NINETY-TWO YEARS OLD.
The Guards Celebrate Their Four
Score and Twelve.
The Battalion Parades With Pour
Companies and the Largest Number
of Men It Has Paraded Since Its
Organization Nearly a Century Ago
—Col. Garrard Congratulates the
Corps-A Collation in Honor of the
Day.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards cele- j
brated their 92d anniversary yesterday j
by the largest parade in the history of
the corps. There were eighteen more
men in line than on the former most cele
brated parade of the corps in 1858, when |
the Guards, then a single company, turned
out 198 men. Yesterday there were 216
in line, rank and file, as shown by the ad
jutant’s report. The figures are as
follows: Staff 4. Company A 58, Company
B 59, Company C 53, Company D 42. Total
216.
A number of members of the battalion
employed at the Central 1 railroad and else
where was unable to obtain leave of
absence, otherwise the ranks would have
been swelled by a score or more of men.
Old war members of the corps who have
not paraded in years were out in the
ranks in service uniforms. The friends
of the corps as well as the members were
greatly delighted at the show
ing and their confidence in its
future is unbounded. Col. Garrard was
delighted, as he had good reason to be,
at the success af the event to which he
has devoted so much effort.
IS TOUR COMPANIES.
The occasion was made remarkable by
the parading of the battalion for the first
time in its history as four companies.
The fourth company showed up in fine
form. The men carried themselves well,
and no one not acquainted with the fact,
would have supposed it was their first
parade. Capt. Gadsden and his officers
have labored hard, and their success is
deserved.
The companies assembled in the drill
hall at 3:15 o'clock All were delighted
at the full ranks displayed by each com
pany as it entered the hall. Company D
was the last company to enter and was
greeted with prolonged applause, con
cluding with three cheers and a tiger for
the new company.
Col. Garrard addressed a few words to
the battalion, cautioning the men to be
careful in all details of military bearing
in order that thero might not be a single
circumstance to mar the success of the
occasion.
THE PARAPH.
The companies then filed out on Bull
street, where the battalion was formed in
the order of the companies, B, C. I) and
A. The members of the staff were Lieu
tenants Freeman. Bryan and l.eaken.
Every company officer was present.
The line of march from the arsenal was
down Bull street to Liberty, west on
Liberty to Jefferson, down Jefferson to
Broughton, east on Broughton to Bull,
and out Bull to the west side of Wright
square, where the battalion passed in re
view of the confederate veterans. It
then escorted the veterans to the confed
erate monument.
At the conclusion of the exercises at
the monument, Col. Garrard drilled the
battalion for a half hour on the parade
grouud. The parade was witnessed by
thousands of friends of the Guards, who
praised their fine appearance. The ap
pearance of the four companies in the
service uniform of camp, hats, blue shirts,
wob belt, jeans trousers and leggins, was
quite striking aud thoroughly military.
THE COLLATION.
After the return to the arsenal the men
divested themselves of their arms and
equipments and repaired to the drill hall
where they had been invited to partake
of a collation by Col. Garrard. A num
ber of confederate veterans and former
memberß of the corps were present by in
vitation.
The two hours' exercise had given the
men hearty appetites and a heavy on
slaught was made upon the eatables and
drinkables. Tho impromptu exercises
which followed were quite interesting.
Lt, Bryan called the attention of the
corps to the very successful parade and
moved that a vote of thanks be returned
to the oommar.der. Cot. Garrard. There
was a thunderous response of ayes to the
motion, followed bv ,-alis for Col. Gar
rard. In responding to tho call, the
colonel said he was under obligations to
the members of the corps lor the spirit
which they had displayed in the celebra
tion of it* Hal anniversary.
SOT MANY AS OLD COMMANDS.
“There are not many men,” he said,
"who can say of their commands that
they are 93 years old. This corps has had
a continuous history for that length of
time. On May 1, 1802, the corps paraded
on the streets of Savannah under the
command of John Cunning. Since that
time its history has been an integral part
of the history of 1-avaniuih. Blot out
the history of this corps, and you blot out
half the history of Bnvaimah.
“With such a record as this corps has
had in the past it cannot fail of success in
the future. 1 was delighted to-day to see
310 men in the uniform of the corps. This
is not a friendly estimate but an actual
count.
