IMPROVING tbs MAILS.

AN Additional Service Between Sa-
vanneh and Millen
A local night mail has been put on the
Central railroad Shoo-hy train, aud the
stations between Savannah and Millen are
getting an extra mail every night.
The arrangement is convenient one to
Savannah merchants They are able bv
this new mail to send out letters to their
country customers in the af ernoon and at
night, instead of in the morning. Hereto
fore they have been unable to get their local
mail off on the day it was posted By the
old arrangement they posted their letters
IN the afternoon and at night and they
remained in the postoffice until next morn
ing, when they were sent out on the 7;1O
train. The night train leaving here at
$40 does not take local mail
Postmaster Lamar says that the only OBJ
lection business men have to sending their
mail out on the Shoo-fiy is that they have
TO post their letters at very early hour in
the afternoon. The Shoo-fly leaves at 40
standard time, and good many merchants
and most of the factors have acoustic ned
themselves to getting their mail ready
after that hour, and they are not disDosed
TO change, at least not now. lit is likely,
however, when they find that their country
customers who rely upon them for quota
tions, ETC., and are profted by the new
schedule, appreciate the change, that thew
will patronize the new mail train.

IMPALED ON A COTTON HOOK.
A LonRshoreman Hoisted Invent
Feet Into the Air by Sling.

A Longshoreman Hoisted Twenty
Feet Into the Air by Sling.
The sickeling spectacle of a man impaled
ON the hook attached to a sling used for
hosting cotton ON board ship was witnessed
yesterday afternoon. at 4:30 o'clock, on one
of the steamships at the upper wharves.
John Dillon was the unfortunate victim,
the hook entering mis- left wrist and lifting
him fully twenty feet from the wharf, tear
ing long and frightful cash in the arm.
Dillon and his companion, Barney Dolan.
both longshoremen, were engaged In hook
ing the slihg- hook into the bales for hoist
ing, and while Dillon was trying to attach
the hook it was ''hauled away" catching
Dillon and lifting him rapidly toward the
ship. Dolan hurried to his companions
rescue, and broke Dillon's fall as the sling
was loosened.
Dillon was taken to the city dispensary,
where he suffered great pain from the
lacerated flesh and arteries, until a ply
stefan could be found.
DIR. Keller was the first physician to ar
rive, and he found Dillon nearly crazy with
pain. An opiate was administered hypo-
dermically, after which the ar cries we're
gathered up and fifteen stitcles were put in
tue gaping wound. After the operation the
man was removed to his room at No. so
Indian street. Dillon was in the employ of
Capt. James Ward at the time of the
accident

The comedians of the company, the NetCs
says; are f1rst-class. Much has been written
about the great Emerson Of Haverly's, but
q. h Edwards is his superior, and last
night he won unstinred praise. He is great.
Charlie Goodyear is also immense, and his
imitation of George Wilson is capital.
As an eccentric comedian he is a success.
There never was better performance on
the Macon stage than that given by the
Leech brothers. the par excellence of ban
1oists, yocalists and dancers. Chas. Z.
Schllling, the musical comedian, was on

the small stacks several feet below the top
of the larger smoke-stacks, there will be
lesser current Of air, and the sparks will
not pass beyond the top of the latter. 1t is
getting to be generally believed that by
little care on the part of those who use

be prevented
