8 CHARLES BLUN CAUGHT. A GEORGIA FUGITIVE ARRESTED IN NEW YORK. The Ex-Secretary of the Progress Social and Literary Club Nabbed by Inspector Byrnes on an Executive Warrant and Turned Over to Detective Wetherhorn —To Be Brought Back to Savannah and Sentenced for a Misdemeanor. Charles S. Blun, who was convicted in the Superior Court at the October term of keep ing a gambling house, and who jumped his bond and fied, pending sentence, was ar rested in New York yesterday by Inspector Bvmes on a requisition granted by Gov. Hill, and will be brought back here on the Steamship City of Savannah which leaves New York to-day. Blun was Secretary of the Progress Social and Literary Club, and was charged with keeping a gambling room. He was indicted by the grand jury and was tried and con victed of a misdemeanor. Pending sentence bv the court he skipped and went to New York, where he has been most of the time since. His bond was forfeited and his bondsmen had to account for his failure to appear when the time came for him to be sentenced. The extreme penalty for keeping a gamb ling house is SI,OOO fine, imprisonment not to exceed six months, or twelve months on the chain-gang. Blun did not relish the idea of submitting to either, and he left his bondsmen to look out tor themselves. His •whereabouts in New York were pretty well known, and recently Gov. Gor don issued a requisition on Gov. Hill for his arrest and delivery to the Georgia authorities. Gov. Hill' at first declined to issue an executive warrant on the ground that in misdemeanor cases it is an unusual proceeding. He asked for proof of Blun's conviction, which was furnished by Solicitor General dußignon, and finally it was issued. Detective Wetherhorn went to New York last week, ami in a short time had his man under shadow. He was arrested yesterday and turned over by Inspector Byrnes to De tective Wetherhorn, who -will leave New York this afternoon unless a hearing is de manded there. UNDER A PUSHER. ABdrew B. Pacetti Crushed to Death by a Locomotive. A fatal accident occurred at the Gwinnett street crossing of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway at 0:30 o’clock yesterday morning. Andrew B. Pacetti had driven his cows to pasture and was returning home, walking on the track of the railroad. A freight train pulled in and Pacetti stepped to the next track to allow it to pass. The pusher was on the track to which tie moved, and he was standing a sh< irt distance behind it. When the freight had left the switches clear the pusher started to back down, but Pacetti did not see or hear it- He was struck and knocked down, falling with his body across the rail and two wheels ran over and crushed him. The men about the yard called to Engineer W. D. Austin that there was a man under his engine and he put on his brakes promptly, but Pacetti was dead before the engine stopped. Coroner Dixon was notified, and he re moved the body to Pacetti’s late residence on Gaston and Price streets and sum moned a jury for the inquest. The testi mony given at the investigation was con flicting in its nature. Five railroad men were examined, and they testified that some of them, seeing Pacetti’s danger, called to him to jump, but when he saw the pusher so nearly upon him he became confused, and stood in his tracks until he was knocked down. They, and engineer Austin, swore that the bell ’of the locomo tive was rung before the engine started and while it was moving, but other witnesses who were examined testified that no bell was rung. The evidence of the latter seemed to have had more weight with the jury, for its verdict was that Pacetti’s death was the result of carelessness on the part of the engineer. Pacetti was a white man 58 years old. He leaves a widow and six children. THE WRECK AT RANTtAvLES. The Track Cleared and Trains Again Running on Time. The blockade on the Charleston and Sa vannah railway, caused by the wreck four miles south of Rantowles Station, of the north bound express, which left Savannah at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening, was cleared away yesterday. The accident, as stated in yesterday’s Morning News, was caused by a broken axle under tho tender. The engine punt'd loose from the train and dragged along the track for a distance of a quarter of a mile. There were four coaches in the train, all of which, without being un coupled from each other, were derailed and turned completely over off the track. The engineer stuck to his post, but the fireman jumped from the engine and narrowly escaped being kill 'd by the over turned mail car. Mr. Gahagan, route agent, and his assistant, Murray, were both imprisoned in their car, but were liberated, having received a few slight bruises. None of the passengers were injured. As soon as the news of tbe accident was received in Charleston a i-elief train was sent out and the passengers were transferred. A track was built Ri-ound the wreck until the main track could be cleaned. Trains came through on time yesterday. NOTES FROM THE COURT3. The Work of the Day in the Superior and City Courts.

