TRAMP From savannah North.

Tramp From savannah North.
The death of william f. Hoey, known
to every theater-goer as "Old Hoss,"
which was announced I'm the Morning
News a day or two ago, recalls the fact
that the nickname by which he was IA
military known was acquired through an
unsuccessful engagement which he played
In Savannah some time In the 70s Hoey
failed to get square with the manager and
started without money to tramp back
north. II was while making this trip that
his keen sense Of humor enabled him TO
appreciate the comical side OF the exist
ence Of a tramp. He conceived the char
acter OF "OlG Hoss" and determined to
utilize the character OF the tramp In his
future efforts on the stage. The name
stuck TO him through his life
Hoey had been before the public for over
twenty years, He was born In New York
In 1854 and began as an actor when only
Is years OF age. He appeared as a COM
edian In the early seventies az Tony Pas
tors old theater on the Bowery. taking
the part OF a Musical Coon. His antics
were ineNpressibly funny. and his solos
on a cowhorn and cowbols became a fea-
ture OF the performance.
Early IN his career he sprang into popu-
lar favor, and was much sought after by
the vaudeville managers His natural re-
sources and his humorous pranks gave
him o hold on the patrons OF variety the
aters that carried him all through life

A meeting of the directors of the Ea-
tonton Branch railroad was held this
week and a new board was chosen, the
old directors resigning and new members
being selected to take their places.
The following compose the new
directors of the company: II. NJ

NJ. Cunningham, Jr, H. w. John

was chosen president.
The old directors were all citizens of Sa-

lions. The old directory represented the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic railway,
which had purchased the Eatonton

chased the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
railway. secured the Eatonton Branch

The change of directors was a matter

BUSY DAY FOR THE RECORDER.
Upwards of Seventy-Five Cases to Be
Heard To-day.

Recorder Hartridge will hold another
lengthy session of police court this morn
ing. Up to noon yesterday there were six
ty-six cases on the information docket
in addition to the days work of the po-
lice, which will bring the total to at least
seventy-five cases. OF the sixty-six cases
mentioned, only twenty-six are against
dog owners who have failed to take out
badges, or who have been reported as
having failed to do so. The probability is
that by this time half this number have
taken out badges and those of the other
half, who show up in court. will vow that
they own no dogs. The dog cases will be
quickly disposed of.
OF more importance and more interest
generally are the twenty-five cases
against bicyclists charged with violating
the road ordinances. OF the bicyclists
several are charged with riding on the
Bull and Hall street walks of the park
extension, in contempt of the ordinance
recently adopted by council, forbidding
the use of these walks by bicyclists
Others are charged with riding on the
north side of Liberty street and Ogle-
thorpe avenue when they should have
taken the south side, or vice versa. Other
bicyclists are charged with riding at night
without lights.
The police have developed remarkable
vigilance of late in the enforcement of the
ASeNN CANiiidANNoi uuG BcIudDS 10 lne at
tention of the commission having been
called to the necessity for such enforce
ment by Mayor MeIdrim, though 1t is not
known that this is the case. Anyway
several policemen have been specially de-
tailed TO keep watch upon the bicyclists
and this they are doing very faithfully.
Policemen Meldrim, Murphy and Collins
will appear as witnesses in the majority
OF the cases against bicyclsts. Some we'll
known citizens are among the number on
the list.

TO TACKLE VALDOsTA TODAY.
savannah's C. L. AS VIII Meet the
WireGrass Men.

Wiregrnss Men.
The Catholic Library Association base
ball team will try conclusions with VAL
dosta at c. L. A. park this afternoon. The
Valdosta team arrived last night and is
made up of fine-looking lot of fellows.
They are by no means strangers to the
fans. Six of the men who will play with
the wiregrass team to-day are well known
here, while three of them are Savannah
boys.
Commit and Ballantyne will be the bat
terry and they expect to hold the Savau-
nah team down to but few hits. Conniff
made the wonderful record of twenty
three strike-outs in game with Thomas
Vile the other day. Ballantyne is catch
ing in fine form Harper viii play second
and "Reb" Clements, a well known Sa-
vannah boy, will cover short stop. Short
and Nally, the crack battery, which play
ed with the University OF Georgia and
also with Augusta, is the change battery
When not pitching Short plays third base
and Nally plays FIRST when not behind
the bat. Short and Nally will be the bat
terry in Saturdays game.
Hopkins and Jarvis will do the battery
work for Savannah. and this is enough to
say that it will be done well. Hipkins
has been unfortunate In losing both of
his games with Augusta-through no fault
of his, though-and he intends TO take re-
venge out of the Valdosta team. Ed
Brady will not play, as he wants TO save
his finger so that 1t will be all right for
Mondays game. Bailey Hopkins will look
after second. OByrne will play right
field.
The game will not be called until 4
O'Clock. This is a very good move as II
will enable many who are not able 10 get
off early In the afternoon to attend the
game. Ladies will be admitted TO the
park free.

BLACKS BEAT THE REDS.
A Closely Played Game From start to
Finish.

