DENIES HIS GUILT.
Alleged Counterfeitcr GriERs Not
Worrying mt All.

Worrying mt All.
With the iron bars in the county jail
between him and his wife, and two
children-a boy in kits and a girl-E.
G. Griggs. charged with counterfeit
ing, stood for an hour yesterday. as
though he did not have a care in the
world. He laughed and chatted pleas
antly with his wife, who appeared as
unconcerned as her husband.
while Mrs. Griggs laughed and
talked with her husband, apparently
unmindful of the seriousness of the in
dictment found by the Federal grand
jury, the children played at her feet,
occasionally running to the bars to say
something to their father, or to catch
at his hand. With the prison bars and
walls cut from the scene it was a per-
feet picture of contentment-of a hap
by family. During her conversation
with her husband MRS. GriggS tOyed
with two or three greenbacks and did
not appear TO want for anything.
The prisoner is a native of Darling
ton county, South Carolina, and says
that he only came to Georgia with his
FAMILY a month ago. Despite the fact
that in his house all of the parapher-
MALTA necessary for the manufacturing
OF queer money was recovered, Griggs
stubbornly protests his innocence of
the charge upon which the United
states government expects to convict
him; along with his brother-in-la law,
George w. Jennings, who is held a
prisoner in Jacksonville. Griggs says
that he had no idea that spurious coins
We're being ground out under his very
nose. and denies that he ever had any
OF the bogus money. His story is a
mighty improbable one, but he tells it
in frank way, displaying, however,
his native rural shrewdness.
Griggs sets forth the claim that in
Darlington county he ran a truck
farm, but that poor crops caused him
to change his base. He decided to
come to Georgia and for some reason
selected Waycross as his stopping
point. He had intended, he bays, to
run a truck farm at that place, but
found his health poor, which he as
signs as another reason for his hav-
ing left South Carolina He claims
that it was his purpose to remain in
Waycross until he could be treated
for the ailment with which he claims
to be suffering, and then possibly to
move to Miami, Fla, where he has a
brother-in-law. Griggs says that after
his arrival in Waycross his wife's
brother, Jennings, came to live with
them and used the room in which the
outfit for making bad dollars was dis
covered.
Jennings is carpenter, and Griggs
says that he suspected nothing when
his brother-in-law remained in his
room at work. The door was always
Kept shut, and Griggs says that he
never saw the inside of the room until
the officers swooped down upon him
and confiscated the layout He SOL
EMMY declares that he never saw the
plant go into the room; never knew
1t was there until the officers made
the discovery; never assisted in the
making of queer money and never
showed any of 1t. The prisoner SAYS
that, as strange as it may appear, he
thought that his brother was doing
legitimate work, and that had he
known what was happening under his
roof 1T would never have been per-
mitted

QUEER LEGAL PAPER.
Mrs. Mckenzie Objects to Sale of
Lands of Estate.

A queer-looking document that
Capt. McAlpin has agreed to regard as
a caveat to an application of the adj
ministrator of an estate to sell realty
was filed yesterday in the Court of
Ordinary. 1t records the objections of
Mrs. Annice Mckenzie to the sale of
property of the estate of the late
Clancy A. b. Lockwood
The administrator Conrad ]. Leon
ard, has applied to the Ordinary for
permission to sell the realty for the
purpose of paying debts and for distri-
button among the heirs. Mrs. McKen-
zie appears by her husband and AYERS
that the bond of the administrator is
worthless, that it is less in amount
than the value of the property of the
estate and that the administrator is
ready and willing to admit and pay
worthless and invalid claims.
For these and other reasons 1t is
asked that the application TO sell be
denied and the administrator be re-
quired to give a new and better bond.
The value of the estate is given by the
caveatrix at not less than $1,000.
The caveat it written on a sheet of
ordinary note paper and looks as little
like a legal document as can possibly
be imagined. 1t is correct in essentials
seemingly, however, and the Ordinary
is not disposed to disregard the protest
it contains on technical grounds mere

KNIFE STOPPED HER.
Pawnbroker's wife Prevented From
Catching "A Thief.


