FELL FROM TRAIN,
SERIOUSLY HURT.
Fireman Ben Franklin Narrowly
Escapes a Horrible
Death.
THROWN UNDER THE WHEELS.
He Went to the George Street Crossing to Meet
Friends But Will Not Be Able to
Enjoy Their Visit,

Fireman Ben n. Franklin, of the
city fire department, was painfully
and seriously injured yesterday after
noon, being thrown from and partially
run over by the Southern's special ex-
cursion train arriving at 2 80.
The train, which was crowded with
excursionists from Macon and all
points south, did not stop at the
George street crossing, as is the GUS
tom of regular trains on the Southern,
but slowed down to the speed required
when crossing streets, and this is the
explanation of the unfortunate acct
dent.
Mr.. Franklin attempted to board
the train at George street, but missed
his footing and was thrown from and
alongside the moving train, which
considerably increased It's speed when
the crossing was passed.
His injuries were the loss of three
fingers from the right hand and an
unsightIy abrasure of the scalp. Spec.
tators declare that the scalp wound
was caused by his head striking
against crosstie.
Speedy assistance was rendered, and
the wounded man, who was. uncon-
scious when picked up, was carried to
his home at 1926 Reynolds street. Drs.
Branham, Hugh Burford and Blanton
were called in and in a short while
the Commissions and decorations were
sewed and bonnd.
At o'clock Mr.. Franklin was out of
danger, and he will be out in a few
days. The physicians think he will
have pretty good use of his second
finger, and also expect to save about
half of his third and fourth fingers.
The wound on his head is nothing Sc
rious and will be all right as soon as
the scalp can heal.
Mr.. Franklin had secured a leave of
absence from duty from Chief Green
in order to meet some friends who
came IN on the excursion.
Chief Green SAID yesterday that
Franklin was one of the most valuable
men in the department and that it
would be hard to fill his place during
the period of bis disability.

HANNA'S GUESTS.
The President and Party Being Entertained
at Cleveland.


Cleveland, O., Aug. 27.-President
Mckinley and party arrived here this
morning and will remain until
Wednesday. The party came in on
Senator Hanna's yacht. The recep-
ton was not as elaborate as planned
because of the arrival of the distin-
guished party hours ahead of the
schedule. Senator Hanna was some
what surprised to know of the elabor-
ate preparations. 1t is said he ad-
vised against it yesterday, because of
the uncertainty of the presidents ar
rival.
He asked, however, that the Naval
Reserve and the Tippecanoe club be
notified of the arrival of the party,
and invited the newspaper men
aboard. The presidents appearance
indicates perfect health. The presi-
dent has repaired to Senator Hanna's
residence, and it is probable a public
reception Will be held.

WILL THEY PARADE?
A Question Arises Out of the Military Fea-
ture Promised for Monday.

tur6 PROMISED Ior monday.
AS The TIMES has announced, the
anniversary of the Uniform Rank
Knights of Pythias will occur on Mon
day and Will be celebrated by Ogle-
thorpe company of this city with a
public parade and inspection. 1t was
also announced that the other military
organizations of the city would turn
out in joint parade in honor of the
Pythians.
A question has arisen in the mean
time, pending the decision of which
the orders for the turnout of the Rifle
men and the Naval Militia are held up.
The question is as to whether the
state military organizations can pa
rade under the command of Major
Louis Haym. Major Haym is an off,
Ger of the Uniform Rank and has no
commission from the state. 1t is
claimed that the participation of the
regular state militia in a parade under
the command of an officer who Is not
commissioned by the state would be
breach of military law. The question
has never been sprung before and it is
not known how it will he settled.

unexpected to holders, in as much as
our market advanced yesterday, but
wheat is cereal that at present
moves either way very rapidly and
longs were not disposed to mold their
lines in the face of weak foreign ad-
vances. There was also a break In
continetal wheat markets of from 20
to 2715c although an advance of fro m

Ordered by Alderman Burbank With
out Consent OF Colleagues.

