Receive Amounts Due.
ALBERT ORDWAY MEMORIAL

After conference with Colonel Guenther,
United States army, marshal of the parade
to occur the 9Th of April in connection with
the unyeiling of the statue of General Lo-
gan. it has been decided by the officials at
militia headquarters that the representa-
ton from the District of Columbia National
Guard in the turnout shall consist of pro-
yisional regiment Colonel NJ. Emmett Urell
will be ordered to command it, and the
brigade band will head the column.
The provisional regiment is to be made
I'M of one battalion from the 1st Regiment
one battalion from the I'd Regiment, and
the list Separate Battalion. Each battalion
shall be of four companies, of twenty files
each with a full complement of officers To
meet this requirement it will be necessary
to do a good deal in the way of consolidat-
ing the companies of the list and I'd Regi-
ments.
Just as soon as the required instructions
are received from Colonel Guenther the
necessary orders for the formation OF the
provisional regiment will be issued from
militia HEADQUARTERS. The task will there
upon fall upon the commanding officers OF
the list and I'd Regiments to each provide
full-size battalion, properly officered.
Last Chance to Secure Pay.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made to pay
those puardsmen who did not receive the
money due them for the six months service

TO DEFEAT THE BILL.

Working on Representatives.
Some of the officers of the state SER
vice in Savannah are still hammering
away at the military bill that passed
the Senate and was transmitted to the
House for early action. kilograms
have been sent the representatives
from Chatham county, urging their as
sistance for the defeat of the bill
What they particularly dislike is ,the
clause that calls for the consolidation
Of the Office of adjutant general and
that of inspector general. They con-
slider that Col. w. G. Obear should be
retained in his position of inspector
general, as he is regarded as a capable
and efficient officer but their immedi-
ate object is the retention of the in
dividuality of the two positions, which
they think should be separate and dis
tinct
Quite number Of amendments have
been suggested for the measure. Some
of these were agreed to by the Off
GERS OF the First Regiment of Infan-
try in meeting, when Maj. w. L. Gray
son was authorized to visit Atlanta
and make known the objections of the
officers to the bill as IT had been drawn.
The consolidation of the two positions,
however. was the point against which
the strongest objection was registered.

WILL MANUFACTURE TUBS.
Important Addition to Be Made by
the PierpOnt Company.

The Pierpont Manufacturing Com
pany will add to its plant established
some months ago west of the city,
fronting on the Savannah river
machinery for the manufacture
of crates and boxes. Machinery
has been ordered for the equip
ment of an annex to the factory for
the manufacture of tubs. Plans have
been drawn for the building that is to
be used for this new branch of the en-
terDrise.
The Pierpont Company has contract
ed with the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany to supply it with the tubs it may
need for lard and other products. 1t
is by no means likely that the busi-
ness of the Pierpont Company will be
confined to its dealings with the Cotton
Oil Company, for its tubs will probably
be found throughout the country. Its
boxes and crates have been shipped far
and wide, and Mr.. Pierpont president
of the company. has never regretted
his removal to Savannah and the es-
tablishment of his factory here. The
tub factory will be an important ad-
dition to the plant.
The company represents an impor-
tant industry, one which brings about
the use of what might be waste pro-
ducts. Crates and boxes, being of, as
a rule, no great length, may be con-
structed from pieces sawn from blocks
and odds and ends secured from the
lumber yards. Were it not for the fac
tory, these odds and ends would go to
waste. Hardwood for manufacturing
is also secured by the company from
the swamps of the Savannah river and
from other localities. 1t is f1oated
down the river, or shipped to the fac
tory by rail.

AID. JONES' FINE RENTED.

Exempt from Jury Service.

Judge ScabrOOk Decides Aldermen
Exempt from Jury Service.
The fine and costs assessed by Judge
Seabrook in the Superior Court against
Alderman Frank f. Jones, for his fail
ure to appear as juryman at the time
for which he had been summoned, were
remitted yesterday morning, on the
ground that MIR. Jones office as an al
derman of the city exempted him from
jury duty.
The facts in the case were given in
the Morning News a few days ago. AL
derman Jones contended at the time
that his office gave him exemption. al
though he was not prepared to indi-
cate the exact section in the code by
which the exemption was allowed.
Judge Seabrook investigated the
question and found that the law was
as Alderman Jones contended, and yes
terday the fine was formally RENTED
and the Alderman was excused from
further jury duty. Since the occur
renee of the incident it has been re-
membered that several times in the
past the exemption has been claimed
by and allowed to aldermen of the city
The law is embraced in a special act
of the General Assembly, applying in
terms only to the city of Savannah.

