er of th" Georgia division.
The Oglethorpe Light Infantry, under
the command itf Copi. XT. Arthur Gordon,
and the Republican Blues, commanded
by Capt. M. Ed. Wilson, the former car
rying fifty-five men, and the latter fifty,
will make the trip with the veterans, and
will take part in the reunion parade at
Louisville. The Savannah military will
be certain to make a good appearance and
create a favorable impression upon the
throngs of people that will be gathered
to watch the parade.
General orders from tho headquarters
of the I'nited Confederate Veterans an
nounce the appointment of Maj. Gen. J.
M. Poyntz, commanding the Kentucky
division of the confederation, as grand
marshal of tho parade. This is in accord
ance with the custom of appointing to this
position the major general commanding
the division in which the reunion Is held.
The day and hour of tho parade, the line
of march and other necessary informa
tion, will be announced in general ordei’3
on the first morning of the reunion.
It is expected that a large gathering
of the old Eighth Georgia Regiment will
take place while the reunion is in pro
gress. Capt. G. C. Norton, a farm r offi
cer of the regiment, has invited his com
rades to become fils guests while the re
union continues and has arrang .1 for
quailers for them at the Willard Hotel.
Here they will be comfortably lodged and
more than cc mfortably fed at his ex
pense. The offer Is a generous one.
THE SKW LABOR HOUR*.
City Workers Will Get Two Honrs
For Dinner After June 1.
The city’s new laboT day goes into ef
fect June 1. Instead of going to work at
7 o'clock In the morning and continuing
until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, with one
hour for dinner, as at present, the men
will begin work at 7, quit at 12, have two
hours for dinner, and then work from 2
until 6. The only change Is In allowing
two hours for dinner Instead of one as
heretofore. The men will begin work at
the same hour in the morning and quit at
the same time in the afternoon.
Two hours’ rest during the heat of the
day will doubtless prove a very agreeable
arrangement to the city workers during
the summer months. In ad<Ut!on to this
6 o'clock city tim(( comes quite early dur
ing the long summer days, and the labor
ers will have nearly two hours after
knocking off work in which to enjoy the
best part of the day.
CAME LIKE A FLOOD.
Savannah Deluged by n Miiiinince
Clondbarnt.
Savannah had a down pour of rain for
awhile yesterday afternoon tlyU amounted
almost to a cloudburst In a short time
over an inch of rain fell. It came in tor
rents, and swept the streets of everything
that could be washed.
The sewer traps In many sections were
clogged with refuse and sand washed
from tho streets and sidewalks, and ear
tracks were overtlowed and almost im
passable until the flood had subsided.
May Is now ahead in tain, the excess for
the month being a little more than three
fourths of an inch. Since Jan. 1, there
is on excess of nearly two inches.

COMMITTEE BEGINS WORK.
Isthmian < dual's Effect on Savannah
Discussed.
The committee from the two trail* bodies
appointed by the Mayor last week for the
purpose of carrying the resolutions adopt
ed by the meeting at the City Exchange
May 14, after the address of Frof. Emory
R. Johnson upon the isthmian canal, held
its first meeting at the Mayor's office yes
terday afternoon.
The purpose of the committee is
to gather statistics to be used by
Prof. Johnson in illustrating the
value of the canal to the Southeastern
states. Among the member-* present were
Mr. J. P. Williams, Mr. G. E. Dickinson,
Mr. W. T. Williams, Mr. F. C. liattey,
Mr. J. B. Chesnutt apd Mr. A. Wibert.
Temporary organization was perfected
by the election of Mr. Dixon as temporary
chairman and Mr. Thomas Gamble as tem
porary secretary. A half hour or more
was spent in Informal discussion a to ttie
character of the information lo be obtained
and the best means of obtaining it. It was
decided to invite Messrs. E. H. Hinton,
traffic manager of the Ocean Steamship
Conmpany; J. J. Caro,lan, agent of the
Merchants' and Miners' Transpotta>ion
Company, ami Mr. J. F. Churchill to be
come members of the committee, with the
belief that they will be able to render lha
committee valuable assistance in furni h
ing information as to the character of
shipments from this port and the routes
taken by such shipments, and also as >o
the manner in which the commerce of i hr*
port would be affected by the opening cf
the isthmian canal.
Mr. Baltey staled that shipments of cot
ton and cotton goods, phosphate rock and
naval stores were already being made from
this port to China and Japan and that he
had obtained figures as to the character
and amount of these shipments from the
Custom House. In a general way the
members of the committee were of the
opinion that an isthmian canal would re
sult in considerable shipments of this sort
from this port to the Orient, though the
shipments might not be in sufficient quaru
titles at first to warrant separate cargoes
and the goods might have to be refflippel
at New York or other ports. The opinion
was also expressed that a considerable
business in the way of lumber and naval
stores would be developed with California
and the Pacific coast.
The committee adjourned to meet Mrn
day afternoon at 4:30 o’clock when sub
committees be appointed to take up the
w'ork in detail.
CROCKERY GOES TO-DAY.
Government Sale AYill Then Take a
Recess Until Monday.
Less than 100 people attended the sale
of medical property at the government