The Association's Greatest Comedy Success A Fine Audience. “Pink Dominoes'’ is undoubtedly the Fords greatest comedy success. It was played last night before one of the finest audiences that the association has ever had. It was a success last year, but nothing com pared with last night. ‘‘Uncle Joskin Tubbs'” experience, a night out in London, is about all there is in the play. Larry Doyle got ou“ of Uncle Joskin one" of the funniest and most laugh able conceptions possible to be pro duoed. His characterization of the sly old Londoner surpassed all of his former efforts. His adventures with the pretty servant girl,‘'Rebecca,*'at the bal masque, in the second act. provoked shouts of laughter, and his scene after the supper with his nephew, “Henry,’' formed n most ludicrous situation. Almost the entire in terest in the piece centres around “Uncle Joskin," and the part could hardly have been better played. Lawrence Hanley as “Charles Graythom," and Thomas F. McCabe as "Sir Percy \Vag stalf,” whose wives get mixed. Joseph F. Doyle as “Henry,” William Fleming as “Brisket” the übiquitous head waiter, with Miss Baker as “Lady Wagstaff,” Miss Maedcr as “Mrs. Graythom.” Miss Farrer as “Mi-8. Tub!and" Miss White as “Re becca,” were the support. Mr. Hanley and Mr. McCabe, in their con ception of the simple and easily duped husbands, were accorded generous applause. Mr. Joe Doyle’s first ex|ierience out, his unexpected meeting with his “Uncle Joskin” at the bal masque, and. his experience with his two uunts, kept the audience continually in laughter. Mr. Fleming's conception of the haughty head waiter was excellent. Miss Clara Baker ns ‘Truly Wagstaff,” was the favorite, and she was repeatedly applauded. Miss Whitf's “Rebecca” was a capital conception, and by song and dance specialties won for herself an encore and a beautiful bouquet of flowers from an admir ing Ford. Miss Maeder and Miss Farrer had not so much to do, but their parts were well sustained. The Fords have never yet given a better comedy performance than they gave last night. The play will be repeated this after noon and to -nignt. The matinee perform ance will begin at 8 o’clock. WHITE-WINGED RACERS. Preparations for the Fourth of July Regatta at Thunderbolt. At a meeting of the stewards of the Sa vannah Yacht Club, held at the office of Mr. M. A. Cohen yesterday, the details of the Fourth of July regatta were mapped out. Messrs. Wallace Cummiilg, W. G. Morrell, and John S. Schley were appointed a committee in charge of the arrangements. Prizes will be awarded as follows: J.Y) to first class, SSO to third, $25 to fourth, and $25 to fifth. The race will be sailed from Thunderbolt over the usual course, instead of from Montgomery, and the steamer Pope Catlin has been chartered to accompany the boats in the race. The South Carolina Yacht Club of Charleston has been invited to lie present, and doubt less some of the boats of that club will be entered. The stewards decided that a mem ber of the club would not be required in each bunt, so outsiders who may lie invited will sail with their own crews alone and no entrance fee will be required. TO BE BURIED AT HOME. T. n. Gregory’s Remains Taken to Gra bamville, S. C., by His Relatives. The body of Mr. T. H. Gregory, who was killed at the Ogeeohee bridge on the Savan nah, Florida and Western railrway Tuesday afternoon, was brought to the city yester day morning. A negro who was on top of the tram at the time Mr. Gregory was killed stated that he stooped down when the train passed under the bridge, but that he raised up too soon and one of the rafters struck him in the head, knocking him from the train. He fell mto Ogeecheo river where his body was found. His watch stopped at 5:45 p. m. The body was taken to Graham ville, S. C-, where his mother resides, yes terday morning. It was accompanied by Mr. J. F. Claghorn, his brother-in-law, his sister, Mrs. Alice Heyward, and his niece, Miss Meta H. Heyward. RIVER AND HARBOR NEWS.

