LOST HIS TOES.

The Result of Boys Attempt to Pass
Between Cars.
A boy named Meara had the toes of his
left foot crushed off yesterday between the
bumpers Of two freight cars in the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway yard.
Some OF the cavalrymen were preparing
to leave the city, and a crowd of boys was
gathered around in the way. The police
drove them out of the yard. Meara
was among the crowd, and he attempted to
pass between the cars, to either get out of
the yard or around on the other side He
placed one foot on the bumper and the other
on the projecting piece OF one of the cars.
While in that position pusaer struck the
other car and caught the youths foot be-

FOUR FILLMCREs MEET.
Nephews of the Late President in But-
falo to Get Their Share of the Estate.
From the NeiD York Sim

Nephews of the Late President in Buff
falo to Get Their Share OF the Estate.
From the New York SIN.
BUFFALO. April 3O-Those who passed
in or out of the barroom at the Tiff house
this afternoon could not have helped MOTTO
ing party of four men. They would have
attracted attention in any place in this city,
for they were typical farmers, and of the
most pronounced "Hoosier" stamp. They
were all happy, talking loud and shaking
dice for drinks. They were having q big
time
But their mission here is one calculated TO
make any one happy. IL was n sort of fam
lily reunion of the heirs of President Willard
Fillmore. The meeting means more than
family reunions usually do as it will be the
means Of bringing to each one Of the heirs
a nice little fortune.
The Fillmore estate is worth about $780,
900 and is to be divided among eleven per-
sons, five of whom live In Michigan, three
i'll Indiana, two In Washington, and one in
California. Those who are here are George
NJ, Benjamin F., Almon L.. and Willard
G. Fillmore, all nephews Of the dead Presi-
dent
The other heirs, with the exception Of
one. are expected here before tomorrow,
for at that time the final settlement of the
estate will take place in the surrogate's
court.
The four nephews bad everything their
own way at the Tiff House. and they spent
lots of money. They are now 10 an uptown
saloon shaking dice, telling stories about
their great uncle, and buying drinks for the
crowd.
I'm have mother cocktail" "So'll l"
and SOIL y and "So'll l." Time and
again this order has gone round tonight
until the nephews are light headed and are
making fun for the spectators.
The four nephews are as perfect speci-
mems Of Hoosier farmers as could easily be
produced. They wore boiled shirts, but no
collars or cuffs. Their shirts were Of that
kind that have plaits and buttons up at the
front, with neck band wide enough to
make collar unnecessary. Almon is q
smooth-faced, solid old chap, So years old,
and is said to resemble the President more
closely than any other of the living de-
scendautS. Willard G. is a sturdy man
of So, and wears gray muStaohe.
Benjamin f. is the oldest OF the Fill
more heirs. He is Is years of age, and
with his tuft of gray chin whiskers and
sharp features makes a good Uncle Sam.
The four nephews arrived yesterday, and
soon started to paint the town. Almon was
the spokesman of the party yesterday, and
seems to take a greater pride In tn, mem
DRY of his famous old uncle than any other
of the party. This was uncle's watch, he
said proudly, as he drew from his trousers
pocket an old-fashioned, open-face gold
watch. 1t was an English lever, and sew
enty-ive years ago was probably one of the
most valuable watches in America. On the
back case is this inscription IN a circle:

A Captain and Sailor Have a Mar
row Escape a. Pensacola.
PENSACOLA, FLA, May 2.-Capt Charles
Hart Of the American schooner Levi had a
terrible experience this afternoon. That his
desth did not result seems nothing short Of
miraculous, A tug was lying near his vessel
preparing to tow the latter 20 ses. He, with
one of his men, was in a small boat near
the stern of the steamer. Suddenly
the latter began backing, the action Of the
screw drawing the small boat toward the
tug The suction was irresistible and the
boat was shortly in the wheel and broken TO
pieces. The captain and his man jumped
overheard, but not without the influence ex-
erted by the revolving screw, aud quickly
the former was drawn to the pillar. He
wa picked up by the screw and whirled
around in the blades three OF four times By
this time the sailor had also been drawn
TO the screw, which struck him once when
IL was stopped. Both men were pickad up
aud at once brought ashore for surgical
attention. The captains clothes had been
torn into shreds, and he was gashed ana
bruised from head to foot, some of the cuts
being long and deep. His wounds are of a
serious nature, but the physicians think hA
will recover. The other man was only
slightly injured by the blow he received.

The Newly Elected Executive Com
mittee in Session.
CHARLESTON. s. c., May 2.-The newly
elected democratic executive committee
held its first meeting to-day. A number of
the recently organized democratic ward
clubs sent in their applications for member
bership. All of these applications were
referred to the subcommittee with instruc-
tions to notify the ward clubs that applics
tions for enrolment under the state constl-
tuition would be received later. This action
Of the democratic executive committee
evidently means that there will be com
promise in the ranks of the party.
THE OFFICIAL ACTION.
No official action, however, will be taken
until aftor the adjournment of tle May
convention, which represents very re-
spectacle minority of the Democratic party
in the city. The May convention meets on
Monday next. IL will be COM
posed of very respectable mem
bers of the democracy of Charleston
The supposition is that the convention
will adjourn without action. The work Of
the municipal democratic executive com
mittee seems to have healed the breach in
the party. 1t is possible that there may be
two tickets in the field, but the election will
be decided by the democrats entirely.

Why a Girl Can't Throw a stone.
From the Washington Post

The difference between a girls throwing
and a BOYS is substantially this: The boy
crooks his elbow and reaches back with the
upper part of his arm about at right angles
with his body and the forearm ct AS. The
direct act Of throwing is accomplished by
bringing the arm back with a sort OF snap.
working every joint from shoulder 20 wrist.
The girl throws with her whole arm
rigid, the boy with his whole arm relaxed.
Why this mark d aud unmisiakable diff
ference exists may be explained by the fact
that the clavicle or collar bone in the female
anatomy is some inches longer aid set some
degrees lower down than in the masculine
frame. The long, crooked, awkward bone
iuterferes with the full and free use Of the
arm. This is the reason why a girl cannot
throw a stone.
