Manager Thompson.of the Ogilvie Min

FIRST REGIMENTS EFFORTS To IN
CREASE COMPANY ENLIsTMENTs.

ceiyed at TO-night's Meetings.
Capt. Brooks Talk to the Cadets.
Twenty-Seven Lined Up as Vol
unteers in Response to Their Cap
tain's CaII-COi. Lawton Wants Fun
Ranks.
An effort will be made to run the enlist
ment of the companies comprising the
First Regiment Infantry, up to the num-
Der, eighsy-four, that is prescribed by the
measure now pending in the Senate, pro-
viding for the reorganization of the army.
The local companies are trying to get re-
cruits so that they will be able to volun-
teer with a large number of men.
At the meetings of all the companies to-
night at the regimental armory the blanks
filled out by new men wishing to volunteer
and by those now in the commands who
swill volunteer, will be turned in to the cap
tans. These blanks were given out at the
meetings of the companies Saturday night.
Col Lawton is anxious to have the COM
panies fill their ranks. He has received no
orders instructing him to recruit the COM
panies, but he would like to be prepared
when The call comes. The colonel wants all
able bodied men desiring to volunteer for
war service with the regiment to hand in
their names Immediately to the captains of
any company they may select
All the companies are making efforts to
run up the number of their men who will
volunteer. They are getting signed pa
pers from those who are not now members,
stating that they will volunteer with the
companies when the call comes. The
Irish Jasper Greens are showing up best
so far They have more than forty men
who will volunteer and as many more who
have signfed their intention of joining the
company and volunteering.
Capt. Jordan F. Brooks talked to a
number of the members of the Savannah
Cadets yesterday shortly, after noon at
| their quarters. He explained to them
| that the officers did not know anything
about what would be done in the way of
volunteering, or how the call would be
made. He explained as well as the cir
| cumstances allowed all he knew about the
| situation, and then said he wanted all the
men who would volunteer TO range them
selves on one side of the room. In re-
Spouse twenty-seven did SO. These are
not all who will go with the Cadets when
| the call comes.
| Capt Brooks made no effort to influence
the men in any way. He told them he

| Iiberate, and for them TO understand fully
the step they will take when they volun-

James MOnahan Accidentally Injur-
ed in Left Hand.
James Aionahan was badly cut at his
home, No. III Reynolds street. last night
shortly after having returned from a trip
to Thunderbolt. The injury consists of a
deep cash on the right arm, by which two
arteries were severed. 1t is said to nave
been accidentally caused by the breaking
of a lamp shade.
A message was sent the police barracks
that a man had been cut and was bleed
ing to death there. The ambulance was
started, as was also Policeman Murphy,
who went to investigate. On arriving
there, however, the physician who at
tended Monahan was met and said the
ambulance would not be needed. After
being informed the cutting was by an ac-
cident; the officer gave the matter no fur
ther attention, and he, too, returned.
No explanation was given as to how Mo
nahan met with the accident. The cash
was severe one and If he was not struck
by some one, he gave himself heavy
blow

The Savannah, Thunderbolt and isle of

Of cars on Broughton street. TIE cars
now run from Bolton street junction. or
Habersham to Broughton to Barnard. to
st. Julian, to Bryan, to St.. Julian, to
Habersham, and thence back to the juno
ton. By reason of the double track along
Habersham street there is scarcely any
chance for delay from any other cause
than breakdown. Any number of cars
can be placed on the line, as where they
run on single track which is the case on
all streets, except Abercorn, ell go in the
same direction.
Their is a curve to be put in before the
West Broad street line, which runs
through the market. can be again opegat-
ed. This curve is at the corner of Brough-
ton and Abercorn streets. Cars on that
line now stop at the western end Of the
market, on St. Julian street. This line
connects with Battery Park and the south
western section of the city. Capt. ]. H.
Johnston, general manager of the road
stated yesterday that 1t will be only a
matter of a few days when the curve Is In
and cars Will be running through the
market uninterruptedly.
As at present arranged the city is well
fixed In the way Of car lines. There are
six lines running north and south, cover
ing breadth of about 400 feet, while
there are the same number running across
the city which spread over a width of
about two miles. With such facilities the
car companies secure a large travel This
is now beginning to show itself. The COM
pany did the largest business of the sea-
son yesterday. Some idea of the number

