Special Excurnion to Nummuu
Havana.
We call attention to the fact that there
will be a grand special and very attractive
excursion to Nassau and Havana, by the
Savannah, Nassau and Havana Mail Steam
ship Line,. The popular side-wheel steam
ship Sau Jachito will leave her wharf on
Tuesday, March 26th, at 3 p. in., reach St.
Augustine the 27th a. m., arrive at Nassau
on March 29th a. m. Leave Nassau p. m.
29th, arrive at Havana March 31st a. m.
Returning will arrive in Savannah on April
5 a. in. The price of return tickets
has been put at sixty dollars to Nassau,
seventy dollars to Havana, and include
state room, berths and meals on the steamer
and first class board at hotels in Nassau and
Havana, also carriage drives while in Nassau
and Havana. The programme offers two
excursions—one to Nassau, only remaining
five days, including board at the Royal
Victoria Hotel,and three different excursions
in carriages to different parts of the island;
the other excursion to Havana remaining
one day, with similar privileges. This is
certain fy a most excellent arrangement, and
no pleasanter ^‘asou for making an excur
sion could be desired. We refer to the ad-
\ertiseinent, and would slate that those
wishing further information can obtain the
same from the agents, Messrs. Hunter &
Gammell.
Fire oil the Central Railroad—Cotton
Burned.
On Monday evening as a freight train,
comprising a number of flat Gars loaded
with cotton, was passing No. 7)^, about live
miles below Milien, it was discovered that
several of the cars were on fire. The train
was at once stopped and the cars detached.
The tire had, however, gotten a good start
and the cotton burned so rapidly, accelera
ted by a good breeze, that it was impossible
to extinguish the flames, and six cars with
about two hundred and forty bales of cotton
were destroyed. It is supposed that the
cotton caught fire from sparks from a sta
tionary engine in use by the company at
Milien.
The ^Kin*drcl*.
Simmons, Slocum & Sweatnam’s Min
strels gave their farewell performance at
the Theatre last evening to a fine audience.
An entirely new programme was presented
which was well carried out. The specialties
were most ludicrous and were received with
uproarious applause. The excejior quartette
sang several selections with fine effect and
were enthusiastically encored. The com
pany is as we have said, a good one, and we
are sure will be greeted with crowded houses
in Charleston, whither they go.
Georgia Hussars.
The Georgia Hussars, at their meeting last
night, decided not to accept the invitation
of the Richmond Hussars to visit Augusta
on the occasion of the laying of the corner
stone of the Confederate monument. A
committee were appointed to make arrange
ments to remove the remains of Private
Waddell, who died during the epidemic of
1876, from J.aurcl Grove Cemetery to the
company’s lot at Bonaventurc. As soon as
the committee report that the arrangements
are complete, the troop will escort the body
to its last resting place.

BODY OF MR. ELTZ RECOVERED
Verdict of Suicide by Coroner** Jury.
Yesterday morning a colored man by the
name of Toby Robinson, whilst going down
the river in his boat discovered the body of
a man, on the shore, about a quarter
of a mile this side of Fort Jackson. He
had been told before starting that a man
had been drowned, and was asked to keep a
lookout for the body and was observing the
shore closely when he discovered it. He
at once secured the body and brought it
back to the city, lauding at the Barge Office,
when the Coroner was notified.
Dr. Chisholm at once repaired to the
office when notified and empanneling a jury
proceeded to hold an inquest.
Toby Johnson was examined and gave
testimony establishing the facts above
stated.
