KILLED BY A STREET CAR.
Frances Hooker, CoIOred, Run Over
and Fatally Injured.

Frances Hooker, colored, who lives at
No. s2s Mil street, was run into by a
Savannah, ThunderboIt and Isle OF Hope
car near Bryan and West Broad streets,
yesterday morning, and sustained injuries
which caused her death at O'Clock in the
afternoon. She was bruised about the
chest and Shoulders, but the direct cause
of her death is supposed to have been in
ternal injuries
From the best accounts obtainable il
seems the woman was under the influence
OF whisky which may have had something
10 DO with her getting in the way of the
car. IL is said the car was running at a
moderate rate of speed, but the street car
ofneials insist that the conductor had it
under perfect control, and could have
MADE the stop in time to avert the acct
dent had not the woman reeled onto the
track unexpectedly.
Motorman r. @. Bailey was running car
NO 40 north on West Broad street, and
as he neared st. Julian street the woman
started to cross West Broad. On reach
ing the car track he claimed she stopped.
ana then kept moving along one side of
the track. For that reason he did not
oeheve she wanted to board the car, which
she made no effort to hail. He moved
ms car ahead, and when about even with
the woman, he said she toddled on the
track. He applied the brakes, reversed
the current and used all possible effort to
stop the car.
Before speed could be reduced. however.
the car was about to strike the woman,
ana Bailey reached over the dashboard TO
push her off the track. He succeeded in
getung hold of her dress but not in get
ting her off the track, and as the
car was still moving, she was
knocked to the ground. She was dragged
several feet before the car was stopped.
pelng carried along by the fender. When
released from her position, she was suf-
tering considerable pain, and could not
talk The police ambulance was called.
ana the woman was removed to her home
on MIL street, where she was attended by
Dr. Chisholm and Dr. Elliott. They found
number of severe bruises, a broken rib,
and decided the woman had sustained seri-
Gus internal injuries.
Jen Waters, an attache of Justice Rich
ara Wickham's court, was a witness of
the accident. He says the car was run
ming at lively rate, and that the motor
man failed to sound the gong, when with
IN few feet of the woman. He said the
woman was crossing the street, and had
stopped TO let the car pass.
Supt. Benagh of the car company inves-
tigated the circumstances. He says from
statements mace 10 MN, he is satisfied
the motorman sounded the gong and did
what he could to avert an accident Bal
ley is one of the most reliable men in the
company's employ, he said and he feels
confident no effort was spared to save the
woman. Supt. Benagh directed the COM
pany's physician to call on the woman.
but her relatives. it was stated would not
admit representative from the car COM
pany, and repeated efforts to get informa-
ton failed.
Coroner Goette made an investigation
of the accident, but has not yet held an
inquest.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
Scott Reddy Under Arrest for CUT
ting Son Owens.

thnE SON OWenhs
Scott Reddy is in the barracks on a
charge of stabbing Son Owens. Owens and
chum. John Spivey, are also wanted by
the police. AS a result Of the row in which
these men participated Cant Hartloge has
a pistol wound in his hand The last named
is white; all the rest are negroes.
The difficulty occurred at Hartloge's store
on the Louisville road at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. From the best evidence OBJ
tainable IL seems that the trouble was pro-
vol1ed by Owens and Spivey. who had har-
bored a grudge against Reddy for some
days and started out yesterday with the
avowed intention of beating him
The belligerent parties met at Hartloge' S
store and owens and Spivey began the as
sault on Reddy. The latter had a pistol.
When Reddy was attacked he retaliated
with knife, cutting Owens rather Sc
verefy Hartloge attempted to separate the
negroes and received a bali in the hand
from Spivey's pistol for his trouble Owens
and Spivey escaped, but Reddy was ar
rested and lodged in the barracks There
seems to be no doubt, however that he was
justified in cutting Owens by the latters
previous assault upon him.

BEAR GRASS IN THE SQUARES.
A Third Attempt Has Been Made to
Make IL Grow.

Make IL Grow.
The perseverance shown by the Park
and Tree Commission In It's effort to induce
bear grass to grow in Johnson square de-
serves success. Another crop has just
been put in, and whether 1t will live or
die remains 10 be seen. II 1t shares the
fate of two former attempts It's finish can
be seen.
Putting bear grass In the square was a
good idea, but thus far 1t has proven i'm
practicable. That is. in any good that has
resulted. The grass has been put there
all right. but 1t has never shown any par
ticular inclination to stay. Planted up
rightly and bright and green, the grass
would look promising for a few days, ana
then 1t would droop and seem to pine for
that soil from which il was dug. This
dropping was the beginning of the end or
two crops, and calamity -howlers are pre-
dieting no better success for the commits
sion this time.
The thing has become experimental now
At first oil the corners of Johnson ana
one or two other squares down town were
decorated with the grass. 1t was planted
in sprays. When the sprays had stretched
their lengths on the ground the commits
sion put more men at work and a new
plan was tried. More stalwart growths
were dug from country fields and trans
planted in Johnson square This effort
has proven no more successful, and the
spray system, with ramifications, has been
tried once more

BASE BALL AGAIN.
Savannah's Chances for the Popular
Sport This Year.

1t Is believed by many of the best-posted
enthusiasts of the game that base bah is
an assured fact for Savannah this sea-
son. The gay and festive Office boy, OF
whom so much has been written, is get
ting ready for The season; he has selected
the fence boards with the largest knot
holes and has marked his calendar for the
deaths of the Everything aunt and grand
mother, who always pass away on the
days of the best-played games. Whether
the sport continues for the full season or
not, the cod and ever mournful fact re-
mains that others than the Office boy 3
aunt and grandmother die. The bread
winner of the helpless family crosses the
great divide and leaves his dependent ones
too often thrown on the cold charity of
the world, when just little ordinary fore
sight in the right direction, and honest
concern for his family's welfare could
have comfortably provided against this