how much they were willing to pay for it,
and the bidding went on at a lively rate
from the time the sale was resumed until
it was concluded for the day. The prices
brought were very good.
Sheets, blankets, pillow cases, towels and
other goods were disposed of, and to-day
Auctioneer McLaughlin will take up the
cYocltery, of which there Is a great quan
tity. most of it In just the condition In
which it was obtained from the manu
facturers.
After to-day a recess will be taken. No
more goods will be sold until Monday.
If It is found that all purchasers have re.
moved their goods there will be no further

purchasers for the removal of the things
they bought until Monday. He is very well
satisfied with the results of the sale.

The twenty-JHih annual meeting of the
Georgia Pharmaceutical Association was
declared adjourned without day on yes
terday afternoon, at 1:30 o’clock. The
next meeting *of the association will be
held in the city of Atlanta, which was se
lected without opposition.
The meeting was called to order in the
banquet room of the De Poto by the retir
ing first vice president, Mr. N. J. Gilles
pie. At the former meeting an effort had
been made to elect Mr. Gillespie to the
office from which he retired, and this ef
fort was renewed with added determina
tion yesterday morning. Again, however,
he positively declined the honor, and the
officers named by the Nominating Com
mittee, with the addition of Mr. Shuptrine,
who had been placed on the ticket to fill
the vacancy caused by the election of
Treasurer Mallory H. Taylor to the presi
dency, were all elected without division.
The officers are as follows:
First Vice President—John H. Pol
hlll.
Second Vice President—Charles D. Jor
dan.
Third Vice President-J. E. Kidd.
Treasurer—J. T. Shuptrine.
Secretary—Campbell T. King.
The deliberations of ihe morning’s ses
sion were presided over by President Tay
lor. After tho consideration of some mis
cellaneous business, Mr. Gillespie moved
that a committee be appointed by tho
chair to confer with a similar committee,
the appointment of which by the Georgia
Medical Society should be requested, for
the purpose of compiling and having pub
lished a book of formulas in general uso
among practitioners of medicine, for tho
use of both physicians and druggists. The
motion was carried.
Dr. George F. Payne of Atlanta, ex
tended to the association on urgent.and
courteous invitation from the Pharma
ceutical Association there, inviting It to
hold Its next annual meeting in that city.
The invitation was so gracefully and so
graciously extended, that it nipped in tho
bud the aspirations of the representatives
of several other places that had been de
sirous of securing the coveted honor, and
no opposition to Atlanta developed. It
was selected as the next place of meeting
by an unanimous vote.
Mr. Ralph O. Howard of Columbus, in
troduced a resolution extending to the
city of Savannah and the Chatham County
Pharmaceutical Association, the thanks
of the association for the courtesies thu,
ho said, had been showered upon its mem
bers during their stay here. Mr. Howard
urged the passage of the resolution he
offered in n few words of graceful person
al acknowledgment, and the motion was
carried by a rising vote.
Mr. S. C. Durban offered a resolution
extending the thanks of the association,
particularly to Mr. N. J. Gillespie, the
chairman of the Reception and Entertain
ment Committee, who has been Indefati
gable in his efforts for the success of the
meeting and the pleasures of the members
and guests in attendance. This motion
was also carried without division, and by
a rising vote.
Mr. Gillespie is personally very popular
with the members of the association and
his positive refusal to permit his name to
be placed in nomination, in an effort to
defeat Mr. Polhill for the first vice presi
dency. but served to strengthen this pop
ularity. It is more than likely that at the
next convention he will be nominated for
the presidency lo till that posi
tion.
Dr. George F. Payne ‘moved that the
chair be requested to appoint a commit
tee, for the purpose of drafting and sub
mitting to the next session of the State
Legislature for passage, a bill providing
that a pharmacist, with the rank of first
lieutenant, should be named for each reg
iment of state troops. In support of his
motion Dr. Payne stated that such a bill
had recently been passed by the Legis
lature and received the signature of the
Governor of New York, the Empire State
of tho North, and he thought it proper
that the Empire State of the South shoull
not be slow to follow ihis example. The
motion was seconded and carried.
The selection cf the exact date of the
next meeting was left in tho hands of
tlie Committee of the associa
tion. with power to act. It will he held
during May of next year and In the city
of At anta. With this understanding the
association finally adjourned.
LUNCHEON AT YACHT CLUB.
Visiting I.adles Entertalaed In Till*
Manner at Thunderbolt.
While yesterday morning's session of the
Pharmaceutical Association was In prog
ress the ladies of the party were entertain
ed at luncheon at the Yacht Club by tho
Auxiliary Committee of Ladies that wt;s
assisting the local association In its work
of hospitality.
The party of twenty-four left Ihe De
Soto at aL>ut 10 o’clock ard wire driven
in carriages to the Y'ach* Club at Thunder
bolt. Here a dainty luncheon cf six cr
seven courses was served and the morn
ing's entertainment proved to be among
the most enjoyable and successful of the
entire meeting. Afterwards the party re
turned to the city.
THE TRIP ON THE RIVER.
Enjoyable Meeting Termlnnteil In nn
Enjoyable Fashion.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the vis
iting pharmacists, their families and the
other guests of the local association left
on the steamer Alpha for a trip up and
down the river. On account cf the fact that
many of the visitors wished to leave on the
Central train last night, the extensive trip
through the inner passage to Warsaw and
out through Calabogue sound and the Laz
aretto to the ocean was abandoned and a
more tniodee* one substituted in its s'eal.
From the pier at the foot of Whltiker
street the Alpha steamed up the liver,
permitting those on Ik r de ks a view of
tho manufacturing establishments on the
