Guest Was Literally AppIauded and
officers Were Elected.
An excellent and thoroughly enjoy
able musical programme was render
ed at the annual meeting of the Sa-
vannah Music Club, held last night at
Lawton Memorial.
There were only three persons on the
programme, but each did splendidly.
The singing of Mrs. M Ed. Wilson
was excellent and the number she had
selected was pleasing. The playing of
Mr.. John r. Rebarer was also well re-
ceived and enjoyed by the members.
Because they were on the regular
programme no applauding was permit
ter. The guest, however, Mrs. r. M.
Atwater of Butte, Mont, was liber-
ally applauded and was compelled to
respond to several encores. Her sing
ing was excellent.
Mr.. Adolph Sundheimer declined re-
election as vice president and the fol-
lowing officers were chosen:
President-Mr. T. LLOYD Owens.
Vice President-Mr. w. S. Blum.
Secretary-Mrs. n. ]. Alderman.

GEORGIA REGIMENT HAD
ROUGH SITE FOR CAMP.
Mr.. VI. Ed. Wilson Observed Place
Before and After Haneuvers.


Mr. VI. Ed. Wilson Observed Place
Before and After Ganeuvers.
Among those who had an excellent
opportunity to observe the conditions
around the camp of the Second Geor-
gia at the Manassas maneuvers was
Mr.. NJ. Ed. Wilson, who was there for
the purpose of taking pictures of
points of interest
Not only was Mr.. Wilson a compe-
tent critic by reason Of his profession,
but he was still further qualified by
some fifteen years of military expert
ence to pass on questions of camp life
Il was there before the Georgia
regiment arrived and after it left"
said Mr.. Wilson. Having viewed the
camps of the other troops 1 can truth
fully say the Second Georgia had the
poorest site in the entire camp, both
as to location and condition of
grounds.
The grounds were kept as we'll as
the rest, and considering the short
time the men were there, they left the
camp in as good condition as any, and
much better than some of the regu-
lars camps. l went over the grounds
after the Georgia regiment left, and
II was III GOOD cOndlLlOn, considering
the original shape in which it was as
signed to the boys.
Il fail to see why the Georgia regi-
ment should have been singled out. 1t
was not there long enough to overcome
the natural defects and 1t would be
absurd to have expected it. The men
were on the march most of the time
and there was no opportunity to level
camp sites.
The Georgia regiment was certain
ly given a bad deal, and now it is be-
ing blamed for what was not its
fault"

PLANT ESTATE CONTROLS
RED CYPRESS CO. STOCK.
Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr., Was in
Macon to Attend Conference.

Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr., Was in
Macon to Attend Conference.
Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr., returned
yesterday morning from Macon, where
he went in connection with the Red
Cypress Lumber Company litigation.
He is chairman of committee APP
pointed to consider the proposal of set
tlemen made by the company, looking
towards the withdrawal of its affairs
from the courts.
All of the different interests met in
a spirit of compromise, and as all three
of the concerns involved are in the
hands of receivers, there is a chance
for almost unlimited litigation. 1t is
to avoid this contingency that COM
promises are talked of. Mr.. George
w. Tiedeman, representing the Ger
mania Bank, also attended the con-
ference.
1.-THE Plant estate will not pay over
% per cent. unless the compromise with
the creditors of the cypress company is
made" said Capt. Gordon. eff this is
done, the estate will pay between SO
and 40 per cent, but not so, as news
paper reports have had it recently. The
exact per cent. will depend on the
sums realized from the assets. The
cypress company is largely owned by
the Plant estate. A settlement may be
made and the company taken out of
the hands of a receiver"

SUSTAINED MOTION TO
N0N-SUIT DAMAGE CASE.
Interesting Point of Law Argued
Before Judge Cam.

After hearing evidence d part of
Wednesday afternoon and nearly all of
yesterday in the case of Isaac Riley VS..
Churchill & Co., Judge Cam approved
a non-suit asked for by defendants
counsel in the Superior Court.
Riley was suing for $4,000 damages,
which he claimed to have sustained on
Dec. go 1889, while loading a ship con-
signed to Churchill & Co. His specific
allegations were that he was assigned
to the duty of placing cotton just
below the hatch in a narrow space,
wherein much danger was attached.
Through the negligence or carelessness
of one of the employees of the defend
ants, he claimed he was badly in
jured by cotton being thrown on him
from above
According to evidence adduced by
the dangerous task assigned to him
and also of the inefficiency of his CO.
laborer. who was known to the plain
tiff to be a careless and wreckless man.
With this knowledge. under the law,
the defense claimed the plaintiff could
not proceed against the defendants.
Judge Cam ordered the jury to be
retired and rendered his decision after
hearing arguments by counsel, sustain
ing the motion for non-suit.
The case was first brought in the
City Court, where a non-suit motion
was sustained. 1t was then brought in
the Superior Court.

