TESTIFIED BEFORE THE COURT.
Maj. G. w. Ruthers Has Returned
From n Trip TO Washington.

NAAJ' O' W. RutncEs mas RtturhcU
From n Trip TO Washington.
Maj. G. w. Ruthers, depot commissary
a. Savannah, returned yesterday from
Washington, where he gave testimony be-
fore the court of inquiry about refriger-
ated beef. In his testimony it is not like
ly that the court found anything damaging
to the beef
Last night Maj Ruthers was seen and
asked about his trip and his appearance
before the court. He said there was but
little to be told about it. His testimony
was along the line of figures he furnished
the Morning News some time ago, show
ing the satisfaction the beef has given
during the time he has had its handling
for troops. While the Seventh Army
Corps was at Jacksonville Mai. Ruthers
issued vast quantities of the beef. This
was during the hot summer months, when
the beef might have been expected to spoil
if it ever would. Nevertheless, the major
says, there were but very few complaints,
although complaints were invited Sucn
as there were were made through the beef
having spoiled while in camp and not on
account of its being in bad condition when
issued.
When Maj. Ruthers moved his depot of
supplies from Jacksonville to Savannah he
continued the issue of beef. There had
been great deal of it given out to the
men, and not a single complaint has been
heard.

GUNS COMING AT ONCE.
Col. LawtOn Says They VIII Prob
ably BE Here This Week.

The companies of the First Regiment,
Georgia Volunteers, viii have all the rifles
they will need in day or two. A letter
was received yesterday by Col A. r. Law
ton from the acting adjutant general Of
the state, saying the guns would be ship
ped from Atlanta yesterday or to-day, and
he sees no reason why they should not ar
rive this week
Soon after The arrival of the guns they
will be distributed among the companies.
Col Lawton was asked what plan would
be followed in the distribution of the
pieces and answered that each company
would probably get the same number. The
guns already in the possession of the
companies will be taken into considera-
ton when the distribution is made. The
Oglethorpe Light Infantry. however Is
the only company that has more than
very few guns. There are about fifty on
hand with the Oglethorpes, but the CONF
panies that went into the First Georgia
Regiment of the service have but few left.
One has three, another nine and another
four or five. There are also twelve guns
that are kept in the quarters of the Off
GERS of the field and staff. These have been
used from time TO time by one or two of
the companies when drills have been had,
and the Oglethorpes have also loaned
some of their guns to the Greens and the
Cadets.
The return of the guns Of the regiment
will be welcomed by officers and men. A
revival of the interest in the companies
that was patent before the commands went
off to war has been handicapped through
the lack Of guns. and the officers believe
they will be able to accomplish much more
in this line when they can put guns in the
hands of the men and have drills regularly.

WANTS CAR TRACKS PAVED.
Roadway Could He Improved at Bull
and Tenth Streets.

Alderman James NJ. Dixon, chairman of
the committee on streets and lanes. IS
looking out for flaws in the streets and
has already found a number of places to
which he will direct attention at once.
Among these places Is the junction of
Bull and Tenth streets, where the street
railway has laid its tracks so as to monop-
olize the better part of the road
Between the Mendel property obstruction
and the street car tracks at this point the
wheelway was next thing to perous TO
travel. Soft material does not seem TO hold
near the rails, and the result is the cross
ing is rarely ever in the best of condition
II Is the Intention of Alderman Dixon. he
says at some future time to require the
street railway to lay brick paving around
the tracks. so that the crossing may be
kept in better condition The curve lacks
much of being graceful, and was evidently
laid with little regard for the public con-
venience.

WABASH. Ind, Dec. S1-Dr. James II.
Ford, for nearly sixty years an honored
resident of Wabash. died at his home in
this city yesterday. He was afflicted with
no disease and succumbed to old age.
Though very weak he retained his mental
faculties to the end. DR.. Ford was born in
Cadiz, O., jan 10, 1872, and came to Wa
bash from Connersville, where he practced
medicine under DR.. Mason. four years, in
1871. He was the second man in Wabash
county to enlist after the rebellion broke
out and served as surgeon of the Eighth
Regiment, as brigade surgeon, and in 1863,
when he resigned, as medical director in the
field. He was among the incorporators of
the Northwestern Christian University, at
lrvington, and for eleven consecutive years
was trustee of that institution. He had
large practice in Wabash, until fifteen years
ago. when old age caused him to retire. Six
children were born to DR.. Ford and his wife,
the latter of whom died in 1891, and four
are still living-Dr. j. H. Ford, chief sur
geon of the Big Four Railway; Mrs. b. F.
Williams, wife of the auditor of Wabash
county; William Ford, at Hartford City,
and Edwin Ford, superintendent of the
Hartford City water works. DR.. Ford left
quite a large estate. A year ago he called
at the Wabash School Furniture Company
and had his coffin made in advance. He Sc
lected some fine CHARTERED oak gave ex-
pIlcit directions how he wished the caSket
finished and left his measure. 1t was COM

posed in the Wareroom ever since. To-day

ONTO cities without .Fire.

LIMA, o., Dec. 31.-There is great suffer-
ing here and in the other towns supplied
with natural gas from the Redkey, Ind,
pump station, which was destroyed by an
explosion this morning. Wapakonetta, St.
Mary's, Celina, Coldwater, Fort Recovery,
Hume and a number of other towns are on
the line and are probably worse off than this
city, as their source of reserve fuel supply
is not as great as here The mercury is
lowering near zero and the gas is out in
nearly every instance and only burning a
blaze as large as candle light and is grow
ing smaller. Few consumers had any prep
arationS for sudden shut-off, and the de-
mand on coal and wood yards and every
available team is such that all cannot be
served until tomorrow, even with the teams
and wagons running all night as will be the
case Hundreds of families have not had a
warm meal since breakfast, and there is no
likelihood of being able to get better gas be-
fore Monday evening. The demand for
plumbers is so great that those who have
succeeded in getting fuel cannot get the full
benefit of it, as they are unable to get their
burners arranged the plumbers having more
than they can do. What wood and coal
is being used gives poor results on top Of
the gas burners. The natural gas company
received word from Redkey tonight that
part of the pumps would be running by Mon
uaV evening.
