The accident occurred at the Bolton
steet crossing of Waters road. A number
of children were playing along the track.
Just before the car reached the crossing
the Smith child started across in front of
1t. The motoman saw that il was almost
impossible to avoid running over her but
he reversed his motor in time to save her
from going under the wheels, but the
pilot of the car struck her in the head
cutting a deep cash and producing CON
cussion of The brain from which death re-
suited.
The accident was an unavoidable one
on the part Of the motorman. AS soon as
he saw the child start across the track he
reversed the motor with such force that
passengers were thrown from their seats.
The car bounded back almost as if Il
had struck an obstruction. 1t was the
motorman's prompt action that saved the
car from going over the child. The re-
Versal was so sudden that the fuses in the
motor were burned out. The child was
picked mp and taken to her home
which was about 200 yards from the
point where the accident occurred, and
the Coast Line Office was telephoned of
the accident and DR.. w. E. Norton was
sent out to attend the child. DR.. Snelson.
colored, had arrived in the meantime and
dressed the wound. 1t was seen at once
that the injury was fatal a small but
deep hole cut in the head over the eye,
touching the brain. Passengers on the
car who saw the accident say that it
could not have been avoided by the motor
man. The child ran directly in front of
the car. The car was in charge of Con-
ductor Barbee and Motorman Paul Tres

FOR LARCENY AFTER TRUST.
The Agent Of the Southern Pants Com
pany in Jail.

The Agent of the Southern Pants Com
pany in Jail.
c. a. Leiding was committed to Jail
yesterday in default of bail on d warrant
issued from the court Of Justice Naugh-
tin by T. \. Lord, secretary and treas
urer Of the Southern Three-Dollar Pants
company, charging Leiding with larceny
after a trust delegated.
Leidlng has for some time been the
agent of this company here the store Of
which is located on Congress street, near
Whitaker Recently some one sent a tele-
gram TO Mr. Lord telling him that he had
better come over to Savannah and look
out for his interests. It seems that Agent
Leiding got on TO the fact that some
thing was about to happen, and he made
arrangements to get out. He left the
city, 1t IS said, on last Wednesday, after
having shipped his bicycle and some
other things on ahead Of him TO Mont
gomery, Ala.
When Mr.. Lord reached Savannah he
made an investigation and found out that
considerable of the Companys funds had
disappeared. He came to the conclusion
from the evidence in hand that they had
been appropriated by the agent, and he
found that between $500 and $500 had
been taken in for goods sold and other
work done He at once swore out a war
rant charging Leiding with larceny after
trust, and located him at Montgomery
from the fact that the agent had shipped
his effects on ahead of him a telegram
was sent to the chief of police there and
Leiding's arrest followed He was
brought back yesterday morning, and,
being unable to give bond, he was sent
to Jail.
The company is represented by Messrs.
Seabrook and Morgan. Its headquarters
are in Charleston, S. c. Mr.. W. II. Mot
ter has been appointed the company's
agent at this place in place of Leiuing.

Seven box cars containing 220 menu

were hauled into Fort Sydney last
night and placed under guard at the
abandoned military barracks, where
they will be held as prisoners until the

They were in a most pitiable condi-

a very wholesome contempt for all san

They expressed great indignation at
being taken to the fort, as they were
expecting to be brought at once to
Omaha.
They were quartered in the barracks

EARLIEST AMERICAN COINS.
Queer Substitutes for Money in Va
rious Countries.


rious Countries.
The collection of coins, or more ex-
actly speaking, the articles which have
passed for money in different countries
and in different ages of the world, at
the National museum is a. very complete
one and we'll repays one for a visit.
The earliest American coins are be-
lieved to have been those made by
Cortez, by permission of the Spanish
government, and were issued about the
time of the death of Columbus, which
occurred in 1906. They are of copper,
and on one side is a. representation of
the f.Pillars of Hercules Next in point
of time comes the money for Bermuda,
which was minted in England. These
coins are of copper, of the value Of a
shilling and q sixpence and on one face
is the picture of a hog, hence it is
known as the "hog money" The early
settlers of these islands found so many
of these animals roaming about that
they used it to mark the coin. Only
one sixpence and two shilling pieces of
this money are believed to exist, and
both are owned in Boston. Among the
oddities of the collection is the knife
money" of the Chinese, used about the
commencement of the Christian era.
razor, about six inches long, and are of
copper, and worth about eight cents.
ring money is another curious vari-
ETY., which was used by the ancient
GaulS and Britons. In those days, as
there were no banks and safe deposit
companies, it was the fashion to carry
all ones wealth upon ones person.
The amount was wrought into orna-
ments of various designs, but of a fixed
standard weight, and were frequently
made in two or three parts, which could
be readily separated and used as
I change. But coins of the different
metals have not been the only articles
which have been used as money. Salt
moulded into bricks of a fixed size and
weight, is used in countries where this
necessity of life is hard to obtain and
far more valuable to the people than
any metal, no matter how precious.
| Tea, pressed into squares, is used very
| largely in Siberia and the price of this
commodity regulates the price of every
thing else. Tobacco was the money in
the Virginia colony and the New Eng
landers were so hard up for something
to use in exchange that corn, Goldfish
and peas served as a. medium Good
lead bullets paid many a. debt in revo-
lutionary times, though in a number OF
the colonies copper had been coined
The shells which are used as money by
the South Sea Islanders and in parts OF
Africa form an important exhibit al
the museum, and the study of the
money Of the world as represented
there gives an excellent idea of the de-
gree of civilization which nations have
attained.-Philadelph Ledger