“The corps is old in years but young in
vitality, and as youthful as when it first
began its history, [t notv hnR a member
ship of over 800 men of the military class
active, exempt, honorary aud veteran, all
sub net to tho cull of the corps. *
“In eight years the corps will celebrate
its centennial, and I trust that tho cele
bration will be worthy of the event, and
that a largo number of those present to
day will be with us on that occasion ”
Col. Garrard concluded by proposing a
toast to tho confederate veterans, the
“men who have made history,” and called
upon Col. Olmstead to respond.
Col. Olmstead was greeted with ap
plause as he earao forward. He said tho
call was an unexpected pleasure.
“The French have .an express
ion,” ho said, -’which applies
on this occasion, “noblesse oblige,
the nobility of the past obliges us
to maintain an honorable record in the
future.”
THE GUAIIDS AT PULASKI.
Col. Olmstead told of the first service
which he had performed with tin: guards,
the taking of Fort Pulaski by detach
ments from the Guards, the Chatham
Artillery and the Oglethorpe Light In
fantry-. commanded by Gen. Farston,
then a colonel.
Speaking of the detachment, he said:
“A nobler sot of young men never left tho
city of Savannah.”
“There need bo no fear for the honor of
tho state,” said Col. Olmstead in con
clusion. “so long as its soldiery Is com
posed of such young men ns comiiose this
command.”
Gen. A. U. Lawton was called for and
responded. Gen. Luwton said that he
had known tho Guard* longer than most
of them had known themselves, aud he
had never known them when they had not
cornu up to all good expectations
Gen. Lawton told in detail the history
of the capture of Fort Pulaski
alluded to by Col. Olmstead.
He said that this incident had often
been alluded to as a bloodless and inglori
ous acnievement. Asa matter of fact,
he said, it was a most serious affair, not
because of the immediate danger involved,
but because of the possible consequences
Ihe statu had not then seceded, and had
It not seceded all who took part in tho
affair stood the risk of being hung as
traitors it was only after a lengthy con
ference between the governor of the
state and the military officers that
the undertaking was decided upon, the
decision being hastened by advices re
ceived from Washington that ttie fort
was about to be fortified uy the govern
ment.
A TRIBUTE TO BARTOW.
Gen. Lawton paid a high tribute to
Francis L. Bartow and indorsed the
movement to erect a monument to his
memory in Savannah
Judge Falligant was called upon to re
spond to the toast of "Woman'' which ho
did in a 'very witty manner. He
gave some further incidents
in connection with the Pu
laski Guards, to whom he paid
tribute in his speech at the monument.
The Pulaski Guards were an offshoot
from the Volunteer Guards, and many of
the brave heroes of the company named
by Judge Falligant were former members
of the battalion.
Col. John Screven responded to numer
ous calls. He congratulated the Guards
upon the successful celebration of the
anniversary of the corps. He had been
anxious to know, he said, if
the corps would excel its pa
rade of 1858, when the company
of which he was then commander, pa
raded 198 men. Its great rivals, the Ke
pubiican Blues, however, paraded 199
meu. It was charged. Col. Screven said,
that the Blues had dug up some
of their old members from the cemetery
and put uniforms on them.
Col. Screven gave an account of a most
interesting historic incident, being no less
a fact than that the ground where the
Guards arsenal now stands was the scene
of one of the bloody conflicts of the revolu
tion. Col George Walton and his command
of 100 Georgians having been surprised in
the rear there by a large force of British
and New York volunteers. Col. Walton
was wounded and raptured and his com
mand almost annihilated. This was on
Dec. ’JO, 1778.
Col. Campbell, of the British army, had
landed, with 2,000 regulars aud a number
of New York volunteers, and marched
unon the city from along the Charleston
road. The main force of the patriot army,
about 600 strong, was entrenched about
where the Savannah. Florida and West
ern railway round-house now stands,
extending across to the present Lawton's
field.
The British commander was informed
by a negro of a path by which he could
take the patriot force in the rear.
He pursued this route with the
disastrous results to the
patriots relnted by Col. Screven.
The map and papers describing this in
cident are now in possession of the Geor
gia Historical Library’.
