Died in this cit F* Friday morning, Au-
srust I3tb. l c 80. Edith Leonore, eldest daugh
ter of Charles E. and Annie M. Stults, aged 7
years and 53 days.
Peith. that ever unwelcome visitor, has In
vaded a once happy home, and snatched from
its midst one of its brightest jewels, prostrating
with grief the kind hearts of an affectionate
mother and fond father, and drawing the man-
tie of sorrow over a host of friends who knew
S j well the many noble tracks adorning li.tie
Indie s early life. Though only seveu years of
age she possessed a character which, coupled
with her sweet disposition and bright intellect,
made her the admiration and love of all who
knew he”, and the special favorite of her
youthful friends. Sweet little cherub, how we
shall miss your loving face, illumined with
smies. the mirror of your pure, unselfish
young heart. Would to God that you had been
spared, little darling, to fulfill the bright
promises of life's early morn. But weep not,
f,,nd parents, your litt'e cherub is only -asleep
in Jesus," in that realm above, where all is
bright and happy, and parting is no more.
ANOTHER 8AU CHAPTER.
“How short is life,”
How sweet is death.
Our days, alas: how few.
• This life Is but a mortal breath
That fades like morning dew.”
Died, in this city, Friday. August 20th, Car-
lotta Burton, daughter of Charles K. and
Annie M. Stults, aged 4 years 4 months and 50
days.
Twas just one week ago to-day that little
Eft'lie Stults was laid in her lAst resting place,
beneath the shades of Bonaventure. and now it
is our painful duty to add a deeper shade to
tin* pitiless gloom of woe.
Poor little Carlotta'. After a fearful strug
gle. wjth heartrending pain3, she answered her
Saviour's summons to join Kadie in heaven.
Patient little sufferer; how nobly she battled
for life, and oh! how sweetly she met death’s
calL Just before passing away to a better
world, the sweet little cherub called for
‘•Mamma” and ‘“Papa" to say “(Jood-bj-e.” and
when asked if she wantel to die and go to
heaven to see Eadie, Katie and Etta, a sister
and two little playmates, who were victims to
thesiine terrible disease, and had preceded
her only a few days, she replied Tn language
most beautiful: “Yes, and you must all come,
too.' Darling little girl, that sweet parting
will ever ring in the ears of those wuo wit
nessed it. Language c anuot express the heart
felt ssmpathv of the writer for the devoted
mother and fond father, whose hearts are now
o'er freighted with grief at the loss of their
little darlings. But weep not, fond parents,
for those two little new in tde mounds in Boaa-
wnture are but the portals to a b-ighter and
more beautiful scene iu heaven.

Important to mother*.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is the
Only thing that mothers can rely upon for
their children. It corrects acidity of the

bowels and gives rest, health aEd comfort

teething its value is incalculable. It softens
the gums, reduces inflammation and allays

