VETERANS RETURN
FROM GORDON FUNERAL.
"a Most Imposing and Impressive
Sight" Says Judge Twiggs.

"a Most Imposing and Impressive
Sight, Says Judge Twiggs.
With the exception of one or two
who remained in Atlanta to visit
friends. all of the Savannahians who
attended the funeral of Gen. John b.
Gordon returned to the city yesterday
morning.
Col. ]. H Estill and Capt. F.
w. Garden, who represented the
First Regiment, G.. S. T., at the funeral,
are back MFR. Clement Saussy, of
Lafayette McLaws Camp. U. c. ",
and Judge H. H. D. Twiggs have al
so returned. Mr.. L. c. Downes and
Gen. P. A. McGlashan will return
to-day.
Mr.. Harry w. Beckett, who bore the
beautiful emblem of the Francis S.
Barlow Camp, Sons of Veterans, is
back. The Savannah emblem attracted
wide attention among the many other
floral emblems sent from different parts
of the country. Mr.. Beckett had the
wreath in his keeping and says that
1t was admired by many. A descrip-
ton of the beautiful floral tribute sent
by the Sons of Veterans has already
been given in the Morning News.
lie IuIleTdt OF NTen (IOfQOn was one
of the most imposing and impressive
sights that I have ever witnessed"
said Judge Twiggs yesterday. From
the Capitol to the cemetery, the streets
were lined with people, leaving just
sufficient room for the procession to
pass between. At the cemetery we
found the crowd had more than half
filled it before we arrived and there
were thousands who were unable to
enter the cemetery at all.
The procession itself was we'll worth
viewing and was a splendid tribute
to the worth of a noble man. There
were represented United States army
men, Confederate veterans, Federal
veterans, and a large number of pa
triotic societies. One of the most
touching sights of all was the old
veterans from the Soldiers Home, who
too old and feeble to march, had in
sisted on following the corpse of their
loved commander to its last resting
place. These old heroes were drawn
in large wagons.
The funeral was a splendid tribute
and yet too much honor cannot be
paid to the memory of Gen. Gordon.
No nobler, manlier knightlier man
ever graced the pages of history"

CLERK OF COUNCIL
RETURNS FROM CUBA.

Mr.. j. Robert Dreamer, clerk of
Council, has returned from a several
weeks wedding trip to Cuba Yester-
day he was at his desk in the City
Exchange.
Mr.. Dreamer enjoyed his trip very
highly and was exceedingly well pleas
ed with the city of Havana. OF politi-
cal matters he has little to say, but is
of the opinion that it would be poor
policy to annex Cuba to the United
States. Many interesting places were
visited in Havana, including some of
the old cathedrals and some of the
historic prisons

MORE EXITS AND AN
ASBESTOS CURTAIN
VIII Help to Render savannah The
nter Absolutely Safe.

A number of Improvements looking
toward the greater safety of its pa
irons in case of fire are to be made
by the Savannah Theater.
The building has been thoroughly in
spected by Building Inspector Harry
Bartlett, Fire Chief John E. Mcguire,
George Mouro, assistant chief, and w
D. Claiborne, electrical inspector who
made report to the Mayor yesterday.
They recommended certain improve
ments TO which Mr.. w. B. Seeskind,
manager of the theater. who was pres
ent, readily agreed and promised to
secure as soon as possible.
The city officials recommend that an
asbestos curtain be secured, another
fire escape be added to the gallery,
on the Hull street side of the building;
and that two additional exits be ar
ranged leading from the lower floor
There are now two fire escapes to the
gallery and four exits to the lower
floor Back of the stage there has al
ways been kept a supply of hose, water
buckets and water. that could be used
at moments notice should they be
needed.
Because of the isolated position of
the theater an advantage that is en-
joyed by but few play houses in the
country, and the fact that by actual
experiment on two occasions, the house
has been cleared of spectators in three
minutes, Manager Seeskind is salts
fed that even under present conditions
there is absolutely no danger to his
patrons, even should any part of the
theater become ignited, but he never
theless accepted at once all the recon-
mendations made by the commission
that examined the premises.
There are a few minor points yet
to be determined on, and to settle these
the members of the commission will
visit the theater to-day at noon Mr..
Seeskind announced his intention of
complying with the recommendations
at the earliest possible moment He be-
lieves there will be some delay about
getting the asbestos curtain, however,
for the manufacturers of this kind of
stuff have now sufficient orders already
booked to keep them busy for the next
three months.

