DANCE AND PRIZE DRILL.
Plan in the First Regiment to Form
n Drum and BugIe Corps.

PIan In the First Regiment to Form
n Drum and BugIe Corps.
A plan is afoot to give dance and
prize drill in order to raise funds for
the purchase of the necessary instru-
ments and equipment for a drum and
bugle corps for the First Regiment OF
Infantry. Such a corps would be OF
use upon parades and guard mounts.
Bandmaster Steinad has given the
movement for a drum and bugle corps
his support, and is anxious to see it
carried out.
The matter will be brought to the
attention of the companies of the First
Regiment at their meetings tomorrow
night, Col. T. S. WILLY, Jr., COM
manding the regiment, directed Capt.
Walter E. Cooney, adjutant, to ADDRESS
a letter to the company commanders,
explaining the project, and this letter
will be read to the companies. 1t VIII
then be ascertained what view the
men take of the proposal, and the offl-
GERS will report to the adjutant after
the company assemblies.
IT is proposed to have the drill and
dance about the second week in May.
The prize drill would be for teams of
four men from each company, and the
Judges would be the officers of the
United States Army at Fort Screven.
The winner of the contest would be
awarded the regimental medal for the
best drilled man that is now held by
the Savannah Cadets.

HOT LANGUAGE IN COURT.
LAWYER AND LITIGANT ExCHANG-
ED WORDS AND BLOWS.

Pair of Eye Glasses the Principal
Sufferer in the AhRray-J. Ben
Wilson Had Accused jacob Gasnn,
Esq, of Attempting to Destroy
an Estate in disappointment at
Failure to Get a Fee-Then Came
the Word and the BIow-The So
Iicitor General i'm the Role of
Peacemnker-BOth Parties to the
Difficulty Ruled for Contempt.
The Superior Court room was the
scene of an animated physical conflict
between a litigant and counsel for the
opposite party to the litigation yester-
day afternoon. No particular damage
was done, but for a time passions ran
high, hot and somewhat profane words
were uttered and there was every
cheering prospect of a good healthy
set-to.
The parties to the difficulty were ].
Ben Wilson, defendant in the injunc-
ton proceedings instituted against him
by ]. F. Harvey and Jacob Gazan,
Esq, counsel for the plaintiff. There
have been plenty of hard charges made
on both sides in the course of the liti-
CATION, and these eliminated in the
personal difficulty for which the pre-
cincts of the court room furnished the
arena.
Wilson and Harvey formerly con-
Quoted a wood business together, and
the dissolution of the partnership sup
piled the grounds for the litigation. A
hearing was in progress before Judge
Barrow, which had gone rather in
favor of the defendant. There were
some interventions under considera-
tions, and in the presence of the court
Wilson had charged Mr.. Gazan with
inspiring these in order to eat up all
the property of the partnership, in his
disappointment at not being able to
collect his fee.
For moment Judge Barrow stepped
outside the court room, but the discus
sion continued between the parties and
counsel. Mr.. H. E. Wilson, counsel
for but not a relative of the defendant,
was there, as was also Hon. w. w.
Osborne, representing the Savannah
Electric Company, one of the inter-
venors. Mr.. J. Ben Wilson was doing
most of the talking, apparently and 3s,
he says, wholly unconscious of the
fact that Mr.. Gazan was standing just
behind him.
why, that's all there is to it," he
said. in a loud voice. This lawyer is
lust trying to eat up all the property
because he sees he's not going to get
a fee.'
you are - liar" said Mr.. Gazan,
and with that Wilson was upon his
feet, launching as he arose, wild blow
at the attorney. The blow was a
CHANGING one. bending the wires Of Mr..
Gazans glasses and knocking them
off his nose, but infiicting otherwise
no particular damage. Mr.. Gazan
clutched at an iron instrument for at
fixing brads to legal papers, that would
have made rather a formidable weap-
on, but missed it, while his opponent
prepared for another blow.
Mr.. Osborne was too quick for either
of them. He picked UP one Of the
large arm chairs in use in the court
room and planted 1t between the bel
Hgerents, thus preventing them from
getting at each other, while almost at
the same time Deputy Sheriff West

upon the scene and precipitated them
selves with fine impartiality upon

everybody sought to explain at once

Judge Barrow crossed the corridor sep
arating the court room from his cham
bers and appeared in the door. Inc
Judges face wore an expression IN
which shocked amazement struggled
for the mastery with judicial anger.
What is the meaning of all this!"
he asked.
Nobody said a word; everybody
glanced imploringly and reproachfully
at his neighbor. Slowly the expression
of anger on the judges face faded, to
give way to an expression of grim ana
fixed determination.
WELL" he said. "I'll give those who
are responsible for it good reason to re-
member the occurrence. They won't
forget it SOON"
And it is probable they will not.
Judge Barrow has caused rule Tor
contempt to be issued against both par
ties, directing their appearance before
him tomorrow morning. AT the same
time all those who were present when
it occurred have been directed to ap-
pear as witnesses.

