daily each way. By this arrangement a
much needed convenience Is furnished to
the many enterprises in progress along tbe
line of that road. We also learn with
pleasure that Mr. L L. Carswell, for several
years in charge of the freight department
in the company’s office here, has been re
cently appointed to the agency at Bruns

Children’s (Hard! Gras Carnival.
On Monday evening next a carnival and
fair under the auspices of the Ladles’
Church Aid Society will be inaugurated at
Masonic Temple, and will be continued
Tuesday evening. The arrangements mak
ing for the affair Indicate that it will be
delightful and entertaining. Some
of the be6t musical talent of the city Is en
gaged, and charming music may be antici
pated, though the children’s carnival will
be the chief attraction. Children of all
sixes are requested to come in costumes
and masks. The admission is only ten
cents, and refreshments will be served by
the ladies at reasonable prices.
An Old Ladf Struck WHb a Brick.
Yesterday afternoon about half-past three
o’clock several white and colored boys were
chunking rcck6 at one another on Zubly
street, near Walnut. When an old lady
named Mrs. Knox, living In the vicinity,
went out to call her boys aivay, one of the
young negroes, named Richard Wilson,
chunked a rock at her, striking her in the
side and injuring her painfully. He was
arrested and carried to the barracks. The
practice of boys—white aud colored
chunking rocks in the street is becoming
too common, and should be summarily
stopped.
Accident to Capt. J. . Ten Rroeck.
Capt. J. D. Ten Broeck, our efficient
Harbor Master, met with a painful accident
on Saturday, and narrowly escaped breaking
bis leg. He bad driven with a friend in a
buggy to Laaiar’s Press, and just as be was
about to cheek up ku horse his foot caught
in some manner between the spokes. The
animal commenced to back, and the wheel
being turned his foot and ankle were severe
ly wrenched before he could withdraw it.
Though not serious, the sprain is quite
painful, and under the circumstances it was
fortunate that his leg was not broken.
A Door Muaiher.
Last night about half-past eight o’clock
the attention of Policeman McCann was
attracted by a noise as though someone was
bombarding a fence, and on proceeding in
the direction from whence the sounds pro
ceeded discovered a negro man frantically
endeavoring to smash in the door of a house
wherein one Bellinda Brown resided. As
such demonstrations are not recognized as
proper by the ordinance?, the officer cap
tured the door smasher and carried him to
the barracks. He was too drunk to give his
name. _
Fighting in the Streets.
Yesterday morning, about ten o’clock, a
disgraceful scene was presented on the
street by a light between Virginia Royal
and Clara Mongin, two notorious colored
females, In which it seems the former was
the aggressor. She was very abusive to
Clara, and cursed her In the foulest lan
guage, which epithets were returned with
interest by that Incensed
Deignan came along, captured the females
and waltzed them to the barracks.
Northern (Hall* AH Right.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. L. L. McCles
key received a telegram from Major A.
Pope, General Passenger Agent Atlantic
Coast Line, stating that the repairs to the
long bridge at Washington were completed
yesterday, and that train service had been
resumed. There will now be more regu
larity in the mails, and passengers south
ward bound will not be so greatly incon
venienced.
The Wesley Monument*! Church.

Wesley Church was closed and the c<> D i?r®'

occasion. The lecture was listened to
great attention and it* literary merit and

F!ve C. p tured~~ , OJd Hon . e
Where they were Catv dne ,
For some time past an old shed adjoining
the new cotton press foot of Fahm street
has been occupied by a party of tramps or
vagrants, who have proceeded make
themselves as comfortable as circumstances
would permit. Every night they have a
fire, and In some manner have managed to
secure a supply of mean whisky, and passed
the tune In carousing and acting in
such a manner as to render them
selves exceedingly obnoxious to every
body iu the vicinity. The watchman
at the press being apprehensive that during
their revels some difficulty might ensue or
confljgratlon !>e started, reported the matter
to Sergeant Killourhy, who at once made
arrangements to break up the gang. Ac
cordingly .last night the Sergeant with a posse
made a raid upon the headquarters and
captured five parties, who were carried to
the barracks where they gave their names
as Patrick Reilly, John Casey, James Gile,
Pat Flannery and Eugene Moon, and
were charged with disorderly conduct
and intruding on the Cotton Press Com
pany property. They are reported as a
hard looking set—with the exception of
Moon, who was 6ent to the cbaiß gang some
time since for six months for vagrancy—
are all strangers here, and classed
as tramps and vagrants. The Mayor will
probably find some useful labor for them
to-day In the service of the city or couoty.

