“The tourists ” To-Nlsht.
This evening Smith & Mastayer’s Come*
dy and Musical Company Will make their
first appearance at the Savannah Theatre in
an amusing piece, entitled “Tourists on the
Pullman Palace Car,” which Is said to be
brim full of fun and jollity. A New York
exchange thus speaks of it:
“The present season of ‘The Tourists,’ at
Hayerly’s Fifth Avenue Theatre, iaone of
the most successful engagements played ia
this theatre in many years. Ths reason for
this Is obvious. The entertainment is clean
and wholesome. The many imitations
which have followed ‘The Tourists’ order of
entertainment have mistaken vuigarlfv for
fun and coarseness for humor. ‘The Tour
ists’ are originators; their sorgs are new,
and, in some cases, specially adapted. They
have struck the popular fancy in the
presentation of tuneful melodies and
spirited refrains, r.nd the conglomeration of
absurdities which make up the entertain
ment are original, irresistibly grotesque,
and uproariously funny.”
The diagram for reserved seats is now
open at Bren’s ticket office, and if you wish
eligible places call early and secure them.
The Explotion of a Cartridge Creates
an Excitement.
Yesterday morning, about half past nine
o’clock, considerable excitement was occa
sioned in the neighborhood of B irnard and
McDonough streets by a loud report.
Investigation revealed the fact that the
noise was caused by the explosion of a
cartridge. It seems that young Mr. Mc-
Alpin was arranging some things in his
room at his residence, corner of Barnard
and McDonough streets, and threw out of
the window a lot of small articles among
which were a couple of cartridge shells of a
a shot-gun, which he presumed were early.
One of them proved to be loaded, however,
and as it struck the pavement it exploded.
It is not known In what direction the ball
went, bat the supposition U it took an up
ward flight - , as there were no evidences of it
having struck anywhere.
Stocks and Bonds.
Central opened weak yesterday morning
at a slight decline from previous figures,
but later in the day rallied and closed very
firm at quotations. Every effort was made
bv the “bears” to bear the market, but with
out success. Owing to the strength devel
oped by the “bulls,” and the confidence the
general public have In the stock, the market
closed at 109 bid. 110 asked, with sales of
between 600 and 700 shares. Southwestern
opened at 118 bid, 120 asked, and closed at
the Same figures. Georgia common opened
and closed at 155 bid, 100 asked. Central
Railroad six pier cent, certificates of indebt
edness opened and closed at 93 bid,
asked.
A Whlky Row.
Yesterday afternoon about half past four
o’clock two men, who were in a saloon on
Whitaker stieel drinking, got into trouble.
They were both pretty well under the in
fluence of whisky, and a remark made by
one was regarded as an insult, and was
quickly resented. The parties clinched and
had a regular rough and tumble fight, and
finally rolled out of the saloon into the
street, where, after fighting for some lime,
they were separated by the porter of the
saloon, before the arrival of the police.
"Stumbling Blocks.”
As announced previously, Rev. Z. T.
Sweeney preached last night at Armory
Hall to a well filled house upon the above
subject. It was a consideration of various
questions which meet the inquiring soul on

out the pathway of safety, it was one of
the speaker’s characteristic sermons and
abounded in illu??ra'lons of force and apt
ness. Use sut ject for to-night is “The
demption of the Christian as Typified by
the Deliverance of Israel from Egypt.’*
Protracted Heetloga at the Bsptht
Char eh.
A large audience assembled at the Bap

ries of meetings. Mr. Hutson’s frank, manly
statement of toe claims ol Christianity pro
duced a deep impression on those who lis
tened to him, and we are requested to state
that he will preach every evening of this
week In the same p!ac, services com
mencing at eight e’clock promptly.
Had Hla Foot Hashed.
At twelve o’clock yesterday Mack Jones,
colored, in the employ of Mr. James K.
