Hrßret the Necessity, But Acqui
eM.t. in ihe decision—Col. Garrard's
Military Record Is a Splendidly
Hood One.
- 0 1 \\'i;iiam Garrard, at last night’s
meeting of the Savannah Volunteer
(iuari- Battalion, notified the members
the command, the military head of
which he has been for the last eighteen
years, that he would immediately apply
to the Governor for retirement.
<. 01. Garrard arrived at this decision be
c of the fact that he does not deem
it possible to look after the military in
, t•. t.-' t the battalion and command it,
an I at the same time pay proper atten
tion to the demands of the reorganization
committee, of which he is chairman. In
directing the attention of the corps to the
det rm nati. n at which he had arrived,
Col Garrard said:
At this juncture in the history of the
Guard-, every officer and man should do
his duty, and assist in building up the
corps. No one should be a “quitter.” This
coinman 1 is $8 years old, and deserves our
love and devotion. We should resolve that
we will fill up its ranks, and devote our
selves to its financial salvation. To do
s?. is to fail at the crucial moment,
and to admit that we are not equal to
the occasion.
I have an abiding faith in the destiny
of : - orps. It will live. It was born in

was reformed in a few weeks, at Demopo

tJOinted iirsi lieutenant of Company I,
T irty-ttrst Alabama, and assigned to duty
as acting adjutant of the regiment. This
promotion wos for distinguished gallantry
on several fields.

re-entering the service under the command
of Brig. Gen. Edward W. Pettus (one of
the present senators from Alabama), and
reported to Geti. Bragg, then before Chat

part in the 'battles of I.ookout Mountain
and Missionary Ridge, and the other lesser
conflicts of that campaign, and went into
winter quarters, at Dalton, Ga., with his
command.
tie served in the ensuing campaign of
the Army of Tennessee, under Gen. Joe
Johnston, from Dalton io Atlanta, taking
part in the batiks of Rocky Face Ridge,
Resaca, New Hope Church, Pine Moun
tain, Peach Tree Creek, the siege of At
lanta, Jonesborough, and (he several
minor combats.
t nder Hood he served in the succeeding
campaign through North Alabama an I
Tennessee, being then assigned to duty on
the stalY of Brig. Gen. Pettus, as acting
assistant inspector general, taking part in
the battles of Columbia, Franklin, and
Nashville. On the retreat from Nashville,
two brigades. Gen. Pettus" (Alabama) an t
Cummings' (Georgia), under Maj. Gen.
Stevenson, constituted the rear guard of
Hood’s army and during the first day out
trom Franklin, fought in an open coun
try, several times in hollow square forma
tion, receiving and successfully repelling
charges made on all sides by the cavalry
of the enemy.
The army crossed the Tennessee river
on a pontoon bridge and halted at Tupelo,
Miss., whence it proceeded tn box cars,
to Branchville, S. C., where it disembarked
and took the field again, for the last cam
paign. Lieut. Garrard was still serving
on the brigade staff. At the battle of
Bentonville, which wound up the cam
paign, Pettus’ brigade was led by the
General on horseback, with his staff 3lso
mounted, and charged over two lines of
entrenchments, on which occasion, Gen.
Pettus was wounded in the leg, and hts
aid-de-camp killed.
SRorily thereafter the army was reor
ganized, the regiments being, by oniers
of Gen. Johnston, consolidated, as they
were skeletons in numbers, thus throw
ing out of commission many officers. Three
regiments, including the Thirty-first Ala
bama. were consolidated, and made the
new Twenty-third Alabama. Lieut. Gar
rard being made captain of Company K,
made up of four companies. A, G, H and
I of the old Thirty-first. He surrendered
with Johnston's army in May, 1565, at Sal
isbury, N. C., and from that point rode on
horseback to his home at Columbus, Ga.
He became a private in the Savannah
Volunteer Guards. Aug. 13, 1873, and was
semmissioned lieutenant colonel of (tie
battalion by Gov. Alexander H. Stephens,
Dec. 23, 1882. He has commanded the bat
talion ever since.
11l 1898 he served as lieutenant colonel
Second Georgia Volunteer Infantry, U. S.
V., in the Spanish war. Mustered out
of the service in the latter part of No
vember, 189S, and, returning to Savannah,
he resumed command of the Guards bat
talion. the active command of which, he
now resigns, to perform with more dili
gence and devotion a more arduous, if less
prominent, duty in its behalf.
