PARADE OF THE POLICE.
sAvANNAH's FINEST TO TURN OUT
IN MARCHING ORDER.

The Parade to BE "a Feature of Next
Weeks Police, Sbcrihs' and Mar
shaIs' COnventiOn-The Programme
For the Convention COmpIete,-An
Excursion ON the River Wednes-
day and a Trip to Tybee Thursday.
The arrangements for the annual con-
vention Of the chiefs of police, sheriffs
and marshals of the state in Savannah
next week have been concluded.
An excellent entertainment programme
has been arranged, and if the officials
from the interior of the state do not take
advantage of it it will be their loss.
The parade Tuesday afternoon will be
the most complete of the kind ever seen
in Savannah Chief McDermott expects
to have between 80 and 100 men In line,
including twenty-three mounted men and
officers. The chief does not believe there
is another city in this section that can
show up along side of Savannah when it
comes to mounted men, and he expects
the parade to prove this.
The parade will form at the police bar
racks at o'clock. The line viii be headed
by the police commissioners in a carriage,
preceded by two mounted officers. Follow
ing the carriage will come the band, then
the chief, mounted followed by the com
pany of mounted men. Then will come
the patrolmen commanded by Lieut.. owen
Reilly, mounted, aided by the sergeants,
who will probably be mounted also.
The Ocean Steamship force, which is
under command of the chief of the city
police, will furnish fifteen or twenty men
to the parade and the rest will be made up
of the city force.
Leaving the barracks at O'Clock the
line will proceed west on the north side
of Oglethorpe avenue to Bull street, north
on Bull to st. Julian, to Drayten, to Bay,
on Bay to Whitaker, south to Congress,
west to Jefferson, south to Broughton,
east to Bull, south to Liberty, east to
Habersham, and thence to the barracks,
where the parade will be dismissed. 1t
is estimated that the parade will require
about one hour.
The men will not carry military rifles,
with which the department is only par.
tally equipped, but will march with their
clubs only, this being the rule in police
parades all over the country.
This will be the first parade of Savan-
mans police department, in many years
at least. and consequently will be of as
much interest almost to the citizens as to
the visitors.
Wednesday afternoon the visitors. in
Guiding probably the superior court clerks,
will be taken for a trip on the river on
the steamer John Rourke. A run will first
be made up to the Central railroad
wharves. then the steamer will turn and
make the trip down the river to the bell
buoy and return.
Thursday afternoon will be spent at
Tybee. A number of the police chiefs,
sherffs and marshals of the state have
signifed their intention of being present
at the convention, and it is hoped that
the attendance will be large

MAY BUY wHEELMEN's PARK.
Movement to Form n stock Company
for the Purpose.

Wheelmen's park may again belong to
the bicyclists, If the plans take definite
shape. Capt d. G. Purse bought in the
property day before yesterday at sher-
ifs sale for 81, 100. He represented the
Merchants and Mechanics Land Com
pany, which held a claim for $500 on the
property.
The land for the park was bought by
the association OF wheelmen from the
Merchants and Mechanics Company for
$500, there being seven acres in all. Three
hundred dollars of this purchase price
was paid and the wheemen spent great
deal more in the construction of the track
and erection of the buildings and fence.
Capt. Purse, as president of the land
company, went out yesterday afternoon
to take possession of the property. He
has already given instruction TO have the
fence put in repair, and has retained the
man whom the wheelmen have had in
charge at the park. When asked about
the disposition that will be made
of the property, Capt. Purse
said that he would try to sell it, and
that 1t would go very cheap if a purchaser
could be found. The company wants to
get the value of the land out of the prop
erty, and would sell on this bases, $500,
with the addition of about 81 1000 that it
has cost the company in taxes.
Capt. Purse says that until some dispo-
sition is made of the park, il will be open
for the use of the wheelmen. The man
In charge has the same instructions since
the change In ownership that he had be
fore, and will continue to look out for the
property. The track will be open to the
use of riders and this will doubtless be
OF interest to them.
If a plan that Is discussed is put into
execution the wheemen will again get
possession. A number of riders are talk.
ing the matter up and their plan seems
to find favor. They look on
the venture as good business
proposition and are anxious to enlist the
support and cooperation of a large per-
centage of the wheelmen to repurchase
the park. The investment would not call
for half the sum expended when the land
was bought and the track constructed and
buildings erected.
A stock company Invested then, and it
is proposed to form a stock company again
to buy back the property. If it is done,
the subscriptions will not be nearly so
large as before. The track is in good con-
diuon, not even a barrel of cement being
needed for repairs. The buildings are not
badly dilapidated either and a new stock
company of wheelmen could get the prop
erty for virtually what the unimproved
land cost originally. The track
has become frequented of late
by riders in training, and from them and
the races and privileges of all kinds that
might be sold, the promoters of the move
nent for a new company think enough
revenue should be gained to make 1t a
paying venture

Plaintiff Was Hurt.


