KILLED WITH A BRICK.
A Tragedy on New Houston T 1 *®
Little Son of a Well-Known
Fatally Wounded by a Missile Hurled
by a Colored Lad-The Coroner s In
vestimation To-Day •
About live o’clock yesterday afternoon
the residents of the southwestern portion
of the city were startled by the report
that a white boy. about 13 years old, the
son of Paul E. Masters, a well-known
plumber, had been killed by a colored boj
about his own age. Exaggerated rumors
of the tragedy were circulated, and in a
few minutes a crowd of at least 200 per
sons congregated in front of Mr. Masters’
residence on New Houston street, two
doors east of West Broad street, eager to
learn the particulars connected with the
affair. It was ascertained that a
colored boy named Henry Gregory was
attempting to fiy his kite on New Hous
ton street, between West Broad and
Montgomery streets, and that one or two
other boys were playing near 1 y, but not
with him. when Joseph Masters, the lad
who was killed, came out of his father s
house, a few feet away, and was looking
at the kite and the colored boy. The
latter told Joseph that he “need not look
at that kite so hard, for it was his and he
should not have it.”
Young Masters knew the colored boy,
who was iu the habit of flying kites in
that neighborhood, and said: “1 dent
want your kite; I can get as good a kite
as that,” or words to that effect.
The colored boy, it is said, retorted by
cursing young Masters, when the latter
cautioned him to be careful how he cursed
him. The colored boy then picked up a
brick and threw it at Masters. The
missile struck the I*ul a little back and
below the ear and lie fell with a scream to
the ground. Mrs. Masters ran to the front
of the house and saw her son prostrate
and apparently insensible near the edge of
the walk and about forty feet east of the
door, at the corner of the lot which forms
the limit of the inclosure to the residence
on that side. She ran to him, and the bov
cried, “Oh, mamma!” One or two ladies
and a gentleman ran up, and he was
taken into the house, where he gasped
and in about ten minutes after died.
Meanwhile physicians were sent for and
attempts made to restore him to con
seiousness. i)rs. Houstoun, Harden and
Corson, who wore in that part of the citv,
responded to the call for assistance,
but on their arrival at once saw that liie
was extinct. There was no apparent lrae
ture of the skull, but the opinion was that
congestion of the brain following the blow
caused the lad’s death. As soon as the
unfortunate boy fell to the ground after
being struck by the brick the colored boy
fled, but was pursued by a gentleman in a
buggv down Montgomery and into Jefler
son street, where he succeeded,
by running through a yard, in eluding the
vigilance of bis pursuer.
Coroner Sheftall was notified of the
occurrence about 7 o'clock, and called at
Mr. Masters’ residence soou after. lie
said to a Morning News reporter that
lie failed to discover a fracture of the
skull, and was of the opinion that the
missile struck young Masters on the tem
ple, but added, “the inner wall of the
cranium may be fractured. V thorough
examination of the case will be made at
the inquest.”
“Has the boy been arrested ?” asked the
reporter.
‘•1 went ti> his mother’s house on Jeffer
son street, north of Hunting
don street,” replied the Coro
ner. "but Gregory’s mother said
he had not been home, but that when lie
came she would bring him to me. 1 ex
pect he will lie arrested to-night. The
railroads are being watched, so that he
can not escape on any of the trains.”
“How old is the boy ?”
"I understand be is about 7 years old."
An inquest will be held at the residence
of Mr. Masters this morning at 10 o’clock.
THE FATAL BULLET.
A Negro Waiter ou the Steamer City of
Bridgeton Accidentally Shot through
the Head.
On Saturday night about 8 o’clock, as
the steamer City of Bridgeton was on her
way from this city bound for Feruandina,
going through Romney marsh, “Colonel”
Warren, a negro waiter on the steamer,
accidentally shot himself through the
head, the bail entering just above the
right eye and passing through the brain,
and coming out at the back ol the
head. The steamer kept on her course, but
was unable to procure medical assist
ance for the unfortunate man at Doboy.
