Collision at Night With a Telegraph Wire-Dr. Failigant’s Hairbreadth Escape from a Horrible Death. Last evening a little after dark, as Dr. L. A. Falligant was driving along West Broad street, in frontof the Central Rail road oiliee, corner of AA’est Broad and McDonough streets, his horse ran into a telegraph wire which was suspended near the ground, but which it was impossible for him to see on account of the darkness. Just as the accident occurred several of the men at work on the wires made a sudden grab for it and lifted it over the horse’s head, the horse and buggy still going forward. “Just at this moment,” says the doctor, “as 1 felt my horse’s speed partially ar rested. it occurred to me that we might lie in collision with a telegraph wire, and that as it was raised over the horse, or swung over in part, it would necessarily catch my buggy top about the level of my breast. Instantly I felt the top being jerked back and a pressure within an inch of the crest of my left shoulder. As quick as a flash 1 bent my head to the right and backwards, at the same time pulling in niv horse by the reins with all my strength. At the same moment I felt the wire jerk across mv face, robbing the skin over iny left eye just below the eyebrow, and whipping my hat off my head. If I had not bent my head over at the verv moment I did, the wire would have .-night my throat and most likely severeu mv head from my neck. “Mv driver’s escape was almost as nar row. Ho had lient forward to catch the reins and aid in stopping my horse when the wire w hipped across the top of his head, whirling his hat into the back of the buggy top, which had teen pulled down and broken in pieces. By the time 1 could fairlv get a good breath, I thanked the Lord* I was still alive, and that my eye was not cut out of my head. “1 have not been able yet to ascertain how much damage was done to the buggy beyond tearing and breaking the top, or whether my horse was cut by the wire. -1 feel It my duty to censure very se verely the employes of the_ Telegraph Company for doing work of this character after it becomes too dark tor persons driv ing along the street to even see the wire at all.” DANK ELECTIONS. Annual Meeting of the Savannah Bank and Trust Company—lncrease of the Capital Stock. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Savannah Bank and Trust Compa ny was held yesterday at the banking house. Mr. George J. Mills was called to the chair, and John L. Hardee, Esq., acted as Secretary. The President, Capt. D. G. Purse, sub mitted a report of the affairs of the bank during several years past, showing it to be in a very prosperous condition. After a discussion of the report, and in view of the facts it contained, it was decided to in crease, by the issue of SIOO,OOO additional stock, the present capital to $500,000. Accordingly a resolution was passed authorizing the Board of Directors to issue stocks to that amount.

New Year’s eve was a remarkably quiet one in Savannah, and the departure of the old year, issa, was attended with very little demonstration A few fireworks were discharged in the southern portion of the city, and the colored people were ju bilant in anticipation of to-day’s celebra tion, but with that exception there was no public observance. In the Methodist Churches watch night services were held, and the death of the old year was solemnly awaited until the city clocks struck 12, when the birth of the New Year was an nounced and the watchers dispersed. So cially the evening was perhaps more gen erally observed than in any other way. There were numerous gatherings in vari ous parts ofthe city. The ball of the “H. S. S.” Club at St. Andrew’s Ilall was well attended, and was a very pleasant and successful affair. At Aniory Hall a pri vate party in “phantom” costume, danced the old year out and the new year in. At a late hour the streets were quiet and free from disturbances. There was a marked absence of disorder and only a few arrests were reported at the barracks at two o’clock this morning. Arrested as a Watch Thief. A white man named John Jones, was charged with stealing a watch and chain from a tailor named Thomas Moler in a house kept by Henry Sauer and known as the Black Bear,.corner of Bay and Jeffer son street, on Sunday night. Jones it ap pears. came from Jacksonville on Satur day, and