ger depotla last night and was dangerously
injured. There was no one in the build
at the time except the watchman

standing at the foot of the stairs when
johnson started down, little before Md

ed to be suffering terrible pain.
His right side and the back
OF his neck and right shoulder were bruis-

peared to be the most serious. Neither
the Waterman nor his fellow-clerk knew
Johnson's first name or where he lived.
About 1 O'Clock this morning, johnson.

ditlOn.

Hands of Advertising Fakirs.
From the Neaodrb Press.
A pretty, rosy-cheeked young lady,
with a sealskin sacque and travelling bag
Of alligator skin, drove up in a carriage
and asked for a room until the following
day, when she said she was to be Joined
by her sister, and together they were
going to Philadelphia. She was ladylike
evidently respectable, and having asked
for large and airy room, said she would
pay extra for such one lift could be pro-
cured. Wesupplied her wants, giving her
a room next to the sitting room. She was
the best talker L ever heard. Well, sir,
she ingratiated herself with one of the
chambermaids, telling the latter that she
had taken fancy to her, and would get
her good situation when she got to Phil
adelphia, and when the servant went
about making up the beds, would go with
her into the different rooms, chatting all
the while. and flatteriog the servant. and,
would you believe tits the actual fact
while the chambermaid was making
the beds, that she-devil was plastering the
loOking-glasses with How to make PIN
Piles disappear 'How to have a lovely
complexion
There wasn't room in the house. nor a
secluded apartment that there would not
stare them in the face the moment they
looked into mirror-and you know that's

ters rO0m-a recommendation how to
improve the appearance of the face they
were looking at. After she got all her
fine work in, but, Of course, before / no.
ticed it, she stepped out to do a little
shopping, and guess she must have lost
her way, for she hasn't returned yet. But
l shan't advertise her as missing.

Don't Want to Pay.

There is some litigation probable be-
tween the Pullman palace car company
and Comptroller General Wright. The
law levies tax on the amount of bust
ness done by the company in the State.
Comptroller General Wright wants the
tax on the total sales of tickets made in
the State. The company wants to pay
according to the pro rata amount of the
tickets used in this State. That is, if a
ticket is bought for a 1000 mile trip and
costs $40, and 100 miles of the 1000 should
lie in Georgia, then the tax should be on
one-tenth of the price Of the sleeping car
fare. The comptroller general takes the
other view. The matter is not in the
courts yet, but will probably get there
before long.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

What Those Who Have Read 1t Say
About 1t.
There are certain people who have a
habit Of asking daily, Anything in the
paper this morning"'
But they did not ask it yesterday.
President Cleveland's 14column mes
sage was more than they could digest, and
it was surprising how few people read it
during the day. Nearly everybody post
poned the perusal until night.
In the afternoon a NEWS reporter was
given list containing the names OF sew
eral of Savannah's most prominent citi-
Zens who were to be interviewed on the
Presidents paper. Judges, leading men,
bers OF the bar, politicians, bankers and
business men were one after another
ASKED their opinion. The Inevitable an
swer was: 81 have not read it yet, but
put it by for tonight"
A few gentlemen had glanced through
the message and gathered a sort of idea OF
its contents. The people seemed to be q
little surprised at the length of the docu.
ment, President Cleveland's former pub
lie utterances having been brief. The few
who did read enough of the message to
form en- opinion OF IL, spoke of il as a
sound and well-written paper. The Presi.
dents views on the silver question are
those OF the bankers generally of the
South. His remarks on civil service
reform were read by all who had time tc
read any part. Everyone recognizes the
fact that tine efforts OF Cleveland to reform
the civil service will be the Distinguishing
feature which will mark his administra.
ton in the history OF this country. There
is an impression that whatever reform is
accomplished will not be lasting, and thai
belief was expressed yesterday by many

The examination of witnesses in the
case of Curtis & Wheeler vs.. l.. W.

on which the plaintiffs levied at the time
and previous to the levy. w. Fl. Wade,
who had tried to collect bill from l.. W.
Wortsbaum for goods purchased OF curtis
q Wheeler, testified that ne visited the
defendants place Of business several
times, and always found i. w. Worts-
baum in possession. On his last visit the
clerks were taking stock. The defendant
and his vile were seated on sofa In the
store. The witness continued:
II asked Mr.. WOrtsbaum to pay the
bill, ana his wife interrupted with the
remark, The goods in this store are
mine Mr.. Wortsbaum Immediately
nudged his wife, saying; There, don't
say any more. Don't you remember the
lawyers told us not to talkP"
This last part of the witness evidence
provoked general smile at the expense
of the defense
This morning the case will be argued
by the counsel, Messrs. G.. N. West and
w. ii. Wade for the plaintiffs, and Gar
rard & Medium for the defendant.
There was dearth of witnesses for the
government when the case against James
Swaringer was called in the United States
Circuit court. The defendant was
charged with committing perjury on the
trial of liquor case in the United States
court last year He is an Augusta lad
and looks to be about Is years of age. AS

prosecution the District Attorney entered

An unoccupied house on the southwest
corner of Duffy and Habersham streets
was totally destroyed by fire between mid
night and / O'Clock this morning. The
flames were first discovered about u

from box 80, corner of Wayne and West
Broad streets, about 2:45 O'Clock, caused
by the discovery Of fire in the store on the
corner Of Wilson and Walker streets, &C.
cupied by Mr.. Jelks. The flames
soon spread to the adjoining
tenements, aud despite the heavy rain
that was falling at the time four or five
houses were burned. At the late hour at
which the fire was gotten under control,
it was impossible to estimate the
amount of loss or to discover the occu-
pants OF all the tenements. At the hour
Of writing, 40 O'Clock, the flames were
under control. The firemen were
promptly on the ground, Notwithstanding
