NANCY HANKS WRECKED.
GEORGIA'S FAST BLUE FLYER
JUMPS THE TRACK.
The Engine and Three Cars Wrecked.
An Acrobatic Feat of the Tender—lt
Breaks Loose and Turns a Somer
sault Over the Engine Engineer
Ramsey and Two Passengers Hurt.
The New Blue Coaches and the Track
Padly Damaged.
The south-bound Nancy Hanks train from
Atlanta met with an accident yesterday at
8:25 p. tn. at the 309-mlle post, three miles
west of Bolingbroke, by which the entire
train, with the eroeptioD of the parlor par
at the rear, was derailed and the two coaches
nearest the engine were considerably dam
aged.
The train left Atlanta with Conductor W.
B. Beebo and Engineer llamsey in charge,
and was drawn by one of the old passenger
engines, as the Nancy Hanks engine which
was to have made the trip was in the
shops. The train was on time
and was running at the usual rate of about
fifty miles an hour. At the time of the ac
cident the train was just rounding a curve,
when it jumped the track, and ran along
the track for a distance of five car lengths
before it stopped. The tender broke loose
and made a complete somersault over the
engine, dropping 30 feet away.
THREE INJURED.
No one sustained any serious injuries
from the shook, and only three -Engineer
Ramsey, Miss Evelina Brooks and YV. M.
Cooper, a New York drummer, were hurt,
they receiving severe cuts on the head. A
number of others were considerably bruised
and shaken up by the jar. Physicians were
sent for at Forsyth to attend the injured
and dress such wounds as they received,
and were on the scene within less than an
hour after the accident occurred.
The new royal blue coaches were badly
damaged, however, three of them, the bag
gage, smoker and first class cars being
violently thrown from the traok, and con
siderably scratched and torn up. The
traok for five car lengths was so badly
damaged that several new rails and ties for
the entire distance will have to be put in.
TAKEN BACK TO MACON.
The passengers were carried baok to
Foreyth, from where they were carried to
Macon and transferred to another train,
which was made up there.
The Nancy Hanks was due here at 8:45
last night, but on aooount of the aooident,
will probably not arrive here until an early
hour this morning.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by the breaking of an axle on one
of the truoks of the engine.
THE STORY FROM MACON.
The following special in regard to the ac
cident was received from Macon last night:
Macon, Ga., Maroh 14, 1893.
The Nancy Hanks train jumped the track and
overturned at 3:30 o'clock p. m. to day, near
Bolingbroke, eighteen miles from Macon, de
molishing the train and injuring three
people. That the passengers escaped a fatality
is regarded as miraculous.
The train was in charge of Engineer John
Ramsey and Fireman W. Fogarty. When one
mile beyond:: parr’s station,while turning a curve
upon an up grade, the engine jumped upon the
crossties, on which all the cars bumped until
the crash came. The train was running fifty
miles an hour at the time of the accident, and
the tender turned a Bomersault over the loco
motive and landed 30 feet ahead. The baggage
car was demolished, but the sleeper did not
overturn. The smoker was filled with steam,
and caught firs, but was soon extinguished.
Those injured are Engineer John Ramsey,
who was cut about the head and hip; Evelina
Brooks had her wrist broken and received sev
eral bruises, and William Cooper, a drummer
of New York, was cut about the head and face
AU the passengers were brought to Macon at
10 o'clock to-night
TO-NIGHT'S COUNCIL MEETING.
The Kiilourhy Ordinance to Come Up
for Consideration.
The most important matter to be consid
ered at to-night’s council meeting is the
Kiilourhy ordinance introduced by Aider
man Hainee, the object of whioh is to rein
state ex-Cbief Kiilourhy in the police de
partment as a sergeant.
A number of “small fry” politicians,
whose enmity the ex-cnief incurred in his
strict adherence to duty, has been working
for the last two weeks to defeat the ordinance
and thus keep Mr. Kiilourhy out of the
police department in spite of the fact that
for twenty-seven years he was one of the
city’s most faithful officers, oftentimes
risking his life in behalf of law and order.
It is not likely, though, that the move
ment will be successful, as a majority of
the aldermen is pledged to Mr. Killourhy’s
friends to support the ordinance. The
measure also has the sanotion and favor of
Mayor McDonough, who has been desirous
ever sinoe the ex-chief’s defeat for re-eleo
tion to give bim the appointment of a ser
geant, but was prevented by the age ordi
nance, which the ordinance of Aider
man Haines was drawn to obviate.