Torpedo on a Car Track. The placing of torpedoes and cartridges on street car trades has, within the past few months, been the cause of several quite serious accidents. Yesterday some mis chievous person placed a torpedo on the West Broad street track at the Anderson street and Ogeechee road curve, and an outgoing car passed over it.

Memphis Rounds up the Carolinians to . the Tune of 10 to 2. Meyithis, Tew., June 22.—About 700 people gathered this afternoon to witness the first game of the series to be played here between Memphis and Charleston. Neither club scored during the first three innings, but in the fourth inning the locals commenced bitting Huneler and knocked out five runs which t.hey followed up in the next liming with six more. The visitors were unable to retaliate and the gome proved an easy victory for Memphis. Smith and Crottv were the battery for Memphis and Hungler and Hines for Charleston. The score by innings was: Memphis 00056302 3—19 Charleston.. 00000 1 0 l 0— 2 New Orleans Doubles Birmingham. New Orleans, June 22.—Birmingham opened here on wet grounds to-day. New Orleans, outside of Klusman, played a fine fielding game and batted hard enough at critical times to win. Campau’s hitting and base mulling, a three-bagger by Geiss, which brought two men in, and Powell’s magnificent fielding in the pitcher’s position, were features. Birmingham made a re spectable showing outside of Keut, but could not hit the ball often enough. Diestel’s fly catches, Fuller’s base running and Hayes’ short stop work were worth special mention. Dugan, the new second baseman for the visitors, was so fresh that ho was guyed constantly, but he is a ball player. E mpire Schroeder was not satis factory.

POINTS ABOUT TERRAPIN. Some Facts Presented by Dr. Oemler for the Consideration of the Georgia Legislature Wilmington Island, June 30. — Editor Morning News: Being peculiarly favor ably located to note the rapid decrease of the number of terrapin in our waters, I have long been impressed with the necessity of preventing their total cxtJnctipn tty legal protection. For some 1 after the war their heads could lie frequently counted by the dozen above the water during the laying season. Coming ashore at high tide to de posit their eggs I have known them to ‘‘crawl” under my house. Now a terrapin nest on this island would bo aliout as rare a find as that of the proverbial mare. For the past four years I have not seen terrapin enough at any one time, in or out of the water, to make a stew for a small family. Those you mention as being taken to market from Savannah to the value of SIO,OOO to 815,000 are not captured in Georgia, hut in South Carolina; it no longer pays the fisher men to draw their seines m GeoYgia waters, as practically they are here already extinct. Southern terrapin “counts,” as full-grown females measuring six inches on the lower shell, are sometimes, when in good con dition, worth from $9 to $lB per dozen, Delaware terrapin reaching as high as $36. Of course the enormous outrage against political economy, in the senseless destruc tion of so valuable an animal, and the in cidental decrease of food supply, will be the chief consideration with our legislators, but there is another crying shame m connection with the unseasonable capture you mention. The terrapin is an aquatic animal mid when housed, or penned, during spring or summer (when a great many die), out of their natural elements, who can tell the amount of agony they endure! Your humane and sympathetic readers may form an idea when I state that, calling upon one of the fish dealers during the winter session of the Legislature to ask his approval of a bill I had drawn (and afterwanis sent to the Sujierintendeiit of Fisheries) he informed me he had only the day before made a purchase of many dozen terrapin from which he had to wash the maggots liefore he could ship them. Flies had deposited their eggs on sores caused by sand getting into the recesses of the siieil into which the animal withdraws its legs. The wife of one of the fishermen told me when rats get into a pen the first part attacked are the eyes, she having been aa eye-witness to tne fact. Permit me to say, you are not quite just to the general intelligence of the dealers. With a single exception, I have yet to meet the individual, pecuniarily interested in ter rapin, be ho dealer or fisherman, who does not cordially approve the bill I have drawn. But even if fishermen and dealers were less wise and wanted to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, 1 should still contend it to be the duty of our legislators to protect the future into rest of the public by preserving so valuable an animal and to abate so cry ing n shame to humanity. About, a fortnight ago the Superintendent of Fisheries paid me a visit here, when lie renewed his promise to exert all the influ ence he could bring to bear for the passage of the hill. As soon as I'learn of Cant. Gordon’s re turn from New York I will visit the city for the purpose of bringing about, if possi ble. a conference between parties interested and our delegation to the Legislature. A. Oemler.

