The paper also points out that the
earliest time in which the Chilean

the other vessels purchased will take

NOW CAPT. n. C. GUERARD.
FORMER savannahian Leading a
Company of Louisiana Volunteers.

Mr.. Robert G. Guerard is well remem-
Dered In Savannah, and his many friends
here will read with pleasure of the sue
cess he is meeting In the volunteer army.
AS soon as war broke out he organized a
company of cavalry, but finding that it
would not be used by the war depart
ment he has accepted the position of cap
tain of Company NJ, Second Louisiana,
which is part of Gen. W. W. Gordon's
brigade. Before leaving for Jacksonville
from New Orleans on last Tuesday he
was presented with a sword. The Times
Democrat of that city says:
. His departure, however was not with
out incident, as a number of members of
the First Troop of Cavalry Louisiana
State National Guard, of which he has
been the commanding officer since it was
mustered into service, congregated at the
Louisville and Nashville depot and pre-
scented him with a magnificent sword The
affair had been kept a profound secret,
ana 1t was only after Capt. Guerards
friends had followed him into the sleeper
and Mr.. w. S. Parkerson commenced to
make an address, that he realized that the
delegation had come to the depot for an
other purpose besides wishing him god
speed in his new field
The sword was a United States regu-
lation captains sword goldmounted,
with silver handle ornamented with gold
binding. On the blade was the inscrip-
ton: Capt. Robert G. Guerard. Presented
by First Troop Of Cavalry, L. s. N. G.,
Aug. II, 1885,
THE departing officer is a native of SaS
vannah, Ga, but has resided in this city
for the past five years. He has been
connected with the cavalry service in this
state and Georgia for over twenty years.
When the First Troop of Cavalry, l.. S.
N G., was mustered into service, Capt.
Guerard was made the commanding Off
Ger, and on the 14th of August of this
year was elected captain of Company M,
Second Louisiana Volunteers, now sta
toned at Jacksonville. The captain is not
only exceedingly popular with the cavalry
boys, but has a host of friends outside
of military circles His many admirers
are highly elated over the compliment
which has been paid him. that of being
elected captain of a company forming
part Of a regiment with which he had no
previous connection"

TO CUBA AND PORTO RICO.
Sporting and business Men Talking
of Making the Trip.

1t is reported that some members of Sa-
vannah's sporting fraternity will wander
to Cuba and Porto Rico as soon as affairs
are sufficiently Strengthened out in those
islands to make emigration worth an ex-
pertinent.
One or two of them are slated for Ha-
vana, while others think San Juan mone
likely place and may take a steamer in
that direction as soon as the time is pro-
pitious. They look for a boom in bust
ness affairs in those points, and think that
the sporting line will probably pay well.
Others say that Porto Rico Is already
pretty well stocked with those who han
die the pasteboards, while others are of the
opinion that there will be good openings
in both places
These, however, are not the only people
who Will emigrate to these new American
countries-American for they viii both be
rapidly Americanized. A number of young
men with and without small capital, and
with good business minds are talking II
making the experiment, believing that
there will be plenty of room for those
with the energy and push to build up
trade. The chances are that there Will
be sort of fiocking to Cuba and Porto
Rico from many parts of the country. The
movement, however, will hardly take place
until affairs in both islands are some
what more settled.

SIDEWALK ORDINANCE TO PASS.
Southern Section VIII Have Stone
Walks before Long.

It is believed the southern section side
walk ordinance, introduced in Council by
Alderman Davis, will pass at the next
meeting. The aldermen have their minds
pretty well made up to vote for 1t, and
hope to see the work progressing soon
after it becomes a law The improvement
will greatly increase the value of property
in the section to be paved.
AS has been stated in the Morning News,
the ordinance provides for the building of
sidewalks on all streets between Ander-
son and Fifth and Abercorn and Barnard
streets. Artificial stone will be used, and
sufficient time viii be allowed in which
to complete the walks. Three months will
be allowed to complete the work between
the west side of Abercorn, the east side of
Barnard, and the north side of Fifth
street. Four months will be allowed to
complete that area between and includ-
ing the walks on the south side of Fifth,
the west side Of Abercorn, and the east
side of Barnard street
The ordinance fixes the time which the
Commissioner of Public Works shall give
notice for property owners to put the
walks down, and does not Include all
streets In a sweeping manner. When the
front OF any block between and including
the west side of Habersham and the east
side of Abercorn, or between the east
slde OF montgomery and the west side of
Barnard, shall have as many as three
buildings completed on lots fronting north
and south, or one building on those 'front.'
ing east and west, the owners will be re-
quired to pave in ninety days.
Should there be a failure to comply
within the required time, the city will
proceed to do the work and charge it to
the owner Bids were opened in Commits
sioner WTllink's Office yesterday for all
artificial stone work th6 city will have to
lay. so that there wifi probably be no
trouble in putting the ordinance into eff
feet in case the property owners delay it
too long.

Mr.. Jonn NJ. Egan, vice president of the
Central Railroad, returned yesterday
morning from New York, where he has
been looking after railroad business and
receiving the steamship Gate City from
the government which no longer needs

The steamship was surrendered on
Thursday and viii go into dry dock at
once to have her bottom scraped and
necessary repairs made to her. While in
the service of the war department the
vessel accumulated enough barnacles to
cut her speed down to a point where she
would take too long to reach New York
or Boston to be of much service as a
liner. outside of this she will be given
a thorough rendvsting her electric light
system Will be put in first-class order and
other incidental repairs necessitated by
her rough usage Will be made. For all
this the government allowed the Ocean
Steamship Company $500, instead of
making the repairs itself
The contract was for the use of the
vessel, which was to be returned in as
good condition as when leased. Under the
circumstances the government Is doubt
less truly grateful to the company for re-
moving the piano, carpets and lace cur
taius, luXurles the absence of which is
said to have stirred the ire of some North
ern journals. The vessel has been in serv-
ice about three months. What the Ocean
Steamship Company received for her use
is not known. All that Mr. Egan would

made on a basis of tonnage, and the gov

Two Of Savannah's fast young bicycle
riders will make an effort to ride CEN
tury next Saturday. They are Descombe
Wells and hone Conery and they will ride
a tandem which is allowed in century
runs. The riders win make a circuit of
several of the roads around the city each
circuit measuring twenty miles and max
ing the circuit five times.
They viii start about 80 o'clock and
expect TO finish about 1880 o'clock The
finish will be made at Bull and Third
streets and there viii doubtless be a big
crowd to see the riders come in after
their long and tedious journey. II they
ride the century and send the record with
the proper affidavits to the Century Road
Club they win be admitted to member
ship and will be presented with century
bars.
The time limit allowed for a century
to be run in IS fourteen hours aud there
is no doubt that Wells and Connery can
do Il in half that time. In fact, II they
have no accidents, they win probably
make a record for the state.
