At noon the train rolled into the depot.
It was dusty ands > were the boys. There
was nothing ela. tae matter with the.n,
though, and ’hey poured out of the tram
BhOutiug at their return, and they were re
ceived with cheers by their com
rades awaiting them. They
looked like veterans. Every man
had several pounds of dus - o.i his clothi.g.
The boys were in their blue shirts a id Jeans

imre ied into the drill room aud formed
around tis tab'os, wuere a suostaatiai
lunch awaited it.
PAUSE PISOU COT- GARRARD.
After the lunch Col. Garrard dismissed
the b ittalion with a few words expressing
his appreciat nof tbs conduct of the men
in camp. Ho said he wished to tnauk too
men personally for th 9 manner in which
they hid acquitted themselves. They had
act and Iko rrue sjldiors, ha sail, aud
had established for themselves a
reputation which had gone nil over two
states. They had throughout performed
their duties ii a manner highlv orelitabla,
and in a manner whicn commands of more
exjierience in camp might well be proud of.
The praise which they ha i received from
the coalmanler of the camp, from the
United States offic rs, Capt. Fioids aud
Lieut. Satterlc.', ar.d me oil!" r. of the bes.
commands of the Sec m l regiment might
have seemed flatte mg if it had not been
deserved. These oticers personally ex
pressed to Col. Gar ard thmr appreciation
of the m inner in which th • battalion hod
acquitte 1 itself in ca up, and ho had uo
hesitation in sayi g tha’ it was the best dis
ciplined and bast appearing ooiamaad at
Chi.kamauga.
PRAISE WELL DESERVED.
Col. Garrard said he could ‘-ay for himself
that these remarks were deserve! He had
observed the conduct of the men and he
could say that order was as strictly pre
served and guard duty a- strictly performed
at midnight as at mid lay. Guard was
mounted at midnight with the same pre
cision as in the day. when the eyes of the
United States officers were upon the men.
Cos! Garrard impressed upon the men the
necessity of preserving the morale of the
command, which had been so fully estab
lished. He ssid that everything pointed
toward the oontinuod success of what bad,
in his opinion, been for eightv-nine years
the best military command in Georgia.
Thanking the corps again t r the am ner
In which it had acquitted itself, he dismissed
the bataliinn.
CHEERS FOR THE OFFICERS.
Sombody proposed three cheers for Cos!
Garrard, aud they were given with a will.
Then there were three cheers for Capt.
Tom Screven and three for Cap’. John
Reilly, and three again f r Capt. Willlum
son. It was noticeable that tne men of the
whole batallion aud not merely of each
company cheered for each captain os his
name was mentioned.
The week in camp has brought the
Guards nearer together, and his trade
them proud, not only of their companies,
but of the whole battnl ion.
Three cheers were given for Lieut. Davis
Freeman, acting adjutant for the week, and
from the heartiness with which they were
fiven Lieu! Freeman ha 1 evidently per
ormed his duties well.
The men slowly dispersed from the
armory, stopping to fight their batuesover
again with their comrades who were unable
to go into camp.
THE TRIP HOME.
The Guards’ train left the camp at 1
o’clock Tuesday afternoon. At 10 o'clock
at night the locomotive broke down seven
miles west of Griffin, and it was several
hours before they were enabled to proceed.
The men did not mind it, however, for they
were putting in sleep to make up for what
they had lost in a week of guard duty and
incidental skirmishing around Chicka
mauga. The train stopped at Wadiey for
breakfast at the Terminal hjtel yesterday
morning, aud the Guards vow to a man
that they never had a breakfast quite so
good. It was worth while to be delayed
they say, just to get that breakfast.
THE CAMP TOO FAR AWAY.
The Guard* are enthusiastic over the
camp. They are not tired, they say, and
most of them would have been glad to stay
awhile longer. They like Chickamauga.
They say it i9 a splendid place for the en
eampment. but it takes too long going and
coming. For practical reasons they would
prefer a camp more centrally located. Col.
Garrard says that as a camp Chickamauga
is all that i9 to be desired, but it is too far
away from Savannah. He spoke
as if he would favor the
selection of a more centrally located 9ite f r
the permanent encampment All of the
battalion speak highly of the United States
officers—Capt. Field and Lieut Batterlee.
