Case Argued Before Master AP-
pointed by L. =. Judge KOhlsaat
But no Decision Yet Rendered.
Civil suit to he Brought Against
Carriers VIII BE Tried in Chicago
in the Spring.
United States District Attorney
Marion Erwin of the Southern District
of Georgia reached Savannah yester-
day morning and will spend the Christ
mas holidays here with his family, who
are the guests of Mrs. Elizabeth M
WoIhaupter, East Bolton street
MIR. Erwin was asked what steps, If
any. the government has recently TAX
en- to secure the extradition of Greene
and Gaynor, and what further steps
are contemplated. He replied that the
government has NOT given up the idea
of getting Greene and Gaynor back
here for trial and will take whatever
steps can be taken and at the right
time. This is the only statement he
cared to make.
Discussing the matter of tracing the
embezzIed funds secured by Capt. Car
ter he spoke more at length, however.
He has just returned from the North,
he said. where he has been taking evil
dence preparatory to the trial in the
civil prosecution of Carter and others,
the Others being his brother, L. Stanton
Carter. and his uncle, l.. ID. Carter.
This trial will take place in Chicago in
the spring.
1t viii not be necessary, Mr.. Erwin
saws. that Capt Carter be present at
the trial as his evidence can be taken
by the defense by a commission or be-
fore a special examiner.
Mr.. Erwin has also been engaged on
a special reference made by United
States Judge Kohlsaat of Chicago. to
a master to determine what part Of
the assets already traced into the
hands of l. Stanton Carter and L. D.
Carter they have yet to account for
to the receiver appointed for that pur-
pose.
The evidence on this reference has
been taken, and the case argued, and
now awaits the decision of the mas
ter The government contends that the
evidence shows that the Carriers still
have about ISL, 900 in their hands, after
giving them credit for all the money
paid out on the account of o. NJ. Car
ter prior to the appoinuntat of the re-
ceiver. This hearing before the master
was closed some three or four days
ago. 1t was then that Mr.. Erwin
started for this city, coming via Wash
ington. He has nothing that demands
his attention in the courts here, and
made the trip simply to be with his
family during the holidays.

ALDERMEN WILL GATHER.
To BE in Session While Christmas
Eve fs Being Celebrated.

The regular session of City Council
to be held tonight promises not to be
a very lengthy one, and not great
deal of business will be transacted
There are scarcely any papers on the
tables at this time that will have to
be read.
At the special meeting Monday night
Alderman Watson's ordinance for the
paving of Henry street was read and
passed, and the East Broad street paw
ing ordinance will be put on its second
reading and passed tonight. There is
hardly anything else for the aldermen
TO 90. Liquor licenses win be grant
I'd, new applications will be read, and
Alderman Schroeder's fire department
ordinance, the text of which has been
given in the Morning News, will prob
ably be passed.
The Mayor has arranged to have a
pleasant little luncheon served for the
members OF the board at the meeting
tonight. Mr. Myers does not think
that Council should be in session with
out each alderman receiving at least
one sandwich and one glass of wine
The city fathers will be the guests of
Mr.. Myers while Council is in session,
and there will be no unnecessary de-
lay in adjourning the meeting.

he Given Attention.


he Given Attention.
Tax Collector Thomson is busily en-
gagged in reducing unpaid taxes to ex-
ecution, for the purpose of turn
ing them over TO the sheriff for collec-
ton. Those who have not yet paid,
may save costs by making their pay
ment at once to Tax Collector Thorn
son, before the executions be placed
in the Sheriff's hands. and additional
costs accrue.
The receipts in the office of the tax
collector this year are about the same
as last year. in spite of the reduction
in the tax rate. There still remain
uncollected about $1,000. This is the
amount which has been reduced to
execution.
AS soon as the work Of making out
the tax II. fas is completed. the tax
collector will turn his attention TO the
collection of specific taxes. The regis
tration books for the reception of the
names Of all those who propose TO
carry on any class of business which
is included in the class subject to the
specific tax, are now open in the office
of the ordinary.
The returns are coming in slowly.
The books close on Jan. l, and though
they have been open for two weeks,
not more than one-seventh of the total
number registered last year, have yet
subscribed their names. Those doing
business without registering are liable
to prosecution.

AIMED AT THE LADIES.
Prominent Citizen Objects to Their
Mode of PerambuInting.


The prevailing fashion among the
younger members of the fair sex, of
locking arms, and. four or five abreast,
practically monopolizing the principal
thOroughfares, has occasioned some
unfavorable comment. While the GUS
tom has existed for some time, and is
undoubtedly born of thoughtlessness, 1t
is a source of particular annoyance in
the holiday season, when the streets
are alive with pedestrians.
A well known business man stopped
a representative of the Morning News
on the street yesterday and told him
of the manner in which he had just
been incommoded by bevy of young
girls, whose formidable front had fore
ed him to walk the curbstone IN pass
ing them. He said that while he would
appreciate the harmless way in which
the lassies, in full enjoyment of Christ
mastide, appropriated the sidewalk to
their exclusive use. he could not alto
gether sanction it.
