A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
Railroad Case That VIII Go to the
Supreme Court.

Valdosta, Ca, Jan. "A thrilling ex-
perience is reported from a few miles
north of town. Yesterday Mr.. Irwin Pc
tiers and his family were out riding when
the horse ran away and threw all of
them out except a 2-year-old child. Mr.
Peters was badly injured. by the fall,
but the others were only slightly bruised
The horse ran a mile from where they
were thrown out crossing a bridge over
the Withlacoochee river at break-neck
speed and hurting the buggy against a
tree with such force that the animal
jerked out of the harness. From the re-
runaway horse, it was thought that the
child had been thrown from the buggy
into the river but when the shattered
vehicle was reached the child was seated
in it, smiling with surprise at what had
happened.
In the hearing of the petition of defend
ants for new trial in the case of Barn
we'll VS. the S., F. and w railroad yester-
day, a new trial was refused by Judge
to the supreme court In the trial of the
case in December the jury gave verdict
against the road for 81 900.
The ladies of the Baptist church are ar
ranging to have a bazaar for the benefit
of a new building fund The affair will

ATLANTA's DETECTIVES.
The Members of the Department Re-
moved From Office.


Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 22.-Mayor King APP
proved the ordinance abolishing the city
detective department which was passed by
council last Monday, and at O'Clock this
afternoon all the members of that de-
partment were removed from office. The
detectives, who have had soft berths for
some years past, will be on duty as regu-
lar policemen If they are willing to ac-
cept the change Of position with accom-
panying reduction of pay. 1t is not in
tended, however, that the police depart
ment shall be conducted without the SER
vice altogether, but the effect of the Ordi-
nance, which goes into effect to-day. is
only to abolish that feature of the ser
vice as a separate institution. Hereafter
men from the regular force will be de-
tailed to act as detec lives under the direct
MANAGEMENT of Cb Fl Of Police Connally,
instead Of under a -eparate chief.
While all the heads went off in the ranks.
II appears that Capt. ]. NJ. Wright, who
was elected chief of detectives, he being
the man at whom most of the opposition
TO the department was aimed, was also
elected assistant chief Of police for a term
of two years, which has not yet expired
On this account he claims that he is en-
titled to remain in Office and draw the
salary that he has been receiving, and
declares that he will hang on to the last
The abolition of the detective depart
ment has developed a very lively dispute
between the chairman of the police board
George %. Johnson, and Chief of Police
Connally. Chief Connally, in his apology
to the public for the failure of the depart
ment, stated that 1t was largely due to
the fact that the detectives were selected
by the police board instead of by himself
Chairman Johnson comes back at the
chief by declaring that he selected every
member of the department and is directly
responsible for them.
The police met tonight and selected a
temporary detail of six men to do the
detective work for the city The proceed
ings of the board were held in secret

barred out

Myth a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
1y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by'all rep
utab3e druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then lax2-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sbillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the Well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
rsedand gives most general satisfaction.
