BOARD OF TRADES YEAR.
OFFICERS WILL MAKE THEIR AN
NUAL REPORTS TO-DAY.

The Annual Election VIII BE Held
dency the Absorbing Topic Among
the Members-The Friends of Mr..
A. ID. Moore Are Active and San
guine-Capt. Purse Is Making No
Canvass and His Friends Hold
That His Past Record Is Sufficient
10 Insure His Election.
The Board of Trade will hold its an
nual meeting to-day at noon. The mem
bers of the board will hear reports from
the officers and from the various COM
mites upon the work of the year. AS
usual, it is expected that the report of the
president, Capt. D. G. Purse in which
he will review the work of the board, to-
gether with the city's commercial pro-
gress during the year, will be the chief
feature of interest.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year will not take place until to-day
week. Naturally the annual meeting will
furnish the opportunity for considerable
caucussing among the members upon the
question of the next president, and it
may be possible after to-days meeting, to
form an idea as to whether Capt. Purse
will continue at the head or whether he
will be succeeded by Mr.. A. B. Moore.
AS has already been stated by the
Morning News, the friends of Mr.. A. B.
Moore have been making a very active
canvass in his behalf, and the more san
guine among them assert that his cleo
ton is assured. 1t should not be very
difficult to figure this out. The member
ship of the board is small and it is not
expected that there will be more than fifty
votes cast, on account of the number of
absentees and the fact that several MEM
bers are on the sick list. 1t is predicted
that % or at most, 20 votes, will settle the
question.
Capt. Purse is not making any canvass
and his friends do not regard ii as neces-
sary. His past services to the board aud
the prominence which he has given ii in
ell matters affecting the city's welfare
are considered sufficient to insure his
election. Mr.. Moore's supporters on the
other hand, while not undertaking the
value of Capt. Purses services to the
city, hold that the time has come when
the board must look more to its own i'm
mediate interest or otherwise it will
members or to the city. Fhey point to
its decreased membership, and to the
fact that it does not command the sup
port of some of the large business inter
ests of the city in proof of their asser-
ton. They hold that if the board is to
be made of real value to the city, and to
its members that it must become more
representative of the business interests of
the community, and that this can best
be accomplished by a change in the man
agement and the bringing in of new blood.
Capt. Purse is not al all exercised over
the matter, and says that he is not max
ing any race. He has held the position
now for nine consecutive years, and has
expressed his willingness to be relieved of
the duties on the occasion of each annual
election. If he should not BIS continued
a the head of the board for the ensuing
year, it is safe to predict that he viii
nevertheless be st!ll found in the ranks
and one of the most active enthusiastic
members as he has always been.

THE BAY STREET TRACK.
Councils Special Committee Called
10 Meet To-day.

10 Meet To-day.
Mayor Myers has called a meeting of
the special committee on the Bay street
track for to-day. This committee con-
sists of Aldermen Dixon, Bacon, Wells
and Haas, together with the Mayor. OF
the members of the committee, Alderman
Dixon is strongly opposed to granting
the franchise, and Alderman Bacon is I'M
derstood to hold practically the same
views. Aldermen Wells and Haas are
regarded as favorable to the franchise,
under safe conditions, but are conserva-
tive In their views.
The Mayors position Is uncertain. At
first he seemed inclined to favor the
proposition, but of late he had been
rather doubtful AS the fate of the
measure in all probability depends upon
the report of the committee, it's pros
poets are not overly bright.
The Council appears to occupy about
the same position toward the measure as
the committee. a minority of the mem
bers are strongly opposed to granting the
franchise, another minority favors grant
ing it, but not quite so strongly as those
who are in opposition, while three or four
members have not expressed any decided
opinion.
City Engineer VIM has made some
surveys and estimates for the committee
of possible routes by which the tracks
can be brought TO Bay street The COM
mittee will take these under consldera-
ton and will probably so over the pro
posed routes,

UNIFORMS WILL SOON BE HERE.
Company Commanders Have Re-
ceiyed the Invoices.

