Tampa, Fla., July 7.—Lieuts. Bacon and
Screven have returned for duty and com
manded their companies in the drill and
dress parade which followed this
tioon.
This morning the paymaster made his
appearance at the Second Georgia camps
*md at once commenced paying off the
men. The last one was handed the amount
due him by I o'clock this afternoon, and
Its all of the men drew a full month s pay,
they are feeling quite happy to-night.
The regimental march, which was billed
to have occurred to-day, * is postponed,
owing to the announcement that the pay
master would visit the camp.
To-morrow the brigade, consisting of the
Second Georgia, the Fifth Ohio and thB
Sixty-ninth New Y'ork, commanded by
Gen. Lincoln, will be marched a distance
of #ix miles, when the da\ w ill be devoted
to movements in the woods and In the
evening the regiment will return to their
reservations.
Since the the recruiting details were
eent about seventy-live recruits have
been secured and sent to the regiment. To
day information was received that about
twenty-five more had been secured and
that they were on their way here.
The regimental flags have not arrived
yet. They were sent by etpress and
have not been reported as arrived up to a
late hour this afternoon.
Wililam Carter, who accidentally caus
ed the death of Jerome Osierkamp, both
of the Fifth Maryland Regiment, has been
sentenced to one year's imprisonment at
Fort Thomas, Ky„ and th< forfeiture of
all pay due him, together with a dishon
orable discharge. He will leave to-mor
fow.
William Williams, a colored sergeant of
Troop M, Ninth Cavalry, died to-day of
typhoid fever.
Two Red Cross nurses have been detail
ed to care for the sick soldiers on Picnic
Island, who are suffering from typhoid
fever.
A large party of the Red Cross nurses
left to-night for Key West.
Any one who has an idea that
your Uncle Sam does not give
bis soldiers all that they can eat. in
the way of array fare, would have had
such thoughts dispelled from his head
had he been here this morning and seen
a train of twenty-three car loads of pork
and beans, being rushed through to Port
Tampa, where large supplies of provisions
and ammunition are being accumulated
upon the wharves to be loaded upon
transports as soon as they arrive. In this
train Joad of stuff the East and West
were brought closely together, though the
contents of the packages packed in the
cars. There was the pork of the Wqst
packed in cans with the beans of the
East, Chicago and Boston all mixed up
together, each doing its part in one gen
eral effort to put muscle into the frames
of the American soldier. The contents of
these cars to a great extent constitute
what is known as travel rations, as the
product is cooked before being packed,
and are considered a good healthful diet
to be stowed away under a soldiers shirt,
either cold or hot. When possible the
cans are put in hot water, and Ihe con
tents warmed up before they are eaten,
but on forced marches, or in traveling
from one point to another, where hot wa
ter can't be secured, the men open the
cans and devour them ravenously, never
stopping to consider that they would go
better when they are warm. The men are
very fond of them and your Uncle Sam
seems to be aware of this fact, as lie
keeps a large stock of them constantly on
hand. The soldier boys continue lo do
patrol duty here, and every night details
are sent out from the camps to patrol
the streets anil guard warehouses and
stores not only at Tampa, hut at Tampa
city and Port Tampa. At the latter place
among the immense quantity of supplies
piled up upon the wharves, can be seen a
great pile of eases of ammunition for
small arms marked “Second Georgia.”
This ammunition is there to lie placed on
transports as soon as they arrive, and they
are expected hourly, as official informa
tion has reached here that the transports
have already left Cuba for Port Tampa.
Now the fact that no definite informa
tion can l>e had here us to when the Geor
gia troops are going to be sent away, or
where they are going to, when they do go,
makes the discovery of this large pile of
ammunition banked up on the wharvett
at Port Tampa, quite suggestive, to say
the least. It certainly points very clearly
that the Second Georgia will be among
the next troops to leave here and that
when the command leaves it will not be
on its way to Savannah, but in the direc
tion of Cuba. Ammunition marked “Sec
ond Georgia" would not be sent to Port
Tampa and the troops for which this am
munition is intended either held iiefv or
sent to some other point. This is the way
the matter looks here. Some days ago
there was a well-founded rumor in circu
lation here, to the effect that Gen. Kline's
division, to which the Second Georgia is
attached, was about to be removed to Sa
vannah, to go aboard transports from New
York, which were headed south. Tills
report came from a reliable source and
was soon followed by an order to the reg
imental commanders of the division com
manded by Gen. Kline to get ready to
move at a moment's notice. Preparations
were at once made -Vo break tents, and
leave, but about the time when this pre
paratory work was concluded, the news
was flashed into Tampa that the Spanish
fleet had been destroyed by Sampson. Then
the talk of sending the irooi s lo Savan
nah with lightning speed faded from
view, and it is now said that the order re
ferred to lias been rescinded. To-day the
troops ere occupying their quarters as us
ual. going through their daily routine work
and wondering where they are at, as none
of them seem to know, and few of them
are bold enough to even make a sugges
tion as to the future movements of the sol
diers encamped here. With all this un
certainly, there is, however,
strong ground for the belief that the
stay of the troops here will depend only
upon the time necessary for the trans
ports lo get into port, be cleaned up and
throw out their gangways. Th* boats
*ire ordered and this being so, their ar
rival is looked for hourly. Every curl of
smoke that looms up in the distance off
Port Tampa is eyed closely until it can be
ascertained just what vessel furnishes it.
