Yesterday morning between 11 and 12
o’clock the serenity of the neighborhood of
Walnut street, near Zubly, was dis
turbed by the report of a pistol from
the house occupied by Thomas E. O’Sulli
van, immediately succeeded by a pierc
ing wail of agony. Considerable excite-
citement prevailed in the neighborhood, and
Mr. Henry Bail, clerk in the store of Mr.
George Wellbrock, on the opposite corner,
rushed over to the house, and, obtaining
entrance, passed through to the rear piazza,
where he found Mrs. O’Sullivan prostrate
on the ground In the yard, and her
husband, Thomas E. O’Sullivan, bend
ing over her. From a terrible wound in her
left temple the blood was flowing freely,
and the poor woman was moaning piteously.
Mr. Bail, with the assistance of the husband,
removed her to the piazza, where he secured a
towel, ami, dampening it, placed it upon the
wound with a view of staunching the flow
of blood. Mrs. O’Sullivan in answer to a
question, replied in a faint voice, “Tommie
has shot me.’’ and then sank into a
state of semi-unconsciousness. A mes
senger was at once dispatched for
a physician, and in a short while
Dr. Charters arrived, and, upon examin
ing the wound carefully, stated that his
services would be of no avail, as the injury
was fatal, and the woman could live but a
few hours. Such relief as was possible was
rendered and tbe physician left. Meanwhile
Mr. Bail went after Policeman Leech, who
lives in the vicinity, and who was off duty.
He found him at home, and the officer
promptly responded, and proceeding to the
house arrested O’Sullivan (who had not left
the premises nor shown any desire to escape)
and carried him to the barracks.
The sceue at the house was most heart
rending. Prostrate on the floor of the
piazza was stretched the form of the
wounded and dying woman, whilst in the
hallway was gathered several female friends
and neighbors, endeavoring to soothe the
weeping children, two of whom were
scarcely old enough to realize their sad
plight, the third and youngest being a mere
infant of eight months. General regret was
expressed over the affair, Mrs. O’Sullivan
seemingly having enjoyed the friend
ship of her neighbors. From Mrs. Webber,
who resides in the adjoining house, the fol
lowing particulars were learned: Mrs. Web
ber heard O’Sullivan quarreling with bis
wife during the early part of the morning,
but paid little heed to it. About eleven
o’clock, whilst Mrs. O'Sullivan was in the
yard washing out some articles for the
baby, O’Sullivan was heard to tell her to
take the child up. She replied that she
could not do so at the time, as she
was engaged, and there was no
necessity for stopping her work. This
apparently incensed O’Sullivan, who
again cotnmaude ' her to take the child.
She declining to do so, he was heard to re
mark something about making her doit,
and entered the house. A few seconds
afterwards he was again heard to re
peat the command about the baby.
Mrs. O’Sullivan said, “Tommie, what did you
get jour pistol for,” he having, it would
appear, secured the weapon when he enter
ed the bouse. Some ether remark was made,
when the report of a pistol was heard, and
then a walk Mrs. Webber did not see
the parties, but heard the talking. After
the pistol was discharged she heard O’Sulli
van saj-, “ Oh, God ! mj- dear wife. I am
s) sorrj-! ” About this time Mr. Henry Bail
had reached the house.
O’Sullivan, it is reported, had been drink
ing for several dajs past, and, although not
regarded as drunk at the time, was proba
bly suffering from the effects of his spree.
When 6ober, it is said, he treated his family
well.
Mrs. O'Sullivan died at 3 o’clock this
morning.

Arrival of the Excursionists— A List
of the Party—A Pleasant Time An
ticipated.
The special excursion train from Augusta
conveying the party of nearly 250 rep-
representative people of that city, at the
invitation of Col. Wm. M. Wadley, President
of the Central Railroad and Ocean Steam
ship lines, to make a trip on the splendid
ocean steamship City of Savannah, reached
the depot yesterday afternoon at 5:20,
schedule time. It was composed of six ele
gant coaches, and was one of the handsomest
trains ever seen on the road.
The train was in charge of Captain W. II.
Rose, an experienced and popular conduc
tor. Major George A. Whitehead, the cour
teous and efficient agent of the Central
Railroad and Ocean Steamship Lines, ac
companied the party and has general charge
of the excursion.
