DANGER OF MATCH POISON.

From the New York Sun.
"The distressing case of the man
who lost an eye from handling
greenbacks on which were poison
Gus microbes and then rubbing the
eye" said an old timer at the Hoff-
man house yesterday, recalls
sad incident which came within my
personal knowledge. An old friend
had habit of handling the matches
in the China match boxes on cafe
tables. While talking and slipping
his drink or smoking he would in
an incidental way fondle the match
es. A slight scratch just beneath
the right eye irritated him one day
and he rubbed it with the hand
which had caressed the matches.
Mind you, he didn't handle the
sulphurpous ends of the matches,
only what he considered the harm
less ends. Yet that man lost iseye
and came within an ace of dying
from blood poisoning. 1t was due
to the rank poison on what was
considered the plain or harmless
part of the matches. My constant
injunction ever since to all my
friends who seem to have this habit
in cafes is: Don't touch the match
es unless you are absolutely COM
PEELED to use one, and even then be
careful

CABBAGE KRAUT.
Rockport Enterprise.

Rockport Enterprise.
Mr.. T. H. Trippe of Waelder, who
is we'll known in Port Lavaca, has
keen eye for business. He has
been advertising cabbage for sale
during the past few months, and has
now struck an idea for closing out
the remnant stock. In the Waelder
News he publishes the following re-
cipe for making kraut, with kindly
injunction that every family should
put up a keg of the wholesome diet.
Some cabbage growers in Calhoun
county may find sale for cabbage on
the strength of Mr.. Trippe's recipe
(not copyrighted), which reads as
follows.
To make kraut is Just about as
easy as to fall off a log. Cut your
cabbage fine and put layer about
three inches deep in your keg or jar
and sprinkle good with salt. Then
another layer of cabbage and salt
and pound it down with pestle or a
block of wood so it will lie very
close. Continue this process until
keg or jar is nearly full, when you
cover with a cloth and fit in an in
side cover of boards or planks that
will go inside key or jar and weight
1t down with heavy rock or any
KIND OF weight so it will hold kraut
under brine, The salt and juice will
form a brine and the only attention
necessary is occasionally skim off
the scum. A cup of sugar to each
nVe gallons will make Ms sour
quicker.

SUMMER AT THE CASINO.
Savannah Electric Company Is
Building a Band Stand

In anticipation of "the good old sum-
mer time the Savannah Electric
Company has begun the erection of a
band stand on the Casino grounds at
Thunderbolt Manager Kidder expects
to have the stand ready for use next
Sunday, when the usual weekly con-
cert will be given.
Now that the weather is getting
more sultry it is uncomfortable. for the
members of the band to be housed in
the Casino during the afternoon hours.
1t is more enjoyable, too, for the pa
irons to gather on the grounds and
listen to the music of the band" ION
a Sunday afternoon" The band stand
is being put up between the Casino
and the river, in close proximity to the
board walk.
Manager Kidder has not yet deter
mined upon the summer programme
for the Casino, but will do so very
shortly. There will be vaudeville, of
couse, and the street railway manager
intends Offering the best talent that he
can secure. 1t is his intention to have
presented only high-class vaudeville
and make the resort as attractive as is
possible. Details will be arranged
later, out Mr.. Kidder expects to open
the vaudeville season the first week
in May. No contracts have yet been
made and the street railway manager
is moving cautiously.

Was the Sentence Imposed Oh Negro
Who Tried to XIII Policeman.
The heavy hand of the law fell upon
Frank Sessions on his trial in the SUI
perior Court yesterday for attempting
the life of Patrolman d. P. Walker at
the Union Depot on Jan. 5, last. Ses-
sions pleaded guilty of the attempt to
murder the officer, whereupon Judge
Barrow Immediately imposed a SEN
tence of five years in the penitentiary.
The crime for which Sessions was
convicted is familiar to readers of the
Morning News. While in the dis
charge of his duty as an arresting Of
acer, Walkers life was attempted by
the negro. Fortunately the pistol
failed to fire. The negro was stand
ing close 10 Walker at the time, and
the pistol was held close to his face.
so that had 1t fired. almost certain
death would have followed.
The crime Judge Barrow said he
considered a peculiarly despicable one.
1t was one, too. which he said threat
ened the peace of the community. He
therefore imposed a sentence which
would serve to prevent a repetition of
the offense, Counsel for Sessions has
made application for modification of
the sentence, but there is little like
lihood that it will be granted.

form. He also visited the East Broad
Street Colored School. Col Mercer

lived in several of them, but in none
had he seed the colored people treated

ual, doing well.
Mr.. Myers of the Committee on
Schools reported that he had visited
Henry Street School on the coolest

Within the next month there will be
quite a change in the operating of the
Abercorn and Barnard belt, and the
Whitaker street lines of the Savannah
Electric Company, from Broughton
street north to Bay street.
Manager Kidder is now working out
a schedule that will be in operation,
and curves will be put in by the COM
pany at Broughton and Barnard
streets and at Whitaker and Brough-
ton streets. The curve that will be put
in at Barnard street has already ar
rived and the others will be shipped
from the factory in two weeks.
Under the new system cars on Barn
ard street, from Broughton street to
Bay street, will only run north, and on
Whitaker street, between the same
points, will only run south. On
Broughton streets all cars will run
west, as is now the case. The idea
of Manager Kidder is to do away with
cars running around the City Market
both north and south. The present
system makes collisions more liable
and frequently causes breaks in the
schedules of not only the A. and b.
line, but the Thunderbolt and Haber-
sham lines as well.
Cars going north on Barnard street
will, under the new system, move
around the City Market, into Bay
street, and then east to Abercorn
street, as Is the case at present. The
A. and b. cars going west on Bay
street will not go to Barnard street, as
they do now, however. Instead they
will turn south at Whitaker street.
At Broughton street they will go west
to Barnard street, and then move south
as at present The Whitaker street
cars will turn west at, Broughton
street, move into Barnard street,
around the City Market to Bay street,
east to Whitaker street, over the A
and B. tracks, and then south on their
own tracks. The change is in the line
of improvement.

