CUT BY BIG SAW
Mr.. MosER MEETS WITH sERIous
ACCIDENT NEAR INWooD.
Wrist Nearly Severed BY Whirlin,
Saw Which Caught in the Belt
ing Of the Machinery.


Mr.. A. w. Moser, whose home Is at
M%yersville Frederick county, Md, met
with a serious accident near Inwood.
about $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Moser has been employed for
some time at the steam sawmilI of his
brother, Mr.. o. O.. Moser, of the Ger.
rardstown district.
Mr.. Moser was cumming a cross-cut
saw on an emery wheel at the time
of the accident. and while so engaged
the end of the sixfoot saw caught in
the moving belt and pulley of the
wheel with the result that the saw
vas whirled around and struck him
with great force. His left arm was
nearly severed at the wrist and ugly
gashes were cut in the right arm.
Mr.. Moser's injuries were temporar-
lily dressed by DIR. J. RI. Shipper, OF
Gerrardstown, and later In the night
he was brought to this city and placed
in DIR. Oates hospital. where his
wounds were stitched up. the surgeons,
besides DR.. Shipper. being Drs. An
drews, Myers and Oates.
That Mr.. Moser escaped more Sc
rious injury or even death Is almost a
miracle.
The patient is improving az salts.
fac orily as the circumstances OF the
case will permit.

 It Is the purpose of the sub-commit- tee to return to Washington in time for the regular convening of Congress on December 2, if they find that they can complete their work in Panama by that date. @
 The members of the subcommittee include James 4. Tawney. W. O.. Brownlow. Walter l.. Smith and George " Taylor.

Crew of 'Dolive" Has Not Yet Been
 Heard From. .. Mobile, Oct, 14.--(Special. .)--Super- intendent Clemmons of the Rittsnhouse Moore Dredging Company. went down the bay on the tug Hap wing this morning to investigate the sinking of the schooner "Lottie," of the Moore fleet, at Beacon 1s.
 With her sails furled. the schooner is laying about four hundred yards east of the channel, on bottom, and was discovered there Sunday. She evidently sank some time Saturday night.
 When the steamer Louis Dolive" passed her. going to the snapper banks, Captain Clark of the "Dolive'' found no one on board the stranded vessel. The "Lottie" may have struck an obstruction which tore a hole in her side. She is used to carry coal from the breakers to the dredges at work, in the lower bay under contract with the government. M
 The crew has not yet been located, though it is said they were taken from the stranded vessel by a tug.

SUNDAY VIOLATIONS.

Mobile, Oct, 14.-(SpeciaL 1--Tom Waicott, proprietor of a saloon on the corner of Lawrence and Virginia streets, was arraigned in the recorders court this morning on the charge of keeping open store on Sunday, and while he pleaded guilty to the charge, the case was continued to allow City Attorney Boone to ascertain whether the store is located outside the city limits. As to whether or not this is the case is dependent on the time when the bill passed by the Legisla- ture at It's last session, creating the Greater Mobile, goes into effect.
 Special Oficer Burch stated in court that he went to walcott's place of bus mess Sunday night shortly after o'clock and Knocked on the front door, which was immediately opened by a party on. the. inside The officer states that the defendant was behind his bar at the time,. and two other persons were standing in front of the bar, ap. parently about to order drinks.
 The defendant was then called on for his statement, and when he plead. ed guilty, the question of the courts Judge Clarke ask ed Attorney Boone if the place was inside the city limits. whereupou the attorney replied that he did not know positively.
 Mir. Boone went to explain that the first bill brought before the last Leg islature providing for the enlargement of the city limits of Mobile provided that the law should take effect on January 1, 1908. Whether the biIl which was finally passed contained the same provision. Mir. Boone stated that he did not know. In case 1t did, Judge Clarke has no Jurisdiction in the case, otherwise he has. The case was con- tinued until tomorrow to allow the city attorney to make an investigation of the matter.
 The act in question provides that it shall take effecs on January 1, and so the defendant is not ameniahle to the city authorities. He will probably be tried before Judge Afford in the in- ferior court.
 William FIannigan. proprietor of a bar-room at the corner of Palmetto and Royal streets, was arraigned in the recorders court this morning oh the charge of keeping open store on Sunday. The case was continued on the defendants request on the grounds that one of his witnesses was not in court.
 Special Officer Burch stated that he went to Flannigan's place Sunday morning shortly after 1 o'clock and found several people in the defendants store. Flannigan stated in court that he was not guilty and that he could establish this fact if allowed time to get his witnesses in court. The case will be heard tomorrow.
