G0DB0LO SHOT NEGRO.
Bullet From PatrOIman's Pistol
Stopped Escaped Convict.


William Gilliard, negro % years of
age, and said to be an escaped convict
from the Florida penitentiary, was shot
and painfully wounded in Jonesfield last
night by Patrolman G.. s. Godboid. The
officer was not on duty at the time Of
the shooting and had gone to the East
side for the purpose of arrestng the ne
gro. of whose presence there he had been
made aware by a spotter.
GodIbold says that Gilliard fired a shot
at him, attempted to escape, and that
he had to shoot to save his dife. The
patrolman shot the negro through the
left thigh, and had no trouble after that
in sending him to the police station. God
bold reported what he had done at head
quarters, and stated that he had searched
without success for the weapon that the
negro had used. The officer stated, after
the shooting that he did not know what
crime Giliard had been convicted Of
but that the negro had admitted that he
had escaped from the Florida prison.
Police Surgeon Osborne was indisposed
last night, and DR.. J. G. Keller was called
IN to dress the negroes hurt, which he
pronounced only a flesh wound. The
Florida authorities will be notified of the
arrest of Gilliard.

police station.
Miss Wetherhorn was walking south for
the purpose of meeting an Abercorn
street car Thomas followed her from
Liberty street, and in Ghe middle of the
square struck her in the back. The young
lady did not fall and the negro scuffied
with her until he got the well filled purse
from her hand. She shouted stop thief, p"

place, with the pocketbook still in his
possession. lie had held fast 10 his plum

BOTH WAYS ON BARNARD.

Cars Run North and South Because
of the Sewer Work.
The cars are running both ways on Bar
nard street. This was started yesterday
at noon, when the house drainage work
on CASTOR street reached Barnard and the
railroad tracks were undermined. Just as
on Whitaker street some days ago, when
the house drainage operations had pro-
crossed that far, the cars on Barnard
street will run from both directions up to
the ditch turn and make their way back
to the Bay and to Fortieth street.
Schedules are interferd with by the
necessary running in both directions, but
it will not be long before the laborers
have crossed Barnard street. The cars
may then resume their one-way running,
but it will not be for long, as the COM
pany is shortly to establish its double
track service on Barnard.

OVERTURNED THE SLEEPER.
Passengers Injured in an Accident
on SOuthern'S Fast Mail.

Passengers Injured in an Accident
on sOuthern's Fast Mail.
The fast mail train No. 50. over the
Southern. was derailed yesterday morning
at 2:lO O'Clock about twenty miles south
Of Columbia Several passengers and Con-
ductor Lawson were injured,
though none of them seriously.
Mrs. &. W. sperry of jacksonville, for
merry Of Macon. had her nose broken,
and Hon. L. ]. Curry of Washington,
had his shoulder sDrained. These and
most of the other injured passengers
went on through to Jacksonville by
later train, having been brought to Sa-
vannah by a circuitous route.
A broken rail was said by the railroad
people to have been the cause Of the
accident, the cold bringing out defect
III the steel. The train was running fifty
miles an hour, and it was a marvel
shat the damage was not greater. The
engine and the mail car were not over
turned, but came on to Savannah after a
delay of three or four hours, turning the
mail over to Plant System train No. 80
for Florida.
There were twelve passengers in the
IulMnan sleeper, the Warham. The sleep
er ran along 800 yards after leaving the
track, and then went into the
ditch, turning over Those on
the right side of the sleeper were dashed
from their berths by the car overturn-
ing, and it was in this way they were in
1ured Those on the opposite side of the
car were not injured.
wreeking force was sent out from
Columbia, and the track was repaired and
the sleeper righted. The track, however,
could not be repaired in time to prevent
further delay to trains. and the next
southbound train was delayed for
hours. The Southern Railway has no
wires into Savannah and it was difficult
10 gain any knowledge of the wreck. It
was reported that the engineer had been
injured, but the report could not be veri-
lied. As the engine was run to Savan-
nah. it is supposed that he could net
have been injured on an engine that re-
manned sound.

Remains of Joseph Dieter Buried in
Bonnvcnture Cemetery.


The funeral OF Francis j. Dieter, who
was killed by his brother-in-law early
Sunday morning, an account of which
was published in the Morning News, took
place at $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from his late home on the Waters road,
near Thirty-fifth street. It had been an
nounced that the interment would be in
Laurel Grove Cemetery and many Of the
friends of the deceased went there. 1t
appeared that there had been some disa-
greement as to where the remains shou
be buried, and Il was finally decided that
they should rest in the Dieter lot in Bon
aventure. Those who had gone to Lau-
rel Grove were informed OF the change
that had been made dur ng the morning
and went to Bonaventure.
The services were conducted by Rev
Dr. Schaeffer of the Lutheran Church Of
the Ascension. The German Friendly So
ciety attended the funeral and the pail
bearers were from that order. and the
representatives OF the several pa king
houses, with which Dieter had business
during life.

fOrmances at ThunderbOIt.
Proprietor Neil Gildea of the Alhambra
Music Hall has decided to stop his Sun
day concerts at Thunderbolt and so adj
vertised in the Morning News yesterday.
For years concerts have been given at
Thunderbolt by the vaudeville performers
employed at the Alhambra and the an
nouncenent that these would be no more
caused some little surprise. 1t seems that
Mr. Gildea has not made the change be-
cause Of any suggest ons thrown out 10
him by the Law end Order League. but
because he and the street raj way man.
sgement had a misunderstanding Of some
sort.
The music han man says that the
company has always furnished his per-
formers and hep transportation to aud
from the park and now the management
will give tickets only one way. Mr.. G Id a
Gays that he would not stand for this
and that there will be no more Sunday
gatherings at the resort. Just what the
people who have been regular attendants
at the concerts will find TO do on Sum
day remains to be seen.