At Brunswick the hospital physician
was summoned and pronounced the
wound fatal, and the negro died about 10
o’clock Sunday morning. The accident
occurred in the mess room in the presence
of Seymour Brown, chief cook, and
another colored boy, shortly after supper
had been served, under the following
circumstances, as related by Mr. Davis,
the steward of the boat, to a
Morning News reporter last night:
It appears that Warren was in
a playful mood, and was ensraged in con
versation with the chief cook, remarking
that he had got his ration of tobacco that
morning. The chief cook said he had re
ceived his, and walked away. At that m
-tant he heard Warren cry out, “Chief,"
followed by the report of a pistol. He
turned and saw Warren staggering
and blood issuing from a wound
over his right eye, and the pis
tol in his hand. The stewardess
immediately ran upstairs and informed
Mr. Davis, who went down below and
found Warren lying on the floor, perfectly
conscious, and spoke to him. Warren re
plied that he would never wait on him
any more: that he was going to die. Mr.
Davis asked him how it happened, and he
replied that he had shot himself, and that
it was an accident. In a playful fit he had
jerked the pistol out of his pocket,
and while flourishing it about the
muzzle pointing upwards it went off, the
hail striking him in his head.
The steamer on her way back touched
at Brunswick at about 1 o’clock yesterday
morning, and was detained about three
hours for the officers and witnesses of the
tragedv to make their affidavits in regard
to it before a Magistrate. She arrived at
her wharf last night about 7:30 o’clock.
AMUSEMENTS.
“The White Slave” Before a Large Au
dience Last Night—Fanny Davenport’s
“Fedora.”
“The White Slave,” Bartley Campbell’s
new play, was presented last night before
a large audience —nearly every seat in the
Theatre being filled. The play is a de
cided member of the “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”
and "Octoroon" school, but captured the
audience by storm. Evert - act was greet
ed with applause. The story follows the
vicissitudes of Lisa, the heroine, who be
lieves herself to be an Octoroon and slave,
in which capacity she falls to the owner
ship of a man who attempts her honor, but
who is resisted with scorn. Her resistance
and escape, and subsequent discovery
that she is not a slave, but the child ot
her former master’s daughter, form the
strong dramatic features of the play, in
which there is constant action and many
picturesque tableaux.
The sale of seats for “Fedora” will be
gin this morning. The prospects are that
the performance on Thursday evening
will be the theatrical event of the season
in Savannah. The New Orleans Times-
Democrat says of the production of the
plav in that city: "Seldom is it that an
audience is worked up to such a pitch of
excitement as was witnessed during the
performance of “Fedora.” In some of
the passages murmurs ran through the
house involuntarily drawn out by the sit
uations, and it was some minutes before
thev were subdued. With each act people
became more and more nervous. If the
one just closed was so startling, what
would the next be? Some seemed to fear
almost the rising of the curtain on some
scene beyond the powers of their endur
ance. and thus it was until the very close.
To sav that the interest was riveted would
be saving but little. The house was in a
spell " auil eoukl not throw tne morbid
infatuation off'. The applause was vocif
erous in every act, and the curtain had
to be run up several times iu respouse to
the appreciative demonstrations.

TRADE PROSPECTS.
What a Philadelphia Merchant Says
About the Business Outlook—A Fine
Trade Looked For In All Farts of the
Country.
Mr. Robert J. Black, representing the
well-known house of Messrs. Wanna
inaker & Brow'u, of Philadelphia, was in
the city yesterday. Mr. Black has for 1.
years been at the head of the agencies
which represent that firm in different
parts of the country, and a re
porter of the Morning News asked
him what he thought of the
business outlook throughout the
country. Mr, Black replied: “Every
thing indicates a fine run of trade in
nearly every line. Last season crops
were "comparatively poor in the South, as
well as in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
other States, and it is improbable that a
similar drought will follow this year. In
fact, judging from the orders that are be
ing received In Philadelphia and other
points, and from conversations which I
have had with merchants and business
men in the South, there will be a marked
increase in trade generally. That opin
ion is shared by Mr. Wannamaker,
and already arrangements have been
made to supplv the prospective demand
through last "season, every depariment
was worked down close in anticipation of
the dull season that has followed.”
