CUTS IN THE DEPARTMENTS.
various Views of the Fire Commits
Sfon's Action.

The action Of the fire commission IN re-
ducing the force of the department by sew
en- men on the ground of the reduced ap-
preparation Of the department for the pres
ent year was generally discussed yesterday
with varying views from various sources.
The friends of the commission held OF
course, that it's action was entirely proper
that there was no other course Ie1t Tor 1t
to pursue under the circumstances, and
that if the force had to be reduced il was
well that it should have been done in
systematic manner.
In making the reduction it was natural
that those who were not in sympathy with
the policy Of the commission and the
chief should have been the ones to suffer.
Those not 50 friendly to the commission,
and the chief. held that the commissioners
had been over hasty in their readiness to
reduce the force, and that the apparent
necessity for such a reduction had merely
been made an excuse 10 pay off old
scores. Foreman Connolly and Engineer
j. NJ Doyle are both veteran members Of
the department, and both have many
friends who regret this i'll stroke of fortune
10 them.
What the other commissions will do In
the matter of getting within their reduced
budgets have not been decided. The po-
lice commissioners are not disposed to cut
the force il they can avoid it and the wa
ter commissioners have little chance to
cut.
Chairman Karow of the former commits
sion, in discussing the matter. said he did
not know how the police commissioners
would manage.
our pay roll" he said amounts to
S73,100. out of an appropriation of $4,000
this leaves only 1880 for the numerous
other expenses Of the department, such as
feeding prisoners, feed Of horses, purchase
OF new horses, harness and accouter-
ments, repairs to apparatus, lights, etc.
Lights for the barracks and station cost
$3.50 feeding of prisoners $500, maintenance
Of the GameWell system $500 This puts us
over the budget and leaves nothing for the
feed of horses and the purchase of new
horses 10 replace those which may die or
become Old and worn out. 1t allows us
nothing for the numerous incidental eX-
penses, such as re~Hirs to harness and
wagons and various things of this kind"
The council gave US an appropriation
for 1897 Of $S0,0G0," continued Maj. Karow,
and recently it called upon the police
commission 10 appoint three new men Cor
the protection Of the southern section.
which request was promptly acceed5d to,
and yet, with a force increased by request
of council we are given an appropriation
Of 5000 less. The commission would not
like to reduce the force, yet l do not see
what else we can do"
Maj Karow did not speak, however. as
if any immediate reduction in the force
was contemplated.

RIFLEMEN wen TURKEYS.
prize shots at the Rife Associations
New Years Fetc.

PFiZe ShotS at the h1he AsSoclatioAs
New Years Fetc.
Members of the Savannah Rife Asso-
citation had pretty cold day Of it at Avon
dale range yesterday, nevertheless it was
an enjoyable one. and some good scores
were made, considering the high wind,
which was not favorable to the men IN
their search for the bullseye.
About thirty-fve members of the asso-
citation went out on the 1880 car, and the
target shooting began in the face of a
strong wind at II o'clock. The members
were divided into three classes. there be-
ing about eight or ten in each class. In
the first class Mr.. F. w. Garden made a
score of % at 20O and 20 and 800 yards,
winning the first prize on a score of 49,
President e. A. Cults came second in the
first class with a score of 20
DR.. Howkins won the first prize in the
second class on a score of 40, he having
made 10 at 200 and % at 500 yards. The
second prize was won by Mr.. ]. L. Wal
thour on a total score OF 81. In the first
and second classes two turkeys were
given, the winners being those named. In
the third class, however, only one turkey
was given 1t was won by Mr.. Charlie
Saussy on a total score of SO. Each man
was allowed five shots at each of the two
targets.
The target shooting was concluded about
o'clock in the afternoon, and then came
the new feature of the day, the shooting
at the heads of live turkeys President
Cults had made the association a present
of nine live turkeys. These were put in
a coop in a pit 100 yards away from the
stand. The openings in the coop were Just
large enough for the turkeys to stretch
their heads through them and eat corn
on tine top of a little hill in front. AS a
turkey head came up a target was made
of it. AT first the turkeys ate the corn
quite likely, and their heads were con-
stantly boObing up and down, giving the
marksmen something to shoot at Later
on however, the weather seemed to get
colder and colder. and the turkey heads
did not do so much bobbing When fiv.
OF the birds had been shot it seemed al
most impossible to get the others to raise
their heads, so possession was decided by
shoot al another mark, a dead turkeys
head tied up by a string.
DR.. Howkins struck one turkey in the
head and carried him off as a prize Two
of the birds fell before the careful aim of
Mr.. j. c. Harris. Capt j. C. Postel hit
the next turkey in the wing, killing it, but
1t was decided as he did not hit II in the
neck or head, he was not entitled to it.
The turkeys head was tied up on a string
at 100 yards, and being hit by Mr. Heman
charlton, he was declared the winner Of
the turkey, which had been struck in the
wing. Mr.. John Sullivan Schley was also
lucky enough 10 catch one OF the turkeys
in the neck, and with his prize he caueht
the next car. A good many of the mem
bers left before the turkey shooting was
over on account of the cold weather
Roasted oysters were served in abundance.
and refreshments were there for the mem
bers to their hearts content.

Mai. Knrow's Statement Not Intended

Mai. Knro,v's Statement Not Intended
to Reflect As at First Construed.
There was considerable discussion yes
terday of the incident of Friday afternoon,
the encounter between Maj. Edward
Karow and Alderman Robert NJ. Hull. Il
was the general opinion that there would
be no renewal Of the affair When asked
by q representative of the Morning News
about the statement which led to the diff
ficulty, Mai. Karow said:
Il would much prefer that the unfortun-
ate affair should remain without further
reference, but for the fact that the Ian
guage attributed to me in your issue of
the 31st ult is such as l feel reflects upon
the members of council in a manner that
was no. my intention. The conversation
in which the language said to have been
used by me took place. I did not think
would be used / cannot deny the words
il you insist they were used but desire
to say that they were not a correct state
ment of my views.
MY position is, and I thought 1 so ex-
pressed ii. that by declining to comply
with the request contained in the resolu-
tions Of the commercial bodies, council
had practically put itself in the position of
defeating the object Of the protest OF the
business men of Savannah, and thereby
had practically iudorsed the appointment
of a negro to the position of collector Of
the port.
Had | been properly approached yester-
day by any member Of the board il would
have given me pleasure to have made this
statement but / do not explain under
threat of a street attack, nor do l con-
slider it the proper way TO seek informa-
ton in a matter of this kind"

COL. HAINEs MAY COME.
Talk of Bringing Him Back to Testi-
fy at the Court-MartiaI.

a Washington dispatch to the Morning
News gives slightly different version of
the causes for the postponement Of the
court martial of Capt. o. NJ. Carte than
is understood here The dispatch says:
by mutual consent of counsel on both
sides, the beginning of the court martial
al Savannah in the case of Capt 0. NJ.
Carter, engineer corps, has been postponed
from Jan to Jan. II, in order to allow a
further opportunity for the preparation of
evidence The indications are nat the
trial will consume a great deal of lime, as
it will be necessary. in addition to he sub

evidence. to take the testimony Of a num-
Der of the engineer corps, even including
Col. Haines who will be obliged TO tempo
rarily drop his work with the canal COM
mission in Nicaragua to return to the

So far as the first statement is concern
ed it may be said that Capt. C5rter's at
torneys have stated all along that Che
pos ponement was without taeir knowl-
edge, desire or consent. 1t would appear
therefore, that. it was decided upon in
Washington without their having been
consulted
