TRIAL TRIP OF THE CAPTAINS GIG.
4 Naval Militia Picked Crew Manned
the Boat.

A crew of the naval militia gave the new
captains gig her maiden trip in Savannah
waters yesterday afternoon. The boat
was brought down during the forenoon
from the Ocean Steamship Companys
wharf and was left on the Hutchinson Is
land side of the river, opposite the market
dock
\ dozen or more of the men, with sever
al of the officers. were down to see how the
boat behaved on her first trip. They reach
ed the dock about 4:3o o'clock, and the gig,
which had been brought across by two OF
the men, was showed off.
on board the boat were Lieut.. II. S.
Colding, Gunner's Mate Torley, Boat
SWANS Mate Mscaly. Gunner's Mate
Craig. Gunner's Mate Spring, Seamen VII
Hams, burden, Robbins, Aaron, Cava-
naugh Roberts and Frierson. Gunner's
Mate Craig acted as a coxswain. The men
were from both the second and third divis-
ions.
The gig is fitted upito pun twelve oars,
but those that came with her from the
yards at New York are twelve feet In
length making 1t impossible for that num-
Der to be pulled. The oars cannot be dou-
BILE banked on account of the beam OF the
boat being too narrow. Only one oarsman
can occupy a seat as to put two on one
would cause Interference. Lieut.. Colding
intends putting in a requisition for oars of
lesser weight and length. The twelve foot
oars are too heavy to be readily handled.
The first run of the gig was down the
river, the boat house at the foot of East
Broad street which is to be put in repair
for the accommodation of the gig, being
visited. The officers and men were delight
ed with the behavior of the gig, and found
it no trouble at all to send it spinning
through the water at considerable speed.
The boat is painted white and has a line
of brown, which is the walnut finishing,
running around the gunwale The white
paint became discolored in transit down
from New York. but this will be corrected
by a new coat, and the boat will then look
as well as the day il was turned out for
the Newark the cruiser from which she
was taken before being put In the yards at
New York The length of the boat is
twenty-eight feet, and the beam is six
feet. The militia win not have to rely al
together on their oars for motive power
two masts, with sails and rigging. came
with the boat
The crew was not well skilled In the boat
drill, but this will be overcome after a few
practice trips. The members of the militia
expect to have many pleasant trips in the
gig. A number of them have expressed
themselves as being better pleased at hav-
ing the boat than one of the old vessels
of the navy for training purposes.

TELEPHONE OPPOSITION AT WORK
The savannah Company's Contract
Ors Here.

Mr.. Wallace W. Thomas of Thomas &
Hunter. telephone contractors, of Rich
mond, Va, is in the city. Mr.. Thomas
is here in the interest of the Savannah
Telephone Company. He comes to Savan-
nah from Charleston, where his firm has
just completed a new telephone exchange
for the opposition to the Bell company. He
is interested in the Savannah company,
having already done some work in it's be-
half, and hopes TO begin. work on the new
exchange here at an early date
I'VE have just completed a new ex-
change in Charleston with 500 telephones"
said Mr.. Thomas last night, after a Ions,
hard fight with the Bell people, in which
we whipped them on every point. Oppo-
sition exchanges have been established in
nearly every city in the south, and, in
fact, nearly everywhere in the country.
On the route between Savannah and New
York there are only two cities where op
position exchanges to the Bell company
have not been established, Washington ana
Raleigh. Richmond and Norfolk both
have large and prosperous exchanges, and
the new companies in Augusta and Jack
sonvlle are both doing finely. The Bell
company has only walked up in the last
twelve months to the fact that the oppo-
sition is proving very formidable. With
big cities like Philadelphia and st. Louis
putting in opposition exchanges, the Bell
people begin to realize that the fight they
have on hand is no childs play"
Il shall begin active work here now
said Mr.. Thomas, with a view to gettins
the new company in such shape that we
can put In the plant at an early date.
All l have to say on this point is that
we have never started work yet in a city
that we did not succeed In putting in
an exchange. 1 have some people up
north who are willing to put in a good
part of the money needed, but the com.
pany has been organized with the idea
that it shall be controlled by local capital,
and we shall work on that line for tbs
present"

a sAvANxAHIAN IN CHATTANOOGA.
Capt. ID. L. GOuIding's work There.
The New Auditorium.
One of the leasing and energetic men