Finish.
In spite Of the warm weather many
were out to see the game of indoor base
ball, at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, between the Reds and Blacks last
night. Those who were present were re-
warded by seeing a closely contested
game.
The first part belonged to the Reds, but
i'll the sixth inning the Blacks piled up
three runs, tieing the game. In the ninth
inning, with the score 8 to 8, the Reds,
when they came to the bat, failed to score,
but when the Blacks took their turn they
soon made the necessary run to win.
Several of the players put up a fine game;
noticeably was the playing of Buckner and
Hohenstein. Smith pitched a strong
game.
The audience was a very enthusiastic
one, especially in the ninth inning when
the score was close.
The last ladies' evening will be held next
Thursday night when the Backs will cross
bats with the Fellows.
The score Is as follows:

SAVANNAH YAoHTMEN WILL GO.
Invitation From the Carolina Yacht
Club, of Charleston, to Its Regatta.

Club, of Charleston, to Its Regatta.
An invitation from the Carolina Yacht
I Club OF Charleston to the Savannah Yacht
Club for the flag officers and members to
be its guests July on the occasion OF the
annual regatta Of the Carolina Yacht Club
was received by Secretary w. II. Crane
yesterday.
The letter from the Charleston club was
signed by Mr.. S. o. Izlar, secretary who
states that 1t Is hoped by the members Of
the Carolina Club that the Savannahians
will send over a large delegation to the
annual races to be given In the harbor of
the City by the Sea. The prizes offered by
the Carolina club are as follows: Glass
"a" first prize. $50; class a. second
prize, $25; class "B,' first prize, $50; class
"B," second prize, SIS.
1t Is quite probable that several yachts
from Savannah will go over to Charleston.
1t will be remembered that Commodore
Simonds of the Carolina Yacht Club was
the guest of Capt. Strachan while he was
in Savannah attending the Savannah
Yacht Clubs regatta, and 1t is probable
that Capt. Strachan will be in Charleston
with his yacht, the Siren. There will no
doubt, be a number of the Savannah
yachtsmen who will be in Charleston on
this occasion, although they may not take
their yachts with them.
The interest is running high among the
Charleston yachtsmen over the races that
are 10 come off on the 8th. A champion
ship cup has been offered as a prize TO
the winner Of the schooner yacht race.
Maj. wilkins, who owns the Triton, will
probably be in Charleston the day Of the
regatta with his handsome yacht. He is
a member Of the Carolina club and the
Savannah Yacht Club as well, and usually
attends both regattas during the season.
Maj. Wilkins was here a few days ago,
and went for a maroon along the Geor-
gia coast 1t is not known definitely
where he is at present, but members of
the Savannah Yacht Club are OF the opln-
ion that he will be at the Charleston
races.

MAY sTOP THE MILITARY FUND.
Aldermen Not Wholly In Favor of
Continuing It,

aiuermen NOT wholly In Favor of
Continuing 1t.
The Introduction in council of an ordi-
nance to repeal the ordinance appropriate
ing $3.50 10 the police reserve fund to be
divided between the eleven white military
companies mentioned in the ordinance has
caused some alarm among military men.
1t Is likely that some missionary work
will be done with the members of the
board before the next meeting.
The total sum appropriated is not large,
but even the small amount of $3.50 receiv-
ed by each, company is a great help de-
pendent as the companies are entirely
upon the members for the support and
maintenance of these commands. Not
only the cost of uniforms, but all the ex-
pense OF keeping up a command has been
paid heretofore by the members.
Atlanta said an officer of one of the
military companies yesterday, gives $500
q year to each military company in the
city. In addition, the Atlanta Artillery
has an armory in the basement of the
capitol. And vet we say that Atlanta is
not a military town"
1t is question whether Alderman
Wells ordinance to include the two com
pahles OF the naval reserve in the next
semi-annual disbursement Of the appro-
priation or Alderman Smiths ordinance
10 repeal the appropriation altogether will
be adopted. BY repeating the appropria-
ton the city will save the munihcent sum
OF N5l0, the first semi-annual installments
having been already drawn by the bene-
nciaries named in the ordinance. With
the two companies Of the naval reserve in
cluded in the distribution the second semi
annual installment drawn ~ each com
pany will be SlO5.77

FIRE CHEF INVESTIGATION.
How the AldermHnic Committee VIII
Go at Its Work.

The Investigation OF Fire Chief Mcguire
by the investigating committee of council.
acting under instructions of council at its
last meeting, will probably be held next
week.
II is little difficult TO see how the COM
mittee will get at the proof of the fitness
or unhtness Of thu fire chief for his posi-
ton, this being mere matter of opinlon
and there being many people with decid-
edly different opinions on this much moot
ed subject.
The committee will probably request all
who have charges TO present against the
chief OF any character to do so and Chief
Mcguire will be called upon to rebut these
charges.
Chairman Grayson OF the FIRE commits
sion said yesterday that n the Investigate
ing committee could prove TO his satisfac-
ton that Mcguire was incompetent he
would be ready to vote for his removal
and the selection Of another chief IN his
place. Mr. Grayson said that he Is op.
posed TO the idea Of going outside OF sa.

Gloin. The proposition SO dazed him
that he lost his breath. "Up that mast, "
reiterated the captain, "and find out
what's the matter at the foretop."
Captain" said McGloin, in n last de-

that you want me to go up that mast
in this storm, with the ship going this
