ing with her longer, and that he would
either throw her overheard or find
some other method of Kidding himself
of her wearisome and unpleasant So
ciety. While his language left his ex-
act method in doubt, she was not per-
mitted to misunderstood his purpose.
The plaintiff says she fears these
threats will be carried into execution,
and to preevnt this, asks the protec-
ton of the court and a legal severing
of the marital bonds that bind her to
her husband. She is only 10 years old,
SO the court is informed, and she trem-
bles in the fear of her husbands fear
full wrath.
She wants alimony also, not being
able to support herself and her people
likewise lacking ability to take upon
them the burden of her attendance.
Her husband makes regularly SIS a
month, and the petition naively sug-
gests that as he lives aboard the steam
boat on which he is employed, he is
well able to spare a considerable por-
ton of this munificent sum for his wife.
The plaintiff is represented by w. H.
Wade.

MOON WILL BE
TOTALLY ECLIPSED
Between 10 O'clock Tonight and 2 O'clock in
the Morning.

tonight, it would be wholly invisible,
but not so. Usually the body of the
moon can be seen as a dull, copper
colored orb throughout the entire
eclipse. This is due to the fact that
the suns rays passing through the
earth's atmosphere are refracted into
the shadow, and as the strong red rays
struggle through the impurities of our
atmosphere, they fall upon the dark
body of the moon in the shadow and
impart to it the duh red hue referred
to above. There have been times when
the moon has entirely disappeared dur
ing an eclipse, but these occasions are
rare. The degree of illumination de-
pends upon the meteorological condi-
tons of the atmosphere at the time.
Like the Earth.
The moon is 2,16O miles in diameter,
and a careful examination of it's physi-
cal condition shows that it is composed
of the same materials as our earth,
but that it is without atmosphere, and
hence it has no animal or vegetable
life, water or fire. 1t is indeed a dead,
frozen world. a fit prototype of our
own earth, if cosmical history is to
continue as in the past.
The practical uses of a lunar eclipse
are now chiefly to correct the lunar
ltblSS uSeu III dSlIOlOIily, anu lot IHlS
purposes the eclipse tonight will be
carefully observed at all the observa-
tories in America.
The circular shadow of the earth upon
the moon is one of the evidences of
the earth's rotundity, and this inter
esting observation can easily be made
tonight. No telescope will be neces-
sary, but all the phases of the eclipse
may be seen distinctly by the unaided
eye. Otis Ashmore.

The Chatham Artillery will give their
minstrel show on next Monday evening
at the Theater. A great deal of interest

everything points to immense success.
A fact to be noted with regard to this

never before have asked for aid from
the public. For years they have given
their entertainments, balls, soirees and

No money could buy admission to any

city and thousands of visitors The
battery alone spent over $50, 900 during
the week of festivities, which is still
preserved in the memory of most of the
people. Besides this what the invited
guests and visitors spent in Savannah
amount to no little, the city at large
benefitting by it. Now that the tables
have somewhat turned, the Chatham

FELL FIFTY FEET
JAMES WILLIAMS MARVELLOUS ES-
CAPE FROM DEATH AT
STRONG'S SCHOOL.
STRUCK BRICK PAVEMENT
FROM FOURTH STORY OF BUILD
ING.

Grating in Widow Gave Way and
Fell to the street Dangerously
Near Iron Banuisters-His First
Thought Was of His Wife and
Mother-Companion Who Witness
ed the Fall Thought He Was Kill
ed-At Hospital Williams Told
How the Accident Happened.
James williams, colored. a painter
employed at the Savannah Preparatory
School had a marvellous escape from
death yesterday morning, when he fell
four stories, a distance Of nearly fifty
feet. from the top of the school build
ing to the brick pavement below. The
negro sustained no serious injuries,
not even being rendeIed senseless from
his fall.
In his fall he barely missed striking
an iron balcony, and struck the pave
ment within a foot of a flight of stone
steps with iron banisters. A large iron
grating, which gave way in the win
dow in which he was working, struck
by his side. The grating weighs about
fifteen pounds, and had it hit Williams,
serious injury would have occurred.
Williams first thought, after strik-
ing the ground, was of his mother and
wife. Dazed and bleeding on the
ground, he thought nothing of his in
juries, but moaned over and over:
What will my poor wife and mother
do-who will take care of them?" The
negro's chin was dislocated by the fall,
and his right wrist was broken. One
of the bones of the wrist projected sew
eral inches outside of flesh. But he
did not as much as glance at the in
jury to his wrist, his whole thought
being of those who were dependent
upon him for a maintenance.
The fall was witnessed by another
painter who was almost beneath the
spot from which Williams fell. He
FASTENED to the side of his companion,
expecting to find life extinct. DR.. Her
riot, who happened to be passing at
the time, examined the mans injuries.
A cursory examination developed that
unless the man had sustained some in
ternal injuries, his condition was not
alarming.
At the hospital last night, where
Williams was taken in the ambulance
shortly after the accident, he told of
just finished hanging a blind on it's
hinge. In order to do this he was
obliged to stand up in the window. A
heavy iron grating, about eighteen
inches in hight, fits in the outer edge
of the window sill. This grating is
removed by being pushed upward a
few inches, and then outward. In the
strain incident to the hanging of the
blind, his foot had slipped under the
grating. This pushed the grating up,
and it came loose from it's mornings,
precipitating Williams to the ground
below. So great was the force of the
fall that the heavy grating-was broken
in pieces.
Williams will remain at the hospital
for several days, and unless some in
ternal injuries result from the jar to
his system, he will be out again in the
course of week or ten days. The ac-
cident occurred at about 8 o'clock, be-
fore any of the boys had come to
school. Mr. Taylor, the contractor who
hired Williams, said yesterday that he
had been employing painters for TWEEN
ty years, and that the accident was
the fEst that had ever happened to
any of his help.

RIXEY'S ANNUAL REPORT.
Shows Health of Navy and Marine
Corps to BE Good.


Corps to BE Good.
Washington, Oct. 15.--The first an
nual report of Surgeon General Rixey
shows that the health of the navy and
marine corps was good throughout the
past fiscal year, the percentage Of
the sick and death rate being lower
than for several years. The most i'm
portant recommendation of the report,
perhaps, is that Congress provide for
the adjustment of a woman's nurse
corps for the navy. The surgeon gem
eral says:
That women are the superior of
men for the work of nursing, there can
be no question, and the objection that
they are not compatible with military
conditions can scarcely apply to in
stitutions of the character of our large
naval hospitals
DR.. Rixey makes a strong plea for
an increase of the navy medical force,
which he says is entirely inadequate

Causes of Eclipse.
AS is well known. a lunar eclipse is
caused by the moon passing through
the shadow of the earth, and hence it
can occur only at full moon.
The shadow of the earth extends out
into space about three times the dis
lance of the moon, and sometimes our
satellite in its revolution around the
earth passes through this shadow,
causing an eclipse. The moon of it
self is a dark, non-luminous body, and
its light is due entirely to the reflected
light of the sun. 1t would seem from
this that when the moon passes into
the shadow of the earth, as it will do
