8 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. THE FORDS' TRIPLE BILL.

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 ered that. Judging from this result, how ever, tho loss must have been grouter aud perhaps caused their failure. No public statement Ims been inode by tho Arm as yet.

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. MR. CUBBEDGE’S PROMOTION. An Old Printor Receives tho Reward of Merit. Mr. B. J.
