record season extended. SHARPSHOOTERS AND MARKSMEN MAY QUALIFY UP TO SEPT. 10. Col. George T. Conn, Inspector Gen rrnl of Rifle Practice, Han Recom mended the Extension of the Sea son From Aug. ffl to the Dote Named Above Extension Will probably He Made in General Or der* Within a Few Days, but It In Assured Even No tv—Change Means Much to Officer* and Men of State Troops—Regimental and Company Firing Reports Must Be Made Promptly. The record season for rifle practice by the various commands of the Georgia State Troops, which, under orders now in force, would have expired to-morrow, will be extended until Sept. 19. Col. George T. Cann, inspector general of rifle prac tice, has so recommended and the formal order from the office of the adjutant general will doubtless be issued within the next few days. In his letter to Adjt. Gen. Byrd, making the recommendation for the extension of the record season, which, by the way, was in response to a request on the subject from Col. Byrd, Col. Cann makes other and additional recommendations for the conduct of his department. It is practi cally assured that these recommendations will become part of the formal order that will be issued. These recommendations embody the fol lowing provisions: Company firing re ports must be in the hands of the regi mental inspectors of rifle practice on or before Sept. 24. Regimental firing re ports must be in the office of the in spector general of rifle practice, at Sa vannah, on or before Sept. 28. Firing re ports not filed in accordance with the above will not be accepted nor published in the report of the inspector general of rifle practice nor insignia be issued to offi cers or men on such defaulting reports. No officer will delay his own report by waiting for the report of a subordinate. It is expected that the order of Col. Byrd, issued in accordance with the rec ommendations of the inspector general of rifle practice, will be published on Mon day or Tuesday, but at the best and earliest it will come too late to relieve ihe minds of those officers and men of the state forces as to the expiration of the period when it will be possible for them to qualify. They will be glad to learn, therefore, that the Issuance of the order is an assured fact and that they will have almost three weeks additional on the range. The extension of time will permit many of the companies to moke firing records very much better than would have been possible had the season closed to-morrow. Every man who fails to go on the range at all during the year is marked fourth class In the reports of rifle practice, and his bad record counts against his com pany. Almost every man, too. improves in marksmanship as he continues his efforts, and it is the best score he makes that is counted. It is to the advantage of the company commanders, therefore, to get every officer and enlisted man under their command on the range as often as possible, so that the company record may be high. The more time they are allow ed, the greater success in this direction Is it possible for them to achieve. The suggestion made by Col. Cann for Col. Byrd’s consideration, that the gen eral 1 order on the subject of an extension of rime for the record season, should em body a provision that no officer in charge of rifle practice shall delay filing his re por; on account of the delay of a subordi nate, will, if accepted, be of great value. In the past this practice on the part of officers has resulted in officers and men entitled to receive insignia as marksmen or sharpshooters failing to receive their badges or buttons, as the consolidated re port of the superior officer would be held back because of a junior’s delay and the reports that had been filed in time with him reach their Anal destination, the of fice of the inspector general of rifle prac tice. too late to be received. The blame for all of this has fallen, in the estimation of the m**n who failed to receive their insignia, upon the inspector general of ri*e practice, and he doesn't care for it. If the regimental inspectors will forward their returns promptly, con solidating the company reports they have received and rejecting those they fail to receive on time, the blame for the failure of men entitled to receive Insignia in re ceiving badges or buttons, will fall whore it belongs, on the shoulders of their com pany commander. TATTNALL COUNTY’S FLYERS. A (luDoll of Fn*t One* Down for the Race*. J. H. Durrence, a popular horsemen of Tattnall county, arrived in Savannah yes terday, bringing with him the famous sprinter. Perry E, and two other runners. Mr. Durrence will remain here until after the Labor Day races. It Is rumored that the Tattnall county hors men are looking for more races and have brought two fast ones to catch some of the Savannah sprint* rs. Mr. Durrence expressed a willingness yesterday to match one of his horses against Ben Roy. If this race can be arranged, Manager Doyle will have the event take place Monday. The hackers of Kingful have had con siderable trouble in getting a jockey to lide the son of Kingston in his race against Perry E. Bennie Shaw was to have the mount, but a business engage ment at Charleston will prevent the Jockey from being at the park on Labor day. Kingful from all accounts will have a first-class jockey in the saddle. Mr. I>. J. Bowles of Augusta, proprie tor rf Bowles Driving Park, has secured the services of George Dennis to ride Kingful, and the little Jockey will be here to-day, and at once take charge of the horse. This race will be the most excit ing of Manager A. P. Doyle’s card for next Monday, and a great deal of money will change hands on the result. EARL LI’S DUPLICITY. Hi* Attitude Toward the Power* Ha* Been Made Clear. Anew phase of the Chinese situation has developed in Savannah. Li Hung Chang’s duplicity has been made clear. He is throwing insults into the very to*tb of the Powers, and a young Savan nah artist has set forth the double na ture of the dealings of China’s peace en voy. The w-ork of the artist has been indus triously circulated, and a number who r*fid this will recall the picture and Earl Li’s reply to the Powers. Li Hung is de* ploted in all the glory of the decoration of the peacock feather and Ihe yellow Jack* t, Hiding in the conventional Chinese fashion, while, running up anti down on either side of him is a row of what pur ports to be Chinese character* They hear a striking resemblance to the laun dry ticket you get when you leave your collars and cuff* with the Chinaman.

