Important Records Being Sought by
the Government
Mayor Schwarz has received a letter from
the acting auditor Of the treasury depart
ment asking for duplicates OF certificates of
the muster rolls of the battalion of troops
which was raised in Savannah in 1885 for
service against the Seminole Indians. The
battalion consisted Of three companies, A,
and G, and was commanded by Mai. C.
Stephens. Two of the companies, at least,
according to the records, were wholly or
partially paid by the city. TIE rolls bave
been missing from the auditors office since
1888. when they were returned to Savannah
at the request of Congressman g. w. Owens,
TO enable the city of Savannah to close
accounts with the troops.
The auditor asks that the city's archives be
searched and that the duplicates of the
rolls be forwarded TO Washington. The rea-
son for the request is that a number of
claims for pay, bounty land and pension.
have been filed by members Of the battalion
or their heirs, and the claims cannot be set
tied owing to the absence of the rolls. The
survivors are of course aged men and many
of them are poor. Anything due them, the
government recognizes, should be paid
promptly, and the auditor is only awaiting
the necessary evidence to audit the claims,
Clerk OF Council Rsbarer has made care
full search of the city archives, but the
papers, if they were ever filed by those who
had charge of them, were removed years
ago, and there Is no trace of them in the
city records. Mr.. Rebarer Is anxious to
secure aEy information that may lead to
their recovery.

MRS. BARNEY's GOOD WORK.
An Interesting Department Of til
w G., IT, U,

An Interesting Department Of the
w @. IT. u.
Mrs. j. X. Barney lectured last night at
the theater upon Temperance" A good
sized audience was present and thoroughly
enjoyed the lecture. On the stage with the
lecturer were Mrs. Richard Webb, r. B.
Reppard and Rev. Richard Webb.
Mrs. Barney is "a fine talker and is thor
oughiy posted on the temperance question.
She began by stating that the American
idea of temperance is to remedy
the results and not the causes of
intemperance. She illustrated this point
by showing how people supported the build
ing of asylums IN which to keep those who
are debauched, and the willingness on the
part Of the so-called philanthropists to aid
societies and organizations in taking care Of
the imtemperate wrecks, but those
people never stop to think of prevent
ing these wrecks. They do not frame laws
to prohibit intemperauce. This, she said, is
the depth OF the American idea of the ques-
ton. 1t is shallow. 1t attempts in feeble
manner to deal with the consequences Of
the evil without ever considering the thing
which produced those consequences.
At IL o'clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Barney spoke to the children at the theater
upon the right way to start in life She did

wanted to be bad. She illustrated the force
of habit, by producing a cable, composed of
many small cords. Sne asked some of the
boys to break it. She then asked them to
break one of the cords. The cords were
easily broken, but they could not be broken
when they were twisted into a cable. So
with habit when it is formed, it is too strong
to be broken.
At o'clock in the Baptist church lecture
room Mrs. Barney gave Bible reading and
made short address, which was listened Ito
by large number of interested people. She
gave an exposition of Christ feeding the
5000 with the five loaves and two fishes
She dwelt particularly upon the Savior's
gathering up the fragments. She said that
this is the work Of her department. She is
gathering up the fragments of humanity in
the prisons and jails. She made a beauti-
full application of the text to her special
feature of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union work.
Mrs. Barney will lecture and make some
addresses here to-day, speaking at the
theater again tonight on gospel temperance.
She will leave for Jacksonville tomorrow
and will spend some time in Florida.

CHEMICALLY TREATED MEAT.

Inspector Desvergers Says There Is

Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his report of IN
spections of food produce in the Savannah

ports western cold storage dressed meats
somewhat improved in quality in COMPARE
son with that of several previous weeks,
Notwithstanding the fact that some Of
it indicated to the palate such
unmistakabie evidence of chemical

presses the hope that when the cold storage
houses now being constructed at the Central

will be able to make choice of meats which
will not taste as il IL had been subjected

The inspector reports the fish market not
a good average in quality, but that it has
improved, drum coming in freely. He re-
ports the vegetable market recuperating

One Of the latest additions to Savannahs
industries is the extensive saw and planning
mill recently erected on East Broad street
foot of New Houston, by Mr.. J. J. Wall,
a well-known lumber operator. This new
plant is perfect in every detail and will turn
out an immense amount of yellow pine
lumber flooring. ceiling, weather boarding,
holdings of all kinds, scroll and turning
work, laths, shingles, etc. Mr.. Wall
operates large mills in Lowndes county,
which with the present equipment in Sa.

orders, and what is more important, make
prompt deliveries.
A feature Of this establishment will be the
absence of the usual delay in getting the

you buy or not-which with a stock second
to none, their own mills and close prices,
will certainly entitle them to reasonable

A TRIAL OR NO TRIAL.
Buttimsrs Counsel Tries a Shrew d
Dodge IN the Courts.

ButL1n ct COUNSEL IEl65 CGTGW4
Dodge In the Courts.
In the superior court yesterday Hon. F.
G. duBignon, leading counsel for Maurice
A. Butt.mer, made demand for a trial of
his client at this term or the next term,
and he asked that the demand be entered
upon the minutes.
Solicitor General Fraser resisted the mo-
ton on the ground that buttimer had
already had trial at the present term Of
the court, and is therefore not entitled 10
have his demand entered on the minutes of
the court.
Mr.. duBigaon argued that Buttimer has
hai no trial at this term, that as a mistrial
had been declared, there has been no trial
at this term. and he insisted on the court
allowing the demand TO be entered on the
minutes and he cited authorities, among
them law dictionaries. to show that a mis-
trial Is no trial at all.
Solicitor General Fraser, in reply, held
that jury had been impanelled, witnesses
examined and arguments heard, which were
constituents that went to make up a trial,
defendants counsel claiming that a trial
cannot be complete without the termination
Of final ISSUE
Judge Falligant did not pass upon the
motion. He said while the tendency of the
decisions be had examined is that mistrial
Is no trial, ne would take the matter under
AMUSEMENT as to whether the order prayed
for would be granted.
Solicitor General Frazer said Yesterday
that the counsel on the other side knew well
enough that another trial of the case can
not be heard at this term, as the calendar is
taken up, and Judge Falligant and himself
go on the circuit next month. Mr.. Fraser
says he anncuncei after the mistrial that he
would bring Buttimer to trial early in the
June term, and the effort to get the demand
for trial is not because he is unwill-
ing to enter upon second trial,
but If the demand should go in the minutes,
aud important state witnesses should be
absent, the defendant could demand dis
charge il the state was not prepared,
whereas if the state had its witnesses within
reach, 1t would not prevent counsel for de-
fendant for asking a continuance, Mr..
Fraser says there is not a case in the Georgia
reports, where demand for trial has been
allowed at a term where defendant has had
trial at that term, and the talk about the
constitutional prerogative of a speedy
trial does not apply to a defendant who has
already had one trial at the present term
and Is out on bond
Mr.. duBignon also made demand for
trial of in the case of Daniel j. Buttimer,
Lovett and Buckley, oo-defendants with
Maurice A. Buttimer, which demand was
entered in the minutes without objection.
