MORROW AFTERNOON.

Hussars-Their Visit to MormsIOe
an Event of Their Visit.
The National Guardsmen, representing
the New Jersey Troops, to visit the Geor-
gsa Hussars this week, will leave New
York this morning in a special car at
tached to the vestibule, and win arrive
here tomorrow.
The team consists Of six and is in charge
Of Brig. Gen. Bird W. Spencer, who has
for many years been the inspector general
of rifle practice of the state.
Gen. Spencer is a man Of considerable
financial influence in Passaic, as well as
throughout the state. lie has a most
genial disposition, and his ready wit and
brilliant repartee render him a welcome
guest al any gathering.
Col. Anthony r. Kuser, aide to the gov
ernor, one Of New Jerseys most popular
bachelors, has the reputation Of being an
excellent ritleman-some of his shots hav-
ing been phenomenal. He is an inhuen-
tial capitalist and is also famous for his
lavish generosity.
Mr. John J.. Kuser Of the First Troop OF
Cavalry has been known as a fine bird
shot and has only of late years handled
the rifle, but he has achieved such signal
success in a short period that his reputa-
tion as an accomplished marksman is
firmly established.
Capt. Charles A. Reid is the inspector
of rifle practice of the Seventh Regiment.
Mr. William Hayes of the Second Regi-
ment and Mr.. Theodore E. Beck Of the
First Troop are prominent manufacturers
in Newark. Mr. Beck has the reputation
of being an excellent pistol shot, and only
last summer began to practice with the
rifle
The members Of the team have never
practiced together, and, it is said in
Trenton, that not one of them has fired
a rife since the shooting at Sea Grit last
summer The team win probably be ac-
companied by Gen. William S. Stryker,
adjutant general Of the state; Gen. Ed
ward p. Meany. judge advocate general
of the state, and Col. Charles A. Sterling,
all of whom are aides on the staff of the
governor.
Gen. Stryker has held the Office Of adju-
tant general ever since the close Of the
war, and his opinion on the revolutionary
history of New Jersey is considered of the
utmost value. He will shortly publish
complete history of the battle of Trenton.
Indeed, some humorous spirit in that city
has insinuated that he fought with Wash
ingtOn in that decisive conflict. Gen.
Stryker is a gentleman of unfailing cour-
tesy charming manners and well-deserved
popularity.
Hon. Garrett A. Hobart of Paterson,
member of the republican national com
mittee, and much talked of as prospec-
tive candidate for governor, Mr.. Thomas
F. Barr, Well-known in New Jersey
railroad manager, especially Of the cleo
trio systems. and Mr.. Walter S. Lenox, the
proprietor of the Ceramic cart Works in
Trenton, are also expected to be with the

ROYAL BAKING POWDER.
THE FREE ROAD MOVEMENT.
I The Commissioners on the Couple
ton Of the Meridian Road.

The Commissioners ON the Compile
ton Of the Meridian Road.
Four Of the county commissioners were
asked yesterday about the idea advanced
with regard to the completion of the
Meridian road as county road and drive.
and the effect it would have in reducing
the value of the toll roads to such an
extent that they could be purchased by
the county for much less money than their
owners viii now sell them for.
DR.. T. ]. Charlton said he thought the
plan would perhaps be a good one He
said he had not Investigated the matter
but was of the opinion that the Meridian
road could be completed for the amount
II would cost to buy the Vernon she'll road
and that if this was done the county could
ultimately secure both the toll roads for
much less than it would have to pay
for them at the present time.
Commissioner j. \. G. Carson said he
would not discuss the proposition. as he
had an idea what the committees report
would be at this afternoons meeting, and
he preferred to wait until then He has
however, repeatedly urged the completion
of the Meridian road at meetings of the
board.
Commissioner William Kehoe had not
looked int0 the matter. he said, but
not be completed for what it would cost
to buy the Vernon sheet road. 1t would
make popular driveway, he said. and he
thought the ultimate effect would be to
bring both the toll roads into the possess
sion of the county at far lower figures
than they can be secured for now.
Chairman J. J. Dale said he had found
a general sentiment in favor OF the es-
adjustment of free roads by the county,
that toll roads every where else We're be-
ing abolished, and that he thought it about
time Chatham county was looking into
the matter of doing away with them here.
He did not see any connection, however,
between the completion of the Meridian
road and the purchase of the Vernon
shell road. They ran, he said, through
entirely different sections, and the latter
is largely used by people who have inn
proved properly along it's route. Then,
too, he said. it would cost a large sum,
he estimated it roughly at about $4,000,
to complete the Meridian road, including
the securing Of a sXty-siX foot right of
way from the county lands up to Ander-
son and East Broad streets.
The matter will probably be extensively
discussed at the meeting of the commits
siOnerS this afternoon.

Mai. Gary's Investigation of a Case
at Brunswick.

at Brunswick.
Maj. w. T. Gary United States district
attorney, returned last night from Bruins
wick, where he spent yesterday making
an investigation under instructions from
Secretary Gresham of the state depart
ment, of a complaint by the Swedish gov
eminent of the ill-treatment of a captain
of a Swedish bark at that port some
time last summer
The captain of the bark Adel while in
port at Brunswick was arrested on two
warrants from a Justices court taken out
by two sailors. who had left the bark The
trouble was the refusal of the captain
to let the sailors have some clothing be-
longing to them, which they had left on
board the vessel. One of the warrants
was a possessory warrant and the other
was a warrant charging the captain with
larceny of the clothing. The warrant for
larceny was dismissed, but the captain
was compelled to give the sailors their
clothing on the possessory warrant
The captain had the sailors arrested on
warrants charging them with assault, but
it seems that the case was decided in
their favor. The captain was angry at
the treatment which he received in Bruns-
wick, and when he got back across the
water reported the matter to his govern
ment.
After passing through the usual chan
mel of affairs Of state the question has
finally reached the source from which It
begun. Maj. Gary declined to say any
thing about his investigation last night.
as he has not yet made his report to
Secretary Gresham. He did not apDear
to regard the matter as of any great I'M
portance, however.

