ALDERMAN scmwARz SAFE.

Alderman Schwarz has been advised that
he can legally hold both Of the city posi-
tons he now fills. There was some ques-
ton whether he could remain in Council,

PORK SENT TO CREMATORY.
Inspector Well Thought Farmers
Pigs Had Had Measles.

Food Inspector We'll condemned two
dressed pigs yesterday. whloh he thought
had had measles. A countryruan was try
ing to sell the pigs to a meat dealer in
the southern section, when the. inspector
happened along. He saw they didn't look
right, and considering it his duty to in
vestigate the condition of the meat. he
ordered the countryman not to make
further efforts to sell il.
Inspector Well generally learns his duty.
and then performs it fearlessly. He de-
capitated one of the pigs. and started for
The market with the head, where f e left
the case to the judgment of a butcher,
who gave it as his belief that the pig had
been a sufferer from measles. The head
was then taken to an alderman, who ad-
vised the inspector 10 condemn the meat.
Believing there was sufficient reason for
doing so, Inspector We'll returned to the
countryman' $ wagon, and ordered him to
drive to the crema tory, where the Ldgs
were thrown overheard

continuously until the time of his death.
After reaching manhood he became q
member of the police in the days of the
Old city watch, serving, among others, I'M
der Capt Lide Goodwin, deceased. For
several years previous to and during the
war Mr. Reilly was a lieutenant of the
police force He commanded the police
guard which had charge Of the large num-
Der of Northern prisoners. who were held
in Savannah during the greater part of the
war. lie was always vigilant in the per
Torrance Of his duty and several times had
narrow escapes
When the Confederate army evacuated
Savannah. the night before the Northern
army entered the city. great disorder pre-
vailed and many OF the stragglers from
Wheelers cavalry engaged in ransacking
and footing the stores. Lieut.. Reilly ar
rested two of these marauders and took
them. to the police barracks, the office be-
ing then in the old quarters which now

MAY BE A REGULAR OFFICER.
His Friends Believe Capt. Austin
VIII Get stan Appointment.

Capt. w G.. Austin left last night for
Washington. The friends of Capt Austin
are making a strong effort to have him
appointed to a captaincy in the regular
army. Under the Hull bill there will be
a number Of appointments from civn life,
and it is thought by those who know Capt.
Austin and are familiar with his history
and ability that he should be one of the
fortunate applicants who get in.
capt. Austin said yesterday that he had
made application for a staff appointment,
but that he could not tell what his
chances Of success might be. By mod
ihcatlon of the original bill the law as
passed calls for a reduction in the num-
Der Of staff officers. This means that
there will be 35l less to be appointed than
was contemplated when the bill was
drawn.
The decrease in the number of appoint
ments to be made. of course, lessons
Capt. Austins chances for receiving one
of them. Yet his many friends here trust
he VIII be successful, and. with the strong
influence he can bring to bear and the
aid that has been enlisted in his behalf
there seems every reason 10 believe he
win be one of those appointed.
A point that will be sure to count with
the appointive power will be Capt. Aus
tins peculiar suitability for a military
life. Ills training in the regular army has
been supplemented by experience IN the
militia forces of the state, and cap
taincy held in the Savannah Volunteer
Guards during the tine they We're in the
service fitted him for the duties of an Of
hcer. Though it is a matter he himself
never mentions, Capt. Austin has a token
that came from Congress in recognition
of his coolness and courage in the field.
This is a medal of honor that was voted
him for conspicuous bravery and gallant
rY in battle. In the battle of Wounded
Knee, Capt. Austin, who was then an en-
listed man in the Seventh Cavalry, dis
played such signal courage as to win the
recognition of his officers. His conduct
was made known to Congress and the
medal was the result.
1t is said there are one or two other
Savannah military men who are ambi-
tous to secure appointments in the regu-
lar army, and il is possible that this city
may be represented in the army by others
than the officers who are holding POSI-
tons. Just what grade may be given is
not known, but his friends believe Capt.
Austin, for one will not be rendered any
thing beneath a captaincy.

MEMORIAL TO TOMOCHICHI.

Permit for II In Wright Square.

Permit for II In Wright Square.
At a meeting of the Park and Tree Com
mission at the city exchange yesterday af-
ternoon permission was granted the Geor-
gia Society of Colonial Danes to erect a
monument to Tomochichi in Wright
square. 1t 10 intended to ereoG the me-
mortal on the spot where the old Indian
chief is supposed TO have been buried.
Mrs. Thomas S. Morgan, who is at the
head of the committee engaged in raising
the memorial fund, made the request for
the permit in letter to the commission.
There was no objection, of course 10 al
lowing the monument erected, as there is
no doubt but il will add 20 the beauty and
rial could not probably be placed where it
viii be seen by more people.
Chairman Dafin submitted a letter he
had received from MIR. George B. Sud
worth, with the forestry division of {he
agricultural department at Washington.
The letter is g reply to one from Chair
man Dan, with which he sent a copy of
his annual report TO the Mayor.
Il read the report of the work of the
Park and Tree Commission with great
pleasure" Mr.. Sudworth says, and may
add that my personal interest in this very
commendable work has not tagged an
atom since my last visit to your city. I
hope at some future time to visit Savan-
nah and see for myself the advancement
that has been made since the new work
was begun"
