NO LAUREL WREATH
FOR L0NGSTREET'S GRAVE.
Savannah Daughters of COnfederacy
Refused to Send One.

By an almost unanimous vote the
Savannah Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy at it's
annual meeting yesterday. determined
not to send laurel wreath to Gaines
vile to be placed upon the grave of
Gen. James Longstreet.
1t has been the custom or the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy to send a
laurel wreath when those who fought
for the Confederate States have joined
the silent majority, but in the case
of Gen. Longstreet there will be no
laurel wreath, so far as the Savan-
nah Daughters of the Confederacy are
concerned.
There was some discussion on the
subject before it was decided that a
wreath should not be sent. Just how
far this discussion went, or just what
was said, could not be learned. The
members of the chapter refused to be
drawn into a discussion of the subject
and just what happened at the meet
ing is little more than a matter of con-
lecture.
Mrs. "A. Is. Hull, the president, ask
ed the members of the chapter not to
discuss the subject after the vote had
been taken, and when they were ask
ed if a laurel wreath would be sent
to Gen. LOngstreet's grave, as Gus
tomary, they replied that there would
be none, but volunteered no further in
formation.
1t was admitted that motion was
made to send the usual wreath. and
that after considerable discussion the
motion was overwhelmingly voted
down. 1t was said that the reason
given was that Gen. LongsTeet had
disregarded orders on the field of bat
tie. His life after the cessation of
hostilities was not permitted to figure
in the discussion when the vote was
taken.

BICYCLES IN FLAMES
GAVE FIREMEN A RUN.
Apparatus Made Fast Time Over

apparatus Made Fast Time Over
Ice-COated Streets.
A burning bicycle in the store of
Volpin & Bro, on Broughton and
Montgomery streets, caused the sound
ing of an alarm from box IL, at JEFF
ferson and Broughton streets at 8
O'Clock last night.
Although the streets had a coating
of ice the firemen answered the alarm
promptly, and without mishap. Their
flying trip through the streets was
dangerous and chilly one. The fire
was extinguished before the arrival of
the department. 1t was stated that a
bicycle in front of fire in the store
blazed up and some one in the street
sounded the alarm.
The apparatus at the Central fire
station was summoned to No. 1a9
Abercorn street at noon yesterday, but
the services of the firemen were not
required. Smoke was issuing from the
ceiling between the second and third
floor and was caused by a defective
f1ue. The chimney was cracked and
the firemen tore away the plastering
before they were able to discover what
the trouble was.

GOOD ATTENDANCE AT
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There was a good attendance at the
opening of the public schools yester-
day morning, and in spite of the de-
cidedly inclement weather, nearly all
of the pupils were in their places. The
regular work was taken up in all the
grades, and everything moved off
smoothly. The break in the regular
routine daily work has served only to
give both teachers and children re-
newed animation for their duties.
During the holidays a number of chill
dren moved from one school district
to another, and yesterday attended the
schools in those districts into which
they have moved. The work of trans
fers had been completed during the

commodated this morning.

The Weather in other Cities.

The cold wave which made itself felt
so strongly here is general over the
entire country east of the Rockies. Few
stations which sent reports to the
Weather Bureau recorded temperatures
much above the freezing
point. Boston and Buffalo were
the two coolest stations to
report, each sending in registration of
zero. The following reports were sent
in from other stations:
Charlotte rs degrees; Charleston. rs
degrees; Atlanta, 80 degrees; Augusta,
20 degrees Asheville, % degrees; and
Marquette, 10 degrees. AT every sta
ton high winds were reported varying
greatly in velocity AT Savannah and
Charleston the wind was blowing with
a velocity of fifteen miles an hour.
From that figure the velocities varied
up to thirty miles, the record made at
Hatteras. At 8 o'clock ii was showing
at Wilmington and sleet was falling at
Charleston.
Mr.. H. b. Boyer the local forecaster
stated at 10 o'clock, that mercury
would not fall much lower during the
night. To-day will probably be slightly
warmer than yesterday, and by We'd
nesday mercury will begin getting back
10 points near the normal again.
