GUARDS BACK FROM CAMP.
1 LITTLE SI Mil USED. BI T IS
SPLENDID CONDITION.
Thrlr Record Was a Creditable One
and They Harr Hraaoo IO Feel
Proud of Their Work in Camp.
Had Everything Their Own Way
at the Targrta, With no C'liniprll
tors—They Col a Full Share of
Other Honors Also The N% inner*
of the Battalion and Company
Prise*.
The Guards battalion arrived from camp
yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock, having
broker, camp at Griffin Immediately after
breakfast.
The battalion arrived half an hour ear
lier than expected and consequently there
was no detachment of the home contin
gent on hand to escort the camp veterans
from the depot to the arsenal. There was
a slight drizzle at the time, but Col. Gar
rard promptly marched the battalion
down Liberty street and to the arsenal on
Bull street.
On arriving at the arsenal the compa
nies were dismissed to their company quar
tors. Refreshments had been provided in
each company room in the shape of lteer
and sandwiches and were partaken of
with & relish l>y the boys after their long
march. The Guards looked bronzed and
soldier like and marched with a firm and
confident step. They did not appear to
be In the least Jaded by the week in camp
and with the exception of the sunburn,
which will wear ofT In a few days, there
was nothing to indicate that they had
been undergoing severe duty.
The facts are that It did not take the
Guards long to learn that camp life was
business and not a frolic. Many of them
bad been there before and knew this and
the others were not long in finding it out.
Asa result Instead of staying in Griffin
every night untH after midnight they
were in their tents and asleep two to three
hours before and were in shape to get
right to work when the bugle call awoke
them the next morning.
The camp was one or the most success
ful the battalion has ever attended. Th'
Guards acquitted themself,# with credit
in every department ot the camp duty,
whether on parade, guard mount or at the
targets. Their company streets were kept
In perfect condition and they were highly
complimented on this feature by iho
United States Inspecting officers. At the
targets the Guards were supreme. Besides
securing four sharpshooters and seven
marksmen, twenty-three men qualified in
the first and second classes, making thir
ty-two men In all who made creditable
scores at the targets.
The Atlanta companies and other com
panies of the Fifth regiment, which was
in camp with the Guards, did not go to
the targets at all, and some of the
Guards marksmen were unkind enough
to express the opinion that the Atlanta
men did not shoot because they knew they
would be badly beaten by the Guards.
Lieut. F. C. Wlls'on's score of 15fi out of
a possible 175 Is something of which every
member of the battalion Is proud as it
distances by long odds all previous rec
ords on the skirmish ranges of the state,
while the score of 135 by Private Ed Mer
cer of Company A, and 132 by Private H.
E. Wilson of Company B are themselves
ahead of anything ever done in camp be
fore in the way of target shooting.
Col. Garrard Is well pleased with the
showing made by the battalion in camp.
The men acquitted themselves with credit,
which is no more than he expected, out
In everything pertaining to work of the
soldier a high standard was established
and maintained.
Several battalion and company prizes
■were awarded at the close of the camp.
The First battalion prize of 110 for the
best kept tent, was awarded to Privates
Colgate and J. I. Bond of Company B. The
second prize for tha best kept tent was
awarded tu Corporal F. W. Garden and
Private J. A. Robeson of Company A. In
each company a prize of 110 was awarded
to the member whose gun and accoutre
ments were found to be In the best condi
tion at the close of the camp. These, prizes
were awarded as follows: Company A.
Sergeant A. S. Haines; Company B, Pri
vate E. J. Thomas; Company C, Sergeant
J. S. Bond; Company D, Corporal J. O.
Hatch.
Company II secured two orderlies during
the week. Privates Thomas and H. A.
Crane. The latter was also commended
by Lieut. Brown, U. 6. A., for his knowl
edge of the duties of the sentinel.
Col. Garrard requests the Morning News
to state that the announcement that the
Guards gave a german at camp was an
error. There was nothing of the kind.
Some of the members of the battalion got
up a german by subscription among
themselves in order to return courtesies
shown them in Griffin, but the german was
not given by the battalion and the officers
had no control of it whatever.
RESERVES I P FROM T V III'H.
The Naval Militia's Big Time at Sen
and on Land.
