WILLING TO TRY 1T AGAIN.
Deserter From CbIckumauga Tramp
ed All the Way TO SAVANNAH.

Deserter From Chickamauga Tramp
ed All the Way TO Savannah.
Fatieued by his long tramp from Chick
amauga to Savannah, George Schumacher
aged 3S, acknowledged to Policeman Ly-
saught yesterday that he was a deserter
from company F. Twelfth Regiment New
York Volunteers and asked that he be
sent back. He was locked up until some
thing is heard from his command
Schumacher is one of those unfortpnates
who went into the army expecting the best
of everything. He said he was In close
straits before enlisting, but thought by
becoming a ledger in the governments
boarding house, he would get better food
and have a good time, His calculations
missed the mark, however, and instead of
milk and honey it was coffee and hard
tack instead of a downy cot, he found
himself on the ground with hay for a pill
low. These privatiOns became intolerable
TO Schumacher, and a week ago he en-
barl1ed for the surrounding woods. He
Travelled night and day, but with every
step his hunger increased until he con-
cluded on reaching Savannah the army
was the best place for him after all.
There was no effort by Schumacher to
conceal his identity. He wore his uniform
all the way, and made no effort to dodge
the officers Now that he is anxious to
get back, there is no question but the
government will receive him with open
arms.

il was intended should be held during the
summer under the management of the
Savannah Cycle Dealers Association.
There have already been three postpone,

more interesting than it would have been

be met and those wishing to go this way
will be transferred to the track for a
| charge of ten cents. The track Is reached
either by the Thunderbolt road or Dale

latter road.
The starter will fire his pistol for the
first race promptly at 4;90 o'clock. The la
dies of the Regimental Aid Society will

the soldiers in camp.
The card is a good one, the entries are
first rate and if the weather is favorable
there ought to be some good sport.

WILL PUSH HIS CLAIM.
MIR. Russell Hopes to Get n Hearing
Before Council.

Before Council.
Mr.. Warning Russell has not yet been
given a hearing by the finance
committee of Council as was
expected, in regard to his claim
against the city for lands sold to 1t TWEEN
ty years ago. He hopes TO get a hearing
very soon, however at which he viii en-
deavor through his attorney, to convince
Council Of the justice of his claim.
It seems to be a matter to whether the
city shall plead the statute of limitations
or pay the amount without contest. There
is no question as to the genuineness of the
paper given by Mayor Screven on which
the claim is based, but there is doubt as
to the action Council should take in the
matter Some of the members say they
would not plead the statute individually,
but in their capacity as aldermen, they
look al it differently.
Il have asked that the city withdraw It's
demurrer to the action / commenced in
the Superior Court and allow me to lay
the matter before Council" said Mr.. Rus
sell. city Attorney Adams has showed no
Willingness to do this, however, and l be-
lieve is fully determined not to assent to
it, At any rate il is my intention to pre-
sent the facts to Council. after which
believe Twill get justice"

Col William Jennings Bryan and his

leave Omaha next Monday for Jackson

graphic dispatches received by the Cen

II will take three long trains to transport
them.
There Will be freight train, loaded with
horses and baggage, In addition. The Cen
trail takes charge of the regiment at At
lanta and carries It TO Albany. 1t is pos
sible. though that an effort may be made
TO change the route and bring the regi-
meut to Savannah and over the Plant Sys-
TEN from here to Florida.
The route taken to Atlanta will en-
brace Nashville and Chattanooga. 1t is
understood that at both of those cities as
well as at Atlanta, the people will ar
range to have great demonstrations in
honor of Col Bryan and his regiment. At
all three places it IS probable that there

SNAP SHOTS ON THE ROAD.
Amateurs to Unite bicycling with
Photograph for n Day.

The Camera Club, an association of ANA

of the roads tomorrow afternoon and try
the skill of its members in competitive
work. There are twenty-nine enthusiastic
photographers in the club, which has
headquarters at Bull and New Houston
Streets practically all are bicyclists and
it is thought that an occasional tour of
one of the paved roads about the city
may be productive of some good photo
graphic bits as well as of pleasant recre-
alton. 1t is probable that the club will
arrange for an exhibit of the work of
its members in the fall.
