There seems to have been some mistake
with regard to the Chinaman who was
written upin yesterdays MORNING News
as being a victim of leprosy. The mistake
was only as to the person, the Chinese COL
ony still persisting til at they have leper
in their midst.
Willie Wong Gen, the Iaundryman who
was given the undesirable notori-
ETY., called at the MORNING NEWS
office yesterday morning and denied
that he was affected by such a disease. He
stated that be was willing TO submit to an
examination by physician TO prove his as
sertion. Wong Gen is a small cousumptivo-
looking Chiuaman, but has no indication of
being tainted with leprosy. He was identi-
fed by the Cinnamon at the restaurant at
the corner Of Broughton and Drayton as
being a good boy" He is also a Sunday
school boy they said, and attends his class
regularly.
Hes oil right, he's my friend" said the
big CbinRman who makes his headquarters
at the restaurant, and seems 70 be the head
of the colony.
The Chinese claim that they vera mis-
understood as to the location OF the leper
They assert that the man referred to is one
of the laundrymen on Liberty street, but
claim that they do not know his name.
They still want the case investigated.

RESULTS OF RECKLESS DRIVING.
Several Bicyclists Hurt Through Mali.
ciousness or Carelessness.

Several Bicyclists Eurt Through Mali.
ciousness or Csrelessness.
w. J. Goodwin. an employe of the Gem
trail Sailroad, came near being killed sby
being run down by carriage while on his
bicycle at Bull and Charlton streets Friday
afternoon.
Mr.. Goodwin had a new Ormonde bicycle,
which be had just purchased. He was
riding along on the right aide Of Bull street.
When at the corner OF Charlton a car
riage, driven rapidly, turned the corner
on the LETT side of the street driving right
over him and tramping him down into the
street.
The bicycle was bent double and the
rider dragged several feet by the carriage.
his clothes were badly torn and he was SO
severely bruised that 1t will be some time
before he will be out again.
The driver did not stop TO sec what dam
age had been done, but whipped up his
horses and drove away rapidly. Those
who saw the accident declare that
IL was the drivers fault, as he was on the
wrong side of the street, driving rapidly,
ana made no effort 20 avoid the a cldent.
Mr.. Goodwin was taken up and carried to
his homo on Gordon street, near East
Broad.
Accidents of this kind are becoming very
and Charlton streets. A young
girl on bicycle was run over
there one day last week and
narrowly escaped being seriously hurt, and
several other bicyclsts have had narrow
escapes at the same corner recently.
A gentleman was thrown out OF road
cart by a dray running into him at this
corner not very long since, and was badly
bruised up.
There are several reasons for the frequent
accidents at this point. Bull street is wide
enough for safety and convenience, but the
side streets running into 1t from
around Fhe square are very narrow,
and hardly wide enough for more than one
carriage at time. There are buildings on
each Of the south corners and shade trees
along the side OF the street, making it al
most impossible for any one approaching
around the square to see vehicles or persons
in the main street.
The main FAULT Of the accident is with the
carriage and wagon drivers, who commonly
disregard ths laws as to fast driving aud
driving to the right, ana who seem to
care nothing for any damage that may oc-
cor. If an example were made of two or
three drivers there would be less complaint.
The bicyclists complain that the carriage
and truck drivers not only disregard The
laws as TO fast driving aud keeping to the
right, but frequently make deliberate at
tempts to run them down. The best thing
is for bicycists to hereafter
secure the arrest Of all drivers guilty OF
this offense There is no doubt that the
mayor will deal out justice that will fit the
crime.
The owners OF the carriages and drays are
liable for damages in cases of such aoci-
dents, and If called on TO pay few times
would doubtless be more careful Ia their Sc
lection Of drivers.

FUNERAL OF osCEoLA BUTLER.

Hundreds OF Friends Follow the
Body to the Grave
The funeral OF the late Osceola But
Ter took place from Christ church yeser-
day afternoon at o'clock.
The funeral was largely attended. The
cortege was received at the church by the
members OF Ancient Landmark lodge of
Masons, headed by w. 5. Rock well, W
NJ, the Chatham Artillery in command of
Lieut.. Harmon. and q large delegation of
the Savannah fire department, headed by
Chief Puder. The members Of the Savan-
nah Cadets also attended in citizens dress
On account Of the heavy thunder storm
which came up and continued during the
afternoon, the attendance at the church was
not as large as it otherwise would have
been. Had it not been for the rain the
funeral would have been one of the largest
seen in Savannah in recent years As 10
was, a large number of the friends and 40
auaintance of the deceased showed their
respect by attending

The floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful. The mosJ noticeable was q
large fire ladder in flowers, surmounted by
a cross and crown and with a miniature
hose wrapped around the ladder. This was
the appropriate tribute of the fire DEPART
ment to the memory OF the former chief
A long line Of carriages, containing the
family and many friends of the deceased,
followed the hearso to BonaYenture. A
large crowd had gathered on Bull and Con-
gross streets to await the funeral procession,
the rain having held up. These waited
with great respect until the entire line had
passed.
The ARTILLERY and the Masons took the
Coast Line cars for Bonaventure. The in
torment at the cemetery was made with
Masonic honors. One of the guns OF the
Chatham Artillery had been brought to the
cemetery. A farewell salute was fired at
the conclusion Of the services, and the body
that so recently contained the kindly and
jovial spirit Of Osceola Butler was left to
rest beneath the oaks.

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.

Delegates Gathering at Springfield for
the State Convention.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 25.-Though
the Democratic state convention does not
meet until Wednesday, Democrats are
already arriving in large numbers. 1t is
thought certain that ex-Judge John P.
Altgelt OF Chicago will be nominated for
governor. There is every indication Of
a lively contest over presidential ques-
tions. United States Senator Palmer
has an unquestioned majority of the
state delegates, but there is strong
movement among certain Southern Illi-
nois Democrats against any instruction
whatever of delegates to the national
convention. Congressman Formap,
Fithian, Wike and Williams, it
is understood, will be in favor
of the convention declaring un-
equivocally for Grover Cleveland and no
Endorsement whatever being given
Palmer and his candidacy. The mem
bers of the forthcoming committee on
resolutions are already at work on the
platform. The planks thus far agreed
upon denounce the Mckinley bill; re-
affirm the Democratic reform declara-
tions, and declare in favor of the coin
age of gold and silver as legal tender in
sufficient amount to meet the wants of
the country. A cordial endorsement is
given the Springer bill providing
for an international monetary confer
ence.