Impromptu speeches were made by sev
eral others present. Among the veteran
members of tho Guards who were in line
in the afternoon, were Capt. John K. Dil
lon, James C. Cornell. Malcolm McLean,
W. J. Marshall, Capt. John Reilly. L. C.
Strong, H. G. Black and George C. Hey

75th Anniversary.
The Savannah Lodges Mark the Three
Quarter Centennial With Imposing
Ceremonies —The Exercises at Odd
Fellows Hall—Speeches, by Promi
nent Members of tho Order—The
Grand Sire’s Proclamation.
The 75th anniversary of Odd Fellow
ship was appropriately celebrated by the
Odd Fellows of Savannah last night.
The spacious assembly hall of the Odd
Fellows’ building was filled to its utmost
capacity when the exercises began at
8:30 o'clock, and the crowd overflowed
into the supper room adjoiuing and the
corridors outside. The gallery was
packed to overflowing.
There were not less than 1,200 people
present. Nearly half were ladies, and
their presence added much to the festiv
ity of the scene.
The gathering was a thoroughly repre
sentative one, aud the fact that such an
audience could be gathered on the occa
sion was itself a magnificent tribute to
the Odd Fellows of Savannah.
The exercises began witfi the opening
ode by the choir, followed by prayer by
the grand chaplain, Rev. L. C. Vass,

TIIE GRAND WARDEN'S ADDRESS.
Grand warden A. N. Manucy pre
sided ai chairman of the anniversary
committee. The first address was the "In
troduetory" by Mr. A. N. Manucy. He
paid an eloquent tribute to Odd Fellow
ship, in which he said:
Heueticlal organizations, like the one whose
natal day we have assembled to commemor
ate have become important factors In the
progress of civilization.
'the power permeates every land, and few
indeed, are the civilized communities which
have not been benefited by their moral influ
ences.
To day American Odd Fellowship, with
its 11,000 lodges and 800.000 members, is cele
brating the 7Mh anniversary of its birth.
This wonder ot the nineteenth century has
kept pace with the marvelous achievements
of the age Its permanency is assured; its
toner,ts and principals are enshrined in the
hearts of its membership, and will live for
ever. Undor the inexorad e law of death and
decay, the nations of the earth shall perish
and their names be forgotten of men; but the
principles of Odd Fellowship arc eternal.
They will teach men un old creed
clothed in anew garb—the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man—and it will com
pel the recognition of an admiring world.
The temple of Odd Fellowship will never
crumble, its foundation is stone, is friendship
and upon this is reared the twin towers of
love and truth, spannwl with the enduring
arch of faith and hope, and surmounted with
the cap stone of charity. When we consider
the achievements of the past, the stupendous
work already accomplished, what may we not
hope for the future?
IN EVERY CORNER OF TIIB UNION.
Already has the t anner of our order been
unfurled In every state and territory In the
union It gleams among the palms and
orange groves of Florida and brightens the
pine forests of distant, Maine: the morning
light, as it struggles through the mists of the
Atlantic, kisses its soft folds, and the
sun lingers lovingly upon it as he
sinks to rest in the Pacific; It has crossed the
cactus-covered plains of Mexico and floats
proudly over the land of the Montezumas;
the storm shakes It fiercely on bleak Nova
Scotian shores, aud tho langurous breezes of
the Hnwnitan Isles stir gently its mystic
folds: it shinps like a beacon on the rock
bo ind coast of New Hrunswiclt, and Hut
ters brightly In the soft winds of tropical
Cuba; it rides upon the wild storms of Mani
toba. and files exultant over the snow clad
fields of Canada; it has invaded Chill, and
has been planted In the utmost region of the
very north, and so it goes in its onward
march of fraternizing the world.
ACROSS TUB OCEANS.
It has already sailed upon the broad Pacific
nnd conquered the young continent
of Australia in tho southern seas; it
has forced Its wav over the turoulant
Atlantic and the mystic letters upon Its folds
have conquered the Danes and swedes; ills
already shining like a tow of promise over
the domes of sunny France; it has climbed
the Alps, and little Switzerland Is proud of
Its advent; the helmeted hosts of Germany
are already marching beneath it.
and the vast domain of the
haughty czar shall soon feel and know
its power; it will soon cross the Pyrenees and
enter glorious Spain, and then pass over the
Adriatic and the Kmperor of Austrla-wlll do
it homage; It will be wafted over the Mediter
ranean nqd the crescent will go down before
It; and in the valley of the ancient Nile It
will startle the impassive sphinx as It floats
from the pyramids of Egypt. The natives of
the earth will how beneath it, but its mission
will not he accomplished until one law shall
govern all tongues and kindred of the earth,
and that law shall be the law of universal
brotherhood.”
