ANOTHER WRECK
ACCOR} ON BIZ B,
q
Freig It and Passenger
Trai.s Co. lie Near An
ga;Ila Yesterday
But 10 ONE WAS INJURED
But Both the Engines Were Badly
Damaged. Trains Were Runninu
Slow or Fatalities Would
Have Resulted.

Quite serious wreck occurred on
the Brunswick and Birmingham rail-
road at 11,40 O'Clock yesterday west
OF Buffalo, about u miles from Bruins
wick, and, while not "a Person was in
Jured, two engines were badly damag-
ed and will be out of commission for
some time.
The accident was a head-end collis-
ion between passenger train No. 80,
bound for Brunswick, and local freight
Nc. p, west bound.
Fortunately the two trains were not
running at very high rate of speed
which is probably responsible for the
fact that no one was injured. The
passenger was moving at the rate of
about ten miles an hour, while the
freight was not going over seven or
eight. Neither the engineer on the
passenger or freight saw the other
coming until it was too late to put ON
brakes, The train crew, seeing that
collision was inevitable, Jumped
Tor their safety and not a man was
injured
The two engines came together with
terrific force, and both were thrown
from the track. None of the freight
or passenger cars jumped the track,
and save for severe shaking up, the
passengers were unindured.
Just where the responsibility is to
be placed is not known, but the matter
is being investigated by B. & B. Off
cials. 1t seems, however that mis-
construction Of order was the cause.
A wrecking train was quickly made
up and left for the scene about /
O'Clock and at once commenced the
work of clearing away the little debris
and trains were moving over the track
as usual last night.

up to the Ames house nine miles south
of this place last night and shot and
killed Mrs. Ames Jackson, the hired
man and wounded Miss Ames, 19
years of age, by shooting her in the
shoulder.
The assailant first forced Miss Ames
and Jackson into the celler at the
point of a pistol. They heard a shot
and ran to the head of the stairs and
found that Mrs Ames had been killed.
Jackson was next killed. The young
woman fell with bullet in her shoul-
der, but when the murderer went to
the celler and shot Jackson again
she regained consciousness and ran
to the neighbors.
She says the stranger was a young
man. There is no known motive.

The firm keeps the Everett, the Ma
son & Hamlin and other high-grade
instruments which they are Offering
to the music-loving people at prices
unheard of in this section of the coun-
try. They have practically new and
but little used pianos Of the Knabe,
Chickering and Steinway makes which
the firm is really almost giving away,
judging from the extremely low prices
asked for those high-grade goods.
They have some admirable square
pianos in splendid condition and none
better can be bought for practice or
for use in chapels, halls and clubs, as
we'll as for dances.
These can be had for insignificantly
small sums.
Then, again, Macarthur & Sons Co.
have some superb grand pianos of the
Mason & Hamlin and the Jacob Doll
makes which are among the best of
their character to be found anywhere.
The prices on these instruments are
no object. They are for sale at most
any price and no house in the entire
South can supply better bargains in
grand pianos than Macarthur & Sons
Co.
The musical merchandise warerooms
are filled with the best goods and the
stock embraces everything that a
first-class house can keep. They can
be purchased better now than former
ly.
What can appeal to the soul of an
artist more than a Cecilian Piano
PLAYER the elimination of musical
art? Here are several kinds of the
instruments that are being placed in
the homes of our best people, and are
conceded by artists to be the musical
perfection of the century. 1t does
not require knowledge of music to
play one of those Instruments and
there is no pianist in the world to-
day who can equal the range, the eX-
preston and the beauty of tone of
one of those Cecilian Piano Players.
Then the firm has the Regina mu-
sic boxes in all varieties and combi-
nations and prices. No lady who
loves music can really afford to be
without one of those boxes. They are
uneXcelled in their way and the price
is not much. Despite the cost and
the beauty and the reputation of all
the pianos and organs and musical
accessories in the several warerooms,
Macarthur & Sons Co. are disposing
of them all at sacrifice sale to make
room for the Cotton King, the piano
the most implicit faith in it and they
propose to make the Cotton King the
best piano in the South.
They are on exhibition in the ware
rooms of the Macarthur & Sons Co.,
and when one considers that the Cot
ton King is made in Savannah and
has attained such a high standard he
can share in the pride of our pop
ular townsmen who conceived and
made possible one of the very best in
struments known to the musical
world. Call at the rooms of Macarthur
& Sons Co. and see the wonder in must
cal instruments. Hear the delightful
tones of the coming piano. and OBJ

taste will probably present a variety
of shades. AS to styles in riding hab-
its, they are always mannish enough
to prevent a great divergence from
year to year. The hang of the skirt
is always a problem for sartorial skill,
and it's particular cut is determined by
whether milady rides astride or pre-
fers the old fashioned side saddle.
Tight-fittihg, double breasted, long
skirted coats are fashionable, although
the senni-fitting fly fronted coat is like
wise much worn. Tight-fitting, I'M
scanned basques are striking in the
saddle. but 1t takes both figure and
an artist to encompass one.
II the golf girl likes to be at her
sport betimes in the morning, she will
find that one of the long skirted coats
are not amiss If properly cut, 1t clings
to the figure so as not to interfere
with soaring ball or sweeping club,
and yet not to be too tight-fitting to
interfere with utmost freedom of

costume. Whether il be of linen or

Some of the felt hats are pretty In the

HOLIDAY SPORTING
COSTUMES FOR THE
AMERICAN GIRL
BY HARRIET HAWLEY.

AS the followers of fresh air philos-
ophy increase in number, each re-
curing holiday season finds athletics
in greater prominence. From the golf
links of the Carolnas to the skating
ponds of the North the American girl
will spend her Christmas in the open
air. If her costume permits both free
dom of motion and graceful lines, it
will be as becoming as the pink cheeks
and bright eyes which exercise gives.
An outing costume is therefore an
indispensable part of milady's Christ
mas wardrobe.
If the temperature provides skating
it should have dash of warm color
to bid defiance to the frosty air. One
of the new knitted jackets would be
admirable. In a jaunty hip length
with trim belt and pouched front, it is
hard to believe that they are sister
creations to the mems sweaters Of
other years. Like the knitted golf
vests, they fasten down the front.
One of these skating jackets is
fashioned on the lines of a Norfolk
Jacket The knitted belt gives long
wasted effect, while the slightly V
neck allows a glimpse of the dainty
stock collar beneath. The sleeves are
only moderately tight-ftting and have
a deep cuff. With the addition of a
snug fitting pedestrian skirt and soft
felt hat, the skating girl makes a pref
ty picture.
Red knitted jackets will certainly be
popular; so popular that the girl who
