FIVE NEGROES INJURED.

Chattanooga Tenn, Sept T.
Especial. Five men were fearfully
burned and injured, three perhaps
fatally, at 6 O'Clock this morning by
the explosion of a keg of giant pow
der at the cinder bed of the old fur
mace Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company, half mile from
South Pittsburg. The men were at
work digging out the old cinder pile
to be used as ballast on the double
track of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad from Steven
son, Ala, to Chattanooga. One of
them was attempting to open keg
of powder with pick when spark
from the steel point fell in to the
powder and caused the explosion.
The injured men were: Henry Clark
and son, Robert Mcdonald, Jess Tai
ley and Walter Hendrickson

BITTEN BY MAD DOG. :. :. :,

Clara, the 8-year-old daughter Of
Mrs. Minnie Gray, and Selma, aged
4, daughter of Mrs Emma Darcus
both residing at 1913 Fifth avenue,
north, Nashville, are in precarious
condition from being bitten by a mad
dog Tuesday morning The Pasteur
treatment was begun this morning
in an effort to save their lives.
Upon inquiry it developed that no
steps have been taken to- guard
against other dogs going mad which
might have been bitten by the dog
which was killed, although there are
a number of dogs in the immediate
vicinity of where the little girls were
bitten.
DR.. Litterer said that the idea that
many persons have that hydrophobia
would develop in nine days is un-
founded. Dogs usually go mad from
fifteen to thirty and sometimes forty
days after they are bitten Accord
ing to this, if other animals were bit
ten by the dog on the day the little
girls were attacked, it is possible
that evidences of hydrophobia could
be sufficiently developed in them to
make them dangerous as early as
Sept. 22nd, or possibly sooner.

Mr.. Robert e. Clay, the noted lee
turer of Bristol, Tenn, is in the city,
and has made quite an impression
with his famous lecture Biting and
Singing" Mr. Clay is a forceful
speaker and drives home to his hear
ers in an unmistakable manner the
message hn has to deliver. At the
Scovel Street Church on Wednesday
night the meeting addressed by Mr.
Clay was highly pleased with his re-
marks. At ST. Paul next Sunday aft
ernoon a meeting for men only will be
held and it is anticipated that large
crowd will be out.
1t is rumored that the special mis-
sion of Mr.. Clay at this particular
time is to aid the law enforcement
people in their effort to wrest the
city government from the Demo
Gratis. Mr. Clay denies that his mis-
sion has any relation to politics what
ever, but the rumor will not down.
The argument is made that he would
not come to Nashville for a stay Of
several weeks and at this particular
time unless was for the specific
purpose stated above. 1t is known
that the Law Enforcement crowds are
securing the country for helpers in
their campaign, and if it is true that
they have secured Mr.. Clay it is an
evidence that they mean business.

Meharry Ready for Another Years
Work

On the thirteenth Meharry Medical
College will throw open her doors for
the reception of students who desire
to enter the medical department. On
the goth the Pharmaceutical Depart
ment will speak and on the 9th the
Dental Department will begin opera
ton.
DR.. Hubbard Dean of the college,
when seen by Globe representative.
was busy getting things in shape for
the opening. He stopped long enough,
however, to say word about the
school with which he has spent his
life and for which he will sacrifice.
The Dean said never in the his
tory of Meharry have the indications
of a successful years work been
more favorable, and he anticipates a
large attendance and the graduation
of large class. Flint Medical Col
lege at New Orleans will not open
this year and it is expected that the
students from there will come to Me-
harry. 1t could not be learned wheth-
er or not the closing of Flint is per-
manent, but it was given out with
good authority that the manage
ment does not intend to open again
until they are able to put up a new
building and a hospital, but when this
is expected could not be learned.
Dr.. H. T. Noel, one of the leading
physicians in the South and a grad
uate of Meharry, will succeed Dr.
Baskette as professor of obstetrics
DR.. Noel is we'll known throughout
the country and is leading citizen
here.
The formal opening will be on the
9th, when all the ministers and lead
ing citizens will be invited out to a
platform meeting. DR.. Hubbard de-
sires that the students know the min
listers in particular, where their
churches are and when they have
services.

