Capt. H. D. Snyder, medical supply offi
cer at Savannah, received his appoint
mont from Washington yesterday as ma
jor and surgeon of volunteers in one of
the new regiments soon to be organized.
During hi-s stay in the city, <u*' Snyder
has acquired many friends, who vv .l be
glad to hear of his go ><l Juok. While he
does not know to which of the volunteer
regiments he will be attached, he prefers
to go with that 10 be form*d at Fort
Ethan Allan, Vermont, where he was eta
tioned for some time I efore coming to
Savannah.
“This means work in the Philippines, of
course,*’ said Capt. Snyder, lasi night. “I
received a telegram some days ago, ask
ing if I would accept an appoint men I in
one of the volunteer regiments, to which
I replied that 1 would. Nothing further
was heard of it until to-day, when I re
ceived another telegram, notifying me of
the appointment. I cannot say just how
long it will be before I shall leave Savan
nah, but J am calculating on getting away
within the next throe or four weeks.
Capt. Snyder is at present engaged get
ting things straightened out for his suc
cessor at the general hospital. In addi
tion to his other duties, he has b n in
charge there for some time. All the medi
cal supplies, which takes up about fifteen
closely packed wards, have been stored
at the hospital, where everything has been
properly assorted and put in its place.
There has been an increase in the sup
plies during the last few days, due to tin*
large quantities brought from the medi
cal depot at Atlanta, which has been
transferred to and consolidated with the
Savannah depot. Forty-eight ears of sup
plies have been brought from Atlanta dur
ing the past two weeks, the last of which
was received yesterday.
The government has taken ample pre
caution to protect this large amount of
property in every way. Guards watch it
by day and night, and a recent arrange
ment In placing hydrants in all the build
ings will probably be sufficient to subdue
a fire ot ordinary proportions. All the
woolens have been packed in a way to
protect them from moths and other in
sects which generally destroy goods of
this kind. It is not known, of course,
when any of the supplies will be called
for, or where they will bo sent, and for
that reason they have lx*on stored in a
way to remain for some time if necessary.
There is still a considerable amount of
condemned property on hand which the
government will offer for sale on Aug. 28
at the old store rooms at ILiver and
Bull streets. The sale (s posted
for 10 o’clock. While the amount
properly that will be offered Is not known,
4i is slated there are about 500 cots. 1,000
sheets, 500 towels, 1,000 each of knives,
forks and spoons, 30 refrigerators, and
pans, pots, plates, and saucers galore.
All this property is in the River street
warehouse with the exception of some cots,
which have been stored at the general
hospital. The sale of these articles will
about wind up the condemned govern
ment property to be Fold in Savannah.
Capt. Snyder’s departure will call for
the appointment of another officer to take
charge of the medical supply department.
While it is not known who this will be, it
Is thought Maj. Appel, who is now away
on leave of absence, may be assigned to
this work. It is understood Maj. Appel
ts due to return about the time Capt. Sny
der turns over his department. When
he takes his successor’s receipt, Capt.
Bnyder will turn over the immense stock
in the very best condition, and arranged
so that It may be got ut easily at any
time.
Asa soldier the career of Capt. Sny
der has been one which fits him admirably
for the appointment with which he has
been honored. His army life began when
be was appointed a first lieutenant and as
sistant surgeon in the regular army in
18S& He was first stationed at Fort Reno,
Okla., and remained in that region four
years. Ho was also at Fort Supply,
Guthrie and Oklahoma City. He was in
the field during much of his time engaged
In putting cattle out of the Cherokee
strip. He was present as an officer in
1894 at the opening of ihe Cheyenne, Ara
pahoe and Sack anti Fox countries, and
also fV* Cherokee strip. The ml.itary was
on hand at these openings to prevent the
entrance of “sooner*,” who would run the
lines, if possible, and settle down before
the appointed time.
Many interesting stories are told by
Capt. Snyder of the methods adopt
ed in the eagerness to get upon a
reservation. In spite of all the military
could do, some got Inside the lines. It
is told that two men selected a site upon
which they wanted to settle, and at the
hour for the rush, they went at breakneck
speed on Kentucky racers for the spot.
On arriving, however, they found settlers
already on the spot, who claimed they had
reached the place on oxen.
After leaving ihise stations Capt. Snyder
was sent to Fort Duchesne, Utah, a small
frontier post on the l’in:ah Indihn reser
vation. This place was 9u miles from the
nearest railroad. In 181*5 he was promoted
to a captaincy, and transferred to
Fort Ethan Allan, Vt. He figured In the
late war .having been among the first to
lx- sent to Chlckamauga. lie was 11 er
brigade surgeon of the provisional cavalry
brigade at Tampa. At Tampa he look
charge of the field hospital of the Fourth
Army Corps, and removed it to Huntsville.
After being relieved from duty there, lie
was stationed In the North, and remained
theie until he came to Savannah last April
as medical supply officer.
There are others in the government ser
vice who are to leave Savannah soon.
Maj. G. W. Rut hers w ill probably be re
lieved about Sept. 1, when he will go on a
two months leave of absence to Chicago
end the Northwest.

