MIR. HAL sCHLEY DEAD.
His ApopIetic stroke Results Fatally
at 1I;25 O'Clock Last Night.

His ApOpIetic Stroke Results Fatally
at 11;25 o'clock Last Night.
Mr.. Henry McAlpin Schley died last
night at HIPS o'clock at the residence of
Col. c. d. owens at Bolton and Abercorn
streets, as the result of a stroke of apo
plexy and paralysis with which he was
attacked just as he was retiring on We'd
nesday night. The attack was a sudden
one and came without any warning. 1t
was a surprise and a shock to his rela-
tives and many friends by whom he has
always been looked upon as a man of
strong and healthy physique.
After the attack however, his death was
momentarily expected. He fingered
through yesterday and the day before, un-
conscious the greater part of the time, un-
able to speak a word and unable to rec
ognize those around him. He seemed to
rally just a little yesterday afternoon
about o'clock, and recognized his wife
and daughter who were at his bedside.
That, however, was only for a few min
utes and from that time he rapidly sank,
becoming almost entirely paralyzed early
last night. His physicians did everything
in their power, but no change for the bet
ter was seen at any time. From a momen-
tary consciousness in the afternoon ne re-
manned unconscious up to the time of his
death.
Mr.. Schley was born in Augusta and
was AZ years old His father, Mr.. John
Schley, a well-known lawyer came to
Savannah when he was quite a young
man, and the family has since resided in
this city. Mr.. Schley has been at differ
ent times engaged In various business
pursuits, but for the last few years has
been the southern representative of the
Crew, Levick & Co. oil works. He mar
ried Miss Lily Drake of Charleston, s.
c., who with a daughter, Eleanor, sur
wives him. He was a true gentleman
and numbered his friends in Savannah
by those who knew him. He was ever
ready to aid any one in distress and had
a pleasant word for all with whom he
was brought in contact. Mr.. Schley had
just purchased a country home near Mil
ledgevile, and was to have moved there
with his wife and daughter within a
few days.
Mr. Schley's grandfather, Judge Will
liam Schley. at one time of the Eastern
judicial circuit of Georgia, his father and
two of his uncles, strange to say, died in
very similar manner, all of them being at
tackled by apoplexy. The funeral will take
place this afternoon al O'clock from the
Independent Presbyterian church. The
interment will be at Laurel Grove ceme-
terry.

Notices Received Here That Miles &
Bradt VIII Put Up the Public
Building.
supt ]. j. hewitt of the Savannah pub
lie building has received an official COM
munication from the treasury department
giving him notice that Messrs. Miles g.
Bradt of Atlanta were the lowest bidders,
and that they would put up the structure
of the building. He also received a letter
from Messrs. Miles q Bradt of Atlanta
stating that they had already ordered the
materials for the work and that they
would be here to begin work as soon as
possible.
1t is likely that Messrs. Miles G. Bradt
will put up their derricks and apparatus
which will be used in the work of con-
struction within teh next week or ten
days. but il is hardly probably that they
will begin laying the stone and brick for
a month or so yet
In spite of these facts strenuous efforts
are still being made to have the structure
of Georgia marble instead of limestone
and brick. Capt. d. G. Purse is in CORES
pondence with Col. Rufus e. Lester about
the matter, and has also telegraphed to
Supervising Architect william NJ. Akin
asking him If the final determination of
the contract could not be delayed for a
few days. These steps were taken on ac-
count of the fact that a movement is con-
templated here to urge the department to
reconsider the matter and have the work
done in marble. Nothing definite, how
ever, has as yet been accomplished

The High Springs Division Put IN
Charge of Supt. w. II. Denham.
Mr.. J. w. Craig has resigned his posi-
ton as superintendent of the High
Springs division of the Plant system, and
Mr.. w. b. Denham, superintendent of
the Florida Southern railroad, has been
given charge of the High Springs divls-
ion also. The following circular an
nouncng this change was issued yester-
day from the Plant system headquar-
tiers here:

ion, and the Silver Springs, Ocala and

The consolidation of the two divisions
under one head will probably necessitate
the removal of the headquarters of the
division to High Springs from Ocala.
where il is at present, and will also result
in doing away with Supt Craig's clerical
force.
Gen. supt Durham is at Tampa. His
assistant, Mr.. Thompson, who was seen
at the general office yesterday, said that
the location of the headquarters of the
High Springs division would probably be
changed, but to what point he could not
say.
Supt. Craig has been connected with the
Plant system since 1875 with the exception
OF an interval of about five years. He
has shown himself an able railroad man
in every respect. The cause of his resix-
nation was the fact that the headquarters

How They Shoot the Nile Rapids.

Arab boys are expert swimmers, and,
like boys in general, are fond of display
ing their skill before strangers if only
they are rewarded by some small coin.
Mr. Eden tells how they shoot the rapids
of the Nile.
Seating themselves astride of a log of
wood about six feet long and buoyant
enough to support them waist high out
of the water. they ride it with the seat
and gestures of a jockey, and with both
hands and feet keep it straight with the
line of the current
The fall is shot with an ease and
grace that does away with the sense of
danger one would expect to feel at see
ing man hurried along amid such q
boil and turmoil of waters, but once at
the bottom they have a hard struggle
to induce their horses to turn out of the
course.
To do this they avail themselves OF
the impetus acquired by the log in its
shoot, and throwing themselves full
length upon il they seem, with sudden
stroke from the left leg and arm. &c

The English Boniface Is Making Prepare
lions to Entertain Many of Us This Year.
Already the indications are that more
Americans are coming to Europe this
year than ever before. The proprietors of
the principal hotels in London are reloic-
ing over the fact that they have received
more applications for apartments dur
ing the season from all parts of the
United States than at so early a date in
any previous year. II their expecta-
tons are unfulfilled. it will be a dismal
time for the English boniface. for the
best of them found the balance on the
wrong side of the ledger last year, and
America is the sole hope for many of
them One thing only il was feared
might check the exodus, and that dan
ger is probably over. Most of the steam
ship lines made some advance in first
class fares last season in anticipation of
Worlds fair travel. 1t proved to be the
most Improbable year for long time.
Tho recent conference of managers of
the principal lines discussed the point
unciiicially. but the managers were al
most unanimous in opposing a further
advance
The agents recognize that the bulk of
American summer travel comprises
clergymen, schoolteachers and others
having moderate salaries and long va
cations. A heavier tax would keep
them at home. 1t is further argued that
these classes rather profit than suffer by
the hard times, so it is expected that
travel this year will be unusually large.
