Council VIII Consider Observance
of Mckinley Day.

From the present outlook to-night's
meeting of Council will be a very quiet
affair. Mayor Myers, Alderman Dixon,
chairman of Council, and Alderman
Watson are in Washington, where they
went to attend the funeral of Pres
ident Mckinley, and will hardly re-
turn in time for to-night's meeting.
Other members of the board are alb
sent from the city. and hardly more
than a bare quorum of the aldermen
viii be present.
Acting Mayor Holland, who is now
the official head of the city in the alb
sence of Mayor Myers and Chairman
Dixon, said yesterday that he expect
ed tO-night's meeting to be a rather
unimportant one.
The only matter of special impor-
lance scheduled for the meeting" said
the acting Mayor, SIS the report on the
petitions for street railway franchises.
Should this report be made, of which
l am not certain, 1 am satisfied that
consideration would be deferred until
a future meeting. AS Alderman Wat
son is chairman of the committee which
has the matter in hand, and as AL
derman Dixon is a member of the same
committee, we could hardly proceed to
consider the matter in their absence. ="
The acting Mayor said that he would
bring to the attention of Council the
question of official observance of
Thursday as a day of mourning for
President Mckinley. An invitation
to attend the union services to be
held at the Lutheran Church of the
Ascension will probably be received
in which case it is likely that the
members of Council and the city off,
Gals will attend in a body.
Il think we should take some off,
cial recognition of the day." said AL
derman Holland, "inasmuch as it has
been set aside for the purpose by proc
lamation, both by the President and
the Mayor. There is not much else
for US to do, and it is about the only
way for us to show our respect for
the deceased President -

Committee stiII Seeking TO Find
Where They Stand.
1t remains to be seen what part, If
any, Savannah naval stores factors
will take in the undertaking of the
operators, who recently met at Jack
sonville, to reduce the cutting of boxes
in the pine county fifty per cent. While
this would be an efficient means of
imparting strength to the market,
some of the trade appear to believe
there are other and better methods of
accomplishing this.
In discussing the matter, one gen
tleman said the National Tank and
Export Company expects soon to have
its tanks in readiness for the storing
of spirits, and will thereby take out
of the market much of the whatever
surplus stock there may be. It's plans
are pretty well understood. While the
factors intend to give every possible
encouragement to the operators in their
efforts to reduce production. the fact
that many of the local trade are work.
ing along the same line doubtless
makes them less enthusiastic than they
would otherwise be. The COM
mittee is still moving among the Sa-
Vannah factors.

That the Grand Jury of Superior
Court is to Investigate.
1t is likely to be an interesting SEES
sion that the grand jury of the Superior
Court will hold on Friday afternoon.
Besides the case that is to be called
against the Oglethorpe Club, three
cases of homicide are to be investi-
gated.
The first of these and that which
holds the principal share of public in
terest, is that of the street railway
motorman, Thomas L. Avant, whose
car ran over and killed Clarence E.
Baker. a 5-year-o boy. The motor
man is to be presented to the grand
jury for involuntary homicide, and a
number of witnesses will be introduced
by the solicitor general to make out
this case.
Philip Proctor and James Williams
are to be presented to the grand jury
for the offense of murder. Both of
these defendants are negroes and both
shot and killed members of their own
race on West Broad street. 1t is a
rather peculiar coincidence that of the
three homicides all were committed on
West Broad street and within half a
mile of each other. Indeed, those in
which Proctor and Williams are the
defendants, were committed within a
block The circumstances of all the
cases are familiar to the readers of the
Morning News.

the annual reunion of the, Georgia Dr.
vision of United Confederate Veterans

the camp will attend the reunion, but
only the number stated have found it
possible to state at this date that they

the following remarks in the presen-
tation:
Fellow Veterans of McLaws Camp:
1t is with pleasure that 1 present to
you this photograph of those members
who attended the late Confederate re-
union at Memphis. AS year by year
passes away, so will those of us whose
forms and faces are in this picture
pass away and cross over the river
to rest under the shade of the trees,
and as we march slowly, but surely.
to eternity to meet our comrades in
the great beyond, let us cover this pic
ture for specified period with crepe,
that it may remind us of that day that
must soon arrive when all those who
composed the gallant armies of the
CCnfederacy have gone to their last
reward. Veterans, l ask your accept
ance of this memento of our visit to
our brethren at Memphis, and trust
that it will be many years hence when
the face of the last survivor is known
only by this photograph
The camp determined to adopt reso-

resolutions were not presented, but
these will be presented and adopted

THE STORM WEAKEN ING.
Little Probability of Dangerous
Winds Near Savannah.

The tropical storm, for which warn
ings were issued yesterday, impinged
on the Gulf coast during the afternoon,
the center passing probably between
Pensacola and Cape San Bias, and at
s o'clock was central to the south
eastward of Montgomery. While high
winds occurred from Mobile to Jack
sonville. there has evidently taken
place a rapid weakening in the storm
energy, as 1t moved inland.
At 10 o'clock last night Local Fore
cast Official Boyer stated that. while
the storm center will be forced of the
South Atlantic coast. either over Geor-
gia or South Carolina, there is little
probability of dangerous winds ocur-
ring.
There is much to be thankful for
should this statement be verified, ana
Savannahians viii be very grateful for
the cool weather which Mr.. Boyer says
will follow during to-day or tonight

turbance lately generated in the West
Indies. Here's what he has to say
storm will take:
II desire to call attention to the ac-
curacy of my weather forecast for
this month of September, which l wrote
more than a year ago. The cyclone is
just where 1 stated it would be. Now
the important point is as to where is
that cyclone going to strike our Amer
lean coast. / believe it will travel
very slowly to the Northwest, and
that it will strike the West Gulf states
near the mouth of the Mississippi
river: that it will hang over the West
Gulf states till Sept. %; that it will
then move slowly up the Mississippi
valley, and meet a storm which will
form over the Missouri valley on the
25th. These two storms will unite
over the Ohio valley on Sept. p, caus-
ing killing frosts west of the Ohio
valley, and snow at Chicago and flood
in Ohio the last two days of this
month. l expect a very hot wave over
the eastern half of the United States
next week. October will enter with
very cold wave and snow over the
Northern states z"

ARRESTED A MURDERER.
Ernest OutIin Admits Killing Negro
in Skin Game.

Ernest Outlin. colored, was arrested
last night by Central Railway Patrol
man Lakewood on a charge of MUIR
der, committed a year ago in Effing-
ham county. The negro admits that he
is the man wanted, and makes but a
weak defense of the serious charge
hanging over his head.
Outlin says that he shot an unknown
negro at Paramour Hill, after a game
of skin. He had won all of the strang-
cr's money, and the last hand was
played for the unknown negro's trous-
ers. Outlin says that he was lucky and
won the trousers, but that the negro
tlied to take them back. The prisoner
saws that he would not stand for that.
and fired five shots at the other negro.
He left Immediately, and has been
wandering through the state for the
past year. The authorities of Effing-
ham county have been notified of the
arrest of the negro.