They found them both pleasant gentlemen
as well as perfect soldiers. The only com
plaint they make against them is that they
gave so much more of their time to the
instruction of the regiment than to the
Guards. The officers excused themselves
for this on the ground that the regiment
needed the Instruction and the Guards
didn’t.
A COMPLIMENT APPRECIATED.
This made the Guards open their eyes.
They thought they were only tyros at
soldiering before, hut now they are con
vinced that they are soldiers, it also made
them, redouble their efforts to maintain the
high position so unexpectedly assigned
them. The Guards are naturally a modest
lot, but they have no hesitation in saving
that they were “the people” at camp. They
did more work and had more fun than any
three commands there. They out a dash
when out on leave, hired all the hacss in
sight and owned the hotel. As for tho girls,
they doted on the Guards, and the other
fellows were not in it baside them. The
proprietor of the Chickamauga hotel said
they were trie best crowd for Lim that had
been in ramp, and everybody, even down
to the barkeeper, was down to see them off.
The Guards service uniform attracted a
great deal of attention. Notwithstanding
its roughness it looks w ell on the men, and
is just the thing for camp. The Southern
Csldets and others of the best c unmauds in
camp examined it closely, and next year
will see a great msDy of them equipped witn
BEHAVIOR OF THE HEM.
The officers of ihe Guards say that the
reports of arrests were very much exagger
ated. especially the report yesterday of the
grand break across the lines and the arrest
of nearly fifty men. Only five men were
arrested and there was no break across the
Guards' line. The men did not attempt to
break across the line, because they
had found from experience that ther
were sure to be arrested and compel el to
pay the penalty. The Guards were very
strict in this respect, and every man who
was absent from camp without leave was
put under arrest. Acting Adjt. Freeman
says that the corporals performed their duty
well, and there was no laxity in the en
forcement of orders, sorely to,the surprise of
many of their comrade-, w ho thought they
would be as easy-going as when at home.
Corpl. Comer of Company B won the repu
tation of being the s’ricteit corporal in
comp. He made the boys toe the line and
waltzed the delinquents in at every ebaace.
THE FIRST SIGHT OF CAMP.
The Guards say that things presented a
very discouraging appearance the first day
they got into camp. Tne men were tired
and worn out. The quarters were entirely
inadequate to accommodate them, and had
been left in a very disorderly condition by
their previ us occupants, ihe supply of
provisi ns was very poor and the food was
hardlvfitto tat. Soma of the men were
so disgusted With app-arauce of
things that they wo Id willingly
have turned around and come back home.
Hard work, h twever, on the part of men
and officers too i remedied part of these
ov.ls. and. with g od food and somewhere
to sleep, the boys were s >o i enjoving their
camp life. They have many g >od t mgs to
tell of their camp experieuc-s. Tom M ir
gan -ays positively that.,- goat that ate
his tag joke belongs t J hn Hardee and
not t > turn. The joke took, htwever, and
everybody in camp was saying, “You don’t
know, I don’t know, nobody don’t know.
I've eat my tag.” The papers published it,
and the story has gone all over the state.
It cams near being too much for Hick Hen
nessey, though.
A FAVORITE TRICK.
Hennesiy and three other fellows were
out after 11 o’clock without leave, and so
they o included to work a racket on the
guard of the regiment, and get through
without being arrested. They didn’t try it
on tie Guards, beiause they knew it
wouldn’t work. Hennessy got a comifiand
mg air on him, and with the other three
men behind him, marched no to the guard.
•‘Who goes there i” exclaimed the guard.
"Lieut. Jone 6 of the Third battalion and
a detail returning from the hotel with a
prisoner,” -aid Hennessey. The guard didn't
know exactly what to do, so he called for the
Ulcer of the guard. The officer was about
as green as the man, but he suspected some
th! g a id asked fur the names of the party.
“I'm Lisut. Jones,” said Hennessey, "and
this is and he gave some fictitious
name to the man on each side of the sup
posed prisoner. "What's the prisoner’s
name?'’ said the officer.
