Military parades are not new to Sa vannah. but the one yesterday after noon had features which made it of more than passing interest. Gov. Terrell reviewed the troops, and it was the opening event of Car nival week. Either one alone was suf ficient to give an added interest to the parade, and in conjunction they made the event a notable one. Besides the militia, three companies of coast artillery from Fort Screven, under command of Col. Anderson, and Troop H, Seventh Cavalry, took part, very materially contributing to the success of the event. By 3:45 o'clock the Fort Screven companies were drawn up on Ogle thorpe avenue, near Bull, the lines ex tending east and west and facing south. Just across the grass plot was Troop H. Seventh Cavalry, under command of Lieut. Lovell. -•- —> • rV-' • t . - j ! WTOr.

Just as the hour for the start sounded from a neighboring clock, the six companies of the First Regiment arrived on Drayton street, and three companies of the Guards on Bull street, under command of Capt. Hut ton. The Chatham Artillery, under Capt. Dixon, and the Naval Reserves, under Commander Colding, had al ready put in an appearance, and were drawn up between Bull and Whitaker streets. The Hussars, Capt. Gordon commanding were drawn up, on Oglethorpe avenue, near the same cor ner. Col, Gcrdon in Command. As Gov. Terrell was the guest of Col. P. W. Meldrim. the senior colonel in the city, the command of the parade developed upon Col. G. A. Gordon, of the First Regiment. The members of the personal staff of Col. Gordon were Capt. J. G. Nelson, Capt. Thomas Hunter. Capt. J. C. Postell and Capt. G. B. Pritchard, Jr. First In the line came the three com panies of coast artillery from Ft. Screven, headed by the Ft. Screven band. With the easy swing of regu lars. the Ft. Screven men marched in perfect time to the music. They were, under command of Capts. Whitney and Doores and Lieut. Mason. Next came the six Savannah com panies of the First Regiment, under command of Lieut. Col. Grayson, and Majors Elliott and Coney. Abel's band furnished music for the regiment. Three companies of the Guards, un der command of Capt. J. A. Hutton, the senior officer, followed, their artil lery blue making a pretty contrast to the army blue of the regulars and militia. Middleton’s Band preceded the Guards. The Naval Reserves and the Chat ham Artillery with three guns, came next, followed by Troop H, Seventh Cavalry, who will appear at the Car nival this week. The ease with which the men set in their saddles provoked much comment from ihe crowd. Closing the parade were the Georgia Hussars. Capt. W. W. Gordon, ,Tr., commanding. The men were dressed In the splendid trappings of the Hus sars, and attracted much attention. Liard With Spectator*. When the order to march was Riven at 4:15 o'clock, the streets were lined with spectator* tor blocks, while the window* of neighboring house* were crowded with people. As the troops marched away the crowd hastened up Bull street In order to get a view of the parade as It turned back towards the Park Extension. Dad by mounted patrolmen to clrtir the streets, the troops turned north on Drayton street. At Congress street they turned west to Barnard, south on *Barnard to Broughton, east on Broughton to Bull, and south on Bull to the Park Extension. In front of the De Soto, the bands struck up "Dixie" and the crowds cheered. A rest of ten minutes was taken whan the head of the column reached Osston street. Rested In a carriage on the east side of the Park Extension snd opposite the monument, was <*ov. Terrell, the re viewing stand being Indicated by a small dag In front of where the car riage stood. In the carriage with the fjovemor were COI. P, W. Maldrlm, <vl. William flarrard, and OH. <t. A, Mercer, none of the party being In unlferm. In the '•rrlage next behind was Col.

