-FOUR STILL AT LIBERTY.
Alleged Conspirators Refuse to Come
I'm and Surrender.

-Four of the alleged conspirators to de
fraud through The use OF the m ais. who
were indicted al the last session of the
grand jury of the Federal District Court
are still at liberty. These are W. L. Jones'
]. S. Wheeler. Jr., Charles B. Rewis ami
J. ". HarreI. all Of whom the government
agents say are among the leaders of The
alleged conspiracy.
Ii seems rather remar kable in view of
the fact that the men are known to be in
the country in which they live ana are
not supposed to be making any very sue
cessfU effort at concealment. that hey
should have remained tor SO long a time
al liberty. The usual activity of Tire
United States authorities would warrant
the conclusion that before this they W1uh
have had the quartetle behind the bars.
The surprise a the non-arrest of any OF
these men is strengthened by the thought
that the post masters IN all of the county
towns are required TO make immediate re-
ports of the presence If either Of them in
their baiwick and are liable 10 suspea-
sion or dismissal from the service for
failure to report any violation Of postal
regulations coming under their obseIv4-
ton. Ii is not commonly known whether
the department has seen fiji 10 offer The
reward that is usual III Important cases
of this character.
The difficulty of securing evidence of
the conspiracy, If one exists, grows strong
er with each day Of the continued liberty
of the alleged conspirators. Ii may be
that they are suffered to remain al liberty
to the end that they may impicate Others
in the alleged offeuses
Rich developments in this case are soon
expected. 1t is said that large number
of other men in the same section of the
state are under surveillance for the crimes
with which Tyson and his co-defendants
are charged. and that The evidence against
them is not light

INSPECTING ACADEMY WALLS.
Architect Urban VIII Decide Wheth-
er They Are Fit to he Used


No meeting of the board of trustees of
Chatham Academy was held yesterday
The president of the board, Col John
Screven, is III and was unable to attend
It was particularly desired that Architect
Urban Should present his report upon a
matter which he was asked by the board
few days ago to investigate. To re-
ceive that report it would have been nee
essary 70 postpone he meeting had Col
Screven been wen enough 10 attend
Mr.. Urban's professional opinion was
asked as to the condition of the walls left
standing about the ruined portion of the
bui,d ng. It is conceived by the board
that The arbitrators must have considered
the walls as ia for the rebuilding to go
on without their being torn away for new
ones. member of the board said yester-
day that the arbitrators must have be-
lieVed the walls in good enough condition
10 admit Of their being used. The board
is not so sure of thai, and is not ready to
accent the insurance fixed upon by the
arbitrators. if II should be thought by Mr.
Urban that the walls are 100 unsound to
enclose the restored building.
II was the opinion of the member of the
board that the building Is about two
thirds destroyed. The total insurance was
$4,000 He reasons from this that The ar
btrators figured out that the walls are
not damaged. If N is Mr.. Urban's and
other experts testimony that the walls
are not safe for rebuilding it is proba be
that some modification OF the finding Of
the arbitrators will be allowed.
Messrs. Eason and Rabey representing
the trustees and the insurance companies
respectively. as arbitrators are both CON
tractors 1t Is understood that either Of
them IS willing to restore The building for
the insurance they allowed. which was
about Sl3 $50. Another contractor has said
he would undertake to restore IL as it was
before the Ere for Sl2000.

POSTAL RECEIPTS TOP NOTCH.
1899 THE BIGGEST YEAR IN THE
POSTOFFICE'S HISTORY.

The Total Receipts at Savannah for
the Year From All Sources Were
SI3O,375-This Is About $4,000 in
Excess Of the Year Bef0re-A
Steady Increase in Receipts Not
SvIthstanding the soldiers No Long
er Contributed Their Share-POstal
Receipts Reliable Index OF Bust
ness ana an Evidence OF SaVan-
nah's Growth.
The gross receipts Of the Savannah posi-
Office for the year just ended We're $l30,3i5.
The receipts are the largest OF any year
in the history of the postofliee, even eX-
ceedinE 1y a few thousands those OF the
previous year. which were about $4,000,
The receipts We're increased somewhat in
the first quarter Of the year by the pres
enee of the soldiers which were being
mustered out here, but The Increase from
The same source in the last quarter of 1888
was even heavier Postmaster Doyle re-
ports that in spite of the fact that the
soldiers are no longer here to swell the
postoffice receipts, that me receipts have
shown a steady increase over the previous
year
The governments fiscal year begins
July l. and if the present rate of increase
is maintained for The balance of the year
the showing will be a very satisfactory
one. The fact that the receipts during The
last few months have slightly exceeded
those of the same mouths of the previous
year, when there were l5,o0o or more sol
diers here helping to swell the stamp sales,
is very satisfactory indication Of the
steady increase in Savannah business.
The receipts by quarters during 1899 were
as follows: First quarter. $Si 09i.S4; sec
ond quarter. $2s.S9 %. third quarter, $50,
24S 3; fourth quarter, SCI no 10; total. $780,
S75. The receipts for the last fiscal year,
ending June 80. 1899. were $3.50, 1885, as
against s116924.4 40 for the previous fiscal
year.
The absence of the soldiers is felt, how
ever, as is shown by a comparison of the
sales of stamps cards ana envelopes dur
ing December, 1899. and the same month
of the previous year the figures being
81, sO4. 81 for December 1898. as against &c.
1856 for December, 1899 For The same
month in 1897 the sales of stamps cards
and envelopes amounted 70 50, tS1.34. In
December 1889, the sales amounted 10 So
eeo.Se, showing a gain of about 90 per cent.
in ten years, or n gain Of nearly l03 per
cent, If compared with the previous year.
The postofiice receipts furnish the most
reliable index of a city's business. aud the
fact that the receipts at Savannah have
steadily increased each year is Ghe best
evidence Of the era lual. but steady in
crease in the business of the city.

AGAINST PAYING IT'S CITY TAX.

I'm Injunction Case.


The injunction suit of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Raj way
against the Mayor and aldermen of the
city of Savannah was partially argued in
the Superior Court on yesterday. Tie

and Mr. Pope Barrow of Barrow q Os-
borne, counsel for the street railway sys-
TEN, for that corporation. A ten porary
Injunction i'm the case was granted by
Judge Falligant some time ago. and it was
on the question OF whether or not this Mas
to be made permanent that the hearing
and arguments were had on yesterday.
The objection made by the street rail
way is to the manner in which the city
taxes on its property are levied and al
tempted to be collected. The city
taxes the railway on each linear
mile Of track within the cor
porate Limits, at the rate of StOO pcr
mic, and on each car used by the company
within the city at the rate of $25 per car
These taxes, the railway claims. are over
and above the property tax which Is re-
turned by the company and collected by
Ihe con lloiler general Of the state, the city
getting its proportionate share.
Mr. Barrow, in his argument to the
court recommended that the method EMPLOYED
by the city was In effect double taxation
was without legal warrant or authority
was unconstitutional. null and void The
company, insisted Mr. Barrow. does moi
think II owes the taxes the city Is trying
