C. NOBLE JONES, Esa., j. p.
He Succeeds Mr.. Warning Russell as
Magistrate i'm the Second District.


The grand jury in making its present
ments for the March term recommended
G. Noble Jones, Esq. for appointment as
notary public and ex-ofIicio justice of the
peace for the Second militia district to
succeed Mr. Waring Russell Jr.
Mr.. Russell rendered his resignation TO
the Governor several days ago. and re-
ceived notice of the acceptance of his res
ignation Wednesday. The matter was kept
quiet and the fact that there was vacan-
cy in the Office was known TO very few
until the matter was brought TO the atten-
ton of the grand jury al it's meeting yes
terday. 1t is likely that there would have
been several other candidates for the place
had 1t been generally known that there
was a vacancy.
Mr. Jones. who succeeds Mr.. Russen as
notary public of the Second district, is a
young attorney wen and favorably known
in Savannah, and fully capable an every
way of dischargIng the duties of the office
in satisfactory manner. As a recommen-
da ton by the grand jury is practically
equivalent to an appointment there is no
reason to doubt but that Mr.. Jones will
soon be invested with the judicial ermine.
Mr.. Jones is the third of the younger mem
bers of the bar to obtain appointment as
an eX-officio J. p, the other two being Mr..
j. r. Saussy. Jr., and Mr.. C. d. Kline.
Mr.. Russell surrendered his office after
nineteen years of consecutive serving,
having received five commissions from as
many different Governors, having held of
flee longer than any magistrate in the
city. During this long term of service
he discharged his duties faithfully and
conscientiously in manner to win the
commentator of his fellow citizens. Mr.
Russelrs conduct of his Office has been
frequently commended by members of the
bar and others having legal business to
transact with him. But FOR the fact that
he had been elected clerk of the City
Court a more renumerative position, it
is likely that he would have gone on
holding his magistrate office for another
nineteen year.

FAvoRs TWO SMALLER PLANTS.
Health officer LeHaFdy Believes Gre
matOry shouId BE Divided.

The question whether the city shall build
one or two garbage crematories promises
to become the subject of debate in Coun-
Gil when the matter is brought up The
fact the matter has not yet been officially
placed before the board leaves some OF
the aldermen less informed than they
would like to be, and for that reason they
reserve their opinions Those who have
considered the matter however, do not
hesitate to express themselves.
Health officer LeHardy long since recog-
niEed the necessity for modern crematory
with a capacity that would allow OF ihe
ready disposition of the citys refuse, and
which would not allow the fumes to fail
in the neighborhood Of the plant. With a
view to making proper recommendations
when called upon, Or. LeHardy studied ths
question from a sanitary standpoint, ana
concluded that the city needs just such
plants as are now being built in different
parts OF the country.
Savannah should have her garbage
reducing plant divided into two small
ones, conveniently located to the sections
to be served" said DR. LeHardy yester-
day. 1T has always been my idea that
a plant located somewhere in the west
ern part of the city would be of great
convenience, and would enable the scav-
enger department to perform its work
more easily and satisfactorily Besides
if the city proposes to provide better
crematory facilities better results would
be accomplished by the erection of two
smaller plants My idea is the work could
be done more satisfactorily by
two small plants, which would
facilitate the handling. neces-
sarily difficult where the entire garbage
accommodations are TO be disposed of at
one large plant"
Director Gadsden Of the public works
department believes TWO plants will bet
ter subserve The city's interest and will
permit of better service in this depart
ment.
Just what locality would be used for a
second plant is not known, as this is e
question which will have to be fully dis
cussed before the board win conclude what
to do The old plant will be one of the
sites used, however as there Is consider
able land there suitable for the purpose
The movement for a crematory seems to
be well under way a present, and the
chances are Ii will be further considered at
the next meeting Of Council, with view
to taking some decisive Steps in the mai

CROOK SAILED WITH INFANTRY.
Second Battalion of Second Regi-
ment on for CienfuegOs.


