The friend* of both Col. Olmstead and
Treasurer Rus>eil have bee.i active fur
weeks campaigning fcr their favorites, and
yesterday they redoubled tbeir efforts.
It was the sole topic of talk on
the streets, and me 1 greeted each other with
the remark: "Well, who’s going to be
elected, Russell or Olmstead?” When a
Russell man was asked this question his
reply was always "Russell,” and when the
O. instead men were asked it was always
•‘Olmstead." Groups stood on the street
corners discussing the issue, and even tno
women seem to nave caught the political
fever. Several of them were heard talking
on Broughton street yesterday afternoon
about the prospects of the two candidates.

p. J. o’oonnor’s speech.
The crowd then called for p. J. O’Connor,
Eq., and ju.t as he was about to re-pond
the electric lights in the ball suddenly went
cut, and several minutes elapsed before they
started up again. Calls for “O’Connor”
were again taken up by the crowd as so n
as the lights were turned on, and the gentle
man arose and spoke about fifteen minutes
"It is almost unnecessary for me,” he said,
“to state that I feel a deep interest in this
issue. On the eve of this great political
battle I have not the slightest doubt that
victory will perch upon our banner if each
and every one wifi do bis duty to-morrow.
I would rather be defeated under the ban
ner of CoL Olmstead than go to victory
under that of Russell. The people did not
seem to understand the real issues of the
campaign, but they have found them out
within the last few days, and are rallying
to the support of CoL Olmstead.
WENT FOR MR. RUSSELL
“It has always been said that Russ-ll did
great services for the Democratic party in
days gone by, and for that reason he and
all his relatives should be kept in office for
the balance of their lives. Strange to say,
no one has ever been able to find out what
these services were.”
Mr. O’Connor then went into a general
review of Mr. Ru-seil's political career.
“Seme people,” continued the speaker,
“have made the remark that Russell cannot
lie beaten, but 1 have seen him beaten
twice already when he went before tho
people, and I feel satisfied that he will be
beaten to-morrow for the third time.”
“Russell, I am told,” said the speaker, “it
depending on the eelored vote for his *uc
ce-s, but I think ha is mistaken." A 00l xed
man in tee end of the ball answered quickly,
“He’ll get fo- led this time,’' which was
| greeted with loud app ause.
Mr. O’Connor closed with ahigh tribute to
! Col. Oimstf ad’s personal ehara- ter and pub
lic worth, and appealed to all friends of that
! gentleman to be at the polls bright and
early and work with increasing energy. To
this a colored man said, “We’ll be dere
suoh.”
SENATOR Ht7BIGNOM’S APPEAL
Hon. F. G. Jußignon was called upon,
and as be arose the applause was deafening.
He thanked the audience tor its kindness,
but asked to he excused from making a
speech, as ha had been suffer! g very much
with h.s throat for the past two days “In
fact," said Mr. dußignon, “I should not be
out to-night, but I could not forego the
pleasure of looking in upon this meeting,
and I will net forego the pleasure of going
to the polls to-morrow and casting my bal
lot for that model citizen aud Christian gen
tleman. Col. Olmstead. I hope to-raorrow’s
sun will go down on a great and glorious
victory."
W. G. Charlton. Esq., made a vigorous
speech. “To-morrow’s contest, he sa.d,
involves a higher isue than the mere elec
sion of Col Olmstead. It involves a
ques ion of prluoipl , and Col. Olmstead
represents that principle.”
Judge A.lams was called for. "The de
mands upon my physical strength.” said he,
"for the past two weeks have bean such as
to incapacitate me from making a speech,
and I b gto be ex used from the effort.
While I feel that I have not strength
enough to talk I will have strength
enrugb left to go to the polls at
7 o’clock to-morrow morning and remain
there all day, work bard, and hope to have
the opportunity to use ray voice to swell
the cb xus cf victory which will announce
the election of Col Olmstead.”
8. fl. ADAMS’ SPEECH.
8. B. Adams, E-q., made a short speech,
which was frequently interrupted by ap
plause. “I have no personal feeling,” said
he, "against the present treasurer of
Chatham county, but I have some
personal feeling for Savannah. I thiuk
every man ought to take sides on this ques
tion. 1 have more respect for an out-and
out Russell man than fur one on the fence.