applied at the house mentioned for lodging, lie was assigned to a room with Moler. Some tune during the night he woke Moler and asked what time it was. The tailor drew out his watch and an swered. Jones arose early the next morning and left the house. Some time afterward Moler missed his watch and chain, and no one having been iu the room except Jones, he was charged with the theft, and was arrested yesterday at the instance of the proprietor of the house, and brought before the Mayor, before whom the ease was partially investigated and continued for further trial. City anil Suburban Kailway. At the annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the above company, held yesterday, Maj. A. L. Hartridge was called to the Chair, and Capt. D. G. Purse elected Sec retary. The following gentlemen were elected Directors: Jas. 11. Johnston, J. 11. Estill, J. Hauers and A. L. Hartridge. The meeting adjourned, subject to the ca II of the Chair, to receive the reports of the officers. At a meeting of the Board, held subse quently, the following officers were elected: President—Jas. 11. Johnstou. Chairman—J. 11. Estill. Secretary and ex-officio Director—D.G. Purse. Treasurer—H. G. Ganahl, Solomons A* Cos. A notice in another column announces that Mr. A. A. Solomons.the veteran senior of the drug house of Solomons A Cos., has disposed of his interest in that business to his son. Mr. Isaiah A. Solomons, who has heretofore carried on a successful com mission business, and will hereafter de vote his entire attention to “Solomons’ Proprietary Medicines.” Mr. Solomons and his house are known throughout the country as one of the most reliable in their liue of business. The firm was established in 1845, and have occupied their present location since 1846. The change will, to a certain extent, relieve Mr. A. A. Solo mons of the cares incident to business. In the change the firm will have the best wishes of their friends for their continued success. Davis Hros.’ Holiday Gift Drawing. Davis Bros.’ holiday gift drawing took place last night nt their store corner Bull and York streets. The Guards Band early in the evening took position on Bull street and discoursed a programme of selected music. The drawing began at 8:30 o’clock, the store beiug crowded to its fullest ca pacity. After the sale of the chances was completed, the matter was placed in the hands of a committee selected from those present, who superintended the affair. It was managed in a manner entirely satis factory to all concerned, and was a proof of the enterprise and go-aheadativeness of the firm. City and Suburban Kailway New Year’s Schedule. A special schedule of trains will be ruu on the City and Suburban Railway to-day. Trains will leave the Anderson street de pot at 10 a. m. and 2:25 and 6:10 p. m.; re turning, will leave Montgomery at 7:10 a. m., 2:50 and 4:30 p. m.. and Isle of Hope at 7:40 a. in.. 1:20 and sp. in., arriv ing m the city at 8:10 a. m. and 1:50 and 5:30 p. m.

Something About the Boys and Men Who Spread the News at Break of Day—Their Annual Address. AVe publish this morning the “Carriers’ Address to the Headers of the MORNING News,” copies of which neatly printed in note form will la; presented during the day in person by the carriers to the pa trons of the paper, and for which they hope to receive a substantial gift. Some will be handsomely rewarded with dimes, quarters and halves, and probably some exceedingly liberal subscriber will give a dollar to these mueh-abused mortals. It is generally supposed that carriers do not get sick, never go on sprees, forego excursions, picnics, and the many other misfortunes to which mankind are heir, but they are not exempt. AYhen they indulge in these recreations, sickness included, the early riser dees not get his Morning News. Sometimes, however, the carrier leaves the paper, but the sub scriber, who pays his money, does not get its value. Some kind neighbor, or tlie neighbor's bad boy, anxious to turn an honest nickel, gets it. At other times the family goat gobbles it and doubtless finds that he caa digest the Tonquin or tariff questions with equal facility. All these mishaps to the morn ing paper are laid to tlie unfortunate car rier. We do not believe these men and boys are ttetter than the average mortal, but they are called upon to do a work that requires