and until its identity is known, every one
predicts that Ihe'smoke is from some of
the fleet of transports returning from San
tiago.
Tiie boys of the Second are anxiously
waiting lo hear the pattering footsteps
of the ghost as he walks into the camp.
The ghost is the name by which the pay.
master of the army is best known with
the soldiers, and his arrival Is always
looked for anxiously, as it is generally the
case that when he gets there the ‘bovs
are bankrupt. The pay rolls were made
out. signed up and sent in on the first
of the month, and now, when the pay
master arrives, company after company is
marched up, the men placed in iitie, anil
paid off as fast as their names are reached
op the list. Yesterday four new paymas
ters reached Tampa from Washington.
Then, it is stated, will assist in paying
off tbo troops her. , and then go with the
next army of invasion to Cuba, and act
is paymasters there for ihe troops now
in Cuba and those which will be sent
t here.
The first d< nth in the camp of the Second
Georgia occurr- and a few days ago. The de-
C'-ased was Capt. Austin's pot dog. Ad
miral Dowry. While the captain was
away at tin ring’ recruits Admiral Dewey
was taken Id. Like a veteran, however,
lie refused to complain, and the only evi
dence that he was sick was
i . A he iof used to eat his meals regularly.
Jude- \V. t. however, attributed this fact
to fh> absence of Capt. Austin and seems
to think tlie admiral .lied from an over
dose of grief, brought on by the contin
ued absence of his master. The admiral
drew his last breath, untler the flooring
of the judge's lent, and the discovery <f
his death was made about noon wnen
the sun was gel ting in its beet work on
the rapidly decaying body of tae animal.
The judgd was enjoying a shprt nap.
when the odor indicating that something
was going wrong seemed to lx- making
a strong effort to raise the flooring of the
tent. This destroyed (he lieutenant’s sleep
and' after many sugestions as to the cause
of this record breaker among the many
queer odors that seem to hang about a
camp, and much investigation as to the
cause, the plank floor was removed, when
there curled up on the ground immediate
ly under the judge's tent was the dead
admiral. The announcement of his death
was sad news to the friends of the deal
admiral, many of whom he had watched
over, and protected since he became con
nected with the regiment. Arrangements
were at once made for the proper inter
ment of the remains, an ammunition case
was secured, and when the remains of
Ihe admiral had been wrapped in the col
ors of his country, under which
tie had fought, bled and died, they were
placed in the burial case, and given a de
cent burial. Several of the officers of the
Guards battalion, with whom Dewey was
quite popular, delivered short and feeling
addresses, recounting the admirable
quuitities of the dead admiral, showing
that he had never missed a meal when
in g.Ksi health, and that next* to the Dan
dy Queen of Spain, Dewey was Ihe finest
scrapper in the camp. The remains of
the .lead admiral rest in n grave at the
head of the company' street. Immediately
in the rear of Capt. Austin’s tent. A head
board marks the grave upon which is
read: “Admiral Dewey, R. I. P., 1898.”
And Vesting, crossed on the grave, are
two small flags of the Stars and Stripes.

DROUGHT BROKEN.
Orange Tree* at Candler, Fla., Grow
ing Finely.
Candler, Fla., July 6.—Heavy rains have
at last fallen generally throughout this
section this week. It was feared that the
crop would be ruined by the drought,
but the heavy rains of the past few days
will save it. Farmers are now busy plant
ing sweet potatoes. The orange groves
stood the long continued dry weather
much better than was expected. During
the past three months the trees have
grown finely. Some of the fruit dropped
but not lo any great extent. This part
of the county will market quite a good
deal of fruit next winter. The progress
that the groves have made this\ year is
very gratifying and it begins to look now
ue if the time was not far distant when
they will again be producing paying crops.
