A Neat and Comfortable New House
Recently Thrown Open to the
PuhIfe

A Neat and Comfortable New House
Recently Thrown Open to the
Public.
Located on the corner of West Broad
and Harris streets, almost opposite the
Central depot, is one of the
neatest and best appointed of
Savannah's many hotels. The
building, which is of pressed brick, three
stories high, was only recently completed
and its location makes it very conVen-
lent for the travelling public.
The fifty sleeping apartments are fur
nished with brand new oak furniturene
linen, electric call bells electric lights
and all other conyeniences usually found
in first class up-to-date hotels, and 1t is
indeed a model place for the general ira
Yelling public. Each floor is supplied with
hot and cold baths, and on the first tioor
will be found a handsome barber shop,
under the nanagement of that excellent
tonsorialist, Mr. Roger Kennedy, also a
well appointed cafe, which is under the
management of that excellent caterer, Mr..
]. H. Yengst
Mr.. NJ j. Patterson is the proprietor
of this new house, and it can be truth
fully said that he is a royal host. lie
has certainly left nothing undone which
would add to the comfort of his guests,
and with his excellent corps of assistants,
he will no doubt make great success OF
his new place. The table is supplied with
everything that the market affords, and
the service is all that can be desired,
which, coupled with all the other conven-
fences, makes the hotel second to none.
Street cars pass the door every five min
utes, going to any part of the city, and
to those who do not care to ride it is only
about five minutes walk to the business
center of the city.
Mr.. Patterson has placed the rates with
in reach of all, SIS to $500 per day, and
he is justified in asking a share of the
public patronage. Stop at the Union while
in Savannah and regret will never be
felt.-ad.

PARSONS ESTATE WOUND UP.
Beneficiaries Get Their Share and
Executors Are Discharged.

The old litigation, involving the will of
Mrs. Sarah VI. Parsons and the contest
for the possession of her property, came
TO an end in the Superior Court yester-
day, when a final consent decree was
granted. winding up and disposing of the
whole matter.
Under the viii, 1t will be remembered,
DR.. S. C. Parsons, the husband of the tes-
tatrix was almost totally disinherited, and
the property left to Miss Elizabeth X.
Mas of California, a niece of the dead
woman. After an adventurous career in
the courts, DIR. Parsons and Miss Mas
finally came to an agreement, in accord
ance with which they were to divide the
estate equally. 1t amounted to something
over $4,000.
When this amicable composition Of che
family differences was effected everybody
thought that an end had come to the lit
igation. Unfortunately it hadn't. Some
of the real estate chat had been owned
by Mrs Parsons was advertised and sold
for distribution and of one piece Mr.. 7. H.
Mcmillan became the purchaser al auc-
ton. bidding $4,000. Afterward Mr.. Nc
MILAN refused TO receive the property, con-
tending that some of those Interested IN
it's sale had attended and bid upon the
property for the purpose of making 1t

brought otherwise, and that this render
ed the sale to him illegal. The executors
thought otherwise, and Judge Falligant
sustained their contentious. Recently the
Supreme Court of the state to which trl-
bunal of last resort an appeal had been
taken, affirmed the decision of Judge Fal-
ligant.
The decree just rendered was upon the
application of the executors of the Will,
DR.. r. B. Harris and Messrs. r. III. Ia
tenn and John G. Butler. to be discharged
from their trust The final return of re-
ceipts and disbursements filed by the ex-
ecutors with their petition for discharge
showed that Miss Mas and DR., Parsons
had already been paid S2,1S1 each. Under
the new and final decree they have now
been paid the further sum of $672S each,
and they are to have also two lots in the
town of New Utrecht, New York.
Mr.. Mcmillan has been required to pay
the $4,000 for the lot on Liberty street,
with interest from the date of his pur-
chase, and has been refunded the amount
of the rents since that time. The estate
has been satisfactorily wound up, the ex-
penses of the litigation in which it has
been interested has been paid, executors,
auctioneers and attorneys have come in
for their shares and the executors have
been finally discharged and relieved of
their trust

ANTS A SIGN OF SPRING.
Billions of the Flying Variety in the
Air Yesterday.

No surer sign that spring has come can
be found than in the visitation of the
hosts of flying ants>kha were spread over
the city yesterdays The air was thick
with them, and everybody was wondering
where they could have come from.
Down on the Bay during the afternoon
the little insects, fresh and white from
whatever state is theirs before they bios
som forth flying ants, were floating
upon the breeze in swarms. The air
was heavy with them, and had the APP
pearance of being snow-laden. One sit
ting in a warm room and knowing no
better might costly have been persuaded
by a glance out of the window that snow
was falling.
The prevalence of the ants upon the
Bay, and the wind being from that direc-
ton, induced the belief that it must have
been from across the river that the ants
came. AS one went southwark from the
Bay fewer and fewer of the insects were
found, and there was some chance OF
walking Through the street without be-
coming the aiighting place of a dozen
or more of them.

