FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE,
A Central and GeOrgia and Ala

into the rear of Georgia and Alabama
freight train No. BPS second section yes
terday morning at Pooler.
No. SO was about twenty minutes late.
and had no orders showing a train at
Pooler. Engineer e. c. Wenz, knew moth
ing of the Georgia and Alabama train,
until he had gotten close enough for tile
moonlight to reveal it, when it was too
late to stop his train.
When the engineer and firemen saw
that the accident was inevitable, they
jumped. The engine crashed into the
train ahead, derailing three of the Geor-
gia and Alabama cars, and being Itself
turned across the tracks, but not over
thrown.
1t was said that no signals were put out
by the Georgia and Alabama trainmen,
who should have known that the Central
train was due just about that time 1t il
not known for what reason the Georgia
and Alabama train stopped, but it proba-
bly, had some good reason for doing So No
freight is handled by that road for the
stations between Savannah and Meldrlin
as 1t is upon the Centrals line, that it
runs from the latter place into Savannah
For this reason the Georgia and Alabama
take on freight.
Both the Georgia and Alabama and Gen.
trail trains are run as far out as Meldrim
by the orders of the latter road. The Gaor-
gia and Alabama trains are furnished
with time tables showing both roads
schedules. The Georgia and Alabama
should have arrived at Pooler day before
Yesterday afternoon. and was about ten
hours late.
No one was hurt in the wreck. Three of
the Georgia and Alabama cars were
thrown from the track and the engine of
the Central road was damaged
Mr.. Hooper was the Georgia and Ala
bama engineer. Passengers to and from
the city were transferred at the wreck and
carried on. 1t was cleared away in time
for the passage of the 10 clock Atlanta
train by the wrecking crew sent up from
the city.
The officials do not know yet to whom
the blame, if there is any blame. for the
accident should be attached, but an inves-
tigation will be held within a few days.

GEORGE L. COPE DEAD.
MaIarIaI Fever and Bright's Disease
Ended His Life.

George L. Cope is dead. This announce
ment will bring sorrow to many hearts
When a report of his death was circulated
yesterday afternoon it was shock to all
who heard It. Few even knew OF Mr..
Cope's illness. The report was not true,
but life was rapidly ebbing away, and
death came at 1910 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Cope was spending few days at the
place OF Mr.. J. r. Dent. in the country,
when he was taken Ill with malarial fever
a week ago last Monday. He returned to
the city the next day and went 10 his
home, No l76 Hull street. There was no
indication of other than an ordinary attack
of malarial fever, and it was supposed that
this would pass off in a few days. Mr..
Cope was in good spirits and received his
friends in his room. He sat uD for some
time the day before his death. Not until
1 O'Clock yesterday did symptoms of that
dread disease, acute Brighfs disease of the
kidneys, develop. The symptoms were UNI
mistakable, and were recognized at once
by the attending physicians, Drs. Harris
and Martin.
The physicians knew that there was no
hope, and notified the members of the
family that Mr. Cope was in a dying condi-
ton. The news was a deep blow to them
Intimate friends were notified and gath
cred at the residence.
Mr.. Cope was cheerful and In good spir-
its during the afternoon and up to late
hour, being conscious almost to the time
of his death. He was made aware of his
condition a few hours before he died, when
the rite of baptism was administered by
Rev. Robb White of Christ church
The deceased leaves widow and one
son, Harris Cope. who has been at school
In WATERFOWL, Conn. He was telegraphed
for yesterday. Mr. Cope's aged mother,
Mrs. Jacksonia II. Cope, also survives him,
besides his brother, Harris Cope, and his
sister, Mrs. James Hunter. The deceased
was the son of the late George L. Cope,
well-known and prominent citi-
zen of Savannah, and was about 40
years of age. He had never engaged IN
any active business or profession, but de-
voted his attention to managing the large
estate left by his father. He was one of
the best known and most popular men
in the city His intimate friends were
deeply attached to him, and his loss 70
them is like the loss Of a brother.
Mr.. Cope was a well known lover AMI
patron of outdoor sports He had been
a prominent member of the Savannah
Yacht Club for several years, and was
rear commodore at the time of his death.
He was also a member of the Oglethorpe
Club and the order of Elks.
The funeral arrangements have not yet
been decided upon, but the funeral will
probably take place upon the arrival of
Mr.. Cope's son tomorrow morning.

