The Theatre—Last Night.
The very excellent company of dramatic
artists under the management of Mr. Leon
ard (i rover, closed a very successful engage
ment of two nights and a matinee at the
Theatre last evening, presenting the amus
ing comedy “Our Boarding House.” We
have not the space to speak in detail of the
company, but we can truly say that there is
not an inferior actor or actress in the com
bination—the majority of them having just
left the Grand Opera House, New York,
where they have been playing to immense
houses. They give an excellent per
formance, au<l are deserving of the
patronage of all theatre goers.
The house last night was well tilled,
and the demonstrations of applause and
laughter were abundant. The comedy well]
deserves the success it has met with, as it is
a genuine American comedy, tilled with
characters that grow only on our side, and
with scenes that could not occur elsewhere.
One or more of the types described in “Our
Boarding House” may be visible in ail largo
cities, and it is easy enough to pick up in
various parts of the country an Elevator, a
Shouter, a Gillypod, or an Eligible, but the
mass could hardlv be agglomerated ou‘side
of the great city of extensive enterprises.
“Our Boarding Ifouse” must be ranked as
a first-class comedy, fpr if s life is in its char
acter-portraiis.
The Jockey Club.
A special meeting of the Savannah .Jockey
Club was held last evening at the Marshall
House, and in the absence of the President
and Vice President, Mr. M. A. Cohen,
Treasurer, presided. Dr. McFarland, Secre
tary, informed the members that there we*c
no entries for the hurdle races announced
foi thi! first and third days, and, on motion,
it was decided that the officers be requested
to substitute such othe# races if} their stead
as they may deem best.
The bkls for the privileges during race
week were opened, and the one for the sa
loon accepted. The bids for the other privi
leges wf?re laid over until the next meeting.
On motion, the presiding officer was re
quested to communicate with the Superin
tendents of the several rallr04.de and re
quest that they Dsue excursion tickets du
ring the race week.
Two new members were elected, and the
club then adjourned to meet on Friqay
evening at lialf-past seven o’clock.

Charles Reilly, who was severely wounded
in a difficulty with William Hints, alias
Alysworth, on Tuesday night, In a barroom
on Bay street, an account of which has been
given in the Morning News, died yesterday
morning at 11 o’clock, in the St. Joseph’s
Infirmary.
Coroner Sheftall was notified, and held an
inquest, at which the following testimony
was elicited:
John Donough testified : On last evening
I was in the house of Michael Lacey, when
the difficulty began: 1 was making a' fire for
the proprietor of the house, Mike Lacy;
Charles Reilly, Mike Maher, Jim Quickley
and a man named William Alysworth, went
out to take a drink in the bar; I remained
inside; while they were in the bar I heard
loud talking, cursing and swearing between
them: I looked through the window leading
ia the bar, when I saw Alysworth snatching
a pistol out of Lacey’s hand and firing at
Charles Reilly, the deceased; deceased then
ran out of the back door, Alysworth run
ning after him: the difficulty took place be
tween S and 9 o’clock Tuesday night, in this
county and State.
Michael Maher testified: On Tuesday night
about 9 o’clock, 1 w\as in the barroom, also
Mike Lacey,Charles Reilly, Quickly and Don
ough; Mr. Lacy desired to close his place;
some one then knocked at the door; I open
ed the door and found it to be William
Alysworth; I admitted him in; Lacy then
said, “Let uptake a drink, I want to shut up:”
Alysworth then said, “God d—n it, let’s get
out;” Reilly (the deceased; replied, “j gue6S
people here knows Mike Lacey as long as
you:” Reilly and myself then went into the
barroom (while this conversation was going
on we all were iu the anteroom;; Alysworth
followed us iuto the barroom, and said to
Reilly, ‘ You insulted me;” he had his hand
by his side; before Reilly could reply, Alys
worth fired his pistol aud shot deceased;
Reilly snatched the pistol from Alysworth,
and Alysworth ran, Reilly following him,
and fired at him; I brought deceased to Dr.
