day in Camp Northen's Butts.
A detachment of the Savannah Volun-
teer Guards, under command of Capt. w.
w. Williamson, left last night for Camp
Northen, where they will spend to-day in
target shooting and skirmish firing.
The detachment carried 20 men,
the full number allowed by the adiutant
generals order.
The order allowing a team of the
Guards battalion to spend one day at
camp for target practice was secured by
Lieut. Satterlee as a particular favor TO
the Guards on account of the battalion not
being allowed to 90 into camp this year.
The state only pays for their Uransporta-
tion and the men will pay all other eX-
penseS out of their own pockets.
The team Went up in sleeper so as to
be in hrst-ClaSs condition for to-day's
shoot Besides Capt. Williamson, Lieuts.

claims last night, but il was evidently
their determination to bring back a few
marksmen's buttons or know the reason

some members Of the team who, if they
maintain their former records, stand good

HE Will. NOT CONTEST.

Lord Cole Now Has Two Courses Open,
to Serve AS Deputy Or Go to Chica-
go.
'Lord" Cole came to the conclusion
yesterday that it was no use and decided
not to contest the justice of peace election,
on which ne ran and got left.
He tore his ponderous brief into atoms
in the Office of the solicitor general,
threw away the bloody handkerchief and
collars he had gathered as evidence of the
war and riot, which he says was preva-
lent at the polls. and buried the bloody
shirt. He decided not to send his papers
to the governor and all is now quiet and
peaceful, at least so far as Cole is con-
cerned.
Cole says he wants the newspa-
pers to get someone else to make a scape-
goat out Of. He has been bounded, he
thinks, long enough. For this reason he
decided to leave last night for Chicago,
after settling his railway case with the
S. f. and w, but he had a consultation
with some friends, and decided TO
remain here until Friday when he
expects Justice Smiths commission will
arrive and he will go right in as deputy
in the Fifth district. He was somewhat
worried, however, when he learned that
the election was to be contested, and
there was some chance, at least, of au-
other candidategoing in.
81 guess III have to stand in with both
factions" he remarked, $50 | can get the
deputy's job whichever way it goes"
Cole seems very much worrie about
something. He is undecided whether to
so to Chicago or remain here, and serve
as deputy in the fifth district. He says
he will employ good counsel and endeavor
to have his case against the Savannah,
Florida and Westernisettled.at once,so that
he can get away from Savannah to some
place where he thinks he will be more APP
preciated.

TO MEET THE TROOPS.
The Regiment and Artillery to be

The Regiment and Artillery to be
Given a Reception Tonight. q.
The First regiment and the Chatham
Artillery win break camp early this
morning. The troops are scheduled to
leave Griffin at O'Clock and arrive at Sa-
vannah at 6:30 o'clock this afternoon on
special train. Whether the railroad will
break its record on military schedules
and get them home at the time named is
somewhat uncertain, but anyway with no
accident they may be expected here by
ni9htfall.
Major Schwarz has ordered out all the
stay-at-homes to meet the regiment at the
depot. The detail will assemble at the
armOry at 6 o'clock sharp equipped in
camp style with flannel shirts, campaign
hats and leggings. This order will Oc-
casion some dismay among the
members in the city, as most of
the camp outfits are in camp,
those who had suits having loaned them to
men going to camp who had none. Those
who did not go are not disposed to buy
camp outfits now, and the probability is
that the efforts to have all the men turn
out similarly equipped will be unsuccess-
full. The order issued for the Irish Jasper
Greens calls for full dress uni form.
All the companies are preparing to have
refreshments of some kind an the compa-
ny rooms at the armOry for their COM
mands. As most of the men will want 10
go Immediately TO their homes, the refresh
ments win be light and will consist
chiefly of sandwiches and beer.
The members Of the Chatham Artillery
in the city have been ordered out by Lieut..
Harmon to meet their command. The
Chathams are preparing to give their men
a rousing reception to show the apprecia-
tiOD of their conduct in camp
The returning troopers certainly deserve
a warm welcome after their ten days
stay in camp during the hottest season of
the war

time the bark came up TO the city.

bian & Co of Rio Janeiro the shippers of

States court, and was bought by Strachau
~ Co. for 81, 450 The money is still in
the possession of the court, awaiting a
disposition of the claims There are a
number of the sailors still waiting
for the seaman'S wages due them.
There were several points of ad-
miralty in the case which Judge
Speer took under advisement, and he has
not yet rendered his decision with regard
to the disposition of the funds The sea-
men are mostly foreigners, and failing to
understand the laws delay in America,
with which they had come very little in
contact, they are growing impatient.

RAIDS OF THE SNEAK THIEVES.
An Organized Gang Robbing Houses
All Over the City.

Sneak thieves got in some fine work
yesterday morning.
While the family of Mr.. D. B. Lester
were at breakfast, at their home on Dray-
ton street, the thieves entered the front
door and robbed the hall of hats umbrel-
las and everything else in sight that
could be carried off.
There was no trace of the thieves and
no one in the house suspected anything of
the kind until the missing articles were
in demand.
About 10 O'Clock the house at No. 95
South Broad street, occupied by B.
Wertheim, was entered and robbed in a
similar manner, probably by the same
gang.
The boldness and success of the thieves
are the most remarkable features of their
work.

father in the Hamburger Nachrichten.
Inc money necessary for the increase
OF the army, he said, would be in the

chancellor set his tariff reform policy in
operation. The folly of the com 10 rcial

exchange Of opinions on the pension
question between Gen. John c. Black,

Major Warner spoke first, and in
touching upon the pension question
said that the men who we're the friends

sion laws could be relied upon to deal
Justly with the pension matters, and
that it belonged to the friends of the
soldier. and to no one else, to remedy
the evils which may have crept into the
pension system.
General Black, who sat Oh the stand
grew uneasy while Major Warner was
talking, and when his turn came to
speak he said: The pension rolls are
polluted with the names of towards,
deserters and impostors, and no true
soldier of 1861 to 1868 would object to
measures calculated to remove the
disgrace"
Both speakers were wildly applauded.
