Jostled from a Buggy—Painfully In
jured.
Oa Saturday afternoon about six o’clock,
Frank Williams, colored hostler for Mr. J.
A. Bates, while riding in a buggy down
Charlton street, in the vicinity of St. John’s
Church, was jostled from his 6eat in turning
the corner, and fell upon his right leg, dis
locating his ankle and sustaining quite a
painful injury. The accident attracted
quite a large crowd. Dr. T. B. Chisholm,
residing in the vicinity, was summoned,
and on examining the injured man, ordered
that he be carried to bis home on Farm
street, near West Broad. His leg is badly
swollen, and it will be some weeks before
he is abl to use It.
AUempllßK to Obtain Money Under
False Pretenses.
Tom Simkins is a pretty cate colored
roamer it seems, but is not so sharp that he
cannot be caught. On Saturday morning
Tom concluded to make a little raise, and
representing himself as Dan Henderson,
who is employed In one of the gangs of
Messrs. Dixon Brothers, stevedores, went
to Mr. M. W. Dixon and endeavored to col
lect somv money. He was not a good actor,
and failed to personate the character of
“Dan. Henderson” correctly. His imposi
tion was discovered and he was summa
rily bounced and turned over to Police
man Maguire, who conveyed him to the bar
racks.
Attempted Arson.
Sergeant Klllourhy, while making hie
ronnds this morning about one o’clock, pre
vented a serious conflagration. He found
a pile of inflammable material saturated
with kerosene heaped up against a shanty
in a lane off Hull street near Houston. The
flames were making qnick progress. He
quickly extinguished them, and by his
timely discovery and prompt action averted
a serious disaster. From the character of
the houses in the neighborhood, bad the
fire gotton a fair start, there is no telling
how far it might have spread. The affair
was unmistakably an incendiary attempt
and will doubtless be investigated.
The Rail war Trestle.
The recent break In the railway trebtle on
the Charleston and Savannah Railway has
at last been repaired and the rails were
united on Saturday afternoon, the construc
tion train having passed over the line, and
Mr. C. Si Gadsden, the Superintendent,
came over to Savannah Saturday night on
an engine and immediately returned. The
water is rapidly falling, and a thorough
examination will be made of the work to
day, when, if everything is found satis
factory, the line will at once be opened and
trains resume their regular schedule.

A Belligerent Darkey.
About quarter to twelve o’clock yesterday
considerable excitement was created on
Roberts street by a belligerent colored war
rior named John Williams, who wanted to
clear out a yard and whip the entire neigh
borhood. Sergeant Harvey’s attention was
called to the racket and, proceeding to the
Clace, arrested John and waltzed him to the
arrack*. A large, ugly-looking butcher
knife, about six inches long, was found
upon bis person.
Dislocated His Shoulder.
An Italian engaged at work at the Cen
tral Railroad wharf met with a painful acci
dent about half-past five o’clock on Satur
day afternoon. He was employed In re
moving some guano, when one of the heavy
bags fell upon his left shoulder, dislocating
it badly and otherwise injuring him. He
was sent to his home on the canal, in the
neighborhood of the paper mill, where Dr.
T. B. Chisholm attended him.

Railroad niiabaps.
Concerning the accident at Briar Creek,
on the Augusta branch of the Central Rail
road on Friday afternoon, the first that has
occurred in several years, and of which
brief mention has been made, the Augusta
Chronicle of Sunday says:
“As soon as possible after the accident a
force of one hundred hands was sent to the
scene, Mr. Starr, the energetic agent., going
down himself with the party. In con
sequence of the rapidity with which the
work of reparation was done, the track was
clear in time for the down morning train to
pass.
“Several parties on the train which met
with the accident had & narrow escape. As
the car was crossing the trestle the mail
agent, L. C. Belcher, saw the timbers flying,
and knowing that something was wrong, he
started back to inform the passengers. As
he got out of the mail compartment, how
ever, he saw the floor rising and a big Sara
toga trunk tossed from one end of the car
to the other, as if it had been a feather.
