HAS MANY FRIENDS HERE.
Anxious Inquiries on All Sides About
the Governor.

Anxious Inquiries on All Sides About
the Governor.
Gov. Atkinson has many sympathizers
in Savannah, and there has been much
anxiety here during his illness.
Inquiries as to his condition are heard
on all sides, and his extreme illness was
the topic of the day. The bulletins from
his bedside. announcing the results of the
consultations of his physicians were ca
gerly watched, and inquiries came in over
the Morning News telephone all day and
until late at night. There seemed to be
some hope in the early part of the day,
but in the afternoon the reports were such
that his friends here about despaired of
his recovery. 1t was apparent then that
his death was only a question of hours and
though last nights reports seemed a lit
tie more favorable, there was little TO in
dictate that he had even a slight chance
of recovery.
Expressions of regret were heard on
every side The governor has many per-
sonal friends in Savannah, and he has
greatly increased the number by his Wis
it's here on two or three occasions, when
he reviewed the troops during May week
and when he spoke before the Georgia
state Industrial College. The probability
of his death of course leads to political
talk, but that has not developed to any
extent as yet.

DECLARED A DIVIDEND.

Augusta and savannah Directors
Discuss the REORGANIZATION Plan.
The directors of the Augusta and sa.
vannah Railroad Company held a meet
ing yesterday at the banking house Of
'Messrs. Hull & Lathrop. and decided to
declare a dividend of per cent on the
capital stock. The road has not had funds
in some time to declare the regular semi
annual dividend of S1a per cent, and this
dividend has merely been declared from
the income arising from the operations
or the road by the receivers.
The road is behind about $4,000. with
reference to what is due the stockholders
at the contract rental price, but under the
order of court it is paid only what II
earns of itself up to the amount of tho
annual rental according to the lease. Tho
read has not been earning this right along
and hence is behind. as stated.
The only other business before the IL.
rectors was the discussion of the matte,

Defeated Mike Rnedy In Sixteen
Round Battle.

Rilly Mcmillan and Mike Raedy met in
the squared circle last evening to decide
which was the pugilistic champion OF
the District. The fight took place at
the house OF the Young Mems Athletic
Club in Prince Georges county, Md, and
attracted one of the largest crowds OF
spectators ever seen at a similar event in
this vicinity Tickets sold at 50 each, and
II is estimated that over 81 600 was realized
from their sale. Mcmillan. who was first
tn enter the arena, was seconded by North
ridge. Connell and Joe Bateman. Raedy's
attendants were his brother Pat and Billy
NaIly. Henry konig of local fame, was
the referee and performed that trying part
to general satisfaction. Both contestants
had trained hard and faithfully for the
mill and were in prime condition.
When they shook hands, it was seen that
Raedy had BY far the best of it in weight,
height and reach, but subsequent events
showed that these advantages were clearly
overbalance6 by McMillan's superior sci
enCc endurance and ring generalship. The
fight lasted sixteen rounds and was game
exhibition. 1IcMillan a decided ia
vorite from the start. Raedy, while strong.
was slow ani awkward, and had difficulty
in finding his more agile opponent. Nc
MILAN, on the contrary, was clever and
shifty and made nearly all of his blows
tell. He had the best of the opening round
and secured first blood in the second round
by landing 4 hard left on Raedy'S nose,
breaking 1t, and making 1t tender point
of attack in all subsequent exchanges.
Raedy did the best he knew how, and put
I'D a game stubborn fight. He stood a

LATE SPORTING NEW S
BUENA VIsTAs TOOK THREE.
They Defent ted the Bowling Team of
the Catholic Club.

In the bowling match last night on the
alleys of the Euena Vista Club the home
team defeated the team of the Young Mems
Catholic Club three straight. The first and
second games of the Buena Vistas were
good team scores, and in the third they
rolled their first star game of the season.
The individual work of Henry Laue was
by far the best of the tournament. He
bowled so pirs an average of 100 per
game, which breaks the best previous
record of $50, made by Harry Mason of the
Columbus He also made 215 pins for the
highest individual run to date. The highest
previous run was made by Capt. Schulteis
of the CAROLS.
Capt Lansdale bowled down the greatest
number (4iW of pins for his team, and
Rupert Lehman made the highest indi-
Nidual run for his team, 1SJ pins.
Henry Laue's remarkable average of 100
pins in one series is fine record, and will
be hard to beat, but there are dozen or
more bowlers in the league who are liable
at any time to break his record for the
highest individual score: in fact, the alb
sence of such individual scores now and
then in match games is more remarkable
than the making of them. In practice yes
terday afternoon three different members of
the Buena Vista team made above 30 pins
for single individual runs.
