MAeUIRE WILL PAY NO FINE.
HIS OBJECTION SUSTAINED BY THE
CITY ATTORNEY.

The Rules of the Fire Commission
Were Defective Because They Did
Not State Penalties For violations.
But This Has Been Amended.
Chief Mcguire Is 800 Ahead on
the Decision.
City Attorney S. b. Adams has decided
that Fire Chief Mcguire does not have
to pay the fine of 500 imposed upon him
by the fire commission for active parti-
san work at the recent election.
AS the result of this opinion of the city
attorney, Chief Mcguire drew the fun
amount of his months salary as chief
$16666, yesterday, it being pay day with the
fire department and other city employees
Chairman Grayson of the fire commits
sion received copy of the opinion OF
Mr.. Adams from Mayor Myers in the
morning. He informed Chief Mcguire of
the luck which he had had in bucking the
commissioners, and naturally the chief
was glad TO give up 500 out of months
salary would have gone pretty severe.
Neither Mayor Myers nor Chairman
Grayson, both of whom were seen, would
make public the city attorneys opinion.
Both concluded it was not of any interest
TO the public. The substance of the pin-
ion, Mayor Myers said, was that the com
mission had been in error in imposing a
fine for an offense when it had failed to
specify any penalty for the violation of
the rule. Under the bill creating the COM
mission, he said, it had a perfect right to
make rules for the government of the fire
department and to impose penalties for
their violation, but penalty for violation,
whether dismissal, suspension or fine, must
be stated, together with the minimum
and maximum of the fine, which could
be imposed for that particular offense. The
commission failed to do this in making
its rules and that is why it cannot collect
from the chief.
Mayor Myers was asked if this ruling
would apply to all fines imposed and COL
lected by the commission since its inaugu-
ration. He replied that such was not the
case. The men who had been fined here
tofore and had paid their fines, he said
had acknowledged their liability in doing
so and had no resource.
THE lesson is just as effective as if the
fine had been paid" said the mayor, land
it is the lesson rather than the amount
of the fine which the commission is seek
ing"
1t is supposed that Chief Mcguire sought
legal advice as to the payment of the fine
before making his kick to the commits
sion. He seemed to be confident all the
time that he would not have to pay.
Ex-Fireman ]. c. Henderson will not
have to pay the fine of $40 imposed upon
him by the commission at the same time
| the 800 fine was imposed upon
| Chief Mcguire. AS Henderson has re-
signed and had already been punished by
| four days suspension, the commission de-
| cided that it would not be right to collect
| the fine. The decision of the city attor-
| ney might also include this fine.
Chairman Grayson stated that the COM
mission has amended its rules, remedying
| the defect pointed out by the city attor-
| ney The change was made last week
when Chief Mcguire sprung the point on
| them.

Mr.. Harris Request of the Historical
Society.
At the November meeting Of the Georgia
Historical Society last night an interest
ing letter from Hon. Charles Henry Hart
of Philadelphia, who was recently elected
a corresponding member of the society,"
was read by Librarian William Harden.
Mr.. Hart is preparing series of maya
zine articles of an historical character
and desires to copy some of the silhou-
cites of historical characters in the pos
session of the society. These silhouettes
were presented to the society about
twenty years ago by Mr. William Brown,
probably the most celebrated American
silhouette artist. They were all made
from life by the artist, and are there
fore of peculiar interest. Among the
number are likenesses of John
Randolph, of Roanoke, the Mar
quis de Lafayette Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, Andrew Jackson, Abraham
Lincoln, and others. The silhouettes differ
in many respects from the commonly pub
lished Akenesses of the historical char
acters named.
esting "reminiscences of the artist, Mr..
Brown. He inclosed a "broadside,' or
single sheet printed only on one side, of
especial interest to the society, being the
published statement by Rev. George Whit
field and James Habersham of the receipts
and expenditures of the orphan House, y
now known as the Bethesda Orphan
Home, from Dec. Is, 1888 to Jan. l, 1746.
The receipts are stated at f4,9S2 lis. 3d., and
the expenditures, 1851 It's. SID, showing
a deficit in the treasury of the society The
statement was sworn to before the bailiffs
of the colony April 16, 1746. The statement
is printed in the old style. Mr.. Hart did
not state how he came into possession of
the broadside.
Photographs of the silhouettes desired
by Mr.. Hart will be made and forwarded
to him.
Mr.. J. r. Saussy was unanimously
elected curator to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Mr.. w. ]. DeRenne.