The me#sofe | S not esartly "All the n*4U*i# <*sn go to the devil*’’ *>ui U la to the purpose* SHOT BY TIIE CONDUCTOR. Claim Made in Damage Case Filed in the City Court. China Shackelford, as administratrix of the estate of Edward Shackelford, her son. tiled a suit for damages against the Charleston and Savannah Railway Com pany, in the City Court yesterday. Dam ages are fixed at SIO,OOO. and circum stances are alleged which render the story at once interesting and unusual. The petition recites that on the night of Jan. ib, of the present year, young Shackelford, a boy of 16, accompanied by two comi aniens. board el one of the freight trains of the defendant at Rav cnel Station, in South Carolina, for the purpose of steal ng a ride to Savannah. Shackelford and one of the other boys climbed beneath one of the cars of the train, perching themselves on the rods supporting the body\ The third boy se cured a similar position on the car in front. As the train slowed down, the conduc tor. evidently aware of the location of the boys on the train, walked down the track it. until he reached the car under which Shaeki lford was concealed. There he paused and peering under the car, drew- his revolver and fired at Shack <lf rd, the ball striking the bOy in the side. Exhausted by the pain and loss of blood caused by the wound. Shackelford dropped from the rods to the track, falling upon it with his head just under the wheels of the car. Then the conductor signalled with his lantern for the train to proceed, and it moved on, the wheels passing over the boy’s head and mangling and crushing it frightfully. It is alleged in the petition that the boy had no reason to apprehend or believe that the conductor would use such murder ous means in ejecting him frem the train, and therefore no opportunity of guarding against them. The net of the conductor is charged to have been wanton ond crim inal. and the death of Shackelford under such circumstances, to entitle his estate to recovery from the railway company, of which the conductor, at the time of the al leged assault, was the servant and agent. The plaintiff is represented by Messrs Twiggs & Oliver. FOURTEEN PRISONERS TRIED. Other nnl Interesting- Ca*en That Will He Heard To-day. Fourteen prisoners were before the Re corder yesterday. They were mostly on minor charges, however, and were let down lightly, though the fines collected amounted to $27. Sarah Calhoun, for allowing a vicious dog ai large, by whic’h a child of Ed. Cook’s was bitten, and also for resisting the arresting officer, was fined $5. James Wright, colored, arrested by De tective Stark on the charge of pawning the furniture and stealing the clothes of Richard Bogsdale, was turned over to the City Court. Mrs. Warner, of No. 310 Tatt nall street, who was wanted to testify in his case, refused to receive from the officer the summons and had, in conse quence, been placed on the information docket on the charge of contempt of court, a charge to which she will be call ed to answer this morning in the Recor der’s court. Another case that is on the informa tion docket and w-hich also will be heard this morning is that of J. H. Murken, who is charged by Mrs. Annie Futch of No. 4 Farm street wiih annoying, as saulting and striking her. Mrs. Futch and the defendant are near neighbors, but there has been bad feeling between them for some time and not long ago a suit for practically the same charge was tried in the court of Magistrate Jones. HAMILTON CAN GET A FIGHT. Corcoran Will Fight the Louisiana Man Alninnt Any Old Day. Reddy Hamilton can gtf-t a fight with Tom Corcoran whenever he comes to Sa vannah for the purpose. Corcoran said last night that he was willing to meet Hamilton whenever he oppeared on the scene and upon almost any terms. However, Tom has promised a fight to Tom Williams, whom he has already de feated in Atlanta, and if Williams still wants to fight, the Savannah boy feels he ought to live up to his agreement. But he will give Hamilton a chance at him as soon after the fight with Williams as possible. If Williams does not want the fight, why, then, Hamilton is welocme to the first shot. It ia Hamilton’s proposition to fight for all of the gate money, the loser receiving nothing. Thi9 proposition is altogether satisfactory to Corcoran and the plan would suit him better than any other. Corcoran says there would be no difficulty in getting up the fight and that if Hamil ton wants one all he has to do is to buy a ticket for Savannah and board the train. He will be given the warmest re ception in the ring that the Savannah welterweight keeps in the shop. WON THREE FROM LONE STARS. Chatham Baseball Team Victorious in Jacksonville. The Chathams.