The Savannah Naval Reserve returned
to the city yesterday after a four days’
encampment at the Zorayda Club on Ty
bee. The camp was named Camp Colding
by a unanimous vote of the company In
honor of their commanding officer.
The boys spent tho day yesterday In
drilling and in packing up to return home.
For most of the day the rain came down
in torrents, and they had opportunity to
do very little out of door work. They had
a drill in the morning, however, and at
3:30 o'clock the assembly was sounded, and
the company massed to repel an imaginary
attack. After this drill the boys prepar
ed to break camp and everything was
packed up and nut In readiness for the
4:10 train from the island on which they
came up to the city. The stay-at-homes did
not know at Just what hour to expect
them, and for this reason did not turn
out. The returning members of the com
pany, however, easily found their way
back to the armory.
Altogether the boys have had a delight
ful encampment, and everyone of them
is heartily pleased with it. The only
thing they kick on at all is the mosquitos,
and most of the members of the
company lost some hours from sleep fight
ing off droves of them. They were not
provided with nets, and when the mos
quitoes of Tybee got wind of that fact
they made the Zorayda Club headquar
ters. and most of them spent the night
there. Many members of the company
bear the marks of numerous encounters.
The boys are telling a good one on Quar
termaster M. S. Herman. Two or three of
them had to lift him into position when ho
sighted the six-inch gun on the Amphl
trite, and several members of tho com
pany arc still laughing over the picture
he presented.'
Their camping experience and work on
the ship has been anew one all around,
but thev have learned a good deal, enough
at least to keep.them busy practicing for
somefime to come. And when the Am
phitrite comes again there is no doubt
they will know all that has been taught
them, and considerable more besides.

CROWDS AFTER THE GHOST.
The Evans Family Left Their House
on Aeeouut of Their Weird Visitor.
Mrs. Mary Evans and family moved out
of No. 23 Wilson street yesterday, leaving
the ghost, which has haunted the house
for the last four days In undisputed pos
session.
The noise and confusion of moving and
of the crowds which surrounded the
house all day and last night probably
frightened the ghost, as its appearances
were not frequent as they have been for
the previous four days. One boy claimed
to have seen It during the day, but his
story was not authenticated. Members of
the family, stated, however, that the
ghost made his regular appearance Sun
day night and prevented the family from
getting any sleep.
The reason of their removal, it was stat
ed, was that they were worn out with sit
ting up four nights in succession and Wt-re
compelled to move in order that they
might get some place where they could
get needed rest. The family removed to a
house on Roberts street.
The account of the ghostly proceedings
in the Morning News was the talk of the
town yesterday and crowds of people vis
ited the house all day and last night.
When a Morning News reporter reached
there at 9:30 o'clock last night there were
500 people gathered In the neighborhood
and the doors had been locked in order to
keep out the curious crowds that sought
admittance. Mrs. J. P. Mclntyre, the own
er of the property, was In charge. Mrs.
-Mclntyre was very Indignant at the re
ports which had been put In circulation
concerning the house and charged that it
had been <fane with a purpose. She was
born and reared in the house, she said,
and had never seen or heard of ghosts
there before. She declared her willingness
to remain In the house alone all night and
evidently meant what she said.
The situation of the house Is peculiarly
favorable to ghostly manifestation, or,
rather, to conditions which would give
rise to such reports. The Evans family
formerly lived in the corner houae, but
recently moved into the house immedi
ately adjoining the corner houses. The
two houses were formerly one house,
which was divided into two. Access can
be* readily had from one house to the
other by the connecting doors on the sec
ond floor. Besides the entrances to the
two houses on Wilson street, there are
two entrances on Walker street, besides
the entrances and exits in the rear. In
fact, the house occupied by the Evans
family Is accessible to intruders from half
a dozen different directions, and there
are many who think that this is the ex
planation of the whole matter. Their
theory is that some impecunious neigh
or has been entering the dining room in
search of eatables, which explains the
belief of the family that the ghost al
ways came from the dining room.
These appearances once attributed to
supernatural causes, It was easy enough
for the members of the family to conjure
up ghostly visitors from every light and
shadow. There Is an electric light on the
corner, and the explanation offered by the
police is that the ghostly sights witnessed
In the house were nothing but reflections
thrown from the street light. The two
taken together would furnish a sufficient
explanation of the matter.
