Adjustment.
An apportionment of the troops tt> be
m i t red out at Savannah has at 'ast l>een
determined upon, and the representatives
of nl! the Initial lines are satisfied. Nobody
tjeems to hate any complaint to offer, and
the happy adjustment <f the troublesome
proposition that hns confronted the local
lines for several weeks is a matter for con
gratulation among them all.
Recourse to an arbitrator was finally
had, ail four lines, the Central, the Plant
System, the Florida Central ami Peninsu
lar and the Georgia and Alabama agreeing
to abide by the decision of Col. John
Bcreven. His award of the business was as
follows: To the Central Railroad, 30 per
cent.; to the Plant System, 27 per cent.; to
the Florida Central and P< ninsular, 21 Vi
per cent. ; to the Georgia and Alabama,
per cent.
Influences from the outside ttiat could
rot wefl be disregarded are said to have
been brought to l**ar to bring about the
apportionment The leading passenger of
ficials of the four roads decided the best
plan to effect a satisfactory disposition of
the question would be to submit it in ail
of its phases to an arbitrator, and the se
lection of Col. Screven to serve in that
capacity was but a natural consequence
of the decision.
Traffic Manager E. 11. Hinton and Gener
al Passenger Agent J. C. Haile of the
Central, Passenger Traffic Manager B. W.
Wrenn and Assistant General Passenger
Agent H. C. Me Fad den of the Plant Sys
tem, General Passenger Agent A. O. Mac-
I)onell and Assistant General Passenger
Agent L. A. Shipman of the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsular, and General Freight
and Passenger Agent A. Pope of the Geor
gia and Alabama held a meeting in the
morning at which they agreed upon Col.
Bcreven.
For many years Col. Bcreven was offi
cial arbitrator of the old Southern Rail
road and Steamship Freight and Passen
ger Association. In the matter of arbi
tration he is a veteran, and he is recog
nized integrity and ability to grasp a situ
ation in its entirety suggested him ut once
as the man fitted for the need that ha J
arisen among the local lines.
Terms for the arbitrament were agreed
upon. of the fittest became
the slogan, and the orators began their
work in tine style. It was agreed that each
road should have the tar of the* arbitrator
to set forth its claims for the business,
and that Col. Bcreven might then make
up his decision and let it be known to
what share each line was entitled.
The office of Vice President John M
E an of the Central Railroad became the
forum in which the efforts of the railroad
nan were delivered. One at a time they
entered, and Col. Screven was their sole
hearer. Traffic Manager E. H. Hinton of
the Central presented the claims of that
road; Col. B. \Y. Wrenn. passenger traf
fic manager, talked for the Plant System;
Assistant General Passenger Agent I*. A.
Shipman was hoard in behalf of the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular, and General
! reight and Passenger Agent A. I’ope rep
resented the Georgia and Alabama Fif-
J*™ " fter Ihe la *t gentleman
had finished his harangue Col. Screven
rendered his decision.
To the Central and the Plant System was
awarded more of the business than to the
other two lines. A reason was given fra
that by Col. Bcreven. He said it was
through those two lines having lertnlnal
laeilltlea at Savannah that the govern
ment determined upon this as the port for
the embarkation and debarkation of
troops, and that to those roads, therefore.
Is due credit for having the soldiers here
at all. He considered that the two lines
•hould get recognition of that fact in the
award of the business, and accordingly
tacked on a few points to what would have
been allowed had every line stood upon
exactly the same footing.
The division of the business will be ar
rived at by but one line having tickets at
reduced rate for soldiers on sale the day
they are mustered out of the serv
ice. To-day the One Hundred and Sixtieth
Indiana Regiment will he discharged, and
that commands falls to the lot of the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular. The ticket
agents of that line will be at the camp,
and none other will have tickets to sell.
The Florida Central and Peninsular will
also cheek the soldiers’ boggage at the
camp, Just as has been done when the
roads have put up their light for business.
Even if a member of the regiment should
decide to wait over for a day and travel
fcy another route he will find himself mis
taken, for the agreement holds good, not
for the day, but for the entire regimeivt
Railroad men say it is a physical division
of the business, and that the regiments
must move by the lines to which they
are assignrd. A man ean wait over a
day or two days or three days, but he
will finally have to travel by the route
traveled by his regiment.
The arrangement that has been made for
the movement of the regiments is tenta
tive. and it is probable that one or two
changes may he effected at a meeting of
the representatives of Ihe lines to he held
this afternoon. As it Is at present under
stood the Florida Central and Peninsular
Is to haul the One Hundred and Sixtieth
Indiana and (he Thirty-first Michigan- the
Central Is to handle the One Hundred and
Sixty-first Indiana and the Fourth Ten
nessee; the Georgia and Alabama i to
move the Forty-ninth lowa and the Third
Kentucky; and the Plant System Is to han
dle the Sixth Missouri and the Fourth
Virginia.
The change by which the Thirty-first
Michigan is to be mustered out at Savan
nah Instead of Augusta simplified the sit*
nation somewhat, for it gives Savannah
eight instead of seven regiments. Had
the apportionment been decided upon at
the last meeting held for its consideration
the !■ onda Central and Peninsular would
probably have not fared quite so well as