Return ot the Knight* Templar
E. C. Win. S. Rockwell and P. E. (J.
Thomas Ballantyne, and the other members
of the detachment of Palestine Commandery
No. 7, with the exception of two Sir Knights
who stopped on the road ou busiuess, ar
rived safe in this city yesterday after a most
delightful pilgrimage to Chicago. The Sir
Knights arc almost at a loss for words to
describe the grand triennial conclave and
Its attendant festivities. The crowd in the
city was immense, and though apparently
everything was done that could be done to
accommodate them, there was of course
some inconvenience, but not so great as
might have been looked for.
Owing to delay in forming the line
on the occasion of the parade
through the city, the column was kept
in the hot sun for three hours, and
this exposure resulted iu some of the mem
bera having to fall out. Palestine Com
inandery, however, did not lose a man,
every Sir Kuight keeping in rauks till the
close of the march.
The breakfast given the officers of the
Grand Commanderies of the several States
by Beauseant Commandery, of Baltimore,
on the morning of the day previous to the
grand parade, is described as the most com
plete affair of the kind that could be
imagined. Though called breakfast, It was
an old-fashioned knightly feast, probably
similar to those which worried the good
Knights of the middle ages, and lasted Irom
11 a. m. to 4 p. m. Altogether, the grand
conclave celebration proved a success wor
thy of the great city iu which It was held.
The Freedman’s Bank—Another
Dividend*
The colored people of Savannah who were
depositors in this great swindle will be
pleased to learn that there is a prospect of
getting a moiety of their money. The fol
lowing telegram from Washington contains
the information:
“The Commissioners of the Freedman’s
Savings aud Trust Company have declared
a dividend of ten per cent., and will com
mence pajing the same ou the 18th of Sep
tember next. Payments will be made as
heretofore upon the presentation of pass
books or other evidence of the company’s
indebtedness by chick on the United States
Treasury. The amount required to pay this
dividend is $296,3(58 29, which, added to the
thirty per cent, heretofore declared and
special deposits paid, aggregates the sum
of $1,258,936 47, divided among the 0,1DO
creditors of the 33 branches of the com
pany. The Commissioners expect to pay
another dividend of ten per cent, when the
company’s banking house and adjacent
property Is sold and its oth^r assets are
finally disposed of.”

The annual review of the markets for the
commercial year will be issued on Satur
day, September 4th, and we propose to make
this edition a special feature, the same as
was done last year, and which met with such
a decided suppoxt from our enterprising
merchants. The review will be presented
la the form of a mammoth eight-
page sheet, 38x52 inches, and in size and
make up will eurpasa anything of the
kind which has ever been published
In Savannah, if not in the cotton growing
States. It will comprise an exhaustive sum
mary of the business of the city during the
previous twelve months, including its mer
cantile interests in all their various branches,
and also a resume of its shipping and com
mercial news for that period. This issue of
the Morning News will be one which every
citizen, whether a business man or not, will
take pride in sending abroad as an evidence
of the prosperity of the city and section in
which he lives, and will give to those who
have never before examined Into the matter
a proper appreciation of Savannah’s impor
tance as the great commercial emporium of
the two most progressive States in the South
ern section of the American Union.
The Trade Issue of the Morning News,
in addition to being sent to all the daily
subfcribers by carrier and mail, will be

100,000 people who look to the Morning
News for information on all subjects, and
who represent the purchasing interest of
their localities.
This edition will thus find Its way into
every household in the immense area of

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
A Young Man Fouud Dead on tlie
Floor of His Room with a Ball
Through Ilfs Heart.
UNNECESSARY EXCITEMENT.
Yesterday morningearly it wa3 reported
that a young man named Charles Schell wien,
employed as a clerk in the drug establish
ment of Messrs. Lippman & Bro., southwest
corner of Barnard and Congress streets, had
committed suicide in hifi room, at No. 65
Gaston street. Inquiry revealed the fact
that the report was true, and on inves
tigation, we ascertained that the young
man had been at the store on Saturday at
tending to his usual duties until the closing
hours, and had been seen on the street late
Sunday afternoon. There was nothing in
his manner to indicate that he was troubled
or depressed, and his employers are at a
loss to assign a cause that could have in
duced him to take his life. He was of so
cial disposition, attentive to his
duties, was not a partaker of in
toxicating liquors, and was, seemingly,
satisfied with his condition. He had been
in the emoloy of Messrs. Lippman Bros, for
about six months, and came here from
Jacksonville, Fla. He was a German by
birth and a single man, and so far as known
had no family connections in the South.
Coroner Sheftall was notified of the finding
of the dead body in the room, and daring the
day held an inquest, when ODly one witness
was examined, Mr. Ives, who first discovered
the body, and whose testimony was as fol
lows:
Last night when I came home, about
10:15 or ‘10:30 o’clock, the light in the
parlor was burning and Mr. Schell-
wien’s hat was on the rack; I locked up and
retired: this morning about 7:30 o’clock
I noticed Mr. Schellwien’s hat 6tlll on
the rack, and knowing that he generally
went out at 0:30 or 7 a. m.,I thought po&aiblv
he might be sick; I went into the room, If
he was sick that I might do what I could for
him; I opened the door: he was lying on
Lis left arm upon his face; I noticed his
coat resting on the chair near the bureau;
I then went up to him, thinking that he
might have fallen into a fit; finding that he
was stiff I left him alone: I then went up
stairs, but subsequently returned and turned
out the light and locked the door; I re
cognize deceased as Charles Schellwien;
he wa6 of steady habits; be was at Llpp-
man’s drug store; he was about thirty j'ears
of age.
After bearing this evidence, the jury con
sidered the same duly, and returned the fol