Another important matter will be the
awarding of contracts to druggists to pro
vide medicine for the poor of the city in
stead of the dispensary. Nix druggists will
be selected, and an ordinance governing
tbeir duties will be presented by the health
and cemetery committee, together with its
report. A bond of <SOO will be required
from each of the druggists.
As Boon as the contraots are awarded the
stock of the dispensary will be sold at auc
tion and that institution will be closed for
ever.
A BIG SKA TOW.
One a Mile and a Quarter Long on
Its v/ay South.
The tugs George W. Pride and Oceanic,
from Philadelphia, arrived at Taggart's
coal wharf for coal yesterday morning.
They have three large barges laden with
■tone in tow. They are bound to Mayport,
Fla., the stone to be used there in the jetty
work. The tugs left the barges at anchor
off Tybee and came up to the oity. They
will resume their voyage this morning. The
tow at sea is quite a sight. The two tugs
aud three barges were all strung out in line
attached and made a tow a mile and a
quarter long. Capt Hetrich, who com
mands the Oceanic, is well known here,
having brought out the tug Regis after be
ing finished by her builders.

A DIRBCT TRsDE MEETING.
YVorkingfor Direct Grain Shipments
From Savannah.
There will be an independent meeting of
members of the board of traue to-night
I to consider wavs and means of bring
ing the advantages of Savannah and other
South Atlantic ports more closely to the
attention of the western grain markets.
It is important to the consummation of
the plans already put on foot that these
wester.: grain markets should be made to
realise that shipments can tie made from
here in quicker time and at the same rates,
| a 1,100-mile sea voyage from New Orleans
around Florida being saved.
It has tieeo suggested that representative
; men from the commercial bodies of the
large western markets be invited to visit the
South Atlantic ports, aud made more in
timately acquainted with their advantages,
and this proposition will probably be con
sidered by the commercial men who are to
meet to-night. The committee of gentle
men which has the matter in charge is leav
ing no stone unturned to bring this enter
prise to a suooesstul completion, and is
doing everything for its advancement.
Another meeting of the committees of
the three cities represented is expected
within a few days, as soou as the plans
mentioned above have been made. They
are working to have everything In readi
ness to do the work just as soon as grain
shipments begin.
Statistics show that New Orleans is doing
an immense busiues* in the direct shipment
of grain, and that it leads all other Ameri
can ports in this line. Tbereceipts of wheat
at that port for the week ending Feb. 25,
18U3. were 540,400 bushels, while the ship
ments amounted to 519,839 bushels. The
receipts of wheat were about 30 per cent,
more than these of all the other American
ports combined, while the shipments
were about in the same ratio.
Receipts of corn for the same
week were 329,955 bushels, while the ship
ments were 504,248 bushels. Its receipts of
corn exceeded those of any other port, arid
its shipments of that grain were greater
than those of New York and Baltimore
combined.
This Immense business has been built up
praotioaiiy in the last few years. Not only
that but it has been gradually increasing
from week to week, until New Orleans al
most stands at the head of the grain ports
of the United Htai.ee. It was only a lew
years ago that grain began to be carried
down the river in barges to that port. Now
it handles millions of bushels annually.
But Savannah in the place of New Or
leans. Wby should not this port obtain a
share of the grain shipments! It is not a
question of an adequate harbor, or ample
facilities for making such shipments, but
one of making the shippers as well as the
foreign buyers acquainted with these ad
vantages. Deep warer will be a matter of
only a few mouths, then comes the matter
of advertising. Tho endeavor is now being
made to bring the advantages before those
concerned, and success seems only a matter
of a short time.
TO APPOINT ENUMERATORS.
A Committee to Meet Mr. Sholes To
day to Decide on the Appointeep.
At the meeting of the board of education
Monday night the enumerators who are to
take the school oeDitis of Chatham county
were not appointed, as it was desired to in
quire Into the matter and see who would
make the best appointees.
A committee consisting of Col. Meroer,
president of the board, and Supt Baker
was appointed to meet and confer with Mr.
A. E. .oholes of the city directory to-day to
determine, if possible, which of the
applicants were best fitted for
the work by reason of their
knowledge of the districts as well a? their
ability to properly do the work. That
committee will meet this afternoon.
