Against Mcniber* of n Colore*l Com p<uot, Await Trial. Conrt Costs the State J$rHS Per Se a I o n. The first session of the general court - martial, ordered T>y the Governor and commander-iin-ohief. to try the charges preferred fey Capt. M. Wilson, of the Republican Blutts. against Corpl. R. P. Harris, ice? fi.tst session at the First Regiment of Infantry Armory Ist night. Little other than the organization of the court was accomplished. Lieut. Barrow tread the orders from the office of the ad jutant general convening tLe court-mar tial. and inquired of the accused, who was {present, whether he had any objections to the court as constituted, or to any indi vidual member of it. Harris answered he had none. He then offered Capt. J. Ferris Cann us his counsel, and the per mlssidn of the court to Capt. Cann serving in this capacity was promptly granted. Then came the organization of the court. The judge advocate, Lieut. D. C. Barrow, first administered the oath to the num bers of the court. Lieut. Col. Thomas S. Wylly, Jr., Mej. Thomas Screven, ('apt. Patrick, F. Gleason, Cipt. Charles II Richardson, and Second Lieutenant George H. Richter, and the president of the court. Col. Wylly, In turn, adminis tered the oath of his office to the judge flovooate. Mr. John Bell was sworn in as official stenographer. A triangular colloquy between the pres ident of the court, the Judge advocate and counsel for the accused then ensued, •as to the expediency of an adjournment, the judge advocate and counsel uniting i h a request that the case not proceed .it once. Both Capt. Cann end Lieut. Br -tow suggested Friday evening, as the earl iest time at which they could convenient ly proceed. The copy of tint charges and specifications had not been served upon the accused until a few hours before the court-martial assembled, and neither he •lor hia counsel had had opportunity since they had finst seen the charges to exam ine them carefully and arrange their evi dence in rebuttal. The court retired to consider this ques tion and upon returning to the room in which the session w as held announced that the recess until Friday evening would be Jtaken. Then the case against Harris will he taken up and pushed to as rapid a con clusion as the rather voluminous nature of the evidence will permit. This case con cluded, the court will proceed with the trial of three others, based u|*>n charges preferred by Capt. James 11. Carter, com ma tiding Company F, First Battalion of Infantry, G. 8. TANARUS., colored, against three ot his men. Four charges are made by Capt. Wilson against Corpl. Harris. They are absence without leave, cursing his superior offi cer, being drunk and disorderly and in subordination, to the prejudice of good or der and military discipline. All of the charges and specifications are based upon the alleged ill-conduct of the accused dur ing the trip made by the company to Louisvilk?, on the occasion of the Confed erate reunion, in May and June of the present year. Stripped of military ver biage. they allege that Corpl. Harris, aft er being placed under arrest for being drunk and disorderly, cursed and abused Second Lieutenant George J. Barthelmess and then broke arrest, never rejoining his company during the entire period of its absence from the slate. The charges against the members of Company F. of the First Battalion of In fantry. colored, are to be taken up after the Harris case has been concluded. One of the defendants. James C. Walker, is charged with threatening to strike his su perior officer with his rifle, and, after Utrit was taken away from him. to stab the t-ame officer with his bayonet. This is alleged to have occurred in the company armory, on July 21. Private Edward Brin son is charged with having aided and abetted the insubordination of Walker, finally drawing a revolver in his defense. The third of these cases is that of Corpl. Edward D. Browne of the same company. On July 27, while the company on parade. say the specifications, Browne threw down his ritle in the street, refused to return to the armory when or dered to do so and "cursed and abused the company in general." A detail, consisting of Corpl. Thomson and Privates McCabe and 'Herman, has been provided to act as bailiffs of the court and to maintain order during ns fceesions. A court-martial, even under the state laws, is not a very inexpensive proceed ing, and it is likely that the state will have to pay out a quite respectable sum before it has been satistied as to the guilt or Innocence of the several accused to be .tried by the court now assembled. Each member of the court nnd the judge advo cate, under the military law, receive a per diem of $3, the stenographer is entit led to a per diem of (3 nnd the detail acting as bailiffs to a per diem of $1 each. The session of last night cost the state just S3G and each additional session, whether it last five minutes or five hours, will cost a like amount. Future sessions of the court will be held in the company room of the Republican Blues, which is much cooler than the officers’ room of