NEW HURRICANE SIGNALS.
Weather Bureaus Plans to Give No.
tice of Coming Storms.

Weather Bureaus Plans to Give No
tice of Coming Storms.
The weather bureau has issued a special
circular giving information about hurri-
cane warnings.
For the purpose Of giving warning of the
approach Of tropical hurricane, and also
of those extremely severe and dangerous
storms which some times pass across the
lake region and North Atlantic coast, the
bureau has adopted a special signal called
the hurricane signal, consisting of two red
flags with black centers, displayed one
above The other
This signal will be displayed at all
weather bureau offices and wlnd-signal
d fn,33ia stations on the At
the great lakes, and also at numerous
other points at sea and lake ports and
along the coasts mentioned. No distinc-
tive night signal will be used.
In a number of instances arrangements
have been made with steamship and
steamboat lines to display this signal on
their vessels Special efforts have been
put forth to provide for the dissemina ton
OF these warnings in sections beyond the
reach of telegraphic communication, along
the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. and
the adjacent islands, and to this end ar
engagements have been made in many of
the most exposed and thickly settled of
these localities whereby tugs, pilot boats
revenue cutters, or other steam vessels will
pass through the waters in the vicinity
displaying the hurricane signal by day and
firing rockets by night, and blowing their
whistles to attract attention thereto
Among the districts thus referred to may
be mentioned Galveston bay and vicinity
Mobile bay and vicinity, the West Florida
coast from Tampa bay south, and the
coasts, islands and bays of Virginia. North
and South Carolina and Georgia. The flag
signal will also be displayed from the Fry
ing Pan Shoals Hghtship off the North
Carolina coast, warnings being conveyed
thither by tug from Southport n. c., the
Cross Rip lightship in Nantucket sound,
and the lightships Sandy Hook and Scot
land, off New York Among the steamship
lines displaying the flag signal may be
mentioned the Southern Pacific, Pacific
Mail, Cromwell, Munson, Mallory, Plant
and Ward lines.
The rockets used by the bureau to
herald the approach of a hurricane will
be red meteor rockets, which ascend to
the hight of 300 or 400 feet and emit a
brilliant red star which burns to the
ground or to the waters edge. Rockets
similar to these, and suitable for use
by citizens who may wish to organize a
system of warnings by means of rocket
stations may be purchased for about ST. so
per dozen.

savannah Benevolent Association
Holds It's Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Savannah
Benevolent Association was held at the
court house yesterday afternoon, and in
spite Of the heavy rain and extremely in
clement weather, there was a large atten-
dance of the members.
President j. H. Johnston, who was in the
chair, made his annual report to the as
ISOLATION, which was received and order
ca spread upon the minutes. Among other
Things President Johnston said:
The year just past has been one of ex-
IRENE healthfulness to our people, which
should be matter Of congratulation, for
there was considerable alarm felt when
fever was announced, last summer in the
CUR cities. There was some alarm felt
some weeks ago when. the fact Of a few
cases OF fever was telegraphcd from Nc
Henry, small town fifteen miles from
Ocean Springs, the seat Of yellow fever
last season. The last report from there
was that the fever had been stamped out
In that section. New Orleans, however,
feels considerable alarm, for a strict quar-
antine is kept up against all the Gulf cities
and towns at this time
Two members of the board, Messrs.
George p. Walker and Thomas Screven
have left the city, having enlisted in the
army. No members were elected in their
stead, and no action was deemed neces-
sary."
President Johnston also referred to the
finances of the association which are now
in extremely good shape, and referred the
society to the treasurers report for a de-
tailed statement of the condition of af-
fairs in this direction.
A motion was made and carried provid-
ing that the old officers of the association
be reelected to serve for the ensuing year,
and the secretary was instructed to cast
the ballot of the association for these OFF,
GERS as follows:
President-J. H. Johnston.
Secretary-G. b. Prtchard.
Treasurer-George C. Freeman.
Directors-J. NJ. Solomons, r. F. Har-
mon, George p. Walker and Thomas
Screven.
On motion of Mr. j. M. Solomons, the
members Of the association We're each au-
thorized TO draw two more copies of the
history of the association, written by Col.
John Screven. On motion of Mr. r. B.
Reppard it was decided to send a copysof
this history to the Emory College Libra

The following committee was appointed
to prepare and present to the association
suitable resolutions relating 10 the death
OF Honorary Member and ex-President
John f. Wheaton: Messrs. r. b. Rep
pard, J. H. Estin and Clement Saussy.
The association has had no calls upon
Its exchequer this year, and it does not
now seem likely that 1t will have, though
there is no telling what may happen. 1t
is in splendid condition from every
standpoint, and the members always con
tinue to take the old-time interest in its
meetings and affairs.

