DOG STRUCK BICYCLE;
GIRL FELL DOWN.
Sat on Curbing Waiting for n Cab
While Men Stared.


A great big horrid dog caused it all.
He ran directly in front of her bicy-
Gle, "as the wheel began to wabble,
and she was just about to fall"
It happened shortly after noon yes
terday at Bull and Hull streets as she
was about to circle Chippewa Square.
The collision with the careless canine
was unexpected and her nerve failed
her. The bicycle slipped from under
her and down she went on the hard
asphalt.
She didn't cry, although her right leg
panied her not little. and the pretty
open work hose was covered with dust.
She was a sensible girl and She
sat on the iron cover to the corner sew
er until some one had secured a cab.
A physician stopped and offered her his
buggy, but She preferred the cab.
She was pretty, and a dainty little
foot and shapely ankle, and Well 1t
caused three bold bad newspaper men
to stand and stare. She was too bad
~ worried, however, to notice the rude
news gatherers, or the other dozen IN
terested and attentive onlookers. 1t
was not an occasion for conventional
ity and her-well her limb seemed to
be giving her considerable pain.
When the cab did arrive the pretty
miss permitted the NJ. d. to assist her
in getting up, and She limped over to
the conveyance. The bicycle had es-
capped injury and was showed into the
front seat with the driver. Whip was
put TO the horse and She was carried
away.
The crowd scattered and the newspa-
per men looked at one another.
ooh Fudge!" came in chorus.
They had forgotten to get her name.

EVANGELIST MARTIN
WILL CONDUCT SERVICES
In the Tabernacle Now Being Erect
ed in Park Extension.


The Christian people of Savannah
and others are deeply interested in the
coming of Rev. T. r. Martin of Texas
to conduct the union services in the
Park Extension week after next. DR..
Martin has never been heard in Savan-
nah, but is well known in Texas and
throughout the West as a man whom
God has wonderfully blessed.
Some one in writing of him says:
you hardly find a church but is OPP
posed to the modern evangelist if
not they only need him once. No
church is opposed to Martin, especially
If they have heard him. In the first
place he is a powerful speaker, and no
man can hope to be a success as an
evangelist-any kind of a preacher
who has not eloquence and zeal. He
has power over his hearers as few
speakers have. Everywhere he goes
people say, Why don't you call mourn
ers and do as other do? Why, you
could stir the entire town. He in
variable replies. To stir is the very
thing l am praying not to do. I do
nothing that my Bible does not teach
and 1 have too much regard for my
brethren in the pastorate TO raise a
'hurrah.'
A sweet singer will accompany the
evangelist, which will add much inter-
est and pleasure to the services.

GLOOMY AND PECULIAR
Was the Weather Yesterday and
Nobody Seemed Pleased with 1t.

Nobody Seemed Pleased with 1t.
Whether the storm center in the
lake region was responsible for the
disagreeable meteorological conditions
yesterday in Savannah or not, the peo-
pie cared little. What they knew was
that it was threatening and drizzling,
nearly all day and it wasn't a good
honest rain to keep folks indoors, but
just enough to spoil any trip or ex-
cursion planned and interfere with
cycling, automobiling and walking
The drop In temperature that had
been expected appeared to have got
ten side tracked and there was sim
ply a muggy, murky atmosphere with
out any redeeming qualities.
The rift in the clouds that came late
in the afternoon was rather tardy and
gave very little satisfaction. The plans
for the day had ali been changed and
the night was not improved by the
dampness and murkiness that contin-
ued to prevail. The weather man pull
ed in his storm flags yesterday, dis
played Thursday night on orders from
Washington and gave it out that
Saturday would likely be fair, with a
considerab BILE drop in temperature
along towards night. Cool weather has
been noted in the cotton belt. and in
the Ohio valley it has even been cold.
Northwest winds will bring some of
the GOODNESS this way, but il wont be
chilly enough to damage the crops or
cause the people to get out their furs
again.

EVERYTHING IN READINESS
FOR THE BAPTISTS.
Preparations About Completed for
Their Coming.


