board jump Of feet, 6, and the high
jump from the flying rings Of feet, s
inches. A feature was Miss Stark's
modesty in refusing to go after the
women's world high jump record of
feet, 5 inches. She tied at feet,
clearing the bar by inches, but re-
fused to risk the fame attendant on
becoming the world champion, so
would not try with the bar above 4
feet.

Stanberry, Mo-, won the 30-yard dash

The condition of Mr.. w. B. De-
Loach, who was shot by negro at
his turpentine still near Daisy last
Monday, and who was brought to Sa-

medical attention, continues to i'm
prove. He was removed yesterday aft

Mr.. DeLoach's wound is a painful
one, but since he was shot he has re-
ceived the best of attention. Drs.
Miller and Ellerbee of Daisy first at

care of the hospital physicians. The
improvement in his condition has been
very rapid, and it is expected that he

men has not been removed and If the
patient continues to improve no oper-
alton will be performed on him.

Just after the roll of the grand jury
in the United States court
had been called yesterday in the
United States court, Judge speer
asked those who wanted to swear to
excuses to be relieved Of duty to stand
up. Among the two or three who got
up, was Mr.. c. C. Buchanan, rosy of
cheek and stalwart of frame.
What is your excuse. Mr.. Buchan-
an? queried the Judge.
Age" laconically replied Mr.. Blu
chanan.
How old do you think you are, Mr..
Buchanan" queried the judge with a
twinkle in his eye.
II do not think, your honor: I know
that am 60 years of age" replied the
juror.
with nothing but appearances, it
would be hard work for you to con-
vince one that you are as old as you
are" gracefully effused the judge.
Il thank you, Judge, but appearances
cannot change dates" was the answer
1t is one of Judge Speers favorite
ways of showing unusual Difference to
age to question a jurors calcula-
tions when he asks to be excused from
jury duty on account of advanced
years.

I electric pump. although this has not
been positively and finally determined.
Want Special Rnils.
1t was simply agreed to go ahead
with the work as soon as Engineer
Tutwiler's plans are approved by the
street railway and the city, and minor
details were not considered. There are
some things that effect only the street
railway, and these will be disposed of
by President Baldwin alone.
The city will, however, probably in
sist that the street railway place a
certain sort of rail in the tunnel for
the reason that vehicles will have to
use the roadway upon which the double
tracks viii be laid. If the rail that Is
put down in other parts OF
the city should be laid there would
be danger of vehicles losing their
{ ed by the use of specially constructed
rail, the sort used in New York
May Change Its Line.
1t may be that after the construction
of the tunnel the Savannah Electric
Company will not turn into OFT street,
and then into Bolton in order to run its
cars to Thunderbolt. At these points
the company has single tracks, and mas
never been able to make satisfactory
arrangements for the securing Of the
right Of way for additional tracks.
1t may determine to continue the
Thunderbolt line out Gwinnett street
and cut into Bolton street at point
where there are now double tracks.
In the event that the Baseball Park
remains on Bolton street, but this does
not appear at all likely, the company
will probably run a spur track from
Gwinnett street through Atlantic ave
nue. to the park. Atlantic avenue is a
nfty-foot street just east of the rail-
road tracks.

by Deputy Sheriff Jones, of Black
shear, who had a bench warrant for
Virgins arrest, charging him with
using obscene language in the presence
of ladies before he came to Savan-

Virgins, who was handcuffed after
his arrest, was taken in charge by the
deputy from Blackshear last night APP

handouts on his wrists and told the
sergeant on duty that he desired to
be locked up. He stated that he had

Deputy Sheriff Jones, but that the
deputy had carried him around the city
from place to place, visiting several
saloons, where the law officer would
imbibe freely. The two, accord

went to the depot to board the train
for Blackshear, but upon arrival there
Virgins left the deputy and went to

TILLMAN'S FAVORITE THEME
is THE RACE QUESTION
south Carolina Firebrand VIII De-
liver Brilliant Lecture Tonight.


