the Ocean Steamship CO.-One OF
the Lines Will Probably Run a
Special Train.
The First Maine Artillery will be mus
tered out of the service tomorrow at the
camp on Dale avenue. The battalion Of
flcers have been kept busy since
their coming to Savannah and
the men have rendered every
assistance to facilitate the work OF

March 81 some time ago as the date for the
discharge of the battalion, and the men
have been longing ever since for its COM
ing.
1t is said there will be no slip about IT.;
that everything will be in readiness and
that the command will most certainly be
discharged tomorrow. The paymaster
viii be on hand early in the morning, and
his Offices will be begun as soon as Bat
terry A lines up and passes before him.
Each man will be handed all the pay that
is coming to him on his final statement,
and later he will be given his discharge
by his commanding officer. The time set
for the paying off of the men TO begin is
$3.50 O'Clock.
Railroad and steamship Representative
have been busy among the men for some
days, and the soldiers will have a choce
OF routes home that have had their praises
sung almost without intcrmission. A
large party will leave the night the com

Ocean Steamship Company. 1t is said
there viii be a special train run over the
| Florida Central and Peuinsular to connect
with the Southern at Columbia and an

rates are lower than by rail. 1t is PROP

! but it remains to be seen which il viii be.
| Maj Newcomb, commander of the bat
| talon. will leave by rail. He will go di-
| rect 10 Augusta, as he has business with
! the officials at the capital of his state
| On his return, Maj. Newcomb will re-as-
sumo command of the Second Regiment
| Infantry, of the Maine National Guard.
| He held the command before he volunteer

is on furlough until May l, the policy of
| the state having been to give all officers
and men Of the Guard leave who might
| desire to enter the service
The Maine men are anxious to get out
! of the service. They have not enjoyed the
| last month of their army life and have
become dissatisfied. They have been look
ing forward to the day when they might
again be citizens, and their home going
will be a source of infinite pleasure TO
them. Many came from the country Dor
dering the Canadian line. and their far
away homes seem dearer to them on ac-
count of their distance.

ANOTHER ROUTE. FOR SOUTHERN.
Might Reach savannah by the way
of WaIterborO and Green Pond

Wight Reach savannah by the Way
of WalterbOrO and Green Pond.
There is another proposed route by which
the Southern Railway can secure a Florida
connection through Savannah than by
building from Columbia to Savannah. IT
is TO extend the Green Pond and Waiter
boros Railroad from the latter place 10 Col
umbia a distance of seventy miles The
building of this would give nearly as short
line from Savannah to Columbia as that
over the South Bounds division of the
Florida Central and Penlnsular Railroad.
Green Pond is on the Charleston and Sa-
vannah Railway IS miles from Savan-
nah.
1t is reported that the Plant System has
suggested this route to the Southern as n
solution of the difficulty. The opinion of
railroad people, however, is that there is
very little in the report of the Southern
building any line or part of a fine be-
tween Columbia and Savannah as il now
has good inlets and outlets from Florida
by connection with the Central, if there
should be any difficulty about running its
cars over the South Bound.
The Pant Systems special extra No.
$685." which carried President Mckinley
back and forth over Georgia and FlorIda
for ten days, was in charge of Conductor
Joe Palmer of this city, with Mr.. r. V.
Swain of Waycross as baggagemaster.
The train was at President Mckinley
disposal during the entire time of his stav
in this section. The railroad men saw that
their experience in handling the Pres,-
dent was very pleasant one, and that his
treatment of them was all that could be
asked.
Mr.. S. HI Hardwick. assistant general
passenger agent, with office at Atlanta
for the Southern Railway, was among the
visiting railroad men who spent yesterday
in the city.
