A RESTING ITACK FOI’ND.
THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS SECURE
A HABITATION.
A Splendid Property to bo Converted
Into Headquarters for tho Order- -
Modern Improvements to bo Added
to Make it Complete An Excellent
Location and a Commodious Building:
Acquired.
('apt R. F. Harmon’s fa op beamed with
satisfaction yesterday while ho tefld 1 )f 11 1 * *
zuceesss attending his efforts regarding tho
new hall for the Knights of Pythias. Ino
property on the ctruer of Barnard and
York str<>et,s has been purchased by four
lodges, and will bo remodeled and made over
to suit their purposes. Mr. Harmon started
this project some two months ago, and with
the assistance of other prominent members
of the order has brought it to a
successful issue. A number of different prop
erties were iuspeeted by thorn, but nothing
satisfactory, as regarded price, locution, etc.,
was reached till this site was seen. Tho
property is on the southeast corner of the
Telfair place, diagonally across tho square
from the Odd Fellows Hall. It was owned
by Mrs. George IV. Adams, and is eligibly
located for the purpose intended. The lot
has a frontage of 00 feet on York street and
00 on Barnard. A large four story stone
resilience is now on the lot, having a 40-foot
frontage on York and is 37 feet in depth on
Barnard ircet. It is now occupied as a
boarding house by Mrs. Elkins.
The general character of tho changes and
Improvements is as follows: The first or
parlor floor of the building will hr lowered
to the level of the sidewalk and arranged
for a store. This will give a lino floor space
with an eighteen or twenty foot coiling. At
tile rear of the building on Barnard -an‘t
two nm-storv stores will lie built on tho
vacant part of tho lot anil fronting on that
Street At the eastern side of tho York
Street frontage an addition 20x37, three
stories, will tie made to tho house. When
the alterations contemplated are all
completed the knights will have one of the
jnost commodious balls in tho South, and a
valuable piece of property The lower
portion of the Building will be used for
stores; the second and third wi 11 each con
tain a large hall, 37x40. The entrnnee will
be on York street, through the new addi
tion, which will contain the ante-rooms,
committee anjl reception rooms, etc. Alto
gether, when finished, it will be very con
venient ami comfortable.
Forest City No. 1, Myrtle No. 6, Excel
sior No. 8, and Calanthe No. 28, are the
lodges that united in the purchase. The
price paid was $12,000, and some $3,000 to
$4,000 move will Ik* expended in repairs anil
alterations. The plan is to issue bonds, and
when these are all paid off the lodges will
own the property, which, with its improve
jnents, should li worth quite an advance on
its cost in a few years,
Tiie Finance and Purchasing Committee
consisted of R. F. Harmon, Charles A. Cox,
James Naylor, Jr., Seliwartzbaum and
James T. Wells. The Building Committee
consists of It. F. Hanuon, Edward Grady,
Charles A. Cox, \V. A. Walker and Km!
Einsfeld. As soon as the title is ]ierfcctad
work will be begun on the additions. Mrs.
Elkins'lease lias some time yet to run, there
fore work on the inside of the building can
not lie begun till it expires. When com
menced tile work will be pushed through to
a sjieody completion, and the new quarters
will be occupied by Oct. 1.
Some 350 members are included in these
four lodges and it is thought that in four or
five years the property will entirely tie free
from any debt. The committee say they do
not propose having any burdensome debt
banging over the lodges and therefore they
intend to make their further improvements
as they can lie afforded.
This Order is rapidly advancing in
Georgia. The Grand Lodge session which
met here in May was a large and well
attended one and the reports submitted
were of an extremely favorable character.
The Uniform Divisions that were in Havan-
UAh*nt that time attracted a deal of favora
ble comment and the < inter received a fresh
iui)tetus from the publicity given its pro
ceedings then.
TWO DIABOLICAL ASSAULTS.
A Bullet and a Rock Cause Conster
nation in the Jacksonville Train.
As the fast train due hero last night
from Jacksonville was passing Mclntosh
nation, in Liberty .county, some miscreant
fired a pistol or ride bullet into the window
of the passenger coach, which was well
filled with men, women and children. The
Msh was down and the shot went through
the glass, making a clean-cut aperture
and escaping through the op
posite window. When this occurred
Rlr. J. F. Hixmi, of Appling county, Ita.,
was occupying the sent next to the window.
Mid the ball almost grazed his loreliead in
Its flight. Indeed, the tine particles of
class were distinctly felt upon his brow.
The tram was moving slowly at the time,
but no attempt was made to cap
ture tho cold-blooded a-ssuilant. Doubt
less he fled swiftly awny under
cover of tlie darkness. There was
no little, consternation and dismay among
the passengers as they examined in turn the
round bullet hole which had so nearly slain
one of their iiumlier; but after a time, how
ever, tlie excitement subsided and the inci
dent was no longer discussed. But the timid
were destined to sustain another and st ill
greater shook ere reaching their journey's
end.
After crossing tho Groat Ogooohoe river,
tho train hud just passed No. 1 station,
twelve miles from the city, when all were
suddenly electrified by a tremendous crash
and the falling of broken glass upon the
floors. In an instant it became apparent
that another savage effort had been made to
cripple or kill some of tho passengers on
board. This time the missile was
a murderous rock or brick, and,
strange to relate, it struck the
Same window about two inches Inflow the
bullet hole, shat tering the glass t o atoms,
■ud even breaking the blind w hich Imd been
lowered. Again the villain got off, as it
was impossible to discover the author of the
outrage in tho darkness. Mr. llixou spent
last night at the Screven House.

