THE ORPHANS EXCURSIONS ENDED
The Episcopal and Louisa Porter
Home Children Back Home.


The party Of orphans from the Louisa
Porter Home and the Episcopal Orphan
Home, which went up Friday evening to
visit the exposition. returned yesterday
morning full OF happy "reminiscences Of
a pleasant day spent at the show.
The trip was the most perfect Of all
the excursions that have gone from Sa-
vannah. While its predecessors were all
attended with some little drawbacks to
perfect enjoyment OF the trips, the
last one met with nothing that could
possibly mar its pleasure. The day at the
exposition grounds was spent in a thor
oughly enjoyable manner. The air was
warm and balmy, and all seemed TO be
exerting themselves to their utmost to
make the visit of the orphans a pleasant
and happy one. The children were the
recipients of all the hospitality and
kindness that could be heaped upon them,
and IL is needless to say that they en-
tered into a thorough appreciation of
all that was done for them and OF all

Mr.. d Anugnac and Mr.. Elliott, the gen

the trip some better than the preceding
ones; so that the children saw a great
zeal more than those that went up be-

and instructive features at once. Mr..
d'Antignac says the children had seen al
most as much of the show by dinner time
as the other children saw during their
whole stay. They were carried through
several Of the best attractions on the
Midway and the little girls were given
ride on the merry go-round. The most
interesting thing for the children was the
performance of Hagenback's trained ami
mails.
As there was but a small crowd at the
grounds the children had a splendid OPP

for the orphans. All the orphans have
been to the fair, and there will be no more

SAW THE FLAG Presented.
Col. 5. b. spencer's Recollection OF
the OchIOchnee Light Infantry.

Col. 5. II. Spencer's Recollection of
the OchIOchnee Light Infantry.
Col S. B. Spencer, principal of Chatham
grammar school No. /. has some inter
esting "reminiscences Of the Ochlochnee
Light Infantry flag, which was recently
turned over to Capt. Paine at Waycross
by Capt w. S. Rockwell of Savannah.
As stated in the Morning News, the
flag was at first thought to have belonged
to the Oglethorpe Light Infantry of Sa-
vannah. Col. Spencer was present at the
presentation of the flag, and remembers
the incident well. Capt. Paine, he says,
ested in the flag. 1t was made by Miss
Sessions, afterward Mrs. Paine, and was
presented by her to the Ochlochnee Light
Infantry from the steps of the Presbyte-
rian church of Townsville. On the op-
ening of hostilities the company went to
Brunswick, where il became a part of
the Twenty-ninth Georgia.
Capt. W. j. Young of the Ochlochnee
Light Infantry, was elected colonel of the
regiment and Private w. W. Spencer, a
brother of Col Spencer was elected cap
tain. Capt. Spencer died at Franklin,
Tenn, toward the close Of the war from
wounds received at Nashville. The regf-
ment did duty on the coast in the neigh
Dor hood of Savannah for nearly a year,
and the company flag was left in Savan-
western army That is how it came to be
captured by Sherman's army. Col Spen-
Ger says the company was called the
Ochlochnee Light Infantry because it was
raised on both sides the Ochlochnee river
in Southwest Georgia.

at Rome was announced in the Morning

" bishop of Savannah. He came here
from Charleston, s. c.. where he was a
missionary in 1870, and spent three years
in Savannah.
1t was during his administration of the

himself to his flock and rendered himself
popular in the entire community by his
enlarged ideas and practical benevolehce
and charity. He resigned his see on ac-
count of failing health and went to Cam
ada, where he did important work for
the church.

MATILDA DIDN'T TALK.
PnrsOn Jones' Trance Convert I'm
mcrsed in the Ogeechee.


Matilda Johnson, who had such a won
derful experience while in trance a few
days ago was put under the waters OF the
Ogeechee canal yesterday morning by
Parson Jones Of the Zion Hill Baptist
church.
1t was announced that Matilda would
relate her experiences on the bank of the
canal before being led into the water, and
quite a large crowd gathered being com
posed about equally of whites and blacks.
The crowd was disappointed, however. as
Matilda had nothing to say. She merely
shouted a little and clapped her hands
a few times when led into the water.
She was dressed in pure white There
were two other converts baptised.
Before administering the ordinance of
baptism Parson Jones delivered a dis
course on the canal bank. The parson
was under good Roadway when a boy, who
was seated with a crowd of others on an
old fiat boat, dropped over into the canal
This created such a diversion that by the
time the boy was fshed out the parson
had lost the thread of his discourse and
so one Xof the brethren began a PRAYER
The crowd which had gathered to hear
Matilda relate her trance experience was
somewhat disappointed.

their well-known haunts barred against
them and though several places persisted
in selling the business was conducted
with extreme caution. The men who OBJ

proprietors.

not read the Morning News yesterday
morning or took the mayors order to be

Wilson tomorrow morning. At least two
of the saloon keepers are known to be on

may be more. Policeman Maher found
Mr.. Henry Schroder's place at Brough-

was ordered to close up and a case was
entered against him at the police bar
racks.
Policeman Murphy found the door of
G. A. Bruning's saloon, No. 211 West
