FIREMEN GONE TO FIGHT.
Maguire's Department Wen Repre-
scented by Volunteers.

Maguire's Department Well Repre-
scented by Volunteers.
The fire department has sent more vol
unteers to the front than any other branch
of the city government, which is a source
of much pride to the authorities. Many
stepped gracefully to the front. and are
now on the plains of Griffin, getting ready
to battle for their country.
Aside from the departure of two of their
commissioners, were the following: Fire
men J. E. Douglass with the Republican
Blues; d. ]. Flood, with the Irish Jasper
Greens; c. e. Pitts, with the Guards; w.
b. Nell, Jr., with the Cadets; L. ]. Taylor,
with the Guards; w. A. Wells, with The
Republican Blues; and T. ]. Burns, with
the naval reserves. The positions held by
the volunteers have been filled with ca
diets in the service, but when the men re-
turn it is probable they will be given
their places.
Next to the fire department the public
works department have answered the call
with the largest number. Quite number
of new men have already been taken on
the force, but 1t is an implied understand
ing that the volunteers are to be taken
back on their return.

His Action in Resigning.
MIR. L. w. Nelson the announcement OF
whose resignation as Mayor of Thunder
bolt appeared in yesterdays Morning
News. was seen yesterday. and asked
about the action of the commissioners
which led him to take that step.
There is nothing that l care to say IN
addition to the report in the Morning
News" Mr.. Nelson said. 1.-The facts there
meeting of the commissioners last night
for the reasons stated, but l do not wish
TO discuss my action at present"
There was to have been another meet
ing of the Thunderbolt commissioners yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of con
siderlng the matter of a successor 10
Mayor Nelson but the meeting was post
poned, for the reason, it is said, that there
IS considerable doubt as 10 just what
will have to be done to get new Mayor
and chairman of the commissioners in Mr..
Nelson's place.
The first impression seemed TO be that
the commissioners themselves would
choose a chairman who would become
Mayor through their election, but some
doubt on this point has been raised. 1t
is said in other quarters that a new Mayor
Win have to be elected by the people, and
1t is understood chat point will be made.
The commissioners did nothing after Mr.
Nelson's resignation When the resolu-
ton prohibiting Sunday musical entertain
ments was passed Mr.. Nelson expressed
his opinion on the matter and Immediate
~ left the meeting. 1t Is well known that
the views of the commissioners on this
subject have been antagonistic to those
Of Mayor Nelson, and he has withheld
the passage OF such a resolution as long
as 1t was possible to do so. When the
commissioners insisted on this course he
rendered his resignation.
Mayor Nelson has turned over the Off
clal records of his Office to Vice Chairman
Reitz of the board of commissions. and
II has been decided to hold a meeting Of
the board the second Tuesday in June
Tor the purpose of eleeting a Mayor.
II is reported that ii is a mistake that
brass bands win be allowed on SUNDAYS
under the resolution recently adopted.
Parties having pianos In their private
houses will be allowed to use them, it is
stated, but piano music, singing and
brass bands in the open air on SUNDAYS
will be prohibited. 1T appears beyond
question that the action of the board was
direct hit at Mr.. Herman Winters place

"Anxiously awaiting word from Admir-
al Dewey's fleet at Manila, Capt. John +.
Wheaton. formerly Mayor of Savannah,
fought death and repulsed il until the
message of victory was received. Being
a veteran of the civil war, he had taken
the keenest interest in Admiral Dewey
and the fleet.
=" Undoubtedly that kept him alive az
the last said Mr.. Burras. He seemed
constantly buoyed by the hope of hear
ing news of Admiral Dewey, whom he
greatly admired. Eacn day he asked
eagerly TO have the news read to him.
When the final reports of the victory at
Manila were read to him he smiled joy
ously, then gradually sank until he died. "

If He Goes to Cuba He VIII Not
Resign as Health Officer.
Health Officer LeHardy yesterday re-
ceived a response to a letter he sent Sur
geon General George NJ. Sternberg of the
United states army, offering his services
TO the government as a yellow fever ex-
pert. Il thank you for your offer Of SER
vices" the reply says, land shall place
your letter en- file for future reference in
case Of need
DR.. LeHardy does not apprehend an en-
tdemic among the army of invasion If
proper precautions are taken by the physi-
clans. He has Travelled extensively in
Cuba, which gives him much knowledge
concerning the localities in which the fever
IS most likely to break out. AS long as
the troops are camped on hills at night
he does not believe there is any great prob
ability of a fever spread.
The health officer said concerning HE
possible departure, that he would not re-
sign. Il shall give Council notice in case
l am called on to so TO Cuba. l wont
resign under any circumstances. but woul6
allow the board to declafe my Office va

TO INSPECT oGEEcHEE CANAL.
A Plan TO Keep 1t in Sanitary Condi-
ton Under Consideration.

