THE SECOND REGIMENT 7
POOR FELLOWS NEVER SMELT POW
DER IN THIS WAR.
The Regiment has been Ordered out Of Service
The Boys are to Mobilize at Raleigh
Within Ten Days.

Washington, Sept. 2.-(SpeciaD-Not-
withstanding former statements to the
contrary the Second Regiment of North
Carolina volunteers goes out of service
Orders to this effect were issued today
and are final.
The regiment is allowed about ten
days to get equipment and other trap
pings together and is then to mobilize ut
Raleigh. III equipments arms, tents,
etc. must be accounted for and returned
to the government. September fifteenth
is thought probably the day for mus
tering out.
The Regiment will be mustered out
with two months furlough and pay for
all.
1t was told at the Department that the
First would remain in service for some
length CT time. 1t is said in the Depart
ment that the promise recently made to
retain the Second regiment in service did
not prescribe time, but simply agreed
not to order out in the first list. Lieut.
enant COnrad's investigation will be over
looked as he is thought to be innocent OF

wreckage lines the coast, indicating
heavy losses at sea.
The steamship City of Birmingham
arrived from New York this morning,
and other vessels arriving during the
day, reported that a short distance off
the coast the storm was not felt, indi-
eating its limited area.
OF the five lines of railroads entering
here the only outlet is by the Plant
System south to Jacksonville. The Cen
tral of Georgia, Georgia and Alabama,
Florida Central and Peninsula, and the
Charleston and Savannah railroads are
practically abandoned within the storm
radius. No mails except local mails
have been received for two days. Three
carloads of Florida mail are awaiting
an outlet north Bushes is practically
at Il standstill owing to the blocking of
the railroads.
For fifty miles west of Savannah the
country is practically under water. On
the Central of Georgia railway the
track is washed in places all the way
from Savannah to Macon. 1t is esti-
mated that at least twenty miles of
track are under water. in some places
nearly two feet deep The railroads are
unable to form any estimate of the
damage or to repair the tracks until
the water falls.
Instead of falling, however, the water
is rising. The 0conee, Ogeechee. Ock-
mulgee and Altamaha rivers and their
tributaries are overfOwed, and the water
is flooding the country.
The same conditions exist on the
Georgia and Alabama and Florida Cen
trail and Peninsula roads. An effort was
made tonight to get train north over
the Charleston and Savannah railroad,
but it was abandoned. The losses of the
railroads are yet beyond estimate.
The condition of the people in the
small towns and in the sparsely settled
sections of the flooded country, if the
floods continue and communication is
not soon re-established, will be serious.
There has been great loss of stock in
the country, and the floods from the
upper part of the State are likely to
do still greater damage. All the high
lands in the flooded districts are filled
with wild game, which has taken refuge
from the water.
In Savannah the meat supply is about
exhausted. All of the cold storage
warehouses are empty, and there is no
likelihood of further supplies being re-
ceived for several days.
Taking the losses in Savannah, where
a minor part of the damage was done,
and those sustained by the rice planters,
the growers of cotton, by farmers gen
orally and by railroads and shipping,
it will be found that an estimate of
$1.0O0.OO0 damage will be reasonably
within bounds.

TO SEPARATE FROM HIS DORA
General Clay's Petition For a Separa-
ton From His Girl Wife.

louisville Ky, September "A spe-
cial to the Evening Post from Rich

'"The petition for divorce filed by
General Cassius NJ. Clay, to secure a
legal separation from his girl wife
Dora Richardson Clay recites that the
plaintiff has treated the defendant in
all respects as dutiful and faithful
husband should. and that he has fully
met and discharged all the covenants
Of said marriage contract, but that the
defendant did, without fault on the part
of the plaintiff, abandon him on July
3rd, and has since lived separate and
apart from him."

he intends to provide Il liberal alimony
The defendants answer admits all the

Studebaker's "Tigers," the One Hun
dred and Fifty Seventh Indiana volun-
teers, reached indianapolis from the
South this morning. The regiment left
its camp at Fernandina, Fla, last Tues
day evening. The soldiers were given an
enthusiastic reception by the citizens.
Colonel Studebaker said
This is not the same regiment | took
away from Indianapolis last May. The
personality is the same, but it is made
M of Il different lot of men. They have
fever in their very bones; they are hun
gry and their strength is wasted. 1t is
all due to the cess-pools in which we liv-
ed in the South.
Port Tampa charge the condition
of my men to it and TO the conditions
surrounding it. For eight weeks we
were in camp there, exposed to the few
ers and the unrelenting sun of Florida.
We have not beer in the shade of a tree
since last June. 1t was Il happy day for
us when we received orders to leave
there But when we moved we did not
better our condition much. The fevers
followed us. and day by day the regiment
became weaker At Fernandina we had
the same difficulty to obtain proper food.
The United tSates authorities seemed
willing enough to provide MS with what
we needed, but ternandina is such an out
OF the way place that it is difficult to
reach it. One railroad runs to the town.
when men who have been investigat-
ing the condition of the Florida camp
say we have not been in actual need Of
food and medical assistance they do not
know what they are talking about. My
men cannot march in straight lines on
account of their weakness. They can
not carry their rifles at the right posi-
ton. They cannot march any distance
without many of them having to drop out
of the ranks to rest. | think that our
coming home has saved the lives of hun
dreds in the regiment"
The officers of COolnel Studebaker'S s
regiment hesitate about fixing blame ON
any particular government officer. They
say they are still in the service and Il
court martial might meet the man who
talks too much.

er of Devils Island.
General PellieuX has rendered his resig-
nation, but it was withdrawn on the
inSistance of General Zurlinden.
1t was announced this afternoon by
the Patrie that several officers Of the
general staff have decided to resign
shortly and divulge all they know of the
entire Dreyfus affair. One officer de-
clares that war will inevitably follow as
a result of the revelations which will be
made regarding the Vaccinations of an
other government.
Nj. Lasies, a member OF the Chamber
of Deputies, had an interview this morn
ing with the Minister of War, NJ. Cavaig-
nae, on the recent developments in the
Dreyfus case. The Minister reiterated
that he was convinced OF the guilt of
the prisoner, but added that at the same
time he was determined to punish all who
had been derelicit in their duty.
The deputy afterward declared that so
long as NJ. Cavaignac was Minister of
War there would be no revision of the
Dreyfus case, adding that in the event
of revision the trial could not again
be held behind closed doors, and as it
would be impossible to produce publicly
some of the documents, the acquittal Of
Dreyfus must certainly result from re-
opening of the case.
