The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-09-02

Editor Morning News; Your editorial
concerning our trees is timely and ought
to have the attention Of the civic authori-
ties.
In that connection 1 would suggest that
the Park and Tree Commission should
keep an eye on the people in charge of
the streets and sidewalks.
A fine. strong oak was blown down across
Drayton street, at the corner of Hal
street, and the stump shows clearly that
all the western roots of the healthy tree
had been cut off by the sidewalk people.
This is a shame, and should be looked INTO.
Very likely many more trees have been
similarly jeopardzed
Another thing. II IS said that Of the
chlmneys and other brick work blown
down the mortar used was atrociously in
adequate, crumbling easily in H.. fingers.
TO endanger life and limb of innocent peo-
pie by such employment Of inferior mater
ial is a crime, and the authorities should
inquire into all such cases and resoiutely
punish those who, for a small unlawful
profit thus prejudice the public safety.

seemed no hope of rescue, to them it APP
peared that it was but a matter of time
before they would all. one by one, join
Lieut.. Morgan and Harry Smith. For
hVe hours they half sat half chung, to
the boat two of them naked, the others
clad in undershirt and trousers. Then the
southeast wind and the food tide brought
lhem ashore on Bloody Point, off Daufus

make them comfortable for the night.
early yesterday morning they hunted
along the beach, hoping that the bodies
OF their comrades might have been cast
ashore, but no traces of them could be
seen. The rudder of their boat was found,
and the oars had been cast up on the
sands, but this was all that the waves
had brought TO tell of the tragedy
Fixing up the boat they made their way
back to Tybee Island, arriving there
about noon time. From the island word
was sent to the city and Capt Gillette
sent the Dandy Jim TO seek for the bodies.
Lieut. Henry $. Morgan was a son of
Mr.. William Morgan of Valdosta,
Iowndes county, and a grandson of Col.
William Stokely Morgan, formerly
prominent lawyer, and in his day one of
the most prominent men in the state. He
was first cousin of Lieut.. Stokely Nor
gan of the cruiser Olympia, Admiral
Deweys flagship. Mrs. Corinthia A. Good
Win of this city is his fathers aunt and
his great aunt. He was greatly beloved
by her and often visited her at her home
on CASTOR street. His father and mother,
three sisters and two brothers survive
him.
Lieut.. Morgan was appointed to West
Point through Hon. II. G. Turner, Con-
gresham from the Eleventh district, in
1898. He took a high stand throughout his
college course and graduated fourth in
his class in 1897, which gave him place
in the engineer corps. He stood first in
military grade al the academy, and in his
senior years was first cadet captain.
Lieut. Morgan was noted for his strict
performance of duty, and his requirement
of the same attention to duty from the
men under him. Nevertheless, he was
idolized by the men who worked with MIN
on the Fertilization at Tybee. and they
were ever ready to submit to him any
differences arising among themselves,
knowing that he would settle them fairly
and justly. 1t was remarked by one of
the officers at Tybee that he had had never
seen a young man of greater ability, and
he considered that he was destined TO
make a famous military engineer. it was
remarked by another officer that in all
his experience he had never known a
finer officer than Lieut.. Morgan. Nothing
had ever been given him to do, he said,
without its being properly done.
Lieut.. Morgan was a man of absolute
devotion to duty, in love with his profess
sion and d brave. modest and unassum-
ing gentleman. His death win prove a
great loss to his corps, to the profession
and 10 his many friends.
