THE FATAL SHOT.
A Stranger Ends His Fife by Sending a
Bullet Through HU Brain and Leaves
No Clue to His Identity-The Inquest
To-day. v
Considerable excitement was created
yesterday afternoon in Market square by
rumors of a suicide at the Harnett House.
Investigation proved the rumor to be true.
On the 23d ot November a middle-aged,
prepossessing man arrived at the hott
and registered as H. C. Winthrop, Kansas
City. He was a quiet gentleman, aud
though somewhat reserved in his matiuer
and address, was, from appear
ance*. believed to represent some
business concern in the West.
UiK.n his arrival he was assigned to room
34 on the third floor. About 1 o clock
yesterday atternoon the chambermaid
rapped at the door, and receiving no
answer pushed it open and entered part
wav. when she was horrified by the sight
of the occupant of the room lying on the
bed. with a bullet wound iu his head and
the blood flowing in a stream over the
bedding and upon the floor. The dis
covery was immediately reporter to the
Coroner, who took the body in charge.
When found the body of the unfortunate
man l*ore evidence* that life had been ex
tinct but a short time. A bullet hole
through the right temple and the blood
streaming over the dead mans face to the
pillow and the fatal pistol clutched in the
right hand told the old story of suicide.
The remains were those ot a man appar
. ntlv about 35 years ot age, of medium
height and with dark hair and smooth
face. His clothes were removed and
laid upon a table by the side of the
bed. There was nothing in sight
in the room to prove the stranger s iden
titv or show where be belonged. An in
vestigation discovered at the foot of the
bed a piece of paper torn from a memo
randum book, wnieb, together with a
small pocket knife, an empty jiocket-book
and a bunch of keys, were found among
hi- effects, and upon w hich w as scribbled
a note to the proprietor of the hotel, saying
that some money which he had sent for
would come in his own name, which was
W. I*. Howard, aud asked that as little
publicity l>e given to hisih'ath as possible.
In the memorandum book was a leal
torn from the* binding upon vyhicb was
written a farewell note —evidently a
copv—as follows:
Savannah, Nov. Is--,.
Brothers ami sisters, all farewell I have
loved von, and love you -till, and if,
through liud-s great men y. 1 am permitted to
meet with -vou all again then may we have
cau-c to rejoice again. All farewell, lfo not
mourn or search for me.
Your unworthv brother,
W. I’. Howard.
On another page was the following:
Savannah, Ga., Nov.
/‘ju> It. llvitarii:
I give to you my watch to keep as yours.
In so doing"
The sentence was left unfinished, but
the date indicated that the purpose to
commit the fatal act had been in his mind
for some days at least. The first pages
of tin* book upon which entries
had !>een]made were torn out, evidently
with a purjiose to destroy any clue that
might lead to his identity, A card found
in one of his pockets bore the name ol a
firm in Ottawa. Kan., and some bottles of
medicine upon a table in the room bore
prescription labels written by Dr. Foster,
Sedalia, Mo. The unfortunate man had
complained of feeling unwell several
times during his stay at the hotel anil
remained in his room, having liis
meals sent to Into. Yesterday morning
he did not come down and his breakfast
was earned to him. Several days ago he
SfHike to the proprietor about having
written for some money, which he sup
posed would come to him in a week, and
to whieh he probably referred in the note
lound mon the lied. The weapon with
which the rash deed was committed was
a double-action self-cocking revolver, of
the Bull Dog pattern, and with 5 3S
calibre chambers. Four cartridges were
discharged and one chamber remained
loaded w hen the weapon was found. Thu
body was removed to the morgue last
night. An inquest, will be held this
morning and the remains will lie buried
at noon.

The Isle of Hope Shell Koa<l.
During the sitting of the Siqierior Court
yesterday, Judge Adams granted an or
der for the incorporation of the Isle of
Ilojie Shell Road Company in answer to
the prayer of a number of petitioners
w hose names are as follows: Col. Barnard
E. Bee. Messrs. Fred. C. Willy. James K.
Munnerlynn.J. H. Johnston, I). C. Bacon,
R, M. Demere, G. W. Wylly, Isaac
Beckett, Ambrose Ehrlich, John W. Bur
roughs. .1. J. McDonough, S. F. Dupon,
Maj. A. Bonaud, and F. Grimball.
The incorporators propose to construct
an air line road from Savannah
to Isle of Hope, a distance of about five
miles, and to make the road suitable for
fast driving at every season of the year by
hardening the surface with a layer of
pounded oyter shells. The road w ill also
have a toll gate, at which eertain fees
will l*e collected on all teams that may be
driven over the proposed road. It is un
derstood that work on the intended drive
will be commenced in a short timp.
Proposed New Route on St. John’s
River.
Mr. J. N. Harriman returned yesterday
from Jacksonville, where he has been
making arrangements for putting on a
line of steamers on the St. John’s river t,
run between Jacksonville and Sanford
connecting the present line atthe Fernan
dina and Jacksonville Railroad wharf.
This will perieet an independent line
from Savannah, via Darien, Brunswick
and Fernandina, and thence by rail to
Jacksonville, and by steamer to Sanford
and way places. It will make connec
tions with the Florida railroad system,
and will be an important lac
tor in transportation in Florida. The
project has not been finally arranged
as yet, as there are several mat
ters at both ends of the line which remain
to be fully settled, the details ot which
remain in abeyance. One thing isf certain,
however: the steamer Florida will go
down on the St. John's river very shortly,
and it is very probable that she will he
placed upon the new route.

GEORGIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Presentation of the Appling Sword of
Honor by Maj. Sidney Herbert and It*
Acceptance by Gen. Jackson—An In
teresting Historical Address.
The meeting of the Georgia Historical
Society last night was one of unusual in
terest. The announcement in theSuNDAY
News that Maj. Sidney Herbert would,
on behalf of the State, present in trust to
the society the sword of honor voted by
the General Assembly to Lieut. Col. Daniel
Appling in 1814 as a tribute of
honor to a brave and gallant soldier,
drew an unsually large attendance
to the society's hall. The presentation
exercises took place before the regular
business meeting of the society.
At 8 o’clock the President, Gen. Henry
R. Jackson, took the chair, and in a few
words, alluding to the purpose of the
meeting.introduced to'the audience Major
Herbert as the author of the movement
which had recovered the honored memo
rial of a brave officer’s memory from
the dust and decay of neglect
and had brought it before the
State, reviving the history ot a soldier
not forgotten, but whose deeds in years
irone by were not fitly engraved in the
pages of Georgia annals.
Major Herbert’s address was one of
great interest, and was listened to with
the closest attention. Beginning, with a
reference to Georgia's soldiery and the
achievements of her brave sons, he traced
.he history of Col. Appling’s life from his
birth as a soldier down to the time of his
death, at Fort Montgomery in 1817, and
paid an eloquent tribute to his memory as
a soldier and as a man. Taking up
the history of the sword, he
gave an interesting account of its
purchase ordered by the General Assem
bly, its iftrival at the capital, after the
death of the lamented officer, and its his
tory during the years that elapsed between
that event and the date of its recovery
from the dust and cobwebs with which it
was covered as it hung half concealed in
the Department of State at Atlanta. The
address lasted fully an hour aud was re
ceived with frequent applause. After the
presentation of the sword, which is
handsomely encased ami mounted upon
silk, surrounded with a rich frame and
the resolutions of the General Assembly
and Executive orders relative to its care
also handsomely framed, Gen. Jackson,
in behalf of the society, in a few words re
ceived the trust committed to Its care.
The scabbard of the sword is of leather,
heavily mounted with the finest quality of
gold. Near the tip is the monogram I).
A., on a shield, and just above it a medal
lion, oblong in shape, covered with imple
ments of warfare. As Appling command
ed Indians as well as Riflemen
at the battle ol Sandy creek,
this medallion shows an Indian battle
axe, bow, quiver and arrows, also rifles
and swords. In the middle of the scab
bard is a beautiful camp scene, represent
ing infantry, cavalry and artillery In the
foreground and the tents in the back
ground. Near the head of the scabbard,
and pendant from a heavy gold band, is a
fine medallion of Col. Appling, which
shows him to have been a stout, hand
some looking soldier. The Damascus
blade is elaborately etched w ith coat of
arms of the United States, and laurel
vines, and bears this terse and appro
priate inscription:
I'HESENTKII
: By the State of Georgia to her son, the :
brave and gallant
I.IEI TKN ANT COL. DANIEL APPLING,
of the Cnited states Army,
For his cool and deliberate valor dis- :
played throughout the action of the
adth of May, ISIS, at Sandy Creek,
when he succeeded in
capturing a superior
British force.
The hilt is of exquisite workmanship.
The handle is of solid ivory, tipped with
an eagle head, the guard is of Roman
gold, decorated with designs in green
gold. The shield is of solid gold, orna-
I rnented with an Indian’s head on each
i side, a monogram, D. A., encircled by a
; wreath of green gold, in the centre, and
i beneath this crossed cannon surmounted
jby a spread eagle. A few weeks ago
1 the sword was hardly considered of
! any Sttlue, but since being repaired
| and refurnished by Mr. A. L. Delkin,
; it is valued at SI,OOO, being as good as
| new. The sword was voted in 1814, and
; was not received by the State from Phila
| delphia until the summer of Dl7, which
I delay was caused by having the sword
! made to order, *uid with original designs
appropriate for the occasion. Appling
died in March, 1817. at Fort Montgomery,
Ala., where he had gone, it is sup
posed. to assist his old comrade,
Gen. Gaines, in his operations against
the Lower Creek Indians. As he left no
heir, the State assumed the custody of the
sword, which was the first “sword of
honor” ever voted by her to a son of Geor
gia in the regular army. The next was
voted a few weeks later to Lieut. James
S. Mclntosh, of Savannah, who was a
Lieutenant under Appling in the Sandy
Creek battle.
Appling was a tine soldier, .rising from
Second Lieutenant to Major and Brevet
Lieutenant Colonel and Brevet Colonel in
the short space of 7 years. Had he lived
and remained in the army he would have
reached the highest rank and made Ills
name illustrious as a great commander.
At the conclusion of the presentation
exercises the society met in regular ses
sion for the transaction of business. In
the absence of the Recording Secretary,
the Librarian, Mr. 'William Harden acted
us Secretary pro tain. The reading of the
minutes was omitted. Applications for
memliership were read and the following
new members were elected: Rev. Charles
AY right Freeland and Rev. J. I*. Strider.

