GUARDS UNDER INSPECTION.
FOUR COMPANIES MADE GOOD
SHOWING BEFORE COL. OBEAR.

Officers Satisfied with the Appear
nncc of the Men-NO Drill in the
Manual on Account of n Lack of
Guns The Companies Went
Through Few EXECUTIONS Only.
Chatham Artillery VIII he In
spccted Tonight.
Col w. G. Obear, inspector general,
Georgia volunteers, inspected the battal-
ion Of Savannah Volunteer Guards at
their armory last night. The corps stood
a very creditabie inspection, and the usual
natty appearance of the Guards in their
uniforms Of gray, trimmed with red, was
presented
During the last few days the officers of
the four companies have made special eff
forts 10 bring their commands up TO the
point where the inspector general would
find nothing to which he could object in
the appearance Of the men, their drill,
their number or soldierly qualifications.
The officers were well pleased with the
inspection, and it is presumed Col. Obear
was also though he makes il a point to
give no expression, as his report to the
Governor upon the completion of his work
is supposed to be the first expression rela-
tive TO the Inspections.
The companies assembled in their rooms.
They were then marched to the hall up
stairs, where Col. Obear conducted his in
specton, assisted by Col. George T. Cam
inspector general of rife practice, and
Capt. j. c. Postell, inspector of rifle prac-
tice First Georgia Regiment, Cavalry.
The muster roll of each company was
carefully examined by the inspector gen
eral, and the names were shown to CORE
spond with the men present by callins
them off and noting the responses. Each
company had more than thirty-two mem
bers out for the inspection.
After the investigation of the rolls Col
Obear directed the captains to put their
companies through a few evoluuons in the
hau. No exercises in the manual were
had, there being only twenty guns to a
company until the government restores
those that were taken away when the
Guards left to enter the service. The exc
cution of the commands was very good.
when il was considered that it was the
first drlll through which many of the men
had been put in more than a year.
Col. Obear VIII compete his work in Sa-
Vannah tonight with the inspection of the
Chatham Artillery. He will return to-
morrow morning to Atlanta.

TO DISCUSS SHELLEY AND KEATS
University Extension Class Pro-
gramme for To-day.

The subject for discussion before the
University Extension Glass for this after
noon is the poetry of Shelley and Keats,
as well as the lives and influence of these
men on the literature of the age in which
they lived, and of the effects of their work
on the literature of to-day.
The programme is an attractive one,
and as this meeting is the last one over
which Mrs. Julian Solomon, the present
leader of the class. will preside. it is safe
to say that it will be as interesting an
occasion as all the meetings under her
leadership have proven TO be. The class
wishes to express its grateful apprecia-
ton of the work done by Mrs. Solomon,
and the programme for to-day's session
is but another evidence of the ability
which the leader has always displayed
in catering to the needs of the MEM
bers
The special feature of the meeting will
be a recitation from Shelley by Miss Ada
Evelyn Lewis, the gifted elocutionist, who
has recently completed a course at the
Emerson College of Oratory in Boston,
and who is well known as an elocutionist
of undoubted merit. In addition to Miss
Lewis recitation there will be a reading
from Keats, a paper on Shelley and Keats
and a general discussion Of the two posts,
which promises to be most entertaining.

WANTS RELIEF FROM DEBTS.
II. e. bradford Found the Book Bust
ness UnprofitnbIe.

H. E. Bradford filed in the United States
Court on yesterday his application for
discharge in bankruptcy. The petitioner
shows debts to the amount of about $1,000
and has no property of any kind. whether
real or personal. He is represented by
Mr. James r. Cain.
Some time ago Bradford embarked in
the book business, prior to which time
he had been an engineer on the Georgia
and Alabama Railroad. His venture in
the new business proved disastrous, and
the debts which he now owes and from
which he seeks relief were contracted
while he was endeavorng to cater to the
literary tastes of the Savannah public.
After the petition had been fled 1t was
referred by the clerk to Referee A. II.
MacDonel, with instructions to take tese
timony and direct such other and further
proceedings as are usual and proper in
the premises. The referee fixed the first
meeting of the bankrupt's creditors for
June s, at his office, on the corner OF
Bryan and Bull streets, at which time the
creditors may appear, examine the bank
rupt, appoint trustee, prove their claims
and take what other steps are necessary
for the purpose of protecting their inter
estS.

