VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE
Unwilling of "New Market" MOnu-
ment.


The long talked of New Market
monument is at last an accomplished
fact. This superb work of art, the
handiwork as we'll as the gift of Sir
Moses J. Ezekiel of Rome, Italy, a
graduate of the Virginia Military In
stitute, and a gallant member of the
New Market Corps" will be unveiled
on the Parade Ground of the institute
on June %, proximo.
A formal invitation to be present
will be sent to every "old cadet" whose
address is known. But it Is believed
that this suspicious event calls for
more than simple invitation. 1t will
be an event of such momentus inter-
est to the Virginia Military Institute
and her sons that it is thought proper
to issue special appeal to every one
who has ever worn the gray coat of
the Virginia Military Institute cadet to
be present 1t is designed TO make this
occasion not only memorial to the
brave boys who yielded their lives on
their country's altar on the historic
field of New Market and to their conf
rades-all who composed that splendid
battalion of Virginia Military Institute
cadets-but to make it also a reunion
of 'old cadets" from 1889 to 1903; and,
in this view, it cannot but be a joyous
occasion. 1t is the earnest wish of the
institute authorities and of the Virginia
Military Institute Alumni Association
that there shall be vast throng of
"old cadets" present to participate in
the ceremonies and joys incident to the
occasion. While the event will be of
peculiar interest to the survivors of the
famous New Market Corps, it is hoped
all the alumni and ex-cadets will take
a warm interest in il. ------

MAY GET MILLIONS
GEORGE II. MCDONALD HAS FOR
TUNE IN VIEW.
LEFT By A RELATIVE.
FROM POVERTY TO AFFLUENCE
MAY BE HIS STEP.

Newspaper Clipping Sent Here
Spread the RepOrt-COl. II. l.. Cold
ing Has Been Retained as Counsel
and viii Investigate the Cnse.
Mcdonald Says That He Is the
Man who Is Wanted to Take the
Money.
= George H. Mcdonald, a carpenter of
Savannah, who has not been fortunate
in going against the world was much
surprised yesterday morning to receive
a newspaper clipping in which it APP
reared that he was badly wanted in the
vicinity of Boston.
The article in point said that Melon
aid had disappeared from his fathers
estate long time ago, and that since
that time a large fortune had been
amassed. The story was not very COM
plete. but Col. r. L. Colding has been
secured as counsel and will make a
thorough investigation. The story, as
given in the Boston Traveller, is as
follows:
fortune of millions and the heir
cannot be found.
This. in substance, is the conditions
surrounding the disposal of an I'M
Ynense estate in Rattle Snake Bar, and
the name of the fortunate man TO
whom this has fallen is George II. Nc
Donald.
But Mcdonald cannot be found, and
Ivarie Small is in town looking up his
wherea bouts. Small has been to Char
lestown and Portland, Me, in the vain
search for Mcdonald. Whether the
latter is dead or not is impossible to
ascertain and Small leaves to-day for
New York to further pursue the
search.
From SmalPs statement it appears
that Rattle Snake Bar was the home
of an uncle and aunt of McDonald's,
both of whom have recently died. leav-
ing the latter the sole heir. Just what
the property consists of Small does
not state but that it is valuable min
ing property is generally supposed to
be the case. The location of Rattle
Snake Bar is also another point that
he fails to disclose.
The whole transaction reads like
the plot of a fevered novel, but realism
IS given to the circumstances owing to
the fact that Small is in earnest over
the matter. and is using the newspa-
per advertising columns for the further
ance of his intentions.
Mr.. Small says:
Il cannot find him (McDonald0 al
though l have been to Portland in the
search. ! heard he was in Charlestown
but l have lost the track. When his
uncle and aunt died they left him a
large fortune out in Rattle Snake Bar
up in the millions. He can be identi-
fed by his mothers record and if he
reads this he can just send a postal
to the Boston Traveller. l hope other
papers win copy"
Mr.. Small will return shortly from
his New York trip and continue the
search.
Mcdonald who is we'll known on the
East Side, in the vicinity of Gas House
Hill, declares that he is the missing heir
and has induced Col Colding to begin
correspondence on the subject. The Sa-
vannah Mcdonald has been up against
1T at times, and has received some
pretty hard knocks during his stay in
Savannah In the event that the for
tune belongs to him, and he secures
possession of it. his step to wealth will
be q long one

JURY SAVED bum"
WASHINGTON'S NECK.
Found Guilty of MnnsIaugter and
Given Is Years.


After a trial devoid of the interest
which usually attaches to the proceed
ings which determine the question of
life or death of a human being, the
jury in the case of Isaac Washington,
alias Bum" returned a verdict of
manslaughter, in the Superior Court
yesterday. Judge Barrow sentenced the
prisoner to fifteen years in the peni-
tertiary.
The crime for which Washington
was tried was the murder of William
Holmes, who was killed in an alter
cation which was precipitated by an
argument over a game of craps. The
homicide occurred in Cleburne street,
on Nov. 16 last.
The evidence was somewhat at vari-
ance on the salient question of justi-
1ication, some witnesses saying that
Holmes attempted to cut Washington.
others saying that he only made a
threatening gesture, and stin others
maintaining that Holmes had no knife.
The hardest proposition which con-
tronted the defense was to explain
now 1t came about that the dead man
was shot through the back. This If
JAILED to properly account for and the
jury, in consequence, brought in a
verdict of manslaughter. The deren-
cant was represented by w. F. Slater
IT is not probable that a new trial will
be asked for.

SAVANNAH WOULD WANT
THE LICENSED WAREHOUSE.
Local Cotton Trade Interested in
Report from New York.

