DOCTOR IVY’S FATE.
lIFATH BY ACCIDENT OK
THItOI GH FOI L PJAY.
The Story of Dr. H. H. Ivy’s 111-Fortune
-For tMk of Patronage he Abandons
his Office in Savannah to Enter upon
an Itinerant’s Career—His Partnership
.Alliance—His Operations in Beaufort
and Port Royal—Doubts of his Friends
as to the Cause of his Death.
About a year ago a physician styling
himself Dr. H. K. Ivy came to savannah
from csir Covington, in Middle Georgia,
for the practice of his profession, and hung
out the modest sign “Dr. Ivy" from a
window, over the tobacco es
tablishment of Rieser £ stern
on Whitaker and Bryan streets.
After a'’ out a month the sign disappeared,
and tbe doctor, failing to secure the pa
tronage he had anticipated, retired for a
time from practice. Later on he decided
to travel, but was unable to cairv out the
plan be had in mind without a partner.
II fiuallv succeeded in securing what
h. believed’ to be tbe right sort of man for
the business, and on the loth of Deeem
>,-r. in company with Tim Flood, his part
u r and associate, he started for Beaufort.
-. C.. whence he proposed to make a
tour of tbe seaboard towns of
that state and Georgia and Florida,
vending hi- medicines and establishing a
practice. Tnis was the last seen of Dr.
Ivy in savannah, although his wife, who
remained^n the city with her sister living
on J ri<-s street, heard from him occasion
ally through letters to herself and differ
ent members of the familv. Yes
terday morning she received a
note from Flood's mother, a widow
woman living on West Broad street, with
in a few t.locks of Mrs. Ivy. saying that
her son Tom had written asking her to
give Mrs. Ivy a clipping which she en
closed purporting to lie from the Sea
htawl Xews, of Beaufort, and conveying
the intelligence of her husband's death.
The date. “March 2,” was written with
a pencil upon the margin of the slip,
otherwise there was nothing to indicate
the time of the occurrence. It read as
follows:
•n la.-t Sunday while the sloop yacht
••Vanlic,” formerly of Beaufort, but latterly
of Hilton Head, was crossing C'alaboga sound
on hr way to Savannah she was caught in a
gale and capsized. The occupant* were thrown
out and drowned, including Dr. Ivy. whom
4>ur citizens will remember as the Indian
medicine man who visited Beaufort not long
ago.
Mrs. Ivy was deeply distressed by tbe
ad news, and immediately made efforts
to learn from her informant the circum
stances of the calamity, which she might
have heard through correspondence with
her son, but was unable to secure any
further information. Telegrams were
sent to Beaufort and letters were dis
patched to Portßoyal and H ilton Head ask
ing for detailed particulars of the disaster
and the names of the parties on board the
vessel. No reply to the telegrams had
been received last night. A Morsxxg
News reporter called upon Mrs. Ivy,
i whose statements corroborated the re
| j>orts from other sources. The last letter
she received from her husband was dated
: at Port Royal. February is. in which he
' stated that he was "about to return
; home, and she “might look for
' him when he came,” making the
' ex.i :t date of his return indefinite. From
previous letters she had learned that the
partnership between her husband and
Flood had been dissolved, and he was
conducting his business alone, some
ilifii -tilty had arisen between them, caus
; lug the dissolution, and the doctor stated
that he had l>een illy used by his partner.
The nature of the difficulty was
unknown. Mrs. Ivy is in doubt whether
her husband was on board the vessel
as reported, and is inclined to think that
the newpaper clipping does not contain
I the true facts of his' disappearance or
death. Inquiries at the custom house
, and along the river failed to develop any
positive information of the loss of tbe
vesse l. With this doubt both she and her
friends are determined louse every means
1 to learn, if possible, whether her husband
was lost in the sound, or whether be is yet
j living or has been toullv de.alt witb, as
she claims to have reasons to firmly be
-1 lieve.
The missing man claimed to have been
a . iduxteof the Augusta Medical Col
j leg -. He was about 30 years old. of me
dium build, about 5 feet 8 inches in
j height, w ith dark hair, moustache and
whiskers. His upper lip and nose were
I disfigured by a noticeable deformity. In
i event no trace of his whereabouts is dis
[ covered, and it is proven that he was on
i lioard the vessel which capsized in the
sound, his friends will give him up as
! lost. They are, however, loth to believe
i that this is the case.
THE GERM AN VOLUNTEERS.
Corporal Kuck Wins the Gold Medal at
the Company’s Prize Drill Last Night
—Private Schroeder the Next Best Man.
The annual company prize drill of the
German Volunteers took place at Ger
mania Hall last night. The affair was
strictly private, only a few invited guests,
including a number of ladies, being ad
mitted to the hall. At 8:30 o’clock the
company “fell in," and was ordered to a
position’ on the east side of the hall,
opposite the seats arranged on
the opposite side for tbe spectators and
invited guests. Thirty-five men turned
out and the line presented a tine appear
ance drawn up in full dress for the drill.
The Judges, Mjijor John Schwartz, ex-
Uaptain Henry filun and ex-Captaiu M.
ilelinken. took a position facing the com
pany. At a quarter to nine o’clock the
first order was given and tor an hour and
a half the company was put
through a severe and ’ trying drill.
At the sixth interval, after a long and
exacting test, Corporal H. F. Kuck, and
Privates John F. Schroeder and John
Reideman stood alone on the floor. The
excitement in the contest was increasing
up to this time, and when the trio was
called to attention the result was awaited
with breathless interest. Private Reide
man was the first to retire, and was a
moment later followed by Private Schroe
der. leaving Corporal Kuck alone in the
field and the winner of the contest. The
result was the signal for applause, but
l>efore any demonstration could lie made
Capt. Dei st ordered the company to “fall
in." The winners were then ordered to
the front and centre, and tbe prizes, a
handsome gold medal to the winner
and a silver medal to the “next best
man.” were presented by Capt. Henry Blun
in a neat speech, in which be compliment
ed the company upon their fine appear
ance and the officers upon the manner in
which they had conducted the drill.
“Break ranks." was the next order, and
in a minute the floor was cleared and the
orchestra took its place, and the members
of the company and their guests were
soon engaged in the merry dance. The
remainder of the evening was spent so
elallv. and to those who were fortunate in
being present the occasion was thorough
ly enjoyable.
INTENT TO MURDER
The Result of a South Broad Street
Affray.
Georgia Nixon, the proprietress of a
house of ill fame on South Broad street,
was arrested yesterday charged with as
sault with intent to murder, and gave bail
before Magistrate Waring Russell, Jr.,
for her appearance for examination. A
night nr two ago a disturbance occurred
on the premises of the woman, in which
she and a white woman named Jane Col
lins and a barkeeper named Joe Taylor
were involved. In the affray the woman
Collins was seriously and dangerously
cut in her head and neck with a heavy
bottle, with which she was struck. She
immediately appeared before Magistrate
Russell, and swore out warrants for the
arrest of tbe proprietress of the house for
assault with intent to murder, and
against Taylor for assault and battery.
She alleged that the Injury which she re
ceived was at the hands of the former.
As soon as the warrants were served
Georgia Nixon went before Magistrate
Molina and swore out a warrant for tbe
arrest oi the woman Collins, who was
committed to jail. The prisoner’s inju
ries were of such a nature that the Soli
citor General deemed it necessary for her'
to be released and placed under treat
ment. She was accordingly removed and
given the proper medical attention. The
case will come up for examination as soon
a the prisoner’s condition will permit.

