DIcYoLIs1es CASE CONTINUED.
l.. L. Burpee TO he Tried by Recorder
for Reckless Riding.


for Reckless Riding.
Because of the absence of witnesses L.
L. Burpee, charged with reclIlessly rid
ing a bicycle while intoxicated and run
ming over lady at the corner of Bull and
York streets, was continued in Police
Court yesterday. Burpee will probably
have a hearing to-day.
Burpee is foreman for Mr.. p. ]. Kier-
nan. There has never been anything
against the young man, and the charge
that he was drunk at the time Of the ac-
cident is strongly denied by his friends.
He does not deny running into the lady,
but claims to have used every possible
means to avoid injuring when an accident
was imminent by jumping from his bike.
The injury to the lady is by no means
serious and she will likely appear to-day.
There is no question but the accident was
unavoidable after Burpee realized he was
so near the lady. The usual points con-
sidered by the Recorder, however, are as
to whether the required precautions were
observed, such as riding at a moderate
speed and sounding the bell for the safety
of pedestrians.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. NEW YORK, NIX.
SAVANNAH a. RENDEZVOUS POINT
Military officers Want to Know Why
1t Is Ignored.


1t Is Ignored.
Why can Savannah not be made the
point of rendezvous for the Georgia troops
that are to serve in the war with Spain?
That is what some of the military Off
GERS want to know. and the city seems
10 have better claims than Atlanta.
Most of the soldiers viii be drawn from
Savannah Mastering the commands into
the service of the United States will be
an undertaking of some moment, and the
officers say it should be done here. 1t
would be much easier for the commands
from other places to be sent here, as they
are fewer in number from any one point,
than for those Savannah will furnish to
go to Atlanta.
Georgia is the only seaboard state in the
South that has an inland town designated
as the rendezvous of1the troops. The cap
itai city has not been definitely decided
upon and it is believed here that it would
be a good plan for Savannah to be given
its place In the plan that seems to have
settled upon it. The railroad facilities at
Savannah are just as good as those at
Atlanta, and this city lies nearer what
it is understood will be the field of opera
tions of the armyghtntnA Ane iIai9oq 4.to
troops of other seaboafd states rendez-
vous at seaport towns, Savannah officers
would like to know why it Is that the
same advantage would not hold good when
it comes TO Georgia.
Either water or rail transportation ia
cilities could be furnished here at mo-
ment's notice, and no trouble would be ex-
perienced in getting a large force under
way from camps established in this vi
entity.
There are good, healthful camping
grounds to be found In the neghborhood Of
Savannah and no reason is patent why the
department should not recognize the adj
vantages the city affords and send the
troops here.
The defense of the coast seems to be a
point in the plans that are being made for
the utilizing of the Georgia troops They
might soon be callea into service to repel
an attack at Tybee or Warsaw If they
were stationed here 1t is upon the
coast, necessarily that the first demonstra-
ton of the Spanish upon American soil is
to be made, and local military men think
it would be better to have the troops right
here when the necessity for them arises.

FAVORABLE FOR A FROST.
Truck Farmers Disheartened by the
Outlook.


Outlook.
Indications for frost this morning were
good at o'clock. The wind had gone
down and the thermometer indicated a
temperature of 46 degrees. The sky was
clear, and conditions seemed very favora-
BILE for the truck farmers suffering badly
by the cold as late in the season as April
2S
If the frost should come 1t would only
be in keeping with the reverses the truck
farmers have met with all during the sea-
son. Frost, drought and high winds that
have tried 10 thrash the life out of ten
der young plants have combined to make
their efforts TO raise good crops futile.
) Observer Boyer Of the weather bureau
said yesterday afternoon that there was
nothing to be feared from frost; that the
bureau had predicted weather fair and
warmer and that the thermometer would
show an upward tendency. IL is hoped
the event will bear out his prediction.
The high wind yesterday and the after
noon before damaged the young vegeta-
tion somewhat Some Of the young corn
was thrashed around until it was broken
down, and other vegetables also suffered.

