ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

George Wick of Manitowoc Rapids
was accidentally shot on Saturday last
by his brother Frank, while out shooting
rabbits. 1t was the result of careless
ness in handling firearms and excitement
at the sudden appearance of rabbit.
The young men were about II feet apart,
carrying their guns cooked so as to be
ready for rabbit should one appear
The dog did start one up and Frank in
his excitement to get his gun to bear
handled the trigger and the gun was
discharged. The charge passed through
Georges right thigh N the front, though
not deep and tore away the feshy part
of the left thigh which it entered much
deeper The accident occurred about
six miles out on the Calumet road. The
loss Of blood was so great that DIR. Pat
chen feared the femoral artery was in
iured. But an examination showed
that the charge came perilously near, but
fortunately neither the large vein or art
cry was injured.
The young men are sons of Frank
Wick who was formerly a resident of
this city. George is 90 years old and
Frank is his senior. A singular circum-
stance is that George Wick and young
Drumm who was shot some weeks ago,
while out hunting rabbits are chums.
The wounds are almost identical vii h |
the exception that in Drumm's case the
charge went to the rear of the femoral
artery, and with Wick to the front, the
artery barely escaping in each case.
Young Wick is doing well and will
come out all right, though the muscles |.
of his thigh are fearfully lacerated. 1t
is speaking to the winds to urge caution
in handling firearms.

BOTH WANT PRIVILEGES.
Council Committee Heard Applicants

Of Council. of which Alderman
James NJ Dixon is chairman,
gave the rival claimants for street rail-
way franchises a hearing at the City EN-
change day before yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. ]. S. Collins and Mr.. D. b. Lester
were both present. and offered rea-
sons to the committee to show why the
franchise should be granted them. Mr..
Frank Oliver was also in attendance, be-
ing associated with Mr.. Lester In the ef-
fort to secure the franchise for the Yer
non company.
Both Mr.. Collins and Mr.. Lester desire
privileges on Bay, Price and Montgomery

to be no difficulty, as their plans do not
contemplate both building on any other
thoroughfares.
The committee was called upon to give
ear 10 quite an array of argument and
counter argument, while objections from
various property owners to franchises be-

NELL ON COTTON CROP.
Report to English Trade Indirectly
Caused Jump in Futures.


1t was a happy day for the bulls in the
cotton market yesterday. New York fu-
lures advanced from 16 to IS points, the
greatest gains being in the July and Au-
gust options each Of which went up 96.
October and November advanced IS, Sep
TENDER II, and all others 16 points The
advance in Liverpool was the primary
cause of the jump on this side.
The advance across the water is a re-
sponse to the first hand shown by NELL
of New Orleans This season. In a report
to the English trade he says the fields in
many sections of the cotton belt have
been abandoned, and that the outlook for
big crop is anything but promising
The fact that he has taken this stand at
this time tends to confirm many pre-
vious reports from the belt of damage to
the plant The effect of a report of this
sort in Liverpool was to create much I'M
easiness among the bearish element
From the general run of opinions ex-
pressed in Savannah and elsewhere as to
this years cotton yield It seems that
Neil will be in accord with the ma iority
of the Southern trade in the stand he has
taken. His next promulgation will, of
course, be looked for with interest.

NO SERVICES rendered.
Savannah Companies Have Not Yet
Considered the War Question.

