TAKEN TO THE INFIRMARY.
Walsh Removed from the Jail and
flared I'nder the Care of the Sisters
of Mercy.
T. S. Walsh, who was committed to jail
about two weeks ago and who was after
ward discovered to be of unsound mind,
was visited yesterday by Col. C. D.
Owens, General Agent _of the Sa
vannah. Florida and Western Rail
wav in New York, Rev. Father
Mo Nall v and others who have interested
themselves in the unfortunate man’s be
half. and arrangements were made to
have him moved to the St. Joseph’s In
tirmarv. A telegram was also sent to
New York with instructions for a mes
senger to call on Walsh’s mother at No. 223
West Hith street, to acquaint her with the
condition of her son and to ascertain
whether she would prefer to have him
taken to New York for treatment. ’The
address of Mrs. Walsh was learned a day
or two ago from a letter which she wrote
to a gentleman in this city, asking if he
knew where her sen was; that she had
been looking for him to arrive in New
York ironi Jacksonville.
Last night about half past nine o’clock
Walsh was taken from cell No. 4, where
he Iris for some time been confined, and
assisted by officers Henry Haslett and
Charles Bland of the jail guard, he suc
ceeded in walking to a carriage
which was in waiting, and he was
conveyed to the St. Joseph’s Infirmary.
While he was being led out he asked
where he was going and seemed to
lie satisfied that he was on his way, as
lie said, to the “Ocean Pavilion.” He is
very weak and at the Infirmary was re
ceived by tlie Sister Superior, who took
liis arm and lead him to the room, w here
he will be cared for for the present.

Scanian in “Friend and Foe."
The appearance of the talented Irish
actor, W. J. Scanlan, at the Theatre this
week in his well-known play, “Friend
and Foe.” will be an event in theatrical
affairs. The Chicago Xeics says of his
engagement in that city:
••Not a seat has been found empty, and
frequently standing room could hardly be
obtained. A more remarkable thing is
that, lor once, the peopie were right, and
the entertainment was worth all the pat
ronage it received. Mr. 1\ .J. Seaman is
a young Irish actor of superlative merit.
He is handsome in person, polite in man
ner, exquisitely neat and clean in cos
tume, plays with a freshness and spirit
not often seen, sings with a flute-like
voice a repertoire of well-selected songs,
and has a piece exactly suited to his
style. Dramatically he is superior to
Murphv; musically he excels Emmet, and
having the advantage of novelty should
draw equally well at any theatre in
America. He is, in Irish roles, the com
ing man, and all the first-class houses
will before long be anxious to give him
dates.”
“A Bunch of Keys.”
The Charleston Xeics and Courier says
of the “Bunch of Keys” Company, which
plays in this city Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings: “The first act of the play
affords verv little scope of the talents of
the company, but the second and third
acts, in which Mr. Crosbie, as ‘Littleton
Snaggs Esq.,’ tries to run the hotel with
the "co-operation of ‘Teddy Keys’ and
‘Jonas Grimes,’ are probably the most
amusing satire on hotels ever presented
on a stage. Miss Flora Moore as ‘Teddy
Keys’ was bright, saucy and piquant, and
won both by her acting and singing the
most rapturous applause. Mr. Crosbie,
as the landlord, was provokingly funny,
and the acting of Mr. Booker as the mail
of-all-work was capital, while Mr. Joseph
M. Humphreys as ‘Gilly 1 , and
Miss Dolly Norman as ‘Dolly Dobbs act
ed with much spirit and considerable
ability.

SEEKING DEATH BY A BULLET.
Probable Attempt at
Through the Heart and Still Alive—A
Case not Clearly Explained.
The residents of the vicinity of Rey
nolds street and Thunderbolt road in the
extreme eastern part of the city, were
startled late on Saturday night by the re
port that a young man named Clifton
Sickles had shot himsell and was dying in
his room. Exciting as the report was it
failed to spread with as much rapidity
news of such occurrences generally
do. The matter was not given to
the police, and those who were
cognizant of the affair seemed to have pre
served a studied reticence as to the par
ticulars. A well known surgeon was,
however, promptly summoned and ascer
tained that a ball from a No. 32 calibre
Smith and Wesson revolver had pene
trated the heart and passed into the vicin
itv of the fifth rib, where it had lodged. I lie
missile was extracted and the unfortu
nate man placed under the influence ot
morphine, as he was nervous and was
suffering with pain and breathing with
great difficulty. lie was called upon by a
reporter of the Moknixg News last night
and was found in a comfortable, though
not handsomely furnished, back room on
the first floor of t ie house on the east side
of Reynolds street, one door from the
corner of the road referred to. There
were two women in the room, oue of whom
was the wife of Sickles, and at
the foot of the bed on which
the wounded man lay was a fine looking
infant about three months old, wrapped
in a heavy blue worsted shawl, and mov
ing its little hands as if in playful panto
mime with the light of a lamp that shone
over a small clock on the mantel. An
attendant was observing the heats
of the wounded man’s pulse.
As the reporter entered the room the
young man opened his eyes, and in re
sponse to an inquiry, said that he was not
in much pain, but that lie was troubled in
breathing. The doctor had ordered him
to have a teasjioonfui of liquid containing
some morphine every half hour, but that
he thought if he could have a table
spooulul then he would rest easier.
It was given him, und during the tew
minutes while he was speaking the re
porter took The opportunity to observe Ins
features. They were large, round and
full, the forehead high and broad, and his
eyes blue. A full growth of sandy hair
completes the description of a fair com
plexion, which, despite the suflenng ol
the patient, showed him to be
rather a tine looking man. At first
glance an observer would judge him to be
about 22. years of age, but he is said uot to
be over 18. ~.
The young man was married to a Miss
Barrett over two months ago 2nd it was
rumored that the ceremony, so tar as be
was concerned, was compulsory. This
is, however, denied by his friends.
It was stated last night that
be had not been able to obtain employ
ment for some time, and that he was
troubled on that account. It is also
claimed that the shooting was accidental,
but this is not generally believed. The
reporter was informed that the pistol was
in his hand and that it went oil. Before
the reporter left the room Sickles appeared
to be in considerable distress, and quite
nervous, and turther conversation had to
be deferred. The wound is a dangerous
one, and the condition of the patient is
rendered all the more serious from th e
fact that pneumonia set in yesterday af
ternoon.