ATTENTION, VOTERS.
To the Democrats of the First Con-
sressiOnaI District of Georgia.


sressiOnaI District of Georgia.
The election to-day is one of the most
important that has ever been held in the
history of our country and each one of
you must necessarily be effected by the
results.
All history has demonstrated that the
free coinage of silver at an arbitrary legal
ratio differing from it's true market ratio
to gold, will not advance its bullion value.
Under the Bland-Allison law our govern
ment purchased silver to the extent of
$24,OOO,O0O per annum, but the price of sill
ser bullion continued to fall We then in
creased our purchases, under the act of
1890 and bought 100000 ounces of silver
per annum for nearly three years, until
the panic caused by 1t in 1893 warned us
to stop. This was about equal to the en-
tire annual output of silver in the United
States, but the price of the bullion still
steadily declined.
If free silver coinage at 16 to 1 fails TO
advance the price of an ounce of silver
from its present market price, of about
Csc. to $1.29, all gold coin will be driven
from our country and disappear. We will
necessarily sink to the level of silver
monometallism and will have the single
silver standard. This will mean that our
dollars will lose half their purchasing
power. This will be a reputation of one
half of ali existing debts, public and pri-
vate. This must be clearly shown to be
necessary and justiflable or it will be
dishonest, and will cast a dark and last
ing stain upon our people and our coun-
try.
All patriotic citizens hould vote against
such measure. In doing this you should
support the sound money democratic
ticket. Vote for Palmer and Buckner.
Don't vote the republican ticket. The re-
publican party is not entitled to the vote
of our people, and represents principles
to which we have always been opposed If
you vote for Mckinley he will not carry
Georgia, but your vote will be swallowed
up in the total republican vote This will
not only create a false impression at home
and abroad of the strength of the repub-
hcan party in this district, but it will
weaken by so much the strength and eff
feet of the protest that lifelong democrats
are making against the abandonment and
betrayal OF the partys principles, which
took place at Chicago when our birth
right was sold for 'silver fraud"

The Body of the Unknown Drowned
Put Away Unidentified.

Put Away Unidentified.
The body of the unknown white man,
found floating in the river opposite the
foot of Barnard street, was buried yester-
day in Laurel Grove cemetery.
The body was kept for possible identifi-
cation all during the forenoon, but no one
called to see if it be that of some miss
ing friend or relative. Many, prompted
by curiosity. stopped at the morgue at
the cemetery.
The interment had to be .hastened on
the body had been in the water. Had
left longer for Identification.
Representatives of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company called to see if
the deceased could be recognized as one
OF their agents. Their visit was prompted
by the statement that a solicitors book
bearing the companys name had been
found on the body. So many of this class
of agents are soliciting for a COM
pany that the book formed but a slight
clue to the dead mans identity. 1t con-
veyed no knowledge to the local insur-
ance men by which they could place the
man.
No other article that could lead to the
disclosure of his identity was found
Death was entirely due to drowning as
no marks of violence were found. No re-
ports of a missing man have been receiv-
ed, and the strangers identity may never
be disclosed

ent Age Belongs to Them.
Mr.. Lou ]. Beauchamp delivered the
last of his series of lectures in Savannah
last night at Odd Fellows hall to a much
larger audience that has yet greeted aim.
Mr.. Beauchamp has lectured in this city
under the auspices of the Womans Chris
tian Temperance Union, having been in

vannah and requested by the national
president, Miss Frances E. Willard, to
work in the cause of total abstinence
here. He said that he will in all prob
ability return during the early months Of
next year to take up the temperance
fight again, and he hoped then, when the
people are not so greatly interested in a
question of such great national import
as now that he will be able to arouse
more enthusiasm in the cause and to or.
ganize greater opposition to the liquor
traffic in Savannah.
Mr.. Beauchamp prefaced his closing ad-
dress with an acknowledgment of she
courteous and hospitable treatment he
has received in Savannah and compn-
mented the local membership of the Mo-
mans Christian Temperance Union on it's
adherence to the society's principles 4nl

work on accumulation of the
Forces In Contemplation.
The county commissioners will probably
take up the matter of the reorganiza-
ton of the control of the convict forces
and the management of the county works
within the next ten days or two weeks.
Their regular meeting for November will
be held week from tomorrow. and IL
may be that the matter win come up
definitely at that time
The matter Of reorganizing the guard
forces at the camps is In the hands OF
Mr.. William F. Brown, who has been
placed temporarily in charge of the coun-
tvs public works, with practically the
same duties as were those of the county
engineer. Yesterday was Mr. Brown y
first day. and he has not as yet deanlte-
ly decided what changes will be made
Ihere is no doubt, however, that there
VIII be several of the present guards or
other officials of the convict camps
looking for other positions within a
few days. Believing this, 1t is said there
have already been many applicants for
these positions. The appointments are to
be made with the approval of the board
ana II Is understood an effort will be made
to secure good corps of employees.
1t has not been determined as yet what
the commissioners viii do about the prin-
cipal control OF the county forces ana
county works 1t is understood they arc
somewhat divided on this question, ana
the discussion of it may be continued for
some time before anything definite is done.
The opinion Of some Of them is there
should be scientific man at the head
of the department, while Others seem in
clined to favor a business man. Just
what the result OF these varying opin~
ions will be remains to be seen
