A Lively RUNAWAY,

The delivery wagon of James McGrath
& Co. was run into last night in front of
Buffers drug store by J. Mehrtens' two
horse wagon, damaging it considerably.
The delivery wagon was turned bottom
side up, the shafts were twisted off and the
wheels were dished. The driver was thrown
headlong over the horses mead, and two
dozen bottles of beer were scattered over
the street Mehrtens' wagon was standing in
front of the market and the wagner was
discharging its freight. He had stepped
into the market building when the mules
became frightened and ran down the street
No one was in the wagon and they had
their own way. They ran at a lively speed
down Congress street, narrowly missing
vehicles. Overtaking the delivery wagon,
which was about to turn into Bull street,
the mules made a sudden turn, colliding
with the vehicle in front. The mules ran
around the square, and were stopped on
Bryan street, across from the Southern
bank,

BISHOP BECKER SICK.
Father CafRerty Called to Him at Su-
wannee Springs.

rather Canerty Called TO HIM at Su-
wannee Springs.
There we're rumors about the city yester-
day that Bishop Becker was very seriously
ill at Suwannee springs, Fla, where he
went with DR.. aud Mrs. Read, week ago
last Saturday. Inquiry at the bishops
palace developed the fact that it is not
thought that he is alarminglY Ill. Rev.
Father Cafferty, vicar general, received a
dispatch from the bishop yesterday after
noon, in which he stated that ne was better,
but still suffering. He requested Father
Cafferty to come TO Suwannee.
The bishop was far from we'll when he
left here for the springs, and he was greatly
in hopes that he would be benefited there.
It seems that his health greatly improved,
so much so that on last Sunday
he preached there, and Capt Blum, who
was present, says that the sermon was
an unusually vigorous one, AT that
time the bishop was feeling very well
and when Capt Blum came away a day or
two ago the bishop expressed himself as
feeling we'll, indeed.
1t seems that he had another attack, how
ever, OF his ailment day or two ago, which
is a rather severe one, it is thought, from
which he is suffering, and which has given
rise to the rumors. His condition is now
much improved. Father Cafferty left last
night for the springs.

RAIL AND cROssTIE.

Supt. D. D. Curran Of the South Caro-
lima division Of ne Central railroad is in
the city.
The sale of the Shenandoah Valley rail-
road will take place shortly. IL is said the
Pennsylvania, the Norfolk aud Western,
and the Roanoke Southern will be bidders
for the road.
The Macon Telegraph says that as at
torney for the Hawkinsville S eamb- at
Company, United States District Attorney
Erwin has made a settlement of the admi-
rally suit against the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery road. BY the terms of
the settlement the road agrees to remove
the distinctions in ten days, SO that boats
can have full passage
The city Of Danville, Va, has voted
$3.50, 900 toward the western extension of
the Atlantic and Danville railroad from
Danville to the coal fields of Southwestern
Virginia. The city had already voted a
Ike amount to the eastern end Of the line,
from Danville to Norfolk, a distance of 200
miles, which will soon be opened for bust
ness Bristol, Tenn, is the probable west
ern terminus Of the road and work will
begin on the extension to that city as soon
as possible.
On Monday telegraph Office will be
ntted up in the office of General Superin-
tendent of Transportation Edward Tyler
OF the Central railroad. Teegrapher Spaid,
who quit the Western Union Telegraph
Company to 60 with the Central, few
days ago, will probably be the operator in
charge Of the office. Heretofore the Cen
tral had no telegraph Office except in the
master OF train services department. The
new office will be used also for the general
managers business.
The Montgomery Monitor has this about
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
railroad: I'VE hear that the traffic agree
ment between the Savannah, Americas and
montgomery railroad and the Central has
been broken up. The Central was not, or
did not seem to be, in any great hurry to
build its line to Sterling, the point of
meeting of the two roads. For this reason,
or some other, we hear that Col. Hawkins
mas terminated the notorious traffic agree
meut," and sent word to the Central to get
out of his way. 1t is said that he has re-
ceived proposition of $100, 900 to defect
his road at Eden for Sapalo. We give the
rumor as we hear it, without vouching for
Its correctness"
Schedules from the west and northwest
TO Florida will be made to-day by officials
OF the Central, Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, and the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. A conferences for this
purpose Will be held to-day in the general
managers Office at the Co trail. There will

