In the Morning News of yesterday ap
peared an account of the drowning of a
white man from the wharf of the Savannah.
Charleston and Florida Steam Packet Com
pany, foot of Abercom street, at a late
hour on Wednesday night. The name of
the person was not known, and there were
many speculations as to who he was. Early
in the morning it became bruited around
that Mr. Constantine Eltz, proprietor of the
cigar store and saloon ou Congress street,
near Whitaker, had left his place
on Wednesday evening and had not
returned. Suspicion was aroused that
possibly he might be the person
who was drowned. Inquiries were
made by friends of the missing man of the
watchman, whose description of the drowned
person tallied with that of Mr. Eltz, and the
suspicion grew into belief.
Mr. Charles Gasman, President of the Ger
man Friendly Society, and an intimate
friend of Mr. Eltz, at once made arrange
ments to recover the body.
Major Andrews, at the United States Bar
racks, kindly furnished some powder he had
on hand, anil the Chatham Artillery, with
their usual courtesy, loaned one of their
guns to be used in tiring from the wharf,
with the object of causing the body to rise.
The gun was manned by Messrs. T. H. Lyon.
Frank Butler and Thos. Thompson, of the
Chathams: Mr. W. C. Workman, of the Ca
dets. and Mr. Henry L. Davis, of the Ogle-
thorpes, volunteering their assistance. Firing
was commenced at 12 o'clock aiid
continued until nearly three at slight in
tervals, but without accomplishing the pur
pose. Mr. Gasman meanwhile had em
ployed men to go out in boats and drag
along the wharf, but their efforts resulted
iu naught, and it is thought that the body
has been either caught under the wharf or
drifted further down the river.
Mr. Eltz was a native of Cronstadt, Rus
sia, and came to this country some time in
1800, landing at New York, where he re
mained until 1865, when he came to Savan
nah and entered into copartnership with
Mr. Jos. Herechbaeh, under the Ann name of
Herschbach & Eltz, in the saloon and cigar
business. About two years and a half ago
this firm was dissolved, and Mr. Eltz opened
the place on Congress street, which he had
conducted ever since. He was about forty-
five years of age, and was unmarried, lie
was a member of the Savannah Turn
Yerein, the German Friendly Society, aud
Teutonia Lodge, Knights of Pythias.
We understand that he was doing well in
business, and only on Monday night last had
expressed himself pleased with his prospects.
About seven o'clock on Wednesday evening
he left his saloon, telling his barkeeper he
would be back in a short time. He did not
return up to the hour of closing, but the bar
keeper, thinking he possibly had been de
tained by some friends, attached no impor
tance to his absence. The same night, about
a quarter to nine o'clock, a gentleman met
him rambling along Bay street, and, know
ing something of his habits, expressed
surprise at seeing him in that locality
at such an hour. Eltz replied that he was
looking for some one, and passed on. The
last seen of him by any who knew him was
shortly after nine o'clock, when be stepped
into the saloon under the bluff, near the
Exchange, and called for a glass of beer,
which he drank and then left. At that time
he did not appear to be at all under the in
fluence of liquor, and nothing unusual was
observed in his manner. In fact he was not
regarded as intemperate in any degree.
It is stated that he was worried m regard
to certain matters which had no connection
with his business, although his friends do
not entertain the idea that he committed
suicide, and attribute his drowning entirely
to accident; yet are unable to account for
his not making an effort to save himself when
the watchman threw the rope to him.
Up to ten o'clock last night the body had
not been recovered.