MINISTER LOST I*IS MIND.
In Incident of Hie < it? of Savannah
Wreck Told f> n I’nNftciißer.
The recent experience of the steamships
City of Augusta and the D. H. Miller, call
to mind some of tin thrilling limes when
ships are in the grasp of terrific storms.
The must interesting feature of storm <-x
-perienc* s, at least to the ship's crew, is
the nerv* or uneasiness the passengers
show when it looks as if every moment
is the lasi for all on board.
An Incident was recently told by one
who was on board the City of Savannah
when that vessel ploughed into (he Caro
lina beach in 1593, aft*.r one of the most
trying experiences known to eoasiwise
vessels. Capt. Savage realized when the
force of the storm began to drive the Sa
vannah toward the bach that the
thing was to get the passengers where lie
could look our for them. They had been
in a slate of uneasiness for several hours,
and it was his desire to consol** th m as
much as possibe, while at ihe same time,
he would have tiiem close by to dirwi
thej.r movements in case of immediate
peril.
Among those on board was minister,
whose denomination is not given, and who
wa.. bound for little town in South
Georgia. The brother of the doth had
shown considerable anxiety during the'
day, as was evidenced by the oft arid re
peated inquiries he made of the captain
as to whether he thought “we would pull
through.” When the passengers were at
last gathered*into the cabin if was to l**
supposed that the minister would help in
pacifying and consoling the other pas
sengers, and particularly the women and
children, some of whom were in a fren
zied siat© of mind.
It took only a f< w moments after the
] ttle group was huddled together under
the protection of the gallant captain, how
ever. 4o disclose that the minister had
.ost his head. The surroundings had ap
parently been too much for him. and in
stead of uttering words of encouragement
to tho frightened helpless ones, be began
discussing with the captain his desire to
have some letters mailed. He was as
sured the* vessel was nodes from land, and
that it might not get there again, but he
insisted he was at his homo, and that it
would only “take a sailor a moment to run
around to the office.” Taking in the situ
ation the captain realized it would be dan
gerous to leave the minister, and there
fore deputed a sailor to keep watch over
him.
It Is snid the sailor had quite a task in
keeping his charge from doing rash things,
and at times found it necessary to lay
hold of him. The sailor is said to have
at Inst become Impatient, and with a
■view’, perhaps, of restoring the minister’s
reason, tic* said in a pleasant but deter
mined tone: “My prospects of going to
hell don’t frighten me nearly so much as
yours do of heaven.”
MIGHT l*\SS TIIE IV \T.
fapt. Pnr*o Stir* Ip the State Agri
cult lira I Department.
Capt. Purse has undertaken to stir up
the state agricultural department upon the
subject of sugar cane statistics. The In
ability of the department to furnish sta
tistics on this subject was acknowledged
by Commissioner Stevens In a recent let
ter to Capt. Purse, which was published in
yesterday’s Morning News.
In a letter addressed to the commis
sioner yesterday Capt. Purse regrets his
inability to furnish the desired statistics,
and makes the following suggestions:
“You are not to blame for this dearth
of information in your department upon
so important on item in our agriculture,
but you will be to blame, and severely
blamed, if you do not now call to your
aid the sections of Georgia growing sugar
cane in procuring the necessary legisla
tion for collecting the information now so
sadly needed. In the meanwhile, Is there
not some way by which you can. by cir
cular, make inquiry upon the line sug
gested in my letter, (hot the information
may be obtained concurrently with the
harvesting of the growing crop of sugar
cane; otherwise, we will lx* put back n
year for the want of this information, lr
there is any way that I can aid you in
this matter, do not hesitate to command
me.”
Capt. Purse remarks that if the com
missioner really has no funds at his dis
posal which can be used for printing and
distributing information on this subject
that he “pass around the hat,” and prom
ises that Chatham will do Its share.
ENGINEER CHAPMAN COMING.
lloune Drainage Outlet* to lie Dts
cti**cd To-morrow.
Mr. W. H. Chapman, the engineer of
the house drainage work, is expected to
arrive in Shvannah to-day or to-morrow.
Mr. Chapman has notified Mayor Myers
that he will be here to-morrow in compli
ance with the request of Council, for the
purpose of consulting with the special
committee on house drainage on the sub
ject of sewage outlets.
A meeting of the special committee has
been called for to-morrow afternoon at 1
o'c lock. Besides the members of the com
mittee, the Mayor and Mr. Chapman,
Health Officer Brunner. City Engineer
Winn and Director of Public Works Gads
den have been summoned to bo present.
It is intended to enter into a full discus
sion of the question of sewage outlets.
As has already been stated, Mayor My
ers and the members of the special com
mittee are decidedly opposed to emptying
the sewage In front of the city, and W is
their purpose to bring about a change in
the plans, provided it is possible to <i<> so
at a reasonable cost. In fact, some of
the members of th© committee have ex
pressed themselves <o the effect that it
would be better for -the city to go to con
siderable additional expense rather than
to incur the danger which they believe
would ensue from emptying the sewage
along the city front.
CADETS’ SOLICITING COMMITTEE.
Not Started Well Net in Securing
Subscription*.
The committee to solicit funds to defray
the expenses of the Savannah Cadets on
their trip to New York, to participate in
the Dewey parade, did not accomplish a
great deal yesterday, though it is expected
it will get in some good work to-morrow.
There Is every reason for believing that
the committee will be successful in ob
taining Ihe neecssury funds, which it will