the armory, where the session of last night was held. RODK OX THE LEFT SIDE. Bicycle Accident nt State nnd Ilnll Streets tlie llennlt. A negro bicyclist riding south late yes terday afternoon, at State and Bull streets, turned to his left around Wright Square nnd ran into a Indy riding a w heel In the opposite direction. The negro was riding at quite a high rate of speed and the lady received a bad fall in conse quence. The negro dismounted, but when a num ber of the persons in the vicinity of the accident and who had gone to the assis tance of the lady, attempted to secure him until the arrival of a i#o!iceman, he ran, leaving his wheel. He was chased some distance by some of the gentlemen, but proved too fleet-footed for them, nnd made his escape. The wheel was turned over to Patrolman Christie, who took it to the barracks, where its owner will have to call for It if ho wunts it again. The lady, though complaining of several bruises, managed to continue her ride. SUPPOSED BURGLAR CAPTURED. Objected to Giving I p Several Kina* That He llikl. William Henry, colored, was arrested yesterday morning by Detective (iarrlty n* a suspicious character. He is supposed to be the man wanted at Mcßae for a Job of burglary committed there on June 24. Whan searched at the barracks a silver watch and several gold rings were dis covered. The latter he strenuourly object ed to giving up. and they had to be taken away by ton Henry Is ulno MUpi*t*i to be ihacn.rti who a abort time age rxiwned • valuable gold w*uh which was sub**- quern)y recovered by Detest lvs Murphy. CARRIED OUT BY THE TIDE. W. Hoirdeii of Columbus Drowned nt Tybee. Mr. W. A. Bowden of Columbus, was drowned in the surf at Tybc© Sunday ! night. His body has not yet been found. | nor in the opinion of those familiar with the tides, is it likely to be. as he was I drowned shortly after the ebbing of the tide l>egan, and hat* probably been washed out to oca. Nothing of the accident was known in the city until yesterday morn ing. whin the early train from the island arrived. All that is known of the affair is (he story of Mr. R. E. Waller, the dead man’s brother-in-law, who was vvi h i lm w nen n> went ino the surf. He eay that he and Mr. Bowden arrived in the city early Sun day morning on the Central’s excursion from Columbus, and that they went im mediately to Tybeo. which they reached about 11 o’clock. They spent the day ii. knocking around the island, the greater part of the time on the >each. Mr. kow was not familiar with surf bathing, and expressed a great desire to try it, but was dissuaded from the experiment by his brother-in-law. Ikx!i on account of Ins lack of familiarity with the ocean, and the fact that the sun was extremely hot. Later in the afternoon Mr. Bowden came acres.'; a body of water near trie railroad track and again wanted to go in bathing, but was prevented by the fact that it appeared to be quite deep, and he was unable to swim. Mr. Waller also pomp-d out ae an argument against it, that >t was not patronized by the other visitors to the island. About 7:30 o’clock Mr. Bowden deter mine,! to try the surf anyway, and went to the hath house for the purpose of get ting u bathing suit. When told that ho would have only about half an hour in the water, he decided not to take the suit, but !at<-r on he made the statement that he didn't intend coming 300 miles and then not pet a bath, and toll his brother-in law that he was going down on the beach, and. ns it was dark, eo in without any suit. Mr. Waller refuse! to join him in the bath, but nt his solicitation accompa nied him to the beach. They went, he said, some little distance south from Hotel Tybee, where they were staying, nnd then Mr. Bowden, stripping to his undershirt and drawers, waded in the surf. leaving the other man to rake care of his other clothes. Mr. Waller soys that Mr. Bow den had been in the water but a ahort time when he asked him to come out. but that instead of complying with his request he only waded further out. until, nt lost after two or three rollers had gone over his head he was lost sight of. Mr. Waller shouted and walked some distance along the beach trying to entoh a sight of him, but failing, at 10 o’clock, went to the hot~l nnd notified Mr. Graham of the affair. Search was immediately Instituted for the body, but ;hough the beach was patrolled all night, ami a watch kept for it all yes terday. ir has not yet come to light. Cor oner Goette is of the opinion that the Tody may come ashore off Warsaw*, nnd sent a mnn fo that island to look for It. Mr. Wniler returned home last nitrht. The cleod man. was 33 years old. He leavre i wife and four young children. A telegram apprising his family of his death was sent in the afternoon- by Mr. Waller. Mr. Graham, proprietor of Hotel Tybee. ?ai<i that bathing suits would not be rented at the hour when Mr. Bowden wenr in the surf. It was after 8 o'clock, and there was a strong ebb tide running’ Bowden wore no bath suit, -and nobody about the hotel knew that the men were on the beach. “After Mr. Waller reported that he feared his brother-in-law was drowned,” said Mr. Graham, "we got lights and bo.lt and did nil we could to recover the body.” I) 11 %\K LAl’DA.