City Attorney Reappointed to
Succeed Himself Last
Night, by Council.
MR.. RUSSELL THE UNANIMOUS
CHOICE OF ENTIRE BODY.
Appointment of other City Off
Gals Deferred Until An
other Meeting.

The city council held a regular
meeting last night, the last meet
ing in the old year. Little busl-
ness Of Importance came before
the session and the most import
ant matter, the appointment OF
the new city officers, was de-
ferred until the next meeting.
The bond Of Judge Pendergast
in the sum Of $1,000 with Fred
Malzahn and j. P. Young as
sureties was approved and the
bond of ]. P. Hennessey as con-
stable with Matt Mayer and M.
E. Thurston as sureties in the
sum Of $500 was also approved.
The final report of Judge Skin
vik as justice of the peace pre-
sented and accepted. The coun-
Gil then took up some questions
pertaining to the local board OF
health and these were discussed
for some time. Recorder Bailey
presented the applications filed
for the various appointiye offices
of the city. The number in
Guided the application of w. B.
Carlyle for city engineer, Thos.
Smart, j. P. Henessey and Mr..
Smith for scavenger, an applica-
ton for a position on the police
force and two applications fol
sexton. Recorder Bailey moved
that the appointment of the city
officers be deferred until the
next meeting and the motion was
carried, the sense of the meeting
being that it was we'll to allow
sufficient time for all applications
to be filed and the claims Of all
candidates fairly presented.
The council could not continue
without a city attorney, however.
and this matter was taken up
Mr.. Russell has served the coun=
Gil well and ably, is held in high
esteem by every member, and
his reappointment is a deserved
compliment and will be crafty
ing to his many friends as well.
The prospects at the present
time are that there will be a large
number Of applications for all
the city Offices. The old city ser
wants will all aspire to succeed
themselves, and will naturally be
given the preference.
The council decided to adyer
tise for bids for the public print
ing and the recorder was in
structed to issue the necessary
call. An attempt to railroad the
printing matter through by a
local publisher was discouraged
early in the meeting and did not
appear before the council meet
ing again in the form of any sort
of a proposition. The printing
will be let to the lowest bidder
and there is no disposition on the
part of any member Of the coun-
Gil to SHOW favor in disposing of
contract.

GRANT THATCHER
WILL PITCH HERE
He IS A HIGH CLASS MAN.
OWNER BOYER oUTBID ABNER
POWELL FOR HIM.

Thatcher Pitched for the Los Ange-
les, Cal, Club Last season, the
Team Finishing Second in the
Race for the Pennnnt in the Pnci-
fic National LenRue-With Savidge,
WeIch, Thatcher and Staley, Path
finders should Have Strongest
Pitching Stan in the League.
Owner Boyer yesterday closed a deal
with Grant Thatcher to join the Savan-
nah team, which gives Savannah one
of the most experienced and fastest
pitchers in the league
Thatcher was with the Los Angeles,
Cal, club last year, and won sew
enteen and lost eleven games.
He was signed at the begin
ming of the National League season
by Ned Hanlon, of Brooklyn, but the
large staff of pitchers already signed
by Hanlon gave Thatcher little chance.
Hanlon offered him to Atlanta, but
Manager Powell considered the offer
too high and made return offer some
thing lower. In the meantime Hanlon
wired Mr.. Boyer and terms were fin
ally agreed on yesterday by wire and
tickets were sent to Lancaster. Pa,
where Thatcher is stopping at pres
ent. for himself and wife.
In the event Staley makes good, and
with such proven good ones as WEIGH
and Savidge, the addition of Thatcher
will make the strongest pitching staff
in the league,
Thatcher will reach Savannah to-
morrow, and will probably pitch the
opening game against Columbia on
Thursday. He is in excellent shape,
having been playing with some of the
independent teams through Pennsyl-
vania for the last few weeks.
George Washington Ogle has been
released, but he says he will not go to
Waycross, as he has had enough of
the South. He will probably return to
his home in Washington in a few days.

RUSSIA DOESN'T WANT
ANY MEDIATION NOW.

st. Petersburg, June 20.-An inter-
view with Baron Suyematzu, publish
ed in Paris and suggesting that Japan
is willing to accept the mediation of a
power equally we'll disposed to Russia
and Japan. while regarded as ten
tative utterance, attracts much atten-
ton, coming from the Marquis Ito's
sonin-law. 1t is generally interpreted
as meaning that Japan is shrinking
before the prospect of long, exhaust
ing war.
Government circles do not show the
slightest disposition, however, to re-
lax the officially announced position,
the sentiment being that having been
forced into the war and driven to
make heavy sacrifices, to stop just
now when Russia is prepared to ac-
complish something is quite impossi-
BILE. Diplomatic circles are keenly in
terested, but the opinion is unanimous
ly expressed that it is impossible for
Russia to consent to end the war with
her military prestige impaired. Be
sides, it is pointed out that Baron
Syematzu admits that Japan has not
reduced her demand.

WAR CORRESPONDENT
KILLED IN THE EAST.

New York, June pa cable mes
sage to the World to-day, which was
unsigned, but which the World says
probably was forwarded by the Amer
lean legation at Pekin, announced the
shooting of Col. Edwin Emerson, Jr,
one of the Worlds correspondents in
the East, and conveyed the impression
that he had been killed.
The cable stated it was reported that
Col. Emerson had been shot by re-
treating Russians, who mistook him
for a spy. The special cable to the
World dated Pekin says in part:
There are indications that the Rus
slams have been routed. There is panic