He was, a moment afterwards, struck vio
lently in the back by a seat, and the next
thing he remembered he was being helped
out of the swamp at the side of the track.
One of his hands were badly bruised, and
he feels very sore from the blow In the back.
Geo. Owens, the newsboy, wa3 considerably
bruised and cut by the falling trunks, but
was up for duty yesterday morning. Walter
Mitchell, of Waynesboro, was cut painfully
on the leg. and one passenger was slightly
bruised. No one in the first class coach was
hurt. The express car and the second class
coach were badly broken up, and will have
to go to the shop.”
The train which left here at 9:30 o’clock
Saturday morning for Macon, was stopped
at Egypt, about forty miles from Bavannah,
in consequence of two up freight trains
colliding about he!f past five o’clock Satur
day morning at that point, under the fol
lowing circumstances, as reported:
“Five freight trains were running on the
same schedule, and the engine ‘Virginia,’
of the fifth freight, train, ran into the rear
end of the fourth freight, somewhat demol
ishing the locomotive.”
The woods along the line of the road,
says the Macon Telegraph, are on fire, and
the thick smoke, together with the fog of
the morning, settled with heavy darkness
directly in the road way, and as a conse
quence it was with difficulty that the trains
could be seen by their respective engineers,
and as a station was about being reached
when the collision happened, the trains
were necessarily running very near together.
The trains were not seriously damaged and
nobody was hurt. The road was cleared
yesterday morning and the trains arrived
here on usual time.
►.■<
Heavy Through Travel.
The arrivals on Saturday were something
unprecedented in the history of Northern
travel. The Screven and Pulaski Houses
had each four full pages of their registers
covered, and were compelled to turn away
many people. The Marshall Honse was
filled np, as the genial clerk remarked,
“with the great and the noble of
earth,” and a number who arrived from
Florida late Saturday night were
compelled to return to the boat for
accommodation. The smaller hotels
and principal boarding houses were all
taxed to accommodate the strangers, and as
late as half-past twelve o’clock Saturday
night some of the late arrivals were en
countered on the streets with their satchels
and wraps, looking up places to which they
had been directed. The travel is from every
direction, and from all indications will con
tinue probably for the next month or six
weeks. Telegrams are dally being received
by the hotel proprietors asking to have
rooms reserved. Most of these strangers
are Florida bound, but remain in Savannah
a day or two, and almost before they have
time to vacate their rooms new arrivals are
moved in. It is a regular harvest for the
hotel proprietors, who, with their clerks and
everybody else, are hard worked, but smiling
and happy, and tbe cry with them is, “Come
one, come all; we’ll make you as comfort
able as possible.”
A musical Treat In Prospect.
The appearance at our Theatre on the 4t.h

nations hg the Health Officer.
We have received a pamphlet copy of the
annual report of the Mayor, and the reports
of the different departments of the city,
with the compliments of Mr. Geo. N.
Nichols, the printer. As of general interest,
we make the following synopsis of the most
important reports, principal of which is
that of Dr. J. T. MacF&rland, the efficient
Health Officer. After referring to the or
ganization of the Board of Sanitary Com
missioners, and the manner In which that
branch of the public service has been con
ducted, the Health Officer says concerning
the
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
Special care and attention has been given
to the sanitary condition of the city and sur
roundings, and many nuisances have been
abated.
The quarantine regulations of this port
have been very rigid; so much so as to
cause demur in several instances.
The Board, fully appreciating the trust
reposed in them, and the responsibility
involved, at the same time being desirous
not to unnecessarily impede commerce,
have acted throughout the year with deter
mination to do all In their power to prevent
the Introduction by vessels of any disease
Into the city.
Special attention has been directed to
ballast from infected or suspected ports.
