THE GALE OF FRIDAY.
Oleasters and Probable Loss ol Life.
The steamer Centennial, under command
of Capt. W. C. Ulmo,arrived last night from
the Satilla, with a number of passengers
and a large freight. Captain Ulmo reports
chat while passing near the mouth of One
Mile Cut, Altamaha Sound, he was hailed
by some person in the water. It was quite
dark and the distressed man could not be
seen. He bad a boat promptly lowered,
however, and rearched about for au hour,
but failed to find any trace of him, and it is
supposed that he became exhausted and
was drowned.
He also reports that a raft loaded with
four hundred sticks, belonging to the Geor
gia Timber and Lumber Company, and with
a crew of three men. drifted to sea from
Altamaha Sound on Friday night.
Capt. Ulmo thinks that The storm on Fri
day night did considerable damage along
the coast.
A Tblef Captured ou the Katie but
JK scape*.
The steamer Katie arrived from Augusta
last evening, and we learn that on her trip
from this city a negro named Tom Talbert
got on board at Matthew’s Bluff. On reach
ing Cohen’s Bluff he attempted to leavo the
steamer, carrying with him a sack of
flour and a package of sugar, which be
had stolen from some freight on board. He
was, however, detected by one of the
hands, who promptly secured him. He
was then taken to Augusta by the
Captain, but ihe authorities there, it is
stated, declined to take any action against
him. The Captain concluded to bring him
to Savannah, but the negro, who it seems Is
pretty eharp, watching his chance, managed
to escape from the boat at Cohen’s Bluff. It
is supposed be lives in that neighborhood.

A SWITCH LEFT OPEN.
It Cause* • Baa OF and Soaae
Damage, Besides Delaylag Two
Train*.
Yesterday afternoon at 9:15 o'clock the
mail passenger train on the Charleston and
Savannah Railway left the depot oa her
regular trip. There were quite a number of
passengers L bound North, and the several
coaches ware well filled. The train had
just gotten under good headway, and waa
running at a speed of about nine miles per
hour, when the engineer, Mr. W.
H. Leake, discovered, JU3t before
reaching the main track, some four hundred
yards or so from the depot, that the switch
was open. He immediately whistled
“down brakes,” and reversed his engine,
but it was too late to avert the accident,
and the engine thnndered over tbe rails,
struck the open switch, and, with the
tender, was thrown from the track,
and narrowly missed being completely
turned over, falling on Its side. As ft
went off tbe track the fireman and wood
pagsej jumped from their positions and
were followed by the engineer, all escaping
without Injury. Mr. W.W. Broughton, so fa
vorably known in connection with
the ticket agency of Major Bren,
having business at the junction,
concluded to enjoy the novelty of a short
ride on the locomotive. He'was on the
engine at the time of the accident, and, fol
lowing the example of the engineer, jump
ed as it went over, and thus escaped ua
h armed. The tender was badly knocked
up, and the front portion of the mail car
was smashed. The engine is damaged
somewhat, and the road bed and some of
the ties Injured. The accident occurred
just the other side of the first culvert, and
under the circumstances It is most fortn
nate, and may be regarded as won
derful that it was not more serious.
Had the engine turned over, the engineer
and others on her would have Inevitably
been caught beneath and crushed or
scalded to death. None of the passengers
were Injured, and were only slightly shocked
by the sudden stoppage. Immediately after
jumping to the ground safely, Engineer
Leake rushed to his engine, as she lay cap
sized on the Bide of the culvert, and pro
ceeded to put the fires out.
A few minutes after this accident had oc
curred the passenger train from Charleston
came In sight, when the engineer, perceiving
the obstruction on the track ahead, slowed
down, and the train was brought up as close
as circumstances would admit.
The busses and carriages meanwhile had
proceeded from the depot to a point near
Saussy * Harmon’s grist mill, which was
nearly opposite the scene of the accident,
and the passengers and baggage on the
train from Charleston were removed at that
point and brought up to the city. The pas
sengers on the disabled train, together with
their baggage and the mail matter, were
transferred to the Charleston train, which
was drilled, and immediately returned to
Charleston, the accident and transfer occu
pying about three hours and a half.
The Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way train, which was to have left at 4:80,
was, In consequence of the obstruction of
the track, unable to leave until about 7
o’clock.
The accident occurring so near the city,
a large crowd, whose curiosity was excited
by the various reports, visited the scene to
see for themselves.
FATAL TEHniN ATION OF A SUN
DAY HUNT.
A Colored Boy Accidentally Killed.
Yesterday afternoon a colored boy by tbe
name of John Harper was fatally shot near
Duggan’s wharf, on tbe other side of the
river, opposite West Broad street. From
what ciuld be learned, after diligent
inquiry, it appears that the mate of a vessel
lying at the wharf was out with some
of the crew hunting rabbits, which are said
to be very numerous on the island. Young
Harper, who lives with his parents on the
Island, was with the men, when tho gun,
a breech loader, which the mate had, was
accidentally discharged, the contents
lodging in the shoulder and
breast of Harper, shattering his
shoulder and lacerating his breast terribly,
tbe wound inflicted producing death in a
few minutes. A messenger was sent to the
city to notify the Coroner, but we are in
formed failed to see him, and hence no in
quest was held. It was Impossible to ascer
tain further particulars in reference to
tbe unfortunate affair, bat from all that
c mid be learned it seems that the shooting
was accidental. An inquest will probably
be held this morning when full information
will be gleaned.
A Slight Fire, which Might Have
Been Serious,
About half past two o’clock Saturday
afternoon some excitement was created In
the neighborhood of Montgomery and Jones
streets by the startling cry of “fire,” occa
sioned by the discovery of a volume of
sparks and smoke Issuing from the roof of &
one-story frame tenement at the corner of
the streets named, occupied by Mrs. P.
Burns as a store and residence. No alarm,
however, was turned in, and the excite
ment was confined to the immediate
locality. Mr. John Kehoe, who resides on
the opposite corner, Mr. John W. Davis and
John J. Walsh went on the roof and suc
ceeded in extinguishing the flames
before any material damage was done, al
though two good size holes were burned
through the roof. The wind was blowing
very stiff at the time, and but for the op
portune appearance of these gentlemen, and
their efficient efforts, a serious
fire would inevitably have resulted. The
roof was Ignited, it is stated, by sparks from
the chimney. Quite a large crowd was col
lected in the neighborhood, and the situa
tion for a time was quite lively.

