| thias, will be observed with fitting GER
emonies next Tuesday, the principal

the First Regiment. Following the
dress parade and review, the knights
will proceed to their castle, where re-
freshments will be served. The cele-
bration in commemorat ton of the

organizing of rank, falls this year
on Sunday.

ty-fifth anniv ersary of the organizing
Of the Uniform Rank in Savannah.
The first uniform of the rank in this
city was worn by Mr. James Naylor,
Jr., of Brooklyn, who visited in the
city twenty-five years ago in the in
terests of the order. The other men,
bers who were associated With him in
establishing the Uniform Rank here
were Messrs. r. r. Richards, Samuel
Roberts and Mr.. r. E. L. Brouse. The
first company in Savannah was named
the Du Guesclin, after a famous
French fighter. and many of the mem
bers of the old company are still active
in Pythianism.

IMPROVEMENTS BY
POSTAL COMPANY
Forces Increased and Several New
stations Opened.

Forces Increased and Several New
stations Opened.
The Postal Telegraph and Cable
Company will soon begin increasing
their force. Within a short time the
messenger force Will be increased by
at least one-third and the operating
force will also be enlarged. The en-
larged Office in the Cotton Exchange
requires an augmented force and the
rapid increase of business has made
it necessary for the company to add
to it's operating force in the main Of
flee. There will also be some new
equipment installed in the main Of
flee.
this city and Augusta are being over
hauled and thoroughly examined and
an additional wire is being strung be-
tween the two places. The business
of the company has been growing
steadily and new offices are being
opened almost daily. Within short
time offices have been opened at Way
cross, Montezuma, Moultrie, Albany
and Thomasville. When asked yester-
day concerning these improvements
Manager Hughes said, among other
1.-The increase of our messenger force
and also of our operating force is made
necessary by the rapid growth of our
business in this section. We find that
we are having all the business that we
can handle with the present force,
ana the steady manner in which it has
increased with the approach of fall
makes it imperative for us to increase
the facilities for handling it. Our en-
largement of the Office in the Cotton
Exchange requires additional opera
tors and our improvements in the main
office also necessitates more operators
and more workmen.
Throughout the state the company
is rapidly growing and almost daily
we open an office in a new city or
town The business which the compa ny
is doing in this part of the country
makes all these improvements neces-
sary."

The $1,000 Prize to BE Contested
for in Big RegimentaI Match.

dependent Troop third. Upon the
scores made in the skirmish depends
the winning. of the match. The Horse
Guard team being % points ahead, it
is likely that they will win the prize
money.
In Interesting Contest.
Fifteen teams were entered in the
company match, and the greatest in
.terest prevailed as the various ranges
were shot, and the results noted. 1t
was apparent, after the first two ranges
had been shot, that the contest was
I. between Company B of the Guards,
Company of the Guards, the Gov
ernor's Horse Guard and the German
Volunteers, with some chance for the
Savannah Cadets. At the last range the
contest had become a triangular one,
the Horse Guard, Company B and the
German Volunteers all having good
scores, with the first named in the lead.
This lead was overcome by the mem
bers of Capt. Stephens command, and
all but overcome by the Germans.
Owing to the large number of entries.
it has been deemed advisable to extend
the time of the shoot another day, so
that, instead of winding up the shoot
tomorrow, it will be continued
through Saturday. Most of the visiting
teams will remain over, and it is ex-
pected that the matches will be fully
as interesting as the ones shot yester-
day.

TWO BIG NEGROES.
DONE UP BY WALL.
In Desperate Fight at City Market
Detective Was Bitten.

w MS
After a hard fight, during which he
was slightly bitten on the right hand,
Detective Frank Wall subdued two
negroes at the City Market early yes
terday afternoon.
Had the officer been a less powerful
man he would have been worsted by
the negroes and would probably have
been severely handled. Cato Singleton,
wiry negro, had been arrested by the
plain clothes man as a suspicious char
as the negro who robbed Kassel's
pawnshop and badly bit the proprietor.
When the detective started to open
the Gamewell box on the west side of
the City Market, Singleton showed
fight and began biting at the officer.
The negroes teeth broke the flesh on
Wallis hand and he reached for his
billy. So did the prisoner and in the
scuftie the handle of the weapon
broke. The detective released his hold
on the broken handle and let the pris-
oner have the loaded end. But Sin
gleton was not given a chance to use
it.
Before he could strike Wall clutched
him by the throat. shut his wind off
and began striking his head on the
pavement. The plain clothes man was
having hard time of it, however, and
the negro continued to fight. A crowd
of negro hucksters were urging the
prisoner to keep up the fight and sew
eral negro men were urged to take a
hand against the officer. Mark Middle
ton, powerful negro, cursed the Off
Ger and ordered him to stop striking
Singleton.
About this time Patrolman Bryant,
on duty in the Market, hurried outside
and Singleton, who had been choked
into submission, was turned over to
him. The detective made for Middle
ton. who also showed fight Wall
landed a few square blows on the Sec
ond man and put him to sleep in short
order. Before the arrival of the pa
troll wagon the negroes scattered and
no other arrests were made. Middle
ton is charged with melting riot. He
will also answer for using profane Ian
guage and cursing in the street.
1t is hardly likely that Singleton will
be arraigned this morning. He is sus-
pected of having stolen tools from the
Seaboard Air Line yards and there will
probably be other charges against him.
He was positively identified by Pawn
broker Kassel as the negro who stole
several watches from his store on
Broughton street several weeks ago.
Singleton made his escape at that time
by badly biting the pawnbroker, and
when he began using his teeth at the
Gamewell box Wall suspected that he
was the man wanted for the Kassel
Job" The trouble occasioned a great
deal of excitement among the negroes
around the market.
Singleton afterwards declared that
he hadn't. done any fighting. DE de-
tective is de man what fought" said
Singleton, IAN he sure done it
plenty. He stop off my win like 1
been a chile, an de way he knock dat
other fellow down sure shows dat any
body what fights wild him amt got no
chance to git away" Singleton de-
clared that he didn't know Wall was
an officer. He denies that he has been
guilty of any wrongdoing. f'e

MRS. WALSH
SUING FOR $4,000.
Asks Judgment for That Amount
for the Loss of Her Husband.

Asks Judgment for That Amount
for the Loss of Her Husband.
Through her attorney, Mr.. c. T.
Ladson, Mrs. Maggie Walsh filed suit
in the City Court yesterday morning
for $4,000 against the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway Company, alleging in her
plea that her husband came to his
death through the negligence of the
road in allowing a car replacer to re-
main in the middle of the track near
the Coast Line junction, and that the
replacer was the cause of an accident
which resulted in the death of her hus-
band. Inasmuch as she suffered the
loss of her means of support, she asks
a judgment for the sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Walsh was an engineer on one
of the switch engines in the yards of
the Atlantic Coast Line, and while
driving his engine on Aug. 10, the
shift link struck a car replacer which
had been dropped by some train that
had gone before, and forced the re-
verse lever of the engine back against
tn engineers shoulder with such force
that it inflicted injuries from which he
died the next day.
