those who had the pleasure of using
that line. This year our educational
friends meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July

SLATED FOR THE COMMISSIONS.
Probable Appointees to FIJI the Ex-
hiring Terms

In spite of the fact that the battle for
and against commissions has not yet been
fought. it is reported that the administra-
ton has already practically agreed upon
the successor to those commissioners
whose terms expire in January.
The Morning News announced a day or
two ago that Capt Jordan f. Brooks had
been slated TO succeed Commissioner 10.
seph w. Jackson on the police commits
sion and this seems to be generally looked
upon as assured.
For fire commissioner to succeed Mr..
George w. Parish. Alderman R. M Hull
that position or remaining as a member
Of council. Alderman HulFs interest in
freoand insurance matters is well known.
For water commissioner, to succeed Mr..
John II. Fox, ex-Alderman w. G. Cam
is said to have been slated. Mr.. Cam
was chairman of the water committee for
several years and much of the credit for
Savannah's splendid new system of water
works Is due TO him.
To succeed Mr. w. w Chisholm on the
board of tax assessors and receivers, Mr..
William L. Wilson is said TO be the
choice.
To succeed Capt. c. S. Ellis, who is the
only member of the park and tree com
mission whose term expires in January,
no names have been mentioned as yet.
As the park and tree commission is re-
garded as a strictly non-political body, it
is possible that Capt. Ellis will be reap
pointed.
As to the other retiring commissioners,
they can have no soreness over the fact
that others are selected to succeed them,
as they could not reasonably expect reap
pointment under this administration. The
spirit of the acts creating the commits
sions lconkemplates that they should be-
come non-partisan by successive appoint
ments by each administration.
Whether the selections have been made
by Mayor Meldrim and his councillors or
by the ever ready public 1t can hardly be
gainsaid that the gentlemen who have
been mentioned are eminently worthy for
the positions which have been assigned to
them and that the welfare of the depart
ments for which they have been mention
ed can be safely entrusted to them. Capt.
Brooks is generally regarded as eminently
fitted for the position of police commits
sioner and that he would prove valuable
addition to that body is hardly to be
doubted.

CAPT. MLAws TO RESIGN.
VIII Retire From the OgIethOrpe's
Command.

VIII OSleInOrpe'S
Command,
Capt. U. H. McIAws will resign the COM
mand of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry
His intention was made known to the COM
pany at the meeting last night. The no
tice of the contemplated resignation of
their captain is the second the Oglethorpes
have received within the past few days
from their officers. Lieut. c. F. Law no.
titled the company recently that he in
tended submitting his resignation.
The action of Capt. McLaws in resign
ing his command was brought about by
the demands made upon his time by his
business. He found that 1t would not be
practical for him to give the office of cap
tain all the attention it properly demands
ana at the same time conduct his business.
He has held the captaincy for more than
year, having been elected to succeed
Maj. W. S. Rockwell in August of last
year. For short while prior to his pro-
motion to the captaincy, Capt. McLaws
was the first lieutenant of the company. In
both positions he made an admirable rep
utation by the soldierly qualities he evinc-
ed and the thorough knowledge of the tao
tics he displayed.
Lieut.. Law, whose resignation has not
yet been accepted by the adjutant gener-
al, presided at the meeting last night
There were several of the veteran and hon
orary members of the company present,
among them Col A. R. Lawton Maj w.
S. Rockwell, Capt. M. p. Usina and Capt.
White. A committee was appointed to ex-
press the regret of the command upon the
course the captain has decided upon. An
, other committee was appointed 20 submit
recommendation to the company for q
commanding officer to succeed Capt. Nc
Laws. This committee as comprised of
Maj. w. S. Rockwell, Capt. NJ. P. Usina,
Sergt V. L. Wells, Private E. E. Furrer,
and Private George Nell It\will be the
duty of this committee to consider the
available ma terial from which a success
or to Capt. McLaws may be selected, and
TO report to the company.
A feature of the meeting was the feeling
shown by the men for the company. IN
daunted by the fact that two of their lead
ers are to resign, the members of the COM
pany intend to remain loyal to it and to
exert every effort to have il maintain the
high order of excellence for which it is
noted. Each man present signified his in
tention of obeying in every sense the sue
cessor to Capt. McLaws.

