CLEMB’CE’S LAST RUN.
THE COIiONKirS INQUIRY AND
THE VERDICT.
The Inquest Held at Tybee at Mitlntglit
—Questioning How the Accident Oc
curred —Statement of Those Who Were
on the Train—Superintendent Wright's
Story.
It was 5 o’clock yesterday morning
when the St. Nicholas steamed up
to her wharf with the re
mains of the unfortunate James >•
Clemenee. It was midnight before Coro
ner Dixon was able to get a jury of Inquest •
on Tybee Island, the soeno of the acci- '
dent. The body had been moved before his
arrival to a house near by. The head was j
a horrible sight. The back of the skull
was broken, the temple cut open, and a
long, gaping wound extended from the j
edge of the hair diagonally across the
right side of the forehead.
After being duly sworn the jury began
taking evidence. Very few witnesses
could'be found. The jurors were taken
out to the spot where Clemenee was
picked tip. A car was pushed up the
■ trackuntil it stood beside the tree, against
which it iaeupposed the conductor struck.
Bv the dim light of a lantern the tree and
the ties and the car and the ground were
examined for some mark of blood.
The lantern flickered and smoked at
every gust of wind. Winged bugs and
insects flitted and hovered around the
flames. The stars, shedding over all a
dull, faint light, made a dismal, grue
some scene. The dozen men scanned
the tree closely, but no certain marks
were discovered on it tlmt indicated that
the man’s head crashed against its
trunk. The base of the tree is about
three feet from the track. It inclines
slightly in, and at. about the height of a |
car oends over the track.
B. 0. Wright, who a few days ago was j
engaged by the proprietor of the island ns
superintendent of the railroad, stood
on the platform and the steps
and leaned out as tar as he could. No one
oould see how the mao ever struck the
S. Brandt testified that he saw Clemenee
standing on the right side of the ear as It
backed down toward the Ocean House.
He saw him fall to the ground but did not
see bis head strike the tree.
B. C. Wright stated that at 6:35 p. m.
Conductor Clemenee suggested that the
train be run to the south end of the island.
When returning the witness stood on the
left side of the platform and the
deceased on the right side.
Witness was In the act of
entering the car when he saw Clemenee
fall. lie was under the impression that
the head of the deoeused struck the tree,
and thought he could swear to it. The
witness measured the distance between
the spot where the body was thrown and
the tree, and found it to be 13ieet ft inches.
The head was lying between two crossties
outside of the rail.
E. C. Wenz, the engineer, testified that
he saw the conductor fall. Clemenee had
been signalling him to back up,and also mo
tioning to the crowd to get outol the way.
He stopped the train as soon as he could
after the accident and went up to the in
jured man. Witness saw the deceased
holding on with his left band and leaning
out, but could not say what made him
tail.
The jury decided that the deceased was
killed by bis head striking against the
tree.
The body was taken to bis brother's
residence. "Montgomery anil Stone streets.
The funeral will take place this afternoon
at 4:30 o’clock.
DeKalb Lodge of Odd Fellows, of which
the deceased was a member, will attend
the burial service at Bonaventure,
CRDIKINU TO THK SOUTH’AUD.
The Savannah Yacht Club Fleet at Sea,
The sharp, ringing crack of the flagship
“Mamie's'’ gun was the signal that
started the Savannah Yacht Club’s fleet
on its summer oruise from Montgomery
yesterday. Scarcely had the thin wreatli
ol smoke disappeared before Capt. Corn
well had throwu the canvas of the
“Rachel Miles" to the breeze. Catch
ing her mainsail lull of wind,
she quickly turned on her heel
and was the first away. Commodore
Hone stood on the deck of the “Mamie" as
she followed with jib, loresatl aud main
sail spread. Capt. Kinsey's “Etta"
bugged her stem with lualnsuil flying,
and the “Naomi" and storeship “Alda”
dose behind.
