HAD CLOSE CALL
W. T. Matthews Accident
ally Swallowed Overdose
of Laudanum While on
Georgia Northern Train.
W. T. Matthews, a traveling sales
man' representlng^e Green’s August
Flower Co., of Woodbury, N. J., had
a close call for Ills life tills morning
■while on a Georgia Northern train en
route from Moultrie to this city.
An overdose of laudanum, taken by
accident, was responsible for Mr.
Matthews’ narrow escape.
The traveling man boarded the
Georgia Northern train at Moultrie,
intending to come to this city. Short
ly after leaving Moultrie, he had oc
casion to take a dose of medicine, for
which purpose he took a phial from
his grip. Whether Be Intended to
take a small dose of laudanum, or of
some other physic, is not known.
* At any rate, a few minutes after he
had taken the dose, Matthews was dis
covered in an unconscious condition.
Passengers who observed him went to
his assistance, and two physicians
who chanced to he on the train were
summoned. They were Dr. Hicks, of
Carlisle, and Dr. Lindsey, of Moultrie.
For some tlmd' it appeared that
MatthewB was dead, and the efforts of
the physicians to resuscitate him were
for a long while unavailing. Eventu
ally, however, consciousness returned,
though when the train reached Albany
the unfortunate man was not consid
ered out of danger. He was carried
to the New Albany hotel, and Dr. W.
L. Davis was summoned. He re
ceived every‘attention, and this after
noon is rapidly recovering from the
effects of the deadly drug,

COUNTESS BONI DE CASTEL-
LAINE, JAY GOULD’S DAUGH
TER, FILES SUIT FOR DI
VORCE FROM HUSBAND.
Paris, Feh. 6. — Countess Boni de
Castellane (formerly Anna Gould) en
tered a plea for divorce yesterday.
Representatives of the countess and
the count appeared before Judge Hen
ry Ditte, of the court of first instance,
who, in conformity with the French
law, endeavored to arrange a concilia
tion before allowing a definite suit to
proceed. It is said on unquestionable
authority that Judge Ditte’s efforts
were riot successful, the countess ab
solutely declining to resume her rela
tions with her husband, and that after
repeated but vain attempts by Count
de Castellano’s advisers to arrange a
settlement, the representatives of the
count and countess l^ft the court, and
that the suit V* 11 proceed.

Another judicial effort at reconcilia
tion will almost certainly be made be
fore the, suit comes to trial in the
ordinary court.
No decision has been reached rela
tive to the eventual custody of the
children of the count and countess, but
they being under, age, will for the
present naturally remain in the care
of their'mothrir.
Friends of the Coujj£ and Countess
de Castellano express little hope that
any adjustment of their differences
will be brought about,, but as' divorce
proceedings under the French law are
very lengthy, new developments may
occur before the case comes up for
trial. A decree can not he pro
nounced under from three to- six
months.
Rumors have been current for a
long time that the countess had de
cided that any further continuance of
her relations with her husband was
impossible, and her removal from the
Castellane residencb to a hotel in the
center of Paris gave support to the
belief that she had finally decided to
apply for a divprce. Sensational re
ports have been circulated with refer
ence to the count’s conduct, and the
name of a, prominent society leader of
Paris, a, woman,’of very high stand
ing, has been mentioned in connection
with the affair. But the greatest reti
cence has been maintained by all the
parties concerned relative to the. pro
gress of the negotiations looking to a
reconciliation, and even yesterday
morning a favorable result was ex
pected, especially as the countess re
turned toi her residence. It now ap
pears that the efforts of those inter
ested in bringing about a settlement
of the differences between the count
ess and the count without an appeal
tp the courts have been unavailing.
The count is said to he in the south
east of France.

Billie Osborne’s Citizens’
Club Not to Have a
Walk-Over in Local Pol
itics this Year.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Gal, Feb. 6.—For the first
time in four years Savanpah seems
destined to have a local political cam
paign that will prove of interest.
The Citizens’ Club, under the guld
ance of W. W. Osborne, has during
the last two local campaigns kept the
opposition so thoroughly in hand that
none has dared to show his head to
Albanians will be much Interested
In the following, which we take from
the columns of Sunday’s Balnbridge
Tribune:
"The handsome two-story residence
'of Mr. H. J. Bruton, on Evans street,
was completely gutted by fire this
morning ard two of the young ladles
rooming on the second story were
compelled to flee In hastily donned kl-
say nay to what the-dominant, taettyri monas -tw escape; suffocation; They
were Miss Louise Bruton and her
wanted. This year, however, there js
a change. There are two organiza
tions that are working to the same
end. One is the Peuple’s League and
the other the Chatham County Demo
cratic Club. One has been organized
by the working classes and the poli
ticians who are opposed to the Citi
zens’ Club, and the other (the Demo
cratic Club) is composed of the "slllc
stocking” ejement. They will prob
ably comblrie before the campaign,Is
far advanced.
One thing that, lends 'zesjj to..the
campaign is the fact that Col. Waring
Russell, a politician as yet undefeated
In Chatham county, Is at the hei\d of
the People's League. ' He is Its domi
nant spirit. The only campaign Mr.
Osborne ever lost in Chatham was
when "Old Man Waring” was on the
other side. Just now, howeyer, tnere
is such a compact organization In con
trol of municipal and county affairs
that It will take the hardest kind of
hard fights ,to whip them out.
The reglstra ion is now on and both
factions are getting every name pos
sible on the books.