There was public hearing this after
noon before the committee on street signs
and numbers relative To the change Cf
numbers on Snow street without proper
authority.
This change was ordered several weeks
ago by Alderman Burbank without the
slightest authority and he was publicly
reprimmded for his action at an open
meeting of the Board of Aldermen. He
had been appointed by the Mayor TO serve
on the committees and then before there
was any meeting Of the committee he
took it for granted that his colleagues
-xeuld- elect him chairman as n matter of
course. SO he anticipated and ordered a
change, regardless OF the wishes of any
one else and, as "A matter of fact, contrary
TO the desire of the majority of property
owners of the street.
The change was complete. not only Of
numbers, but the renumbering COM
menced from the other end OF the
thoroughfare and the odd and even sides
were exactly reversed. For instance, the
public library number, which had been

HE IS BARRED OUT.
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott Not Allowed
to Lecture in a Y. M. c. A. Hall.
Recent Utterances Regarding Jonah
and the Whale, the Cause.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 20.-The Rev.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, of Brooklyn, will not
be allowed to lecture in the Young Mems
Christian Association Hall here because
of his recent utteranoes regarding Jonah
and the whale.
The hall was engaged for Dr. Abbott
before he deliys red his sermons, but when
he advanced his theories about Jonah, the
managers of the Young Mems Christian
Association took steps TO keep him away
from their building on the ground that
his teachings were not altogether desira-
BILE for such place.
They made proposition TO the commit
tee of Hicksite Friends who had DIR. Alb
bott in charge for his withdrawal, and the
committee consented TO cancel the engage
ment of the hall DIR. Abbott will lecture
in horticultural Hall.
An officer of the association explained
that the character of lectures and enter
tainments is always considered when it
comes to renting the hall. The, associa-
ton in measure considers itself rcspon-
sible for what takes place in the building,
and AS the management is strictly ortho-
dox il was not thought proper to take
any chances on DIR. Abbott.

AN UNUSUAL REQUEST.
Il Was Made In the Much Heard Of Cor
man Divorce Case.

The famous divorce case of Mauy German
VS.. Joseph German was before the Appellate
Court this morning on the application of j. II.
Byrne, attorney for Mrs. German, for an al.
lowance for counsel fees. This is the case in
which the respondent undertook to set mp a
Russian ecclesiastical divorce. but the court
did not find the claim of a previous divorce
well founded
Judge Tillinghast said the request for SCUM
sci fees after divorce had been granted was
an unusual one. James A. Williams, counsel
for Mr.. German, objected to the request
Mr.. Byrne called the attention OF the court
to tie fact that there had been five hearings
in the case. that il had been necessary TO
have expert witnesses, an interpreter and
also a commission for the taking of testimony
outside the state. Mr.. Byrne also said that an
allowance for counsel fees had been asked and
refused previous to the final hearing on the
petition.
Judge Tillinghast informed Mr.. Byrns that
his claim seemed TO be a meritorious one, and
hewould confer with his associates on the
matter

NEW CENTRAL BRIDGE.
Court Appoints Commission To Apportlon
the Cost.

At the request of Francis Colwell,
Judge Tillinghast today appointed former
Congressman Warren o. Arnold of
Glocestcr William p. Sheffield, Jr., Esq,
of Newport, and Senator Albert Kenyon
of Richmond, commissioners to ascertain
the towns especially benefited by the
building Of the new central bridge and
also to fix what amounts such towns shall
pay the city Of Providence for the build
ing of the bridge.
The act of the General Assembly pro-
vides for the appointment of these COM
missioners and the only point raised
today was whether the parties selected
had any interest as residents of towns in
the state in the appointment of the ex-
penditure already assumed by this city.
Judge Tillinghast briefly considered the
point as TO whether or not the commits
sioners were intended To be residents of
the state. He finally decided that the
legislature intended that they should bo
residents and as there seemed to be no
doubt the towns from which the
gentlemen named came having to
pay any assessment for the new bridge
and their qualifications being undoubted
they were appointed.
