WILL IT BE TAKEN OFF?
A Report that the Nancy Hanks Is
Going to Be Removed.

It Is Said to Have Drawn so Largely
from the Other Trains that 1t Has
Not Proved Remunerative-The Re-
organization Committee Made a
Complaint of Mr.. Wadley's Extrava-
giant Expenditures in Connection
With 1t.
There is possibility that the Central S
far-famed blue flyer, the famous "Nancy
| Hanks" may soon be thing of the past.
The foundation for this report is the
| statement of a well-known railroad man,
who said yesterday that the Nancy
Hanks" train would be taken off within a
weeks time
at is a well known fact" he said "that
the reorganization committee found a
great deal of fault with some expendi-
lures on the part Of General Superintend-
ent Wadley and this was one of them
This they claimed was one cause which OPP
Grated to some extent against the success
of the plan. There was also a good deal
Of talk about the large amount of money
spent on the tunnel which caught fire
some time ago on the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus road. These are only two
well known instances but there were
others that were complained of.
TO LEAVE BUT TWO TRAINS.
"This talk has to a great ex-
Tent had its effect, and !
am not talking in the dark, when
l predict that within a week. or perhaps
little longer. the removal of the Nancy
Hanks train will leave only two trains a
day between Savannah and Atlanta
The Nancy Hanks was put on as an
extra train, and it is run at a heavy ex-
pense While it is true that it may make
its ewn expenses, it has drawn so
heavily from the business of the other
trains and especially of the night train,
which used to carry most of the through
| passengers. that it has proven a losing
scheme. 1t is admitted by every one
that this train has drawn heavily from
the other two in fact so much so that
the bulk of the business on those two
trains is almost entirely local.
'"The Nancy Hanks is good train and
our people will all regret very much to see
it removed, but the fact is, it is so far
ahead of everything else in this country
that under the circumstances it don't pay
to run it. However, you can put IL down
as tell you, it will not be more than a
week or ten days before she is taken off -
Everybody who travels win regret TO
learn that this is probability of the near
future. The train has been a source of
great benefit to the travelling public, and
they have been as proud it as the officials
of the road.
General Superintendent Kline, how
ever, denies the report and says that no
| changes are contemplated, either in the
trains or the operating department of the
| road.

THE FIFTH DISTRICT MEETS.
Justice Sheftall Begins Taking Testi-
mony in the Election Contest.

AAACGg IL VIZ A&ASSeAcA 0C4AbIots
Justice Thomas j. Sheftall began TAX
ing testimony in the Fifth district magis-
terial election contest yesterday. Five of
the forty odd witnesses summoned were
examined. Sam Black, one of the defeated
candidates, contested the election on the
ground of illegal voting.
The investigation began yesterday
morning at the Office where the election
was held on the Thunderbolt road. Frank
Quinley, Sam Black V. @. Basler and
II. J. Winkers were the witnesses exam
ined. The charge is that twenty odd
men voted Illegally at the election, and
a number of legal voters were debarred
the privilege. Quinley testified that he
is not a resident Of the district and did
not vote.
Basler swore that he is a resident of
the district but was too drunk TO know
whether he voted or not.
Mcintosh and Black both testified that
man named Weaver was allowed to vote
after the polls closed.
Winkers testified that he is a resident
of the district and was not allowed to
vote.
Simmons, colored, while a registered
voter and living in the district for q
years, offered his vote and it was refused.
After hearing the testimony for about
an hour, Justice Sheftall adjourned the
investigation until Aug Z, when it win,
in all likelihood, be concluded.

The Nancy Hanks Tobacco.

The handsome samples of that new and
elegant brand of tobacco, Nancy
Hanks, are now being exhibited to the
trade by Mr.. p. Okeeffe, the representa-
tive of the factory. For excellence of
material, fine appearance and good chew
ing qualities, the Nancy Hanks tobacco
is like its famous namesake, the Central's
fast flyer, unexcelled. The Royal Blue
Nancy Hanks Is an appropriate name for
this high grade tobacco, and the trade
will soon realize that it will make a great
record as the fastest seller yet intro
duced. Messrs Lee Roy Myers & Co.
will handle the Nancy Hanks throughout
their extensive territory. The manufac-
turers, Bendall, Harvey & Co, Danville,
Va, have earned a high reputation for
the various brands of tobacco manufac-
tured by them, and the Nancy Hanks
promises to be the great favorite of this
section.

