FOR THE MACON REUNION.
Savannah Veterans Making EIab-
crate Preparations to Attend.

CRATE Preparations to Attend.
The Confederate Veterans of Savan-
nah are making elaborate prepara-
tions for the reunion of the state d.
vision, that will be held at Macon on
October % and "a. Large delegations
from both the Confederate Veterans
Association and McLaws Camp of Con-
federate Veterans will attend the re-
union.
1t has not been determined in just
what shape the veterans will attend
but it is probable that in the parade at
Macon the representatives of both
camps will join. The veterans in the
reunion city and the citizens of Macon
generally are laboring to make the re-
union a success, and it is reasonably
certain that it will equal in interest
and enthusiasm and in point of at
tendance the previous gatherings of
the veterans of the state, that have
been held in Savannah and Augusta.
Everything possible will be done for
the convenience and comfort of those
veterans who attend. The citizens of
Macon will care for the INDECENT, and
there will be spectacles for the enter
tainment of all. One of the principal
matters for the consideration of the
veterans at the reunion will be the
choice of the next reunion city, and it
is probable that Columbus, the princi-
pal applicant for the honor, will be
selected.

LETTER TO ROOSEVELT.
How the Mayor supplemented the
Invitation &c Council.

The resolutions adopted by the City
Council. inviting President Roosevelt
to visit Savannah, were forwarded to
Washington with the following letter
from the Mayor:
THE President, Washington, D. c.
Sir: 1t is with especial pleasure that
l forward to you by this mail copy
of a resolution adopted by the Mayor
and Aldermen of the city of Savannah,
extending to you an invitation to visit
this city during any trip you may make
to the South.
1.-THE citizens of Savannah, without
regard to political affiliations, hold you
in the highest respect. They apprecl-
ate the greatness of the office you oc-
cupy and the sterling worth of your
character and desire to render to both
the honor they merit.
Our people are a unit in expressing
the hope that the time will soon come
when you may find it possible to honor
them by becoming their guest. Here
your ancestors have filled offices of
public trust and responsibility, exert
ing themselves for the promotion OF
the public good serving their fellow
citizens with honesty and ability. Our
people have never been unmindful OF
their obligations to those who in the
past gave of their fortunes and SER
vices for the cause of independence, or
who in later years aided so materially
in the development of the government
and of the resources of the country. 1t
is a source of pleasure to them to
know that you are a descendant or
those who in the early days of Savan-
nah were foremost among it's patriots
and upbuilders. 1t is but natural for
them to feel a pardonable pride In
your connection with their city.
II can assure you that none OF the
many distinguished visitors whom Sa-
vannah has entertained has received a
more cordial welcome than VIII await
You from all if the duties resting upon
YOU will permit of the acceptance OF
the invitation. Very respectfully,
Herman Myers, Mayor"

TOOK FOUR ROBBERS AWAY.
The Notorious Burglar, Jim Small,
Among Them.

Jim Small. William Brown, John Car
ter and Robert Small all negroes with
depredatory proclivities, were removed
from the county Jail yesterday and
taken to the state convict camp at
Fargo. The convicts were chained to-
gether and a single guard accompanied
them on their journey to place where
they will remain in servitude for sew
eral years.
Double shackles were placed on Jim
Small and the guard was warned that
this prisoner is probably the smoothest
criminal in the state. He was told that
Small will take a desperate chance to
make his escape, and that long shots
are favorites with him. Small is the
burglar who burned his way out of the
police station house, and who was SEN
fenced to serve ten years, when he
pleaded guilty before Judge Falligant
in the Superior Court. Robert Small
snatched a pocketbook. and was given
a term of the same duration. The other
two negroes pleaded guilty to burglary
and escaped with sentence of five
years.

PULLS BANDAGES OFF.
Murderer Ashby Continues to Give
JaiIors Trouble.

Louis NJ. Ashby, the wife murderer,
is still giving the jail officials trouble,
although he has done nothing desper-
ate since his attempt at suicide over
a week ago. The prisoner is still kept
under a strong guard, but persists in
tearing the bandages from his head.
The murderer became somewhat vi
client yesterday and tore the cloth
from the ugly wound which is now
undergoing the process of healing. He
said that the bandage disturbed him
and made his head pain much more
than usual. Ashby was told by the
jailer that if he persisted in interior
ing with the wound after 1t had been
dressed by the attending physician
his hands would be tied to his side,
and he gave no more trouble during
the day He understands that his trial
is set for Thursday, although it is
probable that it will be postponed be-
cause of the election for ordinary and
seems more agitated each day. A
scene is looked for when he is placed
in the prisoners dock to plead.

FOR UNDERGROUND WIRES.
A Demand That No More Wires be
Strung Overhead.


