Death of One ot the Oldent and Mont
Respected Citizens of Effingham
County.
We regret to chronicle the death of Mr.
G. Dasher, which took place at his resi
dence in Effingham county on the 10th
inst. Mr. Dasher had been a life-long
resident of the county, haviDg been born
there on the 3d day of April, 1709, conse
quently was in the eighty-second year of
his age at the time of his death. He had
been a successful farmer, and up to a week
within bis death was actively engaged on
his farm. lie leaves a wife and four chil
dren, one of the latter (Mrs. B. C. Wright)
living in this city.
Hearing Pootponed.
The case of the abatement of an alleged
nuisance, in which Dr. James J. Waring and
others are plaintiffs, and William F. Car
michael is the defendeut, and which was set
for a hearing to-day in the City Court room
before Magistrates Molina and Russell, and
a special jury* of twelve free holders, has, in
consequence of engagements of counsel in
the United States Court, been postponed
until further notice.
The alleged nuisance consists in the erec
tion by Mr. Carmichael of three gates on
the Coston Bluff road, which Pr. Waring
and others regard as a nuisance, and seek to
have abated.
Tho Stoc k Market.
The market for Central stock yesterday
opened quiet at 92 bid.92 1 asked, .sales being
made during the day at 92’*, 92, 91^j, 01 ly
and 91. In all, the sales for the day reached
some 1,200 shares, the market closing weak
at 90 bid and 91 asked. City bonds were
very quiet at 79L> bid, 80 asked; no sales.
Southwestern guaranteed was quoted at 10f
bid, 107}.j asked; no 6ales. Georgia Rail
road stock was quoted at 104 bid, 105 asked,
with sales of 150 shares at 104. All other
securities were dull and unchanged.
A Stray Horae and Phaeton.
About seven o’clock Tuesday evening, as
two young men were walking along the
canal bank, having gone there to view the
ruins of the late explosion, and while thu^
occupied, a runaway horse, with phaeton
attached, attracted their attention. The
horse was stopped by one of the young
men, but not before one of the wheels was
broken. Nobody appeared to claim the
team, so they brought it up to one of the
stables on West Broad street, where they
left It for a claimant.
A Temperance Lecture.
A white man, Dame unknown, was picked
up in the vicinity of the Market yesterday
afternoon by a policeman, evidently far gone
in the road to ruin, and suffering with de
lirium tremens. He was conveyed to the
barracks and subsequently sent to the hos
pital by direction of Pr. Bullock, where he
will be cared for until reason resumes her
sway, if she is not entirely dethroned by
ieng and excessive indulgence In strong
driufc. This was the only case reported at
the barrai-Ue. yesterday up to midnight.
East Ntellt oi the Season.
The skating season closes with a skating
and dancing entertainment—two hours de

exhilarating exercise there will doubtless
be a large attendance. See the announce
ment elsewhere.

The Recent 71111 Dlaaoter.
Diligent inquiry yesterday reveals no
further particulars that might throw light
upon the recent disaster which destroyed
two human lives—the only lips that might
have given the immediate cause of the ac
cident, as is generally the case in 6uch ter
rible experiences, being hushed in death.
The Impression which existed, that others
were killed besides those mentioned in the
Morning News’ account of the explosion,
has yielded to the facts stated in that account,
which have been sustained by the most dili
gent search among the ruins, In the canal
and in the adjoining fields, revealing no
trace of any other bodies.
The statements, therefore, of those who
were present and able to give a statement
of the number who were at the mill at the
time of the explosion, and which have al
ready been given to our readers, must be
taken as conclusive as to the loss of life
by the disaster.
We visited yesterday the four who were
wounded, and found them doing well and
receiving all the care and attention neces
sary. None of them are fatally injured, and
in a few days they will be able to resume
their avocations, If no change other than
that at presert observable in their cases
supervene.
Of course the destruction to the mill and
contents was completed by the fire, and the
terrible force of the explosion is seen in the
condition of the boilers as they now 6tand.
The immense mass of iron scattered around
and at considerable distance, indicates the
terrible force which rent the boiler and
dealt death and destruction arou nd.
As stated in the News yesterday, all of the
remains of the unfortuuate Mr. Torrent,
excepting one leg, were found. The upper
part of the body, with the head, wa9 found
in the panal, on a line betwjen the destroyed
mill and the place where the leg was picked
up in the morning. The Ipwer part of the
body was found near by. Under the 4irec-
tlon of the undertaker, Mr. Ferguson,
friends with loving hands and tender
care placed the remains in a metallic
casket for burial, which was taken to
the residence of his mother and brother, on
Broughton street, where they remained
until the funeral, which took place yester
day afternoon from the Cathedral of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help. A large cortege,
including the E. M. P. I. Society, conveyed
them to beautiful Bonaventure,where Father
Reilly performed the last rites, the choir of
the church assisting.
From all that can be gleaned Mr. Torrent
must have been attempting to lift the
safety valve cr been examining Into a leak
when the catastrophe occurred which so
suddenly ended his earthly career.
All day the scene of the ruius was visited
by numbers of citizens, attracted by the ex
aggerated statements that the remains of
others were buried beneath them or sunken
in the waters of the cansl.
The force employed at the mill was on
the day of the explosion not as large as
were generally at work, it being an off day,
and all who were known to have been there
are accounted for.

