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. A DOMTESTK' TRAGEDY. A Woman Fatally Shot by Her Hat band. Matter* and riling* Laconically Noted.

Decidedly falling temperature and rising barometer, with winds shifting to north west, were reported last night, 10:44 p. m., from Western Texas, being the most decided from that section this season. Buffalo Bill’s maiinep was a grand suc cess, ami the house was packed with chil dren, who were in paroxysms of delight over the gallantry of the handsome scout and the pranks of that cunning, intelligent donkey. The preliminary examination in the ease of the United States'vs. Fn;d Jackson, col ored, charged with passing counterfeit money, was resumed before United States Commissioner Montmolliu and re- su/ted in hi? being committed to jail.

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 their comfort.

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, October 16, 1878. Ordinary C. C. 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. Superior Conn. Judge IlEKitr B. Tompkins presiding. Court convened at 10 a. m. yesterday when the following proceedings were had: State vs. Peter Roundtree.

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.

Notes and Incidents of the Stricken Cities Gleaned from our Exchanges, and Otherwise. Items from the Memphis .1 valancfte of the 12th : “Capt. Jim Barron’s occupation Is gone. The genial captain will not have a chance to strap the ‘old man' down. “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.

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 vannah /Ian. 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.

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.

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. Hotel Arrival*. Ptlasiu Hocsje.—C. M. Barnwell, W. L. Smith, C. H. Locke, Charleston, S. C ; D. W. Bagley and wife, Americas, Ga.: W. H. Burns, Georgia; Gen.

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 Latest styles in soft and stiff hats received by everj- steamer at Gazan’s, octl6-lm Notice to the Public.