The scene in front of the depot, upon the
arrival of the train, was lively and exciting.
Tbe entire street was blocked with omni
buses and carriages, and as the excursion
ists passed out of the depot they were rap
idly filled, and were soon whirling off to
the Pulaski and Marshall houses, where ac
commodations had been secured for them,
and where every attention will be given

COURT OF ORDINARY.
Decision Rendered in Hie Rose Case.
In the Court of Ordinary yesterday, Hon.
John O. Ferrill presiding, the following de
cision was rendered in the case of applica
tions for letters of administration upon the
estate of Wm. Rose, deceased, the full par
ticulars of the trial of which have appeared
in the News:
In the matter of the estate of William Rose.
Application of H. D. Headman for letters
of administration.
On the 30th day of July, of the present
year. Wiiliam Rose, an old* resident of this
city, died. He wa? a quiet, unobtrusive
man, with but few intimate friends. On his
death one of these, the applicant, knowing
the isolated condition in which he (Rose)
had lived, applied to this court for tempo
rary letters of administration to protect the
estate. On suggesting to him that it was
customary to apply at the .came time for
permanent letters, he, aftersome hesitation,
tiled such petition, understanding that when
the case was heard the letters would be
granted to the person entitled, without re
gard to the name in the printed published
notice.
Previous to the September term, to which
the case was returnable, a caveat was filed by
the children of the late David Rose, stating
that they, as the c hildren of said David,who,
they alleged, was the brother of YVm. Rose,
deceased, were the next of kin and entitled
to the administration on 6aid estate, and re
questing the appointment of Colonel Charles
II. Olmstead. Later a second caveat was
filed by Me.srs. llartridge A: ChisLolm, on
behalf of one Mary Rose, affirming that she
was the widow and sole heir of the said
William, aud claiming the administration.
During the trial she, by her counsel, filed a
second petition, praying that should the
court refuse to appoint her, that her selec
tion for such office, Thomas Arkwright, be
invested with the authority.
The testimony in this case shows that Mr.
Headman, the administrator ad colligendum,
has properly performed the duties of his
office, collecting, holding and caring for the
estate, and making a thorough inventory of
tac same. It is shown that the Savannah
Roses are the nephews and nieces of the late
William Rose, aud the next of kin, unless
William Rose left lineal descendants or a
widow. On behalf of the caveatrix, Mrs.
Mary Rose, certain papers and docu
ments, purporting to emanate from the
Mayor of Preston, England, and others, were
presented by her counsel as evidence, but
counsel for the original petitioner and the
objecting Roses opposed the motion, and
the court ruled out the evidence as inconi
petent. It was then proposed to prove by
the eaveatrix the facts of her marriage to
William Rose, which was also objected to
as opening wide the gates of fraud, and not
competent evidence under the laws of Geor
gia, and the objection was sustained. Mr.
Arkwright was then put on the stand,
and he recited William Rose’s connection
with him just previous to his (Arkwright’s)
last visit to England, when Rose said he was
married in England, and requested him to
hunt up his wife and assist her if she needed
assistance: that he did inquire for her at
Preston, but could find no such person; that
on his return from Paris, he having in the
meanwhile got a telegram saying that Rose
was dead, he made renewed search, and
finally found at Bolton, near Preston, the
lady who is here called Mary Rose, who
claimed to be the person he was in search
of. The next witness is Mr. James Har
graves, who states that he is the brother of
the claimant, Mrs. Mary Rose: knew that she
was married to Mr. William Rose; was pres
ent aud saw the ceremony performed, in the
parish church in Preston, by a “priest of
the Established Church of Eugland,” in 1849.
That s«he took his (Rose’s) name, aud that
I hey lived together as man and wife, “ by
day and by night,” for almost three months,
when he left. And this is the evidence.
Now, the Ordinary is required by law to
bestow the administration on the next of kin.
In this case the children of David Rose as
sert that they are the next of kin, being the
nieces and nephews of W’illiam Rose, their
father’s brother; and Mrs. Mary Rose de
clares that she is the widow aud sole heir of
the said William. I do not propose to de
cide the questiou of heirship between them.