Stone’s office; the doctor examined his
wound; Reilly gave no provocation to Alys
worth to cause the difficulty; Reilly had no
weapons, and was iu a good, lively humor;
I did not hear any cursing or swearing: 1
know deceased; his name is Charles Reilly;
he was a quiet, good man; he was generally
a sober, industrious man: the difficulty took
place at Mike Lacey’s barroom, in Savan
nah, Bay street, between Houston and Price,
iu this county aud State.
Dr. George H. Stone testified: Last even
ing, the 14th instant, I was called down into
my office by the deceased, Charles Reilly,
aud found him suffering from a pistol shot
wound of abdomen, the ball entering the
abdominal cavity two inches to the left of
the median line and two inches and one-
half above the umbilicus, the ball taking a
direction backward and outward, passing,
in my opiniou, through the intestines; the
wound was, in my opinion, the immediate
cause of death.
The jury, after deliberating upou this
evidence, returned the following
verdict :
We, the jury, find that the deceased,
Charles Reilly, came to his death from a
gunshot wound, in the abdomen, iuflicted
by a pistol iu the bauds of William Alys
worth, and iu the opinion of this jury it is
murder.
COMMITTED TO JAIL.

The aTIniiielpal Election.
Under a resolution of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee the Chair was requested
to appoint a committee of nine citizens
from each district to suggest suitable names
for Mayor and Aldermen at the apprqacb-
ing election. This duty has been perform
ed and the attention of our readers is called
to the list published in the special notice
t0 The meeting of the committee will take
place this afternoon at 4 o’clock at the court
house.
We have received from a correspondent of
the Morning News (formerly a resident of
Savannah) living in Washington, the follow
ing complete account of the particulars of
the last illness and death of Hon. Julian
Hartridge :
Thursday, January 9th, of this present
year witnessed at the capital of the United
States a scene at once grand and impres
sive; one in which the nation paid
a great tribute to the memory of
a man whose body lying cold in
death, was honored as few men have ever
been in our midst. I allude to the funeral
services of the late lamented Julian Hart
ridge, who had so well represented for years
his district and people in the Congress of
the United States. Doubtless you have
room in your columns for yet one letter
relative to his illness, death and funeral
services.
Mr. Hartridge was taken with a severe
Cold the day following Christmas. On that
happy day, accompanied by his daughter,
who had come from her school in Virginia
to visit him, and a few friends, he had
been out to walk, and was then, being in
disposed, entreated by his daughter to
remain in doors and be careful of
his health. On the 26-h he took
to his bed, and from that time
up to Monday, a. in., January 0th, remained
iu a sick, but not at all serious condition.
Dr. Garnett, an eminent physician of this
city, was in constant attendance upon him.
Sunday Mr. Hartridge evidenced by his
speech and manner that he felt himself to
be quite Ill: had a bad night, and towards
morning said to Major Erwin, who had re
mained up with h(m, that he could not get
to sleep aud would rise, dress himself, sit in
the easy chair by the fire, aud perhaps then
obtain the rest needed. He did so, aud
seemed much relieved. Dr. Garnett
came in. Mr. Hartridge again lay
down and then slept soundly for several
hours. At noon there was a change for the
worse. The doctor was advised and prompt
measures taken to remedy the same. Tues
day Major Erwiu deemed it best to notify
Mrs. Hartridge of her husband’s serious con
dition aud summon her to his presence, but
this the doctor opposed and sent Mrs. Hart
ridge a message himself, telling Major
Erwin he w ould take all the responsibility
of so deciding, saying that her appear
ance would iu the patient’s nervous con
dition perhaps excite and endanger his case.
