the young lady was removed from the

brothers. who are Messrs. Michael and

ture dealers on State street, east.
Miss Jones was at the hotel to call upon
friend, Miss Williams of Bullock county
Miss Williams little brother was in the

BUSINESS Is LIVELY.
Stay of the EXcursiOnists Is Profit
able TO Merchants.

The excursionists have the city in their
hands. They were having great times all
day yesterday, and there was none who
did not seem to enjoy his stay to the ut
most. But very few have returned 10 their
homes thus far and it is probable that all
will stay the limit of their railroad tick
cts.
Bus ness was on decided boom on ac-
count of the excursionists being here in
such force 1t is probable that to-day will
be even better day with the merchants
than yesterday, as the majority of the
crowd that have any desire to do shop
ping will wait until the last day of their
stay to gather their supplies. A number
of the retail dealers declared yesterday
that their busness had been far better
ii an usual and they We're looking for
ward to a continuance of lively trade dur
ing the days the excursionists remain.
Many of the white excursionists spent
the day at the resorts. The several places
of interest attracted visitors. Tybee drew
the largest crowd, as several hundred
went down for a dip in the surf and an
experience of the novelties of the beach.
The visit to the island was feature of
the trip of the excursionists who went
down yesterday and their reports will
doubtless induce others to go to-day.
Night before last there were many of the
visitors who were forced to catch maps
as best they could on the Streets as there
was no room to be secured at any of the
hotels. Careful search of them all re-
suited in failure to find vacant bed after
II o'clock, and recourse TO the benches
in the parks was had. AS the weather
was warm, this was no great inconven-
fence. and the police disturbed none,
knowing Of the crowded condition of the
hotels.
The colored excursonists were in their
element, for the military parade yester-
day morning and the picnic in the after
noon at Lincoln Park were joyful events
for them. They had as much pleasure as
could possibly have been afforded them,
for such displays are ever dear to the
colored heart. Dancing and picnicking
was INDUCED in at the park until late
hour last night.

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.
Mr.. william j. Harry Passed Away
Yesterday Morning.

Mr.. William J. Harry, for more than
half a century citizen of Savannah,
died at his residence on Habersham street
yesterday morning at 1870 O'Clock Mr..
Harty was n years old and his death re-
suited virtually from old age, though an
attack of paresis through which he pass
ed a year ago took away much of his
strength and rendered him an. easy vic
tif to the dread destroyer.
He was born in Columbia, S C, but in
1872, when he was quite a young man,
came to Savannah. He considered himself
a Georgian in every sense Of the term
and has made Savannah his home since
he first set fuoI in the city. Upon his
arrival here. in connection with the late
John Mcmahon. he ran the city Hotel,
then the only hotel in Savannah. 1t was
situated on Bay street, where the whole
sale tobacco and cigar house of Lee Roy
Myers & Co. is now located.
Afterwa rds Mr.. Harry became a member
of the firm of McMahon & Doyle, whole
sale grocers, and before and after the
was in the wholesale hay and grain
business. For ten years he was teller of
the Southern Bank of the State of Geor-
gia. of which his former partner, Mr..
Mcmahon. had become president. About
fifteen years ago. when his sons had at
tanned years of discretion. they insisted
upon his retirement from active business.
and since that time he has lived a quiet
and secluded life
He was "a man who had few interests
outside of his home. and with his wife
and children he spent almost all of his
time. Modest and unessuming in dis
position and character, he made few warm
friends, but these he linked to himself
with hooks of steel.
Mr. Harry was twice married His first
wife, with two infant children she bore
him, died within a few years of the mar
riage. His second wife was Miss Mary
Eleanor O'Hara, of Canada. OF this mar
riage there have been seven children, of
whom six three sons and three daughters,
with their mother, survive the father and
husband. The children are Messrs. John
F., William j., and Joseph E. Harry and
Misses Marie, Nellie and Genevieve.
The funeral will take place from the
Cathedral of ST. John the Baptist at 10
O'Clock this morning. The honorary pail
bearers will be Capt. J. j. MCGOWAN, Capt.
Henry Blum, and Messrs Luke Carson,
II. F. Willnk, John Lyons, Daniel Hogan,
w. c. McDonough and James McGrath.
The active pallbearers will be negro men,
Mr.. Harty's family having determined
that it would be more considerable on their
part did they relieve their friends of the
performance of this last sad office.

BELIEVES IT WILL STAND.
Mr.. j. II. Williams Thinks North Car
OIina Election VIII Hold.

Mr.. J. p. Williams does not believe the
courts will interfere with the verdict of
the people on the constitutional amend
ment in North Carolina. For a long time
Mr.. Williams was a citizen of the old
North state, and from his knowledge of
conditions there, acquired before and af-
ter leaving, he is confident the result of
the election was for the best for North
Carolina.
While 1t cannot be told what will fol-
low in other states i'm the South as to
the negro franchise" said Mr.. Williams.
lit seems that conditions are ripe for the
change in North Carolina as was evil
denced by the very large majority of votes
cast in favor of the amendment. The fact
that the public will has been so over
whelmingly expressed on this question
would seem to indicate that there is lit
tie room TO take exception to 1t before
a higher tribunal. Powerful is the voice
OF the people. and the more so when II is
expressed by big majority"

ARGUING THE DEMURRER.
Creditors Want Receiver of Stevens
Clark Company Removed.

Arguments were heard by Judge Falli-
giant in the Superior Court yesterday upon
the demurrer filed by the defendants to
the petition of Charles Meyer. receiver of
the Stevens-Clark Company, against
Frank H. Clark and the Savannah Foun-
dry and Machine Company.
The suit was filed by the receiver at the
instance of certain creditors who obtained
an order from Judge Falligant directing
him to bring it. In essentials il alleges
that some $4,000 or $1,000 part of the as
sets of the Stevens-Clark Company, was
paid over by the defendants to f. C.
Clark, the father of Frank H. Clark, the
president of the company, shortly before it
went into the hands of a receiver, and that
this payment was in legal fraud of the
rights of the other creditors. While 1t is
undoubted that the claim held by Mr..
Clark was a valid and binding one, the
creditors assert that all should have par
ticipated equally and that no Partially
should have been shown.
The demurrer seeks the dismissal of the
petition on various technical grounds The
arguments yesterday were made by Col.
George II. Cam. in support of the de-
murrer, and by Mr.. Robert j. Travis in
opposition.
In the course of his argument, Mr.. Ira
Wis made a statement somewhat Sensa-
tioual. He said that il was impossible for
the receiver Mr. Mover. to represent the
interests of the creditors to the best adj
vantage as he was an officer of the Stew
vens-Clarke Company, and is an officer of
the Savannah Foundry and Machine Com
peny, which is its virtual successor. Mr..
Travis said the receiver was very much
more friendly to the interests of the Of
fcers of the latter company, against
whom the pending suit has been brought
than to the interests of the creditors of
the Stevens Clarke Company. Mr.. Travis
made various statements in support of
this position.
Then he announced that he intended
within a few days, to move the court to
have Mr. Meyer removed from the re-
ownership and some one appointed in his
place who would be interested solely in
seeing to II that the creditors received the
largest possible percentage of their
claims,
