An Explanation — Tiie Matinee
Prices.
In the Morning News of yesterday ap
peared a notice of the circus which con
tained a paragraph giving certain facts, and
among others that the admission to the
afternoon performance would be fifty cents
for adults and twenty-five cents for chil
dren. This was a mistake, as this scale of
prices was for Charleston, and was inserted
through misapprehension, for which the
manager was not responsible. It was one
of those inadvertences that cannot always
be guarded against. The advertisement of
the circus, however, both in the News and
Telegram, and the street bills, showed that
the matinee prices for Savannah would be
75 cents for adults and 50 cents for children.
We make this statement in justice to the
managers, who were censured hy many, be
cause of the supposed increase of prices
and from the fact that many, especially
children, were occasioned annoyance and
disappointment.
Now, it will be proper to state in
explanation of the prices being higher
here than in Charleston, that the
expenses of the exhibition in this city
are enormously in excess of what they are
in Charleston. The license in Charleston
ou circus performances Is only $100 per day.
The city tax alone in Savannah is $200, and
we understand that the total amount paid
here was $650, hence, as the manager in
formed us, it was impossible for him to
have the same rate of admission here as iu
Charleston.
It is to be regretted that any were oc
casioned trouble, but it was through no in
tentional fault of the company, as the
prices published were the Charleston rates,
and were given for Savannah inadvertently
as stated.
The delay in the commencement of the
performance gave an opportunity for those
who had not brought the proper change to
return home and get it, if they still felt in
clined to see the show, though of course this
alternative was unpleasant.
Artesian Wells In Savannah.
The following paragraph we find in the
Charleston ffetes and Courier of yesterday.
We had not heard before that it was con
templated to make any such change here.
At least we believe no report to that effect
has been made by the Committee on Water
Works or Water Works Commissioners, but
home news often comes from abroad. The
paragraph is as follows:
“Mr. Spangler has just completed an
artesian well 775 feet in depth at Coosaw,
for the Coosaw Mining Company. This
well flows only a few gallons of water at the
surface, but when the pumps are applied
the yield is bevond measure. The water is
said to be of the purest quality, and is now
being analyzed by Prof. Shepard. Mr.
Spangler Is about going to Savannah, where
it is contemplated to substitute artesian
well water for the river water, with which
that city is now supplied.”
Class Festival.
A festival and package party for the bene
fit of the missionary fund of Wesley Monu,
mental Sunday School, will be given at the
residence of Mr. David Porter, 77)ie Jones st.
(south side, two doors east of Abercorn), by
Class No. 9, and they will be pleased to see
those who are interested in forwarding such
a cause. The class request the donation of
packages containing anything the donor
may choose, and it is thought their sale at
auction, commencing about 8:30 o’clock, will
afford some amusement, the services of a
well known auctioneer having been secured
for the occasion. The festival will continue
from 4 o’clock until 11 this evening.

This evening John A. Stevens and com
bination will make their second appearance
this season at the Theatre, when will be
again produced the beautiful and excit
ing drama, entitled “Unknown,” which
was received here last month with
such favor. The company, as those who
witnessed their first performance can attest,
is an excellent one, and the play, which is
interesting aud exciting, is given with fine
effect. Reserved seats are on sale at Bren 6
ticket oilice, and those who have not yet
purchased tickets will do well to see about
it at once, if they wish to spend a very en
tertaining evening.

We understand the Fords are preparing
for their “spring season.” The repertoire

prompt attention of each member cast—in
tends making these performances a success.
He says he has the talent necessary for the
pieces, and is confident that he can produce
them with credit to the association The

States Courts at Savannah has just been
completed and forwarded to the Attorney
General. It shows that during the fiscal
year judgments for plaintiffs amounting to
i £653,474 05 have been rendered in said
courts.
Considering the immense crowd in the
circus pavilion last night, the order wa6
excellent, though some of the people on
the front benches had no regard for tlfeir
friends at the rear, and would persist in
standing up, and thus shutting out a view of
the ring.
