CHOSE SECOND LIEUTENANT.
Mr.. w. III. COnncrat. Jr., Elected by
the Georgia Hussars.

The election for second lieutenant
in the Georgia Hussars was held last
night. First Sergeant w. H. Connerat.
Jr., was elected to the position, and
his friends are confident that he viii
fill the position with credit to himself
and advantage to the troop. AS is
usually the case with commissioned Of
fcers of the Hussars he has served
through all the intermediate grades,
and his knowledge of the duties of a
soldier is thorough.
Sergt. Edward Demere is next in line
for the first sergeancy of the troop,
and ii is expected that he will receive
the appointment. Sergt. Demere has
long been known as one of the best
drilled troopers among the Hussars. He
has served creditably as corporal and
sergeant, and it is expected that he
will acquit himself we'll in the respon-
sible position of first sergeant.
A meeting of the Hussars was held,
and there were. eleven new applications
for membership received. That num-
Der, added to those that had been al
ready received since the elevation of
Lieut.. w. w. Gordon, Jr., to the cap
taincy, made the total thirty-five. This
shows the strides that have been made
by the Hussars, and it is expected that
it will be but a matter of a short time
until the troop will have regained all
that it ever lost in the way of numeri-
cal strength and enthusiasm.

SEARCH FOR HER CATS.
Caused a Little Girl to Fire Clothes
in a Closet.

-
in Closet.
The agitation and anxiety of a cat
over her kittens caused a fire yester-
day afternoon at No. 206 Thirty
eighth street, east, the home of Mrs.
Eulalie Mcleod. The department was
called out, and it was only after some
little work that the flames were sub
dued. The loss was not inconsiderable,
as the entire contents of a closet,
which was filled with clothing, were
destroyed.
One member of the Mcleod house,
hold is a cat, which but recently has
had the cares of maternity devolve
upon her. Little Eulalie Mcleod, a
little tot of or 5, has been deeply
absorbed in the cat and her interest
ing family.
aEulalie was greatly exercised on find
ing that the cat had removed her fam
lily from their accustomed place. She
at once instituted a search for the
missing pets, looking high and low
for them. She did not know where the
mother cat had taken her offspring,
but her heart was in the search she
made, and every likely place under
went the careful scrutiny of the little
girls eyes.
One place seemed very inviting to
the little girl 1t was the closet where
in her mother kept clothes. All was in
darkness in the closet, but it seemed
likely that any seomfort-loving cat,
with the maintenance of a family to
be considered, would have chosen such
a place for her abode.
Little Eulalie struck match and
peered about in the closet, calling
kitty, kitty, kitty" But there was
no answering meow" and Eulalie's
sharp eyes could not detect the objects
of her search. She dropped the match
on the floor and left the closet, to con-
tinue her search elsewhere.
+ Presently smokel'was discovered is
suing from the closet. Then there was
much excitement An alarm was sent
in to the fire department and soon
the firemen and the neighbors were on
the scene. Amid great hubbub the fire
was extinguished. The final union of
Eulalie and the missing family did not
fully compensate the little girl for the
damage she had wrought

DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Dwelling at Price street and Park
Avenue Nearly Destroyed.


Fire partially destroyed the old one
and-a-h alf-stery frame house on the
southeast corner of Park avenue and
Price street yesterday afternoon, own
ed by the Warning estate. The shingle
roof was badly burned, and the inte-
rior was damaged considerably by wa
ter.
Hose Company No. 1, on Waldburg
street was summoned. and an alarm
from Box 46 was sounded by Foreman
Hancock. The roof was in flames be-
fore a stream of water could be gotten
on the fire. The southern section of
the department answered the alarm,
and the water stream made way for
line from one of the chemical engines
the one from No. station. Fire
Marshal Mouro directed the work of
the firemen and caused chemicals to
be used in place of water.
The lever floor was occupied by
Henry Johnson, colored, and the top
floor by William Kizer colored. Mem
bers of the Kizer family had built a
rousing fire in a stove on the second
floor and the flames ran out of the
top of the stove pipe and set fire to
the shingles. The property was insur-
ed but the coloreG occupants suffered

BURGLAR IN A CLOSET.
Lady Who Discovered Him Screamed
and Was Told to sShut Up"