HELD AS HORSE THIEF;
RELEASED WITHOUT TRIAL.
state Failed to Try william Brown
at Proper Term of Court.

Charged with the theft of a horse,
wagon and harness, and held under an
indictment returned at the March term
of court, William Brown was dis
charged in the Superior Court yester-
day because the state had failed to give
the defendant the trial demanded by
him. An acquittal was entered by the
court, and whether or not the defendant
is guilty of the crime for which he was
indicted, he will never be tried for it.
By special permission of the court a
trial was demanded at the last June
term, which demand was duly placed
upon the minutes of the court, and ex-
hibited to Judge Barrow yesterday. 1t
further appeared from the evidence
that he was not tried at that, or the
succeeding term, and the order of re-
lease was forthwith granted.
Brown was indicted just year ago.
The prosecuting witnesses, and the per-
sons from whom it was alleged he stole
the property were Younglove and Sip
pie. The defendant was represented by
j. NJ. Dreyer.

LEAP FOR LIFE DESCRIBED
BY YOUTHFUL FIREMAN
In $4,000 Damage Suit Instituted
Against SeabOnrd Air Line.

In S1O,OOO Damage Suit Instituted
Against SeabOnrd Air Line.
A suit for the recovery of $4,000
damages, in which a graphic descrip-
ton of a head end collision on the
Seaboard Air Line Railway is given,
was instituted yesterday by G. H.
Lightburn, who, in his leap for life,
sustained injuries which he alleges will
incapacitate him for life, permanently
impairing his earning capacity and his
health. The mother of the complainant,
who is a mere lad, represents her son
in the suit, which was filed yesterday
morning in the City Court by Travis
& Edwards.
The collision occurred on Sept. 81,
last. At that time the complainant
was employed by the defendant COM
pany as fireman on pushing engine
No. 1874. The crew was ordered to pro-
coed from the shops of the company
to the Union Station. In the due per-
Torrance of his duties, he alleges, they
proceeded at the rate of about ten
miles an hour to the station. AS the
pushing engine rounded curve near
the city, engine No. GIG doomed up be
fore it. The engine, which was draw
ing the Columbia train, was, the pc
tition says, running at a high rate of
speed.
A head end collision was inevitable
the two engines being in close proXi-
nifty when they hove in sight of each
other the sharpness of the curve and
the intervening bushes and trees rem
dering the approaching engine invisi-
able. Though every effort was made to
avoid the collision, the petitioner
states, they were of no avail. and as
the engines crashed together, he leap
ed for his life. He was thrown through
the air, landing on his back, and sus-
tanned numerous wrenches, strains,
bruises and cuts on his body, which
injured his back so severely as to pro-
duce traumatic Inflammation of the
kidneys and other injuries which In
capacitate him for all but the slightest
labor.
The mother submits that her son was
but eighteen years of age, and was
hearty and strong. The injury, she
says, has made him an invalid. and
lessened his earning capacity half. He
had, she says, a reasonable expectancy
of 80 years, and was earning $50 a
month, with the prospect of increa sed
wages. He was confined to his bed for
two months, during which time a large
doctors bill was incurred.
The accident, according to the petit
ton, resulted directly from the gross
negligence of the railroad company in
despatching two trains, running in OPP
poslte directions. at the same time. In
addition to the resultant damage, she,
therefore asks for punitive damages al
lowed by law in cases of gross negli-
gence. Ten thousand dollars, she says.
would be reasonable compensation for
the damage and injury sustained.

ROYAL MUSIC HALL CLOSED.
Jas. IT. Bennett Forced to suspend
Business by Indebtedness.

James T. Bennett, proprietor of the
Royal Music Hall on Broughton street,
west, closed the place to the public
yesterday and will at once sell out
the effects and stage fittings for the
benefit of his creditors.
The closing of the music hall was
caused by an attachment for rent In
the sum of $40 sued out yesterday
morning in Justice Naughtins court by
d. j. Morrison. Bennett had no way
of meeting the amount of the attach
ment and after a consultation with
friends decided it useless to attempt
to run the place further.
A number of articles such as chairs
and other fittings were disposed of
during the day, the receipts going to-
wards paying off the performers and
other help of the place, who have a
first claim under the labor lien act.
The creditors will have to take what
ever amount they can get, which will
probably be a very small percentage
of the amount of Benefits indebted
ness to them.
Bennett has been in charge of the
Royal Music Hall about two months.
He started out with a good business
but his success was temporarily and
during the past few weeks the busi-
ness has not been paying He went
in debt heavily in equipping the place,
and it is on account of this indebted
ness that he was forced to shut up
shop Bennett regrets the failure very
much and says that he will do the best
he can towards settling up what he
owes.