early rising and ex posure to all kindsof weather. Altogeth er, we think that they do as well in their calling as most of us. and we therefore bespeak for them the kindly remembrance of our friends on this happy New A ear’s day. THE NEAT YEAR’S ADDRESS Of the Carriers of the Savannah Morn ing News. BY MISS K. J. PBILLBBICK. Again vour carrier waits With his greeting at your gates: Joy tie with you all, good friends, upon tills happy day. For another glad New A’ear Comes with liis promise fair. And hope springs from the grave of the Old Year passed away. The Old Year passed aw ay. The grand memorial year of Kighty-Thrkk. That clasped forever with his day And all Hie coming days to he. Tin* dories of tlie centuries grey, A golden link in history! Our own memorial year! Our city’s sesqui-centennial. Still we stray Beneath the February skies that shine In all their azure and their gold array l'pon tlie august pageant of that day; And still is borne upon the joyous air The peals triumphant of her sacred bells, Whose happy music tells Her birth not only, biit her growth divine, Advancing ever as the years advance How glows the patriot’s breast, how quickens pulse and thought. As to the mental sight the years unfold Their panorama, and the musing glance Doth note her glorious growth since first there came Across the perilous seas tlie barque that brought l nto this waiting land Him of the thoughtful brain and helpful hand. Friend of the friendless, Oglethorpe! thy name, Svnonym of a father's lender care. With good deeds fragrant and with honors fraught. Graved on our hearts we bear, But to thy deathless fame No sculptured stone we rear. Thou for thyself hast wrought A more enduring monument than carven stone— Behold the tree of stately growth that sprung From the weak seedling germined m thy thought. And planted by thine anxious care alone. ’Tis now thine olive crown! No blood-stained laurel this, but fair among Tlie trees primeval stands thy tree of peace. Our Forest City. Nor strife, nor fraud, nor shame Had part in its proud growth and fair in crease. Nor curse of blood upon the sunny land Since erst in Tomoehichi's hand. As leal anil trustful, tliou didst place thiue own. And through the circling years As virgin-white in honor still appears Thy loved Savannah’s name. We wake as from a dream; behold, A hundred years and half again are told Since first that tree was planted. Now Wide-spread anti bourgeon is each bough; And ice beneath its shade, I trow, Upon our Sesqni day Avery different sight did see To that which the old hero saw When the Mochi of Yamacraw in gorgeous array. To him a friendly hand did reach, And cried in choicest Indian speech: “ Tt ■<tauc puae-kaimy eehee!” Ah! had those honored shades the power To visit their old haunts again And watch unseen that festal hour, Then walk about their ancient streets, In which no tracks of theirs remain, And look on all the wondrous feats of late inventiug. they had been Too well astonished ghosts. I ween. And had they called again next day To view our glorious Trades’ display, Which even to our modern eyes Was something worth the sight. Who may depict their wild surprise And wondering delight! All, well, perhaps they did—who knows? And tlien went back to their repose, Contented that their little town Was doing all its level best To grow without one moment’s rest A city of renown. With such glad scenes the Year arose, And though events that marked its close Have filled, our hearts with grief— For flame has swept the haunted ground Of the old Indian chief— Yet, in our pain and loss is found A future gain and grace; And fair shall from its ashes rise The old historic place. Farewell, Old Year! Your race is ruu; We bless you as you close your eyes. And lurn'to wait the rising sun' With which your brother year shall rise. We dare not cast his horoscope. Yet as we see him joyous spring From tlie dead past of time, we hope That richer blessings he will bring— of good and health and wealth a store, Then welcome to us. Eighty-four. And now your carrier waits With his greeting at your gates: Joy be with you all, good friends, upon this happy day. For another glad New Year Comes with his promise fair. And hope springs from the grave of the Old Year passed away. EMANCIPATION DAY. How it will be Observed—Parade by tlie Colored Military.

