ANXIOUS TO GO TO ATLANTA.
THE MILITARY WILL ATTEND THE
INAUGURATION IN FORCE.

All the Companies of the First Reg
iment Vote in Favor of Making the
Trip-Cadets and OgIethorpes VIII
Garry over 80 Men Each-The
Chatham Artillery Expects to Go
and Carry the Washington Guns.
The Naval Reserve May Also Go.
Hussars and Guards VIII Not Make
the Trip.
Savannah Will be well represented IN
Atlanta at the inauguration OF Gov AT
kinson. The First Regiment will 80 IN
over go strong. The Chatham Artillery
has practically decided to go, and the
Naval Reserve has the matter under seri-
Gus consideration, with the probabilities
In favor Of going. This will make in tho
neighborhood of 300 soldiers from Savan-
nah. besides Il large number of civilians,
who will be on hand.
The Chathams propose to take with them
their Washington guns. The officers viii
take their horses and horses for the gum
and men will be secured in Atlanta. The
Galatians will prove no small attraction
in Atlanta.
Last night was the regular drill and
meeting night of the First Regiment as
we'll as other commands. All the COM
panies had good turn outs, and the sub
ject of the Atlanta trip was considered al
the company meetings. The verdict OF al
was favorable to making the trip, and the
officers will so report at the meeting to be
held at Col. Lawtons office tomorrow
afternoon.
The officers and men will put in their
spare time from now until Friday night
preparing for the trip The Cadets ex-
pect TO go up with full ranks. At the
meeting last night thirty-two men stated
they were ready to go to Atlanta and
about twenty more are expected to fall
in line.
Capt McLaws of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry said last night that he expected
10 carry fifty to fifty-fve men. This will
make good showing for the Second bat
talon. The three companies of the First
battalion, the Republican Blues, the Irish
Jasper Greens, and the German Voun-
teers will carry between thirty and forty
men each.
Capt Walker of the Chatham Artillery
said last night that it was practically
decided that the Chathams would make
the trip, and in this case they will carry
about thirty-fve men. The only point
unsettled is the transportation Of guns
and horses. The adjutant generals or
ders stated that cavalry companies would
attend dismounted, and it is not known
whether this applies to the artillery. If
transportation can be secured for the
Washington guns and equipments, and
for the officers horses, horses or mules
for the guns and caissons can be obtain
ed in Atlanta.
Lieut.. II. S. Colding, commanding the
Naval Reserve, is north but the sent-
ment in favor of making the trip is very
strong among the reserves, and they may
decide to go.
The Hussars will not attend. Lieut.. A.
Minis said last night that the notice was
too short, and the date too inconvenient.
Most of the men are employed in CONNER
cial lines and this is now the busiest por-
tion of the season. which makes it practi-
cally impossible for them to get off.
The Guards, as already announced, will
not go, for practically the same reasons
as those given by Lieut.. Minis.

THE UNIVERSITY CLUB.
Col. John Screven Gives the Mem
bers n Literary Treat.


The quarterly meeting Of the University
Club, held last night in the room over
the Chatham Bank, was an interesting
one. The attendance was not large, but
it was composed Of those members who
take an active interest in the clubs af-
fairs, and to whom its meetings are al
ways a treat.
The feature of the evening was the
reading OF a paper on Voltaire, by Col.
John Screven, president Of the club, who
has recently made a study of this sub
jeCt. Col. Screyen has read through
nearly all the volumes Of Noltaire's works,
and was, therefore, well able to give an
interesting sketch of his life and career
from an historical as well as philosophi-
cal standpoint. Col. ScreVen first read
a translation from one Of Voltaire's most
interesting works, a sketch of a famous
parsonage of that time, and this he fol-
lowed up with an historical and philo-
sophcal sketch Of the writer, showing
how Voitare's character was moulded
largely by the conditions of life and the
character with which he was surrounded
at the time in which he lived Col Screw
ems paper was one of the most interest
ing literary treats the University Club
has enjoyed in a long time and at It's
conclusion vote of thanks was rendered
him and he was asked for copy OF 1t
to go on file with the archives of the
club.
Three new members were proposed, and
there names will be acted on later. In
the general discussion which followed
one Of the members of the club made
suggestion that some steps be taken to
ge. up an endowment fund of 5000 or
more for the purpose of keeping a stu
dent always at the university. The in
come from a fund of this kind would be
sufficient to keep a student there from
year to year for all time to come. The
club now is keeping a student there pay
ing his expenses out of dues collected
from the members. The present bene-
ficiary of that fund is doing good work,
ard his course since being there has been
very satisfactory to the members. The
club will undoubtedly consider at an
early date, the matter of increasing its
good work In this direction.

