NEARLY A FATAL ACCIDENT.
What came n- ar being ft lata! accident
occurred t the foot of Third street
this morning at vyo o’olock, near
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia railroad depot. For several weeks
a gang of colored men have been
at work excavating the grounds for
the building to be erected by the railroad
company to be used as a freight and pas
senger depot. Last night unsuccessful
attempts were made until midnight to up
root a number of trees which grew very
close together. This morning the attempt
was resumed at 6 o’clock. Wm. Me
t'owan, one of the men, placed six dyna
mite cartridges and nearly a whole
keg of powder in a hole under the
trees. At *:3O o’clock the signal
was given. The men got out of the way,
and the fuse ws alighted. Almost im
mediately a dull report was heard. “All
pver,” shouted Thomas McCoy, another
one of the hands, and at this signal tbo
tnen began to resume their places to go
to work, feeling sure that the attempt
was a tailure. Almost immediately after
wards a terrible explosion took place,
throwing rocks, dirt and debris of all
kinds Into the air and in every direction.

Col. \V. H. Gilder—His Dangerous
Journey Across .Siberia.
New York, July 27. —Col. W. H. Gilder,
wno has dropped into ridicule just ns he
was about to rise to glory—w ho was ae
cust-dof embezzlement by Dolly Adams,
the Water Queen, and thus prevented (t orn
sailing ir. search ot the North Pole—is
able and reckless, admirable and other
wise. He is a man of mammoth physical
proportions, as stroug as an ox and as
hardy as an Ksquiuieau dog. His tastes
originally ran to the brush and pal
ette. He bad a studio, and devoted him
self more or less to art. at Newark,
N. J. His drift in journalism
carried him to New York, and his
physical prowess and tastes got him sent
off with Lieut, Schwalka to the Arctic
region. He hadn’t been back long belore
he was ofl again to help find the lost .Jean
nette. On this trip he traveled .1,000 or
or 6,000 miles across Siberia in a sledge.
Kor one particularly loug and dreary
stretch he was alone with a driver who
bad gone with him only under compul
sion, and who, Glider heard before start
ing, had sworn to kill him ilis lonely
journey with this man lasted tifty-four
days, and during tuat time Glider had to
t>e constantly on the alert for fear that
Ins driver would leave him to perish iu
the snow. Toe Colonel says he never
slept so soundly but that the sligut
est movement of his driver awoke
him instantly. Another trip of Gilder
for his journal was to China, at the time
ot tiio black Hag insurrection, which leu
to the Frenoh war in Ton<|Uiu. For
eighteen months he was heard from only
at rare intervals, hut came hack all right.
It was during tnis absence that the rirm
of brokers of whom be had borrowed
money sold the bond which Dolly Adams,
the professional swimmer, had given him
to keep for her, and which sue now ac
cuses him of embezzling. A good illus
tration of Gilder’s conduct in business
allairs is tbe fact that, when hauled up in
court to answer Dolly’s charge, instead of
keeping still and leaving uer to prove her
accusation, although cautioned by the
justice nut to criminate himself, he blurt
ed eat that atio w as only telling the truth
—tbat he had her bond aud never returned
it or its value.
The romance in this ludicrous affair is
commonplace. Gilder’s appreciation of
the attractiveness ot the lair swimmer
lasted through several years, and was
somewhat aident, but he broke off witn
her a good while ago. Her present action
is said to he for vengeance pure and sim
ple.and not to satisfy any iovelorn anxiety
to keep him from starting on a dangerous
journey. She says, “I don’t care any
thing lor him. 1 want my money back,
i want the stuff.” Revenge she has got,
to the extent of making the Colonel 7 ri
diculous, and keeping him from starting
on his voyage. Tbe Arctic trip has been
given up for the present, and the start,
wheu made, will be in a different manner
trom tnat at first intended.
Tbe Gilder family is remarkable in
more than its Colonel. It came origi
nally from Bordentown, N. J., and lias
reached metropolitan fume via Newark.
Richard Watson Glider, the eldest son,
be.au literary work as a reporter in New
ark, and allerwards founded aud failed to
maintain the Newark Register. He came
to New York aud has become ricu and
the editor of the Century Magazine.
Jeannette, his sister, a stalwart girl,
as strong in mind as in body, used
to be a proof reader, and was as
popular among tbe journalists in Newark
as though she had been a man. She
also came to New York, and for a long
time did newspaper writing. She wore
an ulster and a derby, rode on the trout
piatlorm ot the street cars when there
was no room anywhere else, and was a
hail fellow, as she had been in Newark.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. JULY 28.1886.
