Files Notice with Governor, but
Does Not State Grounds.

Atlanta. Oct 2S.-Gov. Gambler re-
ceived to-day from Savannah a notice
of contest over the office of ordinary
of Chatham county, the election for
which was recently held.
John Kelly a Savannah hack driver,
better known as Australian" Kelly.
ran against Henry McAlpin, the nom
;nee at the Democratic primary. In
spite of the fact that Kelly received
only 21e votes. it appears Kelly has
decided to make a contest, though, on
what grounds he does not state.
The letter to the Governor was writ
ten for him by friend, as is apparent
from a comparison with the signature.
Gov. Gambler says he will have to hold
up the commission until the contest
has been determined. Kelly states in
his letter that he has taken the matter
into the courts

THE STATE MILITARY BILL.
NUMEROUS CHANGES MADE IN THE
PRESENT LAWS.

VIII BE Introduced in Both Houses
Lnwton, Napier and WoOten-Pro-
poses to Consolidate Offices of Adj
Jutant and Inspector General,
with salary of $1,000 and an As
sistant at S1,OOO-The Present
Laws Greatly Nodded and Many
Chapters struck Out.
Atlanta. Ca. Oct. 2S.-The bill pre-
pared by the military commission, APP
pointed by the Governor to revise the
military laws of the state, will be in
troduced both in the House and Senate
tomorrow. The commission was COM
posed of Col, George NJ. Napier. judge
advocate general; Col. w. X. Wooten
of the Fourth Infantry, and Col. A. r.
Lawton, retired.
The bill makes numerous changes in
the military laws of the state, the
principal one of which is to consolidate
the offices of adjutant general and in
spector general, the new official to be
known as Adjutant and Inspector Gen
eral, and to be paid out of the military
fund instead of drawing his pay direct
from the state. The salary for this Of
fetal will be s1,s0e. and he will be pro-
vided with an assistant with the rank
of Captain. who win be in effect keep
er of public buildings and grounds, at
a salary of $1,000. The bill greatly mod
ifies the military laws, and in conelu-
sion repeats chapters l to II inclusive
of the code of 1895, containing the pres
emit military laws. 1t limits the num-
Der of infantry companies to sixty;
cavalry to twelve; colored infantry to
seven; heavy artillery to five; light ar
tillery to two white and one colored.
1t provides also for battalion of
naval militia. Another interesting fea-
ture of the bill is that it provides for
all officers holding commissions during
good behavior after the terms of the
present officers expire, which in all
cases, shall be within three years after
the passage of the bill.
There are many other interesting
points in the bill, which contains 76
sections, and covers thirty pages of
type written matter.

EXCITEMENT AT KEY WEST.
Tampa Committeeman Would Have
Had Ugly Reception Had They
Been Aboard.


Key West, Fla, Oct. 2S.-The steam
ship Mascotte, on it's arrival from Tam
pa tonight. was met by over 500 peo-
pie, rumor having gained currency that
another committee from that city was
on board for the purpose of getting
cigar strikers to return to Tampa.
There was great excitement before the
arrival of the steamer. The Mayor
and citizens went aboard and were in
formed that the Tampa Committee was
not aboard. Later a committee from
the Cigar Makers Union went aboard
and searched the steamer without re-
suits. Not until after this was done
was the excitement quieted.
The Governor has wired here de-
handing protection for any Tampa
Committee that may arrive, but the
feeling is intense.

The patrolman explained that he
had heard somebody singing in the

of the asylum. The doctor had joined
him, and both had heard the singing,

The three men entered the church

back grudgingly, with a grating sound.