I, myself, cannot help taking sides on all
issues. Sometimes I may unwittingly make
mistakes, but I always do what I believe to
be right.
"1 have proven by affidavits,” said Mr.
Adims, “thac Waring Russell once
said that he carried the
mayor and aldermen of Savannah
around in his vest pocket, but he novor car
ried me there, for I never gave him the
opportunity. Look at his record as jailer,
and the shameful maimer iu which he
treated the < olorod people. He had people
of that race incarcerated without warrant
or charge simply because they did not do his
bidding. I made up my mind at that time
to always oppose him for any office he
might seek on aocount of his op
pression of these people. There is
no one sounder on the prii ciples which are
dear to the southern heart thau I, and as a
southern man I have always demanded
that the oolored people be treated kindly
and justly.
"Col. Olmstead represents the honesty and
purity of the city, but tne same cannot tie
said of his opponent.'’ Mr. Adams
appealed to every one present
to be at the court house to-day
and not only vote, but use their influe.ice
as well to eleot a man who was wor.hv of
the office, and a man at whose character no
one dare poiut bo finger of scorn. He close!
with a high tribute to CoL Olmstead.
M. A. O’Byrne, Esq., was called upon.
He appealed to every one to be at the court
bouse at 7 o’clock and take
cha ge of the polls and vote early,
and he felt sure that the other side would
show the white flag.
COL. OLMSTE.VD’a POSITION.
Calls came from all parts of the house for
CoL Olmstead, and in response ho stepped
up to the stage. His appearance was the
signal for wild applause, which lasted threw
or four minutes. Coi. Olmuead
said that twenty-six or twenty
seven years ago he had the
honor of leading away from Savannah
1,000 of as brave men as we e ever in the
city, and as he looked up >n their facet ho
felt a sensation of elation that he could
never fully describe. “Once more,’’ said ho,
“I have been chossu as a leader, and as I
look into your faces to-nigbt I feel that
same sensation, and callous would I lie if I
did not. If you all stand by mo to-morrow
as you have done for the past- few weeks..
1 feel satisfied that our cause will be vie.
torlous.”
THE COLORED MET HEARD.
R. N. Rutledge, a o derad supporter of
Col. Olmstead, addressed the meeting, and
his remarks were grew ed with applause.
“The colored people of Savannah,” said
Rutledge, “do not propose tobeuiedas
tools nnv longer, and will prove it to-mor
row by voting for Col. Olmstead. When
the angel of pestilence dipped his finger in
the bowl of affliction and sprinkled our city
be was with us, not for one class, but for
all, and we have not forgotten it. Col.
Olmstead is a Christian gentleman, and be
will get the support of the better class of
colored jieople, and I hope by to-morrow
night that Russell will be able to read the
handwriting on the wall.”
Rutledge quoted a paragraph from Shake
spear* whicn caused much merriment, and
his remark, “Col Russell, vou have been
weighed and found wanting,” brought down
the house.
Joseph Williams (colored) also spoke at
some length. He said that the better class of
colored people will support Col Olmstead
to a man.
Williams was followed by 8. A. Wilsm,
who handled the county treasurer with un
gloved hands. He said, he always fought
Mr. Russell, because his influence, instead of
being beneficial, had proven a detriment to
the colored race. The meeting closed with
cheers for Col. Olmstead.

BABNEY MAGUIRE KILLED.
Th* Little Fallow Vests Hta Death
- While Elding on a Saggars Transfer
Wagon.
Bernard Maguire was fatally injured by
being run over by one of Feeloy’s heavy
baggage transfer wagon* last night Bar
ney, as th* little fallow was known, was of
fice boy in the purchasing agent’s
office at the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad. Last night
after leaving th* office be and aoompatu>n
about the same age, Aleck McKay, who Is
employed in the auditor’s office, went down
to he depot to see the train come in. A* it
was a long ride to their home* on Indian
street they were on tbs lookout for a bus or
wagon on wbica they could get a ride down
town. They got into one of Feeley’s transfer
wagons after the train came in, and gave
the driver a cigar to lot them ride. There
was only one trunk in the wagon, and
Barney insisted o i riding on it. It was a
fatal pleasuref ir him. As the wagon cams
down Bull street and turned the corner
of Congress at Euiler’s pharmacy, the
left wheel went down Into the sink or iD
oliue in tne asphalt pavement which drams
the street into the water trap at the corner.