ton Under Consideration.
A new plan for keeping the Ogeechee
canal in sanitary condition will likely be
determined to-day as the result of an in
spection to be made by Health officer LIE
Hardy, together with a member of the en-
cheering department of the Central Rail-
road. The canal may be flooded hereafter
by holding the water in it until the tide is
down in the river.
There has been great complaint on ac-
count of filth of all kinds in the canal, en-
dangering the public health. Vice Presi-
dent Egan of the Central Railroad was
notified by the health officer, after which
an appointment was made to inspect the
canal and remedy such things as exist
against the sanitary laws The trouble
has been found to be that vegetation and
sediment collect and impede the flow of the
water and add to existing impurities.
Health Officer LeHardy's idea Is to thor
oughly clean the canal, and hereafter hold
the water, which backs into il at high tide.
When this is released after ebb tide, it is
believed the flush will carry out all mat
ter, keeping the canal In clean and san
itary condition. 1t is not known what will
be done, but the Central Railroad has sig
nihed the intention of using it's endeavors
TO keep its property in a sanitary condition.

MAY GET A LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
Commissioners It. Newell West to
Leave the City With the Guards.

Commissioner IT. Newell West to
Leave the City With the Guards.
The County Commissioners will hold their
May session at the court house this after
noon. So far as is known there is prac-
tically little but routine business to come
before the board.
Perhaps the most interesting feature will
be the question of granting leave of abb
sence to Mr.. r. Newell West a member
of the board, who will leave the city this
morning as first lieutenant Of Company d
Of the Savannah Volunteer Guards.
The other commissioners did not want
Mr.. West to resign, and the question Of
granting him a leave of absence for six
months or more has been informally dis
cussed among them. 1t is believed this
can be done as members of the board have
at times left the city for a month or six
weeks without any leave whatever. The
matter will probably be definitely decided
at this afternoons meeting.

TALKED OF FOR RECORDER.
Several Candidates in the Field for
Mr.. Hartrfdge's Place.


When the resignation Of Recorder Hart
ridge, who has gone with the Georgia
troops to Griffin, is accepted by Council,
the election Of his successor may take
Place at the same meeting. Whether there
viii be a special meeting is not yet known,
as Mayor Meldrim is absent from the city
and may not return until tonight.
Already there are said to be several can
didates IN the field who would like the
place. All thus far mentioned are attor-
neys, whose experience in the law would
satisfactorily qualify them for the posi-
tion. Among those whom it is understood
Will become applicants are Messrs. II. E..
Wilson, T. p. Ravenel, George w. Owens,
Walter p. LaRoche A. H. MacDonell and
Gordon Saussy. No aggressive fight is be-
ing made by any one, but the prospect of
the vacancy has given rise to sOicitude on
the part of those expecting recognition.
Mr.. Wilson was the first and only incum-
bent of the Office besides Mr.. Hartridge,
and he would again take up the duties
with more or less familiarity on account
Of his former service. Judge MaeDonell
presided over the City Court, gaining cred
it for the straightforward and impartial
manner In which he discharged his duties.
The other applicants are known for their
capacity and high standing as attorneys.
The office of recorder in some respects
is one of the most lucrative in the gift of
Council for the time spent. The salary is
$1,000 a year. earned by devoting, on an
average, of an hour to an hour and a half
at the police barracks each morning. The
number of cases varies, of course, but it
is only exceptional days that the recorders
working hours exceed an hour and a half.
Because of the inability of either Mayor
Meldrim or Acting Mayor Owens to attend
70 the court. it is likely the new recorder
viii be elected very soon. To facilitate
matters, the Mayor may forebode Coun-
CHS action In accepting the resignation and
publish the notice required in such cases
prior to the next meeting, which would
then allow the election to proceed, if it so
desired. Until a successor is chosen, how
ever the duties of recorder are being taken
care of by Acting Mayor Owens.

Politicians Discussing Governor At
kinsOn's Hand in II.
There is considerable talk that the
organization Of the two regiments of
United States volunteers from Georgia
was carefully planned by some one with
a general understanding of now the loaves
and fishes We're to be divided
The Governor, it is claimed. wanted 10
place the appointments were they would
do him the most good in future political
struggles, and he gave Savannah. where
his personal political futures are not of
most brilliant coloring big share of
the good things in the military line.
People in other parts of the state were
not breaking their necks" to go to Cuba
and the military plums which fell to say
annah did not create envy. Atlanta thought
it would have all the military encamped
around the capital, which looked well for
business. Savannah got a colonel ana a
lieutenant colonel and pretty nearly half Of
the prVates for the two regiments.
The story now is that Savannah is TO
have both colonies. Col. Lawton. of the
First Regiment and Lieutenant Colonel
Garrard TO become colonel of the second
Regiment, through the promotion of Col
cnel Oscar J. Brown TO a brigadier gem
eralshlp.
1t is claimed that Gov Atkinson has
been at work in this line for some time.
IT, in fact, he had such a plan in view
from the first movement to organize the
Georgia Volunteers. President McKinley's
declaration that he proposed giving prefer
cnce to military men in his appointment Of
brigadier generals being kept in mind. The
appointment Of Col. Brown will come
within this rule If the President does moi