On Monday morning of next week
the array of little folks from every
quarter will be on the move bright
and early, trudging away to school to
meet teacher and classmates, ready
to begin another years work. Vaca-
ton with all it's merriment is over.
Picnics have been many and happy
hours spent in the fresh country air
have strengthened and invigorated
those boys and girls who were tired
and worn after a hard years work
in the schoolroom. September is
here and the hot summer days are
passing from memory. Every boy
and girl is filled with a determination
do better in their studies this year
than last
Many improvements have been
made in the schools Pearl High has
been renovated from top to bottom
and necessary improvements have
been made in many of the other
schools. The reporting of the chill
dren on Thursday indicated that the
attendance this year will be above
the average. Some new faces will be
seen in the teaching corps, but the
changes will be few From every
quarter the report comes that the out
look is very much in favor of a rec
ord-breaking attendance in all the
schools.

The reports of the various officials
of the club showed that the finances of
the club are in good condition for the
opening of the new year.
The coming season promises to be a
decidedly interesting one for the mem
bers of the club and the big feature
of the season will be the entertainment
of the annual tournament of the state
golf association. The tournament will
be held on the last two days of July
and the first of August and already
plans are being made for the entertain
ment of the state golfers. William L.
Yule is president of the state associa
tion and he will probably be named by
president Lance as the head of the local
committee to have charge of the tour
ney. The full list of committees will
be announced within a short time. Fol
owing the custom of other years the di-
rectors arranged for the opening of the
new season on Memorial day with the
annual handicap match.

Rheinhart Permits Man to go Through
His Clothes and They Get Away
With s37 in Money But Leave jew
elry Unmolesteds


e. L. Rheinhart, 3S7 Exchange street
whose father recently received a heri-
tage of more than million dollars
from a German estate was the victim
of holdup men on Monday night when
he was held up and robbed by couple
of well dressed men at the corner of
South and Exchange streets. It was
profitable for the holdup men as they
forced their victim to give up $37 in
cash. The holdup occurred just after
seven O'Clock Monday evening and as
soon as possible Rheinhart notified
the police of the city but they have
as yet been unable to find any trace Of
the guilty men. Scores of people must
have passed the corner within a short
time after the holdup but the police
have not been able to find any one who
saw suspicious characters about the
corner.
rRheinhart resides at the home of DR..
F. B. Lansdowne and after dinner he
started down town. AS he approached
the corner of South and Exchange
street he saw a couple of men saunter
across from the Wells foundry but as
it was early in the evening he paid
little attention to the men. He met
them at the northwest corner of the
two streets and without any further
ceremony one Of the men drew a revol-
yer and shouted, "Throw up your
hands, Although he was the son of
a millionaire Rheinhart lost no time
in following the order and his hands
went up. "Give us your money or your
life" shouted one of the men and
Rheinhart got facetious and said,

the revolver began swapping the trig-

Heavily in Approval of Patrons.
Without question, the best popular
priced attraction seen in this city in
years was the production of "The
Sweetest Girl of ALL which was pre-
scented by Jack Bessey's Hickman-Bes-
sey company Tuesday night at the
Rhode opera house. The entire COM
pany achieved distinct triumph and
established a reputation that insures a
successful week. The company is well
balanced and every character was
a success that made the whole a
clever presentation, equalling many of
the expensive high class attractions.
that have been offered in the past.
Jack Bessey, as "Wilton Holmes, y
and Evelyn De Foliart, as "Louise Ell
wood appeared in the stellar roles
and won instant favor, while Grace
Baird, as Phoebe" and Eugene Lane
as "Zacharias Roupe" kept the aud
fence in almost continual roar. The
vaudeville between acts was a strong
feature of the performance, offering re-
fined and up-to-date acts of which the
character specialties of Grace Baird and
the comedy sketch of Lane and Adell
were roundly applaused, while "Mahat-
ma the woman of mystery was as big
a sensation as ever.

There Is no immediate danger OF
the space above the earth being over
crowded with airships. But apparent
ly there are those who believe the
time is at hand when rules of the
road" will be necessary in order to
assure safety to aerial travellers. The
first international congress on aerial
navigation in session is in Paris, be-
gan deliberations in the foreign office
and was opened by no less a digni-
tary than the French minister of pub
lie works, who commended the pur-
pose of the gathering, which is to pro-
mote international legislation looking
to the outlining of rights In the air.
No doubt it will be well to have rules
and regulations, so that when men
actually begin to fly for business,
pleasure or war there will be no mis-
understanding.