The subject OF bringing manufacturing

Mayor Myers is very much interested
lie dwelt upon 1T, both in his letter ac-
cepung the nomination and in his inaug-
ural address. To "A Morning News repor-
ter Yesterday he said
'Manufac turing institutions are ne
cessty to Savannah If we expect to con-
tinue to increase in wealth
and population. The number Of
unemployed people who are seek

We must offer some inducement to bring
manufacturing industries here. Free
sites should be one inducement The
large real estate owners can well afford
10 make offers on this line because Of
the enhancement in value OF their prop
erty by reason of the establishment of
such industries. There should be exemp-
ton from taxation for a period of years
to new industries Of this kind. Under
the constitution the cities cannot offer
exemption from taxation to manufacto-
ries or any other class of industry. An
amendment should be proposed to the con-
sututiOn allowing both the state and the
cities to exempt new indust tries of this
character from taxation for a period Of
at least five years. There is a general
movement now among northern manu-
facturers toward the south, and we
should take fun advantage Of it, There
is no reason why Savannah should not
secure some of them. Everything is de-
pressed now, and the outlook for the
year is not a bright one by any means.
If number of new Industries could be
established here IL would do a great deal
to relieve the situation. Every new man
ufactory established in the state is
gain to the whole state as well as to the
locality in which it is established, and
for that reason il is to the advantage
of the state to offer inducements in the
way Of exemption from taxation to new
industries of this character"

VENDING ON JACKSON.
The Third Lecture of the Lyceum
Course This Week.

The third entertainment of the Lyceum
Course will be the lecture of George R.
vending, at Masonic hall, Thursday
evening, on "Stonewall Jackson" Ida-
sonic hall will be used instead of the
Guards hall on account of the latter be-
ing used for the fair The arrangement
of the chairs win be the same as in the
Guards hall, so there win be no confu-
sion in regard to seats.
Mr.. Vending is one of the most popu-
lar lecturers on the American stage. In
one southern city he has lectured eighteen
different times to ever increasing audi
ences. Such as has hardly been paralleled
in the history of the American platform.
And, withal. his work, really great, en-
lists the enthusiastic interest of every
rank of society. He is eloquent; he is
thoughtful; he is inspiring. The southern
people never tire of listening to the
brilliant achievements of the brave hero
who was stricken down at Chancellors-
Vile just as he had reached the flood
tide of his career. Mr.. Vending is ap-
parently so sincere in the eloquent tribute
which he pays to the dead soldier, that
sympathy is established between him and
his hearers that is simply irresistible. He
has spent much time in study of the
character OF ALt man VIM oldIlltQ the
world by his brilliant achievements, and
won its admiration as well by the purity
of his everyday life.
A Nashville paper. in describing Mr..
weddings recent lecture there on Jack
son, says:
The lecturer then described Stonewan
Jackson as he appeared at the breaking
out of the war of the rebellion and fol-
lowed him throug his career until
his untimely ending at Charlottesville.
He dwelt at some length upon the Victo-
ries achieved against overwhelming num>
bers. and presented u beautiful picture of
his abiding faith In God. a glowing ac-
count Of his victory at Manassas was
given with a fervor and eloquence that
moved the audience to the highest pitch
of enthusiasm. Mr.. Vending said
glimpse of Cen. Jackson's Christian life
was obtained from a letter which he
wrote to his wife after the battle. at
was very sad" SO ran the letter. and l
only regret that the money expended
was not spent in disseminating the word
Of God
Jacksons valley campaign was referred
to as the master stroke of his career. and
one only eNcelled by Napoleon's conquest
in Italy.
In conclusion Mr.. Vending said: In
summing up the man the muse of history
win dip her pen III everlasting colors anc
write the name of Jackson on the eternal
armament OF American history, and.
pointing to il. viii say there was a man of
the brightest genius, who trusted his all
to God.

HAYES WINS HIS SUIT.
4 City Court Jury Gives Him $4,000
for the Loss of an Arm.

4 City Court Jury Gives Him $4,000
for the Loss of an Arm.
The suit of Allen Hayes, colored, against
the Florida Central and Penlnsular rail-
road for damages for the loss of an arm
was tried in the city court yesterday.
He was a switchman, and claimed on
Sept. II he was on an engine approaching
the water works track, when the accident
occurred. He claimed that it was the
engineers duty to stop for him to alight
al the switch to change it; that when
within a short distance of it he got on
step between the engine and tender; that
the engine had no cars attached and was
backing, and that he was struck by the
switch and thrown from the engine in
such a manner that he fell on the track
and his left arm was cut off. He alleged
that the engineer was negligent in not
stopping before reaching the switch; that
the company was negligent in having the
switch too near the track, and that the
engine was running at too high a speed
when he was ready to alight.
The company claimed on the other
hand that his injury was due to his
own fault in trying to alight when the
engine was running at so high a speed
and therefore he could not recover 1t
was held that he knew the position of
the switch, and if it was too near the
track, the plaintiff assumed the risk and
hazard 1t was held, however, that the
switch was properly located, and that
Hayes was thrown off the car by acct
dent, he having on a long oil skin coat
which was flying in the wind, and which
became caught in the switch
The company was represented by Mr..
Davis Freeman of Messrs. Denmark &
Adams, and the plaintiff by Hon. Pope
BARROW of Messrs. Barrow & Osborne.
The jury broaght in verdict for 81 500
in the plaintiffs favor.