Three retired officers of the battalion
were last night placed on the honorary
list. Lieut. Col W. T. Hopkins, First
l ieut. Hal H. Bacon and Second Lieut.
Walter C. Hartridge are the officers to
whom was tendered this expression of
the admiration and esteem in which their
comrades hold them. Col. Hopkins' retire
ment is due to his appointment as lieu
tenant colonel and assistant inspector
general of the state forces and that of
Lieut?. Bacon and Hartridge to their
resignation of their commissions in B
Company', of which they were the subal
.ern officers.
GUARDStGRIEVE FOR SCREVEN,
Eloquent Preamble nnd Resolutions
Adopted by the Battalion.
At the meeting of the Guards last night,
the command turned for the moment from
the consideration of the other important
business that demanded its attention to
pay a loving tribute to one who had held
the corps in his heart through a long life
and had been active ond zealous always
in seeking to promote ils welfare.
During a pause in the discussion, Lieut.
Davis Freeman, adjutant of the battalion,
addressed, the chair, in substance, a? fol
lows: ’’Since we have last met, Mr. Chair
man. this battalion has sustained what I
consider one of its greatest losses. Only
a few days ago there passed away a man,
once our commanding officer, who, up to
the day of his death, kept up his active
interest In the corps and whose name Is
identified with a part of its most glorious
history. It is usual when a body of this
character loses by death one of its dis
tinguished members that a committee is
appo.nted to draft a preamble and resolu
tions expressive of the surviving mem
bers' appreciation of the extent of that
loss
"in this case, though, because it seemed
to me important that no time should be
lost, I have ventured myself to prepare
a preamble and resolutions regarding the
services of Col. Screven to this corps, and
with your permission, sir, I shall read
them to the meeting, for such action as
it may desire io take."
Lieut. Freeman then read the following
resolutions, that, upon motion of Capt.
Cann, were adopted by a unanimous rising
vote:
“Coi. John Screven is dead. The light
of a long life has gone out. After mete
than the allotted three score years and
ten this noble man has laid down the bur
den of life. What an example he has been
of the best type of that highest product
of Christian civilization, the true gentle
man. At this day, when that designation
is alas, so often misapplied, when not
even a veneer of gentility and considera
tion for others and true respect for self,
st ems necessary to fit one lo be so called,
it is refreshing and Inspiring to contem
plate his right to the title. If gentle birth,
and generous impulses and actions. If con
sideration for others and respect for self,
|f unfailing courtesy to high and low alike,
if delightful hospitality, if unselfish devo
tion to all that Is good and elevating, go
to make the gentleman, then surely w
may never hope to see a truer one than
Col. Screven.

ful obedience to the mandate of duty, de
votion to ])cineiple, civic virtue and un
swerving loyalty to friend, and country,
and truth, with the intellectual
capacity and attainments, he stood out
conspicuous in this community as a man
and a citizen. He w.is true to every trust
imposed upon Inin. Every service he did
his city, his country, his fellow citizens—
and they were many—was thoroughly and
faithfully done.
"His love for the Guards was deep and
constanf. His Interest in the command is
w 11 known to even the youngest and new
est of them. His pride in and devotion to
the corps was evident to all who knew
him—indeed, his very name is a part of
the history of the battalion. For three
generations those of his name and blood
have held command here. Asa soldier, he
recognized the importance of discipline
and enforced It at all times. But he was
always just and never oppressive io Ids
administration. Conscious of and true to
the dignity of command, he never flaunted
authority or sought its ostentatious dis
play. He did not, like so many others
would, when he laid down his active
command, lose interest, for, to the day of
his death, this command was very
near to his heart and his ser
vice in its behalf was Invariably
zealous and active. And now this true
soldier, having fought a good fight, and
having kept the faith, has gone to his re
ward, leaving to us a memory sweet and
beautiful and an example it should be our
glory and pride to preserve and emulate.
"Therefore be it resolved,
"First, That we, the Savannah Volun
teer Guards, recognize that in his death
we have sustained an irreparable loss—
the loss of a friend and comrade whose
place can never be filled.
“Second. That the secretary of this
command communicate to his family the
exp-ession of our sincere sympathy and
condolence and transmit to them a copy
of these resolutions.
“Tlii and. That these resolutions be spread
on the minutes of the corps.”
AT THE THEATER.
