OVERCOME BY GAS
IN A DITCH.
John PhiIpOt and Two Laborers
Overcome, But Were Resuscitated.

John PhiIpOt and Two Laborers
Overcome, But Were Resuscitated.
Overcome by gas, John Philpot, the
foreman of the street gang of the Sa-
Vannah Gas Company, fell into a hole
in which he was working at Thirty
third and Abercorn streets yesterday
ard was rescued by the laborers, who
were assisting him in the work. Two
of the negro laborers were partially
overcome by the gas also, but they
did not fall.
When taken from the hole Mr.. Phil
pot was unconscious and in "a very
serious condition. DR.. A. A. Morrison
was hurriedly called and heart and
respiration stimulants were applied.
After being worked on for some time,
Mr.. Philpot regained consciousness.
The police ambulance was summoned,
but he requested to be carried home in
a cab, fearing the appearance of the
ambulance would brighten his family.
A cab was secured and he was carried
to his home, No. 626 Broughton street,
east.
Mr. Philpot and the men were work.
ing in a ditch about four or five feet
deep. making a connection for a house
with the A-lnch gas main. A rubber
bag blown up inside the pipe to stop
the flow of gas exploded, pouring from
the big main filled the hole in which
the men were at work. The negroes
though partially overcome by the gas,
managed to get out of the ditch, but
Mr.. Philpot, who attempted to stop the
leak, was completely overcome and fell
10 the bottom of the ditch.
Fortunately the ditch was not very
deep and the workmen managed to
drag Mr.. Philpot from his perilous po-
sition. DR.. Morrison stated he thought
Mr.. Philpot entirely out of danger,
though he may be confined to his home
for several days.
The two negroes completely recover
ed from the gas.

BIG CELEBRATION
FOR DISCOVERY DAY.
knights of Columbus Preparing for
Elaborate Observance.

Elaborate Observance.
Discovery Day, which falls on Oct.
II, will be deliberately observed in Sa-
vannah by the local council of the
Knights of Columbus.
This course was determined upon at
meeting of the council, No. 631, last
night. In anticipation of the begin
ming of preparations for the observing
of the day the meeting was we'll at
tended and when the presiding officer,
P. J. O'Connor. Esq, called the as
sembly to order there were 120
Knights present.
After the regular routine business
had been disposed of the subject of the
observance of the day was taken up.
AS the anniversary of the discovery of
America by the great navigator after
entered enthusiastically into the plans
for making the day one that will be
Ions remembered.
After several addresses on the subject
had been made by prominent members
of the Council, a motion was made that
the council begin at once preparing for
an entertainment on that day. The
exact nature OF LQ6 entertainment was
not decided upon. though it was voted
to make it elaborate. and of such a
character as would be appropriate TO
the occasion which it was designed to
commemorate.
The lecturer of the council. Mr.. l..
T. Doyle, was named as chairman of
the committee which will make all ar
rangements and prepare the pro-
gramme. He will select nine assistants,
who will be named within the next few
days. AS soon as the committee is
formed work will be in preparation for
the day, and as soon as arrangements
have been completed, a special meet
ing of the Council will probably be
called and work will then go en- in
earnest.
The observance of Discovery Day Will
not be confined to the Savannah Coun-
Gil, but will be observed more or less
deliberately by every Council in the
country. 1t is practically the national
holiday of the order, and as such great
significance is attached to. The en-
thusiasm with which the preliminary
work was started insures that the Sa-
vannah celebration will be an excellent
one.

THE PRICE OF BREAD
HAS NOT INCREASED
Though There Has Been n Jump
in Prices of Wheat and Flour.

