Out-Of-Town Companies VIII BE Met
at Depot by Detachments.
The visiting companies of the First In
fantry that arrive day after tomorrow
morning, to participate in the parade of
the regiment in honor of Gen. Washing
ton, will be met at the depot by detach-
ments of the local companies in the COM

companies on Monday night, volunteers
offered to assemble at the Regimental
Armory for the trip to the depot and re-
turn to the armory, where the arms of
the visitors will be stored until they are
needed for the parade.
1t is propable that company detach-
ments of each of the three battalions will
be formed into provisional companies, and
that each of such companies will act as
escort to such visiting company as may
belong to its battalion. The Savannah
Cadets and the Ogethorpe Light Infan-
try, for instance, will combine forces and
meet the Waynesboro company, the
Burke Light Infantry, which will arrive
by the morning train over the Central.
The local companies desire to make the
visitors feel thoroughly at home during
their stay in Savannah, and every effort
will be made to produce this effect. After
the parade the visiting companies will
become the guests of the local companies
of the regiment in their armory. Compa-
MES are expected from Waynesboro
Swainsboro and Statesboro.

ONE CASE DEVELOPED.
One of the AIpha's Passengers Has
Smallpox at Quarantine.

smallpox at Quarantine.
A case of smallpox has developed among
those detained at the quarantine station
as the result of the discovery of the dis
ease abroad the Alpha some days ago.
A brother of the little colored girl
who had the disease now has 1t, and the
wisdom of the quarantine is shown.
Report of the case among the sixteen
detained at the station was made to Ma
rine Hospital Surgeon Hobby by the
quarantine surgeon yesterday The little
boy was with his sister at the time she
contracted the disease and 1t is no more
than might have been expected that he,
would develop the disease.
Ii is possible that others may fall vic
Tins of smallpox. The time since they
were exposed to the contagion brought
aboard the Alpha by the little colored girl
has not been long enough for the dis
ease to develop.
The health authorities needed no con-
frmation of their belief that the best in
terests of the city demanded the estab-
lishment of quarantine against the sea ISL
ands of South Carolina, but it is clear to
any doubters that there was wisdom in
it. Had the passengers of the
Alpha, who had not been recently
vaccinated or who had never suffered
from smallpox. not been detained at the
quarantine station, the case of the little
colored boy would have been brought to
Savannah.

OgIethOrpe Monument Movement
VIII Soon be Resumed.

OgIethOrpe Monument Movement
VIII Soon be Resumed.
The Oglethorpe monument scheme is
not dead, a Morning News representa-
tive who made inquiries yesterday was
assured, but only sleepeth. Its sleep, too.
is to be disturbed soon, and those who
have displayed interest in the undertake
ing to establish a memorial to the founder
of the colony of Georgia will begin the
work for which the elimination, they
hope, will be the success of the effort.
They have a tidy sum upon which to
make a start, and it is believed this
movement is to be successful.
Hon. Walter G.. Charlton has taken the
lead in the effort to organize a commit
tee made up of representatives from the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
the Georgia Society of Colonial Danes,
the Sons of the Revolution, and the So
ciety of the Sons of Colonial Wars in
Georgia. All these organizations have
named their representatives, and it but
remains to gather them together for or
ganization. The application for the
charter for the monument association will
then be made by Mr. Charlton.
The meeting of those to serve upon the
committee, of whom there are to be
twenty-siX, will be held soon after the
adjournment of the Continental Congress
of the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton now in progress in Washington.
Some of the members of the committee
are attending the Congress, and it is de-
sired that they be present when the meet
ing is held.
Most of those upon the committee were
chosen from the Savannah membership of
the four organizations, thus assuring a
working quorum whenever it is necessary
to hold a meeting. Care was exercised
in the appointment of the representatives
to see that such result might be at
tanned.

A meeting of the Police Committee of
City Council was held yesterday after
noon at police headquarters All three
of the members were present. The meet
ing was a special one and there was
some speculation as to why it had been
called. The committeeman were with
Superintendent Screven for over an hour
and after their business had been accom-
plished an inspection of the station house
was made. Chairman Frank stated that
the committee was called together for the
purpose of talking over routine matters
and making purchases that he did not
feel warranted in ordering alone. The
chairman stated most positively that
nothing of public interest had transpired
during the session.