“I don’t know; he didn’t give his name,”
sat i Hennessey, who.e supply of names had
given out.
"Prisoner, what’s your name?”
“I don’t know, you don’t know, nobody
don't know, I’ve eat my tag,” replied the
paeude-prisoner.
“arrest him again.”
“Shut up, you fool," commanded Hen
nessy. "Arrest that man over again,
officer. ”
" Well, what do I have to do?” said the
green otiioer of the guard. "You see I
never had just Buch a case before.”
“Why, turn out the guard and salute us
and we'll return the salute and pass down
the line.”
Tbo officer did as he was told and Hen
nessy marched his squad into camp. This
was a favorite trick for 'he boys to play on
the officers of the regiment. John Hardee
started in with a crowd one
night, and when challenged by the
gutrJ, explained that be was the officer
making the grand rounds. The guard
allosid his squad to pa-s, but he had : ot
gone rn feat further before he ran against
a sung in the shape of Capt. Fields, who
halted them.
CAPT. FIELDS FOOLED.
Hardee gave him the same explanation he
bad given the guard.
“What officer are you?” demanded Capt.
Fields.
“Lieut. Hardee of Company C,’’ boldly
replied Ilard.-e. He happened to have the
countersign, and so Capt. Fields couldn’t
hold him. Ho took Lieut. Hardee’s name
down any way, aud next morning he went
down to the Guards camp and inquired for
L ent. Hardee of Cos. C. “There’s no such
man in the battalion,” replied Capt. Reilly,
and Hardee was safe. He did not try it
again, however. The boys have reminis
cences enough to last them six months.
The Guards were considerably elated over
the sale o{ their lot to the government. The
first news they had of it was a telegram
received by Cos! Garrard from Savannah
just as the battalion was going down to take
the train forborne, The announcement was
received with cheers.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 2, IS9I.
ODT OF THE ARMY NOW.
Signal Observer Gorgas No Longer
a Sergeant, But a Private C tlzen.
Signal Observer G >rgas has been notified
of his transfer from the war department to
the weather bureau of the agricultural de
partment. He is a "sergeant” no longer,
but is simply a private citizen. He L will
ing to dispense with a title which was only
a title, however, because he is no loader
compelled to obey an order transferring
him from the frozen wastes of North Da
kita to tne sweltering regions of the South
Atlantic. . . . .
About 300 other obs-rvers and assistant ob
servers are transferred in like manner from
the war department to the agricultural
department. This is in accordance with an
act of congress passed Oct. 2, 1390, to
transfer the signal service corps from the
war to the agricultural department,
this bei g the department to which It more
properly belonged, as its chief services at
present are rendered in giving inf rmation
concerning the weather for tbe benefit of
commerce and agriculture. It is n"W tbe
weather bureau of the agricultural depart
ment.
The connection of the weather prophets
with the army has f >r some time appeared
rather rem te to the common mind. This
service, however, originated in the army
and was chiefly used at first for giving
signals a' long distance*. Tbe observation
of the weather at the various signal stations
and the forecasts of probable changes soon
became a very important part of the work
aud was gradually extended, as its
benefits be ame apparent over tbe
whole country. Tuese signal service
stations are not simply of use for the in
formation they afford the localities in
which they are situated, but the weather
statistics collected are very valuable from
a scientific standpoint. The scientist who
has the observations of the weather
throughout the whole country, for a long
number of years, is able to gain a very
exact ides of the atmospheric conditions
and movements at the various seasons lb
this section of the world.
About fifty of the mesi skillful
observers will remain with the war
department and will form the
army signal service corps. Their work will
be mainly army signaling, consisting al
most altogether of holiograpio work, a sys
tem of suu signals by means of mirrors, by
which communication can be established
between two points elevated above the sur
face of the surrounding country at a dis
tance of forty to 100 miles apart. With
flash signals according to the Morse tele
graph code messages can be transmitted as
easily as by wire. Geo. AT W. Greeley
will remain in command of the army corps.
M. W. Herrington was yesterday ap
pointed chief of the weather bureau of the
agricultural department. Mr. Herrington
was editor-in-chief of the American
Meteorological Journal of Ann Arbor.
