CROSBY TAKEN TO TAMPA.
Turned over to Col. Brown, and a

Court Martial VIII Follow.
John Crosby, the young deserter from
the Guards who was arrested Saturday at
the instance of Capt. H. K. Bailey, in com
mand of the government reservation at
Tybee, Is again in Tampa.
When Crosby was arrested Saturday af-
ternoon he was taken down to Tybee as
stated in the Morning News, and kept
there until yesterday morning. He was
then sent away on the morning train to
Tampa In charge of a non-commissioned
officer and a private from Capt. Bailey's
company.
Crosby must have reached Tampa last
night. where he was turned over to Col
Oscar j. Brown In command of the Second
Georgia Regiment, United States volun-
teers, to be dealt with as the army reguia-
lions prescribe. 1t was first thought he
would be sent to Fort Mcpherson, but af-
forwards different course was decided on,
and he was returned to the regiment from
which he deserted
What Crosbys fate will be 1t is hard to
say. He will doubtless be court martialed.
but In such case the court martial will
have 10 be composed Of officers from tho
volunteers, probably from the same regi-
nent to which Crosby belonged. 1t seems.
therefore, that his release as the result of
the habeas corpus proceedings did him no
good.
The court martial might result in any
one OF two or three ways. He might be re-
lievod from service for certain reasons, he
might be imprisoned as a punishment for
his action or he might be returned to the
| service under certain restrictions When
Crosby left his company he was put down
on the rolls as a deserter. Now that he
has been returned he is taken up again as
a deserter returned, and will be so consid-
cred until his case has been disposed of by
| the court martial.
| 1t win be seen that there is a determin-
alton on the part OF the government 70

sidered that examples should be made OF

PROSPECT NOT SUFFICIENT.
Skilled Laborers of Naval Reserves
May Drop Out Soon.

Among mechanics, and other skilled la
borers who recently joined the naval mil
lila, there Is much dissatisfaction on ac-
count of the predicament into which 1t is
claimed they have been led. Some are in
undesirable circumstances, since they
are losing ripe opportunities in order to
await the uncertain event of the naval
battalion being called out by the govern
ment
Not a few are expressing the regret that
they misunderstood matters when they
joined the reserves. A request to Com
mander Aiken Of Brunswick was sent
Lieutenant Commander Broughton of Sa-
vannah that four crews to man mos
quito" fleet vessels be specified and sent
to Washington When this was done, it
was understood by a few to be merely a
precautionary measure, so that in case
the reserves were needed, there would be
no delay getting them ready Notwith-
standing there was nothing official about
navy officers coming here to examine or
muster In the crews named, the impress
sion previled that the naval forces were
to be called into service even before the
infantry. Nearly every skilled mechanic
who sacrificed something with the hope
he might shortly be splashing through
the waters of the Georgia coast on a gov
ly the disappointment in not even yet hav-
Ing a prospect of being called out.
There is not much at stake for those
who held positions and did not remain I'M
employed to await the outcome of naval
reserve developments. The probability IS
that skilled workmen of the reserves not
employed will embrace the first chance
that offers and not rely upon uncertain
ties.
LAS at present organized the naval re-
serves are not a success said division
officer yesterday. Enough attention is
not given them by the government in the
first place, which results in absolute I'M
preparedness. At present the organiza-
ton is maintained mostly by contributions
of enterprising officers, who personally see
to it that the equipment. armOry and other
necessaries are provided. While close at
tention is generally given, yet If salary
sufficient TO obligate the commanding Of
ficers We're attached to the positions, and
the government assumed power TO direct
the organization, better results would be
accomplished and the services of the men
therefore more in demand"

ATLANTIANS IN THE SURF,
The Central Brought Down 6O5 Pas
sengers ON Yesterday's Excursion.

sengers on Yesterdays Excursion.
Tybee had about the biggest day of the
season yesterday. In addition to the large
number Of Savannahians who We're driven
to the island on account of the extreme
heat in the city that Atlanta excursion
train brought down sos passengers. the
large number of whom spent the day, or
a part Of it on the island.
The regular train from Atlanta was
crowded to its utmost capacity, and then
the Central had to put on a special of four
teen coaches, including eight sleeping cars,
to accommodate the immense crowd that
took advantage of the low rate offered.
Perhaps the largest number of the eXcur-
siOnists came from Atlanta. 1t was pri-
marty an excursion for Atlanta clerks and
travelling men, and many of them took ad-
vantage of 1t, but there were others be-
sides these, and they filed up those four
teen coaches to Overlooking without any
trouble.
Before the arrival of the afternoon train
for which many Of the excursionists walt
ed there were just $50 Atlantans alone reg

