HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
Little Doris Fitzgerald Knocked
Down by Street Car.

Doris Fitzgerald, a S-or-4-year-old
child, narrowly escaped death yester-
day through the carelessness of the
colored nurse, who was supposed to be
attending her. The child and the nurse
were at the intersection of Abercorn
street and Oglethorpe avenue in the
afternoon. In some way the little girl
became separated from the nurse, and
bound Abercorn car, No. Z, was pass
ing, and the little girl ran upon the
track just when the car had approach
ed too near to admit of the motorman
bringing it to stop. He very prompt
ly shut off the current and applied the
brake when he saw the little ones
danger, but the car struck her.
Fortunately, the blow was a glanc-
ing one and the speed of the car had
been greatly reduced, or the little girl
would have been killed or seriously
hurt. AS it was, she escaped injury,
being only knocked down on one side
of the track
Firemen of No. station witnessed
the accident. 1t happened too sudden
ly for them to reach the scene before
the little one had been knocked down.
They said that the motorman was in
no way to blame. but, on the contrary,
hal acted with cool and sound judg-
ment in shutting off the current and
applying his brake. They scored the
woman soundly, however, for her care

NOT UNTIL JANUARY.
United States Courts Will Not Con-
vene Here Before That Time.

Nntted states Courts Will NOT tOH~
vene Here Before That Time.
There will probably be no session OF
the United States courts at Savannah
before next January. The rules of the
term of both of the Circuit and District
Courts beginning the first Monday in
November. but there is no indication
that this will be held this year.
1t has been the custom of Judge
Speer to require counsel in cases in
which the intervention of jury Is not
necessary to appear before him at Ma
con to make their arguments, and
large amount of business, that would
otherwise be disposed of at Savannah,
is managed in this way. AS a usual
thing, the courts convene in this city
only when there are a number of Grim
inal cases to be tried, or when there
are civil cases, the nature of which
makes necessary the presence and ad-
judication of a jury.
1t was said yesterday that Judge
Speer would probably be in the city
about January, to hold terms of both
the Circuit and District Courts. There
is a bare possibility that by that time
the case of Greene and the Gaynors
will have been determined by the
United States Supreme Court, and that
these defendants will have been re-
manded to this city for trial. To those
who have watched their efforts to
evade trial in the district in which
their crimes are alleged to have been
committed and have seen the constant
success with which these efforts have
been crowned the hope that they will
be brought to Savannah in the course
of the next few months seems very re-
mote indeed.
There are number of other criminal
cases, however. that await the COM
ing of Judge Speer to Savannah for
trial. None of these is of any partic-
ular interest or Importance, the ma
jority of them being cases of Illicit dis
tilling or other alleged violations of
the internal revenue laws of the ma
tional government

debt that all must pay, his death will
cause grief as profound as it is sin
cere.
For more than a year Col. Walker
has not been outside his residence,
though for the greater portion of that
time he has been able to walk freely
about within the house. The increasing
inf1rmities of old age became every
day more and more apparent and
month ago Col. Walker was taken Sc
riously i'll Then there were grave fears
entertained for his recovery but he raj
lied from the attack and seemed to be
in better health. The improvement,
however was but temporary, and af-
ter the rally his strength and vigor
steadily declined. He was conscious
until o'clock yesterday morning, when
he sank into the sleep that ended in his
death.
Col Walker married Miss Louisa
Pierce, on Dec. IS. 1884. She was a
daughter of Reddick Pierce and niece
of Lovick Pierce and cousin of the
celebrated bishop of the Methodist
their marriage Col. and Mrs. Walker,
in the presence of their living children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren,
celebrated their golden wedding. Their
descendants now living number near
ly eighty. Mrs. Walker died Oct. 81,
1897, and four years and a day there
after her husband has followed her
into the great beyond.
Col. Walkers life was an eventful
noa ~ having eXparianPpd a ntiTl1 her
of narrow escapes from death. He
was one of the survivors of the ill
fated steamer Pulaski, which was burn
ed at sea, June IA, 1888, on her voyage
from Savannah to Baltimore On that
occasion Col. Walker was five days on
the sea on raft, without food or wa
ter, and suffered then tortures that all
the events of long and busy life, filled
with mingled joys and sorrows, never
permitted him to forget.
Before the war Col. Walker was the
commanding officer of the First Regi-
ment of Georgia militia, and IL was
from this Office that he derived his IL
tie. When the war between the states
began, Col. Walker promptly rendered
his services TO the Confederacy, and
was commissioned an officer of the Pu-
laski Guards. He afterwards saw SER
vice with the Washington Volunteers
and was then promoted captain and
quartermaster of the First Volunteer
Regiment of Georgia. He was captured
In the attack upon Fort Pulaski and
sent 10 Johnson's Island, where he
spent the remaining years OF the war
in prison.
Before the outbreak Of the war Col.
Walker had already been the recipient
OF civic honors at the hands Of his fell
low citizens He was an alderman OF
the city from 1913 10 1854 and from
1865 70 1857 and was the only surviving
member OF the boards with which he
served He assisted IN the orga MIA

Mr.. Baldwin would not deny that
personally he is interested in a scheme
connected with the street railway COM

say when he intends to return to the
