State University.
AS an educator Prof. White has a ma

years, and has endeared himself to all the
STUDENTS he has had under him.
There are a good many alumni here who
will be ready to congratulate him on this
appointment, though those interested in
the university and it's success will regret
to see that institution lose him, In case he
should decide to accept the presidency of
the School of Technology.

cause of the death of Joe Harris, the
negro convict who died at Camp No last

The inquest will be held at the county

RATES TO THE EXPOSITION.
Savannahians Can Go and Return
for 5000.

Everybody who expects 10 go TO the
Atlanta exposition next fall wants to
know. of course, what the railroad rates
are going to be. That is one Of the partic-
ular points that always interests the trav-
cling public, and upon it very often de-
ponds the size of the crowd that travels.
The rate committee of the Southern
States Passenger Association held a meet
ing in Atlanta last week for the purpose
of discussing the matter Of rates 20 the
exposition, and while no conclusion was
announced, it is understood that one was
practically reached, which will likely be
announced later.
The resolution introduced provided for a
rate of one fare, with 10 per cent added
for the round trip throughout the expo
sition, and a rate of 1 cent a mile on
two days in each week, tickets to be goo1
for twenty days.
This would make the fare in the first
instance from Savannah $3.50 plus 10 per
cent. OF that amount, or $500. These tick
cts, it is contemplated. shall be good dur
ing the entire exposition. on whatever
two days in each week are selected the
fares according to the resolution are to be
! cent a mile, which will make the round
trip fare from Savannah So. These tickets
are contemplated TO be good for twenty
days.
The resolution to this effect introduced
al the meeting of the committee it is I'M
derstood, was adopted by all the lines of
the association, except one. which refused
to accept those rates on account of the
fact that it would give opportunity for
cheaper travel TO be shut out to points on
its line by way Of Atlanta, than by going
over its regular lines to such destinations.
The matter, it is said, was discussed pro.
and con-, but no unanimous conclusion
was reached. As a usual thing a majority
vote rules in the committee meetings, and
the matter has been referred to Commits
sioner Finley for decision. 1t is alto
gether probable that he will decide the
way the resolutions read.

voGEL AND SPENCER APPOINTED.
The New hoard of Steamboat Inspec-
tors Mt JacLsonVfIIe

tors Mt jacksonville.
Capt Leo Vogel and Capt Charles A.
Spencer have been appointed local inspec-
tors Of steam vessels for the new dis
trict Of Jacksonville, Capt. Vogel as in
spector of hulls and Capt. Spencer as in
spector of boilers.
The appointments were made upon the
recommendation of the supervising in
spector of this district, the collector of
customs of Jacksonville and Judge Locke
of the United States court as a result of
the examination held at Jacksonville
June g.
This settles the question Of the establish
ment OF the new district. concerning which
there has been some doubt among steam
boat men, growing out of the delay in
the appointment of the board of inspec-
tors. The oath and bond of the new in
spectors have been forwarded, and as
soon as they have been approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury the inspectors
will assume their duties.
The boundaries of the new district have
not yet been defined, but they will proba-
bly, include the Atlantic coast and tribu-
tary waters from the st. Johns river
south to Cape Sable. This will include
the st. Johns. Ocl9waha, Indian, Halifax
and Hillsboro rivers, and tributaries.
and the waters of Biscayne bay, besides
the east coast of Florida, constituting an
important territory
Both Capt. Nogei and Capt. Spencer are
well known amongfsteamboat men here.
Capt. Vogel was formerly captain of the
steamer running between Savannah and
Jacksonville. and afterward ran on the
St. Johns river For the last eight or
nine years he has been superintendent of
the Clyde docks at Jacksonville. Capt.
Spencer was formerly of Brunswick, and
is one of the most efficient men that could
have been appointed.
