THEY WILL NOT STOP.
The Senatorial Party Missed ConneC
ton and Could Not Stop Here

The Senatorial Party Missed Connec-
ton and Could Not Stop Here.
The General Committee of the Jasper
Festival held meeting at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning to take action looking to the
reception of the Senatorial party which
have been making a hurried tour in
Florida.
Col Garrard stated the object of the
meeting and regretted that the Senatorial
party had missed connection and was UNI
able to reach Jacksonville in time to catch
the O'Clock train at jacksonville
for Savannah as expected. He
stated that if some special arrangement
was not made it would be impossible for
them to arrive before s o'clock at night.
He was trying, however to arrange it
otherwise. He proposed that when the
party should arrive if they could not reach
here earlier than last night, a strong effort
should be made to persuade the Senators to
remain over Sunday in Savannah, and that
such cOurtesies should be extended them
within that time as are possible.
A motion was offered and adopted that a
committee of five Of which Col. Garrard
should be chairman, be appointed to take
charge OF the matter and arrange for the
proper reception and entertainment Of the
distinguished visitors, the committee to be
empowered with full authority to increase
its membership if necessary. The char
appointed Col. J. II. Estill and Mr.. H. NJ.
Conner, Alderman Herman Myers and Capt
John Flannery.
Later in the day Col Garrard telegraphed
Senator Call at Jacksonville for a positive
answer whether the Senators would or
would not stop over at savannah, spending
Sunday here 1t was the intention of the
committee to entertain the Senators hand
sOmely, giving them a drive around the
4 \
direct answer was received to the invita-
ton. Senator Call, without acknowledging
the receipt of the telegram of inquiry and
iaVtation, telegraphed: Il am afraid we
cannot stop"
Col Garrard was not in the best of humor
when he was seen by a MORNING NEWS re-
porter last night over the manner in which
the committees overtures and protPered
courteSes were received, and he was not
! inclined to disturb his serenity any further
on the subject Himself and his colleagues
on the committee certainly did all that pro
priety required in an effort to bring the
Senators to Savannah and in extending the
City'S Inequalities.
Late last night the following dispatch was
received by Col. Garrard which settles the
| matter:
CALLAHAN, FLA, Feb. p.
| COL William GnrTGrd, Chairman:
The Senatorial party are now en- route to
Washington. Lack of time cOmpels them to
decline your courteous invitation.
WILKINSON CALL

Supt. Fleming, of the Savannah. Florida
and Western railway, in the afternoon to
inquire about the party. Supt, Fleming re

'Yeu little rascal, | shook hands with
you a while ago, but | will tell you good6y
now and as he took the urchins hand for
a second time he added: Don't try that
game on me any more, my little man
NOT ANXIOUS FOR HoNORs.
One Of the visitors had little boy in his
arms whom he told 70 shake hands with the
President. The latter reached out his hand
but the child for it was only a child
wouldn't extend its little digits. The father
threatened and finally, after a spanking,
tried it again. but the child was now too
much frightened or had too much spirit TO
surrender the point and the President gave
it up, the father passing on deeply disap-
pointed.
A very amusing incident is related of an
old lady who, when she took the President
by the hand, began 10 tell him that she was
born and reared near the Presidents native
town.
1--WE must have been near neighbors then,
my good madam" the President replied,
whereupon the old lady began to give de-
tailed history, which was lost on the Presl-
dent, as the crowd in the rear surgcd her
along and kept her going, but the good old
lady, imagining the President was being
borne along in The throng, is said 70 have
continued her story until the end, before
which time the President had stepped from
the platform TO the train, and was beng
rapidly borne further South.
Mrs. Cleveland seemed TO enjoy these
stops, and frisked about on the platforms
at the stations along the line like happy
school girl free from restraint, not standing
on ceremony, and in some instances fairly
dancing with delight at the varied scenes
which met her view in Southeast Georgia,

Death of Mr.. George T. Turner.

The many friends of Mr.. George T..

expected he gave up his profession and en-
tered the employ of the Central railroad,
where he remained until Feb. /, when his

THE DAY FIREWORKS.
The Display at the Park Witnessed by
Crowds OF eople.

Several thousand persons assembled at
the Park extension yesterday afternoon to
witness the display of day fireworks, the
first Of the kind ever attempted here. The
timo was set for o'clock, but it was 4:30
before the first aerial bomb was fired. The
display was very hne, and consisted Of
rockets, which exploding at a high altitude
released many curious characters, which
hoated gracefully in the air, among which
were animals, flags, parachutes, white
elephant, and representations Of Erin and
Columbia Quite a number Of hot air bal
looms shaped like fishes, elephants and hogs
were sent up, as also tri-colored balloons,
some of which took fire at the moment Of
starting, while two or three did not clear
the Park trees and were lodged there, but
the greater part foated off with the strong
wind that came from the SOUTH and were
lost in the far north among the tleecy
clouds. Aerial bombs were fired during the
entertainment, and at its close the Ogle-
thorpe Band discoursed several airs as the
vast crowd passed out Of TIE Enclosure.

