necelves Injuries, the First Being Very Badly Hurt. | Advertiser Bureau, Mobile, Sept. 2. most distressing and probably fatal accident occurred about 5:30 o'clock this afternoon on the Shell Road a little over four miles below the city. as a result of which young married woman Is lying unconscious at midnight with an ugly gash in her head and possible concussion Of the brain, little girl and q young man injured, fortunately, however, neith- CT seriously.
 Robert Chamblin, with Mrs. Victoria Boggiano and her sister, Miss Mamie Fop- piano. aged 13 were out for drive behind the young mans horse. Mrs. Boggiano the shaft and called Mir. Chamblin's at- tention to 1t. He pulled up the horse and as he did so the shaft came loose from the axle on one side and fell, striking the horses heels. He at once began kicking and completely demolished the front part of the buggy. kicking MT. Chamblin out, knocking him unconscious, badly bruising him and then ran away. When Chamblin recovered he saw the horse running some distance down the road. the buggy and animal zig-zagging from side to side. Sud- denly he saw the buggy strike a bridge and Mrs. Boggiano, who was trying to climb over the back of the buggy, fall head downward. A little further and the little girl was thrown out. the horse con- tinuing his wild flight until the buggy was torn to pieces.
 On arriving at the bridge MT. Chamblin found the woman unconscious, her head being in a hole in the bridge. which had evidently been broken in by the horse and vehicle. The woman's head was against a small iron pipe which in falling, had been struck and gash made. She was bleeding when MT. Chamblin picked her up and carried her into a residence and summoned a surgeon who at once at- tended her. The girl was able to help herself. Mrs. Boggiano, her sister and the young man were later brought to the city to the residence of Mrs. Louis Kuh1 on Royal Street. near State Street, and further treated. The surgeon could not, at late hour, tell if there had been con- cussion of the brain. The ladies, with another sister, had only a few days since come to Mobile from their home in Mem phis. Tenn, to visit Mrs. Kuhl.
 When seen tonight Mir. Chamblin was greatly distressed because of the accident not caring for his own injuries and only hoping for the recovery of Mrs. Boggiano.
 Superintendent s. S. Murphy of the public schools of Mobile County, has been receiving from day to day. since the adoption of the new system of school books, reports from the principals of schools in the city and county, estimates of the number of books of the specified classes, to be used during the school term which begins October 1st next. This has so far proved a laborious work and the principles have had all the work they could do getting the necessary data. A Encouragement is now staring the su- perintendent in the face, however. as he Is confronted with the difficulty of get ting some responsible person to take charge of the book dispensary. This po- sition was offered to a woman who, for long time has been engaged in the sale of school books, but she found she had not sufficient room to carry the large amount of books necessary. Other book dealers were offered the job. but the pay was not sufficient so they alleged, and there is yet to be appointed dispenser of the regulation books to be used in the public schools of the city and county of Mobile. The Board of School Commission ersers will meet tomorrow, and it is ex- pected that a way out of the dilemma will be found.
 After the storm comes the calm. So can 1t be said of Mobile after the Labor Day celebration of yesterday. Although the day WIS unusually quiet. the records of the Recorders Court fail to bear out the assertion. as there were ffty-fve city cases and four State cases on the docket this morning when Acting Recorder Tharp called court to order Of these. however. the greater majority were eprees. which occurred after the hour of midnight last night. In these cases the fines were merely nominal. though in some cases the violators. who proved to be old of-
 
 corder's session occupied more than three hours.
 This morning in the Recorders Court the case of the city vs. Charles Nelson, charged with assault with pistol upon William H. Hunt was continued, due to failure on the part of the police depart ment to locate and bring Hunt into court. It is conceded that Hunt has left the city and will not appear. realizing that , he is found out in his nefarious charge against the man Nelson. Nelson has figured conspecuously in police court cir cles on many occasions, though, in this While the Nettie Quill was loading freight tonight at the St. Michael Street wharf, a negro struck Frank Campbell. the mate, a terrific blow on the head with a heavy piece of timber, fracturing the skull and rendering him unconscious
 Mr. Campbell was sent to hospital in precarious condition. Detective Griffin and Policeman Rogers arrested Britain Young, who Is thought to be the man who dealt the blow.
 Alfred Ledbetter. a 19-year-old negro, was set upon on the Government Street wharf this morning by two negroes. and so severely cut that 1t became neces- sary for the City Physician to sew him up, after which he was sent to hospi- tai. His assailants are known to the po- lice department, though no arrests have been made as yet.
 Mrs. Harriet c. Coleman, wife of J. c. Coleman of Eutaw, Ala, died this after noon at the residence of D. R. Dunlap on Government Street. The remains were taken to Eutaw tonight for interment.
 Tonight the fire department was called to St. Josephs School. Bayou and St. Anthony, to small blaze in an outhouse. The damage was slight. The origin. 1t is thought, was from a plumbers furnace. Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Ida Metzger daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. s. Metzger to MT. Milton Hanaw. Both are well-known young people of this city
