General Manager McIntire Present
ed With One by Car Men.

OhC W CaE MEN,
General Manager Lucien H. McIntire
was pleasantly surprised yesterday by
the men employed by the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway
Company. He was presented with a
beautiful silver service as a token of
the esteem in which he is held by the
employees.
The presentation was made at the
company's offices, on Bolton street, by
Conductors Waters and Kelly and Mo-
torman Poole, a committee named by
the men in the shops and on the cars.
Knowing that Mr.. McIntire will return
to his home in Vermont just as soon
as the new company takes charge of
the system, the men desired to express
in a substantial way their feelings of
satisfaction at his management of the
system.
In presenting the service and speak
ing for the givers, Conductor Waters
stated that the men regretted to learn
that Mr.. McIntire of his own volition
would sever his connection with the
system as soon as the Savannah Elec-
trio Company assumes charge. Mr.. Nc
Intire was taken completely by sur
prise, but thanked the men for the
present and their expressions of friend
ship and esteem.

COUNCIL MEETS TOMORROW.
Left over Matters Will BE Taken Up
and Settled.

"A special meeting of the City Coun-
Gil will he held tomorrow afternoon at
4:S0 o'clock. The next regular meeting
of Council will take place Jan. s. 1t
is necessary that a decision be reached
upon certain matters before the end of
7901.
One of the chief matters calling for
Councils consideration is that of city
printer. At the last meeting bids were
submitted, and these will be discussed
in caucus before action is taken in
open meeting.
The petition of the Third Division of
the Naval Militia will also be taken up
and members of the organization will
be invited to appear and submit any
argument they may have to show why
they should be recognized, as well as
other white military organizations of
the city, IN the distribution of the So
600 appropriated by the city for the
military.
1t is probable, too, that a resolution
touching the entertainment of the
Philadelphians who visit Savannah on
Jan. 8, accompanying the Liberty Bell,
which will be en- route to Charleston,
will be introduced. Some courtesy will
be extended the visitors by Council
while they are in the city.
An agreement as to the division of
the hospital appropriation among the
several hospitals of the city may also
be reached.

They Who Fail to Do 1t Carefully
Will Be Left.

Ihey VINO run 10 DO HI CarefulIy
viii Be Left.
Not a business under the sun fails
to heed to the four seasons-spring,
summer, autumn and winter. The mil
lions upon millions of dollars worth
of goods in our great mercantile estab-
lishments must move back and forth
from the sales floors to the cellars with
the seasons. Spring goods must come
out during this season, winter goods
must be offered when it's cold, and if
the merchant is to succeed he must be
prompt in displaying his goods. Not
only in business, but also in domestic
life must the seasons be observed
Realizing this, Mr.. Logan, the alert
caterer in the city market, posts him
self ahead of time, and supplies such
things as are suitable for your table in
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Each season produces certain supplies
for his market, and he sees to it that
they are there for you. 1t is said that
one may glance at Logan's market and
tell the season by the things he offers
there. Howbeit, an experience of twen-
ty-five years qualities him to watch
this, so that it will pay to patronize
him if you wish to be right.-ad.

SAVED FRIGHTENED WOMAN.
Mrs. Annie HuntOn About to Jump
From window when Rescued.

From window when Rescued.
While preparing to jump from a
window on the third floor of No. 10 JEFF
ferson street, Mrs. Annie Hunton was
rescued by Fireman Hughes yesterday
The woman feared suffocation from a
fire that had started at the head of
the stairs and had cut off retreat.
The blaze started in a bundle of
lightwood that had been left near an
oil stove, and when Mrs. Hunton at
tempted to escape from the fiat which
she occupied she was driven back by
the smoke and fire. In the meantime
the people living on the other floors
had discovered the fire and an alarm
was sounded from Box No. 9, at Bay
and Jefferson streets.
The apparatus from fire headquar
ters was the first to reach the scene.
Mrs. Hunton was leaning out of a
window on Jefferson street, and pre-
pairing to jump when warned to re
main where she was. A ladder from
truck No. was run up to the window
and Fireman Hughes lifted the woman
through the window and carried her
to the ground in his arms. The chem
ical engines from the Central Station
and from headquarters extinguished
the blaze and the damage amounted 10
less than $100 The house is rented
by Mrs. Bridget Dacey.
The men from fire headquarters were
just leaving the Central Railroad of
fees, on Perry and West Broad streets,
when the alarm from Jefferson street
was sounded. A defective flue in the
railroad offices had produced large
volumes of smoke and given out the
impression that a fire was in progress.

