CHICkAMAUGA
Is Declared to Be Healthy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Surgeon
General Sternberg has advised against
the movement of troops from Chicka-
msuga and the abandonment of that
camp. The reports received by
him from the surgeons there state
that if the troops only take a little
better care of themselves, as in the
case OF the Eighth Mississippi, they
will have little or no trouble from sick
ness. All the state troops at Chicka-
mauga are not in a condition to under
take any long march. In case they
are moved, it is recommended that thew
go by train.

G. H. Chick has on exhibition at the
planning mill of Buchanan & Powers the
latest thing in the way of a dry wash
er. 1t weighs but 35 pounds and can
be taken apart and adjusted Unless than
three minutes. This little machine
in known as ''the mint" and by it's use
a man can accumulate mint" of
money in comparatively short time,
Mr.. Chick has machine of Acton
capacity being made and it is about
completed. All orders for these wash
ers will be filed by the FL Paso Devel-
opment company and manufactured
right here in Ell Paso. These machines
are now on exhibition at the above
place and Mr.. Chick will take great
pleasure in explaining the merits of
them to all who call.

Police Court.

Chief Lockhart returned from Calves
ton yesterday afternoon and was in
court last evening.
The first case called was that of Henry
Miller. He was arrested by Officer
Sanders for using abusive language on
the street and after Recorder Patter-
son heard the evidence against the Of
fender he said: "Let's see. How many
days from now until Saturday? Just
four. Well, I'll put you to work on
the street for the next four days." and
he did. Mr.. Miller is working the
streets today.
The next subject for consideration
was that of Geo. Pierson He has
been working the town in the interest
OF the notorious Alice Conley, and the
officers have become supremely tired
OF both him and Alice. He was arrest
ed by Officer Clements on the charge
OF vagrancy and plead mot guilty."
He had no sooner made this weak plea
than Captain Bendy was on his feet
and put questions to the degraded in
dividual which completely knocked
the props from under the mot guilty"
plea. Where are you working?" ask
ed the captain. well, have worked
at the Gem saloon. when was the
last time you worked at the GEM"
"Oh, one or two months ago. 'sYes,"
said the captain, ''three, four months
ago." and Pierson did not contradict
him. 1t was then the recorders turn
and he said in words which could not
be misunderstood "Well, I'll fine you
$40, and L only wish 1 could make it
S25, but L can not as SO is the limit for
your otfense." The officers then pro-
duced witnesses to prove that Pierson
had said that the officers were arrest
ing his sweetheart, Alice, just in order
to get money out of her for their own
use. One witness said he had heard
Pierson make the remark 1t was
Chief Lockhart's turn to speak and
there is no doubt about Pierson hear
ing what he said. "Look
here. said the chief. 81 am
am going to do with you. Now list
en-. | am going to give you 4S hours
in which to get job and go to work
or leave town. If you fail to comply
with this order l will have you arrest
ed every day on charge of vagrancy."
Pierson then said that he had 81. SO
which the officers took from him
when he was arrested, and this assert
ion brought officer Taylor to his feet
Conley told me that the money in
Persons possession did not belong to
him, but that it belonged to her."
This statement rather stag
gered the wayward George and
he hung his head. The chief accept
ed the $3.50 as part payment Of the fine
and was allowed to go and get the rest.
Alice was on the outside to meet him
when he was released and the
two drifted away to their
haunts. Alice has
been very good friend to George.
So true, in fact, that she has given
him the money she has earned in her
dishonorable work with which to gam
Bile and drink. His peaceful days in FL
Paso have become thing of the past,
however, and he will have to either
work or pull his freight.
w. U. Wheaton was arrested by
Franco for being drunk and down and
was fined 81.
Jose Federico Escobsr was captured
by Cole on blind bike and will be
tried this evening.
Antonio Robalcado, arrested by
Denniston for being drunk and down,
was assessed fine of 81.

Alger said today: The business of
war is going right along. 1t is possible
an engagement may take place at Ma

the protocol can reach them, but that
would not be strange or unusual. Many
of the most important and
noted battles of history, especially sea
fights, took place after the cessation of
hostilities was formally agreed upon,
but before the news of the fact could
be communicated to the combatsnts.

Spain Doesn't Want Cervera Back

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Spain has
refused the offer of the United States
to surrender Cervera and all the naval
prisoners at Annapolis, Portsmouth.
N. H., and the naval hospital at Nor
folk. The reason given for the refus-
sal, described by the officials here as
fantastic, is that the Spanish govern
ment did not consent to the acceptance
of the paroles of Cervera and other
officers of the Spanish fleet. Just what
connection there Is between the ap
proval by the Madrid naval authorities
of the paroles and the offer of the
United States to release the officers
and men on condition that they be tax

DRILLED IN THE NEW MANUAL.
Craig-JorGensen Gun Changes Tao
ties i'm Many Ways.

