There have been few that could be called
more than ordinarily warm days and none
that could really be called hot days The
mean temperature yesterday was 76'. The

with the soorching heat of the
northern cities, from which there Is no e.

About 4:30 o'clock Barnard street cleo
trio car collded with gig which Mr.. Will
Grayson Of the firm of j. s Collins & Co.
was riding. MIR. Grayson was thrown out
and his leg caught between the spokes
of the wheel. The mule drawing the gig
became frightened and dashed down
Barnard street and around into Brough ton
street lane, dragging Mr.. Grayson on the
ground The animal was stopped at Whit
aker street and Mr.. Grayson was extricated
from his perilous position. Everyone
thought his leg was broken, but beyond
several severe bruises and a bad fright
which left him somewhat dazed, he escaped
serious injury.
Many people who saw Mr.. Grayson being
dragged over the ground turned. away in
horror, not wanting to witness his death,
which they thought would result.
Aboue o'clock q team Of mules, attached
to I. j. Davis grain delivery wagon, be-
came frightened at Barnard and

the Electric Company VIII
Accept the City's Terms.

Whether the Electric Company VIII
Accept the City's Terms.
The Electric Railway Company has not
yet signed the contract with the city for the
market franchise. The ordinance granting
the franchise was passed by the council last
Wednesday, week ago to-day. 1t requires
that the terms it names be accepted within
fifteen days from the date of the passage of
the ordinance. That time expires next
week.
The directors Of the Electric company will
meet tomorrow to decide what they will
do, whether they will accept the
clty's terms or not. President Collins
said yesterday that he could not
tell what the company will do. The pro-
vision which 1t is considering is that which
requires the Savannah Real Estate and
Building Company TO transfer to the city
certain property In the eastern part of the
city In consideration Of the market
privilege.
That seems to be the trouble and about
the oTly thing that stands In the way OF the
with the terms of the ordinance.
The railway company thinks 10 has done a
good deal for the city now and the further
requirement of the council lie rather unex-
pected. One gentlemen who is in a position
to know what Is going on said, however,
that there is little doubt that the company
will accept the city's terms and that the
contract will be signei within day or two.
AS soon as that is done the work of putting
the road through the market will begin.
Then will come the injunction proceed
ings, if any are to be filed. 1t is not gen
erally believed that, since council has
granted the franchise, after careful investi-
cation and upon the opinion Of expert
engineers, that the proper building Of the
road through the market building will in
any way injure the structure, an injunction
IAN be secured In the courts.

Sight of Savannah.
Mr.. Powers of the De Soto Is north
advertising the hotel at a number of the
resorts there. He will return soon and
then Mr.. Watson will go north and take up

Of the advantages offered by Savannah, can
be relied on to stop over here every winter.
This is the class that Messrs. Watson &
Powers are especially working to increase

tensively and as favorably known as st.
Augustine or any other tourist point.
