SLASHED WITH A RAZOR.
ARCHIE WALLACE DANGEROUSLY
CUT BY CESAR GORDON.

The Bloody Response to Request to
Keep Quiet-Wallace's Abdomen
Penetrated and His shoulder Cut TO
the Bone-The Wounded Mans Con-
ditlon Critical-GordonE Escapes.
Archie Wallace was cut and seriously,
possibly fatally, wounded by Cesar Cor
don last night. Both parties are colored.
A razor was the weapon used. Wallace re-
ceived two frighful wounds, one in the abb
domen, the razor penetrating the sack of
the bowels. and the other in the shoulder
abont three inches long and into the bone.
Gordon escaped.
The circumstances of the affair show q
deliberate intention on the part Of Gordon
to murder Wallace The trouble occurred
and jackson streets. Mrs. Schroeder is
quite i'll, and the proprietor requested WAL
lace, who is employed in the store, to keep
the colored customers quiet so as not to
disturb his wife.
About z O'Clock Gordon walked into the
place considerably under the influence of
liquor, and began acting in a boisterous
manner, cursing at the top Of his voice and
jumping around the store.
CUT WITHOUT WARNING.
Wallace, who was behind the counter,
asked him to keep quiet, as there was sick
ness in the house, but Gordon's only reply
was curse and an increase of the noise.
Then Wallace stepped from behind the
counter for the purpose of further ex-
postulating with the man. When he got
within about two feet Of him Gordon pulled
q razor from his pocket, and, flinging the
stomach. The wounded man staggered
back against the counter, and as he did 30
Gordon ripped his shoulder open.
With the razor dripping with blood Cor
don ran out Of the door and escaped.
NO ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE GORDON.
There were half dozen or more men in
the store when the cutting took place but
they were so startled at the quickness of the
butchery that they made no attempt to stop
the would-be murderer.
Wallace bled severely before physician
was secured and IN consequence was very
weak. Over a dozen stitches were required
to sew up the wounds. He was taken to his
home In the Fort, and is in q critical condi-
ton.
The abdominal wound is similar to that
although it is not quite so long. There is
danger of peritonitis setting in, and if it
does, the termination must necessarily be
fatal.
The police were furnished description of
Gordon, but up to midnight had not eppre-
hended him.

The incorporators of the proposed South
over railroad. Col. G. II. Olmstead, Col ].
L. Whatley. G. Il. Dorsett, ESQ.,, and sew
eral other gentlemen. met last night in the
Commercial Club rooms aud informally dis
cussed the project.
No attempt was made at an organization
because OF the absence OF several gentlemen
whom it wns supposed would take an active
interest in the enterprise. Those who were
present examined a map of that part
Of the county through which
the proposed line would run,
and manifested quite lively interest in the
matter. There appeared to be some doubt
as TO the paying capacity Of such a railroad.
unless IL should be extended to White Bluff
and in the informal discussion that took
place the idea of railroad to that point and
Hosedew was quite prominent.
The plan Of the incoporators is to COM
mence the new railroad at Montgomery
ana Twelfth streets, where the Belt Line
turns, run out Montgomery street parallel
with the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway track for short distance, thence
into Ogeechee avenue, out to Southover and
back again to the initial point, forming a
belt. The intention is to also build a spin
track from the main line to the contem~
plated factory site on the Savannah,
Florida and Western just beyond the "YH
and from there TO Vernon park and White
Bluff, running through the Dutchtown
settlement aud Nicholson village.
The enterprise is an important one, as il
will develop the whole Of the south and
southwestern suburbs Of the city, and result
in the building 10 of thrifty village ad
Joining Savannah. The motive power oil
the new road will most likely be electricity
Another meeting will be held at an early
day to get things in working shape.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
That Is the Estimate for Savannah's
Harbor Improvement.

That 10 the Estimate for Savannah's
Harbor Improvements.
In the MORNING NEWS dispatches yester-
day morning, among the river and harbor
estimates to be transmitted to congress. was
one estimate of 500, 200 for the Savannah
harbor Improvement. That appeared to be
small estimate for the Savannah harbor.
Inquiry at the Office Of the engineer in
Charge Of the harbor improvement still fur
ther confirmed the belief that the alleged
estimate was a mistake. The MoRHINGNEw
inquired of its correspondent who sent the
river and harbor dispatch whether he had
not made mistake, and received the fol-
lowing reply:
in my dispatch l stated that the esti-
mate for Savannah harbor was $1,000 900.
lne copy was typewrjtten.n
IL seems that in transmission over the
wires the 100000 shrank to 500. 600.
1t Is hoped that congress in dealing with
the harbor, will take into consideration
its Importance and will make an approuria-
tton sufficient to complete the Improvement.
The cost of completing the improvements
will be much less if work on it is continu-
Gus, than if appropriations Of comparatively
small sums running over a number of years
are depended upon.

THH ORPHAN FUND CONCERT.
a Delightful Recital at Odd Fellows
Fall.


The concert at Odd Fellows hall last
night under the auspices of Oglethorpe
Lodge for the orphan home fund was a de-
lightful musical event The audience was
composed largely of musical people, and
completely filled the body of the hall.
The programme was composed OF nine
numbers. Beethovan's 'Kreutzer sonata
was down for the opening number. but only
the first part was played, a disappointment
to many who had hoped to hear the
der Hoya played the piano part
of the celebrated presto with great dash
and good taste. The violin part was
played by Prof. Won der Hoya.
The concerto, by De Beriot, and Vieux-
temps reverie for violin, were also played
by Prof. Won der Hoya with great skill and
were enthusiastically received.
The piano selections, Chopin's Hunter
Polanaise, :" LA Danse des SyIphidesn aud
Paganini-L iszt's "La Campanella" were ex-
ecuted with that brIlliance which character
lies Mime. Won der Hoya's playing. She
was received with much enthusiasm and
her playing was repeatedly applauded.
The Magnolia quartette, Messrs. w. N.
Smith, Julian Walker, Frank Keilbach and
w. B. Ford, sang 1.-The Gay Pilgrim" and,
in response to the applause which followed
it, sang a second selection.
The solo because Of Thee" by Mr..
Walker, was the vocal event of the even
ing As an encore MIR. Walker sang Come
Where the Lindens Bloom"
The ladies' quartette, Mrs. Hunter and
Misses ColdiDg, Lesesne and Smith sang
Soederman's "a Wedding March," aud
were recalled and sang a portion of the Sc
lection as an encore.
The entire programme was brilliantly
rendered. The concert was under the d.
rection of Profs. Won der Hoya and Smith,
with Nine. Won der Hoya as accompa-
mist, and was one of the most enjoyable
that has recently been given in Savannah.

The sentimental songs, "My Mothers

effect
The finale was probably the most comical
feature Of the evening Eight colored babies

sung by each baby TO its neighbor, and then
a parody on "Mary Had Little Lamb

greatly to the management of Mr.. A. P.