Georgia Hussars.
In Sunday’s Teleqratn, after giving the
programme of the Guards and the First
Volunteer Regiment for celebrating Wash
ington’s birthday, It is stated that the Chat
hams and Hussars will parade In the after
noon. This is a mistake as regards the
Hussars. They had intended to parade in
the afternoon, but a change in the pro
gramme has been made. The troop will
asEgmble at 11 a. m., parade through some
of the principal streets, and then march to
the Ten Broeck race course, which has been
kindly placed at their disposal by the Agri
cultural and Mechanical Association.
The Central Railroad Company will run
an extra train to the race course. The train
will leave tbe Central Railroad passenger
depot at 1 p. m. and arrive at race course at
1:15 p. m. Returning, will leave the race
course at 4:30 p. m. The fare to go and re
turn will be twenty five cents.
The contention of the Hussars (charging
with sabres at tbe heads and rings) will
commence at 1:30 p. m.
Seven prizes will be divided among the
successful competitors In the several divi
sions of the troop, and as they are quite
valuable a spirited contest may be expected.
The prizes are an Imported English saddle;
a complete and very handsome cavalry
bridie and bit (presented by Mr. E. L. Neid
linger); the regulation sabre of a cavalry
officer, and a pair of very handsome stirrups
(presented bj Sergeant Thomas Ballantvne)
There also three money prizes of $25, sls
and $lO, the winner to expend the prize
money in the purchase of some portion of
the uniform or equipments of a Hussar.
Tragedy u the Central Railroad.
Information was received ip the city Sat
urday of a homicide conimitted at J.awton
vllle, on the Central Railroad, about fifteen
miles from Waynesboro. The meagre par
ticulars that we were enabled to obtain
show that Dave Jones and Sam Rober
son, negroes, had each hired another negro
to work for them. The latter, it seems,
preferred to work with Roberson, which
greatly incensed Jonee, who sent Roberson
word that he must give up all claim to tbe
services of the aforesaid hired man. The
result was a quarrel, and on Friday Jones
went to Roberson’s house, and, calling him
out, shot him with a double-barreled shot
gun, killing him instantly. Jones had
not been arrested at last accounts. Our in
formant mentions the above as the reported
facts, but does not vouch for their entire
correctness. The Coroner left Waynesboro
for JAwtonville Saturday for the purpose of
holding an inquest, when the correct state
of the case will be learned.
A Novelty In Advertising.
A novelty In the line of advertising leaves
the Boston and Albany Railroad station
this afternoon. It Is a red line car com- ’

The car will go through to San Francisco

tles of the toothsome compound, and is the
first shipment of an outright sale of two
thousand c6es made by Mr. Frank C.
Graves, of Chester H. Graves & Sons, of this
city, during the past week. The many
friends of this gentleman and his firm will
be glad to learn of this success and reward
for their Industry.— JJoston Advertiser, Jan
uary 25,1881.
Tlie East Night.
The great magician, Herrmann, was
greeted at tbe matinee and evening
performances with good
houses and delighted audiences. The
entertainment has been so highly In
dorsed In this city, that It is needless to say
more. Herrmann is beyond doubt without
a rival, and should he visit Savannah again,
will have crowded houses. He left with his
company yesterday for Augusta, to which
appreciative people we commend his enter
tainments a* worthy the best audiences.
The horse Is a noble animal, and deserves

THE FATEFUL PINTOL.
A Young Colored Girl Shot In the
Head and Mortally Wounded.
Yesterday afternoon abont one o’clock
an unfortunate affair occurred at tbe
house of Henry Holmes, the well
known colored clerk In the post office,
southeast corner of Jones and Lincoln
streets, which will In all. probability re
sult in the death of hts daughter Cynthia,
aged seventeen, from a pistol shot wound
Inflicted by Edmund Quarterman, colored.
In the dining room were Edward Quarter
man, his brother, Gus Quarterman, Mock
Quarterman, Sindy Davis, colored, and
Cynthia. It appears that a Smith
and Wesson pistol was lying
on tbe table in tbe room, and Edmund
Quarterman, who had been In the house all
the morning, picked up a looking-glass
which was near by, and, after handling It
for a few minutes, put It down on
the table, remarking at tbe same
time to Cynthia that the pistol
would shoot her. Bhe replied that
it would not, as she was not Interfering
with it, and did not Intend to touch It. As
she made this remark, she turned her face
towards the fireplace where Mock Quarler
man was engaged in cooking, when she
heard a report, and felt a severe pain as the
ball entered her head near the left ear,
aud she fell to the ground. Quarterman
rushed from the house, and, though
diligent search was made for him during
the afternoon and evening, had not been ap
prehended up to a late hour. Mock Quar
terman picked the unfortunate girl up, and
started to w&sh the blood from her face.
She was sensible at the time and made a
statement as above, also that there bad
been no quarrel between them and no cause
whatever for the shooting. She soon after
wards sank Into Insensibility, and last night
It was reported that she could not possibly
survive the injury, as there is reason to ap
prehend internal bleeding. Dr. Bullocb
probed for the ball, but could not find it,
and the supposition is that It had entered
the brain. At midnight the injured girl
was in a very low condition.
The report created considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood, and in a few
minutes after Policeman Kelly reached the
house and arrested the two Quartermans
and Sandy Davis and carried them
to the barracks to be held as wit
nesses. During the evening a
representative of the Morning News called
at the baaracks and saw the parties. Mock
Quarterman stated that he was engaged iu
cooking dinner, and did not see the
shooting. When he heaid the report
he turned and saw Cynthia fall
to the floor, and heard Ed
mund say, “My God, I’ve shot Cyn
thia,” and calling on one of them to run for
a doctor, darted out of the house him
self as though for that purpose, but did not
return. Tbe other Quarterman said he was
half asleep on a settee, and that Cynthia
and Edmund had been skylarking, and
had run around the table upon which the
pistol lay; that he knew nothing of the
shooting until he heard the report. Sandy
Djvls made substantially the same state
ment. He said there had been no difficulty
whatever, and he could not account for the
shooting. Mock and Gus Quarterman, how
ever, stated that Davis had seen more
and knew more about the matter
than they did. They all knew the pistol
was on the table and acknowledged they
saw Edmund skylarking about it. Yet,
strange to say, none of them witnessed the
shooting and say they do not know who had
the pistol. The remark of Edmund, how
ever, and his speedy flight, leaves no doubt
In regard to the matter; but his motive, if
any, and from tbe statement of Cynthia,
there was no cause, Is a mystery.
Magistrate Woodhouse issued a warrant
during the afternoon, which was placed In
the hands of a constable, who at once
started In search of Edmund, and the police
ar<> also on the lookout for him.
Edmund Quarterman Is from Liberty
county, where h's father lives, near
Fleming.

