THE LAMENTED GOVERNOR. tg
How the Mil Intelligence of His P‘ |
part 11 re Was Received—The City ini
Mourning—Services in the Churches I
Propriety of a Military Representation*
at the Funeral. J
I The intelligence of the death of Governor*
[Stephens was received yesterday morning*
|w ith deep sorrow throughout the city. As*
[soon as the new s became known numlters*
Lf people gathered about the bulletin*
[boards eager for the latest reports, an E
[the demand for papers was so great that*
[the large edition was soon exhausted*
[There was no excitement, but the people*
[gathered quietly in groups , andß
[discussed the sad event. On the!
[streets, at the dejs>ts and on the wharves*
[everywhere, the news was receive g
[with siient respect and grief. _ The city E
[and government offices were closed, but*
[the intelligence soon reached the depart*
[uients and the flags were lowered at halt*
'mast. The deepest sorrow was mani-fl
tested, and everybody spoke with!
bated breath of the sad news. In the bo-1
tels the guests gathered in knots in thel
offices and around the tables, and after
the surprise was over expressed their
sympathy for the people who were his
dearest friends. A party of Northern
tourists joined in the general expression
of sorrow, telling liow the name of the
beloved Governor had become a national
title. One of the leading representatives
of New- York. and a former
associate of the Governor, said
the name of Stephens was
dear to every heart.
People who saw the venerable form
of Georgia’s 4oveil Executive at
the Sesqui-Centennial did not think
to read so soon the news of his death, and
thousands who saw him then fur the first
time will cherish the memory of the great
man. There were no special services in
the churches, owing to the late arrival of
the news, but universally throughout the
city s[eeial prayers were offered for the
friends and the people and the State in the
loss of their Chief magistrate who had
endeared htmself through his eventful
life to the j>eopie without regard to party
or race.
The pastors of the various churches
alluded in their sermons in touching
eulogy of the dead, and the words were
received with silent reverence by many
who till then had not heard the sad news.
Bv noon the flags on the armories, hotels,
and newspaper buildings in the city and
the shipping iu the harbor were at halt
mast and emblems of mourning were dis
played. Elaborate preparations wen
made for draping the City Exchange.
8 \lr. Charles E. Davis, of the New York
I Graphic, has charge of the work, and
■with assistants was engaged all night
■in preparing the emblems. The principal
■feature will lea life size portrait of the
Kiaiin-nted Governor suspended in tin
■arch over the Exchange entrance and
■heavily draped with muslin from thi
g •oluinns. The work will be completed
■to-day and will form a most elaborate
■mouniingeiubl. in. Arrangements have
■also I><n-ii made for appropriate dis
■pluys from other public buildings and th.
■city will generally be dressed in mourn
■ing. Appropriate action will also be
■taken by the city and county authorities
■to manifest the deep sorrow of the coin-
Imunity.
■ Acting Governor Boynton yesterday
■telegraphed to Gen. A. It. Law ton. Col.
*.L 11. Estill, of the Governor’s start’, and
Bother gentlemen in the city, inviting them
■to Is* in attendance in Atlanta this morn
ling, to co-operate in arranging for the
■ obsequies, to take place on Thursday.
g 1 n view of the Governor’s last public ap
■)earance t>eing his attendance upon tin
■•Sesqui-Centennial, it is suggested that de
■tnchments of the Savannah military at
■t.-iul his funeral, and also that one from
■the Hussars be detailed as a mounted es
■cort, and that the Chatham Artillery send
Bu gun to tire a salute.
W LATHER
DIED IN THE CHAINS. r~
■ Death of a Colored Convic t in the Swamp
I —Suspicious of Foul Flay—His Mother
| Demand* an Inquest.
I Coroner Sheltall held an inquest vester
lilay over the remains of Charles St mice,
■colored, who died on Saturday at the con-
Iviet camp on the Waters road. Susan
[.Tones, the mother of the unfortunate man.
■conceived the idea that he had been mur
dered, and called upon the Coroner to
hold an inquest. Inasmuch as a certificate
from Dr. W. G. Bulloch showed that the
deceased died from the effects of cerebro
spinal meningitis, the Coroner deemed an
inquest unnecessary. The mother was.
however, persistent, and called upon the
‘solicitor General, who wrote a note to the
Coroner to the effect that if there a|>-|
!j .eared any indications of ill treatment]
[leading to death or any other circum
stances calculated to excite suspicion, it
would be better to hold an inquest.
Dr. Sheftall responded by citing the
section of the Cotie applicable to
|*uch cases, and intimated that if the
■mother should thake affidavit to the effect
■that she believed the deceased had been
■murdered, he would hold the inquest.
■The affidavit was accordingly made tie fort
■Magistrate Waring Russell, when a jury
■w as summoned, and Doctors J.T. McFar
lland and Stewart Sanders made a post
[mortem examination, including an
■autopsy of the brain, and certified
■that there were no indications of violence.
[The certificate of Dr. Bulloch, the attend
ling physician, was also submitted, after
Iwhicn the inquest was adjourned until to-
Iday, when it will be concluded at tin]
Imorgue, after hearing the testimony ol|
Lome of the prisoners from the convict]
l-ainp. The remains of the deceased were]
■interred in the colored cemetery yester-j
[day afternoon. j
Ireland's Glorious Fatriot. :
| The Sarsfield Social Club will celebrate]
[the anniversary of the birth of Ireland's
[glorious patriot, Roliert Emmet, to-day.
[This celebrated leader ot the Uuited
[irishmen in their efforts to throw off the
[British rule, in his devotion to his coun
try and through his trial and execution
became endeared to the people as a pa
triot, and his memory is revered to day
by the Irish people throughout the world.
The only living descendant of Emmet