Mr. J. Y. McKinney has received the
machinery for his saw* mill, which will be
put up on Smith Lake, one mile west of
town. A novel feature of this mill will
be its motiye potver, which will come
from a huge gasoline engine, the first
ever brought to this part of the state. The
logs will be drawn across the lake, one
mile, to the mill by a cable.
The postoffice at Welshton, three miles

GEORGIA BAR ASSOCIATION.
ANNUAL CONVENTION IN SESSION AT
ATLANTA.
Attendance Estimated at About 100.
President John W. Aiken Call* the
Body to Order—Hi* Address the
Leading Feature of the Day—An
Interesting Paper Read on the
Eleetion by tlie People of Judges
and Solicitors.
Atlanta, Ga., July 7.—The annual meet
ing of the Georgia Bar Association, which
began here to-day, was largely attend
ed, approximately 100 of the leading law
yers of the state being present when Hon.
John W. Aiken, president, called the body
to order.
The members of the association were
taken out to the Piedmont Club in a spe
cial car, and they spent the day in the
shade of the trees, their proceedings be
ing of an enjoyably informal character.
Orville Park of Macon was selected to
act as secretary in the absence of J. H.
Blount, Jr., the regular secretary, why
has gone to the war with the Third Geor
gia Regiment.
President Aiken’s address was the lead
ing feature of the day, though other ex
ceedingly interesting papers w*ere present
ed by Mr. Hark of Macon on “The Dumb
act of 1850,” and by Hon. J. R. Lown of
Augusta on “Georgia Law Books.”
The latter, was preceded by the report of
the committee on law books, of which Col.
Lown is chairman.
There were also several other regular
committee reports sent in and read by the
secretary. 'Die Secretary, P. P. Langley,
of l.aGrange, read a paper on the election
of Judges and solicitors by the people.
In his address, President Aiken discussed
the policy of the federal courts in en
croaching upon the rights of the state
courts in a ntyle that produced a notice
able impression upor. his fellow lawyers.
He criticized the federal courts strongly
for these encroachments in local affairs,
and referring to the effect of it on the
administration of the criminal law, declar
ed that the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Nobles,
the Twiggs county murderess, was a di
rect encouragement to lynch law.
In launching forth on his arraignment
of the federal courts, after tracing the
plan of our judicial establishment from its
birth to the present state of development.
President Aiken sail; "The Governors
and the President may desire to execute
the will of the people as expressed in the
state and national siatutes framed by the
people's chosen agents. But the federal
judiciary* may set aside these statutes and
prevent the state and national executives
from enforcing them. Changes may be at
tempted in the fundamental law of the
land and the majority of legislatures or
three-fourths of the state m:y ratify con
stitutional amendments passed by Con
gress, in order to change the constitution,
so as to carry into effect the undoubted
will of a vast majority of people.
/ "But the federal court may declare that
these constitutional amendments have not
been legally passed, or may construe them
away, and from such a judicial declara
tion there is no appeal.
“The federal judiciary, therefore, is the
sole repository of ultimate power in this
republic and the handful of men who
Wield (his power may wield it as long as
they live and choose to do so. For this
same judiciary may avoid one of its mem
bers expulsion from power, by impeach
ment, by adjudging the impeachment pro
ceedings to have been illegal; and not even
insanity terminates this power, for, as
was once pitifully illustrated in our own
circuit, a demented federal judge is still
the judge. Death is the only break upon
this juggernaut, but is a very slight and
fleeting break, for men who hold office for
life rarely die, and when they do their
successors promptly take their places and
the wheel grinds on as before.”
Taking up the application of this federal
court, however, to local laws and depre
cating the interference in civil injunction,
as well as in the administration of the
criminal law. Judge Aiken referred to the
Nobles case in these words: “Witness the
Nobles case, in which a heartless wife pro
cured the cold blooded murder of her hus
band. The Jury promptly convicted her
of murder in the first degree. The state
courts more than once approved Ihe ver
dict and sentenced her to death. By re
sorting to the federal courts delays were
secured until finally, by a mistaken ap
plication of mercy, which was an injus
tice to the public, the red handed mur
derer escapes the gallows, the people lose
somewhat of faith in penal justice nnd
another argument is silently but powerfully
written in the public heart in favor of
lynch law."
