WEATHER SYNOPSIS.

A storm centers north of the lake
region, a second depression is moving in
from the extreme northwest, and a third
depression, of considerable energy, cen
tiers in the southwest. The latter is
causing brisk to high winds along the
Texas coast.
An area Of high pressure covers the
South Atlantic states and Florida, but 1t
is being rapidly dissipated by the general
drift OF the depressiOns from the west
toward the Atlantic. During the past
twentyfour hours the pressure has de-
clined in all sections east of the l03d
meridian.
The temperature has remained about
stationary in the Ohio valley, through
out the lake region, in the Upper Missis-
s1ppi valley, and west OF the Mississippi,
north of Kansas and Missouri; elsewhere
it is warm, the rise in temperature being
most decided in the South Atlantic and
East Gulf states.
At O'Clock tonight clear weather pre-
vailed in Southeastern North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Middle
Alabama, in the upper Michigan PENN
sula, throughout the upper Mississippi
valley, and west of the Mississippi north
of the Both parallel. Elsewhere cloudi-
ness was reported, with rain falling at
Buffalo. Pittsburg, Detroit, throughout
Tennessee, and in Western Arkansas.
The maximum temperature at Savan-
nah to-day was 65' and the minimum
360, the mean temperature being so. or 50
below the normal, reducing the excessive
temperature since Jan. l, 1894, to 60.

An Electric Railway Conductor
Stabbed and May Die.


Stabbed and May Die.
a knife, pistol and motorman's con-
troller figured in a stabbing affair, the
sequel to which came in the police court
before Recorder Wilson yesterday morn
ing.
Tuesday afternoon Clayton Goodman,
Charles Pacetti and Paul Perdue, three
young white men, boarded an Electric
Railway car, as it passed the steps on
which they were sitting and upon enter
ing the car one of the party told the mo-
torman that he would keep his chum
quiet, although it was noticeable the
chum was about "three sheets to wind
ward"
When the switch near Price and
Broughton streets was reached the car was
stopped and the motorman got off to ex-
anime the journal. While doing so Pa
cetti began guying him. One word led to
another until Perdue, Goodman and Con-
ductor Muckenfuss joined in. Goodman
claimed that the conductor had knife,
and in selfdefense began using his own.
Pacetti covered the conductors friends
ously pointed at the motorman's head to
make him drop the controller, which he
claimed he had.
In the meantime, Goodman and Muck
enfuss were having set-to during which
Goodman stabbed the conductor Just be
low the heart. The wounded man was
taken to his home and medical assistance
was called. The cuts are of a serious
nature, and might prove fatal should in
fiammatiOn set in.
The three men arrested, Perdue, Pa
cetti and Goodman, testified that only
one of the party was drunk, but the evil
dence brought out at the trial was to the
contrary, and the general supposition was
that the trio had been drinking too much.
Recorder Wilson fined them $40 each
for disorderly conduct, and turned Good
man over to the superior court to answer
to the charge of assault with intent to
murder Goodman was represented by
S. B. Adams Esq, and later in the day
was released on bail.