Mich., and director of the astronomical
observatory of the Ann Arbor college.
M. G. lienno of Albany, N. Y., has ar
rived, and is now engaged in assisting Mr.
Gorges in the signal office in Sa
vannah. He takes the place of Mr. Denson
who was promoted to a position at Albany.
The daily weather reports for the Morning
News will now be resumed. These reports
form a most interesting feature of the
piper and are looked for with a great deal
of interest by most of the readers of the
paper, especially those interested in cotton
and other crop*.
TO MAKE TRAVEL SAFES.
U. 3. Inspectors Looking After Viola
tors of the Steamboat Laws.
The United States inspectors of steam
vessels have begun an inspection of the
vessels of Savannah and this inspection dis
trict, with a view to the better enforoemeut
of the steamboat laws.
The steamer Progress, of the Savannah
and Brunswick route, was ordered under re
pairs yesterday, and the muster’s and pilot's
license was suspended for sixty days.
Capt. W. G. Lae, the recently appointed
inspector of hulls, hassignilised his entrance
upon office by a determination to secure a
proper safety to the lives of passengers by a
vigorous enf roemeut of the laws of the
steamboat service.
The inspection of the Pro
gress yesterday showed that the
vessel was running without the ordinary
means of protection against fire. Her decks
were rotten and her life boat was unfit for
use. The steamer was ordered repaired be
fore leaving port, but later was allowed to
go out with tue repairs In progress on the
trip.
The inspectors are determined to enforoe
a rigid compliance with all the laws pro
viding for the safety of passenger travel.
F. H. Hickey, 1208 Main street, Lynch

TO BE DEDICATED SUNDAY.
lhs Roman Catholto Church atTybee
Completed.
The Cathollo church at Tybee has been
completed and will be dedicated Sunday at
11 o’clock. Bishop Becker will probably
perform the ceremony. He is out of the
city, but was telegraphod yesterday that
the church was ready. In case he does not
return Vicar-General Cafferty will officiate.
A solemn high mass will be oeiebrated
and a full choir will be In attendance. The
Catholic clergymen of the city will be pres
ent. The dedication service is one of the
most beautiful and interesting ceremonies
of the Catholio ohurch. No doubt a big
crowd of people will be in attendance.
NO SEITLEMENT YET.
The Cluts Willing to Pay License But
Don’t Want to Close Sundays.
The club liquor lioense question still re
mains unsettled. Tbo clubs are willing to
pay the license, but they are not willing to
j to became amenable to the Sunday law as to
closing. This is the point on which the
negotiations hitch.
Mayor McDonough contends that the
! clubs have no more right to keep their bare
open on Sunday than saloon keepers. He
1 insists n their not only paying license hut
also conforming to the Sunday law.
A Case of Highway Robbery.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Benjamin Dryfus
sent a little colored girl to her dressmaker
with three fine drees patterns. While the
girl was crossing the park extension a tall
mulatto grabbed the cloth out of her hand
and ran off. The girl made an outcry, but
the mulatto made his escape. She will be
able to recognize him if she sees him again.
The case has been placed in the hands of
Detective Wetherhorn.

EDWARD M. GREEN FAILS
J. K. GARNETT APPO NTED TEMPO
RARY RECEIVER.
H B. Bolllrs & Co.’a Claims Foot Up
SIOI.OOO-The Rec iver Appointed
Upon Hollins & Co.’s Petition-
Green’s L'abilitlee Estimated at
$125,000, and Assets $40,000
! Other Claims Coming In—Comer &
Cos. Se'ze Sixty Ea es of Cotton in
' Shipment.
The financial troubles of Edward M.
Green culminated yesterday in the appoint
ment by Judge Falligant of J. K. Garnett
temporary receiver. The appointment was
made on tbe petition of H. B. Hollins &
Cos. of New York, who hold claims agaiast
Green for $101,365 SO.
