people IN the company and all of them
young and ambitious. The Wilmington

baton twirler, did his work in a marvellous
manner, and the singers all greatly
pleased the audience. Mr.. Howard Pow

TO FINISH THIS WEEK.
Marshal Wade viii Have the Stree
Rights-of-way Cleared.

Marshal Wade viii Have the Street
Rights-of-way Cleared.
City Marshal Wade will finish his work
of opening the rights-of-way for streets
which have been acquired by the city in
the southern section this week. The
marshal's work has consisted of moving
fences and buildings which INSTRUCTED
the rights-of-way, and cutting down
underbrush. The large oak trees on the
Seller property have not been cut down
as yet, and may be allowed to remain for
some time longer. AS the land is very
level in that section there is no grading
to be done except the filing uD of few
holes, which will be attended to by the
street and lane department.
Mayor MCDOnough will make a per-
sonal inspection of the streets in the sec
tlon south of Anderson street in company
with the city marshal in a day or two. 1t
is the intention of the mayor to have the
city proceed at once to acquire the right
of-way through the various pieces of
property which block the streets in the
southern section and prevent their being
opened their entire length.
If the owners will not agree to the
propositions made by the city, Mayor
McDonough says that the city will pro-
coed to corTemn the property and obtain
the rights of way in this manner. He is
determined to push the matter of street
opening until all the principal streets in
the southern section have been opened up.
The Glatigny tract is now the largest
tract, which prevents the opening of the
principal streets in the southern section.
This tract blocks a number of streets.
There is also a number of small parcels
of land owned by various parties which
block street intersections, and which the
city will proceed to acquire by condemna-
tion.

A MEDAL FOR DIR. GRAHAM.
Secretary Carlisle Awards Him and
Peter Dodge Life Saving Honors.

Secretary Carlisle Awards Him and
Peter Dodge Life Saving Honors.
DR.. J. B. Graham, at the quarantine
station, is about to be the recipient of
further honors in recognition of his
bravery and heroism in aiding in the
rescue of the crew of the British bark
Mary +. Chapman, which went ashore
and was wrecked on Stone Horse reef of
Tybee last February.
Secretary Carlisle has notified DIR.
Graham that he has been awarded a gold
medal for life saving for the heroism he
displayed in the rescue of the Inflated
sailors of the bark.
DR.. Graham's colored man, Peter
Dodge, who accompanied him in the boat
which went out from the tug Cynthia to
the stranded vessel, has been awarded a
silver medal for the part he took in the res
cue. The story Of the wreck of the Mary
d. Chapman and the rescue gifts crew and
the saving of the captain and his wife
and infant child has been given in the
MORNING NEWS.
About week ago DIR. Graham received
letter from Ottawa stating that the
Canadian government had taken recogni
tion Of MS conduct and that of Dodge for
the part they took in the rescue of the
crew Of the vessel
DR.. Graham, it is believed, is the only
recipient Of a gold hfe-saving medal at
the hands of Secretary Carlisle, except
Capt w. @. Lee, United States inspector
OF hulls, who has a record Of having
saved fourteen lives and was awarded the
first gold medal under the administration
of Secretary Carlisle a little more than a
year ago.
The gold medal for life-saving is ex-
ceedingly handsome. It's design is rich
and elaborate. The medal contains over
500 worth of gold, and with the work
manship that belongs to the execution of
the inscriptions and designs, it is a prize
that is in keeping with the high purpose
for which it is given.

DIR. HANDY IN TROUBLE.
Borrowed Money to Start a Drug
Store.