The Georgia delegation were advised of
the sudden change lor the worse, and then,
with Major Erwin, demanded a consultation
of physicians, and that Mrs. Hartridge be
telegraphed at once the serious condition of
her husband. This was done, and the con
sultation appointed for the next morning at
seven o’clock. Being requested to have it
at once, the doctor replied saying there was
no necessity for it. During that (Tuesday)
night Mr. llartridge was much easier, and
talked considerably on different subjects,
perfectly rational and in good spirits. To
wards morning he requested Major Er
wiu to take a seat on the bed
by him. Mrs. Hicks, the excellent lady at
whose house he had roomed for the past years
when in Washington, was also present. He
seemed better, but complaiued of feeliug
weaker, nnd Maj. Erwin felt that he bad
been over anxious and solicitous, and un
necessarily alarmed. A little later Mr. ll.’s
breathing became more difficult, and the
symptoms of his case were so bad that a
servant was dispatched for the doctor at
once. He came instantly. It was about six
o’clock. Mr. II. said to Mrs. Hicks
a little later—it being yet dark—
“please raise the curtain aud let in
the light.” Phrophetic words. Not many
moments after in simply changing his posi
tion on the bed, his head fell back, a short
cough, aud the life went out as peacefully
as ever falls to the lot of man, and suddenly
as unlooked for. The hands and heart of
one who had befriended many persons, even
here, lay quiet iu death. The news was at
once dispatched to his family and the House
of Representatives notified of his decease;
friends instructed to meet and detain his
wife who was then speediug oq her way to
his side, the body embalmed, aud nothing
left undone that could be done for the de
ceased; friends sat up and took charge of
the remains, beautiful llowers were sent by
loving hear s to testify their grief and sym
pathy, and ia the afternoou of the next day
at the capitol, in the hall of the House of
Representatives, the funeral service took
place, the remains being brought at that
time from the late residence of the deceased.
During Mr. Harttidge’s illness Major Er
wiu, Mr. Rawls, Mrs. Hicks and otherfriends
had been unremitting in their attention and
care. Maj. Erwin had sat up for five nights,
constantly, and Mr. Rawls had been with
Mr. Hartridge each day or evening of his
illness at some hour.
Mr. Hlrtridge was hopeful, inclined to be
iu a joking inood, and betokened iioanxious
thought. Truly, “in the midst ot life we
are in death.”
Long before the hour appointed for the
services the immense hall of the House of
Representatives was filled with those who
had gathered to do homage to the deceased,
and to witness the unusual and impressive
services of the occasion, But five n ‘ pmh “rt
of the House had been so honored. Try to
picture the «eene. The Vice President of
the United btaies ana the Speaker of the
House occupy seats side by side. The mem
bers of the House are. with few
exceptions, In their place», and the
President of the nation, the mem-
of the Cabinet aud the Judges
of the Supreme Court, are seated imme
diately iu front of the Speaker’s desk. The
galleries are filled with an immense throng,
representing chiefly the higher c 1 ** 868 ol
the official aud social life of the capital.
The Chaplains of the Senate aud House oc
cupy seats on the raised floor just beneath
the Speaker’s desk. It is indeed an impos
ing assembly. A dim light fills the halk It
is cloudy, aud the rain falls. Such quiet
and order the writer never before witnessed
in that place. A sound of approaching
footsteps, the blow' of the gavel is
heard on the Speaker’s desk, and as the im
mense audience rise as oue.mau to their feet,
the body of the lamented statesman, en
closed in a magnificent casket and covered
with the choicest llowers, is borne iu and
deposited on the bier at the frout of the
Speaker’s desk, Rud’lies before the great
men of tue nation, no still, but graud, iii
death! The escort qf honor, the Senators
and members wearing badges of mourning,
pass forward and occupy positions to the
right and left of the remains, and at the
sound of the gavel all are again seated.
The casket is uncovered, and the upper
portion of the body exposed to view.
The face looks upward aud forward
to the Speaker’s desk, as if in the
act of atfdrpss. The Chaplain of the
House rises, and in tile stillness ot that horn
is heard the sublime burial service of the
dead. After .“l 1 arise and a prayer is
offered, full of faith and trust iu God’s
mysterious providence, and of tender re
membrance for the wife and children so
terribly bereaved. At its close a brief anu
beautiful tribute to the deceased is spoken
by the Chaplain, and the liviug statesmen
present entreated to be faithful to their
trusts, and to their common Father above.
A prayer is offered by the Chaplsin of the
Senate, the benediction pronounced, aud the
services are at an end.
Those on the floor of t£e House
arise and go forward to look un the
face of the dead, wno lie3 before them,
so quiet amid all that scene. He had
been quiet in his liviug presence—a
faithful servant of the people who honored
him, ever on duty. Those who knew his
powers of eloquence aud oratory, often de
sired to hear him speak on some of the great
questions of the day. His time had not
come for that. His work though laborious
was done quietly and perfectly. He was
undoubtedly, of all men in the Congress of
the United States, the rising statesman of
this nation.