We learn that some narrow escapes from
accidents were occasioned yesterday after
noon by the street cars being started before
ladies and children, who were getting off,
had alighted. Conductors should not be
too impatient to make quick trips on such
an occasion.
An attache of the circus bad a narrow es
cape from being badly Injured at the
Marshall House yesterday, a few minutes
after his arrival, by walking into the open
trap door leading to the cellar. He fell to
the ground, but beyond a shaking up sus
tained no damage.
There are a number of tramps In the city
at present, and one is frequently accosted
on the street by strong, healthy looking men,
asking for “five cents to get a crust of
bread.” There is plenty of work*for these
fellows in the country, and they should keep
away from the city.
A popular official who attended the
circus yesterday, having by mistake got a
child’s ticket at the wagon, during the crowd
and confusion, had the assurance to present
it at the entrance. The ticket man glared
at his innocent, guileless face fora moment,
and passed him. So much for youthful
looks.
A PLEASANT OCCASION.
Three Old Citizens Meet on Their
Natal Day.
A pleasant coincidence occurred yester
day In the meeting of Capt. Wm. M. David
son, Wm. R. Symons, Esq., and George Ch-
Gemunden, Esq., when a chance remark re
vealed the fact that it was the natal day of
each, Captain Davidson being fifty-eight
years old, Mr. Symons sixty*slx, and Mr.
Gemunden sixty-eight. The occasion was
thereupon commemorated in social style,
and friends were remembered, among them
the Morning News corps. In mention
ing this meeting of these three old and well
known citizens the following brief sketch
will not be without interest:
Captain Davidson, who carries his years
well, was born on the 11th of November,
1821, at Fifeshire, Scotland, near D unfern
line, where King Robert, the Brace, is bu
ried, and was the first child baptized over
his remains In the “Abby.” He came to
Savannah thirty-five years ago, and has since
been actively engaged in the business which
he Is now conducting. Captain Davidson
has served the city as Alderman, and
for some lime was Second Lieutenant
of the Chatham Artillery. He was Captain
of the Firet Company Georgia Reserves to
wards the close of the war, and the
last to leave the city. He is now In
the enjoyment of excellent health, and bids
fair to see many another happy occasion as
yesterday.
Mr. George Chas. Gemunden, the senior
of the trio, is one of our best known and
esteemed German fellow-citizens. He was
born at Grosswinternheim, on the Rhine,
on the 11th November, 1811, and came to
Savannah in 1853, when he entered into the
soda manufacturing business. He after
wards was proprietor of the Planters Hotel,
which he conducted successfully for over
twenty years, and then gave it up to engage
In his present business. He is the oldest
member of the German Friendly Society,
and was the seventh member in the
organization of the Germania Fire
Company, and is, with the exception
of Mr. Scheideman, the only survivor.
He also organized the Savannah Turnverein,
and is noted for the active interest he
manifests in all concerning the welfare of
those societies. Mr. Gemunden was for
many years First Lieutenant of the DeKalb
Riflemen. He is now hale and hearty, in
the enjoyment of fine health, with the pros
pect of being able to celebrate his birthday
a decade hence.
Mr. W. R. Symons has been a resident of
Savannah since 1837, and is well known for
his genial and sociable disposition. He was
born in Davenport, Port of Plymouth, Eng
land, on the 11th of November, 1813,
and came to Savannah when he
was twenty-four years of age, engaging
then in the merchant tailoring business, and
subsequently opened a clothing store corner
of Whitaker and 8t. Julian streets, in a
frame building, which was destroyed by
fire a number of years ago. At
present he is a Justice of the Peace,
and although not in very robust health, yet
possesses an excellent constitution, and we
hope may meet his two other friends, on the
same auspicuous occasion, many times in
the future.
We tender these three worthy gentlemen
our congratulations, and wish for them con
tinued health and prosperity, and that they
“may meet again.”
BOBBED AT THE CIRCUS.