Tlnrlow Ilroe.’ Mlnntrels Entertained
a Good-Sized Andleaee.
Barlow Bros.' Minstrels, without either
of the Barlow brothers, _was the attrac
tion at the theater last night. The au
dience was good-sized and the perform
ance went very well. The company is
not large and it does not contain any of
the stars of minstrelsy. The performance
was entertaining but it was not different
from the run of minstrel companies and
there were no especial features. Mr.
James G. Reaney. who sang that pretty
song "One Little Word,” is pleasantly re
membered by many Savannah boys as a
popular member of Company C, of the
Second Georgia Regiment.
The hilarious farce “What Happened to
Jones,” will be to-night’s attraction., The
east includes John Allison, H. G. Hockey,
H. W. Montgomery, Louis Reinhart, Jo
seph McKever, Charles Charters, Charles
Greene, Florence Marion, Lill an Young,
Olive McConnell, Ethel Herislet, Marie
Hayes and Maud Allison. This is not Mr.
Broadhurt's first attempt, for in "The
Wrong Mr. Wright" and "The Sp culator”
he has had two successes. The action of
the farce is concentrated, the whole story
covering a period of only one evening. In
the story of "What Happened to Jones,"
a professor of anatomy, his family, his
ward—Cissy—a bishop and Jones, to whom
it all happens, figure.
The negro Is usually a natural musician,
but some doubt exists as to his ability
as an Instrumentalist. This doubt should
be dispelled as there is no reason why
the colored man should not become pro
ficient as a band man. The Nashville Stu
dents' Big Minstrels have about thirty
solo musicians in their two bands. During
their noonday parade there exists a
friendly rivalry which is entirely done
away with when in the everting the two
bands combined and under the able di
rection of Prof. Prampin, give their con
certs in front of theater consisting of
solos ar.d selections, embracing “Faust,”
Will, Tell, fantasia in "Old Kentucky
Home" and numerous others. Mr. Car
penter, the manager, not content with
having one of the best colored bands, has
also an orchestra tof solists under the
leadership of Prof. Dan Desdunes, that is
worthy of some comment. They appear
at the theater Friday night. The balcony
will be reserved for colored people.
Whether it is just or not, it has been
said of James T. Powers, by critical writ
ers and many times emphasized, that ne
is the one man of the few leading comic
opera comedians of the country that could,
did he so desire, forsake this form of en
tertaining and . accomplish immediately
recognition's a star in legitimate comedy.
However, this may be true, but the fact
remains that Powers has this ability, ond
yet his meter Is distinctly comic opera.
Although he is “no great shakes” ns a
singer, he is nevertheless a good musician
and a man of long training and experi
ence in instrumental work. He is prob
ably the best stage dancer of all the front
rank comedians. Powers’ comedy style
differentiates absolutely from that of any
of the other merry fellows who are so
popular with the American public. His
methods are unique and always spontan
eously droll. The most enjoyable features
of Powers' style are Its complete spon
taneity unaffectednes*. His lines and
business are all delivered with an oft
hnnd, unstudied manner that adds might
ily to their effectiveness and taking
ness." His laugh Is irresistible in his
laugh-compelling power, and his by-play
and even his horse-play are conducted
with such legitimate comic art than the
critic Is immediately disarmed, finds him
self laughing as uproariously as his neigh
bor and forgets os thoroughly to analyze
the why and wherefore.
Mr. Powers is the leading comedian of
Augustfn Daly's musical company In "A
Runaway Girl,” which will be presented
for the first time In this city Saturday
evening at the theater.

HAYES FOUND_NOT GUILTY.
Continued from Eighth Page.
in dofense of my home, gentlemen,” he
said in simple conclusion.
In rebuttal, the solicitor general intro
duced some evidence that inu rtVrcd con
siderably with the evident ft * t on the
jury that had been made by the state
ment of the defendant. By a telegram
sent by Hayes to the parents of his wife
on the day he left Savannah, the solicitor
showed that Hayes then thought her al
most in a dying condition, and by the evi
dence of I)r. Wahl, it was proved that
her condition really and actually was des
perate. The inference was that Hayes
had )treated his wife cruelly, and of this
deduction from the evidence the solicitor
general made good use in his argument to
the jury.