AT WESLEY MONUMENTAL.
Some Interesting Methodist History
INDUCED in Last Night.

Services at Wesley Monumental church
last night, in celebration of the buildings
completion, were just a little more in
formal than usual, but proved of great in
terest on account of the historical Informal
ton regarding the Methodist church that
was given by the speakers.
Letters were first read by Rev. A. NJ.
Williams from several of the absent
friends of the church and it's former pas
tors. One of these from Mr. c. B. Rogers,
gave an interesting history of the building
of Wesley Monumental church. Mr..
Rogers was a member of the building COM
mittee when it went to work in the sixties
and took an active part in pushing the
business to an end that gave promise of
the happy result now achieved.
Rev. A. M. Wynn gave an entertaining
history of Methodism, and the Wesley
Monumental church. He spoke at length
of John Wesley, his work in Savannah,
line of the promptings of the doctrines his
conscience advocated.
Mr.. Wynn said that Methodism is the
foremost denomination of the world, with
its $4,000 members with the exception of
those churches that are authorized by the
state, notably the Church of England and
the Lutheran of Germany; and this growth
years of it's existence. Mr.. Wynn
speaks eloquently for the ardor of its
workers and the purity of its principles
The music rendered during the services
was very fine. One of the most beautiful
numbers was the solo by Mrs. Williams.
She sang the twenty-third psalm, 1.-THE
Lord Is My Shepherd l Shall Not Want"
adapted to lovely music in a harmonious
manner.
The services tonight promise to be very
interesting. The other Methodist churches
of the city are to take part.
Rev. C. G. N. MacDonell, who addresses
the meeting tonight, is one Of Savan-
nah's favorite clergymen. In 1854 he was
converted in Trinity church. this city,
and his first year in the ministry was as
a missionary in Savannah. He succeeded
Mr.. Wynn as pastor of Trinity church in
1868, and served that station two years.
Wesley needing his splendid organizing
talents, he was transferred to that church
in 1870, and served lit four years. In 1881
he was returned to Wesley Monumental
church, and gave three years of his best
work to the charge. AT two other periods
he was presiding elder of the Savan-
nah district In all, he has worked
twelve years in this city, besides spend
ing his young manhood here in business.
Mr.. MacDonell has many relatives here,
among whom are Hon. A. H MacDonen,
the former judge of the city court He is
leading spirit in the South Georgia con-
ference. At the last general conference
of the entire church. he lead the dele
CATION from South Georgia. His many
friends will be glad to see him once more
and will greet him at the church to-
night.

COMING FOR ELMORE.
Sheriff Nance Wires He VIII Bring
the RequisitiOn and Reward.


