THE CGNTRAL's BLUE FLYER.
a Short lRun Up to Pooler on tn
Famous Royal Blue.

a Short lRun Up to Pooler on the
Famous Royal Blue.
There was large crowd of railroad
officials and others at the Central depot yes
terday to witness the christening of the
the Royal Blue train, which is to follow the
swift flyer "Nanoy Hanks to Atlanta on
Sunday morning next.
Chief Train Dispatcher Sala acted con-
ductor for the short run up to Pooler, which
was made as trial trip to test the running
OF the beautiful blue coaches. Among other
prominent railroad men who went no on
the trip were Messrs. J. G. Halle, W. P.
Epperson and G. G.. Anderson. Mr.. Will
lam P. st. Johns, representative of the
Pintsch Gas Company, whose system is
| used in lighting The new cars, was also one
of the party, and the number of ladies' and
gentlemen who made the short trip we're
| treated royalty at his expense.
None OF the new compound al-
gines were available for the trip
aud one which has been in service
for some time had to be employed. On
this account the cars we're not carried at the
high speed at which they will travel behind
the royal blue engines. Nevertheless they
were put TO good test which demonstrated
that the blue train has been so constructed
as TO ride with the ease of pneumatic tire
on asphalt 1t was carried between the
junction and Pooler after the track had
been cleared at a rate of thirty-five to forty
miles per hour, and its motion was as
rhythmic as q poem, without jolt or jar.
As its name indicates, it is a blue train
inside and out. The parlor and first-class
cars are elegantly trimmed in deep blue
plush, and are as magnificently furnished
as any cars ever put on the road in this sec.
ton. In the parlor car is some elegant
handwork in painting, there being at each
end of the coach a representation of Bud
Doble in the sulky with his famous trotter
There was no occurrence in the trip to
mar any OF its pleasure for the party on
board, and when they arrived in Savannah
again yesterday afternoon at 80 O'Clock
the universal verdict was that the ROYAL
blue train was not only the most magnifi-
cent train OF its kind in the south, but that
1t was as comfortable and luxurious as
could be desired.
The train which leaves the city on Tues
day morning next will go behind a royal
blue Nancy Hanks engine, and a photograph
of the entire train will be taken before
leaving.
Another short run was made up the road
last night TO test the gas appliances used in
the train, which we're found in perfect CON
dition. The royal blue will be put on the
side track in the cotton yard Just north of
the passenger depot this morning at O'Clock
where ali who have desire to do so may
examine her.

Mrs. HsRood Of ssvsanah Receives 9
! Telegram From tne Chicago Wife.
| From the various kilograms that have
passed between Mrs. Mary Hagood OF
/ Savannah and the end Of the HagoOd family
now in Charleston awaiting the action Of
the courts IN the case against the man Of
many wives, it is evident that the claims of
| the Savannah wife are recognized.
Nothing was known of s1agoOd's Savan-
nah wife in Charleston until the MORNING
News reached that city with the story a
day or two ago, and since then the Charles
ton police have been further notified of the
fact by a telegram from Mrs. Hagood of
Savannah requesting them to hold Hagood
and notify her when she should come to
Charleston to prosecute her claims.
THE CHICAGO WIFE ADMITS IT.
There is little probability, however, of
Hagood's escaping, as he is IN the clutches
OF the Charleston authorities, and when
Mrs. Hagood read the dispatch in the MORN
ING NEWS, in which Beaudrot stated that
he would either have Hagood put IN Jail or
kill him, Mrs. Hagood remarked
lied better do one or the other. That
man is smooth rascal, Tor l know him,
and if be ever gets shadow Of a chance
he's gonen
Mrs Mary Hagood received a telegram
from Charleston yesterday which read;
Mrs. Mary N. HGO3od, Savannah. Ga:
II you press the suit against Gus will never
help you BELLE.
1t will be remembered that Belle is the
maiden name of Hagood's Chicago wife,
who still remains faithful to him, although
she comes No. 3 on the list, and says she
will see him safely out of the difficulty.
HAS NEVER HELPED HER.
When Mrs. Hagood read this she re-
marked:
she has never helped me anyhow, in
any way, 1t is foolish for her to talk of
helping me, as she has never 80 much as at
tempted TO do so, Rnd yet she has known all
the time that l was HE lawful wife"
Mrs. Hagoods answer to the Chicago
wife was very brief and was sent care the
Charleston police. 1t merely said; my
lawyer will answer this
WHAT MRS. HAGooD SAYS.
II shall go to Charleston as soon as sent
for" said Mrs. Hsgood yesterday, ''or at
any rate as soon as advised to do so by my
lawyer. | shall see Solicitor General Fraser
tomorrow and get him to take charge Of
the case, and / shall follow his advice in the
matter.
81 have been wanting this to turn up for
q long time, and l knew il would come
eventually. l could not begin the prosecu-
ton Of the care, because / knew Hagood
had money at his command and l had none.
He has often told me that it would do me
no good to attempt to prosecute him, as he
had plenty Of money and could bride any