Tbe petition states that Green is indebted
to Hollins it Cos. for $35,705 80 for moneys
advanced upon drafts drawn upon the New
York house, and £11,500, amounting in
American currency to $55,660, for foreign
bills of exchange drawn upon the Bank of
Liverpool, aud which were bought by Hol
lins Sc Cos. at their face value. The total
amount $91,365 80, besides interest, has ma
tured and is unsecured. Hollins & Cos. state
that they de r.anded payment which was
refused. This unsecured indebtedness
equals one-third of Green's unsecured ma
tured and unpaid debts.
The other indebtedness to the New York
firm is SIO,OOO on promissory notes, secured
by sixty-two stares of the capital stock of
the United Hydraulic Cotton Dress Com
pany, and forty shares of Savannah Bank
and Trust Company stock.
AN INJUNCTION ASKED FOR.
Hollins & Cos. claim that Green is insol
vent and they filed the bill for a receiver on
behalf of themselves and such other creditors
as may hereafter be made parties.
An injuction was also asked for, and was
granted, to prevent Green from disposing of
his assets.
The reoeiver. in tbe language of the bill,
is "to look after the collection and preser
vation of tbe assets, real, personal and
mixed, legal or equitable, of the defendant,
and the distribution and division t ereof
pro rata among the creditors, preserving all
existing liens.”
Judge Falligant fixed the bond of the tem
porary receiver at SIO,OOO and ordered
Green to show cause July 11 why a perma
nent receiver should not be appointed.
Dun’s Mercantile Ageucy places Green’s
liabilities at $125,000, with assets of about
$40,000. It Is understood that the family
residence on Madison square and a rice
plantation iu Mclntosh county are included
in the assets. These, however, are subject
to three mortgages, one to the Central
Railroad Bank for SIO,OOO and the others to
the Bavaunah National Bank for $15,406
and to Capt. John Flannery for $4,200,
making a total of s'j!),6oo.
EFFORT TO TIDE OVBR.
It Was thought ter a day or two that
the house would ti* able to tide over tbe
crnbarrussnient. The sum required, how
ever, so laygo that it was impossible
undey the present condition of tbe money
market to skdure it.'
The failure was not unlooked for among
business men, although it was generally
expected that it would take the form of an
assignment. The troubles of the Green
house have been the principal topic among
business men since last week.
Tbe failure is one of tbe largest that bas
ocourred in Savannah in a long time. The
liabilities may foot up even more than that
reported by Dun’s.when all the claims are
in.;
COTTON SEIZED ON SHIPBOARD.
Before the appoin tmer.t of a receiver
Deputy Sheriff P. L. Constantine of the city
court held up thACity of Birmingham for
an hour and a half behind her schedule
time on a writ ox bail in trover by H. M.
Comer & Cos., against the Ocean Steamship
Company for sixty bales of cotton on board
as the property of Green. As the cotton
was deep down in the hold, and it would
have caused great delay to unship it, the
matter was arranged by tho Ocean Steam
ship company giving bond to return the
ootton to Savannah and deliver it to the au
thorities here.
A FIEND’S UGLY WORK.
A Nerro Brutally Assaults a Bulloch
cokHity Woman.
RarteC m ffaifoioiL colored, who was in
the employ of ej. %V. Williams & Cos., on
tjieir turpentine fprm in Bulloch county,
made a fiendish attempt Tuesday morning
on Mrs. Mock, a trspectable white woman,
a sister nf Remei l !*Mie, who lives in the
neighborhood of Williams & Co.’s still.
Garrison drove upfejto Mr. Mock’s house,
who was away from home, stopped his
team and entered the house and seined Mrs.
Mock, at the same time telling her his pur
pose.
Mrs. Mock resisted the negro as best she
could, being in a delicate condition, until
he became frightened by the passing of a
couple cf teams from Williams &. Co.’s still.
He left the house hastily and returned to
his wagon, telling the meu to take charge
of his team, as he had to
return to the camp. He went to the camp,
got his valise, and leaving, then made off in
t ed rectionof station No. on the Central
railroad, crossing the Little Ugeechee river
at Flatford.
In toe meantime Mrs. Mock, having
escaped the dutches of the negro through
the timely arrival of the two wagons, after
recovering from the shock, gave
the alarm, and the men in the neighborhood
at once started in pursuit.
