HUSSARS DbILLKOR PRIZES.
Private E. k*. Gilbert Wins the Com
pany Medal— ihe Clas3 Prizeß.
The prize saber drill of the Georgia
Hussars took place last night at Masonic
ball. The feature of the drill was the win
ning of tbe company medal by Private
Eugene Lb Gil ert
Forty unir rmed members entered the
cot;te>! for the class prizes, un i were in
ti; ected by Capt. Cordon. Tbev were
divided into three classes. In tbe fi st
class were four contestants, in the second
twenty, ad in the tbird clas* live.
The drill commenced with tho second class.
Lieut*. MeSdrira, Pritchard and Gdllard
drilled the men. TANARUS: e drilling was rigid a id
the men did remarkably well. The ap
plause wa§ ui roarious when, after every
other man had retired, Private William
Hunter was left alone on the floor, the
winner of the contest.
The third class of five men was drilled
next. Guidon Bearer Frauk 31) ers won the
first, prize.
The first class of four men was then
drilled. For fifteen minutes the drilling
•was faultless, and not an interruption oc
curred. Tbe contestants were looked upon
the best drilled men in the company, and
it was expected that they would ably acquit
tbeosselvea, and tbe anticipations were not
unfounded. After a spirited contest the
prize was won by Sergt. Thomas Hunter.
After tbe class drills c&mc the drill open
to all competitors for the company medal.
Twenty members took part in the contest.
They were the pifck of the company ami toe
drill was intensely interesting. Notwith
standing the rigid order of drilling which
was adopted by the lieutenauts the men
acquitted themselves well and seemed loth
tokiropottt. Tuere was a tremendous rou <1
of applause when Private Eugene L. Gilbert
won the medal.
This closed the contest, and Capt. Gordon
distributed the p izes in neat aud appro
priate speeches.
Iu the first class, Sergt. Thomas Hunter
won tbe prise of $25.
Ift the Mjund class, tho first prize of $2O
was won bv Private William Hunter; sec
ond prize, $l5, was by Quartermaster Ser
feant W. Duncan Johnston; third priz\
10, won by Private Fre l Myers; fourth
prize, $5, won b/ Private E. L. Gilbert.
In tee third class, tbe first priz* < f $l5
was won by Guidon Bearer Frank M era.
W. W. Cbi-hoim, D. B. Morgan and H. C.
Davis tied for tbe second prize of $lO, but
as the hour for dancing bad arrived, riey
donated tbe amount to the armory fund.
Prof. Leon's orchestra was in attendance
and dancing began at 10 o’clock and con
tinued until 11 o’clock, with an interval at
31 o’clock for ref re hments. Mrs. W. W.
Gordon managed the entertainment part
of the programme admirably. She is an
indefatigable worker in the interest of the
Hussars. The entertainment, uoon the
whole, was ono of the most e joyable that
the company has given in a long time.
At any men i >n of the contemplated Hus
sar* armory the members gave vent to ti.eir
enthusiasm by lieariy cheers. Cant. Go
don said that the men are full of enhu
siasin and the best efforts of tie compiny
will be nut forth to carry out its aims in
that direction. An armory is necessary to
the company’s existence, an 1 it is gomg to
have it. The Hussars are the only com an v
in Savannah that is without a home, and
the company has about }&,00l) now available
for a building fund, and i.y nex. season
Capt. Gordon hopes to have the fund sup
plemented by at least double that amo jut.
Tbe Hussars waut $20,000, if there is a pos
sibility ot raising it, and one of the officer*
said last night that they are g ing to devote
their whole time and energy toward raising
that aiuuunt. A meeting will be i eld
Tuesday night, when the matter will be
thoroughly di&cas td. It is proposed tha
duwng the winter the company hold a
bazar. At tho meeting Tuesday night
committees will probably be app Anted to
take the matter in haud. Ot ir enter
tainments will be give.i from time to time
between new and winter, out ot which the
Hussars hope to realiz- something for the
fund. The company has now between 112
and 115 active memb rs with a total me -
bers.ap of üboui IDO. and applicjiti ms for
membership are beiug received at every
meeting.