TEACHERS’ INSTITUTES FOR 1884.
Circular from the State Commissioner
of Schools.
School Commissioner Baker ha 9 received
a circular from Slate School Commissioner
Orr, in which he announces that two
Teachers’ Institutes for the State will be
held this year, probably at Atlanta and
Macon, some time during August, and at
which he hopes to see a good attendance
of teachers.
He wishes every City Superintendent
and all the County School Commissioners
to meet him for three or four days at one
or the other of the places. The State
Board of Education, on the 26th January,
passed the following resolutions:
Besotted, That, in the opinion of this board,
theconnty boards of education, may encour
age county school commissioners to attend
the summer Peabody Institutes for the pur
pose of meeting with the State School Com
missioner. that he may examine into tiieir
inode of administering the school law, coun
sel with them and instruct them in tiieir du
ties.
Besolred, That, in our opinion, the several
eountv boards allow the county school com
missioners their regular per diem, for three
or four days, for the purpose expressed in the
foregoing resolution.
The boards, in bis opinion, ought to
take the action indicated in these resolu
tions. No three or four days’ service ren
dered by the County School Commission
ers in their ordinary work will be worth a
tithe as much in their respective counties
as the daysjspent at the institute. This
is the opinion, without exception, of the
thirty-five Commissioners who attended
last year. Several of them expressed the
opinion that their attendance would re
sult in saving money to their respective
counties.
An effort will be made to secure re
duced railroad transportation and reason
able rates of boarding. At least four in
structors will be employed for each insti
tute. The best available teaching talent
will be procured. When all the arrange
ments have been made, a circular giving
full details will be printed.