Practical Education. It is the opinion of many of the most enlightened minds and brightest intellects everywhere that the present system of education, which embraces in its curri culum so many branches of a merely ornate or showy character, and so little of what is of practical value to the recipi ent, thus turning out its votaries with out giving them the proper use of their intellectual faculties, fails of accomplish ing the grand design of education—the symmetrical development ot the whole man and his perfect adaptation to what ever sphere in life he may be called upon to fill.. Hence we see rising on every side educational establishments, conducted by progressive minds, whose aim is to sup ply the much-needed demand ofthe times —au education of practical value to its possessor, one suited to every-day life and which can be drawn on, as one would draw on his banker, with the assurance that it will not be slow in responding to his reasonable demands and just expecta tions. Prominent amongst the institu tions of this class stands McCarthy’s Business College. Established in this sity for thirteen years, its career has been marked by the latge number of young men here and throughout the South whom it has educated and enabled to procure and retain emolumentary positions in the world of commerce. They are to be found on every hand in banks and busi ness houses,* insurance, railroad anti steamship companies’ offices, giving per fect satisfaction to their employers, and are living illastrations of the value of a practical and useful education com pared with a mere theoretical training in obsolete languages and other useless branches. The founder of this institution, Prof. M. B. McCarthy, is not ouly a thorougli scholar, but a nractical business man. He has also had an experience of forty years both as a literary and com mercial teacher, and was amongst the foremost of the pioneers m the building up of the new system ot practical educa tion, having been engaged by the late Rufus Dolbear, the renowned commercial educator of the South in years gone by, to aid the latter in placing upon a firm basis his new system of educational training, a system which has since grown to such vast proportions threughout the country. F’or the past decade he has been chiefly aided by his son, Prof. J. Y. B. McCarthy, who is a graduate of one of the largest and most efficient institutions of the International Association of Busi ness Colleges, an excellent accountant, a tine penman and an accomplished teacher. Such an institution is eminently deserv ing of the success which attends it, and we are pleased to learn that the college is in a flourishing condition; for there are few educational institutions of such great value to young men, and none can show a brighter record for usetulness or have better illustrated the advantages of prac tical education. With such an institu tion as this in our midst none need go to a distance to obtain a good, solid, practi cal education.— Adv. At Estill’s News Depot.

Is not a solid, practical, useful education better than a superficial, ornate and comparatively useless one? Who can gainsav this? Ask Charles Francis Adams about it. If then you become satisfied that a practical education is what is most to be desired as a mental acquirement, the question naturally arises.where can such an education be best obtained? Is there any school m Sa vannah that imparts it? Nor 'need you wait long for an answer. A practical education is afforded by an institution of thirteen years’ standing in your midst, t chose successful career is marked by the high degree of public confidence it has already gained and the annual increase in the number of its students. Need we say this school is McCarthy’s Business College? We know that there are some who ignore this school, and who seek an education at distant schools—not because they can obtain a better education elsewhere than here, but because it is promised to be imp irted to them in three months by schools at the Xorth. Wecannot per ceive why any should preter to pay several hundred dollars at a distant school for a mere superficial course Of learning rather than pa tronize a home institution of acknowledged merit at a cost lo them of an amount not exceed ing their traveling exieenses to. and from the North, Some tell as they go “to have a good time” and combine business with pleasure. This is not judicious. “One thing at a time, and that well done,” should he our motto. Remember, also, Parents and Young Men, that by patronizing distant institutions in preference to home institutions you not only deprive the latter of their legitimate support, but carry your money away to circu late it in strange "communities, to the great and permanent detriment of your own city; and, furthermore, as the Superintendent of Public Instruction said in his annual school ret>ort of 1878, you cast an undeserved reflection upon your own Southern schools by implying that their curricula and teachers are inferior to those of the North. With regard to our selves, we are willing toliave you judge us by our works. You will find our farmer students and graduates on all sides in this city In banks and business bouses, railway, steamship and insurance companies’ of fices. .Vote well the fact that many of these have never gone Xorth, and we challenge com parison between them and the graduates of Poughkeepsie College, or any other Xorth ern so-called “actual business ” school, either as to their qualifications as practical acoountants, elegant pemnen or practical business men, confident that such comparison could not fail to redound ad vantageously to our students. Away, then, with your "actualbusiness”nonsense schools! Whore is there any of them that can show a better record for usefulness, if as good, as ex hibited in practical results, than McCarthy’s Business College? And, parents, by edu cating your sons at home, they will not contract dissijmfed habits, as hundreds have done to our personal knowledge, of those who have been sent away from home. Leading business men, eminent educators, the press and former patrons endorse us. College re opens January 2, 1884. M. 15. McCarthy, A.
