The Jasper Greens Lose Their Sec
Ond Omcer.
The Irish Jasper Greens will hold their
annual rife contest at the Avondale
range Aug. q. The date was decided upon
at the quarterly meeting Of the company
last night.
Lieut.. James McGrath. who has been
member of the company since 1862. and an
officer for twenty-three years, has re-
signed his commission as Lieutenant. His
resignation was submitted to the company
last night
Lieut.. McGrath has had the step In con-
temptation for some time but has been
prevailed upon by the members Of the
company to delay it, His resignation was
accepted, conditional upon its acceptance
by the governor
The Greens part with their first lieuten-
ant with much regret. He has been
faithful officer, having been connected
with the corps since March /. 1862, when he
entered the confederate service. In his
letter Of resignation he spoke freely of his
relations with the corps:
while servering my connection as your
second officer" he said. my heart is with
the grand old corps, and though In future,
not actively associated with you, / shall
always feel the liveliest interest in your
welfare. and shall ever stand ready to
cheerfully contribute to any and all your
undertakings, as far as my means will
permit"
Abiding to the active service of the
company in the days that to be a soldier
meant more than 1t does to-day. Lieut..
McGrath said:
Il can recall the time when we were
Quartered at Lee Battery. the Greens en-
joyed such popularity among the troops
that they We're called the pets" Of the
commandant Col. Anderson. Whenever a
general officer would visit the battery. the
Jasper Greens would be brought out as the
best drilled and best disciplined company
there. Through the untiring efforts Of our
Capt. Jack we then ranked among the
first volunteer military companies of the
state, and 1t is my parting request to you,
and particularly TO the young men, that
you continue to assist In keeping up this
standard by regular attendance at drills
and meetings, and an enthusiastic interest
in all that tends to the company's advance
ment. This cooperation on your part is
essential to success for after all. r. is the
individual soldier that makes the efficient
command"

WITH ROCKETS AND FLAGS.
THE WEATHER BUREAUS CYCLONE
AND HURRICANE WARNINGS.

Red Flags to BE Displayed In the
Day Time and Rockets TO BE Fired
at Night From the weather bureau
I'm the City and From Decks OF
Vessels sent Out Along the COast.
The Government Watching the
storm Latitude Closely.
A system Of warning signals has been
adopted and will be put into operation on
the Georgia and South Carolina coasts
next month to give warning in case Of the
approach Of cyclones or hurricanes Ike
that which devasted the SEA Islands two
years ago.
The signals will consist of flags and
rockets. The flag signal which is two
red flags with black centers. raised one
above tho other, Will be displayed at
points wherever the information can be
conveyed.
Arrangements have been made with the
steamship and steamboat lines to display
this signal on their vessels. Special ef-
forts have been put forth to provide for the
ssem!nation of the warnings in sections
beyond the reach Of Geographic communi-
cations along the South Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, and the adjacent islands, and
arrangements have been made in many Of
the most exposed and thickly settled To-
calities whereby tugs, pilot boats, revenue
cutters, or other vessels viii pass through
the waters in the vicinity displaying the
hurricane signal by day and firing rockets
by night, and blowing their whistles 10 at
tract attention. Among the districts thus
referred to are from Tampa Bay south, and
the coasts, islands, and bays Of Virginia,
North and South Carolina, and Georgia.
The flag signals will also be displayed from
the Frying Pan Shoals lightship of the
North Carolina coast, warnings being con-
veyed by a tug from Southport.
Observer Smyth viii receive in few
days a supply OF rockets 10 be used as
an additional warning at night. The rock
cts are intended to be fired from the
weather bureau. from the decks of ships,
and from elevated points where The sig
nails may be seen. The rockets used by
the bureau in this connection will be red
meteor rockets, which ascend to the hight
of 800 or zoo feet, and emit a brilliant red
star which burns to the ground or the
wa ter's edge.
The great loss Of life and property in
the terrible storm of August, two years
ago has prompted the government to
take steps to give warning OF the approach
of violent storms, and during the next
months or six weeks the observers in the
south. and particularly on the coast, viii
be on the alert for any news of unusual
disturbances in the lower attitudes which
may bring disaster with them.
The government has taken every pre-
caution to secure accurate information
concerning all storms which develop in
the hurricane latitude, so that timely
warning may be given at all points that
are likely TO feel them.
AS soon as Observer Smyth receives
further information he will determine
where the rockets VIII be displayed in
savannah, and how the warnings will be
conveyed to the coast points and the sea
islands.

The First Conviction for Sunday
Liquor Selling.
]. II. LANCE was tried before Recorder
Wilson yesterday morning on a charge
Of keeping his barroom open on Sunday
and selling beer and other drinks. Lieut..
Reilly reported that the witness, John
son, had not been found, but would be
arrested as soon as he returned to the
city.
J. f. LANCE, brother of the defendant
testified that he had gone into the bar
to get some ice for his brother, who was
sick, and that ne would not have done
so under other circumstances. Policeman
Crosby, who made the case, stated that
a white man had entered the door just
ahead of him, and that when he went
in he found three negro women inside
smoking cigarettes. one of the women
was put on the stand and testified that
she got nothing to drink, nor had she
seen any others get anything.
LANCE stated that he was sick in bed
at the time and knew nothing about
what was going on in the bar. He stated
also that his brother had gone in the bar
TO get ice for him. The statement was
made by one of the witnesses that there
was fight in the bar. in which Lange
was pretty badly bruised over the eye,
and that DR.. Stone had been summoned
to attend him.
Lange claimed that If there had been
any violation at all it was only techni-
cal one as was proven by the fact that
the policeman was able TO get into the
bar.
Recorder Wilson took the view that the
witness Johnson had been sent off. He
concluded from the testimony that young
LANCE was in the bar selling beer, and
he assessed q fine Of 500 and costs. or
thirty days in Jail against Proprietor
Lange This is the first Sunday liquor
selling case in which a penalty has been
assessed against the defendant since the
new administration went into office.

closed up. Such is not the case, as every
