THEY START FOR OHICKAMAUGA
WITH FLYING COLOKB.
Col. Garrard Carries 124 Men—A Stir
ring Scene at the Armory During
the Departure of the Corps—The
Gathering of the Comt>anies—The
Assembly and the Start Amid Cheers
and Good-bys and the Waving of
Handkerchiefs from Hundreds of
Ladies—The Men Who Will Be in
Camp.
The Volunteer Guards left Savannah for
Chickamauga last night at 7:30 o’clock 124
strong, an average of 39 men to the com
pany. This is just a fraction over one
above the average of the regiment, which
lacked a fraction of averaging 38 to the
company. Company A carried 35 men and
officers. Company B 34, and Company C 48
men. Capt. John Reilly was the proudest
man in town because Company C oarried a
larger number of men to the encampment
than any other company leaving Savannah.
The Irish Jasper Greens and the Savannah
Cadets carried 41 men each when they went
up with the regiment
The battalion went oft with great eclat.
The men began to gather at the armory
considerably before the time appointed for
the assembly. They gathered rapidly and
by 6 o’clock the fears which have haunted
the officers ever since the encampment idea
was sprung that the companies would not be
able to carry their full complement of men
were entirely dissipated.
THE ASSEMBLY AT THE ARMORY.
There were nothing but Guards to be seen
in every direction. Guards crowding the
armory balcony, Guards promenading the
streets. Guards talking to the girls ou the
De Boto Dalconv and Guards down in the
drill room trying on belts. The Guards
owned that end of the town.
A large crowd gathered in and around
the De Soto and ou the streets near by to
see the boys off. The balcony on the south
side of the De Soto was filled with ladies
who had coine to see their favorites off. In
and around the artno y the boys were
buzzing like bees. Every new comer was
given a hearty greeting, for it meant
another man to swell the ranks.
A number of the veteran members of the
corps were at the armory and were as inubh
interested as the boys themselves. They
were ready to tell of the days before the
war when the Guards, then only one com
pany, paraded 199 men in uniform. They
will do it again soon at their present rate of
growth. The battalion has over 200 uni
formed men now.
THE MARCH TO THE DEPOT.
At 6:45 o’clock the command “Fall ini"
was given, and the companies formed in
the drill room. As each company completed
i's line and the number was announced
mowing it to have more than the required
quota, the drill room resounded with cheers.
At 7 o’clock the companies marched out
on Harris street, south of the Ds Soto.
Company B was greeted with applause by
its young lady friends on the hotel balcony
as it marched to its position in line.
Acting Adjt. Davis Freeman formed tbe
battalion and turned it over to Col. Gar
rard. After a few exorcises in the manual
tbe oomtnand to march was given and the
line wheeled into Bull street and marched
down past the De Soto into Liberty street
and on to the Central depot. The splendid
appearance of the line was the subject of
general remark. The men wore their full
gray uniforms. They will don their service
suits when they get Into camp.
About 800 of their friends accompanied
them to the depot, including many of tbe
stay-at-homes who couldn’t get away. The
stay-at-homes were very quiet and had little
to say, but the boys in uniform made racket
enough for the crowd.
Tbe Guards bad a special train with a
sleeper for each company and a smoking ear
and baggage car in addition. The train
was pretty well filled, too. The Guards put
in ! be time between their arrival and the de
parture of the train in singing, speech
making and cheering for the popular
officers.
Company B gathered in front of its
sleeper and Gordon Orme sang “Waser
milyun,” and Fred Barker “Catfish,” and
the rest of the boys joined in the chorus.
They were about to get a speech out of Tom
Morgan when the train pulled out.
OFF AMID CHEERS.
The boys departed with cheers from their
friends. They were very much pleased over
the number they are carrying in the camp.
The Company C men are especially elated
over their "showiug. Capt. Williamson
carries a fine crowd w ith Company A, and
the Company B man vow they have '* the
companv.”
The battalion will reoeive a number of
reinforcements from the city during the
week. About half a dozen men are going
up to-night. Lieut. J. F. Cann will go up
about the middle of the week with several
others, and a great many who didu’t care
about going into camp at first have con
cluded that they will go up during the week.
The battalion will arrive at Chlcka
raauga about 12 o’olook to-day. The First
Regiment will take the same train back for
Savannah as soon as the Guards disembark,
and will arrive here some time early to
morrow morning.