If I did, with the meagre evidence before
me, great injustice might be done to the
eaveatrix, Mrs. Mary Rose. But I conclude
to adopt a course by which equal justice
will be done to all, and appoint to the office
of perraaneut administrator a disinte
rested person, who will hold the
estate for the benefit of the party
entitled to it. This will afford ample
opportunity to Mrs. Mary Rose to send to
England and establish by competent evi-
dene, if 6he can, her claim to the position
which she asserts. Entertaining this view
of the evidence, R becomes unnecessary to
decide the legal question submitted during
the argument.
It is therefore considered and ordered
that the petition of Henry D. Headman for
letters of administration on the estate of
William Rose, late of said county and State,
deceased, be granted upon his giving good
and sufficient bond, with at least two sure
ties, in the sum of one hundred and fourteen
thousand dollars ($U4.0OO), provided such
bond be filed in the Ordinary’s office, ap
proved, by 12 o’clock m. Monday next, the
21st inst. But should the said Headman
fail to file his bond, as aforesaid, then such
other fit and proper person will be appointed,
as the creditors of said estate, or a majority
of them may select, on giving such bond.
And it is further ordered that the caveats
aud several grounds of caveats are hereby
overruled. John O. Ferrill,

Third Survey on Bark L. T. Stocker
witli AppralKcmeut of - Damage*.
An investigating and appraising board of
survey was held yesterday on board the bark
L. T. Stocker (damaged by collision last
Thursday), consisting of Capt. Seth Cooper,
steamship Imbros: Capt. Braekenberry,
steamship Cromdon: Capt. Julius Berk,
steamship Cohanim, and Capt. Julian
Myers, Harbor Master of the port of Savan
nah.
Major Stewart. Agent for English Lloyds,
accompanied the survey in order to see
that the investigating of alleged damages
and appraising of actual damages doue by
the steamship Colombo were strictly close
and thorough, and conducted in a lawful
and unbiasod manner. Toe »arvayors report
that the damages done to the L. T. Stocker
by the steamship Colombo were slight, and
all upon upper works, estimated cost of re
pairs being $475.
The pumps were sounded at 11:40 a. m.
and again at 0:20 p. m., and found at both
times same water, consequently the vessel
was not leaking. 1 hat th*. alleged damage
to rudder by Colombo was utterly
impossible; that the Colombo could
not touch the lower part of rudder without
breakingthrough the whole stern, nor could
the danjage be caused at rudder head with
out some sign oi decks ‘Leim* 'started round
the rudder head; neither was the paintwork
or pitch in the deck seams even cracked^
That they observed a slight crack on the
after part of tbe rudder at water'f* edge, but
the surveyors declared that it was an old
crack, and with a penknife took from out
of it portions of old tar or paint contained
therein, this being a sure proof that it
was an old flaw, for which the steamship
Colombo cannot be responsible.
That on account of the damage done by
the steamship Colombo there is not the
slightest ground for discharging or dock
ing ship, and that so far as the Colombo is
coucornud tuo I.. T, atocker is quite as fit
to proceed to sea (after making good the
repairs actually done by the Colombo) as
she may have been before the Colombo
touched her.

Surrounding Influence^.
Everything around us influences the de
velopment of the intellect, but, by learned
observers, we are informed that the many
beneficial influences are partially overcome
by the wholesale introduction of poisons
into the system, much of which is accom
plished by smoking adulterated tobacco and
cigars. In order, therefore, to avoid these
noxious elements and enjoy good health and
good spirits, all smokers should call at F.
Kolb's, No. 121 Broughton street, and try
his “Hudson” cigar for five ceuts each.
They are made of the finest material, and
contain no artificial flavoring.

Items from the Memphis .1 valancfte of the

“The imposition and annoyance inflicted
daily upon Dr. Mitchell, Medical Director,
and upon the physicians and Howard Visi
tors, should be summarily stopped. Crowds
of negroes are daily at the medical head
quarters. asking for the services of a physi
cian, representing persons as being in the
last stages of illness : and it is a matter of
constant occurrence that physicians have to
go three, four and five jniles in the country
only to find the person represented ill to be
perfectly well, and whose only want is ra
tions. Doctors are continually stopped while
on their way to visit the sick’, and their bug-
e es are surrounded by a clamoring mob,
•gging and demanding orders for pruvis-
ions^and clothing. This is a nuisance that
should be promptly abated.
