BASINGER ON THE GUARDS.
The Nestor of the Corps Gave His
"Reminiscences.

First upon the list of toasts was
The Savannah Volunteer Guards" to
which Col w. S. Basinger, one of the
three surviving commanders of the
corps, responded.
ION bright May day. 100 years ago."
said Col. Garrard, the Savannah Vol
unteer Guards had their first parade.
Since that eventful day thousands of
the flower of the youth of Savannah
have been associated with our grand
old command and have been proud of
it, proud of a corps that has had, IN
it's long history, but fourteen COM
manders. The eleventh of these COM
manders we have with US tonight, and
this one originated the movement that
saw the evolution of a company into
battalion. Fifty years ago TINS noble
soldier attended the emi-centennial
celebration of this command, and, dur
ing the mighty struggle that tore this
country asunder in the SOS he was at
the front, at the head of the Guards,
bearing himself with a valor that
would compel me, search where l
might, to yield to Col. w. S. Basinger
the right to respond to the toast The
Savannah Volunteer Guards.
Col Basinger's talk lasted for an
hour and more. 1t was with the ut
most difficulty that those near him dis
tinguished his words, but those so for
tunate as to understand greatly appre-
ciated the floods of memory that welled
from the old Guardsman. He told of
the semi centennial of the Guards and
of those who were then in command.
At that time he had expressed the hope
that he might speak at the centennial,
and this hope was fulfilled.
Through the leading events of the
commands history Col. Basinger led
it's younger members, recounting ex-
periences and making apt comments.
He told of Battery Wagner at Charles
ton and the time the Guards were fore
most in its defence. He told of the red
war in Virginia, and especially of Sal
lors Creek, that bloody struggle in
which the Guards bore themselves with
q bravery that rivaled the grandest of
military history. Gen. Ewell surren-
dered there, but that brave old soldier
testified to the gallantry of the
Guards, complimenting Basinger, their
leader, under the splendid fight they
had made.

GOVERNOR RETURNS TO-DAY.
He and Mrs. Gambler Leave This
Morning for Atlanta.

Gov and Mrs. Allen D. Gambler will
leave this morning at 7 o'clock by the
Central Railway for Atlanta. Their
Savannah friends had hoped that they
might be able to remain over until to-
night, but the illness of his secretary
made it necessary that the Governor
return this morning.
While in the city the Governor and
Mrs. Gambler have been the guests of
Mr. and Mrs. Fleming G. duBignon. Be
cause of his recently illness, the Gov
ernor desired a quiet time, and, save
for the ceremonies of the Guards cele-
bration, in which he participated, he
was shown only such attentions as
came with the calls and compliments
of his many Savannah friends. The
GovernoAIs greatly improved in health
though not fully recovered. When seen
by a representative of the Morning
News yesterday he expressed pleasure
in being able to get to Savannah for
the Guards celebration

fore United States Courts.
]. Lucian Anders, under arrest for
using the United States mail to carry
out a scheme to defraud. reached the
city last night. in the custody of Dep
uty United States Marshal Ed c. yell
lowley.
Anders claimed to be so seriously ill
that nights confinement in Jail would
prove to be the last of his earthly ca
reer. but he scarcely looked the part
He did look i'll. however, and the story
that comes from Vicksburg is to the
effect that this is the result of a pro-
forged spree.
Anders claimed to have been half
insane for the last month, and for a
part of this time has been under treat
ment in the city hospital at VicksbuTg
An investigation of his physical con-
dition will be made to-day, and if he is
as i'll as he claims to be some change
in his place of confinement will have
to be made.
Anders vigorously protests his inno-
cence. He claims that he has always
filled all the orders for pecan trees he
received, save a few during the last
few months. These he says he would
have filled but for the bad weather
and his own i'll health.
Il can prove I've always done what
is right" declared Anders. My fam
lily are very honorable people, and I'm
a perfectly honorable man. I'll break
up this proceeding as soon as 1 get
chance"
An investigation of the 800 charges
against Anders, or some of them, will
begin before Commissioner Ryals as
soon as the witnesses in the cases can
be brought TO the city. Many of them
live hundred of miles away.
