SEIZED WITH APOPLExY.

MIR. ii. McAIpin SchIey i'm n Danger
The many friends of Mr.. H. McAlpin
Schley were surprised and panied to learn
yesterday that he was seized the night
before with apoplexy, followed by an en-
tire paralysis of his right side. as the re-
suit of which he is now lying at the resi-
dence of Col. C. D. Owens at Bolton and
Abercorn streets in a dangerous condi-
ton.
Mr.. Schley's sudden attack was the more
surprising on account of the fact that
he has always been looked on as a strong
and healthy man, and Wednesday night
when he left his office about 7:3O o'clock
to go home he appeared bright and hearty
and in good condition. He was all right
up to the time he retired, which was
about 1920 o'clock Wednesday night, but
after a minute got up to fix a window.
When he returned to bed Mrs. Schley no.
ticed that he was breathing
very heavily. She asked him
what was the matter, but could
only get a mumbling reply. She asked
him again with the same result, when
she secured a light and seeing that he
was i'll, had physician summoned. -sDr.
c. c. Sehley, who attended him, soon saw
that his condition was serious and worked
with him almost all night.
Mr.. Schley remained about the same
yesterday, however, and up to late hour
last night. He was in a semi-conscious
state all the time, though once or twice
it was thought that he recognized his
wife and daughter who were near him.
Mr.. Schley is a well known and popular
gentleman, and all day long there were
numerous inquiries as to his condition.
His friends still hope for the best and
it is possible that he may recover. Though
resting easy last night at a late hour,
there had been no change either for better
or worse.

is IT THE sOUTHERNs
That System Believed to Have Bought
the Atlantic Short Line stock.

There is well defined and growing
Short Line railroad. which has so mys-
teriousiy changed hands within the last
two or three weeks, has been bought up
for the Southern Railway Company.
gentleman who keeps pretty well
posted on railroad matters in this sec
ton said yesterday that he was pretty
well satisfied that that was where the
stock has gone. The object of the South
ern in buying up the stock of the Atlantic
Short Line can be easily surmised. Be
sides cutting off possible sompeting line
the purchase Of the property would give
it an excellent feeder. The Southern, as
the possessor of the stock Of the road,
would have an easy time of it when the
road is put up at auction, and could very
we'll bid it in for the amount of its OUT
standing Indebtedness.
There remains but about seven miles
more of rail to be put down in order to
complete the line between Bruton and
Stillmore, and as the Central has a
branch from the mainline out to Still
more, a more extensive FEEDING line
could be procured at a comparatively
small cost. The Southern win of course
be in control of the Central within a
il would be to it's advantage to have the
Atlantic Short Line out of the way.
There are all together $3.50 shares of
stock in the Atlantic Short Line, and a
majority of this. which has been sold,
it is believed, has gone to one party,
though it has all been purchased through
individuals and stands in the names OF
different individuals on the books Of the
company. There is good reason to be-
lieve that this party is the Southern Rail-
road. There were about 400 shares of II
held in Savannah, nearly all of which has
been sold The stock was bought all the
way from Is to 25 cents on the dollar.
Several gentlemen interested in the Geor-
gia and Alabama railroad were asked
about a report that their road had bought
the stock. None of them, however, knew
any thing definite about the matter. They
stated that if 1t had been purchased by
the Georgia and Alabama railroad they
knew nothing about it,

ABSOLUTELY PURE
SECURED A STAY FOR SMALL.
THE MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL TO
BE ARGUED SATURDAY, NOV. 2.

The Motion Filed for n New Trial
Yesterday MOrninE-The Grounds
Are the Usual Legal Ones, That
the Verdict Was Contrary to the
Law and to the Evidence-The
Judges Order Acts as Super
sedeas and the Execution Will Not
Take Place oct. 1S.
Abe Small had his inning yesterday, his
attorneys, Messrs. West and Ravenel, FL
ing a motion for new trial. The grounds
were that the verdict was contrary to law
to the evidence and contrary TO the
weight of evidence.
1t was agreed between the solicitor gen
eral and the counsel for the defense that
the briefs Of either side could be amend
ed or changed at any time previous to or
during the hearing of the motion for a
new trial.
On its being filed, Judge Falligant is
sued the following order in the case:
at is ordered, That the hearing of said
motion be had in chambers at Savannah
on Saturday, Nov. 2. 1895. and that the
same may be heard and determined in va
cation; and it is further
Ordered, That this order do operate as
a supercedeas until the final determine
ton of this motion. and that the judge of
said court may pass such further orders
from time to time in said case in vacation
as may be necessary or as may be con-
scented to by counsel for the state and
the accused"
The general feeling throughout the city
appears TO be against granting new
trial, and many people expressed them
selves openly, saying they did not think
the judge would grant new trial. The
case may be taken up to the supreme
court say these people, but they do lot
look for new trial, unless something eX-
traordinary turns up, as they think THAI
Small was exceptionally well-defended
and everything possible done for him by
his attorneys.
great many are of the opinion, how
ever, that 1t will be some time before
Small will be brought to the gallows.
Messrs. West and Ravenel will do the
best possible for him, and 1t probably
means long legal fight.

