How 20 Ligh, a Solid R>,dx.

Cadogan Morgan was the FIRST eec.
trician to experiment with electric light
In solid bodies. This was in 1885. He
6rst inserted two wires into stick OF
wood and caused the spark to pass be-
tween them. This had the effect of IL
Illuminating the stick beautiful blood
red. An ivory ball. an orange or an ap-
pie may be lighted in the same manner.
Some experimenters prefer the lemon
for this purpose, II being very suscepti-
hle to the electric discharge, flashing
forth at every spark as spheroid OF
brilliant golden light. The wires used
for this purpose should be brought
within about half an inch Uf each other
inside the lemon.

killing n Bull without Weapon.

Cayetano, famous Spanish toreador.
once was strolling across meadow
with couple of friends when his at
tentlon was attracted by an old and
lnfnrlated bull which was galloping to-
ward them with lowered head and
erect tail. Cuyetano had no weapon,
not even cane, but he seized dust
coat which one of his friends was car
rying over his arm. AS soon as the
bull got close to them Cayetano bade
his companions make theft escape
while he engaged the animals atten-
ton. Using the coat rs n capa, he
drove the bull crazy with fury, step
ping aside with the deftest agility at
each Of the animals charges. In this
manner he caused the bull to turn
sharply In the midst of its onward
rushcs until finally an ominous crack
was heard, and the bull fell in heap,
with its backbone broken by the sud
den wrench given by the animals alb

association, presided over the meeting.
He submitted his annual report, which

Mr.. r. B. Reppard stated that the
expenditures for wood for the poor

Invite Guests from Georgia
Gen. w. w. Gordon will probably
appear before the Committee of the
Whole of the City Council this after
noon on behalf of the committees of
the several patriotic societies that
have in charge the arrangements for
the re-interment of the remains of
Gen. Nathaniel Greene. An applica
ton for the aid of the city in the un-
dertaking was presented yesterday, and
the privilege of appearing before Coun-
ell was asked for Gen. Gordon.
The application was signed by Mr..
r. r. Waller, as secretary for the COM
mittees from the Georgia Society of
the Colonial Danes of America, the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
the Society of the Sons of Colonial
Wars in Georgia, the Sons of the Rev
olution in the state of Georgia, the
Georgia Historical Society and the de-
scendants of Gen. Greene.
1t is desired that the city invite the
Governor of Georgia and the Governor
of Rhode Island to attend the cere-
monies of the re-interment of the re-
mains. 1t is also desired that the city
invite such representatives of the leg
islative departments of the two states
as may be decided proper, the expense
of the entertainment of the distinguish
ed visitors to be borne by the city.
When Rhode Island hoped for the
privilege of re-interring the remains
of Gen. Greene in it's soil. the appli-
of those in that state interested in the
prospective event to invite representa-
tives of Savannah and Georgia to be
present, the expense of their trip to be.
borne by Rhode Island. 1t is held that
Savannah has an opportunity TO show
hospitality equal to that of the Rhode
Islanders.
At a meeting Of the committees a
few days ago it was agreed that Gen
Gordon should represent them before
the City Council in the enlistment of
the aid of the city. Expressions from
the Mayor and members of Council
have induced the belief that this as
sistance win he forthcoming.

LADY TAINTED AWAY.
When Angry Men Began Fighting
Near Her on the Street.