Lady Who Discovered Him Screamed
and Was Told to "shut UP.''
A daring attempt at robbery was
made in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. NJ. Coney, No 1923 Barnard street,
last night shortly after s o'clock. Mr..
Coney had just left the house and Mrs.
Coney, who was all alone in the fiat
with her very young baby, crossed
the room in which she had been sit
ting, then started back to her seat.
when she was Mortified to see
strange man standing by the door of
a closet from which he had just come.
Mrs. Coney, though very much
frightened, thought to scare the man
from the premises by calling for her
husband as though he were in the next
room. She cried out. but. the man
told her to shut up" or something
of the sort. She then, catching up her
baby, ran past him and out of the
house slamming the door, which locked
behind her.
She notified friends in the fiat below
of the trouble she was in and they tel
ephoned the barracks for an. officer
and also got message to Mr.. COney,
who was at the armory of the First
Regiment. The officers arrived and
searched the house, one going in
through the front door and one from
the rear, but the wouldbe burglar had
evidently made his escape from the rear
when Mrs. Coney ran from the house.
Though very badly frightened. Mrs.
Coney was able to give a description
of the man, who, she says. is either
white or a very light mulattO, and
rather small. The police had not ar
rested any one in connection with the
case up to an early hour this morning.

MINISTERS DISAPPOINTED.
Judge Barrow's Charge Not what
They Expected.


They Expected.
The members of the Minister'S Asso-
ciaiton. who had been indirectly invit-
ed to be present at the
converting of the Superior Court
yesterday, attended almost in a body
and were among the most interested
listeners to Judge Barrow's charge to
the grand jury. Some of them even
had note books and took notes.
From the Court House they went d.
rect to the study of Rev. Ed F.. Cook,
where the weekly meeting was held
and where, afterward, they were seen
by a representative of the Morning
News for an expression of opinion on
the charge.
None cared to speak as individuals,
but collectively they said that the
charge had been a disappointment to
them. They would not go into par
ticulars as to in what the disappoint-
ment lay. but it is understood they re-
garded that part of the charge refer
ring to gambling and the Sunday open
ing of saloons not as strong as they
would have liked il.
Il have no criticism to make said
Rev. Mr.. Anthony, who was seen later
in the day. Let us wait and see what
will be done, with the sincere hope that
the milking of the cows will cease,
and that the court will either quit PEN
ming 'em or slaughter EN-.
Mr.. Anthony said that he considered
it unfair, unwise and impolitic to make
any other comment, and refused posi-
lively to discuss the charge in detail,
or give his first impression.

more than $4,000. The case has been

LESTER DOESN'T WANT 1T.
Declines the Franchise That the
City Council offered.

O1NN OOunc1I OuereO.
The franchise offered him by the
City Council for a street railway has
been politely declined by Mr.. d. b.
Lester. A letter from Mr.. Lester adj
dressed to the Mayor and Aldermen,
was received yesterday by Mayor My
ers, who declined to make it public,
and would say nothing further about
it than that it declined the franchise
on Montgomery street that had been
offered by Council some ten days ago.
Mr.. Lester wrote that he did not see
how Council could expect any sensible
man to accept such franchise as had
been offered him, when power house
would have to be erected and much
money expended for the establishment
and equipment of the Montgomery
street line. Besides, Mr. Lester wrote,
the franchise is impracticable, as il
could not be used with any hope of the
line constructed under it being made
to pay. No connections upon other
streets are allowed, and there would
not be sufficient revenue from the OPP
Grafton of the cars to make the bust
ness pay.
Riteration of former offers to Coun-
Gil was made by Mr.. Lester. Some
time ago he offered to light the city
for 10 per cent. less than it is now
paying, If the franchises he asked were
granted, and he had further offered to
make the fares on his line cents
from 6 until o'clock in the forenoon
and afternoon, for the benefit of la
boring men. He renewed these offers.
Mr. Testers declination was no sur
prise. 1t had been expected. He has
said that he considered the demands
too excessive, and the franchise in
complete. Council had stipulated that
his answer should be received within
ten days from the granting of the
franchise, or it would be withdrawn.
His letter reached the Mayor within
the prescribed time. but it declined

DAFFIN is STILL IN
NO CHANGE IN GUARDIANSHIP
Park AND TREE COMMISSION.
ELECTION NEXT JANUARY.
WILL GIVE A CHANCE FOR A
CHANGE TO BE MADE.

