accident. Nobody was hurt, but more

The water had subsidized from the track
and number of the excursionists started
TO walk into the city when they were met
by the relief train going to their rescue.
When the train reached the washout
the transfer was quickly made. Every
body was anxious to get home and
there was rush for the cars. 1t was the
work of short time to land the crowd in
the city. Except for the discomfort of
the night, shut up in the cars, the excur-
sionists took their Imprisonment good
naturally. Engineer Mccarthy was
warmly applauded for the care

train safely through from the
island and the Judgment which prompted
him to stop his train and investigate the
condition of the track before he ap-
preached the dangerous stretch this side
of st. Augustine creek, failure to have
done which would have plunged the train
into the marsh and might have cost hun
dreds of lives. His perilous trip along
the Overf1Owed and washed track was
commended in terms of Inquest praise
Supt. McNeely, who had been on the
ground for several hours, gave every at
tent1on to the comfort of the belated ex-
cursiOnists and landed them in town as
soon as it was possible TO get a train to their
rescue. The MORNING News extra, which
was ON the streets in less than an hour
after the arrival of the relief train, gave
the full particulars of the accident and the
incidents of the imprisoned excursionists.
The washouts were not repaired until
last night, although a wrecking force
was kept at work all day The passen-
gers from Tybee were transferred at the
break to the trains which went down
from the city and the passengers for the
island vice versa. BY this means the
regular schedule was kept up until the
2:55 o'clock train ran off
the track on McQueen's Is
land at the small washout. a couple
of hours were consumed in getting the
train back on the rails, and in consequence
the 80 o'clock train from the city did
not go out. To-day, however, everything

A Drunken Woman Strikes a Little

Ellen Mccormick, a drunken white
woman, ran amuck on Henry and Dray-

corner of Henry and Drayton she picked
up a heavy monkey wrench from a
wagon and struck little
child of Mr.. John J. Morris of
No. S01S Anderson street on the head
cutting a deep cash and nearly fracturing
the skull, and was aiming a second blow
when she started to run.
The child was in its carriage and I'M

the assault and that the woman was
likely TO kill the child, started after her
After chasing her through Drayton and

captured. She attempted to fight Mr.
Mitchell, but was held until the patrol
wagon arrived, when she was taken to
the barracks and locked up The little
child was seriously injured.
The woman has been a nuisance in the

There VIII Be No Removal Of Repub-
liean Office Holders Here, He Thinks,
Unless Serious Charges Can Be
Made and Proved-The Congressman
Thinks the Sherman Law VIII Be
Modified.
Congressman Lester returned yester-
day from Washington, where he went TO
try and hurry the officials there in the
matter Of Savannah's public building.

that work viii be commenced on our
building as soon as on any other. intact,
think the work here will be commenced
first. The plans and specifications will
be prepared shortly, and after this there
will be no further delay,
"There was no truth, - said Congress-
man Lester, "in the story that ! went to
Washington to have changes made in the
custom house and postofice here, but Of
course while at the capital incidentally
talked over these offices. do not think
President Cleveland will remove the
present officials until their terms expire
unless charges of mismanagement or
otherwise, which can be substantiated,
are brought against them. The same
rule will apply to the presidential offices
in the First district.
''What about the charges filed against
Postmaster Doyle2"
Il heard Of them" replied Congress
man Lester "but ! do not know what is
being done in the matter. do not think
an investigation has yet been ordered.
1.-The most absorbing topic in Washing
ton yet is of1ice-seeking. It still over
shadows everything else, and with the
collapse of the pension Office holds pub
lie attention beyond everything else The
financial question, of course, comes in for
its share I think the general sentiment
of the democrats in Washington is for the
modification of the Sherman law, although
Just what that modification will
be is the pulling question. Nearly every
congressman has his own ideas and when
they get together at the next session the
different ideas will likely be merged into
a common basis and a modification Of the
law agreed upon which will relieve the
financial stringency and restore confidence
in the cOuntry's currency. President
Cleveland favors the repeal of the la w
altogether and the settlement of the
money question on n bimetallic basis, but
! think his principal object just now is to
have that part Of the Sherman act cover

that President Cleveland will call con-
Rress together in September OF course

A Lot of Candy and Cotton Seems to

A most peculiar case of what is sup
posed to be spontaneous combustion oc-
Cured in the Southern express office
yesterday
A negro named Carter brought in q box
of merchandise consigned to Robert Will
Jams of Midwife. The package was set
in the corner among a number of others
and very little attention was paid to it,
until suddenly a muffied explosion was
heard and when this box was discovered
it was burning at such a lively rate that
it took quick work to save the
other packages from being dam
aged. AS it was several other boxes and
packages were scorched badly and the
tags were burned off several jugs.
The box was showed out into the street
where it was almost entirely consumed,
and was found to contain nothing but
candy packed in cotton. How the explo-
sion and the combustion was caused is
a mystery to all who were in the office,
but it is, perhaps, good thing that it oc-
Cured then instead of on the train in a
draught, as the substance was very inaam-
mable and burned like dry finder.

IN POSSESSION OF THE ROAD.
Marshal Leverett Has Taken Charge
of the B. and A.

