EDGAR DENMARN's SAD DEATH.
Suffered From MeIanchOlia Due to
Bad Health.

The sad news of the death of Edgar
Denmark at the home of his father, near
Quitman, was received in Savannah with
deep and general sorrow. But a few short
weeks ago he was in Savannah and though
he has never been very strong, he seemed
in good health and in the best of spirits.
During the summer he went to the
mountains of North Georgia for his health,
where he remained until called home on
business. Some weeks ago he took a trip
to New York on account of his health and
there consulted a physician, who formerly
lived in Savannah. He was told that he
was suffering from catarrh of the intes-
tines, a complaint which he seemed 90
consider incurable. He returned to Sa>
vannah and after day or two decided to
go to his home at Quitman to recuperate
He had been at home only three weeks
Tuesday about noon he left the house
and was thought to have gone over to the
home of Mr.. b. A. Denmark, his uncle,
who has also been spending some time
there. In the afternoon it was learned that
such had not been the case, and a search
disclosed the sons dead body to the father
just before sunset.
Mr.. Denmark had been brooding no lit
tie over his physical condition, and seemed
to think at times that he could not live
long. Now and then his constant thought
Upon his condition, which, it is said, was
not near so bad as he considered it, carried
him into a state of melancholia and dis
traction.
Edgar Denmark was a lovable charac-
ter, a true and devoted friend, high-mind-
ed and possessed of a bright intellect and
rare legal mind. He stood among the first

SCHOOL CHILDREN HURT.
Falling Plaster in Barnard Street
School Breaks an Arm.


school Breaks an Arm.
Three children were injured by falling
plaster at the Barnard Street School yes
terday morning. a few minutes before 9
o'clock. They We're Fanny Hoffman, whose
right arm was broken just above the ell
bow; Sylvan Byck, whose head was pain
fully cut, and a young girl named Griffith,
who received a cut behind the ear. One or
two others received slight bruises.
The children were all members of the
first grade. The class was seated in read
mess for the opening of the regular school
work for the day when a mass of heavy
plastering, five feet by three. dropped
without warning. The injured children
screamed and ran to the teacher Miss
Annie Harmon, who Immediately gave the
signal for the children to leave the room.
Despite the alarm the little ones fell into
line and quietly marched from the build
ing, quite number of them sneezing from
the lime dust which had filled the air
Miss Harmon called in Principal p. f.
Brown, who took the Hoffman child to Ter
home, accompanied by one of the school
boys, who was sent for DR.. Waring. The
physician stated that the fracture was a
simple one, and the bone would soon knit
together. The other injured children went
home and had their cuts dressed.
No session of the class was held, as 1t
was feared more of the plastering might
drop and injure others.
The room occupied by the class is on
the first floor, and escaped injury from
the recent storm, which tore off part of the
roof of the school building. The plaster
ing was not wet at that time, and to all
appearances was perfectly safe. Before
the schools opened an expert plasterer was
sent through the building, and pronounced
the ceilings an good condition. The accident
was one that could not be anticipated or
prevented by any possible foresight. SUI
perintendent Ashmore will have the room
examined again, and if necessary all of the
ceiling plastering will be removed. The
other rooms will also be examined again,
although there is no reason to believe that
the plastering in any of them is weak

One of the objects of Mr.. Falls visits
is to look after the street railroad service
in handling the large crowds on several
OF the lines, due to the presence of the
two military camps near the city
I'VE are trying now" Mr.. Fall said,
ito put in some more switches on the Dale
avenue line, so that there will be no trou-
bic in running TO the First Division camp
all the cars necessary to carry the people.
Then, too, we intend to arrange at once
a through car for Thunderbolt for the
benefit of the patrons of the line who live
out there. This car will not stop at the
camps, but will be put on especially for
the people of Thunderbolt, and those who
i've near there on the line
Many of the patrons of the
line have been greatly Inconvenience
by the crowding of the soldiers, and we
desire to obviate this.
1T is the intention of the company TO
give the people the very best service posi-
bic, and we will see that it is done, If we
have to put on all the cars in the shop.
The lack of switches on the Dale avenue
line has been one of the main difficulties
and 1 think we will soon get rid of that
We are now running through cars from
the city to the Dale avenue camp without
change, and other Improvements will
quickly follow"

WILL Be OVER SIX THOUSAND.
COL. TESTERS MAJORITY INCREAs-
ED BY RETURNS FROM BURKE.

MyricIS Received One Vote in That
County But Got 400 in TattnaII.
Col. lester Satisfied with the Re-
suit in the First District, But Dis
appointed at the Vote in the Coun-

aged, He Says, by Nebraska's Re
publican Turn.
Congressman Lester received word from
Burke county yesterday that he had re-
ceived $50 votes in that county to one for
Mr.. Myrick. The dispatch did not state
who the solitary individual was who had
cast his ballot for the independent candi-
date. Tattnall county gave Lester SIS and
Myrick All. TattnaI and Screven counties
were regarded as Myrlck's strongholds.
The complete official returns from all the
counties are expected in by mail to-day.
Col. Lester is well satisfied with the
vote in the First district, the probability
being that his majority would pass 5000
Al the same time, he is somewhat disap-
pointed at the result in the country at
large, having been hopeful that the Demo-
Gratis would make some decided gains.
There's no use in trying TO explain cleo
ton results" he said yesterday. "They
are just like predictions, of little value.
People take it into their heads to vote
one way or another. What influences one
man doesn't influence another. Local con-
ditions get in their work. personal feelings
have their play many other things enter
into a campaign besides political princi-
pies. My explanation would be different
from some other mans. Let's talk about
something else"
''Well, colonel, how will it affect Col.
Bryan? Won't he be injured, weakened
politically, by his state going Republi-
can?"
mo, 1 don't see ii in that light. Col.
Bryan is superior to local circumstances
like that He is too big a man to be ruin
ed or damaged by the shifting currents
Of politics in Nebraska. Col. Bryan is a
national, not a local figure. While. re-
gret to see his state, or any other, forsake
a good thing and return to the arms of
the Republicans, I don't believe Mr.. Bry-
an will suffer thereby"

MAY CHANGE PROVOST REGIMENT
Gen. Douglas Asks That Fourth ILL.,
DOis BE Relieved.

DOis Be Relieved.
An effort is being made to have the
Fourth Illinois Regiment relieved from
provost duty. The command has been de-
tailed for this work for six weeks, and
some of the officers of the corps regard
the time for its relief as having arrived.
A letter was received yesterday at the
office of the adjutant general of the corps
from Gen. H. It. Douglas, in whose brig
ade the Fourth Illinois is. In his letter
Gen. Douglas asks that the regiment be
relieved from provost duty, assigning as
his reason for the request that continual
ton In the performance of the work will
unfit the command for other military SER
vice.
The request of the general may get the
regiment relieved from the duty. 1t is
thought that return to the drills and
usual routine of the soldier in camp would
prove beneficial to the regiment, and it
is desired to let some other have a chance
at the provost duty.
Acting as guards in the city Is not re-
garded by those who do so as an arduous
duty. In fact, it Is said the majority of
the members of the Fourth are very well
satisfied and that they would prefer to he
retained where they are. They are relieved
from the drills that are a source of some
OF the trials of soldiers life as long
as they act as provost guards, and they
are not anxious to get back to them The
tour of duty is for twenty-four hours but
they are off for the next twenty-four
They are on guard two hours during their
tour and are off four. They get to see a
great deal that escapes those who are out
al the camps most of the time, and there
is little tinge of excitement to be gained
from the work.
