THE TERGEsTE DISABLED.
She Put Into Savannah and a Survey
Was Held Yesterday.

Was Held Yesterday.
The Austrian steamship Tergeste, Capt.
Scopinich, of the regular line of steam
ships between Atlantic and Austrian ports
put in here yesterday morning with her
machinery disabled. She sailed from this
port. Nov. 7. for Trieste and Venice, via
New Orleans. with a part cargo Of cotton
and phosphate rock.
She arrived at the latter port Nov. a.
and finished loading with cotton and cot
ton seed oil, and proceeded to sea Nov. 30
On Nov. Is. off the coast of Florida, tho
steamship experienced a gale and during
the night the circulating pump in the en-
CINE room burst and the engines also be-
came disabled. After considerable trouble
she finally reached this port, and reported
her condition to Wilder & Co., her agents
here.
A survey was held upon the ship yes
terday morning. The board consisted of
w. Z. Bailey, first engineer of the steam
ship City of Wakefield, Maj Jas. T. Stew
art Lloyd's agent Mr.. A. l.. Earle, Ma
rine Underwriters agent and Capt. L. Ira
PAM, who acted as interpreter The sur
Veying party was accompanied by Mai
Edward karow, vice consul of Austria and
Turkey and Capt. W. w. Williamson of
the firm of Wilder & Co. The surveyors
found the ballast pump broken and the
machinery otherwise damaged. They re-
commended that the pump be repaired at
once, the water pumped out of the tanks
and necessary repairs made to put the yes
sci in a seaworthy condition to resume her
voyage.

ANOTHER CLAIMANT FOR THE FLAG
The OchIOehOnee Light Infantry
Thinks IL Owns the Rome Relic.


Thinks IL Owns the Rome Relic.
There is another claimant, besides the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, for the flag
recently found in Cincinnati. by Col. r.
T. Covedale. president of the Rome Gas
Company. and which has been forwarded
to Capt. Rockwell of the OgIethorpes.
The fun story of the finding of the flag
in a box of old papers. was recently
printed in the Morning News The flag
has never been claimed by the Ogle-
thorpes. Capt Clark and Col. Harper of
Rome were satisfied from its inscription
that the flag belonged to the company,
and it was sent here.
In the meantime Capt. Spalding Pain of
Waycross, formerly of Thomasville. and
a member of the Ochlochnee Light In
fantry read an account Of the finding Of
the nag He wrote to Capt. Clark who
had the flag in possession, that he was
almost sure that il belonged to his COM
pany and was presented to the Ochloch-
nee Light Infantry by his wife, when she
was a young lady, just before the break
ing out OF the war. He desired to get pos
session of the flag, but it had already
been sent to Savannah.
IL IS rather a singular coincidence that
two companies whose initials are the
same, should have had flags stored in
savannah at the close Of the war, and that
thirty years later the ownership of the
lass should be in doubt 1t viii be a
very easy matter after the flag has been
inspected TO determine whether it be-
longs to the Oglethorpes or not.

REFUSED TO ALLOW COPIES.
Judge FerriII's Decision i'm Regard
10 Repatriation Lists.

Judge EeFfAiAtN DeclstDh III heBhFu
10 Repatriation Lists.
Judge Hampton J.. Ferrill of the court
of ordinary has refused two requests for
permission to make copies of the regis
tration lists now kept in his office for use
in the Second district in the election for
magistrate.
These requests were made by Messrs
w. G. Travis and II. NJ. Morgan, ana
their only recourse, if they insist on h6V-
ing the copies, is TO test the question by
mandamus proceedings in the superior
court.
It may be that an effort will be made
to get a decision on this subject 1t IS a
question that will be constantly rising,
perhaps, every time there is an election,
and II Is one that appears TO have two
very reasonable sides TO it, Judge Fer
rill, however, has come to the conclusion,
the law never contemplated that parties
should be allowed to make copies Of the
registration lists.
Judge Ferrlll consulted one or two law
yers about the matter One of them ad-
vised him that copies could be made. He
drew this conclusion from the fact that
the law allows the public to inspect the
lists freely and. therefore, IL appeared
that anyone who wished had also a right
to make a copy of any portion of them
desired
Two other attorneys gave an adverse
opinion. Their position was that while
the records We're open for public inspec-
ton under the law, it was also provided
that the records could not be taken from
the Office for any purpose.
Taking a copy of the records would in
one sense amount to the same thing as
carrying them off from the office. This
is no law allowing any one to take copies
of the lists.
