Dogs have played various roles at DIFF

is seized in payment for debt; at least
it is not often that it happens in Savan-
nah, though a case occurred yesterday.

The attachment was served by Officer

Col. Dyer Arrives
To CONDUCT THE
The Mill End Sale.
The Wonderfully Successful Sale Of
Remnants Starts Tomorrow at
9 o'clock at Adler'S.

Everybody remembers the wonderful
mill end sale of Mr. Leopold Adler, which
swept over Savannah last January. The
low prices for the finest fabrics created
a sensation, the like of which has never
been seen here before.
The remnants from the best mills all
over the country were heaped together
on Mr.. Adler's counters, and they were
enered to the hungry public And the
public knew good thing. 1t soon reduced
the stock. So successful was this sale,
ana so satisfactory was the feature of
seIlng the remnants that the public de-
mands another one of these sales. Look
ing to this end Mr.. Adler has made ar
rangements to put on another mill end
sale and he has settled upon tomorrow
as an opportune time for it,
COL Nj. Wilbur Dyer arrived last night
from Houston, Tex, where he has had
very successful mill end sale. Col. Dyer

MAY HAVE OIL FUEL SOON.

Only a Question of Transportation
i'm Way of 1T for Savannah.
The use of oil for fuel in Savannah
seems to be a question of getting it here
at something like the price it sells for
elsewhere. The companies that are en-
gagged in the development of oil lands in
Texas are understood to be on the look
out for transportation facilities which will
enable them to deliver oil here at mod
crate cost.
Mr.. George J. Baldwin, president OF the
Edison Electric Illuminating Company of
Savannah, and also largely interested in
electric lighting and street railway prop
critics at Houston, Tex, Tampa, Fla, and
Columbus, Ga, says that his companies
are ready to change from coal to oil fuel
as soon as the oil companies are able to
deliver it at satisfactory rates. Mr.. Bald
win says the Houston Electric Railway,
in which he is interested, is using oil al
together in operating its plant Using oil.
he says, is equal to coal at about 81 per
ton, which means a saving of about 50
per cent. in favor of oil. The railroads
are now cutting rates on coal in order
to meet the oil competition. The change
in a plant necessary to adopt oil may
be made at a nominal cost, he says. The
cost does not stand in the way at all

A VOICE FROM NEW JERSEY.
Editorial Comment Upon Attitude OF
the GeorGians.

the GeOrS11ns.
Several of the old Sea Critters in Sa-
vannah have seen an editorial that ap-
peared in the Newark (lIew Jersey Even
ing News that they considered as ex-
tremely fair and an unbiased comment
upon the strained relations now existing
between the Georgia rifiemen and the
management of the Sea Girt rife range.
| Capt. j. C. Postell handed the editorial
| around, and it was read with interest.
Some surprise was expressed that such
an expression should come from a New
Jersey paper, but the Georgians are all
the more grateful for the view that is
taken The editorial was as follows:
I'm another column of this page is re-
printed from the Savannah Morning News
an article giving Georgia's reasons for
refusing to send a rifle team to Sea Grit
this year. Georgia still maintains that
her team was defrauded in the 1889 con-
test for the Hilton Trophy and declines
to participate in any more matches until
the alleged wrong is righted. The Geor-
gians decline to accept as satisfactory
the findings of the board of inquiry of the
New Jersey Rife Association, and this
is not surprising. The report Of that
DOdrQ was lame anu iICOHCluelFS, d Poi-
pable effort to avoid hurting anybody $
feelings or to place the blame on any,
bodys shoulders. 1t decided nothing, but
left much to be surmised
The Georgians now claim to have con-
elusive proof of their charges. The ale
cation is made in the Morning News ar
ticle that one of the markers stationed
at the targets in 1899 has confessed that
he received instructions to falsify the
scores Of the Georgians and that, while
the latter supposed they were firing at a
6Oo-yard range the distance was really
612 yards. 1t is question how much cred
ence con be accorded a witness who ad-
mits that his motive for giving evidence
is BECAUSE he has been discharged, but 1t
is none the less natural that the Geor-
gians should give faith to testimony
which fortifes their suspicious. Under
the circumstances the determination Of
the Georgians TO refrain from competing
in future matches is not unreasonable.
But If the members of the Georgia rifle
team hope for any further investigation
on the part of the New Jersey Rife As
ISOLATION they will find themselves mis-
taken. AS far as the association is con-
cerned the episode is closed and will not
be reopened. Enough other states have
accepted invitations to insure the success
of the meet, and. although the absence of
the Georgians will inevitably provoke
comment, care will be taken that there
shall be no further cause for scandal, and
the incident will be ignored, as though il
had never occurred. But until the matter
is finally forgotten II cannot cease to be
cause for regret to every Jerseyman who
is jealous of his states good name"