Patrick McGuire, the night watchman at
the wharf of the Savannah, Charleston
and Florida Steamboat Company, was
swom, and testified as follows : About nine
or a little after on Wednesday night, I ob
served a man walking across the wharf,
whom I supposed was looking for the
steamer Dictator, when he suddenly returned
walking towards the ship : I started to see
what he was after,but before I reached him I
heard a splash, and running to the point from
whence the sound proceeded, saw a man
paddling in the water with his hands; after
looking around and discovering there was
nothing to throw him, I ran back to the of
fice and got a piece of rope which I threw
to him and which circled his head: I
called to him several times to catch
it, but he made no attempt to do
so: about the sami time a colored boy
came running up and asked rne what was
the matter: 1 told him a man had got over
board, and requested him to swim and put
no am, anu requested nun to swim auu pui
the rope over his head: he said he could not
swim; I then called to the steam tuy Bach
elor, which was then lying at Mr. Murray’s
dock; there was no one aboard but the fire
man, a colored boy: he came forward but
gave no assistance: the man floated from
the slip where he fell in about sixty feet,
and then sunk, whilst we were making ef
forts to save him with the rope: this was the
last I saw of him; he did not appear to be
injured,
Charles Gassman testified that he had been
in the habit of seeing Mr. Eltz nearly
ever}* day, and had never noticed any
thing unusual in his manner; always
thought he was doing a very fair busi
ness; on Monday night, whilst going to
a meeting, I called by his place and asked
him if he was going and he suid yes, and
took his hat and came with me; I asked him
how his business was: he said very good, but
that he had let himself into somebody else’s
business (meaning Juchter) regarding some
insurance, and thought lie would be sum
moned as a witness, but he thought it would
not amount to much: I asked him no further
questions, and after leaving the ball saw
him but hail no conversation with him;
I saw him about 6 o’clock on Wednesday
evening at Mr. Kreeger’s; Mr. Kreeger said
if he had any one in his store he would go
ami take a glass of beer; I said that Eltz
would keep store, which he did; we went
out and on our return Eltz left the store
without saying a word, and that was the last
I saw of him.
Henry F. Suiter, clerk for Mr. Eltz, testi
fied: On Wednesday night Mr. Eltz left the
store without giving information where he
was going; I waited until half-past twelve
o’clock, when, he not returning, I closed
the store: on Thursday morning 1 opened as
usual, but heard nothing of him the entire
day; about eight o'clock Thursday night 1
informed Mr. Krieger and Mr. W. C. Clark
of his absence j on Friday morning I saw Mr.
Arnold Seyden, who informed me he had
been at his place on Barnard street between
nine and ten o’clock, and also Mr. Brooke,
who informed me he had seen him at eight
o’clock on Broughton street going towards
Yamacraw; about nine o’clock VV ednesday
night he was at Mr. Helmken's place
on Exehauge wharf taking a glass
of ale; on Monday or Tuesday night
he was standing ’in the door when
Mr. Strasser passed and asked him
him how he felt; he said he felt very well if
people would not trouble him; when he left
the house he had no other articles with him
than those that were found on his person;
he was not in the habit of staying out late
at night, and only did so occasionally.
J. 11. Helmken testified: On Wednesday
night about nine o'clock Mr. Eltz came into
my store and asked for a glass of beer, which
I gave him, at the same time telling him it
was strange to see him under the bluff at
that time of night; he answered that he had
just beeu to see a friend of his; I made
some other remarks, to which he did not
reply, and immediately left the store; he
seemed -all right and was not under the in
fluence of liquor; lit* showed no money;
simply placed a nickel oil counter for
his beer and left; I don’t know which direc
tion he took; he is generally quite jovial, but
on this occasion said nothing, only came
in and got a glass of beer; this was the first
time I have ever seen him in my place; he
looked worried, and seemed in a hurry.
THE BODY,
which was in a somewhat decomposed cort
dition, the face being totally black and unre
cognizable, was examined. There were no
marks of violence found. On the person
was found the gold watch and chain of Mr.
Eltz, and also some papers, by which
identification was rendereiUeasy.
After consideration of the testimony, the
jury, composed of J. L. Connolly, \V. Sulli
van, James Keane, II. F. Graman, Thps.
Kemev, Wm. Hayes, and Jas. Larkie, ren
dered the following
verdict:
“We, the jury, find that the deceased,
Constantino Eltz, came to his death by sui
cide, having drowned himself on Wednes
day night, the 13th of March, 1878.”