THE CITY’S FIRE APPARATUS.
Tho Recent Hose Purchase—Whet the
Fire Committee is Doing.
Tbe file committee of council has not yet
let its contract for the heaters, nor for a
hose car/, but it will probably do so during
this week.
An effort having been made to sell the
city a brand of hose at 80 cents per foo ,
tbe committee explains why it would not
answer tho purpose. The hose purchased is
the Maites • cross brand, and weighs only
about fifty-five pounds to the section, while
the 80-cent hose weighs about seventy-live
pounds. The Maltese cross hose has been
tri and here, the c inmi tee says, for .wars,
amt does not rot ns readily as the cheaper
brand. The city does not carry duplicate
hose, and, therefore, it is often com
pelled to reel up hose out
of the mud and water and has no
facilities to wash and dry it in time to have
it ready in case of an emergency. As this
hose ha* an outer and inner circle of vulcan
ized rubb r protecting the *oven texture
from the watei, mud and fire, ami
standing a pressure of 400 pounds it, has
been found to be the m> st economical iu the
end.
A group of gentlemen, discussing fire de
partment affairs yes’erdav, agreed that the
city lias ( utjrown the faeditios of the pres
ent waterworks, and especially so in t e
southern part f tho city, which is still
growing rapidly, and it was said
that Home of the older mains
cannot stand a heavy pre-tsuie
aid especially some of tbe -mailer mans,
if heavy pressure were applied, would give
a a ay. Jh m thougnt that the new water
works, wh.cli tue ci y must provide at no
distant day, will have to be so arranged as
to give a hydraulic pressure that tbe
present water works system does not afford,
i.n i which was one of the causes of com
plaint by the underwriters alter the disas
trous fire early in the month.
Complaint is made that the paid fire de
partment ii too small, and at one of the
tires the p:ist week there were not enough
pud firemen to put up a ladder. The driver
of the engine, the engineer, the fireman,
tbe driver of the hose cart and the
foreman, and the chief of the department
responded—just six, and eleven men were
leq aired t put up the ladder.
i hero are two other additions to tbe ap
paratus that the firemen want — he aerial
ladder truck, i y which it is claimed ten
men can rsis“ a ladder to the bight of tbe
highest building in six sscouds, and a
chemical engine. The latter wji aat
about $2,500, but at is not expected that tue
city will fed justified iu expending the
money this year lor the chemical engine,
but tpe fire committee has uot given up the
aerial truck yet, which tiie committee says,
w.th he pie >e it limited force of firemen,
is much needed.
BTABB 2D WITH A MEAT KNIFE.
A Grocery Cleric’s Sln-hlng Setto With
a Colored Customer.
Lewis Ashby, a clerk in R. T. Barbour’s
grocery store, at Fi ice and Hall st- eeU,
was arrested yesterday for stabbing a
colored woman, Ellen Himmons, with a

quarrel over a loaf of bread. T e Simmons
woman claimed thut Ashby gave her a
sol* 1 af <f bread which aha returned
and demanded a good lo f. The bread was
given her, but a quarrel ensued between
the worn m and Ashby, in the course of
which Ashbv threw a scale weight at tbe
woman’s head and then jumped at her with
a Knife aud stnbi>ed her several
limes in the fuce. Tue woman
grappled with Ashby, and taking the knife
from him si ibhod bun in the baud. Ashby
was arre ted, aud warruuts were sworn our

j Tbe Drowning of Mark W. Parker a
Mystery Not Yet Explained.
Tbe drowning of Mark W. Parker, tbe
i Contra! railroad brakemazi, is still shrowded
in mystery. None of tho Contral railroad
employes with whom Parker was intimately
acquainted credit tbe story that Parker
suicided. Tne dead man's trunk* whioh re
mained locked in his room at Conductor
Beviil’s bouse on Stone street were opened
yesterday bv O. C. Parker, brother f the
deceased, who came dow i to Savannah to
take his brother's possessions back to
Wadley, his naoher’s home. Noth
ing was found, however, which
threw any Ugh! on the death.
There were no letters except one or
two, old with age, from a young lady at
Lau ens, H. C., to whom he wa tt at on*
time engaged, and for whom he bought the
diamond nog that he wore when drowned.
It wa* thought possibly that the money that,
he exhibited to some of the railroad
•mployes on the day before bis death would
be foo id in the trunk*, but it wa not.
Mr. O. C. Parker said that be is confident
that his brother had been f *ulJy dealt with.
He had often beard him say that suicide b and
horror* for biin and that it wa* cer ain that
be would never kill himself. Parker had
been discharged from the Savannah and
Western railroad as conductor, but he lost
little time iu securing a place in Savannah
as hrakemau, which paid him within sls of
what he g t with tho Savannah and Western
as conductor.
Conduc or Bevill said that Parker had
not developed any marked regret a his dis
charge,ana went about his work ax brakoman
with bis usual degree of jollity. Mr Bevill
added that Parker did scorn ■* little rm-lan
choly wheu he oiin* in from the long run of
four or five days, a week ago, but he ban no
doubt that it wax due t<> the fatigue of the
trip. He said that Parker always bad
money, and he carried it in a pocket-book
in his inside coat pocket, besides carrying
connideru ble chang *.
Hrakeman Bounties said that Parker bad
only a few and dlars in his pock t out at
Thunderbolt Weinesday a ternoon, but he
did not know what he had in the pocket
book. The pvckdtMonk ''as not found on
Parker when be waa picked up Sunday
morning by Watch nan B rues of the Tyler
prean. It is supposed to ha vs co:,t .ined at
least S2OO.
Conductor Bevill believet that Parker got
into a drunks i crowd and was led down to
the river, drugg<*d and thrown in tbe river.
He says that if such is the case the watch
a>d ring wore loftoi his person to mislead
persous, and beddw the watch had a largo
monogram of Parker’s and would be a clew
to a thi f if he reinai sd in Savannah.
O. C. Parker carried >niy tbe trunk back
to Wadley. Coroner Dixon required a re
ceipt from each one of the decease i /nun’s
family before he w< -uld turn over the w atca
aid ring and such other things as were
found on tbe body when it wa* found and
turned over to Coroner Dixon.
DIGGING OUT THE BABEMENT6.
Activity In the Burned District Pre
paratory to i.ebuilding.
The week just dosed has been a busy one
with the builders. Tbe work of excavating
for the new court bouse was vigorously
pushed, and there now appears to be no
doub* that it wili bo ready for the contrac
toi 8 on time.
A force of men has been working in the
basement of the Guards arsenal, and neirly
all of the debris a* bee.i removed. It has
bee i hard work, a* some of the debris was
very heavy an i difficult to get out.
A force of men ha* been clearing out the
Uaniey building basement, but the work
as been even more tedinus than ii the ar
son il basunent, owing to the greater
variety of half burned material and deep
w heeling. Another w *ek will s, ? e tho Ila.i
loy ba .o neat clear. M*n were employed
on the Brough ton street ruins during the
w oek also.
Workmen were engaged vaster lay in de

