High school pupils are all in a flutter of •xcitement this week. The graduation ex ercises will take place on Friday, and twelve young and more or less fond and tender hearts are beating fast as the day of white dresses and ribbon-tied compositions di •aws near. The essays have been care fully gone over and revised, and all that now remains is to tie the little knots of pink and blue ribbon through the eyelet holes at the top of the pages. What is most exer cising the minds of Principal Bogart's class just now is graduating dresses. The pre vailing color will of course lie white, but the style is what most troubles the little bangled brain that has Just been set free from books and horrid examinations. Principal Train's class is not at all worried in that way. BOYS IN THE LEAD. This year the boys outnumber the girls.

A MUCH DESIRED RELIEF. A Thunderstorm Causes an Agreeable Change in the Weather. The thunderstorm of yesterday afternoon prevented the rising of the thermometer to the height of the previous day, toward which it was slowly but Surely crewing. The morning was hot and dry, and when the sun began pouring out its beat the atmos phere became uncomfortable and as oppres sive as on Sunday. Some portions of the city caught a breeze, but it was not of much benefit, for it was hot enough to burn the cheeks. At midday it was more uncomfortable than it has been at any time during the three warm days that have just passed, though the thermometer did not record the highest temperature. The pavements und sidewalks and the walls of the bouses hud tieen soaking heat for three days and a half and t hey were aliout as thoroughly charged with it as theyjcoukl welljbe. There was but tittle comfort to be found anywhere. Within the houses which the hot walls converted into ovens, it wus almost unbear able at times. The Park furnished no re freshment. for thr% not a leaf was stirring tinless it was blown by a gust of the hot hind, ami a stroll to the river front failed to discoi er any fresh air stirring there. The sails of the boats hung loosely and Only now and then were they filled by a little puff. Everywhere it was exhausting, Send when a slight murmuring has followed by a heavier rumbling, ana the celestial artillery began to boom forth the announcement or a storm, it was hailed with welcome. The thunder was followed Dy a breeze that gathered strength as it proceeded and gradually developed into a Etty hard blow. For ja while the wind vejed at the rate of twenty-five miles an lr, and it picked up and carried With it, an enormous Quantity of lust. Up the streets could be seen |reat masses of dust rolling along envelop ing everything and shutting out everything ’rom view, but pretty soon a few Mattering Irops of rain began to fall, and then a light mt steady shower began. It did not rain lard, blit it kept it ui> for half an hour and aid the dust, and o >led the atmosphere. The tem|s*mture had reached §7* but it began to fall rapidly, and within forty-five minutes had fallen to 72°. This was a local Worm und Charleston, Augusta, Pensacola and several other points were blessed With similar ones. It was tne Jesuit. of a rain movement that originated in the Gulf on Satvmluy knd bus T>;en gradually working its way in lias ■ direction. These local storms are its forerunners and it will lie here about day tiler to-morrow unless its force is spent iu vul rains before it reaches here. After the sliimi the air wus much cooler, put so close that comparatively little com lon was derived from it. The sultriness of the air was not calculated to make sleep tweet., and any one who noticed the number pf people on’ the streets or sitting by the ppen windows fanning, might have known that beds were uncomfortably hot without Vryiug the experiment. A MARVELOUS ESCAPE. 1 Little Girl Falla 10 Foet and Lights on Her Head Her Injuries Not Fatal. Mr. Henry Thorn’* little 4-year old daugli > r. Mamie. sufi'ered a painful and dangerous tvideut about 1 o’clock yesterday that, same near proving fatal.

