the transfer of money from the water
fund to the general fund came up
Richardson moved to substitute the
amount as reported by the finance COM
mittee (of which he is chairman) for
the amount named by the com mittee
composed of Messrs. Lovett, Voss and
Aid. Simpson,. He insisted that his
own report was right and that it was
not more than half the amount that
properly should have been included.
Crassweller called attention to one
item in the finance committees report
of 81 300 that was admittedly wrong, for
the money was yet in the city treasury for
the Lakewood award. He thought the
report was an attempt to rob Peter to
pay Paul. It was impossible to cut up
the time of the city officials and charge
their salaries. part to this amount and
part to that. And there was no excuse
for it, because the expense of the city
engineers Office, which Richardson had
laid special stress upon, had not been
increased by the work on the water
plant. The special committees report
had the approval of the city attorney.
Sang and Dahl sided with Richardson
while Simpson raised the question of
where the interest from the water fund
went to. Jefferson made some sarcastic
allusions to the great wisdom of the
chairman of the finance committee and
Crassweller found present way out by
moving to refer both reports back for
itemized statement.

Claire, Takes First Money.
1t is probable that there are about one
thousand uniformed knights in the city this
morning. Yesterday there was a big list of
departures and it is said the above figures
will cover all the men now in camp. The
camps of the New England and West Vir-
GINA delegations are completely deserted,
while only a corporars guard holds forth
in the Texas, Virginia, Tennessee and
Michigan camps. About one-fourth of the
Buckeyes are still here, but the probable
tiles are that there will be no one in camp
by tonight, as already the owners OF the
tentage have made preparations for tearing
down the white city to-day.
To the person versed in military matters
the conduct of Camp Colgrove bore little
similarity to Camp Mount in point of disci-
pine Every knight seemed to do about as
he pleased and the only regulation which
was given any attention was the call for
meals. The staff officers have had arduous
social duties to perform and will no doubt
be glad to see the camp break up. Yester-
day morning the only work before the
Knights was forming the drill teams IN front
of the headquarters of Major General Car
nahan to receive the awards made by the
judges for the prize drills of yesterday and
the day before. In the meantime the LOUIS

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 26.-The question of
mastering out and retaining in service the
Third Georgia Volunteers, has aroused
much dissension at Camp Northen, near
Griffin. The officers say that not 10 per
cent. of the men want to go home. Those
of the enlisted men who have been seen out
side of camp are almost unanimously in ia
vor of being mustered out and one of the
men has telephoned the Associated Press
that not per cent. of the regiment favor
disbanding. Word comes to-day that the
suppressed excitement among the men is in
tense and that unless something is done to
settle the matter trouble will result. The
officers unanimously favor remaining In
service and influence has been brought to
bear on the Georgia delegation in Congress
to use their efforts towards preventing the
muster out. Colonel John S. Gambler, who
is judge of the Stone Mountain district

The Union Station officials have handled
the travelling public in a much smoother

previous occasion. Extra men have been
employed at the station all week, and in
creased facilities in the. way of gates for
ingress and exit have been provided. Au-
ditor Vinnedge, of the Union Railway Com
pany, says there were at least $4,000 visitors
to this city in the five days on which low
rates were offered-beginning last Saturday.

Does Not Want to Consolidate with

The two dozen Pythian Sisters have fin
ished their business, and most of them
have gone to their homes. Yesterday after
noon they elected and installed the follow

Their discussions were conducted with the
same secrecy that accompanies the gossip
of sewing circle. and for that reason one
of the sisters talked last night to a reporter
about what had been said in the star-cham-
Der session, and what the feeling of the
sisters is about combining with the Rath-
bone Sisters AT first the Sister said she abb
solutey must not talk about what had been
said (this with an exhilarating air of mys-
terry and importance). but when she was
