rageously misrepresented in this mat
Statement of Attorneys.

Alexander & Hitch and Travis & Ed
wards who represented the plaintiffs
in the bill for receiver filed against The
Anvil Wednesday, gave out the follow
ing statement when seen in reference
to the resolutions by The Anvils off,
GERS:
The gentlemen formerly composing
the board of directors of The Anvil
seem to be unnecessarily excited and
have made seriatim denials of great
many things which have never been
charged against them, either in the Dill
as filed, by any one interested in the
litigation, or in any newspaper account
of the proceedings. No one has ever
charged that one of the books OF the
order has been removed or purloined,
nor that the various officers of this or
der have not devoted considerable time
to it, nor that any funds have been
misappropriated, nor that cash con-
sideration was received for the sale to
the American Guild.
NO charge has been made against
the reputation of any one. No sugges-
ton has been made that either DR..
HERS or Mr.. Mcmillan has received any
consideration for the large amount OF
time which they must necessarily nave
devoted to the business of this COM
pany. No reference has been made to
DT. CO1DlD, the intultdA tAdAhAiNAf AACt
has it been intimated that he was not
Justly due any sums of money that
may have been paid him.
LAS TO the suggestion that Mr.. d. b.
Lester has been receiving a salary oil
5000 a month. the memorandum of the
liabilities of The Anvil, which he vol
unfairly turned over to the receiver,
and which was prepared under his di-
rection and for his own use, according
to his statement, shows that for the
last six months of The Anvils exist
ence. he charged among its liabilities
an item of s2O8.33 1-3 per month as his
salary. He admits having drawn as
salary 1855.
I'VE do not consider that the case is
to be tried in the newspapers in ad-
vance of the date set for hearing IN
the Superior Court. and, therefore, do
not care to go further into the details
of the case at present. At the proper
time and place the evidence support
ing the allegations of the bill as filed
will be forthcoming.

sAvANNAH's TOURIST VISITORS.
The season Now About to Close the
Best in Many Years.


That the present tourist season, now
almost over, has been the best Sa-
vannah has had for very many years,
if not the best that it has ever had,
in the general opiniaa of the hotel pro-
prietors. Mr.. r. " Powers. of the De-
Soto, says that the hotel has been
practically full since the State Fair in
November. In February and March
the business was 80 per cent. greater
than in the same months last year,
and this despite the fact that last year
also was a banner year.
a part of March, during the rush
northward from Florida, every room
in the hotel was taken, and it became
necessary to put cots in the smaller
parlors and other apartments used (o-
other purposes during the day. And
even with such makeshifts as these,
many guests were turned away be-
cause 1t was impossible to give them
accommodations.
Another feature of the travel this
year, and a feature that has been so
general to attract the notice of all of
the hotel men, is that the travellers not
only were more numerous, but staid
longer when they came, and wanted
the better accommodations.
The annual rush northward is now
over; it should have lasted, so the no.
tel men say, about ten days longer,
but then it was started ten days soon
er than usual owing, probab to the
early celebration of Easter. The great
er number of the visitors to Palm
Beach, Tampa and the most southern
of the Florida resorts have already left
for the North, but there are still many
tourists in Florida, in the vicinity of
Jacksonville, st. Augustine and places
nearer the Georgia line. There are
gradually moving northward, and Sa-
vannah probably Will get her share of
their patronage.
Mr.. Powers expects that the feature
of the next tourist season will be num-
Der of automobilists who will spend
the entire winter here. The few who
were here this winter, Mr.. Powers said.
were so pleased with the city and the
possibility of having good races that
they all notified him of their intention
of returning next year, and some of
them even went so far as to engage
their apartments before they left.
Mr.. w. Hale. division superintendent
of the Seaboard Air Line, has gone to
Hamlet, N. c., to attend a meeting of

who has been acting superintendent of
this division of the Seaboard, is at the
western end of the division. He will
turn over the superintendent of the
division to Mr.. Hale tomorrow.

THREATENED TO CUT WIRES.
ThunderbOlt Property Owners Want
AmicabIe Settlement.

It was rumored yesterday that some
of the wires of the Savannah Electric
Company at Thunderbolt would be cut
last night, but nothing of the sort had
occurred up to an early hour this morn
ing. The report is thought to have
been without foundation.
Some of the property owners at
Thunderbolt are anxious to have an
amicable settlement with the street
railway company, and an effort will be
made to have President Baldwin ap-
pear at meeting of the residents of
Thunderbolt and straighten out mat
tiers.
A member of the Citizens Committee
was in the city yesterday, and made
an effort to see Mr.. Baldwin, but with
out success. The Thunderboh proper
ty owner stated that the residents of
the town do not desire to fight the
street railway company, but that they
do want to deal with the president di-
rect They say that their fight is in
another direction.

Two suspicious negroes were chased
in East Savannah last night by Con-
ductor Waters and his motorman of the
Thunderbolt car line, but proved to be
the wrong men and were released. The
conductor had believed that the men
intended to hold up his car.
Several nights ago the conductor had
some trouble with a negro passenger,
who drew a razor and who had to be
elected from the car. The negro prom
Used to get even and lay for the con-
ductor and the motorman, who had as

that the negroes caught last night were
preparing to hold the car up, but such
proved not to be the case. The chase
occasioned considerable excitement
among the passengers on the car.