Munnerlyn as a drayman, was assisting
several other men to get an engine on his
dray at the Baltimore steamship wharf,
when the heavy ergine slipped, and falling
on his right foot mashed his toes in a horri
ble manner. The pain was intense, and in
great suffering the poor fellow was assis'ed
to bis home, where a physician was sum
moned to hie relief.

Naval Stores Afloat.
Yesterday afternoon, about two o’clock, a
fl*t belonging to Messrs. Merrimau & Kyle,
which was being drifted up the river from
the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way wharves, met with a mishap. The flat
was loaded with someone hundred and
eighty b irrels of rosin and twenty-five sacks
of guano, In charge of six negroes. The
ride was strong, and the craft was drifting
up the river rapidly, and when passing the
Baltimore wharf, swerved in close to
the steamship Wm. Lawrence which was
on the eve of departure for Baltimore.
The propeller of the steamer was In motion
at the time, and the flat, colliding forcibly
against It, had a large plank knocked off the
side, and the water rushing in filled her rap
idly and she sank to the water’s edge. The
rosin floated up the river In all directions,
and some seventy-three barrels were secured.
It is expected the remainder will be secured
to-day. The flat was towed to the opposite
side of the river, most of the guano remain
ing on it. The steamship was not damaged
by tbe collision, which might have been
avoided had the hands in the flat exercised
a little more caution. They were pretty
badly frightened when the fiat struck the
propeller and their craft sank from under
them. Five of them managed to climb up
the side of the steamship and were helped
on board, and the other sprang into the
river and swam for the shore, which he suc
ceeded in reaching. They were not Injured,
but the wetting they received considerably
demoralized them.
A Severe Slorai.
The rain, which commenced on Monday
af eruoon, developed into a fearful shower
about eight o’clock, which lasted nearly
half an hour. It then ceased until about
twelve o'clock, when, accompanied by a
strong wind, the rain again commenced,
and gradually increased in violence from
three o’clock until nearly five yesterday
morning, when it came down in per
fect tiUTen s, and the wind increased
in velocity. The streets were
literally flooded, anil great pools of water
were seen in various parts of the city.
There was, fortunately, no damage done in
the city or immediate vicinity, if we except
the destruction of one of the large pines on
the eastern side of the fountain In Forsyth
Park. This tree was snapped in twain
about twenty feet from the ground.
We learn from Conductor Blanchard, of
the Charleston and Savannah Railway, who
arrived here yesterday morning, that a num
ber of trees along the ilne of the road were
blown down between this city and Graham
ville, and several of the telegraph poles
were prostrated. At Ferrebeeville, three
miles This side of Grahamville, the storm was
very severe. Hie residence of Mr. Henry
Mew, near the station, was unroofed, the
pDzzis blown entirely away, and the store
adjoining was toppled completely over, and
presented the sppearance of being wrecked.
So far as we heard there was no loss of life.
Jugglery on the Street.
Yesterday afternoon about two o’clock a
countryman, who was apparently somewhat
exhilarated from tampering with the
“rosy,” approached the fruit vendor's stand,
at the corner of Barnard and Congress
streets, and priced his apples. Whilst talk
ing tp the vendor he picked up several of
the apples and tossed them in the air, catch
ing them a- tney descended, and keeping
five going at tbe earns time. The veudor
was rather amused at this skillful jugglery
until the countryman, becoming tired of his
sport, deliberately walked off, as he threw
the applet up again and they desolnded to
the pavement with a thud and were mashed.
The vendor thereat became very much In
censed and started after the country juggler,
bu r W;S unable to pursue him far, being
afraid to leave bis s'and unattended.

ROBBING A FREIGHT CAB.
Arrest of Two Nsxroes-Bscovery of
Some of tbe Goode.
Several days since a freight train from
Florida over the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway, loaded principally with
rosin and other naval stores, arrived in the
city and was run down to the railroad
wharves, where the naval stores were
to be discharged and the train
to be returned to the depot for the
discharge of the general freight. In one of
the cars, in addition to a lot of rosin, were
several bundles of furs, skins, and a
box containing a valuable rifle and hard
ware. It appears that In unloading
the car not only the rosin was re
moved but tbe other articles mentioned,
and when the car was returned to the depot
it was found to be empty. An investiga
tion was at once made by Mr.