Bohan and his clerks had all they could
possibly attend 10 III providing for the
throng of people that came all day. When
the $3.50 trains arrived, several hundred
more excurslonists and Savannahians were
added to the crowd.
Intact it was a red letter day for Tybee.
The breeze there was excellent all during
the afternoon, and the water just right 10

excursionists went back last night but the
majority of them remained In the city and

COL. GoRDoN's SUCCESSOR.
Lieut.. Col. f. p. Miller VIII Probably
| BE Chosen.

BE Chosen.
There Is a good deal of talk among the
cavalrymen as to who will be Gen. Cor
don's successor as colonel of the First
Georgia Cavalry Regiment
Upon receipt of Col. Gordon's resigna-
ton, the Governor will order an election
for a successor. The commissioned officers
of the eight troops are the only persons en-
titled to vote at this election, with the ex-
ception Of one staff officer, the inspector
of rifle practice who Is entitled TO a vote
by reason of his bcin% a signal officer.
Eacn troop holds a separate election at
ITS headquarters, superintended by two or
more commissioned officers, and two or
more justices OF the peace. The returns
are forwarded to tie adiutant general S
office, where the ballots are counted and
the result made known. AT the same time
that a colonel is chosen, any vacancies
that may be thereby occasioned, are filled.
Lieut. Col e. 2. Miller has announced
his candidacy for the colonelcy. He is a
resident of Liberty county, and has been
identified with the Georgia cavalry since
September, 1851. on Feb. %, 1884. he was
elected captain of the Liberty Independent
troop, and remained in command of that
body until Jan. 25, 1890, when he was pro-
NOTED 10 his present position.
The headquarters of the First Regiment
Cavalry has always been in Savannah, but
in the event of Lieut. Col. Miller becom-
ing colonel of the regiment, il is not uIi-
likely that WalthourVille will become the
headquarters
Maj. f. w. Meldrlm Is the ranking ma
jor, and will almost assuredly be elected
lieutenant colonel at the election that will
be ordered for the purpose of choosing a
colonel

TROUBLE OF THE FRUIT MEN.
Armour Refrigerator Lines Story of
the Situation.

AEAAouE IeIflEefRtOr Lines story OF
the Situation.
Mr.. w. W. Taberner, a prominent Off
cial of the Armour Car Line Company,
spent yesterday In Savannah.
In regard to the circular sent out by a
committee of the Georgia Fruit Growers
Association, to the effect that the Central
had made an exclusive contract with the
Armour company, thereby making the
rates for peach shipments considerably
higher than they should be, Mr.. Taberner
stated that the committee represents only
small minority of the growers, the rep
resentatiVes of over two-thFds of the en-
tire peach crop of Georgia having ratified
the CentraPs contract with the Armours,
with absolute satisfaction.
AS to the plans of this minority to con-
tract with the Continental Fruit Com
pan, for moving the crop, Mr.. Taberner
was of opinion that the Continental COM
pany lacks all facilities for handling the
business. Not possessing more than one
fifth of the requisite number of cars, and
not having the necessary capital to furn-
ish a sufficient supply Of ice, about O,OO0
tons of that commodity being required at
the very outset.
Whether the Central will agree to han
die the Continental cars remains to be
seen, but as they have entered into con-
tract with another company. possessing
the necessary capital to supply the ice and
the l,5c0 cars, 1t seems that it would only
be right to stand by the compact and re-
fuse to handle the Continental cars.

NOT AFTER COL. LEsTER,s PLACE
Rumor That du Bignon Would Like
to Be COngresSman Not Credited.

