The K*;i Rifle? of Statesboro ?rent the forenoon and two hours of the afternoon yesterday on the Avondale range, put ting In good work at the butts and estab lishing a record more than creditable to carry back with them to their Bulloch county homes. The Rifles reached the city on the Sea board Air Idne train in the early morn ing and went immediately to the range. The company was under the command of Lieut. R. J. Proctor, w ho, since the resig nation of ( apt. Blit- 'h, is its senior offi cer. The roster showed besides the fo.- lowing officer and men, who took part in the trip to the city and the practice at the range: Lieut. D. R. Groover, Jr.. Commanding Sergeant Perry Kennedy, First Sergeant Ji. J. McMillan, Sergts. Sam Hall and Leon Hall, Corpl. W. V. Tyler, John Jones and Custis Mikell, Privates M. S. fienrborough, Louis Scarborough, H. B. Franklin, Dempsey Barries, John Barnes, T>. M. Dorsey, Ben Grimes. Sam Proctor. Peter Mikell, J. D. Jones, A. T. Jones, Joe Fletcher, M. W. Waters, P. C. New come and L. Newsome. Gus Floyd, the custodian of the nrmorv at Statesboro, enme down with the company to look af ter the physical comfort of the officers and men of the Rifles. Capt. C. H. Richardson, acting inspec tor of rifle practice of the First Regi ment of Infancy, met the Rifles at the station and proceeded with them to th - range. During the practice that followed Capt. Richardson acted as range officer, supervising the movements of the men in firing at the various distances, and in the several positions, and keeping the record of their scores. Capt. W. E. Coney, adjutant of the regiment, was also or the range, and Col. Lawton- lent the Rifles the encouragement of bis presence and approval for a period during the forenoon. Tne conditions for good shooting were not altogether favorable, the heat on th tmprotected range being oppressive and the dazzling glare of the sun rendering it difficult to take direct aim at the targets. In addition to these obstacles the men were shooting on n range they bad probably never seen before, over which certainly they had never shot, and with whose various i>e?uliarities they were altogether unacquainted. Consider ing all of these unfavorable conditions th* record that was made was on exceedingly creditable one. This opinion was freely expressed by both Capt. Coney and- Capt. Richardson, who complimented Lieut. Proctor upon the proficiency displayed by hie* command. . Two-third? of the company made the rec ord at the known distances that entitled them to shoot on the skirmish end three qualified as marksmen. The beet score, one of 89. was made by Corpl. W. V. Tyler, but Lieut. Proctor and Private M. S. Scarborough were not very far behind. Others, too. made cred itable scores. After the practice had been concluded, 01 2 o’ciock in the afternoon, the officers and men of the company returned to the city, where they spent the remainder of <he day and the evening as best pleased thdm. Some member? of the command returned to Statesboro last night, but others, perhaps the majority, remained over until to-day. Among theee were the officers. Lieut. Proctor and Lieut. Groov er. and First Sergeant McMillan. The Rifles are a so di r y and well dis ciplined tody of men and they made a good appearance and created a good im pression at th* r„nge. The officers say the company was never it better condi tion, and that the spirit was never high er than at pres nt. It is increasing daily In numerical streng h. and In itself is a valuable addition o the strength and ef ficiency of the Fir.-t Reg ment of In fantry. At the annual a bn* and rifle compe tition for Georgia State Troops, robe field here on Sp . and 4. the Rifles will be represented 1 y a company team. There 1* a range at Sta eshoro and the com pany will p actioe there between now and th** firs' day of the competition, in order to fit itse f for this event. It may be I hat the team will not b* able to carry n'vay the prze- from teams representing other c mpanps. that have had more and better oppor unities for practice, hut It will at any sate exemplify the military ©pirit that prevails at Statesboro, and the determination to fisht for horors that is one of the chief attributes of the good f-oluler. WITTE TO HE RELEASED. Money Hun Been Rained nml Fuse Will Be Dropped. It Is expected that George H. Witte, a former cUy drummer of the Savannah Orocery Company, who managed to mulct Ws employers for some $2,000 or $3,000 and get away with it, but who was subse quently captured in New York, will be released from custody within a few days. WLtte was indicted by the grand Jury for larceny after trust and has been un der confinement at the county Jail since his return, under the escort of Sheriff Sweeny, from New York. It was believed that the effort made some time ago to compromise the case, upon the repayment of some portion of the money appropria ted, would be successful, but they fell through because of the failure of Witte’s friends to raise enough. Recently these efforts have been renew ed and the money secured. This nec essary sum, said to be SI,OOO, i.s to be turned over 'to the Savannah Grocery Company, which Is (hen to withdarw its prosecution of Witte on the charge of larceny after trust. The indictment will be nol prossed.the case dismissed and the ex-city drummer given his liberty. Witte has verw many friends in Savannah who will welcome his release from custody. WEDDED I* EARLY MORNING. Mr. \nvler R. Lange and Miss Willie W. Newton. Mr. Xavier B. Lange anl Miss Willie W. Newton were married yesterday morning at 'the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. L. A. Newton, 407 Brough ton street, west. The ceremony took place a: 6:30 o'clock and was performed by Rev. K. W. Cawrhon, who Is supplying the pulpit of the First Baptist Church In the ci/sence of Dr. Jordan. Th* marriage was very quiet one on ac c mt of the recent death of he brldo's fatn-r, only the most Intimate friend* an-l 4is!lves being present.

