violent death, whilst driving some parties to
a vessel at one of the upper wharves. Va
rious accounts were given of the affair, but
the following information which we obtained
after a thorough investigation we believe to
be correct :
About half-past twelve o’clock yesterday
morning, Capt. < ’. Gannon, of the ship Con
tinental, lying at McAlpiu’s brick-yard, up
the river, employed Sandy McCormick to
drive him and his first mate up to the ves
sel, which is loading with brick for Charles
ton. The parties left the h itel shortly be
fore one o’clock, at which time it was quite
dark, the sky being clouded over. The yard is
about five miles from the city ; the party
proceeded safely, however, until within a
short distance of the place, when, unfortu
nately, the driver missed the road, and
drove into a large cl*y pit, about six feet
deep, in the vicinity of the brick yard. The
sudden plunge threw the driver from his
seat, his head striking upon an iron rod
which had been left in tbe Dole, inflicting a
fearful and mortal wound in the Mt
temple. The hack, which was badly
smashed, fell upon him, breaking his left
arm in two places. Strange to say the
horses were u ihurt, and the occupants
miraculously escaped with a few scratches.
As soon as they could extricate themselves
they went to the assistance of poor Sandy,
whose groans indicated his whereabouts,
which otherwise, on account of the darkness,
would have been difficult to discover.
He was lifted out, and whilst one of them
remained with the injured man, the other
took a horse and rode rapidly to town for
assistance. A conveyance was at once ob
tained, and the wounded man brought to
the city, bnt died before medical assistance
could be rendered. The body was taken to
his residence on Congress street, near Aber-
corn, and the Coroner was notified of the
ocurrence, but upon investigating the mat
ter and ascertaining that there were
two witnesses, and that death
was the result of accident, considered, under
the law, that he was not called upon to hold
an inquest.
The deceased was a native of Ireland, but
had been in this city for a number of years,
being formerly employed at McConnell’s
European House. He' was about thirty-
seven years of age, and leaves a wife, but no
children, to mourn his terrible fate.
The Theatre.
jieat audiences of the season
ance of Hall’s Combina-
last evening, when the
frof^ the French of D’Ennry
entitled the “Two Orphans,'
was presented. Wawere pleased to Bee such
a house, as the performance was such that
the most hypercritical could only award it
the highest encomiums. We can pronounce
the company, after witnessing the repre
sentation of the “Two Orphans,” as par
excellence, the best dramatic company that
Savannah has seen s'nce the engagement
of Charles Ayndham’s English Comedy
troupe. The play ran through eight acts,
the scenes represented being: The Place
Pont Neuf, with a view of tbe Bridge and
Noti e Dame. Tho Chateau and Gardens|at
Belair, at night. Office of the Minister of
Police. Street and Entrance toj the Church
of St. Sulpice, at Xmas. The Home of Hen
rietta. The Prison of St. Salpetriere. The
Old House on the Banks of the Seine. The
Hotel de Liunieres.
Iu noticing the caste, we scarcely know
where to commence, as wo failed to de.ect
iu the entire performance tho slightest point
upon which sharp criticism could find a
poise. We have no desire to be fulsome iu our
praise of the company, but really it is such a
treat to once more greet upon our boards
a first-class, meritorious combination that
we confess to a tinge of unusual enthusi
asm, aud in what we say we have no doubt
that the intelligent audience present last
evening will fully accord.
The “two orphans,” “Henriette’’ and
Louise,” personated respectively by Miss
Emma Fierce and Miss Ada Gilman, were
most faithfully rendered. We were especial
ly pleased with certain scenes iu which
“Louise” figured, but have not the space or
time now to dwell upon them. Suffice it
that in onr judgment and as compared with
tbe representations of others,Miss Gillman is
without a peer in this character. In the meet
ing between the sisters, Miss Pierce as“Hen-
riette,” appeared to great advantage. The
“Widow Frocbard,” of Sirs. J. H. Rogers,
was a most striking and powerful piece of
acting, aud stamped that lady as an
actress of uncommon talent. Whilst
the character is not a pleasing oup, and
rather jars upon tbe tender sensibilities of
the audience, yet its faithful portraiture
could but excite admiration.
The “Marchioness De Lenniere” of Miss
Minnie Monk was also a capital piece
of acting. 3?oro particularly in
tbe closing scenes, whilst Miss
Agnes Proctor’s “Marianna” enlisted the
sympathies and earnest approval of the
entire house.
Tbe brothers “Jacques” and “Pierre,” by
respectively Mr. E. B. Holmes and Mr.
Harry Lee were very fine produc
tions' “ Count De Lenniere” was
very finely personated by Mr.
George Stoddard, whilst tbe “Armand
Chevalier De Vaudrey, of Mr. Louis L.
James was the most fiuished production we
have had the pleasure of witnessing for a
long time,
We indeed might go through tho entire
caste and find in none of the characters
rendered, anything with which fault
could be found. Aud to sum up our opinion
ol tfie presentation, wo may say that in its
entirety,it was one of the most admirable our
theatre-goers have had the pleasure of wit
nessing since the close of tho war.
This evening will be presented the ex
citing sensational play entitled, “Led As
tray;” and with last night’s performance as
a criterion, we feel safe in promising a rare
treat.
casion. The society was organized in the
early part of 1868, by Rev. George G. N.
MacDonell, then in charge of Trinity
Church, and has raised, during the seven
years of its existence, over thirty-eight
hundred dollars.
The altar was very handsomely decorated
and the edifice crowded with the members
of the Society and their friends, considera
ble enthusiasm being evinced. This was
tho first occasion upon which the classes in
this school have borne banners, and the ef
fect was remarkably favorable. As the
organ pealed forth the various classes,
which had been arranged in order,
marched into the Church bearing aloft
their beautiful banners aDd presenting
a very pleasing spectacle. As the organ
ceased the school joined heartily in the
song “We are Marching to Tby Kingdom.”
Rev. A. M. Wynn then read a lesson from
the Scriptures and offered prayer.
After the singing bv the school of “The
Son sot the Angel Reapers,” Superintend
ent Rogers, to whose zeaions efforts is
mainly due the flourishing condition of the
society and the gratifying success attending
this anniversary celebration, made a report
for the past year, and called upon the
classes, mentioning their mottles and con
tributions. As each c : ass advanced and
handed their contributions to the Superin
tendent, the standard-bearers planted their
banners around the pulpit, forming a pretty
and artistic picture. The following is a list
of the classes and their mottoes :