But to resume. After the funeral services
the body was borne from. the Hall of the
1 louse, through the rotunda to the great en
trance on the east front of the capitol,
placed In the hearse and conveyed to the
depot, followed by a host o' great men, and
deposited in a special car provided for the
purpose. As it was borne from the House
the distinguished officials present passed out
after it as follows:* The President of the
United States and the members of the
Cabinet, the Judges of the Supreme Court,
clad in their robes of office, the members of
the Senate and the funeral escort. The 6ky,
clouded and full of rain, suddenly cleared
up. A great glow of brightness appeared
in the west, and nature seem to cry out—
‘ Immortality lias been brought to light.”
One beautiful iucideut: During the eu
logy by the Chaplain the gas light was
turned on. The effect was very noticeable,
from the uim light of closing day to the
full illumination of the splendid light sup
plied the House of Representatives. As
the electricity sped around from place to
place, the gas caught tbe spark with a sub
dued explosion; light after light appeared,
each adding lustre to the scene and concen
trating itself on the central figure of that
mighty presence. It was as if unseen hosts
were wing salutes of honor to the dead, and
the writer knew that for him whose body
lay directly before him with arms folded,with
face uplifted, his work ended, the great mys
tery had been made known, and one more
soul, faithful in life to every duty, had been
welcomed to an eternal home.
“Grateful.”

That Senseless Panic at the Theatre.
Editor Morning Mem: As a witness of the
senseless panic at the Theatre on Tuesday
night, I cannot help feeling that this narrow
escape of what might have proven a fear
ful calamity was intended by a wise Creator
to teach us a lesson. Here sat an audience
of several hundred people, all laughing and
enjoying the attempts of those on
the stage to amuse them, and in
the short space of one instant these
several hundred people were on their feet
and started for the doors. The alarm of
fire given from without, the ringing of the
lire bells, is nothing new. I have sat in the
Theatre before under similar circumstances,
and the rushing of the few who always
make it a point to rush for the doors to run
to the fire is expected. But the single cry
of fire uttered by one single thoughtless
person somewhere in the galleries caused in
one moment this fearful excitement. That
there is not to-day a score of homes wrapped
in sorrow, pain and death, we may thank
our merciful Father above.
The actors on the stage, both men and
ladies, tried their utmost to calm the ex
citement, and a few resolute parties in the au
dience assisted. In larger cities, where an au
dience is composed of many strangers, who
do not know exactly the various exits of a
crowded building, a panic may be some
what excusable; but in a city like ours
w here the audience is composed almost en
tirely of regular theatre-goers, who day
after day pass this very building, who
knew it thoroughly, how a panic can be
created is really remarkable, and shows the
dangers by which we are constantly beset.
Let this be a lesson to those who were pre
sent last night and let it be remembered that
w hatever dangers beset us in life none are
of so fearful a nature as the invisible. Those
w'e see we can guard against aad combat,
but the invisible aud unknown are those
most to be dreaded. Above all, let it teach
us the lesson of presence of mind, and may
Savannah never again witness a repetition
of last night’s lucky escape from what might
have been a calamity indeed.
Yours truly, A Tueatre-Goer.
To IriMhmeu and tbe Friend* of
Ireland.
An association under the name of “ The
Jasper Monumental Association” has been
formed for the purpose of erecting a monu
ment to the memory of Sergeant Jasper.
It will be remembered that on the 9th day
of October, 1779, Sergeant Jasper fell in the
attack on Savannah, and it is the intention
of this association to lay the corner stone of
the prosposed monument on the 9th day of
October, 1879.
No occasion could be more appropriate
than the centennial of his death; no place
more fitting than that whereon he fell.
While other Irishmen rose higher in the
Colonial ranks, yet none there was who
more truly represented Ireland in America
than the brave and modest William Jasper.
Born iu Ireland, he emigrated to America
and settled in South Carolina. The war of
the Revolution found him a devoted patriot,
aud on the 28th of June, 1776, he was en
gaged in the defence of Fort Moultrie. Ills
conspicuous gallantry iu leaping over the
ramparts of the fort during the hottest of
the fight aud fixing anew the flag which
had been shot from its staff, won for him
the admiration of his comrades, and inspired
the brave defenders of old Moultrie with a
loftier heroism.
