THE FINANCIAL SCARE.
A FEW DEPOSITORS WITH
DRAW THEIR MONEY*.
A Slight Run on the Southern Rank by
Depositors of Small Sums—How the
Business Men View the Situation—
The Scenes About the Rank During
tha Excitement.
The financial rumors ot the past three
or four days apparently found a culmina
tion yesterday in Savannah, in a small
run on the Southern Bank of the State of
Georgia, made principally if not wholly
by about one hundred depositors of small
sums in the savings department. The
congregating of these depositors naturally
attracted the attention of passers by, and
soon the wildest kind of reports were cir
culated, and others who had deposits in
the bank proper rushed in to view the
situation. AA'nen it was seen who the
people were who were withdrawing their
deposits, and that the regular business of
the bank was being'done as usual, the ex
citement cooled in a measure, though the
greater part of the crowd lingered in
the immediate vicinity to amuse
themselves at the expense of those
who apparently had their all iu the bank,
and were determined to take it out.
A reporter of the Morning Nkvvs could
learn from no one the cause for the run
until late in the day, when it was reported
that a weekly publication edited by col
ored men had suggested the advisability
of drawing out dejiosits without delay.
The majority of those who were anxious
to obtain their money were colored
people. Every now’ and then a
white lady would make her ap
' pearance. Mrs. Hennessey, among
the number, said she wanted SSOO, all she
had in the bank, right away.
“Will not a smaller sum do you to-day?’’
“No, begorrah, I want it all. I’ve got
to buy a cow this afternoon.”
The paying teller thought that S3OO
ought to buy a good cow. and without
hesitating paid out the amount.
No larger sum was paid to any deposi
tor in the savings department during the
day. A colored man drew a similar
amount about 2 o’clock. Meanwhile thou
sands of dollars were being deposited by
businessmen, who thoroughly understood
the situation, and laughed at the idea of
taking out any more money than was
actually needed to pay off’ workmen
or settle other accounts of
the week. Aliout 12 o’clock the
express wagon delivered several thousand
dollars to the bank, but none of the monev
in this package was touched, the bank
having sufficient to meet all the demands
that were made upon it.
_ Several persons, male and female, came
in haste to withdraw their money, but
when they took a sober view of the mat
ter, and stopped to reflect a moment, went
away without asking for a dollar. The
officials ol the bank had received instruc
tions to pay the depositors their savings
promptly, and the consequence was that
-several gentlemen who called to make
deposits, in amouuts reaching SI,OOO and
upwards, had to return to their offices and
wait until Monday.
A number 01 amusing scenes hap
pened at the hank during the clay.
Two colored carpenters were elbow
ing their way Into the crowd. One
had just drawn his monev, and as lie
met the other he remarked: “Is you
gwine’ to draw your money outen dat
bank?” “Dunno,” says the other, “it’s so
nearly 2’clock; don't tink 1 can get uni
outen ilere by dat time. I tink I leF um
stood till to-morrow. I ain’t ’feared.”
The other replied: “You’s never see yo’
money no mo’. Dis is anudder Freed
man’s Bauk business, I tell yer.” A well
known citizen, who overheard the re
marks, stepped up and said:
‘‘Look here, my friend, when* this bank
fails the United States tails.” Both
darkeys looked rather dubious at this,
and the one who was too late to get his
money scratched his head and again mut
tered that he “wasn’t afeared.” The other
walked off, chuckling to himself on hav
ing his in his pocket.
Nobody seemed to know any reason for
tbe run, exeept the publication above
mentioned, and tbe uneasiness caused by
the .Tames failure in Atlanta.
FIRE AMONG THE MILLINERY.
Krouskofl"* Wholesale Establishment
Damaged to the Amount of Several
Thousand Dollars.
A few minutes after 11 o’clock last night
while patrolman Lee of the Burglar
Alarm- Telegraph Company was making
his rounds he discovered smoke issuing
from the skylight and escapes of the build
ing on the northwest corner of Whitaker
and Congress street lane, occupied by S.
Krouskoff as a wholesale millinery estab
lishment. Mr. Lee ran to signal
box No. 14 and turned in an
alarm. Just before the gong struck
several parties in the neighborhood
also discovered the smoke, and a cry of
fire started the number of people who
were in the streets, some doing their mar
keting, and an immense crowd quickly
! blocked up the streets surrounding the
l burning building.
The fire department was on time, but
befoie a stream could be placed on the fire
the entire roof was enveloped in flames,
and great volumes of smoke were issuing
from the skylights and windows on the
four sides of tlie building. The roof being
so much higher than that of the adjoining
structures, the tire was confined to it alone.
