A prominent gentleman yesterday was
going over the history Of the campaign
that resulted in the departments choice
of Savannah as the place to be favored
with all that the encamDment of troops
and the coming and going of transports
meant, and to the Pilots Association he
gave much of the credit that is due for
the selection. The pilots of another city
that was being considered had given a
price that was regarded as very low.
Those of Savannah were so anxious to
see the city successful in her efforts for
the business that they agreed to meet that
or to allow the government to name its
own price. II is said upon this action of
the pilots the question hinged just al that
time and the department officials decided
to make 1t Savannah when they received
the news of what the association had
agreed upon.

MAY FIGHT THE WILL.
Gibbes' Heirs May Contest the $780,
600 Art Bequest.

Gibbes' Heirs May Contest the $780,
600 Art Bequest.
1t is reported from Charleston that
Messrs. a. M. and C. a. Gibbes, who are
the heirs to the bulk of the fortune of the
late James S. Gibbes, will contest the be-
quest in the will of the latter of 100000
for the establishment of an art gallery in
Charleston on the ground OF the indefinite
ness of the bequest.
The section of the will containing this
bequest does not bequeath the sum to the
South Carolina Art Association, but names
three citizens of Charleston as trustees of
the bequest and expresses the hope that
the citizens of Charleston will raise by
public subscription the sum of at least
$4,000 to be added to the amount be-
queathed for the purposes named The
will was evidently written a number of
years ago, as the late F. w. Dawson,
whose death is still well remembered is
named as one of the trustees.
The firm of Trenholm, Rhett & Miller
of Charleston represent the Gibbes estate
and it was rumored that this firm would
contest this bequest for the heirs A mem
Der of the firm who was seen about the
matter declined to either affirm or denv
the rumor. Messrs. Gibbes are in New
York and no informatio could be obtained
here about the case.

from down about Genoa of how an Old
mule tracked some escaped convicts and
lead to their capture. Five prisoners e-
capped from Savage & Co.'S place, few
days ago, and a possee was formed TO pur-
sue them. An old mule, which had been
in similar service often before, was one
of the animals used by the party. When
the chase was started this old mule put
its nose to the ground and started off
Just as a track-dog would have done. The
chase was kept up for two days and The
fugitives were caught some distance be-
low Lake City. Members of the party
say that the mule did excellent service in
tracking them and that they would have
escaped but for the animals seeming pow
ers.