No action is to be taken soon looking
toward the placing under ground of
telegraph and telephone and electric
| light wires. This statement was
made authoritatively yesterday. The
City Council has no intention of taking
the matter up.
1t has been considered a good plan
for the city to demand of the compa-
MES that they put their wires on
West Broad street under ground before
that section of the street between
Stone and Gwinnett is paved with
vitrified brick. Mayor Myers was asked
If Council expects to call upon the
companies to do so. He replied that
he thought not.
Mr.. W. A. Bisbee, president OF the
Georgia Telephone Company, said that
his company is willing to place its
wires under ground 1t already has
Liberty to Bay. Mr. Bisbee approves
of underground wires, but thinks that
those now overhead nearer the bust
ness center of the city should be plac-
ed under ground before the improve
ment is demanded on streets more re-
mote. The wires of his company are
now under ground in a considerable
section.
Poles are unsightly on streets. and
the overhead wires are an element of
danger in the event of CONGREGATIONS
and in many ways. 1t has been urged
that the street railway company re-
move its poles from the sides of the
streets and replace them with iron
poles in the middle. Where there are
double tracks a projection from the
pole on either side might afford sup
port for the trolley wire. Such poles
are commonly used in large cities. and
it is considered time that Savannah
should get them.
The objection on the part of the rail-
way companies has been that the
change would involve an expense which
they could not stand. A gradual
change, the replacing of the wooden
poles in one section, or on one street.
however. would not be great, and in
time, as the wooden poles decay a
complete change to iron poles would
be made without great cost.
The opposition to any more over
head wires is such that some action
will have TO be taken by the city in
a short time

TO GET STAGE READY.
Decorations for "Enchantment" TO
BE Made at Fair Grounds.

lie M0ue AT
"Enchantment" will be presented at
the Fair grounds tomorrow night,
Wednesday night and Thursday night.
To-day and tomorrow will be devoted
to the decoration of the stage on which
the spectacle is to be presented. There
will be some 700 participants in the
entertainment, which seems assured Of
success. Many rehearsals have been
held, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that all who are to participate
are familiar with their parts.
Boxes for the play are to be secured
from the office of the Fair Association
in the Board of Trade building. The
admission to the grandstand Will be
so cents. The arrangement of the stage
will be such as to afford a view from
all seats in the grandstand, but from
no other points. The boxes will be
sold upon the basis of the number of
seats they afford. the rate being so
cents each. Tie price, 80 cents, admits
to both the grounds and the grand
stand.
Some misunderstanding as to the d.
vision of profits from the presentation
of the play has prevailed. Mr.. ]. E.
Owens is the author and director of
the play, and his undivided time has
been given II Tor SIX weeks. GenerdI
Manager Moore of the Fair Associa-
ton said yesterday that if Mr.. Owens
should get $1,000 from the production
| as his share he would be none too well
| paid for the work he has done.
| 1t has been currently reported that
the Fair Association had to meet all
the expenses of the production, and
| that it would make practically moth
ing, even if large crowds see the play
every night. This is not the case, Mr..
Moore said. Both the association and
Mr. Owens have to stand the expense
| of the production. Then the division
will be 20 per cent to Mr.. Owens and
80 per cent. to the Fair Association.
This is the arrangement under which
Mr. Moore said the play is to be CIV
| en-.
The ladies of the Enchantment deco
ration committee and those of the gen.
| eral committee who are willing to as
sist the decoration committee will meet

Hall at 10 o'clock this morning, when
they will be furnished street car tick

ment will take place at the Guards
Hall at o'clock this afternoon. At this

Annual Meeting of the Central VIII
Take Place Next Tuesday.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Central of Georgia
Railway, which has been called for to-
morrow, will not be held then. The
quarterly meeting of the Board OF
Directors of the company is to take
place next Tuesday. 1t was not de-
sired to hold two meetings so nearly
together. so there will be a simple ad-
journment tomorrow until next Tues
day, when the business of both the
annual meeting of the stockholders
and the quarterly meeting of the
board will be considered.
1t is learned that there are to be no
changes made in the Board of Direc-
tors or the officers of the Central at
the annual meeting. 1t seems probable
that the business will be confined SIM
ply to the adoption of the annual re-
port and the reelection of the direc-
tors. The directors will then choose
the present officers to serve for the
ensuing year.

Won Moltke as q Novelist.

The German people generally have
been celebrating the one hundredth an
niversary Of the birth Of General Won
Moltkc, than whom no soldier of the
empire stands higher in the public es-
TEEN. Among other facts brought out
regarding his life is the statement that
he wrote a novel Of much promise, In
which there is much Of poetry and no
nance. 1t was written when he was n
young lieutenant Of twenty-sly, IN
search Of health among the SIlesian
Mountains, and deals with incidents
in Frederick the Greats seven-year
war. The story is doubly interesting in
that its hero Is obviously Moltke him
self under the name Of Helm, and Its
heroine his first love, the Countess
Reichenbach, under the title of Coun-
tess Elchanbach 1t is story some
what loose In construction and def
cent in plot, but there are plenty OF
hairbreaUth escapes, secret doors and
passionate love making.
The future field marshal was at that
time an authority on love. "A maid
ems love-" says the world famous
strategist, "must be won, but once
given 1t is like an avalanche which
nothing can retard, which gathers in
impetuoslty. A mans love. on the
other hand, Is too often like a flame
which goes out when It has no nour.

others; it is the aim Of their lives Their

The growth OF the telephone system
in Russia is now considerable, al.
though it has been slow as compared
with other countries. According to
some recent statistics there were in
Russia an aggregate of some $4,000
miles OF telephone wires, about half Of
which is State and half private con
Germs. The use Of the telephone and
the number of subscribers are, how.
ever, rapidly increasing, and some i'm
portant lines between some OF the
larger cities are under contemplation
or already completed. In the Baltic
provinces there are some large teie
phone systems. but they do not appear
to be altogether satisfactorily con
structed, inasmuch as the different
lines, which are frequently of consid
cradle length, have no connection with
each other. This is attributable main
ly to Government restrictions where
State telephones already exist.