For this act he was offered a commission
by Governor Rutledge, who said to him:
“You have won a sword, sir, and you must
w'ear it.” “Nay, sir,” replied Jasper, “I am
not worthy of the trust; adversity has been
my only schoolmaster, liberty ray only
schoolmistress.' I cannot mingle with those
who are superior to me in education aud
manners without exposing myself to de
served contempt. Let me alone; let roe
serve my country iu the way suits me best,
as an humble and devoted laborer iu the
cause of freedom.” Governor Rutledge
yielded to thL refusal, but presented him
with the sword which the Governor wore
about his person.
Probably the most desperate feat of arms
of the Revolution was the release by Jasper
and Newton, of about twelve American
prisoners aud the capture of the guard of
leu British Eolaiers. Tne circumstances
surrounding this exploit were romantic in
the extreme and worthy of the days of
chivalry. While recounoitering the British
camp at Ebeuezer, Jasper learned
from a Mrs. Jones that her husband,
then in irons, charged with desertion of
the royal cause, was about t-Q he se«v with {
other pris.-neis to Savannah, tfcs're to be
tried, and, doubtless, executed. The dis
tress of the poor woman and her child
touched tbp lie^rt of tfie impulsive Irish
man, and he formed the desperate resolu
tion of attempting a rescue. The prisoners
under guard started for Savannah. Jasper
aud Newton followed them unarmed until
the party arrived at is now known as
Jasper Springs, about two miles from »a-
vanuah, on the Augusta road. I}ere the
guard stopped for water, resting their arms
against the trees. Jasper and Newton each
seized a musket, shot two of the guard
down, dashed out the brains of two more
with the clubbed guns, leaped between the
remaining six soldiers and tbe other mus
kets, and possessing themselves of the
loaded weapons, compelled the surrender
of the six, released the prisoners, escorted
them to the American army at Purysburg,
aud safely returned .Jones to his wife and
child.
The death of Jasper was in keeDiug with
his life. The attack ou Savannah was dis
astrous. The French aud Americans w’ere
repulsed; the bugle had sounded the retreat
when the flag which Mrs. £lJiot had present
ed n, him, aud which ne had promised to
guard “until eternity,” was seen by him
trailing in the dust. Lieutenants Bushe aud
llume had been killed while bearing that
banner, and it was from Hume’s dying grasp
that Jasper seized it at the close of the action,
and that day Jasper made good his premise.
He guarded it “until eternity.’' While bear
ing it hp feii anti In falling said to Major
Horcy, a coinpauion in arms, “I have got
my furlough. That sword was presented"to
me by Governor Rutledge for iny services
jn the defense of Fort Moultrie. Give
it to my father, aud tell him I
have w’oru it with honor. If he should
weep, tell him his son died in the hope of a
better life. Tell Mrs. Elliott that, 1 lost my
life supporting the colors which she pre
sented to our regiment. If you should ever
see Jones, his wife, and son, tell tj;em that
Jasper is gone, but that the remembrance of
the battltrwhich he fought for them brought
a secret joy to his heart when it was about to
stop its motion forever. Tell all my friends
who shall remember to ask forme that their
poor friend has fought his last fight, has
struck his last 1-low , and may the blessings
of Providence rest upon my country and her
cause,”
“So fell Sergeant Jasper; his last blow
struck iu the cause of America: his la6t
shout a gathering cry for the defence of her
honor: his last wish a prayer for her pros
perity! So fell Sergeant Jasper. The sand
of our streets has drunk up his blood, and
the soil of pur city has encompassed his
bones. Who has written his epitaph? Who
has built up his monument?”
To write his epitaph, to build his monu
ment, is the object of our assov.iatiuti, and
should be oqr proudest pleasure, as it is our
most sacred duty. Let, then, Irishmen
everywhere, rising above creed and party,
unite with us in rearing through Irish effort
a tribute to Irish valor.

A Theatrical Trickery—Be on Your
Guard.