banks of the river and of the magnificent
terminals of the Central Rahway and
Oeeun Steamship companies. The trip ui>
the river was continued until the new
bridge of the Georgia and Alabama wa i
reached, when she turned and togan the
Journey to the sea.
During the earlier part of the trip the
Weather was ideal, but before the bell
buoy had been reached the rain began to
descend in torreivs and the wind to blow
with uncomfortable speed. I'noomfortahle
at least, lm connection with the rain, for
between the two the waters became very
rough and the passengers, or some of
them, very much perturbed and disturbed.
(Continued ou Third rage.)
MR. CUNNINGHAM CHAIRMAN.
A AVoy to Settle tlie Question of n
New Executive Committee Dis
cussed.
Since the recent Democratic primary
very little has been heard as to the e'ec i r
of anew executive committee. This seems
to be regarded -by both sides as a minor,
though important, matter, and one which
can well afford to be allowed to rest unt 1
the echoes from the primary have diel
away.
At the same time it would be contrary
to all precedent to allow a commit ee ,o
hold over indefinitely and this is a r:lu
tion to which the politicians would hardly
agree. To call a primary election elm ly
for the purpose of selecting a committee
would be an expensive and trc-üble.-onto
procedure and with the rorer.css slid re
maining from the primal y it is doubtful
If either side would welcome an order for
another primary in the mar future.
In this juncture a solution has been
suggested which would appear to meet
all the conditions and tend to party har
mony without the necessity of calling for
a primary election or a mass meeting or
even an agreement between the factions
for' a compromise committee.
The suggestion has been made that both
sides agree upon Mr. T. Mayhew Cun
ningham, Jr., as chairman of the party,
and that he should be authorized to se
lect a committee of representative Demo
crats without regard to factional affilia
tion, taking care to see, however, that
any partisans selected from either fac
tion should be balanced by an equal num
ber from the opposing faction! By this
means It Is believed that a committee
could be secured which would be much
more satisfactory to Ihe party at large
than would be the case should the com
mittee be chosen at a primary or by
compromise.
In casa of a primary or mass meeting
each side would place a partisan ticket
in the field and the committee elected
would be entirely devoted to the interests
of a faction. Past experience has proven
that this does no* give satisfactory re
sults. Should there be a compromise each
side would name an equal number of par
tisans with the chances for the control
of the committee hinging upon the de
fection of one or more of the members
from the side for which they were ap
pointed.
It is argued that the plan suggested
would give a more satisfactory committee
and one composed of a better cias3 of ma
terial than could be obtained in any other
manner. The committees would represent
the entire party and not any one faction,
ard Its control wou’-l not depend upon (he
defection of someone or more of tho
weaker brethren.
Mr. Cunningham’s con luct as referee
of the recent primary was so thoroughly
fair as to be entirely above criticism, and
the discretion and ability which he ex
ercised In deciding all questions present
ed to h‘m won praise from both sides. As
chairman of the party he could be relied
up>on. It is agreed by both factions, to
exercise the same fairness, ability and
discretion and with the same qualities ap
plied In the selection of an executive com
mittee the party might be saved in the
future the threats of bolting, disruption
and charges of unfairness which have
menaced it in the past.
It is no new thing in Chatham county
for tho chairman to select the committee.
This was the rule for years and there
was rarely any complaint in those days
against the decisions of the committee or
revolt against its authority. If the two
factions are In starch of an easy solu
tion of ihe present situation the selection
of Mr. Cunningham, it is claimed, would
seem to furnish it. This could easily be
arranged by unanimous consent from both
sides and the rest would be easy.
There is street talk to the effect that
some of the defeated candidates in the
recent primary will run as Independents
in tho regular election on the ground that
the free use of money in the primary vi
tiated the results. The rumors are to the
effect that Capt. John R. Dillon, tax
receiver, Coronor John Goette and Mr. Ed
ward J. Whelan, sheriff of the City Court,
are considering this step and that they
will unite their forces for this purpose.
While these gentlemen may feel that they
have some reason 10 be .dissatisfied with
the recent primary It Is doubted if they
will take any such step as that rer>orted.
It is generally taken for granted that the
large majority of the voters who partici
pated In the recent primary will support
the successful candidates In the regular
ejection and that even those who are dis
satisfied will simply express their
dissatisfaction by remaining away
from the polls. It has been
some years since there was an
independent ticket in the field in Chat
ham county and it is to be doubted if
such will be the case this year.
DISSATISFIED WITH VERDICT.
F. C. A P. Wants n New Trlnl In Dam
age Suit Brought Against It.
In the Surprior Court Yesieiday Messrs.
Denmark, Adams & Freeman, attorney*
for the defendant in the recently tried and
determined ease of Collins, Grayson & Cos.
against tho Florida Central and Peninsu
lar Ralirond, filed a motion for anew
trial.
When tho case, which was an action of
damages for injury said to have resulted
to a carload of cabbage belonging to the
plaintiffs, by reason of the negligent and
careless handling of the servants and
agents .of the defendant, was tried, the
jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiffs.
The motion for anew trial is on the
ground that the verdict was contrary to
the evidence and to the charge of the
court.
Mr. R. 1,. Colding, who represents the
plaintiffs, has agree! with the defendants'
counsel, that thirty days shall be allowed
to file a brief of evidence in the case and
that the motion may be amended and new
grounds added under the legal and usual
restrictions In such coses.