W. 8. Bt. George, the Freight Agent,
but nothing was beard until Monday, when
it was ascertained that some negroes had
offered a lot of furs for sale to Mr. Lee Roy
Myers, on Biy street, who had refused to
buy them. Another lot was taken to the
store of Mr. T. A. McMahon, in the eastern
part of the city, who, after he had bought
them, suspected they might have been
stolen, and therefore made inquiries, and
located the sellers. Subsequently Mr. Mc-
Mahon heard of the robbery at tbe rail
road wharves, and making search for the
parties found one of them on the street,
who was arrested and lodged In the
barranks. This individual was Andrew
Runnells, who was yesterday delivered over
to Magistrate Waring Russell, by whom he
was committed to jail. Andrew, becoming
frightened at the tarn affairs had taken,
confessed that Charles Dixou, a notorious
negro wharf thief, was concerned in the
robbery with him, and during yesterday
morning Charles was arres’ed and commtted
to jail by Magistrate Russell These captures
led to the discovery that there is a regular
organized band of negro thieves on the
wharves who have for some time past been
engaged In systematic stealing. The greater
portion of tbe furs was recovered, but the
box containing the hardware and the gun is
missing. Constables Wetherhorn and Sul
livan were out yesterday afternoon on the
search for other suspected parties and the
remaining missing property. It is antici
pated there will be additional arrests
shortly. The railroad officials intend prose
cutiDg these fellows to the full extent of the
law. _
THE POST OFFICE.
Tiie Project for a New Post Office
Probably Abandoned.
81nce the visit of the Post Office Depart
ment Supervisor to this city for the purpose
of examining into the question of erecting
a building for the post office, there has been
some interest manifested to see hts report.
Months have elapsed and nothing has been
heard from him. From what we can
learn the report will be that, as
a suitable site for the proposed
building cannot be had at a reasonable
figure, the post office remain where it
is. This seems to be the result, as the
floors now used are being kalsomined
inside blinds put on and other improve
tnents made which would not be done if
there were a probability of the government
giving up the premises. It appears to be
the general wish among the Bay street mer
chants to keep the office on that street.
Either on that street, or on Bull or
Broughton streets, will suit the business
men, though the la’ter would be more con
venient to the general public. It is thought,
however, by those in a position to know,
that owing to the high prices asked for eli
gible sites, the proposed post office building
may be considered abandoned for the
present. _
lIOVIICIDE OK SI’ICIDE
Tha Golden Case Goea to tho Jury-
No Verdict Lilt Night.
The trial of Thomas Golden, indicted
for murder, which occupied the attention
of the Superior Court all dy Mon
day, was submitted to the jury yesterday.
On the opening of the court the Solicitor
General briefly outlined bis ground of the
prosecution, and was fol’owed by Messrs. J
J. Abrams and A. P. Atk-rosfor - ■ defense,
who argued from the evidence a .cedtbat
the deceased bad shot her.-eif :.- . that the
case was one of suicide, not tnur- present
ing the defense very forcibly. To Solicitor
General summarized the evidence In an
able manner and made an a'gument in
behalf of the State of much power. After a
a concise and lmpaitial charge from the
court, which seemingly was satisfactory to
the S’ate and tbe defense, the esse was sub
mitted to the jury at a quarter past one
o’clock, who thereupon retired. Up to tix
o’clock they had not agreed, and the court
took a recess until 10 o’clock this morning.
The Dulle* ot a Coroner’* Jury.
There has of late been considerable com
ment on tbe findings of the Coroner’s jury,
and the impression seems general that they
have exceeded their duties in designating
in case* of homicide the grade of crime. It
is contended that the Coroner’s jury have
only to ascertain in such cases how and
in what manner, and at whose hands,
the decea s ed met his death, but have no
right to express an opinion or render ayer
4ict as to whether it is murder, voluntary
manslaughter, justifiable homicide, etc.