INDUSTRIAL RELIEF SOCIETY.
Statement from the President—An Ap
peal for Aid In Behalf of the Home for
the Friendless.
The Industrial Relief Society, through j
its President, Mrs. Mary Wilbur, invites
the attention of the community to a state- j
meet of interesting facts relative to its j
organization and condition. The Presi- j
dent says:
We expected to borrow sL*>oo to com- ,
plete the purchase of the building occu- |
pied as the Home for the Friendless, but
kind friends have come forward and in
expressed sympathy with us in our efforts
necessary to maintain the charity, and
earrv the heavv burden of debt, have
made the following offers of aid upon con
dition that we secure the remainder:
So. I—Conditionally offers JSCO
No. 2—To be one of five for like amount . 100
No 3—To be one of ten for like amount 50
No. 4—Donation. 50
No. s—Donation 50
No. 6—Donation 25
No. 7—Donation 20
■No. B—Donation
Total SBOO
Balance to be secured 700
Encouraged by these offers, the society
has appointed a committee to solicit the
remainder. The calls upon fbe society
are increasing. Since the annual meet
ing the family at the Home has increased
to 19, of which number 15 are children.
We have applications forotiiers whom we
expect to receive at once. We would take
this opportunity to express our thanks for
favors already received.
The managers also regret that in col
lecting subscriptions tne annoyance of
being twice called upon was felt by some
subscribers. This embarrassing mistake
was due to a re-arrangement of lists in
order more equally to distribute the col-
S lections. They offer their apology and
ask that they be not deemed unscrupulous
in obtaining incans, but appeal to the
public to be sympathetic and charitable,
and suffer them not to loce this tide of
good will for lack ol the help which all
who are able can give.
CONSCIENCE STRICKEN.
S9OO Returned to an Insurance Com
pany.
The subjoined letter from Rt. Rev. 11.
P. Xothrop, Catholic Bishop if Charles
ton. in which was enclosed a check for
S9OO, was received yesterday by Mr. w .
H. Daniel, agent of the Liverpool and
Loudon and Globe Insurance Company
in this citv. The money, it appears, was
sent to the Bishop by some unknown
party for losses incurred some years
since, and for which the conscience
stricken sender considers himself respon
sible, and therefore makes restitution.
A* the Bishop requests that the matter
lie made public in Savannah, it would ap
lear that the money must have been
sent from this city. It is probably the
only case on record where an insurance
company has had money returned to it:

