IN FACE OF DEATH
H. C. TABB ESCAPED WITH A
FRACTURE ON THE LEFT LEG.
OVER 20 FEET EMBANKMEN7
FRIGHTENED HORSE PLUNGED
WITH BUGGY AT HIS HEELS.

Landed on the CObbIe stones on
River Street, Twenty Feet Below.
Sudden Lurch of Buggy Threw Mr..
Tabb Ont and He Narrowly
Escaped Death-Buggy Was De-
mOIIshed by the Drop, But Horse
Escaped Injury and Continued to
Run-Animal Leaped Over Railing
at the Foot of Ann street.
Thrown from his buggy at the very
edge of a twenty-foot embankment at
Ann and River streets, shortly after
noon yesterday, H. C. Tabb of No. SOB
Thirty-eighth street, west, had mirac-
ulous escape from death. He was
thrown with such violence that his left
leg was fractured just above the knee,
and he was badly bruised about the
head and body. The police ambulance
was summoned, and he was taken to
his home.
over the railing at the foot Of Ann
street. adjoining the lighting plant of
the Savannah Electric Company, the
horse plunged, carrying with him the
buggy in which Mr.. Tabb had but a
moment before been sitting. The We
hicle was dashed to pieces on the cob
blestones on River street, but the horse
was scarcely injured.
Badly frightened, the animal got him
self out of the wreckage and ran down
River street. Later he was caught and
taken to the stables hardly any worse
for his experience. No bones were
broken and the animal suffered from
only a few scratches. Quite a num-
Der of people saw the horse and buggy
as they went tumbling over the railing
to the cobblestones below on River
street, but before the spectators could
get to the spot the horse was on his
feet again and off.
Mr.. Tabb and H. L. Drake went to
the Savannah Electric Company's plant
on business, but Mr.. Drake was in the
building when the horse made the jump
over the embankment. He had left
Mr.. Tabb in the buggy, and had only
been gone a minute when the runa-
way occurred. The horse was within
only a few feet of the railing when he
became frightened and made the leap
that almost cost Mr.. Tabb his life.
The animal was frightened by the
unloading of coal wagon in the neigh
borhOod, and the plunge over the fence
came without the slightest warning to
Mr.. Tabb. The sudden lurch forward
threw him from the buggy and prob
ably saved his life. Had he followed
the horse and vehicle over the embank-
ment he would almost certainly have
been killed. He fell to the ground
heavily with his left leg under him,
and in this matter sustained the in
juries already described.

DISAGREEABLE DAY
OF COLD SPELL.

DrizElinE Rain and Low Tempera-
ture Made Yesterday DisaEreeabIe.
Yesterday was the most disagreeable
Of any that have come with the cold
wave. During almost the entire day
a drizzling rain fell. This, coupled
with an average temperature OF only
40 degrees, made the day one of the
worst as far as weather is concerned,
that has been experienced in some time.
The promise for warmer weather was
only partially kept.
The maximum temperature was
reached at o'clock in the afternoon.
when mercury stood at Al degrees. The
lowest temperature occurred at $50 in
the morning, when the registration was
only 81 degrees. This made the aver
age temperature 40 degrees, IA degrees
below the normal for the day. In
spite of the low temperature Of the
past few days the hot spell of the earli-
er part of the month has not yet been
overcome, and there is a monthly eX-
cess thus far of "a degrees. There was
.U9 of an inch of rainfall recorded yes
terday.
The predictions for to-day promise
no better outlook. Rising tempera-
lures are to be expected. and they will

will be another disagreeable day unless
the weather mans predictions are not
verified.
At $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon Fore
caster Boyer received the following ad-
visory telegram:
Northeast storm warning, $3.50 p.
m. at Cedar Keys Dunnellon, Tampa,
Punta Gorda, Punta Rosa. Key West,
Miami, Jupiter and Jacksonville. In
dications of disturbances near West
Cuban coast, which will probably move
northeast. High northeast winds to-
night on Florida peninsular and coasts
and high easterly winds over Western
Cuba"
There is only a slight trace of the
storm indicated on the weather map
and nothing can be said as yet regard
ing its intensity or character, other
than that given in the telegram. There
is no likelihood of the storm reaching
Savannah, at least. not unless there
should be new and sudden develop
ments.

THROUGH TWO SQUARES
COUNTRY NEGRO DROVE.
Until Captured by Policeman Davis
in Madison Square.

Under the influence of liquor and
with his thoughts miles away, Ed
ward H. Smith, an old country negro,
startled the natives who CHANGED to
be on Bull street late yesterday after
noon, by driving through Madison and
Chippewa squares.
AS a result Edward is in the cooler"
and his mule and wagon are in the
keeping of the police. The prisoner
protests that his mule was "incon-
trolable," and that he had no inten-
ton of breaking any Of the city or
dinances. But the police say that he
made no effort to prevent the old mule
trotting through the two most promi-
nent squares in the city.
Smith had a long drive ahead and
believes that he was justified in TAX
ing several nips before leaving Mar
ket Square. Edward either threw too
many under his shirt, or the quality
of the booze that he invested in was
not just what he expected; probably
both. His performance attracted a
great deal of attention, and Park
Patrolman r. T. Davis, almost caught
him in the act.
The negro had a wagon load of
groceries, and begged that he be per-
mitted to go home to the "old woman"
and fix up for a Thanksgiving dinner
on Sunday Unless the police relent,
and this is not very likely, Smith will
face Recorder Myrick in Police Court
tomorrow.

