SOLDIERS PREPARE FOR
AUGUSTA ENCAMPM ENT.

Orders Issued for Battalion Drills
and Guard Mount in Park Extern
sion.
The members of the First Regiment
are making active preparation for the
encampment at Augusta. Orders have
been issued calling the regiment out
on Monday Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evening for battalion drill
and guard mount. The battalion drill
will be held on Monday. and the guard
mounts on the other three nights, in
the Park Extension.
Col. Gordon returned yesterday from
Statesboro, where he went to instruct
Company A. the Statesboro Volunteers,
in guard mount. He found the COM
pany in fine condition, and the men en-
thusiastic over the coming encamp-
ment.
1t is probable that Col. Mills, U. s..
A, will be the army officer who will
instruct the regiments in camp, under
the provisions of the Dick bill. Col.
Gordon received a letter yesterday
from the Governor. advising him that
the War Department has been request
ed to assign Col. Mills to the task.
The regiment is also taking a great
deal of interest in rifle practice. 1t is
probable that there will be a large
representation on the range this after

FRAUD USED IN
SECURING SIGNATURE.

Heirs AIlege Deed Signed While
Grantor Was Non COmpOs Mentis.
The trial of the case of Marie Con-
way against Michael Egan, which was
commenced in the Superior Court yes
terday, promises to be productive of
some interesting developments. The
introduction of evidence will begin this
morning, the court having taken re-
cess after the jury was selected.
The complainant is seeking to have
a deed set aside, which was made by
her grand aunt. The deed conveys
considerable property. 1t is her con-
tention, as well as that of those asso-
ciated with her as plaintiffs in the case,
that collision, fraud and duress were
employed in securing the signature of
the grantor, who was then non compos
mentis. in substantiation of these al
legations the plaintiffs, it is understood,
will introduce some sensational testi-
mony.
The case has been pending in the
courts for over a year, but has never
been reached on it's merits, since the
attention of the court has been occu-
pied with the hearing of preliminary
pleadings. The defense attempted to
throw the case out of court on demur-
rer, but the court of last resort, to
which it was finally taken, decided that
the demurrer was not good.

as was supposed. A woman, George

the trouble.

Forced Women and Children to Seek
Cover at short Notice.
A small panic was caused on Liberty
street, west, yesterday afternoon about
o'clock by a runaway horse belong
ing to the Tietjen Grocery Company.
The animal became frightened through
the loosening of part of the wagons
woodwork and became unmanageable.
The negro driver, Reuben Galloway,
stuck to his post as long as he could,
but the animal damned the wagon
against the stone curbing, tore the
shafts loose, and dragged the man from
his seat.
He fell in front of the vehicle, but
held tight to the reins until the ami
NAL, plunging forward, jerked him into
the wheels and bruised his legs until
he was forced to let go. The horse
released, but with the broken shafts
still attached, ran to Whitaker street.
then turned westward and ran on the
sidewalk as far as West Broad before
he was captured.
There were a number of pedestrians
in the vicinity, and these made a rush
for nearby Stops and open doors. Sew
eral children had narrow escape, for
a number of them were playing on the
sidewalk, and the frightened animal
gave them little time to seek cover.
AS it was, however, only the driver
was hurt.

To Accept Place With Georgia Nor
NAL and Industrial College.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Parks will resign his place
as teacher of science in the High
School. The resignation will be pre-
scented the Board of Education at its
meeting Monday night, to become ef-
fective at the close of the school year.
Mr.. Parks will leave Savannah to ac-
cept the chair of pedagogy in the Geor-
gia Normal and Industrial College,
Milledgeville, to which he was recent
ly unanimously elected over twenty
eight other candidates.
Mr.. Parks came to the Savannah
schools some six years ago from a po-
sition in Wesley Female College, Macon.
He has given such excellent service
here that he will be greatly missed.
Besides the time devoted to his school
work, he has been very active in other
fields as we'll; he was chiefly instru-
mental in arranging the lecture course
of the last season, and has himself
given a number of lectures. based
mainly on his travels in Europe. He
was also one of the organizers of the
Savannah Tennis Club, and since the
organization has been one of it's most
enthusiastic members and best play
ers.
No applications for the vacancy Gre
ated in the High School have been re-
ceiVed, though there will be any num-
Der so soon as the fact that there is
a vacancy becomes known. No thought
has yet been given to a successor to
Mr.. Parks, as it is felt, says Mr.. Ash
more, that there is plenty of time be-
tween now and the opening of the
school this fall to settle this matter.

