RELIC OF M'ALLISTER.
War Time Drawing of Famous Fort
Presented to Barlow Camp.

presented to Barlow camp.
A unique and interesting relic Of the
war between the states was presented
to Barlow Camp of Sons of Confeder-
ate Veterans last night. 1t is a draw
ing Of the defenses and environs Of
Fort McAllister, rightly regarded by
Gen. Sherman as a most important
gateway to the city Of Savannah,
which surrendered after an heroic de-
Tense and to an overwhelming force,
Dec. 13. 1864.
The drawing, which is on a large
scale and shows in minutest detail the
defences of the fertilization. was pre-
sented to the camp by Historian r. j.
Travis, on behalf Of Mrs. George P.
Walker. The drawing was made by
Mrs. Walkers brother, who was a
member Of the garrison, before the
forts reduction by the enemy, and sent
by him to his sister.
Possibly there is not another draw
ing in existence which shows with
anything like as great particularly the
approaches to and environs of the fort,
the nature of its defenses and the num-
Der and size of its guns. In the light
of the gallant defense made by the
garrison of the fort this relic adds a
sentimental interest to its historical
value.
Mr.. Travis accompanied his presen-
tation of the drawing with an account
of some of the incidents of the defense
of McAllister he had had from the lips
of its commander. Maj. George W. An
derson of Savannah. The fort was de-
Tended by a garrison of $50 men, effec-
tive for duty, and overwhelmed by an
attacking force of between $500 and
1000 men. us
The incidents related by Mr.. Travis,
which he had from Maj. Anderson,
have never been published, or have
been only lightly touched upon in pub
lished accounts of the capture of the
fort. They will be reduced by Mr..
Travis to writing and filed in the arch
ives of the camp, as an interesting
companion piece to the drawing.
The camp discussed at the meeting
the proposition of the Confederate Vet
Grams Association to join with it in the
lease of AITnory Han. The matter was
discussed at length and with a not very
vigorous enthusiasm. but it was decd
ed at last to join in the venture and TO
contribute to the rental a stated an
nual sum.
Commandant Harden announced the
appointment of Charles G. Edwards as
adjutant of the camp. Gordon l..
Grower, whose application had been
read at former meeting and received
favorable report from the Commit
tee on Applications, was unanimously
elected a member.
After the formal business Of the
meeting had been concluded light re-
treShnTe1ts were served, and over these
pleasant half hour was spent

white man. for the theft of a bicycle
belonging to f. C. Penfield, has led

The case against Bowers was worked

RUN DOWN BY HACK.
Young Henry Philips Was Rolling
His Hoop in the street.

MS hbOB
While rolling a hoop in the street
yesterday afternoon, Henry Philips, a
young white boy. was run over by a
hack and sustained painful injuries.
The driver Of the hack, a white man
named Lewis Black, was arrested for
reckless driving. and will be tried in
the recorders court this morning.
The accident occurred shortly after
4 o'clock, at the corner of Liberty and
West Broad streets. Young Philips
was rolling a wheel down the street,
guiding il with a stick. The driver did
not see him until he was almost upon
him, and checked his horses in time
to prevent the rear wheel from passing
over the lad. The front wheel passed
over a portion Of his body. He bled
freely from the nose, but IL is thought
that this was the result of its contact
with the rOad-bed, and not caused from
internal injuries.
Sergt. J. McCool, who was present
and witnessed the accident, extricated
the boy from the wheels, and at his
instance the driver consented to drive
the boy to his home on Margaret street.
Accompanied by the officer, the three
rode to the boys home, and afterwards
the man was taken to the barracks,
where the charge of reckless driving
was entered against him.
Though the sergeant saw the wheel
roll over the boy. he did not notice the
rate at which the man was driving
when he struck him, and says he is
not in position to say who was to
blame for the accident The driver
SAID that he was driving slowly and
that the boy ran in front of him so
quickly that he did not have time to
check his team. The injuries to the
lad, though painful, are not thought
to be dangerous. His face and arms
are bruised. Had not the hack had
rubber tires the injuries might have
been more serious

LAST OF THE FARMERS.
Members of the National Congress
Returned TO Macon Yesterday

heturheu 10 Macon Yesterday.
The members of the National Farm
ers' Congress who spent Tuesday after
noon in Savannah as guests of the
Board of Trade, left yesterday at 7:3O
O'Clock on the return trip to Macon.
where they were taken by the special
train of the Seaboard Air Line and. the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah roads. by
whose invitation they visited this city.
1t was source of general regret
among the visitors that they could not
spend more time in this city, at least
enough time to see some of the most
interesting parts. Some of them were
so determined to see at least a part of
IL that they got up an hour or two be-
lore train time and walked around the
town.
Before leaving some ninety of the
members decided to accept the invita-
ton of the Central of Georgia Railway
and take its train from Macon to An
aefSonville for a brief visit to that
place so full of historic interest to
many of those in the party.
All the members were quite enthus-
iasdc about the city and the entertain
mem that had been provided for them.
More than one expressed regret that
an unwritten law of the organization
made 1t impossible to hold succeeding
meetings in one state, limiting that ex-
cept for this Savannah could have the
annual meeting next time.
AS 1t is the probabilities are that the
next meeting will be held in Illinois
probably at Rock Island. One of the
delegates from that place said that

POPULAR FALLACY.
Generally Believed in but Never Elk
isted-Strange Hold of an Untruth.

Generally Believed in but Never Ex-
isted-Strange Hold of an UntFuth.
One of the most widely current and
inexplicable fallacies that are general
ly believed is called to mind by the
coming of the Adam Forepaugh &
Sells Brothers Enormous Shows
United. 1t is the silly twaddle about
big shows dividing and showing in
small cities and towns in different sec
lions of the country on the same day
and then coming together again in the
large cities and showing as one exhi-
bition. 1t is, as a matter of fact, one
of the most absurd ideas in the world.
and persons ordinarily sane upon every
other subject will persist in believing
that such things are done, notwith-
standing the fact that it is absolutely
so much without foundation in fact
that such a thing has never even once
been attempted much less being done
as a regular custom. 1t would be just
as easy to cut a horse in two and send
him up two roads at one time and then
when a main road is reached put him
together again. 1t is simply a physi-
cal impossibility for such shows to be
first divided and then united, and keep
the public in ignorance of it. ANY man
who could invent system that would
make such a thing possible would have
fortune. 1t never has been done, it
is not done nor will it, in all hui
man probability, ever be done by these
shows or any others. So, when the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
Shows come here they will be exactly
the same as they were in New York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and all the
cities they have visited this season,
and If anyone wants to gamble on 1t
there is no possible chance of losing
any money wagered on that propo-
sition, no matter what anyone says or
believes. They will be here in all their

BURIED AWAY FROM HOME.
Remains of william Redfern Mt Rest
in Laurel Grove.


i'm Laurel Grove.
The remains of William Redfern, the
stranger who died in the ambulance
on the way to the hospital Monday,
were laid to rest yesterday afternoon
in Laurel Grove Cemetery, all efforts
to locate relatives of the young man
having proven futile. Quite a num-
Der of residents on the Ogeechee road
who had formed an acquaintance with
the young man followed his remains
to the cemetery.
Further effort will be made to ascer-
tain the whereabouts of the relatives
of the deceased. Yesterday kilograms
were sent to Wright's store and Peach
land, two small places in North Caro-
lima, where it was said that he had
formerly lived. The authorities at
both places replied that there was no
such family there, and that none had
ever resided there, so far as any one
knew,
