distance.
Xo one was killed, and so far as could be
learned, no one was injured in the wreck.
It will take some time, however, to clear
the track, and repair the trestle. In the
meantime, trains wiil run via the Plant
SyMem. Train 66, due in Savannah at
31:50 o'clock last night, came that way,
end train 27, from Savannah to Jackson
ville. went out over the Plant System.
White Oak creek, where the wreck oc
curred, is a small stream, but the trestle
is a long one, and a considerable part of
it went down with the train.
IMPUTE FRAUD TO GRIFFIN.
Injunction ami Land Uomc on Trial
in the Superior Court.
The case of Florence N. Chambers
against Dixon, Mitchell & Cos. was on
trial in the Superior Court yesterday and
tthen tiie recess was taken last night
had not yet been concluded. The case
Kill lx* taken up again this morning and
endea during the day.
i je < aso is based upon a petition for
an injunction, tiled by the plaintiff against
the defendants, seeking to restrain them
from uesp3ssing upon lot 4C9 of the Thir
teenth district of Clinch county, which
the plaintiff claims as her property. It
is alleged in the original petition that the
defendants had entered upon the proper
ty and cut a quantity of timber, and
that they were building a tramway
through it, to the damage and wrong of
th* rightful owner. She asks that the
trespass be perpetually enjoined and that
damaged be allowed for the injury to the
property alleged to have been already
torn rnit ted.
Plain iff and defendants claim the pr.p
e.ty under diverse titles, running back to
the original grant fiom the state. That
h*li by the do • nrlants is attacked by tie 1
Plaintiff as fraudulent and both fraud
tnd forgery are imputed to the defend
ms’ grantor, T. W. Griffin. The defend
ants’ claim is two-told; first, that Grif
fin had a perfectly good paper title to the
property, ami. second, that he entered
\';*>n the property under a c’aim of right
And has been in continuous, peaceable,
public and undisputed possession for more
than seven years. I* is alleged that this
peaceable possession, under a claim of
title, for more than sevfn years, gives a
good title, whether the titl of Griffin was
good in the lirst instance or not.
To br< ak down ibis title it is necessary
for the plaintiff to show that Griffin’s
origrial ent’y upon the property was r.o‘
In g od faith and this charge was made
and evidence in supr>ort of it offered.
The i la In' iff is represented by M ssrs.
Toomer and Reynolds rf Waycrosi, and
Alexander & Hitch, while the defendants
are represented by M* ssrs. W. G. Char
tou and S. T. Kinsbury & Son. Mr.
Toomer made the cr> n ng argument to
tie jury, and Mr. Charlton was in the
midst of his when the recess was taken
STYLES WAS GIVEN A YEAR.
.Indge Norwood Added It to His Sen
tence From the Recorder.
Judge Norwood yesterday sentenced
Gwen Styles, a negro of doubtful profes
sion and rather less doubtful antecedents,
to serve, twelve months on the chain-gang
for carrying concealed weapons. Styles'
offense was aggravated by his actions at
Lincoln Park and on a car returning to
th city on the night of the Fourth.
On this occasion he had cursed and beat
en a w man, blackguarded everyone who
trPd to protect her or to keep him quiet,
drawn a revolver in the street car and
threatened to terminate the existence of
one of the i>aa. c erigiTS, and acted gener
ally as if he were ’a had. had man.” and
warned everybody to know* it.
When he was arra gned before Recor
der llartridge he succeeded in impressing
the Recorder with a sufficient amount of
appreciation of his depravity to warrant
a sentence of thirty days. He was also
turned over to the City Corn t. and Judge
Norwood on yesterday added twelve
months to the sentence.
The other cases tried at the weekly
criminal session of the City Court were
Sot of interest or importance, the defend
ants being charged with exceedingly petit
larceny. There were about half a dozen
of these cafes, and in mest of them the
defendants were sent to the gang for
ranging from three monts to a
year.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 7. 1000.
PLATFORM AND THE TICKET.
EVERYBODY KOT HAPPY OVER THE
RESULT AT KANSAS CITY.