and when he threatened me in that way |

this would turn up at some time and have
just been waiting my chance.
81 don't know how Belle can love a man
like that. hate him. He has never yet

THOUGHT He WAS A PREACHER
Supt. Epperson Has Queer Expert
ence at Perry.

S1C0 bb cry
From the Macon Ca Telegraph
Every one acquainted with Supt. Epper-
son Of the Southwestern railroad knows
that while he is one of the best men In the
world he is not by any means a
preacher, but by a strange coincidence and
clear case Of mistaken identity he was
taken for one the other day while on a visit
to Perry.
1t seems that Mr.. Epperson had never
visited Perry, but being DESTROYS of getting
acquainted with the railroad agents and
leading citizens in every town on the line OF
road under his supervision thought that he
would run down to the capital Of Houston
in quiet way and make himself known,
SO, without notifying soul in the place
that be was coming, be boarded the train
and IN short while was at his destination
just as Mr.. Epperson stepped from the
train and as he was in the act of inquiring
his way to the hotel a gentleman ap-
preached him with outstretohed hand and
asked IL 1t was Mr.. EppeTsou. The super
intendent was somewhat astonished at be-
ing Recognized, seeing that the man was a
total stronger but replied in the affirma-
tive. The man then introduced himself
and informed him that he was one of a
committee that had been appointed to meet
him and escort him to the parsonage This
person, but before he could recover from
his surprise the gentleman had taken him
by the arm and escorted him into the watt
ing room, where he was introduced to a
large asSemblage of ladies and gentlemen.
This last act puzzled the superintendent
still more, and when they all began to ad-
dress him as Brother Epperson, he lost con-
troll OF himself and could not utter a word.
Finally, however. one of the party sug-
gested that they might as we'll go on to the
parsonage, not forgetting to mention inoi-
dentally that they had filed the larder with
bountiful supply OF provisions and that
some of the ladies had prepared sumptu-
Gus feast for him with their own hands
Mr.. Epperson is nothing if not gallant,
and just as he was in the middle of a neat
little speech, In which be was returning
thanks to the ladies for being 30 thoughtful,
another gentleman walked in and intro
duced himself as Rev. Mr. EDperson. Those
present were at first inclined to look upon
the newcomer as an impostor, but Supt.
Epperson grasped the situation and lost no
time ID explaining who he was.
Those present, when fully convinced the
late arrival was the man they we're looking
for, had good laugh over the mistake, and
Supt. EpQerson made more friends in the
short space of one hour than could have
been made in months had it not been for
the mistake.

company so many Of his ways, has permitted
the removal from our midst by death, of our
beloved fellow member. and for some time exc

as ne was developing into the strength and
nobility of young manhood; let it be

that In the death of our lamented friend we
have lost one Of our most earnest and Jealous
members, and the cause Of Christ on earth, a
most devoted and consecrated advocate.
Resolved, That whilst we submit with humil-
ity to permissive decree that we cannot IN
derstand, and though we recognize that an
unerrng providence has allowed this severance
OF the spirit from the mortal body, only that
that immortal soul can serve him in a higher
and nobler sphere, yet. Notwithstanding, we re-
gard 1t SAD and Rrevous duty to chronicle
this memorial of his death.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of this association upon a
