from slumber by q cat. which had become
frantic IN it's efforts to escape from the
burning building, leaping upon his
breast.
Dilwyn street, upon which the factory
was located, is an extremely narrow thor

municated to the frame dwellings oppo-
site. One ofthem was occupied by William
Matthews. He and Mrs. Matthews were
confined to their beds by illness and were
rescued from their perilous position with
great difficulty. They were carried
across the street to the house of neigh

when the house caught fire, when they
were again removed. On account of the

He declared again aud again that Cleve-

that when it came to accusing a man OF

Mr.. Smith should rot say anything, and
that man who wished TO get position
at the Monmouth track had been referred
to MIR. Smith, as the only man who could
give him the place.

DIR. Converse Advises the FreehoIders
Not to Use the Smallpox Pest House.
County Physician Converse wrote to
the Board of Freeholders yesterday. In
his letter he said it was possible to ac-
commodate twenty-five cholera patients
at the Snake Hill pest house, but he did
not think it advisable to use
the building for that purpose.
He pointed out the danger that would
arise if case of smallpox should break
out while the building was being used as
a cholera hospital. DR.. Converse adj
vised that some other building be selected
for cholera patients.
Freeholer Ellis moved that the letter be
filed and that the Committee or Store
house and Incidentals be authorized to
secure building such as is needed and
to make whatever purchases may be
necessary, the total amount not to exceed
$500. Freeholder Tierney amended this
SO that special committee of three
should be appointed. Director Brugge-
mann appointed Messrs. Ellis, Tierney
nd HennesSey.

The levying upon the Richmond and Dan
vile cars in the Central railroad depot and
yards here last week under an execution by
Judge Macdonald of the city court, has
stirred up the United States court In At
lanta. The MORNING NEWS published the
fact of the levy. The Richmond and Dan
vile now claims that it was not made in
conformity to law.
Hon. Pope Barrow petitioned Judge New
man day before yesterday for the release Of
the cars. charging that 1t is contempt to
execute levy on the road since 1t has been
placed In the hands Of receiver.
In response to the petition Judge Newman
issued the following order:
Ordered, That before further proceedings
in this court the receiver of the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company apply TO
the judge Of the city court Of Savannah and
request that such order as may be necessary
and proper in order to have the property

order No. to the Fifth Georgia cavalry

shirt and a pair of old trousers, to be used
when doing rough work In camp. Each
trooper will be allowed one sachel or valise
as baggage. No baggage will be allowed in
the passenger coaches, however Paragraph

To avoid all misapprehension the attention of
the officers is called TO the fact that the en-
campment is for improvement in military exer-
cises The entire time of every one in the regi-
ment belongs to the state while in its service.
Leaves of absence for limited time may be
granted at the discretion of troop commanders,
subject to the approval of the regimental com
mander. Such leaves will, except in extraor-
binary cases, be limited to one or more hours
near the middle of the day or after Z p. m, and

No one will be allowed to sleep in camp ex-
cept the officers and men Of the regiment actu-
ally in service and carried on the daily reports,
and the cooks allowed the troops and the field

the car. which was driven by John Johnston
(colorcd).
Johnston didn't see the girl until his
mules stumbled and he heard a scream.
He applied the brakes as quickly as possible,
but it was too late. A moment later the
front wheel of the car went jolting over
the child. and the passengers on the car
said they heard q sound like the crunching
of bones.
Johnston stopped the car before the rear
wheel reached the body, aud Conductor
York sprang into the street and lifted the
child from under the car. She was dead
aud blood was running from her mouth
and nose. Johnston ran at once for a physi-
clan without waiting to find out

been broken. The wheel struck the child
on the left shoulder and passed diagonally
across the chest aud neck.

to the home Of the child's parents in Perry
street lane, near West Broad street. He
postponed the inquest until this morning at
9 o'clock. The accident attracted a big

night about $40 O'Clock while leaving the
yards. Il was out loose from the train at
the foot of Gordon street and an alarm was
sent in from box No. 26, which brought the
department out in hurry.
When the flremen reached the scene the
naphtha Yves blazing lively, and force OF
railroad hands was at work try
ing to extinguish 1t with sand.
There was no use throwing
water on the flames, as it would have the
tendency of spreading them, and Chief
Puder used hand chemicals upon the fire.
1t was extinguished in about twenty min
utes, with but slight damage to the car.
1t is thought sparks from a locomotive
falling upon some of the fluid which had
escaped from the tank started the fire.