CYCLISTS BUTTED HEADS.
Singular Collision in Which Two
Riders Were Injured.


serious bicycle accident occurred yes
terday afternoon shortly before o'clock
at Bull street and oglethorpe avenue. Mr..
James Sullivan coll1ded with negro, and
both sustained serious Injuries.
The accident was peculiar in the way the
riders were injured. Mr.. Sullivan was
riding north on the right side of Bull
street. The negro wast trying to turn out
of Bull to ride east on Oglethorpe avenue
when it happened. With a thud that could
be heard 100 yards away, the heads of the
two riders crashed together. Neither was
thrown from his wheel. Each was stunned
and dazed by the force of the conclusion,
but retained sufficient control to dismount.
They then stood for few moments by
their wheels, reeling and looking as if they
would fall. The negro seemed to recover
his wits first. He was able after time to
mount hts wheel and ride away, the blood
still streaming from long and apparently
deep cut in his forehead.
Mr.. Sullivan was taken by a friend to
Knights drug store at Drayton street and
OglethorPe 'avenaey where eight stitches
were taken in a wound in his forehead.
The young man appeared to be stunned
for some time after the accident.
No parts of the bodies of the two riders
came In contact except their heads. The
wheels did not collide and we've uninjured.

ORDER FROM GEN. oRDwAY.
Lieut.. s. f. ID. Gillespie Was Com
manded to Arrest Beverly Tucker.


Mr.. s. F. B. Gillespie Of this city, who
was a Lieutenant in the United States Vol
unteers, and assistant provost marshal to
Cen Albert Ordway, whose death was
chronicled in the Morning News dispatch
es yesterday, has in his scrapbook many
orders. passes and letters written person
ally by Gen. ordway during the war,
among the most interesting Of which,
perhaps. is the following:
(Confidential) Office Provost Marshal
General, Department of Virginia, Rich
mond, Va, Sept. TO- 1S65.-Lieut. S. F. B.
Gillespie, Assistant Provost Marshal:
Lieutenant: You will proceed immediate
ly, accompanied by Detective Lehman, to
arrest Beverly Tucker. If you succeed in
making the arrest you will bring the pris-
oner TO the city and convey him to the
penitentiary, placing him in charge of
Capt. j. R Schoomaker, commanding mil
itary PRISONS. who will have received pre-
Vious instructions from me. You Will be
careful not to mention the name of your
prisoner. Very respectfully,
Albert Ordway,
Lieutenant Colonel and Provost Marshal
General ,.t
Beverly Tucker was supposed to have
been concerned in the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln, and there was a reward
of $4,000 offered for his arrest. At the
time this order was written, however,
Tucker had made his escape to Canada.
Gen. Ordw9ys he says, was most ex-
cellent gentleman. He married in one of
the best Virginia families, Miss Missouri
Goodwin of Alexandria Gen. Ordway was
a pupil of Prof. Agassiz before he enter
ed the army He was great favorite
with Gen. Foster, with whom he served at
Fort Fisher and Gen. A. H. Terry in the
army of the James and at Richmond and
the citizens of Richmond loved him for
his humane and conciliatory policy of ad-
ministering the complicated duties of his
Office in those irving times after the war.

