children
continues it is possible that some enterpris-
ing man will rig up skating rink some
where.

will change the license of money brokers.
which was reduced at the last meeting of

the aldermen-elect do not see why the

the license reduced, but it was NOT sure
they would succeed in doing so. Tbev