Detective* (hnrged AYlth Intimidat ing tlelnnd and Keith Lari*. The two lads. Robin Cleland and Allen Keith, who were arrested by Detective?* Garrity and Stark, for the Gillespie and Miscally house burglaries, were discharg ed by the Recorder yesterday, without a hearing, on account of their tender aces. Both Mrs. Cleland, mother of the Cleland boy. and Mr. Keith, said after the hearing that no plea of infancy was urgt-d or coun tenanced by them, and believing their children Innocent, they feel a wrong and injury has been committed. The itarenfs of both boys wanted a full hearing of the chargee they said. They were ad vised that they have no redress in tho courts, and can do no more than to ask the public to consider the tender age of the lx>ys, and their natural terror under arrest to account for the confession made to the detectives. No corroborative evidence ;hey say was obtained by the officers, and the charge was based solely, the parents claim, upon the recr.minations of the little prisoners tind<r threats of the chain-gang which both dedlare were made to them by the detectives. Mrs C eland said tl at she was lying down in her room 'lue djy morning and was aroused by hearing a conversation between Detective Garity and her son in the yard. She said Mr. Garity told her son he knew he entered the houses and took 'he pistol as Allen Keith had conf s-ed and had told everything Robin denied the accu sation even when she entreated him to t< II the truth. Th° det ctive took the boy to the barracks where she said she was refused premi-s.on to see him until the arrival of Supt. Screven, when the children were brought before her In the superintendent’s office, and accused each other alternately of leadership in the crime. Supt. Screven allowed the boys to go with their parents under promise to appear when wanted. Before the Cle land lad had gone a block from the bar racks he told his mother. she said, that what he had before the superintendent was untrue, and that he had been frightened into saying that he was guilty by the threats of the de tectives, and that Allen hid been treated the same way. Mr. Keith made substantially the same statement in regard to his son, and both he and Mrs. Cleland soy they had wit nesses present to prove that their chil dren were at home when ;he burglaries were committed. Garrity and Stark, the detectives who investigated the burglaries and arrested •he boys, said last night that the state ment they were in any way intim idated is absurd In the light of the boys’ confessions made in the presence of Mrs. Miscally and Mrs. Cleland In Mrs. Mis eally’s house. When the boys were first secured, the detectives said, they were taken to the house of Mr. Miscally. There Mrs. Cleland, with Mrs. Miscally, heard all the questions asked and the answers that were given. As to the boys’ treatment the detectives sy they are at a loss to know in what way they tan be cri ici ed. The biys were really, they say, not arrested. They were not taken to the barracks in the patrol wagon, and even after being taken to the barracks were not lock-d up. As to the hearing before Re corder Hartridge and the un satisfactory way in which it terminated to the parents, the defectives say that the Recorder asked couns 1 if they were willing to waive the question cf the boys age* and have the case tried on its mer its. and that counsel, or, at least the at orney for young Keith, refused the pro position. Had the attorney for young Cle land so desired, he could have waived the claim of youth and secured a trial. DIED IN THE MORNING HOI RS. Ml** Mamie Lung’* Bright Life Enlel by Denth. Miss Mami* Lang passed away early yesterday morning Hrr death occurred at the home of her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Lang, at West Broid and Hull streets, after an illness of about two w eks In the frimall hours of yesterday morn ing. in that interval between night and dawn when so many souls cro.