Editor Morning Meins: In default of a
better remedy, I would suggest that theatre
goers, particularly those who take seats iu
the “family circle,” inquire of the ticket
seller the price of admission before paying,
as that individual seems to have a penchant
for taking all that you give him, without
giving the benefit of any reduction in regu
lar prices. I went with a frieud to Denier’s
Humpty Dumpty and tendered one dollar
and fifty cents at the ticket office, for which
I received two family circlo tickets. Find
ing that portion of the house over-crowded, 1
came down stairs and handed the doorkeeper
an additional fifty cents, but was consider
ably astonished when he demanded one dol
lar as the difference between up aud down
stairs. I informed him that I paid $1 50 for
the family circle tickets, when he kindly ad
vised me to go to the ticket office and claim
the excess that had been charged. Last night,
at the performance of “Our Boarding
House,” this ticket seller accepted seventy-
five cents per ticket from a number of per
sons who were ignorant of the change in
price. The result was that all who discov
ered the fraud claimed the excess and got it.
Mr. Arkwright, or whoever is interested,
should investigate^ this ticket man and put
some one iu his place honest enough to give
the public any benefit that managers are
considerate enough to extend. I can sus
tain my assertions by as many “sufferers”
as mav* be demanded. Pro Rono.

The Board of Cuuuty Commissioners held

of hearing the contested constab\e ejection
cases iu the Third and fourth districts
The case in tbe Third district was A. J
Utanklju vs. Lewis B. Entires and Julius

raised the point that the Cquaty Commis

board would then be qualified to hear argu
ment upon the merits af ihe contest. The
Board re«e77vd their decision.
Hace Alter a IJurglar,
Yesterday afternoon about four o’clock
6ome excitemeu * was created on State street
hy a chase after a burglar. A well known
colored “striker” fur the constabulary force
rejoicing in the euphonious name of Gunn,
whilst passing down the street, discovered
coming out of a saloon a negro whom he at
once recogni»ed as James Jenkins, who
was concerned in a burglary here
some months since. He at once started for
Jenkins, who showed tight and made a mo
tion as though to draw a pistol. Gunn was
not ta be snared, however, and Jenkins took
to his heels, closely followed. After an ex
citing chase, which collected a large erdwd
of colored people who sided with
the fugitive, Jenkins was overhauled
and was held by Gunn until the arrival of
an officer, when he was escorted to the Bar
racks. Eater ia the evening he was arraign
ed before Magistrate Russell ana was com
mitted to jail,
A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
It is easy to arrest the course of the
streamlet among its native hills. But when
it has flowed downward into the valley and
been multiplied by a hundred brooks, It is a
aifficult and sometimes impossible task to
arrest the mad torrent of waters. Thus it
is with disease. In its earliest stages, when
the patient notes the first symptoms of it;
presence (often indicated onfy by a sense of
languor, drowsiness, or a slight headache),
it i§ easy to arrest Its progress and secure
relief. But when, through carelessness or
neglect, it is allowed to develop, complica
tions arc apt to set in, and it is no eas\ task
to arrest it. Our grandmothers taught then
daughters that “a stitch intium saves nine.’ 1
A pill in tim? save; not only nine, but oft-
times an Incalculable amount of suffering as
well. If the system be kept thoroughly
cleansed and strengthened, it is almost in
vulnerable to disease. When the first
symptoms of disease appear, two of Dr.
Pierce’s Purgative Pellets, and a few aoses
of the Golden Medical Dis%iovery, to cleanse
the blood, will, in almost every Instance,
airest the progress of disease and expel it
from the system. Those who have used
them are the loudest in their praise. Their
reputation is genuine, depending upon their
merits alone. It

From David Ashton, Savannah: “When
I commenced taking the Palmetto prepara-
ration, I had become so reduced in flesh and
strength that I was hardly able to get out
of bed. I had been treated here and in
New York by several physicians for con
sumption, the result of a cojd eouiracted
four or five years a^o, whi)e working at my
t'ade (blacksmith). My cough was very
distressing, and I expectorated very pro-
fusel}'. After taking the Palmetto prepara
tion about two mouths, I am now in com
parative good health, sleep well, and am
able to work at my trade,”
