William Jones was shot in the groin last
night about II o'clock by William Williams
at the flying horses. on Randolph street.
Both parties are colored. They got into
a dispute about some trivial affair and Jones
slapped Williams face. The latter promptly
pulled out his revolver and shot his assail-
ant, after which he ran up Randolph street.
A crowd of colored men followed and
chased him through Dixon's lot and out st.
Julian street toward the Savannah, Florida
and Western wharves. During the latter
part Of the chase Williams thought his pur-
suers were getting uncomfortably close and
turning around be sent three bullets flying
into their ranks. This put an end to the
chase, as none of the men after Williams
were armed, and they didn't care to take
any chances Of fighting empty handed
against q man with pistol.
News was sent to the police barracks that
one man had been killed and another fatally
wounded, and that the murderer was forti-
fed in Dixon's lot. Acting on the informa-
ton, Assistant Chief Killourhy took q
squad of officers to the scene in a hurry
only to find that the affair had been greatly
exaggerated.
Dr. Dunn attended Jones. He doesn't
fear any fatal results. as the bullet coursed

Took a Silver From His Throat.

s. II. Warwick, general agent of Rand,
McNally & Co. of Philadelphia, Is stopping
at the De Soto. Mr.. Warwick had very
successful and somewhat peculiar operation
performed upon him yesterday. For
eight mouths he has been suffering
from what he supposed to be q
tishbone In bis throat and sought the serv-
ices OF several physicians. They could find
nothing, and declared that his trouble was
merely nervousness resulting from the grip.
Mr.. Warwick continued to grow worse, and
since he has been at the De Soto has suffered
great pain aud was compelled to have his
meals sent to his room. He
called on DR.. Paige on LIB
erty street yesterday aud had him
examine his throat. After clipping the
uvula or palate. which was unusually
long, Or. Paige succeeded in locating the
substance and extracted it from its lodging
place deep down in Mr.. Warwick's throat
II was a piece of bone or wood about / d
inches long and almost as thin as hair.
Mr.. Warwick was greatly rejoced TO be re-
lieved after eight months suffering.

A SERVICE THAT DON'T SUIT.
The Trouble With the Nails Between
Savannah and Americus.

The Trouble With the Nails Between
Savannah and Americus.
Mr.. U. B. Harold of Americas, one OF
the Central railroad directors who attended
the meeting in Savannah Friday, says the
mail service between Savannah and Ameri-
Gus is very unsatisfactory TO the people OF
the latter city as IT is probably to Savan-
nah.
Mr.. Harold says not week passes that
one or more New York and Savannah
mails are not missed, and not very long ago
three mails from Savannah we're received
In Amertcus the same day.
The trouble seems TO be with the sched-
ules OF the Savannah and Western and the
Savannah, Americas and Montgomery rail-
roads, which are now operated independ-
emily Of each other. The Savannah and
western train Is scheduled 10 leave Savans
nah at 7:20 O'Clock in the morning and reach
Lyons at 1890 O'Clock In the afternoon,
The Savannah, Amerious and Montgomery
train leaves Lyons at o'clock, allowing q
half hour to make connections. The
or Savannah and Western frequently
misses the connection and the mail Is
brought back to Savannah TO lay over an
other day.
The reason given for this Is that the Sa-
yannah and Western train waits Tor the
last mail on tue Atlantic Coast Line,
which arrives at 645 O'Clock in
the morning. The fast mail is FREE
quently behind time. sometimes two hours.
This causes the Savannah and Western
train to be late, and as thu lost time is not
made up between Savannah and Lyons it
fails 20 make connections. The Savannah,
Anlerlcus and Montgomery train will not
wait over half an hour now for the Savan-
nah and Western. and as a consequence
passengers and mail often fail TO make the
transfer. The passengers have to lie over
at Lyons and the mails are returned to
Savannah.
Mr.. Harold said be had brought the mat,
ter to the notice OF Supt. McBee Of the Gen.
trail railroad and the superintendent had ex-
pressed willingness to do everything in
bis power to remedy the present state Of
affairs. II may not be so, but TO an outsider
it looks at IL the trouble is due to the lack
OF harmony between the two rail-
roads on account of the recent
break in their relations. One or the other,
or both, are evidently at fault. In the
meanwhile the present state of affairs is
very much to the detriment of the mer-
chants OF Amerious and Savannah.

The Cremetory Burning Cheaper
Than the Guarantees.
The garbage crematory is again in opera
ton and Is now run more successfully than
at any time since 1t was built. An expert,
Mr. Wheeler, has been employed to look
after it. and although as yet be has only got
one furnace burning. it is consuming two
thirds of the city's garbage and night soil,
at cost Of only 1lsS cents per cubic foot,
which is IA cents less than the L'Engle COM
pany guaranteed.
Next week MIR. Wheeler will have the
other furnace in operation, and then every
particle of garbage will be cremated. The
trouble heretofore with the working OF the
crematory has been that sufficient draft was
not given the flues. Mr.. Wheeler discov-
cred this as soon as he took charge ard
remedied the trouble. Alderman Harris,
chairman of the health and cemetery COM
mittee, is deliR hted with the results he has
finally obtained with the crematory.
