OMAHA FLYER IN COLLISION.

Omaha, March 13.-The Omaha Fly

west of this city, at midnight, killing
one trainman and injuring four other

A number of passengers in the for

their injuries are not serious. A spe,

Nay Be Delayed.
Washington, March 13.-The pleni-
potentiaries of the. powers, who are
engaged at Shanghai in negotiating
trade treaties with the Chinese com
missioners, have discovered what they
regard as flaws in the credentials of
the Chinese agents which may make
it impossible for them to bind their
government in treaty form. The mat
ter already has been brought to the
attention Of the state department and
Mr.. Conger is asking fo- advice, he,
too, being engaged Il tl3 negotiations.
It appears that the Chinese commits
sioners must memoriaiize the throne
before the treaties viii have force,
and the powers OBJECT to this lack OF
authority on the palt OF the commits
sioners. Because Mr.. Conger will
have to refer any treaty he makes,
before drawn, to his own government
here for approval, precisely as the
Chinese commissioners must do on
their side, the United States govern
ment is not in position to protest
very strongly against the sufhciency
of the Chinese credentials, SO that
Mr.. Conger viii go on with this treaty
making, while doing his best to have
the Chinese credentials enlarged.

r. R. Carney, who was elected as a
Conservative for Manitoulin, made a
speech explaining how he received
$4,000 to desert his party and support
the Liberal government. Carney ex-
planned his dealings with representa-
tives of the Hon J. R. Stratton and
that the last $1,000 was paid him two
months ago.
Carney, after being told there was
$4,000 in it for him, told President Nc
Gregor of the Manitoulin Conservative
association, and they decided to go
through with the affair. Carney gave
all the details of the deal and said he
had been asked to influence others
and had been promised several APP
pointments. Premier Ross stated that

GRAIN HELD UP AT CHICAGO.
Railroads Unable to Provide Cars for

Shtrn~.-t East.
Chicago, March 13.-Fully 100000
bushels of grain ale stored in Chicago
awaiting transport. ton east. The
railroads, however, are totally unable
to provide cars for the grain move
ment and are giving 10 promises as to
the time when suhIcieEt cars can be
had.
Western roads have nearly all or
dered their traffic men not to solicit
nor accept grain for movement to
Chicago until further notice, and the
condition promises to become worse
before it is better.
1t is estimated that the railroads
centering il Chicago ccu4l make i'm
mediate use of at least $4,000 more
cars. The grain conu.,ivn is but a
sample of the general cunlition which
exists with respect to ether kinds Of
traffic.
The only reason that the congestion
does not get beyond control is that the
railroads have placed embargoes
against dead freight" and are carry
ing only the high class commodities
which pay the greatest revenue.

ALMS-SEEKER FORGED
POLICE SURGEONS NAME
Original Note From DIR. Osborne Hal
Been Destroyed.


Been Destroyed.
Under the influence of liquor and
begging aims by presenting a letter
bearing the forged signature of Police
Surgeon Elton S. Osborne w. H. Cum
mings, white man, was arrested yes
terday morning by Mounted Patrolman
w. H. Smith. The prisoner will be
arraigned in Police Court this morning.
For some time Cummings has been
begging on the street and has been in
the habit of presenting a letter, pur-
porting to have been signed by the
commended as a deserving character.
The beggar got drunk yesterday and
a citizen who noted his condition. and
felt that Dr. Osborne had been misled
and imposed upon, notified the physi-
clan. A request was made at police
headquarters for the arrest of the i'm
postor.
When the prisoner was taken to the
police station house Dr. Osborne rec
ognized him as a man who was a pa
| tient at, st. Joseph's Hospital more
| than a year ago. At that time he
| seemed to be in hard luck and when
he recovered he was without a suit of
clothes. Some of those in the hospital
| loaned him a suit until he could Sc
cure employment and purchase an out
| fit for himself. Cummings seemed in
earnest and DR.. Osborne gave him a
note in which the facts of the case
were briefly related.
Afterwards DIR. Osborne learned that
the man was begging on the streets
and presenting the note as an evidence
of the fact that he was worthy The
matter came to the attention of the
! physician some time after Cummings
left the hospital, and the police sur
geon set out to find the man who was
using his name for the purpose of Sc
curing aims. DIR. Osborne found Cum
mings on Broughton street. took the
| note from him and destroyed 1t. The
| aims seeker. however, appears to have
been undated and when placed I'M
der arrest a note bearing the forged
signature of the police surgeon was
| found on him.

WILL RUN THROUGH CARS.
improvements For Summer Street
Car Service Promised.

Improvements of no little magnitude
in the manner of operating cars on the
lines of the Savannah Electric Com
pany during the summer are now con-
templated by Manager Kidder, and
will become effective when the season
at the resorts opens.
1t is the intention of Manager Kid
der to have cars on the A. & B. belt,
on Sunday afternoons, run direct to
the Casino. Such an arrangement will
mean the operating of many more cars
on the ThundeTbOlt branch and the do
ing away of transfers. The A. & B.
cars would take the tracks of the
Thunderbolt line on Bolton street turn
ing east from Abercorn street In this
manner patrons of the line would not
have to go down town to catch a
Thunderbolt car, or walk across the
city to the junction on Bolton street.
This through schedule will only be
operated on Sunday afternoons when
large crowds are going to the Casino.
Manager Kidder is also planning a
long trip for trolley parties. The trip
will be around the belt lines, out Boil
ton street, through Collinsville to Wa
ters avenue, into Dale avenue and by
the Fair Grounds to Thunderbolt. The
return to the city will be made over
the regular line that passes the Yacht
Club. To be able to do this the new
and old lines will have to be connected
by curve at Thunderbolt. Special
trolley rides are popular during the
dog days, and Manager Kidder intends
fixing an attractive route for the pa
irons of the road who buy cars for
an evening. The curves will be put
down at Thunderbolt as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made
and the tracks around the Bannon
Lodge, formerly used as a cutoff to
Isle of Hope, will be taken up.
The new schedule under which the
cars on the A. & B. belt and the Whit
aker street line are operated became
effective yesterday. 1t will be a day
or two before the patrons of the road
become accustomed to the change but
Manager Kidder anticipates splendid
results. The construction force that
was engaged in putting in the curves
on Broughton street was put to work
Yesterday laying heavy rails on East
Broad street, from Jones to Gwinnett
street, preparatory to the paving of
the street with vitrified brick by the
city.