No sand or mixed ballast has been allowed
to be brought to the city, and until late in
the month of November, even stone
ballast brought from such ports was
discharged at Quarantine Station. Tbe dis
charge of ballast is considered absolutely
necessary to the thoroughly cleansing of a
vessel, as the timbers cannot be reached
without so doing. The carrying out of this
important regulation necessarily caused
some detention, which is Increased by the
lazy working of the crews, and the want of
additional wharf room, so as to allow more
than one vessel to discharge at the same
time. The discharging of ballast, sweeten
ing of bilges and timbers, with thorough
fumigation, has been the uniform mode of
treating vessels subjected to quarantine.
No case of infectious or contagious disease
has been|brougbt to this port during thelpast
year, nor has any case developed while ves
sels have been undergoing quarantine deten
tion ; in fact, but one case of sickness has
been under tbe treatment of the
quarantine officer, that being a Cap
tain of an inland coastwise schoon
er, and the disease bilious fever. Wire
communication from the city to Quaran
tine Station Is much needed. It is Impossi
ble at many times for the quarantine offi
cer to reach the telegraph station on Tybee
Island in consequence of stormv weather,
and very often, owing to the wind being
from or to the station, the signal flag on
Tybee Island wharf cannot be seen by him.
I have endeavored, by official communica
tions, to secure a proposal from the Tele
phone Company to build a line to Quaran
tine Station, and rent same to the city, and
i egret to say that, up to this time,my efforts
have been fruitless. During the year
I have made several official visits to the
Quarantine Station, and report the building
and wharf in very good condition, the
foundations of these having been much
improved by the deposit of ballast. I avail
myself of this opportunity to commend Dr.
J. A. Huger for the manner in which he
has discharged the arduous duties of his
office.
In the month of August the Sanitary
Board were officially notified by W. H.
Elliott, M. D., Inspector National Board of
Health, that the Sapelo Quarantine Station,
located on Black Beard Island, was ready to
receive vessels arriving off this port
from Infected or suspicious ports having
sickness on board at time of arrival or hav
ing had same during voyage. In accord
ance with instructions, I issued notice to
pilots, giving this information, and directed
them not to board such vessels but send them
to the Sapelo Station. The establishment
of this Quarantine Hospital will undoubted
ly be a great relief to our harbor, should In
fected vessels arrive, but fortunately to
date we have bad no occasion to use it.
Each pilot has from time to time been fur
nished with printed quarantine regulations,
and masters of vessels are now furnished
by the quarantine officer with a printed
copy of regulations governing them.
I have made inspection of the city prop
erty at Timber Landing kuown as the pest
house, and find the buildings, fencing and
other property in good condition and well
cared for by the keeper. The city and port
having been exempt from smali-pox, this
property has not been used as a hospital.
I have given medicrl and surgical atten
tion to the poliee force and the paid Fire
Department.
I have given fourteen burial certificates
for whites and one hundred and nineteen
for black 6 and colored. Of these there were
still born, whites six, still born black and
colored seventy-one. Two physicians are
employed by the city to attend those who
are unable to pay for medical
attendance, aud medicines are fur
nished free of cost. Many,
particularly among the black and colored,
do not avail themselves of this proffered
charity. Why not, and the remedy, are
problems to be solved. Until lately the
National Board of Health have been doing
this city unintentional but great injustice,
by publishing the death rate of races con
solidated. Under instructions of the Sanitary
Board, I eutered objection to the tabular
form used and have succeeded in having
the report so amended as to show at a glance
the death rate of whites and colored sepa
rate.
During the past year Savannah, like many
other Southern cities, was visited by an epi
demic of dengue fever. The disease made
its appearance in September and continued
until cold weather, very few persons in the
city escaping an attack. Diphtheria has ex
isted in sporadic form throughout the year.
