TROPHY FOR NEW JERSEY.
COMMITTEES DECISION WAS
AGAINST THE GEORGIA TEAM.

Governor Voorhees, Rendered the De-
cfsIOn in New York Yesterday.
Capt. Williamson and Col. Brooks
TcIegraphed the Morning News of
It-EyIdence Proved That GeOr-
Eians Did Not Change Targets.
Austin, PhiIpot and Atkins Were
ReinStated-Decided That the
Georgia Team Had Sufficient
Grounds for Protest-Evidence aS
to Identity of the Targets on
which the Scores Were Made Was
mt Variance.
The protest Of the Georgia team in The
Hilton Trophy contest was not sustained
by the Executive Committee Of the New
Jersey Rife Association. This news was
telegraphed the Morning News from New
York last night BY Capt. ". W. william
son and Cob Jordan F. Brooks.
The committee decided that the evidence
submitted by the Georglans proved con-
cIusively that they had not changed the
targets, substituting another for the one
at which the New Jersey marksmen shot.
The sworn evidence Of range officers and
employees. the gentlemen telegraphed. was
such, however. as to the identity Of the
targets on which the Irregularities were
discovered that the committee decided it
was an impenetrable mystery as 10 which
was really shot at by the Jerseymen. Ac-
cordingly. it was decided that the protest
could not be sustained, as the Georgians
could not rebut the evidence Of the range
officers and employees.
But the evidence Of the Georgians was
admitted to be very strong. 1t was so
strong, In fact. that the committee rein
stated three members of the Georgia team
that 1t had debarred from future contests
at Sea Girt on the ground that they had
acted unfairly in visiting the pits [ night
and unaccompanied by a range officer to
examine the targets. These members were
Capt w. G. Austin and Private n. G.
Philpot of Savannah and Private Atkins
of Atlanta.
The committee further declared that the
Georgia team had sufficient grounds for
filing a protest and that not to have done
50 would have been dereliction of duty.
The decision Of tine committee was rem
dered by Gov. voorhees,.
This means that the Hilton Trophy win
go 10 New jersey. The gentlemen did not
touch upon ihal point IN their telegram
but it is taken for granted that they acc ut
the decision and will abide by it, The tro-
ply win doubtless be sent on 10 the New
Jersey team soon after the return of the
officers of the Georgia team from New
York.
Capt williamson. Col Brooks, Col A
r. Lawton. Capt. Austin and Private Phil
pot were the Savannah gentlemen who
went on TO attend the NEE ing Of the com
mittee. Private Atkins of Atlanta was also
present. No doubt the gentlemen were al
disappointed in the decision as viii be

Since the session at Chicago I have had
occasion 10 visit number of local assem-
blies, including those of Chicago and
Cleveland, and feel fully convinced that

Of organizers. During the coming year
the country will be again excited over the

will be waged for the control of affairs
Of this country for the succeeding four
years. l think, therefore, 1t behooves us
at this meeting to take up some of those
issues. in. order that our representative
men may be given the benefit of the Judg-
ment of all.
Perhaps the most important Of those is-
sues will be the trusts. The concentra ton
OF wealth as employed in the industries of
our country has made many strikes during
the past few years, and has resulted to
the worllingmen's detriment wherever
such combinations have been effected 1t
remains for US TO uphold the stand taken
by the founders of our order, who saw
the approach of the Condit on that is fast
coming on. How to meet it is a quest on
that should lie given your careful cons,d-
Grafton as the Knights of Labor, above all
other organizations, will lie expected to
speak on THIS important question
The war just closed with Spain has
brought US new posse ssions ard practically
a new people. How TO deal with them Just
iy and wisely and with a future regard for
our economic conditions, is a question also
upon which the Knights Of Labor should
be heard"

The Southern Railway IS progressing
with its arrangements for getting down to
business IN Savannah. The Offices Of both
the freight and passenger departments viii
be opened before many days have passed.
It is the present intention TO get the pas
senger Office established by Dec. l, and ii
may be that the freight agent viii be
able 10 get himself fixed up with quarters
by the same time
1t will be a matter Of interest to his
many friends IN Savannah TO learn that
Mr.. James Freeman has been appointed
city ticket agent for the Southern. He is
a young man Of ability. pleasing address
and attractive personality that will be
sure to make him popular with all the
patrons Of the Southern. The road may
be congratulated upon having started its
career in this city with the selection Of
Mr. Freeman for this position. He and Mr.
Randall Clifton, district passenger agent,
who was in the city yesterday, will to-

Mr.. S. II. Hardwick, assistant general
passenger agent for the Southern Railway,
was among the visitors to Savannah yes
terday. Mr.. Hardwick will be quite a
frequent visitor to Savannah in the fu-
ture, and In that its citizens will find mat
ter for congratulatiOn, as he has many
friends among them. The establishment
of Southern offices here will mean that
Mr.. Hardwick will be getting down from
his headquarters at Atlanta to look after
the business of his line. This morning
Mr.. Hardwick will leave for jacksonville.
His trip to this city was over from Charles
Aton, where he attended a meeting of gen
eral passenger agents of lines interested
in the proposed convention OF the National
Educational Association for that place.
Mr.. Hardwiek said the officials got to-
gether very nicely on the question of rates,
agreeing to all that was asked by the
secretary of the association, and something
more besides. The rates may well be very
low, as the roads will have a great deal
of business to handle if Charleston is set
tied upon as the place for the convention.
1t is said there will be an attendance of
some 1900 Other places are working for
the convention, and Ii may be that
Charleston Will not be successful.
Mr.. ]. ]. Griffin. travelling freight agent
for the Norfolk and Western Railway,
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Griftin's
headquarters are at Columbia.
The Southeastern Passenger Association
has offered a fare that will doubtless be
an inducement TO many visitors to attend
the Brunswick Fair. During it's progress
the rate charge by the railroads win be
one fare for the round trip, except on Nov.
2S and 80 and Dec. 2, when one cent a mile
will be charged these tickets limited to
two days.
The railroads confirm the announcement
of a rate of $150 for the military to Bruins
wick on Thanksgiving day. This rate
was originally announced by the Morn
ing News as that which would probably
prevail for the trip. 1t has not been de-
cded yet whether the Plant System or
the Florida Central and Peninsular will
get the business. That is a matter that
will rest with Col. A. r. Lawton of the
First Regiment.