It seemed to spread rapidly, but when
the department got to work it was 60011
under control, and was extinguished in
less than an hour. There was slight
damage to the building, and while the
stock was considerably damaged on the
upper floor, where the fire was located,
that on the two lower floors was well pre
served.
Mr. Krouskoff expressed his thanks to
the firemen for 4lieir valiant efforts. He
had a stock of between $22,000 and $23,000,
on which there was SII,OOO insurance in
the following agencies: $2,500 in the Sun.
represented by E. T. Harden; SI,OOO with
C. A. Reitze, and about $7,500 in com
panies represented by C. G. Falligant.
The building belonged to the estate of
Richards, represented by It. R. Richards,
Esq..and is insured, but’to wbat extent or
in what agency could not be ascertained.
The damage to the building, it is said,
will approximate SI,OOO, and "the damage
to the stock could not be estimated, but .t
is thought to be proportionately light.
The origin of the fire is unknown. It
began in the skylight nearest Congress
street lane, and the oulv theory advanced
is that the roof being of tin and the
timber very dry it might have
ignited by combustion induced by the
extreme beat. There were no lights left
burning in the store when Mr. Krouskoff
closed up at 9 o’clock, nor was there any
smell ef smoke. Mr. Krouskoff was pre
paring for the fall business, which opens
in July, and bad a considerable quantity
of trimmed and straw goods on the Hook,
where the tire originated, which is wholly
destroyed.
THE LAST OF A NOTED VESSEL.
The Bark “Elliott Ritchie” Abandoned
at Sea—Her History in Time of Peace
and War.
“London', Mav 14.—IJark Elliot Ritchie.
Perkins, from Brunswick Mareh 22. for Bue
nos Avres, has been abandoned at sea water
logged, and crew landed at Pernambuco.”
Many who read the above in the marine
column of the Morning News yesterday,
will be surprised to learn that the vessel
is the last of the celebrated Federal
cruiser, Harriet Lane. She was named
after President Buchanan's niece, who
did the honors so gracefully at tbe White
House during that President’s term of
office. During the war she made
things lively for the blockade runners, of
which there were many on this and the
Gulf coast. She was a fast vessel under
both steam and sail. It will be remem
bered that she was captured off Galves
ton, over which there was great rejoicing.
She was carried into Havana as a prize
by Admiral Sernmes, her engines were
taken out and she was converted into
a sailing vessel, bark-rigged, and was one
of the fastest sailers afloat. She was an
old trader at this port, and a complete
history of her was published in the Morn
ing News several years ago. At the
time ot her abandonment she was on a
voyage from Brunswick, Ga., with a cargo
of lumber bound for Buenos Ayres.
Fashion Notes.
Ribbed silk jerseys are the latest form

Mushrooms, grasses and wheat-ears
share with flowers and feathers the place
of ornamenting hats and bonnets.
Gold, silver and silk gauzes, with raised
and shaded velvet figures, are the most
superb fabrics ever yet produced.
The full blouse bodice, with low neck

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 18, 1884.
HON. DAVESrORT JACKSON.
HD Death at the Residence of His
Father Yesterday Morning—The Ca
reer of a Brilliant Young Man—Action
of the Bar—The Funeral To-day,
The many friends of Hon. Davenport
Jackson were pained yesterday to learn
of his death, which occurred at the resi
dence of his father, Gen. Henry R. Jack
son. shortly after 10 o’clock in the morn
ing, after a protracted illness superin
duced by nervous dyspepsia.
Mr. Jackson was born in this city on
the 10th of April, 1830, and in 1868 gradu
ated at the University of Georgia. After
a short recreation 'from his classical
course he returned to the L*niversity and
entered the law department, whence he
graduated with honor, and on presenting
bis diploma was admitted to the bar at
Watkinsville in 1870. He located for the
practice ol his profession in Augusta, and
on the 18th of J anuary, 1872. was appointed
Solicitor General of the Augusta Circuit
by Governor James M. Smith. The nomi
nation was a surprise to Mr. Jackson, for
he had not sought the office. At the time
of the appointment he had not been three
years in practice as required by law. but
the General Assembly promptly passed a
statutory act. and the Senate "confirmed
the action of the Governor.
In 1873* Mr. Jackson was
re-elected Solicitor General for the term
ot four years, and held the office until
January, 1877, when he declined to lie a
candidate for another term. When first
appointed he was only 21 years of age,
and was one of the youngest men ever
appointed to that office in the State. But
his pleadings were models of terseness
and precision, and he proved himself to
be a match for the ablest members of the
bar.