Still there are any number of people
In the neighborhood who believe that the
ghost actually made his appearances as
described and those who claim to have
seen it are ready to describe their grue
some feelings when in the presence of the
apparition. One old woman Informed a
Morning News reporter that she saw the
ghost and held a conversation with It,
but what the conversation was she de
clined to say. It warned her not to tell
anyone, she said. The ghost, she said,
was that of old man Hendricks, who died
in the house about three months ago. She
closed the old man's eyes when he died,
and knew him well. Hendricks was a
fisherman over 70 years of age, who came
here from Augusta not long before his
death.
Nov.- that the house is vacant It is prob
able that the ghostly appearances will
cease. There will doubtless be persons
who will be ready to assert that they had
seen the ghost moving about the house,
but the story, in all likelihood, will soon
die out.
THE HUSSARS TAKE ACTION.
A Iteaolntlon Passed With Regard
to the Shooting on June 14.
At the meeting of the Georgia Hussars,
held at their armory last night, the ex
ecutive committee made a report with
regard to the Lincoin-Reeves shooting,
that took place there Sunday night, June
14, Just as the club was closing for the
night.
All matters of this kind are always tak
en up first by the executive committee,
composed of eleven members, and by that
committee a report, Is made to the club,
at least forty members of which must
be present. In order to take action with
regard to it. There were more than sixty
members present at last night's meeting.
The report of the committee was in the
shape of a resolution providing, in sub
stance. that Mr. John R. Young be en
tirely exonerated and highly commended
for the part he took in striving to pre
vent the difficulty; that Dr. F. T. Lincoln
be permitted to resign, and In withholding
a similar recognition of the acts and con
duct of Mr. Walter Reeves, the committee
stated it did not ignore the fact of an
altercation, but did so on account of tho
degree of culpability.
The report concluded with the state
ment that any other acts of this kind
would be promptly noticed and the sever
est penalty meted out. The report of the
committee was adopted as read, and to
ward the conclusion of the meeting the
resignation of Dr. Lincoln was handed in
and accepted.
TO HAVE A ItOOF GARDEN.
Some llnnilKoime Improvements to Do
Made on the Hussars’ Armory.
The Georgia Hussars are going to make
some more extensive improvements on
their armory. They decided last night to
give the building committee full power
to act in erecting the two new stores that
will be placed between the veranda of the
club and Liberty street lane.
These two stores will be one-story in
hight, and above them will be a roof gar
den, with a flooring of marble tile, and a
facade of ornamental terracotta. The
roof garden will be covered by an awning,
and will be reached from tho present ve
randa by marble steps.
The structure will be Venetian Gothic
in design, and will be a handsome addi
tion to the building. The plans for these
have already been drawn by Architect A.
S. Eichberg, and the building will begin
within a month. The Hussars expect to
have the work completed by Oct. l. The
club already has several applications for
these stores, but will advertise for bids
from prospective tenants.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 180(5.
A. A. LAWRENCE IS REGISTRAR.
APPOINTED AS REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE CITIZEN'S t'LIU
In Place of John I. Morrissey, Re
signed—Both Clubs Have Pat Men
Hack In Cai>t. McGowan’* office to
See How the Registration Is Go
ing—They Find It Very Slow, How
ever—Neither of Them Has Any
Authority to Pay Taxes of Prospec
tive Voters—Clin Iha in the Only
Large County That Will Send a
Solid Sound Money Delegation.
Judge Falligant signed an order yester
day as chairman of the registration com
mission of the county accepting the resig
nation as registrar of Mr. John I. Morris
sey. and appointing Mr. Alexander A.
Lawrence as the representative of the Cit
izens Club faction to serve in his place.
Mr. Morrissey, who was on thfie board
of registrars as.the representative of that
faction, tendered his resignation at the
time he left the Citizens Club. The other
registrars are Mr. W. P. Bailey, repre
senting the Liberal Club, and Mr. T. P.
Johnson, representing the republican
party. The registrars take the registra
tion books twenty days before the elec
tion, go over them, thoroughly take off all
the disqualified voters whose names may
have crept in, and make up the lists to be
used on election day by the election man
agers.