BUSINESS MEN NOT UNEASY.
MERGER OF PLANT SYSTEM AND
COAST LINE CAUSING NO ALARM.

The Commercial Interests of Savan-
nah. Business Men Believe, Are
Not Threatened by the Prospective
ConsoIidathon-t Is Not Thought
That the Management of the Big
system Would Favor Any Other
Port Against Savannah-COast Line
Marked for Its Conservatism.
Question Now Is as to the Fate of
the General Officers of the Plant
system-Coast Line Is Noted for
the Way It's officials and EN-
pIOyes stick.
Little or no apprehension is felt
among business men as to the ERECT
of the prospective consolidation OF the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Plant Sys-
tenn on the commercial interests of Sa-
vannah. They look for its business to
continue unabated and expect no fav-
oring or leaning toward other ports to
be shown by the new management
that is to assume the direction OF the
affairs of the Plant System.
The Atlantic Coast Line is often in
the minds OF railroad men, when they
are talking of conservative methods of
railroading. There are few more con-
sentative companies. Officials express
confidence. that there win be no dis
turbar1ce of the present relations that
exist between 1.-THE Plant System and
other lines. This confidence extends
to the business men of Savannah.
Upon only one score is there any ap-
prehension. This is the possibility of
the removal of the general offices Of
the Plant System from Savannah. A
review of the situation prompts rail-
road men to declare it their belief that
this city will be made the headquar-
tiers of the consolidated systems, so
that Savannah will be the gamer.
There is the possibility. however, tnat,
for some reason the Coast Line may
prefer some other city as its head
quarters, and the advantages that Sa-
vannah offers may be disregarded.
The central position of Savannah in
the consolidated system, the facility
this would mean for physical opera
ton, the ease with which officials
could reach any part of the line, the
ready communication that would be
Afforded with other railway systems
with which it will have relations and
the ownership of extensive office build
ings and ample land for their enlarge
ment or the construction of new ones,
all single this city out as that at which
the headquarters should be estab-
lished.
A probability that Is not viewed with
pleasure by the many friends of the
Plant System general officers is the
prospect that confronts them. All of
the mcannot retain their places as
heads of departments, for the Coast
Line has its own general officers, and
their Jurisdiction will probably be ex-
tended over the consolidated system.
This will mean either the loss of posi-
lions for the Plant System officials or
their reduction to places inferior to
those they now hold. Some Of the
Plant System general officers may be
provided for by the Coast Line with
positions equally as good as those they
now hold, but 1t would seem that there
is but a precarious chance for others
to land high up in the official list of
the consolidated system.
Nearly all Of the Coast Lines officials

Y. NJ. H. AS LAST LECTURE.
will Be Delivered by f. N. Richard
son This Week.


The last lecture that will be given
by the Savannah Lecture Course for
the present season will be delivered
Tuesday night by F. H. Richardson,
whose subject will be 1.-THE New Chiv-
airy" Of this lecture an exchange
says:
The New Chivalry," F. H. Richard
sons lecture, delivered at the Grand
last night, was one of the best, per-
haps the very best, card the lecture
association has yet offered to its men,
bers and patrons.
The lecture is, in brief, plea for
fairer opportunity for women in the
fields of human endeavor. And it's sur
passing merit lies in the forcefulness
with which Mr.. Richardson establishes
woman's right to have, and ability to
wear, such an opportunity. That he
has thought deeply over the question
is shown by the fact that his conten-
tons are fortified at every point with
facts that cannot be disputed or
shaken.
Incidentally, 1.-THE New Chivalry' is
characterized by rare word grace and
charm, and by burning eloquence.
Mr.. Richardson's tributes to the he
roism of the fair sex under conditions
which would crush a man, and to the
mental capacity of woman, were par
ucularly fine, and were vociferously
applauded.

The Odd Fellows Bazaar was prac-

will be open again tomorrow night 1t
will be for the purpose of auctionirg
off such OF the gifts as may remain
unsold. On the whole the Bazaar has
been fairly profitable, even though 1t
did not draw the attendance that its
projectors had hoped for.
The contests for the rings, sword
and several smaller articles were quite
spirited and brought in very good sums
ineed. while the booths also managed
to sell numerous articles at good
profit. The auction sale tomorrow,
probably will more than double the
proceeds already received. OF course
