Tlie John T. Ford Dramatic Amo*
elation—Parlor Entertainment.
The above well known votaries of Thespis
have prepared a programme for their popu
lar entertainment at Mozart Hall on Friday
evening next which cannot fail to attract a
large audience of their friends and well
wishers, as also the lovers of dramatic ren
ditions. They have availed themselves of a
large amount of home talent, which, added
to their own, will result In a pleasant and
agreeable entertainment without doubt.
The trial scene In the “Merchant of
Venice,*’ with the gifted elocutionist, Miss
Louise Clarke, as “Portia,” will be an inter
esting feature. Professor Mallette also Is a
big card in the musical line. And the old
farce, “Taming the Shrew,” Is selected as
the wind up of the occasion. The price of
admission being only twenty-five cents,
places a really pleasurable and rational eve
ning’s enjoyment within the reach of all,
and we bespeak for them a crowed house.

Last Night.
A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
The regular meeting of the Savannah
Temperance Reform Club was held last
evening, and although the number in at
tendance was not so numerous as on previous
occasions, the meeting was more than usu
ally interesting, both as respects the talks
which were given by several members of
the club, and the results in the addition of
a number of young men to the membership
of the club and their coming out under the
banner of total abstinence.
The meeting was opened by singing “Cold
Water is Our Motto.*’ and prayer by R^v.
Richard Webb, chaplain of the club. After
siDging “Rescue the Perishing,” the Presi
dent called upon Rev. Mr. Carter, who, in
an interesting talk, spoke of the good
results accomplished by the club In
the temperance work in Savannah,
and the influence for good which
the friends of temperance, through
this organization* was exerting In the com
munity. In his daily intercourse with those
around him he had found from experience
that good was being accomplished; that a
higher moral fentlment was being culti
vated which could Dot but prove beneficial
to society and to the cause of God.
He was followed by the Secretary, Mr.
Lamotte, in an earnest appeal for the cause,
upon the ground of the final triumph of
truth. He showed that all great ends are
accomplished by small means, and that the
small, and to Eome, insignificant gatherings
of the friends of morality and truth—for
temperance was morality and truth—were
exciting a powerful Influence towards the
full accomplishment of the aphorism,
“ Truth is mighty and will prevail.” He
read some extracts showing the progress of
the cause in Georgia, Carolina and Mary
land, which were suggestive and pertinent,
and full of good cheer to the friends of the
cause.
Mr. Lamotte was followed by Rev. Rich
ard Webb, who presented the pledge in a
very pleasant little talk, and with effect,
eight young men coming forward and en
listing in the good fight for the war.
After singiDg, “Rescue the Perishing”
and “Almost Persuaded,” the report of the
Executive Committee on the recent enter
tainment was made, showing the gratifying
result of fifty-nine dollars turned over to
the treasury of the club to assist in paying
for the chairs purchased for the use of the
club.
Vice President Starke made a few well-
timed remarks on the good work accom
plished, and Mr.. Ashby urged the impor
tance of a larger attendance at the meet
ings.
On motion of Mr. Bates, of the Executive
Committee, a vote of thanks was returned
to Master Myers, a member of the club, for
his zeal and energy displayed In the sale of
tickets at the last entertainment of the club.
After singing the doxology the club ad
journed to meet next Tuesday evening at 8
o’clock.

