was uncovered the committee was pretty
sure that it contained the cornerstone, and
1t was carefully sounded, but no opening
was found.
After the debris had been removed from
around 1t the bowlder was rolled over. and
underneath it was the real corner-gtone-a
block about two feet square, with hollow

Gabler Pianos in the West.

The Gabler pianos are having extensive
sales in the West this fall-more so than
ever before. The Chicago agency, held by
the Chicago Cottage Organ Company, Is
doing a great business since the opening Of
fall trade. The orders from this house
would surprise any manufacturer. In St
Louis, Bollman Brothers are also having a
large run. In Cincinnati the SteInerts are
sending in heavy orders, while Pearson, at
indianapolis, and Ellis of Cleveland are
keeping their end up. At st. Paul, W. j.
Dyer q Bros. are doing finely, and agents
at Denver and Cheyenne likewise. This is
no "blow'' or boom" talk, but undisputed
facts The house have plans out for an ad-
dition to their present enormous factory,
which will be completed by April next.
This fact alone proves the increase of their
business as above stated. The fact is, the
old Gabler pilno is all right and it speaks
for itself. Indicator, Chicago.
In Savannah, also, the ''GQbIeY" Piano is
an old favorite, and hundreds in this city
testify to this fact.

A Great Year for BUILDING

That part of the CITY south of Little Jones
street and west of West Bro ad street is
building up rapidly, and there are nearly
100 tenement houses in process of erection,
and quite as many have been built in the
past three months.
South of Castor between Whitaker and
West Broad some thirty-five or forty two
story buildings have been built since Sept.
l, and there are fully twenty-five nearing
completion. Those who have not visited
the southwestern portion of the city in the
past three months would scarcely know IL.
aud could hardly realize that the
building industry has been SO great in that
section. There are very few vacant lots
now in the territory north of Anderson
street. and even Cemetery street is rapidly
building up. 1t has been suggested that
the name of this street be changed to one
less grave.

COLLIDRD IN A FOG.
The Central Fast Mail Bangs Into the
"Shoo-Fly'' at Eden.

The Central Fast Mall Bangs Into the
"Shoo-Fly'' at Eden.
BY a collision at Eden yesterday morning
between the "shoo-hy" train and the dav
passenger train which left Savannah for
Macon at $40 O'clock, Engineer F. Goolsby
OF the Macon bound train was slightly
bruised and sustained painful cut in the
ear. His fireman, Lee Morgan had an arm
dislocated, and @. H. Babcock, a travelling
photographer, who boarded the "fhoo- fly
at Guyton, has his hip painfully bruised.
Drs. Elliott and Mcconnell, surgeons of the
road, attended the injured. The other pas
sengers were considerably shaken up.
There was quite number of prominent
people on the Macon bound train, among
whom were Judge J. s. Boynton of Griffin
Mr.. Orr of the state teachers association
and large party of teachers, their
families and lady friends, were on their re-
turn from the Cuba excursion
superintendent Of Transportation w. w.
Starr said last night that the damage to the
two trains was slight, the forward ends of
the engines only being injured. The front
platform of the mail c IT was damaged. and
will be in the shop for a couple of DAYS.
The accident, he says, was caused by the
dense fog prevailing at the time, which led
TO misunderstanding as to the position of
the two trains by their crews.
Both trains had orders to meet at Eden.
and the "shoo-fy" was waiting for the
north-bound when the accident occurred.
Supt Starr says that the accident is only
one of many such as are happening in sec
tons where the thick fogs have been pre-
vaillng. The north-bound train was not
running at greater speed than six miles
an hour, and, had not the rails been wet
would have been brought to stop and the
collision averted