Marshal Leverett Has Taken Charge
of the B. and A.
United States Marshal Frank Leverett
returned yesterday from Pidcocl1, where
he went to take possession of the Boston
and Albany railroad, of which he was
recently appointed temporary receiver by
Judge Speer.
The road had been operated in connec-
ton with the Quitman Lumber Company,
for which M. A. Millette was some time
ago appointed temporary receiver by the
superior court of Brooks county. 1t was
expected that Receiver Leverett would
meet with some difficulty in obtaining
possession Of the road, but when he ar
rived he simply made a demand
on those in charge to turn
over the property to him under instruc-
tions from court and after brief consulta-
ton he was given full charge
Receiver Leverett took trip over the
road and found that it ran through a sec
ton which contributed large amount of
freight, such as watermefons, naval stores
and lumber. He found several carloads
of freight on the track ready to be moved,
and came to the conclusion that the road,
If properly managed, could be made
paying piece of property. He appointed
Mr.. Robert Mclean as his agent and
ordered every account to be rendered
strictly to him. The road is thirty-one
miles in length and runs through rich
section of country.
Marshal Leverett says it is a fact that
preparations will have to be made for
seating 200 to 300 lawyers in the court
room here on June 26. Heis going to get
an order from Judge Speer to obtain
enough chairs outside to supply all of
them with seats.

WHAT TIE STORM prp.


The storm which finished It's work In
this section yesterday morning was the
most severe that has been seen In this
section since 1851.
1t began in the gulf and moved gTadu-
ally uortheastward, until on Thursday
night il struck Southern Georgia with
the results already known OF damage 10
crops and blowing down trees and things
In general The storm moved over into
South Carolina. north Of Charleston, and
last night WAS blowing "a gale of the
North Carolina coast, adding, probably,
10 the general rOughness Of the sea around
Cape Hatteras.
The local rainfall amounted TO 157
inches Thursday night. So inches of
which fell between 1890 O'Clock p. m.
Thursday and 1 o'clock a. m. Friday.
The maximum velocity Of the vino at Sa-
vannah was thirty-six miles per hour,
with an extreme velocity of forty miles,
while on Tybee the wind attained the
enormous velocity of sixty-two miles per
hour. At Charleston 4.40 inches of rain
fell during the twenty-four hours ending
at O'Clock a. m. yesterday, and the rain
fall was generally heavy in the cotton
belt. The forecast predicts showers for
Savannah and vicinity to-day.
The damage done by the wind in Savan-
nah was small, and beyond the blowing
down of few trees no destruction of
property has been reported. Fortunately
the tide was not at its hight during the
heaviest gale or the water might have
been blown up over the wharyes.
During the storm the bark Ormus,
which was moored across the river at
Kinsey's mills, pulled up one of her moor
ing posts and parted her stern lines, foul
ing the barge Florida, but without doing
the latter any material damage The
Ormus then brought up in the mud be-
tween the Florida and Kinsey's mill. She
was then secured by the Waterman at
the mill and the barge man.
Although the wind blew gale at Tybee
for three hours no damage was done on
the island. The residents there did not
feel the effects of the wind as much as it
Nas felt in the city

FIGHTING A CONVICT.
Detective Bossell's Desperate Strug-
gle With Albert Holmes.

gle With Albert Holmes.
Detective Bossell had an experience
with an escaped convict yesterday morn
ing which he does not care to repeat. 1t
was the liveliest fight he has had since
his connection with the police depart
ment
Detective Bossell received information
that Albert Holmes, alias Jockey" a
notorious negro who has succeeded in es-
Gaping from the chain-gang three times
within year, was hidden in house on
New street, near Guerard lane. He went
to the place and knocked at the door with
out securing response. Then the de-
tective forced the lock-
The moment he stepped into the room
Holmes grabbed him and hauled him on a
bed. Detective Bossell rolled out on the
opposite side, but as he raised up Holmes
knocked him down again. He Erappled
with the desperate negro and for few
minutes the detective and prisoner rolled
over the floor locked in each others EN-
brace. Holmes bit him on the arm and
he retaliated by getting out his billy and
whacking the Negroes head.
The blows had no effect, however, and
the fight waxed warm and furious
Holmes swore he would die before sub
hitting to arrest, and the detective was
as equally determined to arrest him. Both
regained their feet and fought standing
for awhile. Then they went down on the
bed together, and next were rolling over
the floor. Detective Bossell was using
his club, and Holmes was using his fists
and mouth.
Finally, in the struggle Holmes felt the
detectives pistol, and he made strenuous
efforts to get the weapon. About this
time Willie Stevenson and Leander
Mcbride, both colOred, attracted by the
noise of the fight, rushed into the house.
As they arrived Detective Bossell thought
Holmes had got hold Of his pistol and he
called to Stevenson to shoot the convict.
Stevenson fired two shots, but they
went wide of Holmes and nearly struck
Detective Bossell. Stevenson then rushed
in and with the butt of his revolver ham
mered Holmes on the head until he fell.
Even after getting him on the floor the
combined strength of Detective Bossell,
Stevenson and Mcbride was required to
subdue him and get the handouts on his
wrists
After the fight Holmes head presented
sorry spectacle from the effects of De-
tective Bossellis billy and Stevenson's
pistol. 1t looked as if it had been used as
q battering ram and streams of blood ran
down over the negroes face and shoulders
Still he was game and told Detective BOs-
sell that he had lots of fight in him still.
You got me this time" he remarked,
but I'll escape from the gang again, and
when do I'll kill you on sight"
Detective Bossell was in bad shape
last night. He was lame in both legs and
suffering considerable pain from the bites
which Holmes inflicted on different parts
of his body. Judge MacDonell will have
Holmes before him to-day and he will
likely add few years to his original
sentence
