supply Of dressed turkeys and chickens
would be promptly shipped in. One dealer
stated that he had already sold several
hundred live turkeys. and had sent con-
ditiOnal order for sixty barrels OF dressed
turkeys, only about One-half the number
Of the latter TO be deliverediif the weather
should continue warm. The tennessee
turkeys are generally large and in good
condition when killed, hence. If the
weather should be cold, the dressed lO"l
will reach here in excellent con-
ditiOn. The live turkey IS gen.
orally preferred by dealers when
the Christmas season happens to be a
warm one. The price Of dressed turkeys
is from 10 to 20 cents per pound, or about
10 cents less per pound than at this time
last year. Live turkeys are held at from
81 to 81 each, according to weight, and
extra fine being readily furnished at the
latter mentioned sum. In addition To
the number Of dressed turkeys that are

RAILROAD NEWS.

Mr.. J. c. Shaw, General Travelling
Agent of the Central Railroad, returned
yesterday from a trip OF several weeks
through the North and West in the ill.,
terest of his road.
Mr.. ]. T. Hosford, recently appointed
General Travelling Agent of the Georgia
Traffic Association, with headquarters at
Chicago, is in the city. After remaining
a few days in the interest Of the assOcia-
ton he will make trip through Florida,
returning thence to the West.
Since the appointment of Mr.. c. D.
Owens Traffic Manager of the Savannah,
Florida and Western and Charleston and
Savannah Railways and the Peoples Line
of steamers, with headquarters in Savan-
| nah, Mr.. j. D. Hashagen will have charge
Of the New York office as Eastern Freight
Agent.
The Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
| Railroad will fence in 80 or go miles Of its
tracks with barbed wire, in order to
avoid the annoyance and irritation caused
| by the killing of cattle by the trains OF
this road, and to protect the trains from
| danger by coming in contact with herds
while running at their usual fast rate Of
| speed.
DeLand AdTicuLturiSt: 1t has been ru-
mOred that a petition is being circulated
| by parties here to have the Bond Railroad
! stopped at its present terminus, instead
/ ofhaving it built through to the west side
| of Woodland boulevard, as Mr.. Bond has
| pledged TO do. This petition is all right
as far as those are concerned in front Of
| whose property the railroad will pass, but
we believe the public generally will be
| better served if the rOa is completed to
where the contract calls for. We believe
| Mr.. Bond to be too much of a business
man to be induced by petition Of that
| kind to break his contract, which might
cause him lots of trouble.
The city of Anderson, S. c., has voted
| an additional subscription Of $4,000 to
| the Savannah Valley Railroad, which
will insure its early completion. This road
will pass within seventeen miles of Elber-
ton at its nearest point, and we learn that
the people on the Carolina side are anX-
| iOus for a branch road to Elberton, so
much so that they are willing TO grade
| il from the nearest and most accessible
point on the Savannah valley to the Sa-
yannah river, and also to do their part in
! building a bridge across the river. II
this is true, we think there is little doubt
! but that the people on the Georgia side
will do as much. If the people will do the
| grading and furnish the crosstles, there
! will be no difficulty in getting the road
equipped. This branch road would give
the people of the Carolina side much
nearer outlet to the West than they have
at present, and would give this section of
| Georgia a direct connection with Charles
ton, Port Royal, Savannah and Augusta.

Narrow Escape from a Fatal Accident.
What for a time was feared might be a
fatal accident occurred on Congress
street IN front Of the Screven House early
Yesterday afternoon. \ little 3-year-Old
child Of Mr.. John b. Collins, Of st. Louis,
accompanied by his parents, was passing
through johnson square. Upon going out
Of the south gate on the Congress street
crossing, the little fellow ran ahead and
attempted 10 cross in front Of team
driven by john MerinO, cOlOred driver
in the employ of A. W. Harmon. The
driver saw the danger which the child
was in and attempted to stop his team,
but was unable 10 do so before the
little fellow had been Knocked down
by the horses and the front wheel OF the
carriage had passed over his body. The
father rushed forward and seized the
child from under the wheels. The mother,
who was near and saw the occurrence,
ran to the spot. 1t was thought by those
who witnessed the accident that the child
had been killed. 4 crowd collected and
the little fellow was taken into
the ScTeven House, where Mr.. Col
Inns is stopping. DR.. L. d..
Nichols was rumOred, and an eXamIna-
tiOn showed that no bones had been
broken. and there were no indications OF
internal injuries. A few slight bruises
only were apparent. The accident was
seemingly unavoidable. The team was
being driven slowly, and could have been
stopped had the result been fOreseen.

Of justification, and recommended him to
the "discretlOn" OF the court. Calvin was
sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 or in de-
fault to be imprisoned one year without

ment. His whereabouts were finally as

mitter itself.
The object Of the trumpet is 10 reduce tue
tone of the voice so that it can be heard
more distinctly and without any enOrt on
the part of the person speaking. IL IS
used extensively in all the large cities OF
the North and West. but has not yet been
introduced in the South. A series OF eX-
perfments made yesterday proved its efI-
cheney in a wonderful degree. A whisper
uttered through it could be heard as dis
tinctly as the voice in its full volume, ana
with no confusion Of sound. n very low
conversational tone is usually used when
the Trumpet is attached, giving no annoy
auce to persons in the office or room
where the conversation is being carried
on. The trumpet is entirely separate
from the transmitter, simply resting
against it. and is attached by neat ar
rangement to the wall, so that 1t IS a
wholly independent affair.