“When a Lieutenant of Colored Zouaves
walks into the commissary and orders the
chief of the department to fill a requisition,
the old fellow in the grey coat thinks he
would like to have the yellow fever and pass
out.'’
The New York Chronicle publishes a frost
table for the past seven years, by which it
appears that the earliest frost iuMaeon during
this time was October 8th, in 1873 aud 1876.
Last year the first frost was on November
10th, and a killing frost fell November 30th.
The year before the killing frost came No
vember 11th. In 18*o, the killing frost fell
on the 7th day of December. The earliest
killing frost in Macon occurred in 1873, on
the 29th day of October. At the yellow-
fever points, so far as given, killing frosts
fell on the following dates, from 1871 to
1877:
New Orleans—December 3, November 16,
October 29 (no figures for 1874 and 1875),
November 19, in 1876, and November 30, in
1877.
Vicksburg—November 16, November 17,
October 29, November 1, December 7, Octo
ber 8, November 11.
Memphis—November 17, October 14, Oc
tober 8. October 13, October 12, October 2,
November 6.
It will be seen that in four of these seven
years the date of a killing frost in Memphis
has already past.
Bay St. Louis (Miss.) correspoudence New
Orleans Times, 11th inst.: * * * “The
fever is still raging among us here, and at
date there is scarcely a house in the corpor
ate limits but has from one to half a dozen
suffering from this or some other terrible
malady.
“Most of the new cases reported to the
association here within the past few days are
in the pine woods, scattered three to five
mile& distant, aud what makes the fact still
more deplorable is that, as a class, they are
entirely destitute of the commonest neces
saries.
“The relief association of this place have
alleviated their wants to tbe fullest extent
of their ability, but I understand that there
are still some calls upon them for bedding
and provisions, which they are unable to
respond to at this date, which is a deplor
able state of affairs indeed : and I am led
to believe that this is owing mainly either
to tbe delicacy on the part of some of the
officers of our association, (who by the
way are all excellent men, aud have doue
noble aud efficient service, especially
tbe Messrs. Putnam, Tuolme, List and
Young Hoffman, the clever Secretary,) to
apply to the Howard Association of New
.Orleans for their immediate wants, o* to the
neglect of whoever is authorized to make
such requisitions ou that institution, which
has always acted most generously and
promptly in all directions to such demands;
and whoever is to blame in this seemingly
wanton neglect should be made to severely
feel the effect of what they have wo careless
ly assumed, and Immediate steps taken to
remedy the present condition of affairs here.
“General and grievous complaints for the
past two weeks have been rife here, and very
just too, I think, for the want of sufficient
medical attendance, and in substantiation
of this many cases could be cited where
deaths have occurred from the utter ina
bility of our present limited force of now
overworked physicians, to answer to these
calls, and up to this time I have been un
able to learn of any efforts from any source
having been made to secure the services of
at least one more physician which the pres
ent state of affairs justly demands.”
Sensible Words front a Colored Sa

On Monday there was a grand demonstra
tion by the colored troops of Charleston, in
honor of the laying of the corner stone of
the Sumner Memorial Hall in that city. The
conduct of the troops and the colored peo
ple generally on the occasion is spoken of
in the highest terms, and is commented on
by our Charleston contemporary as an evi
dence of the good results of true Democratic
government. The orator of the day was
John H. Deveaux, a colored man of Savan
nah, who made a very sensible and well-
timed address, from which we extract the
following:
“It is undeniable,” he said, that “notwith
standing the bonds of slavery have been un
loosed from the colored race for the last
thirteen years there is still the same preju
dice on the part of the dominant race. The
only way to conquer this prejudice is to
educate our people in all the branches of
industry and eeonom}-. The virtue of a
people will decline and become worse and
worse until the people degenerate into bar
barians, unless liberal education is advo
cated and disseminated freely among them.
