and that the governor desired him 20 say
that be had an appointment in Brunswick
on April 80, which would enable him TO
reach Savannah May !, witness the parade
and military review that day, to visit the
epcampment Of the regiment on May 2, and
return TO Atlanta that night. He regretted
his inability 70 be present at the tilt.
Col. Gordon replied, suggesting that as
the governor could not be present at the
tilt, much to his regret, that Adjt. Gen.
Kell and the advisory board should come
anyway and witness the tilt, Thursday, and
remain to the military parade ard review
Friday, and the inspection Of the cavalry

AT the conclusion OF the rehearsal az the
Pompeiian park about 10 o'clock last night,
as Stage Manager Walter S. Clifford, Mr.

cussing the performances, Trey
were startled by the Waterman
running up and exclaiming that he had just
discovered two negroes mailing board
across the Belt Line track on Montgomery
street, where the auditorium overlOOks the
street. The entire party ran out Cf the
park entrancs and around - the track, but
tie negroes heard their approach and made
their escape
A thick board was found across the
track with a couple II heavy nails beside
Il. A car was approaching. and if The mis-
creauts had been allowed few minutes
longer, the car. which contained several
people, would certainly have been thrown
from the track, possibly with great injury
10 tee passengers and employees
aud loss OF life, as the cars
run a. a high speed along this
portion Of the line. TIE car was stopped
aud the conductor vas notified Of the dis
covery. Messrs. Clifford and Leval also re-
ported the matter 70 the MORNING News
on their return 20 the city. The Belt Line
Office was teIephoned TO know IL il had any
knowledge Of parties who had malice
against the road to provoke ithep to any
such an act. Assistant Superintendent
Dow replied that negro who
had been put off car by
a conductor for disorderly conduct and
refusing to 20 inside Of the car instead of
standing on the platform, which is against
the rules, had threatened the company.
The negro went 20 the company's office 70
demand satisfaction. He was intoxicated,
and, Of course, received no satisfaction. He
left, vowin2 that he would get even.
Another negro was put of by a conductor
on another car last night. Ii was thought
that perhaps ope or both Of these men were
the guilty parties.
MIR. Dow went out 70 the Pompelian park
about II o'clock TO investigate affairs He
reported that the watchman said the parties
whom he saw were boys between IA and l6
years old. Mr.. Dow said that he had
ordered a number Of boys who were playing
ball IN front OF the oompanY's office yester-
day and annoying the conductors, away.
The company has had considerable trouble
with the crowds Of boys, both black and
white, who are in the habit Of gathering
near the Office and along the track in that
neighborhood 10 play ball, and who by
their conduct have made things very dis
agreeable. The police have been called
upon twice TO disperse the crowds.
The board which was placed across the
track was heavy 2K10 piece twelve feet
long, and would have wrecked the car had
the car struck it.