The two factions have begun figuring
on the registration now for the October
election. They have begun to watch the
registration books again, this work hav
ing been suspended for some time prior to
the primary election. Mr. R. J. Warwick,
representing the Citiaens Club, called at
the office of Capt. J. J. McGowan, the tax
collector, yesterday morning at 9 o'clock,
when the registration books opened for
the -lay, and said he had been sent there
by that club to remain there during the
hours for registration. He took the place
of Mr. C. A. Gradot in that capacity Just
before the primary.
Shortly afterward Mr. John IJlnon enter
ed the office as the representative In the
same capacity of the Liberal Club, and
both remained there during the day. It
Is understood that neither one of them
has any authority to pay hack taxes for
voters, and their mission there is simply
to keep an eye on the lists, and find out
who Is getting ready to vote. If there is
any necessity for paying a voter’s taxes
however, that, no doubt, can be arranged
through the heads of either (action, ac
cording to the inclinations of the voter.
Neither these representatives of the fac
tions nor the registry clerk, Mr. W. F.
Sullivan, are having much work to do
now in that connection. Only four voters
were registered yesterday, and the num
ber remains about that figure from day
to day. The registration is exceedingly
quiet and Is likely to remain so until the
election approaches, or until about Sept. 1.
There is some likelihood of Its becoming
quite brisk at that time, as the Citizens
Club members say they have about 1,000
more crackers they can register, and the
members of the other faction assert that
their entire strength is by no means on
the registration books yet.
Chatham county is the only large county
in the. state that will send a solid sound
money delegation to the state convention.
There are one or two counties In the
southern part of the state, and isolated
instances of counties in other sections
that will send two sound money delegates,
but they are few and far between. All of
the large counties, Chatham excepted,
will either send a divided delegation or
one that favors silver. There are no new
developments with regard to the contest
between the sets of delegates represent
ing the two factions here. Hoth are de
termined, and both are equally confident
that their view of the case will be accept
ed by the convention.
FROM THE STATE AT LARUE.
Judge Norwood Talked of for Dele
gate to Chicago.
It Is reported % some of the friends
of Judge T. M. Norwood will carry his
name before the state convention for the
position of one of the delegates from the
state-at-large to the national democratic
convention to be held In Chicago next
month.
Judge Norwood Is being quite generally
spoken of In this connection, for his strong
stand on the free silver side of the money
question Is well known and thefe Is hard
ly a doubt anywhere that Georgia will be
overwhelmingly that way when it comes
to the state convention. A correspondent
writing to the Liberty County Herald on
this subject says:
“As our state democratic convention is
near at hand, our seaboard counties ought
to begin to speak out and select fit and
proper persons from our section of tho
state as delegates to our national conven
tion. We are certainly entitled to one of
the four delegates from the state-at-large,
besides two from this congressional dis
trict.
"It seems to me the time is now ripe,
and exceedingly propitious to put forward
our great commonor and distinguished
statesman Judge T. M. Norwood. Judge
Norwood has certainly been a martyr In
the cause of our country people. He has
stood the storm of the Sa%’annah Cotton
Exchange and Board of Trade, and was
defeated for renomination to congress be
cause he favored the restoration of silver
to its proper place and position at the ra
tio of 16 to 1. ns it was prior to the act
of 1873, Besides this there is no man in
the state that could be of greater service
in shaping our national platform than
Judge Norwood. He has had long exper
ience in public life and stands second to
none in our state as a deep thinker and
far-seeing statesman.”
The writer pays a deserved compliment
to Judge Norwood's ability, and if silver
it is to be, no abler exponent of that doc
trine can be found anywhere in the state.
RECTOR OF THE CATHEDRAL.
It Is Said Vicar General 11. J. Kelley
Will Be Appointed.
It is now pretty well understood that
Rev. Father B. J. Keiley of Sts. Peter
and Paul ohurch of Atlanta is to be vicar
general of tho diocese of Savannah, and
rector of the Cathedral of St. John the
Baptist, in place of Rev. Father Edward
Cafferty, deceased.
Father Keiley was acting as vicar gen
eral prior to the death of Father Caffer
ty, there being then two vicar generals in
the diocese. As Father Keiley already
holds an appointment as vicar general,
practically the only appointment to be
made is that of rector of the cathedral.
Father Kelley Is well-known in Savan
nah, having been here often, and on many
important church occasions. Bishop
Becker has not even intimated to members
of the congregation what he will do in
the matter, but it seems to be pretty well
understood that Father Keiley will be the
rector.