Capt. Deroero was entertaining hi
guests when the signal gun was fired,
and conscious of the speed of the “Jennie
8.” 'he allowed the others to get quite a
lead Itefore lie more leisurely got
under way. The wind was southeast
and light, and the fleet hail to make short
tacks to get ahead. The white canvas
and graceful models made a pretty
sight as they skimmed lightly and swiftly
out of view, for the breeze seemed to blow
fresher after they got under way.
All of the starters are sloop-rigged, ex
wept the more pretentious “Mamie,”
which can boast of both a foresail aud
mainsail.
When the train from Savannah arrived
at 11:30 all were riding at anchor except
the “Jennie 8.” and “Naomi.” They
were in sight, however, ami soon came
up past the revenue cutter “George S.
Boutwell.” The “Jeunie 8„” with the
wind almost fair after her, glided under
the bow of the flag ship, and Fleet
Captain Detuere saluted the Commodore.
As she made the turn, down went the
lee rail under the water and up went the
Windward until those on shore could
almost see the paint on her keel. The
bull circle was done as gracefully as the
sweep of a gull.
The train took out quite a party. These
were soon on tsiaril the different eialt,
and each Captain was rowed over to the
flagship and reported to Commodore
Hone.
A (lark rain cloud was visible in the
wont anil it wus doomed Item to delay the
start until the threatened Storm blew
, over, t'upt. Ooinler had stretched an
awning over the “Minnie’s” deck, and
the Commodore diil the honors, assisted
by Mr. J. 44. Kinney, who was appointed
commissariat. The roof of tin-eat in was
Utilized as a temporary buffet, and tho
fragrant mint found several admirers,

DR MIXUAU.’S WORK.
He Will Visit BsTSnnah Some Time in
October.
Dr. L. W. Munhall, the celebrated re
vivalist whom the Nkws announced yes
terday would visit Savannah, will proba
bly be here about the middle of October.
Rev. T. T. Christian, pastor of Trinity
j Church, Rev. H. 1\ Myers, pastor of the
, Now Houston Street Church, and Ilev.
! Richard Webb,of the Seamen’s Bethel, who
were appointed at a recent meeting of the
clergy of Savannah as a committee to con
fur with Dr. Munhall, have had a lengthy
correspondence with him in regard to bis
proposed visit here.
Mr. Myers who was in Atlanta last
week hail a personal interview with him,
in the course of which I>r. Munhall
stated that he would come to Savannah
if it was the unanimous wish of the clergy
that he should, and if he could be assured
of the co-operation of all the evangelical
churches. He was given this assurance,
and replied that he would come in Octo
ber.
Dr. Munhall is State Secretary of the j
Young Men's* Christian Association in In- j
diana. He is required to devote six
months of tho year to work in his State in
the interests of the association. At the
close of the meetings in Atlanta he will i
probably return to Indianapolis and take ,

time up to his. coming here.
A meeting of the clergy will bo held !
next week to receive the report of the
committee apn>ointed to confer with l>r. j
Munhall and UV make such arrangements '
as are necessary for his coming. It will

churches will abandon their Sunday even
ing and week day services, and will
hold the regul.u Sunday morning ser
vices during the progress of the meetings.
"CHIP' RKDJIOKD."
Mr. James Neill*, s New Play at the The
atre Tli ursilay Night.
The Fords held J i full rehearsal of Mr.
Neill’s new play, “-Chip Redmond,” at the
theatre last night,. Its presentation on
Thursday is await!'d by the public with a
good deal of interest, not only because
it will be by V.ho Fords, but be
cause it is writtt n by a Ford,'and its
scenes and char;Mvters are familiar to
everyone who kno",vh anything about the
mountain country >f Georgia.
The few who were privileged to
witness the rehearsal last night plain
ly saw in the play the elements
of a success if it is i iroperlv put upon the
stage. There is a most positive assur
ance that it will be. Under the skillful
Btage management uf Mr. J. C. Shaw,
who has given time and attention to all
the various and minntu details, which go
so largely towards t.ho successful make
up of the scenes and characters, and the
carelul training of Mr. Neill himself,
with uu excellent oast ol the best amateur
and professional talent,*it can hardly fail
to be a success.