Death br Suicide.
In the Morning News of Saturday appear
ed mention of the sudden death of Dora
MacDonald, a young colored woman from
an overdose of laudanum on Friday night.
Saturday morning the Coroner held an
Inquest, when the following fac s were
gleaned:
Mr.H.Gallagher was the first witness exam•
ined and his testimony was in brief as fol
lows: About half past 6 o’clock on Friday
evening, Johnny, a little son of the deceas
ed, came to witness’ store and asked for
ten cents worth of laudanum, stating that
bis mother was in great pain. The drug
was furnished, and the boy departed.
About 9 o’clock heard that Dora hau drank
every drop of the laudanum, and the girl
said that Dora had asked her not to go for
Mr. Gallagher or tell any one.
Polly Berrien stated that between six and
seven o'clock Dora had said she did not
wish to be disturbed, as she was going to
sleep, and she subsequently ascertained
that the deceased had seut to a drug store
by her little hoy for laudanum. Witness
bad previously refused to get the laudanum,
as deceased had expressed her intention of
taking it.
No other evidence of Importance was
elicited, and the jury returned a verdict that
“the deceased, Dora MacDonald, had come
to her death by committing suicide—taking
laudanum.”

There is no affinity between cheap and
useless beef, wine and Iron tonics and the
Liebig Co.’s Coca Beef Tonic, a real reno
vant of strength and restorative of health.
“It Is the best Tonic there la. Every
physician to whom I have recommended It
has found It so,” says Professor H. B. Drake,
M. D., Detroit, Mich. It Imparts new tone
to the liver, stomach and bowels, and
by Its regulative action affords relief from
headaches, neuralgia, constipation and
languor. Beware of cheap, worthless imi
tations. _
A Compliment for the Southern Sol
dier Boy,
Dr. C. A. Bryce, editor of the Southern
Clinic, Richmond, Virginia, says of Mr.
Ludden’s new song, “Tbe Southern Soldier
Boy;”
“I am in receipt of the magnificent ‘South
ern Soldier Roy.’ The music Is very ac
ceptable. I cannot compliment you too
highly on the tender pathos of the piece,
nor upon tbe excellent get-up of the fron
tispiece. The whole Is a gem which will be
prized by the Southern people as long as
memory reverts to the noble and self-sacri
ficing boys who wore the ‘Gray’ during the
late unfortunate struggle.” feb2l-lt

Combs, If worn at all, are now placed
low on tbe left side of the head.
Next to the dark and black fancy furs,

front and 6ide breadths clinging.
Orange, red and bright yellow flowers
take the lead in corsage bouquets.
A little circle of fringe ia sometimes
placed around ornamental buttons.

Mother and Son Relieved by Simple

I write to state that last spring I gave my
back a severe wrench, which caused me
great pain, from which I could get no relief
until | was induced to try Benson’s Capcine
Porous Plaster, which brought rest and
cured me. My little boy had a considerable
bronchial affection. I cut one of the Ben
eon’s Plasters in two parts and applied one
of them above his breast bone, the other
between his shoulder blades, and noticed
that on the following day bis cough had
entirely subsided. I have used the old style
of porous plasters, and am convinced that
Benson’s Capcine Porous Plaster is far su