The enumerators were to have begun
their work to-day, but it was deemed ad
visable to take other steps. They will tie
selected and appointed to-night or to-mor
row, and tbeir compensation will be fixed
by the board.
There are four to be appointed
aud they will be required to be
gin work just as soou as thoy re
ceive their commissions. The work to be
done in Chatham county is quite an under
taking, and will probably require the full
time, the limit of which is set at May 20.
No school census has been taken in five
years, and it is expected that the present
one will show a large gam for Navannah as
well as for the oouuty.
DIDN'T MAKE OUT HIS CASE.
Charles Brandt Non-aulted in the City
Court.
Charles Brandt, who wanted <5,000 from
the Coast Line railroad baoauto his horse
ran away Dec. 22, 1890, and collided with a
car whioh was standing still on the track
near Barnard street, causing severe injuries
to him, was non-suited in the olty court
yesterday by Judge MacDonell. Ho failed
to make out a case agaiust the railroad to
the satisfaction of the court. O’Connor &
O’Byrue represented Brandt and CoL
George A. Mercer appeared for the railroad.
The case will be appealed.
The suit of the Nelson Morris Beef Com*

A NEW CHURCH.
The Beth-Eden Congregation Will
Build Shortly.
The Beth-Eden congregation (colored)
have just had completed the plans referred
to some time ago in the Morning News
for anew building which is to adorn their
lot at Gordon and Linooln streets.
The design for the new structure, which
is displayed in Thens Bros.’ window, shows
it to be a building whioh will bo an adorn
ment to the section in whioh it is to be
built.
Rev. Ellis, pastor of the church, has been
at work a long time among the congrega
tion, and its members have been quite lib
eral in tbeir contributions for the beautiful
structure. As soon as a sufffi ient fond can
be raised work will begin on the erection of
the church, which will be a credit to the
congregation as well as an ornament to the
city.

TO CONSIDER A SALE.
The Stockholders of the Knitting Mills
Hava au Offer.
The future of the Pulaski knitting mills
will be decided to-night at a meeting of the
stockholders in the Guards’ armory, which
has been called to discuss the matter of sell

plant by responsible parties and t;.e proba
bility is that the stockholders will agree to
a sale.
The knitting mills started under favora

told upon it and finally it had to be close*!.
If a practical man gets hold of the mills,
however, there is hardly any doubt aoout
making them a success.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1893.
WILL HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL.
A Busy Season Before the City's
Health Department.
The sanitary authorities are going to have
tbeir bands full for the next few months.
The acres of dry wells, thousands of privy
vaults and unsanitary back yards, if any
thing like properly attended to, will keep
the officials and employes of that depart
ment of tho city government about as busy
as can be even if the city, as represented by
the mayor, is in a first-class sanitary con
; dition.
Steps have been taken to abate the dry
wells at Nos. 85 and 85K Montgomery
street, reported to the health board last
* week, and the condition of which was also
reported in the Morning News yesterday,
and dug wells at Nos. 158 and 158
Broughton street.
The agent of the property on which the
wells are located has been notified to com
ply with the ordinance, which, it is under
stood, he refuses to do. The same premises
were reported to the mayor two years ago
by the Citizens’ Sanitary Association.
Another report was made to the mayor
yesterday by Inspector i iesvergers of tha
sanitary association of the uusanitary con
dition of the closets and yard at No. 100
President street. The water supply had
been shut off from the premises four days
for non-payment of rent The house is
ocoupied by half a dozen families, white
and colored. The only closet in the house
proper which the inmates of the upper
floors, four families in ail, with a number
of children, had to use was without water
during the time the supply was
shut off. The closet in the
yard used by colored families wus in a con
dition dangerous to the health of the entire
neighborhood. The yard and area way at
the rear of the house were in a filthy con
dition, and altogether the premise* wer ■ a
nuisance. The agent of the property was
notified the day the water was shut off the
condition of affairs, but nothing was done
until yesterday, after the matter had been
reported to the mayor by the sanitary as
s loiation’s inspector and the necessity for
immediate attention urged.
The condition of affairs in this instance
brings attention to the oitv ordinances
which compels the shutting off of the water
supply for non-payment of water rent in
stead of making the rental a lien
on the property collectable by ex
ecution the same as sidewalk
improvements. In toe case of 100 Presi
dent street some of the families were sub
tenants and had no means of protection
against the shuttiug off of the water and
wore compelled to submit to the c ondition
of affairs until the water rental bad been
paid and the water supply ugaiu turned on.
