A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Dining Car "Delmonte" Over
turned at the Junction.

The Dining Car "Delmonte' Over
turned at the Junction.
The Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad narrowly escaped a serious acct
dent Just outside the city yesterday after
noon. As the vestibuled train, No. 81,
from Columbia, was making the junction
at the Central railroad crossing outside
the city at 4;05 o'clock, journal of the
Pullman dining car "Delmonte" gave
way, letting the body of the car down on
the track, and causing it to break loose
and roll over on its side
The Pullman conductor and several
porters were in the car at the time and
received severe shaking up. Only one
person was injured to any extent, how
ever, one of the porters, who was consid-
erably bruised about the body. His in
Iuries were not considered serious, how
ever as he was able to walk from the
wreck with little assistance.
The train was only delayed few min
utes by the accident and came on to the
city. The dining car was left lying across
the track. Roadmaster Walker went out
with a force of hands, and after several
hours work, succeeded in clearing the
track for the north-bOund trains. The
Central was not blocked by the acct
dent.
Had not the train been moving very
slowly at the time, the accident might
have been much more serious, as the fall
Of the heavy dining car might have
thrown one of the passenger cars from
the track.

K1RMEss COSTUMES.
They Were Elegant, But Many Of
Them More Costly Than Supposed.

They Were Elegant, But Many of
Them More Costly Than Supposed.
The costumes worn by the dancers in
the Kirmess were a striking and most at
tractive feature of performance, about
which there has been much comment.
The costumes were not as many sup
posed cheaply gotten up, but
most Of them were as rich and
elaborate as they appeared to those
who observed them from the audience.
The expense of the costumes was borne,
of course by the performers, and their
total cost was probably as much if not
more than the entire gross
receipts of the three perfor-
mances If it had fallen upon the
ladies of the Kirmess to bear
the expense of costuming the performers
out of the fund from the receipts, there
would have been nothing left for the Or
phans' home.
A low estimate of the average cost of
each costume is $40 or S12, and there were
200 or more in all. This would make the
total expense somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of &, 900 or more. The costumes in
the gypsy dance were among
the most expensive, some of
them running up as high as 500 or S25.
Costumes in many of the other dances
were equally as expensive but they were
all of pretty and costly material, and some
of them are said to have cost as high as
$50 or 500

THE OLDEST GUN CLUB.
Tenth Anniversary of the Forest City
Club Friday Night.


The Forest City Gun Club will hold its
tenth annual election at its hall over
George Schwarz's on Congress street Fri
day night. Officers to serve the club for
the ensuing year will be chosen. The
club is in fiourishing condition, and a
number of applications for membership
will be presented.
On the Thursday following the meet
ing, the club will open the season with
its annual shoot for class medals. The club
now has full control Of the old Chatham
gun club grounds south Of the city.
These grounds are in fine condition and
have been fitted up with all the latest
Improvements and convenience for shoot
ing grounds.
The club expects to make things lively
this season. A number of match shoots
with clubs from neighboring cities are
expected, besides the usual match shoots
between picked teams from the club.
The Forest City club is now in its tenth
year and its members claim that they
have the oldest gun club in the United
States, as well as a record which they
are willing to compare with that of any
club IN the country. Its reputation is
known by sportsmen all over the country.
There are no better shots with gun any
where than some of the crack shots of the

NOT A CALLED MEETING.
The Southwestern Stockholders May
Adjourn Friday to Meet Again.

The Southwestern Stockholders May
Adjourn Friday to Meet Again.
The meeting of the Southwestern stock
holders, to be held in Macon next Friday,
is not a called meeting as some supposed
it is an adjourned meeting. Under the
charter Of the Southweste tern railroad it
requires sixty days notice to call a meet
ing Of the stockholders, and to avoid the
necessity of publishing a call so long be-
forehand, the stockholders simply ad-
journed their annual meeting to Friday
April IS, about sixty days from the date
of the annual meeting
One of the stockholders said the meet
ing was adjourned to this date for the
tunity Of looking into the situation and
reporting to the stockholders what their
prospects were so far as can be seen. As
no reorganization plan has been an
nounced he said he thought the meeting
would adjourn without doing anything.
He said 1t was likely the meeting would
adjourn for about sixty days, or until
such time when 1t was likely the direc-
tors would have something to report
The outlook for the Friday meeting
seems, therefore, to be that there will be
little to discuss 1t is understood that
Gen. Thomas and Mr.. Ryan, who are be-
lieved to be preparing plan of reorgani-
Zation, expect at the proper time to sub
NIT some proposition to the South western
stockholders. 1t is hardly probable that
they are ready to do so just yet Much
interest centers in what the Southwest
ern will be offered under whatever plan is
put forward.

AT THE THEATER TONIGHT.
Grau's Excellent Company to Begin a
Week of Comic Opera.


