have the advantage of the work that
is now being done by the great crowd
now going in.
However. most people who have
started are so enthusiastic they will
never turn back. A few have, never
theless, given up the fight for gold
and have come home. Yesterday one
young man. the son of a leading
lawyer, arrived here from thee Chill
coot Pass. His name is Hill Hudson
and he is a very sick young man. He
was fitted out with fine outfit and
his parents were reluctant in allowing
the boy to go. He is seventeen years
of age and of athletic build. But
packing an outfit across the noun
tains was too much for him. His
kidneys were affected SO much that it
would probable have killed him to
have continued the journey. In pack
ing an outfit of half ton which is an
eighteen months supply, across the
mountain passes man has to walk
thirty miles for every mile of head
way made. In other words the gold
hunter would travel over the pass
thirty times in getting their outfit
over. This is killing to those not
strong and healthy. Some camp by
the side of the trail and watch the
struggling -be-millionairs
trudge past. Some, like young Hud-
son. turn back. Some sell their out
fits and secure work as laborers in the
mills of Alaska hoping thereby to
save what money they have and start
north again in the spring. But all
could have saved themselves trouble,
loss of money and outfits if they had
simply accepted the warning of those
who knew the real conditions and had
deferred going to the Klondike until
next February or March.
But there are exceptions to all rules.
Today a party of California mines
left Tacoma for Skaguay and Dyea at
the head of the passes. They know
''their business" so to speak They
know all about mines and mining.
They know all about Alaska and still
they are going at this unfavorable
season. Why: Because they can
travel where tenderfeet will fall by
the wayside. They can select the
pass that offers the least resistance.
Perhaps they will select the Copper
river route and prospect along its
shores all winter. Even if they can
not reach Dawson City by way of the
much travelled passes this winter they
will prospect wherever they are.
They can get along anywhere and
they represent q ..sYndicate' which
expects them to work all the time
and keep agoing somewhere These
men. for Instance, did not buy their
outfits until they had visited all the
Puget Sound cities. They found
goods % per cent cheaper in Tacoma
than in California. They bought only
such articles as are absolutely neces-
sary for years stay in the diggings.
Their list was made up about as fol-
lows:

BOSTON'S LAST GAME.

Charleston Tomorrow.

Will Play Savannah and Go to
Charleston Tomorrow.
Boston and Savannah will pay the third
game of the series this afternoon, and as
Boston leaves for Charleston tomorrow,
it will be the last. 1t was the intention of
Manager Selee to play five gaines, but one
of them was prevented by rain and the
other was scheduled for next week.
OF the two games played Boston was
victorious in one and Savannah in one and
to-day's game is the rubber. Both teams
want to win the series and the game will
be for blood. Camel says the Colts have
not been seen at their best yet, and predicts
that they Will run away from the big
team to-day
The regulars did not like the idea of the
colts winning Tuesday, and will put UP the
stifIest kind of game to down them to-
day.
Jim Connolly of Boston, who for several
years lived in Savannah. will give an ex-
hibition of jumping during the afternoon
Mr.. Connolly is one of the best known
athletes in the country. He holds the
record for hop, step and jump and is a
high and broad jumper as well.
The team put in some good work at the
Catholic Library Association gymnasium
yesterday. The rain kept them from do
ing any work at the park, but they played
several practice games of indoor base ball
and the life the big fellows put in them
was intense.
The team has taken greatly to the in
door game and though many of the play
ers have never played it before, they like
it very much.
The game will be called at o'clock and
Mr.. Charles O'Byrne will umpire. Ad-
mission will be % cents and grandstand

CARE OF THE CASTS.
Telf"ir Academy Committees Report
on Director Brandfs Work.

on Director Brandts Work
The board of managers of the Georgia
Historical Society met yesterday after
noon at $50 o'clock, at the Telfair Acad-
envy of Arts and Sciences. 1t was the
regular monthly meeting of the board,
which always Immediately precedes the
monthly meeting of the historical society
The board received the report of the
committee on the Telfair Academy,
through its chairman, Col. John Screven.
The report embodied briefly the condition
of the paintings and statuary of the acad-
envy. The works of art were shown to
be in a most creditable condition, Director
Carl l.. Brandt being complimented on the
excellent skill and artistic sense he has
displayed in cleaning and restoring the
casts in the cast room. Their long abode
in the academy had covered them with n
coating of dust and dirt that only the most
careful cleaning woelld successfully and
safely remove. There are some forty
of these casts, and nearly
all of them have been cleansed by Mr.
Brandt. This is a difficult task, as the
utmost care has to be exercised, and the
entire figures thoroughly soaked in wa
ter in order that the dirt of years may be
forced out Of the pores.
The thorough work done has left those
that have been cleaned perfectly white,
and the casts are now in even better con-
dition than they were when procured
from Europe When first made, the juno
lions of the various parts were indicated
by seams, where they had been Joined TO-
gether. Rough edges were left, that de-
tracted from the delicate and even APP
pearance OF other portions, but in their
restored condition these roughencd places
no AZ
ed by careful work and the casts through
out are smooth and even and of a snowy
whitencss.
With this decided improvement in the
cast now and the paintings in their usual
excellent condition, the works of art in
the academy are said to be in most per-
feet state than ever before. The
work on the casts viii not
be completed with their cleansing. Next
fall a preparation, a sort of varnish, will
be put on them as a preventive against
another such accumulation as has just
been removed. This stuff will close the
pores of the plaster and so effect the casts
that they may be washed without trou-
BILE. The Varnish cannot be applied till the
fall. as the plaster takes months to dry
thoroughly, and the application cannot be
made upon wet surface.
The board of managers will have its
monthly report in readiness to be rendered
the Historical Society at its meeting Mon
day night.
DR. William II. Elliott by request OF the
board, will read at that meeting a paper
on Mushrooms" a subject TO which he
has devoted considerable study There
were present at the meeting Vice President
John Screven, who presided in the abb
sence of President Henry r. Jackson,
Judge w. D. Harden, Col. George A. Mer-
Ger, Col ]. II. NJ. Clinch. Col. j. r. Saus-
sy, Mr.. OTIS Ashmore. Mr.. William Har-
den and Mr.. IL. =. Smart.