laid from the pillar* to tho main walls for
greater safety in case of danger.
The now wuli*of the Luf urrowbuildings
it tho i orthwest comer of Wbiiak r and

This demand nas brought couutrr teams into

BOGUS COIN TOO PLENTY.
Nimble Counterfeiters at Work But
They Make it Poorly.
John Warring, a colored sbopkeoper,
was committed to jail yesterday afternoon
by United States Commissioner Frank La
mar, in default of SSOO, ou tbe charge of
passing counterfeit money.
A preliminary examination of some
length was held and quite a number of wit
nesses were called. United States District
Attorney Marion E*win pro*ecuted the
case for the governn ent and W. E. Morri
son represented ibo defense.
It was stated that on the night of April
13 Warring boarded a Belt Line car and
passed a counterfeit silver dollar on tho
conductor, W. T. Baggs. tbe latter identi
fving Warring a- the man who had banded
him the spuric us coin.
Au attempt wa* made to counterfeit
mo.;ey on E. H. Shaves, B. L. Tulli.s and
George Myers, all stn*et ear conductors,
wbo charge Warn g with being the party
tendering tbo com, ot one dollar denomina
tion.
The manner in which a clow was obtained
ugaiust Warring mint Lave been doublv
annoying to him. Warrii g lofr a colored
boy to watch his shop nod tbe lad, in Pipping
the till, found two silver dollars and one
wa* a counterfeit. Atrai 1 to \ asi it him
self he consulted with another col *r 1 lad,
telling where begot it, and the c mveraa
tlon being overheard it came to the ears of
the officers, and Warring and tne i w boys,
Louis Bowman and Solomon Spencer, were
arrested.
District Attorney Erwin suggested to
Commissioner Lamar to !e r the boys go on
their r cognizance and t heir parents’ bnnd -
u.itil next Wed ties lay a 4 o’clock p. m., by
which ti ne lie will decide whether to prose
cute t ein, with a view of sending the u to
a reformatory, as they are not more than
10 ■ r 12 years of ago.
Warring’s brother is in custody at Macon
on u charge of passing counterfeit money,
and District Attorney Erwin says that
a ben arrested the prisoner had on bis person
co.ifldeu ial circulars from purported agents
of counterfeiters.
There is a gr at deal of this spurious coin
in circulation in Savannah, but the counter
feit is so base that it ought uot to deceive
anyone. The cou iterfeit silver dollar is
lighter than tin silver dollar, is rougher,
and, wherever the quicksilver is worn off,
the counteifeit coin is as dingy as lead,
i hey are evidently rn.de in the crudest
kind of ordinary plaster moll, wuich pre
serves the general outline of the coin, but
they l'icic smoothness and finish. The rough
work is ooucealed and t e counterfeit eiven
a prose itab e appearance by applying a
little quicKsdver to the surface.*, but this,
however, soon wen s ff.
Coun erfeit quarter* and half dollars are
also in circulation, and (John mis doner La
mar has quite a collect.o i of tho spurious
coin brought in by vdims. It is rarely
that Americans are deceived by the bie
metal, tho greatest number of complaints
coming from foreigners who keep fruit
sta d*, CM amen and colored people. The
counterfeits are usually passed upon col
ored meu under tho influence of liquor, and
colored bo3’s of 14 year*, a .and uuder are use i
to adva itage where possible.
Au in tance was reported not 1 >ng since
where a colored boy gr bbed from a colored
aiAH a silver dollar, au l when caught, uot
having tried to ge out of the way, explained
that it *vns a joke and begged ff after re
turning the man a dollar which proved t>
be a counterfeit. The boy then took to his
heels os soon as he turned tho market house
corner.
On Friday Fred Ruckles, who keeps a fruit
stand on Jefferson street, had oue of these
spurious dollars passed on him, and a* his
entire receipts for the day wore but 81 50,
the poor fellow was considerably more fled
to learn that two-thirds of that was worth
ItSS.
Several arrests have boon made from
time to time, but thus far none of he outfit
for making tue spurious mjuey Ims been
discovered.