GRAND SIRES.
Tho anniversary proclamation was
read by Past Grand J. S. Silva.
PROGRESS OF TUB ORDER.
Past Grand T. D. Rockwell, of Ogle
thorpe Lodge No. 1 delivered an address

MAJ. MELDHIM’S LETTER.
Maj. P. \V. Meldrim was to have re
sponded to the subject, “Objects of Odd
Fellowship.” in behalf of Live Oak
Lodge No. 3 but was compelled to be

Maj. Meldrim:
1 ear Sir and Brother:—l am compelled to

sary absence for 1 made an earnest
effort to return from Montgomery county
in order to be here this evening, but
while L succeeded In getting home. It was
only to find that I was again compelled to
leave. I did very much desire to speak to
our brothers on (he objects of Odd Fellow
ship. and to urge that honest striving to at
tain them, which has resulted in so much
good to humanity, and to impress upon them
the grout truth that “No friendship can cn
dure the test that stands on sordid interest
or mean self love.” Fraternally .vour-,
P. W. Mr, i drim
Mat. Meldrim’s absence was greatly re
gretted, as much pleasure had been antic
ipated from his address.
CONGRESSMAN LESTER’S REGRETS.
The following letter from Congressman
Ixtstcr. a member of Live Oak T-odge, was
received by the chairman;
Washington. D. C.. April 25. 1394. Mr. A.
N. Manuey. Chairman: J S. Silva, Secretary.
Leotlemen—Accept my thanks for the invita
tion to attend the celebration of the Seventy
fifth anniversary of Independent Order of
Odd Fellows on April 26 l must express my
sincere regret lha; 1 am obliged to forego the
pleasure of being with you on that occasion.
My public duties, as you are well aware, re.
quire my presence hero and prevent my ac
ceptance of vour kind invitation.
Yours truly.
Kurus K. Fester.
The solo. “Waiting Heart,” by Mrs. S.
L. Outten, with violin obligato by Prof.
Leon, recived much merited applause.
THE CENTRAL LINK.
The address. “Love,-the Central Link.”
was resjionded to by P. G. J. R, Saussy,
of DeiCalb lodge. -Mr. Saussy’s
theme was love, the link between
friendship and truth, together the three
grand pillars of Odd Fellowship, and his
address illustrated this idea. Mr. Saussy s
subject gave lull play to nis witty imagi
nation. and was very much enjoyed by
his audience.
Mrs. May Silva's solo, the “New Kihg
dom" received continued applause, but
Mrs. Silva responded to the encore merely
with a bow.
Mr Henry McAlpin was down for a
"humorous’’ address. He said that he
fainted when called ujon for an address
of this character and was only brought to
by extraordinary exertions upon the part
of the committee. He then proceeded to
make a really humorous address. Mr.
McAlpin gave several illustrations of wit
and humor, introducing some of ids own.
Humor, he said, is always the absolute
truth, a ludicrous description of an actual
occurrence.
Wit, on the contrary, is an exaggeration
of facts.
Mr. McAlpin’s remarks were very
much enjoyed.
An instrumental trio was ronderad by
Miss Emma Coburn, Mr. M. Coburn and
Prof. J. E. Osborn—on piano violin
and cornet.
PRACTICAL ODD FELLOWSHIP.
One of the brightest addresses of the
evening was bv Mr. \V. W. (Jordon, Jr.,
of Haupt Lodge, upon "Practical Odd
Fellowship.” Mr. Gordon discussed the
strength of the tie of Odd Fel
lowship in war and in peace.
During the great and bloody
conflict whose memorial day was yester
day, he said that the tie of Odd Fellow
ship had not been broken. In peace it
waits beside the bedside of the sick and
dying, comforts the distressed and af
flicted, and affords relief to the widow
and the fatherless. Mr. Gordon promised
the ladies that they ran no risk in allow
ing their husbands' brothers and sons to
become Odd Fellows.