Merrill P. Galloway of Macon, who
was appointed receiver for the Geor-
gia Car and Manufacturing Company
by Judge Emory Speer Thursday,
reached Savannah yesterday morning
and took charge of affairs.
All the arrangements for the trans
fer of the property into the hands of
the court were made by United States
Marshal John NJ. Barnes, who came
down the night before.
Marshal Barnes went over the
plant at midnight and appoint
ed watchmen, had the insurance poll
cies changed, and took general charge
of the affairs pending the arrival of
the receiver.
The property levied on by the sher-
if of Chatham county has been turn
ed over to the receiver under the or
der from Judge Speer.
This levy was made on bail
trover proceedings in the Su-
perior Court, the Southern Pine
Company claiming that certain lum-
Der which they had shipped to the de-
PENDANT company in bailment had been
used in the construction of certain
cars.
There Was no Clash.
1t looked for a while as if there
would be a clash between the state
and federal authorities, but the higher
court was recognized.
Receiver Galloway has made ar
rangements for the payment of all
salaries due to employees by the COM
pany and the pay rolls will be made
up and all salaries paid to-day, as US
ual.
President and General Manager
Foster has been employed by the re-
ceiver to continue the work that is
in progress at the plant. All con-
tracts under course of being filled will
be completed.
Few savannah Creditors.
The total indebtedness of the COM
pany so far as can be ascertained
now, is SAB SS4, of which only about
$11 900 is borne by Savannah creditors.
The assets of the company are over
5000, 900.
Just what the future of the concern
will be will be decided at a meeting
of the board of directors which will be
held some time soon. For the last two
years no dividends have been paid on
the stock.

NEW PLEA IN 0LIVEROS
CASE WILL BE HEARD

Judge Cam will to-day consider a
plea of former jeopardy, accompanied
by an agreed statement of facts, in
the case against ]. B. Oliveros.
The withdrawal of the case from the
consideration of trial jury is alleged
in the petition to be illegal, the de-
PENDANT thereby being deprived of his
constitutional rights. Further pro-
ceedings, it is claimed, are barred by
this jeopardy. The agreed statement of
facts is the same as contained in the
bill of exceptions filed when the case
was taken to the Supreme Court.

SERIOUS 0FFENSE CHARGED
AGAINST BALTIMORE MAN.
L. f. GasISin, However, Denies That
He Misappropriated $3.50.

He Misappropriated $50.
On a charge of larceny after trust
L. f. Gaskin, a young man who claims
Baltimore as his home. was arrested
last night by Detective Bostick and
landed in the police station on COM
plant of l.. H. Meldrim.
The arrest grew out of transaction
between the two men before Christ
mas. Mr.. Meldrim fitted up an art
store on Broughton street, near Whit
aker street, several weeks ago. Cas-
kin was engaged in selling pictures and
frames for d Northern concern.
The prosecutor alleges that Gaskin
agreed to take orders for him, and that
he made an effort to get out some
frames from the North. Because of
the rush during the holidays, however,
he was unable to get the frames ship
ped. The complainant alleges that
Gaskin said that he was going to Bal
timore for the holidays anyway, and
that he would make the necessary pur-
chase Il il was desired.
Mr.. Meldrim says that he gave the
young man $3.50 with instructions to
buy the frames and ship them imme-
diately. The frames did not put in an
appearance, and he heard nothing from
Gaskin. The prosecutor says that Gas
kin returned to the city two or three
weeks ago, and stated that he had
given the order for the frames, and
that they would arrive In short
while.
Several days ago Mr.. Meldrim became
suspicious and wrote the firm from
whom Gaskin said he had purchased
the frames When the Savannah man
received no reply to his letter he tele-
graphed and yesterday received mes
sage that no such purchase had been
made. The complaint to the police
was made and the arrest by Detective
Bostick followed. Gaskin denies any
wrOngdoing, and will be given pre-
liminary examination in Police Court
this morning