ANOTHER VISIT TO BI RCLAB’S
ROOST.
A Queer Cut Hole—Arrest of An
other of the Band—The Wounded
Fugitive Heard From.
In yesterday’s News we gave a full ac
count of the descent of officers Morgan,
Barthelmess and Franklin on “Burglar s
Roost,” in “Soap Factory lane,” and the re
cover} - of two trunks, etc. During Thurs
day night the officers again visited the den
for the purpose of making a further search
of the premises. On this occasion the wife
of Witch Pratt (the burglar who escaped and
was fired at i was interviewed, but she was as
innocent a.** a young lamb. Officer Morgan,
however, went on a tour of observation,
when his attention was attracted to a suspici
ous looking hole in the floor, near a corner
in the room. He asked the woman what
the holu was used for, when she hastily re
plied it was nothing but the cat hole, a
favorite resort, as it were, for her pet tabby.
The floor is only about a foot frtJm the
ground, and officer Morgan being particu-
arlv interested by this curious cat hole,
concluded to investigate its mysteries.
Securing a poker that was in the room, he
introduced it in the hole and commenced
poking around, when presently it struck
something that caused a lively ringing
sound. Satisfied he had made a discover} - ,
he used the poker as a lever, and prizing up
a plank in the floor found a large wrench
bar. fully three feet and a half long, the
kind used iu prizing off heavy bolts, and
which was subsequently identified as
having been stolen from Beach's shingle
mill, where one of the negroes had been
working. This was the implement which
the burglars had used in forcing off the
plank from the warehouse from which the
trunks were stolen. In addition to this, a
number of burglars’ tools, jimmies, chisels,
etc., were extracted from this convenient
cat hole and taken possession of.
After making this successful visit the offi
cers were fortunate in apprehending, in the
same locality, a negro named Sawney Har
ris, a prominent member of the band and
the very negro who had stolen the large
wrench from Beach's mill. Sawney was es
corted to jail, where, for the present, he will
keep company with his fellow, John Burney,
and rest from his enterprising labors.
Early yesterday morning officer Morgan
left the city on a hunt for Witch Pratt, the
negro who escaped on Thursday afternoon,
and was r*hot at as stated in the account
published. He traced Pratt to the house of
a colored man named Jackson living just off
the Louisville road about three miles from
the city. Jackson stated that Pratt had
come to his house about five o’clock on
Thursday afternoon and asked to be allowed
to stay there. He said that some gentlemen
out shooting snipe had accidentally shot him
and that he was unable to go much further.
He had a wound in the small of the back
just above the left thigh, and also
a wound in the fleshy portion of
the left leg, and was bleeding profusely.
Jackson told him that he had seen officers
Morgan and Barthelmess out that way a
short time before, and did not believe his
story, and not wishing to get in trouble him
self j could not allow an escaped prisouer to
stay in his house. Pratt then left, and was
traced a short distance by the blood that
dripped from his wound, when all trace of
him was lost. It is probable he is concealed
in the woods in the vicinity, but his wounds
will compel him to come to the city for re
lief, even at the risk of being arrested, and
we expect next to hear that he is at the
hospital.
A Valuable €-ift to the Educational
Caune.
As our readers are aware, for some years
past, the Board of Education have had
under lease the large building corner of
West Broad and Orange streets, known as
the O'Byrae property, for use as a colored
school. The lease is about expiring, and
the President of the Board of Education was
lately notified by the present owners that it
could not be renewed, as the property was
to be. sold, an offer having been made for it.
The Board were greatly disturbed by this
notification, as it is difficult to obtain
another building equally suited for the
purpose for which it is used. There
was but little time for deliberation,
as we understand the parties were
anxious to sell without delay, and did not
wish to lose the offer of five thousand dol
lars that had been made, though they were
willing to give the Board the refusal at that
price. While the subject was under consul
tation, the case was incidentally mentioned
to Mr. G. W. J. DeRenne, anil regret ex
pressed that the Board, for want of immedi
ate funds, would have to abandon the
school, Mr. pe Remit,, we hear, inquired
what price had been asked, and oq being
informed five thousand dollar*, promptly
notified the President of the Board of Edu
cation that he would give four thousand
five hundred dollars cash, and authorized
him to make this offer. This was done and
the offer accepted, and Mr. DeRenne an
nounced his intention of presenting the
building to the Board of Education, and the
necessary arrangements for the transfer
are now being made. The Board have been
paying six hundred dollars per annum for
this building, and have had to keep it in re
pair under tfiu terms qf their lease. This
munificent act of Mr. Dekenbe, voluntarily
and modestly performed, will be appre
ciated by every one who is interested in the
cause of education, as it relieves the Board
of a heavy tax iu the maintenance of the
colored school, aud will enable them to in
crease their present facilities. We under
stand the proposition to call the school
••DeRenne Institution” was firmly declined
by the donor, who stated that lie desired no
such publicity. We meAtiO'n the Entire cir
cumstance without the knowledge of any of
the parties concerned, as we think that such
acts of public charity should be known.
The building was formerly known as the
Scarborough House, having been built by a
wealthy merchant of this city of that name,
who was one of the firm that owned the

ing on the northeast corner of Bull and Jones

A Handsome New Armory.
The Cadets and Oglethorpes have secured
the large hall on Bryan street, next to the
corner of Abercom street, for their armory
and drill room. The entrance has been en
larged and the entire interior remodeled,
and is being finished iu the most
thorough and complete style. It
will be provided with handsome
chandeliers and fitted up with every con
venience, and when completed will be
the largest and handsomest military hall
in the city. We understand that a promi
nent citizen, who is noted for his unosten
tatious liberality, is contributing largely to
these improvements.