NO BLOOD SPILLED.
But Bu tchers Knives Said to Have
Been Used.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
1t was reported on the street that
a bloody battle had occurred this
morning in Farrow's meat market
in the Vasaly block on Broadway in
which butcher knives and other Wea-
pons were freely used, but the most
powerful microsco ope known to mod
ern science would fail in revealing
any blood that was spilled.
Robert Robertson, who swOre out
a warrant for the arrest of Louis
Vasaly says that the latter attacked
him with Il butcher knife y inches
long but that he was not injured, as
he warded off the blow. He says
Mr.. Vasaly had a chattel mortgage
on the tools used in the market and
since he and Mr. Farrow could not
agree on the amount due him, he
came in to take the tools under the
mortgage, but that some of the tools
did not belong to FarrOw but to
himself, and to Mr.. Vasaly taking
these he made objection.
Mr.. Vasaly says Robertson raised
a saw to strike him, but was unsuc-
cessful In regard to Robertson's
charge that he, Vasaly, used a butch
er knife he says he only took it to
take possession of it and not with
the intention ofstriking. Heshowed
his chattel mortgage and said he
was taking the tools in accordance
with it's provisions.
Vasaly is under arrest for assault
and the case is to be called at ? p. m.
but cannot he tried today ON account
of the funeral. The county attorney
is for the complainant and F. A.
Lindbergh for Mr.. Vasaly.

The Sauk Centre Avalanche gives
the following account OF the death of
J. L. Mullen, one of the volunteer
fireman of that place: The fire com
papies have been devOting much
time of late during the evening in get
ting in trim for series OF OfeXhibitiOns
for July Fourth, and on Friday even
ing last all the companies were out
as usual, and at about $50 O'Clock
finished their practice and started for
the hose house. The Acme's, OF which
"Let' was member was the last
one to reel up their hose and start
for the hose house. Thos. NJ. Muir
phey, captain of the company, gave
an order for the boys to make the
best run they could for the house,
and they started. Mr.. Mullen was
on the rope of the cart, and the third
man from the cart. The boys had
Just passed the hay scales at Mr.. kel-
lers when Mullen was seen to tumble
and before anyone had time to real
ize his situation the heavy wheels OF
of the cart struck him, and passed
over his chest, crushing out his life
and with the reflex action Of his
muscles, he raised himself partly on
his feet, and fell backward into Tom
Murphcy 's-a corpse.
He was quickly taken to Hansan &
EmersOn's drug store: medical aid
was summoned: but the spark Of life
was exit; the spirit had fled to its
maker.
Just what caused his death will
probably never be known. He had
been practicing with energy during
the evening and had scaled the lad
ders helping to carry up line OF hose
two different times. This, to a per-
son unused to such fea ts, w ould natu
rally exhaust him, and add to this
the run that was make, was suppOs
ed to have caused him to become
prOstrated and to have physically
collapsed.

No Needless improvements.

The decision Of the council last
evening to postpone the laying of
the Second street sewer was justifie
in review Of the small use made OF
the sewers already constructed in the
city. Property owners who last
year petitioned for the
laying of the sewer have generally
refused to connect With them, even
after having been ordered to by the
board OF health. Theboard OF health
made very thorough examination
OF the city this spring, and made
rules for the sanitary improvement
OF the city that should have been
strictly enforced. Inthe outskirts OF
the city and in the resident portions
they were obeyed, but in the business
center some of the most important
ones have been entirely ignored.
Several property owners in the busi-
ness centre were ordered to make
sewer connections and destroy out
houses, but not one of them have
done so. The city authorities have
done their duty so far as making reg
ulations, providing facilities, but the
property owners have refused to
comply. They should be made to do
50 at once. The board of health has
power to enforce it's orders, and
while prompt obedience was expect
ed and it is disagreeable to apply
the force of the law, it is the only
course left. The general public will
approve it, and the situation de-
mands it. The delay in making the
sewer assessments last fall gives all
property owners another year in
which to pay their sewer assessments
and they cannot claim that it is a
hardship to pay for the connections
this year. Every privy, Clubhouse
and vault on lots fronting the rivers
should be destroyed before another
foot OF sewer is laid in the city The
council is evidently willing to make
necessary improvements, but is sjustifi
in refusing to make further needless
ones.
