Collision

driver for Smith & Kelly, was arrested
yesterday for running into Mr. A. f. Flint,
CT a bicycle, a. Drayton and CASTOR
streets. Mr.. Sam Ross called at the bar
racks shortly dter the boy was taken
there and gave bond for his appearance

seemed possible for either party to have
avoided by care. Jackson was driving
west on CASTOR street, while Mr.. Flint was
riding east. They collided at the corner
Mr.. Flint being thrown from his bicycle
and sustaining painful injuries, the extent
Of which cannot be determined until they
develop. The wheel was damaged consid-
erably. Mr.. Flint was taken to his
home, No. 400 Duffy street, east, where
his injuries were given medical attention
Jackson made a statement about the ac-
cident He claims he thought Mr.. Flint
intended turning into the bicycle path on
the east side of Forsyth Park In some
way, however, it seems he rode into Dray-
ton street, probably TO lake another route.
By this the negro claims he msjudged the
bicyclists course, and therefore was OH
him before the buggy's speed was check
ed. After the accident he drove off rap

TO Barnard at a lively pace, turning into
Barnard and then into Charlton street
lane. He was closely pursued and his

FELL BETWEEN THE CARS.
Brakeman on the Plant system Ter
rfbIy Crushed,

George S. Austin, a brakeman of the
Plant System, fell between the cars of
an outgoing train yesterday about II 80
o'clock and is thought to have been ia
tally injured He is at the Savannah Hos
pital, his left leg being badly shattered
and both hands cut in various places, to
say nothing of internal injuries.
Austin was on a run to Charleston. The
train on which he was bral1ing got under
some speed and had nearly reached the
Gwinnett street crossing. where it seems
Austin started to go from one car to the
other. 1t Is thought he must have mis-
judged the distance. or that slack was
jerked from the cars and caused them to
spread just as Austin was about to step
them. He fell between the cars near Gwin-
nett street and at a point where there
have been other accidents recently. The
result was that he suffered by having the
wheels of car pass over him.
Policeman Brantley was among the
first 10 reach Austin and the barracks
was Informed at once. The ambulance was
sent out and the injured man was remov-
ed to the Savannah Hospital, by order of
DR.. King Wylly, surgeon of the Plant Sys-
TEN. All possible attention was given him
when he arrived there, and on account of
the severe shock to which he was subject
ed, no operation was performed. 1t will
be necessary to amputate the leg how
ever. and that will probably be done this
morning by Or. Wylly Austin's home is
in Charleston

Capt. Carter Was NOminnIIy Under
Arrest Within Chatham County.
All but seven of the officers of the court
martial had taken their departure yes
terday, and those remaining, including
Gen. Otis and Col. Barr Will leave the
city this afternoon by the Florida Central
and Peninsular Railroad for New York.
Capt Carter left the city for New York
yesterday at noon. He would have gone
the night before, but for the fact that
permission had first to be secured from
the war department While on trial he is
nominally under arrest within the limits
of Chatham county, hence the necessity
for this permission. At first he was
nominally under arrest within the city
limits as Is usual in such cases, but upon
application those limits were extended so
as to take in the entire country. This is
one of the little formalities always OBJ
served in cases of this kind
NO one seems to know anything more
about what Col. Barr is going 10 present
TO the court in New York than has been
known heretofore, though there is much
speculation on the subject. The court viii
meet in the army building there next
tuesday, and Is expected to be ready TO re-
turn to Savannah by the end of the week.