Da-shes Hero and There by the News Reporters Yesterday’s Happenings Told in Brief Paragraphs- Pickings at Police Headquarters. The rain yesterday was a welcome relief after the hot and dusty weather of the past two weeks. The Signal Bureau reports cooler weather coming. Supt. Baker has published a general invi tation to the public to attend the gradua tion exercises of the public schools at Hunter Hall to-morrow. The directors of the .Savannah and Tvhee railroad will go to the Island this morning. The trip wilf lie made the whole distance from tiie Savannah, Florida and Western railway depot to the Ocean House by rail. The Grocery Clerks will play the Ama teurs at Base Ball Park this afternoon. About every class of business has taken a hand at base ball except the grocerv clerks, and they have finally taken up the bat. The Jacksonville express which left the city at 7:58 p. m., on Tuesday evening ran over an unknown negro aliout forty miles South of Savannah. The train was late and was running fast to make up lost time when it struck the body of a man who was lying on the track. The company sent out a comn and hod him buried. J. B. Grady (colored! was arrested last night for drunkenness and disorderly con duct, but he was not so drunk that he went a willing victim to the slaughter. He re sisted Officer Spann to the best of his ability, and though he did not strike t.heofficer hard enough to hurt him, he tore his uniform in a number of places. The officer finally got the upper hand, however, and locked Grady up. There were two other arrests for dis orderly conduct. Orange Blossoms in Florida. Mr. John R. Fish, formerly of Savannah, and Mias Carrie Smith were married at the residence of the bride’s father, Dr. J. F. Smith, Sanford, Fia. at 8 a. m. Wednes day, June 22. Mine Smith is one of the most popular belles of Sanford, and is high ly esteemed by all. Mr. Fish occupies the position of rate clerk in the General Freight Agent’s office of the South Florida railroad, where he has, during his short stay, won the respect and good will of all the heads of the various departments. The cere mony was performed by Rev. J. M. Cross, pastor of the Baptist church. Many of the friends of the bride and groom were present, and tho presents were numerous and valu able; among them were a handsome pair of Venetian wood and rattan rockers and a dinner set of of silverware from the groom's fellow employee. The newly married couple left for a short pleasure trip to St. Augus tine and Pablo Beach. He Had to Wait. From the Detroit Free Press. On a Michigan Central train the other day as the “butcher” came into the car with a basket of oranges an old man, whose wife sat beside him. was very anxious to buy half a dozen, but she waved the boy on with: “He can’t have ’em. Ha never eats one without the juice runs down on his shirt bo.som.” “Shoo! but I want two or three, Hanner,” he protested. “You behave yourself? You want to get cramps and raise a great row, don’t you r The boy soon returned with boxed figs, and the old man beckoned to him and began to lick his chops. “Pass right on!’’ said the woman to the boy. “He hain't eat a fig for thirty years, and I guess'he can go thirty more." The Doy passed on and returned with pea nuts. The old man was ready for him, but the wife protested: “He can’t oat ’em. It’s been ten years since he had a tdoth in his head, and he’d have to swallow ’em whole. No, Reuben, you let peanuts alone.” Twenty minutes later the boy was back with candy packages in which there were prizes, and the old man exclaimed: “I’ll hev one o’ them or—bust!” “Then you'll bust,” she replied as she mo tioned the boy to pass on. “It’s agin the Lord and the law to take chances, and you wouldn’t get nothing nohap.” “But I’m going to buy sunthin’, ner.” “Well, you wait. You can’t have ice cream or lemonade, and if he comes with popcorn or buttermilk don’t you dare to raise a fuss. Just you wait. We’ll be in Detroit at 6 o’clock, and then if there hap hens to be n grocery