In st. Catharines, the Garden City
of Canada, eleven miles from Niagara
Falls, on the main line of the Grand
Trunk Railway, is situated the his
torbc st. Catharines Well, about which
is woven many a romantic Indian le-
gend, and whose curative properties
are known far and wide throughout
North America. The water of this
famous Saline Well is considerably
denser than sea water, but clear,
sparkling and odorless, and is remark
able for its penetrative qualities.
These waters are a great specific for
such diseases as rheumatism. govt,
scrofula, neuralgia, liver troubles skin
diseases and cases of nervous prostra-
ton, or as tonic pure and simple.
The treatment is conducted on the
broadest possible lines, the idea be-
ing to assist nature as much as pos
sible. The use of these waters Is the
chief remedial agent, accompanied by

SHOT THROUGH HEAD;
NOT SERIOUSLY HURT.

Man who Did Shooting Says He
Didn't Know Pistol Was Loaded.
With pistol that he says he didn't
think was loaded, Henry Perry, a ne
gro, shot Scipio Green, another negro,
through the back of the head early
last night. The shooting occurred in
the basement of the Germania Bank
building and created a great deal of
excitement.
Though the bullet passed through
his head, Green does not appear to be
very seriously hurt. After having his
wound dressed by Or. Walter Norton
he went to his home in Dittermers-
vile and seemd to be getting on all
right. The pistol with which he was
shot was of 80 caliber.
Perry, who did the shooting, and
Enock Thomas, who furnished the
weapon, were both arrested by Detec-
tive Murphy, who made an investiga-
ton of the case. The former is
charged with shooting at another not
in his own defense and the latter, with
carrying concealed weapons.
Green and Perry were in the base
ment together, when Thomas came in.
He pulled a pistol out of his pocket
to show to them and Perry imme-
diately grabbed it. Look out, 1 am
going to shoot he called, and aimed
at Green. Green ducked his head, but
was not quick enough. Such is the
version of the man who was shot.
Perry says he and Thomas both had
hold of the pistol when it went off and
that he didn't think it was loaded,
anyway. Thomas says he had al
ready handed Perry the gun when the
shooting occurred.

Only Evidence of 1T Appeared I'm
Light Rain at Jacksonville.
The disturbance along the East Gulf
states, which was expected to produce
high winds along the Middle and South
Atlantic coasts yesterday, failed to de-
velope to any extent.
The only evidence of it which appear
ed in the reports sent in to the Wealth
err Bureau last night was a slight rain
at Jacksonville. amounting to only a
little over an inch. No high winds
were reported and the disturbance eth
er failed to develope to the expected
strength. or else early played itself
out.
In Savannah there were no indica-
lions of any storm last night. The
barometer was rising steadily and the
light wind. which was blowing from
the northeast. recorded a velocity of
only about six to eight miles an hour.
On Sunday night a light shower
passed over the city accompanied by a
high wind, though it lasted for only a
few minutes.

JEFFERSON STREET OWNERS
WILL MEET AGAIN TO-DAY.
One Property Owner Has Had Money
for Five Years to Pay Bill.

for Five Years to Pay Bill.
There will be another meeting of
the jefferson street property owners
this afternoon at O'Clock to again
consider the offer of the city to set
tie the paving cases that have so long
been in the courts.
The city, as was announced in the
Morning News, has decided to make no
more concessions to the owners. Though
the court awarded the city the full
amount of the bills, and interest at
the legal rate, Council has agreed to
settle the cases for the principal only
if payment is made by Oct. 10.
If the owners do not care to accept
this proposition, then the city will
fight the case out in the Supreme
Court. 1t is set for a hearing this
month. If the city wins before that
court, in case the owners decide not
to settle, Mayor Myers says both the
principal and the interest will be COL
lected.
1t is probable, however, that the
owners will decide to accept the city's
proposition. In the event any owner
is unable to pay. the whole amount of
his bill at once, he will be allowed to
pay in monthly ainstallments, with s
per cent, beginning Oct. 10, the
date set for the settlement.
At least one of the cases, however,
will be settled. One of the property
owners, Mrs. Wilkinson, called at the
| Mayors Office yesterday and asked to
| be allowed to settle her bill She said
she had had the money in the bank
for five years to pay the bill with,
and that she had not been allowed
to do so, because of the case in court.
She stated to the Mayor that she had
never been party to the case against
the city. Mayor Myers asked her to
write him a letter to that effect and
said he would refer it to the city at
| torney. She will, of course, be allow
ed to settle the bill, as she is not a
| party to the case.