\ni TO |)IE. Alnbet Osborne, of the Colored Dcnii ■lionde, Tired of Life. Mabel Osborne, a colore 1 member of the demi-monde, who lives on McDonough Street, mar Bast Broad, attempted sui cide yesterday morning by drinking lau danum. Her condition was discovered by or.e of the inmates of the liouso before it had reached a fatal stage and a doc tor was summoned who brought her around all right. The Osborne woman figured in the Re corder's Court only a day or two ago, being charged with keeping a disorder ly home and with enticing white girls from South Card na to come to tilts city for immoral purposes She was fined (75. It Is said that it was the io-s of this amount together with the break that she had recently with a white friend, that in duced the fit of melancholia which prece ded and was the cause of her attempt on her own life. H AIXS AM> STURMS PROMISED. Yesterday's Upon Temperature Only 812 Degrees. Yesterday the temperature again was well within the bounds of comfort. The maximum, which occurred at 1 o'clock, was SO degrees, while the minimum, oc curring at (> e. m., was 74, giving a mean of 82 degrees. The forecast for to-day and to-morrow is for local rains and thunder storms. Tht hot spell which has been on for two weeks or more has run up the excess of temperature for August to 100 degrees above the average. The month has been an exceedingly dry one, (he shortage of rain so far being approximately 544 inches. It may be that both the excess of temper ature and the shortage of rainfall may be lessened somewhat during the remain ing few days of the month. VISITORS Mirim THE I’OIRS, Snvnnnnli’a Street* Lined Wllh In sightly AVire Props. A visitor to Savannah after n ride around the two trolley belts said yester day that Savannah lias mere electric wire po'es on is principal • reels than any city I e has ever virited.

The Fnrrliime of Site Will Re (on na in in 2l ted Till* Week—Seventeen Acres Ronxlit From the City nt Per \er©—Mr. Macknll North in Conference With Officer* of Southern and Dn nt System*—The Depot Will Re in Use by Next Sum mer. Mr. J. Randolph Anderson returned yes terday morning from Atlanta, bringing with him a budget of interesting informa tion as to the union depot to be erected h< re. Mr. Anderson pays that ground for the depot will be broken within ninety days. The purchase of the property obtained from the city for the erection of the de pot will be consummated this week, when a deed to the new terminal company w'ill be prepared and executed. The deed will be for seventeen acres of land, at SSOO per acre. Mr. W. W. Maekall is now at the North, where he will have conferences with the officers of the Plant System and Southern Railway relative to the organization of (he Union Depot Company. The charter from the state has already been secured and it is probable that the organization meeting will be held some time next week, or as soon as Mr. Markall returns to Sa vannah. Within n nety days, Mr. Anderson thinks, giotind for the depot will be bro ken. It will take that much time to pre pare final plans and estimates and get things in readiness for beginning con struction. The city ordinance, forbidding the digging of the soil before Nov. 1, would prevent the beginning cf actual operations before that time at any rate. Within six months afier construction is begun the depot will be completed and in use. Savanna hi ans may thus count confident ly upon the depot before next summer. Fr. Anderson docs not believe* there is any doubt that by that time trains will be entering and Raving it. MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL. Ordinance fo Compel Removal of Weed* Will He Introduced. At a meeting of Council this afternoon an ordinance will be introduced making it incumbent upon property-owners to re move weeds from vacant lots, and pro viding that if the owners of the lots fail or refuse to hove the weeds removed, they shall be removed by tho city and the lot owners charged with the expense. The bill will be introduced at the re. quest of the sanitary board, tho practice of permitting weeds to grow throughout the city being considered by it detrimental to the health of the people. At this sea son of the year the weeds begin to die, nnd then to decay, and the decaying vege tation breeds disease?. Then, too, they cover a quantity of filth, that wouKi be discovered and removed if the ground were kept clean. It is these considerations that have in duced Health Officer Brunner nnd the sanitary hoard to recommend the adop ter. of the ordinance that is to intro duced this afternoon. The public mind does not s em to be altogether made up on the subject and it may be that some opposition to the passage of the ordinance w’ill develop. The ordinance already introduced, pro viding for tie repeal of the ordinance or resolution of Council under which Depu ty City Marshal Kelly holds his office, will also be considered at the meeting