CRUSHED BY THE WHEELS.

a Colored Man Loses His Life While
Beating His Way on a Train.
Reals Silva tcolored) was run over by the
early morning freight on the Savannah.
Florida and Western railway yesterday at
the four-mile post Silva's left arm was
cut off, and his right leg was severed close
to his body. The wounded man was sent
In TO the city and was taken TO the
Georgia lnfrmary in a horribly mangled
condition. He was gasping for breath
when he reached the hospital He fingered
a few hours and died.
No attempt was made to dress the wounds
for it was apparent at once that the man
could not survive.
Silva was discovered soon after the acct
dent by track hand on Section Master
Grlthth's car. The section master was the
only person who got the particulars of the
accident. MIR. Griffith said that upon GOING
up to the wounded man he asked him how
the accident occurred Silva replied that
he was beating his way from Waycross to
Savannah. He attempted to get off. when
he slipped from the ladder and fell under
the wheels. Mr.. Griffith stopped the NEXT
PASSENGER train, and sent the man into the
city.
Silva had relatives living at Southyille
and it is supposed that he was making his
way to that point when he attempted to get
on the train he was 80 years old, and was
carpenter by trade. He had been In Wav-
cross some time, but it seems that he was
unable TO secure employment, and be started

Something About New York's Latest
Fad.
Blakely Han il Brooklyn Eagle.

Btokely Hall in Brooklyn Eagle
some or the wagons which New Workers
are at present driving in Central park
would cause tremor OF fright to pass
through the frame of fat and overfed
COW. No color is too wild, no form too
grotesque for adoption, and in some in
stances the make up Of the drivers is as
extravagant as the general designs of their
vehicles. Yesterday saw a woman driv-
ing down Fifth avenue in bright yellow
mail phaeton, with the dashboard literally
covered with brilliant silver aud brass, and
pair OF huge faring lamps on the
sides. The long pole was tipped with a
shining brass ball, easily half foot IN
diameter, and a pair OF beautiful little
thoroughbred Kentucky horses, with
clipped tails. were harnessed to the cart.
They were embeliished with extraordinary
gewgaws and filings. The collars were
covered with white canvas and the harness
was OF light leather, with huge brass rosettes
at all the buckles. Heavy chains ran from
the collars to the end of the pole. The
phaeton was of great size and the yellow
wheels were rendered mora conspicuous By
spokes of flaming red. The hubs of tee
wheels were OF brass, highly polished, and
on the oox sat a groom with cockade in
MS hat. Driving the horses was a woman
VINO wore the exact counterpart
or mans driving coat. 1t
was double-breasted and of light brown
cloth. She wore CATERS OF exactly
the same tint, and the coat reached down
to the CATERS There was no suggestion of
woman's shape in the cut of the GOAT Her
hair was coiled close to her head, aad she
wore small mannish hat well forward
over her eyes. The gloves were masculine in
cut. She drove with supreme indifference,
and guided her horses through the tangle of
vehicles with as much composure as though
driving alone on wide, level road. An
other vehicle which people stared at was
driven by young man, who leaned very
FAR forward, and held the reins I'D under
his chin. His high stepping horses were
driven tandem to dog cart. which was al
most as high as the top OF a stage. The
wheels were simply enormous in hight, and
the box OF the cart was perched far above
them on series Of 'S' springs. The
man was in funeral black, and so was the
cart, and the footman the rear seat wore
bands OF Grape on the top of his boots. The
horses were as black as night, and the har-
ness, instead Of being Of the shiny black we
are accustomed to seeing, was dead and
lusuerless in color. The whole thing looked
like travesty on hearse driven by a mad
man. The straining after effect shown by
most of these turnouts is so absurd that in
time it becomes repulsive. When a thor
oughly equipped turnout, driven by man
In conventional attire, comes along, the
spectators feel a sentiment of relief, not un-
mixed with gratitude.

The Truck Farms in Need Of the Rains

The rains which have prevailed this week
have done an immense amount of good to
growing crops. They have been general,
Signal Observer benson said last night, and
the entire state, as well as Florida and
South Carolina, have been getting fine
rains. The rainfall at Eastman yesterday
was 215 inches. AT Titusville, Fla, it was
a little less than two inches. Over an inch
of rain has fallen in Augusta within the
last forty-eight hours, and Savannah in the
same length of time got about three-fourths
of an inch of rain. The indications
are, however, favorable for fair weather.
1t may be that no more rain will fall in
several days. 1t is about freezing in the
extreme northwest now.