A diamond robbery, upon which the detectives have been working for sev eral days, has been solved. 1t Is thought, though only a part of the diamonds have been recovered. Until the officers got the case in shape the robbery itself was kept a secret. The diamonds were stolen from a drawer in the Commercial Bank and were the property of Mr. Barron Car ter, the cashier. The robbery took place some time between Oct. 4 and 20. though it was not reported to the police until last Thursday. Six dia mond rings and a fine Smith & Wes son pistol were stolen from the draw er. The rings varied in value, being worth from $l5O to $250 each. The theft was not discovered until Oct. 20, when Mr. Carter had occasion to open the drawer. There was then no clue to the identity of the thief or thieves. After investigating the matter for a few days himself Mr. Carter called in the police. Detectives Stark and Davis have recovered two of the rings, one valued at $l5O and one at $250. and have arrested five ne groes in connection with the case, though only three of them are held as principals. The other two, who were wanted as witnesses, were re leased by the officers yesterday, after being summoned to appear in Police Court this morning. The three negroes charged directly with stealing the diamonds are Clar ence Jenkins, 14 years of age; Eddie Banaquin, 20 years, and Nelson Den ton, 18 years. None of the prisoners are connected with the bank in any way. They are supposed to have slip ped into the bank early in the morn ing, when the place was being clean ed. Two of them have been identified by a woman employed at the bank, as having been seen hanging around on the-outside for a number of morn ings while she was cleaning up. One of the rings, valued at $250, was recovered from a negro fish vendor. He was arrested by Detective Davis with the ring,on his finger. The man had obtained it from the negroes who are to be given a hearing in Police ; Court this morning, he claimed. Cir cumstances bore out this statement, the officers say. and the fish vendor, after being held at headquarters for some time, was released. He will ap j pear as a witness. i Detectives Stark and Davis are still | working on the case and think the i other rings may be recovered. The 1 accused deny their guilt. TRAIN BACKED* INTO THE GERKEN KITCHEN. A. C. L. Car* llan Into House and Demolished Fort of It. An Atlantic Coast Line train plough ed into the rear of the house at No. 719 Wheaton street yesterday morning, demolishing the, kitchen, where Mrs. Henry Gerken was preparing break fast. Mr. Gerken and a negro ser vant were also in the kitchen at the time and all of the occupants were badly shaken up. Mrs. Gerken fainted and her husband devoted his attention for some time to bringing her to. The kitchen had been pushed along for some distance. Only a short distance from the kitchen is a sidetrack of the Coast Line lead ing to L. Kay ton & Sons’ place. At the end of this track was a block to stop the cars. In backing a string of cars Into the siding, the engineer did not stop in time and the block was knocked down and the cars shoved Into the kitchen. GROVE* TASTELESS CHILL TONIC.

SAVANNAH MORNING NFWS: TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1904. ANOTHER RECORD IN COTTON TRADE MADE BY SAVANNAH’S EXPORT SHIPMENT* Y ESTER If AY 80.7W* BALES VALUED AT $4,000,000. Greatest Part of It Taken to Con tinental Port* Though Great Britain Will Get Nenrly One-Half. Over 4.000 Bale* Shipped Coast wise and OS I*e and Locally—Port Still Hold* Keeord for Receipt* to Hate. Several records have already been smashed by Savannah’s cotton trade this season and another one went yes terday. * This time anew record has been es tablished for the largest shipments for any one day in the history of the trade at this port. They amounted to more than 80,000 bales, uplands and sea islands, and their value, in round figures, is $4,000,000. Of course not all of the ships car rying this enormous amount of cot ton sailed during the day. Asa mat ter of fact one or two of them got away Saturday and others Sunday, though four of them left the harbor yesterday. Under other circumstances these shipments would have been di vided therefore between two days, but because of the late clearances Sat urday and an intervening Sunday all the cotton not reported up to the clos ing of the exchange Saturday after noon is therefore included in yester day's shipments. Huah at September'* Close. The tremendous rush of cotton at the close of September bid fair to make a record and would have done so had it been bunched, -as was that at the end of October, but even then it would not have equalled the show ing made yesterday. Though this new record is one of which the members of the cotton trade are proud, it does not equal in in terest the record made in the matter of receipts, this port having received, to date, more than 675,000 bales of c0t t0n,215,000 bales more than at the corre sponding day last season, and the largest amount ever received for the same period during any season. The following is a resume of yes terday’s shipments: British steamship Sandyfqrd, Steph ens, 2,653 tons: Liverpool, 4,050 bales upland and 50 bales sea island to Man chester; 5,070 bales uplands to Liver pool; 400 uplands to Oporto via Liv erpool; 200 uplands to Lockstock Junc tion.