-s ithe river 13 the great beyond, she died. Miss J*ang returned last June from Elizabeth College, at Charlotte, N. C., and was spending her vacation wi h her parents. She would have returned to the college next month, for th? purpose of completing her (duration, had the grim reaper spared her young life. She was a sweet and attractive young woman, and her death has caused very profound griff among the many who knew and loved her. The faei that it had been expected with a greater or Uss de gree of certain y for the Jast three or four days served to take away something of the shock, but it less n-d not the sor row of these it bereft of their dear one. The luntral will fake place at 4 o'clock th s afternoon from the Lutheran Church of the Ascensicn. In the absence of the pastor, Dr. W. C. Schaeffer, the services will be performed by Rev. J. W. Nease, who is filling the pulpit, and Rev. M. J. Kptlng of St. Paul's The* pallbearers will be Messrs. Th- mas Sweeny, William Brown Arthur Wagner, Charles Don nelly, 8. Cock and William Fish. TO KVTKR BATTALION TEAM. Fir*f llnftnllnn of First Rejrlineiit Will Be Kepre*ont‘d in Cont**t*. A meeting of the officers of the first battalion of the First Regiment of In fantry wa* held at the Regimental armo ry yesterday afternoon at which it was determined o enter a team from the bat talion in the regimental match that will form part of the rifle competition to take place next month. The ruels of the competition permit (he battalions of a regiment to enter separate team* and the first battalion will take advantage of thi* provision. Capt. (\ H. Konemann of the German Volunteers, Lieut. Georg** H. Richter of the Savannah Cadets and Private T. G. Phllpot of the Jasper Greens were appointed a commit tee to select the battalion team. The members of the committee are among (be be\ shots in the battalion and are, of course, certain to make whatever team ip selected from its ranks. It Ip expected that the Savannah Vol unteer Guards, composing the Second Rt talion. will also enter a team In this match. The Guards number enough sharpshooters, members of the various teams that have won laurels In years past at Sea Girt, to make them confident of success. However, there will be good ahots on the team of the First Battalion and on the teams of other regiments, and If the Guards win the trophy they will probably have a light for it.

OPPOSED TO SHIRT WAISTS. MAYOR MYERS DOES NOT VIEW THE MOVEMENT \\ ITH FAVOR. Mould Detract From the Dignity of the Police to Permit Them to Go About With Only Him* Flannel Shirt* and Trou*er*. He Say*—Doe* Not Think There In Any Demand for Sneh n Departure Any Way. Saw Comparatively Few Shirt Wnint* While nt the North and Think* the Movement n Fad W hich Will Soon Die Out. Mayor Myers does not regard the shirt waist movement with favor, either for city employes or the male public general ly. The Mayor was asked yesterday if he would approve a movement to permit the police to dispense with their coats ' during the remainder of the heated term and to appear simply in blue flannel shirts and trousers. ‘ Not in my present frame of mind,” said the Mayor. ”1 have heard no complaints on this score from the police or other city employes and I doubt if the discomfort, if any, i.s such as to warrant such a de parture. It would detract somewhat fr>m the dignity of the police to appear without • heir uniforms, and it might encourage lax ■methods in other directions.” ‘‘l>l*l you see any police in the shirt waist garb during your stay at the North?” the Mayor was asked. “I did not.” he replied, "and I doubt if there are any. Neither did I observe any great tendency towards, the shirt waist business anywhere. In New York City the business men and their employes took off their coats, if so inclined, while .it work in their office©, but put them on again when they went on the streets. Neither did I gee many people on the principal thoroughfares without their coals. There were some few with very nice taiiormad-e shirts, and, of course, the workingmen were to be seen in their shirt sleeve©, but this is no new style with them.” “1 was down at Manhattan Beach 6ev eral times, but the shirtwaists were de cidedly in the' minority Over at Coney Inland I have no doubt that shirt waists were quite the fashion, but I did not eo there.” “You don't think much of the. shirt waist movement then?” he was asked. “No. I think it will die out like any other fad. Ir will probably be forgotten by next summer.” There are a great many people in Sa vannah. who do not agree with Mayor Myers on this question. On the contrary some of them are so firmly convinced of the future popularity of the shirtwaist that they would be willing to wager something that the