TaRowN FROM A BUGGY.

Mrs. l.. e. Bohan's Narrow Escape
from Death.
Mrs. L. E. Bohan was thrown from a
buggy yesterday morning by runaway
horse at Huntington and Whitaker streets
and sustained painful bruises.
Mrs. Bohan was driving on Montgomery
street and the horse became frightened near
the corner Of Duffy street. Mrs. Bohan,
finding herself unable to control the excited
animal, let 60 the reins and grasped the
seat tightly with both hands. The horse
ran down Montgomery street into Hunting
don and against a tree at the corner Of
Whitaker, throwing Mrs. Bohan out ard
completely wrecking the buggy.
Jerry Wright, q colored man who at
tempted to stop the horse, was knocked
down and tcampled upon. sustaining a
painful injury TO his knee.
The runaway created considerable ex-
element, and every one who saw it thought
Mrs. Bohan would be killed. Her escape
from death was almost miraculous under
the circumstances. The horse was stopped
after running into the tree.

TO be connected with it in some way as long

The Tennille Error has this to say about
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic: That the
road will be built there is now no further
doubt, from tie fact that Col. w. b.
Thomas, formerly president of the Wrighrs-
vile and Tennille railroad, and now man.
ager Of the Chattahoochee Land Company,
is one of the directors. We have it from
reliable authority that Col. Thomas will be
made the general manager, and will be at
the head of building the road, and this fact
is sure enough guarantee that the road
will be built. A representative OF the
Error was conversing with a Washington
county capitalist the other day, when
that gentleman said: ''Do you know
for fact that the Middle
Georgia ami Atlantic railroad will
be builtF' "Well," said be, drawing paper
from his pocket, 'here is a list of Savannah
capitalists who have taken stock,
aud also quite q number from other
places. Now, know these men; they are
all solid men; they have got the money.
And, having learned that w. B. Thomas Is
going to be at the head of the enterprise,
am going to take stock myself, and all the
shares l can possibly get, at that There
are a number OF Washington county CAPT.
talists who are going 60 take stock in the
new road at the same time" While talking
to one Of Sande-svilles leading capitalists
one day this week we asked if they pro-
posed to subscribe the same amount of
stock to the new company as they did to
Col. Machen to keep the road out of
Tennille. "No," said be; I'VE will not do
that. We are willing that the road should
go through both towns, and think it will be
beneficial to both places" This gentleman
was one of the number who subscribed to
help make up the $4,000 to shut out the
road from Tennille; but he now says that
the people Of Tennille can rest assured that
Col. Thomas is, beyond all doubt, one of
the best railroad men in this state. With
the addition of this road to Tennille's already
superb railroad facilities, there is every in
dicetion of an immense boom to this place,
and ere long we expect to see Ter mile the
leading town between Macon and Savannah.

WASHED BY THE RAINS.

Country Roads impossible in Many
Places-Bridges Carried Away.
The rains have done good deal of dam
age to the country roads. Sluices have
been washed out. the approaches to small
bridges have been undermined, and in many
places deep gullies have been washed across
the roadways.
The she'll roads have suffered some. The
White Bluff road is washed in several
places, but the damage is small and easily
repaired.
The bitches along the roads are full Of
water and the canals have had full banks
during the last week, since the heavy rains
began.
The country, especially the lowlands, is
full of water. except those sections where
the drainage has been completed, and even
then the water has been carried off with
some difficulty.
The damage to the small roads and the
drainage bitches is not yet fully known, but
reports are being received of the roads
having been badly washed, and in some
places impossible.

PRETTY NEAR THE COOLEST.

Mercury Within 2 Degrees of the Low
est Known In August.
Savannah was surprised with cool snap
yesterday morning and last night. Hun
dreds Of people woke no early yesterday

had come upon them SO unawares, and in
stituted search for more cover. The
day and the night preceding were the cool
est since the beginning OF the summer The
thermometer dropped down to Is before
daybreak yesterday morning, and the high
est temperature reached yesterday was T9'.
The temperature was within 90 of the low
est it has been in August since the signal sta
tion was established twenty years ago.
That was Aug. 10. 1879. when the mercury
registered go.
The cool snap was caused by the far
reaching influence of cold wave in Da-
kota, where heavy frosts fell during last
week
Very little rain was reported in the
south yesterday and almost none in the Sa-
vannah district. Showers were reported,
however, from South Florida. The indica-
tons are that the rains have ceased for
awhile. and as the rainfall for the year is
now exactly at the average there will prob
ably be no more than the usual amount Of
rain in September.

'that when missionary bishop Is elected

the call is binding 1t must be consented to

It would not be proper, Mr. Harrison ex~
planned, for Bishop Talbot himself to say
that be preferred coming TO Georgia before
the other bishops had consented for him to
Gomez but it would not have been at all
improper. had he preferred not coming, for
him t. say 80.