The sale ol tickets by the
members of the association and
wherever they have placed is large. Tho
reserved sc.it diagram wilt open at Davis
Bros.’ at. 0 o'clock this morning. There
being no extra charge for reserved seats,
and a large number of tickets having
already Been sold, there will doubtless be
a rush as soon: as the diagram is opened.
A lull dress rohewrsal of the play will be
held to-night asiJ the final rehearsal to
morrow night.
THE TELEGRAPH HATES.
No Advance In Turin's Yet, Although
t.iHikml For.
The rumor from Macon of an ad
vance in Western Union telegraph
rates created something of astir yester
day in business rdre. ies here. Manager
Dillon says that he'bits received no notice
of an advance, and th at there has been
none. Manager Friend, of the Macon
oiliep, has sent, out circulars denying the
rumor of an advance the. re. The fact that
the tariff is yet where it. i ihs been all along
is gratifying to business men, who
read with anxiety yesterday of ai. in
crease. Wiille none bus yet been an
nounced a change back '.to old rates is
looked lor at almost anv i ime, and it is
pretty generally believed th at the existing
low tariff will not continue a great while
longer.
The recent changes in the Southern
Telegraph Company’s arrangements, and
the fact that it has entered into a con
tract with the Mutual ITi’iou, which
is one of the Gould tines, have
given rise to the rumor that tin >re is some
thing in the arrangement mime than ap
pears on the surface, and that while the
Southern will in name continue to be a
competitor for the Western Umon'B busi
ness. it will in reality be operated indi
rectly as one of its own linos. Ln conse
quence of this an advance in Western
Union rates is looked for.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1885.
THE TELFAIR HOSPITAL.
SOME CHANGES Til RE MADE IN
THE BUILDING.
The Institution to be Formally Opened
In October—How it will be Earnisbed
—A Splendid Monument to the Mem
orjr of its Fournier.
The handsome structure recently erect
ed at the corner of New Houston and
Drayton streets, and known as the Telfair
Hospital lor Females, will be completely
furnished in a few days, but will not be
formally opened for the reception of pa
tients until Oct. 1, there being a great
deal of work to be done in one way and
another, especially at the front of the
structure and about the grounds, under
the supervision ot tho executors ot the
will ot Miss Telfair, before the institution
will be devoted to the noble purposes for
which it was intended.
When the building was completed by
the contractors a few weeks ago, it was
decided that the twb flights of iron
stairway leading to the main en
trance at the front should lie
replaced by stone stairways, each of two
flights, leading from the pavement to the
front portico. The stone for this approach
is of Alabama limestone, and was de
livered at the hospital last Saturday.
Each piece Is about six feet in length and
about one foot square, with the exposed
angles rouuded, and the surface which is
intended to be exposed to view hand
somely polished.
The supporting work upon which the
stairway will rest will be of brick, and is
in process of erection. This work was
begun a fewdays ago and will, it is antici
pated, be completed in about ten days.
When the pieces which are to form the
"superstructure shall have been placed in
position, the propriety ot substituting the
stone for the iron work will bo apparent,
as harmonizing with other architectural
features of the building.
The furniture for the hospital arrived a !
day or two ago from New York. Much
of it was manufactured by order ot the!
superintendent, who went to New York j
about two months ago, and alter making j
an inspection of the leading infirmaries
and hospitals at the North
made such selections and designs
as were deemed fittest for
the institution, regard being not only had
for the requirements of the inmates, but
for the climate as well as tor the wear
and tear. A great deal of it was stored in
some of the lower rooms of the hospital
yesterday, and will be assorted and dis
tributed in a few days.
Among the articles on the inventory are
beds, muttresses, stands, tables, chairs,
etc., for thirty patients. Nearly all the
wood work of the hospital furniture is of
ash, bearing a hard oil finish, and being
neatly carved and put together with a
great deal of nicety. ‘ The pieces not only
have a bright and cheerful look, the effect
ot which cannot be effaced for a long
time, but they seem to have been made to
last, and at the same time to
subserve the interest and comfort
of those whose infirmities may lead them
to snare the ministrations and comforts
provided by the munificence of the bene
factress, after whom the hospital has been
named.