Savannah Companies Have Not Yet
Considered the War Question.
No Savannah military comand has yet
made a tender of its services for the war
in China. The probabilities are that no
such tender will be made from this city
until call for volunteers is made. if such
is to be the outcome of the troublous
times.
No city in the state sent as many SOL
diers TO the army as did Savannah during
the war with Spain. yet there was not
single command that rendered services
before the call for volunteers. Indeed,
there was not a city in the Unitd States,
in proportion to the size of Savannah, that
sent as many soldiers.
Military men are confident that the his
tory of the Spanish War would be repeat
ed were a call for volunteers to be made
Savannah has always responded in a man
ner that indicated the martial spirit was
deeply imbued, and should it come, the
city would doubtless sustain its reputa-
ton, even though the foe to be fought is
the heather Chinee.
Savannah officers are wondering if Col
Usher Thomson of the Third Georgia
Regiment made his tender of the services
of his command direct to the Secretary of
War. as he should not have done, or
through the Governor. The dispatch an
nouncing the tender of the services of the
regiment said nothing about the Gov
ernor SO it is presumed that the tender
was made direct TO the government. 1t
would also be interesting to know whether
a careful poll of the companies compris-
ing Col. Thomsons command was Snade
before he announced that it was ready to
fight the Chinese.
Among military men the troubles In the
Orient have been widely discussed. Some
believe there may yet be a call for vol
unteers, but the majority entertain
different view. The idea seems to pre-
vail that the concert of the Powers Will
furnish enough men for the chastisement
of the Chinese, the quota for each being
from 10000 to 10000 men. but there are
dissenting voices, for many millions OF
fanatics dwell in the two provinces from
which the great uprisings have been re-
ported, and II is believed the campaign
against Pekin, even with the fall of the
Celestial City, will be no more than the
beginning of mighty operations There
Will be posts to establish and hold, COM
municatons to sustain, various armies to
meet and defeat, an apparently mex
haustible population to suppress and a
wide territory 90 keep in subsection To
some it seems that the preparations the
Powers are called upon TO make depend
altogether upon the determination and
staying power of the rebels.

MAY CAUSE AN ORDINANCE.
Slot Weight Machines May Be For
hidden Altogether,

hidden Altogether.
The seizure of the slot weight machines
by the city marshal day before yesterday
may result in some kind of an ordinance
being presented 10 Council in order
that the status of this peculiar form
of business may be understood. At pres
ent, weight machines are not recognized
at all in the system of imposing taxes
and licenses, and the authorities think
this is not we'll.
An alderman said yesterday that he
would not be surprised if some ordinance
were introduced to prohibit the machines.
Il is his opinion that they are in the way,
and serve only to add to the posts. bcy-
Gle racks, display stands and whatnot
that blockade sidewalks. In this view,
others of the board may not acquiesce,
and il is possible that a license may ue
fixed for each machine.
In the meantime, the two that were
seized by the city marshal remain in the
city vault, awaiting an order from the
Mayor. When the owner, Mr.. T. c.. Par
ker, or his representa- tive appears with
to him. 1t is said that several other ma
chimes were gathered in from the streets
by their owner, as soon as il was learned
that the city was ready to recognize the
fact that pennyin-the business was
being carried on on the streets without
license.

From Heart Failure.
Mr.. w. E. Morrison died night before
last of heart failure at the home of his
mother Mrs. Mary E. Morrison, No. 10
Liberty street. west. The illness that
terminated in death came very suddenly.
Mr.. Morrison having been at his office
on Monday, only complaining the follow
ing day. Al no time, though, up to an
hour before his death, was his condition
regarded as at all serious, his chief trou-
bic till then having, apparently, been be-
cause Of the heat. A physician was CALI
ed as soon as the seizure came, but his
efforts were unavailing.
Mr.. Morrison was born in Savannah on
Sept. %, 1867. He was a son of Dr. D. H
Morrison who died when the child was but
eighteen months old. His preparatory ed
ucation was received at the Citadel in
Charleston, whence he went to Hobart
College, New York. From that institu-
ton he was graduated when only 10 years
old, and he was one of the youngest men
to be admitted to the Savannah bar in
years. The Savannah Bar Association of
which he was a member has been called
out for the funeral, which will take place
this afternoon at o'clock from Christ

CHOSE MARRIAGE TO. JAIL.
Giant and Midget Comparatively
Welded by n Magistrate.

Charles Robinson and Annie Garden, col
ored, comparatively giant and a midget,
were married by Magistrate Nathans yes
terday. The man is about six feet two
inches high. and the woman about two feet
shorter and they presented an extremely
odd sight, as they stood up for the cere-
mony. Marriage in this case was not
because opposites attracted, however. but
was owing to the usual story OF mans
perfidy and the too fond trustfulness OF
the woman. When the BRIDE to-be found
that Robinson was not inclined to fill his
promise of marriage she had him arrested.
When he found IL was marriage or Jail he
chose the former as the lesser evil.
