when the accident happened.
John Carstons, of New York, the
baggage master, had a glass of water
to hla ltpa when the craeh. came. He
waa hurled through the window. HI*
wrist was terribly cut. but he had
presence of mind to pick up a red lan

rectlon.
Shortstop Saves Baby.
Harry Taylor, shortstop of .the
Poughkeepsie baseball team, who waa
badly Injured Internally and about the

In a police raid on a negro club room f or ??' °“ r c “ r to whl l* * boul
at 04 1-2 Decatur street Sunday after
noon about 4 O'clock forty-nine ne
groes were taken Into custody.
The raid was made by Plain Clothes
Officers Rowan, Rosaer, Starnes and
Coogler. The officers mad* a rush Into
the place, and. covering It with their
pistole, corrated Ihe big crowd of blacks
before they had time to get away.
The prisoner* were arraigned Mon
day morning before Recorder Broyles,
tbe trial attracting one of the largest
crowds of negroes ever seen In the po
lice court room. Walter Harris, pro-
K rletor of the club, was fined 828.76.
Is two assistants were lined 816.76
each, and the remainder 110.76 each.
Another club room In Decatur street
was also raided, and thirteen negroes
arrested. They wef* given similar
Ones by the recorder.
In the air. I waa flung Into the aisle
and for a time -waa stunned. * When I
regained my sense, my first thought
was for my children. Alice was pin
ioned beneath a seat which had been
crushed. I waa still unable to move
when a train hand appeared and
wrenching the seat up; lifted the child
out and at the same time picked up
my boy, who bad been stunned by the
shock. It seemed only a few moment*
afterward* when several of the men
cerried me out." '
Mrs. Warren Heath, of Schenectady,
who, with her husband, waa injured,
■aid that attar tha wreck people were
running about like ao many erased
sheep. No one seemed to know what
to do. And cries and groans were com
ing from the care ahead, where there
were still a great many people appar
ently unable to set out without help.
Because of the lack of funds. It
probable that Atlanta will net have an
abattoir under municipal supervision
for several years. It Is estimated that
an abattoir adequate for the use of thl*
city would cost between 878,000 and
8100,000. This sum at (he present lime
could not be well spared from the city's
funds, say city authorities.
The lack of money does not, how
ever, lessen the public Jentlment which
now strongly In favor of tha city
owning Its own slaughter house, and
It le believed afler tbe meeting of the
special council committee, Investigat
ing the situation, this tendency to-
ward municipal control will be even
stronger.
The committee will hold session
Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock. All
the members at the committee, com
posed of Walter A. Taylor, chairman,
and Councilman Sims, Glass, McEach-
em and Oldknow, have been hard at
work collecting evidence against the
present methods- and looking Into the
ways and means being adopted by
other large cities. The result of these
Investigations are that many startllni
discoveries have been made and wll
be thoroughly aired at the meeting
Tuesday.
It Is the general oglnlon that within
a short period of time the method now
in vogue at Cleveland, Ohio, will be
metalled her*. This consists of a rigid
ante-mortem and post-mortem Inves
tigation of all animals slaughtered. The
Inspections are made by competent In
spectors and If any unusual conditions
develop In th* animal the carcass la
turned over to a veterinary surgeon, g
Thla method/ although It cannot
as complete and aatiaMctory as a pub
lie slaughter house, will greatly Im
prove the present conditions, and will
doubllees be followed In time by the
municipal abattoir.
Depends on Whether Judge
Speer Granted Su
persedeas.
A delicate point has arisen In con
nectlon with the Rawlins case, and
upon which hinges largely the Imme
diate fate of the three Rawlins and
the negro Alt Moore.
The question Is as to whether Judge
Emory Speer allowed a supersedeas
In the hearing before him In Macon
Friday. It does not appear from the
stories coming from there that such
waa the case, and If no supersedeas
was granted then the issue as to
whether the execution* lake place next
Friday Is squarely up to the governor
and no one else.
Attorney General Hart was In con
sulatton with the governor Monday
morning, when the matter waa thor
oughly dlscusied. In the absence of
th* papers from Macon, which have
not yet reached Governor Terrell,
Judge Hart could give no positive de
cision. In the meanwhile he Is going
over the record* In order to be able
to advise him when the records arrive
here.

By Private Leased Wire.
Angleeea, N. J., July 80.—Eight per
son# were drowned off here yesterday
when two flehlng yachts capsized on

owing to the herolem of Captain Lud-
