Arrival of the Savannah Volunteer Guards Battalion and the Other Com panies Who Will Occupy the Camp During the Second Week—The Second Regiment Not Dp in Guard Mounting. Chickamauga, Ga., June 23.—The new soldiers are on the grounds, aDd the woods are full of them. They are all young and handsome. They have explored the grounds, and are familiar with the topography of the country. Guard mount, however, by the Second regiment this afternoon at sunset was a farce. The men didn’t know the first thing about it. Lieut. Satterlee veiled himself hoarse, and still the brave boys walked aimlessly about over the grass. THE GUARDS UP TO SNUFF. The Guards mounted guard in a decent manner. They knew what they were about, and the men fell in like veterans. The battalion is attracting a great deal of at tention here. Their uniforms are striking and the men good-looking. The boys are falling into camp life nioely, and in a day or two they will have the air of regulars. MUSIC IN THE AIR. The Southern Cadets have not moved their piano up to the quarters yet, but the grounds were full of music to-night. Every company has a crack quartette, and the lads were fairly splitting their throats when tops were sounded at 10 o’clock. Some of the boys didn’t know what it meant when the officers told them that they must be ia bed at 10 o’clock. The new soldiers ore delighted with Chiekomaugo. They say it is Tike being at a reeort, and they favor the old battle-field for the permanent encampment. UNIFORM OF THE GUARDS. Chice amauoa, Ga., June 22.—The pretty uniform of the Guards Is attracting o great deal of attention. The men appear as neat as if they bad been starched bodily. The first thing a oouple of high steppers did when they pressed Chickamauga’s rooky soil was to break a bottle of wine. “That's Savannah up and-down,” said a North Georgian who has had bis day down there. He said his memory about what happened while he was there is very treach erous. He remembers that he was to have been the guest of a club man, but that is all. Too much punch, and all that sort of thing. When the advance guards of the Guards’ battalion came up to bring the baggage and make ready here for the companies to fol low they were encountered at Cedartown by the United States express agent, who 1 threatened to seize the baggage if the boys did not pay the extra charges over the new line. The Guards refused, and the man was about to proceed to confiscate it when tbe Southern Cadets of Macon formed in line and started to displace the agent and re i cover the baggage. The matter was readily adjusted, however, when the agent of the , new company understood that the baggage t was not going by express at all, and that tbe freight on it was paid at Savannah : through to Chickamauga. BKROT. Screven’s new name. Commissary Sergeant Screven of the Guards has been dubbed “Scabby.” The !new name came this way. Screven met ’some Chattanooga young ladies on tbe train and one of them asked him to write his name on her oard. Screven did so while the Wain was flying along, and tbe girl made it out ‘ ‘Scurvy.” The boys say they like ‘ ‘Soab -by” better, and it might as well be that if j the name has to be changed. So “Scabby” fgoes flying. A coupie of farmer lads, members of 'South Georgia companies, were talking ! about military i&st night, and one of them remarked that he wasn't so good on the gen eral military, but be was upon the manual. “Yes,” replied the other, “and we both are better upon the field movement than any thing else.” GEN. WILSON’S DEATH. Tug Wilson finds Chickamauga full of in terest. His father fought here aid died duriug the war at Ringgold, a short dis tance from here. He was Gen. Wilson, and bis name appears upon the map in the most bloody contests. It was here that two horses were shot from under him and he came out UDsoarred. Although he was .acting brigadier general in Gen. Walker’s army, he had never received his commis sion. The general had endeavored to pro cure it from headquarters iu Virginia, but the facilities were so poor that it was not until the very day of Gen. Wilson’s death that the papers were forwarded to him at Ringgold. The oourier sent by Gen. Walker in haste to exhibit the papers to the dying officer, in the hope that it might be a source of pleasure to him in his last moments, ran all the way and when he reached the general’s beside breathless, the warrior breathed his last time. These papers were sent to Gen. Wilson’s family, where they are preserved. GEN. ALEXANDER’S VISIT. Gen. Alexander was here yesterday with a party of railroad men. They spent the night on Lookout, and the general fought all the old battles over again, he said. He was on the mountain with twenty-nine pieces of artillery and peppered away every now and then, but he was not actively in the war. It was up here that he got his title. While the other railroad magnates were lounging about the hotel smoking and dis cussing railroad affairs the general was walking lonesomely over the old grounds, stopping now.and then to point out and re ft ect. CRACK COMPANIES. The First Georgia Regiment has lectured the other Savannah soldiers coming in to maintain the high position which Savannah holds now She stands at the very top. The Guards do not fear lowering the record, they say. but they have some of the best soldiery in the state to “buck against.” They are tbe Southern Cadets and the Columbus Guards and the Perry Rifles. This is the prize drill crowd. The Colum bus Guards, in their gaudy snow-white shakos last, season at Augusta “out kept” anything there. A good many are anxious to see their “pippin” before the Southern Cadets. The officer of the day yesterday was Lieut. R. S. Mell of tbe Cadets. Lieut. Gregor of the Blues is officer of the guard. REAL CAMP LIFE. Last night was real camp life. Fires were built in every company street and the sol diers suug and had a merry time generally. Col. Reilly was photographed to-day. Re was on his charger and never looked better. The last day in camp was full of interest. The men renewed their acquaintances formed the first day they came into camp, and a bottle or two of wine was broken on the dead quiet. They told stones and promised to be guests of each other at future dates. Hot much duty was performed aside from guard duty. The Cadets had rifle instruc tion from Lieut. Satterlee in the uses of the sight. He explained the action of the wind aud light in sighting and also explained ex plicitly and clearly the deviation of the bullet in iu flight. It was highly interest ing. The boys had thair pictures taken all over camp. The Cadets had fifty-four photos delivered yesterday in tbeir street. The officers and sergeants of the Dawson Guards and of the Cadeu held a conference yesterday, and Capt. Brooks gave them in structions about skirmish aud for sham battle. A JOKE ON KEHOE. The Greens had a picture of Billie Kehoe sketched, and his funeral. Bob Pepper is represented as the preacher. He stands on & stool with a Bible in bis hand. Private Whalen, the cleverest man in camp, was photographed on a horse, with little Ruby VTright in his arms, while Sergt. Leonard held the animal’s tail. Private Leonard aud Private Gannon eharged bayonet, and | Private Leonard represented a ventroliqulst last night aDd entertained the boys a long I time. The boys say it beat anything they ever heard. Tom Murphey of the Greens found another frog before he left and asked one of the boys what in thunder was that traveling on the road. Nick Consh wore a pair of white trousers to-day, and the boys guyed him until he pulled them off and threatened to sally out in the mud and rain without them. The of ficers watched him, though, and the boys were ready to seize him and yang him off to guard tent for double duty. Billie Kehoe said he was sick to-day. and when he was relieved from his duty he crossed the line aDd proceeded to skeedad dle over toward Lookout. Jack Leonard was detailed to capture him. Over the hills they bad it, and finally, after swimming a branch, Leonard caught him. When Leonard told me of it he said “put iny name down there, I must get the praise for it. He run me too bard.” Douglass Gregor of the Lines is guyed by the boys because he gets ill every time he is detailed for guard duty. The boys says ho remains in his tent until after each meal the he proceeds to make love to the cook. And he generally gets tbe best meals in comp. Z. D. R. THE AMERICAS LIGHT INFANTRY.

