The Guards and the Btay-at-Homes of the Regiment Receive the Return ing Troops With Eclat—The Escort from the Depot to the Regimental Armory and the Company Colla tions The Companies Delighted With Their Week In Camp, and Carry Off the Honors. The Savannah soldiery is at home again from Augusta. The Georgia Hussars re turned on the fast mail yesterday morning, accompanied by the cavalry companies from Brunswick and Liberty county. The Hussars made no clamor over their return, and the other companies hurried through by the first train. The return of the First regiment was the occasion of a demonstration on the part of their comrades and friends. It was an nounced that the regiment would arrive on the afternoon train at 0:30, and half an hour before that time the Central passenger depot was crowded. At 6:20 the stay-at homes of the regiment arrived at the depot in company squads, forming a battalion, preceded by the regimental band. Adjt. Galllard was in command. Following came the Savannah Volunteer Guards battalion in two companies. Lieut. Col. Garrard in wommand, with Capts. Keilly and William son. The detachment marched into the depot and formed in lino on the south side. ARRIVAL OF THE MILITARY TRAIN. It was 7:30 o’clock when the special mili tary train arrived, with nine coaches, hav ing left Augusta at d:10 o’clock. As the train rolled in, the military awaiting it marched out and was drawn up on the south side of Liberty street, facing north. The returning soldiers disembarked amid the cheers and congratulations of their friends, and confusion reigned for awhile. The companies formed in order and the regiment marched out, preceded by the band, and up Liberty street past the line waiting to receive them, and took a position on the south side of the street. Wheeling into column Adjutant Gaiilard’s battalion and the Guards marched past mid headed the col umn. The regiment fell in behind and the march for the armory was taken up. The street was thronged with people. It was a pretty sight, the long line of men march ing with steady tread and the bayonets glancing in the electric light. At the armory the regiment marched into thedriil ground, while the Guards marched back to their own armory. The regiment formod in line in the drill ground and was dismissed by CoL Keilly to the company commanders. WELCOMED WITH CHEERS. The stay-at-home squads marched into the armory first to welcome the companies to their respective quarters. It was a royal welcome. There were rounds of cheers for everybody, for the boys were enthu siastic. Doubly so, because of their success at the encampment and their joy at returning home. A oollation was served to each company in its quarters, and there was plenty both to quench thirst and to relieve hunger. The boys spoke enthusiastically of the encampment, of its pleasures and duties, and have an endless round of jokes to tell their friends on the greenhorns from the other end of the state. It is unnecessary to say anything further of the Savannah military. It was given up that they were superior to anything in the encampment for drill and equipment. The United States army officers wero de lighted with them. Lieut. Terrett said the Savannah Cadets rank among the best volunteer organiza tions of the whole country. The encampment was virtually ended Friday night. Yesterday morning camp was broken and all the companies made ready for their departure. Passenger Agent Shaw had the long special of the military in charge and managed it to everybody’s satisfaction. The Thomasville Guards and the Valdosta Videttes came in on the same train with the Savannah troops. The Guards wont on through, but the Videttes remained and were entertained by Mrs. Berrien at her home, No 172 South Broad street. YESTERDAY MORNING’S FIBS. The Laundry Firm’s Losses—To Re build at Once. A number of bands were at work yester day clearing away the debris of the burnt warehouse at the corner of Hay and Hous ton streets. The walls of the upper story have fallen out, covering the sidewalk and filling up the lane. The shoe shop of M. Buouasa, on the east side of the warehouse, was crushed in by the falling walls. Buouasa lost about $35 worth of tools and material. The building is owned by Miss Johnny Lacy, and the loss was covered by an insur ance of S3OO. The telephone wires were torn down by the falling walls during the fire, but were replaced yesterday. Mather & Batten, proprietors of the Em pire Steam Laundry, say their total loss is nearly $5,000, with an insurance of $2,000. There was about SI,OOO worth of laundered clothes burned, which the owners will not lose, as thoy will be remunerated by the laundry company at reasonable rates. The books of the firm, fortunately, were at the Broughton street office, and the records will show the number of pieces be longing to each patron. The company does not propose to pay any fancy bills, how ever. # One young man was at the laundry office yesterday morning and demanded $8 for his washing, which he supposed had been burned. His bundle was safe in the office and the charges on it wore just 40 cents. Mather & Batten moved into the build ing six weeks ago with a ten years lease. They have ordered new machinery. Unless they can seoure a building suitable to their purposes immediately, they will build on the corner of Bay and Lumber streets. The burned building was the property of Mrs. Douglas, and was valued at $5,000, nearly covered by insurance. The Alarms of the Week.

