The DeIineator for June.

The lady of fashion who may turn
to the Delineator in her June leisure for
amusement, as we'll as the busy woman
who may pick it up for relaxation, will
fine good fiction and general articles of
wide interest. 1.-THE Giver of Honour"
is a refreshing little tale by Mrs. Hugh
Fraser, and two college stories are
pleasant reminders of days once dear
to many readers. The concluding chap
ter of THE Evolution of a Club Wom-
an" brings to an end this study of
club life, from one point of view, that
has awakened such widespread inter-
est. The romance and thrill of the
number is supplied by the story of RE
becca Boone. the wife of the pioneer
Daniel Boone" and the beautiful Chi
nese and Indian photographs in the
Around the World series will appeal
to every one who has or has not trav-
eled abroad. June interests at home
are represented by an article on Win
dow Boxes and Window Gardening
by one on the less aesthetic but also
necessary topic of Household Pests"
and the culinary pages. Tommy
Postoffice" still comes on the scene to
delight the children with his esca-
pades, and Mr.. Albert Bigelow Paine
continues his Garden Calendar"
wherein interesting people do such fas
cinating things with seeds and slips.
The toilet and other subjects of inter
est to women also pass in review.

BURGLARS USED GUN
AS A CLUB.
r.. p. Davis Robbed and Then Beaten
with His own Gun.

With His own cum
After being robbed OF s4S and two
pistols by two negroes. r. P. Davis,
who lives near Bacon's mills, was early
yesterday morning struck with the gun
he had attempted to shoot the thieves
with, and the men then made their
escape.
Davis had discovered the burglars in
his room shortly after . o'clock. He
Jumped from his bed and siezed a
shotgun. The burglars jumped on him
and in the scufile both barrels were dis
charged. but so far as is known
neither OF the men was hit One OF
the burglars then seized the gun and
struck viciously at Davis.
He lodged and the blow landed on
hts shoulder The men made their es-
cape as Davis was recovering from the
blow. An investigation of the room
showed that S4S and two pistols had
been stolen. The matter has been re-
ported to the police and an inVestlga-
tton Of the case is being made, but so
far no clue as TO the Identity of the
burglars has been discovered.
The matter was first brought to the
attention OF the desk sergeant al po-
lice headquarters by Patrolman King
81 the Ocean steamship force. Later
Davis called at police headquarters and
told Of the affair himself. Davis said
he was not certain whether he would
be able TO identify the negroes, He
did not think either of them had been
hit when the gun was discharged, as
they both had hold of it then and
were struggling to get it away from
him Detective Nose Davis was as
signed to work on the case,

fractured, and he was unconscious for
two weeks. He claims his earning ca
pacity has been greatly reduced, as he
is now often seized with dizziness OF

FIRST PLEAD GUILTY;
WAS LATER ACQUITTED.
Unusual circumstances of Case in
Superior Court.

Superior COuIA'
In the Superior Court yesterday
morning the case of the state against
Matias Russell, charged with larceny
after trust, was called.
Russell had no attorney, and one was
appointed by the court TO defend him.
After hearing the defendants story,
the attorney advised plea of guilty.
This advice was followed and a sem
tence of twelve months on the chain
gang was imposed by Judge Cam.
A short time afterwards Attorney w.
NJ. Hayward appeared in the court
room and announced that he had been
employed to defend Russell and he
wanted a trial. The court consented,
the negro was arraigned again, and
this time entered plea of not guilty
To the establishment of all in the court
room, the jury returned verdict Of
not guilty, and Russell was forthwith
discharged.
Russell, according to the allegations
of the state, had been entrusted with
twenty baskets of strawberries, the
property of James Washington, col
ored, to sell. Washington took the
stand and swore that Russell had re-
turned with $115 in money, but the
balance due $1.s5, he claimed was ow-
ing him by a woman who had had no
change smaller than a $40 bill.
In company with Russell, Washing
ton stated, he then started in search
of the woman. After walking about
the streets some time, Russell suddenly
turned and ran. Later he was arrest
ed. Washington was the only witness
called by the state and the defendants
statement was the only testimony
brought out by the defense.
The amount involved is believed to
have been responsible for the verdict
of not guilty

FEATHERS THROWN TO WIND.

The baseball fans who returned from
Jacksonville early yesterday morning,
via the Coast Line. were almost buried
in feathers at some point between the
home of the Jays and Savannah.
One of those who had lost his roll.
and was as a result unable to curl
himself on a seat and slumber, treated
his fellow passengers to a shower of
feathers.
He slipped into the Pullman sleeper
and swiped a pillow. This he ripped
open and secured an armful of feathers.
Then the man who couldn't sleep went
to the front door of the coach, opened
il and the breeze did the rest. There
was a hail of feathers that caused
the sleeping ones to rub their eyes
and say things. The identity OF the
culprit was not discovered, or he would
probably be walking yet.

THE TERM "SHANGHAl"
BORROWED FROM CHINA.
Only Origin of Word That Can Be
Found by Mr.. Leaken.


In the course of his Investigations
for the purpose of prosecuting the
shanghai cases, United States At
torney William r. Leaken has looked
up the word Shanghai" According to
the best authority that he could find,
the word is borrowed from the Chi
nese. In speaking of the matter
LAS far as can discover" said Mr..
Leaken in discussing the subject, 1.-The
word comes from China. 1t was the
custom of the Chinese pirates to sail
into certain ports, seize citizens, and
then hold them aboard their vessels,
either for service, or for ransom.
Their principal field of operation was
the port of Shanghai, and, so far as
can learn, the term 'shanghaiing' came
from that port"
The word Shanghai" is not found in
the statutes. The offense for which
Harry Olsen received such a heavy
sentence from Judge Speer is called
Kidnapping in the statutes. The term
Shanghai is commonly used, how
ever. and there are few, If any, who
reside in seaport towns who are not
thoroughly familiar with the word.