its numerous patrons.
THE MILITARY ACADEMY AFFAIR.
The Action of the Trustees of That In
stitution Reviewed.
Editor Morning Xeics: I respectfully
request that you will allow me space to
notice the article published in your
columns on yesterday headed, ‘‘Maj.
Burgess Sustained Action of the
Military Academy Trustees.” The
statement made in the Sunday 1 imes
of the facts developed at the trial
of the Principal of the Military
Academy for an assault and battery on
my son is incorrect and unjust to my son.
The evidence before the court on the
trial showed that there was no attempt by
any of the boys who were playing near
the academy to smirch the uniforms of
any of the Cadets with axle grease. The
evidence, on the contrary, was that a
number ot boys were playing near the
academy and were smirching each other’s
faces with axle grease obtained from pass
ing wagons, and that when the Cadets
were dismissed this sport was extended
to them as they came out of the academy
enclosure. Whatever of boyish mischief
there may have been in the sport, there
was no malice nor intent to injure the
person or the clothing of any of the boys.
The evidence further showed that my
son, while so engaged, was suddenly and
stealthily attacked from behind by the
Principal of the academy, who seized
him by the collar without anv words of
warning or remonstrance, threw him
violently to the ground; that his assailant
placed his knee upon his prostrate form
and heat him with clinched fists in the
head, then jerked him up, choked him so
that he could not articulate, and en
(leavored to dra# him into the build
ing. I was absent from the city at
the time, and upon my return I ad
dressed a letter to the principal asking an
explanation of his attack upon my son.
Receiving no reply from him, I appealed
to the courts for the protection of my son
rather than avenge the injury by a per
sonal attack so long after the assault had
been made and thus also become a viola
tor of tbe law. By this appeal to the court
the principal of the academy had the full
est opportunity to exonerate himself. In
regard to the trial I have only to say, that
it was in a court of competent jurisdic
tion, by an impartial jury of respect
able citizens, no less respectable
and intelligent than tbe gentlemen com
posing the Board of Trustees of the
Georgia Military Academy. The defend
ant was represented by able counsel. He
and his witnesses were fully heard and
the jury rendered a verdict of guilty with
a recommendation to the extreme mercy
of the court. If any errors had been com
mitted ou the trial the defendant had the
right to move for anew trial, and if this
had been refused to appeal to a higher
court. Anew trial was not demanded,
and the presumption as well as the truth
is that the verdict was in accordance with
the facts and was a satisfactory exonera
tion of my son. Allow me to say in the
second place that whatever may
have been the object or purpose
of the Board of Trustees in publishing
their strictures upon the verdict of the
jurv and the sentence ot the court, their
conduct cannot be too severely repre
hended. To thus review and publicly
condemn tbe verdictof a respectable jury,
and judgment of a competent court, and
set up their biased judgment in opposi
tion thereto, establishes a pernicious pre
cedent and strikes at the very founda
tions of the peace and good order ot the
community. Especially is it so here,
when it appears that the President of the
Board of Trustees, Col. C. H. Olmstead,
is the foreman of the grand jury of the
Superior Court, and Mr. B. H. Richard
son. the Secretary of the Board, was one
of the grand jury of the City Court who
found the true - bill for this very assault
and battery.
I do not know by what means tbe Board
of Trustees reached their conclusions, but
they certainly did not have before them
the evidence which had been submitted
to the grand and petit juries, who heard
the case. Nor could they have considered
the respect which they owed to the courts
of the laud, else in charity, it is to be pre
sumed, they would have refrained from
charging the honorable court with sub
jecting their superintendent to a fine for
an “alleged assault and battery.”
I regret exceedingly that l have been
forced to come before the public in this
matter. The injustice done to my son by
the publication in the rimes and by the
action of the trustees of the academy can
be remedied in no other way. The evi
dence submitted at the trial of the cause
in the court to which I had to resort in
order to obtain an impartial account of
the affair justifies me in stating in behalf
of my son that the statement made in the
Sunday Times that be was “chasing the
smaller cadets and attempting to smirch
their uniforms with axle grease,” is with
out any foundation in fact. Respectfully,
,T. R. Saussy.

It is undoubtedly the greatest part ot

tors to examine the hull, the boilei s,
engines, and, if she is a sailing ship, the
spars and riggings, and it these ‘ . .
good order it takes a risk on the
But the ship may be strong and well
found” and yet she may be lost by reason
of incorrect and antiquated charts in the
Captain’s hands. The insurance inspec
tors do not inquire on this point. '' outu
it not be well for them to do so?
In these days of rapid changes the num
ber of coast lights is constantly increas
ing in all growing States. Take the Aus
tralian coast: A shipmaster approaches
it with a chart, several years old; on it is
marked a light at a certain point. but
since the chart was made another light
Ikis been erected on the same shore line.
The Captain sees a light, takes it natural
ly to be the one marked on his cbait, lays
his course accordingly, and runs his ship
ashore. If he had possessed the most re
cent chart, or the latest corrections on bis
own, the loss would not have occuued.
There are many such cases of shipwreck.
Suppose the marine insurance compa
nies should require masters ot vessels, or
their agents, to present a certificate to
the effect that they had the veiy latest
and most authentic aids to navigation.
This could be readily accomplished with
out expense to snip or insurance compa
ny by requiring the master of each ves
sel to obtain the certificate of the officer
in charge of the nearest branch hyuio
grapher’s office, that the charts, sailing
directions and different aid to navigation
have been examined, corrected to date and
stamped. These branch offices have the
verv* latest hydrogrfymc information
that the central office at 'V ashing
ton can gather from all parts ot the
world. The tiles of charts, sailing direc
tions, light lists, notice to mariners, etc.,
are complete and are kept corrected to
the latest date. The officers m charge are
instructed to offer every assistance to any
one who applies for information, and to
correct such charts as may be presented,
or where this would require too much
time applicants are advised to buy tbe
latest editions at one of the various agen
cies established for the sales of the publi
cations of the hydrographic office in the
different cities.
Shipmasters already apply very com
monly to the branch hydrographic offices
established iu New York, Boston, 1 hila
delphia, Baltimore and Sail Francisco tor
such information as will enable them to
correct their charts, for which no charge
is made, as the government officers have
this as part of their duty. But would it
not be well for the marine insurance com
panies to require such inspection and a
certificate of the correctness and suffi
ciency of the charts and other appliances
for navigation as a condition ot granting
insurance?

lodide of Potassium is one of the strongest
of the minerals used in medicine, and has pro
duced much suffering in the world. Taken for
a long time and in large doses, it dries up the
gastric juices, impairs digestion, the stomach
refuses food, and the patient declines in health
and weight. Persons with Blood or Bkin Dis
eases should he careful how they take these
mineral poisons, as in most instances the effect
of them is to almost permanently impair the
constitution. To take the place of these poisons
we offer you a safe, sure, prompt and perma
nent relief from your troubles. Swift’s Specific