Tiie UIglit Fingered Gentry at Work.
The Circus—“All Savannah” Under a
Canvaw.
In consequence of the locomotive giving
out, the train on the Savannah and Charles
ton Railroad, which was expected to reach
the city at eight o’clock with Cole’s mam
moth circus, did not arrive here until nearly
eleven o’clock. This delay necessitated the
abandonment of the grand street parade,
greatly to the disappointment of the
younger portion of the community, and
many of the older. It required hard work,
in fact, to get the tents up and everything
in order for the matinee, by three o’clock,
two hours later than the time expected.
The tent was pitched on the lots south
of the jail, on the line of Whitaker street,
and by one o’clock the entire space was
crowded with people, principally ladies and
children, who were compelled to wait
nearly two hours before they could obtain
entrance. Considering the difficulties under
which they labored, the managers, however,
did well. As was predicted, the immense
tents were literally packed—in fact, at one
time locomotion was almost Impossible in
the menagerie tent, so dense was the crowd.
After viewing the animals and the giant and
giantess, the crown slowly moved on to the
circus tent, and in due time were all seated,
every bench and chair in the exten
sive pavilion being crowded. The
performance was good, bettor than
the average of arena exhibitions we
have had,although there was not the variety,
equestrianism being the main feature.
The riding was good, the vaulting and
trapeze performances excellent, and the
trained stallions certainly a sight worth
seeing. *
TTie crowd at the performance last night
was simply beyond expression, and It is es
timated there were fully seven thousaud
five hundred people present. Never has
such a jam been seen beneath canvas in thi6
city, hnd hundreds were turned away. The
evening’s entertainment was equally as good
as the matinee. The tents were brilliant
ly illuminated with the electric light, which
was quite an attraction. The lignt is pro
duced by one of the Brash Dynamo-Electric
machines, manufactured in Cleveland, O.,
which Is ran by a thirty horse power steam
engine. The machine is capable of pro
ducing sixteen lights, each equal to thirty-
two five feet gas burners. Last evening the
menagerie tent was illuminated by three
burners and the main tent by six burners,
and the effect was an illumination almost
equal to daylight. If the lights were shaded
with ground glass globes, as they are at
most of the parks at the North where the
light Is in use, they would not be so painful
to the eye. . ,
The collection of animals is good, and
includes a man monkey, from Africa, a
singular looking semi-human creature, with
a nose resembling a patch Of the Star Span
gled Banner.
As usual, before the performance was
through, the dismantling of the tents was
commenced, and when the arena perform
ance closed, the menagerie had disappeared
from the place, and the circus tent began to
collapse, and there was a general move
ment of everything towards the depot.
They left on a special train at 11 o’clock for
Augusta, via 8avannah and Charleston Rail
road and Magnolia route.

Daring both the afternoon and evening
performances at the circus tents yester
day the pickpockets were industriously
at work, and numerous losses are re
ported. The great crowd enabled these
gentry to ply their nefarious occu
pation to advantage, and they were
not slow to profit by it. Many imagine that
these fellows are imported thieves, so to
speak, and had followed in the wake of the
circus, but while there were doubtless many
such, it should be remembered that we
unfortunately have some very sharp
rascals of this ilk in our own community,and
developments show that several of the rob
beries were perpetrated by some of the
same gang that have infested the Market.
In the afternoon a lady, the wife of
a popular young druggist, lost a valu
able gold locket and chain, the thief
quickly snatching it from her, but iu
the crowd it was impossible for her to
detect who it was. Quite a number had
their pocketbooks transferred to other
quarters, and several gentlemen who had
gone into the tents the possessors of hand
some and valuable revolvers, were indig
nant and amazed subsequently to find their
weapons had mysteriously disappeared.
Joe Killeus, colored, was secured by
Policeman Leach, having been caught in
the act of picking the pocket of a young
lady who was inspecting the menagerie.