CGhsGu tne Invoices.
1t is probable that the commanding off,
GERS of the Savannah military companies
will receive their allotted number of uni
forms within the next day or two. Invoices
have been received by the captains from
both the government and the state, and
it is thought the next two or three days
should see the delivery of the uniforms.
Forty to company are allowed. They
will be very welcome 10 all the captains.
When they are received there will be
scarcely company in the city that will
not have its needed number of uniforms.
and all will be able to make much bet
ter appearance upon parades. The re-
moval OF the difficulty of having recruits
pay for their own uniforms will also great
ly help the cause OF military.
Commanding officers are anxious 10 ex-
anime the uniforms. They would like to
know whether they are of good quality. 1t
that no better uniforms were supplied than
were given out in the army during the war
with Spain. Those were Of the cheapest,
and the appearance of a company could
scarcely be enhanced by wearing them.
The government has supplied the state
with the uniforms, the cost being deducted
from the government appropriation to the
national guard 1t is probable that
Georgia buttons will have 10 be sewn on
the suits after their arrival. Il is also
improbable that cap ornaments will accom-
pany the caps.

ELI<S CHOOSE OFFICERS.
Retiring Exalted Ruler Presented n
Handsome badge.

The annual election of officers for Sa-
vannah Lodge of Elks was held at the
lodge rooms last night. There was a
large attendance, despite the attraction
at the Theater that drew many The fol-
lowing officers were elected without op-
position:
Exalted Ruler-J j. Kirby.
Esteemed Leading Knight-W. T. Dixon.
Esteemed Loyal Knight-W. l.. Meow
ern.
Lecturing Knight--R. L. Colding.
Secretary-L. j. Maxwell.
Treasurer-W. B. Puder.
There. W. Alley.
Trustee for Three Years-T. +. Thorn
son.
Mr.. w. T. Watson, the retiring exalted
ruler held that position for three years,
serving the lodge with great credit to
himself and advantage to it. During his
iucumbency the lodge met with great
success, doubling its membership, which
is now IT'S.
Mr. T. f. Thomson, who presided dur
ing the election, complimented all the
old officers upon their administration of
the lodges affairs. He also said he was
confident that fortune would continue to
smile upon the order under Mr.. Kirby's
rule, showing as great favors as it has
during that of Mr.. Watson.
To show the appreciation and gratitude
of the lodge for the excellence of the
work azSe for it by Mr. Watson, Mr.. r.
L. Colding, after the election, in a few
well-chosen words, delivered to him a
handsome Elk button. Diamonds stud
the handsome badge and make it a thing
of beauty to be highly priced and cher
ished by Mr.. Watson, who accepted it
neatly with thanks and best wishes for
his brother Elks.
The installation of the officers elected
will take place next Tuesday night.

Mrs. DOOner Lost Her Suit Against
Insurance COMPANY.

The case of Margaret Dooner against
the Standard Life and Accident Insurance
Company. for the collection of a 50 600
policy of insurance upon the life of the
plaintiffs husband, was brought 20
close in the Federal Circuit Court yes
Jerday by Judge Speer's direction of
verdict in favor of the defendant
The ruling of the court was based on
the showing made by the defendant as
to the non payment of premium note at
maturity, the maturity of the note taking
place a few days before the death of
Mr. Doouer. Judge Speer ruled that I'M
der the provisions of the policy its bind
ing force was destroyed by the non-pay-
ment of the premium note, and that for
this reason the plaintiff was not enti-
lied to recover

VISITED THE FIRE STATIONS.
Mayor and Fire Committee Made a
Tour of Inspection.

Mayor and Fire Committee Made a
Tour of Inspection.
Mayor Myers and the Fire Committee of
Council consisting of Aldermen Haas,
Dixon and Tiedeman, made a tour of in
spection of the fire department yesterday
afternoon, visiting all five of the engine
houses. The foremen had been notified of
the intention of the committee, and every
thing was in readiness to receive the Of
fetal visitors.
The visit was not for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the firemen were
giving attention to their duties, but to in
spect the condition of the property of the
department and more particularly the fire
fighting apparatus. While the condition
of the department is as good, If not bet
ter than ever before in its history, Alder
man Haas, who is chairman of the Fire
Committee, thinks there are a number of
minor improvements which could be made
for the benefit of the service. Superinteud-
ent Mcguire, who accompanied the party,
assisted Alderman Haas in explaining the
various improvements desired.
After completing the tour of the engine
houses the party visited the prospective
sight of the new engine house at Bar
nard and Eighth streets The city owns
three lots at this point, and it is not I'M
likely that a site will be allotted the fire
department there. AS the site would be
bounded by streets on three sides, Bar
nard Eighth and st. James, it is espe-
cially suited for fire station because Of
the ample exits which could be provided
for the apparatus.
A meeting of the Committee of the
Whole will probably be called the latter
part of the week at which the needs of
the fire department, including the cost Of
building, equipping and maintaining a
new engine house, will be presented by
Chairman Haas.