Ranine** Men HlMgrantled llecnuse
of the Silver Plank, Bat the Hank
and File of the Pnrty Will Take
Thta Along With the Rent—(on
grenmnan Lester Think* the Ticket
Will Come a* Near Winning nn
any the Democrats Could Have
Put Ont—lmperialism the Main Is
sue and Silver Kept Strictly In the
Background.
The Kansas City Convention could not
be said to be exactly the absorbing topic
in Savannah yesterday, but still its action
was very generally discussed. Mr. Steven
son is not particularly a favorite here. The
majority of Savannah Democrats would
have preferred Hill as giving something of
a conservative tone to the ticket with
some assurance of carrying New York
state. Stevenson, it is generally acknowl
edged, is likely to prove a more satisfac
tory man than Towne, and as Bryan has
to have a running mate is about as good
a selection as could have been made and
a good deal better than some.
Neither the ticket nor the platform, it
must be acknowledged, has excited any
particular enthusiasm in Savannah yet.
The business men are considerably dis
gruntled because of the 16 to 1 plank. Very
few of those who were seen yesterday
had read the platform. They had simply
noticed from the headlines that 16 to 1 was
in it and that was enough for them. They
had entirely overlooked the fact that im
perialism is made the leading issue and
that the plank is as strong a presentation
of this question as it could possible be
made. It is the first issue presented, and
occupies a fnil column of the Morning
News, while 16 to 1 is buried in a para
graph of just thirteen lines, fully half way
down the middle of the platform. If the
porportionate conspicuousness given the
two Issues is any indication of their rela
tive importance as viewed by the Demo
cratic leaders in convention assembled then
the business men have little cause to grum
ble. They may take note of this later on.
"It is a good platform and a good
ticket,” said Congressman Lester, "and
will come as near winning as any the
Democrats could name. Stevenson is in
thorough harmony with Bryan, and will
make him a good running mate. He will
come as near helping to carry New York
as Hill would. The fact is that Ido not
expect much from New York, or any
Eastern state. If Bryan is to be elected,
his support must come from the West
and the South.”
“It is a splendid ticket and n splendid
platform.” said Hon. W. W. Sheppard,
"and a sure winner. The plank on im
perialism could not be improved upon.
The silver plank had to go in, of course.
It would have caused more talk had U
been lef* out than by being put in, and
would have lost votes both ways. The
Doer sympathy plank Is a good one, and
is destined to play a big part in the cam
paign. especially in the Northwestern
states, where the German and Scandina
vian element is very strong. Webster
Davis' wih be set to work In those states,
and will do great work there.”
There are other hopeful Democrats who
view*, the matter just as Mr. Sheppard
does. li. fact, the rank and file of the
par.v generally is pretty well satisfied
with the ticket and the platform, and will
make no bones about voting one and sup
porting the other. They do not regard the
money plank as of particular importance
one waj or the other, and taken as a
whole, they are satisfied with the
straisrhtout democracy of both the ticket
and the platform.
ADLAI E. STEVENSON.
Brief Sketch of the Career of the
Vice Presidential Nominee.
Adlni Ewing Stevenson was born in
Christian county, Kentucky, Oct. 20, 1813.
He was educated in the common schools
of his native county, and at Center Col
lege at Danville. When he was 16 years
old, he removed with his father's family
to Bloomington, 111., where he studied
law. and was admitted to the practice of
the profession. In 1864. after he had lived
at Metamora, 111., for ten years, he was
nominated by the Democratic pnrty for
presidential elector on the McClelland
ticket. At the time he was district attor
ney for his district, which office he held
for several years—until he returned to
Bloomingtom in 1869. and formed a law
partnership with Judge J. S. Ewing. Mr.
Stevenson was nominated for Congress
by the Democrats of the Bloomington Dis
trict in, 1874. The district was regarded os
safely Republican by 3,000 majority, but
Mr. Stevenson won by about 1.200. He
was in Congress during the exciting times
of the Tilden contest in 1876. He was
renominated to succeed himself, but was
defeated. In 1878, he was again nominated,
and this time was successful. At the ex
piration of his second term In Congress,
he returned to Bloomington and resumed
the practice of law. He was a delegate
to the Democratic National Convention
in 1884, and 1 after the election of Mr.