members of the next board of aldermen will sit around the Council table In their shirtwaists a year hence. The shirtwaist might be made an issue in the coming municipal campaign, but for rhe fact that the mayoralty fight takes places during the overcoat and not the shirtwaist ©eason. The Mayor Is up against a popular de mand in nearly all of the newspapers of the country for shirt waists or some oth er reform in men's dress for hot weath er. The shirt waist movement :s less than two months old, and yet it has reached in a modest way nearly the entire coun tiy and shirt manufacturers are already preparing to put on the matket r.exr sum mer an attractive garment that will meet the demand of men who are ready to brave the, anti-shirt waist sfntiment, and make the movement a successful one. Half a dozen cities in the North, accord ing to reports, have sanctioned reform in police uniforms by allowing the police to weir p o erly regulated blue flannel shirts In place of Numbers of so cial entertainments are reported over the country among the best people where the men have appeared in shirt waists. Just now the movement Is b-irg agitated in the University of Chicago, and by popu lar consent of l>oth the men and faculty cf the university, the shirt waist or neat negligee shirt has been sanctioned. It is row in good form for a man to wear a negligee shirt or shirt waist and belt in the classic precincts of Chicago’s center of learning. MARRIED VERY' QUIETLY. Nuptiali of Mr. Henry R. Smith nndf Ml** Ague* Boyd. Mr. Henry R. Smith of Clyo, and Miss Agnes Clyde Boyd of Screven county, were quietly married yesterday morning nt the residence of the undle of the bride, Mr. W. G. Brewer, No. 309 Waldburg street, west. The ceremony was perform ed by Rev. W. K. Cawthon, acting pas tor of the First Baptist Church. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and j Mrs. Jeff Boyd of Screven county. For time past she and her mother have ' been in Savannah in attendance upon her grandmother, Mrs. A. O. Boyd, who has been critically ill. On account of this ill ness the wedding has been several times postponed, but Mrs. Boyd, recently rally ing and greatly improving in health, it was hurriedly determined that it should l>e consummated. On account of Mrs. Boyd’s still serious condition, however, the wedding was very quiet, only the fam ilies of the contracting parties being pres ent. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Smith left for Lookout Mountain, where the honeymoon will be spent. Mr. Smith is in charge of the lumber interests of Mr. Horace I*. Smart nt Clyo, and there he will make his home with his bride.

A negro woman who had been arrested in Woodvilie on a charge of lunacy and brought to the Court House for commit ment to the county Jail, created consider able consternation' in the office of Clerk Keilbach of the Court of Ordinary yester day morning. The woman was Retie. ‘ca Brown. She has been mentally unbalanced for some length of time, but It is only recently that she has become dangerous to those by whom she was surrounded, her mania having taken a homicidal form and re sulted in assaults that created consterna tion in the neighborhood. While in the throes of one of these attacks she assault ed h- r aged mother and nearly succeeded in killing the oid woman before assistance could arrive. This was the crowning stroke, and it was determined to cause her arrest and incarceration and subse quent removal to the state sanitarium at Mllledgevllle. Bailiff Gailiard, who is a resident of the suburb in which the woman has been liv ing with her husband, was called upon to make the arrest. He did make it and brought the woman, accompanied by her husband and brother, Tom Garrett, to the office of the clerk of the Court of Ordi nary at the county Court House. The circumstances were explained to Clerk Keilbach. and he went into an inner office, accompanied by the men who were to attest the correctness of the facts, to draw the warrant for lunacy. While he was thus engaged Gatilard and the woman were left in the outer office. The lunatic occupied herself foolishly as lunatics will, scribbling unintelligible notes on an office pad and munching a huge sausage. Suddenly she sped across the room and began to take up various articles from the desk of the clerk. At this point Gaitlard