1 In August, 1878, Mr. Jackson was nom
inated bv Judge Martin J. Crawford as
Trustee of the University of Georgia, and
was elected by a large majority. He had
an aversion to politics, but in 1880 he was
nominated by a mass meeting of bis fel
low-citizens of Richmond county for the
lower branch of the General Assembly,
and was elected without opposi
tion. He was placed on the Ju
diciary and the Railroad Committees
and was Chairman of the Committee on
the Public Library. While a member of
the House of Representatives he seldom
took part in the debates, but the brilliancy
of his mind and ig* qualifications as a
legislator were fully shown in the com
mittee room where "he was laborious and
indetatigable. Upon the close of the ses
sion Mr. Jackson made a visit to Eu
rope, partly on account of his health,
agd on his return devoted himself to his
profession, which jfroved very lucrative.
The deceased was unmarried,' but was of
an affectionate disposition, though some
what reserved in manner. When a per
son learned to know him well he was
found to be one of the firmest of friends
and one of tbe noblest of gentlemen. A
few months ago Mr. Jackson moved to
Savannah and became a member
of the Savannah bar, jiut his complaint
seemed to resist the skill of physicians,
anjl a tew weeks ago he visited upper
Georgia, hoping a change of scene and
atmosphere would improve his condition.
A few days ago, however, he returned to
bis home in this city, where, notwith
standing the best of attention, he quietly
bis last.
As soon as the intelligence of his death
was communicated to the bar, a meeting
was called of that body in the court house
yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock. Hon. P.
W. Meldrim moved that Hon. A. P.
Adams take the chair. Hon. Fleming
ITußignon was chosen Secretary.
On motion of Mf. S. B. Adams, a com
mittee of five was appointed with instruc
tions to retire and report an expression of
the sentiment of the meeting. Tbe fol
lowing named gentlemen were" appointed
and submitted the report below: 87 B.
Adams. W. 8. Basinger, P. W. Meldrim,
W. G. Charlton, A. R. Lawton, Jr.
Mr. Chairman and Gentleman of the Savan
nah. Bar: The committee appointed by you to
give expression to the sentiments of the bar
concerning the death of Davenport Jackson,
Esq., beg leave to retort as follows:
Although Mr. Jackson has been a member
of this bar only a few months, and his ill
health prevented the active pursuit of his pro
fession during this short period, he came to
us no stranger, either personally or profes
sionally, and he leaves us respected and ad
mired by all of us. He was born and reared
in this city, prepared here for the University,
took the degree of Bachelor of Arts and
Baehelor of Laws at the University
of Georgia, and then joined the bar
of Augusta. For more than ten .. ears he pur
sued an honorable and successful career at
the Augusta bar, and established there a rep
utation as a man and as a lawyer, of which
his family and friends may well feel proud.
Davenport Jackson was splendidly en
dowed. Of illustrious lineage, with a mind
both strong and brilliant, of the highest order
of physical and moral courage, tenacious of
purpose, ambitious, resolute, until his recent
ill health no prize seemed too high for his
reach, bo achievement in the line of his pro
fession too great. Young though he was when
disease arrested him in his onward career,
(he was only 34) he had established
all over the Stale a high reputation for ability
and character, and was in the very front rank
of the Georgians of his generation.
Some of us knew him intimately as a school
boy, as a college mate, and an every day as
sociate. Those who knew him in these "rela
tions knew and appreciated the pure gold of
his true and manly character; knew hint as a
firm and faithful friend, a gallant, knightly
gentlemaa.
We move, Mr. Chairman, the adoption of
the following resolutions:
1. In the death of Davenport Jackson, Esq.,
this bar recognizes a loss to the profession of
this city and .state of an able and an accom
plished' lawyer, a loss to our State of a de
voted and patriotic son, and to soeiety of a
useful and honored member.
2. That we tender to the family of the de
ceased the assurance of our sincere sympathy
in this their great bereavement, and direct
that the Beeretarv of this meeting send to the
father of Mr. Jackson a copy of this report.
3. That this bar attend the funeral in a
body-.
4. "That the Judges of the Superior and City
Courts be requested to direct that this report
be spread upon the minutesof their respective
courts, and that copies of this report he jur
nished the press of this city for publication.
5. B. Adams, Esq., R.' D. Walker, Jr.,
and Hon. P. W. Meldrim delivered brief
but appropriate addresses in tbe order
named, touching the life and character of
tbe deceased, when the report of the com
mittee was adopted.