SCALPING PAWN TICKETS.
Detective Wetherhorn'e Chase After
a Thief—The Tniefa Capture.
Tracking a suit of stolen clothe* is not
the easiest thing a detective has to do.
Detective Wetnerhorn baa had a case of
that kind on band for several days.
Mr. R. D. Guerard reported to Proprietor
Powers a couple of nights ago that his room
at the De Soto had been robbed of three tuiis
of clothe*, valued at $l5O.
Mr. Powers turned the case over to De
tective Wetberhorn, and yesterday tbe
thief was captured and the clothes re
covered. The thief is an ex-baggageman of
tbe De Soto, named Harry Yore.
Detective Wetherhorn secured a descrip
tion of the stolen goods and went immedi
ately to Muhlberg’s pawnshop, where he re
covered two of the suits. The pa wnbroker
said a man named George Burroughs
pawned the suits with him over a week ago
for sll 30. He gave the detective a full
description of the mau. At Strauss’ pawn
shop Strauss admitted that a man giving
the name of Burroughs bad pawned witu
him about the same time a suit
of clothes answering tbe deeoriDtion cf
those wanted by the detective for $6 30.
Another man, wnose name tbe pawnbroker
didn't know, had redeemed tbe clothes
shortly afterward.
Detective Wetherhorn reported the de
scription of the thief to Mr. Powers, who
said it fitted Baggageman Yore, whom he
discharged about the time the theft was
committed. The detective started out after
his man and found him at the Screven
house. The officer walked up to him, and
placing his hand on Yore’s shoulder told
him he was wanted. The ex-baggageman
appeared rathor surprised and wanted an
explanation, which he quickly received in
the shape of a pair of handcuffs clasped
about his wrists.
Detective Wetherhorn took his prisoner to
Justice Naughtin'e office. Yore at first
denied tbe charge, but when he saw the
olothieg be gave in and confessed. He had
quietly slipped the oiothes out of Mr.
Guerard 1 * room while getting baggage from
neighboring rooms. He told the detective
he had sold the three pawntickets to second
hand store proprietors, two on Bryan street,
between Barnard and Jefferson, and one
on Jefferson street.
Justice Naughtin committed Yore
to jail and after Detective
Wetherhorn saw his prisoner
safely locked he started his search for the
pawn tickets and tbe missing suit. Several
“hand-me-down’’stores on Bryan street were
searched without success. At last one little
place not much larger than a good-sized
closet, kept by Mike Volaski, was visited.
“Did you buy a pawn ticket for a suit of
clothes from a white man in the last few
days!” asked Detective Wetherhorn.
Mike replied In broken English that he
had given a nice young man 135 cents for a
pawn ticket for a suit of clothes, but he
hadn’t redeemed them.
“Let me have tbe ticket,” demanded the
detective.
It was handed over with a little reluct
anoe, and an anxious inquiry from Volaski
as to what was to become of tbe 35 cents
he had paid for the ticket.
Detective Wetherhorn told him that he
and “the nice young man” could arrange
that. The explanation didn’t please the
proprietor worth a cant, and the detective
left him muttering to himself.
At J. Lasky’s place, a few doors below
Volaski’s, the same question was asked.
Yes; Luaky had bought a pawn ticket for
a suit of clothes from a young man, who
said be was hard up. He paid 50 cents for
the ticket.
“Hand It over,” demanded the detective.
Lasky promptly complied, and asked if the
man who had sold him the tioket was a
thief. Being told that he was he appeared
satisfied and asked no questions about his
fifty cents.
Two stores on Jefferson street were vis
ited. The proprietors of each place had
been offered the pawn ticket, but refused to
buy it.
Bluestein’s little establishment at St Jul
ian and Jefferson streets proved to be the
right place. The proprietor is not much
more than a boy.
"Did you buy a Strauss pawn ticket for a
suit of clothes?” he was asked.
A rather short “no" was the answer.
“Did any one in this store buy tbe ticket?”
asked Detective Wetherhorn.
Bluestein said he believed bis brother-in
law, Morris Reuben, had.
“Where are the clothes?"
"I don't know. Maybe my brother-in
law got ’em; maybe he sell ’em. He didn’t
buy ’em tor himself. He want to sell ’em.’,
After considerable questioning, the de
tective succeeded in finding out where
Reuben lived. He went to the house, but
Reuben had just left. In the meantime he
arrived at Bluestein’s store, and when Jus
tice Naughtin explained matters to him
Reuben became greatly excited. He said
he bought the pawn tloket for 30 oents be
cause he thought the man was starving.
Justice Naughtin cut him short with an in
quiry as to what had become of the clothei.
He had sold them to a friend named
Buchanhoiz for $7. When told that the
olothea must be produoed Reuben rushed
off after his friend. Buchanhoiz got as ex
cited as Reuben when he found out that be
had bought stolen property, and hurried
home and got the clothes, which he turned
over to Detective Wetherhorn.
The three suits are in about as good con
dition as when stolen, as they had not been
worn. They were returned to Mr. Guerard.
Tore offered to plead guilty in the city
court to three charges of larceny from the
house of goods under the value of SSO.
Solicitor General Fraser took the matter
under advisement and will give Yore a
reply as to what he will do. He told a
Mornino News reporter that it is hardly
probable that the pleas can be accepted, as
each suit is valued at SSO, making a total of
3130. This brings the crime under the
head of felony and makes the thief answer
able to the superior court.