SUBWAY PLANS
ARE ALL READY
DELAY WITH COAST LINE.
CITY WANTED MEETING, BUT MIR.
CLAY COULDN'T CONSENT.

New specifications, With Changes
Suggested by Coast Line, Were
Received from Printer Yesterday
Morning-City Wanted to Have
Meeting To-day and Settle Mat
ter, but Mr.. Clay Said He Would
Have to Send Specifications to
Wilmington for Approval.
The last set of specifications for the
Gwinnett street subway was received
from the printer yesterday morning,
but another delay is necessitated be-
cause the specifications had to be sent
on to Wilmington, n. c., the head
quarters of the Atlantic Coast Line.
This should not take more than a
few days, unless some changes are de-
manded in the specifications, as was
the case the last time they We're sub
mitted to the Atlantic Coast Line au-
thoroties in Wilmington.
When it was learned that the new
specifications were ready the director
of public works and Assistant City
Engineer Howard secured a copy and
went to call on Mr.. w. L. Clay, attor-
ney for the Coast Line, who has been
negotiating the matter at this end of
the line.
City officials Stalled.
The specifications are all ready, Mr.
Clay" said the city officers, land we
want to have a meeting tomorrow.
We will get Col. Garrard, the city at
torney, hold the meeting and at last
get through with this matter"
Il will have to submit the specifica-
tons to headquarters at Wilmington
before we can have any meeting" said
Mr.. Clay.
Mr. Gadsden and Mr.. Howard urged
upon Mr.. Clay the necessity for hur-
rying matters up, if it is intended to
build the subway this summer. AS the
| changes that were put into the last
specifications are only minor changes,
and were made at the request of the
Coast Line, the city officials could not
understand why they should have to
| again be submitted to the officers at
| Wilmington.
But Mr.. Clay insisted that he had no
authority to go further into the matter
until they were submitted, so there
was nothing to do but let them go and
await the pleasure of the railroad.
Coast Line Caused Delays.
The Coast Line, the city officials say,
has been the cause of almost all the
| delays that have occurred in the sub
way plans. 1t has been entirely re-
| sponsible for the delays during the last
| few months, it is charged. The city and
the Savannah Electric Company agreed
upon plans some time ago, and have
| since agreed to all changes that the
| Coast Line has suggested. But as
fast as one change is made and it looks
like everything is all right another is
wanted.
Months ago the Coast Line, the cleo
| trio company and the city had a
meeting and agreed upon the subway.
The plans and specifications were or
| dered drawn. When the specifications
were ready the Coast Line, after keep
| ing them for weeks, announced that
| certain minor changes would have to
| be made. The city agreed and the
| changes were made. Now the specif-
cations must again be submitted to
the chief engineer of the road, before
any meeting can be held and the work
arranged for.

CAR ACCIDENT
CAUSED SUIT
A WOMAN WANTS $4,000.
MISS HENRIETTA l.. MATTHEWS
SAYS SKULL WAS FRACTURED.

Was Hurt in the East Broad Street
Trolley Accident when the Troll
ley Wire Broke, About Two
Months Ago-AneGes That Com
ductOr Fled from the Car and Or
dered Passengers to jump.
Charges the Company with Nesli-
ERncs.
A damage suit for 10000 was filed
yesterday morning against the Savan-
nah Electric Company by Henry c.
Edwards, as the next friend OF Miss
Henrietta L. Matthews, the young
lady who was so badly injured in the
East Broad street trolley accident on
March 26, when trolley wire broke
and the passengers fed panic stricken
from the car. 1t is alleged in the suit
that the conductor in charge OF the car
told the passengers TO jump OF.
do you want to stay in there and
burn up? Jump" he is charged with
having called out, when the electric
flashes were seen.
Miss Matthews is l6 years Of
age, and the suit was filed
by her next friend. The suit is of
unusual interest, not only because OF
the large amount of the damages
asked for, but primarily because of the
allegations that have not heretofore
come to light in connection with the
accident.
How Accident Occurred.
The suit recites that the plaintiff
was a passenger upon a car of the de-
PENDANT company, having boarded a
car near the Morehouse Manufacturing
Company, where she was employed.
She was transferred to an E. e w.
belt car, the car which met with the
accident, at Margaret and West Broad
streets. The car was going north on
East Broad and was only a short dis
lance beyond Gordon lane when the
trolley wire broke
IT is charged that the wire was worn.
rorroded and weakened by the actions
of the elements upon 1t. 1t is further
charged that the wire was not of ma
terial reasonably suited to the use for
which il was intended. The condition
of the wire it is alleged was known or
should have been known to the COM
pany
Electric Flames Flashed Forth.
1.-The fallen wire fell. rested upon,
and came in contact with the car
upon which your petitioner was a pas
senger, caused electric flames to flash
forth, burning and kissing through the
car. creating the greatest excitement
and producing apprehension for life
and safety" is is further alleged.
The conductor is charged with hav-
ing fed from the car, and with hav-
ing called to the passengers to jump.
1t is then stated that Miss Matthews
attempted to get off the car, and either
fell or was thrown to the pavement.
She struck her head with such force
that the blood ran from her ears, nose
and mouth, it is averred. Her ankle
was also sprained. The cash in the
back of the head caused conoussion
of the brain and she was unconscious
for about two weeks. il is alleged. She
believes her injuries will be perma-
nent, it is claimed, and for medical att
tention and nursing she has incurred
a debt of $500.
The company is charged with negli-
gence because of the alleged condi-
ton of the wire when it broke.
