GRAND ARMY OFFICE SEEKERS
C. VI. Ellis After the Couectorship at
Jacksonville.


Jacksonville, Fla, April 9.-The an
nouncement that Capt Charles NJ. Ellis.
the commander of the department OF
Florida, Grand Army of the Republic. IS
after the collectorship of this port, adds
another 10 the long line of union veteran
soldiers of that organization who are after
official ''plums" under the Mckinley ad-
ministration.
Capt Ellis, however, has other and
stronger claims upon the office he seeks
Although a native of Portland Me. he
has been a citizen of Jacksonville from
way back" In the days of many steam
boats he was a popular purser on the
river, but for years has been at the head
of the grocery and shipping house of
Ellis & Hussey and is acquainted with
every captain that sails into this port.
But l started in to note a few of the
grand army men who are already re-
Offices" As Mai. Mckinley is a Grand
Army man himself, he selected Past Com
mander-in-chief r. A. Alger for Secre-
tary of War, and Gen. Horace Porter and
Col John Hay have been given two Of
the biggest ''plums."
Up in Georgia BOSS" Buck is the lead
ing Grand Army man, and he goes to ia
Smyth is after something, as well is Com
rade Smythe who wants the Augusta
postoffice. Pease and Sholes of Savannah
are also after something, as well as sew
eral other comrades
Here in Jacksonville BOSS" Eagan is
supposed to be slated. while McMurray,
James and Ellis are hoping to be down
in Tampa. DR.. Bruce, Col Glenn and
Comrade PARCEL are on the anxious
seat, while Mai. Green of Ocala
Comrade Munson of Sanford. Commander
Fox Of Palatka and Comrade Morrison OF
Maitland are after postoffices.
Comrade Welsh of Ocaia wants to go tc
Cuba, and Comrade Packwood of Maitland
is on a still hunt. Gen. De Lacey Of Key
West is already provided for, as are a few
other lucky veterans. But there are many
who feel that the "old soldiers. should
have preference in subordinate appoint
ments and they hope for some of the
crumbs from the tables of the lucl1iei
comrades. The action of Secretary Gage
in restoring several old soldiers to theil
former places has inspired the hope
among Grand Army men everywhere thai
the present administration is to be very
friendly to thier interests.

Car Service Needed.
Thomasville. Ca, April 9.-The new
fountain in the court house square has
been named the Mitchell fountain, which
inscription it bears in large letters around
it's base. This is in honor of T. c. Mitch
ell, who built the Mitchell house, as an
evidence of his faith in Thomasville,
while yet it had few people, who believed
in it's proud future. Mr.. Mitchell has
always been ready to advance every good
cause and he has now the confidence and
esteem of his fellow townsmen in a pre-
eminent degree.
Lieut.. j. e. McCants of the Thomasvilie
Guards. has resigned on account of his
going on the road for a shoe house.
Townsville needs badly a through
sleeper service to the north. Five gem
tlemen have chartered special trains to
get away from here this season with their
families and servants.

Circus Men Looked Upon the killing
as Cold BIOOded Murder.
Macon, Ga, April "A letter from the
wife of L. w. Halstead received to-day
states that she has not sufficient money
to defray the expenses of shipping his re
mains to Atlanta. Friends sent the body
to Charleston this afternoon for interment
Mrs. Halstead is at that place.
Reid is still in Jail. There is talk of ar
resting his wife and bennington, who are
said to be accessories. No warrants have
been sworn out for them, however
No money was found on Halstead's
body, a gold watch being his only valua-
bic in possession. At the time of the trag-
edy. 1t Is said, some of the circus en-
ployes showed feeling against Reid, say
ing it was cold-blooded murder, and that
Halstead was not guilty of the conduct at
tributed to him, but was simply asking
those who passed out, as is the custom of
circus "spielers," "How did you like the
circus?" ''Will you be back to-night?"
"Will we see you out tomorrow" etc.
They made no hostile demonstration,
however further than to express them
selves rather warmly.
Application will be made tomorrow for
bail, when sensational developments are
expected

RUSSELL SAGE PAYS a CLAIM.
The Chattanooga Southern Road NOT
to He ResOId.

Atlanta, Ga, April 9.-The Chattanooga
Southern railroad will not be resold on ac-
count of the failure of the reorganization
committee to pay the $4,000 judgment in
favor of Garter & Rogan the contractors
who were awarded that amount recently
by the circuit court. When the money was
not forthcoming in the time prescribed,
the contractors applied for an order to
have the road re-sold, and Judge Newman
in the United States court was to have
passed an order in the case to-day.
To avoid the resale, the committee de-
cided to pay up, and a check for the
amount, signed by the famous fnancier,
Russell Sage, was handed over TO the
court to-day.
Contractor Carter, however. will not get
hold OF his share OF the fund yet awhile.
as Il will be held in the custody OF the
court on application Of his wife who has
begun suit against him for alimony, alleg-
ing that he deserted her and made no pro-
vision for her support.

Keep to the Right.

Editor Morning NewsZ The ordinance
proposed by Alderman Guckenheimer and
adopted by council in regard to vehicles
going to the right is certainly a move
in the right direction. 1 have lived In
number of cities and Savannah is the first
city l have ever lived in where people
driving or riding could take either hand
Much damage and harm will now be
avoided. This method of having a GER
tain side to drive on is as old as the coun-
try. In some cities the left-hand is use0
and this reminds me of a paradox which
l learned when young, but which l have
never seen in print. They drive to the
left in New England
1.-THE road in New England is a paradox

For driving your carriage along,
If you go to the left, you're sure to go
right;
And if you go to the right you go

AUGUSTA AND suMMERyTLLE SOLD.
Thomas and Ryan to DO the Trans
fer Business of Augusta

Augusta, Ga, April 9.-The Augusta and
Summerville road, one of the parties in
the recent litigation for the control Of
the streets of Augusta, was to-day reor-
ganlzed by the election of Attorney Henry
Crawford as president, and w. A. c.
Even, vice president of the c. & w. c.
railroad, as vice president. The control
in the company was purchased by Attor-
ney Crawford for Thomas and Ryan, and
the reorganization to-day follows the pur-
chase The city recently entered into a
contract with the railroads entering the
city to do the transfer business. As the
c. & W. c. is building terminal railway
along the river bank and Thomas and
Ryan, who own it, have now purchased
the plant of the Augusta and Summerville
railroad, 1t is probable that they intend
to make a sub-contract with the other
roads for carrying out their joint contract
with the city.
