TO PASS THROUGH SAVANNAH.
The Third Georgia Veterans on Their
Way to Now York Thia Month

The Third Georgia Veterans on Their
Way to New York This Month.
The veterans of the Third Georgia will
arrive in Savannah en- route for New York
April 10, aud will sail on the steamer City
of Augusta on that day. They will partici-
pate in the anniversary celebration of the
Hawkins Zouave Association. Last wear a
delegation of the Zouaves attended the re-
union OF the Third Georgia at Fort Valley
and were entertained by them.
1t was the good or bad fortune of these
two commands to be pitted against each
other upon several battlefields in Virginia
and North Carolina, and those contentious,
as the lawyers call them, have brought them
near together in these piping times of peace.
1t would not be bad idea FOR the mill
tary of Savannah to give the veterans an
cort on their way from the hotel to the
steamer There will not be over twenty-five
or thirty In the delegation, but they repre-
sent host of heroes to whom honor is due.
The Third Georgia's invitation of the
ZouaveS to go north was accepted at the
regiments last reunion at Irwinton, year
ago. 1t was expected there would be a
large delegation Of the veterans and their
families, but failing to secure reduced rates
except for the veterans themselves the party
will be smaller than was first arranged for.

| a Houngy Iady Enters Upon Her Nov
iceship as a sister of Mercy.
A very impressive ceremony took place
yesterday morning at the chapel Of the
Convent OF Mercy Miss Katie Edwards Of
Augusta was received into the convent.
Bishop Becker oficiated, assisted by Vicar
General Rev. Father Cafferty. TIE affairs
were tastefully adorned with flowers and
radiant with burning tapers. As the bishop
began the mass and the choir chauted the
hymn, 30 Gloriosa Domino the process
sion moved up the middle aisle, headed by
Miss Hattie Masters, attired in white
and bearing the cross. Next came five
little girls-Missss May Hogan, Angie
Goette, Nellie Lyons, NomIa O'COnnor and
Viva Sullivan. These were costumed as
angels-maids Of honor to the young novice
who followed, decked as bride in cream
satin costumes and flowing veil, her brow
ing wrea,hed with flowers.
Taking her place at the pr dieI, just out
side the chancel, the novice-nun heard
mass surrounded oy her little maids and
the prOfessed sisters, with whom she re-
cleved communion from the hands Of the
bishop.
AT the conclusion Of the mass the bishop,
vested in pOntifical robes, with inter and
crosier, began the ceremony of reception.
After the young lady had declared her
choice Of the religious state, the procession
again moved on, and the young novice re-
tired, dOffed her gay bridal attire and re-
turned clad in her humble black habit Of
the order, and was invested with girdle and
rosary by the bishop
During the service Bishop Becker deliv-
cred a very practical discourse, setting forth
In general the obligations contracted by the
novice, the necessity OF a right motive
which should actuate the candidate for adj
mission into religion, and the means Of
securing perseverance. Then, addressing
the young candidate, his lordsbip sum-
married. very feelingly the blessedness OF
life, where, though the crown Of
orange blossoms may at times be exchanged
for crown Of thorns, yet one more than
amaranthine would finally deck the good,
religious brow"
Miss Edwards will be known in religion
as Sister Mary Catherine. She will enter
upon her noviceship or probation, at the
conclusion OF which, upon pronouncing her
VOWS, she will be what is termed professed
sister.

RAIL AND CRossrIE.

Guyton NJ Zettler, a son of Suparin-
tendent Of Schools B. NJ. Zettler Of Macon,
mas been appointed to position in the rail-
way mail service. and has been assigned to
the run between Atlanta, Macon and Mont
gomery.
The Cumberland Gap railroad is now
completed a distance of twentv-three miles
In South Carolina. From Abbeville it is
intended to have the road continued TO
Knoxville via Greenville, uniting with the
Carolina, Knoxville and Western road,
which has been completed out of Greenville
distance OF fourteen miles. The Carolina,
Knoxville and Western road has been
graded for distance of about fifty miles,
and quantity Of rails and crossties has
been distributed over the road. It is stated
that the company has spent $500, 600 on the
road and that it can now be purchased for
$l50,000.
In published interview jaw Gould is
quoted as follows in reference to the re-
ports as to the proposition to issue a blanket
mortgage covering the Union Pacific debt /:
''Yes, think that when the stockholders
meet, toward the last of this month, we will
have something to offer in that connection.
bond covering the entire property, and
at low rate Of interest, would be a most
advantageous thing. The Union Pacific
has 5000 miles of track. Only 400 miles
of this is covered by the government lien,
which amounts, in round numbers, less the
sinking fund, to $780, 900. Now, as a
matter of fact, it would not o such a terri
pie thing to the company if the government
did take the l., 400 miles, and we had to re.
construct the gaps, in order to round up
the system, but it is probable that we will
offer blanket mortgage, which will take
care OF the government lien as well as The
other securities"

suit to Recover $4,000 in Bonds Ne
gotiated by Gadsden.
Another feature of the Gadsen embezzle-
ment sensation developed yesterday.
The notice in the MORNING NEWS of
Charles r. Heron, agent for Lawrence J.
Guilmartin, for the last day or two, stating
that fifteen second mortgage bonds of the
South Georgia and Florida Railroad Com
pauy belonging to Mr.. Guilmartin bad been
stOlen,and warning any one from dealing in
them, set people to thinking. Many i'm
mediately concluded that there was a con-
nection between the suicide of the bank
cashier and the lost bonds. These con-
illusions were correct.
The bonds were aced in the Merchants
bank sometime ago by DR.. Heron, VINO
took receipt for them, signed by Gadsden
as cashier. When tie cashier suicided in>
curry was made at the bank for the bonds.
They we're missing. An investigation fol-
lowed, and the bonds were traced to Ducks
worth, Turner & Co., who had purchased
them from f. c. WILLY, as broker for
Gadsden. A demand was made for the
bonds, but as the firm had purchased them
in good faith the demand was refused
DR.. Heron employed counsel, and legal
proceedings were begun. Bail in troVer
action was filed in the city court against
Duckworth, Turner 81 Co. for the recovery
of the bonds, and suit was also instituted
trespass.
The case will involve some nice points of
law. 1t will be tried at the next term of
the city court. The market value of the
bonds which it is sought to recover is
$1,000.
