Narrow Escape at Noon of Master
Frank 0uperrieu.
His Companion, George Yancey,
Rendered Assistance Which
Saved His Life.
Is ONLY SLIGHTLY INJURED

Frank Duperrieu, age six years, the
son Of Mr.. Julian Duperrieu, the we'll
known tailor, fell into deep we'll to-
day at noon, and was saved from
drowning only by the presence Of
mind Of his companion, George Yam
cey, ago nine years.
The boys had been playing about q
well on the Yancey place on North
Thirteenth street near the Rowland
town road. when the Duperriau boy
fell in. The fall was 90 feet before
water was struck, and in descending
the little fellow struck brick and
badly cut and bruised his head.
Although badly injured, by clinging
to the sides of the well the little fell
low managed to keep from drowning
until his companion, who had started
to run for assistance, threw him down
a rope with bucket attached, and to
this the youth chung until his com
panion's cries for help brought Mr..
Ernest Pell, Mr.. Duperrieu's brother
in-lsw, to the scene. and he pulled the
boy out by the rope.
When the little fellow fell into the
well the top closed down but his COM
panion lost little time in lending as
sistance. and had he not had the
presence Of mind to throw down the
rope, the unfortunate boy would
have drowned before assistance could
be secured. Mr.. Duperrisu lives a
short distance away from the scene
of the accident and was brought there
by the cries for help.
DIR. b. B. Griffith, who was at
the time making call in that neigh.
borhood, was called in and dressed
the injury to the little fellows
head.

titude of the striking mine workers
here is becoming more demonstrative.
All last night mob Of fully 1000
men and boys were on the march.
They first visited West Shenandoah

to seek refuge in camp from the coal
and iron police. The strikers assaulted
the breakers with stones, doing much
damage to window glass. From the
West Shenandoah mine a mob pro-
ceeded to the Indian Ridge colliery,
where they were confronted by body

Contract for Building the Public IL
brary is Declared Off,
New Bids Will Be Asked for and
Opened August II By the
Trustees.
CONTRACTOR DAVIS RELEASED

There was meeting last night of
the board of public library trustees,
and Contractor B. 7. Davis asked to
be released from his contract to build
the new public library, not because he
would lose anything himself, but be-
cause some of his contractors
would. He offered to forfeit the $500
left with the board rs guarantee that
tine building would be erected accord
ing to plans and specifications, but the
trustees released him without requir-
ing him to lose anything.
As one of the trustees stated, the
board did not desire to cause anyone
to lose anything on the contract. The
error made was unintentional, and the
board did not desire that anyone suffer
from it.
1t was then decided, after Contract
or Davis had been released, to ask for
new bids to be opened August IL at 6
p. m. Bids will then be taken in
three ways; one set STIMULATING the
cornice and parapet shall be of terra
Gotta and roof of thing; one making
the cornice and parapet Of metal and
the roof Of slate, and one calling for
brick frieze and dental course in
stead of stone with tile roof.
The above action, as forecast exclus-
lively in yesterdays Sun, was brought
about by discovery of an error in the
bid of Chamblin and Murray TO fur
nish the brick. Their bid was $l2, 1881,
and should have been about two thous-
and dollars more. Chsmblin and
Murray did not discover their mistake
until they had signed up with Con.
tractor Davis, and consequently could
have been held to their agreement just
the same.
IL is believed that in order to get
the bids within the cost of the build
ing. $50, 900, the roof will be changed
as explained yesterday, from thing to
slate, and the cornice from thing to
metal.

The Police Will Take Orders From
Chief Collins Alone.
They Want to Hold Their Jobs and II
Is Understood, Unless Ep1oined,
Will Obey Collins.
INJUNCTION SUIT NOT FILED