With a drawn knife Dorcey DeLan-
cey. negro well known in police cir
Giles. yesterday prevented Mrs. Sam
BlumenthaI from stopping a negro who
had stolen a quantity of clothing from
her husbands pawnshop, on st. Julian
and Jefferson streets. A report of the
incident was made at police headquar-
tiers and Detective Wall arrested De-
Lancey.
1t is charged that Delaney was in
the pawn shop when another negro en-
tered, ostensibly for the purpose Of
making a purchase. IL is alleged that
the negro grabbed some clothes that
We're on the counter and started for
the door. Mrs. Blumenthal was IN the
store at the time and ran. after the
negro.
She started the cry OF stop thief, but
was interrupted by Delaney, who is
said TO have threatened to cut Mrs
Blumenthal IL she made any further
cutlery. The negro appeared deter
mined and Mrs. Blumenthal suffered
the thief to escape. Delaney will be
given a preliminary examination by
Recorder Myrick In Police Court this
morning.

STEAMSHIP NYASSk FLOATED.
lowed Into Tybee Roads by Two
Tugs Yesterday Afternoon.

The steamship Nyassa was pulled off
Ossabaw Island yesterday, and during
the early afternoon was towed to Ty-
bee roads, and towards night was ex-
pected UP to the city. The cargo re-
naming will be discharged. and the
vessel will then load outward cargo.
The three tugs, Jacob Paulsen, Abram
Minis and w. f. McCauley, saved the
steamer. Two lighters of pyrites were
brought to the city. and it is under
stood considerable more was jettisoned
overheard.
In bringing the Nyassa to Tybee
roads. where she was at last accounts
yesterday afternoon, 1t required the
three tugs to do it. The steamer had
lost her steering gear and stern post.
The Minis towed her. while the McCau-
ley and the Paulsen ran along either
side of the stern, with hawsers to the
steamer and steered her in that way.
Owing to the high winds which de-
veloped yesterday, the Nyassa was not
gotten off any too soon, for the chances
are that with the continual pounding
she would have received on the beach
she would have been lost.

BREWERY COMBINE FAILED.
savannah Brewing Company stock
holders Would Not 60 in.

Savannah Brewing Company stock
holders Would Not 60 in.
A meeting of the Savannah Brewing
Company stockholders was held yester-
day afternoon to further consider the
proposed consolidation of the brewery
and ice factory interests in Savannah.
The meeting was called by Gen. w. w.
Gordon. chairman of the last meeting
of stockholders. The Stockholders
Committees plan of consolidation was
withdrawn upon motion of Mr.. ].
Randolph Anderson. This practically
disposes of the consolidation scheme,
which was to include the Savannah
Brewery, the Georgia Brewing Asso-
citation and the Gorrie Ice Factory. Its
failure was due to the refusal of some
of the larger holders of brewing com
pany stock to sell their holdings on the
basis proposed by the committee.
After the consolidation scheme was
disposed of the board of directors for
1901 was reelected with the exception
of Mr.. #. j RuclSert, who is now in
GERMANY. Gen. Gordon was elected
IN his place. The full board is com
posed OF Messrs. Jacob Rauers, j. f.
Minis, A. S. Guckenheimer, c. A.
Shearson, John Juchter, j. Randolph
Anderson and w. w. Gordon.