due the company for losses incurred some
years ago and for which. I presume, the send
er considers himself in conscience responsible,
ami therefore makes restitution through me.
Will you be so kind as to have the matter
made an item of in the savannah papers, so

the money ha.- been paid by ine v Very re

Loan and Trust Company Loans.
Savannah, March 27. Editor Morning
Xetrs: In to-day's number of your paper
appears an editorial —“Loaning Money on
Georgia Farms” —in which occur state
ments so different from those I have heard
that I cannot help making my statement.
In conversation with a planter of one of
the adjoining counties the matter of rais
ing money for planting purposes was dis
cussed. and 1 asked why he did not get a
loan from one of the corporations who
offer their money so freely to the country
at low rates of interest;' At this he
smiled, and asked if I knew how those
loans were made: and as I acknowledged
1 did not. he said that when a loan is made
20 per cent, is taken off t he face of it—that
is 4 per cent, for five years. The bor
rower then pays 4 per cent, per an
num on the loan for five years, and
cannot redeem his property within that
time, however able and desirous he may
lie to do so. Besides this, he has to
bear ail expenses of examining titles,
recording, etc. According to this, a man
who gives a mortgage on his farm, say
for SI,OOO. would receive only SBOO cash
(less expenses), and would have to pay
S4O per annum for five years, at the ex
piration of which time only he would be
allowed to pay up his mortgage.
According to this statement, it would
seem as if the old style 8 per cent. Georgia
mortgage would be cheaper in the end
than these new 4 per cent, loans. The
best way for our farmers to do, how
ever. is not to borrow at all, but to plant
more provision crops and less cotton.

Good Mechanical Work.
Probably in no city in the South is there
a better set of mechanics than live in
Savannah. It has been said by persons
qualified to know that better work is done
and demanded upon buildings in Savan
nah than anywhere in the South. One of
the most carefully constructed houses,
in the way of well selected material and
faithful and durable work, is that built
by day labor ( not contract), just a year
ago, on the south side of Bolton street,
between Jefferson and Montgomery. All
of the work is first-class in character.
Tbe windows are large and numerous, the
ceilings on both stories unusually high,
and the hall large. Even such details as
the stairs, wainscoting, cornices—all
consideration for neatness of finish, ease
ami comfort, have been sedulously at
tended to. The lot measures full 60x108,
and besides the space taken up by ser
vant's room, wood and coal houses, ample
room is left for vegetable and flower
gardens, which give to the premises a
home-like appearance. This is a desirable
home, and will be offered at auction by C.
H. Dorsett on next Tuesday at the Court
House.— Adv.

1 liose Houses on West Broad.
The houses referred to are on AVest
Broad aud Roberts streets, and were
among the first brick houses built in that
vicinity. Nearly every one who built in
that section have used wood because
cheaper. These houses, consequently,
are of a better class than the greater
portion of residences in the neighborhood.
Less risk from fire is incurred by this sort
of building in a strictly wo*den section.
All the houses, except one, have water,
and they are all so arranged as to com
fortably accommodate one good sized or
two small families. Being on leased
ground, the expenses of taxes are re
duced to the minimum, as the valuation
of the improvements is low on that ac
count. The terms of the lease are sueh
that there can never be a forfeiture of the
improvements, except for absolute re
fusal to pay only ground rent. The lease
is virtually perpetual, as provisions for
its renewal are made in the instrument.
The annual ground rent is comparatively
low. Get all the facts from C. U. Dorsett,
who sells these houses on next Tuesday.

