Infantry; Pulaski Guards, Capt. John p
W. Read, Tenth Georgia Infantry; Chat
nam Rifles Confederate Guerillas, Local
Battalion. Companies A. B, c, d, and E.
Lieut.. Col. John Screyen.
Of the above list, the following compa-
MES were enlisted for a limited period, at
the expiration of which they were mus
tered out and dsbanded, many of their
members being absorbed by other com
mands. viz Mounted Rifles, Savannah Ar
tillery Mountain Howitzer Battery;
Republican Blues, Company B, Irish Vol
unteers, Company b, and Warsaw Rifles.
The Pulaski Guards were, subsequent to
enlistment as infantry, transferred to ar
thlery. This company, together with Com
pauy A of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry
aud Company A of the Hussars, went to
Virginia in 1861 to become a part of the
Army of Northern Virginia. In 1864 the
Eighteenth Georgia Battalion, Savannah
Volunteer Guards, the Seventh Georgia
Cavalry and the Twentieth Battalion of
Cavalry. Milen's, were likewise ordered
to Virginia. The other companies served
in the department of South Carolina and
Georgia until 1864 when the First Regi-
ment of Infantry, the Sixty-ihird Georgia
Infantry. and the Fifth Georgia Cavalry
were ordered to Northern Georgia TO rein
force the army of Gen. Joseph e. John
stou.
IN addition to the citizens of Chatham
county, who were ,reckoned in the above
organizations, there were many Others"
SAYS the report, holding staff appoint
ments. who must be- comprehended in the
quota from Chatham county, and when
we recall that the population of the coun-
ty did not exceed 10000, white and black,
male and female, we must needs infer that
the contribution of the county to the up
holding of our rights and the defense of
our affairs was confirmatory of their devo-
ton and unanimity."
Many of the companies, whose names
are given in the foregoing list, are still
remembered, the names of a few being
kent fresh'in the minds of the public by
the local organizations, which still retain
these names. Others some of whom rem
dered valued service, are almost forgotten.
The several companies. each with the First
Georgia Regiment and the Fifth Georgia
Cavalry, saw much hard service during
the last year of the war. The Oglethorpe
Light Infantry made an undying name al
the Trst battle of Manassas, when Francis
s Barlow fell, and the Pulaski Guards,
Reads battery and Fraziers battery,
made a glorious and bloody record 1t is
10 be hoped that historians will be found
for all or at least for the principal ones,
those which saw the greater service,
among these commands.

LEGS CRUSHED OFF.
w. s. Bush Run Over by a
Trolley Car

Warren S. Bush, a compositor in the
employ of Crane & Co, was run over
and probably fatally injured by a city
railway electric car at the corner of
Sixth and Lane streets at noon today.
One wheel of the car passed over both
legs above the knees. crushing the bone
and horribly mutilating the flesh.
He was picked up and taken to a
neighboring house and later to StOr-
mont hospital. The physicians there
this afternoon stated that there was
but little chance Of his recovery. If he
rallies, one of the injured limbs will
have to be amputated a short distance
below the hip.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Raymer and Conductor Rowles bound
for the transfer station, and was Just
passing the other asylum car west
pound, when the accident occurred.
Bush dropped off the rear platform of
the westbOund car and started to cross
the adjacent track when the cars pass
ed Raymer says he was apparently
unconscious of the fact that the east
bound car was on the track, walking
with his head down. The corner of the
Vestibule struck him, knocking him to
the pavement with his limbs across the
rail. The mOtOrman succeeded in stop
ping the car just after the front wheel
on that side passed over both legs.
Bush retained consciousness for some
time after the accident, but this after
noon is suffering from shock, and is in
a critical condition.
The management of the city railway
does not attach any blame for the ac-
cident to MOtOrman Raymer and he
was allowed to continue in charge of
the car. It was impossible for him to
see Bush until his car passed the west
bound car, and the man was then in
the act of stepping across the rail
Both cars were stopped within Is feet
OF each other. 1t is stated that Bush
did not ask the conductor to stop the
car, and stepped from the platform
While it was in motion.
Mr. Bush is we'll known in Topeka.
He has worked in the past in the COM
and Daily Capital