MAYOR NELSON'S SIDE OF 1T.
ThunderboItcrs' Fight Is Not
Against Him, He Says

Mayor Nelson of Thunderbolt, or, as
it is officially known, the Town of War
saw, takes issue with the citizens of
that suburb, who yesterday stated
through the Morning News that the
fight being made on Mayor Nelson and
the board of Aldermen is not one
against the street car line. Mayor Mel
son also said some spicy things as to
just what had brought on the protest
which was recently presented to him.
THE attack" he said, lis nothing but
a subterfuge to conceal the absolute
stealing that has been going on in the
various streets within the corporate
limits of Thunderbolt The claim was
made by the member of the Citizens
Club of Thunderbolt, whose statement
was printed this morning. that the
fight is not against the street car line
but against the Mayor and aldermen of
Thunderbolt, is erroneous, as the pro-
test filed with myself and the aldermen
is ninety-five per cent. against the
street car line and only five per cent.
against the officers Of the town.
ITO make a true statement of the
facts of the case there are certain
property holders at Thunderbolt who,
for the last several years, have been
encroaching on the public property.
The board of aldermen decided to issue
a map defining the public streets and
their limits and this map was pre-.
sented at a recent meeting of Council.
The map was made by Mr.. e. j.
Thomas, county surveyor, who more
over was present at the meeting when
it was submitted. there TO explain these
encroachments which had been made
on the public property.
Now the actual fight Is not, as the
public has been led to believe, based
upon the railroads petition for a fran
chise but is based upon the thefts OF
the public domain which have been go
ing on for several years. In some
cases this theft has been so fragrant
that streets originally thirty feet wide
have been so reduced by these en-
croachments that they are now but fif-
teen feet wide. The protest against the
franchise Is made for the purpose OF
attracting attention 20 that matter and
thus keeping Il away as far as pos
sible, from these thefts.
Further than this 10 show that the
statement disclaiming any fight against
the street car line ~ untrue 10 IL only
necessary 10 see the petition which
distinctly states that not only shall this
franchise BE- denied but that no line
shall De- built within the corporate
limits u the town"

TO ARGUE DEMURRAGE RULE.
President Erwin of the Plant System
Gone TO Attend a Hearing.

President r. G. Erwin, of the Plant
System, accompanied by Mr.. w. r.
Sullivan, his private secretary, left for
Atlanta last night, to attend hearing
that will be had before the Railroad
Commission of the state this morning,
in which a number of RAILWAYS. in
Guiding the Plant System, are inter-
ested.
The case arises upon a complaint
made by Wylly & Gabbett, of this city,
which attacks the present demurrage
rule on cars of lumber. The new rule
went into effect the last of January and
required that cars of lumber be I'M
loaded in five days, instead of ten. as
had previously been the case. To this
rule the lumber brokers and shippers
here all very seriously object.
Arguments will be made before the
commission to-day. The railroads
claim that the rule is necessary to pro-
tect the interests of saw mill owners
in the country, who are anxious to get
their products promptly to the ship
ping points

FIREMEN KEPT BUSY.
High Winds Caused Several Chin
neys 10 Burn ont.

hfNA w
The fremen were kept on the move
last night as a result of the high
winds and although only two alarms
were sounded five calls were answered
within an hour. The damage was slight
in every case and burning chimneys
We're the only things the firemen had
to go UP against.
The men realized that if a fire got
a slight Roadway there would be no
stopping 1t and lost no time in answer
ing the calls. They remained on the
alert throughout the night and in the
several fire stations the men slept with
one eye open. They made preparations
for the worst and In the down town
houses the men went to bed with more
clothing on than is usual
A burning chimney in the residence
of Patrolman r. l.. Tullis, on Duffy
street. near Montgomery, caused the
sounding of an alarm from Box 65, on
Jefferson and Duffy streets. Sparks
from the chimney set the roof on fire
and the damage amounted to about
$25
A very short while later burning
chimney at No. Z Gordon street, east,
caused the sounding of an alarm from
Box 6, on Taylor and Drayton streets.
The men from Stat No 2 had a
run to the residence of 3. M. Car
funkel on Harris and Barnard streets.
A burning chimney was the worst the
firemen had to contend with. A sim
liar fire at No. 553 Broug'hton street,
east. engaged the attention of the men
al the Broughton street station, while
the apparatus from Station No. was
at work on Thirty-first and Bull
streets
The last fire of the night was in the
residence of r. G. Blatner at No %
Forty-first street, east. The appar2-
tus ait stations Nos. 5 and 6 was called
into service. The fire was caused by
a defective flue, and damaged the roof
over a room in the rear to some extent