THE RULES AMENDED.
The Old Fire Rule Against Attending
Political Meetings Has Disap-
penred.

Political Meetings Has DisaD-
peared.
Rule OF the frstssection Of the new
rules and regulations for the govern
ment Of the fire department. relative TO
the membership Of the force. has been
amended The rule, as first announced,
required that no person should be ap-
pointed to membership in the Depart
ment or allowed to continue to hold men,
bership therein who is not citizen Of
the United States, a legal voter in the
city of Savannah. or who cannot read
and write the English language under
standingly.
The amendment strikes out the words
allowed TO continue membership there
in" and adds the requirement that the
member must also be a qualified voter
in Chatham county as well as the city
OF Savannah. The amendment then fur
Their provides that no officer shall be re-
tanned in the department who cannot
qualify under the provisions of the rule
within three months, and that no private
shall be retained who cannot qualify un-
der the first and second provisions. This
allows the men who are not now Cit
zens and qualified voters an opportunity
to become so. The officers, If there are
any such, who are not citi-
zens and who cannot read and
write the English language under
standingly, are allowed three months in
which to qualify themselves. Three
months is a short time in which to be-
come a citizen and a scholar, but per-
haps the officers lacking in these re-
quirements can qualify themselves with
in that time.
1t has been noted that rule 10 of the
general regulations of the old rules does
not appear among the new rules. This
rule prohibited employees of the DEPART
ment from attending any caucus or po-
litical convention as a delegate. or from
taking any part in any political canvas
or campaign. Alderman Willink, chair
man of the fire committee, was asked
why this rule was not included in the
new rules, but gave no satisfactory re-
ply, claiming to be unaware that there
had been such a rule on the book. He
would not say whether or not employees
of the department were permitted to at
tend political meetings or take part in
campaign under the new rules.
Rule IS, while it existed on the books,
was not always enforced and was fla
GRAVITY violated during the last cam
paign.

bly,, as some criminal trials will likely

work will have to be done to-day and to-
morrow. Among others the cases of the

BLIZZARD WAS FINED
Though He Claimed He Did Not Get
Jenkins Turkeys.

Policeman Halford had quite a lively
chase down Jefferson street yesterday
morning about 1880 o'clock after Alexan-
der Blizzard, who was charged by James
jenkins with the theft of two turkeys.
Blizzard was caught, with the assistance
of the crowd, and taken to the police
barracks. 1t turned out that Jenkins
could not prove that Blizzard had stolen
the turkeys. He merely saw Blizzard
lettering around his house the night be-
fore, and there being two turkeys miss
ing yesterday morning, he concluded that
Blizzard was the thief. The mayor agreed
with jenkins in his suspicious, and fined
Blizzard S. with an alternative OF twenty
days in jail, on the charge Of dlsorderly

chief executive is in high sense the
image Of the people; and to smite
the face of that image recklessly is
certainly . masterpiece of folly. Yet
that is what this Boston representa-
tive of the cloth has done.
His apology is row of record; but
something more than an apology is
needed to wipe out the insult to the
public, who are, in last resort, the
affronted party. What else will the
Rev. /. j. Lansing do? Will he step
down and out of his Parkhurstian
role in Boston? Will he confine his
attentions in the futue to the partic-
ular religious society which may de-
sire his somewhat discredited minis
trations? Or will he buy book on
manners and ask an early assignment
to the field of foreign missions?
All things considered. the last
course seems to be the best one.

WHEN the German Lloyd steamer.

WHEN the German Lloyd steamer.

spot in the North Sea where the EIbe
sank a touching scene took place.
On board the Ems was passenger
who had lost his wife and three chill
dren by the collision, and he had re-
quested the captain of the Ems to
pass slowly over the spot where the
Elbe's masts could be seen above the
water. Signal was given to move
slowly. the whole crew was called to
quarters with the band, flags were
hoisted at half-mast, officers and
crew stood uncovered, and, while a
salute of nine guns was fired. the
passenger, with tears streaming
from his eyes. threw a flower wreath
heavily bound with lead, overheard.
The waves closed over the flowers

age.