FSARB FOR THE JENNIE THOMAS.
Sighted in Distress by p. Vessel Now at
New York.
The schooner Jennie Thomas sailed from
Baltimore Feb. 18 for this port, but baa not
yet arrived and there is some anxiety for
the vessel owing to the very heavy weaiher
whioh has prevailed along tho coast.
The bark Doris Eokhoil, which arrived at
New York Sutiday from Auckland, N. Z.,
reports that on March G, lat. GO’-’ 40,
long. 72 Q 10'. she sighted a suhoouerunder
bare polls rolling heavily. The bark wore
ship and ran down to her; she proved to be
the Jennie Thomas, frum Baltimore for
Savannah; had lost all her head rails and
jibboom aud side lights aud had everything
movable washed oft her decks. This was a
week ago. She has not beeu reported since
and in her disabled condition with turtbor
heavy w eather it is feared that she may
have foundered as she was loaded with coal.
Her commander, Capt. Townsend Young,
is an old trader here aud is an able and suc
cessful navigator. The vessel is compara
tively anew vessel, having been launched a
couple of years ago. She is owned here and
was named after the daughter of D. R.
Thomas, Esq.
PLAYS WELL RECEIVED.
The Baldwin-Melvllle Company’s Suc
cessful Performances.
The lialdwin-ilelville Company played
“Michael Strogoff” at yesterday’s matinee
and “ Two Orphans” last night. Both plays
were before good audiences and were well
received. The company showed itself to
better advantage even than it did Monday
night in “The Black Flag.” To-night
“Wells-Fargo Messenger” will be the bill.
In the drawing yesterday No. 42, J.
Loski, drew the first of the season tickets.
No. 44, J. Herron, drew the second. At to
morrow’s matinee the lady holding the
winning number will be given a haudsome
dress pattern now on exhibition in Ein
stein’s show window. At the Saturday
matinee the winning number will entitle the
holder to the choice of any bonnet in the
show window or store of S. Krouskoff.
If the remainder of the company’s en
gagement is as successful as the first three
performances have been, the theater wiil
hardly be able to hold the audience at
Saturday’s performance.

WON FREEDOM BY FIGHT
BURGLAR BRADWELL ESCAPES
FROM THE PRISON THRESHOLD.
Assisted by a Friend Named Simmons,
tae Drug Store Robber Attacks Con
stable Locust at the Jail Gate and
Gets Away—A Bold Assault on an
Officer In the Fresencs of Many Peo
ple—The Burglar, After Planning the
Affair, Throws Locußt Cff His Guard
by His Genial Manners.
One of the boldest escapes of a criminal
that has ever occurred in Savannah was
that of William Brad well yesterday morn
ing from Constable Locust at the jail gate.
A pel named Simmons met him there and
assisted in the assault of the officer in broad
daylight, on one ot the principal streets of
the olty, under the shadow of the jail walls.
Brad well is the negro who robbed De-
Oaugh’s drug store, at Whitaker aud Duffy
streets, Saturday night last by going in
through the coal shuie. After tapping the
till of his employer Brad well left the store
by the front door. Detective Bossell was
oalled into the case Monday and after ex
amining the store he arrested Bradwell and
carried him to the barraoks. The negro
made no attempt to get away from De
tective Bossell because he probably realized
that snob a break might result seriously to
himself.
A CLEVERLY PLANNED AFFAIR.
Yesterday morning M. DeGaugh swore
out a warrant ago nst Bradwell in Justice
Elsmger’s court, charging him with bur
glary, and he was taken before the jußtiee
for a hearing. Simmons met Bradwell out
side the barracks aud had a whispered con
versation with him, which was probably
the time the oscape was planned, as its exe
cution showed plainly that Iwj h the
prisoner and his friend thoroughly under
stood their parts.
Bradwell went quietly to Justice El-inger’s
office and took bis commitment to jail with
such docility that Constable Locust did not
think there was any necessity to handcuff
him. He walked alon : the street chatting
pleasantly with the officer ns if on his way
to a picnio instead of to a cell. As they
approached the jail Constable Locust
notice Simmons standing alongside the
gate, but he only supposed the man was
waiting there to have a partiog word with
his friend Bradwell before he turned his
back on tho sweets of freedom for the dull
ness of jail life.