There are two bedroom sets on the list,
one of ash and the other of cherry, which
will lie placed in the apartments occupied
by the matron and housekeeper. All the
befi frumes intended for the use of
patients are of Iron of fanciful design,
painted in red and orna
mented in gold. The pattern
ot the iron frame is wholly unlike that
which generally is exhibited in the ordi
nary iron bedstead, with flat cotton-tie
iron mattresses, and the heavier frame
work of the bed painted green. The mal
- ofthese bedsareof woven wire,upon
which is a hair mattress, in two sections,
about eight mopes thick, with a bolster of
ban and a pillow of the best quality of
feathers. The iteds are somewhat high
and arc supplied with extra framework
at the head by which the body may be
elevated to a sitting position tor conveni
ence, either when eating or when a change
of position may be needed, the patient
being too sick herself to move.
There are Irom four to six of th°se beds
in a room. By the side of the bed is a
small stand about 20 inches (square oil
top, resting on four feat, between which
are inclosed two shelves, the latter hid
troni view as the visitor enters the room.
But the other three sides of the stand
are open lor the convenience of the ‘pa
tient. A number of broad, open-armed,
inviting rocking and other chairs tare
ranged about the room, and here and there
a wooden sofa formed ot highly polished
ash slats tempts the weiiry convales
cent. Disced on intervals are senetvis
to break the stronger currents of air or .to
partially shu t out a straggling ray of sun
light from tho person of the sick.
The description of the furnishing of on.o
room where the patients will be attended
answers for all. The room intended
for tho use of the managers
lias a black walnut table in the centre.
The top of the table is covered with'
crimson billiard cloth. A number of
highly polished straight-back walnut
chairs with cane seats, two exquisitely
polished walnut Iwiok cases, with illumi
nators of costly glass, u large drugget of a
subdued shade, revealing many fanciful
designs with flowers ami birds and vinos,
are among the movables which attract
the attention of the visitor. Tne fixtures,
including the chandeliers mid mantels,
several of the latter being in Tennessee
and other valuable marbles, are very
pretty.
The laundry, kitchen and bath rooms
are supplied with all the latest Improve
ments, and during the colder mouths of
the year the rooms may be healed either
by grate tiros or by beat transmitted
through registers from a mamuniUi
furnace located in the basement. The
work of fm iiishi ng the institution
was a tusk which commanded
the exercise of u great ileul of
tast", allied with a perfect familiarity
with its needs and practical winkings.
How well that task lias Uieii performed
by the superintendent is a question
which need not lie qucsiiouod, for an evi
dence of the fitness ot things is seen on
every hand.

WORK OF THE COURTS.
A Busy Day In Both City and Superior
Courts—The O’Heilly-Fflujjer Cane to
be Called To-Day.
At the meeting of the Superior Court
yesterday Judge Adams rendered his de
cision refusing anew trial in the cases
against J. A. and Patrick Callahan, each
of whom were convicted some time ago
on the charge of misdemeanor in keeping
open a tippling house ou the Sabbath day.
The arguments on the motion for new
trials were heard a few weeks ago and the
court reserved decision until yeßterday.
Tho negro James Harris, who wascom
rnitted to jail two or three days ago for
contempt of court in failing to respond to
the rule requiring him to pay alimony,
was discharged yesterday by order of the
court under n supercedeus order for 30
days, it having been shown that the pris
oner was seriously ill and tlmt to confine
him would probably jeopardize his life.
The court will meet this morning at 10
o’clock, when the grand jury will be
present. Among other business which is
assigned for a hearing is tho case of the
State against Janies O’lteillv, who Is
charged with the murder ot Emil Pfluger.
At a former trial of the prisoner the jury
failed to agree aud a mistrial was de
clared.
The City Court.