Meeting of the Park and Tree Com
mission Yesterday Was Attended
by All of Its Observation-Disclosures
Was introduced by Vice Chairman
C. $. Ellis, Fixing Next January as
the Time for the Election of OH
GERS for the CommissiOn-ElectiO
Thereafter VIII BE biennial.
Unanimous Vote Was Given the
Neutrality-suspicious. Was Ask
ed for Information About the
strand.
Chairman P D. Daffin will remain at
the head of the Park and Tree Commits
sion. Not until next January will the
opportunity be offered any member of
the commission, who might feel so in
cIined. to vote against him, for the
commission yesterday adopted resolu-
ton that provides for biennial cleo
lions, beginning next January.
The meeting was thoroughly unani-
nous. 1t developed nothing acrimoni-
GUS and the question of the termina-
ton of Chairman Daffins term was not
raised. The following resolution was
introduced by Vice Chairman c. S.
Ellis, seconded by Commissioner J. II.
H. Entelman and adopted;
THE question having arisen as to
term of office of the officers of the com
mission, and no rules having been
adopted regulating elections of same it
is hereby
Resolved That the present term of
Office of the chairman, vice chairman
and secretary shall expire at the first
regular meeting in January, 1903, at
which meeting, and every two (2) years
thereafter. an election shall be held for
chairman, vice chairman and secretary
who shall serve for two years or until
their successors shall be elected.
should the term of any commission
err expire before his term as an officer
of the commission expires, the vacancy
shall be filled at once"
Every member of the commission was
present at the meeting. The Mayor
has a right to attend the meetings of
the commission, but did not avail him
self of that right. The presence of Mr..
Entelman was taken to mean that the
question of an election of chairman
would be brought to a focus, as he
had been understood as intending to
raise IL again. his SGCOIu W lne IcSO-
luton introduced by Capt. Ellis, how
ever, showed that he was quite willing
to allow the present officers to remain
until next January without reelection,
and all the commissioners voted for the
resolution.
The question was asked during the
meeting whether the Strand. or any
portion of it, had been formally dedi-
Gated or recognized as a park. The
question grew out of the charges that
have been made against Mr.. E. S.
Player. as agent for the Standard Oil
Company, for allowing one of the COM
pany's teams to be driven across En-
met Park. A search of the records was
made. but nothing settling the ques
tion was found. The case is to be
given a hearing in the Police Court
this morning
Chairman Daffin prepared plans two
or three years ago for the improvement
of Ehmet Park, but these plans were
never carried out. The commission
asked for an appropriation for the
park. but II was not granted. The
Streets and Lanes Committee of Coun-
ell has assumed charge of the park
and the Park and Tree Commission has

NEW AUTOS ARE HERE.
Were out Yesterday for the Pleas
ure of Their Owners.

Frequently of late have Savannah
ians been treated to the spectacle of
something new in automobiles. Every
now and then some addition to the
collection of the carriages in Savan-
nah is made. and pedestrians and
those who ride in humber vehicles
than automobiles have an Oppor tunity
TO judge the wide latitude that separ-
ates the two extremes of automobile
construction.
The most recent additions to the
colony of automobiles in Savannah ar
rived yesterday aboard the steamship
Kansas City from New York There
were two of them, both Panhard ma
chimes, made in France. They belong
to Mr.. A. f. Whitney and Mr.. Roy A.
Rainey of New York who were pas
sengers on the Kansas City. They
were accompanied by Mr.. William 7.
Rainey and MIR. Carl j. Blemmer of
New York, and the party win remain
some time in Savannah.
At the bicycle and automobile es-
Establishment of Mr.. T. A. Bryson the
new machines We're quartered. They
were oiled up and made ready for d
run Immediately after they were I'M
loaded from the steamship. and dur
ing the afternoon the visitors had
their first spin over the streets of
Savannah and the roads entering the
city. The accounts they had received
of these roads had rendered the gem
tlemen particularly anxious to try
them, and they We're well satisfied
with the trial They found all that
had been told them of the roads per-
fectly true.
The automobiles run too fast
through the city. There is an ordi-
nance regulating the speed that auto
mobiles shall attain on the streets,
and the chauffeurs are not sufficiently
mindful of it. There have been no
serious accidents as yet, but they may
be expected if greater regard for the
safety of pedestrians and occupants
of other vehicles than some of the
automobilists display is not shown.
There are no restrictions governing
speed on the roads, and there the
machines may run as fast as they
can,