AN I VI PORTA NT COMMERCIAL
MOVEMENT.
The Hour* of Clo*iug the Bank*.
The experience of our business men last
season demonstrated most forcibly the ne
cessity for a change in the hours for bank
ing, and the lack of the essential facilities
attendant upon extended time in this matter
has been seriously felt. Among the com
mercial community the matter bad been dis
cussed with great interest, and with the
view of ascertaining definitely the wishes
of those most intimately concern
ed, Mayor Wheaton, some time since,
at the request of a number
of merchants, appointed the following
named gentlemen, representing important
great business interests, to consider the
matter aud give expression to their opinions,
derived after consultation. The committee
was as foilow's: Messrs. J. H. Johnston, W.
W. Gordon, Jno. Flannery, Jno. Nisbet, C.
M. Holst, D. C. Bacon, li B. Reppard, W. C.
Jackson, W. N. Holt, F. M. Hull, E. J.
Acosta, E. A. Weil, S. G. Haynes, S. P.
Hamilton, Jno. Lyons, P. II. O’Brien, A.
Vetsburg.
Yesterday morning this committee met at
the Exchange long room at 12 o’clock, and
alter a lull discussion of the subject, it was
found to be the unanimous opinion that thqj
commercial interests of the city would be^
greatly benefited and enhanced by extend
ing the closing hours of the banks to 3
o’clock p. m. in the fall and winter months.
Savannah, we believe, is the only city
among all the shipping points of the South
in which the banks close at 2 o’clock, and
the necessity for a change is 60 apparent
as .o rtquire no comment, aud is evidenced
by the almost entire unanimity In regard
thereto on the part of our business men. In all
large commercial cities the banking hours
are from 10 o’clock a. m. until 3 o’clock
p. m., aud Savannah, which is accorded the
second rank In the cotton ports of the coun
try, should be no exception. The early hour
for closing did very well before the war,
when we had only 300,000 bales of cotton to
move, with fifteen millions of baukiDg capi
tal, but now, when we have nearly 800,000
bales of cotton to move and a backing cap!
tal of less than two millions, the neqeselty
for a later hour closing of the banks may be
considered imperative. We have no doubt
that the strong arguments presented by the
committee will have the desired effect, and
that the rt quest made will be acceded to.

Weekly Weather Chronicle.
We have received from the Signal Observ
er the following general summary of the
weather for the week en :Icg on the 21st in
stant :
During the past week no area of low pres
sure or storm-centre, crossed the United
States, although throughout the week the
barometer was uniformly low on the Pacific
coast. The 6torm centre, central in Nebras
ka on the morning of the ltith, moved north
ward to Manitoba by midnight and thence
eastward across the Lakes, accompanied by
very heavy rains aud thunder storms, reach
ing the Atlantic during the nightof the20ib.
In Southern California, on the morning of
the 14th, the barometer fell below the nor
mal, with southerly winds and cloudy
weather, probably due to the advance
northwestward of a storm area from
the Rio Grande valley. This area,
compunied with heavy precipitation at
San Diego, moved slowly northward
along the Pacific coast, reaching Oregon by
the morning of the 18th, whence it deflected
eastward across the Rooky Mountains to the
Lower Missouri -alley. From this district
moved northeastward, attended by very
heavy rains to Lake Ontario, where it Is this
morning central. During the night of the
I9th a cyclone was reported as advancing
northwestward from the West Indies. At
Kingston, Jamaica, the wind registered a
velocity of eighty miles per hour, and on
the following day a raiu-Iail of R12 inches
was reported from Santiago de Cuba. Tfie
temperature has generally remained above
the normal oyer the central portions of the
country and considerably below in the North
west, the Northern Rocky Mountain, plateau
and Lake region*.
The rainfall for the past week averages
about as follows »n the various districts:
Canadian Maritime Provinces. 1.89 inch;

