MISSED ONE But HIT ANOTHER.
Farmer Baker of the Immunes
wounded Joseph Ruder.

Farmer Baker of the Immunes
wounded Joseph Ruder.
Farmer Baker of Company L OF the
Sixth Immunes shot Joseph Ruder Of Com
pany d of the same regiment last night
1t Is not thought the man is seriously
wounded.
Particulars of the shooting were difficult
to obtain. The provost marshal had re-
ceived no report of the difficulty. nor had
the police been informed of just how ID
had occurred. From the best evidence
that could be gained ii seems that Baker,
who had been drinking, was angered by
some other man. He shot at him, but
missed, and hit his comrade, Ruder, in
stead The bullet, which was from a pis-
toll struck Ruder in the stomach and
made a flesh wound, apparently. The
wounded man was taken to the Savannah
Hospital, where the house physician, DIR.
Harmon, stated that. judging from the
first examination he had made, the injury
was but a flesh wound. Ruder was rest
ing easily at the time the inquiry was
made, and DR.. Harmon did not believe a
further examination would show that the
ban had penetrated the body.
Baker was arrested by a member of
Company l. of the Third Connecticut,
which is posted near the Bolton street sta
ton of the Savannah, Thunderbolt and
Isle of Hope Railway. His case will
probably be looked into to-day.

sumo Command of the Post.
Col. Alex Rogers of the Third Connecti-
cut Regiment will return to-day from
Tampa, where he went to submit a report
upon a matter he was appointed some time
since to investigate. During his absence
from the city the command of the post
devolved upon the senior major of the
regiment, Mai. Kirkland.
Some remark has been occasioned by Col.
Laurence ID. Tyson of the Sixth Immunes
not having assumed command of the Sa-
vannah post, as he is senior officer here.
His rank would entitle him to the com
mand and he would be i'm charge of the
forces were it not that his regiment is
to be mustered out of the service and
the department, therefore, regards the
duty as one that should devolve upon an
officer of a regiment that has not been
designated as one of those that are 90 be
discharged Col. Tyson's commission was
received long before Col. Rogers appoints

WALKED OUT OF THE CAGE.
A Loose Plank Allowed Singers Es-
cape.

cape.
Some new facts in connection with the
eseape of the prisoner William Singer from
provost headquarters have leaked out in
the last day or two. Strenuous efforts TO
effect the recapture of Singer have been
made by the officers and men of the pro-
vost guard, but with an entire lack of sue
cess. The man has apparently vanished
like a dream in the night" and without
money or friends in the city and managed
TO reach some more congenial locality
When a Morning News reporter asked
Cant. Beach, on the night of Singers es-
cane. how il had been effected he answer
ed that he did not know. 1t now trans
pires that one of the lower planks of the
cage i'm which the prisoners at headquar-
ters are confined had become loose and
that Singer simply pushed it aside and
walked out. Once on the outside of the
cage he found that some obliging friend
had opened the door at the corner of Bull
and President streets and escape was easy.
Four members of the provost guard, one
of them the sentry on duty with the pris-
oners. have been under arrest since the
escape for either actively or passively per-
hitting It. 1t is thought that some mem
Der of Singers company had opened the
outer door, but the particular individual
has not been located

DIR. j. ID. HawthOrne's Lecture at the
First Baptist Church.


DR.. J. B. Hawthorne of Nashville deliv-
cred at the First, Baptist Church last
night, his lecture upon "Iho worlds
Great Orators" A large audience heard
the speaker with almost GREATNESS inter
est, and his concluding words With pro-
found regret. The lecture was brilliant
effort, strong in its logic, virile and power
full in its descriptive elements, polished
and beautiful in its rhetorical construc-
ton.
The great orators of all times were re-
viewed by DR.. Hawthorne, and his lecture
was illustrated by incidents in the lives
and passages from their speeches. Demos
themes and Cicero, Chatham and Burke,
Henry, Webster, Clay and Calhoun were
in turn the subjects of his eulogy. The
orators of the pulpit, the forum and the
bar passed in procession before his audi
ence, the. masters of logic and invective,
of rhetoric and passion, Illuminated and
made plain all by the speakers own power
of eloquent description.
81 might tell you," DIR. Hawthorne said,
sweep of the Alpine avalanche. in INJECT
i've like the fiery Nominations Of Vesu-
vius, in magnifcenee, like showers of
shooting stars, and in pathos like the song
of the dying swan, but such a description
would not convey to you an adequate i'm
preston of their matchless power
Some men have the eloquence of reason
of irresistible logic. Some have the elo-
quence of imaginaton-the power of. Great
ing great word pictures. Some have the
eloquence of conviction, and can communi-
cate the deep emotions of their own hearts
to the hearts of their auditors. Others
have the eloquence of manner, of voice
and action. The speakers who have COM
bned these four elements of oratorical
power may he counted on your fingers.
Demosthenes combined them; and so did
Cicero, and Mirabeau and Chatham. But
Greece had but one Demosthenes, Rome
but one Cicero, France but one Mirabeau
and England but one Chatham"
The conclusion of DR.. Hawthorne's lee
ture was glowing and eloquent tribute
to the matchless Grady. "Oh, Grady!
Grady! Child of genius! Patriot Philan-
thropist! Cnristianl There shall rise a
higher monument to commemorate thy
worth than that which stands in the
streets of Atlanta. When the common
wealth which gave the birth has fully re-
covered from all the wounds of war and
exchanged the spirit of heaviness for the
garment of praise; when her star has be-
come the brightest in all our federal con-
stellation; when the Old South has become
indeed, New South in every element of
strength, dignity and happiness; when the
growing spirit of fraternity, which thou
didst foster has consumed the last relic
of sectional hate, when this American re.
public of confederated states shall have
reached the era of national glory which ap-
peared to thee in a vision of the night,
and when over all shall wave in resplend-
ant beauty. the white ensign of Temper
ance, Purity and Brotherhood-then shall
be reared a monument worthy of thy vir.
tue, thy deeds, thy genius, and thy fame. '

HAS A VERY MARROW ESCAPE
soren simminson Is Buried in "a Clay
Bank and Rescued Just
In Time.

Soren Simminson owes his escape from
death solely 10 chance. For more than an
hour last night he lay crushed beneath a
huge heap OF earth from a caying bank, I'M
able to move a muscle or utter a cry. AT
the time the hillside fell there was no one
near to aid him and even If there had been
Simminson was unable to make known his
predicament.
His discovery and the rescue from the
sarcophagus of clay were due to a mishap to
one of three boys at play. The little fell
low was running along the edge CT the en-
bankment when he slipped aud rolled off.
The fall was seyeraf feet, but the earth was
soft and when the lad picked himself up to
rejoin his playfellows, he observed Simmin-
not covered by dirt.
The three boys ran for help. They found
John Medium, who procured shoyels and
picks, and witt these implements Medium
and his boy helpers dug Simmlnscn out Of
his tomb of earth unconscious.
BY dint Of careful attendance the injured
man was revived and carried to his home,
Eighteenth and Fort streets.
The bank where the accident occurred Is In
Corner Brothers brickyard, Nineteenth and
Hickory streets. Slmminson was alone at
work excayating, The part Of the bank
which fell was enormous, but the workman
was not directly beneath il. The loose earth
covered him almost completely and fell with
enough force to render him unconscious
The attending physician said Simminson's
chief injury was due to suffocation. There
were several severe bruises about the back,
but the man will recover.