The solo, “Spring Tide.” by Mrs.
Schreiner was one of the treats
of the evening. Mrs. Schreiner
responded to the liberal encore
with the Swedish Yolk song, which was
received with loud applause.
"Our Order's Hope. Its Young Men,”
was tho subject of a brief address by W.
P. I-a Roche, Esq., of Acorn Lodge. Mr.
Laßoehe said it was the young men who I
were taking tho lead in Odd Fellowship 1
to-day. As an illustration, he mentioned
the names of Russell of Athens. Daniel of
Griffin, Berry of Americus, ami Manucy
of Savannah. The glory and the life
of the order, he said, was its
young men, and upon them it depends
to maintain untarnished the principles of
the order and to continue iu the future
the great work of the past. No true man,
he said, could help but be ennobled and
elevated by the teachings of the order.
He called upon the ladies to assist the
order in carrying forward its good work.
The solo, “She Told Me I Was Dream
ing.” was admirably rendered by Mr. H.
\V. Readick.
This concluded the programme. The
hall was cleared for dancing, which con
tinued for several hours.
The Odd Fellows have reason to feel
gratified at the entire success of their
celebration.
The souvenir programmes of the occa
sion were very pretty and unique, and
were much sought after.
THE COUNTY DRAINAGE.
A Thorough Inspection to Be Made
by a Committee From the Grand
Jury.
The drainage committee from the
superior court grand jury, composed of
Messrs. Martin Cooley, chairman; Lau
ney, Carmichael, McGlashan and Harri
son is making a thorough aud efficient in
spection of the drainage both of the
county and the city.
Mr. Charles F. Prendergast, foreman
of the grand Jury, is also taking an active
interest in the work. The committee
spent a day this week in making an ex
tensive inspection of the drainage of the
county east of the Waters road and south
of Estill avenue. One of the committee
said yesterday that it found the county
drainage work much better than it had
anticipated, and that the work fully met
its approbation.
“We will take in the balance of the
work south and west of the city within
the next few days,” he said. "We are
going to make a thorough examination of
all the drainage work, both within the
city and without. The drainage is one of
the most important branches of the coun
ty work, and wo intend to devote all tho
time possible to it. Mr. Prendergast, the
foreman, is very enthusiastic over the
work, and is anxious to see that the
drainage of the city and the county
is not neglected. The grand jury will
probably act on the matter, and report
the facts where it has not been done prop
erly.”
THE CONVICT CAMPS.
The City Court Grand Jury’* Present
ment* To-day.
The grand jury of the city court will
meet to-day and will mako its general
presentments. The conduct of the chain
gangs has occupied a good deal of the
grand Jury’s attention through the inves
tigation of tho Bunge case, and tho
thorough investigation of the camps, and
it is expected that there will bo some im
portant recommendations in reference to
their condition and management.
A special committee of the grand jury
visited all the camps and public works
where convicts are employed and the
poor farm, and made a thorough examin
ation of their condition with a view to
making such recommendations as might
seem advisable.
□ln view of the fact that the grand jury
of the superior court is also investigating
the condition of the coavicts tho present
ments to bo made to-day will have an im
portant bearing.

rades of the dead, to add another tribute
to those paid in years gone by.
Gathered around the wreathed and
garlanded monument, they listened to
words of eloquent, praise and honor
from a beloved comrade, whose presence
with them in the battles in Virginia
gave him great {tower to appeal to their
sympathies and affections as well as
I their reason. Impressed upon the minds
-of the younger generations hy words
like those of Judge Falligant's, the worth
and deeds of the confederate dead will
never be forgotten.
WREATHED IN EVERGREENS.
The confederate monument in the pa
rade ground was very prettily decorated
through the efforts of the ladies’ auxil
iary of the veterans association.
The docorations covered the monument
from summit to base. Upon the bayonet
of the gun held by the soldier’s statue
which crowns the monument, hung a
wreath of evergreens. Down each side
hung garlands of cedar and evergreens
interspersed with wreaths.
