At the same time E. F. Roy, pro-

1t is decidedly an unusual occurrence
that Passover and Easter should fall

is founded on the lunar month and
the Passover festival always falls on
the same date the 18th. of Nissan,
while the Christian festival is a move

EXIT SAVANNAH MAGAZINE.

There were no developments in the
matter of the suspension of the Savan-
nah Magazine yesterday. The office
recently occupied by Britton Brothers
remained closed and those who called
to ask about bills or subscriptions,
found the door locked and nobody at
home.
The young men were not on the
streets, and while they may still be
in the city, they did not make them
selves very conspicuous and probably
would have little to say, if interview
ed.
The short life of the publication was
no doubt a matter of regret to a num-
Der of young aspirants for literary
fame, who had expected to win out
on the wings of the magazine, but as
far as the reading public is concerned
the suspension will make little diff
ference. In the business world the
lack of advertising patronage in
Dictated a lack of appreciation of the
publication as an advertising medium.

EMPTIED HIS PISTOL.
Hampton Myers Tried Hard to Kill
Eddie Welsh.

Following a row Wednesday night at
the house of a woman living in the
vicinity of Laurel Grove Cemetery,
Hampton Myers, a white man who re-
Gently came to Savannah from Charles
ton, early yesterday afternoon emptied
his revolver at Eddie Welsh, Peter
Bubee, and one or two others, on West
Broad street, near the Union Station.
Bubee was shot in the knee and
Welsh had a close call, although he
escaped injury. A bullet from Myers
pistol cut away the front of his shirt,
just under the heart, but did not break
the skin. Welsh alleges that all five
shots were fired at him. Patrolmen
Malphus and Padgett arrested both
Myers and Welsh and they were sent
to the police station house. Myers is
charged with assault with intent to
murder, and Welsh with being drunk
and disorderly and cursing in the
street.
Welsh stated after he was landed at
the station house that he was shot at
without provocatiOn. He had been to
the home of Myers woman the night
before, he relates, and Myers did not
seem to like it. He declares that the
Charleston man approached him at the
corner of Charlton and West Broad
streets and threatened him. He defied
Myers, he claims, who promptly drew
his revolver and began shooting.
Myers alleges that he was attacked
by Welsh and five or six others and
that he was forced to use his pistol to
defend himself. He declares that he
ran, and that the crowd threw stones
at him. He says that he then turned
and fired at his assailants. He had
in the neighborhood of SIS in silver
when arrested, and claimed that Welsh
and his friends were mad because he
wouldn't drink with them. Myers re-
loaded his pistol Immediately after fir
ing the shots. The shooting occasioned
a great deal of excitement on the West
Side, and for a time it looked as if
there was going to be serious trouble.

There is nothing especially new to
say about the new hotel plans" said
Mr.. C. H. Dorset, when asked yes
terday as to the progress made in the
matter of the proposed new hosiery
for Bull and State streets.
II might add however, that there
are many applicants to rent the place,
which hasn't yet even been put on
the drawing paper. 1 got one appli-
cation a few nights ago, after 1 had
gone to bed. The party was very much
in earnest and didn't want to be left
out in the calculations. 1t was one
of many and of course, all this tends
to strengthen the idea that l have
had for a long time that there is am
PIE opening for such a place as is pro-
posed.
Naturally the getting on foot of
project as large and important as the
construction of a big modern hotel
takes time and there are some things
that must be carefully looked into. The
property, as has been already stated,
is under option and everything appears
to be moving smoothly and satisfactor-
lily.
"One thing that certainly pleases
me in the matter continued Mr.. Dor
sett, land that is the unanimous YER
dict that seems to be given as to the
excellence of the project 1 havn't
so far come across a single croaker,
or anyone who has anything to offer in
objection to the scheme"

The amount levied for taxes last year
was 1858, OSS.44. The amount to be
levied this year will be decided next
October when, from the state rate
and the digest of the receiver of tax
returns showing the assessed value of
property for taxation, the amount of
the tax rate will be fixed. AS the
amount of estimated expenses is
smaller this year than last and the
amount of property returned for tax
alton will be greater, there is little
doubt but that the tax rate will be
ma terially decreased.
The amounts allowed the Telfair
Hospital and the Park View Santa
rum are the amounts requested in pc
titions to the board from the respec-
tive Institutions. In. the case of the
Georgia Infirmary, the commissioners
allowed half the amount requested.
The establishment of a Jail hospital,
and the incidental increase of the sal
airy of the county physician for his
services in connection herewith,
would, the members of the committee
thought relieve the infirmary of quite
a number of charity cases. The
amount estimated for charities this
year is $4,000 larger than that allowed
last year.
