DIR. o'NEIL EXPLAINS.
tic Says He Does Not owe DIR. will
liams a Cent.


The attachment sued out in Justice
Naughtin's court against DR.. H. Gibson
O'Neil for 81 900, in favor of DIR. Williams
of Richmond, was dissolved yesterday
morning and the garnishments issued are
no longer in force. The amount of the
claim was not paid because DR.. O'Neil
says that he does not owe it. He furnish
ed bond in the sum named and the case
will be heard in the courts, unless the
plaintiff sees fit to let the matter drop.
DIR. O'Neil says that DIR. Williams attor-
ney stated a willingness to compromise
for $780, but that he does. not propose to
pay one cent for the reason that he does
not owe It.
Considerable has been written about the
issuing of the attachments against the
violet ray treatment. DR.. O'Nei was seen
at the De Soto last night by represen-
tative of the Morning News and talked
freely about the cases against him. He
was not pleased at what he considered
unnecessary notoriety and said that he
does not owe any one a cent. and that at
all times he is able to pay his bills
promptly
DR.. O'Neil explained the small amount
claimed by a brownsville concern. which
he has paid. He had stood as security,
he said, for a friend who evidently for
got to pay the amount. DR.. ONeil had
not suspected that this would be the
case and when he returned to the city
from the North and found what had hap
pened he paid the claim.
He says be went to New York to OBJ
tain some special apparatus and that he
was dumbfounded when he returned to
the city and discovered what had trans
pired. AS soon as he saw the Thomas
willie claim he paid it in full. but refus-
ed to consider the one taken out by the
Richmond doctor.
DR. O'Neil awaited the return OF his
attorney. Col. A. r. Lawton. who ar
rived in Savannah yesterday morning
and explained TO him that he did not owe
the claim of DR.. Williams. and was adj
vised that the best thing to do would be
to furnish bail in the sum named in the
attachment
The violet ray doctor is an interesting
talker. and the impression that he makes
on one is quite favorable. He appeared
TO regret the turn matters have taken
during his absence from the city. Since
his stay in Savannah he has made quite
a number OF substantial friends in promi-
nent and influential families. Quite
number of people have come TO Savannah
from adjacent cities to be treated.
DR.. O'Neil says he is in need of rest.
and will leave Savannah for Saratoga
about June /. He will remain at the De
Soto until his departure for the North

CASTOR STREET PAVING.
The Mayor Is still Considering tn,
Ordinance.

The Mayor has not decided just what
his course relative to the CASTOR street
paving ordinance will be- He still has
four days in which to consider the meas
ure.
Aldermen Dixon, Watson and Horrigan
denied the story that appeared in the
Morning News yesterday of the talk that
was made the aldermen by the Mayor in
caucus, regarding the report that some
ten of them had pledged themselves to
support the ordinance. The story was told
the representative of the Morning News
by one who was present at the caucus.
The aldermen mentioned said that the
only discussion about the ordinance in
caucus was as to whether the gentlemen
to appear before Council should be heard
in caucus or in open meeting. The Mayor
wanted it in open meeting, but Alderman
Dixon said that such had not been the
usual proceeding, and he could not see
the reason for it in that case.

MUSIC AND BATHING.
Hotel Tybee Opens for the Season
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.
Mr.. Chas. F. Graham announces that
he will open Hotel Tybee for the season
tomorrow. There will be music and dane
ing. The cafe will be a feature of the
hotel this season, and guests will be
served meals at any hour
Visitors to Tybee this summer will OBJ
serve very pleasing improvements that
have been made in and around Hotel Ty-
bee. Chief among these, probably, is one
that the eye will appreciate. Mr.. Ora
ham has secured fourteen carloads Of rich
earth from Savannah, and had it spread
over wide area surrounding the hotel.
To prevent the encroachment of the run
ming sands, Mr.. Graham had a retaining
wall built for the area that he purposed
improving, and 1t will be but a short
time before the sandy surroundings of the
hotel will have been replaced by lawns
Palmetto trees have also been set out
and the attraction of the hotel will be
much greater when they and the grass
have grown.
Tybee visitors have long wanted a cafe
conducted in connection with the hotel
This year they will have one. The hotel
has already opened for the season, ana
so has the cafe which is in the two
rooms that served formerly as parlors
opening upon the veranda on the front or
the building. Orders may be given by
guests in the cafe at any time.
The hotel and cottages have been rem
ovated, and Mr.. Graham is having a new
cottage constructed for the help. This
will also be used as laundry. Just IN
front of the smaller of the two Hotel
Tybee pavilions have been constructed
seven small summer houses, with roors
matched with palmetto leaves. Though he
is in the hotel and cafe business, Mr..
Graham welcomes picnic parties to the
smaller of his pavlions. They may also
have the use of the summer houses. On
the whole, visitors will find the hotel
much more attractive than last season.

CALEB POWERS
 TRIAL UNDER WAY
COL. JACK cHINN, WHO WAS WITH
 GOEBEL WHEN SHOT, GIVES A DRAMATIC RECITAL - EVERY BODY SEARCHED FOR WEAPONS

Georgetown, Ky, October 15.-The trial of Caleb Powers, charked with being an accessory to the murder of Governor Goe- bel is now under way in earnest. AS per the orders of Judge Cantrill. all persons were searched for concealed weapons be- fore permitted to enter the courtroom today
 Col. Bennett H. Young of Louisville testified that the southwest window of Caleb Powers office was raised sixteen inches and the blind was pulled down. He could see a motion within the room but could not tell what 1t was.
 Colonel Jack Chinn, who was with Goe- bel when he was shot, was called to the stand. He gave a dramatic recital of the shooting Colonel Chinn stated that he started to draw his pistol after the sec- ond volley of shots came, and that Goebel tried to get his revolver from his pocket as he fell wounded to the ground.
 Eph Lilliard, who also accompanied Goebel on the morning of the shooting, was next introduced, but his testimony was much the same as that of Colonel Chinn.

