Prof. R. H. Graves, principal of the above
named well-known military institute, located
at Hillsboro, N. C., is in our city on a visit.
This institution has large and commodi
ous buildings and an excellent corps of Pro
fessors, and is equal in every respect to any
in the country. The spring session begins
on the 17th proximo. Among the students
now in attendance are several from this
city, sons of prominent citizens, who speak
in the highest terms of the institution. We
can, from the information given us, com
mend the Hillsboro Military Academy to
the lavorable consideration of the par
ents who have sons whom they may desire
to have receive an excellent military aud
collegiate education. The advertisement

New Year’* Eve Bali.
On New Year’s eve (Friday uext) Wash
ington Steam Fire Engine and Hose Com
pany will give a grand ball at Masonic
Temple. The Committee of Arrangements,
determined that their friends shall
enjoy themselves on this occasion,
have been unremitting in their en
deavors to render the affair worthy
of the reputation the company enjoy for
sociability and pleasure. There is no doubt
the ball will prove a success, and he pro
ductive of much pleasure. So, if you lovers
of the Terpsicborean services desire “to
trip” the old year out and the new year in.
secure your tickets at once. We tender our
acknowledgments to the committee for a
kind invitation to be present.
Ketlef for the Afflicted.
The sojourn of Dr. 8. S. K. Dunshee in
our city offers a favorable opportunity for
those afflicted with any form of hernia to
obtain relief. Dr. Dunshee has been very
successful throughout the country with Dr.
Marsh’s Radical Cure Truss, which, it is
claimed, is the best appliance ever intro
duced for tho purpose. In addition to his
stock of trusses, ho also has on hand an as
sortment of silk elastic stockings, belts and
suspensory badges. He gives advice gratis,
and it will be well for those afflicted to call
and consult him. He is stopping at tho
Marshall House, and will remain here but a
few days longer. Read the advertisement
which appears elsewhere.
The Benefit Last Night.
The complimentary benefit tendered last
evening at the Theatre to Capt. Peter La-
Rose was conducted exclusively by the Ward
Combination. From some cause the volun
teer musical celebrities did not make their
appearance. A fair audience was present,
but many who had purchased tickets were
prevented from attending by other engage
ments. The combination, however, made
amends by giving a *ery capital entertain
ment, which afforded general satisfaction.
We did not learn the amount realized.

At the meeting of the St. Vincent de Paul

SCALING THE CITY’S EXPENSES.
Interesting Report of the Retrenchment
Committee of Connell.
The special committee of Council, ap
pointed to suggest means of retrenchment
(under resolution adopted at the last meet
ing of Council), by which the city's ex
penses may be reduced for the ensuing
year, submitted their report at the meeting
last night, as follows:
Your committee have gone carefully
over each department of the city govern
ment, and hive endeavored to make the re
dactions as equally as possible, but the
financial condition of the city make it im
perative that we should reduce our ex
penses and exercise the most rigid economy
m the management of our city affairs. We
therefore recommend the following
CHANGES.
1. That the office of Recorder be abol
ished, and that the Mayor shall receive, as
compensation in full for bis services to the
city, $3,000 per annum.
2. That the office of Assistant Treasurer
be abolished.
3. That the City Marshal’s salary be re
duced to $1,700 per annum.
4. That the Harbor Master’s salary be re
duced to $1,200 per annum.
5. That the office of Second Lieutenant of
Police be abolished, and that the “Rules and
Instructions for the Government of the
Police,” be so altered as to make it the duty
of the Chief of Police and the First Lieu
tenant to alternate in discharging the duties
of officer of the guard.
Also, that no new appointments be made
in the police force until the number is re
duced by removals, resignations, death or
other causes, to sixty privates.
6. That the pay of the men employed at
Laurel Grove Cemetery he reduced to $1 75
per day, and the number reduced to four.
7. That the pay of the foreman of the
street and lane hands be reduced to $3 per
day and the horse now used by him be
turned over to the City Marshal for sale and
the number of hands employed on the
streets aud lanes be reduced to the lowest
possible number that the work will allow.
8. That the salary of the assistant City
Dispon.-ary officer he reduced to $600.
9. That the salary of the Superintendent
of water works be reduced to $1,600 per
annum.
10. That the salary of the Assistant Su
perintendent and Engineer of the water
works be reduced to $1,320 per annum.
11. That the salary of the second assis
tant engineer of the water works be re