Supervisor Bockett Will Keep the Census Lists Open This Week. Supervisor Beckett expected to have cqjppleted the census of Savannah by last night, but it will require several days longer to finish up the work, and go over some of the districts. Mr. Beckett was asked last night how the work is progressing. “The enumerators," he said, “I have found, with one or two exceptions, to be competent men. I do not doubt that a good many people have been missed, but the ag sregate5 regate is insignificant. Stragglers are eing driven in daily—one family of eight persons, which left town after June 1, but two days before the enumerator reached their residence, was handed in to-day. The Morning News has rendered very valuable assistance to me in that respect, as many who were lodgers over stores and offices on the Bay were induced to Bend for enumeration lists, which I promptly fur nished. “Are you receiving any complaints from people whom the enumerators have missed f” “Several complaints have been made to me of failure on the part of the enumera tors to call at certain houses. I investigated every such case, but with hardly an excep tion f found that the enumerators had done their duty as far as possible. For example, one gentleman who entered a complaint frankly acknowledged that his family had removed from the city two weeks before the work began, and when the enumerator made his rounds there was not a single soul in the house except a servant whose name appeared upon the list.” “I earnestly desire that the work shall be well done, and to that end will keep the schedules as long as possible in order that the stragglers may be gathered in, and will feel grateful for any aid the citizens may give me in securing a complete count. The census authorities are anxious to procure a thorough enumeration, and any labor re quired of me personally to accomplish that purpose will not be grudgingly rendered.” “When will the result of the count be known?” “That will depend upon the superintend ent. No doubt too sanguine people will be disappointed at the rosult, but it must bo remembered that the census of 1880 gave the city a population of about 80,700. Is there any just reason to expect an increase of over 80 to 40 per cent, during the decade? Where are the new dwellings to justify the belief of a greater Increase than that? The section south of Lovers lano has been built up duriug the last ton years, but all this is out side the city limits.” “How about the country enumeration?” “Tho country enumerators have had a bard time of it. At least a dozen have been prostrated by tho heat and sickness engen dered by traveling in the hot sun. In some imtances new men had to be appointed, but those who were physically able resumed their work and seem anxious to push it to completion." THE FORDS’ FIRST PLAY. The Summer Season to Open With “Julius Cgesar” and “Our Boys.’’ The Fords will give their opening per formance of the season Thursday night at the theater. A double bill will be given, a icene from “Julius Caesar” and “Our Boy a" Two of the association’s professional peo ple, Mr. Otis Harlan, the original of “Razzle Dazzle,” and for the last three years with Hoyt & Thomas in their suc cessful plays, “The Texas Steer,” "Hole in the Ground” and “The Brass Monkey,” ami Mr. W.

Yesterday’s rain was a welcome visitor. The forenoon was hot and sultry, but the thunder-storm in the afternoon reduced the tomperature. A dark cloud came up in the west early in the afternoon, which grew blacker and blacker until at 3 o’clock it was dark as at dusk. The rain poured down in torrents, accompanied by flashes of lightning aDd heavy thunder. To the timid the clouds had an ominously cyclonic appearance. The storm was of the variety such as usually follows very sultry spells. Some of the flashes of lightning were very vivid, but no harm was done. After half an hour’s steady downpour the rain changed to a slow drizzle, which continued until night. The difference in the temperature in the morniug and the afternoon was very perceptible. The maximum temperature was 90° and the minimum 71*. The mean, 80°, was exactly normal. Savanuah was the coolest point in the Sa vannah district except Thomasviile, where the maximum temperature was only 88”, and Bainbndge, where it was only 84°. Millen registered 96’ and Eastman 08°. The other southern cities enjoyed their usual hot weather. Hot, sultry weather and thunder-storms naturally go together anl wore storms may tie expected.