EXPLOSION OF A HILL BOILER.
Two Killed and Six Wounded.
A few minutes of twelve o’clock m. yes
terday, the business portion of the city was
startled by a shock, a9 though some heavy
piece of ordnance had been fired, and with
in a few minutes after the wildest rumors
prevailed upon the streets. It was reported
that the colored school building on West
Broad street had fallen down, and again,
that the boiler of the paper mill had ex
ploded, killing a number of persons.
Following quickiy upon these came the
correct solution of the report, which was
found to be caused bv the explosion of the
boiler of the saw and shingle mill, formerly
the Beach mill, situated on the west bank
of the Canal, at the foot of Zuolv street,
now owned and operated by Mr. Foy and
others, and superintended by Capt. Joseph
F. Torrent.
On arriving at the scene of the disaster,
a scene of wild excitement prevailed. The
wails of negro women, the frantic rushing
of men, and the burning mill, made up a
picture of helpless abandonment that it
would be impossible to describe. Here a
large crowd surrounded a portion of the re
mains of one of the victims. There another
large crowd assembled around the mutilated
body of another victim, added to which the
frantic grief of Capt. Joseph F. Torrent on
finding that l^s brother was one of the
killed by the explosion. It was utterly im-
)Ossible at the time to collect any reliable
nformation as to the extent of the damage
done to human life. The most exaggerated
statements were made.
After the excitement had somewhat sub
sided, representatives of the News went in
search of reliable Information as to the cause
of the disaster and the extent of the loss of
human life, and finally succeeded in tracing
out all that ever will be known concerning
the cause of the explosion. There is little
doubt that the explosion was caused bv
turning on cold water on aa overheated
boiler which had no water in it.
A negro named Scott Brown, who had
formerly been the engineer and fireman of
the establishment, but who was cultivating
a field adjoining the mill, states that but a
few minutes before the explosion he left
the field where he was ploughing and went
to the mill shed £o get the dipper to get
some water; that the fireman was engaged
In putting in fuel to the boiler, and he re
marked as he passed out; “You are making
a heavy fire with no water In the boiler.”
He had just reached the field, which was
but a short distance, when the explosion
took place. How Brown knew that there
was no water In the boiler, he did not ex
plain.
William Frazier, colored, one of the badly
wounded, an old negro, the watchman and
sometimes fireman at the engine, states that
he was at the furnace door of the boiler
“firing up,” and that Mr. Lewis N. Torrent
was on top of the boiler fixing something
there when the explosion occurred, and he
must have been blown to fragments. Gov
ernor Williams, colored, a very intelligent
negro, and an employe of the mill, was in
the act of crossing the canal to go into the
mill and had reached the middle when the
explosion occurred. He was entirely un
hurt, and furnished the News representa
tive with the following as the names of all
who were in the employ of the mill at the
time of the explosion:
Mr. Lewis N. Torrent, Superintendent,
killed: a portion of his body, one leg, beiug
found at the corner of Pine and Lumber
streets.
George Hughes, colored, engineer and
fireman, killed. The larger portion of his
body was found near the canal bank, at the
foot of Margaret street, and near by was
found the boiler braces.
Max StevesoD, colored, shingle sawyer,
slightly hurt.
John Stiles, colored, worked at the join
ter, was hurt in the bead and stunned.
John Green, colored, was bolting the
blocks in the shed attached to the mill:
slightly cut In the face.
William Frazier, colored, watchman, and
sometimes fired up, seriously injured by a
punctured wound in the back.
Abraham Stewart, colored, packer of shin
gles, scalded in the face; not seriously in
jured.
Benjamin Green, colored, hurt in tne arm,
not seriously.
Governor Williamson, colored, mill hand,
unhurt.
Johnny Braig, colored boy, unhurt.
From which it will be seen that two were
killed, one seriously injured, four slightly