STOLE CLOTHING AND WENT TO FITZGERALD. Nettie Wright was found guilty in the City Court yesterday of larceny and fined S4O or sentenced to serve six months on the chalngang by Judge Norwood. This was the second time the case came up for hearing before Judge Norwood, having been carried over once before on account of the absence of a witness. The charges were pre ferred by Florence Lovett, colored, who claimed the Wright woman had gotten the wrong clothing and de camped to Fitzgerald. Detective Mose Davis brought her back to Savannah, and on the stand testified he had In vestigated her affairs several times be fore. SEALED VERDICT IN CASE AGAINST ELECTRIC CO. The jury in the case of Thomas Smart vs. the Savannah Electric Company returned a sealed verdict last night. The suit was for SI,OOO dam ages, Smart alleging while he was a passenger on one of the cars of the defendant company he was set upon and badly beaten by the motorman. The evidence of the defense largely went to show that It was a cool night and the motorman asked Smart to close the front door. This Smart re fused to do. Finally the motorman closed the door himself, whereupon Smurt roee. opened the door, and calling the motorman a vile name, it Is alleged, at tempted to strike him. The motor man pulled his controller lever off and struck the negro over the head. November Maicaalnes. The Savannah Morning Nows, Out ing, Recreation. American Field, For est aitd Stream.

Baldwin of the Savannah Electric Company, received a letter from a large bondholder in his company yesterday objecting to the removal of the Whitaker street tracks, as had been suggested. Objections of this kind were antici pated by Mr. Baldwin, when the mov ing of the tracks was brought up. If the city really desires to have the tracks taken up, however, Mr. Bald win says, he is willing to do all he can to help the city officials overcome the many difficulties that are sure to present themselves. And he asks the very significant question, “Will the city be willing to assume the liability for all suits that might arise from the removal of the tracks?" The city, of course, would not. Mr. Baldwin says if he wished to move the tracks he would, of course, be willing to assume this liability, but as the suggestion comes from the city, he thinks the city should take the re sponsibility. The city not being will ing to do this, the plan to have the tracks taken up will doubtless fall through. Asa matter of fact, the city officials themselves do not care about pushing the matter now* they have been shown how many objections there will be to the plan. In regard to moving the tracks to the eastern side of the street by Forsyth Park and the Park Exten sion, Mr. Baldwin says he has no ob jection to the idea, if the city author ities desire the change. The city officials, however, do not take much interest in the suggestion, though It is approved by the public generally. Mr. Baldwin says it would not do to put the tracks on one side of the street, except by the Park and the Park Extension, as the property owners on the street would want the tracks on the side opposite. SIXTEEN BARRiLS OF TURPENTINE SEIZED. Inspector Register Found Spirit* Which Had Been Adnlterated, By order of Judge Cann, Sheriff Schwarz seized sixteen barrels of tur pentine yesterday, on report of Naval Stores Inspector Register to the effect that they were ’adulterated and not properly marked as such, according to the laws of the state. Thirteen barrels were consigned the Peacock, Hunt & West Com pany, and three to Hunter, Pearce and Battey. The turpentine will, no doubt be sold at public auction a.nd the proceeds of the sale ‘added to the fine docket of the Superior Court. The fact that the spirits was seized as the property of the naval stores com panies, does not indicate they had any knowledge of the adulteration. In fact the law regarding adulteration w*as passed at the instance of the naval store dealers. 1,000 hew Hats 1,000. h'o Two Alike. Open and Ready To-Day.