regime that has prevailed, ihc road hand
led nearly 700 of the North Carolinians.
If there Is any lure whose passenger rep
resentatives are tiol satisfied it is prob
ably the Central. They believe their road
would have got mote if the thing had been
left tor destiny and hard solicitation to
work oul, but they bow to the fact that
expenses will be greaily reduced, and that
they will make about as much for their
line uuder the apportionment as they
would nad the light been maintained to

ADVENTURESOF a scout.

give vow better quarters than this. He
pret. rid. and to Is- still half asleep while east
ing about 111 his mind for a plan, rubbing
Ins ej.- and glancing through ins fingers
to see how many of the enemy there were.
He was determined not to be captured by
anything less than ten or twelve men. He
saw seven men. as he thought, but after
wards found (hut two of these were his
own men who had been awakened and
disarmed by the enemy. When he rose up
it was with a pistol in hand, and with a
quick movement to one side to avoid ,t,he
gun of the man Miove. Both fired. The
Yankee’s bullet passed through the brain
of the man who had been asleep on the
blanket beside him, while his bullet put
the Yankee out of th* combat. This was
the man whom Pant. Stringfellow said be
di,\ not know whether he had killed or
not.
’’l really couldn’t tell you what took
place in that tight except that I know' that
when it . was over I had the best of it,’’
said Capt. Stringfellow. "I fired just four
shots. 1 was in a stooping position when
I fired 'the first shot, and us I revolved
the barrel the cap fell off and choked the
pistol. I quickly drew my second pistol
and fired one or two shots. Being still In
a stooping position, a cap also dropped
from that, choking it. Then 1 drew my
small pistol and fired another shot. Four
of my antagonists were now' out of the
fight. One of my men, of the two who
had been captured and disarmed, had brok
en and run like a deer when the shooting
liegan. 1 didn’t blame him. He was dis
armed, nnd it was natural that he should
run. The other man bad managed to get
u pistol somehow, and was trying to shoot,
but his pistol was choked, too. The fifth
man had thrown himself on top of me. I
was about to shoot him with my small
pistol, when I reflected that while it might
kill him on account of the 6mall caliber,
it would not disable him in lime to pre
vent hla killing me. Quick as a flash 1
threw the pistol aside nnd drew my bowle
knife, making a sweep for his throat.
When he saw that knife he let out a yell
which somehow touched my heart, and X
drew the knife back sufficiently to escape
ids throat. He immediately Jumped up
and ran off. There* was now nobody but
myself ami the one man of my party left,
the ’’Black Horse man," I railed him,
as he belonged to that command, and we
proceeded to run."
"1 have probably done more running in
my time than any man in either army,’’
said Capt. Stringfellow. "Solomon says
there is a time for all things. There is a
time to fight, and a time to run, and this
was my time to run, and I was a good
runner. The Black Horseman had all he
could do to keep In sight. The enemy
were all around us and the best thing that
we could do was to get away. What’s the
use of fighting, boys, when the other fel
low has got the edge on you. My advice
to you soldiers is that there Is a time when
it is just as appropriate to run as it Is at
others to stand." •
Capt. Stringfellow left the scone in such
haste in fact, that he left boots, hat and
overcoat behind him and this was the
cause of his getting into further trouble
later on. He and the cavalryman bad
some amusing adventures with a long leg
ged Yankee whom they caught riding a
very small mule later in the day. Capt.
Stringfellow rode the mule after the cap
ture wliile tho Yankee trotted on one side
and the cavalryman on the other. When
ever the prisoner thought he
was too tired (o go further
Capt. Stringfellow convinced him that
such was not the case by presenting his
pisiot to his head, leaving the cavalryman
to guard his prisoner and the mule, Capt.
Stringfellow hid under a bridge on the
main road along which a division of the
Union army had Just passed for the pur
pose of getting a horse for himself. Finally
a very handsome horse came along ridden
by a very stylishly dressed man whom tie
captain thougnt to be a general at least.
When he had captured him, however, he
proved* to lie only an artillery sergeant.
Capt. Stringfellow said that scouts could
not afford to be burdened with prisoners,
and told how he got rid of his. The threat
of I-ihhy prison usually make the prison
era shako, but the thirst to blow their
brains out frightened them sill) worse.
When they had been thoroughly frightened
they were sworn on the Bible not to reveal
anything concerning the whereabouts of
the scouts when they were released.
After getting rid of his i wo prisoners in
this manner. Capt. Slrlngfellow and Ids
companion, look another route and finally
look refuge for the night in a small patch
of woods on the mountain side where they
thought Xhey would be (icrfoclly Ba f<.

