JUMrED INTO ELEVATOR SHAFT.
Verdant Darkey's Faith i'm Mankind
Shaken with His Anatomy.

An incident that might have resulted
seriously happened in the postofice yes
terday morning. A colored man who was
evidently not familiar with the convent
ences of modern buildings, but had hazy
idea that there was such a thing as an
elevator. was standing at the door of the
elevator shaft when one of the employees
in the building passed by him. Say,
boss. how does you git up stairs with his
yere ting" asked the darby.

the man cheerfully, as he passed on never
thinking for a moment that Rastus would
be so simple as to take the advice. But he
was, and his adviser was scarcely out Of
sight down the corridor when he succeed
ed in opening the door, and with sub
lime faith in the truthfulness of mankind
and an exalted opinion OF the ingenuity
of modern inventors, jumped in
Fortunately for him the bottom of the
shaft is only a few feet below the level
of the floor. so his plunge into darkness
resulted only in a slight jar, but as the
elevator was coming down the story might
still have had a disastrous termination,
but for the keen sense of hearing Of the
elevator man, who hearing the moi e made
in the shaft stopped the elevator until the
man could be helped out

Spirits closed firm at the Board of Trade

CITY TO KEEP ESTILL PARK.
MAYOR MYERS THINKS 1T WELL TO
HOLD ON TO 1T.

Is willing for the County to Plant
the Cleared Land in the Park-The
Question of Its DesirnbiIity for
Park Purposes Should BE Settled
by Landscape Gardener and
Typographical Engineer, He
Thinks-A Few Years Hence the
City May Be in Position to Devote
"a Considerable sum of Money to
Its Improvement.
The differences between the city and the
county as to the disposition of Estill Park
may not be settled for some time yet.
Mayor Meyers said yesterday that the
committee of Council, of which he is a
member, will make a report upon the re-
cent interview with the County Commits
sioners at the next meeting of Council
Il think the matter should be allowed
to stand in statu quo for the present"
said the Mayor. IF the county wishes to
make use of the cleared land in the park
the city is entirely willing. We do not
feel justified, however, in giving up the
park simply because Chairman Dale says
it is unfit for park purposes. There may
be a difference of opinion on this point.
AS to whether the land is suitable for
park purposes or not I am not prepared
to say, but 1 think we should have ex
pert testimony on this point before giving
it up"
BY expert testimony, the Mayor said he
meant some one versed in such matters.

biographical engineer should be secured

1T is not necessary that this should be

wait until we can afford TO do The work
thoroughly than to spend little at

meanwhile. we are willing that the county

Mayor Myers said that he had visited
Estill Park twice during the last few
months. OF the 275 acres Of land, about
so per cent, he thought. is what would
be considered high ground in this local
ity. The rest is swampy. The only OBJ
lection the Mayor sees TO the use. of the
site for park purposes is its distance from
the city, being about four miles from the
city limits by way of the Waters road.
1T is true said the Mayor, that the
city has not lived up 10 the letter of the
agreement on which it holds the park from
the county, but I hardly think the county
would resort 10 legal measures to dis
possess the city on this account There
would be no advantage in spending a few

MULES AND STREET CAR.
CoIIided without Doing Any Damage
at Bryan and Whitaker Streets.

A number of persons who stood or were
passing near the corner of Bryan and
Whitaker streets at 6 o'clock yesterday
afternoon saw what narrowly missed be-
ing a serious accident. A pair of mules
and a street car conlded. but the force
of the shock was so slight that no injuries
resulted
The collision, in the opinion of those
WHO witnessed it, was due to the driver
negligence, He was driving his dray east
on Bryan at rapid trot. The streets are
narrow and it was impossible for him to
see the car until he was upon il. He tried
to hold up his team, but the mules were
both on the track when the car reached
them. The motorman Of the car No s.
was doing his utmost to bring it to a
stop. and succeeded, the mules being
barely touched The force OF the contact
was not sufficient to throw them.
The motorman reached over from his
platform and caught one of the mules by
the bride, so close was he to them and
helped the driver back them out of the
way. 1t was a narrow escape for the ami
mails.
