sooTcHMEN BID GOD SPEED.
To ST. Andrews Departing Secretary
and Treasurer

Mr.. John Fowler was hidden farewell
and God speed last night by ST. Andrews
Society at special meeting called by
President John r. Young.
Mr.. Fowler has been secretary and
treasurer of the society for number of
years, and the members felt that upon
the eve of his departure from the city to
engage in business elsewhere it would lie
no more than proper to express their regret
upon the necessity that causes him to
leave them.
The meeting was held in the rooms of
the society, over the Chatham Bank.
There was a very good attendance, and
Notwithstanding the fact that the MEM
bers had gathered to bid one of their best
beloved brothers good-by, a good time was
had.
Mr.. Fowler rendered his resignation as
secretary and treasurer some time ago,
when it became evident to him that hts
departure from the city would be mat
ter Of necessity. The society was 10th
TO lose him from It's membership and the
resignation was not accepted in the hope
that something would intervene TO keep
Mr.. Fowler here. Upon his notifying Mr..
Young that he would have to leave before
the time of the regular monthly meeting
the latter decided to call the meeting in
order to accept the resignation and elect
a successor.
President Young presided over the meet
ing. He stated the business for which II
had been called and referred in eloquent
terms to the associations that had endear-
ed Mr.. Fowler TO all of those present ana
expressing the regret they felt in giving
him up The words OF the president were
received with prolonged applause. toast
was proposed to the health and eternal
prosperity to the departing, but nor de-
parted, secretary and treasurer" and this
was received with the zest of feeling that
had prompted it.
Mr.. Fowler was touched by the express
sons of his friends and responded with
a speech, in which he assured them that
their memory would ever be with him and
that he would treasure the years spent
among them as the dearest of his exist
ence. He thanked them for the neyer~
failing courtesy and Kindness with which
the administration Of his official duties
had always been received. The response
was received with applause.
The election Of a successor to MIR. Fow-
Ter was next in order, and this resulted n
Mr.. w. c. Train becoming secretary ana
treasurer. The election of Mr.. Train was
unanimous, his popularity in the society
being evinced by the manner in which
congratulations were showered upon him.
The members spent an hour in the en-
joyment of the songs in the Scotch in
which some of them excel. Stories were
told, and a spirit of comaraderie and good
will reigned. The meeting was closed
with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."

TWO WITNESSES HEARD FROM.
Continued from Eighth page.)

improving Altamaha river Darien harbor,
Jekyl creek and the inside water route to
Fernandina, dated 1895; original papers
pertaining to the proposals and contract
for improving the harbor of Savannah,
Ga, dated Sept. 8, 1886; and the original
papers pertaining to the proposals and
contract for improvements on the harbor
at Cumberland sound, dated Oct s, 1896.
With one exception the contracts mem
toned were all with the Atlantic Con-
tracing Company.
Mr.. Mccarthy also described the papers
and correspondence relating to what is
known as the Paulding case, the origin of it
being a letter from Gouveneur Paulding,
one of the executors of the PARROT estate.
Another envelope, the contents of which
were identified, contained a number of pa
pers and memoranda relating to
the Improvement of Cumberland
sound and Savannah harbor. The de
Tense had no questions. Col. Barr said
he would take charge of the papers and re-
turn them to Mr.. McCarthys office when
he had finished with them. Col. Barr
then stated to the court that he had moth
ing further to present a that time.
THE court is aware of the fact" Col.
Barr said, that l have had a short time
IN which to prepare this case. 1t has
been quite embarrassing to me TO be call
ed into such an important case without
any preparation, ana OF IL knew nOtnlnS
until last Friday, in Washington, l re I'D
the charges for the first time. 1t was
Sunday afternoon before / got hold of any
of the other papers. l did not feel justi-
fled in asking for any further delay, in
justice to the accused, and on account of
the magnitude of the case, 1 am COM
PEELED to ask the indulgence of the court.
There is large number of witnesses, and
it is important TO present them in a man
ner that will be proper l sail conduct
the case with all possible speed, and trust
the court WILL for the reasons stated, be
indulgent.'
Mr.. Charlton stated that he thoroughly
appreciated the position of Col. Barr, and
said that Capt. Carriers counsel would
cooperate with him in anything that he
desired.
Gen. Otis then stated that the court
would adjourn until 10 o'clock this morn
ing, but on request of Col. Barr mada
the hour 100 O'Clock.
THAT is good court" remarked Sa-
MAMMALIAN, who has known something of
military life and affairs. They are many
of them oder officers who have passed be-
yond that point in life where they are
liable to be stirred by any petty jealousies.
They all look like men of sound judgment
who will give careful consideration 10 all
the matters that come before them, and
their decision whatever it may be, I am
satisfied will command respect. 1t is as
fine court as have ever seen assembled,
and it may be said that neither the gov
eminent nor the accused need fear in the
least for their rights"