When Angry Men Began Fighting
Near Her on the Street.
A comedy was enacted on CASTOR
street, near Abercorn, night before last,
but it was a comedy that could only
be appreciated as such after 1t had
been concluded. The lady who filled
the only feminine role is not yet ready
to admit that 1t was comedy
The lady and her husband had
alighted from the car at Habersham
and CASTOR street, having been to the
Yacht Club. This was about midnight
They were vending their way houe-
ward, when their ears were suddenly
assailed by a great clatter and tramp
ling behind them.
Both glanced around, but two men
were bearing down upon them so rapid
ly that they could not make room for
them to pass The lady stepped to one
side quickly, and the leading man seiz-
ed hold of her husbands umbrella,
crying Let me have this umbrella a
minute."l
The gentleman had no intention of
giving up his umbrella. The man
caught 1T with such force that he
whirled the gentleman around, but did
not break his hold. BY that time the
man in pursuit had caught up with
the other, and he either knocked or
pushed him over.
Then the last conner seemed dispos-
ed to run himself. He ran around
the. Yacht Club member, while the
man who had been pursued made
elaborate motions, crying that he was
going to shoot his opponent and reach
ing to his hip. Just at this juno
ture the lady tainted, and the hus-
band had to devote his attention to
her. From the corner of his eye he
caught glimpse of the belligerents,
who were apparently picking up
stones in the street to begin such a
battle as negro boys wage.
Just here the gentleman's troubles
began in earnest. His wife is the
proud possessor of a trick fan, one
that will open in only one way. If
one tries to open 1t in any other than
the right way it will fall to pieces,
which will all dangle from one sup
port. Now the husband was wise"
about the. fan, but the agitation of
the moment was so great that
he couldn't make it work
He was very anxious to
lady, but his first effort put the fan
out of commission, and he couldn't hit
the combination. He fumbled desper-
ately, but all his fingers were thumbs
and the trick fan proved it's entire
unreliability in emergencies. He had
to finally resort to his Panama, and
under the gentle breeze it generated
he finally experienced the delight of
seeing his wife regain her senses She
was still overweight, however, and
1T was not until after they had reach
ed home that she entirely recovered
Yesterday she was laughing over the
occurrence, but at the time she did
not think it at all funny.
Inquiry was made of the police in
an effort to learn If the belligerents
had eventually succeeded in murder
ing each other, but both. apparently,
had escaped, for there had been no re-
port of the fracas.

THROUGH TRAINS AUG. l.
Macon, Dublin and Savannah VIII
Soon Establ It's Service


Traffic Manager E. E. Williamson
of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
Railroad was in the city yesterday,
talking over the establishment of the
through train service that line is to
have between Macon and Savannah
He conferred with officials of the
freight and passenger departments of
the Seaboard Air Line to settle details
relative to the new service.
Mr.. Williamson said to a representa-
tive of the Morning News that the
through trains will probably be put on
on Aug. 1. Both freight and passen-
ger service will be afforded between
Macon and Savannah and intermedi-
ate points. He was not able, he said,
to give the details, as they have not
yet been agreed upon, but announce
ment will soon be made of schedules.
The service is to be via the Sea-
board Air Line from Savannah to vi
dalia and via the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah from Vidalia to Macon. The
passenger trains, like those of the
Seaboard Air Line, will run into the
Union Station.

lowing Work That Is Going on.
The work of laying sidewalks in the
Collinsville section of the city is pro-
crossing rapidly. With one or two ex-
ceptions. on the north side of Henry
street. the sidewalk of artificial stone
is continuous from the tracks of the
Atlantic Coast Line to Waters avenue,
and work is being pushed on the south
side of the street as we'll as on other
streets in the neighborhood. The sec
ton being thus improved presents a
changed appearance, and is also be-
ing brought into close touch and COM
munication with the rest of the city.
No work on sidewalks has yet been
done west of the Atlantic Coast Line
on the streets on which such work is
required by ordinance, and pedestrians
now have to trudge through heavy
sand after leaving the sidewalks where
they stop at Price street, until the
railroad track is crossed. The ordi-
nance provided that the city was to
do this work If the property owners
failed to do it within sixty days from
its passage. This limit expired on May
Is, but as there has been some delay
in the city getting the curbing down,
this portion of the ordinance has not
been pressed. As soon, however, as
the city force completes the work of
putting down the curbing. which will
be within the next two or three weeks,
property owners on the west side of
the railway tracks will be required to
lay sidewalks in front of their prop
erty.
Active work is being done in street
grading, which was greatly needed

arrangements are being made to put
in a number of cess pools to carry
off the surface water, which now set
ties very EXCEPTIONALLY in various
places. The work of paving Price
street will shortly commence, and as
fast as the street crossings which are
now on that street are removed. they
will be laid at the intersection of the
streets in Collinsville.
A street railway force has recently
been busy removing the temporary
turnout at the corner of Henry street
and Waters avenue. and a city force
has greatly improved that portion of
Henry street by grading the street
down to Waters avenue.