Eavier testified that there hod never
been anything wrong in his relations with
the wife of Hayes, and that it th< assault
was committed in fancied revenge for such
a wrong or to prevent the consummation
of such a ..wrong, R was unjustified and
mistaken. He offered no explanation for
the wife leaving the home of her husband
ami coming to his.
The prisoner made a supplementary
statement, in. the course of which he said
that he had thought his wife in the des
perate condition her appearance indicated,
but that he had called in a physician and
the latter had said there was no danger.
His wife, said Hayes, had insisted that he
should not delay his visit to the country
and the transaction of the business he
had there on her account. He had left
a negro cook to nurse and look after his
wife in his absence. With this eupple
mentary statement the defense again
rested, and, the state introducing no fur
ther evidence, the arguments were begun.
The opening argument for the defense
was made by Mr. R. L. Golding. The re
marks of Mr. Golding were sometimes
rather worse than uncomplimentary to the
wife of Hayes and the alleged cause of
all the trouble. Mr. Golding's argument
was that Hayes was justified in acting as
he had in order to protect his home and
preserve his wife from further assaults
upon her virtue.
• The speech made by Solicitor General
Osborne for the state waft a scathing ar
raignment of the prisoner, who was de
nounced as a cowardly and lying vaga
bond, who had sought on the stand to
take away his wife’s reputation for virtue
and chastity in order to save himself
from the just punishment that hjs of
fenses merited. There was no evklence
to show’, contended the solicitor general,
that Mrs. Hayes was other than a pure
woman and he commented on the evi
dence of the physician to show that she
had not opportunity to be otherwise.
Mr. W. F. Slater, who concluded for
the defense, made an effective argument
to the jury, based on a man's right to
prevent, by force of arms if necessary, an
as ault upon the virtue of his wife or the
sanctity of his home. During Mr. Slater’s
argument the court adjourned for dinner
ond the argument was resumed in the
afternoon. That it carried at least a doubt
of the correctness of the state's conten
tions to the minds of the jurors was made
evident by the verdict. Judge Falligant’s
charge, also, was generally thought to
be somewhat in favor of the legal posi
tions, deduced from the evidence, taken
by counsel for the defense.
The jury brought in a verdict about half
an hour after it retired.lt was “not guil
ty,” and Hayes left the court room a free
Yuan* No .matter whether the contention
of the state or that of the defense, as to
the truth of the evidence, be the correct
one, either will serve to cast a shadow
o\er the future life of the man, and. it
is more to be feared, over the young life
of the little child born to his wife and
himself.
THE ABRAM MIMS LAUNCHED.
Towboat Company’ll New Tug For
mally Christened.
The new lug Abram Minis, building for
the Propeller Towboat Company, was
launched at Dialogue’s ship yard in' Carp
den, N. J., Saturday. The tx>at had been
reudy for several days, but the Ice in the
Delaware made the launching impossible.
Saturday’ morning, however, the christen
ing party, consisting of about twenty qf
Mr. Dialogue's and Cap!. F. 13. Avery’s
friends, with Miss Marie. Dialogue as god
mother, took their posit ons on the bow
and as the plank was sawn and the ves
sel glided down the ways M;ss Dialogue
repeating “I christen thee Abram Minis,”
may thy destiny be as happy as thy
form is graceful.” breaking the bottle of
champagne on tho bows as the stern touch
the water, and making a veritable spray
bath from spear to garboard.
The field ice and the launching blocks
lashed to the hull killed the sternb ard so
that she Just slid clear of the ways. A
tug was in readiness to tow her back to
the dock and after the party disembarked
and went to the office a lunch was served
by John H. Dialogue, the builder, to Ihe
accompaniment of popping corks and
toasts, beginning with “The Abram
Minis,” responded to by Mr. Dialogue.
“Here’s lo the new’ boat! May she be as
successful as her namesake!”
“To the little Godmother,” by Capt.
Frank 13. Avery. “Here’s hoping that the
beautiful day and success of the launch
ing may be a forerunner of her future
life;” “The Builder,” by Mr. Joseph F.
Magee: “Here’s hoping that the success
of the Minis may equal that of her pre
decessors now at Savannah, which were
built at this yard; To the Company, by
proxy, Frank 13. Avery for Mr. Neely:
“Fellow citizens (that won’t do; It’s too
political); Ladies and Gentlemen (that’s
too formal): You may not be all Qua
kers, but you’re all friends; may peace
and prosperity attend you till we meet
again.” The launching was a success in
every way.