The Inspectors’ Investigation Com pleted Yesterday. The testimony before the Unitod States inspectors of hulls and boilers in tho Cres cent City and Bt. Augustine drawbridge case was concluded yesterday by the testi mony of J. H. Elton, one of the excursion ists on the boat at the time that Capt. Murray attempted to force open the draw bridge. Mr. Elton’s testimony wus very satisfactory to the management of the Sa vannah and Atlantic Railway Company, ns it did not corroborate the testimony of the officers of toe Crescent City on material points. The officers of the boat were cross-ques tioned very closely on their published inter view in the Morning News, which was put in evidence by the railroad company. Iu the cross-examination the Crescent City officers sought to convey the idea that they told the reporter anything to get rid of him, and they said as muon. The facts are that on the day following the collision a Morning News reporter went aboard the Crescent City at her moor ings, and inquired for the captain, who was absent, and the pilot was rather anxious to give his statement, which was taken, but before leaving the reporter told the pilot that if the captain desired to give his version of the case to call at the reportorial rooms at 8 o’clock that night. Before the hour the captain and pilot were on hand. The captaiu re quested the reporter to go over his notes of the interview with the pilot, which was done. Some changes were suggested, and the captain volunteered the statement which was pubUshod the following morn ing. MRS. ISABELLA HARDEE;DEAD. A Venerable Woman Quietly Passes Away to Her Final Rest.

It was a full grown melon fastened between the arms of a pine tree root and tightly clasped by the wood. The melon vine had evidently grown over the pine knot, and the fruit had developed between the arms. Thotcuriositv was in a carload of melons from Valdosta consigned to Lamar Keller, and was sent to the Morn ing News by Mr. A. B. Brooks of the Sa. vannah, Florida and Western railway.

