VENABLE REMAINS ON THE HOARD.
Juilko Richard 11. I InrU Declares
Him Eligible to Serve.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2.—The protracted
fight over the eligibility of Police Com
missioner W. H. Venable was decided
to-day In Sir. Venable's favor by Judge
Richard H. Clark, presiding In the supe
rior court.
The light to oust Commissioner Venable
from the police board on the ground that
as a state senator he Is disqualified, is fa
miliar to the reading public. Air. Venable
belongs to what Is known as the English
faction on the police board and the fight
was made by the ISrotherton-King ele
ment, the object being to have him
succeeded by a Hrotherton-King man. i
and thus give that faction control of the
police department. First, the light was
made In the city count 11 and then It was
carried to the superior court by Comml-i
--sioner Rrotherton, the hearing at that tri
bunal being held to-day. In his answer,
which wns a lengthy one, Mr. Venable
handled Commissioner Hrotherton with
out gloves. Mr. Hrotherton, he said,
should have been the last man on earth
to fight him, considering the obligations
that he was under to him. In deciding
that Mr. Venable was entitled to his
place on the board, Judge Clark said he
based his decision on the law and com
mon sense. Mr. Brothorton's lawyer will
tow carry the fight to the supreme court.

THE PILE DRIVER U ENT OVER.
Two Men Injured on the K, C. and P.
Railroad.
There was quite an accident on the
Florida Central and Peninsular railroa!
at the Savannah river bridge yesterday
morning, w hich resulted in serious injury
to two colored hands, who were working
on a pile driver that was being used in
repairing the trestle.
The flat car ution which the pile driver
was stationed and the engine and tender
wi re out on the trestle and about twenty
feet above the marsh below. The ma
chine had been working but a short time
when one of the guy ropes that held the
b-om In place gave way, causing the heavy
timber to swing round and throw the
flat car out of equilibrium. The car upon
which was the pile driver, was turned
mpi-tely over, falling down off the tres
tle and dragging the tender of the en
gine after it. The engine Itself was al
most wrenched from its position, but th
weight of the car and tender broke the
coupler, and it remained steady.
At the time of the accident there were
five men on the flat car and two on the
tender. All of them managed to get ofT
with the exception of three negro labor
ers. who wera on the flat car. They w ere
carried down into the mud and buried un
der the overturned car. One of them for
tunately escaped with several slight
bruises, while the two others were quite
seriously injured.
one of them had his left ankle broken
and his 1 ack severely sprained, while the
other hal three or four ribs fractured,
one of the broken bones penetrating the
lung. lir. J. G. Jarrell was called out to
attend the injured men, who, after their
wounls w>re dressed, were sent up to
Garnett. The names of the negroes were
not learned. They were quite seriously
injured, and It is not know n w hether both
w ill live or not.
The engine operating the pile driver w as
quite badly damaged. It was turned up
side down in the fall and was driven Into
the mu-1 by the weight of the heavy car
falling on top of it. The escape of all the
other men is considered almost miracu
lous. One of them Jumped from the flat
car just as It was turning over, and land
ed on a crosstle of the trestle.
FELL FROM THE TOP OF A C AR.
An Electric Itailwuy I.lnemnn Se
riously Injured,
John E. Stewart, a lineman of the Elec
tric railway, was quite seriously Injured
yesterday morning by falling from a re
pair car on which he was working at the
corner of Barnard and Liberty street. He
was engaged in repairing the trolley wire
and by some mistake In the signals the
inotorman of the oar to which the repair
car was attached started off without
Stewart's knowledge.
The sudden start caused him to fall from
the top of the tower on the repair car,
and the result was he received two se
rious cuts on the head, one of them being
quite a severe gash over the forehead.
Whin picked up and carried to his home
at Price and New Houston streets he was
unconscious.

THE MOKMxNU .NEW S: SATUKDAY, AUGUST 3, 1893.
LOOKS LIKE A VACANT OFFICE.
Chimney Contractor MeEvoy Falls
to Conte ( y W ith Ills 910 Fine.
Chimney Contractor T. J. MeEvoy has
been notified that he Is wanted at the
clerk of council's office to pay the fin--
imposed upon him by the council two
weeks ago. but up to last night he had not
showed up. Besides being under charges
for misconduct In office, MeEvoy is di
rected to square up his previous account
with the city of show- cause why he shall
not turn over his office. From the evi
dence in possession of the council, which
was pretty thoroughly look, and Into by the
committee on city lots before the charges
were preferred, it looks as if MeEvoya
chances for serving out his term are slim.
Unless he pays his fine before the next
meeting of council his office will be de
clared vacant and another city job will
be open for aspiring office seekers.