this afternoon. It is generally believed that the introduction of this ordinance con templates the removal of Deputy Kelly, who has served the city for a long period of years. His friends are watching the de velopments in this situation with close in ter* s'. SCARCITY OF EGGS. The Effect Hum llccn to Run the Price \\ n y I |i. Since the scarcity in the egg market, prices have jumped sharply, and are now around the top notch. The market seem ed firm yesterday at 18 to 20 cents for first-class candled stock, and the slock to pick from was limited. It is estimated there were probably not over a hundred cases of eggs in nil hands during the day. There is ordinarily a large demand for eggs in the local market, and when a scarcity comes it is attended with a Jump in the price. Unless supplies come from Tennessee or some other market, the chances are present prices will be main tained. The receipts yesterday were small, nnd what came were not in satisfactory con dition. due to the warm weather. Know ing the risk of loss on account of the weal her, shippers will be slow to sonslgn stock. Conditions never favor a continuance of a “corner” long, however, and the chances are the market will soon be abundantly supplied. FUNERAL OF JOHN HARRISON. Will lie Attended by Pity Council nnd Mn*nn*. The funeral of the late messenger of City Council, John Harrison, whose death was announced in the Morning News yes terday, will take place at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon from Christ Church. It will be at (.ended by the Mayor and aldermen and Zcrubbabel Lodge of Masons. The ffag on the City Exchange was at ‘half mast during yesterday nnd will remain so until after th£ funeral. Mr. Harrison was a familiar figure about the Exchange. Although he had been complaining for some time he was at his post last Friday. During tho day he was compelled to quit work and was taken at once to the Savannah Hospital, where he died Sunday night. APPOINTED CHARLES A. C. HA DOT. Mayor Myers Annirs Him Mrssrnger of Connell Ad Interim. Mayor Myers yesterday appointed Charles Gradot messenger ol Council, to serve pending the election of a successor lo the late John Hfrrison. A meeting of Council will be held to-.low and It Is prob able that an election to fill the position will then be ordered by the board. It is likely that the ad interim appoint ment will le matte permanent os a result of thp election. Mr. Gratiot Is a |>opular young nmn, who it* close to several of tile leaders of the administration. 80 far no formidable opposition to his election for the remainder of the dead messenger’s term has developed.

The new fire engine recently purchased by the city from Fire En gine Company was twice tested yesterday, once in the morning and again at i:3O o’clock in the afternoon. The second test took place at Bay and Bull streets, in front of the City Exchange, and was witnessed by a crowd of three or four hundred persons. The tO'St was most satisfactory from every view point. The company manu facturing the engine, had sent on Mr. Charles Annour to conduct the trial, and K was under his directions that the exhi bition of the fire-fighter’s points was mad*'. The force of the pumps sufficed to throw a one and three-quarter-inch stream fif teen or twenty feet above the vane of the Exchange, and two one and one-quar ter-inch streams, the size usually used for fighting Are, to the top of the vane. Supt. Maguire of the fire department, who witnessed both experiments with the new engine, expressed himself as perfect ly satisfied with its performance. In :h* patent relief valve, with which it is equipped, it possesses an advantage over all the engines in use by the city, even the? one last before purchased, as the stream mnv be turned off at the nozzle and the engine kept at full speed. By means of the valve the water is forced around and around the reservoirs, instead of through the hose. This will permit easy and quick handling of the apparatus when it is demanded. The- engine is located temporarily at No. 2 Engine House, while the engine that does regular duty there, almost the twin of tho new one. is being repaired. it is probable that after the repairs are com pleted the new engine will still be retain ed at No. 2, while the one it thins re places will be removed to No. 1. REER CHARGED AS POTATOES. So Air. William* Refused to Pay Rill Und I* Sued. An interesting case in Magistrate Wick ham’s court yesterday was a suit for £55. brought by Mrs. M. A. Prenty, against Charles N. Williams for groceries and similar goodis, nnd the garnishment pro ceedings brought -to secure the payment of the amount. The account, according to the testimony of the plaintiff, had been running since December, 1898, until March, 1899. The de fendant, through his attorney, stated his willingness to pay for the groceries, but denied that nil of the goods charged un der this head were groceries. According to the testimony of the plaintiff and Mr. Bcytagh, her former clerk, the Williams family ran an account with Mrs. Prenty for groceries and other