New York, July IS.—Mr*. Rueeell
Sage and a few friends prepared to
day to accompany the body of the dead
financier to It* place of Anal not In
Oakwood cemetery In Troy, N. Y.
a pedal funeral car waa engaged to be
attached to the Montreal express, and
It waa planned to commit the rematne
to the grave with no more Impoelng
ceremony than the recital of a brief
service,by the Rev. Andrew H axeman,
assistant paator of the Collegiate
Church of Bt. Nicholas.
The grave waa dug beside that of
Mr. Sage's ft rat wife. Extraordinary
precaution* ware taken that the body
of Mr. Sage should not ba disturbed.
Steel walla were placed In the grave
at a cost of 522,000. The cofrin Itself
Is of heavy copper Inclosed In mahog
any and represents an expenditure of
11,000.
Alarm Signals Oslors.
To guard further against the toihb
being despoiled the metal walls form
part of an electrical connection equip
ped with alarm signals and It la prob-
able that watchmen will be on duty In
the cemetery for months to corns.
The steel grave looks as though It
ware a solid mass. It weighs three tone
and Is of carefully tempered metal.
Is strong enough to resist rapeated
charges of dynamlts and la so fashion
ed that it would be Impossible to opei.
It by any ordinary means. It Is 7 feet
11 Inches long, 42*lnchee wide and It
inches in depth.
May Balk Contests.
The epitaph which la to be engraved
on the monument Is: ,
"I have dona the beet that I could
by the light of the day."
Mrs. Sage, after the Interment, will
remain In Troy, her girlhood home, for
a day or so, and will then return to
this city.
It Is expected that tomorrow the con
tents of the will of Mr. Sage will be
made public. Thirty blood relatives of
Mr. Sage are rnld to ba here, or on
their way here to claim, by legal con
test It necessary, thslr share of the
dead man's reputed fioo,000,000.
However, Charles W. Osborne, one
of the executors, la authority for the
significant assertion that he "guessed
all contests would be Knocked out."

DRAWING MATERIAL
At John L. Moore A Sons' for draughts
men, schools and colleges. 41 North
Broad St, Prudential building. • ••
Wednesday morning It looked as
though the long-sought relief was In
sight for ths peach growers of north
Georgia. Secretary Walter Hawkins,
of the Georgia Peach Growers' Asso
ciation, statsd that probably forty or
fifty cars would be sent to the differ,
ent points on the Western and Atlantic
at once, and that tha Armour Company
would be able to supply more as thty
were needed.
Home have thought that the trouble
was due to the fact that Armour has
an exclusive contract with the differ
ent railroads In Oeorgla whereby no
other refrigerator lines are allowed
to send thslr cars Into this section.
This, however, does not affect the sit
uation quite as much as might be ex
pected, from the fact that Armour owns
Tactically every car In tha United
Hates that would be available for han
dling fruit.
Tha real source of the trouble seems
to be that alt the cars possible were
supplied to the growers of south Geor
gia to mors the crop from that section,
and north Georgia's crop followed so
soon after that it was Impossible to
get ths cars returned fast enough to
supply the demand. Practically no fruit
Is shipped to any point south of Phila
delphia, and a great portion of It goes
to New York and beyond, so that It
takes more or lese time to return the
empty cars from these points.
"Doing All Ws Can," 8ays Armour.
At the office of the Armour car lines
In the Fourth National Bank building
It was stated that every effort was be.
tng made to rush cars to the points
where they were needed, Mr. Fleming,
the general repreasntativo of the Ar
mour lines, being out In person su.
perlntendlng the Icing of the cars.
A factor that goes toward causing
thesa shortages Is that ths fruit carry.
Ing business haa grown enormously
within ths past ten yeare, and while the
building of cars has gone steadily for
ward, It has not kept up with the In-
creaeed acreage devoted to the fruit
and truck Industry.
Early In tho spring Armour sends a
represetnatlve to every peach shipping
point In Georgia to gather Information
as to the probablo number of cars
which will be needed,, and then plans
are made to supply thfcse. This would
have been accomplished with all oase,
had ths cars which carried the earlier
shipments been promptly returned
from the Northern markets.

companions, Guy Arthur Myers, 22
years old, of 110 Davis 'street, dr as
thrown from the topmost round of the
spiral and badly hurt.
Myers and hla two friends entered
the car In the best of spirits, Intent
upon enjoying to Its full the'fascinat
ing awing, and Just after they reached
the top Myers, It Is said, stood up In
the car, neglecting the posted sign
warning against that very thing. His
friends tried to persuade him to sit
down, but to no avail. Shortly after
the car was turned loose to be carried
around with only Its own Impetus, It
made a sudden dip In the track end
then In the whirl of rounding the
curve young Myens lost his balance and
was thrown completely out of tha car
and over ths scaffolding, striking on a
pile of lumber which was Just bslow.
It was Impossible to stop ths oar, but
aa soon as It reached tbs bottom his
comrades rushed to his assistance and
found him lying unconscious on tha
lumber. The Grady Hospital ambu
lance was hastily summoned and the
oung man carried to that Institution,

roken above the knee and Hla left

Though thousands of people have
ridden the toboggan slide every season
for several years, this Is tbe second ac
cident that has been reported since
soon after It was first erected.
Myers was employed by the Southern
Bell Telephone Company, and was ac
companied on hla trip by Harvle T.
Tutwllsr, his cousin, and H. Moseley,
who are also employed by the telephone
company. He was for a number of
yeare In the law office of Felder ft
Rountree, but has been In the auditing
department of the telephone company
for some time past.
He Is one of tha best known young

cerning the accident:
When Myers and his friends an
tered the car, handed their tickets to
tha conductor, Mayers turned to his
friends on ths rear seat with tha dec
laration that he had a funny story to
tell. He was warned then to keep his
seat, but just before reaching the sum
mit point, turned deliberately In his
seat and stood up, as tha car left the
chain.

As soon as the accident happened the

friends. The Orady ambulance was
called, and Myers was taken to tbe
hospital.
Hundreds of people who were near
the device yelled to Myers to be seat

every effort to make him take his seat,
but with no success. Mr. Mosen, of ths
party, even tried to pull him down by