MISCELLANEOUS*
Alderman Montmollin asked for some
action to be taken on the subject of the re
sale of city lots, re-entered for non-payment
of grouud rent. He was informed as to
what action had been taken by serving the
proper notice upon parties desiring to secure
deeds to the same.
The Mayor informed Council that Police
man O’Keefe had been dismissed the force
for neglect of duty and drunkenness, and
that Policernau Buckley had been suspended
temporarily, pending' investigation of a
charge of neglect of duty preferred against
him. The action of the Mayor was con
firmed.
The Mayor stated that a visit of inspection
would be made to-day by him and the Health
Officer to the quarantine station, and in
viting Council to accompany him on said
visit. The steamer will leave at 12 o’clock m,
Republican Blue* Prize Drill.
The prize drill of the Blues, had at their
hall last evening, was an interesting occa
bIod, quite a number of ladies and gentle
men being present to witness the peaceful
contest with warlike appendages.
Promptly at S:30 p. m. the company was
called to “Attention” by ^ts commander,
Captain Mercer, and the drill commenced.
Sixteen contestants for the honorable dis
tinction of being the best drilled man in the
corps were in tbe ranks, which number, un
der a severe test of thirty minutes duration,
was decreased to seven, who, for thirty min
utes more, bore themselves like good sol
diers. At the expiration of that time the
number had been reduced to five, namely:
Sergeants J. M. Maccaw, W. B. Spann, E.
S. Muse, C. W. Lufburrow and private J.
W. Wilson, Jr.
The drill being resumed, they fell out in
the following order : Sergeant Muse first,
Private Wilsou second, Sergeant Maccaw
third, and Sergeant Spann fourth, leaving
Sergeant Lufburrow the victor and winner
of the first prize—a gold medal. Sergeant
Spann being the next best, was adjudged
the second prize, also a gold medal.
The prizes were presented by Private
John W. Wilson, Jr., in a neat speech, and
as a further honorable mention of profi
ciency the commander ordered the names
of the last five contestants to be bulletined
in the drill room for the space of one year.
After the dismissal of the company, music
and refreshments being in readiness, a
pleasant time was indulged in by all present
so inclined, and thus the evening sped
happily away.
The medals are to be worn by the winners
until won from them in a regular prize
drill.
The Color Line Drawn.
The Radical Convention at Atlanta, at
least that portion of it which is denomi
nated the “Pale-face” faction, having dis
gusted their sable brethren in this part of
the State, the Executive Committee of the
Republicans of Chatham county have pro
mulgated this call:
“A Republican mass meeting will be held
in Mplntire Hall on Friday night, April 30,
at ejght o’clock. Every colored citizen is
respectfully invited to attend. This will be
one of the most interesting meetings that
was ever held by the colored people of Chat
ham county. Several delegates from other
counties will be present to address the meet
ing. Among those expected is the Hon.
James Blue, of Brunswick, and several
others who attended the Atlanta
Convention, and you will be in
formed of the truth of the foul
play by the custom house machine clique of
this city. We hope that the colored people
will t urn out strong,and hear for themselves
the white Republicans strike a color line.
Since the Atlanta Convention, in the upper
part of Georgia, we will assure our pale
face brethren that we can do without them,
and joy go with them. Come one, come all,
and rally to this interested call.
“By order of the
“Executive Committee of the Republi
cans of Chatham County.”