Rev. j. D. Jordon, chairman of the
General Committee preparing for the
coming of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, said yesterday that arrange
ments are progressing pleasantly and
satisfactorily. The crowd that will at
tend the convention in Savannah will
likely be the largest in some years, and
may be over twenty-five hundred dele
gates and visitors. AS is we'll UNDER
stood, the membership of the conven-
ton is on a financial basis, and the
number of delegates is not nearly that
of the visitors expected. A great many
delegates will bring their families, and
there will be visitors interested who
are not members. The members of
the Alumni Association of the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary will
also help to swell the gathering.
The Committee on Housing is still
ready to receive the names of persons
wishing to accommodate visitors, and
while it is not expected that any great
number of them will make arrange
ments in advance they will come early
next week, expecting to find lists and
particulars in the hands of the Recep-
ton Committee at the station. 1t has
been suggested that some member of
each family desiring to entertain Wis
itors make it a business to go to the
Union Sattion and the Georgia Central
Depot to assist the committeeman in
placing those desiring information and
quarters.
Among the distinguished visitors ex-
pected, who were heard from yester-
day and announced their intention of
coming, was the Hon. j. ]. Darling of
Washington, d. c. Mr.. Darling is one
of the most prominent corporation at
torneys at the national capital, and is
known for his eloquence and ability.
1t is understood that he will take an
important part in the convention.

LAD SEEKS DAMAGES
FROM KATHRYN KIDDER.
Boy Injured in "MOIIy Pitcher" Be
Iieves in can Eye For an Eye.'

Boy Injured in "MOIIy Pitcher" Be
Iieves in Gan Eye For an Eye"
A suit for the recovery of $1,000
damages was instituted against Miss
Kathryn Kidder, the actress, in the
Superior Court yesterday. The COM
plainant is Mrs. Eliza Murrell, who
sues for her son, Edward Murrell,.
boy of Is, who was injured in per-
Torrance of the Kathryn Kidder The
atrical Company last July. An attach
ment proceeding has heretofore been
instituted and levied upon the proper
ty of the actress. The institution of
the suit at this date is for the purpose
of having it served upon Miss Kidder,
who, it is thought will be in Savan-
nah soon. The sheriff has been in
structed to hold the pleadings for serv-
ice.
The performance in which the boy
was injured was molly Pitcher"
stirring drama Of Colonial days. Miss
Kidder in the title role fired a can
non, in the grand climax. The scene
was most realistic-in fact. too much
so-for the wadding of the cannon
struck young Murrell, who was busily
engaged in the wings executing an
imitation of the firing of a Calling
gun. AS he stood thus engaged,
pounding on a cushion with a couple
of sticks, his back to the cannon, he
was struck in the back with the wad-
ding from the cannon fired by the he
roine. The wound was so serious as to
require a surgical operation
On Ian. 20, last, on the occasion of
the engagement of Miss Kdder in
IAN Eye For an Eye" the boys
mother sued out an attachment before
Judge Naughtin. which was levied on
the scenery and other effects of Miss
Kidder The property was replevied,
and a claim filed by P. NJ. Cooley,
agent for Jules Murray. who gave a
bond. with Miss I<idder and Aaron
Ferst. The outcome of the suit is
watched with much interest since it
may necessitate the appearance of
Miss Kidder in the court. The pro-
ceedings have been instituted by

Monthly Report of Tax Assessors
Shows Much Building.
The books in the office of the Board
of Tax Assessors show that forty
eight permits for building and repairs
were issued last month against fifty
nine during April, 1902. Yet there is
more building going on in Savannah

Several houses may be built on the
strength of a single permit, and too. a
great many of the permits issued In
April, 1902 were for repairs. During
last month permits were given for the
construction of twenty-five two-storv

All of the evidence has gone to show
that the shooting was an accident and
that Sullivan had no idea that the pis-

satisfied, however, that the young man
pointed the revolver at Crawford when
he fired and in this respect violated the
law. If he was guilty of the unlaw-

Their Lamps.
The fact that many of the cab men
are violating the city ordinances daily
will be brought to the attention of the
police to-day, and something will be
done towards making the cab drivers
conform to the law.
The complaint that is being made at
this time is that a great many of
those who own cabs have failed to
have painted on their lamps numbers
to conform to those worn on their
coats. The reason for insisting that
this wise ordinance be enforced is OBJ
vious. Not a few of the cab owners
have the numbers written in pencil on
slips Of paper and pasted on the
lamps, while the ordinance distinctly
provides that the numbers be painted
in full view on the lamps. The num-
bers as written in pencil by some of
the drivers might stand for almost