Brick Work for basement Will ne
Completed Very shortly.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in the building of the Marine Hospi-
tai at York and Abercorn streets. The
brick work for the basement will be
completed within a week. The base
ment extends about five feet above the
ground.
The brick work at the back has been
completed up to the first floor level,
and the footings for porches put in
place. The window and door frames
have been set. The iron for reinforc-
ing the beams and floor construction
has been received.
No delay has been occasioned by any
difficulty in securing labor. In fact,
while other pieces of work have waited
there have been more applicants for
work than could be accommodated,
and Mr. NJ G. Richer, superintendent
of construction for the firm Of Cramp
& Co, has been able to select the best
material. AS the government only re-
quires eight hours work in a day, and
also gives more pay for the smaller
number of hours, the workmen find the
hospital job very agreea BILE

VERDICT FOR ST AFTER Z
SIX YEARS LITIGATION.
Case of Long Standing Finally Set
tied in Superior Court.

After staying on the docket OF the
Superior Court for the last six years
the case of Mary c. Goette VS.. Maxine
Desverges and Frank Cote was heard
yesterday and verdict for the plain
tiff was found in the sum of 81.

stituted trespass proceedings against
the defendants and asked for tempo
rary injunction. The injunction was
granted by the late Judge Falligant.

alleged that the defendants had tres
passed on certain hammocks on Finger
Island, and taken therefrom about fifty
oak trees, valued at 500, and that they
broke locks on a house which she had
there, and otherwise injured her prop
erty After hearing the case the jury

the plaintiff, the costs to be paid by
the defendants.

lily mas NOthlnE TO do win As
sessing the Railroads.
Even though it were true. as charged
in Atlanta. that the railroads are not
paying sufficient taxes in Savannah
Macon and Atlanta, the Board of Tax
Assessors here are powerless.
Mayor Myers stated yesterday if the
railroads are not paying the taxes
which they should it is a matter the
Controller General should attend to.
1t is entirely in his hands, and so far
as Savannah is concerned it has to
take what it is decided by the Con-
troller General is its share.
The railroads make their returns to
Controller Wright and he announces
what Savannah is entitled to from the
roads entering this city. 1t has for a
long time been commended here that Sa-
Vannan should get more out of the
railroads on the ground that the prop
erty in the city limits is more valua-
bic than that in the country, and that
the proprating is not gone about in the

Disregarding the decision of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee not
to put out a candidate for Congress in
the First district. the press dispatches
| announce that David B. Rigdon, post
master at Statesboro, will make the
race against Congressman r. E. Les
ter.
AS told in the columns of the Morn
ing News the Republicans considered
carefully and for some weeks the ad-
visibility of putting out a candidate
to oppose the Democratic nominee, and
after mature elaboration the full COM
mittee concurred in the recommended
ton of the b-committee to the effect
it was inexpedient to have "a Republi-
can candidate this time.
AT the time it was stated no suit
able man could be found who would
make the race, though there were
many Republicans who desired that a
candidate be named.
That so prominent a Republican as
Mr.. Rigdon could have escaped the OBJ
servation of the committee is not to
be believed for an instant. Hence
there is only one explanation for the
change of heart experienced by Mr.
Rigdon.
1t will be remembered that the Hon.
Thomas E. Watson, Populist candi-
date for President, recently addressed
his fellow citizens at Statesboro, and
according to all reports succeeded in
arousing the spirit of SO in a consid-
cradle number of his hearers.
POpulists in the Game
Putting one and one together. it is
evident the activity of the Populists
caused Mr.. Rigdon to feel the race was
worth while, and that his hopes are
based on the combination of the Re-
publican and Populist vote in the dis
trlct, working with Democratic apathy.
In speaking of the announcement, a
leading Republican said last night:
1t is the privilege of an American
citizen to run for Office if he wants
to- The Republicans decided to put
out no candidate, but that, of course.
viii not hinder them from voting for
any one they desire.
Mr.. Rigdon is mighty fine man.
and stands high in the community in
Whlch ne lives. He would make a good
congressman. I cannot answer the
question as to whether he was consid-
cred as an available candidate by the
SUD committee appointed to consider
the list"
Considerable color is lent to the story
OF the combination between the Re-
puollcans by that fact that in
the Macon district, from which the
story comes. the Republicans have nut
OUT no candidates, while the Populists
nave man. The situation is to he
reversed in the First district.
Col. Lester Not ANNOYED.
When notified last night of the can
didacy of Mr. Rigdon, Col Lester was
not at all disturbed.
Il don't know of anything to saw
ABOUT the announcement" said Col
Lester. Il shall not lose any sleep
over abe matter, neither am I fearful
as to the result
In Savannah there are 5,397 ouali-
he'd voters who have registered, with
5,4l6 registrations for the municipal
| election.

Committee of the County Commission
ers will probably to-day name the