The infantry commands of the city were
instructed last night for the first time
in the new manual that has been intro
duced into the tactics governing the drills
and evolutions of the United States army
The introduction of the Craig-Jorgen-
sen gun has demanded that the manual
prescribing the method of handling the
piece be changed. The army has already
begun to receive instructions in the
changes that have been agreed upon by
the committee of officers appointed for
the purpose, and several of the state ad-
jutant generals have issued orders for the
militia in their states 10 begin practicing
the new manual.
The construction of the Craig-Jorgen-
sen gun is of such a nature as TO render
il impossible for ii to be handled salts
factorily under the same manual as the
Springfield rifle. A projection upon one
side of the piece near the hammer makes
ii almost impossible for il to be borne at
the carry" and this position is eliminat-
ed In the new manual. The striking out
of the carry" makes several other
changes necessary. The piece may be
brought TO the present from order. :"
which is itself somewhat changed In as
Stunning the right shoulder from the "or-
der, an intermediate position akin TO that
of port is assumed, the old method of
bringing the piece vertically up along the
right side being discarded.
The Savannah companies seemed to
catch on 10 the changes with ease, and II
viii not be long before they will be drill
ing as well in accordance with the new
as they were with the Old tactics.
The order of the adjutant general of
the state troops for them to famillarize
themselves with the new manual has been
MADE the subject OF supplementary orders
to the several corps in Savan-
nah from their commanding Off
GERS. These orders direct the COM
panies to take up the new manual
al once in order that they may become
familiar with it by the parade on Feb.
y, held in honor of Gen. George Wash
inston. 1t Is desired to have the trSops
of all the states perfectly familiar with
the manual by the time they are supplied
with the new guns.

WOULD Re DISCRIMINATION.
GrOcers Can't Force Roads to Give
Big Cities Lower Rates


A railroad official was asked yesterday
If the wholesale grocers Of the larger cities
of Georgia would be able TO compel the
railroads to grant a much lower freight
rate to the cities than to the towns.
The report of the meeting of the Geor-
gia division of the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' Association held recently at At
lanta, stated that the grocers had decided
to confine the wholesale trade to the larg-
er cities of the state and shut out the
smaller places by making the railroads
so fix their rates as to make it impossible
for the small towns to get goods trans
ported cheaply enough to let them engage
in the wholesale trade.
The official did not accredit the wholesale
grocers with all of the power such a dec
laration would seem to show. He said
that such discrimina ton against certain
places in favor of others was the very
thing for the prevention of which railroad
and commerce commissions were estab
lished. The commissions would step in
and take hand in the proceedings as
soon as such efforts were made A num-
Der of cases have been brought before the
commissions, both state and interstate.
lately that have resulted in those bodies
ordering corrections of just such discrim-
nations as would follow in the event the
merchants were successful in achieving
their wishes and having the roads put
rates in their favor into effect. The IA
nous section 4, concerning the long and
short haul, of the act creating the Inter
state Commerce Commission is closely con-
cerned, and many cases have recently been
adjusted on appeals brought before the
commission for correction
Merchants have sometimes been able to
make railroads come around to their way
of seeing things. This has usually been.

business to a road that is inclined to look
at the matter under dispDte in the same
way as the merchants themselves The
other roads, he said, stand 1t as long as
they can and then some kind of compro-
mise is agreed upon. This is regarded as
poor policy. however, and the road that
gives in to the merchants who demand
such concessions and favors as are deemed
unwise by the others is looked upon in
rather an unfriendiy light.

POLICE PRISON PLANS.
They Are Expected From the Archi-
tects This Week.

tects This Week.
The recent change in the committee of
Council on city lots, by which Alderman
Owens was transferred to other commit.
tees in the shift after the resignation of
Alderman Wyily, will not affect the work
already commenced at the police barracks.
The fact that Alderman Owens had thor
oughy acquainted himself with the stu
alton, and obtained an idea of what was
needed there suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
retaining his services on the committee I'M
til the improvements are finished
The plans are expected from the archi-
tects this week, after which one of the
three plans submitted will be decided on
and the contract viii be let as soon as bids
can be obtained. There is a probability
that one-story brick building will be
erected. IL will face on Habersham street,
and the walls will be constructed with a
view to building the additional story later
on.
The idea of the architects is to connect
the new building with the old guard-house
in such manner as TO render all possible
conveniences in handling prisoners to and
from the Police Court.
After awarding the contract the commit
tee believes it will take at least two
months 10 erect the building, If 1t is the
plan adODted