Disinfecting and cleansing of sinks and
premises has been promptly and thoroughly
attended to where such cases have made
their appearance. With these exceptions,
our citizens have cause to be thankful for
the good health which has prevailed. No
case of small pox has occurred iu our
midst, neither has any ease been brought to
Quarantine Station. The City Physicians
were supplied with bovine virus during
January, 1880, and instructed to vacci
nate the poor who came under
their charge. I have reason to be
lieve that vaccination under this Instruction
did not become general. I now have a sup
ply of bovine virus, which will be used
under direction of the Sanitary Board, who
are desirous of furnishing the protection of
vaccination to all who are unable to pay for
it. It is to be hoped that some plan of ac
tion will be inaugurated by which vaccina
tion will become general, as in this way
only can our community be protected from
this dreadful scourge. Now, when our city
is free from this disease, is the time to act
upon this very important sanitary meas
ure. Vaccination is the only protec
tion against small pox, and, although
this fact Is so well known, It is aston
ishing and lamentable to find so large a
portion of our community who are unpro
tected by this simple but effectual safe
guard.
In closing this report, I would most re
pectfully bring to the consideration of the
municipal authorities, and the community
at large, the following suggestions:
First. That all applicants for admission
into public schools be required to produce
a physician’s certificate that they have been
successfully vaccinated, and that admission
be refused until such certificate is pre
sented.
Second. That re-vaccination be advised,
as the necessity for the same is taught by
experience.
Third. That legislation be invoked to make
vaccination compulsory, or as nearly so as
the laws of the State will allow.
Fourth. That our citizens be advised and
urged to adopt tbe rule of not employing
any servant, unless he or she Is vaccinated,
or will at once submit to the operation,
A singular feature in the report is the
statement in reference to the medical and
surgical attention given members of the
Police and Fire Departments. During the
year there were 235 visits paid policemen at
the barracks, 43 visits to policemen at
home, and for the same period only 2 visits
to firemen at tfecir stations, and I at home.
It will thus be seen that while the sick list
of the police was very large, that of the fire
men was exceedingly 6mall.
REPORT OP THE SINKING FUND COMMIS
SIONERS.
The report of the Sinking Fund Com
missioners is explicit and concise, and will
repay careful perusal:
New Bonds, on whieh we signed cer
tificates, turned over to City
Treasurer for exchange during
the year ISSO S 285,000
New Bonds, on which we signed cer
tificates. previously turned over
to City Treasurer for exchange.. 3,175,000
Total amount of New Bonds, on
which certificates were signed,
tuned over to Treasurer $3,460,000
From this deduct two Bonds, of SSOO
V each, handed by Treasurer for
record and to verify cancellation
of same, they having been issued
with a non-uegotiable endorse
ment and afterwards returned
by owner in exchange for same
amount of negotiable Bonds— 1,000
Making the annual amount Issued
ana available for issue, on which
certificates have been signed $3,459,000
Of this amount we find there have been
Issued $3,226,200 in exchange for old bonds
of same face value, with unmatured coupons
thereto attached, which old bonds and cou
pons we have carefully examined and found
to be properly cancelled. We have also
taken a record in detail of said bonds, so as
to detect any duplicates or forgeries, should
either exist, and the bonds be presented
hereafter.
There also appears to have been Issued
new bonds amounting to $115,200, In ex
change for past due coupons, and in pay
ment of interest on past due bonds and
coupons, as per a report In detail for 1879
and 1880, banded us by the City Treasurer
la few days ago.
we find, is not
j i/idlnance, which er
„ ~_.iuesfor issue of new bonds In
exchange for Old bonds only, and at their
“face value.” (See section lof an Or
dinatce to Compromise the Bonded Debt of
the City of Savannah).
As it appears from statement of the
Treasurer that the city redeemed by pur
chase, for cash from treasury, during the
pending of the compromise, $78,000 of old
bonds which were destroyed in presence of
the Finance Committee, as per tneir certifi
cates duly on record in the Treasurer’s
office, we do not consider the use of a sim
ilar amount of new bonds, for the purpose
for which they were used in this instance,
against the spirit of the ordinance, and
hence the over issue, or actual Increase of
the “face” of the bonded debt, is $42,200
only.