THU ATTACK ON THE OFFICER.
"Hello, Sim, old boy,” was the greeting
Bradwell gave bis friend. “I’se gone I
guesi.”
Then be stepped quiokly up to the gate as
if to open it. The greeting must have been
the signal for Simmons, for, with the quick
ness of a cat, he jumped behind Coustoblo
Locust, and grabbing Ills arms forced them
to hiH back, rendering bim helpless. As
ouickly as Simmons performed his part of
the programme) Bradwell, who is a short,
thick set, powerful man, wheeled and
hammered the constable in the eyes and
mouth several times.
Both meu thou ran across Habersham
street and disappeared before Constable
Locust had time to recover from his sur
prise or beating. As soon as he realized
what had happened he drew his revolver
and started In the direction where Brad
well aud Simmons went, but at last ac
counts he was still vainly searching for
them. The police were notified of tho affair,
but they had no trace of either the burglar
or hie friend up to midnight.
The attack upon the constable was wit
nessed by a number of people, but it all
happened so quickly that nobody was able
to render the officer any assistance. For
shrewdness in planning, or boldness in exe
cution, the escape of Burglar Bradwell can
not be easily surpassed.

A WISE MOVE.
The Savannah Carriage and Wagon
Company’s New Location a Great
Befceflt to Them.
The building corner Broughton and Jef
ferson streats, formerly occupied by M.
Boley & Sons, is now in the bands of con
tractors undergoing necessary changes for
tho Savannah Carriage aud Wagon Com
pany, whoso banners announcing the fact
are already displayed on the walls.
Their customers always complained of
their present out of the way location, so the
move will be a decided benefit, besides
affording more *paoe and bettor show
rooms.
Their "removal sale” Is attracting much
attention, buyers ooming from the interior
and from other cities to take advantage of
the opportunity, while out of town dealers
and liverymen are making large purchases
at these cut prices. The sale continues until
April 1; in the meantime their entire stock,
including harness also, is thrown on the
market. This enterprising firm has in
three years built up a remarkable trade in
their line, and to-day are the largest vehicle
and harness dealers iu the south, their ship
ments extending from Virginia to Cuba,
with occasional shipments into Maryland
and other northern states.
The present officers are: Lee Roy Myers,
president; Max Robinson, secretary and
treasurer; Charles Brant, superintendent,
who, together with Edward ICarow, L.
Mohr and YV. deß. Kops, constitute the
board of directors. The Savannah Carriage
and Wagon Company has done much in
making Savannah what it was never be
fore—an established and well-known car
riage market.
Savannah aa a Health Hesort.
Editor Morning Reivs: The writer,
owing to the severity of the past winter
mouths in a northerly clime, found that a
serious inroad had been made in his other
wise robust health. The advice of the phy
sician was to seek a more genial clime in
the south. It was then that the president
of one of the heaviest banks iu New York,
on learning of the writer’s intention, re
marked: “Don’t make the mistake of
many hundreds of invalids by going too far
south. The change from cold to heat is
detrimental and the object Bought defeated.
By no means go farther south than the
southern line of South Carolina." As the
gentleman was a traveler of experience his
advioe was followed, with the result that
Savannah was chosen as the objeotive
point, and the continual improvement
in health shows the value of the informa
tion, and although two weeks have scarcely
passed a thorough change has taken place,
and aside from the fact that advices re
ceived from New Y'orkure adverse to a re
turn until the ice and snow have cleared
away and more moderate weather prevails
in that latitude, the health of the writer
would permit of his return. Savannah,
during the past two weeks, has been all that
an invalid could desire —neither warm nor
cold, but juvt such weather as restores
health. No Cuba or Florida for me.

ABSOLUTELY PiEkE
A SAILOR’S HOME.
The Fort Society Decides to Establish
One Here.
The board of managers of the Port So
ciety met the ladies’ auxiliary at the resi
dence of President J. D. Weed last night to
take steps toward the establishment of a
sailor’s home. The outcome of the meeting
was that such an institution will be put into
practical operation in connection with the
reading rooms of the Port Society within
a few days.
The foundation of this movement lay in
the faot that'll city ordinance oompels
sailors to sleep ashore during four months
of the year, and they are often compelled
to lodge at unclean and unhealthy sailors’
boarding houses.