This caused the trunk to careen, and Barney
fell over into the street and u der the
wagon. The heavy wheel of the wagon
passed over his body, mortally injuring
him. The boy screamed with pain, attract
ing the attent.on of passers-by. He was
taken up and can led Into Butler’s pharmacy,
where imued.ate attention was given him.
It was evident that the lad’s injuries were
serious. Mr. Butler did what he could for
hitn nnd physicians were called at once.
8 rno young men ran down to Dr. Hum
mel’s office end called him. and Dr. Wege
fartii was telephoned for. Both physicians
came immediately and did all (hat was
possible for the injured boy.
The boy’s fa-i.ily was notified and hi*
mother aud older brother, J. E. Maguire,
soon a rived. Quite a crowd collected
around the place, and It was found neces
sary to cloee the doors. The little sufferer
lay on a mattress, moaning painfully, with
hi face ashy white.
The polioe am b dance was telephoned for.
but was very slow in arriving. When it
arrived the boy was placed in it and con
veyed to his home, at No. 39 Indian street.
He died shortly after reaching home.
Father MaeMahon of HL Patrick’s church
had been notified of the Jaccident and was
at the house waiting the arrival of the boy.
He anointed him just before death.
Alfred Walton, the colored driver of the
transfer, was arrested immediately
after the accident by Officer Neid
linger, and was lodged in the
barracks. The driver told the officer
that tne boy was riding on the trunk in the
wagon and fell out at the street corner. At
the barrncks he said that the boys were
stealing a ride, as it was against the rule*
for the drivers to allow any one to ride with
them. The driver was afraid of the conse
quences.
Barney Maguire was 14 years old, and is
said by those who know him to have been a
bright and lovable boy.
'Hie funeral will take place from the homo
at 3 o’clock this afternoon.

A COLORED MAN TORN U 1 FRAG
MENTS BY A TRAIN.
Horrible Death of a Music Teacher on
the Central Railroad -His Body Cut
in Shreds and Scattered Along the
Croeetiea for Over e Mile—A Headless
end Armleae Trunk First Found.
The most sicken tag accident that hen
probably *ver occurred in Chatham county
occurred on the Central railroad some time
between 8 o’clock Monday afternoon and 3
o’clock yesterday morning.
A colored man was torn literally into
fragment*, his body being divided into fifty
seven piece* and scattered along the tie* for
more then a mile.
The man i* supposed to have been a col
ored music teacher named Gray, of Savan
nah. He had been out to Wood villa Mon
day, and left there for Savannah about 3
o’clock Monday, promising to return at
night to teach a band. That was the last
seen of Gray alive.
About 3 o’clock yesterday morning En
gineer Power* Elkin, of a puffier, di*c>v
ered the headless and armle-s trunk of a man
on the track near the three-mile post. He
did not disturb it, but on his return reported
the matter to the railroad authorities.
Coroner Dixon was notified and went to
the scene to investigate the case.
The first portion of the man was found at
the two-mile post, where the right hard
was picked up. Twenty feet further on
was the head, as neatly severed as if it had
been done with a knife. By the head was
the dead man’s hat arid vest. Fr >m there,
for a quarter of a mile on, small piece* of
the body were picked np. Near the three
mile poet, wedged in a switch frog, was the
trunk, with nearly all the organs torn out.
A littlo distance from the body lay the
heat t and lungs, aud jnst beyond these the
left leg from the thigh to the knee.
Proceeding a short distance further Cor
oner Dixon found the remains
of the left leg and foot, aud
nearly the right leg entire.
Beyond that was the right arm, without
the hand, lying on the right side of the
track, and almost opposite on the left side
of the track was the left arm and hand.
The (vosstles along which the unfortunate
man’s body had been dragged were stained
with blood, and the black streak could be
distinctly teen for over a mile.
