RESIGNED HIS COMMAND.
Capt. George NJ. Gadsden Gone to
Charlotte Harbor, Florida.

Capt. George NJ. Gadsden Gone to
Charlotte Harbor, Florida.
Capt. George NJ. Gadsden will leave in
a few days for Charlotte Harbor, Fla,
where he has a position with the phos-
plate company at that place. Capt.
Gadsden has resigned his position as
chief engineer of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, which he has held
for several years, in order to accept a
position with the phosphate company.
On Thursday night Capt. Gadsden handed
his resignation as captain of company ID,
the new company of the Guards which he
had organized and on that day com
manded in public for the first time, to
Col. Garrard. II is not known yet If the
resignation has been accepted, but Capt.
Gadsden's departure from the city will,
of, course, compel the acceptance of his
resignation.
Capt Gadsden's intentions were known
only TO a few intimate friends and the an
nouncement of his intended departure
from Savannah will cause general sur
prise, and it is needless TO say the deepest
regret among very large circle of friends
and acquaintances. For several years he
has been one of the leading young men of
the city in society and military circles, in
both of which he will be greatly missed.
1t would have been hard in fact to select
a young man from the whole city whose
departure would cause more general re-
greet.
Capt Gadsden has been especially iden-
titled with the Guards battalion AS
first lieutenant of company B, which po-
sition he filed for several years, he was
noted both for his popularity and his ell
cheney as an officer. His selection by the
commanding officer of the battalion to
take charge of the organization of the
fourth company TO be its commander
when organized was sufficient testimony
TO the record which he had made as an
efficient disciplinarian, but the character
of the company which he put into the
field in so short time was a still greater
tribute TO his ability and popularity.
Thenews of Capt. Gadsden's intended
removal will cause nothing less than con-
sternation in the ranks Of the Guards.
He has been so intimately connected with
the organization, and so much was ex-
pecLed of him as commander of the new
company that the possibility of his loss
was never considered, 1t may be taken
for granted that Capt Gadsden will not
be allowed TO depart from the city
without being the recipient of some sub
stantial token of regard from his asso-
clates in the battalion

Chief Hale was born at Cotton, st.

engaged in a rife mandatory, where he
worked for over three years. In 1863 he
came to Kansas City and became engaged
in the machinery and foundry business
with his uncle, T.. NJ. Hale. He studied
engineering, and while serving his appren-
ticeship had the honor of building the
first steam engine ever constructed in
Kansas City. lie had charge of the plac-

years later he was made assistant chief

so much merit and adaptability in this
position that on the resignation of Col

From the first Chief Hale showed him
self well qualified to be at the head of the
fire department. He was, as he is to-day,
fearless, active, energetic and intelligent.
He has sound judgment in fire-fighting,
and is never mistaken in the best move to
make at fire. He is popular with his
subordinates, and enforces strict dis
cipline among them.
Chief Hale is of an inventive turn of
mind. The Hale water tower is consid-
cred one of the best achievements in this
line. He has also invented swinging har-
ness, votary engine, automatic horse
cover, automatic halter strap, electric
wire cutter, rotary tin roof cutter, cellar
pipe and spray nozzle, door opener, ad-

ginning that his condition was serious,
and his death was not unexpected.

to many hearts. He was only ~ years of
age, but had already made his reputation
as bright, capable young business man
and had a promising future before him.
He had made good record in the insur-
ance business, in which he was engaged.
He was in the employ of Kollock Il Sore
ven at the time of his death and had pre-
viously been in the employ of james Z.
Stewart & Son and J. f. Wheaton & Co,
by all of whom he is highly spoken of.
Besides father and mother, he leaves
several brothers and sisters, to whom his
death is a severe blow. The funeral will
take place this afternoon. The interment

THEY WANT THE TANKS.
The Turpentine Men Discussing the
Question Again.


Question Again.
1.-THE tank question has been opened up
again." said a weli-known naval stores
man yesterday, land the trade seems
more anxious than ever to push the pro-
iect to a successful conclusion.
Both the factors and exporters are
discussing the question with more en-
thuslaSm and with deeper interest than
ever, and il is more than probable that
something will come of the discussion be-
fore they are done with it,"
Ii will be remembered that the matter
OF tanks for storing turpentine on the
wharves here was agitated some time
ago, and MIR. II, B. Plant was consulted
by the naval stores men about the mat
ter. An agreement was drawn up be-
tween Mr.. Plants agents and some of the
naval stores men, by which it was pro-
V1ded that the trade was to operate the
tanks and guarantee Mr.. Plant certain
amount. But when the agreement was
presented TO MIR. Plant for his sigma
ture, which was the only thing necessary
TO going ahead with building them he re-
fused TO sign it. The matter was dropped
for while, but it has been quietly dis
cussed ever since, and the project now is
TO form a company among the factors and
buyers here and put up the tanks indie
pendently of Mr.. Plant or his railroad
lines.
The benefit which would result to the
trade from such step has been fully dis
cussed They would give place for the
storage of turpentine, which would pre-
vent any loss or shrinkage from leaks or
extensive evaporation. The naval stores
men seem in earnest this time, and in all
probability something will be accom-
pllShed before the matter is dropped

the postofice yesterday and the TWO dis
cussed the situation in a very amicable
manner. MIR. Haines exhibited his COM
mission and stated his desire Of taking

reason for desiring TO take

for the short portion Of this month, which
he would have to do if he took charge i'm

shape preparatory TO vacatiug the Office.
MIR Doyle. it is understood, replied
that he had no objections TO surrendering
the office. provided that Mr.. Haines is
equipped with the proper authority. He
said that he had received no notification
whatever of the change in the office and
consequently preferred not to turn
over the effects without the
presence of a properly authorized gov

THE DEPRESSION IN MEXICO.
superintendent Kline's Impression of
the Situation There.

superintendent hl1ne'S impression of
the Situation There.
General Superintendent T. D. Kline, of
the Central railroad, has returned from
Mexico where he spent the last two
weeks. He said yesterday that he found
the business depression fully as great in
Mexico as in the United States, and for
the same reason apparently, the instabil-
ity of the silver dollar.
Mexico being upon silver basis
said Mr.. Kline, "the constantly decreas-
ing value of silver has produced even
greater depression than in the United
States. The Mexican silver dollar is
still as good as ever for internal trade.
but its decreased intrinsic value has in
terfered largely with trade with the
United States. The result has been to
greatly decrease the business of the rail
roads, and the depression is very severely
felt by these corporations "
Mr. Kline said that it is evident that
some standard monetary basis must be
reached before prosperity can be restored
to Mexico. 1t matters little whether the
standard be gold or silver, he said, so
that recognized standard be established.
