and our citizens cannot go TO san
Francisco in great numbers. The reso-
luton, which is as follows, was unaili-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That this Board OF Irus-
tees communicate with the General
Committee at San Francisco appolnleo
TO receive the volunteers, and ask theih
to kindly notify us when the steamer
Sherman is sighted. On receiving TINS
notification the fire whistles are TO De

whistles and bells throughout the city
invited to do likewise. When our cltl-
zens hear the alarms, let them all JOIN
in erecting Old Glory upon their varl-
Gus flag staffs throughout the city"
Tebbets said that as the local COM
mittee of the National Guard as a
body will probably go to San Francisco
to the reception, the city should show
it's patriotism. He moved that S10O be
appropriated from the immigration
fund.
Dolan and Devine stated that the
Supervisors and San Francisco Com
mittee had made arrangements to pay
the expenses of the troops.
Tebbets urged the appropriation for
the credit of the city, but the motion
received no second.
Tebbets was insistent, and moved
that 800 be appropriated for the San
Francisco Committee of Reception, to
aid in the reception of our soldiers.
Kent and Devine said it was a small
amount to offer from the Capital City,
and moved to postpone action for a
week.
The motion was lost, as was the mo-
tion to appropriate the money.
Bentley said the cannery company
was desirous of putting in a switch on
Sixth street, to run along it's property,
which would cross the foot of F street.
He offered resolution granting per-
mission. which was adopted.
TO INSPECT REGISTRATION,
Bentley moved that the Mayor be re-
quested to appoint some person of sufti-
cient standing in the community to
command respect and confidence of the
people to inspect the registration of
voters and investigate suspicious char
acters offering to register.
Dolan moved to amend that the
Mayor be requested to appoint Max T.
Fisher to inspect registration. He said
| he did so because he felt the people
would have confidence in his work.
Bentley said the charter did not allow
the board to suggest the employment
of any person to the Mayor, but Dolan
pointed out that Fisher was already in
the employ of the city, and it was only
request that he be detailed for a
certain duty.
After some discussion it was decided,
on motion Of Dolan, that the Mayor.
/ Chief of Police and Police Committee
be requested to place Max P Fisher on
the day beat including the Courthouse,
in order that he may inspect persons
| offering for registration.
The board then adjourned.

Still More Counterfeitinp,

The secret service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, which
are so cleverly executed that the average
person would never suspect them of be-
ing spurious. Things of great value are
always selected by counterfeiters for I'M
itation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's S
Stomach Bitters, which has many imita-
tors, but no equals for indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters sets things
right in the stomach, and when the stoIn-
ach is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the Bit
ters get at the seat of strength and vi
tality, and restore yigor to the weak and
debiltated. Beware of counterfeiters

Gibson, \. c., March 3.-(Special.) -

bad and rations generally unsatisfac-
tory.
At this point Major Lee, counsel for
General Miles, raised the first issue
with the court. Witness said he had
certain letters written home from Cuba,
describing the conditions there from day
to day. He offered to read them, but
Colonel Davis declined. Major Lee
stated that he thought the letters should
he admitted as evidence, tending to bring
out wildly the very conditions which
were being inquired into. The court de
clined to entertain this suggestion.
Lieutenant Thayer, who was aboard
the Yale on her trip to Porto I.ico
supported the preceding witness in all
the mcomplimentary things they had
said of the canned roast beef.
Major Lee continued the eXamna-
ton and elected the fact that the
refrigerator beef served aboard the
Yale was so offensive that if was re-
puIsive even in soups and stews. Major
Lee also got from tile Wlllless ue-
tailed description of the canned beef to
the effect that it was in long strips in
the can, the meat being held together
by long strips of fibre or gristle which

THANKS TO SPEAKER coNNoR.
A Force of Clerks in the House That is
just the Finest at AL

The dead dull drudgery in the House
yesterday was broken by two pleasant
Incidents
To the tired-bodied and heavy-cyed
legislators. many of whom had harily
been to bed the night before, these
incidents must have been especially
pleasant.
The first was the following resolution
introduced by Mr.. Johnson Pop), Of
Sampson: "Resoved that the thanks
of the House of Representatives are
hereby rendered to Hon. II. G. Connor
for the able, impartial and dignified
manner in which he has presided over
this body during its session of 1890"
Speaking to this resolution Mr.. John
son paid high tribute TO Judge Connor
and, on behalf of the PopuIist members,
thanked him for his fair rulings and inn
partial treatment of them
For the Republicans Mr.. Petree, of
Stokes, spoke. He said Judge Connor
had been ever considerate. just and
thoughtful, knowing no mans politics
in his rulings.
'The Democratic majority added
Mr. Petree, 'has been sometimes per-
haps disposed to ride a little rough-shod
over us. But this has only been when
urged on by the heat of politics. For
the most part their treatment of the
minority has been all that could be
asked or expected"
Smith (col. Rep), of Craven had voted
for Judge Connor for Speaker and now
he was glad to see his political collea-
CUES, who had at the time criticised his
action, coming over TO his way of think
ing.
Judge Connor was not In the hall Mt
the time, Mr.. Ray, of Macon, being in
the chair.
The motion to adopt the resolution
prevailed unanimously.
Another incident no less pleasant was
the presentation of a beautiful scarf pin
to Mr.. Brevard Nixon, the chief clerk.
The pin was the gift of the other clerks
in Mr.. Nixon's office, ana its presenta-
ton was made by Mr. Clarkson. Of
Mecklenburg.
In doing so Mr. Clarkson spoke appre-
ciatively of Mr.. NiXon's splendid ser
vices to the House and of the kind
and thoughtful conduct toward his sub
ordinates. And added:
to you their thanks and appreciation.
To them you have been kind and in
dulgent; to us you have been faithful
and true. In presenting you with this
token of the love and esteem of your
fellow clerks allow me to add the wish,
which is also their wish, that your
life may be one filled with prosperity
and happiness"
1t may be well in this connection to
add that no General Assembly has ever
had a more faithful, efficient and ac-
commodating force of clerks than has
this one No one knows this better than
do the newspaper men, for they are
continually making calls upon the kind
ness and patience of these hard-worked
clerks.
The clerk force in the House is as

Savannah, Ga, March 3.-Some CON
Germ has been felt here since the Georgia

board and the Florida Central and
Peninsula, lest the projected great ter
minals of the Georgia and Alabama at
this place be abandoned and the Sea-
boards terminals at Portsmouth, Va,
be used for the new system. Anxiety
on this score, however, has been allayed
by the letting to W. w. Hegeman, of

dredging and piling for the terminals
across the river from this city. The
contract provides that the work shall be
in progress by April 1st The Georgia