It was agreed that this Institution would
be a splendid adjunct to the Port Society,
and those preaant decided to do all in their
power to make the movement a succoss.
Twenty-four beds were donated by mem
bers of the society and the ladies’ auxiliary,
and they will be put up as soon as possible
in the southern half of the upper story of
the building in which the reading roijfcis are
now lnoated, which has been rented for the
purpose.
it is the wish of the Port Society to in
crease the number of beds to fifty os soon as
possible, and by June 1 at the latest. At
present it has not the means to begin on a
larger eoale, but hopes to increase the
capacity of the home until the entire upper
story is in use.
It is the desire of the members of the
society that these of the public who feel so
disposed will aid them iu the establishment
of this worthy institution. Those who can
and are willing to do so cun notify Miss
Ellen McAlpin, president of the ladies’
auxiliary, at South Broad und Barnard
streets, of the contributions they desire to
make.
The rooms will be well fitted up by the
ladies wno are interested in the work, and
a small nominal price will be charged for
lodgings.
The home will thus be begun on a small
scale, and increased gradually as funds and
contributions will permit. It is the object
of the sooiety in the course of time to con
struct a special building for this purpose.

WHO BAB IS.
The Writer Is a Baltimore Woman.
Her Career.
K. IF. Bok in Philadelphia Times.
I presume if the question, "Who is Bab?”
has been asked me once, it has been asked
100 times. The clover newspaper corre
spondent “ Bab” is in reality Mrs. Mallon.
She is by birth a Baltimore woman, her
grandparents belonging to the old Sloan
family, in Harford county, Maryland.
Her full maiden name is Isabel Alierdice
Sloan. When quite young she met William
Mallon, an Irish gentleman, and she was
married to him in New York city.
Then for four years she lived in Ireland,
and afterward in Londuo. She returned to
New Y ork in 1883, and a year later her hus
band died. Then she took up newspaper
work, becoming first connected with the
New York Star, in which her now
famous “Bab’s Babble” started.
The bright aud feminine style
of these letters made a success for
their author from the beginning. In 1883
she became connected with a New York
pattern publishing house, aud performed a
great deal of editorial work on one of the
periodicals issued by the firm. In 1888,
upon the demise of the Star, her "Bab” let
ter was transferred to a New York syndi
cate. At this same time she resigned all
other editorial connections to associate her
self with the editorial staff of tbe Ladies’
Home Journal, and this periodical low
oontrois her entire time and work, except
ing her syndicate letters. Mrs. Mallon is a
young woman, and resides In a flat of ner
own in New York city, where her mother
lives with her. In connection with her
"Bab” letter she has a remarkable record in
that, though she has now written it contin
uously for nearly seven years she has uever
missed a single week during that time, al
though the work had occasionally been done
from a bed of sickness.
Croup is prevented by the timely use of Dr.
Bull’s Cough Syrup, the mother's friend.— ad.
TELFAIR ACADEMY.
A Plan to (Jet a Great Pict
ure for It.
The Morning News believes the posses
sion by the Telfair academy of one of the
great pictures that will be exhibited at the
Columbian fair would give pleasure to all
the friends of the Academy. Why not raise
an amount sufficient to purchase one of
them! The Academy’s friends can easily do
It. If each one of them will give the under
taking his support the thing will be accom
plished.
The Academy has many friends, and they
are not confined to this city or state. They
are to be found in many states, for of tne
thousands of visitors to the city within the
lost two or three years from all parts of the
country, many of them have passed pleas
ant hours viewing its treasures. From some
of these help may be expected.
Of course Havannabians will respond gen
erously, and bo will Georgians outside of
Savannah. The Academy is in facta south
ern institution. It is the only Aoade
my of fine arts south of Washington.
The sources therefore from whioh assistance
may be honed for are many.
Subscriptions will be received by the
Morning News and promptly acknowl
edged in the colunio that will be devoted to
that purpose. Let every friend of the
Aoadeniy help in this undertaking and the
institution will have among its collection
one of the great pictures of the Chicago
Exposition

THE PRESIDENT’S CARRIAGES.
It Commands the Attention of the
Sigbt-Seere.
Washington, March 33. —Not since Pres
ident Arthur was in the white house have
the executive stables contained four finer
animals than the horses which President
Cleveland brought down from New York.