Sheriff Nance of Abbeville, S. c., is ex-
pected here to-day with a requisition for
William Elmore colored, an account of
whose arrest here for murder commit
ted at Calhoun Falls, S. c., was published
in yesterdays Morning News. Chief Nc
Dermott received the following telegram
from Sheriff Nance yesterday;
Hold Elmore. VIII get requisition pa
pers and reward. Will wire later"
1t will be seen by this that Sheriff Nance
expects to bring the $lOO reward offered for
Elmore's arrest with him.
Elmore is now trying to deny the confess
sion that he made to Chief McDermott
Sunday afternoon but makes very poor
show of it, He realizes that in making
this confession he has pretty near put a
rope around his own neck. To a Morning
News reporter, who saw him at the bar
racks he said:
"They told me to tell it so as to make
it easy on me, and that's what ! DONE
I told some of it and they just put the
rest down anyhow"
AS Chief McDermott and the detectives
knew nothing whatever about the details
of the crime which Gilmore narrated, it is
evident that they could not have put
down" these things without his telling
lnem voluntarily IL the circumstance
as he has narrated them, are found to be
correct, then he has furnished pretty con-
elusive evidence against himself.
In a talk with Chief McDermott, later
in the presence Of a Morning News repor-
ter, Gilmore almost broke down and APP
peared to be on the point of repeating his
confession, but did not do so.
'"They haven't got any evidence against
me at Calhoun Falls, and if they didn't
hot bnxr NJ In
thing" he said, referring to the confess
ion.
Elmore says he is willing to go back to
South Carolina without requisition.

AT THE CHURCH OF CHRIST.
Elder BOswOrth's Sermon Much En-
JOyed by Those Who Attended.

Elder Bosworths sermon to the people.
at the Church of Christ, on Bolton street,
last night was based on the language Of
Jesus to Nicodemus, the ruler of the
Jews. John III; SIS. eye must be born
again" Rev Bosworth said this passage
was really considered a dark and din
cult passage to understand, but that the
trouble was in the misconcepdon of what
the Savior was comparing, and in the
second place, In not conforming to the
great law of Interpretation that pas
sage of scripture must not only harmonic
with all others as null. The Jewish sys-
TEN was based on a birth of flesh. The
Savior declared, Il am not going to put
my new wine into your old bottles. My
kingdom shall not be based on heshly
birth. but on a new birth, by which the
individual publicly takes Me as his guide,
my name as that which he shall bear
through life and build a character for
himself like mine. The rite OF Christian
baptism was administered at the close
of the services His theme for tomorrow
night is "The Thief on the Cross"

STILL MAKING INQUIRIES.
Some of the Commissioners Want an
Early Investigation of Chain


Gang.
The county commissioners are still MAX
Ing diligent inquiries into the reports with
regard to the county chain-gang, and some
of them advocate holding an immediate
Investigation with regard to them. Two
of the commissioners, however, while they
think there should be some investigation,
want to wait for some specific charges,
and they consider also that the matter is
one which should be taken up by the chair
man of the chain-gang committee, DR.. T.
j. Charlton.
DR.. Charlton, who lately returned from
an extended trip has just begun to famil-
iarize himself with county matters and on
account of his long absence has been una
bic to do anything up to the present time.
Several of the commissioners were in con-
eultation with one another at various
times yesterday with regard to the situa-
tion, and they appear TO make more of it
than they want anything known about.
Commissioner Kehoe does not hesitate to
express himself to the effect that there
should be a thorough reorganization OF
the control of the convicts.
County Engineer w. A. Dayton was in
the city yesterday and saw two of the
commissioners. To them and to several OF
his friends he stated that so fan as he was
concerned the reports were unfounded
and he also told them that in his opinion
they We're the result of some political en-
nifty against him. From what one of the
commissioners said yesterday, every fea-
ture of the case appears to be under con.
slderation by them. and If they intend do.

EASIER ON THE SHIPS.
Quarantine Regulations Modified by
the Sanitary hoard.

the SanituFy hOhFu.
The sanitary board, at a recent meeting,
made important notifications in the quar-
antine regulations, notice of which has
been given in the Morning News.
On and after Nov. steamships in wa
ter ballast from Havana, Rio Janeiro
and Santos will be brought TO the Savan-
nah quarantine station for disinfeetion
and fumigation instead of being taken to
the government quarantine station at Sap
elo.
The Importance of this modification Is
apparent to all shipping men, as il means
a saving Of several days in time to yes
sells from the ports named. Nearly all
steamships now come in water ballast, so
that there will be. very few Of them
which will not receive the benefit of this
change in the rules. Steamships and sail
ing vessels from Havana, Rio Janeiro and
Santos with other than water ballast will
be taken to Sapelo as heretofore.