One of the leasing and energetic men Of
Chattanooga, Tenn, is Capt. B. L. Gould
ing, secretary of the chamber Of com
merce. Mr.. Goulding Is a son of the late
Rev. Francis R. Goulding, author of THE
Young Marooners," and the acknowledged
inventor of the sewing machine, which
he did not patent, or try to introduce into
public use, because Of the chivalric idea
that 1t would take away from sewing
women their means of earning a liveli-
hood
Rev. Mr.. Goulding was at one time con-
nected with the old Daily Georgian of this
city. The younger Mr.. Goulding Of Chat
tanooga was a member Of the Republican
Blues in the early days of the civil war.
These Incidents very naturally make him
TO some extent a Savannahian. and to that
extent Savannah, where he has many rel
atives, is interested in what he is doing.
Just now he is engaged in making the
chamber of commerce at home in its new
quarters in the Chattanooga Auditorium,
building recently erected by the city of
Chattanooga for the accommodation of the
large conventions which meet from time
to time and go where they are invited and
where they can be accommodated. The
pie. 1t is a substantial brick structure,
wNh handsome brick and stone front ana
an iron roof. 1t was built at a cost of
2l 600. How such an edifice could have
been built for such a small sum is some
thing that one who is accustomed to the
cost of building in other cities cannot COM
prehend. In the room of the chamber of
commerce Capt. Goulding is making a col
lection of the mineral and agricultural
products of the country and Chattanooga,
which will be a perpetual and convincing
advertisement to all who visit the city,
and to the thousands who will gather
from time to time from all sections of the
country in the auditorium.
The example of Chattanooga could be
followed with advantage by Savannah in
erecting an auditorium or large public
hall, whereby large gatherings could be
held in this city. Augusta and Atlanta
are making efforts to erect buildings SIM
liar to that in Chattanooga.
There has been talk time and again of
such building here and Two or three years
ago an effort was made toward It's cree
ton. Several sites were discussed and
there was found to be little difficulty in
securing a site upon satisfactory terms
The effort toward the building was made
at the time of the jubilee concerts, when
the value of an auditorium was seen. The
plan so far as it was considered was to
erect just about such a building as Chat
tanooga hasy'an as other cities are about
to have.

qFALL TRADES OUTLOOK.
Retail Merchants Preparing For a
Late Rush.

Late Rush.
The retail merchants say that the fail
and winter trade is slow in opening.
Usually at this time of the season they
are enjoying a good run OF custom. This
season however, the summer dullness has
run far into the fall Within the past
month there have been several days of
comparative rush. One of these was dur
ing the cold snap. The low thermometer
was then taken as a harbinger of winter,
and the purchase of winter goods followed
to slight extent.
During the recent days of continual rain,
the merchants had good trade in
goods that were sold as projections
against the weather
There is no depression apparent, not
outstanding the way the trade IS holding
back. The merchants are fully aware that
it will come, that ii is only a question of
time, and that, when it does come, it will
be only a matter of the expected trading
being done IN a shorter length of time.
one class of retail merchants that has
not suffered is the grocers. Many people
have been returning from summer trips,
aud they have consequently been more
mouths to feed. Wholesale firms report
that they have sold largely of late to the
retail grocers.
The only thing now damaging to the
trade, is the low price of cotton. All of the
jobbers and many Of the retail
merchants, who have customers who come
from the surrounding country to make
their purchases, say the rural trade is
poor and that there seems but little
chance for its hetterment. They think
the price of cotton is wholly responsible
for this. Collections in the country have
fallen off since cotton took its tumble.
Some wholesale firms report very large
fall trade A member of one of the larg-
est firms in the city said yesterday that,
if their business continues until next July
as it has been for the last three months.
it will exceed that of last year by $3.50 600.
He ascribed the increase to the fact of
many orders having been placed i'm antici-
patton Of cotton bringing a good price.
This was done when the farmer had good
crops in sight and the outlook was very
bright The yellow fever in the infected
districts has also tended to enlarge the
territory of Savannah. Many orders have
been received from localities that former
~ traded with Mobile, Montgomery ana
New Orleans.

BATTERED DOWN THE DOOR.
Sailors Stormed a House With Disns-
trous Results.

Capt. cambridge. of the steamship Vero-
ma, called at the police barracks yesterday
and made inquiry for one of the sailors of
the vessel, who had been missing since
Monday. He learned that the sailor for
whom he was looking, John Mcnamara.
an Englishman, had been arrested and
committed to Jail to serve fifteen days.
In company with another sailor named
McGinn, the two left the vessel Monday
night, telling their fellows that they We're
going out for a lark. They soon became
intoxicated, and later, went into portion
of the city which bears an unsaYory rep
utation. They caught the eye or friend
in a house, and at once sought adfnlttance.
This was refused, and McGinn and McNa-
mara at once proceeded to batter down the
door.
The police were called and placed the
men under arrest. The recorder afterward
fined them $40, or to serve ten days in
jail. Not having the funds, they were
committed. Capt. cambridge was looking
them up, for the reason that the Verona
will soon leave port and he did not wish to
leave the men. He decided not to take
them out just yet, but will do so later on.

TOO MUCH MONEY FOR HIM.
S37 n TemtatiOn That Albert Cheese
Couldn't Resist.