Railway Men and De Soto Directors
Discuss Travel Accommodation.
General Manager Cecil Gaobett, Of the
Central railroad, Supt. r. 6. Fleming, Of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way, and Col. W. ". Gordon. Capt John
Flannery, and Col T. H. Estlll, from the
/ beard of directors of the DE SOTO hotel, had
q conference night before last in regard to
| locating union ticket Office and baggage
/ transfer Office at the De Soto, and also about
the railroads giving Savannah the advan-
| tlges enjoyed by other cities IN the way OF
through tickets.
At present travellers by the Atlantic
Coast Line are compelled 70 60 70 Thomas
vile, Jacksonville, and points further
south in order to have their tickets Endorsed
so as to entitle them TO return privileges.
| Tickets are now sold 10 the places named
giving the holder fifteen days coming
| and returning, and fifteen days over. The
hotel COMMITTEES wants Savannah to have
these advantages, bat 1t appears that such
matters can only be arranged at meeting
of the Southern Passenger Association.
Mr.. Gabbett and Capt. Fleming expressed
themselves DESTROYS of doing everything in
their power to secure Savannah Its full
share OF the patronage OF the travelling
public. They requested the hotel COM
lA1AIl6c " put III NIlIluk nudt IL Hleucu 10
have do e, and promised that the subject
would be brought to the attention of Cen
eral Passenger Agents f. T. Charlton of
the Central, and Davidson of the Savan-
nah, Florida aud Western railway, with a
request that they secure a meeting
of the Passenger Association at
an early day to consider it.
II is very probable that the meeting will be
called at the De Soto within the next ten
days.
After discussing the proposition to estab-
lish union ticket Office IN the large room
in the northwest corner Of the hotel, it was
apparent that no special advantages
were to be derived therefrom
either by the railroads or the hotel,
and the baggage transfer office, the rail
road officials explained, should be managed
by private parties, as it is done in other
large cities. By the system now in vogue
elsewhere, baggage is checked on trains, at
hotels, and private houses for any part of
the country by properly organized system
in which the railroads and transfer COM
pany act together. 1t was stated that the
transfer company in Jacksonville last sea-
son handled 100, 900 pieces of baggage. 1t
is probable that a railroad office where
tickets can be stamped will be established
at the De Soto news stand.

Caught in the Corridor.

Ex-Gov. Boynton, who accompanied the
Georgia teachers on their excursion to
Florida and Havana, was a prominent
figure at the De Soto yesterday. The ex-
governor is very tall. He wears high
soft felt hat, and he appears taller
than he really is. He is a splendid CONVEX
Bationalist, and has many amusing incidents
TO recount OF his southern trip. OF all the
teachers, aud he considers himself one, as
lie taught as late as 1865, he probably at
tracted the most attention in Havana.
My hight knocked the Cubans out he
said, Jokingly. 'When our party reached
Havana we went sightseeing, and my at
tention was called to the fact that crowd
was following us. We stopped to inquire
what it meant, when the strangers began to
collect around me, cycling me from the top
of my high hat to my boots. Every where
we went | was the attraction as the high
man. The people followed me into the
market house and out into the promenade. T"
The ex-governor pretended to enjoy it,
but one Of the teachers remarked that he
did not get as much fun out of it as the
Others with the party did.

Concert and Reception.

The Princeton Glee and Banjo Clubs,
Concert and Reception.
The Princeton College Glee and Banjo
Clubs concert last night was a novel musical
treat. The theater does not many times in
year hold as fashionable an audi
ence as that which the Princeton
boys had. 1t was thoroughly
representative audience, and to say that it
was enthusiastic is drawing it mild. Seat
tered here and there were many OF Prince
toms alumni, and the old college songs
which were sung on the campus and echoed
through Nassau Hall a quarter and a third
Of century ago, came back to them as
young Princeton sang the new Pr1ncetonia
Carmina.
The programme included fifteen numbers
songs and selections by the banjo club The
glee club is composed Of seventeen members,
and the banjo club of ten members. The
opening song, "Old Nassau" the Princeton
college song, was roundly applauded.
There We're some changes in the pro-
gramme, but all of the selections were
skillfully rendered. Some Of the voices in
the club are fine The medleys were clev-
erly sung, as only college boys can sing them
The banjo clubs playing was the feature
of the concert. The 'Darkies' Patrol" was
exceedingly we'll played. Little Bow Blue, -
with the tale of the Princeton Y ale foot
ball game, was loudly cheered. Many Of
tie songs were local to Princeton, but the
audience enjoyed them, nevertheless. The
concert closed with the "Good Night
chorus and the Princeton cheer-Sisl Boom!
Ahl Princeton"
After the concert a german was given in
honor of the clubs at Catholic Library hall
In the afternoon a reception was given
them at the residence of Henry McAipi
on Orleans square.
The Savannah concert closes the clubs
southern tour. and they will return north
by steamer, sailing on the Kansas City for
New York this afternoon.
