WINTER TO HAVE A CHANCE.
The Signal Bureau on the Lookout for
Cold Wave

The Signal Bur eau on the Lookout for
Cold Wave.
The cold wave signal foated from the
flagstaff on the postoff1ce building yester-
day. 1t was welcome sign, and many
drew breath Of relief to think that the
summer weather would be, for a few days,
at least, relegated to the rear to let winter
have shake. 1t will be long, last fare
well shake Winter weather is rapidly
dying, and this may be its last breath.
To-day, the signal bureau predicts, will
be moderately C Jol, and tonight the tenn
perature is expected to go down to 42'.
The cold wave started yesterday
morning in the Dakotas, and moved
rapidly in southeasterly direction. freez-
ing up everything in its track until it
reached Tennessee; then it turned suddenly
In an easterly direction, passing over North
ern Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina to the coast
Savannah will be IN the edge Of the wave,
but it will get touch of the cold. The
temperature is expected to be as low as 52a
tnis morning, aud tonight Observer Whit
ney predicts that it will be at least 100
lower.
The temperature out in the northwest is
80 below zero, and along in the wake of
the storm the weather freezing. Il Ten
nessee and in some parts of Alabama and
Mississippi the thermometer registers freez-
ing. 1t is expected to register freezing in
North Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina this morning and tonight. 1t was
showing last night in Indiana, and in some
parts of the Ohio valley and North Caro-
Ina. The pressure in that district is 81. on.
AT Chicago at s o'clock last night the
temperature was down to 49,; at ST. Paul
it was down to zero. Moderate rainfalls
were reported last night from the New
England coasts, Tennessee, North Georgia,
Alabama and Mississ ppi. Light rains were
reported in New York and Pennsylvania
also.
The observers do not look for very severe
weather here, and if the Thermometer gets
to 42e it will be as low as they expect. The
wave is passing rapidly across the country
and the cool weather will not last long,

RAIL AND cROSSTIE.

A Columbus dispatch says that the Cen
tral railroad proposes investing 100000 in
machine shops and impr ,vements in track
age In Columbus. With this object in view,
/ zen Alexander has made the city an offer
OF $500 an acre for nine acres of the COM
mon adjacent to the present shops, but

The wreck day before yesterday at the
slxty-seven mile post, en- the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, caused by
freight train No 40 and passenger train
No. II collIding, report of which was in
yesterdays MORNING NEWS, was cleared
| yesterday, and trains are running on
schedule time. The pilots of the engines
were knocked off; the front platform on the
express car was damaged slightly, and
fruit car on the freight train was damaged
some. Neither train was running fast
| when the collision occurred.
A Hartwell, Ca, dispatch saws that there
is a good deal Of interest there in the case
OF W. Y. Holland VS.. the Richmond and
Danvllle Railroad Company, which comes
up in the city court of Atlanta next month.
1t is a suit for damages and the amount
sued for is $4,000. Mr.. Holland was
passenger on the train which was wrecked
tetween the 99th and 1005h mile posts from
Atlanta on Nov. 10, 1888 He was seriously
injured and has been unable TO attend to
his business since. Mr.. Holland is known
from one end of the state to the other as
one OF the cleverest and most popular COM
mercial travellers. He has many friends in
Savannah.
An Augusta man, w. II. Walker. has
recently invented safety guard, an appli-
auce attached to car trucks whereby in the
event of spreading track, or the wheels
mounting the track, or a run-off in any
way whatever, the car still remains on the
track. There are four steel shoes between
the two sets of wheels of each truck of
sufficient hight from the track to clear any
obstacle that would pass under the pilot,
which the moment the wheel leaves the
track for any cause fall on the track,
whether it is spread or not, and by reason
of depending lips holds the same on the
track. These steel shoes are of suffi-
Gent width to allow the car enough
play to turn the shortest curves,
and at the same time act as
brake. The force of a deraiIed train
would in no event be sufficiently great to
break the guard. An improvement in air
brakes is also arranged so that the moment
the wheels leave the track for any cause
the contact of the shoes of the safety guard
With the rail, or any substance, puts on the
air brakes automatically on the en-
tire train, thus stopping the train in
moment. This is accomplished by levers
running from grooves or slots in the safety
grard shoes, which instantly, upon strik-
ing the truck, open the cock valves, or lift
valves, on the air brake pipe, putting on the
air brakes instantly.

quarter of the work has been done for two

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
AT THE COURTS.
Gossip Picked Up Here and There in
the Court Rooms

Gossip Picked Up Here and There in
the Court Rooms.
A case with too many repulsive features
to recommend it for pu LEGATION occupied the
entire session Of the superior court yester-
day. Thomas Middleton (coloredl, was on
trial for the ravishment Of Willie Lee
(colored). The case went to the jury
shortly after Z O'Clock last night, and near
midnight verdict of assault and battery
was brought in. Tne court reserved sem
tence. Osburne and Morgan, for the de-
fendant, by their able and ingenious con-
duct IF the case, saved Middleton from the
daugAr of a ssverer verdict, as the teSti-
mony Of the woman and her female COM
panion, Fannie Garrett, was positive as to
the guilt of the prisoner.
The grand jury of the superior court will
meet at o'clock this afternoon, and when
it comes out it will make its general pre-
sentiment and be discharged for the term.
Judge Failigant said last night that he hopes
to be able to adj urn Tomorrow afternoon
for the term. The traverse jurors were
finally discharged yesterday.
The case of j. T. Brooks, administrator
Of the estate of Robert A Talley, against
the Etowah Manufacturing and Mining
Company, for the recovery of u certificate

tied at defendants costs In the superior
court yesterday. The terms Of the settle
ment were not divulged.
The Ocean Steamship Company moved
for new trial in the Frank Screven dam
age case yesterday in the superior court.
This is the only one of the ten cases for de-
famation of character and false imprison-
ment against defendants, eight of the cases
having been dismissed on motion of plain
tiff s counsel, and in one case the verdict
was for defendant. A supersedeas order
was taken pending the motion.
A motion for a new trial was fled in the
superior court yesterday by j. F. Cam,
counsel for Charles Green, convicted of as
sault with Intent to murder. The defend
ant places the greatest reliance upon the
allegation That the charge of the court in
the trial of the case confused the jury. The

Ex-Convict Cato Pays an Old drudge
Against Isaac Brown.

Ex-Convict Cato Pays an Old drudge
Against Isaac Brown.
Isaac Brown (colored) and an ex-convict
named Cato met at Congress and Barnard
streets yesterday afternoon and exchanged
greetings. The two had met before and
we're not at all on friendly terms They
had some trouble last month, and Cato
threatened then to assail Brown when he
met him. He was as good as his word.
They came together in front Of Solomons'
drug store yesterday, and, before
anybody knew what was going on,
Cato had thrust knife into Browns left
arm near the shoulder, and had given it a
savage twist, making an ugly wound, which
bled a stream. Cato turned and ran, with
Brown close behind him in pursuit. Sergt.
killourhy took a hand 10 the chase up
Bro ghton street, but Cato lodged into a
lane and escaped. Brown soon became
weak from loss of blood, and was taken TO
the city dispensary, where DR.. Keller
dressed his wound. The stab, while not
more than an inch long, was deep. The
muscles were cut and the flesh was torn.
Brown W sent to his home on Bryan
street to mend up.