The following comprises the list of arrests
recorded at the police barracks up to one
o’clock this morning:
Isaac Ford and Sarah Henderson, colored,
were arrested about a quarter to ten o’clock
last night by Policemen Malone and Keane
for fighting in the streets, and were jugged
for the night.
Prince Williams, a colored jubi’ant, was
rather disorderly about ten O’clock lust
£jght in the Market, and was speedily re
moved by officer p. Jones to an Institution
here his hilaricusness was subdued.
The only other arrests were two simple

It Is worthy of note that the city was so
orderly and quiet last night, when it Is con
sidered that there were within our limits
over two thousand colored strangers, and
that the day had been devoted by them to
general enjoyment.

Arrival or a Coantlug Schooner with
Sickness on Board.
Yesterday morning about 11 o’clock the
schooner Mary J. arrived at the Savannah,
Florida and. Western Railway wharf, from
College landing, on Turtle river,with a cargo
of naval stores consigned to Messrs. Wil
liams <k Watson. She was in command of
Captain Perkins, and had on board Captain
John Peterson, who had been acting as
pilot and mate, and two negro boys.
Shortly after her arrival, it became known
that Captain Peterson had died on the trip
and that Captain Perkins was quite sick,
and a very unnecessary panic and excite
ment followed among those in the vicinity,
owing to the foolish suppositions of some
alarmists.
The arrival was at once reported to Dr.
J. T. McFarland, Health Officer, who, by
direction of the Mayor, proceeded imme
diately to make an investigation Into the
matter.
The Coroner was meanwhile notified, and
proceeded to the vessel, out on making in
quiries into the facts, considered it unneces
sary to hold an inquest.
During the day some exaggerated reports
were circulated, and in order to allay need
less apprehension on the part of the public
aud to correct the false rumors, we are re
quested by the acting Mayor to state all the
facts obtained by official investigation.
The vessel was not from an Infected port,
but bad been engaged iu the coasting trade,
having left here on the 2d instant for Tur
tle river. She did not come through quar
antine, but by the inland route through the
back rivers, and hence the violation of the
quarantine regulations was not through
laches on the part of the health authorities.
Dr. McFarland proceeded to the wharf and,
securing a tug, had the schooner towed to the
quarantine station, where all vessels coming
from places south are required to stop. In
conversation with Dr. McFarland, we learn
ed the result of Lis Investigation to be as
follows .-
The schooner had been on the passage
from Turtle river to thi3 point some ten or
twelve days, and during the trip Captain
Peterson was stricken down with swamp
fever, aud being unable to procure medical
assistance, his death resulted yesterday
morning while coming up the river, mainly
on account of the lack of care aud nourish
ment.
Capt. Perkins was also prostrated by the
swamp fever, and was in a critical condition
on arrival here. He was sent In tlie vessel
to the quarantine station, where he will
receive proper attention, but his recovery Is
regarded as hopeless. The two negro boys
had been procured to briDg the schooner into
port, and, after much difficulty, succeeded
In reaching here.
Dr. McFarland, with Dr. J. D. Martin and
Dr. R. S. Sanders, held a post mortem ex
amination ou the body of Captain Peterson,
and removed the liver, which ou careful in
spection showed no signs other than those
noted in cases of swamp fever. There was a
secretion of a considerable quantity of bile,
indicating clearly aud to the satisfaction of
the physicians that the deceased was very
bilious and had died of swamp fever, ac
celerated by neglect and the want of proper
nourishment. The remains were subse
quently interred.
The late hour at which this investigation
closed prevented a meeting of the Sanitary
Board. They will meet this morning, how
ever, and an official statement verifying the
above facts will be presented, and will be
published in our next issue, the intention of
the authorities being that the public shall
be given the facts positively and truthfully.
Captain Jno. S. Peterson was long and
favorably known on the river, and for a
number of years was in command of the
