THIEF AND DRUNKARD TOO.

Thomas Hines Held by the Police
Under Two Charges.
Thomas Hines, a well-known character
around the city, was arrested by Police
man Beerman yesterday and an investiga-
ton at the police barracks proved him to
be the man who had stolen Mr.. Jacob
Gazan's overcoat from his law office on
Bay street.
Hines was arrested for drunkenness. He
was found asleep in the street. When he
was bundled UP in readiness for the patrol.
the policeman noticed d small buckle
which had evidently dropped from Hines
pockets. The buckle was reported in with
the other things belonging to Hines 1t
was noticed that Mr.. Gazan's name ap-
peared on it, and this in addition to the
report that an overcoat had been stolen,
gave rise to the suspicion that Hines
might know something of it, A tour of
the pawn shops was made and the de-
tectives found that Hines had pawned the
coat under a.nctitious name. 1t was taken
in charge and turned over to the owner.
Hines will have to answer before the re-
corder this morning, not only for drunk
enness, but for taking the coat as we'll

WORKING ON THE EVIDENCE.
Officers of the Court Martial win
Have to Pay Their Expenses Here.


Col. J. w. Clous, deputy judge advocate
general, and Capt. Charles Mcclure began
their work yesterday by preparing their
case, preliminary to the court martial pro-
ceedings, which begin next Wednesday
They were engaged during the day in the
United States engineers office examining
records and those who viii appear as Wit
nesses in behalf of the government.
Capt Gillette was asked if he would
take part in the prosecution of the case
against Capt Carter, as he had done be-
fore the board of inquiry. He replied that
he would appear as a witness, and that
under instructions from the war depaN
ment, he would assist Col. C.ous in prepar-
ing the evidence. Before the court how
ever. the case will be conducted entirely
by Col. Clous
An interesting feature of the court mar
tial is that the thirteen officers who will
sit as judges will have to pay their own
expenses here. Besides there railroad tick
cts, they are allowed mileage of cents
and sleeping car fare, but they will have
to pay their own hotel bills while in the
city. This is in accordance with
the army regulati9es. When en-
officer comes from long
distance he has sufficient from his mile
age to pay his hotel bill in part, but when
he comes from a nearby station and has
to remain for some time the expenses 1un
UP, and it is not so pleasant for him to
have to pay them out of his own pocket
Such is the rule, however, and the officers
will pay their own expenses in the city.
Some of those who VIII sit with the court
comes from western stations. Their
mileage, therefore, will amount
to a considerable sum, and will no doubt
so a good way toward paying expenses
here Others will travel only short dis
tances. and not be so fortunate.
The two orderlies who will come down
from Atlanta will attend upon the court
Just what their duties will be is not
known, but it is supposed they will wal;
upon the officers of The court, and incl
dentally will be in the court room to see
| that order is preserved.

COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Military Interstate Association Loses
Rig Subscription.

Big subscription.
Judge T. NJ. Norwood passed upon a
question yesterday involving the matter
of the responsibility of a corporation for
the act of its agent
The Military Interstate Association OF
Savannah, which gave the military gala
week in Savannah two years ago, brought
suit against the Savannah, Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Railroad Company for
$500, an amount pledged by Mr.. ]. N. Har-
riman, director, as the subscription of
mat company.
When the collections were made the pay
ment of the amount was refused, and the
association brought suit through its at
torney, Mr. Robert NJ. Hitch. To the pc
tition Of the association, Mr.. Pope Bar
row, representing the company, fled a de-
murrer on the ground that Mr.. Hartman
had exceeded his authority as a director.
and, therefore, the company was not re-
sponsible for his act in promising the sub
scriDtion.
The demurrer was argued at some
length by Mr.. Barrow and Mr.. Hitch
along the line stated, and at the conclu-
sion of the discussion, Judge Norwood rem
dered decision sustaining Mr.. Barrow
position This ends the proceedings. I'M
less there should be an appeal from Judge
Norwood's decision by the associat ton.

TURKEY HEADS As TARGETS.
Rifle Association to Have Live
Turkey shoot on Saturday.