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 20. IS9O.
SA\\GE DRAWS THE LINE.
He Don’t Want the Black Fellow* in
Forest < Ity Light Infantry.
An Atlanta dispatch to the effect that
the color line had been drawn in the color
ed military, and that John D. Savage,
formerly connected with the Forest City
Light Infantry was v eking to g t the
Governor to revoke certain orders, ap
peared in the Morning News yesterday.
The order Savage wants revoked is that
authorizing the consolidation of the For
est City Light Intan.ry and the Union
Lincoln Guards.
While Savage could not be fn yes
terday, it is understod from the tenor of
the dispatch that all negroes do not look
alike to him. The Forest City Light In
fantry is compose I largely of mulattoes,
it is said, while the Union Lincoln Guards
i* made up of men of a deeper black.
Savage Sr. ms to be after a systematic
assortment. He wants to “solve the race
problem,” as it were.
Col. John H. Deveaux of the F.rst Bat
, Vo mt< olored, was
shown tin- account of Savage’s Visit to At-
Jan to, end asked if ho was on an official
trip. Col. Deveaux said he was not. He
supposes! Savage was endeavoring to save
<h Forest City Light Infantry, of which
he was at one time an enlisted man.
“Col. Ob or disbanded both these com
panies last April for lack of a sufficient
enlistmentsaid Col. Deveaux. “He later
ordered, by direction of the Governor, that
the two compam.es might be consolidated
under the name of either, or select what
ever name they desired. This was to l>e
done by mutual agreement. Nothing ha£
been don© In this direction, how’ever. and
I presume this permission i what Savage
wants revoked.”
KIMIIW.L GETS \ JOB AT LAST.
Ha* Been Appointed Porter in tlie
City Dispensary.
R. N. Rutledge, who was appointed to
fill tho vacancy caused by the suspension
of Jesso Damos, Ihe porter at the dispen
sary, throw up the job yesterday and En
gine Kimball was appointed in his place.
Kimball has boon looking for a Job ever
since tho present administration came in
and seoms to have landed at last.
Behind the removal of Rutledge and the
appointing of Kimball seems to be politi
cal manipulation. This is the second time
Rutledge has been dropped, and accord
ing to a rumor, he goes this time with a
thud which he does not appreciate. With
him goes a well-known alderman, who
fought, for his appointment as superin
tendent of the colored section of Laurel
Grove cemetery. It is said it a.l came
about when another alderman, who was
prominent in the fight on the dispenserv,
found out Rutledge had been appointed.
It is said the alderman at once called upon
Mayor Myers, ond told him Kimball had
been selected as the man. What was
agreed upon is not known, but close on
tin* heels of Rutledge’s “resignation” came
Kimball’s appointment. What effect this
will have on the relations of the alder
man concerned Is not known, but it Is
certain one of them will have to get
straight with his “constituents.”