Meeting of Street* and lane* Com mittee To-day Will Be One of Mo*t Important Held in n Long While—Aldermen Determined to Make Next Year a Banner One. So Far a* Paving la Concerned—Fight for Feed Contract I* On. The meeting of the Streets and Lanes Committee, which was post poned from Saturday until yesterday, was again postponed and will be held to-day. The meeting promises to be the most important that has been held in a long while, as besides a number of matters that have already been announced, the paving work for next year will be discussed, and probably in a large measure determined. Whatever streets this committee de cides should be paved next year. Coun cil is very apt to act favorably upon. While Council is not required to fol low th 6 recommendations of the com mittee in making up a schedule for street paving, the chances are this will be done. To begin with there are five aldermen on the committee and this gives it a big advantage at the start with any proposition the committee might unanimously recommend. lOOfi to Be Danner Year. So far as the paving work is con cerned, 1905 will be made the banner year In the city's history. This year the appropriation for paving was cut down by reason of the improvements being made In other lines, but prac tically all the aldermen agree that a large appropriation should be given this department for the coming year. At the meeting to-day the committee will discuss the paving In a general way and some of the streets will prob ably be determined. It will probably be several weeks, however, before the entire paving schedule is made up. Many of the streets now under dis cussion for paving have already been mentioned. Abercorn, Price, Lincoln, Whitaker, Bay and several of the in tersecting streets between Bull and Drayton streets, not already paved, have been suggested. The matter will be gone over thoroughly by the com mittee before any recommendation is made to Council. The entire work that is to be done next year will be agreed upon in advance and most of the ordinances introduced in Council about the same time. Feed Fight I* On. There is a lively fight on for the reed contract for the Streets and Lanes Department for the coming month. Some time ago, it will be remembered, the grain combine here went to pieces, but recently the dealers have gotten together again, and they now all sub mit the same bids for the city busi ness. There are a number of firm claiming it Is their time to get the contract. During the few months the com bine was out of business, the various firms submitted different bids and the contracts were awarded to the lowest bidders. With all the firms bidding the same, it is difficult to determine who should be given the contract first. It has been suggested that the contract be given out from month to month In alphabetical order, but those whose names begin with letters to wards the end of the alphabet object to this. The bids for the artificial stone side walk through the Park Extension are to be opened also. NEGRO FIREd’sHOT AT A MOTORMAN. Trouble on E. & W. Belt Line Car Followed by Shooting. Just as he left an E. and W. belt car at Bay and Drayton streets early last night, a negro fired a pistol, pre sumably at the motorman. The man was pursued for some distance, but escaped.

Police Found the Corpse Holding Child in Her Arms. With a ba-by clasped in the lifeless arms, are body of Annie Brazeman, a negro woman, was found in her bed at her home at East Broad and Thir ty-sixth streets, shortly before 11 o’clock, last night by Mounted Patrol men McCarthy and Harper, who had gone to the house to arrest Jim Braze rrfan, the woman’s husband. Two small children were in the bed with the corpse. Neither the children nor the other occupants of the house knew the woman was dead. The hus band fearing arrest was hiding out, and was also ignorant of his wife’s death. Coroner Keller was notified and made an investig*ation. Heart disease is supposed to have caused the death. The body was still warm when the patrolmen found it, showing the wom an had been dead only a short time. Annie Taylor, a negro woman who lives nearby had requested the hrrest of Jim Brazeman for cursing her. Awed by the presence of the dead wom an, she asked to be allowed to with draw the charges. . CONSOLIDATION CAUSES DECREASE IN PERMITS. The number of building permits Is sued during the month just ended was not quite so large as the number is sued during October of last year. This year the permits are being consolidat ed as far as Dossible. so that the total number Issued really means very lit tle. Only one permit is often issued for a number of houses. Most of the permits during October are for re pairs. This is always the case, as property owners often will not fix their houses until after the close of the renting season. OFFICER RESCUED LADY FROM A CRAZY CAT. Answering the telephone at an ear ly hour this morning. Desk Sergeant McCool at police headquarters was told by an excited feminine voice to send an officer at once to her house to get a mad cat that was in her room. The cat was crazy, the lady said, and could not be made to leave her room. She described the antics of the c’at so vividly that Sergeant McCool sent Patrolman Beaber, the sally port man, to the house at once. There a kitten, frightened almost to death, was found crouching in one corner of the room. The officer opened the window and the cat at once escaped. Other parties in the house had been chasing the cat, it Was learned, and had bad ly frightened it. QUAIL SHOOTING SEASON FOR 1904 OPENS TO'DAY. Enthusiastic followers of the gun and dog will take advantage of the.splen did season which now prevails, to go out and shoot quail to-day, the open ing of the season of 1904. Hunters argue that it is too dry now for good results with bird dogs. They do not scent the birds readily, and in the still comparatively warm weather quickly tire out. Many will go out, however, to try their luck and find the walks of old Bob White. FOR STEALING EARRINGS. For the larceny of a lot of earrings from D. L. McCay, Sidney Francis, a negro, was remanded to the City Court by the Recorder yesterday morning. The earrings were stolen several days ago from In front of the post office.
