Itlary Andersou’s Car.
Mary Anderson travels in really royal
style. She has had a ctr arranged to suit
her especial w’shes and for her perfect com
fort.
The car Is styled a palace hotel car. In it
there is a range with eyery conceivable
utensil for culinary purposes and lockers or
iee-ehests to keep fresh meat, game, etc ;
there Is also an unique arrangement for
ba’hiDg in hot or cold water.
Miss Anderson’s stateroom is large
enough for a good old fashioned bed. The
drawing room of the car Is convertible into
a dining room. Her meals while traveling
are cooked on board the car and served
while on the way. Ia the drawing room
portion of the car there Is to be found a
small select library of stan lard works, flies
on which the newspapers are hung, and
handsome pictures decorate the panels of
the car. There is an upright piano also on
which the young lady can while away the
tedium of" a long journey. Last, but not
least, there is a hammock which can be
hung and a pleasant siesta enjoyed at a
moment’s notice.
This has-beon arranged for Miss Ander
son’s journey through the entire South, and
will mike the tour one of pleasure rather
than of work.
Miss Auderson and her company will ar
rive here on Wednesday, March 9:h, by spe
cial train, giving two performances In this
city—presenting “Evadne” and“lngomar.”
Her Southern tour is under the direction
of Messrs Brooks and Dickson, to whose
energy and enterprise we have been indebt
ed for many of our best attractions this sea
son. From here she goes to Augusta,
thence to Macon and Atlanta.

ST. MATTHEW’S FREE IHISSION.
A ( harming Entertainment In Its
Aid.
Few enterprises in aid of a laudable ob
ject have been inaugurated in this city
under more favorable auspices than was
the entertainment at Masonic Temple last
evening by the Ladles’ Church Aid Society
for the benefit of St. Matthew’s Free
Mission. The ladies did not ob
tain possession of the ball until
yesterday morning, but went to work with
a hearty good will, assisted by some gentle
men friends, and bv five o’clock the booths
Arranged, decorated and made
brilliant with the display of beautiful arti
cles. The cafe and refreshment booths were
handsomely arranged, and looked so in
viting and tempting as to draw within their
pleasant portals even those who were not
hungry, and when the bountiful array of
good things greeted the vision, appetites
became keen again. The fancy tables were
well supplied with numerous and beautiful
articles, and the fair ladies In charge of
them did a thriving business. We
have not the space to note all the
beautiful articles that were so artistically
arranged, but may specially mention a tidy
Of unique design, representing ‘‘Miss Mnf
fet,’ so famous In verse to every child,
which was exquisitely wrought by Mrs. Dr.
Geo. li. Stone, which attracted great atten
tion. The elegant easels at the “Georgia”
booth were also greatly admired.
A eight o’clock the concert, which was
announced as a feature of the evening,
opened, and was a rare treat and most
highly enjoyed. There were no printed
programmes, and we will not attempt to
notice this most excellent musical enter
tainment in detail. Suffice it that every
body was delighted, the talented singers
and performers heartily encored, and the
concert declared to be a brilliant success.
After this the floor was cleared
and there was dancing, which was
keenly enjoyed by the young folk. The
young lautes meanwhile were busy with
tbeir lists, and succeeded by their winsome
ways In securing numerous chances. Al
together the result of the fair was most
satisfactory, and as a spirit of liberality
seemed to possess the visitors we opine that
a handsome sum was realized.
To day there will be no admission charged to
the ball, and innch and dinner will be served
from 10 o’clock until 4 o’clock, at reasona
ble prices, and those who feel inclined thus
to assist a worthy cause can rest assured
they will have a bountiful lunch or sump
tuous dinner, prepared In the best style and
servtd by charming ladies.
We are requested to state that the carni
val march, which will be the event of the
evening, will take place at 6 o’clock and
wili be repeated at 8 o’clock, thus affording
an opportunity for those who cannot attend
so early to witness what will assuredly be a
beautiful and brilliant spectacle. The ad
mission to the hall for adults and children
will be the same—ten cents only.
BUII9IEK ENTERTAINMENTS.
Our Amateur* Promise a Treat.
The respective committees of the John T.