The body was turned over to Mr. Gassman,
President of the German Friendly Society,
by the Coroner, who placed it in charge of
Mr. Goette, the undertaker, to be prepared
for burial.

mott, but remarked that he did not care for
the beer and would drink no more. The car
penter proceeded on to the vessel. After
they came out of the saloon and started
for the ship, McDermott said he wanted to
stop at a certain house. Orr told him
that he had better come on, as it was getting
late. He said he would not remain long,
and asked the mate to wait for him, which
at last hu consented to do. McDermott re
maining in the house some time, Orr went
in and called him to come on, and
finally he came out, but the woman who
was in the house was jawing with the
deceased. After they had proceeded
a short distance a bottle was thrown at
them by the woman, when McDermott
stooped’down and picking up a small stoue
threw it back. In a second afterwards On-
said he heard a low whistle, and taking
McDermott by the arm told him to come
along or the police would be after them,
and he would deliver him up. Thev
resumed their walk, Thos. Nicholson, a
seaman on the Lady Dufferin, having joined
them at the house, when suddenly foot
steps were heard behind them,and they were
attacked by negroes with sticks. McDermott
was knocked down, Orr was struck several
times, but managed to ward off some of
the blows running, all the time and not per
ceiving that McDermott had fallen. He
weakened, however, and had to sit
down, when Nicholson came up and
said Dan had been killed. Orr went
back to him aud found him lying on the
sidewalk. He called him by name, but he
ditl not answer, and he perceived he was
dead. He was very weak himself, and re
quested Nicholson to get 6ome one to take
him to the vessel in order that he might
send after Dan. He did not then know
that he had been cut himself, and thought
the pain in his shoulder was from a blow
given by the club.
He says he would not be able to recognize
their assailants or any of the parties as he had
not beeu in the locality before.
His wound is doing quite well and he was
anxious to get up yesterday aud go to his
ship, which was cleared for Liverpool and
will sail this morning, but the surgeon
attending strongly disapproved of it.
and stated that if he did so the conse
quences would be with himself. Mr. Orr,
who is very anxious to reaeh his home in
New Brunswick, said he would take the
risk, and about half-past twelve o’clock was
making his preparations to leave for the
ship, when he was served with a summons
detaining him as a State witness. Capt. An
drews, commanding the bark, stated that
the British Consul notified him that he could
not take Orr. as he was a witness, and must
be kept where he could be found when
wanted.
Mr. Orr’s uncle, in New Brunswick, is
owner of the bark Tikoma, and he appre
hends his family will be very uneasy w hen
they find he is not on her.
With quiet and good nursing it is thought
he will now recover, but any exercise or ex
ertion, in the opinion of the physicians, is
^ I i • any.
dangerous and may result fatally.
SAVANNAH BONDS.
What Au^UKta Holder* Think About
the Oiler by the C ity of Savannah -
Nobody Will Accept.
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
About five hundred thousand dollars city
of Savannah bonds are held in Augusta, and
much interest is felt here, consequently, in
regard to the action of Savannah in refer
ence to the bonds. A Chronicle reporter
called on several prominent bondholders
yesterday, in order to ascertain their
views in reference to the settlement
proposed by the City Council of Sa
vannah, namely: the issuance of new
bonds of the same face value as those now
in existence, maturing in thirty years from
January, 1879, aud bearing interest, payable
semi-annually, as follows: For the first ten
years, three per centum per annum; for the
second ten years, four per centum per an
num; for the third and last ten years, six
per centum per annum—the matured cou
pons also to be funded in the same manner.
Mr. John J. Cohen said he was not in favor
of any oomDromisc. and he didn’t
think’ any of the boudhoIuCTi Augusta
were.
Mr. Curry said he had no idea of agreeing
to such an arrangement. He had some
past due coupons to Savannah to be sued.
He had received the following letter from
bis attorneys;
Savannah, Ga., March 8,1878.
