THROWN FROM THE TRACK.
a Colored Man Probably Fatally Il
iurad on the Tvhaa Road

a Colored Man Probably Fatally In
jured on the Tybee Road.
An unknown colored man, about Is years
old, was struck and probably fatally iu-
jured at Furber's Point on Tybee Island by
the S o'clock Savannah and Atlantic train
last night. He lay alongside of the track
until the 10 O'Clock train was passing, when
Fireman Clark discovered him.
The train was stopped and the man was
lifted aboard and brought TO the city He
managed to tell those who found him that
the pilot of the O'clock train had thrown
him from the track, but shortly after he
became speechless and was unable to give
any further information.
On the arrival Of the train in the city DR..
Elliott, the surgeon of the company was
sent for. He examined the negro and
found that several ribs were broken, and
that he had sustained severe injuries to his
head and legs. Morphine was administered
to relieve the mans sufferings and the
police ambulance conveyed him to the
Georgia Infirmary.
Those who saw the negro said he appeared
TO be in dying condition when
taken to the infrmary. Whether he was
asleep or walking on the track when the
accident occurred could not be learned. 1t
is evident that the engineer of the o'clock
train knew nothing Of the accident, as be
made no report at the office The Injured
man is supposed to have lived at Tybee.

The De Soto company's Affairs.

SAVANNAH. GA, July 23.-Editor Morn
ing NetOs: An article appeared in the
MORNING NEWS Of July 10 headed THE
De Soto Company's Affairs in Tangled
Condition." the language Of which reflected
upon the integrity Of the board Of managers
OF the De Soto Investment Company, and
has placed them in very false position be-
fore the public. As | was compelled to go
TO New York about the time the article
appeared, could not give the matter the
attention it merited. The facts of the case
are as follows: Messrs. Henry r. jackson,
R. r. Dancy and T. P. Ravenel have filed
a bill in the superior court to place the COM
pany in the hands of receiver, and have
made charges and accusations in the bill
that are not justified by any facts in the
case, and can be so proven by the evidence
when the case comes to trial.
The company has never failed to meet all
obligations which have become due since
the present board have had charge, and liz
the affairs are permitted to be properly
managed) is perfectly solvent, and able to
anything from which the company has re-
ceved any benefit.
All acts of the board have been Endorsed
by all stockholders who represent any stock
from which the company has received any
money consideration.
As the public has been misled by the
publwation OF the article referred TO, the
board of managers beg a suspension of
Judgment until the matter can be settled in
the court, where they think that every act
of theirs can be shown to be for the best
interest Of the stockholders

SALOON MEN UP IN ARMS
TO FIGET THE EXEMPTION OF THE
CLUBS FROM LICENSE.

A Protest to be Filed at the Next
Meeting of the Council Mayor Nc
Donoush Not Yet Decided Whether
He Will Veto the Club Ordinance
Why He Opposed 1t.
The action Of the city council in exempt
ing the clubs from the payment of liquor
license was the general topic yesterday.
The saloonkeepers are particularly worked
up over the matter and express themselves
pretty plainly on the subject The proba-
biIity is that a protest will be filed by them
at the next meeting Of council. They claim
that there is practically no difference be-
tween clubs and saloons in the matter of
selling liquor, except that the former don't
openly conduct business as the latter.
why" said one saloonkeeper, 1.-THE very
fact Of the clubs taking out government
licenses for the sale of liquor is an admission
that they carry on a saloon business, and
why they should be exempted from the pay
ment of a city license any more than US, l
fail to see"
Mayor MoDonough was asked whether he
intends to veto the ordinance. lie replied
that he has not yet decided.
81 am opposed TO the ordinance, he ssld,
'fbecause ] consider it a discriminating
piece of class legislation, exempting certain
persons engaged in the same line OF business
from taxation, while others are taxed. he
sides. | regard it as total disregard Of the
Sunday law, and wouldn't blame the saloon
keepers TO protest"
A well known attorney stated that in his
opinion the ordinance is legal, even though
it may be considered discriminative. There
are many laws upon the statutes which are
discriminative, but that does not nullify
them. The original Sunday ordinance, the
attorney said, allowed no place of business
TO be opened on Sunday, but it has been
amended 50 as to apply only to saloons,
This is discriminating law against the sa-
looms, but, nevertheless, it is legal one.

THE PEOPLE FAVOR IT.
The Removal OF the Fencs around the
Park Asked For.

