FIREMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE
KiIrOy Thrown from Horse in Front
of Trolley Car and Badly Hurt.

hI1rOy thrown from morse III FrOht
of Trolley Car and Badly Hurt.
Fireman George Kilroy of Chemical
Engine Company No. 1, at the Cen
trail Fire Station. was badly injured
yesterday, and came very near being
killed. Kilroy was thrown from
horse in front of trolley car and the
animal fell on him.
The accident occurred on Oglethorpe
avenue and Abercorn street shortly
before the daily test alarm had been
sounded. Kilroy was exercising one
of the large horses that pull the chem
ical engine, aT>I was riding without
a saddle. The horse became fright
ened at a city cart and began buck
ing on the car track. The animal
stood almost straight in the air and
the fireman slipped off to the ground
Kilroy grabbed the bride in order
to prevent the frightened animal from
getting away, and the horse slipped
and went down. Kilroy's right foot
was mashed. and while the horse made
a frantic effort to regain his footing
it looked as if the fireman was go
ing to be crushed to death. Those who
witnessed the accident have not yet
been able to figure out how the horse
managed to get up without rolling
over on the injured fireman and mash
ing him to death. In regaining his
footing the horse kicked Kilroy in the
right side, knocking the breath out of
his body.
trolley car going south was only
a few feet away when Kilroy fell and
he had a narrow escape from being
killed by the car. Fortunately for Kill
roy the car was not going at a rapid
rate, and was brought to a standstill
by the motorman when within a foot
of the helpless man. The horse had
already gotten off the track and those
who were wondering at Kilroy's mar
row escape in the first case thought
certainly that he would be ground to
pieces by the wheels Of the car.
The injured fireman managed to
scramble to his feet, but his strength
failed and he fell back into the arms
of Foreman Arthur Tosach of Com
pany No. 8. Kilroy was lifted into
the fire station, and was placed on a
cot. DR.. w. r. Crawford, whose Of
flee is near the fire station, was sum-
moned and dressed the injured fire.
mans wounds. At first it was believed
that Kilroy was suffering from internal
injuries and that he had been serious
ly hurt. He suffered considerable pain
from the kick in the side, but no bones
were broken.
The fireman's foot was badly mash
ed and swelled rapidly. The injured
limb was bandaged by DR.. Crawford,
and Kilroy was instructed to remain in
his cot until the foot goes back to its
normal size. Kilroy will be off duty
for several days. and another man had
to be sent to the station to take his

A NEGRO WORLDS FAIR.
Savannah Is Asked to Make an Of
fer to Secure 1t.

savannah is Asked TO Make uh Oi-
fer to Secure 1t.
The Negro Worlds Fair Company Is
the style of an organization that has
been effected in Alabama, the purpose
being to give some great exposition.
The company is now on the lookout for
some city that wants the prospective
fair badly enough to put up something
to get it. Savannah is included in the
list of places that have been asked to
make a bid.
The design of the promoters of the
enterprise is to give a fair during the
year 1904 and have it last for four or
five months President H. N. New
some, who is pastor of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church at Opel-
ka, Ala, has asked the mayor, the
Council and the board of trade of sew
eral cities to take up the matter and
decide how much it is worth to a
municipality to have such an event
President Newsome writes: THE city
that offers the best inducements in the
way of donations and allowing us to
use its fair grounds and buildings is
the place we expect to hold the fair.
We have had several verbal offers by
city officers. An officer of city SAID
that he was certain that our project
would draw at least 10000 people to
any city daily, and that he was willing
to persuade his city to give us the use
of the necessary buildings free, but
we are not accepting any offer until
we hear from several cities. This is
going to be the biggest thing the ne
gro has ever had and will draw peo-
pie from all parts of the world"
Besides himself as president, Rev.
Newsome names the following men,
bers of the company: Bishop H. M.
Turner, Atlanta, vice president; Rev.
G. B. West, presiding elder Columbia
district African Methodist Episcopal
Church, treasurer: Prof. r. G. Robin
Sef,- president Central Academy,
Huntsville, Ala, chief secretary; Rev.
c. L. Dunn, Opelika, chairman of the
executive committee: Rev. M. c. B.
Mason, Cincinnati, chairman board of
directors; w. H. Council, president At
rican Methodist College, Normal, Ala;
Rev. D. l.. Sanders, president Biddle

1t is improbable that any action will
be taken upon the communication by
the City Council, before which the pro-
ject will be laid tonight.

MURDER STILL UNAVENGED.
Police No Nearer the Truth of the
Baker Homicide.

The offering of a reward of $500 by
City Council for the arrest and con-
viction of the murderers of Samuel t.
Baker has not yet resulted IN the dis
covery of any person who will throw
any light on the homicide. The police
have been unable to obtain any infor-
nation that would justify them in even
suspecting any one of the crime.
When the crime was committed a
half dozen or more theories were adj
vanced, and the officers went to work
on alleged clues. Nothing ever came
of the matter, but with the reward
offered by the city as an incentive some
additional facts may be brought out
before a great while. The city detec-
tives say that they have worked on
every clue which they We're able to find,
but without any degree of success.
Their only hope now appears to be that
someone will step forward and tell
something in return for the sum offer
ed by Council

Race Track to Him.
The Board of Directors Of the Sa-

Mr.. H. H. Hull in charge of the race
track and the Fair grounds. This ac-
ton was not taken at a formal meet
ing of the board. but it was ascertain
ed that the majority favored it, and
Mr.. Hull, accordingly. was notified.
His assumption of the charge of the

that were mentioned some days ago by
the Morning News. He will receive
$500 year and 20 per cent. of the
net receipts from any race meetings
save during fairs, that may be held
at the track.
1t is possible that races may be run

able to make a positive announcement
within few days as to whether the
races will be run.

TRADE HOLDS STEADY.
Demand is Strong In the Iron and Steel Bus
mess, and There Is Better Tone
all around.

Dun's weekly Review of Trade
says: While the general business
world has looked with amaZement mt
the performance of the stock market,
trade has maintained its even course,
and there are many more points or
gain than of loss. No sign of lessening
demand is perceptible in any branch
of the iron and steel INDUSTRY. Mills
are accepting contracts for the closing
months of the year, and there Is every
indication that 1901 will surpass all
records in the quantity of pig iron con-
sumed by manufacturers. Though ca
pacity has been wonderfully enlarged
during the past five months, there are
still many extensions ana new plants
contemplated. 1t is also probable that
the customary summer repairs of fur
naces and mills will be accomplished
within shorter period than usual, as
contracts call for heavy deliveries right
through the season. Permanence OF
prosperity in this industry Is becoming
more certain as there Is less evidence
of inflated prices. Regular quotations
have not altered, except for bars and
foundry pig iron, although all sorts of
premiums are paid where prompt ship
ment is required.
Wheat, including -four, shipments for
the week aggregate 4,o9S,693 bushels,
against 4,494 ,635 bushels last week, g.
S36,063 bushels in the corresponding

Bradstreet's says: 1t Is hard to see
how iron and steel trade conditions
could be improved from the standpoint
of the seller. Demand Is large, prices
are strong and In raw and finished
lines the outlook Is regarded as very
satisfactory. Price advances have
been largely confined TO finished prod
ucts, the features being an advance of
81 per ton in plates Mt Chicago. and Of