It is stated also that Rev. Father Louis
Bazin, who has been in Savannah as one
of the priests of the cathedral parish for
the last two years, is to go to Atlanta to
succeed Father Kelley as priest of Sts.
Peter ami Paul church there.
Father Bazin is one of the oldest priests
in the diocese having hjen connected witrt
it about twenty-six or twenty-seven years.
He came to Savannah about two yeats
ago from Washington, Ga., where he had
charge for a number of years of the S*
Joseph’s Male Orphange. The announce
ments will probably be made at soin S.in
dav morning service and it is expected
within the next week or two.

The misunderstanding about the grades
of three of the young ladies of the grad
uating class has caused a great deal of
Indignation among their friends. The
marks of two of the young ladies would
entitle them to places among the first
of the readers; and they were denied hon
ors because they had studied only two
years in the school instead of three. The
young ladies are Misses Elise Moyer, Lada
Moynelo and Hattie Olver. The school
authorities, ‘however, after considering
matters, allowed them readers' places.
A. R. 11, MEN MUST GET OUT.
Given Until To-ilay by the Plant
System to Deelile AVhat They’ll Do.
The employes of the Plant system In Sa
vannah, and doubtless elsewhere on the
system as well, are discussing with great
interest Just now the position which the
officials of the company have taken with
regard to the American Railway Union
and the manner in which they are en
forcing it.
The employes have simply been given
to understand that no member of the
American Railway Union can remain in
the employ of the Plant system, and that
it is a question of getting out of the
union or getting out of the employ of
the company. About two weeks ago the
employes of the car shops here were given
notice to this effect. The question as to
whether or not they were members of the
union was put to them directly by the
foreman, and ■ they were informed that
those who were members must present
their withdrawal cards by June 24.
It seems that this notice was not com
plied with. Saturday A. E. Haines, pres
ident of the local branch of the union,
and an employe of the carpenter shop,
was dismissed. Yesterday morning Frank
Barber, secretary of the local union, and
two or three others, received notice of
their dismissal. How many other dismis
sals have been made is not known, but
others are expected.
An official of the Plant system, who was
spoken to about the matter, said that he
knew nothing of the reported discharges,
but he was satisfied that any member
of the A. K. I', who failed to withdraw
from the organization immediately, would
be discharged whenever his membersn'p
became known to the officials. It is the
policy of the company not to give employ
ment to members of the union, he said.
Another official of the company in dis
cussing the matter said that there is an
agreement among the large railroad sys
tems of this section to not employ mem
bers of the American Railway Union, and
to discharge all employes who remained
in the union.
Having knocked out the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, it seems that Su
perintendent Dunham has decided to keep
his hand in on the A. R. V. The organi
zation is weak in this section of the coun
try though strong in the north and west.
It was thought sometime ago that the an
tagonisms of the A. R. U. to the B. L. E.
would recommend the former to the
Plant system, which was said to be get
ting rid of the brotherhood men. It
seems that the A. R. U. men meet with
even less consideration. The A. R. U. n
cludes railroad men of all classes. Its
great contest with the railroads in Chi
cago, under the leadership of Eugene V.
Debs in 1894, is still well remembered.
RACE OF THE WHITE WINGS.

The ladles’ day regatta of the Savannah
Yacht Club will take place to-morrow.
The regatta will be sailed over the Thun
derbolt course, starting from In front of

SUING FOR BIG DAMAGES.
JOH\ EDWARD O'SILLIVAX ASKS
FOR *20.000 FOR A LEG.
He XVas Compelled by a Train-
Hand of the Plant System to Jnmp
From a Moving Train at the Point
of a Pistol—A. Uumtlou *as to
Whether He Ilatl Any Right to Be
on the Train—Return Day in the
City Court—V Little Criminal Busi
ness in Both Courts.
The suit of John Edward O’Sullivan by
bis next friend. Jordan F. Brooks, against
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
road for $20,000 damages for personal In
juries, was the most important matter
that attracted the attention of any of the
courts yesterday.
O'Sullivan is about 18 years old. Septem
ber 14, 1804, while he was riding on a
freight train between Bolton and Ander
son streets as he alleges in the declara
tion, while the train was in motion, one of
the brakemen or train hands endeavored
■to compel him to get down off the train.