An account of the death of the in
FAINT at the mothers home on Ogle-
thorpe avenue, near Clifford street, was
published in the Morning News yes
terday. During the morning w. F..
Slater, Esq, called at police headquar-
tiers with Celia Bunyon, a 12-year-old
girl who was alleged to have admin
istered the fatal dose. The charge
against the juvenile nurse was made
TO the police by the Gray woman but
the officers had been unable to locate
the alleged poisoner.
The nurse girl was made a prisoner
and a charge of infanticide was lodged
against her She made a statement
in which she charged that the mother
while under the influence of liquor had
mixed the milk and poison. She re-
lated that the Gray woman was drunk
Sunday morning and that when the
baby began crying she fixed a bottle
of milk for it. A Cascaret was broken
and dissolved in the milk. after which
the large quantity of laudanum was
placed in the potion. according to the
story of the Bunyon girl.
In the face of this statement the
police felt constrained to place the
mother in custody. Detective Murphy
was INSTRUCTED to make the arrest after
the remains had been inferred. and
this was done. The mother denied the
story of the servant girl and was very
much concerned. She wept bitterly at
her lot in life and declared that she
was sober Sunday morning.
The officers are rather inclined to be-
lieve the story told by the girl nurse,
who does not deny that she gave the
infant the poisoned milk, but only in
sists that it was not mixed by her.
She says that she had no idea that
the mixture would kill the child, and,
in fact, gave the matter no thought.
The case against the mother and the
negro will be called by Recorder N.Y.
rick in Police Court this morning.

Charged with having Systematically
robbed express cars on the Atlantic
Coast Line, James Jackson, a negro
porter, and S. H. Nichols, a white flag
man, were taken to Jesup yesterday
by Sheriff Overstreet. The men were
arrested by Special Agent Godbold and
were detained at the police station.
The arrest of the f1agman and por-
ter was made under rather unusual
circumstances. For miles Agent God
bold watched the negro and white
man at work. They opened boxes and
crates with stove litter, ate peaches,
shucked corn and put such stuff as
suited their fancy into a satchel that
was carried into the car for the oc-
casion. Godbold and another repre-
sentative of the railroad were con-
cealed in the car that was being
robbed
For six weeks the Southern Express
Company was annoyed by petty steal

car from Waycross to Atlanta, and

of the case early in the week. The
thefts were always discovered at
Jesup. where the car was transferred
nightly, and it was noticed that they
occurred every other night. God
bold suspected that some of
the train crew were doing the
work and went to Waycross
Wednesday. At that point he
got into the loaded car with COM
panion and his presence was unknown
to the members of the train crew.
Some little while after the train pull
ed out of Waycross Godbold saw jack
son and Nichols enter the car with
satchel. The negro had a stove litter
and began opening boxes. The steal
ing continued without Godbold offer
ing any interference, and he watched
the porter shuck green corn that he
took from a barrel. The flagman was
by no means at ease, and once or twice
told Jackson that he shouldn't tear
things up so. The negro replied with
an oath that the white man hadn't
been in the business long enough, and
continued his work of destruction. The
two men in hiding heard all that was
said.
At Jesup the car was switched off and
| Godbold got out without being seen.
| He swung on to the last coach of the
| passenger train that came on to Sa-
vannah and kept his eye on Jackson
and Nichols. The officer did not want
to make the arrest before the end of
| the run had been reached, and when
the train pulled into the Union Station
he made the flagman and porter prs
| oners. Sheriff Overstreet was notified
and came to Savannah at once for the
men. The persistence with which the
thefts were committed aroused the
| company's officers to action rather than
the value of the articles stolen.