Iguorance can nevjr comoat with intelli
gence, and the people themselves should see
to it that their teachers, whether in the pul
pit, in the schools or in other public places,
be made to give way to the best material
they can avail themselves of.” In conclu
sion he urged upon his audience the neces
sity of educating their children, set the seal
of condemnation upon Kearueyism, and
outspoken against the emigration of the
colored race. He advised all classes to co
operate in harmony for the prosperity of
their homes. To the Sumner Memorial As
sociation he said :
“To you, gentlemen of the Sumner Me
morial Association aad citizens of South
Carolina, belongs thp honor cf initiating a
plan for building an edifice that has all the
features, so far as I know, that would seem
to indicate success. There is no city in the
South better calculated to make this work
a success than your ‘City by the Sea.’ Y'ou
possess in an eminent degree all the indis
pensable qualities necessary to carry on the
undertaking—education, ener K y aud perse
verance. The Influence of your work will
be felt not only ih South Carolina, but in
every other State. The idea must be in
stilled into our people that they are ^ part
of the country, aud z, very Important part;
that they must have some settled and fixed
purpose in view; that it is their duty to assist
in developing the commuqity iu which they
reside; have a thirst for independence} ac
quire homes aud make the same attractive
by adorning tt with tbe neceesarv comforts
of life.
“While I have nothing to say about the
questions now agitating your minds as to
emigration from the United States, it is my
opinion that but a small minority will ever
leave. Let those of j'ou, Carolinians, who
have the courage aud determination to re
main, go to work courageously in the noble
beginning you have just made. But a =rcall
mite and some p^iem.u u necessary to
mate youi advancement successful. Charles
ton needs your presence, your muscle aud
your means to restore her to her once
proud eminence and distinction as the
‘Queen City of the South.’ Her shattered
energies must be built nn and rg.Jut.ed,
and yoq mqst fuel titifl to ' be your
duty as well as your interest to
bring about the result, and let rU classes
cooperate this luHUw- undcrtaking
in Mrm 0 "' ^ uU good faith. Have the fact
of permanent residence fixed, and no vision
ary castles in other climes haunting your
imagination, and let your conclusion’s be
that Charleston’s future prosperity is your
future prosperity; that her glory will be the
glory of the whole people, and feel that to
elevate her to a position to which she is en
titled by the education, refinement and cul
ture of her people, is your right as well as your
duty : bending your*energies to the accom
plishment of these things, you will have the
proud consciousness of Laving aone jvur
best, and will receive the plaudits of your
fellow-beings everywhere.”

THE HOMICIDE AT SEA.
flttl (6ao05.
r elimiuary Examination before the
United State* Comml*iloner.
The account in the Morning News of
yesterday of the killing of Peter H. Bensen,
mate of the bark James E. Ward, by a sea
man named Marcellus Henderson, not Ste
venson,as first stated, occasioned much com
ment, and the brutal deed was severely de
nounced.
In the morning Capt. John W. Anderson.
Chief Deputy "Marshal, dispatched the
steamtug Constitution to Tybee to bring up
the crew from the bark, which had an
chored in Tybee Roads. The tug returned
yesterday afternoon about half-past five
o’clock with the men. and they were carried
to the United States Court room.
A deputy was sent to the jail for the
prisoner and arrived in a short time, when a
preliminary examination was commenced
before United States Commissioner L. II.
Montmolliu. who announced the case to be
the United States vs. Marcellus Henderson.
Murder. The following testimony was then
taken :
John A. Payne, sworn for the govern
ment, says: I am the master of the bark
James E. Ward : 6he is an American vessel;
at the time of the homicide Tuesday she
was near the sea buoy, about discharging
the pilot; I saw nothing of the occurrence
myself; I caught the mate, Peter H. Ben
sen, as he staggered to the gangway : he had
been cut at that time: he lived probably
from three to four minutes ; he was cut on
the left side, just below the ribs, in front;
his entrails were protruding ; he had a sec
ond cut in the bowels, lower down : the de
fendant was a seaman on my vessel.
Cross-examined: I did not strike de
fendant : 1 took his Inife away.