Theo. Eulenherg, the ex-red hot man,
Is in trouble again. This time it is
Magistrate’s Court.
Eulenberg was arrested some ten days
ago on the charge of lunacy preferred by

discharged, but had hardly left the Court
House when he was arrested by an officer
of Magistrate Kline's Court on a charge
of having threatened hls wife with vio

keeping the peace.
Eulenberg says he has been badly treat

all of the money he had, but is anxious
to get rid of him. and that hls recent ar
rest for lunacy was but a part of her
scheme toward this end. lie told the Mag

the attendance at the Masonic Fair last
night, but still the receipts were gord.

tioned off, and this mode of disposing of
donations will continue each night until
all of the donations have been disposed of.
Mr. Thomas E. Youmans will be the auc
tioneer. Great bargains wilf be offered
at these sales and there is no doubt ihat at
the low prices at which they will be scVl
they will go quickly. No further matinees
will be given, as the ladles have been so
steadily at work for nearly three weeks
that it is thought that to request (heir
presence at two openings a day would be
something of an imposition.
To-night Zerubbabel Lodge will attend
the fair for supper after meeting at the
lodge room and conferring the E.A. degree.
Members of sister lodges are invl.ed to at
tend the meeting and the supper.
All members of the auxiliary of Zerub

Among the booths last night Comvnan
dery disposed of quite a number of articles
among them being a lamp, a center piece,
a rifle, a suit of clothes, and a lap rote.
Zerubbabel awarded a valuable chair and
several pieces of fancy work. Ancient
Landmark disposed of quite a number of
its donations during the afternoon, the
articles now remaining at this booth are
the larger and more valuable ones, and
as there is a large number of options al
ready sold on these it is likely that they
will be disposed of within the next day or
two.
Landrum booth awarded a handsome cut
glass cream and sugar set, walking cane
and umbrella, and several smaller articles.
Clinton gave out a case of cordials, case
of coffee, onyx center table, carving set,
overcoat, and Truxedo suit.
Solomons booth did an excellent general

Mr. Percy Sugden gave an interesting
demonstration of the gum bichlomate pro
cess of picture making before the Camera
Club last night. The process Is that by
which many so-called "art pictures” are
made, particularly those seen In exhibi
tions. It admits of the use of almost any
color, and the effects produced are de
termined by the artistic ability of the
maker. Few pictures of this kind have
been seen In Savannah exhibitions, and
the demonstration by Mr. Sugden. which
was complete, beginning with the prepara
tion of the paper and ending with the
finished picture, Is likely to cause a stim
ulus to the making of pictures of this
class. They are made on almost any kind
of paper from ordinary writing paper to
that of the finest quality.
At the meeting of the club next week
"Retouching” wilt be discussed.
