Opinions as to His Fitness for
BrIEadier General.
Col. Ed. L. Wight of Albany, whose
name is being prominently mentioned in
connection with the candidacy for briga-
der general of the volunteer troops from
Georgia, Is a former Savannahian. He
lived in this city some eighteen years ago,
and was cotton buyer for Baldwin & Co.
Many citizens remember him.
Col. Nights qualifications for the posi-
ton he seeks are scoffed at by some mill
tary men, while others say he would fill ii
admirably. There seems to be a strong
probability of his securing the place. but,
from expressions that have been heard, it
does not seem that his appointment, If
made. will be altogether satisfactory. There
are others who look upon Col Wight with
favor, and they say he would be as good a
man as could be secured in Georgia
A business man, who knows Col. Wight
well, says he has many qualifications that
fit him for the office. He believes he would
make a good general. Col. Wight Is about
81 years old, looking even younger than he
really is, and Is of medium stature. He has
a clear ruddy look about the face, and, on
the whole, Is a soldierly-looking man. He
is senior member of the firm of Wight and
Wessolowski Wholesale grocers and
bankers of Albany. He is a man of means.
and is president of the Wight & Wesso-
lowski Bank of Albany. He is Mayor of
Albany, and in politics is a strong free sill
yer Democrat.

FOR TALKING BACK TO THE CHIEF
Police Sergeant Fined So by the
Commission.

Commission.
Tie Police Commission met at the bar
racks last night to investigate cases dock
eted against several members Of the force
on various minor charges. Chairman
Karow being absent in New Orleans left
Commissioners Vetsberg and Gleason to
conduct the Investigations.
For the first time since he has been at
the head Of the department Chief McDer-
mott found il necessary 40 have one OF
the sergeants before the commission for
characterization. The investigation of the
charges against him involved the exami-
nation of a number OF witnesses, including
policemen and other sergeants. BesideJ
the charge of insubordination against the
officer. 1here was also a charge for neg
lecting duty. When the evidence was
heard the commissioners took tthe case
under advisement and decided 10 fine the
sergeant $25 for insubordinat on and s. for
neglect Of duty. A policeman was also
given a nominal fine for a slight violation
Of department rules.
Speaking of the INSTRUMENTATION case
Chief McDermott said that he regretted to
proceed against one OF his men because in
the main, they are duuful and adhere
closely to instructions. The officer made
some remark to the chief after being adj
dressed by him, not considered altogether
proper for an inferior officer in the depart
ment. There is no unpleasant feeling over
the matter, however, Notwithstanding the
reprimand is somewhat severe.

stein for running carts in the city without
the necessary license from the city. The
men produced huckster's badge. but that
did not satisfy Ihe marshal.

or wagon is used the license required by
the city is $780,
Goldstein was rather unruly when ap.

uniformed, wanted him to exhibit author

more rational, however, and on being ad-

to go to the barracks without stubborn
ness. The cases were placed on the in
formation docket for Police Court this