The Savannah Rifle Association is send
Ing out notices of its usual annual con-
test for turkeys on New Years day, which
will take place at the Avondale range.
1t is expected that there will be an I'M
usually large attendance this year. A new
and interesting feature will be introduced
In the shape of a live turkey shoot, in
which the contestants will try their luck
with a live turkeys head as the target.
As a rule the contests have been alto
gether upon the ranges, turkeys being
awarded to the successful members in
each class.
The target contest will take place as
usual this year. The members of the as
sociatlon viii be divided into five or six
classes, according to the number of them,
and the regular target contest for tur-
keys will be participated in, dressed tur-
keys being the prizes awarded the win
ners.
After this feature has been disposed of
the new and interesting contest will take
place. President f. A. Cuts of the asso-
citation has presented the members with
number of live turkeys, which will be
boxed and arrange in a trench about 100
yards from where the maTksmen win
stand. The turkeys will be so arranged
that they can just poke their heads above
the top of the trench which they will be
induced to do by tempting grains of corn
placed just within their reach. These tur-
key heads will be the stargets for the
marksmen. Each marksman, it is pre-
sumed, Will have five shots at the live
turkey, and if anyone of those shots
strikes the turkeys head so as to draw
blood or kills him, the marksman making
that shot can claim possession of the tur-
key. As a rule a turkeys head bebs quite
rapidly when he is picking up corn, espec-
tally If the turkey is hungry; so even at
100 yards the task the rifiemen have be
fore them is not such an easy one.
The majority of the members who will
attend the shoot on Saturday will take
the car leaving Bolton street at 11:30
o'clock in the morning. as the shooting
will begin at u o'clock. The members win
decide upon the arrangements for shooting
at the live turkeys on the cars going out.
A committee, composed of Messrs. w. d.
bearing and George A. Mercer Jr, has
charge of the arrangements, especially for
the lunch, which will include an oyster
roast, sandwiches and beer. A good time
is promised all of the members who at
tend, and the indications are that the at
tendance will be a large one

MIGHT LIKE CHICkAMAUGA.
Talk of Sending the Troops There
for the Next Encampment.

for the Next Encampment.
The announcement in yesterdays Morn
ing News that there was a probability of
all the state troops being ordered to
Chickamauga for encampment this year,
was the first the Savannah military had
heard of what is now on foot in that
direction. 1t does not seem as yet that
the advisory board has been brought into
the matter, and so far as is known. the
project is being considered altogether be-
tween the governor and the adjutant gem
eral.
1t Is the Savannah Volunteer Guards
turn to so to camp this year, that is pro-
vided the recently adopted rule is adhered
TO- which requires that the different com
mands take turns in going to camp, one
going one year and another the next. Cor.
William Garrard was asked, therefore, for
his views on the subject.
Il nave heard nothing whatever of the
matter" he said, except what I have
seen in the Morning News. 1t makes lit
tie difference TO the troops, however,
where the encampment is held. We are
ready to go wherever they order us. That
matter is altogether with the governor.
and wherever he orders us, we will go.
But what viii be done with regard to the
matter l do not know"
The dispatch to the Morning News indi-
Gated that all of the state
troops are to be sent to
camp al Chickamauga for a week al
the usual time next summer, and that the
course of duty will be somewhat differ
ent from that at Camp Northen for sew
eral summers past In other
words. the troops are to do
regular field duty from day to day
in accordance with plans of the com
manding officers, of which the troops will
be in ignorance until the moment the or
ders are 10 be executed, this all being
predicated upon the suppostion that the
proposed plan win be adopted.
1t is not unlikely that the troops will
look with favor upon such a plan, though
they have had little opportunity of dis
cussing the matter. OF recent years the
military has gotten entirely rid of the
idea that an encampment means a week
of fun and sport, and has discovered that
it means a week of hard work and plenty
of it. Doubtless therefore, they win be
glad of the change for one season at least
from Camp NoTthen to Chickamauga

TROPHY HELD FOR CHARGES.
II Was Held Up by the Adams Ex-
nress COmnanN.