inj red, and two uninjured.
Capt. 8. P. Goodwin and Capt. C. F.
Stubbs were in the oat field of the former’s
place just In rear of the mill at the time of
the explosion. They state that they heard
the noise, and looking toward the mill they
saw timber aud debris flying in every direc
tion. They immediately rushed to the spot.
Four colored men emerged from the north
6ide of the structure covered with dirt and
sawdust, one of whom wAs wounded in the
side. They all, however, managed te walk
away. One other man was seen to
leave the building from the south side. At
this time the fire had just started, and with
a few buckets would have extinguished the
flames, but none could be had. These gen
tlemen went around the building to see if
any one was caught under the ruins, but no
sound could be near 1.
Captain Jos. F. Torrent had only left the
premises a short time before the explosion
to go up town on business, and returned on
hearing of the disaster. He was almost
frautic at the death of his brother, and It
was only with the utmost exertion that he
was restrained from Injuring himFelf. He
was at last taken away by his friends.
The fire alarm was not sounded until fully
a half hour after the explosion, and when
the engines arrived the outer building, to
gether with the skeleton of a propeller on
the stocks, to be built for the rice trade,
had been consumed. The mill, as stated,
was the property of Mr. Foy, on the Central
Railroad.
About fifteen houses in the vicinity of the
explosion were found to be on fire, caused,
doubtless, by the force of the explosion
6endiDe the sparks and ienited cinders to a
great distance. They were put out without
much trouble, by the promptness of the flro-
men when they reached the scene.
Mr. Lewis N.Torrent was a young, unmar
ried man, about thirty years of age, and a
very exemplary and worthy citizen.
Acting Coroner £saac Jlusseli, t
an inquest on the oody of iteorec Hughes
yesterday afternoon at i o’clock, the jury
returning a verdict of death by the explo
sion of the boiler as above stated.
IHQUB9T OS THE BODY OF Mil. TORRENT.
Diligent search was made throughout the
afternoon of yesterday for the remainder of
the body of the unfortunate J>- N. Torrent,
and the search was rewarded late in the
afternoon by finding the remains in two de
tached parts in different parts of the canal.
The bead was found about one hundred
yards from the mill, and the larger part of
the bouy at a pojpt somewhat nearer
the scene of the accident, also in the
canal, Mr. Blair haviDg drawn off
seme of the water to facilitate the
search. The remains were recognised by
friends of the unfortunate deceased from
the general look of the beail and from
fragments of clothes worn by deceased at
the time of the aocideut.
Acting Coroner Isaac Russell, Esq., was
notified of the fact, and the remains having
been conveyed to the residence of Major
N. O. Tilton, he proceeded to hold
an inquest. The body was iden
tified, and after some evidence,
which, however, threw no light on the Im
mediate cause of the accident, the lury
rt-naered a verdict that tl.e deceased, Louis
N. Torrent, catnc to his death by the ex
S losion of a boiler in the Bblngle mill of C.
. Foy, said raiU being situated on the west
side of the Ogeechee Canal, In the city of
Savannah.
The remains were taken last nlebt to the
residence of Mrs. Torrent, on Broughton
street. The funeral will take place from
the Catbeura* of Qur Lady of Perpetual
Help at four o’clock this afUrnooi), the
preparations for that purpose having been
tenderly aud skillfully made by Mr. Dugald
Ferguson.
THE CONDITION OF THE WOUNDED LAST
NIGHT.
Dr. Falligant, who Is attending upon sev
eral of the wounded, last night reported
their condition as follows :
John Green, colored, Is severely bruised
about the head and face, witn several
lacerated cuts on the forehead and right
temple, and Is in considerable danger of
erysipelas.
John Stiles, mulatto, is suffering with se
vere concussion of the brain, from a con
tused wound upon the forehead, and the
prognosis in both of these cases is uncer
tain.
Bill Frazier, the watchman, Is badly in
jured, and was taken out of the mill by Dr.
Falligant, just as the fire broke out, and he
and Green were brought over by the doctor