comestibles, but it had l been Mr. Wiiiiams instructions, that on no account was either beer dr whisky to be charged on this aceoun*. This instruction, according to the wit nesses, Mrs. Williams got around by hav ing the liquors sent and charged under the head of groceries; beer and' whisky be ing sometimes charged as potatoes, meal, cabbages, or under any name other than its real one. After the hill had been standing some time and had reached a considerable sum the defendant to the suit called on the plaintiff to nay it. He was preceded by his daughter, however, with a message from her mother to Mrs. Prenty, asking that the full bill be not presented to her husband, but that the amount be made not over $25 and that she would pay the remainder. This Mrs. Prenty did not do, but showed a statement for the total amount, and this, on the grounds before mentioned, Mr. Williams refused to pay. Garnishment proceedings were then re sorted to by tho plaintiff, but the defen dant, through bis attorney, claims that being a laborer his salary is not subject to this process of collecting. This ques tion also was argued at length. The mag istrate reserved his decision until to-mor row at noon. HIS PROPERTY WAS DIA’IDED. Estate of John Harrison Shared Be tween Ilia Son and Step-son. The will of the late John Harrison, messenger of Council, was filed for pro bate in the office of the clerk of Court of Ordinary on yesterday. The property of which he died possessed is divided by the terms of the will between his son, Thomas Harrison, and his step-son, Charles Hopkins. The will was executed in March of last year. It directs that a lot on Charlton street, between Montgomery and West Broad streets, be sold immediately by the executor and that the proceeds shall be first applied to the payment of the testator’s debts and funeral expenses, in cluding a headstone that is to be reared above his grave. Of <he remaining por tion of the proceeds, S3OO is to be given to Charles Hopkins and the rest and resi due to the son of the testator, Thomas Harrison, now a resident of Screven county. Two lots in Meinhard, on the Seaboard Air Line, are also given to his step-son. All the rest of his property goes to his son. Mr. Robert 11. Tatem is made the executor of the will. COMMITTED FOR IYSAMTY. Jeff D. Daniels Brooded Too Mliell Over the Death of His Child. Jeff D. Daniels, a young blacksmith, was committed to jail yesterday morning on the charge of lunacy, the warrant be ing sworn out by his wife. Mrs. Daniels gave, as the explanation of the step she feit oollrd upon- to take, her fear that her husband would do himself an injury, while he was in a period of dementia. Six months ago the unfortunate man lost by death his youngest child, and the sad event preyed upon his mind constant ly, producing a condition of melancholia that has developed into actual insanity. He bears an excellent reputation as a sober and lndustrous man. He has many friends, and it Is their hope that he will soon recover from his present lamentable condition. THOM ASVILLE PASTOR TO WED.

The work of erecting the shower bathe at the range is being rapidly pushed and the baths will be in readiness for use by the time ihe matches begin and probably before. Frames are also being erected, on which tarpaulins will be stretched above ihe firing points, so that the riflemen will be shielded and protected in some meas ure from the sun. Col. Cann has also arranged for the erec tion of a grandstand. It has been sug gested that a number of those who visit the range while the matches are in prog ress will find it uncomfortable unless some special provision is made for them. It is for these the grand stand is being erect ed and for seats in it a small fee will ba charged. j WAS A LADY FROM HEAD TO “FI T.'' I Cnrlona AVay In Which n llennfort ti nmen ncscrihed Herself.

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS REWARD For Information I.ending to the Con viction ot' Persons Having Refilled Empty Bottles of Coke Dandruff Care or having adulterated or tampered In any way with the original contents of the same. Extensive frauds have been prac ticed by a large number of unscrupulous barbers.who have lately used spurious and often injurious preparations in “Coke Dandruff Cure” bottles, palming them off as the genuine Coke Dandruff Cure. Certain dishonest jobbers have offered to barbers spurious goods, in color like “Coke Dandruff Cure," representing that their goods are the same as the genuine and that the barbers can use them in “Coke Dandruff Cure” bottles. Barbers are warned against such fraud*. These imitations are not the same as “Coke Dandruff Cure" and to use thorn in "Coke Dandruff Cure” boltles is a misde meanor, punishable by tine and imprison ment. The A. R. Bremer Company has decided to protect its customers and has instructed me to prosecute all who imi tate their packages, refill their bottles, or palm off bogus goods as the genuine “Coke Dandruff Cure.” Any communication relating to the de tection of such frauds will be treated with strict confidence.