REFUSED To PAY
g., II. & L. OF Fl. RY. TREASURER
TURNED DOWN CITY MARSHAL.
MUST PAY TAXES TOMORROW
OR CoERCIVE MEASURES WILL BE
TAKEN By THE CITY.

Demand Was Made by City Marshal
DreesOn Upon Capt. j. II. John
ston, Treasurer of the Company,
for the Amount Due for Specific
Taxes-He Was Refused, and Con-
ferred with the Mayor-The Mayor
Said the City VIII Wait Until
Noon To-mOrrOw-If Claim Is Not
Then Paid, Action VIII be Taken.
City Marshal H. E. Dreeson called en-
Capt. ]. H. Johnston, treasurer of the
Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railway, yesterday morning, to
try and collect the specific taxes for the
city, amounting to $6.45945. for which
the power house of the company was
levied upon by the marshal few days
ago. President George Parsons of the
company had telegraphed Hon. Pope
Barrow, attorney representing him in
the case, that the money was to be
paid, and this was known to the city
marshal.
The marshal expected to get a
check for the amount when he called
on the treasurer, but was disap-
pointed. Capt. Johnson pointedly re-
fused to pay the taxes, and the city
marshal had no recourse but to give
up his effvgt for the time beng.
A conference between the Mayor
and the city marshal was held not long
afterwards, the marshal having called
on the Mayor to lay the facts before
him. This conference resulted in a
decision being reached to allow mat
ters to remain in statu quo until to-
morrow at noon, when. if the claim
of the city has not been settled, some
decisive action will be taken. This,
it is said, will be the closing of the
power house of the company.
Mr.. Barrow left the city shortly af-
ter noon, thinking that the claim of
the city had been settled. He had the
authority of the president of the COM
pany for the payment of the taxes.
Some time ago Mr.. S. B. Adams, city
attorney and Mr.. Barrow, representing
Mr.. Parsons, had agreed that payment
might be made, even though the case
of the city against the company was
still pending in the United States Su-
preme Court. Should the decision be
rendered in favor of the company, the
city would have to repay the amount
collector for specific taxes, with inter
est.
The Mayor was asked by a repre-
sentative of the Morning News if the
power house of the company would be
closed by the city marshal If the claim
of the city should not be paid by to-
morrow at noon. He answered that he
would not say that, but that some ac-
tion would certainly be taken. He said
that it would be after advising with
the city attorney that decision as to
just what action should be taken would
be reached.
1t is said that there will be nc
trouble tomorrow, for the money will
be paid. Measures will be taken dur
ing the morning, it is said, to bring
about the payment of the claim.

The Boys with Horns VIII See the
Old Year Ont and the New In.

The Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks. Savannah Lodge, No. 1888, will
hold a social session Tuesday night
unique features.
Every session of the Elks has long
been proverbial as synonym for
pure and wholesome fun, with strain
of impressive pathos that cannot fail
to convince the casual guest that the
order is all that the name implies
The serious work is left out when
the social sessions are held, and only
the social side is shown to the friends
that gather to participate in the good
cheer that is provided.
At IL o'clock the toasts of the order
will be drunk, "The faults of our
brothers we write upon the sand, their
virtues upon the tablets of love and
memory" and "To the Absent
Brother"
The hour is classical in Elkdom, and
its observance by assembled members
touching in feeling and sincerity.
The fun is in the penalties
imposed upon the members who do not
reach the point of excellence in enter
tainment deemed essential in the chair
mans opinion.
One of the novelties of the entertain
ment will be a New Year tree, pendant
from whose prolific branches will be en-
velopes bearing prizes for members and
guests. These prizes will be delivered
by an intelligent committee, who will
endeavor to make appropriate distribu-
tion.
Following a time-honored custom, a
ladies' social session will be given early
in January, at which a full attendance
is assured.
The Ticket Committee, consisting Of
r. S. Colding, F. II. Opper and A. r.
Kelly have the distribution of the ad-
mission cards in charge and have dis
posed of a large number.
The Elks, whose powers of entertain
ing are of national fame, guarantee to
guests session for the opening of 1902

Stuart Robson, who plays in Savan-
nah Tuesday night, will add his his
trionic powers and those of several of
his company to the pleasure of the ev-
ening.