Col. Quinn VIII Recommend n Time
Limit on Savannah River Case.
Col. James B. Quinn is in receipt of
a communication from Mr.. Leonard
Phinizy, representing the commercial
interests of Augusta, which petitioned
the War Department to have draws
installed in the four bridges spanning
the Savannah river at that city, in
which he states that the work of con-
struction should be completed by Jan.
l, 1905. The communication is in re-
Spouse to a query sent by the United
States engineer, at the instance of the
War Department.
Col. Quinn has also written to the
Southern Railway, the sole objector
to the installation of the draws, ask
ing that they donate the time which,
in the estimation of the officials of the
road, it would require to complete the
work, but he has not yet received
reply. AS soon as it is received he
will forward his recommendation to
the War Department. 1t is expected
that an order will soon thereafter be
issued by the department, calling upon
the owners of the bridges to install
the draws.

INDIANS WILL SMOKE
PIPE OF PEACE,

Members of TOmOchichi Club Hold
Smoker in Their ParIOrs This
Evening.
The members of the Tomochichi Club
will meet in their club rooms tonight
to enjoy one of their regular Saturday
night smokers. These occasions have
grown very popular with the members
and are looked forward to with pleas
ureable anticipation.
1t has been the purpose of the House
Committee, under whose supervision
the functions are given, to provide
some form of regular entertainment,
and during the past winter the mem
bers have gathered together frequently.
In this way they have grown to know
each other, and consequently the so
cial feature of the club life has been
accumulated.
The smoker this evening will be
thoroughly informal. and no one is ex-
pected to wear his dress suit. The
absence of formality at the gatherings
has proven their chief charm. Music
will be furnished for the occasion by
Rosenfeld's Orchestra. 1t is expected
that the attendance will be large.

ARM0RY AND AUDITORIUM.
Would Mean Mutual Benefits to Sol
Jiers and Citizens.

Olers ana Cit1Eenss
The question of how to secure an
auditorium for Savannah is one that is
still being considered by many who
realize that the city's future as con-
vention city necessarily rests not only
upon the ability TO furnish convenient
and comfortable quarters for all dele
gates and visitors, but also upon hav-
ing a suitable place for meetings and
sessions of all sorts, no matter how
large the crowd to be taken care of.
To secure such an auditorium one
of the latest plans is advanced by
Mr.. o. S. Kulman, who suggests the
advisability of a deal with the First
Regiment, Infantry, G. S. T., for It's
regimental armory and property at
Huntingdon and Abercorn streets
whereby the present building can be
removed and a new structure. suited
to the uses of the military and also
providing a hall to meet all the re-
ouirements of an auditorium, can be
built.
The site is amply large and admir-
ably situated, Mr.. Kulman thinks, Tor
the purpose at hand, and all parties
to the plan would be benefited, for the
present building is none of the best,
is a wooden structure, old and not es-
pecially adapted to the use of mill
tary, while the new one could pc de-
signed with the special end of military
use in view.
The plan, more in detail, is that
two-story structure could be built for
about $50 900, one. having company
rooms and all the other facilities
needed in an armory on the first, or
ground floor, the second floor to be the
auditorium. This would be of service
70 the military, too, for in it might be
held the numerous prize drills, annual
balls and other functions that are now
given in other halls, rented for such
a purpose.
Mr.. Kulman thinks it will not be
necessary to call on the military for
any money but that the 100000 needed
for the enterprise can be secured on
stock to be issued. He. thinks that the
income from conventions, balls, and
other entertainments that would be
given in the hall would pay the stock
holders at least 5 per cent. on their
investment. He has given an outline
of this plan to a number of business
men, all of whom think it a good one.
Just what steps, if any, will be TAX
en- to further consider the matter are
not now known, though it is not i'm
probable that the matter may be
brought up for consideration by the
Chamber of Commerce as one of its
committees now has his question of
how to secure an auditorium under
consideration.