set of etruscan gold and pearl jewelry.
They say: “We send these as onr mite to

Fell Into a Window.
Saturday morning about half past eleven
o’clock, a white man under the influence of
liquor was staggering down Whitaker
street, near Broughton, when he encoun
tered a youngster on a velocipede. The
youthful rider tried to avoid the zig zag
ging individual, but did not succeed, and
just as the tipsy fellow was opposite one
of the show windows of Lester’s grocery
store, he stumbled over the velocipede and
pitched headlong into the window, smash
ing the large pane, but, singular to say, not
cutting himself in the least. He lay there
perfectly helpless, with his bead through
the broken glass, and quite a crowd col
lected. A policeman coming up, he was
removed aDd carried to the barracks. The
glass was valued at $3 50.
Spring Bill of Fare at tbe Savannah
Coffee House.
Iu another column will be found the an
nouncement of the spring bill of fare for
the Savannah Coffee House. The prices
are reasonable, and everything furnished is
of the best quality. The establishment is
now an institution in the city, and is rap
idly Increasing its patronage. Fine cigars
ana the best quality of tobacco are always
kept on band and rarnished at prices which
cannot fail to give satisfaction.
Liebig Co.’a Coca Beet Tonic
“Is far superior to the fashionable and
illusive preparations of beef, wine and
iron,” says Professor F. W. Hunt, M.D.,
Honorary Member Imperial Medical Society
of St. Petersburg, Russia, etc. It will re
construct the most shattered and enfeebled,
reinvigorate the aged and iDflrm, aDd make
sickly children blooming and healthy. It Is
invaluable In all female complaints, remov
ing irregularity, pains and exhaustion. And
it quiets restless children and infants. Be
ware of worthless imitations.
Fighting ou tbe Street.
About ten o’clock yesterday morning some
disturbance was created on the street by a
fight between two negroes, Henry Jackson
and John Williams, which attracted a large
crowd. How the fierce combat would have
ended It would be difficult to say, bad not a
policeman chanced up in the nick of time
and waltzed the warriors off to the barracks.

