GUARDS DISCUSS FINANCES.

Their Plans for thu Completion OF the
Armory and Club Building.
The Savannah Guards held q meeting at
their armory last night TO ratify the agree.
ment or contract entered into by the COM
mittee appointed to procure money for the
completion OF their new club aud armory
building at Bull and Charlton streets
The meeting was well attended. A reso-
luton Endorsing the action Of the committee
in arranging to secure $50, 100 from the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance. Company OF
Philadelphia at per cent. per annum upon
satisfactory terms was passed without OPP
position. The loan is to be secured
by mortgage upon the lot and
improvements OF the Guards at Bull
and Charlton streets and the committee
Is authorized to make such arrangements
for Its payment as 1t sees flt. Col Gsrrard,
as ex-offioio president OF the corporation
was authorized to sign the papers necessary
to secure the loan.
1t is estimated that the new building of
the Guards will cost about $55, 900. Rapid
progress is being made upon the building,
end it is expected to tie completed this fall
The second matter that came up at the
meeting was also question OF finances and
very interesting one to large number Of
the members present.
1t was the announcement of the fines as
ance at drills during the drill season sim @
Jan. l. According TO the rule adopted by
the corps at the beginning OF the
year all members are compelled
TO make an average attendance OF NOT less
than GO 2-3 per cent upon all drills and COM
pany meetings during the drill season. All
members falling under this average are
fined 81 for sach meeting or drill missed by
them above one-third Of the entire mum Der
of meetings aud drills. with the exception
that q member cannot be fined for more
| than one drill per week.
Many of tie members have been very lax
in their attendance upon drills and meetings
during the season In spite of the severity of
the rule. As result fines were assessed
against about fifty members, varying from
81 to S23 each. There were several at the
latter figure, being the names OF those who
have attended no drills and meetings since
Jan. l.
The total of the fiues was somewhe be-
tween $500 aud $500. There was cousterna-
ton among the members when the fines
were announced. Efforts were made by the
dellnquentS to have the whole list of fines
wiped out, but the motion was ruled out of
order.
Owing to claims of inaccuracies In the
reports made by some of the
delinquents the matter was allowed
to go over until the
next meeting. The sufferers think their
fines very heavy, but the rule is an iron
clad one, aud there doesn't seem to be any
way OF getting around IL.
There will be O larger attendance at drills
hereafter

INSPECTING THE DRAINAGE.

The County Commissioners Looking
into the Public Works.
The county commissioners yesterday in
spected the work on the new Casey canal
and the bridge on the Montgomery cross
road over Hanna's creek, the outlet to the
canal. Notwithstanding the recent heavy
rains the work on the canal is progressing
rapidly and the excavations extend as far
as the line OF the proposed Meridian road
The convicts are in good trim and the
guards are developing good engineering
qualities under Engineer Blandford's super
vision.
An inspection of Hannas creek bridge
showed that this structure is in bad condition
and that the brick abutmeHt on the west side
is being undermined aud is likely to tumble
into the creek at any time. The commits
sioners gave Engineer Blandford instruc-
tons TO replace the bridge as soon as posi-
BILE with large trunk, and at the same
tune increase the roadway across the creek
from eighteen to twenty-tour feet.
This afternoon the commissioners will
inspect the work on the Dundee swamp
canal

FELL OUT WITH HIS FOLLOWERS.
Since that time Coleman has had
several alterations with the men
whom he once led. June % he met
Mallard at Price and Jones streets.
and, during a dispute growing out Of the
strike, struck him in the face, breaking
Mallards jaw aud rendering him unoon-
sctous He was carried home and DIR.
Sheftall attended him. Everything posi-
bic was done for the man, but despite the
care bestowed on him, lockjaw set in last
week and Mallard fingered In excruciating
agony until yesterday.
When the symptoms OF lockjaw first
appeared DIR. ShefJall reported the case TO
Justice Nsughtin, who issued warrant for
Coleman, charging him with assault with
intent to murder. Coleman was arrested
and gave bond for his appearance in the
superior court. but he skipped as soon as he
heard Mallard's injuries were apt to prove
fatal.
THE INQUEST.
Coroner Dixon held an inquest at his I'M

William Meyers, who was with Mallard
when Coleman assaulted him, was exam

provoked and cowardly. He testified that
he saw nothing in the mans hand when he
struck the blow.
DR.. Sheftall detailed the nature OF NAL
lard's injury, and stated that in his opinion
Coleman must have had some sort OK blunt
instrument concealed in his hand when he
struck Mallard, as it would be almost an
impossibility for a mans hand TO have
caused the fatal fracture.
The jury. after being out few moments,
returned a verdict OF voluntary man,

hour last night the officers had not secured

a BLIND GHOsT.
This Strange and Sorrowful Specter
Seen in Houston, Tex.
gomery 9.

Ths Strange and Sorrowful Specter
Seen in Houston, Tex.
Houston Special Philadelphia Times.
There comes from bonneville, a small
suburb of this city, ghastly story of
blind ghost. which is terrifying the citizens
by its sudden and mysterious appearance
in their midst, usually at the most inoppor-
tune moments as well. The phantom, W hich
Is believed to be that of q woman, is clad in
long, BLACK garments, and wears a black
veil over its face, which it raises however,
when any attempt to modest it is made,
when, 1t is said, single glance at its dis
figured countenance Is enough to freeze the
stoutest heart. 1t was first encountered
about a week ago by Robert Desbor-
ough, employed at the Robinson, Coo & Co.
planning mill, who, returning home late at
night, saw just in front Of him figure
wrapped in O dark, sweeping cloak, and
which appeared to be bowed down as If in a
terrible grief, while its low pitiful sobbing
could be distinctly heard.
Mr.. Desborough taking IL for a woman
and plying her distress, attempted to over
take it. but soon found this to be impossible,
though he finally broke into a run, only to
find that the phantom, though without
seeming TO at all hurry itself kept about an
even distance from him. The race kept up
until reaching a small blind alley. The
specter paused, and, raising its veil, peered
auxiously TO the right and left, wringing is
hands aud sobbing vehemently. AS it stood
moving its head piteously from side to side,
as If trying to penetrate the darkness, Mr..
Desborough approached within a few feet
of It, when he saw, to mis- inexpressible hor-
ror, that the womans eyes were gone from
the sockets, aud only lidless, bleeding holes
left, while the whole face was deadly in its
pallor, which was unmistakably that of one
long dead.
Though the night was dark one the gen.
tleman says that all this was perfectly dis
tiuot TO him, and that he even SO W the great
black drops of blood which dropped from
the empty socket down upon the hollow
cheeks. As near as he can describe the
popularity of the light which enabled him
to distinguish the figure so clearly he says 1t
did not extend an inch around it. but ap-
peared to envelop 1t only as far as its own
outlines. 1t cast no shadow, and while
clear enough to reveal the phantom, pos
sessed, as it were, no lumiuation whatever.
Since then the ghost has appeared 90 a
number Of persons, always at night, but
often in a lighted room in which several
were seated. Ii betrays no consciousness Of
the presence of any creature, but stands
looking about It with its empty sockets, and
then, moaning despairingly, goes out Of the
nearest door, disappearing as it does SO.