Cleveland as President, was appointed
First Assistant Postmaster General. In
1892, Mr. Stevenson was nominated for
Vice President on the ticket with Mr.
Cleveland, and was elected. He filled
the office for four years with marked
courtesy and conspicuous ability. Upon
the expiration of his term as Vice Pres
ident he resumed the practice of law in
Illinois.
THE TOM CAT'S STRATEGY'.
He Formed nn Offensive nnd Defen
sive Alliance With Three Dogs.
From the Grand Rapids Herald.
It was not hls size or his beauty which
made him remarkable, though his pos
session of these attributes of feline superi
ority easily made him prominent among
the cats of the neighborhood, with whom
he waged unrelenting warfare, but the
fact Is he possessed a controlling mind
and a strategic ability that would have
made him a great commander had lie
been born ill a more exalted sphere of
life. For this cat. with true diplomacy,
made friends with the dogs of his partic
ular domein and went forth to battle at
tended by a bodyguard whose appearance
Inspired respect and assisted him in his
combats. An English mastiff, a bird dog
and a small cocker spaniel shared his
meals and later enabled him to gain vic
tories over his hated rival, the gray cat
across the street.
This cat had many a contest with that
gray cat, but the combat always resulted
in a draw, because of the guerilla tac
tics of his wary oppoent. who preferred
n short fight and h rapid dash to eafety
to a prolonged conflict where the superior
weight and fighting ability of the cat with
the controlling mind would have a decid
ed advantage.
The thought that victory, undisputed,
had never yet petched upon his banners
vexed the soul of the diplomatic feline
and embittered Ins milk and beefsteak
wilh wormwood of vengeance long delay
ed. But at last diplomacy triumphed, and
retribution overtook the gray prowler and
disturber of midnight slumber.
One day In a fatal hour the gray cat In
vaded tie precincts of the feline Bis
marck whsn the allie. of the latter were
at hand. When he struck a sudden blow
and ran a smile of sudden Joy parted the
whiskers of the cat with the controlling
mind, and with him the three dogs Joined
the chase.
Because of thlr superior numbers the
dogs easily caught and brought to bay
the gray cat, an# then formed a ring
About him, while t£-t avenger entered the
arena and began the battle. Continually
driven back into the ring by the three
dogs, the gray cat was unable to pursue
his favorite tactics, and the result, after
one of the prettiest ‘Vat scraps” that the
ward has ever seen, was complete victory
for the eat with the diplomatic inclina
tions. Only when the gray cat, by a fly
ing leap over the heads of the dogs, es
caped did he let up in the work of righte
ous retribution. Then, in the conscious
ness of victory, the conqueror returned,
accompanied by his allies, to his repast of
milk and beefsteak, lord of his own do
main; and the surrounding neighborhood
as far as three blocks owned his undis
puted sway.
WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE.
Macon,'Gn.—lt* Strong Mimic Enmi
ty-Prof. Ertonnrif llen*ollerjc, One
of the World** Greatest Pinnist*.
Elected Director.
The Wesleyan College, at Macon, (la.,
has what is probably the strongest music
faculty in the South. At the recent com
mencement this department was a most
entirely reorganized. Prof. Edouard Hea
sel berg was elected director, and of the
eight teachers under him in this depart
ment it is said that every one has had
the best advantages that either Europe
or America could afford.
Miss Kate Vail King, for Instance, a
lady of national reputation, was chosen
as teacher of vcice culture.
Miss F. Eva Massey was elected one
of the piano teachers. She lirst graduated
in music at one of our Southern colleges,
then spent lour years in the New Eng
land Conservatory and graduated there.
She next taught three years in Converse
College and afterward went to Europe,
where she has been studying music for
the past two or three years under the
great masters of Leipzig and Berlin. She
comes immediately from Berlin to the
Wesleyan.
The other teachers have had similar
advantages.
