TWO NARROW ESCAPES,
Involving the Lives Of Three of Our
Citizens.
A Mill Man MangIed Between Cal
Bumpers---Upset on the
River.

Yesterday morning about s o'clock, Robt.
Clues, who works at the Belmont mill as
brakeman on the yard engine, received seri-
ous injuries that may yet prove fatal. 1t
TENS that a car was standing in the mill
IN q curved side track, and the engine, with
aDother car attached, was backed in to make
a coupling with the first car. Clues was
On the short side of the curve, and as the
couplings were long ones, no doubt thought
he was safe in making the coupling from
this side, as he had doubtless often done
before. But this time he missed
his calculations and the coupling
bar missed its mark. This allowed the cars
TO come almost together catching Clues
Just under the arms and almost crushing
his sides in. He was Immediately carried
to the engineroom of the blast furnace and
DR.. Reeves was called, but the shock was
so great that it was sometime before the in
iured man could be brought around, and
this was only done by the aid of several
h%yperdermic injections of brandy, which
undoubtedly saved the mans life, as his
heart had almost ceased to beat. After sensi.
bility was restored he was taken to his home
corner OF Market aud T~wenty-ffth streets
where the doctor made a further examiua-
tion. He thinks that an artery in the liver
has been bursted and other serious internal
injuries are sustained. However, he will
be able to tell more accurately this morning
While there are hopes that he may recover,
still Clues is in a very dangerous condition
and may not live a day, although the doctor
reported that he was doing as well as could
be expected, last evening.
Narrow Escape from Drowning.

BONANZA DIACKAY's DINNER

He Feeds His Friends on Indisestible
Delicacies, but Sticks to Plain Things
Himself.
At the table next to ours, says a New
York letter, half dozen walters seemed
to be in great agitation and anxiety, and
all the preparations were of such an I'M
usual nature we became ourselves not a
little curious to know for whom there
was such f1utter and excitement. Covers
were laid for three, a curious sort of
bread, radishes. with green leaves intact,
making pretty, f1Ower-like effect. The
crisp, white hearts of lettuce, a curious
small picked fish and several other hOrs
d'9uvres were arranged and re-arranged
on the table.
Our waiter, seeing our chances that way,
volunteers us this information: "That
table is for Mr.. Mackay, the great mil
liOnaire. He dimes here every night. The
reason we have the radishes and lettuce
arranged that way is because he is French
and can't eat like Americans do" SIS
he French, reallyY' l inquired. ~
thought he was an American" "Oh,
no." the man gravely answered; "he's
genuwine French, and very rich. Here
he comes" And, sure enough, enter Mr..
Mackay, the Frenchman, with two COM
panions, also French, l suppose, but bear
ing the tell-tale feature on their cOunte-
nance which stamps every child OF Israel.
Mr.. Mackay may be French-he looks
Irish. He is not tall, neither stout nor
thin-has hair and moustache of gray,
almost white, pallid face. and weary
and disappointed manner.
was curious to see how he would
manage the radishes, with the long, green
trains, and admired the excellent judg-
ment when l saw him press these MONS
tiers of indigestion on his hungry friends
and devote himself to bread meanwhile.
l was quite ready to acknowledge his
good sense when l also saw him insist on
sharing his portion of the greenery, yal.
lery salad between his guests, and made
up my mind he was a great, truly great
man from the moment l watched him
force the little picked fish down the
unwilling throats of the unhappy crea-
lures, whom he evidently takes with
him to do the great French act, while he,
with Spartan simplicity, confines himself
to chopped beefsteaks and weak tea,
which ne drinks by the quart all during
dinner, alternated occasionally by min
eral water. While his friends, like human
anacondas, consumed everything within
reach, the great bonanza prince modestly
finished dinner with a baked apple.

ThotIand Grant Road.