The owners of property there recognize
the value of their holdings, and are

road, values will soon increase, and

MOORE HELD Fer TRIAL.
Negro Lawyer Must Face Grand Jury
Charged with Pension Frauds.

The preliminary examination in the
case of w. E. Moore, the negro law
yer charged with frauds involving the
making of false affidavits in support
of pension claims, was continued yes
terday before United States Commits
sioner Edwin c. Ryals. AS result
of the hearing Moore was held to await
the action of the grand jury of the
United States District Court
But one witness of importance was
examined-Louisa Simpson, the woman
in whose behalf the application for a
pension had been made. Moore had
had charge of the application and of
the supplementary steps connected
Herewith and the very decided irreg-
ularitieS in the manner I'm which the
atfidaVits were made and as to other
matters connected with the application
We're responsible for the arrest.
The woman testified that she had
turned the matter of securing a pen
sion over to her brother. Jerry Steph-
ems, giving him all the papers she
had that had any connection with the
case. She swore that she had never
signed or authorized the signing of the
original application for a pension or
of any of the subsequent affidavits and
that she had known absolutely nothing
of the matter until she was summoned
to Savannah to give evidence before
Pension Examiner Parkey.
1t developed during the hearing that
the woman is not a widow, but that
since the death of Jesse Simpson. she
had married and is now living with
Taylor Williams. The rules of the pen
sion department require that the wild
ow of a soldier shall not marry again
without FORGETTING her pension: and the
developments of the testimony at the
hearing yesterday showed she was
never entitled to receive one.
The woman swore she had been told
by Moore to tell the pension examiner
that she had never been married to
Williams and was still the widow of
Simpson. This imaginative story of
her life, she said, she had declined to
tell.
The only other witness examined by
the commissioner was George w. Da-
Wis, the Guyton notary public. before
whom the several affidavits in the case
are said to have been made. Mr. Davis
admitted that the claimant in the case,
Louisa Simpson, had never appeared
before him to make an affidavit, and
identified the signature of Moore to an
affidavit in which the defendant testf-
fed he had known Louisa Simpson for
eighteen years and knew her. of his
own knowledge, to be the widow of
Jesse Simpson.
At the conclusion of the hearing the
commissioner held Moore in $500 bail
to await the action of the grand jury
of the District Court. The bond was
furnished and Moore was given his
liberty.
The notary public. Davis, has also
been arrested on a warrant charging in
substances the same state of affairs.
The specific charge against him is af-
fixing his jurat to the affidavit of wit
nesses who never appeared before him.
and thus assisting in the we'll laid and
well executed scheme to defraud the
government. A hearing in his case
will be held on Saturday.

HURT IN A SMASH-UP.
CoIOred Preacher Wants Damages
From Steamboat Company.


In the City Court yesterday the case
of w. H. Harper, against the South
ern Transportation Company occupied
the attention of Judge Norwood and
all ged to have been inflicted on him
while he was passenger aboard the
steamer Katie.
The evidence showed that on Dec. 10,
last,the boat ran into the Seaboard Air
Line bridge, few miles west of the
city, and that 1t was in the resulting
confusion that the injuries were in
fiicted. Harper himself swore that the
boat careened to one side and in the
excitement that followed, he had been
trampled upon by the other passen-
gers in such a way as to injure him
for life. He declared he had never
been the same man since the accident,
and that he never expected to be the
same man again.
double charge of negligence was
made in the petition, and the evidence
of the plaintiff The first charge was
that the boat had been improperly and
negligently loaded-that if il had been
properly and carefully loaded it would
never have careened and the accident
would never have occurred. The sec
ond charge was that the accident was
due to the negligence and careless
handling of the boat by the pilot.
motion for a non-suit was made
at the conclusion of the Introduction Of
evidence for the plaintiff, but this was
overruled by Judge Norwood. The
introduction of evidence for the de-
PENDANT had been we'll begun when the
recess was taken until tomorrow
morning. Twiggs & oliver represent
the plaintiff and Saussy & Saussy the
defendant. Harper, who is a colored
prea cher, wants damages in the sum
of $4,000.