FUNSTON TO SUE
Will Proceed Against Archbish-
Op Ireland For Libel.
Also a Catholic Paper Published
in San Francisco.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. IA special
to the Star from Albuquerque, N. NJ,
says:
General Frederick Funston, who is
enroute home with the mustered out
Twentieth Kansas regiment, has wired
his Topeka attorneys, Gleed, Ware &
Gleed, to bring proceeding against
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul. for
criminal libel because of statements
attributed to the archbishop in recent
interview. General Funston also in
structed his lawyers to begin criminal
and civil prosecutions against the
Monitor, a Catholic paper of San Fran
cisco, which first printed thu story.
In a recent interview in Chicago
Archbishop Ireland was quoted as say
ing that General Funston had been
charged with lOOting Catholic churches
in the Philippines. The charges alleged
to have been referred to by the arch
bishop were made by the editor of the
Monitor soon after the landing of the
Kansas troops in San Francisco.
The Monitor stated it is said that Gen.
Funston had taken two magnificent chal-
ices from a certain Catholic church in the
Philippines and sent them home to his
wife.
Archbishop Ireland in his Chicago in
tervieWS was quoted a. calling upon Gen.
Funston to deny the truth of the article
and sue the editor of the Monitor for libel
or the public would be obliged against its
will to believe him guilty of the criminal
acts of which he has been accused.

INTO GIRLS APARTMENTS.
Students at University of Wisconsin
Indulge in Rough Fun.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 1.-The first
nightshirt party at the University OF
Wisconsin this year was held last
night. The demonstration was called
out by the fact that the young women
at ladies' hall held their annual Hal
loween dress party in the evening. The
telephones connecting the various fra
ternity houses were set ringing early
and soon a crowd of 300 students ar
rayed in nightshirts began paradinS
the streets and making night hideouS
with horns and trumpets.
The parade began in front of the Y
NJ. G. A. building. After holding up
street car for ride the party moved
to ladies' hall being now reinforced by
several hundred students in citizens
dress. Here an attempt was made to
enter the building through doors, win
dows and fire escapes. The girls ap-
peared on an upper balcony and a flash
light was thrown on them and a picture
of their fantastic garb taken before
they could retreat.
The 5anitOr defended the doors as
best he could with Indian clubs and the
young women with water, but entrance
was finally secured through a window
and the young women's laundry was
rifed of articles of clothing, which were
carried home as trophies. The precep-
treSS' room was broken into and a. fan
cy water pitcher and sofa pillows were
carried away. Passing bicyclists were
held up and deprived of their lanterns
to facilitate operations. The police
were finally called, but arrived on the
scene too late. the crowd dispensing

WHEAT-BeariSh sentiment was dOmiu-
ant in the wheat pit today and the market
opened weak with the tendency upward
sharp advance here yesterday was the
main consideration. Trade was very dull

stocks coupled with a slack cash demand
haStened the decline. December opened

695sc. Chicago received 1874 cars, of
which graded contract. Minneapolis and
Duluth got $50 cars compared with 6S for
the corresponding day last year.
CORN-The weakness in wheat was re-
f1ected in corn and the market suffered
from liquidation. After a half cent de-
cline had been scored, country buying
owing to wet weather and light receipts
started a slight rally. Receipts PIG cars.

GREAT COMBINE.
Cable, Telephone and Telegraph Lines
Formed In Big Trust.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The North
American will say tomorrow:
One of the greatest financial combi-
nations of the century is in process. of
formation. The organizers of the Con-
tinental Telegraph, Telephone and Ca
BILE company, recently incorporated in
New Jersey, have obtained control of
all the independent telephone companies
in the United States and aim to com
bine these with the great telegraph
companies and the five Atlantic cable
companies.
The office of the new concern is in
the American Surety cOmpany's build
ing. New York city.
From various sources information
reached the North American that the
capitalists interested in the venture
include J. PierpOnt Morgan, George J.
Gould, John Jacob Astor, William c.
Whitney, P. A. b. Widener and William
L. Elkins
Nertlflcation of the story was obtained
from Mr. Widener at his home in
OgOntZ. He talked freely of the cOlOs-
sal scheme, which, he says, will bring
about sweeping reduction in the cost
of transmission of electrical messages
all over the country. Among other
things he said:
The plan has been under considera-
t On for some time. Mr.. Martin Ma
loney, who was the active agent in the
enterprise, may be said to have engi-
neered it, has been in New York for
about a year.
His efforts eliminated when he sue
ceeded in sufficiently interesting sever
al big financial men in New York
Among the number was John Jacob As
tor. He is now one of the prominent
movers in the concern. J. PierDont
Morgan, whose name has beel- men
toned IN connection with the CONSOLE
dation, is not connected in any way
with it.
