TO DISMISS SUSPECTS.
Passengers of the Alpha May Leave
Detention Camp Saturday.

The passengers of the steamer Alpha,
who played in such hard luck twelve days
ago by being on the vessel when a case
of smallpox was discovered, will be re-
leased from detention at the quarantine
station day after tomorrow. Ever since
they have been detained there, they have
been eagerly looking forward to the day
of their deliverance, and it will come to
them in joy, gladness and thanksgiving.
Life at the quarantine station has not
been one long dream of happiness for
them, and not one will murmur when the
word comes that he is free to so his
way.
But one case has developed among the
sixteen or seventeen passengers who were
detained. That was the little colored boy,
a brother of the little girl who had the
disease aboard the steamer. and who was
the innocent cause of all the trouble. He
has grown better, and it is thought he
will recover from the disease.
The dismissal of the passengers from
detention on Saturday will be contingent
upon small pox not making its appearance
among any more of them. 1t is not believ-
ed it viii. but, if it should. the hopes Of
the passengers that they may soon get
away from the station will be Blasted.
Fourteen days is the incubation period
of smallpox Saturday will be the ff-
teenth since the isolation of the passen-
gers, and all danger will have passed If
none of them develops the disease within
that period.

GIVE THEM AMMUNITION.
Each Company VIII BE Provided
With "A Supply by the state.

With "A Supply by the state.
Each of the military companies in Geor-
gia that is so situated as to have a rifle
range within access for practice will be
issued 1000 rounds of ball cartridges, 1,o00
rife bullets and 1000 primers. The issue
will be made as soon as the requisition
upon the general government is granted.
The aid from the state will be material,
as all the companies that have rife prac-
tice during the season find the expense
Gather heavy. The supply from the state
will not be, by any means, adequate for
the practice that is engaged in by most
of the Savannah companies, though it will
be a decided help. The desire of the state
TO encourage rifle shooting is seen in the
granting of the ammunition, however, and
in that there is quite a good deal of sat
isfaction to the soldiers.
Col. George T. Cam, inspector general
of rifle practice, made the recommendation
that has resulted in the decision to issue
the ammunition. He saw the necessity
for the state giving the soldiers the aid.
The rifle practice season is now open.
having been ushered in on Feb. L. Col.
Cam recommended that the season be Of
greater duration, and the officers and men
of the service in Savannah indorse the
step.

GARDENER DIED ALONE.
William Conrad Passed Away With
out Anyone to Administer.

The body of William Conrad, IAN aged
German landscape gardener, was found
stark and cold, early yesterday afternoon
at his bachelors quarters, at President
and Drayton streets.
a message had been received at police
headquarters that Conrad had not been
seen for two days and a request was
made that an officer be sent to his rooms
upstairs at the address given. Desk Ser
geaut Baughn received the telephone mes
sage and hurried Bicycle Officer Chrsty
to the place. The door was locked from
the inside but the patrolman managed
to secure admittance by using a skeleton
key.
Conrads body was found in the bed
and It was seen at a glance that he had
died natural death. Coroner J. G. Kel-
Ter was notified and gave a certificate
that he had como to his death from
Bright disease. The man was la seen
Monday morning and probably died dur
ing that night. From the surroundings
he breathed his last while still asleep
and probably suffered no pain when he
began his journey to another world. Mr..
Conrad was about 6S years of age and
was well known among the Germans. He
was well thought Of by oil who knew him
and his funeral this afternoon in Laurel
Grove Cemetery will probably be largely
attended.