Coroner Dixon said it was the most re
volting and at tho same time most mysteri
ous case that had come under his notice
sinoe he has been ooroner. He can’t under
stand how the man could be
badly torn up, aud th* only theory he a i
vances is that Gray must have either fallen
off the night passenger train or attempted
to jump off and fell under the trucks. An
inquest was postponed until some further
information of the accident can be ob
tained.

W. Mcßride, Esq., with Badatn’s Microbe
Killer Cos., Nashville, Tenn.:
Dear Sir — Yours 12th received; truly
glad to hear from you, and the wonderful
success you are having with your Microbe
Killer. It is indeed a most wonderful medi
cine. It has not cured me, but it has cured
my wife, and has kept me alive for one
year exactly. I have taken it regularly
since June last, and would not be without
it. Mrs. J. G. M. Buffalo of this place has
bean confined to her bed for years, and,
after taking a few doses of Microbe she has
got out of bed, where they thought she
would die daily. Now she is able to sweep
off the front porch. You can u-;e my
name, or my wife’s name to anything in
praise of the Microbe. You know lam as
low as any case—that ever kept up—l am
nothiug but skin and bones, yet I eat any
thing I like, and work every day. 1 had
not had an action of my bowels for one
year without taking an Injection, until I
took vour Microbe; siuc* then have had no
occasion for anything else where I took
Microbe properly. Respectfully,
J. N. Edwards and M. Edwards.

A HALF WHITE NB3RO.
His Changing Color Doe* Not Prevent
His Being Buncoed, Though.
Green Howell, an old colored man, from
Midville, was in Savannah trading yester
day. Green is only partly colored, though a
full blooded negro, his skin being os much
white as it is black. He has white circles
around his eyes and inoutb
and his neck is almost entirely
■abite. The forehead and top of his head
are so white that it gives him the appear
ance of being bald-beaded. In reply to
questions Green said that be had bean turn
ing white fur five or six years. The skin on
his body ai.d legs now is almost entirely
white. Ho said there is no feeling in the
change and do pain about it, except that
wbeu he is in the sun the white skin
blisters.
Green is over 50 years old. The white
skin exposed to viuvv is as clear and healthy
looking as that of a Caucasian.
Green is a simple o!d fellow, though, and
allowed himself to be robbed of $33 yester
day by a couple of negro bunco men. He
was on his way to the Central depot when
he was approached by two negroes.
They learned his name and where
he was from. One of them gave his name
as Stokes, and said he was a preacher. He
said he had some pamphlets that be was dis
tributing among the churches, and that he
would be up to Midville soon to distribute
some in the ohurch there. Ho asked the old
man to give him change for $lO. Green
pulled out his little roll to make the
change and then concluded that he would
make a note of the time Stokes would be In
Midville to distribute his pamphlets. He
sat down on a doorstep and one of the men
sat down beside him. He bad his money in
his lap, and while his head was down mak
ing the memoranda or.e of the
men slipped the money from
him. When he found his money gone he
accused the men of taking it, but each
denied it. They then walked off with the
old man’s money.
Green secured the services of Detective
Wetuerhorn, and a search was begun for
thet leves. Stokes was found, but tho old
man was not certain that he was the thief.
Stokes told such a good story of other
parties having the boodle that the detec ive
left the old man to take care of Stokes,
while he made a search for the other par
ties. What was his disgust, on returning
from an unsuccessful search, to find that the
old man had let Stokes walk off from him.
Green had not recovered his money at last
accounts.
Human Frailty.
We are all frail creatures physically—the
most robust among us. The unhealthy man or
woman is in great measure incapable of benefit
to society. If, for instance, biliousness, a
trouble of frequence ard often obstinately re
sistant of ordinary medic tion, obstructs the
harmonious action of toe liver and the bowels,
the sufferer is sure to be dyspeptic. The three
disordered conditions are sure to be confirmed
by neglect. Under the erroneous Impression
that there Is no hope for him, an impression in
all likelihood confirmed by the use of objec
tionable reme lies, the sufferer is apt to become
neglectful, nay. even reckless, ana that the
soouer he is removed from the sphere of human
endeavor the better for all patties concerned.
What a series of mistakes! His liver is respon
sible. It is an incorporate part of himself.