Said He Had Forgotten to Ask -
BE Excused.
Judge Cam yesterday morning I'm
ed a prominent Savannah physician $40
for contempt of court.
The physician had been subpoenaed
as an expert witness in a case that
had been set for the last day of the
June term. The jurors appeared and
many of the other witnesses, but the
physician, whose testimony was most
needed, failed to show up. The case
then went over until the October term
Yesterday morning the physician was
summoned to appear in court and show
cause, if any he had, why he should
not be held In contempt. He stated
to Judge Cam that he had intended
asking to be excused, but that in the
hurry of departure for his summer
vacation he had overlooked the mat
ter and did not think of it until he
was far from Georgia. The court de-
cided that the physician was in cor
tempt, though he let him down with
a light fine of $40.

That was marked contribution to
the passing political history Of the day
which was made by VIM. Jennings Bry-
an on the morning after the election.
Inithe was courteous enough TO say
that Judge Parker's defeat was in no
sence personal that che did as well
as he could under the circumstances
and then adds this splendid paragraph:
"The result was due to the fact that the
Democratic party attempted to be con
servatiye in the presence Of conditions
which demand radical remedies Ii
sounded partial retreat when ii should
have ordered a change all along the
line. The Democratic party has moth
ing to gain by catering the organized
aud predatory wealth. Unjust not on
ly do without such support, but 1t can
strengthen itself 10y inviting the open
and emphatic opposition of these ele-
ments. The campaign disclosed that
il is as ineXpident from the stand point
Of policy as it is wrong from the stand
point Of principle TO attempt any civil
ization Of the industrial and financial
despOts who are gradually getting con-
troll Of all the avenues Of wealth. The

success, must take the side Of the plain,

HOT AND COLD.


The Times.Dispatch says:
The fact Is. and this election shows
it, that the people at large are not so
much opposed to the trusts as the anti
trust speakers would make il appear
Thousands and thousands of persons
own stock in them, thousands and tens
Of thousands Of persons are employed
by them, and comparatively few feel
that they are personally oppressed or
disadvantaged by them. This will be
regarded by some as reasonable, but
We point them TO the election returns.
II the masses are so much opposed to
trusts, why did they not rise up and
smite them in the late election? Why
did they return to power by an over
whelmiDg majority, the Republican
party, which is the recognized friend
Of trusts? Trusts or no trusts, the
country is prosperous, and the voters
were unwilling at this time TO 90 into
trust-smashing or Mountaineering or
anything else that might tend to "un-
settle business They were satisfied
and proposed to "stand pat" and let
well enough alone. That is q cold
OlOOded view, but il is the fact Let
us add, however, that it does not make
tariff bOunties right and it does not
mean that the people are in favor Of a
system which enriches the trusts at the
expense OF the consumer and by and
by they are going to smash the system
to pieces, no natter what the effect Oh
the business interests.
Which is equivalent to saying that
the people love the trusts and yet they
don't, they are devoted to them and
yet despise them.
Why not confess the truth and be
done with it and that is that trust
money bought the money and that the |
lover nor hater Of the people had any
thing to do with it. We will not be-
lieve that the great body Of American
voters are ready to kiss the hand that
smites, but we do believe, and with
sorrow, that there are purchaseable
voters enough in the number to control
in National Elections. To say that
principle is making these sweeping
changes in New York and elsewhere
from time to time is in our opinion, to
talk nonsense. money makes the