THE HOUSE DRAINAGE.
Large Portion of the System Soon to
he Ready for Connections.

II will not be long before householders
will be making connections with the new
house drainage system. In fact large
portion of the system is now ready for
connection, but no announcement of this
fact will be made until the work now I'M
der way is completed
The work will be shut down May / on
account of the sanitary regulations
against upturning the soil in the streets
during the heated term. BY that date,
however 1t is expected to have the system
complete throughout the entire eastern
half of the city and all the section south
of Anderson street, with the exception, per-
haps, of Eleventh and Twelfth streets.
The lateral sewers on the east side have
already been laid as far South as Seventh
street and the drainage forces are now
working east and west from jefferson
street in the southern section.
The large eastern main is now being
pushed rapidly southwark on East Broad
street, the excavations being shallower
and the main smaller than heretofore. The
work of making the connection across Gas
ton street to the west side is well under
way This is now the most difficult por-
ton of the work. The trench is a deep
and narrow one and considerable water
is being encountered. The trench machine
is being used, however, and this greatly
facilitates the work This will cause some
Inconvenience to the street car patrons for
a time, as. owing to the length of the ma
chine, Habersham and Abercorn streets
will be blocked in turn until the sewer has
been completed west of those streets. This
will make ii necessary for the street rail-
way TO transfer its passengers at the
trench for a time, but as she work is be-
ing pushed rapidly, it is hoped that this
inconvenience will not be of great dura-

Commander of Company ID Gives Up
His Commission.


Capt Henry Blum. Jr., has rendered his
resignation as commanding officer of
Company D., of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards. The resigna ton was handed in
yesterday through the regular military
channels, and it is probable it will be ac-
cepted, going through the usual course,
within the next few days.
For more than a year Capt Blum has
been in command of Company D. Before
his election to the captaincy he was for
some time In charge of it as lieutenant
commanding. Under his leadership the
command has grown in numbers and ex
cellence, and it now ranks with the best,
in any respect, of the companies compris-
ing the battalion.
1t was under Capt. Blum that the ANAL
gamation' of the Lawton Cadets with
Company D. was brought about. Good
judgment was shown in bringing about
this consolidation. and the new, as we'll
as the old, members of the company have
shown the greatest interest in it.
Capt. Blum has been a member of the
company since its organization some
I eight years ago. He rose through all
the grades, having been corporal, ser
geant and second lieutenant. Upon the
resignation of Capt. w. T. Hopkins, who
was promoted to the rank of lieutenant
colonel, Lieut. Blum was chosen as his
successor. During the Guards service in
the war with Spain Capt. Blum was sec
ond lieutenant of his company.
1t is not known who will succeed Capt.
Blum. First Lieutenant Wright Hunter
is in line for the position, but it has been
said that he would decline a nomination
because of the demands of his business,
the reason that induced Capt. Blum to
disregard his personal inclinations and
resign his command. Second Lieutenant
w. L. Pritchard is next in rank.

Ascension Passed Away.

Ascension HaSSeu Away.
Rev. DR.. w. s. Bowman, who for eleven
years was pastor of the Lutheran Church
of the Ascension in Savannah, died yester-
day morning at Mt. Pleasant, N. c. A tel
egram announcing his death was received
by Savannah relatives.
DR.. Bowman had long been in i'll heath
He had been for some time unable TO look
after his ministerial duties. a considera-
ton that forced him TO retire several
years ago. He was nearly 70 years of age,
so that his life had run the allotted span.
He was one of those men of whom il might
be said that the world was better for his
having lived in 1t.
In 1880 DIR. Bowman came to Savannah
to take charge of the Lutheran Church of
the Ascension. He worked indefatigably
and successfully in his pastorate until 1891
when he resigned TO go to Charlotte. n. c.,
10 take charge of the church there During
his incumbency of the pastorate at Sa~
vannah DIR. Bowman was successful in
lifting a heavy debt that weighed upon the
church.
Not long after going to Charlotte DR.
Bowman became an invalid. He gave up
his work and went to Florida for a time
to recuperate. living upon a farm he
owned in that state. After his stay in
Florida he went to Mount Pleasant S.
C., where he passed away.
DIR. Bowmans second wife, who died
some years ago, was Miss Katharine
Borchart, a sister Of Mrs. A. Furrer, Mrs
w. F. Scherff and Mrs Howard Harris.
1t is possible that some of his
Savannah connections may go to
Charleston TO attend the funeral, which
will take place tomorrow. 1t was from
Charleston that DR.. Bowman came to Sa-
vannah. His birthplace was in Virginia.