handy by, you can buy six herrings for sc.' Herrings is something tostand by you. Reuben, and the heads and tails will keep moths away and are good for warts. We’re got too old for gewgaws, Reuben. What we want is the wuth of our money.” Another Consumption Cure. From the P.iris News. Considerable sensation has been created in medical circles in Vienna by the discovery of a supposed cure for consumption and other tubercular affections of the lungs or other parts of the body. The discoverer is Dr. Kolischer, a young operator in the clin ical department of Prof. Albert. Dr. Kol ischer, starting on the assumption that tu berculosis occasionally heals naturally, owing to the tuberrulos becoming calcined, hit upon the idea of artificial calcination by means of hypodermic injections of a com pound described as “calcium phosphoricum” mto the limbs of persons affected with local tuberculosis. He made a number of exper iments with a view to testing his discovery, and in every case the experiments turned out successful. At the last meeting; of the Vienna Society of Physicians Dr. Kolischer read a paper on the result of his experi ments and introduced to the meeting sev eral persons who had been cured by his method.

Until three weeks ago, says the New York Sun, Millionaire Jay Gould has not had the luxury of having a private railway car as his own individual property. Heretofore he had used the old Union Pacific car Convoy, the property of the railway com pany, and reserved for the use of the presi dent and directors, but as a matter or fact used almost exclusively by Mr. Gould in his long flying leaps from one end of the conti nent to the other. But the Convoy has been assigned to a back seat now, and in its place has come fresh from the Pullman shops and resplend ent in all the glory of polished woods and glittering mirrors,’ the beautiful car Ata lanta, named for Mr. Gould’s fleet-footed yacht, and, like the yacht, Mr. Gould’s private property. The Atalanta was turned out of the Pullman shops in Chicago three weeks ago and brought to the Pensylvania railway station in Jersey City, where it now stands. Mr. Gould has not yet seen his new purchase. It was completed just after he set out on his recent yacht voyage, and its “owner has not yet had opportunity to in spect it. The Atalanta is remarkable in that it is by half a foot the longest car ever turned out of the Pullman shops. It is 70 feet long and weighs 78.000 pounds. The average weight of the Pullman cars is 75,000 pounds. The Atalanta rests on six-wheel trucks, the wheels being of paper and 42 inches in diameter. It was Mr. Gould’s direction that special pains should be taken to give the car strength and steadiness of motion, and everything to this end that modem ingenuity has devised was turned to account in its construction. The interior appointments of the Atalanta are remarkable tor their massive richness and total freedom from garish display. In one end of the car is the observation room. This is an apartment 11 feet 6 inches in length by 9 feet in width. It is furnished with two easy chairs and a sofa upholstered in bronze silk plush, and is covered by a thick velvet carpet. On the sides are racks for wTaps, and over the sofa an upper berth is tucked away so deeply into the bulkhead as to be hardly noticeab’le, but it can be let down and made into a comfort able bed. The door out of the observation room opens into a private bedroom, which in turn opens bv double sliding doors into a second private bedroom. Both these rooms are furnished with folding beds and have private toilet rooms. When the sliding doors are thrown open the room makes a handsome parlor 18 feet in length by 7in width. It is finished in sat in wood and is upholstered in blue silk plush. The observation room is furnished in mahogany. Back of the private bed rooms comes the dining room finished in heavily carved oak, and upholstered, like the observation room, in br'onzc silk plush. The dining room is 14 feet long by 9 m width.
