GUNS OF THE GATE CITY GUARD.
Rivalry for the Honor of EscOrting
President Cleveland.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 1A-There is a big
fight on here among the local militia as
to what organization shall act as an es-
cort to President Cleveland during his
stay here next week.
Gov. Atkinson has been appealed to and
the matter may get to the courts. The
trouble exists between the Fifth Regiment
of Georgia on one hand and the Gate
City Guard on the other. Two years ago
the latter organization refused to re-enlist
in the state volunteer militia The Gate
City Guard is an old and wealthy organi-
zation. 1t has plenty Of money to spend
and prefers entertaining visiting military
to going into state encampment Still it
wants to carry arms on holidays. The
volunteer troops of the state insist that
the Guard ought not to be allowed guns
unless it is subject to the discipline of
the adjutant general and military board.
Now the state volunteers refuse to pa
rade with the Guard if the latter bears
arms. Attorney Rosser filed an argument
with Gov. Atkinson to-day against al
lowing the Guard to carry guns. Which
ever way the governor decides there will
probably be an application to the courts
for an injunction.
Both organizations are anxious to act
as escort to the President and his cab
met, but it may turn out that both will
be prevented by restraining orders.

FIGURING ON RIGHTS OF WAY.
The street Opening Committee Con-
sidering Propositions.

The city council committee on opening
streets held a lengthy session yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of considering
propositions from property owners in the
southern section.
One of the propositions under consider
alton was from Mr.. S. X. Platshek, rep
resenting Mr.. J. s. kaufman of New
York, who owns a valuable strip of real
estate between Bull and Whitaker streets
from Seventh street south TO the limits.
Mr.. Platshek is willing to sell the city
the rights-of-way for the streets through
the property named at the rate of 80
cents per square foot, the same basis on
which he has made sales>of lots from that
property recently. The committe is will

Mr.. Platshek admits this right-of-way as
to Eighth street and a forty-foot right
of-way on Seventh street, but no more

WANTS his LITTLE DAUGHTER.
John Meyer Suing for the Custody of
His Child.

His Child.
Judge Ferrill of the court Of ordinary
has habeas corpus case to deal with
some time during the present term
John Meyer, through his attorneys
Messrs. Seabrook & Morgan, sets forth
that he is the faher of Maggie Louise
Meyer, a young child which IS now in
the custody of its mother, Mamie Meyer
who is retaining it on the ground that
she is entitled TO its custody as its moth
er.
Meyer states that he never consented
to give the mother the custody of the
child, and that he has demanded the
possession Of her, but the mother has
persistently refused to give her mp. He
now desires TO assume custody of the
little girl as he claims that the mother
is not a fit and proper person TO take
care of her, and asks that a writ Of
habeas corpus issue from the court of
ordinary requiring the mother TO show
cause why she should not give the child
up.
The case will be heard some time this
term. The mother has had Meyer arrest
ed on q warrant charging him with aban-
doning the child, and he was to have
been tried in the city court on that charge
last Saturday, but demanded Indictment
and jury trial.

Capt. Purse Can Have IL.

Alderman Gleason has a pokeberry
bush at his stables on. Bryan street
which ought to be given to Capt. Purse
for the Savannah exhibit at the exposi-
ton. The bush is a pretty good sample
of the size to which weeds grow around
Savannah when unmolested. 1t is near
ly ten feet in hight and at its base il is
eighteen inches in circumference. In
fact, in appearance it is more like a
young tree than a weed The bush was
cut several days ago on one of the va
cant lots on the Springfield plantation.
Its age is about seven months as the
ground in that locality was cleaned up
about seven months ago

MAY ALTER ITS CONTRACT.

The MilIedgeviIle and EatOntCGl's
Agreement With the Middle GeOr-
gia.
There has been some inquiry as to
what position the Milledgeville and Eaton
ton railroad win take after the reorganiza-
ton of the Central system is completed
The road is known as the Eatonton
branch, which was one of the leased lines
of the Central, and which when given
the right by the court to Withdraw from
the Central, took advantage of it and
entered into a contract with the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic. That contract mas
been renewed for another year. and ac-
cOrding to its present term does not ex-
pire until January, 1897.
There has been some talk however, to
the effect that this contract would NOT
stand until its expiration. but that some
change would be made which would be
mutually agreeable to the parties con-
cerned. just what changes are contem-
plated, however, is not known.

ROBBED IN 4 PULLMAN CAR.
w. II. Harvey suing the Company for
the Value of "A Diamond Pin.

W. II. Harvey, through his attorneys,
Messrs. Joseph NJ. Dreyer and William
p. Hardee. filed suit in the city court yes
terday against the Pullman Palace Car
Company for S1S5 damages for the loss of
a diamond pin.
The plaintiff claims that on Jan. IS,
1895, he was in one of the companys cars,
travelling from Savannah to Waycross,
that sometime in the night after he
had retired to his berth a diamond pin,
which he wore in his scarf was stolen,
and that the theft was due to the care
lessness and negligence on the part of
the company, which failed to provide the
proper watch and care over the prop
erty of its patrons in the car.
The case is very similar in many re-
spects to the one brought by Miss Elise
Martin of South Carolina, in which she
recovered some 500 for the loss of valua-
BILE jewelry which was stolen from her
berfh while she was asleep.