This he says he refused to do while the
train was In motion, whereupon the train
hand pulled a pistol and threatened to
shoot If he did not get off. Frightened by
the threat he states he started to jump
off and in doing so fell under the train
where his right leg was so badly crushed
that it had to be amputated Just above the
ankle. This he says, has disabled him for
life, and under the circumstances under
which he claimed he was forced off the
■train, he alleges gross negligence and
claims damages to the extent of $20,000.
The plaintiff is represented by Maj. P.
W. Meldrlm and Mr. T. S. Morgan, Jr.,
and the defendant company by Messrs.
Erwin dußlgnon & Chisholm. The defend
ant claims O'Sullivan had no right on the
freight train whatever, and that he took
all responsibility in his own hands when
he boarded It. Furthermore it is claimed
the company is not responsible for any ac
tion of the train hand as the conductor is
the only person authorized to put any
body off a train. The case was continued
until late in the evening, but at the time
of adjournment all the testimony had not
been heard. It will be taken up again this
morning.
Yesterday was return day In the city
court fof the July term, and a large num
ber of suits on promissory notes, accounts
and other debts were filed. There were
very few damage suits, the only one of
importance being that of Thos. S. Rogers,
against the Central of Georgia Railway
Company. Rogers was employed as a ma
chine hand at the Central railroad shops,
and on April 20, he states, while trying to
avoid an injury from a falling sill or heavy
timb r. he missed his footing and broke
his left arm by the fall. He asks damages
in the sum of SI,OOO.
The grand jury of the city court return
ed the following indictments after its ses
sion yesterddy afternoon:
Sydney Lilienthal, assaulting and beat
ing A. N. O’Keefe, June 13.
T. W. Harvey, assaulting and beating
John Peters, April 29.
William Bond and Profit Bond were in
dicted for using opprobrious words to and
about A. M. Barbee on Jan. 11.
Morgan Joyce was indicted for the lar
ceny of a gold scarf pin from the house
of Josephine Houston, Dec. 17, 1895.
Lymus Green, alias Brown, was indict
ed for carrying a concealed weapon.
The grand Jury will meet next Friday
afternoon at 1 o’clock to receive the re
ports from its committees, after which it
will make up its general presentments.
These will be made to the court on Mon
day and that body will then adjourn for
the term.
J. A. Reynolds was tried In the supe
rior court on a charge of larceny after
trust, it being claimed that he sold a bi
cycle belonging to J. L. Cunningham and
appropriated the proceeds to his own use.
The defense contended he was a member
of the firm and had a perfect right to dis
pose of the wheel! He was defended by
Mr. W. F. Slater. Up to a late hour last
night the Jury had not agreed, and it looks
like a mistrial.
Hector Bryan, charged with burglary
on May 15, of the house of Rosa Middle
ton, where It is alleged he stole a silver
watch and some clothing, pleaded guilty
to larceny from the house under the value
of SSO, and was sentenced to spend twelve
months on the chain-gang.
The case of Policeman J. B. York
charged with exhibiting obscene
graphs, has never been brought to the
attention of the grand jury in either
court, the solicitor general said yesterday.
The impression has been created that the
case was taken up and no bill found
No one has yet taken the matter before
that body.
Mr. Horace A. Crane, guardian of John
Felder Charlton, minor, reported to the
superior court in accordance with instruc
tions he had reinvested money belonging
to his ward, in six shares of Southern
Bank stock, at $170.25, and twelve shares
of Southwestern railroad stock at $92 25
making' a total of $2,128.50.
Mr. Crane, as guardian of Emily W. and
Georgia A. Charlton, was directed to in
vest $2,602.12 in stocks of the Southern
Bank, the Southwestern and Augusta and
Savannah railroads and the Chatham
Real Estate and Improvement Company.
The case of Wise against Mitchell came
up before Judge Faliigant yesterday on a
motion fora new triai. The case is a land
ejectment suit pending in Bryan county
court, and was won by the defendant
Mitchell. The motion for anew trial was
argued in chambers yesterday by Col R
E. Lester and Mr. A. C. Wright for the
plaintiff and by Mr. P. W. Williams for
the defendant. Judge Faliigant reserved
his decision.
ITS TWENTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY.
Four Brilliant Speakers for the Sa

The twenty-first anniversary of the Sa
vannah Rifle- Association will be cele
brated in a right royal manner by a din
ner to be given at the South End hotel,
Tybee. next Friday night, June 36.
