THROWN FROM LOCOMOTIVE.
William Vaughn Wants $4,000
Damages From the Seaboard.

William Vaughn Wants $4,000
Damages From the Seaboard.
William Vaughn, through his attor-
ney. w. H. Boyd, filed suit in the City
Court yesterday against the Seaboard
Air Line for the recovery of $4,000
damages for injuries sustained as the
result of the negligence of the railway
company.
The petition recites that May 10, 1902,
he was engaged in firing one of the
locomotives of the company. Owing to
the speed of the engine at the time and
the run which was being made, he was
kept busy firing the engine. While
thus engaged his foot got caught under
the apron of the locomotive which is
a large piece of sheet iron connected
with the floor of the engine and ex-
tending over the space between the
cab and the tender. AS he went to
turn, he tripped, and the oscillation of
the engine precipitated him to the out
er darkness.
He was thrown, he states further,
upon pile of crossties, his head strik-
ing, and fracturing his skull Other
serious injuries. necessitated his con-
finement in the hospital for three
weeks. and left him much less vigor-
Gus man. The accident he ascribes to
the negligence of the company, in that
had the apron not been old and worn
and improperly adjusted, the accident
would have never happened. Upon this
question will rest the question of LA
bility at the trial at the next term of
court.

TO WITHDRAW COUPONS.
After Oct. 81 Merchants VIII Not Ac-
Cept Them.

The Retail Merchants Association
and Messrs. Foye and Eckstein ratified
an agreement yesterday to discontinue
the use of coupon premium books.
which they have found unsatisfactory.
The merchants comprising the asso-
citation, and Messrs. Foye & Eek
stein as well have determined to cease
accepting coupons for cash purchases.
The agreement becomes effective on
oct 81. which is the last day of ac-
ceptance.
Notices are published in the Morning
News to-day by both the association
and Foye and Eckstein. They con-
slider that ample time is afforded for
the presentation of the books for re-
demptiOn.
The withdrawal of coupons will be
regretted by many of the stores GUS
toners, especially ladies, but the firms
have not found the system at all salts
factory. For some reasons they have
regarded it as a nuisance.
At the meeting of the Merchants
Association, when the withdrawal of
the coupon books was practically
agreed upon, it was decided to leave
the question Of the employment of
convict labor in the hands of a COM
nllIee consisting OF MeSSTS- knarleS
Garfunkel. ]. w. Jackson, and B. H.
Levy, which should wait upon the
Mayor and take such steps as might
be considered advisable to prevent the
use of such labor within or near the
city limits.
This grows out of the purpose of
the Mill-Haven Lumber Co. to employ
1875 of the states convicts at its mills
west of the city. 1t is said that the
City Council will be asked to indorse
bill, providing against the employ
ment of convict labor within a dis
lance of three miles of the corporate
limits of any city in Georgia of more
than $4,000 or less than $4,000 popula-
ton. 1t is said this would be practical
ly a local bill. and. that. therefore,
with Chatham representatives favor
ing it, those from other counties should
not oppose its passage.

KILLED BY MAIL TRAIN.
Administrators of Gilbert Matheny
Asks Damages From $. A. l..

Asks Damages From $. A. l..
A suit for damages, the amount of
which was not specified, for the killing
of Gilbert Matheny, was instituted by
the administrator of the dead man
against the Seaboard Air Line in the
City Court yesterday, by Twiggs &
Oliver, attorneys for the administrator.
The petition alleges that May 10, last,
Matheny received injuries which caused
his death while in the ordinary dis
charge of his duties. by reason of the
negligence of the railway company.
Matheny, who was a resident of Rich
land county, South Carolina, was in the
employ of the company on that date.
While seated on the fireman's box, as
a locomotive engineer, he stuck his
head out of the window to look ahead.
AS he did so he was struck by a mail
crane, which had that day, or shortly
before, been moved nearer the track.
He received wounds from which he died
the following week. The petition al
leges that the mail crane had formerly
been a greater distance from the track,
and that on the day which the acct
dent occurred, and after the accident,
the company moved the crane back
from the track.

The Plaza Hotel, at Fifth avenue and
Fifty-ninth street, entrance to Central
Park. New York city, is not to be torn
down, as recently enormously reported.
But, on the contrary, during the past
summer, at great expense, it has been
redecorated, furniture renewed, the
most improved water purifying system
installed, and an interior long distance
telephone provided for every room. The
Plaza remains as not only one of the
best located, but one of the best kept
hotels in New York, and there is none

the invitation to deliver the address

letter from Col. Gardiner, in which he

very apparent ability, and they will
welcome an opportunity to hear such
an address S he will doubtless deliver
The arrangements for the funeral,
Mr.. Waller reports, are progressing
satisfactorily. A meeting of the COM
mittee will probably be held within a
few days, when report of the progress

Invitations have been sent out to n
number of distinguished men and to
the nonresident descendants of Gen.
Greene. Replies from some have been
received but not enough have yet come
in to Indicate just how many guests
of the societies there will be.
The military commands of the CITY
have not yet been invited to partici-
pate in the parade that will be a fea-

the military serve as an escort to the
remains. and 1t is probable that invi-

REGISTRY BOARD AT WORK.
Purging the Voting Lists for the

the voting lists for the congressional
election, which takes place in Novem-
Der. The board. consisting of Mr.. T.

Do Business Men Think of This.

Il
The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents chea per
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of its citizens?
1t saves little, if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys-
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm to your fellow citizens. who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay, and other charges to meet.
This applies to all lines of business,
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here, able to do much more
work than they are doing if they had
it to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people, as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
GENE customers of the shoe houses,
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses. and, indeed,
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
a Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And it will do it as we'll and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah a home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find it's way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it?
