OGLETHORPES GIVEN
PICTURE OF WAR FIELD.
Col. Estin Presented Them One of
First Battle of Manassas.

Col. EstII Presented Them One of
First Battle of Manassas.
A handsome Autograph picture Of the
battlefield of First Manassas, as it ap-
peared SHORTLY after the battle of Bull
Run, has been presented to the Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry by Lieut.. Col.
j. H. Estill, retired, an honorary vet
eran member of the command. who
served with it during the Civil War.
The picture is unique and rare one,
its principal value being in the fact
that it shows the field of the engage
ment just as it appeared after the men,
ora BILE struggle, the monument to Gen.
Barlow, who fell mortally wounded,
which was reared shortly after the bat
tie, being depicted in the center of the
field. The Autograph is a large one,
the name of Gen. Barlow and his dy-
ing words: They have killed me, boys,
but don't give up the fight" being
plainly discernible.
All of the principal points are de-
noted, and the positions of the various
brigades designated. The picture was
purchased by Col. Estill in 1872. 1t
will be hung in the hall of the COM
mand in the First Regiment Armory.
At a meeting of the Oglethorpes on
Monday evening, resolutions of thanks
were adopted and forwarded to Col.
Estill.

ANXIETY FOR VESSELS AT SEA.
Tallahassee Reached New York.
City of Macon Out.

wy hhSuh
There was some anxiety last night
among those who have friends
on board, for the steamship Tall
lahassee which sailed from Sa-
vannah Monday noon for New
York, and for the City of Macon which
sailed from New York Tuesday after
noon for Savannah. Both ships were
due off the lower Jersey coast yester-
day morning.
The Tallahassee arrived at quaran-
tine. New York, at 1875 o'clock.
The Macon is due here to-
night or tomorrow morning. The
State Of Texas left here Saturday night
for Philadelphia and probably arrived
before the storm. The Berkshire sailed
from Philadelphia Tuesday for Savan-
nah and may have caught it. The
Frederick also left Baltimore for Sa-
vannah Tuesday but was probably be-
low the storm. The Mallory Line
steamer Colorado left Brunswick for
New York Monday forenoon and was
probably caught.
On whether the storm was Sc
we're off the Jersey coast depends
the experience of the vessels. There
is no apprehension among the officials
OF the Ocean Steamship line or of the
Merchants and Miners line, and all the
vessels, though they may be delayed,
are expected to show up all right. The
vessels southbound have full passenger
lists.

COL0RED TEACHERS
ASSIGNED YESTERDAY.

The colored teachers in the city
schools for colored pupils were yes
terday assigned to their schools and
grades. Work on the remodeling of
the Maple Street School has progressed
rapidly and everything will be in
readiness by the opening of school on
Oct. l. This new school room pro-
vides accommodation for three more
grades and about 200 more pupils.
There will probably be a crowding in
the schools for a time until read
justment is made and even then there
may be many who will be unable to
obtain seats, but the new school house
and the retaining of the Duffy Street
Colored School will make a consider
able improvement in the conditions
which prevailed at the opening of
school last year.

NEW FEATURE IN BANKING.
Savannah Trust Company to Have
BrOughtOn Street Branch.

BrOughtOn Street Branch.
The Savannah Trust Company will in
augurate a new feature of local bank
ing Saturday, by establishing a
Broughton street branch in Living
stons pharmacy, which will be open
Saturday nights only to receive deposits
for the savings department. The plan
is a new one in Savannah, and, so far
as known. in the South.
The purpose in establishing the
branch will be to accommodate a large
number of patrons of the Trust Com
pany, and also to provide facilities
that will bring it new business. The
company considers that the easier and
more convenient the habit of saving
is made to the people the more they
will save, and consequently the larger
will become the banks business. A
record has already been established
by the Trust Company for the large
number of depositors in its savings de-
partment, which has more than exceed
ed expectations.
Secretary and Treasurer William V.
Davis, who originated the branch saw
ings department for the busy street
during it's busy night hours, intends
to make the new quarters attractive.
In front will be an electric changeable
sign, with forty sections. On this brill
liantly illuminated sign may be flashed
advertising matter that can be seen
from one end of Broughton street to
the other, and read by all who run.
In business circles the new move was
discussed yesterday, and it was pro-
nounced enterprising and progressive.
The branch will be open Saturdays
accounts may be opened and deposits
made.

A Fact Worth knowing

Is Piels Old German Lager Beer, the
best and purest on the market to-day.
1t is made of pure hops and malt, and
Piel Bros. of Brooklyn have gained a
worldwide notoriety for the rich, pure
old German lager beer that they bottle.
Do not let your restaurant or bar tell
you to take something which is just as
good. They know better, but they sim
ply have not got the Piels lager beer.
Hicks restaurant, Beckmann, on Whit
aker street, OFT, on Broughton street,
and Cad Bryan & Co. have always a
stock of fresh Pieps Old German Lager

BREAK IN RAINY SPELL
PREDICTED TO-DAY.
Yesterday Believed to BE Last OF
Wet Days for Awhile.

wet Days Tor awhile
A fraction less than 1h inches Of
rain fell yesterday, and, though the
skies We're still cloudy at night. the
weather forecasters have predicted
clear weather for to-day. The excess
rain for September is now ASS inches
and go inches for the year.
The continued rain has interfered
with nearly every line of business. The
streets are filed with water and at
several places the children were sail
ing miniature boats yesterday in the
puddles. Along some of the streets the
trolleys would send a wave of water
across the sidewalks whenever they
rushed through the pools lying on the
tracks. Contractors have practically
ceased building operations until dry
weather appears, and the shipping In
terests are complaining.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was "a degrees, registered at l O'Clock.
A peculiar fact about the temperature
was that the minimum was registered
only a half hour after the maximum,
the mercury standing at II degrees at
l:30 o'clock. This sudden drop was
caused by the heavy thunderstorm.
which passed over the city. The mean
for the day was IS degrees. an excess
OF one degree above the normal.
The southern storm was apparently
somewhere between Asheville and
Charlotte last night. In the morning 1t
was between Augusta and Atlanta, but
by evening had moved up. A large
high pressure area is moving rapidly in
this direction from the Northwest, and
though the high area which has been
over Savannah for some days has prac-
ucally moved away, yet there is no
danger of the storm coming here. The
northwestern high area viii swing into
the place vacated by the one which has
been here for the past week.
There is some doubt as to just where
the storm, which wrought 80 much
havoc at Atlantic City came from, ow-
ing to the fact that the Weather Blu
reau here gets very meager reports
from the northern parts of the coun-
try. The general opinion is, however
that this storm is the one which was
noted Tuesday, hanging over Iowa. If
such is the case the movement was ex-
tremely rapid, especially when con-
trasted with the very slow progress
made by the other storm. There is no
danger to Savannah from either storm.