Walks Off W.tnout an Effort to Capt

Would Kill Them if They Attempted
Gis Arrest.
The news of a most wanton and unpro
voked killing of one negro by another at
Mclntosh, in Liberty county, reached the
city last night.
There was an excursion of colored people
from Savannah to Mclntosh, or No. 3, on
tbe Savannah, Florida and West
ern railroad yesterday morning. The
party was joined by a number
of Liberty county negroes at Mclntosh.
Tbe report said that Tom Tarver, who was
armed with a Winchester rifle, deliberately
shot Isaiah Anderson through the body,
killing him almost instantly, the ball pass
ing through near the heart.
Tbe murdered man was standing some
distance from Tarver and gave him no prov
ocation whatever. After the shooting
Tarver quietly walked away unmolested by
any one. The parties who saw the killing
said that Tarver had 15 more shots in his
rifle, and that they were afraid to arrest
him.
A special to the Morning News from
Mclntosh last night said that Tarver was
gambling in the woods with some of the
Savannah negroes. Anderson was going
through tbe woods and came upon the
party. The gang ordered him to stop, out
he proceeded without noticing them,and was
9hot in the back by Tarver, who then made
his esoape.
Neither of the men was from Savannah.
The number of negro desperadoes who
make a practice of going about tbrougfl the
country in this section of the state armed
with Winchester rifles and ready to shoot
and terrorize both white and black has be
come something alarming. There are many
murderers of this class roaming through
the state.

THE PRESIDENT IS SAFE.
The Young Men's Christian Association
Falls to Condemn His Action.
The Young Men's Christian Association
Literary Bociety approved last night the
recent action of the United States In re
fusing admittance of several hundred im
migrants to this country by the adoption of
oommendatory resolutions, which the
society voted to be sent to President Har
rison.
The condemnatory resolutions which were
before the society were as follows:
Whsreas, We believe the recent action of the
United States of America in refusing admit
tance to several hundred emigrants to be uu-
Amerlcan and not in accordance with the views
of the American people and the constitution,
which declares ‘‘all men to be created equal,”
and.
Whereas. We believe such action to be detri
mental to the growth of the United States of
America, and deserves the severest criticism,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That this Bociety criticises most se
verely the recent action of the United States of
America in this matter, and be it further
Resolved, That this society tenders to the
President of the United Statesja vote of censure
for his action, and be it
Nssoli’ed further. That a copy of these reso
lutions be entered in the minute-book, and one
copy forwarded to Hon, Bejamin Harrison,
President of the United States of America, with
the request that he paste thsm in his grandpa's
hat.
The discussion was of a very decided
character. Julian deß. Kops presided over
the debate, whioh lasted for two hours, and
was finally settled after several votes and
efforts to approve, reconsider and postpone.
The Young Men’s Christian Association
hall was well filled with members of the so
ciety and others to listen to the debate.