This is a mistake, as the Code distinctly
declares the power of the Coroner's jury In
such language as to leave no doubt on the
subject, and as the matter is of universal
interest we give the full text of section
4105 of the Code of 1873. which Is still in
force, and which is as follows:
£4105 Charge >f Coroner and Power of Jury.
—The Coroner shall charge ihe jury to de
clare of the death of the person upon whose
body the Inquest is held, whe.ber such per
son died by murder, manslaughter, misad
venture, misfortune, accident or otherwise,
and who and when, and by what means and
what manner, and If by murder, who was
the principal and who were accessories, and
if by manslaughter who were the perpetra
tors, and with what instrument the stroke
or wound was in either case given, and so
of all the prevailing circumstances, which
may come from presumption, and if by mis
adventure, misfortune, accident or other
wise; whether by the act of God or man,
and whether by hurt, fall, stroke, drowning
or in any other way, also what persons were
present at the death, also from whence the
deceased came, and who he was, and who
are his parents, relatives and neigh
bors, and also who were the finders
of the body, also whether be died in the
same the body was found or else
where, and if elsewhere who removed the
body, and also of all the circumstances re
lating to said death; and if tbe deceased
dies in prison the Coroner should
further charge the jury to inquire whether
he died by hard usage there or not, and if
so by whom, and if the deceased put an end
to hie life to inquire of the manßer and
means used or instrument employed, and of
the circumstances concerning It, and the
jury shall have full and unrestricted power
to inquire and pass upon ail the matters and
things thus given them in charge, and they
shall have thi6 power even If the whole or a
part of the charge be omitted.

Association of Savannah, to whom it is ad

Norfolk, March 22, 1882.
Dr. A. Gentler, E*</ :
Dear Sir —On my arrival here I find a
letter awaiting me from my partner in New
York, saying the Ocean Steamship Company
have taken exceptions to a remark I made
at your meeting last week, when I said
“they had no lights on their dock in New
York, consequently conlct nut unload their
steamers arriving there before daylight. 1 '
George Yonge, Jr., the Agent in New
York, reports they have lights on tteir
dock, but were placed there in September
last. When I made the remark, I was speak
ing of the vegetable season of 1881, which
was over before September.
I am very glad to know they have facili
ties this coming season for lighting the
dock, but hope they will give us a Tuesday’6
ship from Sav&nDah. which will be worth to
tbe Savannah and Florida truckers at a low
estimate one hundred thousand dollars.
Please be kind enough to have the above
published in the Savannah Morning News,
as I did not, nor do I wish to, do the com
pany anv injustice.
Yours, very truly,
R. E. Cochran.

BURGLARIZING THBOUGB AN
ELEVATOR.
How on Ex-Porter who Boowaed
Above x Store Robbed It—Leyln*
in Supplies for a Batnr Day.
For several weeks past different articles
have been missing from the ship chandlery
and grocery establishment of Major John
Cunningham, on Bay street, between Aber
corn and Drayton streets, and it was Impos
sible to account for their disappearance. As
the place Is always securely locked at
night, and there were no indications
discovered showing that it had been en
tered from the outside, an air of mystery
pnveloped the affatr. It was therefore evi
dent that the frequent depredations were
made by someone well acquainted with the
premises and who possibly had a secret pass
age in the building, a la the palaces ot some
of the feudal lords in ancient times, through
which he made his entrance into and exit
from the store with the booty he there se
cured. On Monday morning early the
porter on opering the store was sur
prised to find some articles
lying on the elevator, which he knew were
not there when the store was closed on Sat
urday night. He at once notified Major
Cunningham of the discovery, and Mr. H.
A. Elkins, tbe chief clerk, determined to
remain on duty until a late hour Monday
night In the hope of trapping the nocturnal
visitor, but he was unrewarded.
