TO GO BACK INTO CAMP.
First Battalion of Fourth Illinois
Relieved From Provost Duty.

The Fourth Illinois Regiment will soon
oe relieved entirely from provost guard
duty.
Col. Ebon Swift, the new commanding
officer of the regiment, has recently re-
turned from Washington, and desires now
to get his regiment in the field. In accord
ance with orders issued from corps head
quarters, the First Battalion. in command
Of Maj l.. T. Bennett, Will be relieved
from provost duty this morning and will
proceed al once to the camp of the Second
Brigade of the First Division on Dale ave
nue..
This battalion includes companies c and
D, which are located on the Bay street
green, Company l., at Huntington and
Barnard, and Company +, which is located
on Bull street, opposite Thomas square
The order relieving this battalion directs
that each division commander shall furn-
ash two companies for provost duty to
serve for ten days each, and in accord
ance with thai order one company from
the Fourth Virginia and one from the
Second Illinois viii come in this morning
at 8 O'Clock to take the place of the two
companies on the Bay street green, a
company from the Second Louisiana will
go to Huntingdon and Barnard streets,
and a company from the Third Nebraska
will take the place OF the company out
on Bull street.
The battalion which returns to camp
win carry its tents and equipment with
it, and the companies of the other regi-
ments will bring their tents into the city.
At the end of ten days these companies
will return to their regiments, and the
division commanders will designate other
companies 10 take their places
This is the initial movement toward re-
moving the entire Fourth Illinois Regi-
ment from provost duty, end ii is expect
ed that within a few weeks the entire regi-
ment will be back in The fed. Col. Swift
has just taken charge and he is DESTROYS
Of getting his regiment in good shape for
field service. The Fourth Illinois, as is
well known, was put on provost duty, for
one Feason at least on account Of
some trouble between the colonel and the
other officers OF the command, and was
assigned TO Mai. Harrison, provost mar
shall, by battalions. The chances are now
that there will be no command perma-
nently assigned TO this duty, but that
assignments will be made every ten days,
or for such period as may be decided upon.

If there is one thing more than another
that Savannah is urgently in need of it is
an auditorium or other building capable
of accommodating a very large assem-
b.age If II were decided to give the en-
tire Seventh Army Corps a grand ball or
reception there is no building in Savannah
large enough for the purpose. Otherwise
Savannah is pretty well equipped. No city
in the South, for example has so fine or
complete a iewelry establishment as that
of Sternberg & Co., and that the fact is
appreciated is evident in the big trade this
popular house is enjoying IN fine jewelry.
cut glass, watches, clocks, sterling silver.
ware, onyx tables. onyx tables and com
bination lamps. statuary, etc. Their very
low prices, combined with reliability.
doubtless explains this popularity. We'd

this house.-ad.

LAST TIME ON THE CIRCUIT.
Judge FnIIigant VIII Hereafter Pre-
side Only in Chatham.

Judge FnIIigant VIII Hereafter Pre-
side Only in Chatham.
Judge Robert Falligant left last night
for Daren, where he goes to hold the fall
term of the Superior Court for Mcintosh
county.
Ordinarily the seni-annual trip of the
court to the country counties is of little
interest, but this time Judge Falligant will
say soodby TO his last court on the circuit
and will hereafter hold court only in Chat
ham. The trips on the circuit have always
been pleasant ones, and for many reasons
Judge Falligant undoubtedly regrets to
give them up But the business of Chat
ham requires his attention, and Chatham
county is now the eastern judicial circuit
of Georgia.
Hereafter Judge Paul F.. Seabrook will
attend to the business of the four country
counties of the circuit which win be
known as the Atlantic circuit. There will
be only two terms a year in each of the
counties as heretofore, the fall and spring
terms, and they will last as the business
of the respective courts demands. Judge
Seabrook, under the new law, will a.so
assist Judge Faligant in the eastern cir
cult but just what duties he will perform
in that connection, has not yet been de-
cided The chances are, however that he
will have to look atter considerable of the
criminal business. and assist the court
here when it is overcrowded with work.

CALLED 1T CAMP CARPENTER.

The Third GcOrein Regiment win
Move to Its New Camp Tomorrow.
The Third Georgia Regiment will not
move its camp to-day, but will probably
do so tomorrow.
The regiment was to have moved this
morning to a camp on the Waters road
some distance beyond Dale avenue, but
viii not do so on account of the fact that
a change in the site selected has been
made necessary. II was found that
large amount Of refuse matter had been
dumped near the site picked out and for
this reason it was decided 10 make another
change.
The new site for the Third Georgia is
near the junction of Dale avenue and the
Waters road, but is on the north side of
Dale avenue. and just this side of the First
Division headquarters.
The water pipes will be put in to-day,
and tomorrow the regiment will pack up
bag and baggage and move from It's pres
ent location on the Ogeechee road 10 "A
more pleasant and desirable one, ana one
which Is within easier reaching distance
of the city. The regiment has had no OPP
porunity TO drill or have dress parade
where il is at present located, and for this
reason rs well as others, the officers and
men will be glad OF the change.
The Third Georgia Regiment has called
its regimental camp Camp Carpenter, in
honor of Gen. L. H. Carpenter, to whose
brigade it is attached. Gen. Carpenter and
a part of his command are now in Cuba,
and the Fifteenth Infantry will to-day be
on the way to Join them.
The Georgia men have been doing well
in their present location. and no complaint
has been heard from any of them The
regiment is a large one, and the discipline
is in splendid shape.

was complaint by neighbors on account of
the NOISE from lue ptdCt oltiy amer AAlu-
night yesterday. The detectives went there
for the purpose of making the arrest, and
on making their mission known, had no
trouble in getting the prisoners to the bar
racks. A detachment of the provost guard
went along, however, so that it might
have been difficult for any of the negroes
to have ESCAPED.

other prisoners to be tried by the Recor-

THE NEW GUNS GIVEN OUT.
4 Slight Mix-Up in the Models in
Some of the Regiments.

Some of the Regiments.
All of the regiments of the Seventh
Army Corps have now been supplied with
the new United States rife, commonly
known as the Krag-Jorgensen with the
exception of the Fofty-ninth Iowa and
Sixth Missouri Regiments. These two
regiments will receive their new guns to-
day, and Col Rogers Brine, chief ord
nance officer Of the corps, will then have
issued all Of these arms sent here for
the soldiers.
The Third Georgia Regiment viii not
receive new guns, at least not at the pres
ent time, but this regiment will be furnish
ed with smokeless powder cartridges for
the Springfield rifles, which are 45-cali-
Der. The Third Georgia belongs to the
Second Army Corps, to which corps the
new rifles have not been issued. though it
is the first, almost, to be ordered to Cuba.
The new guns have been issued so far
only 10 the First and Seventh Corps and
the Second Corps will carry Springfield
rifles into Cuba.
In the distribution Of the new guns there
was a little mix-up In some of the regi-
ments. Some of the guns sent here are
the 1896 model, while others are of the 1898
model. In some instances il appears that
his fact was overlooked, and the guns of
different models were distributed in the
same regiment The difference IN the
mechanism of the two guns is a slight one,
but as it is liable to lead to some error,
the commanding officers desired 10 have
all of the guns for their respective regi-
ments of the same pattern. Several eX-
changes viii, therefore, he made, and II
viii be seen to that each regiment is sup
piled with guns of the same model