From the foregoing the total amount of
new bonds issued appears to be $3,341,400,
leaving in tbe bands of the Treasurer availa
ble for exchange $117,600. As this amount
is probably larger than will be required for
some time, now that bonds come in very
slowly, by reason of so comparatively few be
ing outstanding, and, as a considerable num
ber of tbe bonds in hands of the Treasurer
are of the denomination of S3OO, a denomi
nation that appears not to be In request, we
would respectfully suggest that two hun
dred of these bonds, taking the highest
numbers, be returned to us for cancellation.
The amount that would be left in hands of
Treasurer, after such cancellation, would
be ample for all probable applications for
exchange for some time.
As more bonds were required, the Com
missioners could sign certificates on those of
denominations more in request than the
three hundred dollars issue.
With the funds at our disposal, ($4 40
balance from 1879, SIO,OOO received from
1880, and $26 35 drawn on account 1881,
total $10,030 75), we have purchased new
bonds of the face value of $12,600, and care
fully cancelled same with all unmatured cou
pons attached, and handed said bonds, Ac.,
to the City Treasurer for such final destruc
tion as Council may direct. The details of
our purchases are as follows:
February 2, 1880, $3,300 bonds at 77%
per cent $ 2,532 75
May 4, ISBO, $3,200 bonds at 77% per
cent 2,488 00
August 6, 1880, $3,100 bonds at 81% per
cent 2.445 00
November 3, 1880, $3,000 bonds at 85%
per cent 2,565 00
Total. 1880 $12,600 bonds.costing $10,030 75
Pur’d previously 13.9P0 bonds.costing 9,995 60
Total purchased $26,500 $20,026 35
In addition to these new bonds cancelled,
the City Treasurer has taken In payment of
balances on ground rent lots, bonds amount
ing to $3,100, the cancellation of whieh we
have verified, and details duly placed on
our records. The total amount of new
bonds cancelled is thus $29,600, leaving
$3,311,800 outstanding on 31st December.
In conclusion, we beg to return our
thanks to your Honor and to the City
Treasurer and assistants,for aid and courtesy
extended to us while engaged in the labori
ous duty of examining the large number of
old bonds received in exchange for the new
issue up to 31st December, 1880.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Chief Engineer Blair, of the Savannah
Fire Department, after giving some details
in regai and to the property of the department,
says:
The entire property of the Department is
in fair condition, but the engines begin to
show the effects of age, all of them having
been In use about fifteen years, and during
that time have done good service. It is
hardly to be expected that they will he in
condition to last longer than four or five
years, aud during that time will require
much more repairs, comparatively, than in
the past.
For a more specific schedule of the prop
erty of the Department, number of fires,
etc., I respectfully refer you to the report of
the Secretary.
I again invite the earnest attention of
Council to the inadequate supply of water
in various parts of the city, particularly In
the western and southeastern portions.
Since my last report, I am gratified to state
that openings to hydrants have been en
larged in accordance with my recommenda
tion, and the anticipated beneficial results
are being realized. A large plug should be
put immediately on Fahm street, near the
old main, in order that should it become
necessary, two engines could be worked at
once. This would furnish a good supply of
water for that neighborhood.
Losses by fire during the year have been
very small. The men of the force have
been prompt in responding to all alarms,
and are deserving of praise for faithful per
formance of duty, I respectfully recom
mend an annual appropriation by Council
to each company of the department. At
present they receive no compensation,
while the men are subjected to expense for
uniforms, etc. A small annual gratuity
would be no more than an act of justice,
and would act as an incentive to still
greater efforts in the performance of duty,
at all times arduous.
Although the fire alarm telegraph is work
ing very well at present, it requires a great
deal of attention, and as the operator is
frequently absent from the city, this duty
devolves upon the Chief Engineer. I beg
respectfully to recommend the removal of
the fire alarm apparatus from the Exchange
building to the fire bell at the police bar
racks. The last named bell being much
the largest, Its tones could be heard at
greater distance and alarms be responded to
in shorter time.
I again urgently invite your attention to
the “swinging harness,” referred to in my
last report. This gearing is used iu nearly
all the cities of the North aud West, and has
proved, not only a saving in cost, but a re
lief from chafing to horses, aql cause them
to last much longer, which is an important
consideration, aside from the mercy which
should always be accorded these dumb ani
mals, so faithful to their master, man.