Yesterday morning suspicion was again
aroused by the appearance of things about
the elevator, and Major Cunningham at once
decided on a thorough investigation. In
the third story of the building, direc*lv
above the store, was a room occupied by
Thomas Hamilton, who, until within about
six weeks, had been emp’oyed by Major
Cunningham as porter for over three years,
and who had borne a good character. S >me
cause for dissatisfaction having arisen,
however, he was discharged, but continued
to occupy the room over the store.
About a week ago he was
appointed on the police force
by the Mayor. The elevator extends from
the ground floor to the top of the building,
and passes through the room occuDied by
Policeman Hamilton. Hence, after the dis
coveries mentioned, suspicion was directed
against him. Inquiry was made at the bar
racks as to what hours he was off duty, and
it was learned that he came off on the last
relief, and possibly was In his room at the
time. Major Cunningham secured four
policemen and commenced the search. One
of the officers, accompanied by some of the
clerks and a negro, started upwards on
the elevator, and had nearly reached the
third floor, when their further progress was
suddenly cheek, and, and an examination
showed that a knot had been tied in the
rope above. The negro climbed up and
freed this, and up the elevator went. Mean
while two policemen had gone up through
the adjoining building out ou the roof, and
came down through the scuttle of Major
Cunningham’s store. Here they discovered
concealed beneath the roof and upper
ceiling a grocery store on a small
scale, there being quite an assorted
stock concealed therein. The partv on the
elevator, upon reaching the third fl ior, on
which was the ex-porter’s room, discovered
two buckets secured to the wheel which
were filled with boxes of cigars, bottles of
whisky, tobacco and other articles, the en
terprising burglar apparently not having
hud time to remove them. All these articles
were at ones transferred to the lower fl oor.
The room of Hamilton was then entered,
and he was found lying on the bed appa
rently feigning sleep. He was arrested
and taken before Magistrate Molina,
who committed him to j ail on the
charge of burglary. A search warrant was
issued by the same magistrate and the room
was thoroughly searched by Constable Ea
dres. A ham, gome sweet oil, cigars, wine,
and other articles were found.
From the developments it would seem
that the elevator was used as a means of
obtaining access to the store, and tbe arti
cles taken were readily transferred to the
third floor, and but for the failure on the
part of the raider to remove tbe articles,
which were found there early Monday
morning bv the police, the systematic bur
glariz ng might have been continued.
We understand that the friends of Hamil
ton were greatly astonished at the announce
ment of his arrest on such a serious charge,
as he had always been regarded as an indus
trious, honest man. During his brief term
of service on the police force he had con
ducted himself well.
The exact amount of the goods stolen ii
not ascertained, but as they have been dis
appearing for some time, ft is thought the
loss will approximate several hundred dol
lars. The Intention of Major Cunningham
is to vigorously prosecute the case.
About Advertising.
If you cau arouse curiosity by an adver
tisement, it Isa great point gained. The
fair sex don’t hold all the curiosities in the
world.
A thing worth doing, is worth doing well.
A thing worth advertising, is worth adver
tising well. A newspaper worth advertising
in once, is worth making a contract with.
It is a mistaken notion that a fine store in
an eligible location, surrounded by attract
ive signs, is a superior advertisement, for
tbe experience of the most enterprising
merchant is, that it pays better to spend
b es in rent and more in advertising.
Advertising is the pole that knocks the
persimmons.
The enterprising advertiser proves that he
finderetands how to buy, because In adver
tising he knows how to sell.
Bread is the staff of human life, and ad
vertising is the staff of business.
A simple card may profitably stand years
without change, but a sensational advertise
ment should be changed as often as you can
get the printer to do it.
Now is tbe time to think about advertis
ing, and reflection should be followed by
judicious action.
To make a man realize an idea as you
realize it is what is necessary to make him
understand bis needs. Advertisements
should aim to place a matter so clearly be
fore the public that they see it as clearly as
the advertiser does.