Park asked For.
The suggestion of the MORNING NEWS
relative 20 the removal Of the iron fence
around Forsyth park is meeting with very
general approval from the citizens, ana Is
receiving favorable consideration from tue
aldermen. The work cannot be done THIS
year, because the appropriation ID hOy Suui
Gent to cover the necessary expense which
would be incurred in the putting .uo"h Vi
curling in place of the railing.
AS was stated in the MORNING NEWS,
the he0inniug can be made By removing the
gates. and there is q probability that at the
1ext meeting OF council a resolution to that
effect will be offered The gates are
nuisance in more ways than one. When
neonle wish 10 enter or leave the park 1t Is
mite an Inconvenience to be pulling or
rushing a gate. Sunday aftern oons eSpe-
cially is this the case, when the parK Is
generally the resort for the people There
eau be no excuse advanced against the step
now on the plea of keeping ont goats, as the
appearance of a goat on the streets Is
rarity since Mayor McDonouRh began the
enforcement of the ordinance against them.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw several
aldermen Yesterday and asked their views
upon tho subject.
Alderman Haines said he most heartily
approved or removing not only Lne gates
huC the entire fence. 1t would be a great
to the park and benefit to
the city. He intimated that he might offer
a resolution to cover the matter, and If 1t is
found impracticable at present to do the en-
tire work, begin to reform by unhingirR
the gates, as was done with johnson square
thirty-1Ve years ago.
Alderman Harmon said he has favored
the step long time, and will heartily sup
port movement to carry it out. Nothing
more, be said, can be done this year beyond
the removal Of the gates, but let that be
done at once.
Alderman Bailey wants the railing taken
down and high curbing put around the
park. He considers that tho beauty OF the
place would be much added TO thereby, and
will lend his support to the movement.
Alderman Cam wasn't prepared TO say
that he would favor the removal of thu
fence, but he might favorably consider the
taking down of the gates. He advanced
the plea that the fence is a protection
against runaway horses to those who visit
the park.
Alderman Mcclure is in favor of taking
away the gates on account of the nuisance
occasioned with their slamming at ell hours
Of the night and as matter of convenience
to the public. He will, he said, also favor
the removal of the fence and the putting of
q granite curbing in its stead.
Many citizens we're also spoken to about
the matter, and almost without exception
they favored the removal Of the fence. 1t
is beginning TO look as if the fence will
eventually have to go, aud the gates at

THE GREENS AT WILMINGTON.
They Raise the etars and Stripes on
the Island.

They Raise the etars and Stripes on
the Island.
The picnic Of the Irish Jasper Greens at
Wilmington Island yesterday was a most
successful affair. Over 900 people attended
and there were representatives from every
command in the city. besides quite a oon-
tingent of the Atlanta Zouaves. who are
encamping at TYbee
The event of the day was the raising Of
the stars and stripes on the island for the
first time in twenty-Bix years,
the former occasion being when
flag was floated there by
United States troops in 1865. The revenue
cutter Boutwell, anchored off Wilmington
early in the afternoon, and Capt. Flannery
and Lieut.. Gleason rowed out and invited
Lieut.. Gushing, who was in command, and
the other officers Of the cutter, with their
ladies. to participate In the picnic The
invitation was accepted, and Capt. Flannery
requested the loan of a United States flag
90 raise upon the fagpole at the dancing
pavilion.
The flag was given and the officers of the
Boutwell, together with Mrs. Gushing and
Miss Wilson, sister Of Lieut. Gushing. were
rowed TO the island. The Greens were called
together with the bugle and formed in line
facing the pole. Then Miss Wilson and
the Greens came to the right-hand salute
with uncovered heads, and the Regimental
band played the Star Spangled Banner"
Capt. Brooks of the Cadets and Col. Reilly
and Lieut.. John T. Roman were also present
at the flag raising.
The incident was the more impressive
from the fact that the Greens were the first
company in the south to carry the United
States flag after the war. The occasion
was the celebration of the Fort Moultrie
centennial in 1876. The flag. which was one
of the highest priced relics OF the corps,
was unfortunately destroyed by the great
fire of April, 1889, which burned Capt.
Flanuerys house.
After the flag raising the Greens had
their photographs taken.
The success Of the picnic is due to the I'M
firing efforts of the committee, which con-
sisted of Lieut.. 2. F. Gleason, Sergt E. A.
Leonard, Corpl. w. j Flood and Privates
]. F. Euright and Charles White. and Pay
Members J. L. Gallagher and r. E. Pepper