GOVERNMENT ROBBED.
Detectives Are Puzzled as to How
 $52o0 Was Stolen.

New York, October 15.-W. H. Brindell. collector of customs at Buffalo, N. Y., has been fin this city recently in consulta- tion with the sub-treasury officials and secret service officers over the theft of s520o from an express package containing $700O, consigned from Buffalo to the sub treasury here.
 The original package was filled with S7000 in bills of the same denomination as were in it when it left Buffalo. Certain pin holes had been made in the covering at Buffalo and when the package was again filled these pin holes, which had penetrated two portions of the covering were found to fit exactly. The package was carefully traced and it has been shown that 1t has not been tempered with from the time it was receipted for by the express company until 1t was delivered at the sub-treasury. It was also proved that 1t had been receipted for in good or der at the sub-treasury and that the seals were unbroken. After the expert exam ination the secret service men are in cined to think the package was tempered with after it reached the sub-treasury and had been receipted for.

TURKEY MUST PAY.
United States May Make Her Refund
 the Ransom.

London, October 15.-The United States government will insist that Turkey make good any ransom paid for Miss Stone. says the Daily Telegraph, and also refund the full amount subscribed.
 It is supposed that the brigands who cap- tured Miss Stone have retreated into the interior of Macedonia, says a special to the Daily Telegraph from Sofia.
 Former members of the Macedonian committee who were arrested on suspi- cion of complicity, denied before mag istrate any knowledge of the affair"
 Pastors Dimikroff and Seikoff. with three female mission workers, said dis patch from Vienna to the Daily Express, have been killed by the band that kid naped Miss Stone.
 The Daily News, in an editorial upon the case of Miss Stone, while sympathiz- ing with the efforts In her behalf, ex- presses the opinion that the payment of such large ransom Is a very questiona- ble proceeding.
 Turkey could easily stamp out brigan- dage," says the Daily News but so long as benevolent foreigners will pay high hansomes, why should the Turks trouble themselves? The News concludes by re. marking: An army of brigands endowed by American subscriptions will not add tS the tranquility of Eastern Europe.

SAVAGE WARFARE.
Boers Make Reprisals Against British
 By Shooting Prisoners.

New York, October 15-Discussing Gen. eral Kitchener's proclamation and the policy of declaring martial law in Cape Colony. the Tribune's London correspond ent says:
 ''If he succeeds, the rebellion will be stamped out in Cape Colony, and the Boers. repulsed from the invasion of Natal. will be gradually starved out on their own territory. Much depends on the temper and ability of the Boers re- speeding reprisals. They will lose the support of their Cape allies unless they can avail themselves of the source of re- taliation, horrible as the alternative may be. The question Is discussed with bated breath In London, and the opinion is ex- pressed that Lord Kitchener and Lord Milner have waited before adopting strenuous measures until the precise mo- ment when Botha, Dewet and Delareye are at the end of their resources and un- able to capture British soldiers and retail fate by shooting them in return for hang ing Cape farmers and the execution of Lotter's death sentence.

FUTILE EFFORTS
 FOR WHITE PARTY
SENATOR MORGAN DOES NOT THINK SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS WILL BECOME REPUBLICANS. GETTING BACK TO WHIG IDEAS.

Washington, October 15. - (Special.) J. Senator Morgan has returned to Wash ington from Warm Springs, Va. where he spent the summer. The Senator and Miss Morgan are stopping temporarily at the Metropolitan untI1 their residence is opened.
 Senator Morgan regards as futile the efforts to build up white Republican party in the South. While there are a number of men in the South in sympathy with the Republican policies, he believes they are simply getting back to the old Whig lines of thought prevailing before the war.
 The Senator Is confident that final leg islation will be enacted this winter on the Nicaraguan canal, and he will intro- duce a bill early after Congress con- Venes.

MISS STONES LETTER.
6egs That Ransom Be Fastened as
 Soon as Possible.

New York October 15.-According to a dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Sofia, further word has come from Miss Stone in the following letter, writ ten from Macedonia, to w. W. Peet, treasurer of the Turkish Mission at Con- stantinople:
 My Honored Friend-I write to in- form you that on the third day of Sep tember I was captured by a great num- Der of armed men-some forty-as travelled from Bansko to Diumaala with about twelve teachers, students and oth- CTS.
 They took with me for my companion Mrs. Catherine Tsilka- The reason they captured us is for a ransom. The price which they demand for us Is e25 900, Turkish, which sum must be paid in gold, and this entirely without the knowledge of the Turkish and Bulgarian govern ments, within the term of eighteen days from today.
 "The condition of Mrs. Tsilka decided the limit, as she is to give birth to child in three months. We are pursued by a Turkish army. I beg pr. Haskell himself to go to Constantinople and exert himself for the payment of the ransom at Sam okov. where men will receive 1t by the presentation of an order from me.
 "The men who captured us at first showed courtesy and consideration to- ward us. but now since Turkish soldiers and Bashi- -Bazouks have begun to pursue us and the ransom is delayed, our condi- tion is altogether changed.
 "Therfore, beg you to hasten sending the ransom demanded, and that as ener- getically as possible you will represent to the Turkish government that it stop the pursuit of us by soldiers and Bashi- Bazouks, otherwise we shall be killed by the people In whose hands we are. l pray you, communicate without delay the contents of this letter to the representa- tive of the United States at the Porte and request his most serious cooperation.
 Pray for us; we are at peace with God. With hearty salutations. your friend,
 ELLEN M. STONE"