BIDDING FOR MONOPOLY. THE ENTERPRISE RAILWAY AFTER AN EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE. Tha Council Asked to Sell the Com pany the Sole Right to Operate Electric Cars and Vehicles in Savan nah-Talk of Setting a Price on the Electric Franchise for All Roads Until the Overhead Wire System Is Done Away With—The New Subur ban Line. Close upon the application of the three lines of street railway in Savannah for the right to operate the roads with electric motive power the Enterprise Street Railway Company, which is not yet in operation, but which has obtained a charter, has ad dressed a letter to the mayor and aldermen asking the city to name a figure at which it will grant the exclusive privilege to operate street cars and other vehicles by electrical power. The company is represented by men of means who, it is understood, are willing to pay a round price for the privi lege, and one of them said yesterday that within two days after the city names a figure, if it is within the limits of reason, the cash will be forthcoming. The new company asks the right referred to where it does not conflict with auy other charter or right already granted. It appears that this proposition will have a tendency to introduce anew feature into the consideration of the petitions already before the council, and a Morning News reporter was reliably informed yesterday that when the petitions come to be acted upon in council there will be an effort made to fix a price on tax which the street rail roads will be required to pay the city as long as the overhead system of wires is used, with the provision that whenever they abandon it for wbat is considered a less dangerous system, then the council may re lease the roads from any further payment of the tax. NOT LIKELY TO BE GRANTED. It is not believed that the city council will fix any price for the exclusive right to use electricity as a motive power for vehi cles, but that with proper restrictions all the street railroads now in operation, or that may hereafter be put in operation, will be put ou the same footing. It is not unlikely that there will be some interesting developments in street railroad matters at the regular meeting of council which, under the resolution of Alderman Nichols,trill beheld at 4 o’clock, Wednesday afternoon. It is thought that the Savannah, Vernon and Rosedew Railroad Company may ask for some franchises. There is to be a meet ing of its stockholders to-morrow or next day, at which the situation is to be can vassed. The incorporators of the company are Dr. L. A. Falligant, CoL J. H. Estill, Lester Hubbell and Wm. S. Rockwell. It has a capital stock of $50,000, with privilege to inorease the samo, and the charter is said to be a liberal one. One of the proposed lines of the road is out Abereorn street extended, by an air line to White Bluff and thence to llosedew, crossing Vernon river at Good Hope, above navigation, and where the river is said to be only forty to fifty feet wide. After crossing the river, the road will skirt along Bellevue and Lavender to Mont gomery and Bethesda. Another line is being discussed, which, leaving the city by Abereorn street ex tended and crossing the river at White Bluff at a place known as Henderson’s Point, will follow a causeway to be built across the marsh to Newell highlands, by a short cut line to Montgomery. TO OROANIZE THIS WEEK. It is said that the company is to be or ganized this week, and subscriptions to the stock will be solicited. Stock subscriptions have been offered recently and rights of way have been freely proffered. One of the incorporators informed a Morning News reporter yesterday that several of the laud syndicates which own large bodies of land between Savannah and White Bluff have signified their desire to be interested, and two syndicates have offered to build the road without any expense to the company. It is probable that the company will want to come down town with its road, belting at least two or more of the streets, and that tho line in the city and suburbs will be operated by electrical power. It is thought the Nashville syndicate has not yet given up the deal with Mr. Parsons, and that negotiations are still pending in New York for the purchase of the City and Suburban line.

The suits were for false imprisonment Frank Screven (colored) obtained a verdict for $l5B damages, and In this case the Ocean Steamship Comoany moved for anew trial. In the case of Washington Joiner the ver dict was for defendant, and Joiner seeks to have anew trial granted.

There are three damage suits assigned for trial in the city court this week ana two in the superior court in which the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company are defendants. A motiou was filed in the city court yesterday by the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company for anew trial in the McNally case. It has already been tried three times. In the first instance it resulted in a mistrial; a verdict for plaintiff fdr $9,000 at the second trial add a SIO,OOO verdict at tho last trial.

The justice was kept bu<jf issuing warrants all day. Most of the par ties were colored. Jas.’ Halßert and Wm. Roberson had a quarrel and Halpert had Roberson arrested on a good behavior war rant. Roberson gave bond. John Row land (colored), issued warrants for Albert Harlo and his wire Rebecca, also colored. Harle’s wifo and Rowland’s had a quarrel and Rowland took a hand. Then Harle ran Rowland off with a shotgun. This oc curred at Bay and Farm streets. Rowland had Rooecca arrested for assault and battery and Harlo for taking a shet*un to him. Both parties gave bond. Andrew Bush swore out warranto against Dave Baker and Amelia Habersham for adultery and fornication. Bush prosecuted In spite, perhaps, as he owed the parties some rent, and they refused to let him move off the place until it was paid. The parties gave bond and will be heard before Justice Shef tall. Eddie Miller was too rough in his play with James Williams, and was hauled up in consequence oa a charge of assault and battery. He said he was only jokiug, but he had to give bond for investl gatiou. Justice Sheftall had a racy little oase on his docket yesterday morning. J. Becker prosecuted Solomon Jacobs on a breach of good t.ehavior warrant, for cursing and abusing him.

