The postponed quarterly meeting of

directors of the Ocean Steamship Com

Mr.. w. H. Peasants, vice president
and general manager of the steamship
company, is also here. The other out

attend the meetings will probably ar

selection of a name for the new Ship
that is now building in the yards of
the Delaware Shipbuilding Company
and which will be launched sometime
next month.
Following the custom of the company
in naming its ships in honor of the
large cities reached by the Central of
Georgia, it is likely that the name Sc
lected will be from among those of
Montgomery, Chattanooga, Atlanta and
Nashville. Another matter in this con-
nection that may come up is arranging
for. the ceremonies connected with the
launching.
The new ship, as has been before an

pretty nearly duplicate of the City of

IS now thought she will be delivered
about Aug. 1.
Vice President Peasants has official
ly quashed the rumor that the com
pany contemplated selling the City of

selling the ship. would be only too
glad if it had about two more like her.
He is also authority for the state

The election of the new officers took

made vacant: Captain, Walter Blum;
first lieutenant, L. M. Rossignol; sec

company could not have selected a
more popular set of officers, and ii may
be said that the cadets will soon build
up large membership.
The Lawton Cadets were organized
on May II, 1896, and they bear the
name of the late Gen. Alexander R.

THROWN FROM A MULE.
Julian Kieffer's Bravery After
Breaking His Leg.


Julian B. Kieffer, 13-years of
age, the son of DIR. and Mrs. E. ].
Kieffer met with serious accident
yesterday afternoon, and, after it,
displayed presence of mind and nerve
seldom found in boy Of his age. He
had gone In the morning with his
younger brother and another COM
panion to the Gorrie Ice Company
farm, four miles on the White Bluff
road to spend the day. To have some
sport, as they had frequently done
before. they caught three mules, bridled
them, and started for a ''muleback
ride on the road.
When about a mile from the farm
the folded blanket which Julian had
put upon the mule in lieu of a saddle,
slipped, and while the boy was at
tempting to straighten ii the mule
SHE'D and threw him on the hard road.
The fall broke his right leg, making
compound fracture, the bone protrud-
ing on either side through the flesh.
The lad did not faint nor lose his
presence of mind but realizing that
his limb had been fractured. told his
companions to hurry back to the house,
have a mule hitched to the wagon, tell
the old colored woman to put some
pine straw, blankets and a pillow into
it, and drive to him as quick as pos
sble This his companions did. and
the keeper Of the farm hitched up and
reaching HIM as soon as possible, the
boy in the mean time lying by the side
of the road upon the leaves and pine
straw.
When the wagon reached him he was
put into it. made as comfortable as
possible and driven to the farm house.
There the old woman bathed his face
and hands, gave him drinks and re-
lieved his suffering as old "mom-
mers" we'll know how to do. The
boy said afterwards that he beiev-
ed he would have died had the old
woman not looked after him. The long
drive to the city was then made as
quickly as practicable, in view of the
fact that the wagon was not on springs
and the Earring anything but pleas
ant. Not once did he vince however,
and not a tear did he she'd standing
the pain with stOical Indifference. Up
on reaching the city he asked to
be taken to DR.. G. L. Harmon's office.
that the fracture might be set and the
damage repaired before he was taken
home. that his mother might be spared
as much anxiety as possible.
The fracture was set by DR. Harmon
and the young man was taken to his
home. DR.. Harmon could not say aft
er the operation whether the bones
would knit properly of whether any
serious consequences would ensue. He
was not even able to give assurances
that amputation would not be neces-
sary.
Those who saw the fortitude with
which the young man bore his suffering
were surprised.

YACHT CLUB DUES PUT UP.
Increased From SO to s15 a Year.

Increased From $40 10 SIS a Year.
At meeting of the Savannah Yacht
Club yesterday afternoon, at which 103
members were present, the amendment
to the bylaws increasing annual dues
from so to S15. which was voted upon
during a meeting held previously dur
ing the week and defeated, was again
put before the club and carried. The
vote stood 70 for to 81 against. An
other meeting will be called within ten
days that the action of yesterdays
meeting may be ratified. that being
necessary according to the bylaws.
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion among the club members over
the proposed increase in the dues for
some time and before the vote was put
yesterday considerable time was taken
up in debating the merits and demer-
its of the amendment. The majority
voters claim the vote is decisive
enough to allay any further discus
sion, however. and they think there
will be no delay in the ratification. 1t
IS their claim that the privileges ex-
tended by the Yacht Club are greater
than those of any other social organ
ization in Savannah and the dues are
considerable less. They point out
that the wives and children of the
members have all the privileges of the
club house, grounds and its many
means of pleasure; that considera BILE
improvements have been made for
their especial benefit and that the
dues as increased are little enough in
return for what they bring.

Suppose the reaper Death should

think it good judgment to carry life

and your family better provided for.
Under most of our policies you do not
have to die to win, but as you must
die, why not win? Policies now issued
by the Massachusetts Mutual provide
for paid-up participating insurance,

policyholders in cash or extra paid

EASILY ANSWERED.
No Prize offered For the Solution of
This Riddle

Why IS 1t necessary for a butcher to
serve his customers honestly? In the
first place. a caterer cannot hold trade
by palming off tough stuff on them, for
they spend their money with another,
who will give them fair play. And as
no butcher who values his trade wants
to lose it, he should treat customers
fairly. Take Logan, in the city mar
ket. He has been treating his people
right for twenty-five years, and can
now point to people who have been
patronizing him for many years. That
means they are satisfied. Give him a
chance to serve you.
Mr.. Logan reminds his patrons that
they can get ground bone for chicken
feed at his stalls on Mondays and Fri
days. If you have a poultry yard sup
ply yourself with this necessary food
for fowls.-ad.

NARROWLY ESCAPED
BEING RUN OVER
A Cool Head and Strong Arms Saved
Child From Injury.

By quick conception and strong
arms a serious accident was narrowly
averted yesterday afternoon at
Broughton and Drayton streets, in
which a little 5-year-old child came
near being run over and trampled I'M
der the feet of a horse.
A gentleman was driving north on
Drayton street, his horse trotting
slowly. Just as he was about to cross
Broughton street the child, who was
accompanied by its father, ran out in
the street from the sidewalk and di-
rectly before the horse. But a few
feet separated the animal and the
child, but the driver was able to stop
him when but a step or two more
would have put him upon the little
one.
A number of people witnessed the
close call, but so quick did the child
run out III the street that nothing ex-
cept the cool head of the driver and
his ability to control the animal, could
have saved it from being trampled to
death, as no one was close enough to
render assistance.