Ulmer isc Copeland Assign.
Messrs. Ulmor & Copeland, doing busi
ness on the corner of Ht. Julian and Jeffer
son streets, fulled yesterday and have made
their creditors an offer of 25c. on the dollar.
They were doing a large wholesale grocery
nd liquor business ana were supposed to be
suite successful. On July s u Are gutted
the store, causing a loss of $l,OOO or $1,500,
but it was supposed that the insurance cov

UNFOUNDED COMPLAINTS.
Charges Against the City Physicians
Prove Untrue.
Tho Sanitary Board received n report at
its meeting a few days ago that Drs. Owen
mid Bovd, tho City Physicians, had estab
lished a rule that inflicted great hardship
upon some of the mothers and babies of the
class that need the City Physicians’care;
that when a sick child was under *5 years of
age, or sninll enough to lie liorne in its
mother’s arms, the physicians, instead of
visiting tlic children required the mothers
to bring them to their offices. It whs
represented that in many eases
the mother lived on the outskirts of the city,
and, being too poor to pay car faro, they
were compelled to walk from their homes to
tho doctor’s ottic" and return, and frequently
neither of the physicians were in and the
mother and child had to wait for half a day
in the office. Mayor Lester had Drs.
Owen and Boyd appear before him yes
terday morning, and from them lie learned
that, they had established no such rule.
They do have children brought, to the office
when they are not. too sick and tho mother
can bring them conveniently, but they ul
ways attend the bedside of children w ho are
too unwell to bo brought out. Mayor Loi
ter said that the whole difficulty was that
tho physicians had too much to do.

Why Not Stop at Bolton Stroot.
Editor Morning .Vni's: Permit me to ask
through your columns why the Tyhee rail

They back down to Bolton street, and if
they would stop there they would let passen

LUCK AGAINST CHARLESTON.
Pitcher Smith Becomes 111 at a Critical
Point in the Game.
Charleston, S. C., July 26.—Charleston
met with an unexpected defeat thus after
noon, the result more of mishap than of bad
playing. The locals outbatted and out
fielded the visitors, and were yet defeated.
Smith was put in to pitch and bid fair to
win the game. In the fourth inning, how
ever, he was taken suddenly ill and had to
retire. Nashville would -not con
sent to Hungler being substituted
in his place and Smith was
forced to toss the ball for another inning,
which resulted in Nashville getting a run.
By this time it was apparent that ho could
scarcely stand still. Nashville refused to let
him retire, but consented to his going out to
right field and sending in Childs to umpire,
Hungler being put in the box. By this
time the locals were all broke up and Nash
ville scoring four runs in this inning won
the game, the locals not being ablo to re
cover themselves. Tho following is the
score:
