"GORDON's BRIGADE"
Ex-Members of Gen. w. w. GOrdOn's
Command Perpetunte the Name.

Command Perpetunte the Name.
An ex-member of the Second Louisiana
Volunteers, now living in Savannah, has
received letter from a friend in New Or
leans, in which the latter states that an
Organization known as Gordon's Brigade,
with headquarters in New Orleans,
has been formed. The organization is
composed of the ex-members of the Second
Louisiana, Second Texas and Second Ala
bama, the three regiments which com
posed the Second Brigade of the First Di-
vision of the Seventh Army Corps and of
which Gen. w. w. Gordon was the com
mander.
Gen. Gordon commanded the brigade at
Mobile, Miami and Jacksonville. The Sec
ond Louisiana was the only one of the
three regiments composing the brigade
which was mustered out in Savannah, the
other two regiments having been muster
ed out in the fall of 1898, shortly after the
treaty of peace with Spain. Cen Gordon,
it will be remembered, was, after the dis
solution of his brigade, appointed a mem
Der of the Porto Rican commission. The
letter states that the organization has
been named in homer of Gen. Gordon, be-
cause of the high esteem and regard in
which he was held by all the members of
his command.

SKULL WASHED UP BY THE SEA.
Light Keeper sissOn's Grewsome
Find on Turtle Island Beach.

Iiebt Keeper sIssOn's GrewsOme
Find on Turtle Island Beach.
Keeper sisson of Venus Point light made
a erewsome find on the beach Of Turtle
Island day before yesterday The skull
of some unfortunate man whom the sea
had claimed as its victim was given back
to the earth, a clew, perhaps. to the loss
of some loved one whose life and body
were swallowed up by the remorseless
deep.
The grim remnant Of mortality was
washed up by the tide some distance from
the sailors burying ground that has been
a part of the island for years, as If trying
to find a burial place with companion
relics of men who had gone before.
The skull had the appearance to Keeper
ssson of having been in the
water about year. portion
Of it was gone, the lower part
Some of the teeth are missing, but there
are marks that might identify IL to one
who had known the peculiar shortness of
some of the teeth compared with others.
The skull is of medium size, though 1t
may have been that of either a tall or
short person.
Keeper Sisson took the uncanny object
home with him. A year ago last week,
Lieut. Morgan, assistant engineer in charge
of the fortifications at Tybee, was drown
ed about two miles off Turtle Island, while
trying to rescue a couple of shipwrecked
sailors A patrol was kept up for some
time but his body was never recovered.
1t was supposed to have been washed in
and lodged underneath the jetties. Keeper
Sisson thought when he found the skull
that It might be that of the brave engln-
eer. who lost his own life while attempt
ing to save that of others.

Dry jm-jams or business horrors can

principal of life insurance. Only those

without insurance than with it. Life Is
a chance, life insurance is a dead GER

the insurance policy such as issued by
the Massachusetts Mutual Life, protects
every minute. No cessation. There is
no forgetfulness about this contract. Har-

FOR ARSON AND BURGLARY.
David CrumIey Arrested on Serious
Charges.

David Crumley, colored, was lodged in
the barracks yesterday by Detective Soul
ly, charged with burglary and arson. The
basement of the frame house at York and
Drayton streets was found in a blaze Sat-
urday night a week ago, and after the
blaze had been extiuguished with few
buckets of water it was found that the
basement had been burglarized and then
set fire to.
The basement Is occupied by negroes, but
white people occupy the rest of the house.
The blaze was a small affair and did not
attract much attention and it was not un-
til It was discovered that the basement
had been burglarized that the idea of ar
son suggested itself.
Detective Scully has put in some good
work during the last week on the case and
is satisfied that he has the right man.