tug Benjamin Bramell. He was about fifty
years of age, aud leaves a number of rela
tives in Philadelphia, where he originally
belonged. The deceased bad been out of
employment for nearly a year, and this
was his first trip on the Mary J. as pilot.
He was one of the oldest employes of the
late B. Bramell, the former owner of the
tugs now the property of the Savannah Pro
peller, Tow Boat and Wrecking Company.
All the flags of the Tow Boat Company were
at half-mast yesterday in respect to his
memory.
The authoritative statement from the
Health Officer after the most careful
investigation and examination, as above
given, is sufficient to convince the commu
nity that there is no occasion whatever for
any uneasiness on the subject.
Sad Fate of a Veteran Sea Captain.
Ou Saturdaj- last Capt. Robt. T. Brown,
of the schooner Myrover, well known in
Savannah, havlDg run to this port for
several years, met with au accident in
Charleston, which port he had just reached
in the morning from New York, that re
sulted iu his death. lie was, It Is slated,
the oldest shipmaster on the coast of the
United States. The Charleston Sews aud
Courier of Sunday gives this account of
the sad accident:
“The Myrover arrived from New York on
Saturday, the 14th inst., and after discharg
ing her cargo hauled up to the pier at the
Northeastern Railroad depot to load her
return cargo of cross-ties. Her master,
who, In spite of-his years, was an active and
faithful sailor, was engaged yesterday iu
superintending the work of taking in the
cargo when the fatal accident occurred.
He had been sitting ou deck, overlook
ing the work, when about half past
eleven o’clock he got up and starred
to go to his cabin for something. The
poop deck of the Myrover extends nearly
the entire length of the vessel, and is
guarded only by a low rail which terminates
near the steps leading to the cabin door iu
the after part of the ship. In descending
these steps Capt. Brown lost his balance and
fell over the ship’s side into the water be
tween the vessel and the head of the pier.
In the fall he received a blow upon the tem-
pie from one of the timbers of the pier head
which probably rendered him insensible.
The accident was observed by the crew, who
immediately hastened to the rescue. Edgar
McKinlay, the colored steward of the vessel,
jumped overboard at once aud succeeded in
catching his officer before he sank, raising
his head above the water. Lewis Bates, the
first officer, was attending to some business
on shore at the time of the accident and did
not reach the vessel until after the death of
Capt. Brown. The second mate, Wm. Siakl
ler, promptly followed the steward to the
rescue, and holding on to a fender the two
managed to get a rope around the body of
the insensible man. Finding It impossible,
In consequence of his weight, to hoist him
on boaid, a small boat was lowered and
Capt. Brown taken aboard. Whether he was
alive or not when taken into the boat is
not known. It is possible that there may
Ihave been a spark of life In his body, but
notwithstanding the efforts to revive him it
soon fled, aud the body was lifeless when It
reached the deck of the Myrover. Deputy
Coroner Phffippy held an inquest, aud a ver
dict of death from accidental drowning was
renden d.
‘('apt. Brown was probably the oldest ship
master in the United elates, his age at the
time of his death being 78 years. He was
born on Long Island and has been a ship
master for 52 years. Jn bis early youth he
pommanded a schooner plying between this
port and Georgetown. Later in life he was
engaged in the coasting trade between New
York and Savannah, and was in command of
the Plaudome when that vessel was run down
near the New York bar by the steamer
Southerner. After the war he assumed com
maud of the Myrover, and had never missed
a trip on her 6ince she has been under hi*
command. In spite of his ripe old age, he
was an active, vigorous seaman, an experi
enced and careful navigator, and possessed
the anbounded confidence of his owners.
He was. moreover, a genial and pleasant
companion, a kind and forbearing effiepp.
and a staunch and tried f^end- M e mar-
Iried a lady |n C?eoyget u wn i»i early life, and
leaves a numerous family behind him. AH
the shipping iu port displayed their colors
at half mast yesterday in respect to bis
memory.”

