"A GENTLEMAN FROM INDIANA"
GOV. Dufbin, His Staff, and Friends,
visited savannah.

Gov. Winfield 7. Durbin of Indiana,
with the members of his staff and sew
eral ladies reached Savannah yester-
day shortly after noon en- route to the
Charleston Exposition and home. The
party has been on a trip to Cuba and
through the South and came to Savan-
nah direct from the Florida resorts.
Savannah has an especial interest for
Gov. Durbin for as colonel of the One
Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana Regi-
ment he was here with the Seventh
Army Corps. At that time he made
many friends several of whom he met
yesterday during his stay. Among them
is Postmaster Joseph F. Doyle, who
escorted the party on a carriage drive
about the city in the afternoon.
A visit was also made to Bonaven-
ture and to the Savannah Yacht Club
at which place the visitors We're the
guests of Mr.. w. l.. Gignilliat whose
brother, Lieut. Colonel l.. r. Gignilliat,
is a member of Gov. Durbin's staff.
On it's way to Thunderbolt the party
stopped at the old camp ground of the
161st Indiana, which Gov. Durbin was
very anxious to see again. Speaking
of the visit afterward Gov. Durbin said
that there had been a decided change
and improvement in the place, and, in
fact that the whole city appeared to
have grown a great deal. All the MEM
bers of the party were pleased with
Savannah and regretted that the itin-
erary of their trip prevented a longer
stay. They left for Charleston at
night. A stay of day or maybe two
will be made visiting the exposition,
another day will be spent in Asheville,
N. c., and then the trip will be con-
tinued to st. Louis and home.
Those who are in the party besides
GOV. and Mrs. Durbin are Gen. b.

Charles e. Wilson of Lebanon; Col.
and Mrs. T. II. Johnson, Indianapolis f,

MAYOR WILL ARRANGE.
He Is Anxious for Success of "savan-
nah Day" at the Exposition.


Mayor Myers hopes to make April 16
which has been designated Savannah
Day." an important one for the
Charleston Exposition. He will take
up the matter of special excursion
trains with the Plant System as soon as
Passenger Traffic Manager B. w.
Wrenn returns to the city, and he is
hopeful that he will be able to arrange
rates and schedules that will admit of
an attendance from Savannah of be-
tween 5000 and 10000.
Mayor Myers yesterday spoke very
enthusiastically of Savannah Day."
He hopes for it's success, and will leave
nothing undone that might contribute
to that success. "The Plant System"
said the Mayor, "can, if it will, grant
a very low rate for the day, and it
should do so. The agreements entered
into by the lfnef< comprising the South
eastern Passenger Association should
not interferer in the slightest degree
with the arrangement of excursions
and low rates over the Plant System,
for this line has no competitor between
here and Charleston. There is no rea-
son, really, why the company should
not name a low rate"
The reports of the many soldiers and
other Savannahians who visited
Charleston last Friday have induced
many to determine TO take the trip IL
a favorable opportunity should offer.
All saysthat the attractions are very
creditable and well worth seeing. Their
accounts of the wonders of the exposi-
ton have not been without effect, and
il seems fair to expect that If a low
rate IL named by the Plant System
for Savannah Day." there will be
large attendance of Savannahians.

DORTIC'S BAIL FIXED
JUDGE BARROW PUTS AMOUNT OF

In the Superior Court yesterday
morning Judge Barrow admitted w. H.
Dortic to the privilege of bail, fixing
the amount at $4,000. The application
was made by Judge III. d. D. Twiggs,
of counsel for Dortic and was resisted,
though not very vigorously, by the
solicitor general
Judge Twiggs reviewed at length the
argument in favor of his client and the
evidence by which it had been support
ed at the trial, stated that Dortic had
that mistrial had resulted in his case.
Judge Twiggs said that it would be
manifestly unfair to keep Dortic in Jail
pending such time as he could again
be placed on trial for the offense with
which he was charged, of which Of
fense, it was noted by the way, not a
single one of the jurors who had last
tried the case had thought him guilty.
Solicitor General Osborne did not
make any very strenuous objection to
Dortic's release on bail, though he
stated to the court that he did not
think bail should be allowed.
Judge Barrow decided that the de-
fendant should be allowed to give bond
and fixed the amount at $4,000. This
bond is to be given with security to be
approved by the court or it's authority
and is to answer for the defendant S
appearance at the next term of court to
stand trial on a charge of murder.
The bond was not sumbitted to
the court for its approval yester-
day, but Judge Twiggs stated that he
expected to be able to get it ready in
the course of a day or two.