Ford Amateur Dramatic Association and
the E. M. P. I. Social Club met In joint con
ference last evening, at Mozart Hall, to con
sider the subject of arranging a series of
dramatic entertainments for the sum
mer. The proposed measure was generally
dl&cussed, and, from the interest exhibited,
we infer that the talented amateurs of these
popular associations are determined that
the usual dullness of the summer
months shall be enlivened in a most enter
taining manner. After a full interchange
of views and consultation, it was decided
to give the opening performance of the
series on the 28ih of April, on which occa
sion will be produced the thrilling four act
drama, enti led “R-tribu'lon,” and the j
amusing farce, “That Rascal Pat,” In which
pieces the members of both associations
will bp cast.
On the 13th of May the second perform
ance of the series will be given, and the two
act comedy, entitled “Matrimony,” and
the farce “A Fascinating Individual” will
be produced. The association will at
once commence the rehearsals of these
plays, and we venture nothing in predicting
that they will be presented In the very be6t
style and worthy the reputation our Savan
nah amateurs have already earned. These
entertainments wili be continued during the
summer, and due announcement of the
programmes decided upon will be made.
Subscription tickets for the two entertain
ments already arranged will be placed on
sale at the reasonable price of $1 50, admit
ting a gentleman and lady to both entertain
ments. The price of a single admission
will be fifty cents to each performance.

MURDERED BV HIS SONS.
So say the Coroner** Jurv—lnvesti
gation Into the Assassination of
Abraham Stewart-Inwue*t—Testi
mony In Fnll—The Verdict—The
Accused Committed to Jail.
An account of the death of Abraham
Stewart, a well known and worth? colored
batcher, on Saturday, from the result of a
gun-shot wound inflicted by some unknown
party or parties while he was sitting in his
house at Belmont, some six miles from the
city, on the night of the 22d ult., has been
given In the columns of the Morning News,
with such particulars as were obtainable
together with the mention of the arrest of a
number of colored persons, including a son
of the deceased, on suspicion of being con
cerned in the crime. The affair created
intense excitement among the colored pop
ulation, and yesterday morning at ten
o’clock,the time announced for the holding
of the Inquest at the office of the Coroner,
corner of Jefferson and Liberty streets, a
large crowd had assembled on the street In
the vicinity and remained there dnriDg the
greater portion of the day. The majority
of the crowd were parties living at and
around B-lmont, who were personally ac
quainted with the deceased, and manifest
ed the greatest Interest In the ressult of the
investigation.
The Inquest was opened at ten o’clock,
when the following
TESTIMONY
was elicited, which, in view of the interest
evinced, we give in fall:
Isaac Russell testified: I know nothing
of the death of Abraham Stewart; recently,
I think on the 14(.h of February, 1881,
Abraham Stewart appeared before me and
stated that a child of his was harbored, and
desired a warrant agaiDst the parties that he
charged with harboring the child; I stated
to him that I had no jurisdiction in the
matter, a writ of habeas corpns was his
remedy, and that he had better consult some
lawyer; he replied that he would go and
see if he could get the child, and left my
office; he afterwards came to my office and
stated that he had got his child and went
to the jail; that the defendant, John
Anderson, had followed him to the
jail and made violent threats against
him In presence of the Deputy Jailer;
I Issued a peace warrant and placed John
Anderson under bonds to observe and keep
the peace toward Abraham Stewart; I also
received a note fromJMr. A. Goebel, the
Deputy Jailer, Informing me of the ttfreats
made by Jno. Anderson, in his presence, to
Abraham Stewart; when Anderson was ar
rested be stated that Abraham Stewart ill
treated his brother, which caused him to do
what he did: I then cautioned him to remem
ber that he must hereafter keep the peace
and avoid any trouble, which he faithfully
promised to do; and is now under bond to
keep the peace.
F. P. Law testified: I was going to the
jail; 1 met John Anderson standing outside;
he spoke to me, and told me the old man
had been to bis house and taken his brother
out of his house and carried him to jail, and
he said he bad punished him to the utter
most severity, and it was his brother, and
he felt for his brother; I went inside the
jail; saw Abram Stewart there; he was sit
ting down; he got up and gave me a seat; I
refused to accept if; he said to me, “Law,
you see, now, I raised these children, and
John has threatened tny life,” and he says
to me, “Law, I am broken hearted;” I Dever
heard John Anderson threaten his (de
ceased’s) life.