Plaintiff Was Hurt.
The suit of T. M Coleman against the
Savannah. Florida and Western railway
was continued yesterday before Judge
Norwood
The plaintiff claimed that he had suf-
fered personal injuries by being injured
by the railroad company, and estimated
the damage at $4,000.
II is no new case, having been tried
several times before. One of the inter-
esting turns it took yesterday was the
motion made by the attorneys for the
railroad company for the court to APP
point a committee of physicians to exam
inc the plaintiff and ascertain whether
or not he was as badly injured as his
claim makes him out to be. Dr.. Stone
DR.. Corson and DR.. Dunn were APP
pointed.
They made an examination and report
ed to the court that while he was a man
OF a very nervous temperament, they could
not hnd that there was any valvuar
trouble about the heart, as claimed, al
though they ascertained that his heart
was. perhaps, somewhat enlarged.

HIS HONoRs WILL NOT CONFLICT.

Capt. Carter May Go to London enti
BE Canal Commissioner Too.
The appointment of Capt o. NJ. Carter
as a member of the Nicaragua canal
commission is expected to be announced
in a day or two. Capt Carter is out of
the city, but is expected here in a day or
two.
A Washington dispatch to the Morning
News says:
AT the white house and war depart
ment it is said that the probable appoint
ment of Capt. o. NJ Carter to the canal
commission will not interfere with his
previous assignment to duty as military
attache to the American embassy in Lon
don.
president Mckinley entertains a very
high opinion of Capt Carriers ability, and
his appointment to the commission seems
assured, although it win not be definitely
known until the nominations are made
Several names are being considered by the
President The latter does not regard
Capt. Carriers detail in London as a bar
rier to his appointment on the commits
sion. This matter has been fully consid-
cred, and the place in London will prob
ably be held open until after Capt. Carter
completes his duty in connection with the
commission.
There is a precedent for such action in
the case of Col. Ludlow, who served on
the canal commission in addition to his
duties as military attache of the embassy
in France. Gen. Wilson, chief of engin-
GERS; Secretary Alger and the President
favor the appointment OF Capt. Carter
and to hold the place in London open for
him."

NAVAL MILITIA For CAMP.
Prospects For a Large Representa-
ton at st. Simon.

Prospects For a Large Representa-
tiOn at st. Simon.
The naval militia held a meeting last
night at their armory to discuss matters
pertaining to camp. The indications for d
large attendance are very satisfactory.
1t is believed that fully seventy men will
be taken down to St. Simon's, July 10 to
enter camp, and some say the number
will run to eighty This hope is in the
heart of all the officers and men who will
go, as they desire to see fine represen-
tation from the Savannah divisions
The greatest drawback to a large at
tendance win be the trouble some of the
men will experience in getting of from
business. Every effort is being made on
a naval militia cooperation plan to get
the men off, and it is not likely that many
employees will refuse to allow the members
of the division in their employ a vacation
for the time.
The fact that the Wilmington win be at
st. Simons for the instruction of the
militia is gratifying to the men, They
Will be drilled aboard the gunboat in the

Sticks.
The Ogeechee canal gave up many of it's
flnny tribe yesterday. The water is very
low in the canal, and the fish are hardly
able TO keep their backs covered.
This distressing state of affairs for the
fish was noticed by darky, and glorious
opportunities for procuring a mess of the
canals scaly denizens were at once sug-
gested to him. In he went, and was soon
cracking fish of all kinds over the heads
with a stick. He soon got the mess he
wanted, but his sport was soon shared by
others, and it was not long before the
canal, in its shadows. near the Knicker-
booker Ice Company's works, was filled
with fish hunters. They kept their sticks
going. and the flash of FISH generally
drew a half-dozen blows. Some very fine
ones were killed, a trout of several pounds
being exhibited with much pride by its
slayer. All kinds were to be seen i'm the
piles gathered, the whiskers of big cat
fish rubbing up against the pop-eyes of
Dream, and Shiny cells worming along be-
side the large-mouthed trout.
