was transferred to Macon. where he was
placed in charge OF the commissary OF the
Central Railroad. and also that of the
Confederate government at that point IN
this capacity he also had charge of the
feeding of the Federal prisoners at Ma
con. lt was this service perhaps which
caused Col. George A. Mercer, upon mis-
election as colonel of the First Georgia
Regiment, Volunteer Infantry. to select
capt. Roman as the regimental commits
sary. This position he filed for a num-
Der OF years, to the great satisfaction of
the officers and men of the regiment. max
ing it rule to accompany the regiment
to the state encampments. He resigned
this position several years since upon the
resignation of Col. Mercer.
Besides being member of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, Capt. Ro-
nan was member of the Savan-
nah Volunteer Guards and the Irish Jas
per Green's. in both of which organiza-
tons he took a warm interest. He was
one of the older members of the Hibernian
Society. He was member of Division
No. of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
and ha9 held several offices in the order
He was also a member of the Catholic
Knights of America and of the Savannah
Benevolent Association He was a con-
sistent and devoted member of the CathO-
lie Church and took an active interest in
its affairs.
He had always taken an active interest
in public affairs and served one term as
an alderman in 1869 and 1870 under the ad-
ministraton of Mayor John Screven. The

vacancy in the sheriffs Office, Capt. Rom

his opponent being the late Capt. Lide
Goodwin, afterward sheriff of the City
Court. He had one or two other warm
contests at subsequent elections, but as
he apparently grew in strength with each
succeeding term, he soon came to be re-
garded as fixture in the office and would
doubtless have SO remained for a number
of years to come had his life been spared
him. As an official he was very popu-
lar with his brother officials, the officers
of the court and the members of the bar
and by none will his death be more sin
cerely regretted.

Sweeny. The latter has been his chief
assistant in the sheriffs office for some
months.
Sheriff Roman realized the serious ma
ture of his Illness from the beginning. He
knew some time before hand that death
was expected and awaited it calmly.

Alderman Dixon Proposes to Abate
Nuisance at the Theater.
Alderman Dixon has begun crusade
against the attendance of improper persons
a the theater Alderman Dixon's corn
plant is that people, whose Objectionable
character is well known. are allowel to
secure seats in any portion of the thealor
and are thus brought in contact with the
most respectable portion of the audience.
He thinks that they should either be re-
stricted to the less desirable portion of the
theater or assigned to some particular sec
ton, where they would be less conspicu-
Gus than they are at present.
Alderman Dixon addressed a communi-
cation on this subject to Manager We;s
several days ago, setting forth his views
on the subject and further placing him
on notice that unless some action was
taken on the line indicated that ne would
late the matter.
Manager Weis. when seen yesterday

TAKE AN ELECTRIC CAPSULE.
You Can Make Light From a vest
Pocket battery.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
One Of the latest things out is the cleo
trio capsule. 1t Is not to be swallowed
like dose of nauseous medicine, but
can be carried about in the vest pocket
until an illumination is needed. when by
a simple process II can be utilized TO the
satisfaction of the owner. A company
has been formed in New York with SIS e.
100000 capital to supply power or light In
ten or twelve grain capsules. One Of
these capsules will furnish electricity
enough to keep a light burning oil night.
The assertion Is made by a representative
of the company that the light con be fur
nished at less than one-fflh of mill per
damp per hour for each sixteeu-candle in
candescent globe. The company intends
10 sell power at 10 cents an hour for ono
full horse power. The capsules can be
used for propelilng automobiles, and # Is
said they will take up so little room and
weigh so little that the weight Of auto
mobiles will be reduced materially. bat
terry of the new power weighing only $50
pounds can run an automobile four and a
half times as long and as far as the larg-
est batteries now in use, which weigh 1000
or 5000 pounds.
If all this can really be done II will rev.
olutionize the automobile industry and re-
move one of the strongest objections to
rs uSt-lts great weight. AutciuODleS, as
as present made, weigh 1900 pounds and
upward, the heavy burden they are oblig-
ed to carry for propulsion making is neceg-
sary 10 construct the carriages on the
strongest and heaviest scale. When one
can buy electricity in the same shape as
box Of quinine pills 1t will be possible
40 use II for many purposes for which it
Is Unavailable at present. The president
of the company, John Post who is The dis
coverer OF the new power. says Il can be
used in the most remote and isolated
places as in New York city, and thai a
farmer can employ 1t to heat and Hight his
house, 90 draw water. to make butter,
saw wood, run thrashing machine, drive
fans and keep out flies. If II can do All
this men VIII no more think OF being With
out capsules than Of going downtown with
out change in their pockets.