DEAD, WITH KNIFE IN HIS THROAT
White Boy Reported Murdered Near
Ways station.

White Boy Reported Murdered Near
ways Station.
- The news of mysterious tragedy In
Bryan county Tuesday has just been re-
ported in Savannah by a gentleman re-
turning from Mr.. Habersham Clay's place,
near Ways station. The names We're not
reported. The circumstances are said TO
strongly indicate, however, that small
white lad was killed and robbed by a ne
gro, who made his escape.
The gentleman came across a small boy
who was crying near a wagon by the road
side. The lad was asked the trouble and
replied that he wanted his brother, who
had gone into a thicket a short distance
away, Going there the gentleman found the
brother, somewhat older than the lad at
the wagon, lying on his back dead, with
a knife sticking in his throat.
1t is said the two boys met a negro
shortly before reaching the thicket. The
harness on the horse he drove needed re-
pairing and he borrowed a knife from the
elder boy to do the mending. 1t is sup
posed the negro caught sight of about SIT
the boy had on his persons, some of which
was silver. This may have proved an in
centive to murder the boy, though nothing
definite is known.

THREE BATTALION FORMATION.
What the Hull Army Reorganization
Bill Means.

The passage of the Hull army bill
nations of the army, will furnish features
which army officers have sought for a long
time. The armies of Europe have been es-
taDlished on the three battalion basis for
Years, and the United States is the only
country, except China, which has not
adopted that basis.
The American army is now composed of
regiments of ten companies each, the bat
taAon being ignored in the formation.
however, the battalion has not been ignor-
ed in the instruction of the men, as they
nave been formed into battalions and put
through the drill under the drill regula-
ions With the ten company formation the
majors are done away with. Under the
he" formation there will be three battal-
IONS OF four companies in each regiment,
each battalion in command of major.
Ihere is nothing new in this to the vol
unJ-er militia. They have been drilling
uNdeH the battalion formation right along,
,ne regiments being divided into battallons,
'Aough in some instances there have been
only two battalions instead OF three. The
new arrangements provides for about loo
men for each regiment, or 5000 for brig

POLICE CAPTURE CHICKEN THIEF.
VIII Jones Arrested While Bound
for Early Morning Market.

w III OOhGS arrested w nile BOunU
for Early Morning Market.
William Jones, negro, "a years old, was
sent to the City Court yesterday by the
Recorder for undue familiarity with other
peoples chicken roosts. The police had
been given instructions to look out for
Jones, as complaints We're being received
from people losing chickens and Chief Nc
Dermott was pretty well satisfied that the
negro was one among the gang doing the
work.
Policeman ]. A. Woods got the accused
about o'clock yesterday morning, loaded
with basket of chickens, on Montgomery
and ostensibly heading for the market
Jones was stopped by the officer, who was
curious to know what the covered basket
contained. On lifting the cover there sal
six unfortunate conscripts, their feet Sc
curely tied and their heads poked up at
the policeman as if they understood that
the recruiting +officer''s was about to be
taken to task for his work. a..
The birds had the laugh on Jones, and
when pressed to know where he got Them
he admitted they were stolen from the
residence OF Mr.. r. G. Norton, Jr., who
lives at the corner of Hull and jefferson
streets. The owner readily identified them
as his chickens, after which Jones was
arraigned and sent up.
Besides the chickens, Jones had a meal
sack of pawn tickets on his person, repre-
senting numerous articles, supposed by the
detectives 10 have been stolen. Among
the things are two saws, pair of shoes,
seven pieces of tools, hatchets, hammers
and chisel. Recovered with these ar
tieles are twenty-one chickens, besides
those got by the arresting officer, which
the police say were stolen.
Chief McDermott determined to lessen
the complaints that were coming in be-
cause Of the raids of chicken thieves. I'm
less the gang is apprehended, people will
have considerable difficulty in keeping
their poultry yards from being invaded
The capture of Jones is believed by the
police, however; to be quite step in the
direction of putting stop to the evil.
