has not been death from disease in the
regiment since it was mustered in, though

GATE CITY STILL OVERDUE.
Was sighted or Montauk Point ny
the Chattnkoochce MONDAY.


The steamship Gate City. from Boston,
had not arrived at O'Clock this morning,
though but little apprehension is felt for
her safety. as she was then only a few
hours overdue calculation of the time
lost while weathering the severe New Eng
land storm and her trip down the coast
after il had passed shows that the steam
er should have got in about 10 O'Clock last
night
The officials of the Ocean Steamship
Company and every one interested in the
safety of the vessel, were greatly reas-
sured yesterday morning, when dispatch
was received at the office of Vice President
Egan from Boston, stating that the Chat
tahoochee had passed and spoken the
Gate city off Montauk Point, l.. J., at 3
O'Clock Monday afternoon. The Chatta-
hoochee was bound for Boston She re-
ported that the storm was over when the
Gate City was seen, and that there was
nothing amisS with her.
The Gate City left Boston at ( O'Clock
Saturday afternoon Montauk Point IS
about twenty hours south of Boston, so
that, as the Chatrahoochee met the Gate
City off that point al 3 o'clock Monday
afternoon, the soUthbound vessel had lost
about twenty hours in weathering
the storm. The run down from Montauk
Point should be made under ordinary con-
ditions by the Gate City in from tifty-two
to iifty-six hours, or, in other words, she
should have arrived last night between
and Il o'clock.
The Cromwell Line steamer from New
Orleans arrived at Boston yesterday after
a very stormy passage. She reported hay,
ing passed a Savannah line steamer south
bound Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, 100
miles south of Sandy Hook, and it is
thought the vessel was the Gate City.
The report of the Joss of the Gate City,
based upon the alleged finding of piece
of wreckage with her name painted upon
it, is not credited, and there seems now
every reason to believe the vessel will
get IN some time this morning.
An Associated Press dispatch from Bos-
ton yesterday, said that there appeared 10
be little basis for apprehension as to the
safety of the steamer. in spite of the re-
port which reached there the night before
that a life preserver bearing her name had
been picked up on Cape Cod.
Agent Irrelevant said at 3 o'clock this
morning that he had heard nothing from
the steamer since the telegram stating that
she had been spoken by the Chattahoochee
off Montauk. There is a probability that
she may have gone out TO sea and a pos
that she may have suffered injury
in the storm, thus delaying her arrival
1t viii be high water at Tybee between .
ard 10 o'clock this morning. and she may
have waited for the tide No news was
received from Tybee last night The
officials do not attempt to ac-
count for her delay.

VIII Not Leave Athens Until This
Afternoon.
The Two Hundred and Second New York
Regiment of Infantry, which is to come
here from Athens, win not, as was ex-
pected, arrive to-day. Information was
received by the Plant System yesterday
that the regiment will not leave Athens
until to-day, which will put it in Savan-
nah some time tomorrow.
The Plant System is to receive the COM
mand at Yemassee, and viii bring it into
Savannah on five trains What time they

tanned as it was moi known yesterday at
just what time the regiment will leave
Athens. 1t is thought however. that il
will not be until late this afternoon that
the frst train will get away from Athens.
The Minnewaska is expected. within a
day or two to take the Two Hundred and
Second New York to Cuba. There was a
belief that the Minnewaska would get in
yesterday, but she did not 1t is now not
unlikely that the transport and the regi-
ment will arrive almost simultaneously.

CHASED BY A BATTALION.
The Victim Was Finally Run to Cow

The Victim Was Finally Run to Cow
err in Ditch.
Four hundred soldiers chasing one little
rabbit amused many visitors to the Dale
avenue camp yesterday afternoon.
A battalion of the Ninth Illinois had
been drilling and had just stacked arms
when the rabbit was sighted II was a
nervous bunny of the most diminutive
size, hardly fair victim for an ordinary
house cat. A soldier spied it just as il
started across the field. With a wild
shrek he ran toward it, closely followed
by yelling army Of his comrades. The
whoops put the rabbits ears close to its
back and it looked like the thinnest streak
of white as it bounded along seeking the
cover of some friendly bush. Around the
field the battalion and the rabbit went
the pursued lodging and turning and
copntering on its own tracks in the vain
hopes of eludng the hunters.
The chase was brief, but 1t was
exciting enough for the rabbit
to make up for lis short du.a-
ton Into a small ditch it lodged and
there, as il lay quivering and painting,
with its eyes bulging in panic-s tricken ter
ror, merciful blow from bayonet end
ed the hunt. Rabbit stew was doubtless
an acceptable addition to the menu of
the man who was first in at the death.

FELL OFF 5000 CASKS.