A SERIOUS COLLISION. A.Fire Engine and a Street Car Col lide and Two People Hurt. A serious accident occurred at Abereorn and Congress street lane a few minutes be fore 7 o’clock yesterday morning. An alarm of firo had been sent in from Aberdbm and Broughton streets, and the fire department was answering it. Terrence Bennett was driving Engine No. 1 up Congress street lane. Just before he reached Abereorn street an ojien street car going out Abereorn street started aci-cms the lanei Bennett en deavored to pull up his horses, but thev were going at such speed that he could not. stop them. They dashed into the middle of the car and smashed things up pretty badly. Capt. Thoniarf. Screven was a passenger in the car. Trie pole stmek hiin in the head and inflicted a serious, but not danger ous, scalp wound. Conductor James Lewis was knocked down, and it was feared that lie had sus tained dangerous internal injuries. He had gone from the rear platform to the front platform to tell the driver tliat there was a lire somewhere in the neighborhood and to drive slow. In returning through the car the tongue of the engiue struck him on the arm and glancing struck mm in the side. Had he received the blow fiiMn his side he would doubtless have been killed. As soon as possible he was removed to his home on Audei-son street- Capt. Henry M. Smith was the other occupant ot the car’ but he escaped uninjured. the driver of the car was a negro named Robert Dooly. Bennett stated that he was ringing the engine gong, and that Dooly must have heard it in time to have stopped the car. The negro was arrested and taken before the Mayor. A partial examination was held and the case was continued until to-day. The street railroad authorities blame the engine driver for driving at so rapid a rate, and the fire department offi cials throw the blame on the car driver. THE NEW FERTILIZER WORKS. Work to be Begrun July I—The Only Complete Works in the City. The Commercial Fertilizer Company has been fully organized with a capital of $50,000, but that will be doubled in a few' days, and on the first of next month the erection of the buildings will be begun. The company has purchased ten acres fronting on the river and adjoining the Do Leon Fertilizer Works, -west of the Ocean Steam ship wharves. A mill, acid chambers and warehouse, besides the other necessary build ings, will be erected. About two and one half acres altogether will be under roof. The mill will lie fitted with the most com plete machinery, and will have a capacity of 100 to 150 tons of fertilizer a day. These will be the only complete- fertilizer works in Savannah: tliat is. the only works containing all the departments necessary to the business. The others are only mixers, as they buy their rock and their sulphuric acid arid only do the crushing and mixing. The Commercial works will have acid chambers and will make more than enough acid for ufe, so the company will be en abled to earn something by the sale of acid a* well as of superphosphates and fertilizer. The rock will be brought from South Caro lina in barges and loaded in ears on an ele vated railway, which will take it into the mill, thus reducing the cost to a minimum. The erection of the works will be pushed as rapidly a* possible, and the company will begin operations as soon as they are com pleted. DR BRUNER’S REPORT. He Says That Savannah is Safe From Yellow Fever Through Florida. Dr. Bruner, who was sent to Florida by the Savannah Board of Health to see if the quarantine regulations there are projierly enforced, has tiled his report with the Mayor. In it he says that the quarantine regulations are properly carried out, and the precautions taken by the authorities of the ports are sufficient protection to Savan nah. The seeds of yellow fever germinate in from six to ten days, and with the care taken by the quarantine officers it would be impossible for anyone landing on the Florida coast to reach Savannah within that time. The city authorities ac cept the report as satisfactory, and conclude that all is being done that can be done to prevent the spread of the disease beyond where it now exists. Examination at St. Mary’s. The annual examination exorcises of St. Mary’s Home wore largely attcndid yester day afternoon.

THE JASPER MEMORIAL. The Monument to be Ready for Un veiling on Oct. 0 A little green spot in Madison square markes the place where the corner-stone of the monument to Scrgt. Jasper was laid with impressive ceremonies eight years ago. For n time a temporary brick foundation marked the site for the proposed memorial to the heroic soldier of tne Revolution, but that was taken down some time ago to make room for a more solid structure upon which the commemorative stone and life-like image in bronze are to rest. It was expected when the unsightly hrick work was removed that the statue would soon take its place and that another patri otic memento of the love of the people pf Savannah for those who died in the defense of the city would be added to those which already mark its principal promenade. There has been, however, no unnecessary delay on the jiart of the artist and sculptor to whom the work was awarded. Few persons have an idea of the thought, labor and time required to execute models for such a work of art. Mr. Doyle Jias been steadily engaged on the work for sev eral months, and as now all his previous commissions are completed there will be no interruption, and it is expected that the -tatue will be ready for unveiling early this fall, probably oh Oct. 9, the anniver sary of Jasper's death.