CITY OFFICIALS SWAP PLACES.
A General Change About on Account
of Absentees

OF Absences.
The city government presented a some
what depleted appearance yesterday. AL
derman w w, owens, vice chairman of
council, was acting mayor by the absence
of Mayor Meldrm and Acting Mayor
Hamilton. Being busily engaged upon pri-
the police court, which duty fell to the
aiting mayor by reason of the absence of
Recorder Hartridge in Atlanta.
Alderman O'Donnell had been des!gnat-
ed for this duty, but. being i'll. Alderman
krouskoff was called upon at the last mo-
ment to officiate. This he did to the per-
feet satisfaction of all concerned, with the
exception, perhaps. of those who felt the
weight Of his sentences There was the
twenty-five cases in all. These
were disposed of by Alder
man Krouskoff with impartiality
and discrimination and the appearance of
the docket would indicate that there had
been an old hand at the business.
Probably the alderman had some idea of
trouble when council was wrangling over
quarantine, the fire commissioners or
house drainage matters, but when he as
sumed his seat in the police court and
all sorts of people began poking all sorts
of stories and complaints at him, better
definition of trouble doubtless presented
Itself
There were family fights, cutting af-
trays and tealing, to all of which the al
derman listened with seeming complacen-
cy.
This is a busy season for Alderman
Krouskoff. however, and he could not pre-
side again to-day. Alderman Owens has
been selected to preside. and will probably
retain the -Vestments until Recorder Hart
ridge returns.
Owing to the departure of
several other members for At
lanta last night, the city govern
ment will be even more depleted to-day
| than yesterday. Both sides have drawn
heavily upon the municipal STAFF. and most
of the departments will be minus their
l official heads this morning.

ton.

WILL NOT OBSERVE ARBOR DAY.
Savannah School Children Not Like
Iy to Have "A Holiday.

savannah School Children Not Like
Iy to Have a Holiday.
Arbor day win fail, as prescribed by the
law of the state, upon the first Friday
in December. The common school law
orders that the day be observed in all the
schools of the state but it is in but few,
If any, that the day is recognized to the
extent. of its becoming a holiday. At
some few of the schools it is usual for
the children to plant a tree or two in rec
ognition Of the law and the sentiment and
purpose for which 1t was enacted.
The schools of Savannah have never OBJ
served the day. Supt. Ashmore in speak
ing of 1t, said that the custom originated
in those sections of the country that are
comparatively treeless. 1t became neces-
sary there for some steps to be taken by
which the trees that have been cut away
might be restored or the plains that never
had them might be clothed with forests
In those sections the day is strictly OBJ
served, and many trees are planted.
Here at Savannah there is no necessity
for new trees to be set out by the children
Such work is in charge of the authorities
and the indiscriniinate planting of trees
in the streets is forbidden. In the yards
of the schools there are all the trees that
are regarded as necessary. o
1t has always been the policy of the SUI
perintendent and the teachers to impress
upon the children the necessity for taking
care of the trees and shrubbery of the
streets and parks, and they try to persuade
the small boy to resist the temptation he
Is always under to take out his jackknife
and start to work on tree.

DoINGs OF THE DETECTIVES.
A Report of Their Work TO the PO-
lice Commission.

An interesting report of the work of the
city detectives for the past year will soon
be made to the police commissioners. The
report wifi include among other things,
an account Of all reported thefts, the num-
Der of tAieYes caught, the amount of prop
erty reported stolen and that recovered.
1t is said the report will show creditable
work, especially in the recovery of stolen
property. There. are few instances in
which the detectives have failed to recover
the property in cases. where information
has been promptly given at the barracks.
The success in this particular class of
detective work depends largely upon the
chance given the officers by timely reports
Chief MoDermott is well pleased with
the work and believes the report will be
an excellent showing for his men.

ANSWERS HIS WIFE'S SUIT,

Fred COrkish Makes Some Pretty
Salty Allegations in a Cross Bill.
Fred Corkish has filed an answer to the
suit for divorce filed against him by his
wife, Emmie Corksh.
The answer is in the shape of a cross
bill in which he makes some pretty Sc
we're allegations. He says he endeavored
to bring about a reconciliation, but that
after the first bill for divorce was dis
missed she continued her immoral ways
and practices. He attacks her character
without any qualifications, and names two
correspondents.
In conclusion he asserts that she is not
entitled to divorce, and prays that in
stead of being granted to her a total di-
vorce be granted him. The cross bill was
filed for the defendant by Messrs. Sea-
brook & Morgan, his attorneys.