DR.. Schweninger's fortune in Berlin has
been marvellous. His practice to-day is
among the largest in the city, where dis
tinguished and celebrated physicians are no
rarity. Despite the opposition of Profs.
Won HelmholtZ, Girchow and the late
Dubois Raymond, who refused to consult
him professionally or TO receive him socially,
he has become favorite of the people, and
the students who crowd the room in which
he lectures.
His income ghas become enormous. He
has no fixed fees. His hallway is almost
blocked during reception hours with persons
of high and low degree, anxious to say that
they have the same physician as the chan
cellor of the empire. He courts their good
graces, and is polite to all. HIS house,
which he has built since he arrived in
Berlin, is palace in its appointments and
appearance. The fierce, dark face, black
beard, piercing eye, and the handsome
figure make OF themselves an interesting
person of DR.. Schweninger, who is also q

the metropolis. He is an especial favorite

THE CARTOONS CARGO.

Another Survey of the Vessel Made.
The Cotton Badly Damaged.
The tug Forest City finished pumping
ont the British steamship Carlton at 9
O'Clock yesterday morning. The vessel was
pretty we'll pumped out the night before,
but fire broke out in the cotton and the tug
was compelled to pump the water back
into the vessel
The work of dscharging the cargo into
lighters was begun, and after the vessel was
sufficiently hghtened she was transferred to
D. j. Murphy's wharf, where the discharg-
ing Of the damaged cotton was continued.
The discharging will probably be finished
this afternoon.
Another survey of the hold was made
yesterday to locate the exact point at which
the fire started and the same gentlemen
who we're on the previous survey acted
again. On examination it was fou d that
the fire started exactly at the collision
bulkhead, spot very far removed from
the engine bulkhead, and right in the nose
of the steamer. The cotton must have been
burning for some time before it developed
itself in the main hatch, as the cotton is
very badly burned and damaged. 1t is be.
lieved that the loss will exceed all previous

FLAMES IN A GROCERY.
e. w. OCoDnor's Stock Of Goods
Damaged $4,000 Worth


The grocery store of E. ". O'Connor, at
Bolton and West Broad streets, took fire
shortly after o'clock yesterday morning,
and but for the promptitude Of the fire de-
partment in getting to the scene and the
well-directed efforts of the firemen the
entire building would have been destroyed.
The fire originated in the liquor store
room in the rear Of the bar attached to the
grocery, where a lot Of inhammable but
ter boxes we're also stored, but the fire
department confined the flames to the rear Of
the building until IL was under control.
The stock of groceries, liquors and
fixtures was insured in Wheatons agency
for $1,000, and the building is insured in
the Southern Mutual, 7. H. Harden's
agency, for S2500 The damage to the
stock will not fall far short of the amount
of the policy. There were some seven or
eight barrels of whisky and brandy, more
or less full, in the liquor room, which were
burned The bar fixtures and stock were
destroyed, and the grocery stock was dam
aged by fire and water to such an extent as
to practically render it unfit for sale. The
damage to the building will not exceed $500.
When the fire was discovered and Mr.
OConnor was awakened, he started to 90
into the store to get the key to box 10 to
turn in an alarm, but the heat and smoke
were so oppressive that he Immediately
closed the door communicating with the
residence adjoining on the north, and the
alarm was turned in by some one else.
Mr.. O'Connor says that he did not close
the store until 2 o'clock yesterday morning,
and there were then no signs Of fire, but he
attributes the blaze to the carelessness of a
subordinate whom he suspects of leaving a
lighted candle in the liquor room when he
last went into the liquor store room to re-
plenish a bottle for the bar. Mr.. O'Connor
says that he usually makes a personal ex-
animation of the premises before retiring,
but owing TO the latene SIS of the hour yester
day morning he negl ected II, thinking all
was right