In the scramble for tickets a number of
parties dropped their change, and in stoop-
tog to secure it had their pockets picked by
thieves who were in the crowd.
Last night as a well known gentleman was
coming out from the tent after the per
formance, he suddenly discovered that his
handsome gold watch was gone, and re
marking this to two friends who
were with him, they instinctively made
a grab for tbelr vest pockets, when to their
horror they found they had been likewise
relieved, and doubtless there were many
others who similarly suffered and who will
be heard of to-day.
During the evening Sergeant Harvey, who
had been on the lookout for these fellows,
espied a notorious negro known as
Jack Gransberry, alias “Hickory Jack,”
inside the tent, acting in a suspicious
manner, and immediately approached him.
Some confusion occurred where this negro
was sittiDg, and Sergeant Harvey made a
grab for him. There was slight resistance,
but Hickory was soon secured and turned
over to an officer and sent to the barracks.
It is suspected that he is the fellow who
stole the locket from the lady above referred
to, as be was seen manoeuvring around in
the crowd in the afternoon. 8everal other
negroes are under suspicion of being con
cerned in these thefts, and several were ar
rested.

A Duel to be FougUt Near Savannah
Two well known gentlemen of South
Carolina left their respective homes yester
day to settle with shotguns a difficulty
which originated from a conversation re
garding the efficacy of Kleffer’s Peruvian
Cure. One being a druggist, and claiming
his preparation to be superior, and the other
having been saved from impending death
by the use of the Peruvian Cure, a quarrel
arose, which resulted in & challenge being
sent and accepted. Kleffer’s Peruvian Cure
never fails to cure chill and fever, and can
be procured of any druggist or country
dealer at 25c. a bottle. nov7-tf

The announcement of the death of the
Rev. Dr. Lovlck Pierce, at bis residence in
Sparta, on Sunday night, has already been
announced briefly. The following sketch of
the venerable preacher will, however, be
peculiarly interesting to the hundreds in
Savannah and elsewhere, who knew, loved
and revered him:
Dr. Pierce was bora in Halifax county, N.
C., March 24th, 1785, and was consequently
in .the ninety-fifth year of his age at the
time of his death. Early in life his parents
moved to Barawell county, 8. C., where,
with only six mouths’ previous schooling,
he entered the Methodist ministry In 1804.
We are indebted to the “History of
Methodism in Georgia and South Carolina”
for the following points:
The Conference of 1805 met at Charleston
on January 1, Bishop Asbury presiding. At
this Conference Reddick and Lovick Fierce
were admitted on trial; Reddick was twenty-
two, and Lovick not quite twenty years
old. Reddick was sent as junior preacher
on the Little River Circuit, Georgia; Lovick
on the Great Pedee, In South Carolina.
There was a striking contrast between the
two brothers. Reddick was vigorous in
body as in mind. He was strong, brave,
daring. He rather enjoyed than recoiled
from perils. He cared little for refinement
or culture, never aimed at polish, or sought
for elegance of manner or speech. Lovick,
on the contrary, was gentle as a woman,
shrinking, sensitive and timid. His desire
for cnltnre of the highest kind was intense,
and his taste was for all the refinements of
life.
Lovick Pierce was sent to the new Apa
lachee circuit with Joseph Tarpley. This
circuit included Greene,Clarke and Jackson.