To What Desperation Evil. Course*
Brought Young Richard Shaw.
Xeir York World.
Richard Shaw, of No. 129 Fifth avenue,
who attempted suicide early Tuesday morn
ing, at No. 120 West Thirty-first street, a
disreputable house kept by Mrs. Carrie
Wilson, was taken before Justice Kilbreth
Wednesday morning. Shaw is a young man
about twenty-two years of age. under the
medium height, and of rah ter] slight build.
A fast life, it is said, has affected his health,
and left its traces stamped upon his face and
countenance.
When young Shaw was taken before the
Judge his head was so bandaged as to cover
and conceal the ugly wound in the left part
of his forehead. The officer said that early
Tuesday morning he was called to No. 120
West Thirty-first street. Going up three
flights of stairs he found Shaw lying on the
floor. The blood from his forehead had
fallen in a pool on the carpet, and by his
side was a small Smith W esson revolver.
The inmates of the house were very much
excited over the occurrence.
Justice Kilbreth asked Shaw if he had
anything to say. The young man replied
shortly that he had attempted to take his
own life and would yet commit suicide,
whereupon His Honor sent the unfortunate
young man to the Sergeant's room to await
the promised visit of his mother.
About noon Dr. Satterlee, accompanied
by a friend, came before Justice Kilbreth
aiid represented that the young man’s moth
er was too ill to come in person, but prom
ised that her son should be placed under
proper restraint, and desired that he be sent
to a hospital. The Justice acceded to the
mother’s wish, and young Shaw, his friend
and Dr. Satterlee entered a private carriage
with a court officer and were driven to Belle
vue Hospital, where the young man was left
in charge of the clerk.
Friends of Richard Shaw say that he is
the son of a wealthy widow who lives at
No. 129 Fifth avenue. He was given every
educational advantage, and when fifteen
years old he was sent to Europe, where he
traveled extensively. Upon nis return to
this country he visited every city of im
portance and ever^ accessible place of in
terest in the United States. For the last
few years he had been very dissipated. The
money left to him had been so eutailed that,
while the bulk of his fortune was placed
beyond his immediate reach, he still had an
ample income. Libbie Osborn, the young
woman concerned, is said to be the daughter
of a planter of Savannah. Ga. She is tall
aud fair-skinned, of slender figure, with
clear blue eyes anil auburn hair.
Her features are delicate and well-
bred looking. Three years ago she says she
graduated at Yassar College, and returned
to her parents in Georgia. After her gradua
tion she was married, but was divorced,
eloped with a lover to this city, and being, of
course, deserted by him after a period, en
tered upon a life of shame, and finally en
tered Mrs. Wilson's estaolishmeut at No.
120 West Thirty-first street, where Shaw met
tier and lost his head on her account. He
even went so far as to propose marriage to
her, but, from whatever reason, she declined.
About two weeks ago Shaw thought he had
reason for jealousy, and there was a scene.
Last Wednesday he again visited the woman,
remaining until Saturday, and Monday
night he returned at a late hour, partially
intoxicated. He intimated that his jealousy
would drive him to suicide, and about 12:30
a. m. he drew and discharged a revolver with
the result as above related.
Libbie Osborn yesterday was very nervous
and excited, and would talk little of the af
fair. She said Shaw never came there so
ber, “but while he often lost his feet he
never lost his head.” She did not believe he
really intended suicide, but drew the revolver
to draw out her sympathy. His wound she
attributed to the unsteadiness of his hand
from the effects of wine.

Tl»e Natter Couctrik.
The series of concerts lately given by Dr.
Gu ; tave Satter was remarkable in several
parricidii 1 ’ 8 ’ which it may be worth while to
noticb,
f'irst—in the smallness of the audiences.
Iu a town of nearly 30,(XX) people, where the
pianofortes, or as they were once better
called forte-pianos, must be counted by
hundreds; where the patience of neighbors
and the ears of passers by are incessantly
wearied by the jangle of ambitious or juve
nile performance on that much abused in
strument; and where there should, by the
ordinary law of proportion, be more than a
thousand lovers of music, the audiences
assembled to hear a great master of that
science fc could be reckoned by units—scanti
ly scattered over the moderate room we dig
nify by the name of Hall.
' Secotul—in the marvellous mastery of his
instrument shown by the performer. One
of the pieces played on the last night, a fine
tour de force of manual dexterity, was a won
derful exhibition of the prodigious supple
ness, strength, and flexibility of the human
hand. Perhaps the finest of the Bridgewater
treatises is Sir Charles Bell's essay on the
Hand; wherein it is argued that its perfec
tion as a mere instrument is sufficient to
prove the existence aud power of its great
creator. Dr. Satter's performance was the
finest illustration and confirmation of the
argument of that famous book—a superb
demonstration of skill and power—a verita
ble “sermon in hands,” preached to ears not
all reached bv pious words.
Third—in the rendering of the composer's
idea. Music requires a skilled interpreter to
convey to untaught minds the author’s
thought—thought sc ethereal anil rare that
words cannot bind, limit, or define it: yet,
nevertheless, so true and pure that the soul
receives, enjoys, and is bettered by it. ’Tis
the science of symbols in sound, with hid
den meaning and much mystery, escaping all
but severe study, revealed only by highest
skill. In listening to this great master, who
has been among us, a man—himself without
knowledge—was nevertheless enabled to un
derstand much unintelligible before: and
thence to recognize in him a true interpreter
of the grand Language of the Inexpressible.