About noon Garrison was tracked to with
in about one and a half miles from Tuscu
lum, but there he changed his course aud
going around that place made oil in the
direction of Guyton, where it is said he
has relatives.
Garrison is described a9 black, of slender
build, with thick lips, weighs about 140
pounds, is about 19 years old and talks with
a brogue peculiar to the South Carolina sea
coast negross. He is formerly from South
Carolina and is regarded as a desperate
character
It is said this was Garrison's second at
tempt of the kind. The pursuing party was
on the Effingham side of the river night
before last ana yesterday morning.

THE LAST DEMOCRAT IN ITALY.
Hon. William Wallace Jones’ Return
From the Messina Consulate.
Hon. William Wallace Jones, formerly of
Savannah, but now a residont of Jeff, rs in
county, Florida, near Monticollo, was in the
city yesterday.
Mr. Jones was United States consul
to Messina under Cleveland’s adminis
tration, and served two yeirs un
der the present administration. He was
the last democratio appointee to the Italian
consulates, and was removed by President
Harrison, who has now made a clean sweep
of President Cleveland’s appointments. He
was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Brush, of South
Dakota.
Mr. Jones left Messina May 15, by the
steamer Caledonia,for New York via Gibral
tar. An accident to the vessel’s machinery
disabled her, and she was twenty-four days
at sea, arriving in New York June 8, after
an eventful voyage.
Mr. Jones is a careful student of men and
affairs. His occupancy of the Messina
consulate showed him to be a thorough busi
ness man. During his term of office the
receipts of his consulate were more than
doubled.
Mr. Jones bad every opportunity from
hH position, and by reason of his member
ship in the clubs of Messina, to know the
feeling of the Italian people there concern
ing the New Orleans trouble. While any
discus-ion of the subject in the clubs was
studiously avoided in his presence, Mr.
Jones said the general feeling of the peoule
was that Italy had got rid of a lot of unde
sirable subjects. The gentlemen classes in
Italy, Mr. Jones said, are all
lawyers and a disputatious people,
and the fad of the day is the study of
constitutional law aud states’ rights.
The relations between the United lata* 63
government and the individual states was
the auestion of the hour when Mr. Jones
left Italy.
Mr. Jones spent yesterday with friends in
Savannah and left last night for his home
in Florida.

The Americanized Encyclopaedia Brl
tannlca
Is valuable because it is accurate, because it
is modern, because it has rejected the
worthless and preserved the necessary, be
cause it brings the history of science, litera
ture, commerce, geography and discovery,
and the —lental and moral development of
the race down to the year 1890. In its ten
large octavo volumes will be found an
amount of interesting and profitable read
ing of incalculable value to the busy man.
The historical record of every country of
the world, of every state and oity of the
union, is brought down to the current
year. Its statistical matter is invaluable,
for it Is taken from tho very latest effloial
returns in all oases. An additional interest
attaches to the Americanized Encyclopae
dia in that it is prepared in America for
Americans, aud that, while paying ail due
attention to the grand record of oldeu days,
it has devoted ample space to the story of
the present, the most important and pro
gressive of all the centuries. The traditions
of a mythical past, the hoary records of a
remote antiquity, are not permitted to
usurp the space which is needed for a
description of the history and the inven
tions of modern days. Not that Grecian lit
erature or Babylonian inscriptions, or the
story of Aucient Egypt, or of the Dark
Ages and the Renaissance, have been ig
nored or neglected. All 'hat is valuable on
these subjects has been retained, stripped of
encumbering and labored word-painting.
And, to briug the book into line with mod
ern thought, the most recent discoveries of
science, the gigantio growth of commerce
and manufactures, the political and moral
awakening of the world of to-day have been
added. Thus the Americanized Encyclope
dia Britannica offers to the people of Amer
ica a work so full, so condensed, so thorough
in its historical record, so crowded with the
latest information, so accurate and relia
ble, that in this one work alone the reader
possesses a library.
Tho Morning S*ws is enabled to offer
this great work at a price within the reach
of all ; S2B cash secures the Encyclopaedia and
the Daily Mormno News one year. For