He was but little over twenty years old and
as timid as a fawn. His sensibilities were
unusually acute, and his aspirations of
the highest and noblest kind. He
had an exalted Idea of the responsibilities
and of the lofty demands of the ministry,
and a painful sense of his deficiencies. His
circuit threw him into the presence of peo-
>le as highly cultured as any in Georgia,
le was a born preacher and he was in a
school to make one. He began his Georgia
istry a plain, untutored, but highly
gifted boy. He never left the State for any
length of time afterwards. A few appoint
ments he had outside of it, but his home
was always in it, save for one year. For
over seventy years the life of Georgia
Methodism and of Lovick Pierce move on
together. Two generations and more are
gone since he came to Georgia in 1806. A
few old men may remember when they
were children to have heard the good and
gifted young circuit rider preach wonderful
sermons, but they are few. He left his
home in South Carolina to travel a circuit
which led him to the very wigwam of the
Indian, and. e without a teacher, to secure by
constant diligence that knowledge for which
he had such craving appetite. Hope Hull,
whose criticism the young preacher so fear
ed,was at Hall’s meeting house to hear him,
and as from beneath his great overhanging
eyebrows, his piercing eye fell upon Lovick
Pierce, he saw a man who was to bless the
church, and he took him to his home and
heart. When Hull died twelve years after
this, young Dr. Pierce, then in the bright
ness of his fame, preached the funeral ser
mon of the old hero.
On the 24th of last March, his birthday,
Dr. Pierce wrote to the church the following
greeting:
“my ninety fifth birthday.
“Truly the light is sweet and a pleasant
thing It Is for the eyes to behold the sun;
but if a man live many years and rejoice in
them all, yet let him remember the days of
darkness, for they Ehall be many.
“Life, as a whole, is like light—It is em
phatically sweet. But there is always some
discount—sometimes pretty large. Yet the
world, as a home for probationers, is ‘very
;ood. And it has fitted me so well that I
jave never been packing up and hurrying
away because the old, flue boat of Saint6—
on the river of death, all the time going and
coming—leaves on its embarking wharf no
one uncalled for.
Well, 1 am willing. All I am careful
about is, when my time comes to be both
ready and willing.
“Daring December, January and Febru
ary, I lay and looked into death’s large en
campment; looked for the undertakers to
come and put an end to this family memo
rial. But here I am. I know not for what
final end. But I do know there is an end
with God to be attained by keeping me here
at this time. At this time I have nothing in
view,‘.except, if it be Bis will, that I may,
in some sort, as an actual relict of early
Methodism, bridge the ebasm between the
jast and the present. God has made me, as
] ond friends have expressed it, ‘the Nestor’
among them. To show more fully to our
people the power and excellence of un
adulterated Methodism, I wish to write my
own biography. Whether I shall be spared
to do this, God knoweth.
“But before I leave this world, I desire to
testify, as to myself, in its favor. It is a
good world. As a world, God did his best
on it and in it*—The Spirit never asked the
question: ‘Who will show us any good?’
He could not. and inquire in the next
breath, ‘Wbat shall we render unto God for
all bis benefits towards us?’ As to what we
ought to do in return, the Spirit tells us at
once: ‘Let ua take the cup of salvation and
call upon the name of the .Lord.’ In a word,
it is to be an open, devout profession of re
ligion. In this connection it is the grand,
the glorious moral phenomenon, universally
felt to be true, that the light of God’6 coun
tenance, lifted up upon us, is the soul’s
panacea.”
In December, 1S0G, in the house of John
Lucas, in Sparta, Bishop Asbury ordained
Lovick Pierce deacon, at the end of his sec
ond year in the itinerant ministry. In the
old “Lucas” house was born, some months
ago. Doctor Pierce’s first great-great-grand-

The Wonderful Plaster.
Benson’s Capcine Porous Plaster is cer
tainly the best remedy for a certain class
of diseases and ailments ever devised or
known. It has the most powerful effect on
the system, and yet it is very pleasant and
convenient to wear. Females suffering
from pain and weakness peculiar to their
sex will derive great comfort and strength
from its use. For a neglected, cough or
heavy cold place one over the breast bone
and one between the shoulder blades. It is
the one and only treatment which should be
applied to children afflicted with whoopiDg
cough, ordinary coughs or colds, croup in
its early stages or any lung or chest diffi
culty. It is also specially recommended for
lameness and weaknes of the back, rheu
matism, sciatica, lumbago, kidney disease,
sprains and all local aches and pains. It is
a great Improvement on the common, slow-
acting porous plaster, for it relieves pain at
once, and cures where other plasters will
not even relieve. Sold by all druggists.