G. Haygood, Sunday School Secretary for
the M. E. Church South, addressed the au

usefulness of Sunday Schools, and gave

Martial Astronomer*.
In our notice yesterday morning regard
ing the recent conjunction of Mars and Sa-
tnrn, the compositor made two changes
from the original manuscript that produced
quite a stultifying effect upon the context.
As tho two planets were in conjunction on
Sunday night, they were at their least ap
parent distance from each other, Mars ba
ng below. The compositor made us say,
•to-night he will be seen still nearer,” while
in tbe manuscript it was “still near.”
In the latter part of the article we spoke
of “J/artial astronomers,” of course re far
ing to such as might be supposed to dwell
on Mars. The compositor made it “martial
astronomers,” giving to them a belligerent
character for which we decline to assume
any responsibility. The planet of War re
ceived its name from its blood-red color. We
are unwilling to ascribe to its astronomers
any bloody deeds, until the investigating
compositor brings us his evidence.
Slight Fire.
About half-past seven o’clock last evening
an alarm of fire was sounded from station
No. 15, corner of Broughton and Price
streets, which was occasioned by the dis
covery of smoke issuing from the attic-
room of the frame tenement at the southeast
corner of Habersham and Congress streets,
occupied by Mr. Leach. How the fire origi
nated is not defimlely known, bnt its early
discovery pre^^Kpd' any serious disaster.
A portion of tn^Woof was burned, but the
flames were extinguished with a few buckets
of water, although the fire apparatus was
on the ground aud ready for service. We
were informed that no one was in the house
but a little girl and a baby, who, at the first
alarm, seized the little one and made for the
street.
A Lip Biter— Pleasantries Among Colored
Troops.
Robert Jackson, colored, was enjoying
himself in a bar-room on Drayton street,
Sunday night, when Ed. Burke, colored,
came in, and before many minutes the two
were fighting, the enmity engendered by an
old score being revived. In the melee
Jackson bit off nearly the whole of the upper
lip of Burke, and Burke struck Jackson
with a chair, inflicting an ugly cut between
the nose and eye. Burke appeared before
Magistrate Elsinger and bad a warrant
issued for the arreat of Jackson, who was
apprehended and gave bonds for his appear
ance.
Going Back on the Old Man.
Joe Bagley, Jr., an enterprising young
darkey, stole a silver watch and pair of
pants from his father. Young Joe has been
a very bad boy, and this last exploit was
rather too much for old Joe, and he appear
ed before Magistrate Patterson and had a
warrant issued for his son’s arrest. The
youngster was shortly apprehended and
brought into the judicial presence, when
he burst into tears, but “old Joe" was inex
orable and the magistrate committed him

