HussARs PREPARING FOR CAMP.
There Was Meeting Last Might and
an InsDecfion of the TrOop.


At the meeting Of the Georgia Hussars
last night for the purpose of making def
mite arrangements for the cavalry en-
campment at Meldrim. 1t was shown that
the interest is running at high pitch and
that the troop viii turn out strong.
There are only 81 enlisted men in the
troop and three officers. The law requires
that each troop shall take to the encamp-
ment % men, and it was found last night
that out of the thirty one, there will be a
fun attendance with the exception of
two, one Of whom had the misfortune to
break his leg lately, and the other to break
his arm. This speaks much to the credit
Of the troop-being a better record than
If it had a great deal more men enlisted
and mustered a larger attendance the per-
centage OF attendance being so great.
The Hussars Will be the special escort
to the regimental standard and the colonel
and the men will leave here at . o'clock
Monday morning and ride through the
country to the camp at Medium. Their
trunks and baggage will be shipped sun
day evening over the Central railroad and
each member will have his luggage at the
army at o'clock Sunday in order that it
may be shipped
An order has been posted IN the club
showing just what each member will be
required to take with him to camp. The
cavalry boys think this will be the greatest
and most successful encampment ever
dreamed of in the circles of troopers In
Georgia

MERCURY KEEPS ON CLIMBING.
LACKED FEW SEVENTIES OF
REACHING 1O2 DEGREES.

Savannah the Hottest Place In the
Countryside Signs of "A Let Up-A
squaII Made the Night EndurabIe.
June's Remarkable Record.
Savannah was not as hot yesterday as
some people made believe, but It was the
hottest place in the country. The Their
mometer up the weather mans Office told
the story of the day when it bobbed up
serenely and stuck at the 1O1 $40 mark.
This was the highest 1t went II lacked
seven-tenths of a degree Of being as hot
as 1t was the day before, and the day be-
fore 1t was hotter than it had been in
Savannah in ten years. The difference
between 1902 and 1O1 3-10 Is not great and
the man who tramped around in the sun
much is excusable for not detecting It,
The attempt at a thunderstorm last
night brought a cool breeze. The weather
tried its best, seemingly, to atone for its
capers during the day. There was plenty
of blow, but the rain didn't come. 1t will
probably rain to-day-at least, enough to
relieve the embarrassment of the park and
tree commission in watering the grass
about the town.
Observer Sherier told the Morning News
that If there is to be a change in the
weather soon the change has not mani
tested itself in the weather bureau up to
date IL will probably be hot again to-
day, though not quite so warm as yester-
DAY, and the day before. 1t is consoline
in some degree to know that the weather
man has promised to let the public know
when 1t Is time to take down the ulster
and overcoat again.
There was rush to Tybee and the salts
in the afternoon. The suburban rail lines
carried crowds in every direction. In the
city people made the most of the street
cars and paid double fares for the privi-
lege OF riding At Thunderbolt and south
OF the city the squall which came up be-
tween Z and 8 o'clock was severely felt.
good many people thought a cyclone was
coming. For a few minutes it blew a
gale, and then subsidized.
During the afternoon there was little
work in the sun. On the wharves and
in the railroad yards the heat was so
intense that 1t was with difficulty that
any work was done at all.
The highest temperature was reached
at o'clock. 1t did not get cooler to any
appreciable extent until nearly o'clock
when the first breath of the blow was
felt
Observer Sherier's report for June shows
1t to have been a most exceptional month
meteorologically speaking. There were
but ten days on which mercury did not go
above 80 degrees. In fact, since June 10
there have been but two exceptions Three
times during the month the 100 degree
mark was reached and the lowest temper
allure recorded was 81 degrees. From 81 to
100 is a wide range. Besides being hot the
month was remarkably dry one The
average for June is 61s inches. Last month
1t was little less than inches.