Y. VI. c. AS WON by TWO RUNS
Defeated the Y. VI. IL. AS at Indoor
Ball IL to 10

The Y. NJ. c. A. team defeated the
Y. NJ. II. AS at indoor base BAH at the
Y. NJ. C. A. hail last night. The score
was 70 to 1G The Y. NJ. c. A. team had
the game well in hand in the sixth inning
and was never headed, although its fol-
lowers were given a scare in the last in
ming, when the y. NJ. II. A boys came
near pulling the game out of hole
Notwithstanding the score was large the
game was exciting and the interest did
not lag, The Y. NJ. c. A. s won on heavy
batting and the inability of the Z. NJ. II.
A. boys to hit Thompson.
Belsinger was in the box for the Y. NJ.
H. AS and proved an easy mark The
Y. NJ. c. A. batsmen hammered the ball
all over the hall, piling up a total of
fifteen hits, nine of which were gallery
hits. The Y. Nj. c. A. boys were fortu-
nate also in punching their hits.
In the first inning the game was stop
ped for several minutes because of dis
cussion as to the illegality of Thompson
delivery. Umpire Saussy decided that
the first two balls pitched to the V NJ H.
A, batsman were delivered in a manner
not allowed by the rules. The batsman
took his base but there was no further
trouble on this score. Thompson pitched
a good game, striking out twelve men
The Y. M. II. A. boys got seven hits, but
they were scattered
Both teams fielded eXcelently Taking
ing the chances they had into consdera-
ton the Y. M. H. A. boys probably delded
the better game. Kayton and King both
caught well. j. Elton. for the Y Nj. c.
A, and Smith, for the Y, NJ. II. A, carried
off the fielding honors.
Belsinger went to pieces In the sixth in
ming and nine men went to bat for the
Y. M. G. A. They got six hits, four of
which were in the gallery, and scored five
runs.
The Y. NJ. Fl. A, boys played an uphill
game after this inning and made a great
effort TO pull out in the eighth and ninth
innings, but 1t was not to be-

Mr.. ADLER MADE PRESIDENT

CHATHAM BANK.

Given the Retiring President for
ufs Four Years of Service-The
Ne1v President of the Chatham One
of the Youngest of Savannah's
Leading business Men.
# is now President Leopold Adler of the
CHATHAM Bank. This is the result of the
o.tion of the annual meeting of the board
Of directors of the bank yesterday. Mr..
adler succeeds Mr.. w. w. Chisholm, who
has held the office for the last four years.
The change was somewhat of a sur
,rise in financial circles, few even of the
hanks patrons having any other idea on
the subject other than that Mr.. Chisholm
u,o,,}d continue as president. There has
been a sentiment among the directors for
some time, however iTsffS@or of young
or and more aggressive man at the head
If the corporation. This sentiment crys-
tallzed upon Mr.. Adler, who has been
me of the directors of the bank since its
inception.
The board met yesterday at IL O'clock
,r was soon evident how matters stood.
MIR Chisholm voluntarily retired from the
contest and moved the unanimous cleo
,ion of Mr.. Adler which was agreed to-
The other officers of the bank were then
reelected, as follows:
Vice President-Capt. Charles S. Ellis.
Cashier-W. F. McCauley.
Assistant Cashier-H. A. Charlton.
A vote of thanks was rendered the retir-
ing president by the board for his con-
etant and faithful care of the interests of
the bank during the period of his presi-
dency.
Mr. Leopold Adler, the new president
of the bank, is perhaps the youngest of
Savannahs leading business men. Only
80 years of age he is the head of the larg-
est retail establishment in this section of
the country and by intelligent enterprise
and business activity he has made his

name household word in Savannah and
the surrounding country. In selecting one
who will direct large financial interests
and who by his intelligence and enterprise
Is expected TO aid materially in Increasing
the business of the institution, the direc-
tors could hardly have made a more jul
dicious selection than Mr.. Adler. His in
tegrity is commensurate with his enter

question it,
Mr.. Adler has had a brilliant business

commercial experience with the firm of
A. h. Altmayer & Co. in New York in 1878
In 1885 he was admitted to partnership
IN the business of the same firm in Savan-
nan. In 1892 he purchased the interest of
MI A4tmayer in the business, and has
since conducted it alone He already had
the largest retail store on Broughton
street, but in 1895 he secured control of
the large building adjoining then oceu-
pea by Ludden & Bates, and connected
the two buildings into one mammoth es-
ia phshment. That his enterprise is appre-
GATED by the people of Savannah Is evil
denced by the large crowds which daily
throng his salesrooms.
Mr., Adler has been a director of the
Chatham Bank since its organization as
savings bank in 1889. 1t was on his mo-
uon' adopted at a stockholders meeting
SIX years ago, that it was decided to enter
upon general banking business. He is