CITY BREVITIES.
Asa result of careless running of street

averted last night. The Duffy street car
going west missed the Abercorn car by a
few inches only. The car came down
Duffy street at full speed. When the
motorman saw o collision was imminent,
he reversed the current and brought the
car to a stop not a second too soon to
have prevented a collision.

Boston, Aug. 39—Tiie concluding races
of the meet at Charles River Park were

badly that the !a>t events were run in the
darkness. In the open events the finishes
were generally good, but in the haaidicao
races the scrutchmen, as a rule, fell by
the wayside. The miie national champion
ship, professional, and the mile champon
ship, amateur, were the big numbers, but
the fotmer was slow and the latter nar
rowly escaped boh g a farce in the finals.
Tom Butler won in the mile professional,
with Major Taylor second, both riders
showing wonderful sprinting ability just
at the time whoi the race looked lost fo
,them. Jimmie Moran of Chelsea took the
amateur honors, beating out Peabody of
Chicago by a few inches.
CAPITALISTS INVEST LARGELY.

Columbus, Ga„ Aug. 19.—F. B. Gordon
is in the East, where he w*ent to offer the
remainder of the stock in the Columbus
new cotton mill. He placed stock, and
capitalists offered to invest a good deal
more on the condition that they be given
one officer in company. This was agreed
to, and instead of $223,000, probably mo-re
than double that sum will be invested in
the mill. In fact. It is now believed that
fifty thousand .•-pind.es will be had.
Great anxiety exists here over the non

bus people aboard, including Dr. Smith,
pastor of the First Baptist Church and his

the Major and Aldermen.
Two old certiorari cases, that have cum
bered for eight years the docket of the
Superior Court, were on trial yesterday
and arguments thereon heard by Judge
Falligant. In both cases Mrs. L. C. Kas
sell is the plaintiff in certiorari, and the
Mayor and aldermen of Savannah the de
fendants.
The cases grew out of the crusade
against Sunday liquor selling inaugurated
by Mayor McDonough in the early nine
ties. Mrs. Kassell was tried in the Police
Court, ihe Mayor presiding, on charges
of keeping open her place of business on
Sunday. May 19. anil Sunday, June 2, 1891,
and was found guilty In each case. In
each case she was sentenced to pay a
fine of $lOO.
2oth of the cases were appealed to
Council, and the decision of the Mayor
sustained by a vote of Hto 4. On June 21,
IS9I, they were taken by writ of certiorari
to the Superior Court, and among the
trusty records of the clerk’s office of that
tribunal, they have since remained, until
ihe papers in the case have b-come gray
with ace. They have often been called,
but there has never before been such a
response as would warrant their hearing
ar.d decision.
In the argument before Judge Falligant
the plaintiff was represented by Mr. J. R.
Saussy, Jr., and the defendants by Mr.
Samuel B. Adams, Ciiy Attorney. The
points of law presented in ihe objections
of the plaintiff’s counsel to the legal posi
tion of the ciiy, were argued in extenso.
The points are close, some of them ab
struse, and they were ail taken under ad
visement by the court. Judge Falligant
reserved his decision.
THE POrB C ATI, IN HIHVEI).
Tho Steamer Escaped the Flood and
Went Ip in Flames.
Brunswick. Ga., Aug. IS.—The steamer
Pope Cat lln was burned to-night. The fire
was discovered about 8 o’clock by parlies
on the docks who notified ine watchman
on board. He endeavored to put it out,
but, falling, came ashore and called up
the fire department, which by hard work
succeeded in keeping the fire away from
the crowded ’.umber docks nearby and thus
saved a disastrous conflagration.
The Pope’s burning is I.able to present
an interesting feature in insurance circles.
She was insured for $3,000 in fire com pan es
and $2,<09 in marine. To-day a l>oarJ of
local surveyors, acting for the underwrit
ers. condemned the vessel on account of
damages sustained during the bad weather
a few days ago. The question w.ll proba
bly now arise as to whether the fire and
marine companies are bo h liable for the
steam r’s loss and damage, or, if not both,
which is to indemnify.