Yonug Men's Literary Association.
The usual meeting of this association was
held last evening, which was well attended.
Mr. Peter Donelan, on motion, occupied the
chair.
A lucid and interesting essay on the labor
question was delivered bv Mr. J. S. L. Bar
bour, wherein ho showed it was from the
lack of intelligence and association that
capital enjoys such monopoly and the
masses are reduced to mere serfs—“drawers
of water and hewers of wood;” that it is by
morality, and that it was through practical
education alone that man could bring him
self to a sense of his true dignity
and a share of the enjoyments of life.
The question was then announced, viz:
“Ought human physiology be mado a regu
lar study in the common schools ?” It was
argued in the affirmative that the proper
study of mankind is man, and for every indi
vidual to know himself and the laws that
govern*his constitution, for the purpose of
developing muscle, preserving health, pro
longing life and averting doctor’s bjlls. It
being the basis of man’s life and ultimate
destiny, its study cannot be commenced too
early, and that it is the duty of the superin
tendents of education to make the knowl
edge of the science of physiology a qualifi
cation of teachers in common schools. De
cision rendered accordingly. Subject for
next debate: “Is the question of State
rights settled in America ?”
Our New Cltv Sheriff.
As will be observed by the proceedings of
the meeting of Council last evening, onr

one of the most popular young men of Sa
vannah, and as commander of the Savannah
Cadets, an4 in other positions, in times of
war as well as peace, lias given un
mistakable evidence that whatever
duty he undertakes will be well and effi
ciently performed. He will make an excel
lent Sheriff, and we are assured will give
entire sitisfaction to the community. We
understand that Mr. Anton Graeffc, who
has been officiating as Sheriff since the
decease of Mr. Habersham, will retain the
position of Deputy, for which on various oc
casions during the past several years he has
demonstrated hur eminent fitness.

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Engineer
Killed and Several Badly 1
Jared.
The passenger train from Macon dne here
yesterday morning at 7:30 o'clock did not
arrive, and daring the morning reports were
circulated of a terrible accident on the
road. Upon inquiry at headquarters we as
certained that an accident had occurred at
the 124th mile post on the preceding even
ing. Superintendent Rogers was in tele
graphic commnnication with the nearest
station to the scene of accident and fur
nishes ns with the following particulars :
On Tuesday night, as the down night
freight and passenger train from Macon to
Savannah approached a small trestle across
a creek at tne 124-mile post, the engineer,
Mr. John Sweeny, discovered something on
the track. On looking closely he saw, as he
thought, a horse lying down. The animal,
it is supposed, in walking on the track,
started over the trestle work, and, falling
through, got caught in such a manner that
he oonld not extricate himself. The usual
signals were given, but before the train
oould be stopped the engine struck the
transfixed animal, and was thrown off the
track, but ran along the wood work of the
trestle below |the rails, carry
ing two cars with it. As it reached the
embankment it turned completely over,
and the engineer was caught under it and
held in snch a manner that it was impossi
ble to extricate him. In this position the
unfortuuate man remained for over three
hours, the steam pouring foil upon him ail
the time. He was so badly injured that he
died yesterday morning at 6 oYlock. The
fireman, Martin Meyers, was also severely
scalded and suffered various other injuries,
among them a severe strain of the back!
The wood-passer, Mr. Charley Maddox, and
a negro woman, who was on one of the front
cars, were slightly bruised. The engine
(the Allen) and the cars were not damaged
to any extent, and the passengers, of whom
there were quite a number, escaped without
injury.
The up train, which left Savannah
Tuesday night for Macon, encountered tho
wrecked train, when a transfer of passen
gers was made. It returned to Savannah.,
bringing the mails, down passengers, the
remains of the engineer, and the other in
jured ones, reaching here about half-past
one o’clock in the afternoon.
The news of the fatal character of the ac-
oident had spread rapidly, and a large crowd
ot (persons were assembled at the depot
when the train arrived, including many
friends of Mr. Sweeny, who was a very
popular and highly esteemed young man.
The (remains of the deceased engineer
were taken in chargo by some frienda, and
after being properly attended to were car
ried to his late residence on Jones street,
near West Broad. Mr. Sweeny was formerly
associated in the wood business with his
brother-in-law, Mr. Jno. T. Ronan, onr pres
ent county Sheriff, but for some time past
and previous had been in the employ of the
Central Railroad. He was about thirty-two
years of age, and was reputed a most wor
thy and excellent young man. The expres
sion of regret at his terrible death was uni
versal.
Mr. Meyers, who was badly scalded, was
conveyed to his home, aud received proper
medical attention.
From all the circumstances, it seems that
the accident was unavoidable, and no blame
can be attached to any one.
Superintendent Rogers received a dis
patch last evening from the scene of acci
dent stating that the track would be cleared
in time for the passage of the night trains
from Macon and Savannah, and hence there
will be no interruption of travel.

