LIVE WIRES HANGING Low.

Ac cident to Cross wires Put Pedes-
trians' Lives in Danger for n Time.
The danger of the overhead wires was
again demonstrated yesterday afternoon
when cross wire supporting the main
wire of the electric railroad running
through the city market broke from it's
fastenings and dropped, pulling out of
place at the same time the cross wire at
Whitaker and st. Julian streets.
The wires dropped until within about
five feet from the ground and where they
crossed other wires frequent streams of
electric sparks gave warning that they
were essentially live" and able to Sc
verely shock If not kill outright One or
more pedestrians had close calls on
Whitaker street until a policeman station
ed himself at the corner to warn passers-
by of the wire. 1t was nearly an hour be-
fore the wires We're Strengthened out In
the meantime traffic was suspended on
several branches of the system. If the
accident had happened on a dark night
a life might have been lost.

Houston street from Bun to Whitaker
streets Is about finished l was the
quickest job Of the kind ever done in this
city and reflects credit on Commissioner
Willink and his street paving force Il
took three days to put down the brick.
This paving gives hard roadway around
the park and the parade ground. To make
1t a comfortable drive. however the cob
blestone paving on Whitaker street from
New Houston to CASTOR should be replaced
with asphalt or brick, and then If the

Central Railroad Shifting Engine
Ran Over His Body.
Patrick Gallaher, aged 70 years, an en-
ploye of the Central Railroad for years.
was killed near the rosin sheds yesterday
afternoon. He was run over by a shift
ing engine, which was upon him before
he knew 1t. The tender passed over his
body, killing him instantly.
Coroner Goette investigated the killing
He said ii is not definitely known whether
Mr.. Gallaher stumbled and fell, after
which the engine ran upon him, or wheth-
er ii knocked him to the ground. AT any
rate. he did not consider it proper for
an inquest to be held.
For years Gallaher has been a utility
man about the wharves. His duties con-
sisted of sweeping and doing other odd
jobs around the yards. His long service
there had made him well known to all the
employees, by whom he was liked. His
funeral will take place from his late resi-
dence. No. 534 Jones street, east, at 8
o'clock this afternoon.

To Be Freight Commissioner Entails
Too Much Sacrifice.
Capt d. G. Purse, commissioner of the
Savannah Freight and transportation Blu
reau, has decided to enter the insurance
business on his own account, and if the
bureau is continued 1t VIII be necessary to
seek another commissioner. Capt Purse
has accepted the agency of the Prudential
Insurance Company, and will remain in
lavannah. lie had been rendered q lucra-
tive position away from Savannah. but
was averse to severing, even temporarily,
the ties that bound him here.
1t is generally understood among Capt.
Purses personal friends that he sewers
his connection with The freight bureau
from financial reasons. Last year the sal
airy of Abe commissioner was 1880. This
year il is said to be doubtful if he will
receive as compensation $2,4C0, which he
regards too small salary. Out
side of this there Is too much
uncertainty about he bureaus con-
tlnuance. and arrangements as to a COM
missioner and his salary. The arrange
ment has been from year TO year While
he has said lite or nothing publicly in
regard TO the matter it IS understood thai
Capt. Purse has declined two or three
excellent offers in the past Two years. one
being from Washington, with fine sal
airy attached. While his interest has been
in the work of the bureau, and as com
missioner, II is stated that Capt Purse
has informed his flsnds that he cannot
continue 10 sacrifice his personal financial
in erests by retaining the office.

PAYING OFF THE TROOPS.
Work Begun Yesterday and VIII Be
Continued To-day.


Continued To-day.
The paying off Of the troops of the
Seventh Army Corps will now go merrily
on. New tens, fives. twos and ones will
be as common In town as nickels for
time, and the rustic of the crisp notes
will be as sweet music to the soldiers and
20 those with whom they spend them.
Pay day in the army is great institu-
ton alike to the soldier and the mer-
chant.
Probably never an its history was Sa-
vannah so flooded with bills of small de-
nomination before the coming of the pay
masters last month. The paying tellers
at the banks said the influx of the bills
surpassed anything they had ever seen.
There will be a repetition of the eXper-
ience this month.
Great stacks of the long green" are on
hand with the paymasters. Il is crisp and
new, just from the treasury az Washing
ton. A guard detail is on hand at the
Marshall, where the paymasters have
their Offices and watch and ward is kept
over the treasures.
There must have been 1000 men paid
off yesterday. The First North Carolina
men got their money. and also the detach-
ments in the city on provost duty. The
paymasters also visited headquarters and
paid off the men who work under Col.
Maus. chief surgeon of the corps. The
detailed force and employees of the emer-
gency hospital in the city also received
their pay.
Both of the division hospital forces will
get paid off to-day. One regiment will
also be paid Which one this will be could
not be ascertained last night, but The pay
masters said it viii not be the Second IL
linois or the One Hundred and Sixty-first
Indiana. The Second Illinois is to board
a transport Thursday, so it is probable
that it and the One Hundred and Sixty
first will be paid off tomorrow. The men
of the signal corps will get their money
to-day.