represented two are held in Baltimore and
the others in Macon and Savannah. Tbe
Telegraph says that although the meeting
was quiet and free from any sort of wrang
ling it is known that some pretty straight
questions wero asked of some of the officers
of the compauy by certain stockholders
concerning transactions in which they were
thought to have exceeded their authority.
For instance, it was held that the Construc
tion company was not properly authorized
to subscribe for $500,000 of the Macou
“no . Savannah Construction stock.
Objections was also made to the
expenditure of so much moDey ($60,000 or
more) on Cycloneta farm. The election of
Mr. Strang as a director has set all sorts of
rumors afloat concerning the company’s
future aotions. Mr. Strang is a member of
the contracting firm of J. S. McTigbe &
Cos., on whose petition the construction
companies and the Georgia Southern
railroad were placed in the hands of a re
ceiver. The following board of directors was

Lamar, Sr., of Maoon, John J. Ingalls of
Macon. W. A. Doody of Macon
R. F. Lawton of Macon, A. B. Small of

BARE OLD MANUSCRIPTS.
A Collection That Would Delight the
Heart of Any Bibliophile.
from the Chicago Tribune.
Christopher Columbus wrote a letter to
Luis de Sant’ Angel, Escrlbano de Racion of
Kingdom of Aragon, and It was dated
Feb. 15, 1493. It told all about the discov
ery of America, and was penued by the
disooverer on board his ship when it
was off the Canary Islands. At that
time Columbus had no idea a copy of it
would be worth $8,750, but that is
the price Bernard A. Quartrich holds it at
to day, and he has the original oopy that
was found in Spain eighteen months ago by
a Spaniard. It was sold to a French book
seller for a small sum, aud then passed Into
the hands of the bibliophile, Bernard
(juaritch of London. Its great value lies in
the fact that it is the first document iu ex
istence that tells of the discovery of Amer
ica. There have been Latin translations
found twenty-five years ago, but it was not
known until two years ago that a Spanish
translation was ever printed.
Iu 3,000 words Columbus tells of the
strange country he thought was Asia, tho
natives, and their habits both in trade and
manner of living, of the great riches, and
he signs himself “The Admiral.” The copy
has been preserved ia an old English man
uscript bearing the date of 1496. The trans
lation is by Michael Kearney. Among the
other rare books Mr. Quaritch now has in
his room at the Auditorium hotel is on Aztec
picture chronicle of Camposllan. It was
written on leaves of a ooarse paper mado
from maguey fiber at Tezcuco In 1529, It is
thought to have been prepared as as an as
sertion of the claims of Emperor Ixtilxoch
11., tha last King of Tezouoo, who lost his
kingdom just before the arrival of Cortes,
and by whom he was re-established.
This copy was preserved in a Mexican
convent and passed into the hands of Bras
sear de Bourbourg and later to Alphonso
Pinoit. Its commercial value is $1,600.
Another rare book is the “Deed of Nobility,”
printed In Granada in 1593. It oontains a
striking likeness of Philip 11., painted by
the hand on vellum. The original manu
script now in the oity is worth $450.
A BOY BAROMETER.
His Straight Hair Kinks Three Days
Before a Bigr Storm.
From the St. Louis Republic.
There is a man in Centerville township,
St Clair county, RL, who boasts of are
markable boy. The man’s name is John
son, aud he recently removed there from
Kansas, but stopped a few weeks in East St
Louis before he finally decided to locate per
manently Iu Centerville. The boy is a
plump, good natured and intelligent lad of
about 12 years, with glossy black hair
aa straight as an arrow, and goes by the
name of Walter. He is an only
son and the pride of his father’d
heart His father boasts that the boy is a
regular barometer, and that he can al
ways tell three days ahead of an approach
ing storm by the peculiar action of the boy.
According to the statement made by the
father to a prominent divine, just three
days before a storm of any magnitude the
boy’s hair will begin to kink, and in an in
creditably short spaoe of time will curl al
most in ringlets on the back of his head,
with short ourls in front, which remain In
that condition until after the storm, when
it resumes its natural condition and remains
straight until the approach of another
storm.
Mr. Johnson warned the farmers of his
neighborhood of the approaching storm
which occurred on Tuesday morning at 5
o’clock, for the boy's hair still kept curled,
which satisfied his father that there was
another storm approaching. The curls were
thioker and longer Wednesday, and sure
enough the vicinity was visited by a violent
storm on Wednesday evening. An hour
afterward his black hair straightened out
again and the fears of the people in the
vicinity were very much relieved, as they
were satisfied that tbe terrible storms wore
over for the present.