CATCHING SHAD.
Unfair and Devastating War lu the
Savannah.
Now, that the shad season has reopened (
says the Augusts Chronidt, we must pro
test against a system of fishery which is both
unfair to upper counties on the Savannah
river, and destructive of future spawning of
this fish. W* allude, of course, to the man
ner In which fish nets are dragged about the
dam across tbe river at the Locks. Last
year we complained of this wholesale abuse
which secured for impecunious fishermen
dozens of shad from the river near the deep
holes between the banks of the stream ana
the dam. Until the construction of
the fish way, all shad going up stream
were obstructed there, and hundreds
were caught up in these holes, where they
congregated, being unable to reach their
spawning beds. This difficulty was ob
vtated by the construction of a fish-way In
the middle of the river, by means of which
any well organized shad, with moderate
strength, experience and education, might
go over the dam. This year, however, we
are astonished to hear that fishermen ac
tually stretch their nets about tbe opening
of tbe fishway, and that no chance is given
the finny refugees whatever. This is un
just, and, of course, unwise. Unjust, be
cause none of the Georgia or Carolina
counties above here have a chance of enjoy
ing the “fruit of the river;” and unwise,
because all the shad are caught up before
they hare a chance of spawning In the clear
headwaters and mountain streams above us.
In this way all chances of future supply are
cut off, and In a few years we will be as des
titute of shad as are the regions mentioned.
Action should be immediately taken to pre
vent this wholesale fishery. If present laws
are not sufficient, the Legislature in July
should pass a law making it a penal offense
to fish around the dam or to obstruct the
fishway.

The Concert aud Opera.
An unusually good house for Saturday,
especially in the Lenten season, greeted
Mad. Carreno’s Opera Company Saturday
evening at the Theatre. The programme as
furnished was no guide for the concert, as
new pieces were substituted, with the ex
ception of Mad. Carreno’s numbers. Her
interpretation of Liszt’s Valse de Faust
was truly magnificent, and the
audience, appreciative to a high
degree, seemed to catch every note she
played. She is truly an artist of rare ability,
and may always be assured of mo6t cordial
reception from her host of Savannah ad
mirers. Her technique is simply wonderful,
and few pianists ever reach the
high point she has accomplish
ed. Nothing too high can be
said in her praise. The numbers of Miss
Roderick and Miss Underhill, as also of
Mr. Robert Stantinl were well sung.
Tagliapletra had not yet recovered from
his cold, and ot course could not do him
self justice. To the disappoiDtment,of many,
an act from “Martha,” which was prom
ised, was not given, the fourth act
from “Trovatore” being repeated In its
stead, and was even better given than ou
Friday night, when the artists were wearied
out with their long trip. They leave this
morning for Augusta, where we bespeak
for them large audiences.
Unwelcome and Unbidden Guests.
It is a strange fancy on the part of some
colored individuals when pretty well filled
up with whisky to invade the houses of
their acquaintances, rendering themselves
exceedingly obnoxious and refusing
to take their departure when requested.
Numerous instances of this character have
been recorded and arrests have been made.
Yesterday there were two unbidden and un
welcome guests of this kind captured by the
police and lodged at the barracks.
Boston King, one of these individuals,
visited the house of Jerry Smith, colored,
and acted in a very disorderly manner,
cursing and abusing the inmates and mak
ing himself exceedingly disagreeable. He
was Invited to leave, but declined, and con
tinued to indulge in his abuse until a police
man was summoned and took him in tow.
James Gaston, colored, was arrested about
12 o’clock yesterday morning, by Policeman
O’Keefe, for entering the house of Sam
Arnold, colored, behaving disorderly and
abusing Sam. These parties will have the
opportunity to explain, In the Police Court
this morning, the whys and wherefores of
such unseemly proceedings.
My Back Pain* Me!
“I feel Dull and Listless 1”
"Such & pain In my Side 1”
“Such an oppressive feeling on my Chest 1”
“Rheumatic Pains almost madden me 1”
“My bones Ache 1”
These are dally exclamations; a day out
in the cold, a little over-exertioa and these
troubles ensue, sometimes they end In a
chronic disease and finally death. Benson’s
Capclne Porous Plaster is the best known
remedy for this class of ailments. It was
invented as an improvement oa the ordinary
porous plaster, to whfsb it is very far su
perior. Benson’s Capcine Porous Plaster
relieves pain at once, and cures where other
plasters will not even relieve. Price 25
cents. Sold by all druggists.

Olive Logan says Mary Anderson’s “love
Impulses are given In such a wav as abso
lutely to shock a spectator of taste.” Mary