Spirits Turpentine Receipts show n
Marked inclination to Decrease.
During the month ending yesterday there
was a falling off in receipts of spirits tur-
pentine at this port compared with last
November, of over 5000 casks, the figures
being 27.7oS casks, against 9O,752 last year:
q 1872 in 1896 and 2S,O9 in 1885. these four
being The years of great receipts.
AT the other ports there was also fall
ing off in comparison with last Novem-
Der of probably over 1900 casks. The out
look is that December viii also show a
decided decrease, materially Strengthening
the market Last year the receipts in
December at Savannah were %, 709 casks,
and in the previous December q, 266 casks.
This year they are expected to fall 20 20,-
600 casks. or less, weather conditions hav-
ing much effect. AT the other ports the
outlook is also for decrease
After December until the new crop starts
in the receipts are light falling to less
than 1000 casks in January below 5000
in February and then moving up toward
10000 in March, when the new crop starts
TO market. There are, accordingly, but
four weeks more of large receipts in this
season and the outlook is apparently for
even higher prices than now rule

TO INVESTIGATE RIVERS DEPTH.
Mayor to Appoint Committee to OBJ
tain the Information.

Mayor to Appoint Committee to OBJ
tain the Information.
The recent reports that the Savannah
river is shoaling, has given the City Coun-
ell some concern to know the facts. With
view TO investigating the matter, Alder
man Owens introduced a resolution which
was adopted in Council last night, pro-
viding for the appointment of a committee
for this purpose. The resolution reads:
Whereas, There have appeared in the
public prints, certain statements to the
effect the Savannah river is shoaling;
And, whereas, 1t is a well known fact
that vessels drawing over twenty-four feet
of water have recently come to the city
and safely returned to sea;
Therefore, be it resolved, that a COM
mittee of four be appointed by the Mayor,
of which his honor shall be chairman, to
investigate and report The depth of the
Savannah river from the city to the sea,
and whether or not the river has shoaled
within the past two years;
Resolved, further, that the Cotton Elk
change and Board of Trade be, and they
are hereby requested to appoint like
committee to cooperate with the com
mittee from this board"
The intention is to name this commit
tee at once. AS soon as an arrangement
can be made to get the information, the
facts will be obtained. Councils position
is that the reports vitality concern the
commercial interests of Savannah, and
should, therefore. be confirmed or denied
without delay

second GeOreia Men Anxious to En-
list with Col. TayIOr's Regiment.
There are several ex-memhers of the
Second Georgia Regiment in the city who
would like TO re-enlist in the Fourth Vir-
GINA. Two or three of them went out to
the camp of the regiment yesterday, think
ing they would be able to enlist. They
had been told that the regiment was re-
cruiting, and. as they know the Virginlans
to be a fine lot of men, they decided, in
lieu of something better, that they would
re-enter the army to serve with the
Fourth.
When The men reached the camp of the
Virginians however, they ascertained that
the regiment was not taking recruits from
any commands except the Third and Sec
ond Regiments. A special order directs
that any member of these regiments may
re-enlist in the Fourth after they have
been mustered out if they so desire The
Third is now being mustered out in Vir-
ginia, and some forty recruits have all
ready been received by the Fourth that
were sent down to join il. The Second is
to be mustered out within some ten days,
and il is expected that the ranks of the
Fourth win be still further swollen by
accessions from among its discharged men,
Col. Taylor of the Fourth is very anxious
to open general recruiting Office for his
command. He has asked permission of the
war department TO do so, and il is posi-
bic that the request may be granted IN
fluences have been brought to bear by
many OF the Vrgnians to secure dis
charges, and the result is that the con-
panies are not full. 1t is desired to in
crease It's membership TO the full strength

BULL STREET PAVING COMPLAINTS.
Council VIII Probably Hear Them
Tuesday Night,

Auesuay Night.
The complaint of excessive paving as

owners will probably be heard at spe-
cial meeting of Council Tuesday night.
Acting on a communication frotn the prop
erty owners requesting that day be fix
cd, Council took a recess last night sub
ject to the call of the Mayor. AS Tues
day was apparently satisfactory to the
aldermen, il is likely the meeting will be
called then.
Mr.. Charles +. Prendergast, as chair
man of the property owners committee,
filed the following
"Gentlemen-In behalf and at the in
stance of the committee recently appoint
ed for that purpose, 1 ask that you will
fix time and place at
which we can confer with you
regarding the assessments for the new
pavement on Bull street, south of New
Houston street.
IF it suits your convenience, we would
be glad TO have next Monday afternoon

as that time will admit of the presence
of Hon. Walter p. LaRoche, who is an

latve duties make it difficult for him TO
absent himself from Atlanta just now"