ventured a miid re monstrance, telling the woman that she must leave the desk alone. His remonstrance seemed to imbue her with a wild fury, and in half the time it takes to tell It she had snatched a sharp paper knife from the desk and, brandishing it in her hand, started for the bailiff. Perfectly cognizant of the fact that this was one of the occasions when discretion was much the better part of valor, Gailiard retreated. When Clerk Keilbach and the others rushed from the Inner office to the one In which the row was taking piace the woman was stand ing within two feet of the bailifr, with the knife upraised and ready to strike. The men rushed upon her and overpowered her, but not until she had succeeded in inflicting considerable damage upon the wearing apparel and cuticle of Officer Gailiard. Even with her arms pinioned her tongue was fr, e and she poured forth a volley of profanity and b 1 ingsgate that Mr. Keilbach described as ‘'something awful." Finally she was placed in a police patrol wagen and sent to the Jail, hut she sent a number of Parthian arrows, winged shafts of profanity and abuse, behind her as she departed. Gailiard is a rice field negro of the old type, and a very funny one. He was a comical looking object w-hen he reported in the sheriff’s office after the encounter, and to hear him tell of the manner in which the woman had attacked Mm was more comical still. He talks a Gullah dia lect that the uninitiated would need a glossary to enable them to understand, and he was more than a Ptle excited. "Dat ooman is bad licker," he concluded. BAILEY GIVEN HIS LIBERTY. Not Guilty of the Offense With Which Blltch Charged Him. John Bailey was tried In the City Court yesterday morning before Judge Norwocd and a Jury. Bailey had been arrested at the instance of H. E. Blitch, who charg ed him with stealing an anchor. The evidence war not extensive, and ev idently came came very far from convinc ing the jury of the guilt of the accused. On the contrary it must have served to convince them of his innocence, for with in a few minutes after the retirement to the jury room a verdict of not guilty was returned. Baiiey was given his liberty. There have been other interesting de velopments from the same case. Because of Blltch's charges that Bailey had stolen the anchor, which he seemed to have cir culated freely throughout the section of the county in which both of the men live, the latter had him arrested upon a war rant issuing from the court of Magistrate Nelson, and the magistrate required him to give bond to keep the peace and be of good behavior. The warrant issued in this case charged that Blitch had committed a breach of good behavior in that he had slandered Bailey, by saying he had stolen the an chor. Blitch, evidently laboring under the impression that he had been arrested on a charge of slander, an offense not known to the criminal laws of the state, had filed in the City Court a notice directed to Magistrate Nelson, notifying him that he Intended to institute an action for dam ages in the sum of *5,000 against him. The action, if it is brought, will be based upon the magistrate's alleged malfeasance in causing the arrest of Blitch for an offense not known to the statute books. THE HALLY IN HINESVJLLB. Local Option Candidate Named In Second District. Mesrrs. J. R. Creamer and F. XV. Campos returned yesterday from Hines ville, where they took in the senatorial convention of the Second District the diy before, and caueussed with the poli t clans in that neck cf the woods. As an nounced in the Morning News, Hon. Da 'll A. Smtky was the successful candi date. His opponent, Mr. Warned, was oply in the minority by two votes, how ever. Mes-rs. Creamer and Cameos were well p eased at the result. Mr. Smiley is a lo cal optioti man as against slate prohibi tion, while Mr. Warned had not express ed himself on this question. The rally of the politicians of the First Congressional District did not amount to much, the crowd on hand being much mo e interested in discussing the recent tmeute between the whites and the blacks at Liberty ( tty. Strong condemnation was expressed up n acme of ihe sensa tional newspaper repoits sent out about the affair, in which the imagination of the t orr. s on lei is wa- frciy exercised The conservative repor sf the Morning News were heartily endorsed.