On the topic head “Municipal government
as affected by federal injunctions,” Judge
Aiken declared that it was contrary to the
genius of American institutions that the
courts shall control or direct anv depart
ment of state or municipal government,but
that the federal courts have of late practic
ally assumed such powers. He referred to
several instances, one of which was the
Atlanta street car transfer case, in which
the city by ordinance, sought to compel the
Consolidated to grant transfers over its va
rious lines, hut which ordinance was set
aside by a federal court.
Continuing, the illustration, he said: “I
merely invite the attention of Georgia law
yers to the fact that this is a single illus
tration of government by federal Injunc
tion in Georgia. The federal court by this
decision exercises a function which, as ad
mitlcd by the decision itself, is within the
domain of the municipal government of At
lanta, should the legislature see tit to put
It there. We shall see whether a future leg
islature will give to the city of Atlanta the
express power to thus regulate street car
fares.
"But supposing that such iiower is so
clearly given as to prevent its being con
strued into 'innocuous desuetude.' and
supposing that the Atlanta city govern
ment should pass the ordinance thus em
powered, would not the street railway
company, either in its own name or in
the name of a non-resident corporation
trustee for the bondholders, resort again
to the federal court and raise the ques
tion involved in the decision in the Ne
braska case? In other words, the fed
eral court and not the legislature and the
municipal government of Atlanta will de
termine what are proper charges for the

transportation of street car travelers,
and the federal court will become quo
ad hoc the Mayor and Council of the
capita! city of Georgia.”
Judge Aiken took the federal judiciary to
task again for its assumption of the right
to treat a corporation as foreign citizens,
saying, “This law made by the federal
court is wrong. Jt is un-American, it is
un-Anglo-Saxon, it is Russian, to trans
fer the trial of cases from the vicinage in
which the parties live and the causes of
action arise. No corporation should have
the right simply because it is chartered
by another state to defeat the rights of a
citizen to /compel justice from that cor
poration in the courts of the state where
it, in fact, resides and does business. If
it be really a foreign corporation, it is in
one sense an alien, and no sovereign state
should permit an alien, and especially an
artificial creature without moral responsi
bility, to come within her borders and re
fuse to submit to her courts as to rights
and wrongs, beginning and ending within
(he state. The state, and if necessary the
national legislature, should make submis
sion to state courts a condition precedent
to the right of a foreign corporation to do
business within a state, and the statute
should be so plainly written that no fed
eral judge could repeal it by construction.''
The election of officers for the ensuing
term will be held to-morrow, when the'
association adjourns.
CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN TO-DAY,
House Vote* to End the Session Tills
Afternoon.
Washington, July 7.—To-day in the
House was given to the consideration of
measures by unanimous consent. Few of
importance were passed.
A resolution providing for final adjourn
ment at 2 o’clock to-day was agreed to.
Then followed a clamor characteristic
of the closing days of a session, members
in large cumbers being almost constantly
upon their feet appealing for recognition
and consideration of their local measures.
Mr. Berry, i)em., of Kentucky, secur
ed the reading of his resolution, thanking
Commodore Schley and the officers and
men under him for the victory over Ad

The Senate resolutions extending thanks
and directing the giving of medals to
Lieut. F. H. Newcomb and the officers
and men of the Hudson in the fight at
Cardenas, and directing the retirement
upon full pay of Capt. Daniel B. Hodgs
don of the McCulloch, in the Manila bat
tle, were laid before the House. Mr. Hep
burn asked consent for its consideration,
but Mr. Berry, Dem., of Kentucky, ob
jected unless the Schley resolutions
should be tak. n up with them. This con
diiion was not conceded and the Senate
resolutions went over.
The House accepted the Senate provis
ion for an appropriation of $200,000 to pay
the cost of transportation dead American
seamen and soldiers to their homes for
interment in the discretion of the war de
partment.
The bill to incorporate the international
American bank was called up, but by
unanimous consent it went over to (he
first Wednesday after Congress shall meet
in December.
By the adoption of a resolution, Mr.
Payne. Rep., of New York, was formally
elected speaker pro tempore of the House.
Mr. Dalzell. Rep., of Pennsylvania, ex
plained that many enrolled bills were
awaiting the signature of.the Speaker for
transmission lo the Senate'and President,
and in ignorance of the exact movements
of Speaker Reed, who was absent from
the city, it was well for the House to elect
a speaker who could sign the enrolled