The four carriages they will draw are also
very handsome and quite different from the
general rule of President’s carriages, in
that two of them are striped with red
and yellow lines on the wheels and shields
and running gear. President Harrison’s
horses were ail from the west ahd were
superb animals. His carriages were from
the famous shops of the Studebakers in
Indiana, the head of which firm was after
ward appointed a delegate to the pan-
American conference. President Cleve
land’s animals are from New York state and
the traps from the Brewster shops. The
four horses are chestnut bays and are
Btrong, well-made animals, and evidently
blooded. Altogether there are four vehicles
—a handsome -1-seated landau, which the
President will use when he attends cabinet
dinners, or wishes to take any one besides
Mrs. Cleveland driving; a phaeton, a
brougham and a victoria.
The landau is of striking appearance. It
is ebony black, with dark red stripes on the
spokes of the wheels and along the sides. It
has the basket finish, and is handsomely up
holstered in black cloth and silk. On the
box, where President Harrison’s old coach
man will hold the reins, there are two mas
sive side lamps of glistening glass and nickel
silver finish. The harness that goes with it
has silver plate trimmings, and on the blinds
are the letters *‘G. C.” in morograra. Mrs.
Cleveland’s phaeton is a light vehicle, with
a place for the footman behind. Unlike the
landau, the color is of a dark green, with
light yellow stripes on the wheels and sides.
The top swings over so as to nearly prevent
any one from the side seeing who the occu
pant is. The cushions are of deep green
cloth. The brougham is a heavy 2-seated
vehicle, painted black, with silver-mounted
lamps. The viotoria has not yet arrived,
but will he here next week.
The President’s stable is immediately
back of the white house, and was built by
Gen. Grant during his last term. It is well
fitted up and carefully cared for. No ap
propriation Is allowed by oongress for the
President’s carriages and horses, and it has
always beau the custom for earn President
to bring his own outfit with him to Wash
ington when he comes to take yie oath of
oiilce. Some of ex-President' Harrison’s
harness is still in the stable, but will be for
warded to him at Indianapolis when be
sends for it.
In striking contrast to the President’s
turnout are those provided by the govern
ment for the cabinet officers. These are old
fashioned, A-tea red carriages, with the box
on a level with the seats, and glass window's
on the front and sides. They are usually
dingy looking, and the horses are inferior
animals. The carriages, however, are only
intended to be used for official purnoses,
although the wives of the officials monopo
lize them for social uses.
"A RARE DEMOCRAT."
"Buffalo BUI" Tells the President Thf.t
He Doesn’t Want an Offloe.
From the New York Press.
Niagara Fali.B, March 12.—William F.
Cody ("Buffalo Bill”), who is here on bis
way to Chioago, where ha will open with
his Wild W’ost show on April 25, related a
recent interview he had with President
Cleveland. He met the President at the
inaugural ball aud this is the way be tells
the story:
"Mr. Cleveland said, ‘Howdy do, Bill;
I’m glad to see you.’
“ ‘l’m proud to be present at your in
auguration,’ I replied.
‘ ‘ ‘Well, Bill, what can I do for youT
“ ‘Noihing, Mr. President; atsolulely
nothing.’
“ ‘This le surprising,’ remarked the
President. ‘ln my long experience in polit
ical life I have at last met a democrat who
wants nothing himself, nor anything for a
friend.’ ’
The President and Mr. Cody shook hands
aud both laughed.

Paderewski has created a furor.a cyclone
of amazement and admiration until
America is at his feet; yet, we must
none of us lose sight of the piano whioh
contributed so largely to his success.
Here is a portion of the letter of Pad
erewski giving his opinion of theSTErv
WAY. * * . , ,
"Nothing new can be said of the Stein
way Pianos, it is true, for they have been
justly praised by all modern masters,
and 1 theroughly concur in every word
that has been sold. But I must tell yr, u
that although I was delighted and in
spired with your Pianos at my first con
cert, my enthusiasm and inspiration in
creased at my second oonoert, and be
came still greater at the third; and thus
It went on CRESCENDO until my final
appea: ance, at whioh my joy In the
grandeur, the power and the ideal
lieauty of the tone and the perfection of
touch and mechanism was unbounded
All who play your Pianos can but thunk
you. I also do so, and at the same time
congratulate you most heartily.