weather has been even worse than it Is

and most Of the boys had their tents bank

not taken this precautlon had a river run

Guard duty and the other necessary work
has been a nasty task. We have found
the wet side of a soldiers life by far the
most unpleasant 1t is far worse than

Lieut.. Barrow reports that the men are
fretting over their long stay at Tampa
They have been there seven weeks now

KINKS IN THE TAX LAW.
Hsilro"d Commission Nay straighten
Out Two of Them,

There has been some talK of appealing
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
for relief on interstate business In the
event that the Georgia Railroad Commits

boundaries of the state the express and
telegraph companies cannot exact the
stamp tax from their patrons

interest of railroad companies
The Georgia Railroad Commission
though, has jurisdiction over both of this
class of corporations. AT its hearing on
next tuesday some able arguments are
expected on the intent and declaration
of the law as regards the tax on tele-
grams and express receipts. The decision
OF the Georgia Commission will be await
ed with much interest as it NAV affect
action in other states having similar
bodies. In Texas the railroad commission

DON'T WANT ANY CHANGE,
Sons of Veterans Here Think Their
Name Is Good Enough.

Name Is Good Enough.
The members of Barlow Camp, Sons of
Confederate Veterans, of Savannah, do not
favor the proposed change in the name of
the organization, as far as can be learned.
and it is quite probable that the votes
of the delegates from this city win be cast
against the proposition at the coming
meeting at Atlanta.
The proposition is made that the associ-
alton be termed the Confederate Sons
Association" Mr. Joseph Pelham of At
lanta. a member of Commander in Chief
Smyths staff, has been al work on the
project for some time, and is said to have
secured quite a following. His object seems
to be to preserve in the associations Ini-
tials the letters that are inseperable with
the history of the South. c. S. A. being the
abbreviation for Confederate States Of
America.
II am opposed to that or any other
change IN the title of the organization"
said Commander Hugh McLaws of Barlow
Camp, yesterday, Il can see no reason why
the present tile should give way to an
other. Ii is expressive, and tells every one
exactly what the society's character is
Sons of Confederate Veterans seems to
be "a better name than the one which is
suggested. 1t sounds better and 1t tells its
story better. I do not think this idea of
a change win meet With any approval
here" INt

Physician.
There is very little said about the alder
man Council may elect tonight. No one
has been decided upon yet, but the prob
ability is a candidate viii be offered ac-
ceptable to the majority.
The other vacancy filled by the election
of Alderman d. r. Thomas carried with it
the responsibility of serving on the i'm
portant committees, so that whoever is
next decided on will not have reason 10
decline because of assuming too many du .
ties. No one is apparently laundering
after the office, probably on account of
the short time until another administra-
ton will assume the reins of government,
which will necessitate stepping down. or
running again at the coming municipal
election.
Besides the election of an alderman.
Council will also elect a city physician.
There are about a half dozen applications
filed with the Clerk of Council by young
physicians, some Of whom have circulated
among the aldermen in an effort to get
their support. There is a salary of $3.50 at
cached to tho position, and 1t is generally
sought by the younger physicians.
There are few matters to come up be
sides the elections, which may make Abe

AN EXPENSIVE PRISONER.

ADe small In Jail for Three Years,
Has Cost the County Considerable.
1t has been figured out that Abe Small,
the thrice convicted murderer of Police
man Jansen Neve, has cost Chatham
county somewhere in the neighborhood
of $500, and perhaps it will run up $1,000.
There is no way of getting at the exact
amount of the expense.
The most expensive feature of the case
has been the per diem of jurors, which
already amounts to about $500. Small has
been In Jail now for three years and has
had three trials. Each time it was nee
essary to summon about 100 jurors, which
costs the county just 500 or 50 a day for
each juror. The trial usually lasted three
days, and twelve of the jurors received $4S
extra each time. Juries in murder cases
have to be kept confined and the meals
for them cost about $50 a day.
This, however, only begins the expense.
There are numerous items in connection
with such a case, such as fees of court
officers, expenses of getting witnesses
who live at distance and there are sew
eral such witnesses in this case. expense
of keeping Small at the jail, and other
items which count up rapidly.
on the side of the state the case was
first taken up by Solicitor General w. w
Fraser, and afterwards by Solicitor Cen
eral w. w. Osborne. Messrs. T. p. Rave
mel and Charles N. West first defended
Small, but Mr.. West has retired from the
case and Mr.. George A. Mercer, Jr., is
now associated with Mr. Ravenel.
The case is now before Judge Falligant
on a motion for new trial. Small was
convicted for the third time several
months ago. and the court is now asked
to grant him a new trial. In case a new
trial is refused it win be appealed to
the Supreme Court. Twice the Supreme
Court has granted new trial, and il Is
probable that the case will dgaln go be-
