Almost n Horrible Accident.

On last Thursday as Mrs. Chas. Chris
man was returning home from town in
her buggy with her daughter Kathleen
and was in the act of crossing the rail
road near her residence, the rear end
of gravel train which was backing up
struck the horse and buggy, capsized
the vehicle and dashed it's occupants
violently to the ground on the side of
the track. That both were not instant
ly killed seems nothing short of mira
Gle, but save some painful bruises
and the awful shock and fright of such
asudden catastrophe, they escaped un-
injured, The buggy was completely
demolished and the horse was so badly
hurt it had to be killed later to end its
suffering,
The street on the west side and the
railroad run parallel some distance be-
fore the crossing Is reached and the
gravel train was backing at a rapid rate
on the switch line next to the street
with no one to give warning of it's ap-
proach. Mrs Chrisman says her horses
front feet were between the rails and
the train almost in the act of striking
him before she was aware of it's pres
ence. With remarkable presence of
mind she instantly reined the horse to
one side, cutting her hands with the
relns In the desperate effort, but at the
same instant the horse and buggy were
struck by the fast approaching gravel
car and dashed in heap to one side
ofthe track, the wreck of the buggy
falling on Mrs. Chrisman and her
daughter.

THE NEED OF YOUNG MEN-THE
DUTY OF THE HOUR.

III asked to name that which is the
almost universal need of young men,
the empnatic reply would be, busi-
ness education.
1t has now reached the point that it
is practically impossible for a young
man to get start in life without it,
and all will doubtless remember the
adage that "a good start is half the
battle" A business education not on
ly gives this good start, but better
ending, for it thoroughly qualities him
to ascend the ladder of promotion and
reach the highest round of success.
In urging young men to attend the
Ga.-Ala. Business College, at Macon,
Ga, under the presidency of Prof E.
l.. Martin, formerly of this State, we
are governed by the fact, it is clearly
to their own individual interest so to do,
for it guarantees to save them time and
money on what is conceded to be the
most thorough course ever devised.
The college guarantees positions
and pays the railroad fare of students
Excellent board and lodging are fur
nished at the very low rate of 50 per
month.

A GREwsoME PRESENT.
Saloon Keepers Find Tombstone in
Their Front Yard.

A Chattanooga, Tenn. special says:
Grimm Bros, leading saloonists of
this city. received a grewsome Christ
mas present this morning in the form
of a tombstone, and thereby hangs a
tale. About two years ago William
Riden. who conducted q cigar factory
city died frnm-ncnte alcohol
ism. Riden had been n drunkard for a
year or more before his death and his
wife had served notices on all the
saloon keepers of the city not to sell
whiskey to her husband under the pen
atty of the law. Grimm Bros. sold Rid
Ell whiskey after the notice, and after
his death the widow brought suit
against them and received Judgment
in the Supreme Court for $1,000.
Pending the decision of the suit, the
saloon men erected q tombstone over
Riden's grave. Yesterday the widow
had the stone removed from the ceme-
terry, and after inscribing It ITO the
murdererS of William Riden," she had
it erected last night in the yard Of the
Grimm Bros. and they found it there
this morning when they went out to
give their Christmas greetings.
The saloonists, it seems, lust before
their property has been tied up so that
the widow has been unable to collect
any part of her Judgment. She. 1t is
said. will begin suit now attacking the
assignment, charging that it Is fraudu-
lent and made to defeat her claim.
The statute law OF this State is very
stringent against the sale OF intoxi-
cants TO drunkard, especially after
notice from any one interested warn
ing the dealers that the party Is an
habitual drunkard. The affair has been
watched with interest all over the
State. and has had a most beneficial eff

to men addicted to it's use.

SITUATION SUMMED UP.
The situation can be summed up thus
shortly: The city to-day is over
crowded, there Is not sufficient water
and what there is is bad, the soil is
impregnated and poisoned with the
accumulations of years and centuries,
and there are no sanitary arrange
mentS such as sewers and drains. The
question can be handled radically and
straight out from the shoulder, in which
case the population Of the tenements
matter can be temporized.
The cleaning of the city is now in the
hands of the City Council. Since the
American occupation they have been
attempting TO do something in the mat
ter. but they clearly lack the ability
to grasp and handle the question. They
nave no idea as to what clean city.

be- None of them has ever been in
timately acquainted with one. At re-
cent meeting of the Council, when this
subject came up for discussion, one
member pompously remarked: Let
us show these Americans that we can
keep this city clean as well as they
can" Insomuch as we have before us
the result of several centuries of their
effort in this direction the remark ap-
pears ridiculous.
The matter OF the sanitation of this
city needs American handling 1t calls
for a North American to run it. 1t is
the purpose of the present American
military authorities to allow the Porto
Ricans to administer, within certain
limitations, their own affairs. Well and
good, but this matter of health, which
affects every American resident in the
capital, should be energetically admin
istered by ali American. 1t is manifest
that u Porto Rican cannot do 1t as it
should be done.
OLD FORTIFICATIONS.
On the northern ridge of the city Of
San Juan is a long line of old Spanish
Notifications. There are walls many
feet thick, broken by embrasures for
cannon and old sentry boxes. In pic
turesque irregularity they stretch along
above the breakers from MORO Castle
on the western end to the old fortress of
San Cristobal on the other This part
of San Juan is the most attractive, 1t
is exposed to the persistent trade winds
and the. ground is the highest In town.

city, but unfortunately It la now occ,i-

New York, Sept. 11.-Forced liuuida-
ton was in evidence all day on the
stock exchange as the consequence of
the efforts of the banks to reduce their
deposit llabllltes by a reduction of
loans. Saturdays bank statement had
prepared the speculative public for some
such development. The continued de-
mand from interior sources for money
and payments for taxes into the sub
treasury to-day confirmed the expecta-
ton. AT various times during the day
the pressure of selling seemed to have
exhausted itself, but the rally in prices
at such times was feeble and the trad
ing became very dull, the demand for
stocks being at minimum. Aside from