FOLICS DEPARTMENT.
Gen. R. H. Anderson, Chief of the Po
lice, gives the following interesting in
formation in reference to that service:
The aggregate strength of the department
is fifty-six, as follows:
Chief 1
Lieutenants 2
Sergeants 4
Privates 49
56
During the year, 1,749 arrests have been
made, being 75 more than the year previous.
Of this number 703 were white and 1,046
colored, and the following are the crimes
and misdemeanors for which the arrests

Off for Hl* missionary Field.
Rev. J. R. Carter, who has been appointed
by Bishop Pierce as missionary to El Paso,
Texas, leaves our city for his distant field
of labor this morning. He preached last
night at Trinity Church, and his many
friends in Savannah availed themselves of
the opportunity to hear his last words of
Instruction and counsel. He carries with
him the hearty esteem of hundreds of our
citizens, and their earnest prayers for his
success in the great work to which he has
devoted his life.
SHOT IN HIS HOUSE.
Mystery Surrounding an Assassina
tion.
On Saturday morning the Coroner, who had
been notified the preceding evening of the
death from a gun shot wound of a colored
man named Abraham Stewart, at the house
of hii brother in Brownsville, on the suburbs
of the city, proceeded thither for the pur
pose of holding an Inquest. The following
facts were then ascertained: Stewart, who
lives at Belmont, some five or six
miles from the city, on the night
of the 22d Inst., was sitting
in his kitchen door, when he was fired upon
by some party or parties unknown, who
were concealed near by. He was struck in
the abdomen, the ball passing through the
intestines and lodging a little above
the hip bone, and he fell to
the floor. He was removed to his bed,
which was occupied also by his son, C. H.
Stewart, and, so far as could be learned, re
ceived no medical or other attention. The
next morning he was brought to the city
and carried to the house of his brother,
Duke Stewart, at Brownsville, where Dr. T.
C. Harden was called to see him, and ren
dered such services as were possible under
the circumstances. An examination, how
ever, satisfied him that the wound was mor
tal, and the unfortunate man died on Fri
day night.
The shooting was not reported to any of
the county or city officers, and it does not
seem that any effort was made by the rela
tives of Stewart to capture the assassins.
The Coroner soon discovered that it
would be useless to hold an inquest until
some additional information in reference to
the affair was obtained, and according
ly postponed it until this morning at 10
o’clock, when it will be held at his office,
corner of Jefferson and Liberty streets,
and the jurors who are summoned are de
sired to be prompt in their attendance.
During Saturday, however, the Coroner
had C. H. Stewart, M. Stewart, Martha Hey
ward and John Anderson arrested on suspi
cion of being concerned in the crime, and
committed them to jail. Anderson was
arrested at the Market in the afternoon.
All the parties are colored and were arrest
ed on the affidavit of Duke Stewart,
brother of the deceased. A large
number of witnesses have been summoned,
and a thorough investigation of the case
will be made.
Abraham Stewart, the deceased, was a
butcher in the Market for nearly thirty
years, and was regarded as a worthy and in
dustrious man.
Tbe Close of Mias Calhoun’s Engage*
ment.
The engagement of the charming young
actress, Miss Eleanor Calhoun, was brought
to a close Saturday with two capital per
formances. At the matinee “The Hunch
back” was given to a very large and de
lighted audience, and was presented in aU
its details in the most satisfactory manner.
The play is very popular In Savannah, and
was produced with even greater effect and
satisfaction than by Mrs. Bowers and Miss
Thompson two years since.
In the evening S&rdou’s great play of
“Daniel Rochat” was given as the farewell
piece to a very good Saturday night audi
ence.
The main lnterestj centers on two charac
ters and most admirably did Miss Calhoun as
“Leah,” and Mr. Hill as “Daniel Rochat,”
sustain their parts, and the scene in
“Leah’s” room, where “Rochat” implores
her to abandon the “mummery” of a
church marriage, and go with
him as bis wife to bis home, the acting was
very fine. Miss Calhoun .has scope for
the display of her emotional ability, and
used it to advantage. The support was
good, and the entire performance enjoyable,
especially the last two acts, which were
given remarkably well.