liver Brilliant Lecture Tonight.
What promises to be the most in
teresting lecture of the season Will be
heard at the Savannah Theater to-
night when Senator Ben Tillman will
make his appearance before a large
audience.
Nothing has been left undone to
make the appearance of the South
Carolina firebrand a complete success
and those who hear him discuss the
race question are assured a treat Sen
ator TilIman is a brilliant speaker
and there is not a dull line in the lee
ture that Savannahians will hear.
In all parts of the United States he
has delivered it to audiences that were
antagonistic at the start, but that were
forced to hear him through because
of his brilliancy. There are things
that Senator Tillman says that do not
please all who hear him, but because
he has the courage of his convictions
he is a man who is admired by even
those who are opposed to him and to
his utterances.
Every man has his pet theme, and
Senator Tillman delights in discussing
the race problem. He is at his best
when talking about the negro, and
no man has been more widely quoted
on this subject. While his opinions
in many cases are violent and his re-
marks caustic in the extreme, Senator
Tillman is to-day one of the most in
tensely interesting orators on the pub
lie platform. A great many ladies will
hear him tonight, and the simple an
nouncement that he will speak on the
race question should be sufficient to
crowd the theater to the doors.

JUDGE SPEER RODE
ON FAST SPECIAL.
Owing to Confusion in Time Missed
Regular Train from Augusta.

Owing to Confusion in Time Missed
Regular Train from Augusta.
Judge Emory Speer arrived in Sa-
vannah yesterday morning to open the
United States Circuit Court for the
November term, after an exciting ex-
perience of travelling from Augusta to
Millen in a fast flying special train
to catch the regular Central passenger
from Macon, which is due to arrive in
Savannah at O'Clock.
1t was not the eminent jurist's orig
inal intention to charter a special train
to carry him from Augusta to Miller,
but he was the victim of the confus-
ing differences in time that is so Of
ten the cause of annoying delays &C.
casioned by missing trains in this sec
ton of the country, where two dis
tinct times are computed.
Judge Speer carries his watch set
according to Goth meridian time, bet
ter known here as railroad time. "
Augusta, like Savannah has a city
time" and railroad time" and to
these confusing differences was due
the necessity for engaging a special
train. Judge Speer went out to tea
with Hon. Charles P. Presley night
before last, and was told that he had
plenty of time to catch the train for
Savannah, which left Augusta at
$40.
Thinking that those who told him
the train left at $40 meant railroad
time, the judge stayed until 9:15 rail-
road time, which put him at the depot
at about 1890 city time, which was
nearly an hour after the train for Sa-
vannah had departed. An engine and
| coach was hastily coupled up, and
shortly before midnight the start for
Millen to catch the train from Macon
to Savannah was commenced A rap
i'd run was made, and the special reach
Millen just in time to transfer the
Judge to the regular train.

WALDBURG AND HENRY
MAY BE TUNNELED.
President Erwin Put the Matter Up
to the City.

President Erwin Put the Matter Up
to the City.
At the suggestion of President r. G..
Erwin of the Atlantic Coast Line. the
city win consider the tunneling of
Waldburg and Henry streets under the
tracks of the railroad company.
The suggestion came during the
grade crossing conference at the city
Exchange yesterday. and will be taken
up at once by the city. Mayor Myers
and the Grade Crossing Committee of
City Council will visit the crossings
this afternoon and consider the advisa-
bility of taking up Mr.. Erwin's offer.
For more than a year efforts have
been made to have Waldburg street
opened into Collinsville. This has been
made impossible by reason of the fact
that the coal chute of the railroad COM
pany closes the street. Mr. Erwin
stated that he will move the chute If
the city will agree to tunnel the street,
and the matter is now UP to Council.
There is at present crossing at
Henry street. and If this street is tun-
need Waldburg is certain to be. Mr..
Erwin's suggestion came in the nature
of surprise, although efforts had been
made to have him agree to remove the
coal chute SO that Waldburg street
could be opened by the city. His offer
has simplified matters now. and those
in Collinsville and in the South Side,
who are agitating the subject, believe
that the street will be opened into Col
linsville next year.
The opening of Habersham, Thirty
seventh and Thirty-ninth streets means
a great deal for the South Side, and
with the tunneling of Wa1dburg and
Henry practically all that it has asked
for would be granted.