Charleston’s Cavalry Tilt.
Charlestonians are anticipating with
great pleasure the inter-state tilt and
sabre contest, which will take place in
that citv on April 17th under the auspices
of tbe Charleston Light Dragoons. The
Xews and Courier, in announcing tiie pro
gramme, says: “The contest will take
place between squads consisting of four
picked men from the leading cavalry com
panies of south Carolina. Georgia aud the
neighboring States. There will be a grand
cavalry parade through the principal
streets of Charleston to the Washington
race course. The competitive tilt will
commence punctually at 10 o'clock a. in.
at the course. The prizes will consist of
a handsome piece of silver, worth SIOO, or
; its equivalent in money, to the successful
! company, and a gold medal to each mem
! tier of the winning squail. This promises
to be the most brilliant display ot horse
manship and the most exciting sabre con
test ever witnessed in the South.
The following entries for this unique con
test Gave already been made: Eutaw

Hussars, Savannah, Ga.; Edisto Mounted
Riflemen. Edisto Island, S. C.; Hacood

I One of the prizes is a pair of very hand

will be presented to the winning squad.
Military Notes —A New Armory.
It is good policy for a man to own his
home and place of business. It is equally
wise for a society or military organiza
tion to have its own local habitation or
meeting place. Needing, as these so
cieties do, a place of peculiar size, con
struction an I location, they should not lie
subject to the whim and caprices of un
sympathising landlords. Savannah is
pretty proud of her military. They give
evidence of more energy and military
spirit than anywhere else in the south.
Notwithstanding these facts, but one
militarv organization owns an armory.
We trust that the Guards will have one
ere lonir. Tbe longer the securement of a
good site f not “sG’bt,” as the printer had
it a few days ago) is deferred the more
difficult are they to lie found, and tiie
more expensive they become. A proper
place that micht have been purchased
three vears ago for $5,000 is worth double
that amount now. It then becomes the
duty of any company contemplating such
action to secure the lot now, while it can
lie had. No better location could be ob
tained than a trust lot such as the one
fronting on Telfair Place, which C. H.
Dorsett will sell on next Tuesday at the
Court House.—A dr.

Nation of incorporating the sweet gum
with the tea of the mullein plant of the
! old fields —which many of our readers
will remember our grandmothers making
under tne direction of the old family phy
-1 sician for croup, whooping cough and
i colds—it is no wonder that "Taylor’s

urged me to still greater efforts this sea

quality for double the money, I am
ready to “step down and out.” It will
prove of service to call and examine my

Two friends (we will call them John

suits on. John bought his at the
“Famous” and was very much pleased.
Dick bought bis elsewhere, and not being
a judge of clothing thought his suit Just
as good. The Famous says, put the two
suits to the test, wait three months, and
we wager that the “ Famous” suit, for less
money, wear better and look better thau
any clothes bought elsewhere. We have
often seeu it and know it for a fact. Our
goods are all manufactured by us for our
trade; nothing is too good for our trade,
and there is as much difference between
our clothing and the ready-made goods

THE INN OF THE BRASS BULL,
A Kitchen Hearth on Which Fire has
Been Kept Alive a Century.
The old inn known as the “Brass Bull,”
at Thompson, says the Hartford (Conn.)
Courant, was burned last week. It was
the oldest house in Windhajn county, a
large, wood-colored edifice of the “lean
to” period, which greatly antedated the
Revolution, having been built in 1710.
Over the door was a miniature bull of old
tashioned hammered brass, which was
also swallowed up in the flames.
In the days of the then great New
York. Hartford and Boston turnpike it
was a change station for the stage-horses,
and when the stage route vanished at the
approach of the railroads It feebly held its
own as a summer resort. It had little
diamond window-panes, wide fireplaces,
and outer doors cut in halves, alter the
original New England style, which suffer
ed the lower part of the door to be used as
a breastwork against the onslaught of In
dians. From its situation. u the apex of
Washington Heights, a charming bird’s
eve view in the different States ot Massa
chusetts, Rhode Island, and even across
Connecticut to the blue line made on the
southern horizon by Long Island, in New
York State, w as to be gained.
The most famous of local traditions
have sprung from this old house. It was
cutup in all sorts and numbers of odd
shaped rooms, and the fire on the kitchen
hearth burned for more than one hundred
yeaje. In fact, this was the source of the
old building’s ruin, for the continual
heating of the stone work in the great
chimney chaired the oaken floor timber
above, until finally the flames burst out
and cousumed the structure. For 152
yeras it was used as a hostelry, and it was
the occasion of Gen. Washington’s so
journ at the “Brass Bull” that led the
portly proprietor to dub the hill whereon
it stood Washington Heights.
Light and Air
Are desideratums in this climate. We
would all be healthier and happier if
every house was upon a full Ist, and un
obstructed on either of its four sides,
with plenty of windows and a large yard.
These advantages are worth a great deal
to a family, but, unfortunately, ours is a
city of tenement houses, and it is rarely
the’case that a single house can be ob
tained. One of unquestioned value as to
healthy and pleasant location, conve
nience and comfort —that on Jones and
Whitaker streets—will be offered for 6ale
at the Court House on next Tuesday.—

The Umnett House, Savannah.
The wonder of those who go to tbe Har
nett House, in Savannah, is that so excel
lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can be offered to the public at such mini
mum rates. Without exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as that ol
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sum of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—