THE NEW STREET RAILWAY.
The First of Fourteen Cars to Run on
the Road To-Day.

The new street railway company recelVeu
yesterday over the Savannah, Florida ana

of the kind. all Of which are expected 10 ar
rive next week 1t was built by John
Stephenson q Co., and is known as the

above the back rest of the seats are after
the model Of observation cars, glsss TO tue
roof so that the passenger standing IN the
car has full and unobstructed view on the
line of the eye The ventilation is on an
improved pattern. The seats are finely up
holstered and the roominess Of the car and
platform is a pleasing feature.
The car is two feet longer than the ordl-
nary street car, being 10 feet long and feet
inches wide. The rear platform, which IS
so wide as to preclude CrOwdlng, is canopled
by a full -leuSth projection OF the roof. The
brakes are of a new and improved model,
while ranged along the back of the seats on
either side are the latest invention out Tor
the convenience of passengers to signal the
conductor to stop. 1t is known as the tel
ephone signal pull, conveniently placed 50
that any passenger, without moving from
the seat, can pull a strap which sounds
whistle, and the conductor brings the car to
a halt.
The No 9 is painted yellow, with red and
dark brown trimming, yellow head nSht,

rear and above give it beautiful appear
ance when lighted with the handsome lamp
which hangs in the center. The car is
modelled after the famous Broadway cars,
New York, and they cost 81 400 each, or
nearly double that of the usual car on street
railways in Southern cities. twill makeits
first trip to-day BELT Road is painted
conspicuously on its sides. All the metal
work about the brakes is finished in nickel
and bronze. The railway company was de-
layed this week by the Festival and rain i'll

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Man Falls Under Motor Wheels
at Minneapolis,

Third street On First avenue south,
Minneapolis, was. the scene of terrible
accident at 1855 last night, in which
George S. " hitcomb was instantly
killed and most horribly mangled.
Whitcomb was coming in on the motor
train, which was made up of Engine
No. IL and two cars. He was on the
car of which Mr.. Drake was con-
ductor. When the train reached
Fourth street Whitcomb arose
from his seat and stood leaning
against the railing at the end of the car.
When the car started up again after
slowing up at the Third street crossing,
Whitcomb in some way lost his balance
and went over the railing and under the
front wheels of the last car. The shock
stopped the train and partially lifted the
second coach from the rails. As soon as
possible help was summoned and the
car lifted so as to allow the man to be
removed from under the wheels.
When he was taken out fif-
teen minutes after he was
run over. No signs of life were visible.
The body was laid on the sidewalk until
then taken to ConnOlly's moEgue. Here
it was found that death must have been
instantaneous. The right side of the
dead mans head was crushed all to
pieces and the head itself was tiattened
out so that it was twice as long as in life.
Blood and brains covered the body
from the head to the waist. The chest
and ribs were all broken into small
pieces and the shoe on the left foot was
torn in several places. The dead mans
clothes were in tatters, and looked as
though they had been cut with knife.
From letters and cards found in the dead
mans pockets, it was shown heg was
agent for an Office register and
had an office at IT'S East
Third street, ST. Paul, and also
one in Minneapolis. Orders by the
score from business men here were
found in his pocketbook. Whitccmb
was probably five feet ten inches in
height, had light brown hair. long,
blonde mustache and gray eyes. He
was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years
| of age. Nothing to show where his rel
atiyes or friends lived was found in his
pockets. An inquest will be. held at
COnnelly's m0rgue Monday.

RECLAIMED THEIR FREEDOM

Six Prisoners Break Jail at
Worthington---Two Are Run
Down and the Rest Are at Lib
erty.
Special to the Globe.
WoRTHINGToN, Mimi, July 14.-Last
evening as the jailer passed in supper
to the six prisoners in the county Jail
at this place, one of them knocked him
down, bound, handcuffed and gagged
him, and took the keys and let out the
rest of the prisoners. Taking the sher-
ifs revolver and billy, and rObbing the
jailer of his money, they closed the door
and escaped. The jailer soon removed
the gag from his mouth and attracted
the attention of j. Loveless, who gave
the alarm, and in a short time citizens
were securing the country in pursuit,
but without success on account of dark
ness. Unfortunately Sheriff Anderson
was absent in st. Paul. The jailer
managed to get out his pocketknife and
inflicted two cuts on the prisoner who
struck him, while they were binding
him. This morning search was re-
newed, and two of the jailbreakers were
recaptured, one being the man that
struck the jailer. The others have not
been found vet.
