DR.. GILCHRIST, TO
RELIEVE DR.. ST0NEY.

Army Surgeon, with x-Ray Ma
chimes, Assumes Charge of Leper.
DR.. H. S. Gilchrist, first lieutenant
and assistant surgeon, United States
Army, arrived in Savannah yesterday
morning and registered at the De Soto.
In the afternoon he left for Tybee,
where he goes to take charge of the
leper soldier.
DR.. Gilchrist will relieve DIR. Stoney
who, for several months, has been de-
tailed to look after the afflicted man.
Within the next day or two the most
improved X-ray machines that the
government has been able to procure
will be taken to the fort, for the special
use of making experiments. The Fin
sen light, which is something like the
Violet Ray, will also be taken to the
fort.
Dr.. Gilchrist is specially detailed by
the government. 1t is understood that
the case will be made a test to the end
that it may be seen whether the dis
ease is not durable II AS a result or the
scientific investigation, it may even be
that some cure may be discovered. The
new surgeon will be assisted by one or
more stewards, and it is very probable
that some local physicians will be In
vited to aid in the investigation.
The local physicians are unanimous
in the conviction that there is not the
slightest cause for any alarm, because
of the presence of the leper. They say
that the disease is thoroughly corrall-
ed, and that it is folly to entertain a
thought of contagion.
President Egan is convinced that not
withstanding the assurances OF the
medical profession the presence of the
leper win be detrimental to the inter
ests of the Central of Georgia Railroad
He returned yesterday from Washing
ton where he went to present his pro-
test against the retention of the leper
any longer on the island, and 1t is ex-
pected the man will be moved In
short time to some other place.

OFFICERS PLEASED WITH
BURKE LIGHT INFANTRY.
inspecting officers Returned From

Inspecting Officers Returned From
WaynesbOrO Yesterday Morning.
Col G. Arthur Gordon and Mai.
Walter E.. Coney returned from
Waynesboro yesterday morning, where
they went to inspect the Burke Light
Infantry. The inspection. a very
thorough one, was eminently satisfac-
tory. and the officers returned with
only the best report to make of the
condition of the command and the
hospitality of the people of Waynes-
boro.
The command was, up to 1885, at
tached to the Sixth Regiment of In
fantry, the visit being the first made
by any of the officers of the First Reg
iment since it has been attached to
the latter regiment. The visit was in
pursuance to the plans mapped out by
Col. Gordon which contemplate a visit
from the local officers, the Colonel and
the battalion commander, to out Of
town commands at least once a year.
Col Gordon and Maj, Coney were
entertained at the home of Col. Will
lam E. Jones, formerly colonel of the
sixth Regiment of Infantry, and now
en- the retired list. The company was
command of Capt. Floyd B. Scales,
First Lieutenant George A Johnston
and Second Lieutenant Wylie Gres-
ham.
The company put up first-class in
spection, not alone in the manual of
arms but also in the company drill,
which took place on the street in the
afternoon. The event was one of con-
siderable importance, and was Witness
ed by large crowd, which seemed to
take much interest in the showing
made by the company The command
is composed of the best young men in
the community, and Col. Gordon and
Mai Coney expressed it as their opin-
ion that it was one of the best all
around companies in the regiment.
The town of Waynesboro gives 800
a year to the company, and the county
appropriates like amount. The COM
pany is well equipped in the way of
property, which was found to be well
cared for and in first-class condition.
The men evinced great deal of in
terest in the coming encampment, it be-
ing the desire of the company as a
whole to go to Chickamauga, instead
of Griffin.
The company has selected a rife
range on land, the use of which has
been rendered by Maj. w. A. Wilkins,
and as soon as target material arrives
practice will commence. There are
quite a number of good marksmen in
the company, Private E. B. Gresham
winning the individual novice medal at
the Macon shoot last year.

INSPECTOR HANCOCK
INDICATED.
Office of Electrical Inspector Likely
to Cause More Talk.

Office of Electrical Inspector Likely
to Cause More Talk.
1t is likely that there will be further
developments this week in the fight
made on Acting Electrical Inspector
Arthur Hancock, who was charged with
having failed to make proper inspec-
tions, and with discriminating in favor
of a single firm of electrical contrac-
tors.
The acting Inspector has been vindi-
Gated by A. M. Scoen, chief electrician
of the Southeastern Tariff Association,
and this vindication will be brought 10
the attention of the Mayor. Chief
Scoen made a special inspection of the
new Citizens Bank building, where it
was claimed Inspector Hancock had
passed work that was not properly
done, and has furnished certificates
that the work was properly done.
When Fire Chief Mcguire, who holds
the title of electrical inspector, asked
that the office be made separate, he
recommended Hancock, who had been
acting. The fire chief stated that Han
cock was thoroughly competent. Issue
was taken with him by other electrical
workers who charged that the acting
Inspector had Disseminated in many
instances.
Electrician Claiborne had made In
spections before Hancock took charge
of the work, and he may figure in the
matter when it comes up for settlement.
The City Council will have to make the
office of electrical inspector and when
the time arrives for filling the place
there will probably be some interest
Ing developments.