He proposed to the cavalryman that he
Stringfellow, should take the horse and

was unwilling, but accepted the reverse

got .-ill dancer to himself until a rail to
surrender from behind reminded him of
his situation. He turned anti faced a whole
company of cavalry. He did not wait to
parley with them, but hroke through the
woods on his little mule, with the eavalry
men in full pursuit. The muie, being
’smatl and surefooted, Capt. Stringfellow
was able to make better time through the
wooda than the cavalrymen on their
horses. The latter seemed to enjoy the
chase greatly and shouted, “Go it. Johnny
Rel>," while Ihey fired volleys after him.
He was getting along famously, until the
muie ran him into a fallen poplar, throw
ing him-, lie then ran on foot to the edge
of the thicket, but seeing that escape was
hopeless in that direction, doubled back
and hid among the half-dead limbs of the
fallen poplar. The cavalrymen scouted the
woods for him some time, and one fellow,
who swore that he would shoot him on
sight, because he had "shot Bill" the day
before, passed quite close to him, hut did
not look where he was.
*‘l have surrendered several times in my
life and thought nothing of it,” said Capt.
Stringfellow, "but 1 had no thought of
surrender in me that day. I fully expected
lo die. and was determined to sell my life
as dearly as possible."
The cavalrymen did not find him. how
cver, and Capt. Slringfeliow made his way
through their lines that night. He had
not gone far before he ran into a camp
of the enemy which did uot have a single
picket out and where everybody was fast
asleep.
”1 went straight to the colonel’s tent.v
said Capt. Stringfellow. “He was sleep
ing peacefully, and there was a large
bundle of newspapers on a chair near him.
I took these, went outside and sat on a
bench and read the headlines in the moon
light. Had the man in the tent been a
general. Instead of a colonel, there might
have been a little more history made. I
would have taken, him away with me or
died in the attempt.”
I*eaving this camp. Capt. Stringfellow
went on to his mother's home, where the
enemy were encamped. He had no diffi
culty in getting about unobserved there,
however. A day or two later he went
out on a hillside to read the papers which
he had taken from the colone.’s tent.
“One of these was a comic paper,” said
Capt. Slrfingfellow, "and I enjoyed read
ing it greatly. I was just laughing to my
self over a very good illustration when
a shadow fell across the page.
It was the shadow of a man's
head, and the head had on a Yankee cap.
The shadow of the cap was followed by
the shadow of a gun. His position was
such that the shadows from behind him
were plainly thrown upon the page be
fore him. The gun would be raised and
then lowered. He judged from the
stealthy manner of the approach that
there could not be maby of his oppon
ents. Finally the gun was thrust into his
face, and he was called upon to surren
der. He then found himse.f in the hands
of two Union privates, whom he sized up
os greenhorns. Xle gave the two men
such a good case of bluff that they were
almost convinced that he was a Union of
ficer, in spite of his Confederate uniform,
which he claimed to have taken from some
Southerner's house. The thing that
queered him, though, was the fact that
he was still barefooted, and the men could
not reconcile his statements with this fact.
Ho finally pretended to give in, telling
them that they had made a good cap
ture.
"Which one of you," he asked them,
"wants a Confederate officer’s pistol to
hang in ids home as a souvenir?”
Capt. Stringfellow expected them to rush
forward for the weapons, but they were
very cautious. He was still lying on the
ground, where they had found him, and
the men had their guns in his back. They
worked cautiously urouml to the from,
keeping their guns pressed against his
body. As they faced him Capt. Stringfel
low held out his pistols and said: "Here
they are. Which one wants a souvenir?”
The men lowered ihelr guns and reached
for the pistols.
"My prisoners.” said Capt. Stringfellow
quietly, presenting his small pistol, which
he had kept concealed up to that time, in
their faces.
The two men were very much downcast,
and the captain had a Jot of fun guying
them. One of them got ugly and the captain
punished him by taking his shoes off,
which he stood very much in need, as it
was November. He finally got lid of the
men and immediately proceeded to make
himself scarce in that neighborhood.
Capt. Stringfellow concluded his lecture
at 10:30 o'clock, though his audience would
gladly have heard him longer.
“I might talk to you a week every night
for a fortnight. I couldn't tell it all," cal l
Capt. Stringfellow.
The speaker was introduced by Hon
Robert Falligant, who Is past master of
this art especially when the address is
to bo upon a theme so dear to his o*n
heart.
"I thank (he good people of Savannah
from the bottom of my heart for all their
kindness to the soldiers, and especially
the Fourth Virginia,” said Capt. Strins
lellow in conclusion.

