His condition gradually grew worse,
and by advice of his physician, DR.. Ar

Of age and was most valuable man
to his employers. He was the only son,
and was much respected by the bust

STILL LEADS.

New Haven Polo Team Defeats the
Meridens in Great Game and the
Cranks Are Happy.
1t was regular old time polo game
that was witnessed at the Quinnipiac
rink last night, when the famous Meri-
den team appeared here for the first
time. There was close on 1000 enthu-
siasts present. The first goal Of the
game was scored by the Meridens and
took just 5:35 minutes corrected time
to make it. The home team was la
mentally weak in the first fifteen min
utes of the game, ard let the Meridens
play all around them. Time was called
with no further scoring. Meriden,
goal New Haven, 0.
In the second fifteen minutes the
home players braced up and played
more like their usual form, and after
six minutes and 46 seconds play r.
Gavitt by beautiful drive, Gagged the
ball and tied the game, amidst great
applause. There was no more scoring
in the second fifteen minutes, and the
score stood, Merden goal, New Haven
1 goal, and twenty-five seconds from
the start of the last period c. Warner
scored an easy goal for the Meridens,
which again put them in the lead. This
seemed to nettle the New Haven boys,
and they started out with determine
ton in their eye that seemed to say, do
or die, and they did. From this time
on the home team played almost per-
feet polo, and kept up regular fusil-
ade on the Meriden's goal and played
all around their opponents. e. Gavitt
did all the scoring for New Haven and
when time was called the score stood
to 2 in favor of New Haven.
NOTES ON THE GAME.
The crowd last night was highly
pleased with the game, and the indica-
lions are that should the home team
maintain it's high state Of efficiency that
large crowds will attend the games
from now on.
With the enlargement of the rink the
management believe that still greater
crowds will attend. This will be ac-
complished before the end of the month
and then all will go as merry as a
marriage bell.
The home team seemed to be little
mussed up in the first period Of the
game last night, and it looked for some
time as if the Meridens were going to
have a win. But they braced up con-
siderably in the second period, and
the enthusiasm of the cranks rose to
fever heat.
Williams played one of his old time
here, there and everywhere games, and
did much to prevent the Meridens from
scoring,
E. Gavitt got in some brilliant work.
But the star of the evening was I'M
doubtedly the goal tending of Mallory,
who seemed we'll nigh invncible.
The Meridens, although beaten, were
certainly not disgraced. They played
winning game from beginning to end.
Their play in the first fifteen minutes
was almost perfection. They played a
brilliant game indeed, and are sure to
give a good account Of themselves be-
fore the season Is finished.

SAVANNAH, GA. MONDAY, MARCH 80 1897

overheard to escape the torture that was
racking their frames.
On the morning of March u, the smoke
of a steamer was seen streaming in a long
line upon the distant horizon. There was
only four inches of the free board of the
boat showing, and 1t was learned after
ward that IL was this that first attracted
the attention of those on the YanaTiva be-
fore the signal that had been set was seen.
So low was the boat in the water that 1t
was expected momentarily that she would
sink the men being too exhausted to make
any attempt to free her.
After an hour of horrible suspense, dur
ing which time the Yanariva was manou-
vering to get the boat under her lee, the
survivors were hauled aboard the steamer
Their Joy was intense when they felt a
solid deck again beneath their feet.
Those who were saved had no knowl-
edge of the fate OF those who had left the
st. Nazaire in the other boats, but before
they parted company with the captains
boat, they frequently saw those in her
dropping corpses overheard, Many Of
those in that boat seemed to be raving
mad.
Capt. Weston of the Yanariva says that
the boat was sighted at II o'clock on the
morning of March IS. She was then 253
miles from New York. IT was an anxious
and difficult task to make the rescue. The
sea was running high and at times the
boat was carried to a level with the
steamerss side. 1t was feared that the
steamer would be driven too close to her
and swamp her. The occupants were too
weak to render the slightest assistance to
the steamer in getting them aboard. For
four days they had been without food or
water, and some of them had left the st.
Nazaire so hurriedly that they did not
have a proper supply of clothing These
iil-clad men had suffered extremely from
| the cold.
When the men were taken aboard the
steamer they fell into alternate paroXysms
of laughing and crying.
After the rescue had been erected, capt
| Weston put man at the masthead of the
Yanarfva to keep a lookout for the other
| boats, but no trace of them was seen.
The French consul greeted the Yanari-
| va upon her arrival here and warmly
| thanked Capt. Weston for his humanity
| and seaman-like conduct.
Capt Weston. who is a fair specimen
of the bluff English sea captain, is proud
| of his achievement in restoring all the
| rescued men to health.

At the William 1 festivities, the social
democrats held aioof from participation
and have since practically ignored the cell
ebration. The press and leaders have re-
trained from even criticising the festivities,
except when occasionally quoting and
sneering at the utterances of loyal papers.
The reason for this can be we'll understood
The socialist leaders have been taught by
experience carefully to avoid a brush with
the kaiser over anything in which he es-
pecially interests himself, and upon which
they cannot aSSail minister, so the social
list cue was to ''lie low." They are already
organizing their own fetes for May day.

Restraining order Against the Cows
ernOr to he Argued To-day.
Charleston $. c., March 2s.--In Raleigh,
tomorrow morning an order signed by
Judge Simonton of the United States cir
cult court, sitting at Charleston, win be
fled. restraining Gov. Russell OF North
Carolina from enforcing the law recently
enacted in regard 20 the management OF
the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad.
This paper 1t Is expected, will create a
sensation In railroad and administration
circles The restraining order is made re-
turnable before Judge Smonton at Green's
boro, n. c., April 6. The law which Gov.
Russell will be enjoined against enforcing,
seeks to entirely revise the plans by which
the road has been operated. The state
OF North Carolina owns a majority OF the
stock In the road and by a graduated vote
has 800 votes, while private stockholders
have about TOO. The new lawaVould make
the state dominant and would give the
governor great power in the affairs Of the
road. It would also give the governor
power to direct a circuit Judge to appoint
a receiver whan In his opinion this was
necessary or advisable.
The restraining order was obtained at
the suit OF w. Y. Tucker, a stockholder,
to the amount Of $l35,0O.