IN Prices OF Wheat ana FtOurs
Despite the fact that there has been
a decided increase in the price of
wheat and flour, with one exception
the price of bread remains the same
as it was before the rise.
Several bakers who were asked about
the matter yesterday stated that they
did not expect there would be any in
crease, unless wheat should continue
to go up. Then in self protection the
price of the staff of life would have to
be raised.
THE prices on our bread are just
the same as they were before wheat
and flour started upward" was the
response to the query at A. Kessel's
bakery. Neither have we made any
reduction in the size of the loaves. We
find that despite the fact that wheat
had jumped up considerably in price
that we can still secure the -four to
make out bread at such price as to
enable us to settle our loaves just as
we did heretofore. At present we do
not expect to have to make any in
crease"
When inquiry was made at Nugent's
bakery regarding prices, the answer
was: mo increase yet and have
uedTu OIL no contemplated general IN
crease by the city bakers. 1t may be
that some of the bakers have found it
necessary to either increase the price
of loaf or to reduce the size of the
loaves, but thus far we have made no
change. I do not expect that it will
be necessary to increase prices, espe-
cially if wheat does not continue up
ward If it should keep on climbing,
however, in self protection we will
have to either increase prices, or
lessen the size of the loaves."
One of the bakeries reported that it
had reduced the weight of a loaf of
bread by one ounce. In speaking of the
matter the baker in charge said: 1.-The
price of wheat, and consequently
flour, went up so steadily that we
found we were losing money by SELL
ing the loaves of bread at the old
price. Therefore we saw that 1t would
be necessary to increase the price or
decrease the size of each loaf.
by close figuring we found that IL
we decreased the size of each loaf by
one ounce we could still make a rea-
sonable profit at the old price. This
reduction in size is so small as to be
scarcely noticeable to the individual
customer, yet in the aggregate it means
much to us. We expect no further
changes"

A BRIEF SESSION.
Several Matters Were Deferred be-
cause Members Were Absent.

cause Members Were Absent.
The first of the night sessions of

sence of several of the aldermen.
Mayor Myers and Aldermen oliver,
Glatigny and Schroeder were all absent.
The proposed Strengthening of Thirty
fifth street, between Bull and Barnard,
and the opening af Thirty-seventh to

cause of the absence of these members
of Council.
Bills amounting to sS4.S4S51 were ap-
proved and ordered paid The asses
sement roll for the paving of Thirty
first street between Lincoln and Haber-
sham was passed, the ordinance being
read twice by unanimous consent. This
one block on Thirty-first street was
not paved at the same time that
the rest of the work on the street was
DONE as the city had to purchase a
small strip of land to ren-NSe an OBJ
struction.
The Committee of the Whole reported
adversely upon the petition OF Judge T.

NO DANGER OF STORM
REACHING SAVANNAH
Struck Inland North of Charleston
and Moving Northward.


All danger of the storm which was
feared would strike Savannah on
Tuesday night or Wednesday morning
has passed and at the expiration of the
usual twenty-four hours the storm sig
nails were taken down. The storm, as
predicted, reached the land during the
night, but at a point far north of Sa-
Vannah.
Charleston felt part of the storm,
though it was not exactly in the storm
center. The storm struck inland be-
tween Charleston and Wilmington and
was marked by exceptionally high
northeast winds. During the night the
instruments at Charleston recorded a
gale of 50 miles an hour, though at s
o'clock yesterday morning this had
died, down to nearly normal
During the time that the morning
reports were being filed to the wealth
err bureau the storm center was ap-
parently at Wilmington. Wires were
down and no reports from the North
Carolina city could be obtained. The
night reports showed that the storm
was continuing northward, though los
ing some of its force.
Lower temperatures are preceding
the storm, and the northwest report
ed freezing temperatures and high
winds. The only exception was the
lake region, and here there was ten
dency toward higher temperatures.
This is believed to be the result of
purely local conditions.
At 10 o'clock last night a telegram
signed Frankenfield of the central
Weather Bureau Office at Washington,
stated that the northwest storm sig
nails had been ordered up from Nor
folk to Fort Monroe. The storm was
then just entering Virginia, the winds
continuing high. A high pressure
area lying over the northeastern part
of the country will have tendency to
force the storm due north, and it will
probably play itself out in the East
ern Lake Regions.

ICEBREAKER FOR THE ST. LAWRENCE.
Hopes of Gaining Month in Navigation for
Montreal.

Montreal. May 15.-Captain Spain and Lieutenant
Colonel Anderson. OF the Department of Marine
and Fisheries Ottawa. appeared before the Harbor
Commissioners to-day and stated that the govern
mert intended having icebreaker built in Eng
land in the coming summer. with which 1t
intended TO make the experiment of keeping the
st. Lawrence open later in the fall and also TO
break up the ice earlier in the spring. 1t
calculated that the shipping season at Montreal
could be heightened by at least fortnight In the
fall. and that about the Same space of time could
be gained by breaking up the ice formation at Cape
Rouge in the spring. Tho cost of the vessel will
be about $500 000. and if the experiment proves
cessful, another and larger boat would be built
ard stationed At Quebec in order TO make the
service even more efiiCaCious.