The first annual base ball contest of the
National Colored Base Ball Association took
place yesterday at Thunderbolt, and. the
predictions in regard to its success were
fully realized. The steamer H. B. Plant ar
rived early in the morning with a big crowd
from Beaufort, including the base ball club
of that city, who had entered
for the contest. The early train by the
Charleston and Savannah Railway, and the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
brought In immense crowds of colored ex
cursionists, including clubs from Augusta,
Macon and Jacksonville. The following
clubs have entered for the contest, the prize
of which is a handsome purse and the cham
pionship of the South : Fox Hunters, of
Macon; Nationals and Clintons, of Augusta;
Broads, Olympic, Chathams, Little Rocks,
Jt-ffersons and Broadways, of Savannah;
Dictators, of Beaufort; Athletics,
of Jacksonville, and others. Quite
a number of white people
from the several cities accompanied
the excursionists, taking advantage of the
low rates. It is estimated that there were
fully two thousand colored people from
these points in the city. Some of the clubs
were neatly uniformed, and ail wore badges
bearing the names of their respective or
ganizations. They made a parade through
the streets during the morning, forming a
6lg procession, headed by a brass band, and
took the ears at the corner of West Broad
and Broughton streets, proceeding to Thun
derbolt. The race course tract had been
granted by Capt. M. J. Doyle, and it was here
the contest took place. Owing to some
difficulty in obtaining the proper kind of
balls, the contest was delayed and did not
comineuce until late in the afternoon, but
several games were played with the follow
log result:
Broadways 13
Little Rocks. 2
The Broadways take the prize in their class.
Fox Hunters, of Macon 7
Nationals, of Augusta 3
The Chathams of Savannah and Athletics
of Jacksonville played until dark, which
resulted in some bad points, aud the Cap
tains of the clubs decided to play over this
afternoon at 3 o’clock. They are well
matched, and a fine game is anticipated.
The street cars on the Coast Line Railroad
went out crowded during the entire day,
and the facilities of the road were taxed to
their utmost, but the immense throng were
transported safelv, and returned to the city
with but little inconvenience, beyond the
squeezing aud the heat, and a slight delay
caused b> a broken rail on the suburban
line on the homeward trip at night.
The bluff at Thunderbolt was literally
clothed with colored men, women aud chil
dren, many of the town folkshaving gone
out in wagons and other vehicles, and the
scene presented reminded one of a mam
moth picnic.
There were also a cumber of whites among
the spectators of the game, several innings
of which were remarkably well played. The
greatest interest was manifested by the col
ored folks in the efforts of the several con
testants, but the main attraction will be to
day, when the final result will be reached.
Notwithstanding the lmi^eD*© crowds,
composed of colored people from various
sections of this and adjoining States, tho
gathering w^s remarkabty orderly, ’and
there were no disturbances of any kind that
we heard of. This rejects great credit upon
our colored population, and is a testi
monial qf the lqW-ahidjng disposition of the
better class.
We will give the result of the tournament
to-morrow at the close of the contest.
When the result is announced the prizes
will be presented by John H. Deveaux in an
appropriate address.
There were two bands present during the
day, and dancing was enjoyed by many of
the excursionists.
Altogether, the tournament was a success,
and the managers have cause to grati
fied at the results so f-^r.