Celia Ruffins testified: The night the de
ceased was shot, Tuesday, 22.1 February, I
heard the report of a gun, and after I heard
four other reports of guns; a few minutes
afterward Mr. Loyd came along, and ran
up to my kitchen door and said Stewart had
sent for him, saying he had beeu shot;
Loyd went on to Stewart’s, and I followed 1 ,
the next day I returned to his house; de
ceased told me that he did not waut any of
the Belmont people to get in trouble, as he
was satisfied he was shot by his own
children; I asked him if he believed hts
children shot him; he said he did not be
lieve It, but. he knew it; then I asked him
which of his children he supposed did it,
and he said Charles Henry and Marion
Stewart; I asked him then if he thought
Marion would have hjm shot, and he said
yes, for he did not whimper; he said he
knew he would not get over It.
Toby Loyd testified: Tuesday night I was
IviDg down and little Marlon came to my
house; i told my boy Frank to go and 6ee
what Marion wanted; he said tell your
father to step here; I told him to tell Marion
to come In that j wa3 lying down; when he
came in I said, “What's the matter, Mayion;”
he said “Father says come there for he is
shot;” Marion said he was shot in the stom
ach; I immediately wenttokis house; I said,
“Brother Stewart you are here yet;” he said,
“Yes, brother Loyd,l am here yet;” “Broth
er Stewart who did it?” “I don’t know, but it
is my own children that have done it;” he
said, “We have 6ent for the doctor and
brother Luk<;” when he made the state
ment that his children shot him, he said I
don’t think I will be with yon long.
Jacob Davis testified : Dukes sent Marion
to ask me to come and assist him; when I
got there I found him lying flat of his face;
be requested us to take him to his bed;
Dukes replied he had better get a wagon
and take him to a doctor; deceased replied
he could not stand the jolting; we then put
him in bed; he requested us after that to
send for Mr. Loyd; he requested Mr. Dukes
to take his horse and come in town to his
brother’s and ask hitn to coqie to blip, and
go to Mr. Naraipore and get a Sheriff and
anrest Charles Henry and put him in jail
for shooting him; he did not say he thought
he was dying, bat be wa3 in a greal deal of
misery; he also asked us to have Marion
taken la charge; that he knew as much
about It as Henry; go to the little gate, said
he, and you will see Charles and Henry’s
tracks; 1 did go and found tracks.
Luke W. Stewart testified: On arriving at
Btewart's house I found him in bed; he said
to me, “Through all the difficulties they
have got me down at last, and I am sorry
you haven’t, brought a doctor with you.”
Says I, Well, I had better go Immediately
after one' he said, “I rather you would not
go, for j fear you will not find me alive
when you come back;” being lii great agony,
his throat became dry and be asked for
some water; he said, “I wish you would
send for the doctor, but don’t go;” 1 said
to him. “If there Is anything on your mind of
importance you had better tell me now;’’
“All 1 have got to tell you is, I wish you to
get Mr. Naramore to take Charles Henry
rightoff to jail, and Marion also, for I am
sure that Charles Henry shot me and Marlon
knows all about it;” 1 became very much
worried and started to go, and he
asked ipe jf I couldn't send some
one; th* next day I wanted to know
why he suspected Charles Henry so strongr
he said from the manners shown to him by
those two boys since he took Marlon out of
the jail, and John Anderson had made such
violent threats be believed that they were
acting as they were instructed by him (John
Anderson); I was alone with him at that
time.
Joseph Dukes te a tiflrd: I could not tell
the positive time, but I think it was between
the hours of 7 and 8 o’clock; I heard the
reportof a gun; in a few minutes after his lit
tle boy Marlon came over and said his father
said come over immediately for he was shot;
I sent him on to Jacob Davis’ and I went
on to Btewart’s house; he was lying down
on hts stomach on the floor where he was
shot; Biddy J ackEon had some bags under his
head; liesaid “Who Is that; Is that brother
Dukes;” I said yes; he said “I am shot;” he
said “they shot me down, brother Dukes,
just like beef;” by this time Jacob Davis
arrived; he sent for his brother Luke to
come to bl 6 assistance, and then said “you
go to Mr. Narampre's and tpli him to send an
officer and take Charles Henry and put him
in jail, and also Marion; the deceased said
that Charles Henry shot him from the little
back gate, and If I go there j could see the
tracks; I saw two tracks, one larger than
the other.