A CAMP OF TRAMPS.
A Pally of Thirteen Arrested—
Twelve Fouud Sleeping In One
Building;.
About twelve o'clock last night mounted
policeman Leach was informed by the chief
engineer of the steamer City of Macon that
a number of tramps were encamped on the
banks of the canal, near the railroad
bridge, and had a large fire burn
ing when he passed them coming uptown
early in the evening. He stated that they
had glared at him fiercely as he passed,
aud from their looks aud threatening man
ner, lie thought they would attack him on
his return to the steamer, aud desired Po-
lieeman Leach to escort him thither.
Sergeant Lee came along shortly
afterwards, and meeting Policeman Leach,
the matter was reported to Liu.. Sergeant
Lee determined to go at once and ascertain
who the parties were, and accompanied by
Policeman Leach, rode rapidly to the place
designated. They fouud one man sitting
by a tire who, upon being questioned, sta
ted that his companions had left for town
to seek shelter. The fellow was taken
in custody, and Sergeant Lee then
returned to town, and, suspecting that the
parties had sought refuge in the vacant cellar
under the ice house of Haywood, Gage &
Co., which is easily accessible and has here
tofore afforded accommodations for these
ramblers, proceeded ai once there, and suc
ceeded in arresting twelve men. Several of
them attempted to make their escape, but
were induced to yield by the intimation that
a “littie barker” would be brought into
requisition.

They were conveyed to the barracks, and
will this morning be brought before the Po
lice Court. It. is to he hoped that the Mayor
will enforce the vagrant law against these
nomads, and put them to some useful work
ou the chain gang. There is no doubt many
of the robberies 'recently perpetrated here
can be attributed to these fellows,
and no effort should be spared to rid the
city of their presence. They are dangerous
to the peace and safety of the community
and if they cannot be banished beyond our
borders, at least the vagrant law can be en
forced against them, and they can be put to
some useful work for the benefit of the city.

An Opeu Letter—It Speak* tor It*ell'.
Rockport, Mass., April 2, 1877.
Mr. Editor: Having read in your paper
reports of the remarkable cures of catarrh,
I am induced to tell “what I know - about
catarrh,’’ and I fancy the “snuff ” and “in-
haling-tube” makers (mere dollar grabbers)
would be glad if they could emblazon a
similar cure in the papers. For twenty-six
years I suffered with catarrh. The nasal
passages became completely closed,
“snuff,” “dust,’’ “ashes,” “inhaling-tubes,”
ana “sticks,” wouldn't work, though at in
tervals I would sniff up the so-called catarrh
snuff, until 1 became a valuable, tester for
such medicines. I gradually grew worse,
and no one can know how much I suffered
or what a miserable being I was. My head
ached over my eyes so that 1 was confined to
my l>ed for many successive days, suffering
the most intense pain, which at one time
lasted continuously for 168 hours. All sense
of smell and taste gone, sight and
hearing Impaired, body shrunken and
weakened, nervous system shattered, and
constitution broken, and 1 was hawking and
spitting seven-eighths of the time. I prayed
for death to relieve me of my suffering. A
favorable notice in your paper of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a
package, and use it with Dr. Pierce's Nasal
Douche, w hich applies the remedy by hy
drostatic pressure, the only way compatible
with common sense. Well, Mr. Editor, it
did not cure me in three-fourths of a second,
nor in one hour or month, but in less than
eight minutes I was relieved, and in three
months entirely cured, and have remained
so for over sixteen months. While usinb
the ( atari h Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce a
Golden Medical Discovery to purify ray blood
and strengthen my stomach, I also kept
my liver active and my bowels regular by
the use of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
If my experience will induce other sufferers
to seek the same means of relief; this letter
will have answered it® purpose. Yours
truly, S. D. ~
