RUNAWAY HORSES MAD RACE.
Created Panic on Jefferson and
BrOuGbtOn Streets.

Created Panic on Jefferson and
BrOuGbtOn Streets.
A delivery wagon belonging TO Jacob
Kraft, a baker at Duffy and Jefferson
streets was demolished yesterday In a
runaway on Jefferson street. The horse
colided with another horse at the corner
Of Jefferson and Broughton streets, the
result of which was the narrow escape
of a negros life.
The runaway was attributable to the
drivers confidence in his horse, which
was shown too freely. He wanted to have
the bride mended. and stopped for that
purpose at Coleman's harness store. at
Congress and jefferson streets. The Bride
was removed, and, as the animal had new
er before shown any disposition to be I'M
ruly, the driver left him standing. While
he was in the shop fruit vender's wag-
on passed at which the animal took
fright, and started around the corner and
south on Jefferson street at a rampant
rate.
On account of there being no Bride II
was impossible for any one to stop the
horse, and he went without interruption
At Broughton and jefferson streets
negro was seated in a wagon. Into iris
the horse ran, Jerking off a wheel from
the Kraft wagon, and reducing the speed
of the frightened animal somewhat. The
force of the collision threw the negro to
the ground, where he tossed about and
finally found himself beneath his wagon.
After crossing Broughton street, the run
away was stopped, not, however, before
pretty nearly demolishing the bread wag-
on. No one was hurt, but there were sew
eral narrow escapes by persons crossing
the street

DRuMMERs TALK GALA WEEK.
Another Meeting VIII Re Held To-
morrow Morning

Post A. of the Travellers Protective As
ISOLATION. held a meeting yesterday morn
ing at the Screven house. President Low
enstein presided.
There were a number Of drummers pres
ent, and the meeting was harmonious Il
is expected that there will be a great many
more here tomorrow, as they will be re-
turning TO spend the holidays at their
homes. and it was decided to hold an
other meeting.
Committees were appointed TO visit the
merchants of the city in the meantime ana
feel the pulse of the business men with
regard TO the gala week, that it is the
wish Of the drummers to have at the an
nual convention of the association in Sa
vannah. These committees saw a good
many merchants curing the afternoon.
and they report that the general sentiment
Is in favor of the gala week.
The business men recognize the CONNER
cial benefits that would follow the hold
ing of such q celebrat ton. The adVertis-
ing by the drummers among the people
of South Georgia would be sure, il is
thought, to insure a big crowd. and that
is what Is wanted The drummers are
anxious to secure the material aid of the
gala week one of the biggest that has ever
been held here. No solicitation was made
yesterday, however, as the committees
recognized the fact that in this busy sea-
son the merchants have other things to
think of than contributions to any cause.
At the meeting thar is to be held to-
morrow att the Screven house, the drum
mers will try to settle finally whether they
will attempt to hold the gala week in con-
nection with the convention. The conven-
ton Will be held whether or not the occa-
sion is made one of general celebra ton.
II alone will bring some four or five hum
dred travelling men to the city during the
month of April.
The travelling men, who have already
returned to their homes in this city for
the holidays, report that the country peo-
pie are anxious to come to Savannah. They
want the gala week decided on, and are
so telling the drummers who come among
them. Chairman Max Krauss of the rail-
road committee, is doing good work in his
line, and he has reason TO believe that the
roads VIII gladly grant a 1-cent-a-mile
rate for the occasion. Upon their action
will depend in a large measure. the sue
cess of the celebration. Chairman Bel
singer of the finance committee will be
present tomorrow and win submit a re-
port that will serve TO show the members

THOUGHT IT WAS THE TROPHY.
Guards Surprised Mt the Contents OF
Big BOX.

Guards Surprised ut the Contents or
Big BOX.
The report that the Hilton trophy had
arrived at the Guards hall last night drew
a number of members, who were anxious
to get an early view of the trophy of the
skill of Savannah rifemen When the
package was opened, however, it was found
to contain, instead of the trophy, lot
of military accoutrements.
The idea of the trophy having at last
reached its destination grew out of Col
George 7. Cam having been notified by
the Southern Express Company that a
large package had been received for him
from Atlanta. The trophy at once sug-
gested itself to Col. Cam, as he knew that
it had been shipped from Washington,
where 1t has been held by the District of
Columbia National Guard. He also
learned that the package had the appear
ance of having been twice tied up and
this strengthened him in the opinion, as he
knew that the trophy had been shipped to
the office of the adjutant general and
would be repacked there for shipment to
Savannah. He therefore, ordered the
package sent to the Guards club.
The news of the trophy's supposed ar
rival got out and delegation was on
hand to witness its unpacking. Something
of a surprise was occasioned when the ac-
couterments were dragged to light They
were sent to Col. Cam, as inspector gem
eral of the rifle practice of the state, by
his predecessor, Col Obear.
The members of the Sea Girt team are
In daily expectation of the arrival of the
trophy. Unless some red tape proceeding
detans 1t at the Office in Atlanta, it may,
In the natural order of things, be expected
soon, as it was shipped from Washington
several days ago. If the delay continues,
the team will have but short time to en-
JOY the knowledge of the trophy being in
Savannah. unless the members are deter
mined to win it again at the contests next
fall.
Some talk was had of the probable dis
position of the trophy when it arrives. It
Is said that meeting of the team will be
necessary in order for this TO be deter
mined The idea seems to be that it Will
be put on exhibition, probably at Theus
together with all the other prizes that
were won at Sea Grit. After it has been
there some time, tits likely that 1t will be
kept in some one of the military clubs or
displayed at the library of the Historical
society, where the Soldier Of Marathon now
is.

