How They Are Conducted aud by whom

II was one Of the wisest OF woman phi
iosophers who said that until her sex ceased
to be satisfied with diet of tea and buns
complete equality between the sexes was
impossible. 1t would appear that this sort
OF diet still satisfied the conservative Lon
don woman, 10 judge from the loyalty with
which they cling to the idea that the pas.
try cooks and the confsctioners are the
proper and genteel places for woman to
get her lunch. Not long ago, however, the
"anti-man" party OF advanced women
raised the cry that the one thing needful
to the peace and prosperity Of the London
woman was restaurant devoted solely TO
her use, and accordingly THE Dorothy"

other in Mortimer street was started by
Mrs. Cooper Oakley, the fashionable mil
liner known as mime. Isabel"

The Cutting ofSavannshians at That Re.
sort Yesterday.
Yesterday was an enjoyable day at
Thundsrbolt to all who went to have an
outing at that popular rstreAt.
Large crowds went down on the electric
cars. and many vehicles from the city made
the shell road lively. A great many had
expected TO see the race between Prince,
the bioyclist, and the fast pacers, but the
proposed race was postponed until next
Sunday.
All the bicycle boys we're there trying
their speed on the half mile track, and many
broke their past records while they were
giving pace for Prince, who was training
them, and was on the track doing a seven
teen mile heat. In the heat he averaged
about three minutes to the mile. Some
dashes we're made In 1888 to $3.50,
About thirty fast horses were also maxi
ing occasional dashes of a half and one mile
pneumatic tired sulky was exhibited on
the track and created quite a sensation, it
being the first vehicle of the kind that has
ever been here.
There was large crowd of spectators in
the grand stand, who enjoyed watching the
exercises.
At the several public houses there was the
usual large crowd of visitors, all taking In
the exhilarating air Of Thundsrbolt.
The yachtsmen were also taking advantage
of the pleasant weather and a number of
small craft were sailing in the waters front
ing Thunderbolt.
There was no excitement or disturbances
to mar the pleasure of the visitors. and the
afternoon passed off quietly and pleasantly.

A serious accident occurred on the Cen

James J. Nolan. a former employe as
switchman Of the road, was run over by
the switching engine and train in the yard.
Mr.. Nolan's right leg was completely sew
cred when he was picked up. The train had
passed over the limb just above the knee.
His condition is thought to be very seri-
GUS and bis chance Tor recovery are very
doubtful. He was kindly cared for by the
officers and employees of the road and made
as comfortable as his condition would allow
In the meantime the police ambulance had

man was placed on hastily constructed
stretcher and conveyed to the ambulance,
which was in waiting and taken to st.

Mr.. Nolan was discharged from St. Jo-
| seph's infirmarY about three weeks ago,
aud since that time had been out of work.
| He was seen in the waiting room of the Cen
| trail shortly before the accident occurred,
and was afterward seen passing through

TO have TERMINALS here.
That is the Purpose OF the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular Railway.

That is the Purpose OF the Florida Cen.
trail and Peninsular Railway.
Maj w. s. Greene OF jacksonville, chief
engineer Of the construction of the Florida
Central and Peninsular railroad extension "a
Savannah, passed through the city yestsr.
day On route to Florida.
The working forces of she Southern Sup
ply Company, which has the contract for
building the road, will arrive in Savannah
this week. The forces will be distribu ted
over the road at once and the work pushed
rapidly. There will be over LOO men
besides teams at work upon the line by
Xmas
The request Of the Florida Central and
Penlnsular for a grant of land for terminal
facilities from the city ia taken to mean
that the road will come into the city aud
have its own terminals, with wharves, de-
pots and warehouses. instead Of using the
termiu al facilities Of one Of the other lines.
The statement of Vice-President Henderson
to MORNING NEWS reporter bears out
this impression.
We intend to come into the city, said
Col. Henderson. eff the other railroad
people are willing to move up little and
give US place, 30 much the better. II not,
we shall have to squeeze In somehow. 1t is
like lot of boys on a bench In the park.
Another boy comes up and wants seat
II the others will move up and give him
seat on the end he is satisfied, if not
he plumps himself down in the
middle aEd squeezes in anyhow. That Is
about the situation"
Col. Henderson said that his road ex-
peoted to do a large business through Sa-
vannah from the beginning, and that, in
fact, this would be one of the most impor-
tant if not the most important, office of the
nj N do 10
porting business OF cotton, fruit and vege-
tables.
Col Henderson does not seem to regard
the property granted to the South Bound
railroad which has been leased by the
Florida Central and Peninsulsr railroad,
as sufficient for the needs of
his road. He also intimated
was in view, which would give the Florida
Centrsl and Penlnsular the shortest and most
desirable through line from Florida to the
north by which means it would be enabled
TO compste with the Atlantic Coast Line for
both through freight and passenger bust
ness This connection is supposed to be
with the Seaboard Air Line, though Col.
Henderson said nothing of the kind. This,
of course. would be valuable to Savannah
as giving her another through line north
and south.
The entry of the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad to Savannah will be of
assistance in bringing about
the much desired line of direct steamers to
foreign ports. The road has a great deal
Of territory that 1t desires to develop
and the bringing in OF immigration would
assist greatly to this end. IL is predicted
that the entry OF the Florida Central and
Peninsular will prove Savannah's most
railroad acquisition In recent
years