Twenty-Seventh Annual Report.
The Board of Managers of the Protestant
Episcopal Orphans Home respectfully sub
mit to the Bishop of the Diocese and the
friends of the Home their twenty seventh
annual
REPORT.
Through God's loving kindness we are
permitted to see another Eister—to partici
pate in this glorious festival of the church,
the resurreciion of our Lord, and through
His goodness to celebrate our twenty-6event h
anniversary.
We have been truly blessed in our Home
during the past twelve months. Our people
have given generously of their supplies for
the support of the children, and we have
been enabled to add to our income by tbe
disposition of stock which for a long time
we thought would be perfectly useless.
We have had do deaths among the chil
dren, and but very little sickness.
At our last anniversary we reported twen
ty-eight children in the Home—this year we
have cared for the same number, though at
present there are but seventeen in the
Home. Homes have been provided for the
others, and our accounts of the absent ones
are very satisfactory. Four of the girls
have gone to Bulloch county.
Daring the past year we have made a
change in our Matron. Mrs. Reagan wa6
elected to this position and is filling it most
satisfactorily.
In consequence of Mrs. Gammell’s resig
nation from the Board, Miss Haywood was
elected to fill her position as Secretary.
In the midst of our many and varied bless
ings the Home has been severely afflicted
in the loss of Dr. Yonge, who, for many
years, has given his faithful attendance and
Valuable services to the Home. Much will
he be missed, and deeply do we mourn his
death. To his afflicted family we offer our
heartfelt sympathy.
Dr. Elliott has kindly consented to give
his professional services to the Home, and
to him we return our thanks.
To us now remains the oft repeated pleas
ure and duty of thanking all those who have
assisted us in caring for the orphans under
our charge. At the same time that we thank
them, we beg that they will not grow weary
In well doing, but continue their generous
work, remembering those beautiful words:
“Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the
least of these, my brethren, ye did it unto
Me.” Mary' E IIaywood, Secretary.

A Praiseworthy Tlovemcm.
Editor Morning yews: Allow me a short
space in your valuable journal to bring be
fore the public, particularly my people, the
great danger of the lives of our dear chil
dren who attend the West Broad Street
Free School. While we are truly thankful
to God for the blessing of tbe gift of that
building by one of our honorable white
citizens of Savannah, I now think the time
has ccme in which we should improve it.
Let us as colored people come together tn a
mass: let the churches unite with us, and I
am satisfied we can raise five thousand
dollars in twelve months. That building
is old, and if it is not pulled down and a
new one erected, I tell you, my colored
friends, one of these days Savannah will
mourn tbe loss of hundreds of children
buried up in the ruins of that building. It
will fall. It is unsafe, and now let us go to
work at once. I know Rev. Alexander
Harris. Rev. Gibbons, Rev. Houston and
Elder Noble will take the lead in this affair,
and consult with the Trustees and Board of
Education, also W. G. Clark. Let us go to
work at once. Abraham Burke.
We publish the above communication
from Abraham Burke, a well known repre;
sentative colored man in Savannah. We
think his fears altogether groundless as to
the condition of the West Broad Street
Colored School building. It has stood the
storms of many a year, and is one of the
staunchest buildings in the city. As to its
falling down, we venture the assertion that
so far from falling it would be found a
difficult matter to pull it down. However,
we think that great improvements might be
made on it for the purposes for which it is
now used, and if the colored people can in
a twelvemonth raise the sum stated and
apply it to the modification and moderniza
tion of the building, it would be an act
worthy of all praise, and one that would tell
for their credit in coming time.
Interesting to Housekeepers.
To those of our readers who are contem
plating making any additions to their house
hold we would suggest a visit to the ele
gant and extensive establishment of Messrs.
lAllen & Lindsay, on Broughton street. This
firm, noted for their enterprise and energy,
have stocked their extensive warerooms
with a magnificent lot of furniture
of every description, and are en
abled through the facilities they
possess to offer the very lowest prices to
the public. Among their recent receipts
are fifty refrigerators of the latest patents
in walnut and ash. with water cooler com
bined. These refrigerators are of a style I
that will add to the appearance of a dining
room and they possess the merit of saving
the consumption of ice. No family should
be without one.
■They are also in receipt of 250 rolls of the
most handsome patterns of matting, select
ed with special care, and al6o a large assort
ment of the latest styles of window shades,
lace curtains, and an extensive stock of up
holstery goods generally. An inspection of
their extensive warerooms, 169 and 171
Broughton street, would certainly well repay
those who are in need of anything to be
found in a large and first class furniture and
carpet emporium. mh27-d«&wtfH