RAILROADS TO Be UNDER FIRE.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE. COMMITS
SION IN SESSION HERE MONDAY.

The Complaints of the Savannah
Freight Bureau Charging Unjust
and Arbitrary Rates and Discrimi-
nhtiOns to he Heard-AII the Rail-
roads in This Section Interested.
The Complaint Against the Louis
Vile and Nashville of Most Inter-
est.
The interstate commerce commission
will convene in the United States court
room Monday morning at 10 o'clock for
the hearing of complaints filed with the
commission by the Savannah Bureau Of
Freight and Transportation.
Hon. William r. Morrison of Illinois,
chairman of the commission, and Hon.
Judson C. Clements of Georgia, will be
among the commissioners in attendance.
There are five commissioners, appointed
from different sections of the union, and
at least three will be at the session here.
The hearing is of especial Importance
to Savannah, as it will most likely re-
suit in the removal of barriers and re
strictions to its trade, which have been
unjustly erected by some of the railroads
determinations against the port, said to
be practieed by other railroads.
The most important complaint is that
against the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, which has effectually barred Savan-
nah merchants out of the territory along
its Pensacola and Atlantic division by
most unusual and arbitrary system of
he in, oo- !,
very carefully gathered by Capt. d. G..
Purse, commissioner of the freight bureau,
and the allegations will be fully supported
by the array of facts.
The second complaint charges the rail-
roads centerng al Savannah and their
connecting lines with discriminating
against Savannah on fertilizer rates. All
OF the railroads in this section are includ-
ed in the complaint. The companies have
been cited to produce all their schedules
of rates, fares and charges, and tariffs in
force during the period between Oct. l.
1896, and April s. 1897 on fertilizers, per ton
and carload, between large number of
points in this section. If they comply with
this order there will be mass of docu-
ments on hand, which would require
month at least to examine.
The third complaint is against the
Charleston and Savannah railway and
charges discrimination in passenger fares
and excessive rates, between Charleston
and Savannah.
The evidence in all three of the com
plants has been carefully gathered by
Capt. Purse. 1t will be his first appear
ance before the interstate commerce com
mission, but if he meets with the same
success before that body that he has met
with before the Georgia commission the
railroads may well tremble for their
safety.

FIREMAN GRADY,s WOUNDS.
His Injuries More Serious Than at
First Supposed,

Fireman Hugh Grady of engine No.
LAP, which pulled freight train No. 42,
east bound, that ran into the washout
Wednesday night on the Central road be-
tween Tennille and Oconee, was reported
as resting easily yesterday.
His injuries were more serious than
were at first supposed, the most serious
being in the region of the liver. That in
jury is giving the greatest trouble, but
there are others about the head, the back
and arms that make his condition Sc
rious. He is now at his home on West
Broad street, near Han.
The debris Of the wreck had all been
cleared away yesterday afternoon the
track repaired and trains were running
on schedule time The engine which pull
ed the Inflated train, has been put back
on its wheels and will be pulled into Sa-
vannah to-day. The freight cars were
badly splintered and crushed. Conductor
Alonzo Branan of the wrecked train was
down yesterday and related the story Of
the wreck He said that the crash came
absolutely without warning, while he and
the fiagman, J. w. Bridger We're in the
caboose. The engines fall into the wash
out was followed by three Jars, one fol-
lowing the other in quick succession. The
first OF the shocks threw the men against
the end of the cab, the second pitched
them to the floor and the third slid them
forward on the floor against the cars end
again. AS soon as they could
recover themselves they groped their way
through the pitchy darkness, for the
shock had put out all the lights, and gain
ed the outside. They ran up the track
then to the washout When they reached
the piled up engine and cars. it became
task to loc6 te and release the engineer and
fireman.
Engineer Ryan had been thrown
through the cab window of his engine and
chung to a support in the waist deep water,
though almost overcome by the wounds
he had received and the shock. He was eX-
tricated, and then Fireman Hugh Grady
was found and drawn to the banks. Their
careful search failed to find the body of
the brakeman, Joel S. Bragg, and they
then decided that the conductor should go
to the nearest station to wire news of the
disaster.
His walk up the track to Oconee, four
miles away was made In quick time. The
experience was one that Conductor Bra
nan will not care to participate in again,
and the gruesome horrors will be long re-
membered.
