sAvANNAH's CHANCE ron TROOPS.
Expected 1t VIII Re Made n COncen-
frating Cnmp.

Mr.. John NJ. Egau, vice president of the
Central Railroad, returned yesterday
morning from Washington. He was
naturally disappointed that Savannah
was not chosen as point for the concen-
tration of troops, and thinks that the Sc
lection of Fernandlna is a very poor one,
since there are few facilities for embark
ing troops on board transport ships in
that harbor as there as very 4ittle whfrf
room there. and considerable difficulty
Will likely be experienced In getting the
ships near the shore,
"Savannah's chance to get troops Is still
bright however" said Mr. Egan, "and
there is no reason why We should give Up
hopes of having large number Of soldiers
encamped here within a short time"
In reference to a statement made few
days ago, to the effect that President Du-
val of the Florida Central and Peninsuiar
Railroad was inimical to savannah IN
terests in the selection of a camp site,
Mr.. Egan stated that this Is an error Mr..
Duval put in some very good work foT
Savannah, Mr.. Egan said, going so far IS
to recommend it in preference to Fernan-
dina.
Mayor Meldrim said yesterday, Wheh
asked about the report that troops would
embark from Fenandina, within the next
two weeks that he did not hope 70 nave
Savannah designated as a point for en-
barkaiion. The fact that troops should
come here and only remain long enough
to get from trains to transports, was nct
what the committee sought. No beneht
of any consequence could be derived by
the merchants ana commercial interests
generally from such a brief visit While
il would give the city pleasure 10 do all
in its power for the government should 1t
decide 10 use the port, for embarkins
still it would be preferable to all concern
ed to have them both for disciplining and
e@nbarking.
When the army board was here all the
argument presented was to show the ad-
vantages offered IA both respects. II was
known the large bodies Of troops which
responded to the Presidents second call
would be concentrated and drilled at some
point, and It was with a view to having
Savannah thus recognized that the COM
mittee was particularly active. Using the
city merely for embarldng purposes was
not even discussed, for the reason il was
known this was not the object.
Mayor Meldrfm stated that nothing had
been received from Washington as a re-
suit of the boards visit. It's report went
direct to secretary Alger, who, the dis
patches say, will take no action concern
ing it until a conference is had with Gen.
Miles, who reached Washington yesterday.
There are scores of Savannahians inter
ested, and they will eagerly await devel-

Abe BeDjamin's Ugly Attempt to
Poison IA COlOred Woman.
Abraham Benjamin, an African who has
been in this country about six months,
is in Jail. charged with assault, and also
attempting to Kill Amelia Abel, colored,
by pouring crushed glass into. food she
was preparing for herself. Benjamin de-
clared when arraigned before Justice Bev-
ans that he intended to drop crushed glass
into the food Of a prominent family where
he was employed until recently.
Both were employed al the same place
until Wednesday, when Benjamin was
discharged as porter because he attempted
TO kill the woman by dropping the glass
IN bread she was kneadng. 1t was dis
covered, however, and when the facts were
made known to the family, Benjamin was
told to get out. He did so. but seems to
have made some ugly threats before de-
parting. His antipathy for the woman is
because she repulsed some of his adj
vances.
Amelia obtained a warrant for Benja-
minis arrest, and after a short hunt, he
was located at State and Abercorn streets
by Officers Murphy and Wall. When ar
raigned he admitted his guilt and again
declared his intentions to harm the fam
lily from whose service he was dismissed.
Such talk did not favorably impress JUS
tice Bevans, who had the negro locked up,
pending trial before the Superior Court.

German Volunteers and OgIethOrps

Two more of Savannahs companies will

after filling up the companies which re-
sponded on the first call, to LOG men each,
viii consist of one full regiment of in
fantry to be organized as far as possible
from the remaining military companies in
the state.
1t is pretty well understood that the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry and the Ger
man Volunteers will take the field on this
second can. Capt. Kolshorn of the Volun-
teers and Capt. Lucas of the Oglethorpes
have been recruiting their commands ever
since the other companies of their regi-
ment left Savannah, and now have enough
men who are willing to volunteer to put
them on war footing in a very short
time.
II is also rumored that in case Savan-
nah furnishes these two companies Maj
w. S. Rockwell viii be appointed major
in the Third Regiment
Maj. Rockwell joined the Oglethorpes In
1850, and went 10 the war with Them and
rose to the position of first lieutenant In
the artillery in 1853. In 1889 ne was chosen
captain of the Oglethorpes, and was made
a major of the First Regiment in 1896
Five more recruits for the First Regi-
ment were mustered in at the recruiting
station at the Catholic Library hail. and
are on their way 10 Chickamauga where
they will ind Col. Lawton and his regi-
ment.
This makes thrty-four men who have
been accepted for the regiment, twenty
four having left on Wednesday night and
| five on Thursday night. The latest addi-
| tons to the First Georgia are C. L. Heffer-
nan, Michael Cullum, w. ]. Fulcher, John

Capt. Gleason viii remain here for some
| time yet, and win make an effort to get the
fun number required TO iii up the battai-
| ion that the Savannah companies are with.
without removing his headquarters to any
| other point.
With the recruiting stations Of the i'm
mune company, the First Regiment and
! the Naval Reserves now open, a man who
is looking for job ought to be uble to be