Report from New York.
The local cotton trade is interested
in the report from New York in the
Morning News yesterday that licensed
warehouses are to be established in the
South soon, and outlining the plans I'M
der which they will be licensed.
The licensing of warehouses has been
under consideration by the New York
Cotton Exchange for some time. The
idea is to have the cotton graded GER
tihcated and stored, so that deliveries
may be made in the South the same
as if the cotton were in the New York
warehouses. Once it goes into the liz
seenSed warehouses and is duly certifi-
Gated it becomes deliverable cotton.
One part of the dispatch that inter-
ests the local trade is as to the prob
ability of licensing warehouse at Sa-
vannah, since there is to be one ware
house for Charleston, Augusta and Sa-
vannah. There are a number OF large
desirable warehouses, it is understood
that may be secured here. Further
details of the plans are yet to come,
and the trade awaits with interest fur
Their information as to the exact rules
under which these warehouses will be
run.

TRAVEL TO TYBEE
SHOWS HEAVY INCREASE.

The travel to Tybee this season bids
fair to be, by long odds, the largest
of that of any season since the island
had been recognized as a resort. In
the present month, from June l to Is.
inclusive. 10.507 passengers were taken
to the island, against SIT for the same
period last year. The showing for this
season is the better, as the cold weather
of the early part of the month made
the travel lighter than it would have
been otherwise
The increased travel to Savannah's
popular resort is due in great measure
TO the very strenuous efforts that the
Central of Georgia has inaugurated
this season in advertising it in all parts
OF the South reached by its lines or
connections. The island has been more
thoroughly advertised than ever be-
fore, and this publicity is bringing
good results.

Hurry Shipment.
For the purpose of making final
inspection of the big garbage cars
that are to be used in Savannah Man
ager C. B. Kidder of the Savannah
Electric Company left yesterday for

lie works, at the old crematory site.
will be completed in a few days and
the city will be ready to use the six

The cars have a capacity of 10000
pounds each and a full description Of

COL. QUINN WILL NOT
WAIT ON SOUTHERN.
Answers i'm Savannah River Bridge
Gases Must Be Wade.

AHNS mANl
Unless the Southern Railroad replies
to the communication of Col Quinn,
United States Engineer in charge of
the river and harbor improvement of
the Savannah district relative, to the
time required to install the draws in
the bridges which span the Savannah
river at Augusta, he will forward the
papers to Washington with the recon-
mendation that the time denoted by the
applicants for the installation of the
draws be allowed by the War Depart
ment. This conclusion was reached by
Col. Quinn yesterday
1t Will be remembered that the com
mercial interests of Augusta petitioned
the War Department to have the draws
installed in the four bridges which span
that Savannah river at that city, in or
der that navigation might be extend
ed four miles further up. Several Sa-
Vannah interests will be affected by the
decision of the War Department. The
Savannah Transportation Company is
on of the principal movants in the
case.
When it was intimated that the de-
cision of the department would be fav-
orable to the petition, Col. Quinn wrote
to the attorney representing the appli-
cantS and to the attorney represent
ing the Southern Railroad, asking them
to name the time which, in their esti-
nation, it would take to install the
draws.
To this query the attorney for the
applicants, Mr.. Leonard Phinizy of Au-
gusta, replied that the work, if com
menced at once, should be completed
by Jan. l. next. Col. Cummings, rep
resenting the railroad, acknowledged
the receipt of Col. Quinn's communi-
cation, and replied that he had re-
ferred the matter to the officials of
the road. That was several weeks
ago. No answer has been received yet
from the railroad, and their delay in
answering the question which is so
vital to their interests has induced Col.
Quinn to announce his utimatum.

HITCHING POSTS BACK
ON LIBERTY STREET.
Park and Tree Commission Had
Posts Returned.


The hitching posts moved from Lib
erty street. near the De Soto, by di-
rection of the Park and Tree Commits
sion, have been returned
In a letter to Chairman P. D. Daffin
of the commission the director of pub
lie works asked for the return of the
posts. He informed the chairman of
the commission that the posts were the
property of the streets and lanes de-
partment and had been kept up by
him.
The director also called attention to
the fact that the wire attached to the
posts was the property of Watson &
Powers. The posts had been placed
by the Park and Tree Commission in
Lafayette Square and had been treated
to d coat of light green paint. Still,
there was nothing left to do. under
the circumstances, but pull them up
and fire them back to Liberty street.
This was promptly done, after the
chairman of the Park and Tree Com
mission and the director of public
works had talked the matter over at
the City Exchange. The posts, how
ever, were not put back into the ground
and il is doubtful If they will be. 1t
is probable that new posts will be erect
ed on Liberty street by the streets and
lanes department. and that those re-
turned by the commission will he util-
lied elsewhere
The Park and Tree Commission has
also given the fountain in Chippewa
Square its attention. When it was sug-
gested to the chairman that it might
be well to have the water turned on
in the afternoons this was done. The
fountain in full play has attracted no
little attention, and much favorable
comment has been heard. 1t is likely
that the commission will later have the
fountain painted.

A Boys High school That Makes
Good Men.

A complete education must embrace
the physical, mental and moral ma
ture. To stress any one of these and
neglect the others would be short
sighted. The constant aim of the
Donald Fraser High School Cat Deca-
tur, Ga.), is the development of the
whole boy and his equipment for life's
work, with a healthy body, a sound
mind and strict integrity of purpose.
1t is a safe school for the boy.
Donald Fraser School gives a thor
ough preparation for college or uni
Versity and it's graduates are admit
ted ON certificate to leading colleges.
Its excellent location and pure social
and moral environment make it an
ideal boarding school. The number of
students is limited and each one re-
ceives individual attention.