Biddy Jackson testified: I was present
when be was shot; when he fell he spoke to
me and told me to send for his brother
Duke, and to have Charles Henry arrested;
that he was the one that shot him; the rea
son why he told them so was that he was
dying and would not get over it ; I am not
related to deceased; Charles Henry is his
son; he was shot on the 22d of February,
1881, about 7 o’clock p. m.; Marlon Stewart
was in the habit of sleeping with bis father;
the night after the shooting Marion slept
with his father; did not take off his clothes;
and a ball similar to the one extracted from
the body of deceased was found in the bed;
Charles Henry Btewart said he heard the
report and he came oat and fired four times
to answer his brother’s shot.
Andrew Goebel testified: As far as the
death of Abraham Stewart is concerned I
know notblDg; about three weeks ago, as
well as I can repollept, Abraham Stewart
brought his son Marion to jail for safe keep
lag, as he could not keep him at home; the
Jailer told him that he would do so after
cpnslderlng the matter; he then was locked
up; ten minute* after he was locked up a
young man by the name of John Anderson
came In and interrogated the old man, the
father of the boy, In very unbecoming
language; the father replied and said it
was not his business; that he was the boy’s
father, and he would punish him according
to his crime; he further quarreled on with
his father (deceased), until I was com
polled to stop him.
After considering this testimony for some
time the jury returned the following
verdict.
We the jury find from the evidence be
fore us that the deceased, Abraham Stewart,
came to his death from a gunshot wound
inflicted by Charles Henry Stewart, In the
county of Chatham, Ga., on the 22d Febru
ary, 1881; we further find that Marion Stew
art Is an accessory to the murder.

The Late Fire on Bay Street—State
ment Iron* Mr. Radeon.
Savannah, February 28 .—Editor Morning
Sews: In a communication in your issue of
this date Mr. Hanley states the late fire
originated in my place and nowhere else.
Will he Inform the public how he knows
such to be the case. He cites the names of
three gentlemen whom he says aver* such
to be a fact. I have seen but one of these
parties, and he denies authorizing any such
statement to be made. What he saw was
the fire coming from my office first. Does
that fact establish it because a fire is first
discovered at a certain spot that it neces
sarily originates there.
Mr. Hanley, In his zeal to fasten the origin
of the fire in my place, is going a little too
far. I happen to have facts In my possession,
that while It Is probable the fire was first
discovered bursting from my office, there Is
very good reason, in my opinion, for this,
and yet the origin of the fire be elsewhere.
Yon will please correct the statement you
made in issue of the 24th inst. Instead of
removing barrels packed with shad ready
for shipment, say these shad were removed
from the ice in boxes located nearly one
third the length of the building from the
rear doors, while the fire was In full sweep
up stairs, and subsequently packed for ship
ment by New York steamer. As for the
can of kerosene oil and pistol (loaded), they
were taken from the ruins off from where
my office once stood, which facts can be es
tablished. Mr. H. seems to confirm the
discovery and origin of a fire as the same
thing. Yours truly,
Gbo. A. Hudson.
Tne Nomenclature f Months.
Bavannah, February 25.-*-Editor Morn
ing Sews: Puck's proposal, quoted in
yesterday’s Telegram, to rechristen the
months “slushuary, slopuary,” etc., re
minds me, and it may be of interest to re
call, that that thing has once been tried and
lasted but twelve years. In the library of
the Savannah Medical College, among the
many other rare old books, is one whose
publication is dated thus: “30 Germinal
IXe.” It is one of the few published under
the first French Republic. In 1793 this im
proved (?) calendar was adopted, and it last
ed till 1806.
The year commencing with the autumnal
equinox was divided into twelve months:
Vendemialre, Brumafre, Frimaire, Nivose,
Pluviose, Yentose, Germinal, Floreal, Prai
rial, Messldor, Thermidor, Fructldor. Car
lyle wittily translates them thus, if my
memory serves me: Vintagearious, Fogari
ous, Frostarious, Bnowous, Ruinous, Wind
ous, Buddal, Floweral, Meadowal, Reapidor,
Heatidor, Fruitidor.
As good a nomenclature as Puck's, Isn’t
It ? Respectfully yours,
Charles Tillinghast.
A Wager.
Editor Morning Sews: If you would be
kind enough to decide the following dis
pute in your paper, I should be very thank
ful, as there is a wager at stake, which I am
rather confldent of winning. The bet is
this: Sweet milk is sold at lc. per quart,
and sour milk at %c. I want one cent’s
worth of both, equal proportions of each.
I gave as answer 10% gills of the mixture,
or 5 % Kills of each. Is it correct?
Youis truly, C. H.
Note. — The answer is correct.

Not a bad heart, but a diseased liver, Is