Look at the condition of last season's
business in Pittsburg, Pa., where some of
the largest glass works and other manu
factories in the country are located. In
that city, out of a population of less than
one hundred thousand, thirty thousand
were idle, while the coal and iron mines
and works of Pennsylvania were stag
nant and thousands out of employment.
Now, work in all these branches is again
springing into life.”
"Will "not the floods in the Ohio valley
seriously injure trade?” asked the re
porter.
"They will indirectly affect many inter
ests lieyoud the lines of the water courses
where the floods have directly caused so
much destruction and suffering. There
was a time when that portion of the
United States comprised the greater por
tion of the productive territory of the
country, but the territory tributary to it
and the South, and the States west of the
Mississippi aud north of the < >hio have
become great producers. So that the ef
fects of the flood will tie but temporarily
felt except bv comparatively few people.”
“Do you "see any improvement in the
condition of the South?”
"All the way from Baltimore and
through the South the improvement seems
almost marvelous, especially during the
past two or three years, and notwith
standing the drought of last year. The
farms are well kept and the improvement
is unmistakable.”
A YOUNG RASCAL’S WORK.
How a Negro Lad Appropriated a
Drawer of Money at tlie Fire.
During the burning of the Coast Line
Railroad depot and car barns on Sunday
night Mr. W. E. Alexander, Assistant
Superintendent ot the road, took from a
desk in the office a drawer, in which there
was a number of valuable papers and
about $27 in bills and silver, and placed it
in charge of a colored boy named Proctor,
for him to guard for a few minutes until
Mr. Alexander should be able to take
care of it himself. Soon after taking
the drawer Proctor was called away
and turned the property over to another
colored lad named Peter Coleman until
his return. As soon as Proctor was out
of sight Coleman appropriated the con
tents of the drawer and lit out of the lo
cality. Yesterday Mr. Alexander ap
peared before Magistrate Waring Russell,
Jr., and a warrant was issued for Cole
man’s arrest aud placed in the
hands of Constable “Joe” Sim
mons. After keeping a lookout
for his man. he was finally spotted in the
crowd around the swinging horses in Tel
fair Place dressed in anew suit of clothes,
and rigged out with the proceeds of his
haul. He was taken in tow- by the officer,
but denied any knowledge of -the theft,
and even that he was at the fire
or knew that there was one, claiming
that he bought his clothes with money
that he found in the 6treet. His story was
not a plausible one, and he was commit
ted to jail to await trial in the City Court
to-day. .
Coleman is well known to the officers.
He belonged formerly in Griffin, but has
been in Savannah for some time. He was
employed fora while at Pavlo Pane’s fruit
store, "but lately has been a habitue of
Cooper Shop latie.
A Strange City
Is Savannah; antiquated in some things
and peculiarly original in others. Perhaps
in no other particular so unlike other
large cities as in the character of its
suburbs. The poorer classes of our com
munity have manifested the sagacity
usually seen among the rich in other
places in the matter of appropriating the
suburbs. It is usually the case that men
of means, appreciating the cheapness of
land and lower taxes (or no taxes at all,
as in our ease) secure to themselves
spacious grounds and build expensive
residences. When the march of time tills
up the gap intervening between them and
the older part of the city, and their land
becomes very valuable, then thej sell
and repeat the operation. This U re
versed in Savannah, but should not be.
The opportunity to do otherwise is given
in the beautiful tract of land now being
offered in lots by C. H. Porsett.-Arir.

ST. FATRICK’S DAY - .
Another Protest Against Its General
Observance.
Editor Morning Mews: 1 notice a dis
position on the part of the Irish societies
ot Savannah to encourage a general pa
rade on St. Patrick’s day. This practice
which in past years was nurtured to such
inflated spread-eagle proportions as to be
shamed into a discontinuance, I had hoped
was permanently stowed away with the
things of the past. As an Irishman may
I ask, what now is the object of its resur
rection ?
