DIVISION OF SHARES.
How Application for Charter States
COnsOIidated's stock Is Held.

How Application for Charter States
COnsOIidated's Stock Is Held.
The application for a charter of the
new Consolidated Naval Stores Com
pany, which is now being advertised,
gives among other things the amount
of capital stock subscribed for by each
of the incorporators that the law of
Florida requires shall be named in the
application.
The paragraph of the application
dealing with this subject is as follows:
1.-The names and residences of the
subscribing incorporators of said cor
poration, together with the amount
of capital stock subscribed by each,
are as follows: B. F. Billiard, resid-
ing in Savannah, Ca, for 500 shares;
w. F. Coachman, residing in Jack
sonville, Fla, for $500 shares; w.
c. Powell, residing in Savannah. Ca,
for $500 shares: II. l.. Covington, re-
siding in Pensacola. Fla, for $3.50
shares; J. A. Crawford. residing in
Tampa, Fla, for ESQ shares: ]. R.
Saunders, residing in Pensacola, Fla,
ing in Savannah, Ga. for 2.100 shares;
II. A. McEachern, residing in Jack
sonville, Fla, for 1000 shares: D. H.
Mcmillan, residing in Jacksonville,
Fla, for 1000 shares"
This disposes of II 900 shares of the
capital stock, in the aggregate ST.
700, 900. The entire capital stock is rep
resented by 10000 shares, in the ag-
gregate 100000. If the figures given
in the application represent an actual
fact, which is altogether doubtful.
there are $4,000 shares of the COM
pany which have not been subscribed.
The probabilities all are that these
shares of stock have been taken in
the names of the several incorporators
of the new company for purposes of
incorporation merely, and that not I'M
til the company is formally organized
will the actual allotment of shares
take IAace. This conclusion is borne
out by the statement made to the
Morning News by Mr.. w. c. Powell,
who is to be president of the Consoli-
dated Naval Stores Company, that the
assets of the several constituent COM
panies were to be paid for in stock of
the new company at a price fixed by
representative committee. This COM
mittee is not to report until the or
ganization meeting next month,

Legion in advance of the American
army, arrived at Beaulieu on the day
that Count d Estaing landed. and re-
ceived a warm welcome from the
French commander. Pulaskfs legion,
which had been in camp about fifty
miles northeast of Augusta In order TO
procure supplies, had by direction of
Gen. Lincoln Joined Gen. Mcintosh and
together their commands advanced
rapidly towards Savannah, driving the
British outposts before them and clear
ing the country between the Great
Ogeechee and the Savannah river of
the British and their sympathizers.
On the 18th, 1.200 French troops,
with Pulaski's Legion in the van, ad-
vanced from Beaulieu to within three
miles of Savannah. and on the same
day Gen. Lincoln's army, which, owing
to the lack of boats, had taken two
days in crossing the Savannah river
by way of Zubly's Ferry, rendezvoused
at Cherokee Hill, and the day follow
ing continued its march to Savannah
and went into camp on the plateau to
the southwest of the town.
The next two days, the 18th and
18th. were spent in correspondence be-
tween Count d'Estaing and Gen. Pre-
vost. in which the former demand
ed the surrender of the town. and the
latter played for delay. and eventu-
ally replied that he had decided to de-
fend it.

WadIey's Big Barbecue.

Wadley, Ga, Oct. S.-Fully 5000 peo-
pie attended the grand free barbecue
given by the Wadley board of trade
to-day. Louisville offered a 10 cent ex-
cursion, but late offered a fee one,
and promised free dinner, but it did
not attract the crowd. Several of the
business men of Swainsboro were well

Since the first of September, when
the French feet appeared off the
coast, the British commander had not
been Idle. He set 1900 men. mostly
negroes, 10 work strengthening the old
defences of 177s and building others.
Col. Cruger, who was at Sunbury with
his command. was called in, and Col.
Maitland, in command at Beaufort,
was ordered to Savannah with his
Highlanders. This officer fanked the
French guard vessels at Tybee by
coming through Walls Cut, then only
wide enough for a row boat, and
brought his 500 soldiers to the aid of
the besieged garrison.