There will be only four regular toasts,
but they will be responded to by four of
Savannah’s brightest and best known af
ter-dinner speakers, Judge Robert Falii
gant, Hon. F. G. dußignon, Messrs. J.
R. Saussy and Walter G. Charlton. Sa
vannahians have often heard these speak
ers, but it is an extremely rare thing
that such a magnitleent quartette has
been found on the same toast list. The
train on which the members of the asso
ciation and their guests will go to Ty
hee will leave the city about 7 o'clock
city time, and the dinner wijl be served at
8 o'clo k. Returning, the party will leave
the island about 11 o’clock, city time it
having been arranged to have the last
train held an hour later than the usual
leaving time. There will be about 75 mem
bers and guests in the party, and the
occasion will be. one of the most notab'e
in the history of the association.

SAVAAXAH MADE BIT O\E IIIX.
The Auxuitana Wiped Ip the Earth
With the Savaunah Boy*.
It was a sorry crowd that stood around
Fernandez's yesterday afternoon and
watched the bulletin board as the score
of the Augusta-Savannah game was post
ed by innings.
About 5 o’clock the score began to come
in, and from then until the end of the
game the crowd was so large that the
sidewalk was impassable.
For the first three innings goose eggs
were marked up for both teams, and it
began to look as if the game would be a
battle royal. When the fourth inning
came in, with three for Augusta and noth
ing ror Savannah, a chorus of groans went
up from the crowd. The next inning
brought runs for neither side, but the
sixth with four for Augusta and naught
for Savannah.
was blue by this time,
and the betting was in favor of Augusta.
The only bet recorded, however, was one
between Frank, a cripple newsboy, and a
well-known gentleman. Frank bet the
gentleman a newspaper against 5 cents
mat Savannah would win.
■ !?fJ ie V !nth innin S brought four and the
eighth three more for Augusta, but the
young man who acted as artist continued
to mark up great big goose eggs for the
Savannah boys.
The score was now 14 to 0 in favor of
Augusta, and the only consolation the
crowd looked for was the saving of Sa
vannah from a shut-out. When the ninth
inning came and Savannah was credited
with one run, those whose hearing was
good say there was a slight cheer, but if
It was given it was terribly weak and al
most inaudible.
The great game was over and the Sa
vannah C. L. A. had met the greatest
Waterloo in its history. But a team can
not win always, and Savannah's turn will
come again.
There is a probability that the game will
be protested by Savannah, as Augusta
played a battery, the members of which
were, according to the rules of the league
not eligible to play. Short and N'ally are
the battery for the University of Georgia
base ball team and Augusta sent for
them to help win the game.
The story of the game, as told by the
Augusta correspondent of the Morning
News, is as follows:
Augusta, June 22.—The Savannah boys
lost to-day because they were outplayed
at every point and unable to bat Short.
The game was slow except to the Au
gustan*. Up to the third inning the
chances were for rattling good hail, but
when Augusta got in her three runs mat
ters changed. The grounds were in per
fect condition* and fully 2,500 people wit
nessed \he game. Savannah was repre
sented by a couple of hundred rooters,
and lady friends. Many Augustans wore
Savannah’s colors. This was because of
the rivalry between the local C. D. A.
and the Y. M. C. A.
Augusta's stick and team work was ex
cellent and after the third Inning Savan
nah was not in the game at all. There was
great shouting in the ninth inning by Sa
vannah's rooters when Murray made the
only run for their side and saved the For
est City boys from a shut out. Augusta's
battery did much toward winning the
game, striking out 13 men. Then Augusta
made only one error to Savannah’s nine,
which helps tell the tale. The score fol

Dr. Barbot.
It looks now as If Augusta would win
the first series. Savannah dropped from
first to second place in the league stand
ing bv yesterday’s defeat, and Augusta
now leads.
Augusta and Charleston will play the
last game of this series Thursday, and as
the game is to be played in Augusta the
chances are that that city will be victo
rious.
A great dead depends upon this game
If Augusta wins, it will also have won
the first series. If Charleston wins it
will make a tie between the three clubs
as each will have a percentage of 500 Of
course, the Savannah boys want Charles
ton to win this time.
This is the way the clubs now stand-