A PECULIAR MILLIONAIRE:.
He Grows Elm Timber for His Own
Coftiii and Those of His Friends.
From the -Vrir York Ilerild.
Bridgeport, Conn., July 24.—Mr.
Joseph Richardson, of this city, probably
the wealthiest man in Connecticut, was
b <rn in England seventy-two years ago.
Ho remained in that country long enough
to become imbued with the spirit of its
ways and social amenities, and with a
fair education came to this country wita
uis lather, alter whom he was named.
The father was immensely wealthy, and
his property was divided among three
children—two sous and a daughter. Mr.
Richardson seems to have possessed the
liappy (acuity of turning everything he
touched into money, and what in the way
of transformation failed him he has made
good by accumulation through patient
waiting, fits residence in North Bridge
port is at the corner of a large farm which
lor fertility has no equal in the country.
Forty years ago he sent to England for ail
elm sapling. It reacited hun in March,
and m the following month he plantedit
with care near bis dwelling. It grew and
developed to a mighty tree. During tbe
thirty-three years it was growing Mr.
Richardson Ofie-n called the attention of
his friends to the fact that in his native
land, among the educated classes, it was
the custom for men, by way of showing
special regard for their personal friends,
to present them with elm timber for their
coffins, and that this tree had been planted
and fostered with that end in view in his
case. He often talked about the tree, and
would never allow the pruning ax to be
applied. Mr. Richardson’s great wealth
has brought him into association with the
best people in the country, and only
among tuose who failed to be honored
with his intimate acquaintance is he
looked upon and pronounced penurious.
Through life he has abhorred all that sa
vored of distilay, and tu all his business
counsels he has taken pains to inculcate
the importance of economy.
FUNERAL PREPARATIONS.
In the matter of funeral ceremonies, in
which, it must be admitted, there is more
cheap gorgeotisuess some limes than
genuine sorrow for the departed, he has
emphatically declared that the money
thus expended could have been put to bet
ter use. Some six or seven years ago Mr.
Richardson took a final view of his elm
and resolved to put in form the resolution
he had adopted respecting the tree more
than a generation preceding. Tne tree
was felled, the best part of the trunk taken
to a mill and sawed into planks. From
these sufficient material was selected for
three coffins. To make his own coffin ho
engaged the services of a Mr. Judd, of
this city, who was instructed to practice
economy. This artisan dovetailed the
ends ol the planks, thereby rendering tbe
employmentof iron screws unnecessary.
\\ hen the coffin was delivered Mr. Rich
ardson pronounced it perfect in every
part aud had it packed away iu bis garret
to await the owner’s final cull tor its use.
In reply to a friend’s question he said:
“No, thereavill be no engraved plate. It
costs too mucl), and is not essential. I
have had my old brand iron, displaying
J. RICHARDSON,
beated, and with it I have burned my
name at tbe top and on both sides. 1
guess that will-answer.” “But what will
you do for a date?” his friend asked.
••Oh, no matter for that. There will be
no trouble in remembering when “Joe”
Richardson dies.
A COFFIN FOR DP,. PIX.
But the peculiar feature of this timber
matter follows. Long ago Mr. Richard
sou made the acquaintance of Rev. Dr.
Dix. D. !>., rector of Trinity church,New
York, and there grew up between them a
warm frioudship. Mr. Richardson ad
dressed to his friend the following note:
Her. Pr. Dot :
Dear Bhothk.r—l send yon material
enough to make a coffin. Please accept.
Yours, J. Ricuakdson.
Dr. Dix acknowledged tbe receipt of
the gilt and expressed thanks. lie at
once proceeded to have a coffin made,
but instead of following Mr. Richardson’s
suggestion of supplying dovetails for
economy’s sake, be had it made up in
modern style, brass fastened at the cor
ners, adorned and strengthened. When
tbe giver was apprised of Dr. Dix’s ex
pensive ideas lie piotested and felt sure
the pomps and vanitiesof this world were
destined to take precedence over the
plaiu and substantial matter of fact. Re
maining planks from the tiee were pre
sented by Mr. Richardson to his only
brother in New Y ork, who, likewise was
thankful, but could not bring himself to
appreciate the economy measures in coffin
construction lollowed by tbe giver.
IMPRISONED IN AN ICE-BOX.