Superintendent of the legislative depart-!

[peranee Union. and a lecturer of wonder-1
[fill power, will be in Savannah this week*
[iu the interests of the great work shej
[represents. Mrs. Foster has btvu most*
[enthusiastically received everywhere.!
find has achieved a wonderful triumplil
[for the cause to w hich she has devoted|
[herself. In her recent address lefore thoj
blouse of Representatives of the Ohio!
[Legislature, she gave a graphic, pointed!
[and intelligent exposition of local optiong
license and prohibition. She then nre-l
tented the petition in favor of prohibitory|
Ltmcndment with signatures gathered!
prom every quarter of the State. The po-J
pitions figitre a total of 1.55,4.45, of w hich!
■75,140 are voters, and the remaining!
■0,313 women. Mrs. Foster’s closing re-1
puarks were: I
I “Gentlemen, before me you see two!
|eases containing petitions which repre-|
pent the sentiment of the.women of Ohio,!
Imd their desire as to your action. They!
ask that this Legislature submit a eonstiJ
tutional amendment to the people forever]
prohibiting the sale and manufacture of]
ill intoxicating liquors. Gentlemen, this]
is a constitutional right, and we humbly]
ask you to consider the prayer of these
one hundred and fifty-five thousand of the
people, citizens of this commonwealth. It
is true, gentlemen, some of them
can’t vote. When you present these
to-morrow, do not say, ‘I hold in
uty hand a petition of so many voters,’
uid then with a sneer, ‘so many women.’
Remember, gentlemen, we are your wives
and sisters, and ask you to do this for our
good, your good, the good of the home.
These petitions will be intrusted to you.
To us they are sacred. As our represen
tatives, we ask you to guard our homes.
They ask you to’ do the right thing—that
which will bring happiness to all the
people. Gentlemen, you can trample on
these requests, and disregard the sacred
right of petition, but remember this is one
af our ancient lilierties. 1 am reminded
of a custom observed in the thirteenth
century by the Bishops, who pronounced
twice a year in the presence of the King,
i curse upon the infringer of England’s
ancient liberties.”
Mrs. Foster will be in Savannah and
will address a mass meeting on Friday
night on temperance. On Saturday after
noon there will lea meeting for children.]
Mrs. Foster is equally happy in adapting]
her discussions and arguments to the]
comprehension of the feeblest mind, as]
well as to that of the keenest judgment]
and most cultivated taste. Rev. C. ll.]
Mead, of New Yoek, will also speak on]
that occasion. Saturday night Mrs. Fos-j
ter will again address a mass meeting-]
and on Sunday afternoon a meeting will]
tie held at which Mrs. Foster, Rev. C. ll.]

THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
The Movement to Increase Its Facilities]
—A Commendable Kffort.
A commendable interest is being maui-]
Tested in the Military Academy, and the]
efforts suggested to promote its facili-J
:ies are meeting w ith the indorsement of]
the leading citizens and educationalists]
if Savannah. At the meeting held on the]
24th instant the initial st<*ps were]
taken toward extending the advan-j
cages of the school and securing]
its incorporation under the State laws.]
Committees were appointed to consider]
the means of l>est securing these ends,]
During the past week ettoi-ts have been]
made to secure a suitable site]
for the proposed new buildings, and]
the committee already have in view
several desirable locations. The:
unlooked-for but deserving success of the]
school and its increase in number of stu-j
lents arc evidences of the ability of
ts faculty and ot what would be]
if there were sufficient tacilities tor the!
iccommodation of pupils. A meeting of]
he committee was held Saturday and a]
public meeting will Is: held at the]
Academy building to-night at o’clock,]
when there will be addresses by prom i-j
:it‘nt citizens, and further steps will]
pc taken to forward the movement and]
secure needed advantages to the school. ]
Improvements in Savannah Property —]
Wliat was Seen in a Walk Through the]
City. ]
A walkthrough the city would surprise
any one who had not been in Savannah for
a couple of years. Real estate during]
that period has shown an upward move-!
ment, and building lots have quadrupled
n value. Notwithstanding the good price]
>f staple securities, investors apjieur to]
have directed their attention to real
I estate. Some of the older houses have]
been enlarged and modernized, so to]
-peak, and a large numlier of new resi-]
lences have been erected and present a]
verv attractive appearance. There]
never has been so much activity in|
ihis line in savannah. Tffusc who]
have the means evidently find it safe and]
profitable to invest their money in thi*|
direction, where it yields a steady and]
regular income, though a percentage less]
than to place their funds into stocks and|
tike securities, which sometimes shrink in]
a dav. The larger number of new houses
have been erected in the southern portion
of the city, but the demand for an addi
tional number continues. Hence the call
for more street crossings and other con
veniences is likely to lie heard from time
to time by the Committee on Streets and
Lanes of the City Council.
[Saturday's Rla/.e—Fire in a Harris Street
| Dwelling.
Saturday afternoon, shortly after ‘2
[o’clock, flames were seen issuing from
[the second story ot a frame house owned
by Mr. Frank 'Walsh, on Harris street, a
few doors west of 'Vest Broad street. The
doors communicating with the floor where
the tire was were locked, and the holder
of the key was absent, hence the tenants
an the lower floor did nothing toward
extinguishing the flames when
they were discovered, but suc
ceeded, however, in removing nearly
all their household effects. Meanwhile,
an alarm sounded from box No. 23 called
the lire department promptly to thi
scene, and though a high wind was blow
ing and all the adjoining buildings are ot
wood, the fire was confined to the struc
ture in which it orignated. and
Lilly the roof of the house and the upper
[portion of the building were burned.
Some furniture and bedding were also
lost. The loss will not exceed $250. Then
was no insurance. The tire department
is generally commended for the skill ex
hibited in the management of the flames.

1 Court ot Ordinary—Habeas Corpus.
I Mr. J. T. Brennen, of Bulloch county,
■sued out a State’s writ of habeas corpus
lagainst Mr. Richard A. Pollard, of this
Icity, made returnable before the Ordinary
Pof Chatham county, and a hearing upon
■the same was had Saturday. The writ
■was for the purpose of obtaining the cus-
Itody and control of Ida Eugenia Pollard,
■aged thirteen, a daughter of Richard A.
■Pollard. Upon an investigation into the
■facts and the law applicable thereto, the
■Ordinary remanded the child to the
■custody of the parent. The facts per
itaining to this case are substantially as
■follows: On the 18th of January, 1877,
■Mr. Pollard, bound out two of hischildren
Ito the Protestant Episcopal Orphans’
■Home, he to provide for their board and
■clothing. The children remained at the
■Home until some time in December, 1879,
■when the authorities of that institution,
■without apprising Mr. Pollard of their in-
Itcntion, apprenticed the children to Mr.
ißrennen, of Bulloch county, under the
■terms of their charter. Both children re-
Imained with Mr. Brennen until some
Itime in May 1882, when that gentleman
■came ou a visit to Savannah, bringing the
■youngest of the children, Ida, with him.
|By some means the child had an inter
view with her father, who took possession
nt her and refused to deliver
her up, alleging that the chil
dren had not been properly treated,
and that the Home had no right to ap
prentice them. The elder daughter is]
still with Air. Brennen, the subject matteiT
of the writ heard Saturday leing only for
the possession of Ida Eugenia Pollard.
The Ordinary remanded the child to the
control of the parent, principally on ac
count of the fact that, as he was to board
and clothe his children at the Home, he
should have been notified of the intention
of the authority thereof to apprentice
them, and also because the Home had ap
prenticed the children beyond the limits of
the county, as well as the jurisdiction of
the Ordinary.

THE NEW COMET.
Wherf to tiook for It—A Probable Bril
liant Display—Last Year'* Visitor StiU
Visible.
A Baltimore astronomer has been study
ins' the new comet discovered by Professor
Swift from the Warner Observatory last
week, and has obtained satisfactory ob
servations. Its astronomical position has
been approximately noted in right ascen
sion 23 hours and 38 minutes and decliua
tiou north 28 degrees and 30 minutes. • The
position is northwest by west, and near
the horizon just after twilight. The cen
tral condensation of the comet was almost
Stella, and it was surrounded by a large
mass of haze. Tne tail was about thirty
minutes long, but very faint. The comet
is very bright in the telescope, and on a
ilark sky, away from the twilight, could
be seen by the nuked eye. Its mo
tion since its discovery has been east
ward 11 degrees and northward
u degrees, a probable indication that it
has been around the sun and is going otf
into space. One may, therefore, get a
nearer view as it passes the earth, but if
it is still on its way toward the sun, there
will probably be more brilliant display.
More observation is needed before any
thing definite can Ik* said. The gentlemen
engaged in making the observation have
also been watching the course of the large
comet of last autumn, which is still visi
ble in the teleseoiK*. It was seen almost
due south, at an elevation of about 33 de
grees above the horizon, appearing as a
faint brush of light in the heavens.
