STRUCK BY a SPENT BALL.
Mr.. Alec Dingwen Wounded in a Pc
culiar Way.

culiar Way.
Alec Dingwell, an enploye of the Armour
Packing Company, was shot under rather
peculiar circumstances Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. G. A. Drayton, manager of the pack
ing house of the Armour company on West
Broad street was standing in the roadw way
that leads into the compauY's yard, when
DinRwell started toward him from the West
Broad street entrance TO speak to
him on matter of business
When within about ten feet of Mr..
Drayton, Dingwell heard whizzing noise
and Immediately felt a blow on the left
shoulder below the collar bone. His shirt
was open and looking down he saw blood
ooZins from the wound. The bullet had
rebouuded and could not be found. In
very short while Mr.. Dingwell's shoulder
was badly swollen. The wound, however,
did not prove at all serious. and he was out
at work yesterday.
An investigation was made but the source
from which the ball came could not be dis
covered. 1t is thought to have been -
caliber rifle ball fired from a long distance
and was in spent condition when it struck
MIR. Dingwell. 1t ia. probable that the ball
struck the side Of one of the neighboring
buildings aud DETECTED as from the average
merit of the surrounding buildings it would
be difficult to fire direct shot from the
west, the direction from which the bail
came. so that IL would strike where Mr.,
Dingweu was standing.

What Savannah Visitor Says About
the Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Julian Schley has returned from
Chicago, where he attended the annual
meeting of the general agents of the Peun
Mutual Life Insurance Company. While
there he paid several visits to the worlds fair
grounds. He says that it is simply impos-
sibIe to comprehend the magnitude of the
proposed exposition except by tour of the
site aud personal inspection of the mann
moth buildings now 10 course of erection.
The centennial exposition at Philadelphia
in 1875 will be 30 far surpassed, Judging
from the grand scale of the arrangements,
that there will really be no comparison be-
tween the two. The Chicago business men
all manifest the most intense interest in the
fair. They believe that it is going TO be
the means Of putting Chicago at the head
Of American cities by the time tho next
census is taken.
He said he never knew what the
word heat really meant until he ex-
perienced Chicago weather. IL was the
hottest experience he ever went through,
and Savannah, Mr.. Schley said, is delight
fully cool compared with the Windy city.
He prefers Savannah to Chicago during the
summer season.