PATR0LMAN ON DOCKET.
Arrested UnruIy Negro and Must
Face Mayor in consequence.


Face Mayor in Consequence.
The arrest of George Young, a por-
ter-at- T. ]. Anderson's drug store, at
Hall and Price streets, has resulted in
the docketing of Patrolman Christian
by the druggist. The case against
Young was continued by Recorder My
rick in Police Court yesterday, and
Mayor Myers will investigate the
charges against Christian at an early
date.
Young is alleged to have cut the Of
ficer's dog with a knife and to have
threatened to use the weapon on the
patrolman's son, Joe, when admonished
not to hurt the animal again. The ne
gro is also charged with having re-
sisted and struck the officer. The
druggist charges that without any au-
thority from him, or any legal right,
the patrolman went behind his counter
and pulled the negro out into the street.
He charges, too, that the officer was
drinking. Christian, who is one of the
oldest men on the force, was not on
duty at the time of the trouble.

NO ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
Claimed That j. III. NJ. Whites story
of HoIdup Is Not True.

H. o. Minitree. G. A. Crosby and C.
H. Maurrell, who were alleged to have
assaulted J. H. M. White on Wheaton
street Thursday, tell an entirely differ
ent story from that put up by the
prosecutor to Magistrate Jones.
White claimed that it had been the
purpose of the men to take a large sum
of money from him, and that they had
assaulted him. He had warrants is
sued, charging assault, and the defend
ants were arrested yesterday and gave
bond for their appearance at a prelim-
mary investigation.
Crosby and Minitree said they had
nothing to do with the trouble that did
take place, and that certainly no ef-
fort was made to rob White, or was
there any suggestion of robbery. The
men said that White and Maurrell had
a difficulty and that blow was passed,
but that no one else took hand. The
men made a clear statement of the af-
fair, and are not at all worried as to
the outcome.

Col. T.. S. Wylly, Jr's denial that
he is slated to succeed Col. ]. II. De-
veaux as collector of customs at Sa-
varnah as it appeared in the Morn
ing News yesterday did not serve to
convince those who discussed the sue

not be the man. On the contrary. it
was the usual thing for those who
We're asked whom they thought woull

man. The impression is widespread,
whether erroneous or not.
Other names that have been given

that Col. Deveaux's chances for re-
appointment are not strong.

MORE PAY FOR DETECTIVES.
Their salary VIII BE the Same ns
That of the SerEeants.

The city detectives will get an in
crease in salary commencing the first
Of the year. The extra pay was fig
ured on when the police budget was
arranged and an alderman stated yes
terday that the officers will get larger
salary next month.
AT present the detectives receive $T5
month, and it is proposed to give
them $S3. SO. which is the amount re-
ceived by the sergeants. While they
win not have the rank of sergeant
they will outrank the patrolman, as
is at present the case. The detectives
have considerable work to do. and are
constantly on duty. They are also at
an expense in keeping spoilers. which
are absolutely necessary in every po-
lice department.

SAVANNAH AWAY AHEAD.
Every Month of 1901 Shows Greater
Clearings- for savannah


The MOI ming News yesterday gave a
comparative statement of the bank
clearings of Savannah and Atlanta dur
ing the first three weeks of December.
The comparison showed strongly in
Savannah's favor, but Savannah's ad-
vantage over Atlanta is by no means
confined to December. Every month of
the year 1901 has shown a great lead
for Savannah's clearings over those of
Atlanta. This may be seen from the
following comparative statement, CIV
ing the clearings for each city for each
month during 1901, though it should be
noted that the amount for December
has been carried through Dec q in the
Savannah column, while in the Atlanta
column 1t was carried only through