RumOr That du Bignon Would Like
to Be Congressman Not Credited.
The Macon correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution has made the somewhat
remarkable discovery that Hon. Fleming
G. duBignon is ambitious to represent the
First Georgia district in Congress. The
Constitution says:
1.-THE article from the Savannah Morn
Ing News, reproduced in the Constitution
this morning, saying that Hon. Fleming
duBignon would be a candidate two years
hence against Hon. A. o. Bacon for
United States senator and would have the
support and influence of Gov. Gambler in
the contest for the position was read with
much interest in Macon. In this connec-
ton, 1t may be mentioned in passing, that
Hon. A l.. Miller, the law partner of
Senator Bacon, was a strong advocate
of Col. Gambler in the recent primary COM
paign, and Judge Miller is chairman ot
The Bibb county delegation to the guber
Material convention.
"A well-known politician and a warm
personal and political friend of Mr.. du-
Bgnon says that Mr.. duBignon is not
looking in the near future to either the
senatorship or the gOvernorship, but that
he desires to represent the First district
in Congress whenever Congressman Lester
retires. Mr.. duBignon does not expect to
! oppose Congressman Lester, but in the
event of that gentleman's retirement Mr.
duBignon will apply for the place Mr.
duBignon would be an ideal congressman.
He would make as brilliant a record as
has been achieved by any Southern con-
gresham in years"
Mr.. duBignon is not in the city at pres
ent, but his political friends in discussing
the matter, expressed no doubt that when
called upon he would put an effectual quie-
tus on such reports. There is not the
slightest belief among them that Mr. du-
Bignon now has, or ever has had. any
| desire to succeed Col. Lester in the House
| of Representatives.

The soldiers went armed for the engage

to be attacked. When they got ready 10

curtain but on hearing the rumpus in

diers were taking the place. Chairs were
broken, windows smashed. walters and at

REASONS FOR BEING A BAPTIST
Discussed by Rev. Jordan Mt the
First Church.


Rev. John D. Jordan gave reasons in his
sermon at the First Baptist Church last
night for being a Baptist, the line of
thought following out the ideas on this
subject already discussed.
Il wish l could go into every church In
this city" he said, land distribute to each
member, slips of paper on which to write
IN ten minutes, why they are members of
that church denomination Suppose 7
should do that tonight with my own peo-
pie, | wonder how many would be willing
to sign the paper and pass it forward"
Among the reasons given were the abso-
lutte voiuntariness with which persons
joined, teaching of repentance and faith
as prerequisite to church life the method
Of baptism, holding to true idea of church
government and organism, position In re-
gard to the Lords Supper, and freedom

RIGHT RELATION TO GOD.
DR.. Fair Urges 1t as n Condition to
Answered Prayers

Rev. DR. James Y. Fair preached last
night on the subject of Daniels praying.
when the windows of his temple were OPEN
ed toward Jerusalem, and knowing that
the writing was signed, sending any man
into den of lions, who asked petition
of God within thirty days In the face 81
this decree of Darius, the Median, Daniel
prayed three times each day without any
secrecy, as a result of which he was cast
into the lions den.
DR.. Fair said that had Daniel desired.
ne could nave prayed secretly. and there
by have avoided the punishment he en-
dured. But he prayed openly, not to dis
play brave spirit, but to follow out
what he considered the proper way of ask
ing blessings.
one of the points made was that in prav-
ing for light from heaven, the windows Of
the soul must be open and there must be n
spiritual relation with God. This is illus-
trated, Dr., Fair said, by the result of
Daniels prayers.

THEY WILL CONTINUE.
Two Railroad Associations will
Effect Reorganization.

Chicago, Observation-Disclosures to
one important proviso, the presidents
of the eastern lines have agreed that
the Central Freight and Passenger as
sociations shall be maintained. The
p~roviso is that every article in the pres
which could possibly be construed as
clashing with the supreme courts de-
cisiOn in the Joint Traffic association
case should be omitted from the new
agreement. Both associations will re-
air their present titles and will adapt
themselves to their new conditions as
speedily as possible.
Thirty-six roads were represented at
the meeting, which was presided over
by Chairman Tucker of the Central
Freight association.
At the morning session a sub-commit-
tee of five was appointed to examine
the drafts of the new agreements drawn
up by the freight and passenger agents
and this committee reported it's ap-
prevail of the documents to the full
meeting in the afternoon.
The most important section of the
agreement dealing with the question Of
rate making provides hat a line shall
file with the commissioner of the asso-
citation notice in writing of such change
at least three days before the new rate
becomes effective. Each road is to fix
and determine it's own rates and to file
with the commissioner all rate sheets
for the general information of the
members of the association. The COM
missioner will act for each line under
it's instructions in seeing that rates,
rules and regulations are properly pub
lished, and will cooperate with the
compilers of individual rate sheets and
will also, when requested, compile the
joint rate Sheets.