In Ireland, where it originated, the day
is celebrated as a religious holiday in liouor
of the illustrious apostle who converted
that nation to Christianity. It never was
intended, nor has it ever been celebrated
there in any other manner. It is only
outside of Ireland—notably in America—
that the day has been perverted from the
original intention—ostensibly for the free
dom of Ireland, but actually for political
partizan purposes.
Were Ireland to achieve her independ
ence bv parades, banquets and proces
sions, she would long ago have been as
free as the air of heaven, whereas, in
fact, the flag of her freedom is still as in
visible as the inhabitants of the planet
Saturn. On the contrary, these celebra
tions have been a loss and a stumbling
block to practical revolution. Let me es
timate the loss. Let us suppose on an
average 1,000,000 men to have turned out
on recurring St. Patrick s days over the
globe. Allow the cost to each man in loss
of time, banqueting and attendant para
phernalia to lie $5. it would aggregate
$5 000,000. Multiply this by 40, the num
ber of vears this foolish practice has
been indulged in, and it would sum up the
enormous amount of $200,000,000. Iwo
hundred million dollars frittered away m
vain, unprofitable objects which, were
a tithe of it available to-day for revolu
tionary purposes, Ireland, twenty-four
hours from date, would not be under
English domination.
I do not object to societies whose anni
versary St. Patrick’s day is to turning out
and celebrating the day for their recrea
tion or amusement. That is their privi
lege, but to give it any further significance
and encourage a general parade or cele
bration ostensibly in the interest of Ire
land, while that unfortunate country is
stiil floundering in the slough of despond,
in chains and slavery, I do emphatically
object. I hope these societies will recon
sider the question and forego St. Patrick’s
dav parades and jubilations until the
horoscope of motherland is more auspi
cious. (- •

Poisoned with Potash and Mercury
Is the tale of a large percentage of sick
people in the world; such a large number
in fact, that is is hard to tell whether
there are not as many victims to this
mineral poisoning as to diseases of the
blood and skin. , ... .
“I took potash,” said one, “and while it
partially dried up the eruption tempor
arily. it came near drying up my vitality
for all time. It drove the disease in my
svstem, only to break out again on some
other part of my body.” .
To such sufferers Swift's Specific is the
remedy which is worth more than all the
world besides. It drives out the poison of
blood taint, eliminates this mineral poi
son, and builds up the general health.

Madison, Fla., Feb. s.—ln the quiet little
village of ours the other day. Miss A. stepped
over to tlie house of a Justice ol the Peace and
was secretly married to Mr. B. Now, there
fore, when Mrs. the grandmother of the
said Miss A., discovered what kind of a job
had been put up on her, she, in company with
several of her neighbors, among whom were
Methodists, Presbyterians, etc. (Mrs. C. being
a Baptist), repaired to the house of tne saw
Justice of the Peace, when the following col
loquy ensued; Said Mrs. C„ the grandmother,
addressing herself to the said Justice of the
Peace, “I think such proceedings, sir, are per
fectly outrageous. In fact, sir, I think it is dis
graceful. and I don’t believe such a marriage
is valid.” Whereupon the said Justice cf the
Peace suggested that Dr. D., a Baptist minis
ter, be sent for to perform the ceremony
over again, and have the thing done ac
cording to law "No, indeed, says Mrs.
C., the grandmother, "I shall not have
Dr. D disgraced by beingmixed up iu anv
such a mess. If you want a minister to doitsend
for a Methodist or Presbyterian minister.
“A Methodist, indeed.” broke in Mrs. E ,
of the Methodist persuasion. "I wonder if
anything that would disgrace a Baptist
minister wouldn’t also disgrace a Methodist
minister? I shall have nothing more to do
with this affair. I shall go home. 1 shall get
away from here immediately” (and she got,.
•‘Well,” says Mrs. F ,of the Presbyterian

Mrs. Winslow’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

soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
lhe bowels, and is the best known remedy