! The Brunswick Herald IN Its last issue
| has a few words to say about the state
ment that has been quite widely circula-
/ ted To the effect that a company, called
the East Georgia and Florida Railroad
/ Company, was organized in that city last
week. 1t was also stated that this COM
pany had entered into a contract with
/ the Florida Railway and Navigation CON-
many ofor a traffic exchange for ninety
! nine years between Harris road and Jack
souviIle.- The Herald claims to have in
vestigated the statement and reaches the
conclusion that il has no foundation. The
Herald entertains the opinion that the
East Georgia Railroad Company exists
on paper rather than anywhere else, al d
that if the people along its proposed
route should make the grants of land for
which they are asked, they might have
| less land. but would not, in all probable
| tv. have the desired railroad.
We do not know much about the al
| legged company or the proposed railroad
Both the road and the company, if we are
not mistaken, were spoken Of in very
complimentary way a few weeks ago by
the Augusta Chronicle.
OF course the people along the line OF
the proposed road will demand assurances
that the road will be built before deciding
away any Of their land. They are the
parties most deeply interested, and it is
reasonable to expect that they will not
permit themselves to be overreached, II
indeed there is any intention 10 overreach
them. They know what they can afford
to give, or whether they can afford to
give anything towards building the road.
We haven't anything TO say foror against
the company, because We know nothing
about it. We are free TO say to the people
interested, however, that they ought to be
sure that they are to be treated fairly be-
fore entering into binding engagements

ing the face opposite to him, "but it's
your name L can't remember"
"By G., you've called the name often

head of hair as white as the driven
snow. "EOr," he added, sis your hair

together over forty years ago."
Then the two Old-time Democratic
leaders-men who had fought the party's
battles for halt century-began to talk
about the restoration of their party to
power, and at last Gen. Jones inquired
what Office Col. Armstrong wanted. The
Colonel replied that he hadn't asked for
anything yet. Gen. Jones said he never
enjoyed better health in his life, and init
mated that he was still young enough to
serve his country and his party,

SPIES IN THE DEPARTMENTS.
Hazen to be Retained as Clerk of the
Weather


1t is a question, says Washington spe-
cial to the New York World, if the Civil
service law should be exercised to protect
the majority OF the people in the depart
ments. 1t is fact that all the outside
corporations that have been plundering
the government have their agents and
spies all through the departments. Nearly
all Of these spies are re tanned in the SER
vice. They apparently feel duty bound
10 report every investigation threatening
their old employers. A prominent law
yer in this city, who has had great deal
Of experience in the Interior Department,
said: 81 have presented a number OF cases
to Secretary Teller for investigation. 1t
has been my custom to find that the peO-
pie against whom l had brought
charges, would know of my action
almost before had gotten out Of the de-
partment. / was bound to believe thaJ
his confidential clerks about him were
simply so many spies. l have been in to
see MIR. Lamar since. l fnd the same
clerks around him that were employed by
Teller. l am going to wait few weeks
and see whether they stay there or not
before l present any further business OIL
this character" He then went on to say
that there was hardly an office in the de-
spies among the most quiet and 1noHen-
sive looking clerks.
Hazen, the Third Assistant Postmaster
General, is retained, and 1t is understood
at the department that he is not to be dis
placed There is no greater partisan in
the department than he. In the last cam
paign circular was sent out under his
direction. 1t was written by him in 1876.
1t was gotten up, with the aid OF clerks IN
his office, for the purpose OF showing the
difference between Democratic and Re
publican administration. This pamphlet
has done yeoman service in three cam
paigns. Tue display heads HpOn the out
side OF the pamphlet are as follows:
'sThe post office before and since 1860

istratiOn. Letter of Hon. Abraham ID.

aud COrruption;' Saving of Sill 1891, O62 81
During Republican Administration; =
State Rights and Violation of the Mails; >
| Democratic Confessions of Failure and
| Republican Achievements ETC., etc."
| The pamphlet is made up of the most
| elaborate partisan misrepresentation OF
| the figures In the books of his office. Upon
nearly every page Of the pamphlet the
| Democratic party is charged with dishOn-
esty and incOmpetency. 1t is hard to I'M
| derstand how Mr.. HaZen could consent to
remain in the department under the d.
rectiOn of party which he has so often
denounced as corrupt and incompetent.

its long lease Of power. One OF the living

A Mr.. Hubbard, bay fisherman, says
that late in the spring you will often see
a school of about fifty small catfish, not
more than quarter of an inch in length,
very near the shore, ana if you look ten

Young. MIR. Thomas Davis, of this city,
some time AGO told us that he had noticed
this care of a mother catfish FOR her young.
He said that he has often seen the young
fish swimming about in the shallow
water, while the old fish would not be far
off. If danger threatened, the old ''catty"
would rush in among her young, and by
a vigorous motion of her fins stir up the
mud until the water became discolored
and the young fish could no longer be
seen. When the water would become
clear again neither old nor young fish
would be visible,