FROM PRISON WALLS
Ex-CAPT. CARTER WILL WALK, A
FREE MAN, THIS WEEK.
TO FIGHT FOR HIS MONEY.
FORMER CAPTAIN OF ENGINEERS
EXPECTS TO PROVE INNOCENCE.

At Fort LeavenwOrth Prison Next
Saturday Carter viii BE Given His
| Ltberty-Win BE Free Then and
Will at Once Begin Fight for the
Possession of Money Taken by
Government Since He Has Been
! Serving His Sentence-PrOmises TO
show Where All of His Money
Came From.
This week will be the last one of
prison life for Oberlin NJ. Carter, ex-
captain of engineers in the United
States army. Next Saturday he
will leave the Federal prison at Fort
Lleavenworth a free man.
Carter's freedom will come after an
actual service of three years and sew
en- months. He went to the peniten-
tiary in April, 1900. He was origi-
nally under a five-years' sentence, but
he was held ten months in custody
as a military prisoner at Governors
Island, pending appeals, before going
to Leavenworth. This time is always
allowed in the case of a military pris-
oner and Garter gained seven months
more by good conduct. At present
he is hospital clerk and prison
flower gardener, places which he has
held most of the time since his in
generation.
Upon his release Carter will devote
his entire time to the suits which are
now pending between him and the
United States, in which the question
is to be determined by the United
States courts whether he ever received
any money out of the work done under
his charge, either from Greene and
Gaynor, or from anybody else.
Carter feels confident that he will
be able to prove beyond question
that he never received any money, di-
rectly or indirectly, from any work
done under his charge, or from Greene
and Gaynor, or improperly from any
source. He declares that he pro-
poses to show beyond any question
exactly where he obtained every penny
of the money which he now has, or
ever had.
Carter says that 1t was a great mis-
take that he did not make such a show
ing before the court-martial, and he
says that his bitter experience has
taught him not to make such a mis-
take a second time. He says that
unfortunately he assumed before the
court-martial that a man was innocent
until he was proven guilty, but that
in the present litigation he is going
to show exactly where every penny
came from.
The question of where the large
amount of money came from, which
is now in court awaiting the decision
of the court, was not passed upon
either by the court martial, nor has it
by any court. This money is now in
the hands of receivers appointed by
the courts.

The boon for every housekeeper is
"Burnshine," the great polisher. Burn
shine makes silver. brass, nickel, cop

with little effort. and at very little ex-
pense. Burnshine won't injure the
hands, and it does not scratch. 1t is
the ideal polishing agent, absolutely
Indispensable in every household. It's
use saves time and worry. and always
results in bright and attractive sur
faces. Burnshine is used extensively
in Savannah, and always with satisfac-
ton. In fact, it is rapidly replacing
every other pO1isher. Burnshine is

THE EVERETT OF TODAY.
Superior Point. in This Instrument

I'VE are in a position to see and
know of the elegance and usefulness
combined in the Everett piano. and it
is because of our desire that you shall
have the advantage of this same
knowledge that we call your attention
to it. You may have known the Ever
EFT of some time ago, but do you know
the Everett of to-day? Such a wealth
of pure, rich tone was scarcely dream
ed of ten years ago. You may think
some other piano just as good, but why
think simply; why not know? The en-
tire Everett family are in our stock,
both the grand and the upright shapes,
and you are invited to come and in
spect them. We will not be satisfied
and you ought not to be, until you
have seen the new Everett piano. Let
US point out to you the many superior
points in the Everett which you can
find in no other piano, and no longer
will the little difference in price be-
tween this piano and others cause you
to hesitate"
We are taking in exchange other
makes of pianos and offer special bar
gains in a Steinway upright; also a
Knabe and a Harrington. Macarthur

COL. GORDON DENIES
INTEREST HAS WAIVED.
Says Interest in First Regiment Is
as Great as Ever.

as Greut as ever.
Savannah military was much inter
ested yesterday in the criticism of the
state militia by Assistant Adjutant
General w. J. Scott, who stated that
General Apathy" is now in command
of the military of Georgia, and that
there is less interest in military af-
fairs in Georgia now than he has known
for the last twelve years.
Col. G. A Gordon, commanding the
First Regiment, said, in discussing the
comment, that he could only speak for
the First Regiment, but of that he
could say that the interest displayed
by both officers and men is quite as
great as he has ever known it and that
it has been unusually active since the
troops returned from camp.
Such interest, Col. Gordon says, Is
the more noticeable and commendable
because during the present time of the
year, when the crops are moving, the
men and officers alike are so busy that
they have little time to devote to any
thing other than their business.
Maj. w. w. Williamson, command
ing the Guards, was also asked for an
expression of opinion, but declined to
give any.

ARGUMENT IN BRANCH
CASE FINISHED.
Judge Speer Reserved His Decision
Until a Later Day.

SUuSc Speer ENeSerNeu his Decision
Until "A Later Day.
Argument was finished yesterday aft
ernoon in the Branch bankruptcy case,
which has occupied the attention of
the United States Court for the last
two days. The right of a referee in
bankruptcy to appoint a receiver be-
fore the adjudication in bankruptcy of
the defendant company was the point
at issue.
Judge Speer issued the following or
der, and stated that he would reserve
his decision until some day later:
In the selection of custodians of
property, bankrupts and receivers dur
ing the absence of the Judge from the
district or the division, l suggest that
you select men of known probity and
intelligence, who possess the confidence
of the people and who reside as conven-
iently as may be to the location of the
assets. This suggestion, l trust, will
be sufficiently explicit as to your sub
sequent action. The satisfaction with
which the public regard the admins
tration of the bankrupt law is largely
enhanced by confidence in the intelli-
gence and character of the custodian
or receiver in charge"