“THE ALASKAN.”
A Handsome Steamer In Port Bound
from Philadelphia to Portland, Ore
gon.
The steamer Alaskan, which arrived in
port Sunday night, was towed down
yesterday from the Central Press wharf
to the old Philadelphia wharf, foot of
Lincoln street, where a reporter of the
News stepped on board to inspect the
vessel. Capt. Samuel G. Martin, the com
mander of the steamer, was recognized as
the old commander of the steamer City
of Bridgeton, of the Georgia and Florida
Inland Steamboat Company, ot this port,
and who also brought her out. The
reporter was shown over the entire
vessel, which is magnificently and
strongly built and will do good service for
the trade she is destined for, plying inland
from Portland, Oregon. The Alaskan
was built at Chester, Pa., by John Roach
fe Son lor the Oregon Railroad and Trans
portation Company tit. a total cost of $250,-
000. She is 275 feet long by 40 feet beam,
and 13 feet depth of hold. Her engines
are 74 inches diameter of cylinder and 12
foot stroke. Her hull is built of steel aud
measures 1,259 tons burthen. <)n her trial
trip front Chester the Alaskan made
twenty miles per hour. Site has sixty-six
state-rooms aud an elegant dining saloon,
and is lighted throughout by electric
lamps, from the state-rooins to the hold.
She carries a crew of 54 men, all told.
The following are her present officers, who
go in her merely to deliver the vessel at
Portland, Oregon, for the builders:
Captain—S. G. Martin.
First Officer—T. M. Smith.
Second Officer—A. F. Cambine.
Third Officer—AVilliam Domhe.
Chief Engineer—Robert Stickman.
Second Engineer—A. A 7 an Schaack.
Third Engineer—Henry Irvin.
Fourth Engineer—R. Van A’alkenburg.
Steward—AV. Pool.
The steamer will remain in port two or
three days coaling.
Capt. Martin commanded the first steam
er (the Cordelia) ever used in the Califor
nia inland trade some years ago.
Theodore Thomas.
To-night the great Symphony Orchestra
of sixty eminent artists, and their re
nowned leader, Theodore Thomas, will
appear at the Theatre. Special coaches and
baggage cars were set apart for their use
on the Augusta train, which brings them
in this afternoon at half-past four o’clock.
They played to a crowded house aud en
thusiastic audience in Augusta last night,
and, judging from the looks of the box
sheet at Davis Bros.’, will undoubtedly
have a big attendance here also. This is
probably the last opportunity our citizens
will have of seeing Theodore Thomas,
and we again urge all of our people that
can, to go and hear his magnificent or
chestra render, under his personal direc
tion, the exquisite getns of music which
make up the evening’s programme. Some
of these selections have never before been
rendered in this country, having been
brought oyer from Europe this fall by Mr.
Thomas, for the first time.
Dyspeptic, nervous people, “out of
sorts,” Colden’s Liquid Beef Tonic will
cure. Ask for Golden's. Of druggists.

Advice to Mother*.
Mrs. AVinslow’s Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “bright as a
buttou.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
for diarrhcea, whether arising from teeth
ing or other causes. 26 cents a bottle.

Who Will Patronize the New Hotel?
People of good appearance are never
objected to by first class hotels, and our
projected palace will be no exception to
tliis general rule.
The projectors will probably decide
oil a name for the new caravansary
very shortly, aud it is very proba
ble’ that it will be christened the
Mitchell House, in honor of Simon
Mitchell, the noted Clothier, who has been
perhaps the most instrumental man in
the city In making our citizens a well ap
pearing people through the medium of his
fine clothing. Clothing may not make the
man, but iUlays a mighty solid basis for a
man’s progress through life. Good Cloth
ing does this, not shoddy odds and ends of
misshapen and misfitting garments.
Mitchell is asking no fancy prices, but
guarantees prices as low as anybody can
sell his styles of Men’s, Youths’ and Boys’
Clothing at. A Merchant Tailor can’t fit
you any better titan he can, and all he
asks is a call and inspection. Mitchell's
line of Neckwear, Underwear, Hats, etc.,
is superb in attractiveness. Look for the
sign of the Golden Arm, at 15!) Brough
ton street, and follow its index finger, and
you are at Simon Milchell’s.— Adv,

nothing undone to enhance the comfort of
its numerous patrons.
The Harnett House, Savannah.
The wonder of those who go to the Har

lent a table and 6iieh comfortable rooms
can be ottered to the public at sueh mini

table of the Harnett is as good as that of
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sura of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—