Besides this case Justice Sheftall issued several peuee warrants, served notice of six civil suits and issued thirteen bail in trover writs. AMONG THE TBOTTBRS. The Turf Interest Reviving—The July 4 Races. The coming race between R. W. Power’s pacer, Pat Fallon, and E. C. Gleason’s trotter, Susong, Jtily 4, is all the talk among lovers of the turf. The purse is SI,OOO, and it is said that the horses are being backed for five times as much by their admirers. The Thunderbolt course has been engaged, and the horses are in training. It is conceded that they are the two fastest travelers in the South Atlantic states, and as both pave won laurels there is a desire to see which has the best bottom. Tho event is to be mile heats, best three in five. Mr. Powerp told Mr. Gleason last night that Pat Fallon will take three straight heats, and Mr. Gleason replied that Susong will distance the pacer in the first heat, so that no more will be necessary. Without jesting, the owners of the racers admitted that both horpes are fast, and while neither gontlemen will concede that he owns the slowest nag, it will be the closest race and the fastest one ever seen over the Thunder bolt course. Sunday lost Susong was driven on tho White Bluff road, to a skeleton wagon, by Birch, the driver being 60 pounds over weight, and, though handicapped by wagon and driver, he made a half mile with a running mate in 1:12. Fallon beat Optimus, Doyle’s stallion Claymore, and the fast mare, Bowie R-, over the Thunderbolt course during May week, and, though the pacer slacked up when the stallion fell back, the timers gave Fallon the course in the fastest time ever made over the course, breaking the record of Lucy Wilkes, who made it severe, years ago in The mare afterward trotted over the course at Fleetwood, N. Y., in 2:16K and 2:17. Lucy Wilkee was 6 years old when she made her time here, and Fallon Is only 7 years old. The Thunderbolt course, which is only a half-mile track, with short turns, Is fifteen seconds slower than the Fleetwood track. Pat Fallon has a record in the American Jockey Club Association of 2:38, given him when he beat Headlight and Angel over the Columbus courfo in 1888. Headlight, with a record of 2:18, was beaten by Pat Fallon in three straight heats. Susong is 8 years old and has a record of made at Columbus in 1888. He won the Tybee stakes last year in three straight heats, time not taken, beating To Be and Maggie D. Madden, the well-known Charleston turf man, has his stables at Thunderbolt, consist ing of his three fast runners, Maud, Nor dick and R. B. C. They will bo entered in the running races on the Fourth, but the Pat Fallon-Susong race seems to have absorbed all the interest, as it is to be the feature of the day. It i9 understood that Charlestonians are backing Pat Fallon heavily. POOLER RIFLES’ PICNIC. A Gala Time to be Had on July 4 The Programme.

Don’t Even Dream of a Scarcity of Hardware, Etc., Saya Lovell & Lattl more. For a general all-around assortment of everything possible to be wanted in that line there is not likely any place ahead of Savannah. It certainly has some very old and largo establishments in this business, and on this account mainly it is usually conceded to lead the rest of the state. Hardware and stove houses here date back way into the ’4os, and are sustained by a steady, pushing energy that keeps them always busy and constantly increasing their trade. Such a firm, that has nearly reached one-half a century’s existence, but who is now more than ever desirous for continued success, we And Lovell & Latti more.—Adv. The Popularity of Tybee Almost Phe nomenal. It is not strange that Savannah people should love Tybee. They know by the ex perience of years that every dollar that they have ever put there returns to them an enormous yearly dividend in the in creased health of themselves and children. It fills a want, one of those “long felt” ones, which all of the members of every family feel when summer comes. When the energies lag, and the “grasshopper seems a burden,” a trip to Tybee is the restorative which makes all hands feel like a “four-year-old.” All of this is natural to Bavannahians. It is particularly gratifying, however, to have Augusta, Macon and Atlanta confirm our judgment and flock to Tybee. It is espe cially gratifying to hear them say that they will come to the sale of lots at Tybee on next Wednesday and Thursday.— Adv. Turnverein Picnic. To-morrow the Savannah and Charleston Turners will celebrate their anniversary by a picnic at Tybee. About thirty Turners from Charleston will arrive on the train this morning. They are the guests of the Savannah Turners, and will tako part iu the anniversary meeting to-day and join in the picnic to-morrow. Boom! Boom! Booming!