Week of Comic Opera.
After a successful weeks engagement
in Charleston, the Grau Opera Company
arrived in the city yesterday, and will
present the initial performance of a week
of comic opera tonight
To-night's performance will be ''Paul
Jones'" The bill for the rest of the week,
however, has been slightly changed. The
suggestion published in the MORNING
NEWS yesterday. made by several theater-
goers, and made verbally by many others,
has been adopted and bohemian Girl"

at the matinee tomorrow Tuesdays
matinee will be the Queens Lace Hand
gands," the New York Casinos great sue
cess. Martha" will be presented Wednes-
day night and "Girone-Girofa" Saturday
night.
The Grau company this year is said to
be one of the strongest aggregations of it's
kind on the rold. The able manager
has spared no expense IN securing good
performers, and in costuming them elab-
oratsly. The Grau company has been
highly praised wherever it has appeared.
1t was here at the beginning of the season
last year for weeks engagement, and
those who had the pleasure OF seeing it
then well remember the work Of Stanley
Felch, the comedian, John B. Bell and
Herman Waldo, a trio that is hard to
beat. Miss Eairbairn is an able counter
part to the comedians, and the voices of
Misses earle, Bernard and Mason are
hard to beat. The popular prices will
attract large crowd.

DR.. COLDINC RESIGNS.
The Hospital Managers TO Elect a
New Resident Physician.

DR.. Colding to Make His Home at
Pooler, Where He win Devote His
Attention to the Practice of Medi-
oine-Has Given General Satisfao-
ton During His Long Term of
Once as Superintendent of the
Hospital.
Or. Charles II. Colding, who has been
resident physician and superintendent of
the Savannah hospital for the last ten
years, has rendered his resignation and
will leave that institution shortly. DR..
Colding's resignation will be accepted as
soon as the managers of the hospital can
decide upon physician to succeed him in
charge of the hospital A young man
will probably be selected, as the duties of
the resident physician are such as to re-
quire his active attention at all hours.
Several names are being considered by
the managers, but no decision has been
arrived at as yet.
DR.. Colding will make his home at
Pooler, where he will open an office as a
practicing physician. During his long
term of service DIR. Colding has given the
greatest satisfaction to the managers
anu o1bCnOdhg physicians VI VIC HOSpAOol'
Being physician Of long experience
and high reputation DR.. Colding proved
just the man for the place. Hundreds Of
patients who have been treated at the
hospital during his long superintendence
can testify to his careful and painstaking
attent ton, and his uniform kindness and
courtesy under all circumstances. DR..
Colding will be accompanied in his new
field by the good wishes Of many friends
There is one attendant at least at the
hospital whom it is hoped by all who have
had the good fortune TO be under his care
will not be affected by the change. That
is Mr. Frank Mccoy, the efficient nurse
of the male ward. Mr.. Mccoy has been
with the hospital for five years, and
in that time has earned the grateful
appreciation of all who have been under
his care. Mr. Mccoy has made a reputa-
tion as a surgical and fever nurse and his
services are frequently in demand for
serious cases outside the hospital

MessPs. Kavanaugh & Brennan Re-
ceive Another Dispatch From the
Elliot.
1t is proboble that the British steamship
Elliot, Capt. A Brown, will arriveto-day
or tomorrow morning at latest, with news
of the situation at Bluefelds, which from
all accounts is still in somewhat of a
state of turmoil and excitement
Messrs. Kavanaugh & Brennan, TO
whom she is consigned, received another
telegram from New Orleans yester-
day, sent by Capt Brown, through
the captain Of the steamship Clinton,
which had just arrived there stating
that he expected to leave Bluehelds
April l. If he had left on that date,
however, he would probably have been
here by this time. The indications from
this telegram are, however, that the
Elliot will arrive within the next twenty
four hours.

in fact there was none. We had

a long time, and 1 supposed from
his manner that he merely wished

MAY STOP USING THEM.
Objections of the Railroads to Thou
sand-MiIe Books.

sand-miIe Books.
The discussion among the railroads
with regard to doing away with thousand
mile tickets has been opened anew, and
from all indications it seems that some
determination with regard to the matter
will be reached before it has been
dropped
Commissioner Z. B. Stahlman, Of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Asso-
citation, in a recent interview, came out
fatty in opposition TO their use, giving his
reasons at length why they should be done
away with. The Southern Passenger As
sociation has been DESTROYS for two years
OF more Of disseminating their use.
THE railroads all claim they lose reve-
nue. through these tickets" said we'll
known railroad man yesterday. "They
sell these books at the rate of ~ cents a
mile, whereas their regular rate almost
throughout the entire south is 3 cents.
There would be little objection on that
score. however, were it not for the fact
that these books are so often traded of,
sold at a reduction, and used by parties
who are not the original pur-
chasers, and who have no right TO
them. The conductors always take them
up on our road when they find them in
the hands of nou-purchasers. The rail
road considers that there is as much of
contract on the part Of the purchaser Of a
thOusand-mile ticket TO use it himself and
for the purpose stated, as there is on the
part Of the railroad to transport the pur-
chaser, when the ticket Is offered for
passage Selling or trading off the ticket
is therefore a violation Of the contract,
and the railroads in general experience
more trouble from this source than from
any other class of tickets sold.

A Rumor That Mr.. Saussy May GO
With the Tybee Road.
If rumor is correct it is probable that
on or about May l the registration COM
mission may have to elect new registrar.
1t is said that Mr.. Saussy may be APP
pointed manager of the Tybee railroad,
which will begin operations somewhere
about May l, or shortly after. The road
is, of course, TO be operated by the
Central, but somewhat different from
the manner in which it was for
merly operated. In case this is
done Mr.. Saussy would probably resign
as registrar, in which event the commits
sion would have TO decide on an appoint
ment to al the vacancy. Such a state of
affairs would probably lead to considera-
BILE discussion as to who would be ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.

lowed to the city yesterday. After the
workmen. who had been employed in dig

vessel was purchased several months ago
by Strachan & Co. as she stood upon the