THE LATE CITY .SHERIFF.
Respect to the Memory of Mr.
Habersham.
Upon the opening of the City Court yes
terday afternoon, Mr. John D. Carter, as
one of the members of the bar, arose and
addressed the court, in substance, as fol
lows :
l May ii please the Court: On the right and
on tho left of your Honor are the emblems
of mourning, entwining the batons of au
thority—the sad signs that pale death,
which knocks with equal pace at the portal
of the palace aud the door of the cottage,
has invaded this temple and thrown the aw
ful shadow of his presence over tbe precincts
of this court. One familiar to this place is no
more; a faithful officer and good citizen
will be known in this room and in the walks
of Ufe, no more forever. I allude to Cap
tain Robert R. Habersbam ? a valued
resident of Savannah and an efficient officer
of th’s Court, whose body this afternoon has
been returned to mother earth. As a genial
gentleman, he was honored and admired by
all whose privilege it was to eDjoy his friend
ship and to know him ; as the ministerial
officer of this - Court, faithful, prompt and
courteous iu the discharge of duties delicate
and often unpleasant, he was esteemed aud
respected by all classes ot his fellow citi
zens, to whom he was wide’y known and
with whom he was universally popular
through the years of his public service. In
respect to his memory, aud as a fitting tri
bute to his character as a gentleman, bis
worth as a citizen »Dd his fidelity as an offi
cer, by request of his fellow officers, I re
spectfully move your Honor to adjourn
this Court for such period as your Honor
may deem meet.”
Judge Chisholm stated that the Court had
heard with deep regret of the demise of
Sheriff Habersham, and the same action as
proposed in the motion had suggested itself
to the Court. He then paid a very compli
mentary, though highly deserved tribute to
the worth of the deceased as a gentleman and
an officer, and that in respect the Court
would be adjourned until Monday week.
There was, however, necessity for some ac
tion previous to adjournment, aod that was
the appointment of an officer to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of the
Sheriff. The Judge thereupon read an or
der appointing Deputy Sheriff Anton Graeffe
as Sheriff until the election or appointment
of a Sheriff. The oath was then adminis
tered to Sheriff Graeffe, and the Court ad
journed.
laid the corner stone of their new hall,
which is in course of erection on Broughton
street, near Houston.
Shortly after two o’elock the members of
the company, in uniform, assembled at
their old hall, where a procession,
in which was included the steamer
and carriages, was formed, and beaded
by the Savannah Guards Baud,
proceeded on a parade through the princi
pal streets, reaching the location of the
new hall about four o’clock, where prepara
tions were at orce made for laying the cor
ner stone. Quite a large number of persons
were present; among them we noted Chief
Blair, Alderman M. H. Meyer, Clerk of
Council E. A. Silva, Capt. Wm. Hone, a
veteran of the company; Mr. J. J. Abrams,
the orator of the occasion, and many
others. After the company had been formed
around the foundation, Secretary Nolan
read the list of articles which had been con
tributed for deposit in the corner stone.
The box containing these articles was then
planed in the stoue by Chief Fireman Blair,
after which the stone was securely builded
upon. When this work was completed, the
band enlivened the occasion with music,
and as the strain’s died away. Foreman C.
E. Wakufield mounted the “ramparts,” and
briefly noting the cause of their gathering,
introduced Sir. J. J. Abrams, who delivered
the following
ADDRESS :
Gentlemen of the Washington Fire Company:
Ladies and Gentlemen : We have assem
bled here to-day for the purpose of laying,
with fitting ceremonies, the eorner stone of
a building to be devoted to the use of the
Washington Fire Company.
As we plant it firmly in its earthen bed a
sincere prayer should" asetnd from the lips
and hearts of all here present, for the early
completion and lasting permanence of the
building. Tiro practice of investing an
occasion like the present with certain fea
tures of interest and solemnity has pre
vailed through all ages, and among all peo
ple. It denotes a recognition common to
humanity of the briefness of our earthly
pilgrimage, and the earnest longing of the
soul to perpetuate the monuments of our
labors and the history of our lives.
Long after the speaker and his audience
have passed forever from the scenes we love
so well, the light of heaven will continue to
shine ui ou the building inaugurated to-day,
and when at last it falls a victim to the ruth
less ravages of time, and tbe stone which
we now place so firmly is unearthed, with it
will be unrolled tbe record which will tell to
a curious posterity the story of to-day’s pro
ceedings. Gentlemen of the Washington
Fire Company, the work in which you are
engaged is a noble one; surely there is no
grander contemplation than that which
reveals the spectacle of a band of men united
in an honorable cause—a cause for which
ambition kindles not the fires that inflamed
the passionate action, nor fame
incites to visions of future glory. The ap
proving smiles of men and women and the
commending planditsof admiring humanity,
these are not for the triumphant victor.
Naught but duty urges, and naught are hi6
save “the conscionsness of duty well per
formed.” It is vour just pride, gentlemen,
that yours is an organization of this char
acter. Ambition with her golden dreams,
fame with her gorgeous promises and
allurements of the pleasure, the hope of
power and of wealth, these incite you not to
active duty. Strict duty marks out the un
bending line, shapes your actions and di
rects your efforts. The sound of the alarms
calls you from happy homes in the still hour
of the night, to do battle with the fire fiend
in yonr effort to protect the property of
your fellow-citizens.
Falter not, then, in your noble and holy
work. Let the record you have attained in
the past, strengthen your bonds aud move
your hearts to still greater achievements in
the future ; and, after your beautiful build
ing has been erected, after it has crumbled
into dust, and after the centuries have roiled
by, may the Washington Fire Company con
tinue to survive animosities by the spirit,
the courage and the pluck which prevails iu
its ranks to-day.
Mr. Abrams’s address was received with
enthusiasm ; and, the applause subsiding,
Foreman Wakefield again took the “bricks,”
aud exteuded an invitation to the friends of
the company to join them in a sociai glass
at their hall.

which they were such useful and prominent
actors.
After several other toasts, sentiments and
remarks, the assemblage adjourned with
the best wishes for th i success and pros
perity of the gallant old Washington Fire