City Marshal James Grow has fixed
no time for filing his injunction suit
to prevent Chief of Police James Col
Inns from entering into the discharge
of his duties, but states that it will
be in time to be served before Chief
Collins attempts to assume charge.
1t seems that the police will take
their orders from Chief Collins, how
ever. The latter, in case the suit is
filed, will execute bond and proceed
with the performance of the duties,
and il Marshal Grow undertakes to
hold on and direct the police until the
final settlement of the case in the
courts, the police will ignore him and
obey Chief Collins.
The reason of this is that Chief Col
Inns was appointed by the police board.
and the police board did the bidding
Of Mayor Yeiser, who appointed the
police and wants them to receive their
orders from Chief Collins. Another
thing is that the officers, who depend
on the mayor and police board for
their jobs an hope to be reappoint-
ed ty them in December, will stick
to the mayor and board, and not to
the marshal, who has nothing to do
with the appointments.
IT seems that Marshal Grow is GO
ing to get the hot end Of 1t, 80 far
as the management Of the police is
concerned, but he intends to fight 1t
in the courts Just the same.

Should Not BE National in Its
Characteristic, on the other Hand,

There was considerable discussion as
to the part the city should play in the
ceremonies incident to the re-commit-
eliminated in a decision that the city
should bear no official part at all in
the event if it should be devoid of es-
pecial and imposing functions. In
such case, the city would confine it's
participation to some material assist
ance in meeting the necessary ex-
penses.
On the other hand, should it be de-
cided by the committee of the patriotic
societies interested to make the occa-
sion one of such Importance and con-
sequence as to require the attendance
of notables, the city will be ready to
bear a part in the arrangements, and
Will take upon itself the inviting and

A "HOWL" FROM OVER HOME.
CharIestoninn Charges Atlantic
Yacht Club with DiscOurtesy.


Yacht Club with DiscOurtesy.
Mr.. NJ. S. Sullivan the owner of
the Yacht Edith II, which sailed
against the Flirt in a race over the
Casino course Sunday, has returned
to Charleston and. under a scare
head" in the Charleston Post, has put
up a dismal howl" about what he
terms his discourteous treatment in
Savannah.
According to the statement credited
to him the Atlantic Yacht Club prom
Used to have a series of three races in
which the Charleston visitor was to
take part, and the winner of the best
two out of the series was to get $3.50.
Also that there was to be a series of
five races for a cup, this to be awarded
to the yacht winning the best three
out of five.
Being delayed in reaching Savannah
he did not take part in the first race,
Aug. 10, and was notified, he says,
that he would have to consider that
race lost; then, when he showed up,
Aug. II. he found that the Savannah
yachts had gone to Warsaw and would
not race, and he was told that if he
wanted race he could sail against
the Flirt. This trim little lark he
calls q river sailing machine"
1t was apparent to Mr.. Sullivan and
his friends, the article states, that the
Savannahians were afraid of the Edith
II, and had jointly agreed not to meet
the Charleston boat, preferring to let
her race against the machine" that
they might get some idea of her sail
ing powers.
II is true that the Charleston visitor
was expected to take part in the race
that was sailed over the Casino course
Sunday before last but the rest of MIR.

NO PROOF To INDICT
BEEF TRUST BEFORE GRAND JURY
AT SPECIAL MEETING.
ONE WITNESS EXAMINED.
JURY REPORTED NOT ENOUGH Ey-

Diligence and Says Matter VIII BE
Pushed.
The beef trust was again the subject
of the grand jury's elaboration yes
terday at a special meeting. Only one
witness, Mr.. f. S. Abrahams, was
summoned before the jury. but he was
expected to prove a star witness, that
is from the viewpoint of those who ex-
pected true bill against the trust.
All the members of the jury. with
the exception of one or two excused
by Judge Barrow, were present and
Mr. Abrahams was questioned closely
for fifteen minutes as to his connec-
ton with the Savannah branches of
the packing houses in the capacity Of
arbitrator, the duties of that position,
his knowledge of any collision among
them as to the maintenance of prices,
and other such matters.

Want More Evidence.
In a short charge to the jury before
Diminishing it, Judge Barrow said thai.
the evidence so far, regarding the beef
trust was incomplete, but that a good
deal of evidence had been obtained,
though not enough to find a bill; he
was glad to know the matter was still
receiving consideration and that the
jurors were searching for additional
testimony. He stated further that as
soon as this testimony was obtained
the jury would again be called to-
gether and the investigation resumed.
In discussing the matter after the
jury had been dismissed, Judge Bar
row said that the matter of securing
evidence against the trust is being
