ably submit a report on the matter at the

largely instrumental in having the tract
given to the city.
The new park is three miles from the city,

reached either by the City and Suburban
railroad or the Meridian road. 1t is now

flower beds, mounds, etc., and the digging
Of lake. IL is the intention TO make it in

PREPARING FOR CAMP.
TIE ADVISORY BOARD TO Ar
RANGE THE DETAILS MONDAY.

Some of the New Companies May Be
Left Out of Camp Northen This Year
on Account of the Smalluess of the
Appropriation-The Grounds and
Mess Halls Being ImproYed-Savan-
nah's Soldiers Getting Ready for the
Event
Savannsh's soldiers are beginning TO talk
enoampmeut, and the boys are anxiously
looking forward to the time when they will
again take up their residence for week on
the tented field Of Camp Northen at Griffin.
The advisory board will meet in Atlanta
Monday TO make all arrangements
for the encampment AS the appropriation
for this year is s., 900 less than last years
the board will have considerable work in
fixing matters so that all the companies Of
the state can get to camp. 1t may be
necessary even to leave out some of the new
companies which have been attached to the
service since the last encampment.
Adjt. Gen. Kell, Quartermaster General
West and Lieut.. Satterlee were in Griffin a
few days ago arranging for several needed
improvements at the camp grounds.
Six Of the mess halls from the lower end
of the line near the water works are TO be
moved up and placed at the eastern end of
the line of camps, thereby affordinRa much
more desirable location. All the under
growth of the woodland win be cut away
and the larger trees trimmed and white
washed. Instructions we're given to plant
Bermuda grass seed on the parade ground
as so on as the clearing away could be DONE
When completed it will be most attractive
and comfortable camping ground.
The rifle range will be widened fully
thirty feet, the breastworks raised several
feet and made perfectly proof against all
shots fred against it. In addition, an ord
nance house will be erected, which will af-
ford storage room for the ammunition used
IN the daily target practice.
Permission will, in all probability, be
granted by the advisory board Monday TO
the street car company to extend its line
into the grounds, passing to the left OF the
main entrance, and to the southern ex~
tremity of the woodland. An amphi-
theater is to be erected, which will afford
an excellent view of the parade grounds.
The street car arrangement will add
greatly to the comfort and convenience Of
visitors and soldiers alike, as last year the
soldiers either had to hire hacks or take a
mile tramp down hill to get into the city.

children in that locality are somewhat in
adequate, a large number being kept out of
school, The efforts of the board are being

The Home Company in Court for Re
fuslng to ray Marips Claim.
The city court room looked like an iusur-
ancs conference yesterday on account Of the
large number Of insurance men occupying
seats there. The cause of this gathering
was the trial of the suit of Joseph Maril
against the Home Insurance Company OF
New Orleans for 81 800 insurance on his
jewelry store, which was damaged by fire
last June
Maril was also insured with the Com.
mercial Insurance Company for several
thousand dollars. and the two com panies re-
fused payment of the claims on the ground
that the FIRE was OF inoendiary origin and
that Maril had vttiated his policy by keep
ing kerosene and benzne in his establish
meet.
The day was taken up with the hearing
of evidence as to the alleged incendiarism,
and she case was adjourned at O'Clock I'M
I'll this morning. Garrard, Meldrim &
Newman represent Maril, and Denmark &
Adams represent the insurance companies.