ment on for CienfuegOs.
The First Battalion of the Second In
fantry, under command of Maj A II.
Bowman, sailed yesterday afternoon on
the transport Crook for Cienfuegos. The
vessel got away from her dock at about
4:9O o'clock. and the whistles of the craft
in the river made a din as she passed
down. Everybody was giving the troops
bon voyage"
In addition to the men of the Second
Infantry the Crook carried about twenty
stragglers who had been waiting some
time for transport on which to go to
Cuba to rejoin their commands There
were also about the same number of re-
cruits for various commands who were
sent down from Atlanta, where they tn
listed.
The regular infantrymen were in Sa-
vannah for about two months, during
which time they did efficient service as
provost guards. Many of their number
were recruits. there being but a small per-
centage of veterans among them The
rockies" were here long enough to be
drilled into shape before leaving for Cuba,
however. About noon the companies went
down TO the transport. They did not 90
in battalion formation. As each company
passed 1t could be seen that the men and
officers knew their business. Their ranks
were full, TOO, every company apparently
having all the men the regulations pre-
scribe.
The regulars have been very well
though Of in Savannah, and their depart
ure is to the regret of the citizens. The
soldiers, too, like the city, and they were
by no means anxious TO get back to Cuha
The veterans among them had enough
when they went through the Santiago
campaign, and the island holds no especial
charms for them. There is no novelty in
store, and they would have been better
suited If the war department had allowed
them to remain right here on provost or
some other duty

ed Its decision with all the light which
could be given IL on the case"
Speaking of the killing of Read by Lieut..
Curry, an officer of the regular army
said: THE officer was not justified in
shooting the man unless some grave Of
Tense had been committed. The mere
fact that he did not give up a pass when
called upon TO do so. but instead, had
turned and was running away, was not
cause sufficient 10 admit of the shot being
fired. The lieutenant could have shouted
halt, until he was blue IN the face, and
the man might have kept running with
never a sign Of hating. bat that would not
have been warrant enough 10 justify he
officer in firing. Nothing in army regula-
tons admits Of one man shooting another
just because he does not halt when told
to do so. The circumstances must be such
as TO give the warrant II is a fortunate
thing for the officer that he was not tried
before a military court

mans lake. between here and Augusta,
about two months ago and was success
fully raised and brought down to Savan-
nah, is on Willink's marine railway I'M
dergoing repairs TO her hun.
The Ethel was a double-decked steamer
with a large carrying capacity when she
sank. Her house work was burned Off
before she was raised. Her boilers and
machinery and the hull are in good condi-
ton and did not suffer serious damage by
the sinking.
Capt w. t. Gibson, owner of the steam
er. has decided to rebuild her into a
freight steamer with only one deck, in
stead of a passenger steamer, as she was
before she was sunk. She will be ready
in a short time for business. The Ethe.
was practically new steamer, having
been built in 1897.

MAYOR REVIEWS THE REQUEST.
Again Asks Secretary AIger for a
Pair of the Spanish Cannons.

Pair of the Spanish CannOns.
Mayor Myers has renewed his request
TO the war department for pair of Span
ish cannons captured during the recent
war in Cuba. Private advices were re-
ceived in Savannah from Washington that
the war department is to distribute the
guns, and that a request while the iron
is hot might be more effective than one
stored away in the government archives.
IL has been the belief al. along that Sa-
vannah would get these guns, which could
be used to good effect at the entrance TO
some of the parks, or wherever else the
city officials may see fit to place them.
The city would like to have them as much
for sentimental reasons as for the distinc-
ton and honor such recognition would be.
1t is stated Mayor Myers will use his
efforts TO have the request granted II
may be said the prospects for favorable
action are encouraging

Il
/ Feb. !, fs99 The offerings ibis
week were not So good in quantity
as the previous week. Prices were
hardly sustained on the common
grades. But all tobacco with good
quality, prices are unchanged The
rehandlers and strip people were
the principal buyers. The Reggie
people are rather backward this
year in placing their orders, Hence
there is very little outside demand,
However, the home demand is tax
ing all offered at fairly satisfactory
prices. The leading feature this
week was that the mercury was
down below zero by Is degrees.
This extreme weather retarded the
offerings and sales to very great
extent. The receipts are daily in
creasing, and expect the offerings
to be large from now on. Very little
has been done this week in the
loose business on account of the
weather. The annual meeting
of the exchange was held, yester-
day, also the committee to elect the
other inspectors which resulted in
the election of three more inspectors
as follows: N. A. Barnett, d, F.
