for granted that this strong party man
is now back number, and that his politi-
cal career is about ended. There could
not be greater misapprehension. 1t is
established that the governor will work

The Savannah, Florida and Western
railway did good fourth of July excur-
cursion business yesterday and day be-
fore. Tuesday night train from Jack
sonyille and other Florida points, having
ABOUT 600 people on board, passed through
the city ON the way to Charleston.
Nearly as many were brought from jack

Florida to this city, and about 300 people
came up on the excursion from
Thomasville and other points in

Peninsular road also had large excursions
from Florida points, bringing up 400 or
500 people. and almost as many came
down from Columbia and Carolina
points. Altogether the day was one for
the eXcurslonists and there was a good

A KNIFE IN HIS LUNG.
Joseph Turbeville Stabbed by Peter
Richardson.


Joseph r. Turboville was seriously
stabbed by Peter c. Richardson about $
o'clock last night The difficulty occurred
in front of Richardson's boarding house
at Congress and Montgomery streets.
Turbeville had room near by, and had
been taking his meals at the boarding
house He had been drinking, it seems,
and went to the house for supper. He
created some disturbance in the kitchen,
and was ordered out by Richardson. The
two men had some words, and when Tur-
bevllle came out of the house Richardson
followed him out on the sidewalk
There are two stories as TO what fol-
lowed. One story is to the effect that
Richardson cursed Iurbeyille, who then
struck him knocking him down; that the
two then grappled and fell upon the side
walk, Turbeville on top Richardson
rolled him over, however, and began stab b.
bing him with his pocketknife. The
other story is TO the effect that when
Richardson followed Turbeviue out on
the street the latter turned to him and
exclaimed TO Richardson that he was a
much older man than he (Turbeville) but
he would not allow him to follow him on
the street. After some further words
the men grappled each other and fell as
described Richardson. according to all
reports, used his knife very savagely.
Turbevile received five stabs in the
back and one in the arm. DR.. r. c. Nor
ton who was called TO attend the
wounded man, found that one Of the stabs
had penetrated the right lung The
wound was in the lower part of the lung,
however and DR.. Norton said that he did
not expect il to result fatally Turbeville
was taken to his room near by. He was
reported resting easily at / / O'Clock
Policeman McCool, who was on duty in
the neighhorhood, heard of the difficulty
and arrested Richardson shortly after
the difficulty concluded. Richardson
spent the night at the barracks, where
he is held on the charge of assault with
intent to murder

A MoToRMAN STABBED.
A Row on a West Broad Street Car
Ends in a CnffinR


Ends in a Cutting.
W. W. Williams, a motorman on the
City and Suburban street railway was
badly cut yesterday afternoon shortly at
ter . o'clock, as is supposed by julius
Bieber, near Henry and West Broad
streets.
Up 10 this time the Fourth had been
comparatively quiet and the police had
made only one or two insignificant ar
rests II was believed that the day
would pass Of without any serious casu-
alities, but if 1t had it would not have
been the Fourth.
According 10 the mOtorman's story, it
seems that Bieber. with Henry Dreeson
and another party, had Just come out Of
Henry Garwes place as the canvas pass
ing and sigualed it to stop. The car
went some distance beyond the crossing,
as, the motorman says. he did not sec
them or the conductor did not ring in
time for him 10 stop nearer to il.
When the men got on the car he says
they began 10 find fault with the cOnduc-
tor for not stopping in the right place.
They were told that the car was stopped
as soon as possible when it was known
they wanted to get on. S. 5. Horton the
conductor, says the matter was carried
so far that he struck one of the men,
Nueu TWO OF Lu6m jumped on MIN. u
was then that Williams took a hand, and
went back 10 aid the conductor in his
difficulty.
Williams says he went to relieve the
conductor by taking charge of one Of the
men himself, when Bieber turned on him
aud cut him Williams had one bad cash
across the neck and two on the front Of
his head He was taken into the Office OF
DR.. Jennings, on Montgomery street,
where his wounds were dressed, and an
effort was made to have him go TO the
hospital, but he insisted on going TO his
home at Second and DraytOn streets.
While his wounds are bad, they are not
necessarily dangerous, and it is believed
he will recover in a short time.
Mr.. Dreeson went TO the barracks and
gave himself up, and Bieber followed
soon after. Both were released on bail
According to the story they merely asked
the conductor why he did not stop in the
right place, words followed and the row
was started. MIR Dreeson was taken
away by some Of his friends Just as VIII
liams came to the back of the car with
his brake handle Mr. Dreesou says
Williams attempted to strike him with
the motor crank and had a knife drawn
at the same time. Williams says Bieber
did the cutting. Neither Mr.. DreesOn
nor Mr.. Garwes saw it, however.

AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
One of the Souths Most Popular
Schools-The Work 1t Is Doing.

Scholastic Work 1t Is Doing.
The next session of this noted boarding
and day school for young ladies, com
mences on Sept. 5, next.
Already applications for catalogues are
being received, and the promise is of an
other prosperous year.
The past year has been one of wide
spread financial depression, but notwith-
standing this fact, the institute has had a
prosperous year
No school in the south has enjoyed more
constant and brilliant success than the
Agnes Scott, and the causes of this sue
cess are evident.
l. Its location in North Georgia is I'M
rivaled; the local surroundings are ideal
Decatur having long been noted for its re-
fined, educated and religious society
2. a large and accomplished corps of
trained and experienced teachers, each
member of the faculty having been Sc
lected for his or her character and special
qualifications for the chair occupied
B. Thorough work. The utmost effort
Is made to do thorough teaching, and no
careless or antiquated methods are used.
None of the officers or teachers have any
financial interest in the management of
the institute, and each teacher is able to
give her or his entire time and undivided
and disinterested attention to the work of
instructing. Pupils not making satisfac-
tory progress, or not improving their
time, are not allowed to waste the money
of parents by further attendance.
The curriculum is already high. 1t is
rigidly pursued, and is being steadily ad-
vanced as the school grows in years. 1t
Is the desire and aim of trustees and fac
ulty to place the Agnes Scott as the
leader in elevating the standard OF te-
male education in the south.
The special departments, as music and
art, are well equipped and under charge
OF skilled specialists, are fully breast of
the times and the best schools.