and Thunderbolt, and sent TO Charles
ton, and the French army embarked
on its ships. d Estaing with a part OF
his fleet sailed for France and the
others went to the Chesapeake, the
West Indies and to Charleston.
Gen. Lincoln and his army recrossed
the Savannah river, and Georgia was
left in a worse condition than before
the coming of the French.
Count d'Estaing's headquarters were
in a large house" at Thunderbolt
During the siege and retreat all the
buildings there, and also at Bonaven-
ture, Greenwich, Causton's Bluff and
other places nearby were used as hos
pitfalls or officers quarters.
Col. Maitland of the Seventy-first
Regiment, Highlanders, who was in
immediate command of the British
forces at the point of attack and dis
tinguished himself in the battle, died
on Oct. %. The story is that his
death was the result of a long de-
bauch, incident to celebrating the vic
tory.
There is a tradition that Count Pu-
lash died at Greenwich and his re-
mains were buried under an oak tree.
The late Maj. w. P. Bowen, the chair
man of the commission that erected
ed that that gallant soldier was buried
at Greenwich and not at sea, and he
had the grave opened and the relics
taken up and buried beneath the mon
ument. There is no doubt, however that
Pulaskfs remains were committed to
the deep, he having expired while being
taken to Charleston OH war vessel.
Among the negroes at Greenwich in
olden times there was a story that ev-
cry year at midnight on Oct. 9, ghost
ly horsemen were to be seen encircling
the grave under the oak tree where
Pulaski was supposed to have been
buried, and that as day dawned a
blast of a bugle rang out upon the
air, and at its sound the phantom SOL
diers disappeared. 1t is said that
after the removal of the contents of
the grave in 1853 the apparitions ceas-
ed to appear.
No further attempt was made to
wrest Savannah from the enemy, but
from the coming of Gen. Greene to the
South, until July IL, 1882, the British
were kept well within the town, when
| under the stress of war Gen. Clarke,
the British commander, was permitted
by Gen. Wayne, who commanded the
| American army in the vicinity, to
evacuate the town under certain con-
ditions, and Lieut.. Col. James Jack
son, afterwards general, senator and
most in undoing the Yazoo fraud, was
| accorded the honor of accepting the
surrender of the town.

On the refusal of the British to sur
render the French army moved to with
in 1.2O0 yards of the town, clearing
away the forest from Millen's Swamp,
which was just west of the Park Ex-
tension, to the lowlands near Laurel
Grove Cemetery for their camp. The
Americans took position to the left, or
west of the French.
Guns, war material and supplies were
landed at Thunderbolt, and on the 25th
or September the bombardment of the
town began.
An episode of the siege mentioned
by historians is the erection by the Brit
lsh of new and heavier battery in
the rear of the barracks, near the re-
doubt, that commanded the roads from
White Bluff and Ogeechee river, which
stood near where the De Soto hotel
now stands. The work was done in a
night. The French cannoneers had
selected the barracks, a large build
ing. as a good range for their shots.
and were surprised one morning to see
that the building had disappeared and
battery of heavy guns had taken its
place.
The batteries of the allies during the
siege threw thousands OF shot and shell
into the town. and the French gun
boats off Fig Island point. and the frig-
r,
added to the work of destruction The
non-combatants had to seek shelter in
cellars and under the bluff, and even
in those places some met death. A
shell killed young mother and the
baby in her arms.
A flag of truce was sent asking that
Mrs. Mcintosh, the wife of Cen Nc
1ntosh, and children be permitted to
leave. Maj. John Jones, who carried
the flag found them living in a cellar
with others in equally distressing cir
cumstances. The British general re-
FUSED the request, and they remained
throughout the horrors of the siege.
From the 21st OF September until the
9th of October there was little cessa-
ton in the firing. The French and
Americans discovered from the
effect that the British fire had on their
sand batteries, that they were vast
ing time and ammunition in lombard
ing the town. The damage done by
the cannonading was to the houses and
non-combatants. There were only 100
soldiers of the garrison killed and
wounded previous to the 9Th of Octo-

supplies also were short, and the meat

JOKE ON MoNDELL.
His Mail Filled With Protests Against
Bill He Didn't Introduce.

Washington. D. G. May 19.-(spe-

special carrier to deliver Representa-
tive Mondell's mail these days. The
tremendous increase Of correspond
ence is due to the appearance in one

lowing paragraph:
"A bill providing a penalty of a maxi.
mum fine Of 5000 or imprisonment for
not to exceed two years against com
mon carriers, such as traction compa-
MES, railroad companies OF. other trans.
portation companies, in the District Of
Columbia who shall discriminate on

sengers, has been introduced in the
house by Representative Mondell OF
Wyoming"
Mt. Mondelrs morning mail consists
Of innumerable protests from the white
citizens Of the district. and equally
numerous congratulations from the
colored contingent.
The joke Is on Mondell, for he didn't
introduce the bill ia question; It was
introduced by Representative Morrell
of Pennsylvania.