Albert Cheese. a negro lad II years old,
was arrested yesterday by Detectives Bar
Tett and Shea on the charge of having
stolen $S7 Is from Sam Bernstein, a store
keeper at No 20S Broughton street, west.
The boy was tried by the recorder and
bound over to the city court.
The case is only another of the numer-
Gus instances of misplaced confidence by
which so many people have lately been
duped. The lad had been in the employ
of the proprietor for about four days, be-
ing used as a sort of utility hand The
proprietor wanted a money order for S37
and turned the cash over to the boy to so
TO the postoffce and attend to the bust
ness. When it was time for the lad to
return he was not to be seen, and his con-
tinued delay in returning gave rise to the
suspicion that he did not intend to show
up again. The matter was reported to
the police and the detectives took the
case in hand.
After some time spent In searching
about the city, Cheese was located in a
store on market square He had just pur-
chased a 81 pair of shoes and when search
ed was found 10 have $685. of the stolen
money upon his person. The boy was
taken to the barracks, where the pro-
prietor was sent for, and the recovered
money returned to him.

TO DO IT'S OWN FUMIGATING.
The Plant System Allowed That
Privilege By the City.

privilege BY the City.
A special meeting of the sanitary board
was held yesterday to consider request
from the Plant system to be allowed to
disinfect freight coming over it's lines to
its chief surgeon as to disinfection accept
ed, as is now done with the certificates of
the marine hospital service.
The request was accompanied by a letter
from DR.. Frank H. Caldwell, chief sur
geon of the Plant system, stating the
methods to be pursued in the work of dis
infection, and showing that a thorough
equipment had been provided for this pur-
pose. The letter was received by Health
officer LeHardy, who referred the mat
ter to the mayor. The latter decided that
it would be best to call a meeting of the
sanitary board to pass upon the question
which was done.
After consideration by the board, the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That if DIR. Caldwell, chief
surgeon of the Plant system, will guaran-
tee that all fumigation of cars, freight and
baggage under his direction, shall be as
thoroughly and as perfectly done, and ex-
actly similar to that practiced by the
United States marine hospital service, due
regard being paid to the number of hours
such cars, freight and baggage shall re-
main SUBJECTED 10 the action OF tornado
hyde, then the board will accept the GER
tifcates of DIR. Caldwell upon the same
basis as that of the United States marine
hospital service"
The object of the Plant system in fumi-
eating Its own cars is to facilitate bust
ness there being only one or two points
on its line where the marine hospital ser
vice has agents. A thorough equipment
of formaldehyde lamps has been provided
for the work.
The extent to which quarantine is inter
fering with travel can be judged from
circular issued by the Central railroad
yesterday to it's agents, notifying them of
points to which tickets must not be sold.
The circular announces that service has
been discontinued on the line between
Troy and Searight, both in Alabama, and
that the sale of tickets to points south of
Troy must be discontinued. The agents
are notified that Birmingham has quar-
antined against Opelika, Ala. on account
of the number of fugitives who have come
into Opelika from Montgomery, and that
no passengers or baggage from Ope-
lika are allowed to enter Birmingham.
Columbia, Ala, it is announced, will allow
no passeng gers from any point to enter that
place, and the sale of tickets and the
checking of baggage to Columbia is order
ed discontinued. The circular states that
Albany has quarantined against all infect
ed points and that Charleston will allow
no persons or baggage from Montgomery
to enter.
If the fever should strike a few more
points some of the railroads might as well
go out of business until frost.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS CASE.
VIII De Argued Before Judge FaIIi-
giant To-day.

giant To-day.
This is the day set for the argument of
the prohibitory writ. heretofore granted
to restrain council from trying the fire
commissioners on the charges preferred
by special committee appointed for that
purpose.
The argument will be before Judge Falli-
CANT, at 10 o'clock. The point of law in
volved will be as to the jurisdiction of
council to try the commissioners. The mat
ter has been looked into very thoroughly
by the attorneys representing the parties
to the litigation, and the result will be
anticipated with much interest by most
everybody.
City Attorney Adams will appear for
council and Hon. F. G. duBignon. Messrs.
A. A. Lawrence and A. E. Way have been
retained by the fire commissioners. and
will appear for them. The points which il
is understood Mr. Adams will insist upon.
are, as stated, that council has the right
TO try the commissioners and that the
commission is not a corporation co-ordi-
nate with the city of Savannah, as claim
ed by the counsel for the commissioners.
The claims of the commissioners counsel
will, upon the other hand be that coun-
ell does not have the right to try them.
and that the commission is upon exactly
the same footing with council as a cor
porate body and cannot, therefore, be at
tackled by the aldermanic board. They
claim, ii is said, that the only way to at
tack them is by appealing to the fountain
head--the state Legislature.