LAWYER WANTED SAMPLE
OF TYPEWRITERS' WORK
MIR. SaussS Made Request and Ii Was
Promptly Granted.

Mr.. SauSsS Made Request and Ii Was
Promptly Granted.
A specimen of the work done by one
of the Remington typewriters at the
City Exchange was yesterday morning
sent to J. L. Saussy Jr., Esq, who
has announced his intention of repre-
senting the Misses Hartman at the
lunacy trial on Monday, and at the
same time intends trying to find out
who sent the women "a check for $780,
900 on the Southern Bank, signed the
City of Savannah.
Mr.. Saussy met the Mayors secre-
tary on the street and asked him what
make of typewriter he uses. Mr.. Gam
Bile gave the desired informa-
ton, and Mr.. Saussy expressed a
desire to secure a sample of the writ
ing done on the machine. A note was
promptly written by Mr.. Gamble on
the machine, and sent to Mr.. Saussy S
office.
The fact of Mr. Saussy in visiting
the City Exchange, and in wanting d
specimen of the typewriter's work,
indicates that he has had some
city officer under suspicion. Those in
the building, however. deny all knowl-
edge of the making out of the bogus
check and say that they do not know
who mailed it to the Misses Hartman.
1t may have been mailed by any one
of a thousand or more persons, they
say, the fact that the sisters demand
ed 100000 from the city having been
widely talked.
A city official suggested that
some person might have mailed
the check as a joke on the officers in
the bank, thinking that the Misses
Harman would go there to cash it, and
cause a scene when told that the pa
per was worthless. Indeed this is prob
ably just what did occur in the Opin-
ion of the official who was talking, and
whose name has never been connected
with the making out of the check.
The sisters are still kept apart in the
county Jail and were quiet yesterday.
They will not be kept in the same
room again during their confinement
here. The unfortunate women are be-
ing made as comfortable as possible
by Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeney, and
are receiving every care and atten-
ton.

SWAYNE POTTER LIBERATED.
Necessary Bond of $1,000 Was OBJ
tanned Yesterday Afternoon.

term of court acquitted of the charge
of numbering FRED Taylor and against
whom sim stands the Indictment FOR
the murder of Gugie Bourquin, was re-
leased from the county Jail yesterday,
a qualified bond of $1,000 having been
given as directed by the court.
The admission of the young man to
bail was first told in the Morning

first anticipated to get bondsmen.
Those who befriended the young man
by affixing their signatures to his
bond, were Messrs. Stonewall Cooper,

bond, Sheriff Schwarz Immediately is

the place having been left open for him

RESCUE WORK HER THEME.
President CrittentOn Mission Hon IS
May Speak Again sunday.

May Speak Again SuRdays
Mrs. Kate w. Barrett, national presi-
dent of the Crittenton Mission Homes
gave an hours talk last night to an
interested though small audience in
the Sunday-school room of the indie
pendent Presbyterian Church. The OBJ
Ject of the address was to explain the
scope and necessity of the mission
homes and it had been hoped to have
a large attendance.
That only few persons were present
may be accounted for in that the lee
ture was a postponed one, the notice
of its short, and that many other at
fractions took place on the same date.
Rev. pr. Fair in introducing the
speaker referred to the small audience
and Mrs. Barrett in her Introductory
likewise took notice of it, though she
said that if any were absent through
an attendance at the address of Miss
Blow she could readily forgive them
for the formative work of the kinder
garten and the Informative work of
the missions are closely allied, so close
ly that it is difficult to say where the
first stops and the second begins.
Much of the address was made up of
personal experiences and all tended to
tons as the missions. These homes are
preferable, Mrs. Barrett explained, to
private homes, as in the former there
is no incentive to restlessness often en-
gendered in the latter, through knowl-
edge of pleasures enjoyed by the other
inmates, but debarred from the de-
graded girl
In the mission homes there is no in
centiVa to this restleSsness because,
the speaker stated, when one gets up
at 5 O'Clock in the morning, washes,
irons, scrubs, sews and works in the
garden all day, one doesn't feel like
cutting up at O'clock in the even
ing"
Among other things the speaker said
that there should be but one moral
code for men and women; that women
| are no more hard to reform than men,
and that possibly young men need
more care and consideration than girls
because of the attitude of the great
majority of people in regard to the life
of man.
"All the bad women and all the bad
men don't do the boys as much harm"
she stated, ''as do those otherwise good
men and women who take the position
that a boy must be boy. We should
teach boys that they have no more
right to soil the white flower of their
MANHOOD IMAM mas girl TO deDaSe her
character. We should be the more care
full to inculcate this, for every woman
at some time in her life has her happi-
ness wrapped up in some man.
Because of the slim audience it was
decided by the meeting, upon motion
of Mr.. w. B. Stubs and DR.. II. S.
Clay, that the president of the board
of control of the mission be requested
to arrange for another meeting for
some time tomorrow, when Mrs Bar
rett will again be the chief speaker.

10000 Per Bottle,

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for a bottle Of
Johnsons Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business,
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute.-ad.
