Killed by Street Car In Atlanta.

Atlanta, Feb. 13.-An unknown
man was struck by a street car on the
Highland avenue line last night
about Z O'Clock and his body was
badly mangled, death being almost
instantaneous.
According to the conductor of an
outgoing Highland avenue car the
man had got on the street car down
town and had asked to be put off at
Copenhill avenue. This was done.
He was struck by an incoming car
in some way, as yet unexplained. The
initials -. ~. r." were found in his
hat and a number of bills were in his
pocket, from which his identity may
be learned. 1t is supposed that he
was carpenter. When he boarded
the train 1t was noticed that he was
intoxicated.
Motorman Wallace. who was run
ming the car. did not see the man,
who was lying on the left hand rail
Of the track, until the car was almost
on him. II was down grade and i'm
possible to stop for number of
yards. According to passengers the
car was stopped 20 feet after the car
struck the victim. and the mangled
body of the man had been dragged
for that distance.
Either he found he could walk no
further and fell down on the track
or the man committed suicide, but,
owing to his condition, the street car
men are OF the opinion that he fell
on the track and was asleep i'm a con-
pie of minutes.

GOES To JAIL FOR
A GROCERY BILL

Hamilton, Burmuda, May 27.-Im-
prisonment for debt, theoretically
abolished throughout John Bulls vast
empire, continues to be enforced in
this colony. At the present time, one
John Robinson, a driver, languishes
in Hamilton goal because he was una
BILE to pay grocery bill of about fifty
dollars.
When called before the worship
full" police magistrates that official
is dignified in this colony-Robinson
pleaded irregularity of work and con-
sequent lack of funds as to the reason
for his inability to pay his debts.
Judge Appleby sentenced him to six
weeks in prison. Many similar cases
have come up in the local courts. and
the system of Imprisonment for poor
people unable to pay their debts is
firmly established here.