RECORDERS BIG DOCKET.
seventy-five Cases Disposed of In Po-
lice Court.


lice Court.
Recorder Hartridge disposed of about
seventy-1ve cases in police court yester-
day morning The most remunerative of
the lot were the cases against bicychsts.
over twenty Of whom paid 81 each for vio-
lation of the road and park ordinances,
Two bicyclists, Messrs. G. r. Pacetu and
r. Grice. paid s. each for the pleasure of
scorching on the streets. They are not
likely to do so again.
The twenty-six dog cases on the list
were easily disposed of and brought in
very little cash, many of those on the
docket having taken out badges for their
dogs since being notified to appear in po-
lice court.
The charge preferred by the sanitary in
spectors against Messrs. John Rourke &
Son of maintaining a nuisance at their
foundry on Bay street was investigated
by the recorder.
There is a natural spring. at the foot OF
the bluff where portion of Mr. Rourke's
foundry and machine shop is situated
which is partly drained by small bitches
DR. LeHardy insisted that MIR. Rourke
put In tile drainage which Mr. Rourke de-
clined to do. The two gentlemen had quite
a warm controversy over the matter one
day last week
Recorder Hartrdge. after hearing the
evidence, decided that It would be neces-
sary for him to examine the spot himself
and he accordingly reserved his decision
1t Is likely that the case will be dismissed
with the understanding that Mr.. Rourke
will make some changes which will be
satisfactory 70 the health officer 1t is I'M
derstood that one reason why Mr.. Rourke
was unwilling to go to any expense in
draining the place was that It is part of
the right OF way through his property
which IL being negotiated for by the city
for the purpose of opening River street
In case the street should be opened the
city would have TO make provision for the
drainage In grading the street.

WILL SERVE OUT HIS TERM.
Mayor McIdrim viii Not Resign
From the Legislature.

Mayor MeIdrim viii Not Resign
From the Legislature.
A good many people have been speculat-
ing as to whether Mayor Meldrm would
resign his seat in the Legislature before
the opening of the fall term, and what
would be the result of the election to fiji
such a vacancy. They may set their minds
at rest Mayor Meldrm will not resign.
When seen by Morning News reporter
and asked if he had any intention of re-
signing his seat in the legislature, Mayor
Meldrim replied that he had given the
subject no consideration. The probabili-
ties were, however, he said that he would
not resign. He was not aware at present
of any reason why he should do so.
When ! was nominated for the legisla-
ture," he said, "the point was raised that
l might resign before the end of the term.
To this / replied that If elected / would
not resign, but would serve out the full
term. Under the circumstances should
say that 1 am bound TO serve out the
term"
From this 1t would appear that there is
not much chance for a political fight
this summer A fight of this kind would
furnish some diversion for a summer
which promises to be very dun At the
same time IL is one of the things to be
thankful for that there are no political
campaigns being Waged

Complying with His Views.
Health Officer LeHardy is making a
census of the butchers and green grocers
for the purpose of ascertaining the man
ner in which their meats are kept He is
pleased to find that the majority of the
green grocers outside the market do not
keep their meats on ice and that they are
otherwise disposed to comply with the
views of the health officer on this subject
The doctor had the pleasure of meeting
one butcher who did not regard him as
an enemy. He was on his way down
town when he stopped to peer into a very
neat looking butcher shop A man whom
he took TO be the proprietor came out.
Are you the proprietor" inquired DR..
LeHardy.
Il am, replied the man. "who are your"
Il am the health officer" meekly replied
the doctor.
Il am glad to see you. Come in said
the butcher in a very cordial manner. He
took the doctor in, showed him how his
refrigerator was arranged, with the meat
suspended from hooks and everything per-
fectly clean and sweet smelling. The doc
tor was delighted. He was glad to find
one butcher who cared for his meats In
an intelligent manner and appreciat ted the
interest OF the health officer of the city
In such matters. There are others. In
fact, DR.. LeHardy believes, that the ma
jority OF the green grocers are on the