Store.
AS the result of business transaction.
DR.. Joseph D. Handy, a young physician
who moved from Wilmington, N. c., to
Savannah a little over year ago, is in
considerable trouble.
Sometime ago he decided to open a
drug store at Price and Hall streets in a
store which Policeman j. A. Christian
held as trust property for his wife and
children. The shelves were put in and
the store was ready for the reception of
the stock Failing to hear from friends
who, he thought, were going to aid him
he applied to Policeman Christian for a
loan, and borrowed about $3.50 with which
to purchase portion of his stock. He
was to have given a mortgage on the
stock as security.
The stock failed to materialize as
rapidly as Policeman Christian thought
it should, and the money not forthcoming
when he demanded it, he swore out a
warrant charging DIR. Handy with cheat
ing and swindling The warrant was
issued by Justice Naughtin and was
served by Detective Wstherhorn.
DR.. Handy gave bond and was to have
had a preliminary hearing yesterday
morning. This, however, he did not de-
sire, wishing to go right before the grand
jury. His bondsman Mr. George f.
King, refused to stand further security
and he was taken in charge again, but
Mr.. King finally agreed to become his
bondsman to the extent of $500, and DR..
Handy was released in the afternoon
The money has not yet been paid, and the
case has not been settled.
Sheriff w. f. Blois of the city court
served an attachment and levy on DR.
Handy during the day, and took charge
of the fixtures in the store at Price and
Hall streets. This was TO satisfy an ex-
ecution for judgment rendered in the city
court in favor Of j. G. Schwarz 1t is
probable that some attempt will be made
to settle the case.

THE COLONY IN HARD LUCK.

The Assyrian colony has been in very
hard luck lately. Thomas Saad, who was
attacked with Ratchet and nearly killed
by negroes in Tattnall county about
month ago, was able to be out yesterday
for the first time. Another member of
the colony, residing at the same house,
was the victim of a serious accident Sun
day. He was at Thunderbolt Sunday
afternoon with Ameen Thomas When
they went to take the car 20 return to the
which was wet, and hefell, striking on his
side on the projecting end of crosstie.
A compound fracture of his right thigh
resulted. He was brought 30 the city and
the wound attended to by Drs. r. G. and
w. E. Norton. The limb was bandaged
in plaster paris and the poor fellow is
now on his back in bed, where he is likely
to remain for month to come.

SYRIANS IN HARD LUCK.
Another Of Their Number MuTdeTOuSly
Assaulted.

Saab George, a Member of the Syrian
Colony, Attacked From Behind With
Knife About Two Miles West of
the City by a Negro Who FeiEned
Sleep as the PeddIer Passed-The
Would be Murderer Frightened
Away by Parties on the Road-An-
other Member of the Colony Breaks
His Leg at Thunderbolt.
Saab George, one ofthe Syrian peddlers
employed by Ameen Thomas, was nearly
murdered yesterday afternoon. He was
brought into the city by some men vino
found him in a nearly dying condition
alongside the Central railroad track
about two miles from the city. He was
taken to the office of DIR. r. G. Norton,
who dressed his wounds.
George speaks very little English, and
his story was told through an interpreter.
He said he was going along the Central
railroad track about 2 o'clock, when he
passed a negro apparently asleep on the
side of the road. He paid no attention to
the man, when suddenly he received a
blow from behind with knife. He COM
menced to run, and his assailant pursued
him, striking him from behind with the
knife. 1t is miracle that George was
not killed, as his assailant evidently in
tended murder
FRIGHTENED AND RAN.
1t is supposed that his assailant saw
some men coming toward them on the
railroad track, and so gave up his pur-
suit of the peddler and took to the woods.
This is the only supposition that ac-
counts for the fact that the negro did not
take the peddlers pack as, his object was
evidently robbery. He arrived in the
city about three hours later very weak
from loss of blood. and was taken to the
Office of DR.. Norton, who dressed his
wounds.
DR.. Norton said that George had very
close call. He received one wound in the
neck, a cash three inches long and an
inch and half deep which missed the
carotid artery just one-quarter of an inch
Had this artery been severed death would
have resulted in about one minute There
was another deep stab on the top
of the shoulder and three knife wounds
in the back of the head. 1t was evident
from the character of the wounds that
all the blows had been struck from be-
hind. George was very weak from loss
of blood, but was able to DE up last night
He is at Ameen Thomas house, No. 204
Bay street. George had just recovered
from long spell of malarial fever, and
was in no condition to resist the attack
that was made upon him.
