A Large Sum Stolen From the Tow
boat Company by an Employee.
A well-1nown young man IN Savannah,
and who has figured in society circles
during his residence here, left the city
several days ago under very suspicious
circumstances.
He was employed by the Savannah
Towboat Company at a moderate salary,
but the life he led being beyond his
means, he went heavily into debt, and
finally left the city with several hundred
dollars of his employers money.
The members of the Towboat Company
said yesterday that the matter had been
settled by the young mans friends in a
manner in every way satisfactory to
them, and they refused to say anything
about the matter.

The Train Dispatchers' association has
just passed through a most critical period
in its history. The association, says the
Railway Age, is primarily of interest and
value to the railway service in the same
way as are other associations-suc as
those of the master mechanics and master
car builders, the accounting officers, the
roadmasters and superintendent of
bridges and buildings-in that, through
it members are brought together to dis
cuss questions pertaining to their work
BY the constant bringing up and discuss
ing of points in the train rules and other
veXed problems relating to the duties of
dispatchers, the members of the associa-
tion are being continually made more
efficient as railway officers and the rail
way service is being propOrtionately
benefited. Every year the work which
the various railway clubs and railway
associations do grows of greater value;
and the part which these organizations
have played in the advancement OF the
science of railway operation during the
last few years is incalculable.

Condition of Officer John X. Upchurch.

Condition of Officer John r. Upchurch.
At latest accounts last night Dep
uty Marshal John R. Upchurch, who
was shot Tuesday night by John
Allen Johnston, was resting easy,
and the physicians thought that
with good care he might recover,
though it is very serious case,
and requires the utmost skill. It is
thought that the ball must have
passed through a portion of the
lett lung, and as the ball has not
yet been located it is probable that
it has lodged in the bowels, and
will pass off. He was taken with q
fit of vomiting yesterday morning,
about 9 o'clock. and a great guam
tity of blood was thrown off; and
also again last evening, about 6
o'clock, but not so much blood was
thrown off as on the former occa-
sion. At last accounts he was rest
ing under the influence of opiates.

The Cotton Market.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Spot cotton in
Liverpool opened quiet at decline of !,
with sales of 5000 bales. Futures
came very weak at 9 to 10 points de-
cline, and during the day 2 more points
were lost. the market closing weak and
dull. Though great disappointment
to al. trends of cotton, our market
added to the perpendicular drop of the
last few days, loss of 10 points on
some, and as high as Is on other posi-
ticps; but no power could withstand the
combination of depressing influences
abroad and at home, and in cons equence
our market touched the lowest point in
many months The depression came
from the South largely. Their efforts
to sell was largely productive of the
absolute want of support to the market.
It was critical period and the infu-
ences produced by reports of an in:
creased acreage combined with the
large crop movement now going On
(which latter fact is an additional evi
dence of their want of confdence) only
aided Liverpool in producing the slums
that followed. It seems they have their
troubles too, and their being the large
teno ers on contracts and a consequent
wish on the part of buyers to avoid the
impact Take it all in all it was day
of disappointment to the friends of cot
ton, and we join ia the wish of many
that it may not occur again. The re
ceipts were 5,973 bales, against 9,2l!
bales. There was no sales of spots il
this market, it being quoted, however
at 1-l6 decline, the southern marke
from l-l6 to decline.
Wheat in Chicago was full of interes
today, the crop reports being largely re
sponsible for the advance, and as out
lined IN our previous dispatches, th
manipulators of May deal are about t
make their final efforts to squeeze th
shorts. May wheat closed at ~; Jul

The Injured In Tuesdays Disaster.

pressed yesterday by all our citi-
zens in the condition of the young
sufferers of Tuesdays terrible acci-
dent and many anxious inquiries
were made. Little Florence Boylan
was the object of particular solici-
tude yesterday morning, as there
had been doubts as to whether she
would live through the night, her
condition being the most serious of
any of the sufferers. Her condition
was practically unchanged yester-
day NOR ning, and it was decided by
her pare nts to take her at once to
Baltimore and give her the benefit
of the most skilled and eminent
treatment which the medical pro-
fession affords. She was rational
yesterday morning, and when the
bandage was removed from her eyes
said she was glad to see that it was
daylight. She was taken to Balti-
more on the 1920 o'clock train.
All the other sufferers were re-
ported as doing as we'll yesterday
as could be expected. Little Addie
Shows injuries proved not to be so
serious as at first thought. Little
Annie Root, although she had both
legs broken, was reported as doing
very we'll Her ply ysicians say that
she is so healthy and vigorous that
the broken limbs will soon heal.
Miss Helen Smedes, niece of Mrs.
Smedes, who had double fracture,
above and below the knee, was suf-
fering a good deal, but there is hope
that the limb will be saved. DR..
Smedes' two little daughters were
botn doing we'll yesterday.
Col snd Mrs. Wharton J. Green
arrived here yesterday and found
their daughter Miss Mabel doing
better than they expected, and bear
ing up with admirable fortitude un.
der her suffering. All the others
who were injured were getting or
nicely.
DR.. Smedes received many tele.
grams of sympathy during the day
yesterday
It is due the young men of The
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege to say that they did everything
in their power for the relief of tn,
sufferers as soon as the acciden
was known, brir singl cots, sum
moning physicians, etc. DR.. Dunn
was the first physician to arrive o,
, the ground and rendered valuabl
aid.