A Swindling Company.
We have noticed daring the past several
weeks that a company called the “Galaxy
Gift Combination” were on a Southern tour,
and were “working” Savannahward. The
Wilmington (N. C.) Journal thus exposes
the concern :
“For several days prior to Christmas, and
on that day also, tho streets and private
residences of the city were flooded with vil
lainous-looking hand-bills, which were to
advertise a performance to take place at the
Opera House on Christmas night, called the
“Galazy Gift Combination.” If the accom
plishment of a stupendous fraud be taken
as sufficient evidence to convict one of
villainy, this “Galaxy Gift Combination”
must be a combinatiou of as sweet-scented
villains as can he met with in a lile time.
“After they had advertised as above indi
cated they commenced to sell tickets for re
served 6eats, which, wo are informed, they
did to the amount of more than two hundred
dollars. The purchasers of these tickets were
victims of misplaced confidence. When
the hour for the performance to commence
had arrived all who repaired to the Opera
House to enjoy the fun and draw a prize
found that hqildiDg in total darkness—and
then the fact became apparent that some
body was ac id.
“Hand the fellows around. Thejjnames
that appeared on this hand-bill are as fol
lows: James Fredrick, Manager; William
Poole, Leader of Orchestra; Nelson Erving,
Advance Agent; John Nelson and William
Vernon, Programme Agents.”

Enterprise-In the Field Again.
Ia passing along Congress street yester
day we noticed that Mr. A. Doyle, who suf
fered such a heavy loss by fire on Christmas
eve, has secured the building adjoining his
late establishment, and is preparing to re
open. With his entire corps, he was busily
engaged in arranging that portion of the
stock on the upper floor which had escaped
destruction, aud already the place assumes
a business aspect. This enterprise on the
part of Mr. jJoyle is commendable, and we
are sure that this community, jn which he
has been a useful citizen and energetic mer
chant for nearly a quarter of a century, will
be pleased to know that he is again on his
feet. It is a fortunate thing that on the
day of the ovening on whioh the fire occur
red Mr. Doyle had a lot of goods on the
wharf, but was unable to secure drays to
haul them to the store; and with this stock,
and the portion saved from the burnt build
ing, he will be enabled to commence busi-
ne.-s again in good style. It is stated that
the insurance company will do a liberal part
by bim, although a clause of the policy was
violated by having the stock of fireworks on
hai;J. We wish Mr. Doyle every success,
ind hope he way continue to receive a libe
ral *hare of patrhnzge. r r
