URGING AUGUSTUS CLAIMS
FOR ENCAMPMENT,

Capt. Frank E. Beane of the Rich
mond Hussars, First Cavalry, was in
Savannah yesterday for the purpose of
interesting the Savannah military and
particularly the First Infantry and
First Cavalry in the movement TO
have the encampment of those COM
mands at Augusta. Capt Beane re-
turned to Augusta last night with as
surances of aid from the local military.
The movement to have the encamD-
ment at Augusta was first mentioned
In the Morning News, at which time
the advantages of Fort Mckenzie. a
point near Augusta, where the Augusta
military propose to have the encamp-
ment, were set forth in full. These
advantages were brought to the atten-
ton of Col. Gordon Lieut.. Col. Grav-
son and Maj Coney of the First In
fantry and Col. Meldrim of the First
cavalry yesterday by Capt Beane.
Col. Gordon, and the other officers
OF the First Infantry assured Cant
Beane that the officers and men of the
First Infantry were thoroughly in
sympathy with the movement which
he represented, and would do all in
their power toward getting the en-
campment at Augusta. Col. Gordon in
formed Capt Beane that he had AL
ready written to Gov. Terrell recon-
mending that the encampment be or
dered near Augusta.
Col. Meldrim, when asked whether
he favored the encampment of the
First Cavalry with the First Infantry
at that point, answered that he would
not advocate brigading of the infan-
try and cavalry, and infinitely pre-
ferred going into separate camps, but
as a good soldier, was willing to go
wherever he was ordered.

EXHIBITION OF FREAK
CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Order Issued Further Circumsc rib
ing Rights of Guardian.

An interesting order. fixing the rights
of Martha Bournes, the grandmother
of the armless deformity whose GUS
tody was awarded her in the habeas
corpus proceedings in the Court of Or
binary. in which the step-mother was
endeavoring to secure possession of the
boy. was passed by Judge McAlpin
yesterday.
1t was apparent to the court that
neither of the parties seeking the lit
tie unfortunate's custody were doing
so for any other reason than that of
securing an income from exhibiting
him In his order, Judge McAlpin
temporarily grants the keeping of the
child to the grandmother, with the re-
striction that she shall not exhibit him
anywhere in Chatham county, nor shall
the armless boy be allowed-sto ask for
aims, under pain of contempt of court
1t is further ordered that the boy shall
not be removed from the confines of
the county.
Under this ruling of the court the
boy cannot longer be used as a source
of revenue. The little fellow, who is
but years of age, is a repulsive de-
formity, having no arms, but, rather,
stumps resembling hands or fins grow
ing out of his shoulders. With these
little stumps he received aims, and by
a peculiar little wiggle of the abbre-
Waited member, places it in a pocket on
his shoulder. The boy is unusually
bright, and never failed to attract a
large crowd when exhibited on the
streets.

INVITATIONS ISSUED TO
HUSSARS' PRIZE DRILL.

Uses TO BE Interesting Event.

sabre Contest at Hotel Tybee Prom
Uses TO BE Interesting Event.
Invitations are out to the twentieth
annual prize sabre contest of the Geor-
gia Hussars at Hotel Tybee on Monday
evening next. The Committee on Ar
engagements of which Lieut.. W. H.
C0nnerat, Jr., is chairman, has about
perfected all arrangements. and the af-
fair promises to be equally as enjoy
able as those heretofore given by the
cid command.
Proprietor Charles F. Graham of the
Hotel Ty bee has offered many induce
ments to the troopers and their friends
Which viii, no doubt, insure the pres
ence of ali even larger attendance than
heretofore. The hotel will be thrown
open TO the visitors, and an excellent
supper furnished Levin's Orchestra
will furnish music for the occasion, in
terspersing airs throughout the pro-
gramme and at its conclusion, for
dancing. In addition an excellent
schedule Of trains has been arranged,
50 thac the Hussars and their friends
may chase the glowing hours with fly
ing feet until after midnight, the last
train coming in from the island at l
O'Clock, city time.
Invitations have been sent to all of
the ladies who aided the troop in Its
baz aar, ana it is expected that many
of them will witness the exhibition.
There will also be a number of basket
parties as heretofore. The drill is a
public exhibition, and is free to all, the
invitations being sent merely as mark
of appreciation to the friends of the
command who have aided it in the past.
The drill will be the largest held by
the command in many years. The en-
listed strength of the command is now
larger than it has been for some time,
there being sixty-five members of the
troop who will compete in the contest.
This increased number will, of course,
result in a closer and more hard
fought contest, and it would be i'm
possible to pick the winner in a score
of guesses.
The contest will begin at 8: 80 o'clock
on the pavilion at Hotel Tybee. The
committee on floor, of which Sergt.
Harry Daniel is chairman, has arrang-
ed for the comfort of the guests, and
in addition to the benches on the pa
Vilton, there will be additional seats
provided for the friends of the COM
mand.
Interest in the contest is rife. Drills
are being held every night, and the
men are attaining a degree of excel
lence which bespeaks the excellent
training of the officers and insures for
the exhibition a hearty reception and
an unqualified success.
The members of the committee
which have the affair in charge are:

BUNCH OF SILVER
SEEKS AN OWNER.
Basket of SfIyerware Held at
Police Headquarters.

A Basket of SfIyerware Held at
Police Headquarters.
Silver tableware whole basket of
it's held at police headquarters pend
ing the arrival of the owner.
Just who the silver belongs to is
something that the officers are very
anxious to know. 1t was taken from
under a warehouse near Jones Field
by Detective Murphy, but was first dis
covered by several small boys at play.
One of the boys carried a piece of the
silver home, and his father notified
the plain clothes men.
The lad stated that he had gotten
the silver from a basket under the
warehouse, and that there was plenty
more there. a search revealed the
truth of the assertion, and the plumber
was taken in charge by the detective.
The silver was wrapped in a tablecloth
and was in a cheap basket. 1t did
not have the appearance of having been
under the warehouse for any great
length of time.
No report of the theft of silverware
has been made at police headquarters
recently, and the detectives are anx-
ious TO find out how the valuables got
under the warehouse. and VINO owns Ihe
property. Detective Murphy recalls
that at least a year ago some report of
the theft of silver from a vessel in port
was made. but the property was never
recovered. Still it is believed that the
STUFF in the custody of the officers was
only recently hidden. 1t may have
been taken from some vessel in port
and put under the warehouse shortly
before it was discovered by the boys.
There are a half dozen forks marked
D. s.; a fish spoon marked D. L.; a
goblet or loving cup engraved H. H.

napkin rings, one marked D. L. H.