Enterprising people are beginning to learn
the value of advertising the year round. The
persistency of those who are not intimidated
bv the cry of “dull times,” but keep their
names ever before the public, will surely
place them on the right side in the end.

HOME MANUFACTURES.
How They Can be Fo*t*r*d and
Prospered,
It requires no argument to sustain the
assertion that the community which sup
ports and fosters home enterprise and manu
factures most necessarily become prosper
ous and flourishing. The fact is so patent
as to force conviction upon every intel
ligent mind. Communities are co-operative
and mutual in their character, and when a
people show their appreciation of this prac
tically as well as theoretically, the results
can but prove profitable and advantageous,
hence the importance of sustain
ing home industries, whose success is for
the general good. Many of our people have
frequently sent away for that which they
can obtain in their own city, and much more
to their satisfaction, simply because they
have fallen into the habit of it, and don’t
give the matter that consideration they
should. Many possibly are not aware of the
fact that they can be as well suited in every
respect at home as they can b* abroad,
possibly better. In writing thus
we only desire to present a subject of
no little importance in a light which must
impress every citizen who gives any thought
to the future welfare and prosperity of the
community in which he lives, and whose
ideas soar beyond the mere confines of his
indivtdull business. A moment’s reflection
will satisfy any intelligent man that a large
amount of money is annually sent oat of
this city, aiding and building up the manu
factories of other places, which could be
more judiciously and as profitably expended
in the same way here, as we will presently
show.
Thia can easily be done by confining our
remarks to one line—mercantile printing—
and in this connection we would refer to
the Morning News establishment, from
one of the departments of which for some
months past there has been turned out
work in anew line, which should have the
encouragement of those who really desire
to build up home irdustry. In the finer
lines of commercial and mercantile print
ing, lithographing and engraving has super
ceded the ordinary Job work, which in
its day was considered perfection. The
proprietor of the Morning News establish
ment determined that those who desired
this finer style of work should not be com
pelled to eend abroad for It, and last fall a
steam lithographing department was added
to the facilities of the establishment, a first
class artist and engraver, and a corps of
skilled workmen were secured, and the
artistic printing which has been produced
(luring the Interval is the beat evi
dence of what can be done. The
introduction of this branch, with It* valua
ble machinery and properties, was a costly
experiment, but not a hazardous one, pro
vided the local work of our business men
can be retained at home. The determina
tlon is to do this, if excellent work and
prices the saifie as charged In Northern
cities can accomplish It. With this purpose
in view the proprietor of the Morning
News establishment requests that those
who desire anything In the engraving or
lithographing line, such as bonds, bills of
exchange, checks, drafts, Invoices, circu
lars, note heads and letter heads, bill heads
and the various kinds of work now
executed by this process, will give the new
branch a trial, with his usual guarantee that
all orders shall be well executed or no pay
required.
It U not an exaggeration to say that fully
one hundred thousand dollars worth of this
cla'S of work is sent out of this State every
season, which can and should be done at
home, and deserved support thus be given to
people who buy goods of our merchants and
pay rents to our property owners. The
Morning News establishment gives employ
ment to more people than any institution
in this city, excepting the railroads, ard its
pay roll for labor alone amounts to $BO,OOO
per annum, all of which is expended In our
community.
It is not In an egotistical spirit or a desire
to parade a large business that we make
this statement, but with the object of dem
onstrating to those who are Interested In
the prosperity of Savannah how easily home
industries, the value of which has been so
often presented, can be fostered and pros
pered without any Investment on their part
—merely the expending of money they now
send abroad among their own people.

Hope for Suffering Woman—Some

By reason of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris
ing from the want of knowledge, or of con
sideration on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities pe
culiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to
a degree which no language can erpress. In
the mansions of the rich and the hovel of the
poor alike, woman has been the pat ient victim
of ills unknown to man, and which none but
she could endure—and without a remedy. But
now the hour of her redemption has come.
She need not suffer longer, when she can find