Where There Are no Lane* the Re ceptacle* May Be Placed Inside the Property Line* Within Five Feet of Gnte Entrances—Must Be Acces sible to Scavengers Between 7 a. in. anil H p. m.—Sanitary Board Wants Weeds Cot Down on Veranl Lot*—Ail Ordinnnce Introduced by Alderman llorrigan Looking to the Creation of the Position of Deputy City Marshal. The garbage ordinance. Introduced some time ago by Alderman Dixon, was adopt ed by the City Council yesterday after noon. The ordinance has already , been published and discussed at some length. It requires all garbage, of whatever char acter, in boxes or barrels, to be placed outside of the lane gates of houses by 7 o'clock in the morning. The ordinance is an amendment to section 759 of MacDon ell’s code, and repeats the requirements of that section that dirt, ashes, tin cans, and other non-combustible material, shall he placed in separate receptacles from pa per, vegetable matter and combustible waste generally. An important amendment to the ordin ance was made at the Instance of Aider man Dixon, which provides that where there are no lanes, the reseptacles may be placed inside the property line and with in five feet from the street entrance, where they may be accessible to the scavenger men from 7 a. m. to 8 p. m. of each day. This is intended to obviate the objection which has been raised that to place the garbage barrels on the curb line of the sidewalks, where there are no lanes, would be decidedly objectionable for many rea sons. It is also provided that where there are narrow alleyways, on which are about three or more houses, it shall be the duty of the occupants of these houses to pro vide a box or barrel at the point where the alleyway opens on the street, in whic'h it shall be their duty to deposit all matter and material for th% scavenger wagons. It is made the duty of the san itary inspectors to see to the carrying out of the amendment. The penalty for violation of the ordi nance is a fine not to exceed SSO and im prisonment not to exceed ten days, either or both in the discretion of the court. When the ordinance was under consid eration Alderman Bacon remarked that he saw no reason for requiring separate receptacles for Combustible and non-com bustible matter, as the city crematory is no longer in use. Alderman Dixon re plied that this requirement existed In the section of the code amended and had ex isted for the last ten years, remarking at the same time that but little effort had been made to enforce it and that it was not generally observed. Why- not leave it out altogether then?” inquired Alderman Bacon. Direc tor Gadsden offered a word. "The ashes, brickbats and tin cans,” he said, “are used to fill up low places in the streets and cme in qu’te handily for this pur pose. Then again we only have to haul t is met rial a fho:t di tance while the foul garbage has to be hauled two miles outside the ciiy limits. This is quite an item to the scavenger department.” On this statement of the C3se the re quirement for two receptacles and sep aiaticn of garbage was allowed ro remain. The ordinance was then adopted without dissent, including the am ndment b.w Al derman Dixon, permitting occupants of houses to place the garbage receptacles inside the pioperty lino where there are no lanes. Alderman Horrigon introduced an ordinance to repeal section 15 of the tax ordinance for the. present year. This is the section which authorizes the Mjiyor to appoint, with the concurrence of a finance committee, a competent person, as an assistant to the tax assessor and city treasurer wi h the spec al duty of looking out for parties who fail to make tax returns or take out licenses. This po si ion has he n filled for a number of yeats by Mr. E.-J. Kelly with the nom inal title of deputy marshal. Alderman Horrigan, when asked the mo tive for the ordinance, said, that it is in tended to pave the way for the election of a deputy marshal. “At present,” he said, “the city is without a deputy mar shal, end in the absence of the marshal, as is the case at present, there is no one qualified to discharge the duties of the office," The ordinance will come up on its sec ond reading at the next meeting of Coun cil. Alderman Dixon's ordinance for the Im provement of Bolton street, between East Broad street and the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway track, by paving wiih Augusta gravel, was read a second time and laid on the table, the legal num ber of votes requisite to pass the ordi nance not being present. At communication was received from Health Officer Brunner conveying a reso lution adopted by the sanitary board at its meeting Tuesday, requesting Council to cut down and remove all weeds grow ing in streets and vacant lots, this step being urged as one of immediate neces sity. There was some discussion as to whether the cost of cleaning up vacant lots should he assessed against the lot owners, or whether it should be borne by the city. Director Gadsden said that this work cost the city $1,300 last year, though he did not think there was quite so much to be done this year. The mat ter w'ae referred to the Committee of the Whole. A communication was received from Dr. C. McKane, offering the McKane Hos pital and training school to the city on condition that the institution be main tained by the city for the benefit of the colored people, and the training of colored nurses. The communication was refer red to the Committee of the Whole. Miss Margaret A. Cosens petitioned Council for an appropriation of SSO for equipping a coffee wagon to he used in supplying the firemen with hot coffee on the occasion of fires at night.

Judge Faliigant yesterday granted a temporary restraining order, prohibiting Abe Gross, Tom Cross, Alonzo Williams and Adam Jackson from removing the soil from Marsh or McAlpin’s Island, lo cated west of Hutchinson Island, in the Savannah river. The order was issued upon the petition of Messrs. Henry McAlpin, A. C. McAl pin and J. W. McAlpin, Jr., Mrs. Mary E. Walker and Mrs. Maria McAlpin Sch cy, who are the owners of the island. The petition sets forth that the defendants are removing ihe soil of the island, against the wish and protest of the plaintiffs, and that irreparable injury to the property will result unless the writ of injunction issue. The remedy at law is stated to be inadequate to the demands of justice and the protection of the plaintiff’s interests. Judge Faliigant set the hearing upon the application for a temporary injunction for the morning of Aug. 27, when the defend ants are directed to appear in court and show cause why the temporary restrain ing order already granted should not be continued in force.