Martial Which Tried Wright.

Martial Which Tried Wright.
The result of the court-martial of Thorn
as Wright. of Company c. OF the First
Battalion of coiored troops, for assauiting
Master Malcolm r. Mclean during the
May parade of the battalion, in the Park
Extension was announced yesterday by
Maj. ]. H. Deveaux. commanding the
battalion.
Wright was tried on a charge of disor.
derby conduct with the specification that
he struck Master Mclean with his gun
during the parade. and was acquitted.
Maj. Deveaux. in announcing
the finding Of and dissolving
the court-martial differs with the
court as 10 the guilt OF Wright. In
his order to the company commanders OF
the battalion he says:
In promulgating the finding of the
court-martial feel it my duty 10 state
that the evidence as appears to me by
the record. of the case shows that NJ.
Mclean, a mere lad, was struck on the
head by Private Thomas Wright, and
some other member of Company being
a party thereto The militia of the state
is the strong arm of the law and is for
the enforcement of law and order and
the protection OF the lives and property
of citizens under the direction of its Of
ficers. There is no excuse for an enlisted
man assaulting a citizen, and it is par
ticularly reprehensible in the present case,
indeed. 1t must be thoroughly understood
that an enlisted man is not justified In
using his weapon except by command OF
the officer in charge Of his company or Of
the officer in charge of the battalion while
on parade or other duty. Said officers TO
exercise such authority only on the very
gravest emergency. then according to law.
Commanders of the respective companies
composing his battalion, will be held &C
countable 10 the proper authority for any
unmilitary conduct OF their command

AN INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Condemnation of Right of Way by
Telegraph Co. All Right.

Telegraph Co. All Right.
Argument was heard in the Superior
Court yesterday in the case of the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western Railway
Company against the Postal Telegraph
Gable Company, in which the court was
asked to grant an injunction restraining
the carrying into effect of the award of
aroltrators appointed to assess certain
portions of the railway company's right
OF way. The injunction was refused.
The hearing was part of a long and in
volved piece of litigation. The telegraph
company wanted to use portions of the
railways right of way between Albany
and Townsville, and Townsville and
Naldosta, for the construction of its lines.
10 this course objection was made by
Inc railway, and when the telegraph COM

junction. This injunction was denied and
the arbitrators proceeded to asses values,
hndins that the damage to the railway
company's right of way from the con-
sIuction Of the telegraph lines would be
5000

instituted by the railway, in which the
cohsututionality of the law under which
Tue condemnation proceedings had been
carried on was attacted and
The fr,,r+ me- ,-s q.
Pohioit the telegraph company from
proceeding under it and constructing its
intended lines. The telegraph company
was directed to appear in court, and show
e1uee why a temporary injunction should

alsument, Judge Falligant granted an
Uuer yesterday, in which the rule to
suo" cause Is dissolved and the temporary
Injunction asked for is refused. 1t is
pIooao'e that the case will be carried a
second time to the Supreme Court OF