Results of Experiments— A Suburb Threatens to Secede. Thomasville, Ga. , June 23.—Many trials have been mode by the fruit growers around Thomasville to produce fine varie ties of plums. Experiment has followed experiment for yeaie, only to bring disap pointment It really would appear, how ever, that the difficulty has been overcome at last A. D. Hike, postmaster and nurseryman, has a Botan plum tree in bis yard which has borne an immense crop of large fine purple peach-flavored plums thie season. This is tbe only tree here oid enough to bear of this variety. Should the future make good the preeent prospect, the Botan plumb, a Japanese fruit, will take its place along with tbe LeConte and Kteffer pears as a great money crop to Southwest Georgia. Dr. H. C.

Athens, Ga., June 23.—The evening Ledger of this date Is authority for the statement that Chancellor VV. C. Boggs of the University of Georgia intends to sit down on so much gayety here during tbe commenoemeut exercises. The artlole says that the “chancellor thinks the constant stream of entertainment during commence ment does interfere seriously with the proper amount of attention that the exer cise in tbe chapel should command, and he is going to wage relentless war against this social Order of things. He has requested tbe executive committee of the Athenaeum to unite with him to accomplish these ends. He proposes to change the programme of the oollege exercises, making inroads on immemorial custom and fix tbe senior and junior speaking at night instead of In the morning. This, he hopes, will abridge the amount of festivity and secure to tbe exerqisos a reasonable share of attention from residents and visitors. These innova tions may change the whole complexion of commencement or may not increase the in terest in the exercises.” LIGHTNING’S FATAL FLASH.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21,1891. A NOVEL POINT IN COURT A MAN SIGNS A FIRM’S NAME AF TER IIS DISSOLUTION. The Signature Gave Him Possession of a Registered Letter—He Had Agreed That the Outstanding Ac counts Were to Be Collected by Bis Successor. Atlanta, Ga., June 23. —A sensational case against a well-known business man of Atlanta is set for trial before Federal Com missioner Haight to-morrow, though the chances are that the hearing will be post poned. The question involved is a peculiar one, and there are so few precedents that the lawyers find it difficult to collect au thorities bearing upon the point. On Jan. 13 last tbe firm of Connor & Blatter, com mission merchants, was dissolved, J. T. Blatter retiring and signing an agreement that all collections for the firm should be left to his partner, who continued the busi ness. Blatter then began work for an in surance company, with which he is still oonnected. signed for a registered letter.

He is charged with signing without warrant the firm’s name and appropriating the letter, with its content. This, it is understood, be claims to have had a right to do as a member of a firm at that time extinct. OVBaCHARGHS ON FREIGHT. .a ■ - The Subject Before tbe State Railroad Commissioners. Atlanta, Ga.. June 23.— The petition of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad for a revision of tbe rule Drovidlng for the settlement of claims for overcharges or un dercharges according to estimated weights was to-day denied by the railroad commis sion. The petition of tbe Georgia Paeiflo for a change in the freight classification of soap was continued till July 28. The commissioners are preparing a letter to Gov. Nortben in which they will recom mend that the legislature enact more stringent laws to prevent railroads from exaoting certain overcharges. They com plain that certain lines pay no attention to the rule of the commission, but oollect systematically more than is their due. When complaint is made and the law is enforced against them these roads refuse the overcharge, but in the majority of oases the people do not know that they are required to pay too muoh, and make no complaint. Thus the roads can refund when oalled on, yet un lawfully pooket in hundreds of cases an overplus for which no demand Is made upon them. Buoh seems to be the general drift of the letter. It will be completed to morrow. TERMINAL’S TOURIBTa The Inspecting Party Reaches Colum bus and Returns to Macon.