Burdette insists that he overheard a woman lecturing her husband as follows on board a train: ’‘Now I’ll tell you why I wouldn’t go into the restaurant and have a cup of coffee with you while we wore wait ing for the t ram. 1 didn’t like the way you asked me. Keep quiet. I have' She floor. Not half an hour before you said to Mr. Puf fer: ‘Come, let’s get a cigar;’ and away you went, holding his’ arm and not giving him a chance to decline. When we met John O’Howdy on our way to luncheon you said: ‘Just in time, John; come take lunch with us.’ And then to-night, when we found the train an hour late, you looked at your watch, turned to me, and said in a questioning way: Would you like a cup of coffee V And I did want it: I was tired and a little hungry, but l would have fainted before I woifld have accepted such an invi tation. And you went away a little bit vexed with me and had your coffee and bread and butter by yourself and didn’t enjoy it very much. In effect you said to me: ‘lf you want a cup of coffee, if you really want it, I will buv it for you.’ You are the best husband in the world, but do as nearly all the best husbands do. Why do you men seem to dole things out to your wives when you fairly throw them to the men you know! Why don’t you invite me heartily as you invite men? Why didn’t you say, ‘Come, let’s get a little coffee and something.’ and take ino right along with you? You wouldn’t say to a man, ‘ Would you like me to go and buy you a cigar?’ Then wily do you always issue your little invitations to treats in that way to me? In deed, indeed, my dear husband, if men would only act toward their wives as heartilv, cordially, frankly as they do to ward file men whom they meet, they would find cheerier companions at home than they could at the club.” “B uchu-Paiba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ncy, bladder and urinary diseases. sl.

Stripping a Railroad. The unusual sight of a railway being stripped of its track and abandoned has been witnessed in Ohio, in the case of the Cincinnati, Columbus and Hocking Valley, locally known as the Grasshopper road. Its twenty-live miles of track, although lying in the heart of one of the richest States in the Union, long ago proved unprofitable, and after lying idle for some time the rails and ties were sold by the owner, a Chicago capitalist, for what they would bring, and have been taken up and carried away. Refused to Pay and was Put Off. . A passenger on a suburban train of the Chicago and Northwestern railway some months ago, not being able to find a seat, refused to pay his fare aud was helped off the train. He brought suit against the company for damages, and the Superior Court in Chicago has decided that while a passenger is entitled to a seat if he pays bis fare yet he cannpt refuse to pay ana still ride on the train, his recourse being to re fuse to ride and sue the company for not providing accommodations, whether he would make anything by so doing, however, the Judge did not declare. They Come High. Railway receiverships come high,although they are a very common luxury. The mas ter in chancery to whom was referred the matter of compensation due the receivers and counsel of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific road, recommends the following al lowances: Thomas E. Tutt and Solon Hum phreys, receivers, each $ 112,500—5225,000; fhe attorney for receivers, assisting the gen eral solicitor, $7,500; anotner attorney, $7,- 500; Farmers’ Loan and Trust company, as trustee, $2,500; a firm of lawyers, $5,500; another firm of lawyers, $8,500. Other so licitors and trustees ware paid an aggre gate of SOO,OOO more. This makes a grand total for receivers and lawyers of $811,500. It is not probable that in any private busi ness such extravagant expenditures would be tolerated, but when a railway gets into the hands of a court it is too often consid ered legitimate picking by the lawyers, and the courts and their officers seldom hint the feelings of the profession by intimating that the charges for legal services are too high. and Florida. The James Brothers, of Atlanta, will be gin the grading on the Georgia, Southern and Florida railroad as soon as they can get ready. Some time between now and July 1 work will be begun. They have the entire contract between Macon and Valdosta, ex cept some seven miles in Houston county, which was let some time ago. Baker & Pittman, of Thomasville, will soon begin getting ready the timbers for the wood work, and the road will be pushed forward rapidly. Thi Valdosta Times says that there are a few thousand dollars of Val dosta's subscription lacking yet, but “it must be raised. ’ That means that It will be raised, and the road will be built as fast as it can be done. The construction com pany has sent out 2,000 circulars to as many millmen throughout the United States, in viting them to come and invest in timber lands along the line of the new road, an 1 they are now beginning to write for fuller details.