Transport Crook viii Make Two
Trips Back to Savannah.

transport CfOOk VIII make Two
Trips Back to Savannah.
No news was received by Col. Bellinger
yesterday of the arrival of the transport
Crook at Cienfuegos, with the battalion
of the Seventh Infantry, that left here last
week for that place, but it was the day
figured out for the vessel to reach her
destination and it is presumed she did So
From Cienfuegos, after discharging her
cargo and soldier passengers, the Crook
will go 10 Havana, where she win take
on about 500 mules. She viii then leave
for Savannah, and the animals will be un-
loaded down the river and brought up TO
the city and placed in the corrals. Light
ers will be used for their transportat,o on
from the vessel
After discharging that cargo of mules,
the Crook will take on a cargo of grain,
so TO Nuevtas, discharge it there, return
to Havana, lake on 500 more mules and
bring them also to Savannah.
Col. Beilinger says it is quite probable
that there will be another sale of sur
plus stock some time after the return of
the Crook with the mules from Cuba. The
animals viii be kept at the corrals for
some weeks first, to be fed and brought
up 10 a good condition for sale. In for
eign parts the mules have not received the
best care and attention, and they need
some of the fostering sollcitude of The SUI
perintendent of the corrais.

DIED FROM MURDEROUs BLOW.
Isaac Evans succumbed to a Blow
Received Two Weeks Ago.

lsaac Evans Succumbed to n Blow
Received Two Weeks Ago.
Isaac Evans, negro about 50 years old,
is dead from the effects of blow adj
ministered by negro youth unknown to
the coroner or the police. Evans was
struck on Thursday, two weeks ago, and
was finally overtaken with paralysis, OF
which he finally died
Evans lived at No. SOS Maple street, and
on the day when the fatal blow was
struck was sitting on the porch in front
of his house. A couple of young men,
both negroes, passed by, and as they did
so a dog belonging to Evans sprang out
and began barking. One of the men
struck the dog viciously, and Evans re-
monstrated with him for the cruel and
unnecessary act.
Both of them then attacked him. and
in the melee that ensued ne was struck
behind the ear with a billy or slungshot
and felled to the ground He was carried
into the house, and was not thought to be
seriously injured, but the disease subse-
quently developed dangerous symptoms
and resulted finally in his death The
two men by whom he was attacked are
unknown to any one in the vicinity, and
the affray was witnessed by only one wit
ness.
With the secretiveness peculiar to some
negroes when they are involved in a diff
Guilty that might get them In trouble with
the police nothing was said about the
matter until Evans death brought 1t to
the attention of the coroner. He invest-
gated the circumstances, but was unable
to discover any clew that would lead to
the detection of the murderers. Should
they be captured an inquest will probably
be held, but it is not thought that ii
would be productive of any good at the
present time.
The trivial effect that was at first
thought to be attached to the blow and
the small likelihood of any serious conse-
quences served to keep the matter quiet
and thus aided the escape OF the murder
ers. Evans was a respectable negro, was
well thought of by his neighbors and the
white people whom he had served and bore
generally a good reputation For sor,e
time he's was employed by Messrs I. Ep-
stein Il Bo He was buried on yesterday.

Over 1 500 Went Over to Attend Dec

This is TO be big day in Beaufort for
the colored folk.' From the appearance Of
the crowd that went away on the steam
ers Clifton. Alpha and Pilot Boy last night,
1t is safe to estimate it is about the larg-
est that has left the city at one time
for years, Decoration day is the drawing
card. and the interest the colored people
take in appropriately celebrating the day
is best attested in their eagerness to at
tend the exercises at Beaufort.
The steamer Alpha carried the Chatham
Light Infantry. The Pilot Boy, which was
sent over from Charleston, carried the
members of the Grand Army and the
Clifton had aboard a large representation
of the membership of ST. James Church,
AS the three boats were not enough to
take all who went, the Lincoln Guards
and others went over by rail.
The excursiousts will return tonight,
but, as the boats will not leave Beaufort
until a late hour, the chances are they
will not reach their docks until morning