der recently given by the company for
about $4,000 transfers. OF these there
We're $1,000 each for the Abercorn, Brough-
ton and Whitaker line, Habersham ard

timated that this number of transfers will

SERMON ON WAN NOT wARL1KE.
Rev. DIR. Schaeffer Pictures the HOr-
rOrs of HostiIitIes.


Rev DIR. W. C. schaefer's sermon at
the Lutheran Church of the Ascension last
night was on war, but 1t was not warlike.
His topic was Loyalty TO the Flag" and
this DIR. Schaeffer strongly advocated. At
the same time he presented a very effect
i've picture of the horrors and barbara
ties of war. He declared himself man
of peace and opposed 10 war, and deplored
the fact that the country had been drawn
into war, the end Of which no man
could foresee. and the consequences of
which might be worldwide.
1T has been reported that / had said
that l was ready to offer my services in
case OF war" said Or. Schaeffer. "What
l meant to convey was that If the war
should become Of sufficient extent that a
large number of the people with whom |
have 'labored should become involved in
il and that my services should be needed
to soothe and comfort the sick and to ad-
minister hope and consolation to the dying
that they would not be withheld. 1 trust
such VIII not be the case"
The flag Of our country" said DR..
Schaeffer represents every thing near and
dear to.us. country, home and government.
the preservation of our lives and property
the protection of our wives and little ones.
the preservation of liberty. IL need be,
We should all be ready to sacrifice our
lives for it,"
At the same time, DR.. Sehaeffer deplorsd
the fact that war which might possibly
have been averted by means of statesman
ship, would take 50 many young men from
their homes, many of them never to re-
turn again, leaving bereaved and aching
hearts.
DR.. Schaeffer turned to that of the spir-
itual wa .fare. upon which he dlscoursed
ably and eloquenty. He urged all to en-
list under the banner of King Emanuel
to fight the great enemy of the human
race, sin, which Is far more cruel end
vindictive and more difficult to overcome
than any human oppressor, the world bas
ever known.

PAVING TURNED no MUD.
Bull Streets New Gravel Roadway
Has Made a Poor Showing.

Has Made Poor Showing.
The new gravel paving on Bull street
from New Houston south to Heary, as far
as it has been laid, turned largely to mud
during Saturdays rain.
Yesterday the street resembled very
much northern country road after hard
freeze following a breaking up in the fall
or early spring. 1t was full of deep ruts
and as rough as any hill road well ca'uld
be. 1t was partially surfaced with FIRE sh
gravel, but that helped the matter yea y
little, since ii was not rolled.
The street had been opened for travel a
couple of days and was getting in fairly
good condition when the rain came and
turned it into soft mud. Wagon wheels cut
deep ruts and yesterday morning even BIZ
cycles sank tire deep into the clay. To all
appearances the paving is merely a clay
and gravel mixture, and in The opinions OF
those who saw it yesterday, is likely to be
a failure for street paving purposes. If il
will not stand rainfall of less than half
an inch after having been thor
oughly rolled and travelled over,
hard rain would stand a good chance
of washing the most of it into the sewers.
Many people inspected the paving yester-
day and the general opinion was that il Is
a failure.
1t is claimed by those who have seen the
gravel elsewhere that after it has been
laid some time and has become thorough
ly hardened it does not perceptibly soften
with even the heaviest rains.
Property owners on Bull street who are
expected to pay two-thirds of the cost of
the paving are anything but satisfied with
the pavement so far as it stood the light
rain of Saturday and if it is not demon
strated that it is more substantial than
results so far have shown it to be, there
is likely to be protest against putting
any more Of it down, or paying for what
| has been put down.