Tota1 width rs inches. "a lei.

Mr. Solomon does not claim any origi-
nality for his plan. He saw such pave
ment in London several years ago, he
said, which had been in use for upwards
of a century. Although the traffic is eX
ceedngly heavy on the street, the pave
ment has been little expense for repair.
The idea in having the cobble and blue
stone laid in alternate sections is of
course, that the wheels of the vehicles
should run upon the smooth blue stone,
while the horses should use the cobbe
stone sections, which would afford a firm
er footing. The dimensions will fit the
gauge of all vehicles in general use. Blue
stone has been used for paving with good
results in various parts of the country
Mr.. Solomon states, and its durability Is
established beyond question. The recon-
mendations of such pavement, he says
are that it is durable. comparatively
noiseless, easy to keep clean, would not
require constant sprinkling, and could be
easily taken uD and relaid in making al
terations and repairs to gas and water
mains.
Mr.. Solomon's suggestion is worthy Of
consideration at any rate, while the paw
ing question is under discussion

WITH A RIGHT HAND SWING.



With rght-hand swing on the jaw, Billy
Duke of Baltimore put out Larry Melon
aid before the Pastime Athletic Club last
night in the twenty-flrst round. The match
was one of the best and hardest-fought
that has ever been seen in Savannah, and
from the ring of the gong in the first round
until Mcdonald was counted out both men
were in the game for all 1t was worth.
That Duke was the better NAM in the
condition they were in, was seen from the
start He was hard and his skin had
clear pink look. He looked trained to the
minute. On the other hand, Mcdonald
did not seem to be in as good condition as
he had been in former fights. He looked
overtrained, while his face was drawn ana
pinched as If from entertaining. lie dld
not seem to have his old strength. His
blows did not seem to come with the
sledge-hammer action and he seemed 10
weaken under the punishment admins
tered by Duke.
The first three rounds were even but on
the fourth Duke began to let himself out,
and Larry began to blow from his work
Duke played on his nose with such alarm
ing regularity that the claret began to
flow and his seconds were kept busy be-
tween the rounds attending him.
Mcdonald tried to wind Duke, but the
latter was cautious enough TO see the game
and parried his blows, while he con-
tinued to punch Larry's nose
and lip. Mcdonald got in some
stiff punches on Dukes face and body,
but the "Oriole" did not appear to be the
least effected. He showed himself the
better ring general and kept his head all
through the contest. Every now and then
he would twist his face into an almost
inconceivable shape or send some bright
bit of raillery at his opponent. This was
done evidently with the intention of rat
Ting Mcdonald and it probably had it's
effect
About the fifteenth round Mcdonald
showed signs of grogginess, and though
he was putting up the gamest kind OF
fight, Dukes freshness foreboded victory
for him. In the eighteenth round Duke
knocked Mcdonald against the ropes.
When the men appeared for the twenty
first round, Larry was nearly gone, and,
after a few passes, Duke sent him to
the floor with a swinging right-hander
on the jaw, and he was counted out Nc
Donald was carried to his corner by his
seconds and revived after little.
The referee awarded the decision to
Duke. Mcdonald was pretty badly done
up His lip was in a very swollen con-
dition, as was his right ear. He took his
defeat very much to heart and would
not be consoled.
Before the main bout took place there
was a four-round contest between Pa
cetti and Cockney, an Englishman, which
was red-hot. There was quite a good
crowd in attendance and the contests
were very much enjoyed and enthusiast
tically received

The city council will meet tonight and

Mr. Henry Solomon has written Mayor
Myers a letter, making a suggestion on
the subject of paving Drayton street,
which is of interest. Mr.. Soiomons let
ter is accompanied by a diagram, which
illustrates his idea. His suggestion is
that Drayton street be paved with blue
stone and cobbles in alternate parallel
sections. The diagram represents four
parallel sections of blue stone each 80
inches wide, with interstices paved with
cobble stones.
The pavement, according to Mr.. Solo
mons plan would consist of center Sec