Saved from Freezing to Death Only
by His Great Strength.
Frn-o the Seic York World,
South Norwalk, Conn., July 24.— 1n
Main street, near the depot, stands a large
wooden building, occupied by Wilbur
Ayers as a wholesale ami retail provision
market. In the rear of the market is an
ice-box and patent refrigerator (or storing
meats, about i) feet high, lit long, 10 wale.
I'be box is composed of heavy 1-Vj-inch
cncstnut plank outside and with a lining
between the planks of 12 inches of pow
dered charcoal, and as a further
protection has a heavy lining of
zino inside the box. Tne door
locks with a patent snap lock and can be
opened only from the outside. Yesterday
Mr. Avers, having occasion to inspect the
refrigerator, opened the door ami went in.
A sharp click, and in a moment he was a
prisoner in the great ice-box with the
temperature at zero, ills clerks had all
gone todinner, not to return tortwo hours,
and there v. us nobody to notice wnut hail
occurred. .Mr. Avers, who is a large ami
powerful man, weighing over 200 pounds,
exerted his immense strength against the
door without avail, at the same time
shouting until he became hoarse. Finally
lie became so exhausted that he was com
pelled to rest, and leaning against the
box, tried to devise seme wav to liberate
himself.
Then ho began to feci sleepy, and in a
moment it Hushed through his mind that
lie was freezing to death. Ho threw his
i body violently against the door time and
[time again, walked around, closely ex
! am I tied all parts and then came back and
' tried the door for the last time. Tonisjoy
he perceived a crack in the plank, and
throwing his body again and again against
! it he dually widened it so that he could
gi t a hold with his hands. Then hb tore
out the inside planks and a layer of char
coal, leaving onlv the outside of the door
bet ween him and liberty. After repeated
trials he broke through that barrier, how
ev' r, and crawled out and tell on thetluor,
being tound there Ivy some customers.
A physician was summoned, and an ex

A REMINISCENCE Ol ROSS.
The Sword Champion’s Exploit in the
Zulu War.
From the Ormha Bee.
! “Every bullet has Its billet” is an old
saying, but not one in a thousand hits a
man, is as true. Duncan G. Ross, the
1 young man who is tbe champion all
j round athlete of America, and who to
i day, as a swordsman, challenges the
! world to compete with him on horseback
with sabres, when in the British army,
by his soldierly bearing aud fearless
horsemanship, attracted the attention of
Lord Charles Beresford, or “lighting
Charley,” as he is called, one of England’s
brightest young Geuerais. The result
was, when the troops sailed for
Alrica to take part in the Zulu campaign,
Ross was amongst them as chief ol bead
quarter orderlies, Lord Beresford being
in command of the cavalry. In Africa,
on the march to the interior, lully one
third ot the troopers were laid low by
sickness, Ross undoubtedly through his
abstemious habits and healthy Scotch
diet in his youth, almost alone retaining
his gavety and vim, aiding one comrade
here, cheering another there, until Zam
bulta was reached,where good water being
available, an article horses and men had
been without for thirty-eight hours, camp
was pitched, pickets posted, and the worn
out troopers sought repose. But hardly
two hours had passed before tbe
alarm was sounded and every
man that was able fell into the ranks of
his command. Lord Beresford, who is
peculiarly English In appearance and
manner, with his eye-glass in his eye, in
quired of his chief of staff what the deuce
the black beggars meant by kicking up
such an infernal row just as a fellow had
got to sleep ? No time was given lor a re
ply, the enemy attacked in force, they
came in swarms from the cover of what
seemed an Inextricable tangle of brush.
Quietly giving a command, two hundred
men under Maj. Gillespie fell to tne rear
with orders to make a detour and sur
prise the enemy In flank or rear, a des
perate plan when it was estimated
the hlaoks were in force to
the number of 6,000. Time
elapsed, the fighting grew hot, the nigs
iell in scores, but for every fallen one an
other was there to take his place. Beres
ford was anxious and longed for the diver
sion in his favor the detached 200 men
would produce. He could bear it no
longer, so calling Ross, with a brief ex
planation as to Maj. Gillespie’s orders
and the probable length of his detour,
commanded him to bring his force into
action at once front, rear, flank, anywhere,
so that he struck the enemy. With
a salute and “1 understand,
General,” Ross put spurs to his horse,
but not further in the direction indi
cated than a few hundred yards, when,
suddenly wheeling, he made straight for
the massed crowd of blacks, and shout
ing like a veritable fiend, plied bis sabre
right and left, as though at pursuing
practice in the riding school, fits good
angel was therewith him, for at the end
of twelve minutes his horse Tell dead, one
of his boots completely cut away,but with
a clubbed pistol iu one hand and a
broken sabre in the other his tre
mendous strength was making
such havoc that a panic struok bis ad
versaries, an opportunity not lost by
Beresford, wbo, quickly missing his
troops, made a charge that sent all before
it helter-skelter. The upshot was that
Ross was offered a commission, but
quietly said he preferred to remain as he
was, lor he could enjoy himself and have
money to spare, but as an officer his pay
would not prevent him being always in
debt.
