KNIGHTS RETURN WITH HONORs.
savannah PythiHns EIated With
Their augusta Trip.

The Knights Of Pythias who attended
the meeting Of the Grand lodge at Augusta
returned YESTERDAY feeling happy over
their trip and the llurels won in the prize
drill by Teutonia company, commanded by
Capt George WHITE. The prize is a recog-
milton of untiring efforts on the part of the
company to distinguish itself.
Savannah would probably have taken
other prizes had the Uniformed Rank been
able to have turned out more companies
As 1t was many of the Knights were I'M
able to go for various reasons, which les
sened the ranks and placed abe companies
below the required number. There was
quite delegation that attended the meet
ing, all of whom Gle not of the Uniform
ed Rank. All unite n praisins the Knights
OF Augusta for the heary reception extend
ed, which was OF the kind to add merri-
ment to the occas ION.
scarcely ever did a jolly lot leave on
such a trip, however without returning
after having had more or less fun, either
at their own expense or that of some rne
else. It is not a mater of surprise, there
rore, that the friends of Lieut.. William
Taylor, of Georsia Company No. i, are
telling of degree formed in his name, the
secret of which cannot well be gwen At
any rate, Lieut.. Taylor was among the
hrst to go to the open house for the visit
ing knights, which was around
on Broad street. The first thing he took
to was a plate of cheese, of the variety
that enjoys being heard as wei as sem.
He got the other Knights about nim. but
their combined appetiies We're unequal 70
the cheese. Observing it "out-rankeI" all
the other officers in the room, it was de-
cded to form a desree in its honor
Several Knights were selected al a COM
mittee to confer. They retired and soon
returned, reporting to the large assembly
that the rgadier-generals, majors, colo
nels captains pTivates and all should take
the special degree. The profoundest secre-
cy was maintained, but since the oavau-
nan Knights returned it has leaked out
that the password is "C-h-e-e-z-e" No
one could enter the room where refresh
ments were served unless they took the
degree and could give the password. In
fact, those who failed to take the degree
were left In Augusta, as the committee
stood at the car door as the Knights were
taking the train, and required that all
should give the password.

FIRE COMMISSION ORGANIZED.

Mr.. Cunningham Made Chairman and
Mr.. Hull Vice Chairman.
The fire commissioners met at head
quarters last night for the purpose of
organizing, talking over the situation ana
getting themselves in readiness to trans
act business. All of the commissioners,
Mr. T. NJ. Cunningham, Jr, Mr.. ]. J.
Carolan and Mr.. r. NJ. Hull with Fire
Chief Mcguire, We're present.
Mr. Cunningham was elected chairman
and Mr.. HUI vice chairman. The COM
missioners appointed Chief Mcguire secre-
tary. Little business was discussed, and
none with reference to the policy to be
carried out by the new board in the man
agement of the department It will re-
quire some time to acquaint the new mem
bers with what IS needed, so that what
ever changes are made may be in accord
ance with good judgment
At the next meeting the present vacan-
cies, on account of eight firemen leaving
for the war. will probably be filled. There
have not been as many applications filed
as was at first expected, probably on ac-
count of the impression the commission
ers have left that they were going to act
with little haste. 1t is predicted old rup-
lures will be laid aside and that the de-
parment win be carried on effectively.
On thing sure to receive attention from
the new commissioners at an early day is
the unreliable striking of tho bell at the
central station, which has been out of or
der for some time. There has been a time
in its history when it struck the boxes
accurately, but for some reason it has re-

VIII Meet To-day.
The seventy-sixth annual diocesan con-
vention of the Episcopal Church Of Geor-
gia ended at II 80 o'clock last night. Inc
same delegates viii be called together
again.probably in Septemberto finally pass
upon the division Of the diocese. The time
and place of the adjourned session VIII Dc
designated by Bishop Nelson.
But few of the delegates Will continue in
the city over tomorrow. Many clerical
and Law members left on the night trains,
and Of the remainder few win find 1t pos
slble to remain and participate in the re
opening exercises at Christ Church to-
morrow.
There was but one expression as 10 the
arrangements made by St Johns parish
for the convention. It's hospitality was
warmly praised. Nowhere, the delegates
stated. had a convention been made the
reeipients Of more charming social atten-
tons than here. nowhere had its needs
been so carefully considered and so thor
ouehly provided for. a delegate from At
iauta expressed the sentiments Of all when
he said to a member Of st. Johns parish;
"You must let US have your committees
and your young ladies for st. philips
parish next year. Only then could we hope
to equal the impression you have made
The words of commentator, and the
evident pleasure derived by the convention
from their services, We're ample reward TO
the various committees of st. Johns par
tsh for their jealous, unwearying and con-
tlnued labors of preparation and execution
of arrangements that were carried
through with the most gratifying results
The convention was one Of the most i'm
portant held by the diocese in some years.
AS a usual thing the business transacted
is of a routine character. This year the
adoption of the revised constitution, the
consideration and adoption of revised
canons, the election of delegates TO the
general conference, and the report OF the
special committee on division of the
diocese. served to make the proceedings
of far more interest and Importance than
usual.
The delegation to the general convention
is composed as follows:
Rev. A. C. p Dodge. Jr., Rev. c. H.
Strong, Rev. f. f. Reese, Rev. A. w
Knight, Mr.. T. d. Harrison, MIR. e. H.
Miller Mr. r. b. Bullock, Mr. J. II. Els
till
The general convention begins its ses-
sions at Washington the first week in Oc-
tober and viii continue for probably three
weeks. There are siXty-siX dioceses in the
United States. All the bishops will be
present and there viii be 1893 clerical and
1913 lay delegates. The general convention
is held every three years.
1t has been probably fifteen years since
the canons of the diocese of Georgia were
revised. II will doubtless be as long
period before those adopted last night are
subjected to a complete revision again. The
work has been a tedious one and the de-
sire is to continue constitution and canons
unchanged for many years TO come.

CAPT. BLUM GIVES 1T UP.

Month or More Extra Time in
ONCE.
Capt. Henry Blum has practically given
up now any hope of the appointment of
his son, Mr.. Harry Blum, Jr., as post
master OF Savannah, since recent reports
state that the confirmation of Mr.. JOS f.
Doyle is expected shortly
Numerous efforts in behalf of Mr. Blum
have been made by his friends in savan-
nah, who consider that he has been quite
badly treated, since his nomination was
sent in by the President and he was con-
tirmed unanimously by the Senate; but
these efforts do not appear to have been
Of any avail, according to the most re-
cent reports
Capt. NJ. J. Doyle is confident now that
his sons confirmation will come within
short time. The members of the Georgia
delegation have accepted tx situation
phllosophically, for they have little to co
with appointments and as has been shown
objections from them do not count for
much. With the exception of one or two
of the Georgia delegation, however, it's
members have kept hands off in the con
test between Mr.. Blum and Mr.. Doyle.
The support of one or two members of
the delegation was given to Mr.. Blum,
but since the situation has taken the
change it has, they have accepted the
situation quietly and said nothing. The
Senate has a good Republican majority,
and it as generally considered that Hanna
has things pretty much his own way.
Mr.. Doyle is still in Washington and it
is expected that he will remain there until
he Is confirmed and makes arrangements
with regard to his bond AS soon as the
bond is arranged the commission will be
forthcoming, and that will be the end of
the matter.

A number of savaunahians, just re-

nation to become good soldiers are appar-

was purchased several days ago bv Col
Garrard in Atlanta. Col a. r. Lawton
and Adjt. Davis Freeman are also well
