COMPANIES OF REGIMENT.
Met at Their Armories and Discussed
Plans for Their Welfare.


At their meeting last night the Irish
Jasper Greens decided to change their uni
forms as to make it conform to the pre-
scribed regulation of the state volunteers.
The state cap will be adopted and the
green facings of the blouse abandoned,
SO that in the future the Greens will be
uniformed like the other companies of the
regiment
1t will be matter of regret to some
of the older members that this change is
to be made. The historic associations that
in this case linger around the wearing
of the green were dear to the hearts of
the command, and the Greens are the last
of the companies of the First Regiment
to make the change the regulation. New
ertheless, it is accompanied by a distinct
advantage and gain, and the company
doubtless will appreciate it. 1t is hoped
to have the new uniforms here in time
for use in the parade during the Confed-
crate reunion, in the latter part of No
vember.
The German Volunteers decided that the
command would give ball about the mid
die of November. The details of the func-
ton were not arranged by the company,
but were left in the hands of a committee
vested with power to act. This commit
tee is as follows: Lieut. J. d. Helmkeu,
chairman; Sergt. F, A. Harms, Corpl. F.
Ehrens, Privates E. NJ. Oppenneim, H. W.
Suffer, ]. F. Vetter, George f. Harms and
H. Reisen. The committee is to report
progress at the next and ensuing meet
ings.
The meeting of the Cadets was signalized
by the discussion of a plan for the organi-
cation of an indoor baseball team. for
which officers were elected. The manager
is Lieut.. ]. c. Tyson; the secretar and
treasurer, Wilbur Coney, and the captain
George Elton. The organization of the
team is to be begun at once and it is
hoped that the old Military League will
be reorganized and a series of games
played during the coming season.
Al the meeting of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry committee was appointed to in
vestigate the chances of the commands
attendance upon the next reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans that will be
held in Louisville next spring. The COM
mittee consists of Capt. G. A. Gordon,
Capt. M. p. Usina, Lieut.. c. F. Law, Sergt
Branch LaF'ar and Private Duncan Kent.

way.
Health officer Drummer found one case of
smallpox at Douglas, where he was called
Saturday by the town authorities. He
advised the authorities as to the best
methods for preventing the spread of the
disease.
DR.. Drummer was not surprised at the
statement from Health officer Porter of
Florida, published in yesterdays Morning
News, concerning the conditions at Miami,
and advising the depopulation of the town
as the best means of bringing the epidemic
to close. AS the refugees will naturally
head northward, Dr.. Drummer and his
force Of inspectors are maintaining a spe-
cial watch in the direction of Miami
Recent developments at New Orleans
have tended 10 confirm the impression en-
tertained by DR.. Drummer that the disease
was more widespread there than the Of
fetal reports were indicating. Charges
were made by DR.. Randolph, a member
of the state Board of Health, residing a
Alexandria, to the effect that the official
reports of the president of the board did
not represent the true state of affairs in
the city. The charges were investigated
by the board, and the president, DR.. Ed
mond Souchon. sustained. 1t was evident
that DR.. Souchon, as president of the
board, had reported all cases reported TO
him by the city health officer. The system
in vogue at New Orleans requires that
the local physicians shall make reports
of all cases of yellow fever to the city
health officer, who, i'm turn, reports to the
president of the State Board of Health
This evidently allows a very large loophole
if there is any disposition on the part
of the local physicians 70 conceal the state
of affairs

Mayor Myers received a letter from
Lieut.. T. NJ. Brumby yesterday. acknowl-
edging the receipt of the invitation ex-
tended him by the committee which went
to Washington last week to visit Savan-

tion extended by the Mayor and aldermen
of the city of Savannah to accompany Ad-
miral Dewey upon the occasion of his visit
to Savannah. l should be most happy to
accompany the Admiral to a city in my
native state, of which 1 have heard so
much and which l have never had the
pleasure Of visiting. Thanking the alder
men through you. and with many thanks
to you for the pleasing form of the invi-
tation / am. very sincerely, etc"
Mayor Myers said that he is satisfied that
Admiral Dewey will carry out his ex-
pressed intention Of visiting Savannah this
spring, aud 1t is expected ana desired. of
course, that Lieut.. Brumby will accom-

nah would feel very much disappointed
If they should not have the pleasure of
entertaining the only Georgian who ac-
qured distinction in the naval warfare
with Spain.

Another damage suit against the Savan-
nah Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Rail
way was filed yesterday in the City Court
The plaintiff is S. c. Catherwood, who
sues for 5000 damages for the death of
his son, Leon, years old, who was killed
by one of the company's cars in Deem
Der 1897
The petition alleges that the boy was
playing along the line of the track on
Abercorn street in the late afternoon or
early evening, after it had become quite
dark. A car passed rapidly along, and at
tached 10 IT, by an iron bar ten feet in
length, was a trailer. There was no light
on the trailer and no employee of the COM
pany to look after the safety of those
passing along the street.
After the front car had passed the boy
attempted TO cross the track and was
caught under the wheels of The trailer
which he had not see, and was dragged
over a hundred feet He was terribly
mangled and died a few days after the
accident occurred.
II is alleged that the accident was the
result of the gross negligence of the CON-
pany in having but one emp,oye Inc mo-
torman in charge of the two cars, and in
having no light on the trailer. Ii is charg-
ed, too, that The company was negligent
in having the trailer attached 10 the front
ca in the manner it did, by d cable or bIr
of iron ten feet long. 1t is alleged that had
the trailer been attached directly to the
front car that the acc dent could not have
been possible
The case has once already had a partial
trial in the City Court, when it was with
drawn by the at ornsy for he plaintiff be

claraticn, possibly, was not in such form
as would meet the requirements of tho