GRAHAM ANI) H!S BARREL.
Preliminary Tumbles Before Going
Over Horseshoe Kalis.
From t he Few York' Sun .
Niagara Falls, July ‘id.—There were
thousands of excursionists here to-day,
and most of them saw C. D. Graham and
his barrel at the Whirlpool Rapids Park.
Graham got tired shaking hands with his
visitors, many of whom were cranks with
suggestions to offer. One crank, who
came from St. Catherine’6, offered to get
in at the whirlpool and ailow himself to
be pulled up to the Suspension bridge
with a rope. “Anybody can go down the
rapids, dead or alive, hut l would like to
see you pulled against the rapids,” said
the man. A small crowd surrounded
him. and Graham walked away.
The cooper said afterward that he bad
begun his experiments for going over the
Horseshoe (alls, and had about finished
plans for the barrel, it will be built of
two-inch staves, with a cork covering
two inches thick. The hammock inside
will be shaped more like a ball, and
will be more elastic and stronger than the
other half. Graham proposes to get into
his barrel and be shoved off one of the
bridges across the gorge before going over
the falls.
“1 would like to jump from the railroad
suspension bridge into the head of the
rapids.” lie said to-night, “but should 1 he
killed people would never know whether
toe fall or tbe rapids killed me. If I go
off tbe bridge at Prospect Park my barrel
can be caught by boat before the whirl
pool rapids are reached, aud l could oe
rescued it it were found that the tali bHd
stunned me.”
The cask in w - bich he went through the
whirlpool will be used in making his pre
liminary tumbles. The hammock, how
ever, will lie improved. Au oid guide at
the fulls expresses the opinion that Gra
ham would not be harmed bv a trip in his
proposed cork cask over the falls. Gra
ham has reoeived a large number of let
ters from love sick or roiuautic maidens.
A Husband's Hevengc.
Lonj Rntnch Cor. A'ac York /ferald.
Husbands are not always so blind as
they seem. One of them performed a very
clever act on Saturday afternoon. A
young and handsome basso singer belong
ing to one of the comic opera companies
in New York had been recuperating here
for several davs, and he devoted rather
too much attention to a married ladv.
He drove lit her carriage, walked with
her on the porches and sat with her in
the same place until the moon went
to sleep. The flirtation grew 7 very
tiresome to other married women who
hud nothing ot the kind on hand. Some
meddlesome person among these noble
hearted philanthropists dropped the hus
baud a note, telling him that if he didn't
want horns upon his head he’d better
come down here and look after his wife.
He was not slow to take the bint. He
sent bis spouse word that he would be
down on the *1:47 train, but instead ot that
he came early in the afternoon, and had
the extreme pleasure of seeing the equip
age he supported for his wite drive up to
receive that lady and the basso singer.
When they had entered the victoria he
called a public cab aud followed. The
road led toward Pleasure Bay. and when
a long, sunny stretch was reached he
hailed his own coachman ahead. The
man knew his voice and pulled up tho
grays. The husband discharged the hired
cab and sent it back. Tnen he stepped to
bis wife’s carriage and ordered her com
panion to mount upon (be box beside the
driver. There were signs of insubordina
tion but no words.tor the husband quietly
put his baud into his lop pocket where
he only had a silk handkerchief,
be declares. The pretty singer found
himsell undone—barred out, as it were.
Ho took the cue and mounted to the box.
aud 1 saw tlie party return, having been
apprised bv a mutual friend as to w hat
was likely to occur. The husband ordered
his coachman to drive slowly past, in full
view of tho hotel, and everybody woo
knew the young masher saw him seated
on tne box beside the sleek driver. He
disappeared soon alter, and everybody
voted the husband a philosopher. It beat
a kicking ail to pieces.