Jas.Huges.swom forlhe government,says:
I know the defendant: was on board of the
bark at the time of the homicide; I saw the
cutting: the defendant was pulling at the
foretopsail halyards; we were making sail;
the deceased mate said to him, “Puli with
both hands:’’ he was only pulling with one:
defendant did not put both hands to the
halyards: the mate irot a little angry and
said, “Damn you, if you don’t pull I’ll
make you;’’ he then went forward; as he
came back by us, defendant, without any-
warning, drew my knife out of my sheath and
plunged it in him twice: as soon as the cut
ting occcurred the mate put his hands down
aud said, “ I’m cut;” the mate lived about
four or five minutes after he was cut; the
cutting killed him; the knife was a large one,
about nine or ten inches long; the cuts were
large : I saw him dead : as ^oon as he re
moved his hands from the cuts, as he fell
against the cabin, the blood spouted way
up.
Cross-examined by defendant: I was next
to you (defeudaut); don’t recollect seeing
you hit by mate or Captain ; I don’t think
you were in your sober senses at the time :
you had becu drinking and I had cautioned
you to stop before that.
James Faulkner sworn for the government,
says : I saw the cutting; 1 was up aloft and
the mate was pulling on the topsail hal
yards, where defendant was also; defendant
would only put one hand on the halyards
and let the rope slip through his hand; the
mate told him to put both hands,
and he would not do it; the mate
then told him, “Damn you, if you don’t put
on both hands, I’ll make you;” the mate
then advanced towards Henderson, and the
latter, raising one hand up above hiin, grab
bed the kuife from Huges’ sheath and cut
the mate twice very quickly ; the mate ran
from side to side several times, and then ran
aft and fell down by the cabin; the blood
catne from him freely; the mate had no
weapon whatever; the mate was a good deal
smaller than defendant; I did not hear de
fendant say anything to the mate as he ad
vanced towards him.
Cross-examined by defendant: I did not
see the mate strike you ; you were not too
drunk to know what you were doing.
Robert Bennett, sworn for the govern
ment, says : I saw the cutting ; we were
pulling ou the topsail halyards: defend
ant had only one hand pulling; the mate
told him to take two hands to pull; he
would not: he was loitering on the rope :
the mate said, “Damn you. I’ll make you
pull,” and struck him with his hand ; as
soon as the mate struck him defendant
stuck the knife iu him, saying, “I’ll knife
you:” male was a thin, small man; the
mate did not try to strike Him a second time;
defendant was able to walk about and could
have pulled if he had wanted to, but seem
ed dissatisfied.
Cross examined by defendant: Y’ou had
been drinking, but not enough to prevent
your going about your work.
The testimony was here closed, and the
Commissioner committed the prisoner to
jail to await trial before the November term
of the United States Court.
James Huges and James Faulkner were
committed as witnesses. Captain Payne
will return to Tybee to-day as soon as he can
complete his crew, and the vessel will sail
for her destination
We are informed that Mr. Bensen, the
murdered man, was an educated, worthy-
officer, and is well connected. He antici
pated being married on his arrival at Havre,
where his intended bride and his parents
were to meet him.
There seems to be no palliation whatever
for this terrible crime, the accounts of
which have shocked the entire community.
Seriou* Accident on Shipboard.
The steamtug Forest City brought up
from Tybee last evening Henry McDonald,
carpenter of the ship Quc-ea of ihe East, of
Aberdeen, from Liverpool fer Savannah.
On Monday last, when the ship was within
two days sail of Tybee, McDonald met with
a very painful and serious accident. He ha#
gone down between decks to attend to some
thing when, becoming suddenly dizzy, he
lost nis balance and fell into the lower hold,
breaking his left arm and several ribs on the
right side. He was sent to St. Joseph’6 In
firmary.

A VEXED QUESTION ANS^EUBB.
“What shall I do ta frl rid of all this
flesh ?” Is the question that has been asked
again and again of physicians without re
ceiving an intelligent reply. Several of o”r
popular lecturers and writer^ have attempted
to answer it, but the force of their disquisi
tions can be summed up in a single sen
tence : Be content you are not lean, and
starve yourself—a course of treatment that
will never cure obe6itv 4 as thousands who
hayc tried it can attest. Pharmaceutical
science has given a rational answer to this
quection in Allan’s Anti-Fat, which will re
duce the system from two to five pounds per
week. It is purely vegetable and *p er f ec tiy
harmless. Sold by druggists. it