The company left for Augusta by the
Central train yesterday, where they play
one night only. We hope to have another
visit from Miss Calhoun next season. The
favorable impression she has created in
Savannah will then ensure for her crowded
houses.
An Intereating Case.
The case of Henry Juchter vs. Boehm,
Bendheim & Cos., which has been before the
Superior Court the past several days, and
which was on Saturday disposed of by the
Judge granting a motion to non-suit, pos
sesses points of considerable Interest. Dur
ing its hearing, the court room has been
thronged with merchants and others, and
the arguments made by the respective coun
sel have been listened to with more than
usual interest.
This case was for damages brought
against the defendants to recover SIO,OOO
on account of the suing out of certain ac
tions against the plaintiff in 1878. In Jan
uary of that year Mr. Boehm, as one of the
firm of Boehm,Bendheim & Cos., foreclosed a
mortgage against the stock or goods in the
store of Mr. Juchter, and afterwards sued
out an attachment on another debt, and had
it levied on other property of J uchter. Both
these suits were decided adversely to Messrs.
Boehm, Bendheim & Cos., and the present
case was brought to recover by reason of
malicious prosecutions against Juchter.
After the plaintiff’s evidence was all in,
the defendants moved for a non-suit on the
ground that no case had been made out that
entitled the plaintiff to go to the jury.
The argument occupied part of Thursday
afternoon and until almost 2 o’clock yester
day, when the court granted the motion im
mediately upon the conclusion of the argu
ment.
The case Involved a great many points,
and was very elaborately argued by counsel
on both sides. Mr. R. R. Richards appeared
for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Tompkins &
Denmark and Chisholm & Erwin for de
fendants.
It is understood that the cause will be
carried to the Supreme Court.
More Contributions.
The foUowing additional contributions to
the Masonic Fair have been received:

announced by the Wheeler & Wilson Manu
facturing Company, manufacturers of the
Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine, Bridge
port, Conn., who write as follows:

Tbe Late Fire on tUe Bay.
Mr. George A. Hudson on Saturday seht to
this office a kerosene can and pistol taken
from his store after the fire which destroyed
his property. The can is half full of kero
sene oil and the pistol is loaded, and are
produced by Mr. Hudson as silent witnesses
that the fire could not have originated in
his establishment, as has been generally sup
posed.
The above paragraph, which appeared in
the Sunday Telegram yesterday, has elicited
the following:
Editor Morning Hews : It seems to me
that the positive assertion of the Chief and
all the firemen, of Captain Wm. Hone,
Captain J. F. Torrant and others, who were
first at the fire, that the fire did originate in
Mr. Hudson’s store, and no other place,
ought to be as convincing testimony as
those “silent witnesses” which Mr. Hudson
brings forward as evidence that it did not.
Very respectfully yours,
'Andrew Hanlet.
Superior Court.
Hon. W. B. Fleming, Judge, presiding.
Court met Saturday morning at 10
o’clock, when the following business was
transacted:
Henry Juchter vs. Boehm, Bendheim, &
Cos. Case. After argument from Judge
Chisholm upon a motion for non suit, the
court granted the motion in the following
terms:
“After full argument upon a motion for
non suit Id tbls cause, made by the defend
ants, after the evidence for plaintiff had
closed, it is considered and ordered by the
court that the motion for a non-suit be
granted.”
Court adjourned for the term.
Found Bead In ffed.
The Coroner on Saturday held an inquest
upon the body of Mary Duggan, a colored
woman, who was found dead in her bed by
her daughter Alice. It appears that she
bad retired to bed the previous night ap
parently perfectly well. About daylight
Saturday she was heard praying, and at 7
o’clock, when her daughter went to call her
to breakfast, she discovered that her
mother was dead. The jury returned a
verdict of death from heart disease.