known to the many older residents of Sa

VANDERBILT TIG OF W AR.
Mrs. W illie K.'s Ball W ill Decide Her
standing In the Four Hundred.
From the Chicago News.
Newport, R. I.—After twenty years of
exclusiveness almost equaling that of
lords and dukes and earls, Mrs. Alva S.
Vanderbilt, it seems, has decided that
New York society Is a pretty good and de
sirable thing, after all, and worthy of a
little cultivation.
In the old days few were the weeks she
deigned to give to the wonderful palaces
on Fitfh avenue and at Newport. Her de
light seemed to be In cruising In strange
seas with a goodly and well chosen com
pany, over whom she queened it right
royally.
Since the "late unpleasantness’’ the
beautiful yacht Valiant, which was built
to replace the Alva, Is no longer under her
command and she Is wisely concluding to
find for herself new pleasures and new
Interests.
It Is said by those who ought to know
that the grand ball she proposes giving at
Marble house in honor or the formal de
but of her pretty daughter. Miss Consuelo
is really for the purpose of making her
own reappearance in society. She wishes
to find out just exactly where she stands
In the long list of the "I0O” and just how
many people are willing to desert the
powerful and popular family of Vander
bilt for love of her. That it will be to
choose between the two factions no one
doubts for a moment. A bitter struggle
will be waged In the fair city by the sea
during the weeks when life seems best
and bravest to all on the outside.
It promises to be a struggle as bitter as
that which drove William Waldorf Astor
across the sea forever. England gave him
what free American could not and decreed
that as the eldest son of an eldest son he
was head of the Astor family, and that
was what the quarrel was about.
With Newport again as the arena, a
second battle will be fought between .he
members of a family famous, like the As
ters, for the their rich, red gold. It Is
predicted by those who know much of life
and of people that the result will be the
same, and that at the end of this season
Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt will remove her
charming self, her daughter and her lares
and penates to the land of good Queen
Vic.
But there will be plenty of fun for the
lookers-on In the meantime, and many
are perfectly willing to hurrah for thy
winner, whichever it be.
As an evidence of good faith and of her
having become in reality one of the peo
ple Mrs. Vanderbilt has decreed that the
walls around Marble house are to fall
and the heretofore vulgar crowd will be
permitted to feast their hungry eyes up
on the cold, white walls of the palace
and speculate as to the cost of draping
the 100 or more windows with their filmy,
real lace curtains.
Down will go the gates with the fence,
and this will do away with Mrs. Van
derbilt's very unique and thoroughly orig
inal manner of receiving her guests. Wioi
Marble house was opened for the first
time, two years ago, the gates were kept
religiously locked and there were two
Swiss peasants dressed in their quaint,
national costume stationed in picturesque
little lodges on either side of the driie.
Their sole duties were to find out the
name of the occupant of the carriage and
telephone It to the house. The answer
came back as to Mrs. Vanderbilt's re
ceiving or not receiving the guest that
day.
It is needless to say that the innovation
was not adopted by the rest of the New
port colony, and most of the would-be
guests, after waiting twenty minutes or
more for permission to enter, never tried
a second time to find the fair mistress of
the wonderfully beautiful mansion.
All of the hidden glories are to he gen
erously displayed this summer, and In
stead of the stately and somewhat formal
musicals which were Mrs. Vanderbilt's
only contribution to social gayety in the
old days, there will be dinners, dances
bicycle meets and a grand ball to which
many will be bidden.
The great rooms of Marble house re
quire a great number of people to fill them-
In the grand ball room the "WO" would
hardly make a comfortable crowd, so it is
not likely that very exclusive entertain
ing will be undertaken.
Who of the powerful New York people
would be her guests is a question which
is puzzling a great many people. The
Vanderbilt family is so firmly Intrenched
socially and has won and kept so manv
friends since entering society that the
course they pursue toward Mrs. Alva Van
derbilt will probably be adopted by half of
the swell set.
It is said that the occupants of Marble
house are to be completely ignored bv
the Cornelius Vanderbilt family at their
New Breakers, and by Frederick Vander
bilt at Rough Point. Mrs. John Jacob
Astor. the beautiful voting leader is the
close friend of Mrs. W. Seward Webb
and she has espoused the Vanderbilt side'
On the other side will be arranged Mr and
Mrs. William Jay, the Duers and the Bel
monts, alt social powira and extremely
popular people.
Those who will have the best of the sea
son undoubtedly nre the neutral people,
who take no sides, but are perfectly de
lighted to accept the hospitality of both
factions and are rather glad on the whole
that the tbs of friendship are not close
enough to force them Into taking aides one
way or the other.
