EAGAN FOUND GUILTY
Sentenced to Dismissal With
Recommendation for Mercy.
M'KINLEY MAY COMMUTE

Believed IN Washington That the PresI-
dent VIII Mitigate the Sentence -ver-
diet Forwarded to tie Secretary of
War.
Washington. ID. c.. Jan. 30.--General
Eagan, commissary general of subsist-
ence, has been found guilty of the
charges of conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger and a gentleman and of conduct to
the prejudice of good order and dis
cipline and of the specifications there
to, and has been sentenced to dsmis-
sal from the United States army, but
with recommendation from the court
for the exercise of executive clcmency.
Only President Mckinley stands be-
tween General Eagan, commissary gen.
eral, and dismissal from the military
service of the United States.
Without delay the court signed its
verdict OF dismissal Saturday and Lieu
tenant Colonel Davis, judge advocate.
delivered the record and finding to the
secretary of war. The court then ad-
tOurned sine die and Lieutenant Colo
mel Davis left for West Point.
In view of the order converting the
court. requiring 1t to try General Ea-
gan, "and such other persons as may
be brought before it," there were some
who thought that the administration
expected that there would be devel.
opments during the trial which would
enable 1t to bring General Miles be-
fore the court.
But 1t is explained at the department
that the order was in the usual form,
and that even If the administration
had any charges to prefer against
General Miles, it could not bring him
before the Eagan court because of it's
final adjournment.
Upon receipt of the record and find
ing Secretary Alger transmitted them
to Judge Advocate General Lieber, and
that official, with his assistant, Major
Morrison, Is now engaged in making
brief of the evidence and reviewing the
record to see that it is in proper form.
The army regulations require that
the case Shall be forwarded through
the commanding general of the army
for such remarks and recommendation
as he may see fit to make" General
Miles expects that the regulation will
be waived in this case. but, even If it
is not, he will simply indorse the pa
pers respectfully forwarded to the
secretary of war;" and this will end
his connection with the matter.
1t is reported that the president, In
view of the testimony brought out
during the trial. will, as has been done
before. order medical board to de-
termne whether General Eagan was
responsible for the statements he
made, and If the board should so rec
Ommend, retire him. In any event IL
seems to be the general impression that
the president will mitigate the sem
tence.
Before disposing of the Eagan case
it is thought that the president will
act on that of Captain Carter of the
Corps of Engineers. The record and
finding of the court martial that tried
Captain Carter are now before the at
torney general, who is consulting with
Colonel Barr, of the judge advocate
generals department relative TO it. 1t
In understood that action in Carters
case will shortly be taken

LAW ON ENCOURAGEMENT.
city Authorities Intend 20 Enforce
II to the Letter Hereafter.

There is considerable talk as to the
policy the city viii adopt in the future
as to encroa chments, but it is Claimed
that there will be no departure from the
straight and narrow path prescribed by
the law. on this subject the law is sim
pie, and may be thoroughly understood
by everybody.
Director Gadsden said yesterday tina;
the only way he sees to stop encroach-
ments is an impartial enforcement of the
law, which will doubtless have the effect
of causing property owners to be more
careful in their building. It is claimed
there has been too many special permits
for encrOachments granted. and that this
has had a bad effect in encouraging the
practice Knowing what has followed this
free exercise of discretion, by which en-
croachments are allowed on condition
they are 10 be removed whenever the city
so desires, the privilege has been greatly
abused
Referring to encroachments by steps or
porticos, which are the most common, the
code says ii shall not be lawful to oc-
cupy any part OF the sidewalks or pave
ments for steps or porticOs in future, and
no steps or porticos shall be so built as
TO encroach upon any part of the streets or
lanes; Provided, That the owner or own
ers of any house or building erected prior
to the passage of the ordinance, TO the
reasonable use and enjoyment of which
steps, or a portico, are or is a necessity
shall be permitted upon application Of
Council and approved thereof by Couu-
Gil, to occupy not exceeding four feet OF
the sidewalk of the street Out not of
the lanes), measured from the inner line
thereof for steps or pOrucos; and prov d.
ed. further, that nothing herein contained
shall be held to prevent the Mayor and
aldermen from permitting the erection of
steps or porticos in the streets of the city
on any block on which a majority of the
lots already have steps or porticos in
the streets
With reference to the south of Ander-
SON street, the ordinance says that it shall
be unlawful to build any portico, stoop
or other structure within the lines of any
street or lane, and any person violating
the provisions of this ordinance shall, on
conviction thereof in the Police Court of
Savannah, be fined for each offense in
such sum no greater than 500, as the Of
Tense pending in the Police Court shah
determine, or be imprisoned not more
than thirty days, either or both, as the
officers presiding in the court shall deter
mine.
The street and lane committee has
come to realize the fact that strict meth
DDS must be adopted in keeping the streets
clear. There is a natural inclination to
get out as far as possible, and but for
the watchfulness of the city's employees,
there would soon be a maze of porticos and
other extensions, into the streets.

LOOKING FOR A FIGHT.
John Carr Puts Up IA Forfeit of $50
ON COrcOrnn.

After remaining quiet for time John
Carr has gotten back into sporting circles
and has taken Tom Corcoran under his
wing. Carr is determined that Cor
coran shall have another fight at an early
date and prefers thet he should meet an
Alabama man. Like the rest of Corco-
rams hackers Carr is sore on the re-
suit of the recent Corcoran-
fight, in which the decision was given
to Mccullough on a foul. He wishes it
understood that there will be no Atlanta
referee at the next fsht.
Il have posted $50 with owen Travers,"
said Carr yesterday, "as forfeit
that Corcoran VIII meet any man Of his
weight in the South, a Birmingham man
preferred for $500 a side. Corcoran's
fighting weight is las pounds but he will
give or take five pounds"
MIR. McElroy, of Birmingham, who was
McCullough's hacker in the recent fight
stated his willingness to ind a man to
meet Corcoran at any weight he might
choose TO night at. This viii give him
a chance if he wants to make another
match. Mr.. Cars last appearance in
sporting circles was as the hacker of
Jack Dempsey, previous to his last fight
with Robert Fitzsimmons, the recently
defeated champion, al New orleans. The
little nonparen fought his last fight and
went down gameiy, being overma tched by
Fltzsimmons in about the same degree
as FitZsimmons was overmatched by Jeff
ries in the New York fight.