Columbia, <S. C., Aug. 19.—Joseph Scaff,
a white man, was arrested to-day at Lake
City on the charge of abducting the 15-
year-old daughter of Eli Stephens, a re
spectable negro of Florence. Scaff Is In
the Florence jail.
The girl was with Scaff when the con
stable and her father came to arrest hm,
and fled.
Statesboro’* Sen Island Cotton.
Statesboro. Ga., Aug. 19.—The first bale
of sea island of this year’s crop was
brought to town late yesterday evening by
J. M. Warnock. and was bought by N. R.
Lee at 12% cents per pound. The crop of
long staple cotton in this county will be
an average or a little above an average,
while corn will be a little short on account
of the dry weather. But little short sta
ple cotton is raised in this county. Other
crops are doing well.
AMERICA'S COAL SUPPLY.
Inexhaustible Beds Lie Undeveloped
In the Far West.
From the Salt Lake City Herald.
The formation of a big coal combine, in
cluding 96 of the 102 working mines along
the Monongahela, and ail the coal craft
carrying fuel from Pennsylvania to the
Gulf, embracing 200 river steamboats, 4,000
coal boats and barges, all the coal yards
and elevators where this coal is handled
along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers from
Pittsburg to New Orleans, revives Inter
est in the development of this branch of
mining in the United States.
Since 1870 the coal product of this coun
try' has increased nine times, and the ex
portation of coai has increased sixteen
times. Coal fields that are practically In
exhaustible lie undeveloped in Wyoming
and Arizona. New discoveries are being
made in Utah, Colorado and lft the states
of the great plains; the mines of the East
and Middle West show no signs of weak
ening, while many of the best producers
ore stronger than ever.
Still, Great Britain leads the world as a
coal producer. To a naval power this is
a matter of extreme importance. The
average output of the coal mines of Great
Britain is 185,000,000 tons per annum. That
of Ihe United Slates is 132,000,000. Ger
many comes next with 97.000.000, and
France follows with 27,000,000 tons.
Not only has the quantity of coal in
creased in this country,,but the area from
which the product is taken. Thirty years
ago coal was mined in twenty states,
and Pennsylvania was the only one that
produced anthracite. Coal is now mined
in commercial quantities from thirty-two
states, and hard coal Is obtained from
Rhode Island, Virginia, Colorado and New
Mexico.
Possibly the greatest development in
coal mining has been in the South, al
though it has been incalculably rapid and
extensive in the West. Twenty-five years
ago Alabama mines! but 11,000 tons of ooal.
Last year it produced 5,262,000 tons. Dur
ing the same time Kentucky's output in
creased from 150.000 tons to 3.216,000 tons;
that of Tennessee from 133,000 to 2,500,000
tons, and that of Virginia from 62,000 to
1,365,000 tons.
To be a great naval power, or even a
commercial power at sea, a nation should
be a great coal producer.