CITY COURT Git AND JURY HAD A
VERY SHORT SESSION.

the May Term of the Court.
The City Court grand jury for the Feb
ruary term met yesterday afternoon for
the first time. This is probably the only
time In the recent history of the court
that a grand Jury mot and adjourned on
the same day.
There being no busfntss of sufficient Im
l*ortance to require the attent on of the
grand jury of the City Court, it was not
called together until yesterday, when a
number of criminal matters were submit
ted. The grand Jury of the Superior Court
for the March term being in session and
giving Its attention to the county nffairs,
there was no necessity for the grand jury
of the City Court to go over the same
ground.
The body was charged briefly by Judge
Norwood as to the law bearing upon the
matter to be laid before them. After be
ing in session about two hours, the jury
returned the following indictments:
Thomas A. Ward, assault and battery;
Nellie Jenkins and O. Johnson, assault and
battery; Patrick Bourke, assault and bat
tery; Spero Marco Polo, assault and bat
tery; C. T. M. Johnson, assault and bat
tery; Robert Bennett, concealed weapons;
Austin Tarver, assault and battery; James
Montgomery, receiving stolen goods;
i homas Harris, concealed weapons; Clar
ence Oldham, larceny from the house;
George X’. King, bastardy; Edward Walsh,
assault and battery; Albert Hodges, as
sault and battery; James Carroll, assault
and battery; Clifford Bailey, assault and
battery; Ben Minis, larceny from the
house; Thomas Roberts, poncoalrd wea
pons; W. a. Walker, assart and battery.
The gram! jury was discharged bv Judge
Norwood with the thunks of the court. All
the petit Jurors drawn for the Febi aary
l< rm were also discharged yesterday morn
ing, hy order of Judge Norwood.
The following grand jurors were drawn
for the May term of the court: Tomlinson

The May term of the City Court will
convene Monday.
The cases which were set for trial in the
City Court for yesterday and to-day were
continued for the term.
The case of the Mutual Grocery Com
pany against the Norwich Union X'ire As
surance Society was dismissed, the case
having been settled out olj court. This is
the last of the several suits against insur
ace companies instituted by the Mutual
Grocery Company.
The, case of W. I*. Bierce against the
Savannah Naval Stores Company, filed
for the May term, was also marked settled.
POLICE DOCKET WELL FILLED.
Many Criminals Remanded to City
Conrt by Recorder.
The Recorder had a well filled docket to
dispose of in the Police Court yesterday
morning. Besides the regular aggrega
tion of Sunday drunks and disorderlies,
there were many others who were charged
with more serious offenses. These latter
were turned over to the City Court.
Ned Williamson, who was arrested early
Sunday morning by Policemen Btumberg
and Monahan for making an effort, with
falee keys, to enter the siore of Ludden &
Bates’ Southern Music House, was re
manded for trial before Judge Norwood
for attempting to commit a buglary and
for carrying concealed weapons. It will
b remembered that a large pistol was
found on the negro when he was searched
at the station house.
Henry Robinson and Wesley Washington
were turned over to the City Court for the
larceny of a watch and a sum of money
from J. A. Cohen. Cohen was wandering
among the wilds of Yamaeraw, in a more
or less stupefied condition, when the ne
groes came upon him and relieved him of
everything of value he had upon his per
son. The matter was reported to the po
lice, and Detectives Garrity and Stark
soon located the chleves and recovered the
watch. The money had been spent.
Nathan Phillips was turned over to the
City Court for the larceny of S2O from
the house of Susie Howard. The man
was arrested by Policeman Cronin soon
after the larceny occurred, on last Satur
day night.
s* Wylly Jones will have to answer In the
City Court u charge of stabbing not in
his own defense. Jones committed what
la said to haye been an unprovoked attack
upon Austin Tarver with a knife and in
flicted several painful wounds.
C. C. Gordon was ordered held for a
warrant from the authorities of the town
of Ohoopee, In Tattnall county. An ac

RECORDER DISMISSED CASES.
Motormnn Edwards and Conductor
Doodinu; Relieved of Rlame.
Motorman 1,. M. Edwards and Conduct
or W. A. Gooding, in charge of the trol
ley car of the Abercprn and Whitaker belt
that ran over and fatally injured little
Gertrude Yonge Saturday, were given a
hearing in the Potice Court yesterduy
morning and the cases against them dis
missed.
The evidence showed that neither of the
men was to be blamed for the unfortunate
accident, but that qn the contrary they
had used every means in their power to
avert it. In dismissing the case the Re
