MAY CHALLENGE 7TH REGIMENT

1t Is Possible That Both the 7th and
23 rd Regiments of n. Y. May Come.
Capt William W. Williamson, who has
just returned from Sea Girt, where the Sa-
vannah rlhemen made such a grand scoop
Of prizes, says it is probable that the Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards will discuss the
ACCESSIBILITY of bringing down to Savan
nah on Thanksgiving day the team of the
Seventh Regiment of New York. It is
known that the Twenty-third Regiment
of New York has challenged the Savannah
rifemen for match and it is now being
arranged that the contest shall take place
on the Avondale range on Thanksgiving
day.
I'm the interview as printed by the
Morning News with me-" said Capt Will
hanson yesterday, Il was quoted as say
ing that the Twenty-third Regiment de-
ciined to shoot against but one
organization, and the Savannah
Volunteer Guards would be Sc
lected to represent Savannah. This
was slight mistake. The Twenty-thrd
challenged any team composed of mem
bers from the national guard of Savan-
nah, and the team win be selected from
those best qualified to shoot, regardless of
what organization to which they belong
What l did say was this-that l had
seen the inspector Of rife practice of the
Seventh Regiment of New York and urged
him to bring a team down also for the
shoot on Thanksgiving day He said in
reply that the Seventh Regiment had al
ways taken the stand never to shoot
against a team composed of more than
one organization Then l remarked that
the Guards would probably consider the
advsability of sending the Seventh Regi-
ment a challenge"
Thus, it may be seen, that there is a
probability of Savannah having teams
from both the Seventh Regiment and the
Twenty-thrd Regiment of New York in
this city on Thanksgiving day, in which
event a big shoot will result.

Dermott Chief McDermott has been con-
sidering such a step for long time past.
In fact, he mentioned this subject among
O. Their things, to the newspaper men, short
ly fter being elected chief and expressed
his IL. tention of bring ing about some such
organizA 'uon. Politi cal Discussions were
rife at the time, however, and for
fear that it might be charged that the or

poses, the mattsr wa indefinitely post

Recently the need Of such an organiza-
ton has been brought ft rcibly 10 mind by
the deaths of members OF the force, who
would have been eligible 20 membership in
such an organization and whose families
would have been greatly be nehtted by the
results of such membership. Inc ehiel

fees and dues are small, while the bene-
fits as a rule, are considerable. About 90
cents is the average monthly assessment.
1t would take some time to accumulate a
fund at this rate, but there would be
other sources of revenue. A ball in win.

haps a base ball game or some othel
means of entertainment, occasionally
would help to swell the fund. We would
not be able to pay a large death benefit at
first but with good management and low
death rate we would in time be able to fix
the death benefit at a neat sum, say $500,
or perhaps $1,000"

MONAHAN TO BE A POLICEMAN.
The Charges Against Policeman
Jernigan Dismissed.

|he Charges Against Policeman
Jernigan Dismissed.
John Monahan was appointed al mem
Der of the police force last night, subject
to the physical examination. Mo.Qtlhan
has been, until recently, one of DuddtAl &
Bates giants" and should he fail to lNass
the examination it would be a big SUI
prise.
She charges brought against Policeman
Jernigan by the members of the Armenian
colony were investigated by the commits
sion and dismissed. About a month ago
Jernigan, assisted by Policeman Collins,
broke up a row at Ameen Thomas store
at York and Montgomery streets, the
headquarters of the Armenian colony, and
rescued a negro, who was about to be
beaten to death. -Four of the negros as
sailants we're arrested and were find so
each by the recorder the next morning.
A meeting of the Armenian coll
ony is said to have been held
to consider the matter, and as a result
charges were brought against Policeman
Jernlgan Of taking the proprietor and
employees of the store without giving them
an opportunity to close up the place. Po-
liceman Jernigan's defense to this was
that as there seemed to be a score a ieast
of the Armenians on hand he saw no rea-
son why he should delay with his pris-
oners on the pretext that they wanted to
close up the store.
Mr. George w Beckett was engaged by
Ameen Thomas as attorney for himself
and compatriots. The commission, how
ever refused Mr.. Beeket's. request to be
allowed to be present at the hearing, it be-
ing against the policy of the commission
to allow legal representation TO either side
in these investigations of charges against
officers

Wac Clarke Wed.
MIR. Frank e. Morris and Miss Hattie
Mae Clarke were married last night at the
residence of the brides brother, Mr.. Fred
W. Clarke, No. 12O Taylor street west. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. A. NJ
Williams of Wesley Monumental church.
The marriage was very quiet affair, only
the members of the family of the bride
being present, together with one or two
relatives of the groom. The determination
of the young people to wed last night
was rather sudden, the announcement of
their intentions being made to their rela-
tives during the morning and the after
noon before.
The groom is well known, and is a
trusted and valued employee of the
Southern Express Company, to whose of
flee he came from Augusta four years
ago. The bride has a host of friends in
Savannah, who will join in bestowing
their congratulations. She is one of the
most beautiful of the young ladies of the
city, and the possession of many gr3ces
of mind and heart have won her the ad-
miration of all who have had the pleas
ure of knowing her. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
left last night for Augusta, the home of
&he groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
IA orris. From that city they will go to
Lookout Mountain for a stay of some
days and then they will spend a while at

in this, Dr. LeHardy stated, as all the
quarantine regulations had been complied
with. The port from which the vessel
sailed is only a suspected, not an infected
port, no yellow fever being reported there.
Dr.. LeHardy seemed TO think that the
boarding officer of the custom house had
been somewhat ohicious in making the
matter public. Capt. Laird, however,
states that the customs regulations were
violated in allowing passengers of vessels
from a foreign port to enter with their
baggage without the permission of the
customs authorities and the usual inspec-
ton.
The matter will be further investigated
he said, when the South African arrives in
port The captain of the Theckla was
liable to fine he said, for aiding persons
TO enter the country in this manner.
The captain of the South African was
anxious 10 go to New York to meet his
wife. The passengers were Mr.. j. G. |
Brown, an American engineer and his
wife. Naturally they did not wish to re-
main at quarantine any longer than they !

NEED DE NO APPREHENSION.
DIR. LeHardy Has No Fears of Yellow
Fever For savannah.

Health Officer LeHardy is very much
alive on the subject of quarantine and
health matters just now, The yellow fever.
which has recently appeared on the Gulf
coast. and the smallpox, which continues
to exist in Alabama and probably on the
western side of this state also, is keeping
him strictly on guard.
The sanitary board held its regular
meeting yesterday and these mat
ters were discussed at some length.
The people of Savannah need have no
fear of lack of vigilance on the
part Of the authorities in those matters,
and prompt action will be taken on the
nearer approach of either disease. DR..
LeHardy is ia touch with the health au-
thorities at New Orleans and other points
in the infected district, and is kept con-
stantly posted on the progress of the two
dread diseases. He received a telegram
yesterday from DR.. S. r. Oiphant, presi-
dent of the state board of health of Lou
fsiana, stating that so far there was only
one case of yellow fever in
the city, that from Ocean Springs
Miss, and that no spDead of the disease
was apprehended
There need be no apprehension on the
part of the people of Savannah" said
DR.. LeHardy to a Morning News reporter
yesterday. There is no indication of the
spread of yellow fever in this direction,
and l hardly think it lil.ely that 1t will
do So Proper precautions will be taken
at the first indication of anything of the
kind
DIR. LeHardy is more apprehen-
sive Of trouble from smallpox than
from yellow fever. He is preparing to
urge thorough vaccination as the best
prove ntive measure against the disease.