Mr. George P. Curry, Augusta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Yours of 7th insfc. received to
day. On yesterday we took judgment in the
Superior Court, after striking pleas of the
city, in four cases aggregating in principal
sums $346, with interest on each coupon
from its maturity. These cases were ap
pealed from the Justice's Court before exe
cution was issued. There are five other
cases now pending in our Superior Court,
where the city waited until levies were made,
and then in each case filed an affidavit of
illegality, alleging that the property levied
on could Pot be sold. The position ot the
City Council is that no property belonging
to the city can be sold under judg
ment against it—a position which we
think quite as untenable as it
is novel. When these affidavits of illegali
ty came up yesterday the court granted the
city more time, and the case will be called
again in a few days. The city’s counsel
stated that the city projmsed to have the
Superior Court pass upon the question
raised by these affidavits. The policy of the
city is to tight to the bitter end all creditors
who push and will not compromise. This
course is pursued without reference to the
class or character of the bonds and coupons
We believe that we will collect eventually
all of your coupons, but that your cases will
go to the Supreme Court before such collec
tion is made. You understand, of course,
that it is in the power of a defendant to de
lay considerably the collection of ji perfect
ly valid claim.
Very respectfully vours,
A. K & S. B. Adams.
Mr. J. W. Coskery said there were $500,000
of the bonds held in Augusta, and he didn’t
believe $1,000 would be compromised in the
way proposed. He would sooner lose all he
had of them than consent to any such set
tlement.
Mr. D. R. Wright thought Savannah
should have been willing to fund the past
due coupons and let the bonds themselves
remain as at present. He was opposed to
the settlement.
Mr. 11. H. Hickman said he was satisfied
that the bondholders would prefer to take
80 cents on the dollar for their bonds than
new bonds at 3 or 4 per cent., which would
really be worth nothing. He saw no reason
for exchanging the bonds. Those now held
bv the bondholders were surrounded by bet
ter guarantees than could be attached to the
new. After the old bonds were given up and
the new issued, the city of Savannah might
say it had no authority to issue them, and
thus get rid of the whole debt.
We understand that coupons to the amount
of $4,500 were sent to Savannah yesterday,
to be sued. .
Ship Building at St. Yfary’*, Georgia.
Editor Morning Ncicc It seems only
a few months since we cli.onicled the
building aud launch of the steamship
Gladiator, at St. Mary’s, Georgia, yet
it is with much pleasure we place on
record a recent visit to the building yard of
the enterprising firm of S. L. Burns & Co.,
at that favored poiDt, who, encouraged by
the success which attended the launch of
the Gladiator aud her subsequent perform
ances, have, within a year, placed another
and still larger boat on their stocks. We
hope, if possible, to avail ourselves of the
kind invitation of the owners to be present
at the launch of their new boat during the
coming week, and therefore shall not pre
sume to divulge the “ profound secret ”
which ever environs such undertakings until
the ship receives her name and seeks her
destination at the same time; but we cannot
refrain from mentioning some facts which
we gleaned during our visit respecting this
too neglected industry of ship building at
the South.
In reply to our inquiry, “Can you build
such a boat cheaper here than at the North?”
one of the firm replied: “Undoubtedly,
and, further, get unquestionably better value
for our money. In the first place, we have
all our conveniences at hand and on our
own premises—saw mills, machine shop,
ways and forge: our pick and choice of the
choicest timber, the finest live oak and Geor
gia pine, cut from our own lands and put
into our yard St less than half the cost of
such lumber North, while the copper aud
iron is delivered on our wharf; free ot
freight, New York prices. Our skilled
labor costs us no more than it would
North, and we can utilize with profit our
unskilled labor. But above all, we have the
advantage of seeing the construction of our
boats from kelson to topmast, and the in
tense satisfaction, as in ;he case of the
Gladiator (to which the speaker pointed
with (net nrlilpl L’miu-imr iK.i nn
with just pride), of knowing that no better
or sounder work can be turned out of anv
6hip yard In the country.”
Itopiug to revert to this important subject
at no distant date, we kwait with pleasure
our invitation to the launch of the good
steamer , at 6t. Mary’s, Georgia, X.