It was moved and seconded that the
members of the bar assemble at the
court house this afternoon at half-past
four o’clock, and thence proceed in a body
to attend the obsequies from the resi
dence, northwest corner of Barnard and
Broad South streets.

THE ELECTRICAL GIRL.
Miss Lula Hurst Gives a Private Exhibi
tion of Her Singular Powers—What
She Can do and How She Does It—A
Nut for Skeptics and Scientists.
An audience of thirty prominent citi
zens gathered in the Pulaski House dining
mom yesterday to witness a private exhi
bition of the powers of Miss Lula Hurst,
tbe electrical girl who has excited so
much wonder. Among the audience were
several leading physicians, Dr. R. J.
Nunn, Dr. William Duncau, Dr. J. T.
McFarland, and Hon. A. P. Adams, Hon,
W. I>. Harden, Hon. Robert Falligant,
Hon. Thomas M. Norwood. Mayor Lester,
Capt. F. M. Hull, Hon. F. G. Dußignon,
Col. Marmaduke Hamilton, Major W. F.
Smytke, Major C. C. Hardwick and
a number of others, including
.the representatives of the Morn
ing News. The chairs were
arranged about the room in a circle,leaving
an open space in the centre. Miss Hurst,
accompanied by her father and mother
and Prof. Paul Atkinson, were introduced
by Manager Cohen. Mr. Hurst, before
beginning the test, announced some of the
marvelous powers which the young lady
is claimed to possess. Miss Hurst came
forward and took a position in the circle
by a chair upon which lay a harmless sun
umbrella.
She is a tall, well-formed brunette, with
rosy cheeks, davk eyes and chesnut curls.
Her history, that of an ingenuous, unpre
tending country girl, as obtained from her
father, may he summed up in short and
simple annals. She was born in Cedar
town. Polk county, not quite sixteen years
ago. At the age of six months she
walked and talked. She has always been
a gentle and amiable girl.and is modest to
the extent of extreme timidity at times.
She is a devout member of the Baptist
Church. Her father is a well-to-do farm
er. and her mother was a niece of Jesse
Wood, one of the most promipeut
Baptists in the State. She has known of
her power only six months, first being
conscious of it while lying in bed and feel
ing the bed move, afterward experiment
ing upon chairs and umbrellas. She has
the most perfect aversion, it is said, to
table rapping or to spiritualism—although
she excels all the necromancers in the
strength if not the subtletv of her power.
She preserves a calmness during her most
powerful manifestations, amounting
almost to want of animation at times.
A most singular fact is that she is unable
to carry an"umbrella or handle one even
without smashing it. Taking up the um
brella from the chair Manager Cohen re
quested its owner to step forward. The
Morning News representative cast an
eye over the situation, but seeing no alter
native stepped into the circle as skeptical
and unbelieving as possible, and spread
the light canopy over the young lady with
the warning from the Manager to
catch it when it began to move.
Miss Hurst took tbe umbrella in her
hand and held it a moment, when the ribs
began to bend and the parachute darted
off like a flash, but not before its owner
bad seized it. After several trials, in
which Miss Hurst merely placed her band
against the handle without grasping it, the
sunshade carried its owner around the
circle, and finally became limp and un
controllable and wound up over the head
of a gentleman shattered and useless.
The same test was tried by Capt. Hull,
who was hustled over the floor in every
direction. Col. Marmaduke Hamilton in
vested a second umbrella in the test,
which came to a more untimely end, be
ing broken into several pieces and the
covering torn in shreds.
Another test of the singular force
was made by Mayor, Lester who
took a billiard cue and, hold
ing it firmly in both hands, Miss
Hurst placed hers upon it, and, without
any apparent physical force, drove the
gentleman around the room in every
direction, great effort being required in
dodging the furniture.
Major C. C. Hardwick, a gen
tleman weighing about 160 jiounds, was
then seated in a chair in the centre ot the
open space. The young lady, with the
palms of her hands touching the chair,
lifted it up. and the strongest effort of
the occupant was unable to place it upon
the floor.
The same test was made by Capt. Robert
Falligant, who was lifted'from the floor
like a feather, the chair finally flying
across the room over a table iu the direc
tion of a large mirror, which it
would undoubtedly have shattered had
it not been caught by the pru
dent manager, who was on the
look out for any impending disaster. The
same test was repeated and in every case
baffled the efforts of those who attempted
to remain seated in the chair.
Among the numerous other tests, one of
the most convincing, was that ot holding
a chair in position against the body.
