SHORT STOPS,
What the People are Saying.

The City Council Is the legislative de-
partment of the city government; the
mayor is the executive officer, whose duty
il is to carry out the legislation OF the
City Council.
The mayor must bear all the blame of
the acts OF tie City Council. as some peo-
pie Woult put it, yet The people should
hold their legS laliv body responsible for
the city government.
The perpexities OF life are so pressing
upon the average citizen that he has lit
lie time for deliberate thought upon pub
lie measures. he must wait for the time to
make up mis- yerd.c2 az the ballot box.
II there has been DELAYS in the eXecu-
ton nt the will Of the people in regard to
public measures, there are reasons for
this delay. Today the city adminiStra
ton has been sustained in court upon
issues raised involving its credit and its
ability to meet public emergencies.
The people rejoice that the city gov
eminent has been sustained In the in
Junction suit over the electric light ques-
tiCn. The city has power to protect the
public interests: iG can use its credit; 1t
can make cONtraCtS, even il private in
tGrestS are interieTed with.
The city government is still master of
the situation.

LITTLE HENRY's ESCAPE.
He Created an Exciting Scene
on Alamo Street Last Evening.

Va <1AuAho NbAOCb SoSb ASNS11bSs
When mothers own eyes see her
child almost In the throes OF death her
fright can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Mrs. Gustav Schramm, wife Of
the saloon keeper on the northwest corner
Of South Alamo and Vilita streets, ex-
perionced just such fright last evening
about dusk.
Her lutte Six-vear old son. Henry. was
playing on the sidewalk with other boys
ana was about IL cross the street. AS he
r"ac ned the middle of the street. a pRIr
or horses attached to q hack uCcu-
pied by passenger were coming down at
the usual rate Of speed.
The mothers awful experience can be
better pictured when she saw her son run
directly into the horses and did not get =
glimpse of him again until the little feI-
low was thrown upon the sidewalk, APP
parently unconscious and in d seriously
crippled condition.
Mrs. Scnramm let out loud
scream and Immediately help was at
hand to assist her. The little
boy was picked up land examined.
1t was found that fortunately no injuries
were received beyOnd q severe shaking up
the house and attended to. after which
he was reprinanded for his carelessneSs.
The hack driver was not To blame, as he
was careful and held the horses within
the limit OF speed, and The scene was
caused solely by the little fellows negii-
gence. Mrs. Schrsmm was standing in
the door of her residence when the acct
dent occurred.
1t was pronounced most miraculous
escape by all who witnessed tho Cccur-
renee and a mangled corpse vas EXPECTED
as result.

Blakely, Ga, March &c -Blakely was
to-day visited by one Of the saddest oc-
curences in its history, and tonight more
than one house is shrouded in gloom.
Great was the surprise to most of
Blakely's population when it was made
known that on last evening H. H.
Buchanan, formerly of Blakely, but
recently of Columbus, Ala, was joined
in matrimony to Mrs Ida Cook at her
home in the western suburbs of Blakely,
j. d. Jones justice Of peace, officiating
To-day the news came over the wires
from Columbia that the bridegroom Of
less than twenty-four hours had COM
mitted suicide by the roadside, on the
road leading from this point to Columbia,
his place of business.
THE CAUSE UNKNOWN.
The causes that led up to, and the de-
tails surrounding the fatal deed have not
yet been ascettained, but this much is
known; About two weeks since Mrs.
Cook went to Florida on a visit and was
joined either while there or on her return
home by Mr.. Buchanan. They returned
bv way of Gordon and the Alabama Mid
land railroad. Securing a hack at Cor
don, they were driven to her
home in West Blakely, arriving
last evening about nightfall A mes
senger was dispatched for a marriage
license and magistrate, and the ceremony
was performed about o'clock D. m, as
already stated. Mr.. Buchanan remained
until this morning, when he babe his wife
good-oy, called for hack and gave orders
TO be driven to Columbia, at which place
he was depot agent of the Central rail-
road.
HIS FAREWELL TO HIS SISTER.
Stopping a moment at the house of his
brother-in-law, Col. w. A. Jordan, he
talked while with his sister, Mrs. Jor-
dan, IN regard to his marriage, as we'll as
some other matters, and remarked to her
on telling her goodby that he guessed it
would be long time before she would see
him again. When about eleven miles
from here, and near the Chattahoochee,
he got out of the vehicle, and instruct
ing the driver to wait few moments went
back and turned out in the woods The
driver was in few moments startled by
pistol shot from the woods in the direc-
ton MIR. Buchanan had gone. and Mr.
Buchanan not returning, the driver went
back to investigate and found him lying
on the ground, with a pistol close by as if
it had fallen from his hand, and with a
bullet hole through his head. The de-
ceased is widely known in this section, is
about 30 years of age, and has been in the
employ of the Central railroad for the
last twelve years.

Narrow Escape Of the Gazan House on
Jones Strset Last Night.

Jones Street Last Night.
The house owned by Mrs. L. J. Gazan,
and occupied by II. L. Smith, No lOl
Jones street, was badly dam
aged by fire and water last
night. The fire was discovered about
u 30 o'clock by a young lady next door,
who was reading in bed. She started
the cry of fire, and an alarm was shortly
sent in from Box 30. at
Taylor and Drayton streets. Mr.. Smith
and family had retired and knew nothing
of the fire until aroused by their neigh
cors. The fire was in the roof, which was
bursting in flames when the firemen
arrived. They quickly got it under con-
troll, but it was sometime before the fire
was entirely eXtinguished, it having
gotten in between the walls.
The house was new one, built by the
late L. j. Gazan and was hansomely
defective fue on the second floor, where
caught the lathinC and made its way up
TO the roof where it spread.
The only person sleeping on the third
floor was a servant girl, who would al
most certainly lost her life had not the
fire been discovered so early
1t was ditncult to estimate
the damage last night, but it
is probably between s., 900 and $1,000.
The whole house was saturated with
water. The property is insured with w.
H Daniels and other agents.
The origin of the fire was plainly due
TO the poor construction OF the fiue and
emphasizes the need of a building in
spectOr.

Said to Be Worthless.
Brunswick. Ga, March ga check
for $4OS, signed J. W. Smith * Co, per
Michael Cohen, is in the National Bank
of Brunswick for collection. The story
connected with the paper is interesting.
About a month ago Messrs. J. w. Smith
* Co. produce merchants employed Mike
Cohen, Of Memphis Tenn. as salesman.
The Messrs. Smith being from Memphis
themselves knew Cohen and had no hest
fancy in giving him a responsible posi-
tion. Conan was hustling salesman and
did his work well. Last week however,
he was discharged and left for Savannah.
Saturday the above mentioned check came
10 Messrs. Smith through the bank for
collection. II had been passed on the
Savannah Brewing Company by Cohen.
The firm declared it a forgery and
refused payment. To-day two drafts
came through the Merchants and
Traders Bank on J. w. Smith K Co., one
for s. and the other for Il. They were
from j. 5. Collins x Co. and Collins, Gray
son & Co., of Savannah, and signed by J.
w. Smith &, Co, in COhen's handwriting.
These were likewise declared forgcries,
and payment refused. The forged papers,
amounting TO S4l4. are now in the Ma