AN HISTORIC TREE.
A Piece of the Oak from which the
Slem Post of the Frigate Constitu
tion was Cut.
Dr. R. J. Massey, of St. Simon’s Island,
who edits the Island department of the
Brunswick* Advertiser, is in the city, and has
left at the Morning News office a piece of
the oak from which the stem post of the
frigate Constitution, “Old Ironsides,” was
cut. Dr. M. has written a number of inter
esting historical sketches of St. Simon’s
and the neighboring islands, and his contri
butions to local history are valuable and
readable.
From the Advertiser of the 17th we copy
the following account of the live oak which
is so closely Identified with the story of the
achievements of the great American frigate
of the olden times:
‘Through the courtesy of Mr. M. R.
Shadman, of Cannon’s Point, on this island,
we are presented with an interesting relic in
the shape of a piece of live oak, cut from
the trunk of a tree felled at least ninety
years ago. At the acknowledgment of her
Independence from Great Britain, the
United States had no navy—cot even a
single vessel. During the session of her
first Congress (assembled in Philadelphia in
the fall of 1788i two important acts were
passed, one to elect a President and the other
to establish and maintain a navy. In ac
cordarue with the latter act, three frigates,
to be named the United Spates, Constella
tion ami Constitution, were ordered to be
built. The timber? of the Constitution
were cut among the live oak forests of the
islands of St. Simon and Cumberland. The
most important and by far the most difficult
piece of timber to find—the stem-point—
was cut at Cannon’s Point from a tree, the
stump of which was afterwards enclosed in
the garden of Mr. John (Jouper, a very
•romtnent gentleman in our early history.
be stump is now on the grounds of Mr.
Shadman, wbo presented us with the
specimen before us, which, though
almost a centenarian, bids fair, from
its present sound appearance, to
withstand the storms of another
century and the scorching rays of
as many Southern summer suns. Often
days and even weeks have been spent In
hunting for a tree suitable for the stem-post
of a frigate, and fabulous prices have some
times been paid for such a tree. Now to
this fact there is additional interest to all
lovers of the history of our country, and
especially to those who have at all kept
posted, when It Is remembered that the Con
stitution was the very first American vessel
to achieve a naval victory. By some means,
perchance by birds, the seed of the bay or
laurel was deposited in this stump. From
this has 6pruog a flourishing tree, which is
now at least two feet in diameter aud thirty
feet high.”
The Savannah Bor* at the Charles
ton Schnetzenfest.
The twenty-fifth anniversary celebration
of the Charleston (3. C.) Schuetzen Is being
conducted In fine 6tvle in the old City by the
Sea, and was inaugurated on Monday by a
grand parade and procession out to the
Schuetzen Park, the pleasant recreation
ground of the Germans of our sister city.
The delegation from our own Schuetzen
and the Werner Hook and Ladder Com
pany, which left here on Sunday last, it will
be seen, bear a conspicuous part In the cele
bration. We take the following extract from
the Charleston Xtte* and Courier's account
of the first day’s proceedings, from which it
will be seen that our boys an* being properly
cared for, aud are enjoying themselves:
“As an introduction to the fest, however,
It is necessary to revert to the events of
Sunday night. It was announced that a
delegation from the Werner Hook and Lad
der Company of Savannah and one from the
Schuetzen of the same city would arrive. A
committee of the German Fire Company,
under the lead of Vice-President BittersohD,
were accordingly dispatched on the outgoing
train and met the visitors at John’s
Island Ferry, while a reserve force of the
Charleston Scbu^'zen, under Capt. Alex.
Melchers, were held at the dtpotiu this city
to take charge of the prisoners upon their
arrival. The advance force of firemen car
ried an abundance of the munitions of war,
from the Palmetto Brewery, and conquered
the invading force from the Forest City
without a struggle. The following is a list
of the visitors:
VWerner Hook and Ladder Company—
President, H. F. Lubs; First Foreman, A.
H. Tamm; Second Foreman, J. M. Asen-
dorf: Secretary, H. W. Rail: J. F. Lubs,
III. Ruck, J. If H. Entelmann, J. H. Immen,
J. F. Wiehrs, H. Wiehrs, J. A. Honig, J.
Schwarz, Thomas O’Neill, II. Helmken, J.
Wobltmann, F. Scbwarz.
“Many of the firemen arc also members
lof the Savannah Schuetzen, among them
Captain John Schwarz,the popular President
of the club and the ex-Captain of the Ger
man Volunteers. Captain Schwarz, It may
be remarked, is the Alexander Melchers of
the Forest City. The guests were taken in
charge upon their arrival by the Reserves
and escorted to their quarters at the Hilbers
House.
■'Arrived at the Schuetzenplatz, Captain
Melchers, the genial and popular President
of the Charleston Schuetzen, first took
occasion to make his guests feel at home by
the welcome announcement—In the ver
nacular—that he bad no 6et speech to
make. In a few well-timed words he bade
a hearty wele*. me to the visitors from Sa
vannah, alluding to the pleasant time that
the Charleston Schuetzen had always had
when they invaded the Forest City, aud
assuring them that they would be required
to do double duty during their 6tay here.
“ In response to three cheers for the Sa
vannah visitors, Capt. John Schwarz replied
briefly and heartily, and called upon his
command for three cheers for the Charles
ton Gesellschaft, a call which was heartily
obeyed, also In the vernacular of the Father
land. Capt. YIelchers then stated that Capt.
Schwarz had brought with him from the
Savannah Schuetzen a handsome Sharpe’s
riflp, which he begged, in behalf of his
comrades, to present to the Charleston
Gesellschaft, and a further present, consist
ing of a barrel of crackers and a box of
candy from his own manufactory, which he
desired to present to his Charleston brethren.
This announcement was received with three
more cheers, and the Schuetzen again de
voted their attention to the demolition of
tlip solids and fluids before them. 1 ’

Savannah, April 27.—Editor Morning
Actos: I 6ee by this morning’s News that
there has been a “Land and Labor League”
organized here, and that a copy of the reso

to be transmitted to Mr. Denis Kearney.
For the benefit and information of the Sec

Intereatlns to IIouMekeepers.
To those of our readers who are contem
plating making any additions to their house

have stocked their extensive warerooms
with a magnificent lot of furniture
of every description, and are en
abled through the facilities they

are fifty refrigerators of the latest patents

bined. These refrigerators are of a style
that will add to the appearance of a dining

the consumption of ice. No family should