His Physicians Reports Assure an
Early Recovery.
Hundreds Of anxious Inquiries were
made yesterday at Mrs. Heyward's
residence, the home OF Rev. Charles HI.
Strong, as to his condition, and general
satisfaction was expressed when ia
vorable reports were received. There
had been much anxiety among Mr..
Strong's friends and among his
parishioners, as it was known that he
had sustained a stroke of paralysis
Sunday night while on his way to
church.
Mr.. Strong's physician said that his
patient will be able to be out within
two weeks. Mr.. Strong was in bed
bright and clear though and only his
limbs are affected. He was unable to
walk. but his physician is confident
that this effect of the stroke sustain
ed will soon disappear.
The confidence of the physician was
assuring. and Mrs. Strong, who is
in Rome, was not notified. The physi-
clan said that Mr.. Strong would be well
before Mrs. Strong, even if she were
cabled, could reach Savannah.
A number of kilograms were receiv-
ed, expressing regrets of the senders.
One of these was from Bishop Nelson
of the diocese of Georgia, who express
ed the hope of the bishop, the clergy
and all the Episcopal laity of the state
that Mr.. Strong might soon be restor-
ed to perfect health.

NOW CAPTAIN GORDON.
New Officers Chosen Last Night by
the Georgia Hussars.


The election among the Georgia
Hussars last night resulted in First
Lieutenant W. w. Gordon, Jr, becom-
Ing captain and Sergt Isidore Silver
berg becoming first lieutenant of the
troop. An election for second lieu
tenant will be held next Monday night.
Mr.. w. NJ. Davant and MIR. Waring
Russell Jr., were the freeholders who
superintended the election. There was
full attendance of members of the
troop, and an encouraging drill was
held after the preliminary election,
which was held at O'Clock. The legal
election took place between the hours
of and 10 o'clock.
The vacancies occurred through the
resignation of Capt. C. A. l.. Cunning
ham. The election was to fill the va
cant captaincy and other vacancy
that might be caused thereby. This
meant, as Lieut.. Gordon became cap
tain, that the first lieutenancy was
vacant. Sergt. Silverberg, therefore,
was chosen to FIJI the position. Sec
ond Lieutenant r. p. Constantine re-
signed some days ago. but after the
order for the election of captain had
been issued. An additional order.
therefore, for the election of second
lieutenant had to be issued.

WERE SHORT ON SLEEP.
Company Assemblies Called on to
Allow Soldiers to Catch Up.


Company assemblies generally were
called off last night among those COM
mands that made the trip to Charles
ton. Many of the men had had insult
ficient rest on the trip, and it was de-
sired tc allow them all of last night to
catch up on the sleep they had lost.
1t is safe to say that few of the SOL
diers needed any rocking 20 put them
to sleep.
Stories of the exposition and of the
sights they saw and the experiences
they had were related among their
friends with great zest by those VINO
took the trip. Nearly every man was
enthusiastic over the exposition, which
seemed to be a general surprise to all,
as it was so much better than had been
looked for.
Members of the Republican Blues
were busy correcting the impression
that their company had participated in
any way in the row that occurred with
members of the First Regimen. Band
on the way to Charleston. Capt. Will
son and others declared that the Blues,
while crowded in their cars, yet had no
share in the fights.
Corpl. Joseph A. Blake of the E,nmet
Rifles was not at all seriously hurt be-
tween the cars. 1t was thought at
first that he had been severely mashed,
possibly fatally, about the stomach,
but an examination made by the sur
geon from the United States Marines
post near the place where the cars were
parked, disclosed that there was no rea-
son for alarm. Corpl. Blake was at his
work again yesterlay, none the worse
for his mishap, which might have been
very serious. He was standing between
two of the, cars, when the locomotive
was coupled on. He was pinched, but
that was all.

ThunderboIt Property Owners De-

IhunuerDOH properly owners De-

Until the Mayor and aldermen of the
town of Warsaw approve the new map
which they have had made, the prop
erty owners who believe they have
cause to register a protest against the
laying of double tracks on the bluff
will hold off.
A citizens club was to have been
organized last night, but the weather
prevented an attendance large enough
to warrant the perfecting of an organi-
zation. The rain poured down in tor
rents, but some half dozen interested
owners of Thunderbolt soil faced the
rain storm and met at AmboS'
place. The situation was discussed in
an informal way, but nothing was
done.
In the language of one of those who
attended the meeting the citizens don't
know just where they are or what the
exact situation is. I'VE don't know yet
just whether we have a kick coming
said one of those who attended the
meeting. I'VE cannot do anything un-
til we find out just what is going to
happen and this we will not know until
Council has held its meeting and de-
termined upon the new map"
The meeting of the Town Council
will be held tonight and the citizens
have been invited to attend and ex-
press themselves on the subject of the
new map. Until the property owners
know what this may shows they will
not be in a position to register any
protests and as one of them sugges ted
there may be nothing to kick on. The
difference of opinion as to what are
streets and what are not seems to be
the real cause of the friction and the
property owners are of the opinion
that Council claims certain property as
streets that is owned by individuals.
The meeting tonight promises to be an
interesting Cne
