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 of this popular jacket.

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.

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. A HEALTHY CITY. A Retnarkabl* Showing of tha City’* Mortuary. The Health Officer reports that there were but 17 deaths in the city last week, of which 18 were colored and only 4 white. This is a remarkable showing, and is an evidence of the healthy condition of the citv. Over one-half of the entire number of deaths were of children under two year old.

Mr. Hartridge is a brilliant man. This lecture is a gem, and the public will go away from the theatre fully compensated for the money spent in securing tickets. We should encourage home talent. Sa vannah is now proud of Mr. Harris, a humorist known all over this country, formerly assistant editor of the Morning Mr. Hartridge is a born humorist and his friends who have heard him speak know him as such; it will not be long be fore our community will recognize his 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.

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. The finest body linen is embroidered, more or less, and made exquisite with Valenciennes or costly imitation laces.