Of Prof. Hesselberg. the director, we
clip the following from the Macon Tele
graph:
"This distinguished piano virtuoso, com
poser. conductor and instructor, laureate
and the Royal Philharmcnique Conservatory
o p Moscow, honorable member of the lAzst
Society, began to study piano when but
five and a half years of age. receiving
his first instruction from his mother. Five
public appearances at the age of seven,
in Koenigsberg. Two years later entered
the classical gymnasium in Russia, grad
uated in all branches of sciences at 16,
studying music at the same lime with
Prof. Theodor Dcdelukk. At that time
entered the Royal Philharmonique Con
serva:ory of Music a-t Moscow, being ac
cepted without yam i ation; received les
sons from Pietro Sc frost a kow sky (direc
tor in p rson; six months later his first
appearance as soloist at the Philharmon
ique symphony concerts; four years later
graduated with gold medal as laureate
in a competition of twenty-four others,
performing the celebrated ‘Dance Maca
bee’ by Liszt, with the symphony orches
tra before an audience of 10,010 at the
‘Pallet de la Noblesse.’ At this time he
tegan his private lessons under Rubin
stein. Mr. Hesselberg played before the
members of the Russian royal family; aho
before the Crown Prince of Italy and
Crown Prince of Austria; concertized
with Marcella Sembrlch. Marconi, Tori
celli, Lucca, Nordioa, de Reszke, etc.
Visited the principal chi of Europe,
Africa and America with overwhelming
success. Mr. Hesselberg has a very large
r perto re of the ( lassie and modern com
pos rs and over 100 original compositions
of his own for piano, voice and violin.
His talent is inherited from his mother’s
side, his uncle. Charles Davidoff, being
th© world's greatest cellist, and his
youngest sis er. Mss Re la Hesselberg,
yet only 16, is at the present (time one of
the best pupils cf the great violinist,
Joachim (Berlin).

European Paper*.
St. Petersburg, Russia: ‘‘Possesses
great power and delicay of touch and
ranks among the greatest pianists of the
day.”
Moscow, Russia: ‘‘To be able to perform
as he did, one must have perfect tech

tistic temperament.”
Berlin, Germany: ‘‘Carried the entire
audience by storm. Never has a more
finished player appeared in our city.”
Paris, France: “Such work as that of
last evening bids fair to soon place him

American Papers.
New York (World): “Edouard Hessel
berg (pupil of Rubinstein) received a per
fect ovation.”
Chicago (Inter Ocean): “The feature of
real musical merit was furnished by Ed.
Hesselberg. He has great technical skill
and fancy in phrasing; plays octave pass
ages with remarkable speed and without
apparent effort, unconsciously following
the model of Rosenthal.”
Philadelphia (Inquirer): “Hesselberg's
command of the keyboard is almost be
yond belief. His work has never been
excelled in this city.”
New Orleans (Picayune): “His success
was phenomenal, and the large audience
was lavish, and Justly so, with its ap
plause.”
Kansas City: “Excellent technique and
colors well. Follows Paderewski’s phras

San Antonio. Tex.: “Edouard Hessel
berg was encored again and again. His
touch is wonderfully masterful, and yet
as soft as it is strong.”
Little Rock. Ark.: “Equal, if not su
perior, to Paderewski.”
Fort Worth. Tex.: “He is one of the fin
est performers that ever visited our city.”
Dallas. Tex.: “Hesselberg's playing, to
those who have not heard Paderewski, ex
cites credulity as to the possibility of
Paderewski’s ability to excel him.”
Portland, Me.: “Artist of the very best
ability; no criticism Is possible and no
praise necessary.”
Trenton, N. J.: “Proved himself a
thorough master, nnd held his audience
nearly two hours in close attention, prov
ing his genius.”
Auburn, N. Y.: “At the close of his dou
ble number. Mr. Hesselberg was received
with a storm of applause.”
Ithaca, N. Y.: “Mr. Hesselberg’s play
ing last night brought down the house.”
Denver, Col.: “Hesselberg Is a pianist
.who has mastered the technique and in
fuses the poetry of Paderewski into Tils
playing.”
The Wesleyan College and the people
of Georgia and of the South are certain
ly to be congratulated on having such
musical talent and advantages In this sec
tion.—ad.