The Hilton trophy has been found. The
express company employees at Washing
ton routed the valuable shield of bronze
out from the midst of the stuff in the Of
fee. and il is now in Atlanta.
Capt Oscar J. Brown, assistant adju-
tant general of the state troops. telegraph
Cd the military men at Washington two
or three times to try TO locate the trophy.
Word has been sent out that it had been
shipped 10 Atlanta Dec. IS, but 1t was not
received until yesterday In response to
Capt Browns inquiry a telegram was re-
ceived at Atlanta that the trophy had
been sent, Notwithstanding the statements
made of its not having reached there.
The trophy remained at the Office Of the
Adams Express Company at Washington
for nearly ten days. waiting for someone
to pay the charges on it. The charges were
to be paid or some order was to be receiv-
ed from those in authority for It's free
transportation before the trophy was to
be sent on. When Capt Brown learned
of this state of affairs. he at once wired
TO Washington for the trophy to be sent
on c, O. d. II reached Atlanta in the al
ternoOn on the vestibule train.
1t IS said the trophy is not yet to come
on to the Savannah team by which II was
won last year al Sea Girt with the hign-
est score that's has ever been made in the
competition for it, The story comes from
Atlanta that il will be delivered to the
offices Of the adjutant general, to which 1t
was consigned by the express company
this morning, and that it will be kepc
there as a sort Of token of the skill OF
the rihemen Of Savannah. After all those
who care TO DO so have Toasted their eyes
upon the trophy it will be sent on to this
city. The captain of the team, Capt w.
W. Williamson, viii receive it and the
winners Of the prize may take look at it,
None of the Savannah officers interested
in the trophy have ever charged that the
officers of the District of Columbia Ma
tiOnal Guard, whose team held the trophy
last year, were keeping it merely through
the desire to swing on to # a while longer
than they were really entitled to have it.
Several have not hesitated TO say that
The Washington people were very dilatory
in their actions. The trophy should have
been received at least three months ago.
About two months ago some of the MEM
bers of the team began to grow a little
anxious about the trophy. and inquiries
were directed to Washington about it.
a dispatch comes from the Morning
News correspondent at Washington to the
effect that Gen. Harries, i'm command of
the militia of the District of Columbia, is
indignant over the reports that have
reached Washington from Georgia. He
that these reports reflect upon
the militia of The aDital
Everything in those statements that
that we are holding the Hilton
trophy is asinine" he said. "Of course,
there is no truth in the suggestion that we
desire to hold on 10 the trophy even tenn
Dorarily. What good would it do us to
hold on to something that did not in any
sense belong to us? 1t is absurd"

TO OPEN MORE STREETS.
To Use Ground Rent Purchase Money
For That Purpose.

To Use Ground Rent Purchase Money
For That Purpose.
A resolution offered by Alderman Krous-
koff and adopted by the city council at
the meeting last night is self explanatory.
The city wants to bring the territory in
eluded in the act of 1854 under taxation,
and to secure the money needed for this
purpose, it is willing to make liberal con-
cessions to the ground rent lot owners to
induce them to pay up
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, The opening of streets in the
extended limits of the city of Savannah
and in territory in the southeastern portion
of the city brought in by the act of 1851,
is a matter of immediate and urgent i'm
portance, required not only as a matter
of justice to the residents of these sec
TONS but in the interest of the city and
the increase of its taxable values, and this
opening demands an expenditure of money
largely in excess or that which can be
allowed by the tax budget.
Therefore, in order to realize funds for
this purpose, il is
Resolved, That all holders OF lots in the
city of Savannah, commonly known as
ground rent lots, held under
foe simple conditional titles, who
will pay at any time within nine
ty days from the adoption of this reso-
luton. the balance of purchase money due
on said lots and make their titles fee SIM
pie absolute, shall be allowed a discount
Of q per cent.
And resolved. further, That the money
realized by a compliance on the part Of
the holders of these lots with the proposi-
ton contained in this resolution shall he
held and used by the city of Savannah ex-
clusively for the purpose of opening
streets.