This was tried by Senator Norwood, Capt.
Falligant, Capt. Hull, and nearly all the
gentlemen present, and with all the tug
ging and straining to hold a grip upon
the chair upon which the young lady
simply laid her hand, without' grasping it
in any way, it was impossible for any
two or three to hold it, as it Rioyei}
and swayed about ending the gentle
man with in the final test the Morn-
INR News representative, with another
gentleman, threw their entire weight
upon the chair, while a third gentleman
aided them in attempting to put it to the
floor. Miss Hurst having only the palm
of her hand upon the back, but were un
able to resist the power exerted upon it.
The force which the young lady possess
es in so remarkable a degree, and which
she does not understand and claims to be
unable to control, is called by a number
of scientific gentlemen a psychic force—ati
emanation from the mind and a prolonga
tion of the will —something which has
never been analyzed, but which has noth
ing to do with the supernatural or so
called spirited.
In conversation with Miss Hurst the
Morning News representative asked:
“Does the effort tire you?”
“Not at all,” she replied.
“Do you feel any peculiar sensation?”
“None whatever.’’
“Does the liftingof the chair strain you
as lifting a heavy weight?”
“I feel no weight at all. It seems as if
somebody else was doing the lifting.”
“What do you think about it?”
“I don’t know anything about it.”
This is about all the information that
could be got out of the matter beyond the
visible tests.

Mr. Hartridge is a born humorist and
his friends who have heard him speak
know him as such; it will not be long be

true value and will indorse him to lecture
elsewhere, as worthy of crowded houses.
He is willing to devote himself to the
aid of the Guards Armory fund, and
whatever he makes will go to this worthy
object. This alone should insure him a
packed theatre on his opening night. Let
our people give him a fair showing and go
to hear him once; afterwards they will go
of their own accord.

THE ROY'AL TRAVELER.
Queen Pomare’a Impressions of the
Rocky Mountain*.
When Queen Pomare, of Tahiti, reached
I the Pacific shore again and was about to
sail for her native island, she unburdened
herself to a San Francisco Call-er. Of
| her trip through the Rocky Mountains she
j said:
“To begin with, the trip across the
j mountains and plains to Chicago was the
most wonderful experience in my life.
J The going on and on for day after day
through endless miles of scenery seemed
to overpower me with the idea of dis
tance. Everything with us is so in minia
ture. while everything here is so large
• and grand. Our scenery is lovely, yours
lis majestic. In all my life I will
I never forget my feeling of littleness
while passing under those great peaks,
i that looked like huge masses of frosted
silver; and then the plains, covered over
with snow, made me think all the time of
the great ocean frothed into foam by a
passing hurricane and just at that in
stant made solid bv some magic spell.
Strange to say, I did not feel the cold at
all, either then or at any other time. In
New Y*ork the fogs chilled me, and iu
Paris I used to shiver at times lor a few
minutes after leaving the dinner table for
the open air, but I was not pinched by
the cold, as I dreaded to be after living all
my life in a mild climate. They tell me
it would take at least two winters in your
frozen regions to thin out my warm island
blood. Were they joking with me, or is
it true? I think you Americans are noth
ing but flatterers.”
Was There Ever a Troy?
Fortnightly Review.
If an oral tradition has preserved the
fact of a real war, the Homeric poet might
have used it, but he might also have
altered or embellished it. The story, in
the shape in which we have it, must he
considered as a poetic creation. The
romance of Charlemagne embodies the
historical fact that an Emperor once ruled
Western Europe from the Eider to the
Ebro. It also departs from history in
sending Charlemagne on a crusade to
Jerusalem, because, when the romance
arose, a crusade belonged to the ideal of
chivalry. Analogy might suggest that an
Achaean Prince had once really held a
position like that of Agamemnon; also,
that some Greek expedition to th Troad
had occurred, whether this Achaean
Prince had himself borne part in it or not.
Both inferences are probable on other
grounds. Some memorable capture of a
town in the Troad had probably been
made by Greek warriors; beyond this we
cannot safely go. Myth could deal with
oral tradition as freelv as romance with
written history. Indeed, it would be
natural to expect that the liberties of
myth should be even bolder than those of
romance, sinee the control was less defin
ite. Pompeii was buried, and was redis
covered. The difference between the case
of Pompeii and the case of Troy is not
merely in the degree of the evidence, but
in the kind. That Pompeii (1) existed,
(2) existed there, are facts as well at
tested as any m history. For Troy all the
evidence is. in its nature, only mythical.
It depends on poetical fancy
around unwritten legend.
