FIREWORKS IN THE CLOUDS.
Spectacle Furnished by Night Ascen-
sion of Balloon at Casino.

Without a parachute and merely
clinging to a cross bar from which
blazed torches of Greek fire. H. NJ.
Phillips, aeronaut, made a balloon as
cension from the Casino grounds last
night, and after firing off two bundles
of fire works while nearly 1000 feet
above the ground, rode the balloon
down and landed just b~--"nd the col
ored college.
The ascent from Jectacular as
pect is quite the finest that nas yet
been made at the Casino. and proba-
bly, the finest. as it undoubtedly was
the most novel that has ever been
made in this vicinity. 1t was watched
with unabating interest by several
hundred people, a fairly large crowd
considering the rather cool weather
and the fact that there were other at
fractions in the city.
The performance would have been
seen by an even larger crowd but for
an accident that happened on the rail-
way line. Early in the evening one of
the large suburban cars. while turning
the curve at OFT and Bolton streets,
ran off the track, and as it was some
three quarters of an hour or more be-
fore it could be moved the main line
was blocked for that time, and the
would-be passengers to Thunderbolt
had to wait at the scene of the mishap
until cars could be run from that
place to Thunderbolt and back.
Phillips was among those made late
by the delay. 1t was after 10 o'clock
before he reached the Casino, and it
was more than an hour later before the
big bag was released and started sky
ward. Many people left before the as
cent was made, among them the men,
bers of st. Pauls Sunday-school who
spent the evening at the Casino on a
trolley ride.
Those who did stay. however. were
we'll rewarded, for the ascent even
leaving out of the question the pyro-
technics, was quite as successful as
any that have vet been given, and
proved so successful that it is probable
that another, or several others. will be
given before the present schedule of
outdoor night shows is closed.
The ascension was not the only show
however for Zalvardo. the aerial gym
mast. perched high above the ground
and in a perfect frame of lights with
the darkened sky for background, did
the series of clever tricks with which
he has amused the Casino crowds dur
ing all this week. Polyscope pictures
too were shown and attracted much at
tention, while not a few of the patrons
of the place, especially the younger
people, spent the wait between shows
in dancing, for which purpose the audi
forum had been cleared.

COLLISION AT COLISEUM.
Leopold COlIidcd With Caretaker
aud Got Bad Cash on Head.

aud Got Bad Cash on Head.
The first smash-up that has occurred
on the local bicycle track this season
happened last night, with the result
that two men are hurt, though neither
seriously. c. Hamp Leopold, who was
to ride in to-night's races, is one, and
the other is Jim Wilson, colored, the
caretaker of the Coliseum.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock, and after all the professionals
and most of the amateur racers had
finished their training and left the
track. Leopold was taking a last trip
around the track unpaced and go
ing at pretty lively clip, when Will
son unknowingly got in the way and
was struck by Leopold. Rider, wheel
and negro went in several directions,
Leopold landing in a way that gave
him a severe cut on the head, one so
long that it took four stitches to
close it.
Wilson was pretty we'll bruised and
received cut on the mouth, but his
injuries are more painful that serious
Leopold was up and about after he
had had his head attended to, but he
will not be able to ride tonight. The
bicycle also was somewhat damaged.

A DAY WITHOUT MUGGINESS.
Weather is Remarkable in Many
Respects.

On account of the storm that formed
over the great lakes region Monday
Savannah experienced a decidedly
pleasant change in the weather yester-
day. At no time was it as warm as
on the previous days of the month, de-
spite the sunshine, and everybody en-
joyed thankfully the ideal day the
weather man had given.

reached at $780, and was degrees
lower than Tuesday. The minimum
was ga degrees, or degrees lower than
on the previous day The mean was II

the monthly excess to 6 degrees and
increasing the deficiency for the year
to So degrees.
Up to yesterday September had been
remarkable for the amount of humid
ity the atmosphere contained, @nd by
contract the day became noteworthy.
The average for the day was only 6S
per cent, as compared with an aver
age of 80 for the preceding 8 days

OPPOSITION TICKET

One.

Citizen Club Leaders Are Expecting
One.
The question whether there will be
opposition to the Citizens Club ticket,
though rather premature, is none the
less discussed than if it were most OPP
perfume. When questioned on the sub
ject a leader in the club said:
You can just say for us that we are
preparing for opposition. At twelve
hours notice we could call a meeting
of "wise-ones" at which there would
be five hundred men," He reiterated
the statement made by others of the
party that the question of who would
run for Mayor was still as much of a
question as ever but that when the
nominee was decided in caucus, har-
mony would be forthcoming.
About that much talked of ten
thousand dollars, all have to say is
that that amount won't meet the bill,
but if they want to raise it we will
help them to spend it,"

Schofield Had Been Joined to First
Wife's Sister.

Moultrie, Ga, Sept 1O.-The friends
of John Schofeld, who was buried
here yesterday, were very much sur
prised to learn that he was married
last November. Mr.. Schofeld came
here from Toccoa, Ga, about two
years ago. In February, 1901, his wife
died, and since that time his wife's
sister, who was Mrs. Bone, has been
keeping house for him. Last Novem-
Der Mr.. Schofield and Mrs. Bone were
married at Toccoa, Ga.
No one here knew of the marriage
until yesterday, when his insurance
policy was found. 1t was seen that it
was payable to his present wife. No
reason is known for them having kept
the marriage secret.
The Moultrie Cotton Mills have not
yet selected any one to take Mr.
Schofield's place as superintendent. 1t
is not known yet who will be selected.

writer is perpetrating little "fake

sane man ever intended such comments
to be taken seriously. As humorous
paper it is not a success either. Ii .
"fake" it's not bad, for it keeps man

If it really is an argument in favor

that Fudge" is about as logical or

self-evident that his disputant is az
imaginary one. His conclusions wouiG

but have seen Cinnamon fight, have seen
them on the "bum," have seen them

NOT long ago there appeared in a
weekly paper an advertisement setting
forth the fact that a young widow
about 80 years Of age desired a kind.
loving husband who would relieve her
of the cares and worries incident upon
the management of an $4,000 estate.
A man l knew answered that sad"
and in stating his position he told
some truth but left considerable un-
said, especially in regard to his present
surroundings. In course of time he
received a photograph of the lady and
printed blank to be filled in with
answers to the questions regarding his,
personality contained therein. The
blank in itself, to say nothing of the
questions, would inspire you with con-
fidence, especially the closing instruc-
lions which read something like this:
Gas a good business man you will
see at once that 1 have been to con-
siderable expense in my search for a
loved one and will enclose in your re-
ply the sum of five dollars, partly to
cover my outlay and also to show your
good faith"
Now the man know claims to have
come from Missouri, so after reaching
the conclusion that talking to the
picture wouldn't get him anything, he
filled out the blank. It was the effort,
Of his life. He told how handy he was,
around the house and dwelt long and.
earnestly on the question of his fond
ness for pets In lieu of the five, he
put up an argument about his "word
and honor"to pay someday that would
have convinced a district judge-and
that's saying considerable.
After many weary weeks of waiting
he received an answer. It's kind of
warm and may be of interest. Omit
ing the usual headings with address.
etc., it reads;
Dear Sir:-Your application for the.