The principal decoration was upon the
north side of the monument, on which
side stood the speaker’s stand. The de
sign was that for which the ladies' aux
iliary had offered a prize, a Jackson
medal, which was awarded to Willie
Broom, a scholar of the public schools.
Underneath the cross of white flowers
and evergreens hung a wreath sim
ilarly made. Below these and near
the base of the monument were
two swords of flowers and ever
greens crossed, on each side of which was
a flag of the confederacy. Around on the
other sides of the monument were gar
lands and wreaths prettily arranged, and
there was a beautiful profusion of flow
ers at the base of the monument. At
each corner of the monument at its base
were stands of arms stacked and covered
with wreaths.
THE MARCH TO THE MONUMENT.
The confederate veterans began to as
semble in Wright square, at the Armory
hall, before 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and by4:.‘to they were in line and
ready to move.
The veterans were in command of Col.
C. H. Olmstead, president of the associ
ation. 'they were divided into two com
panies, after the columns had been formed
by Adjutant White. The first company
was in command of Maj. G. M. Kyals, the
first vice president, and the second in
command of Judge William D. Harden,
the second vice president.
Exactly at 4:30 o'clock the Savannah
Volunteer Guards, 216 strong, marched
into the square and were halted on the
south side of it. In front of them was
the band. Next to the Guards came the
carriage containing the speaker, Hon.
Robert Falligant, Gen. U. 11. McLaws,
Capt. J. D. Johnston and Dr. L. C. Vass.
Col. Olmstead led the procession of the
veterans, of whom there were about 150
in line. Each of them carried a wreath
of laurel.
The lino of march was as direct to the
monument as it could be made, down
Bull street to Gaston, to Drayton, through
the parade ground to the monument.
AT THE MONUMENT.
Chairs were provided at the monument
Just in front of the speaker’s stand,
which was on the north side, for the la
dies of the auxiliary to the veterans’ as
sociation. Just back of these stood the
veterans, behind whom were the Guards.
Upon the speaker’s stand were Hon.
Robert Falligant, tho orator of the day,
Col. C. H. Olmstead, Judge William L).
Harden, Gen. U. H. McLaws, Gen. A. R,
Lawton, Capt. J. D. Johnston, Col. G. W.
Eamar. Gen. G. M. (Sorrel, P. Me-
Glashan and Dr. L. C. Vass.
Around the speaker's stand, and as
near as they could gather, were about
3,000 people, all anxious to hear the ad
dress Many were out in carriages.
Some disturbers, however, persisted in
keeping up such a noise around the edges
of the crowd that few of those who were
at any distance from the stand could
hear what was said, in fact, this was
the only feature of the day’s exercises
that was in any way unpleasant.
THE THIRTEEN STATES.
One of the prettiest and most attrac
tive features of the memorial exercises,
and one which is entirely new, was the
representation of the thirteen confederate
states by thirteen little girls This fea
ture was in charge of Miss Mary Apple
ton. The representatives of tho con
federate states were:
Miss May dußignon, Alabama.
Miss Lardie Nesbitt, Mississippi.
Miss Lucy Barrow, Georgia.
Miss Mary Rains, Florida.
Miss Mary Comer, Texas.
Miss Rosa Sullivan, Louisiana.
Miss Pearl Sullivan, Virginia.
Miss Nan NFsbitt. Arkansas.
Miss Lucy Boyd, North Carolina.
Miss Maggie Thompson, Tennessee.
Miss Marie Blois, Kentucky.
Miss Mary Hopps. Maryland.
Miss Carrie Nichols, South < arolina.
Tho little girls were all drersed in white
and were encircled with bands of red and
white, upon which were tho names of tho
states tney represented.
At the conclusion of tho spoaking Judge
Falligant was presented a handsome bou
quet of flowers from tho Ladies’Auxil
iary Association by Miss Lucy Barrow.
The veterans then pussod inside the mon
ument railing, where the little girls took
from them the wreaths of laurel and
placed them around the base of the monu
ment.
Judge eallioant’s speech.
Dr. Vass opened the exercises at the
monument with a fervent prayer, after
which the spe aker of the day. Hon. Rob
ert Falligant, was introduced by Col. C.
H. Olmstead.
Judge Falligant delivered an eloquent
address, paying a glowing tribute to the
heroes of the confederacy, and telling of