Laurel Grove Cemetery will be used
as the city burial ground for some
years to come. This seems very prob
able from the way the situation is
shaping up. 1t is practically certain
that the special committee of the City
Council appointed to consider the pur-
chase of a tract for a new cemetery
will report against such a purchase at
this time. and this will mean that the
present cemetery will be used.
meeting was held yesterday at the
City Exchange attended by members of
the Council committee and the Park
and Tree Commission. The members
of the commission had been requested
TO meet with the committees in order
that they might advise the aldermen
upon the condition of Laurel Grove
Cemetery, which is under the care of
the commission.
The showing made by the commits

men that there is no need for a new

needed, the members of the commits
sion said. is for the city to place at
the disposal of the commission enough
money to put the land in order that
lies contiguous to Laurel Grove. If
that should be done, there would be
ground enough to meet all demands for
some years to come.
The land thought by the commission
to be adequate for all purposes, pro-
vided 1t is improved by drainage and

southwark of the cemetery, between
the white and colored sections. The
commissioners said that there was
easily enough for fO0 lots, 2O0 or Whlch

section and 500 to the Christian section.
No purchase of another tract will be
made at this time a member of the
committee said, The showing made by
the Park and Tree Commission was
such as to convince the committee that
it would be to the city's interests to
improve le ground indicated as sus-
ceptible to being placed in suitable
condition for burial purposes. An ex-
ira appropriation for the Park and
Tree Commission to expend in this
manner will probably be recommended
bv the committee and made by Coun-
cil.

NO ACTION TAKEN

OBSTACLES IN THE WAY.
PREVENTED AN IMMEDIATE ACT
ION BY STOCKHOLDERS.

1t Had Been Expected That the Deal
Wouid De Ratified. but President
Baldwin Found in His Mail Some
thing That Caused POstponeIncnt
of Action in the Premiscs-Meet-
ing Adjourned Subject to His Call.
Will BE Called in n Week or Two.
Not Believed That Obstacles viii
Long Defer Consolidation of EIec-
trio Interests in savannah.
No action upon the contract made
by representatives of the controlling in
terests in the Edison Electric Illumi-
mating Company, of Savannah, with
representatives of the Savannah, Thun-
derbolt and Isle of Hope Railway, was
taken at the meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the former company held yester-
day.
1t had been expected that the deal
would be ratified. Mr.. George j. Bald
win, president of the Edison Company,
had been of this positive opinion un-
til he reached his office, where he found
awaiting him mail that had accurnu-
lated during his trip to Houston. In
this he found that certain contingen-
cies had arisen which would render ad-
visable the postponement of action by
the company and he so announced to
the waiting stockholders, when they as
sembled to attend the meeting.
On this account no business was
transacted and after the meeting was
called to order it was determined sim
ply to postpon action until the inter-
vening obstacles could be got out of
the way. The meeting was adjourned
subject to the call of the president.
Mr.. Baldwin declined yesterday to
say what had transpired to render nee
essary or advisable the postponement
of action on the part of his company,
He was not certain either when the
meeting would be called, though he
seemed to think it would be in the
course of a week or two.
1t is not believed that the obstacles
whatever they are. are of sufficient
gravity to defer the consummation of
the deal for any very great length
of time, but that the consolidation of
the electric traction and light and pow
er interests of the city will actually
and formally. take place before many
weeks have elapsed.

LESTER PETITIONS AGAIN.

Prays Council to Grant Him n
street Railway Franchise.
Another petition has been filed with
the clerk of the City Council by Mr..
D. B. Lester, who wants street rail-
way franchise. The following is the
petition
In behalf of the Vernon Shell Road
Company, I wish to renew my petit
tion for certain street privileges, as
will appear in a former petition OF
mine. AS a price. offer to improve
the greater part of our county and
many sections of our city by building
a first-class electric railroad to White
Bluff and connect the docks of our
city, which are now entirely without
street car facilities. l will also agree
to do the electric lighting for this city
for 10 per cent less than it is now
done for.
IF your honorable body will take in
to consideration the annual saving of
several thousand dollars to the city
from my proposition to light the city
and the extra taxable property that
1 propose to bring here, they will see
that a large cash bid from the pres
ent street car line Cor any one seeking
control of it, would not begin to yield
a yearly income so large, to say moth
ing of the vast amount of property
that will more than double in value on
account of connecting the different sec
tions of our city and county with an
electric railway.
1T is the purpose of this company
later on to extend to Coffee Bluff,
Montgomery, Beaulieu, Shipyard and
other suburban points but will not in
clude them as a part of this propo-
sition."
