PREPARING FOR SHOOT.
Third of the Revolver Contests Will
he Held Sept IL.


The third of the revolver contests be-
tween a team of Savannahians and a
team from Fort Screven, Tybee Island,
will be held on neutral ground on Sept.
Ii. This was decided upon yesterday
at a conference between Capt. j. C..
Postell and DR.. Hicks. The Savannah
team will consist of Capt. Postell and
Capt. w. G. Austin. DR.. Hicks and
Private Brice will represent the garri-
son.
Lieut.. Peace will represent the gar
rison team, while Mr.. c. S. Richmond
will represent the Savannah team in
making all the arrangements for the
contest The Savannah team wants
TO use the standard American target,
which has circles about the bullseye,
but the team from Fort Screven pre-
fers the regulation military target,
which has ellipses. 1t is probable that
the military target will be used.
Thus far each team has won
match, and the third is to be the rub
Der. In the first contest, which was
held at the Avondale Rife Range, the
Savannah team defeated the garrison
team by seven points. In the second
contest, which was held at Tybee. the
Savannah team was defeated by three
points, which, If the totals were to be
counted, would leave the Savannah
team four points ahead.
AS each team has won match on
its own grounds, it has been decided
that it would be better to have the
third on neutral grounds. Announce
ment of the grounds selected must be
made the day before the contest, in
order that friends of the contestants
may be informed as many of them

day, Florida has lost one of her most de-
voted and estimable daughters. AL
though unassuming and retiring, Miss
Gotten was no ordinary woman. Barely
yet reached middle age, her life will
survive as an example of graciousness
and usefulness, and her death is mourned
as loss not easily supplied. Her father
was the late Frederick Gotten, native
of Tarboro, n. c., who moved to Florida
some years before the sectional war and
became literally landed proprietor in
the Piedmont country, of which Talla-
hassee is the center His acres were
counted by the tens of thousands and his
slaves by the hundreds, and at the out
break of the great conflict he was ac-
counted one of Floridas wealthiest citi-
zens. War swept away wealth, but
enough was left the proud landholder to
give his three daughters, of whom Miss
Elizabeth was the youngest, the best ed
ucation which Baltimore's famous pTi-
Eate schools afforded. Highly cultured
undaunted by adversely, bereft by mis-
fortune of none of those noble and at
tractive qualities which characterize the
higher type of Southern women. Miss
Elizabeth Gotten had for a generation
been a favorite in the aristocratic social
life of Florida'S capital"

at Mr. Penney and it was thought ne
intended to speak, but he did not.
Judge Lewis then addressed the court
at length saying that he had called upon
the defendant, but had been unable to
ascertain of any wish on the defend
ants part as to the employment OF
counsel. He said that his associates,
Judge Titus, was in Milwaukee, but that
he had appeared informally to enter
plea of not guilty on behalf of the de-
fendant as the law required such a plea
under the circumstances.
He asked permission to reserve the
right to withdraw the plea and enter
special plea or interpose a demurrer, IL
after consulting with Judge Titus they
should decide not to ask the court to
assign other counsel.
The judge expressed his regret that
his name had been mntioned in connec-
tion with this trial as he had been out
of practice for some considerable time
and had a very strong repugnance to
appearing although that was reason
which would apply to every lawyer.
District Attorney Penney gave notice
| that he would move to have the indict-
ment transferred to the Supreme court
| for trial and would also notice the trial
| for next Monday morning.
I know of no reason why the defend
ant should not be ready next Monday"
replied Judge Lewis. At his request,
however, the orders will not be entered
until Judge Titus returns, which will
probably be within a day or two.
Judge Lewis said that he might also

to examine the prisoner as the district
attorney had informed him that emil

to the belief that a special plea of in

from this place, caused the death of
six miners and the serious injury OF
three others, besides much damage to
the tunnel in which the explosion oc-

AS soon as the explosion occurred a
messenger was sent to the Pocahontas
mine, seven miles away, to telephone
here for assistance. He stated that at
the time of the accident the entire force
of 100 miners was in the mine, and 1t
was thought that all had perished. A
later messenger brought the informa-
tion that less than half an hour pre-

but few of the employees had gone
off duty. thus preventing a more serious
catastrophe. The explosion was caused
by gas becoming ignited by the blasts.

Into the Rotunda.

Washington, Sept. 17.-For hours be-
fore the arrival of the funeral cortege
at the east front of the capitol, an i'm
penetratable Gordon of people was mass
ed along the walk and areas fronting the
plaza. Thousands upon thousands of
sorrowing people had gathered here to
pay their last tribute of respect and love
to the memory of the dead magistrate.
drizzling rain began early to fall, but
just before 10 o'clock the gray heavens
opened and the rain fell almost in tor
rents.
At 1912 the head of the procession ar
rived at the north end of the capitol
plaza Headed by Major General John
r. Brooke and staff and the Fifth artil-
lery Corps band, the troops swept
around to the south end of the plaza and
then marched to a position fronting the
main entrance to the capitol. AS soon
as they had been formed at rest, the ar
tillery band on the left and the marine
band on the right of the entrance, the
funeral cortege with it's guard of honor
entered the plaza from the north. AS
the hearse halted in front of the main
staircase, the troops responding to al
most whispered commands, presented
arms.
AS the eight sturdy body bearers. four
from the army and four from the navy
tenderly drew the flag -draped casket
from the hearse, the bands sweetly wall
ed the pleading notes of Nearer, My
God, to Thee" Every head in the vast
attendant throng was barred. Tear be-
dimmedl eyes were raised to heaven and
silent prayer went up from the thous-
ands of hearts.
With careful and solemn tread the
BODY bearers began the ascent of the
staircase with their precious burden
and tenderly bore it to the catalfalque
in the rotunda.