Memorial Day's Qbsrvanco at Guyton

Nature never smiled more beautifully
than on the afternoon of Memorial day at
Guyton. Between 3 and 4 o’clock
in the afternoon a large con
course of people wended its way to the
Guyton cemetery and assembled around
the graves of the unknown confederate
dead, seemingly impressed with the solem
nity of the • ocas ion and laden with garlands,
emblems aud choice fl wers, with winch to
deck the of graves the heroes. The exer
cises were opened with an impres ive and
appropriate prayer by Rw. J. M. Lovett,

occasion Rev. H. S. Wingsrd. Rev. M .

and appropriateue>s, could hardly have
been excelled. He spoke with all the feel

and aw irorn ne who shared with the dead
ina iy of the hardships aud fluff jriugs inci

unless the owner would conseot to make a

that the charges at the Jenks bridge for

The Old Homestead.
The first number of this magazine will
appear about May 10. It will • e one of the
best publications in the country. Devoted
to literature, art, science, music, tho home
and, tbe farm, it will be the purposes of its
publishers and propriot rs to make if fill its
sphere and mission in a dignified, able ami
acceptablemamer. The first nu r.ber will
contain the initial chapters of H. Rider
Haggard’s SB,OOO story, aud “Bentley’s
Bride.” a novel by Weigand, a noted
writer. There will i.e a complete aid cor
rect sketch of the Indo{>enuent Presbyte
ria i church from its original grant by
King George to the present, with elegant
engravings of the edifice, before and af er
its des ruction. A touchingly beautiful
p em, suggested by tho falling bed in the
old c urc i tower, and written for The Old
Homestead by a talented southern lady,
will appear iu this number. It will also
contain editorial notes, b me and farm
dots, brevities, a puzzle department, seven
pages of choic j m isic and a i.st of valuable
premiums to agents. The advertising feat
ures will bi*ar testimony to the appreci -
tioa the bu i.iess community entertain for
a medium like The Old Homestead. Is
typical and distinctive sou .hern character
ill be noticed ia the Ju .e number, when
stories, sketches, poems and esays by * ril
liint southern writers will appear. The
history of the Independent Presbyterian
church occupied so much space tnat the
pu iication <>f these coatrib itio.is were uu
avoid bly deferred. The subscriptions to
lhe Old Homestead are coning by the
hundreds every d-iy, and probably no mag
azine in tnecMU iuy has had suc.i a i auspi
cious beginning and *ucha hopeful outloo .
It only costs 50 cents a year an i ito varied
literary, artistic, musical and domestic
featu: es will make it an indispensable ne
cessity in every hou ehold. Now is the
time to subs riue for The Old Homestead
and obtain o ie of the besf publications in
the country for the nominal sum of 5U
cents.

WORLDLY WISDOM.
As Exemplified by the Knowing Ones.
“It is astonishing how much wisdom is
stored away ia the different departments of
fife which is lost to the world,” said an ob-
gentleman a few days ago.
“I have been watching t e course of
events in tins city for some years. 1 nave
stood aiooi a id prophesied that some day
too people Would awake i to the face that
there was a great futureiu Store for us,and
tb it we possessed ah of the el‘merits of a
great c.ty. Now that this is happening,
aud our people are realizing t .at ci.y and
suburban property promises better returns
than any other kind of investments, it is
amusing, and yel provoking, i.i tne face
of ac.ual result', to le obliged to listen to
tne c onciusions of the wi eacres. ”
“One man tays: M’s ail a boom, gotten
up by a ring.’
“Another says: ‘Ob! I have ju3t
such things before.’
“8 ill another says:‘We have no factories
and there’s not iug to predicate it upon.*
“Tnus they administer cold comfort to
each ther, wait for the ebb t.do, which fails
to ebb, pass their days in croaking, and
finally are lost m the uulivion of uusuccess
ful IVOS.
“Having studied closely our futu-e pros
pects, having investigated our surround
ings, I have comu deliberate! t to tne cou
clu iou that there is uo southern seaport
city wbosu prospects p nnt so - ertaluly to a
i right future as do those of our beautiful
