A Lively Runawav.

A white horse attached to an empty
buggy tore across the Ocean Steamship
wharf yesterday morning startling every
body it passed, and people looked behind to
see if the waves of the Savannah river were
following it. Running down the hill and
up the incline, the animal dashed up Bay
street and along the busy thoroughfare,
missing vehicles sometimes by no more
than a foot. Turning into East Broad
street the animal kept on, narrowly escap-
ing buggies and wagons and street cars,
until it turned into Liberty. Alarge wagon
heavily loaded with lumber, happened to
be in the way, and just as the horse
started to pass, the driver of the wagon
drew up and the buggy struck the end of
the tongue. A crash followed. The wagon
tongue was snapped Off and the buggy was
totally demolished. The animal fell and
got mixed up in the wreck. When it was
extricated and the wreck moved out of the
street, one Of the animals legs was fearfully
gashed,

THE TOSS OF THE BALL.
The Ups and Downs of the Clubs in the
City League.

1ne Ups ana Downs or the CLUBS in the
City League.
The Hendys lost in the last game against
the Kieffers, but they say that they are
going to do better playing from now on.
Nick Corish, the regular pitcher for the
Hendys, fell and broke his collar bone a
short while before the season opened and a
new pitcher has been substituted in all the
games played by them.
The Hendys have won in every game ex-
cept the two played with the Kieffers.
There is no pitcher in Savannah that can
cope with Butler of the Kieffers, unless it
is Corish of the Hendys. The Hendys say
that they did not expect to win from the
kieffers the two games already played.
They expect to hold their own with them
from now on, though. Corish practiced
yesterday, and it is thought that his wounds
will be sufficiently healed TO admit OF his
pitching the next game.
1t was ruled that none except PLAYERS
who have resided in Savannah three months
should be permitted to sign with a club and
play, but it is claimed that the rule has
been disregarded and is violated every day
when there is ball Men have been i'm
ported, and it is alleged that they are pitch
ing games for some of the clubs.
1t is reported that an outside game be-
tween picked men from the clubs, for 500 a
side, is to be played.

The Americus Railroad Fund Has
Reached Crisis.
A meeting Of the canvassing committee

those present determined to continue the
canvass until this afternoon. It has been

Close on June 20, and if the amount had not,
oy tnat time, been secured nothing more
would be done.
The disposition Of some Of the members
OF the committee, however, is to push the
matter vigorously, and if possible not give
up the enterprise frought with SO much in
terest to Savannah.
President Young of the board Of trade.
who has never missed a meeting of the
committee, said last night that the money
can be raised. "It's a question of work
that's all, he added. Mr.. Joseph Hull, an
other active member Of the committee,

1t IS understood that something over $751;

yet to be subscribed. If it should be decided

probable, and those who ought to

KILLED BY THE FAST MAIL.
An Old Colored Woman Mangled to
Death.


Isabella Smith. an old colored woman,
was run over by the Savannah, Florida and
Western fast mail train yesterday morning
and instantly killed. The accident occurred
just east of Concordia park.
Section Master Knight and G. lehman
an employe for Mr.. Charles Seller, saw the
locomotive hurl tho woman from the track.
They said that she was walking on the track
with basket in her hand, when the train
turned the sharp curve a short distance
behind her. The engineer blew several
blasts, but the woman paid no attention to
the warning and the train was too close to
the woman to stop. The locomotive struck
her and hurled her several yards from the
track. Her body was terribly mangled.
Her right arm and leg were broken, hole
was cut in her head, and almost every bone
in her body was shattered. The train
stopped and picked her up, but she was
dead.
Coroner Dixson was summoned and after
brief examination verdict in accordance
with the above facts was rendered. The
woman was rs years of age and lived on
Reynolds street. She has two grown
daughters. She was prohibited leaving the
house, but she slipped out yesterday and
took basket to hunt blackberries. Her
daughters did not know where she had gone
until they received the news of her death
Her remains were taken in charge by her
children.
There is some ground for the belief that
the woman contemplated suicide. Mr.. Da-
vid A. MCGEE, supervisor of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway yards, who
witnessed the accident, says that the
woman received a timely warning.
She was told to get off the track,
as the danger was imminent, but she
showed an absolute indifference to all
warning, and remained on the track, know
ing that death must inevitably follow, as it
was impossible for the train to be checked
in time to avert the fate which she appeared
to invite.

able to the old custom of suspending a num-
Der OF employees during the Summer months.
The shorter hours carry with them reduc-
ton or wages for the two hours lost. This
appears the better plan. There is an average
loss, but that is nothing compared with the
saving to the men who, under the old plan.

ment at small pay is infinitely better than