ing Not Yet known.
Aldermen Davis and Krouskoff and
Commissioner of Public Works Willink
spent Tuesday at Daisy in Tattnall coun-
ty, inspecting a bed of hematite gravel
there, owned by Mr. Edwards of that
place. They reported that the gravel ex-
lists in large quantities, but they could
form no idea of its value for paving pur-
poses A lot of 1t has been recently put
down on a road there, but as it had not
been rolled or packed il furnished no idea
of the suitability of the gravel for paving
purposes.
An experiment will probably be made
with some of this gravel next year. If 1T
is a good article for paving a great saving
can be effected as the freight from Daisy
only forty-four miles distant, would be
much less than from Augusta
Alderman Davis has also been promised
several carloads of gravel from another
quarter for paving.

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Matters of Interest to Savannah and
Elsewhere.

Mr.. H. z. Hutchens has been appointed
superintendent of the Atlantic and Dan
VILE railroad, with headquarters at Nor
folk, Va. Mr.. Hutchens was formerly
master of transportation of the Plant sys-
tenn, and was one of the best known and
most capable men in the SYSTEMS employ.
He went from here 10 Atlanta, and while
connected with the Central railroad there,
met with an accident by being caught be,
tween two cars, which, for a long time, 1t
was thought would prove fatal. He final
ly recovered, however, with no III effects
from the accident, and went to the At.
iantic and Danville railroad, of which he
has just been made superintendent.
The passenger department of the Sea-
board Air Line has just issued two new
illustrated books; one entitled Education
in the South" giving a full and complete
list and description Of schools, colleges
and universities along the Seaboard Air
Line the other entitled winter Excur-
sions via Seaboard Air Line" in which ap-
pears descriptive and illustrated sketches
of the numerous winter tourist points
reached via the Seaboard Air Line. An
exceptionally convenient feature of this
book is the arrangement of excursion
rates and routes to the principal Florida
Texas, Mexico ana California resorts
which show considerable reduction in total
rates. especially to Southern Pines, n c..
the famous winter health resort, which
was so well patronized last season. Copies
of these books can be secured by address,

tons, and was admirably played. The au-
dlence was not large, but it laughed heart
lily.
Robert Downing will give two perform
ances to-day-at the matinee "Ingomar"
and at night Samson and Delilah." The
tour of Mr.. Downing this season gives
every indication of proving the most men,
orable in all his experience. His repertoire
is made up entirely of classical plays, and
represents the best in the drama His
company includes well known players, and
the scenic environments are said to be
complete. Mr.. Downing has been seen
here several times in "Ingomar." In pre-
sentlng Samson and Delilah'' he reached
the hight of his ambition, for it is without
question one of the most beautiful plays
he has ever given. The subject is one
that admits of great dramatic force The
wonderful success Samson and Delilah'
achieved in the hands of the great Sal
vini, has never waned, but has always
held its own. and it still shines as bright
as when first the italian audiences APP
plauded it. The author. Ippolito D'Aste,
is a great author, and the translation
which Is now being used by Mr.. Downing
is from the pen of w. Dean Howelis.
Christmas matinee and night Hoyt's "a
Stranger in New York. will be given it's
first presentation here. The play is one
which tells of life of to-day in the me-
tropolis portraying the adventures of
stranger in New York. as it's title would
imply. The stranger is a smooth. we'll
dressed man of the world. perhaps a
drummer for some big concern, who finds
a letter on the floor of the Hoffman house
reception room and hands it to the man
whose address is on the envelope. 1t
proves to be a letter of introduction, and
almost before the stranger knows it, he,
without having a chance to explain, is
taken to lunch and then whirled away
with a number of new friends to the
French ball. Being something of philos-
opher, he accepts the situation and revels
In fhn. The party supposes he is a

he has been there before, and knows the
