THE TRADE EXCURSIONS
Committees Appointed to Take Hold
of the Matter at Once.

The business mems meeting at the De
Soto last night to arrange for the rail-
road trade excursions to Savannah, was
well attended and lively interest in the
project was exhibited. There was good
representation of the retail business in
terests.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
S. Krouskoff as temporary chairman. MIR.
B. II. Levy, MIR. 5. Krouskoff and Mr. J.
A. Bates were proposed for the perma-
nent craftsmanship, but as none of the gen
tlemen mentioned seemed DESTROYS of the
honor, Mr.. Krouskoff was forced to re-
main in the chair under protest. Mr..
Bates was elected treasurer
MIR. Krouskoff dwelt upon the fact that
the country retail trade, which was once
of great Importance to Savannah. has
drlfted away, to great extent, to other
points on account of the greater attention
given by the Savannah merchants to the
development of the wholesale trade and
the object of the movement for which the
meeting was held was to bring this trade
back to Savannah.
"The country is no poorer than it was
ten years ago" said Mr.. Krouskoff
The fact is that it is buying more goods
and better goods than then, and paying
more money for them. We have relied
too long upon the importance of Savan-
nah to bring trade to Our doors. and it is
now time for us to exert ourselves and 90
out and bring it in"
Other gentlemen present agreed with
Mr.. Krouskotf, A general discussion fol-
lowed upon ways and means. 1t was de-
cided to go ahead and get upsubscriptions
for the movement, and to appoint com
mittees for the work and also to arrange
with the railroads upon a system ST ex-
curslons TO bring the country people to
Savannah at nominal rates of fare
Messrs. Appel, Foye, Levy, Dryfus,
Lindsay and Douglass were appointed a
finance committee to canvass for sub
scriptions in behalf of the excursions.
Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Bates were ap-
pointed a committee on arrangements to
confer with the railroads.
A meeting viii be called hext week to
hear the reports of the committees.

CROWDS AT THE DOG SHOW.
How Prof. Gentry Trains His Dogs
and Ponies


The dog and pony show had another
large audience last night. The tent was
packed. Prof. Gentry, who by the wav.
is very clever young gentleman, said af-
ter the entertainment, speaking of the
training of his dogs and ponies, that
while he considers it, to a great extent.
natural for him, he relies largely on
kindness and patience. II never under
take to train dog or pony" he said,
unless know the animal shows a natural
aptness to be trained. Animals are like
human beings in a great many respects.
Some have more brains than others
When begin to train a dog or pony first
gain the animals love and respect. That
once accomplished, the rest is COMPARE
lively easy, but it requiresa great deal of
patience. 1t required eight months con-
slant work to train Barney, the soner-
sault dog, and as l have over forty dogs,
you can imagine how much patience it re-
qulrea to educate them all
"A great many people imagine" said
Prof. Gentry, that only thoroughbred or
full blooded dogs are trainable, but such
is not the case. The dog Barney is a COM
mon cur dog; never give up a course of
training, and above all things l never use
Ihe Whlp while training. | consider my
collection Of dogs worth about SIC, 600"
Prof Gentry has extended an invita-
ZION to the inmates of the various orphan
as%lums of the city to attend the matinee
this afternoon at o'clock He has
model exhibition, and one that ladies and
children can attend without escorts with
perfect safety. Everything about the

The Shipments of Florida's Golden
Fruit Greater Than Ever Known.
The movement of the orange crop

This year eight steamers this winter

A VERDICT OF MURDER.
The Coroner's Investigation of the
Killing of A. T. Reid.

AAO SCAOAGA > AANS5bAkab1Oh O4 Jn6
Killing of A. T. Reid.
the coroner's jury which investigated
the killing of Mr. Alfred T. Reid, who
was run over by truck at Jones and
East Broad streets Monday afternoon,
brought in verdict yesterday afternoon,
charging the negro driver, Scott Peal,
not only with reckless and careless driv-
ing but also with murder.
The accident which caused Reid's death
took place Monday afternoon and the cir
cumstances were reported in the MORNING
NEWS of yesterday 1t was not thought
at the time, however, that his injuries
were so serious, and in fact, Monday
night he was reported to have been rest
ing easy with good chances of recovery.
Later in the night, however, he became
worse, probably from internal injuries
which were not discovered from an exter-
nal examination of his wounds, and died
yesterday morning shortly before day
light
DIED FROM INTERNAL INJURIES.
The truck by which Mr. Reid was
struck was large one, and one of its
wheels striking full against his chest,
was calculated to cause severe internal
injuries The injured man was taken to
his home, No. Taylor street, shortly
after the accident, and while his wounds
were dressed by DR. Bloodworth, who
was summoned, he did not live long
enough to allow the doctors to determine
the extent to which he had received in
ternal injuries
There were few witnesses to the acct
dent, unfortunately, but they were able
to give good statement of the facts.
They all agreed as to the reckless and
careless driving on the part of Peal, the
drayman, and SAID that after he had run
over Mr.. Reid he went on as hurriedly as
possible, probably to escape being caught,
as if aware that he would be held &C
countable for his recklessness.
ESCAPE OF THE DRIVER.
After the accident, Peal hurried to
Mr. VIM. McCormlck's wagon yard where
he put up his team as quickly as possible,
and made his escape 1t seems that some
one tried to catch the negro just after the
accident, but he drove off so rapidly that
he got away. He is said to have been in
the employ of Mr.. Mccormick off and on
for years, and was considered a careful
driver, but it is possible, however, his
fortune heretofore in not meeting with aC-
cidents has led to that opinion, for in this
instance it was the opinion of all who tes-
TINED, that he was unusually reckless, and
might easily have avoided the accident
with little care.
ELUDED THE POLICE.
This statement of the facts led the cor
oner's jury to bring in a verdict of muir
der. Peal is still at large, however, and
up to a late hour last night had eluded
the vigilance of the police. The coroner's
jury issued a warrant for his arrest and
they are on the lookout for him.
Accidents as a result of reckless
and careless driving are growing
entirely too numerous, and it is time
that steps were being taken to put stop
to them. Every day or two there is re-
port of some such collision as this, and
while they do not always result seriously
they are not to be overlooked. Mr.. Reid
was man about go years old, and leaves
a widow and three children.

Races Put OF Until New Years.
A joint meeting of the directors and the
ways and means committee of the Wheel
mems Track Association was held last
night to discuss a Thanksgiving day pro-
gramme.
The proposition was made at the meet
ing Of the stockholders of the track asso-
citation last week TO give a meet Thanks
giving day in connection with the other
sports at the park The ways and means
committee had taken hold of the
matter and in view of the
fact that Zimmerman, Banker and
Wheeler were to be here, an effort was to
be made TO make the meet an event in
cycling.
The arrangement that had been made
in the meantime by the Athletic Associa-
tlOn to bring the University foot ball team
here on that day has resulted in a change
OF programme, and at last nights meet
ing 1t was decided to postpone the meet
until New Years day.
Vice President Lindsay, of the
Track Association, who presided at
the meeting stated that he had
had a conference with Manager
Golden, of the Savannah team, and
with Maj. Meldrim, of the University
Club, which is taking an active interest
in the game, and in view of the fact that
the match had already been arranged he
believed 1t to be to the interest of the
wheelmen to POSTPONE the meet. Tim
norman, Banker and Wheeler, it is ex-
pected. will be here New Years, and an
effort will be made to make the races on
that day the most interesting yet held in
Savannah.