The regular quarterly and the monthly
criminal session of the City Court was held
yesterday. The first case called for trial
was that against a negro named Harrison
Carr, charged with malicious mischief.
Itappears that, early last December 8. B.
Morse lost a Ini 11 valued at $lO, and the
prisoner was arrested under the suspicion
of having killed it. At the trial the testi
mony against Carr was not deemed suffi
cient to criminate him, and the jury
tound him not guilty and he was dis
charged from custody.
A negro named Sonny Harris, about ten
days ago was arrested on a warrant
charging him with larceny from the house.
Tho evidence on the trial ol the case yes
terday showed that the prisoner stole 20
pounds of tobacco, valued at so, from
Charles Kohler. A jury trial having been
waived by the prisoner, lie was adjudged
guilty, and sentenced to six months, with
labor, on the chain gang.
On June 10 a negro named Shephard
Wilson was arrested for stealing $1 from
Ben Gails and was committed to jad t:>
await trial on t-be charge of larceny. The
prisoner was unable to introduce any evi
dence yesterday to show that the accusa
tion was not well founded, and on being
found guilty he was sentenced to six
months, with hard labor, on the chain
gang.
A negro named Ca-sar Mongin was
then tried for a misdemeanor, carrying
concealed weapons, and, on being found
guilty, was sentenced to pay a fine of $25
or to be imprisoned three months. He
paid the fine and was discharged from
custody.
On June 6 a negro named Willis Massie
went to the office of the Mutual Gas
Light Company and represented himself
to he Cooper Maxwell, an employe of the
company. The company owed Maxwell
sb, which amount Massie obtained and
set away with. As soon as
Maxwell learned that Massie had
obtained his wages a warrant 'was
sued out charging Massie with cheating
and swindling. The matter was tried in
the City Court yesterday, when Massie
was found guilty and sentenced to six
mouths with hard labor on the chain
gang-
A number of cases on the civil docket
were continued, when tho quarterly ses
sion adjourned until to-morrow morning
at 10 o’clock. The monthly session was
adjourned until next Monday.
MUNHAUL AND HIS CRITICS.
The Reverend Doctor’s Methods Unani
mously Indorsed.
Editor A/omiti;/ Nora: Upon my re
turn from Atlanta last. Saturday morning,
I was very much surprised to learn from
the telegraphic dispatches published in
the Nkws that Dr. Munhall’s methods
had created much unpleasantness and
adverse criticism in religious circles in
that city. As I was the bearer of au in
vitation from the clergy of Savannah to
Dr. Munhall to visit us here tor the pur
pose of holding union religious services, 1
thought it Important to investigate the
matter ami learn ail the facts, so that, if
the Doctor should come in response to the
invitation extended him, his evangelistic
efforts would not be preceded by prejudices
ami suspicions. If you will publish the
following extract from the Constitution of
Saturday touching the matter you will do
the cause ot truth and justice a service:
Friday night there was an unexpected scene
ut lbe tatieriiarAe, where over H. JOn people hail
gathered to attend the religious services con
ducted liy I>r. L. W Munhall, of Indiana. The
great choir had sang several hymus. and most
of the preliminaries that precede the sermon
had passed when Dr. Hawthorne, the pastor
of the First Baptist Church, entered and took
his seat on the platform beside Dr. Mimhall,
who was just about to begin his discourse.
l)r. Hawthorne approached him atnl said: “I
want to make a few remarks." Dr. Miniliall
said, “certainty.” Dr. Hawthorne’s tall form
rose above the groat throng, amt in his most
• impressive manner he said:
"An article has aopearetl containing st a te
rn cuts concerning ti c tabernacle services that
are iiojual. Incorrect and uuohrlsliau. That
article was written by a Baptist minister, but
1 .feel that 1 risk noliung in saying that it
rqnresetiis nobody but the author of it. I l>e
lulve Unit the Baptist people of Atlanta • un
did,mi its iMiclisritable spirit and language.
Tho Baptist who comical us the evangelist and
Ins a or* repudiates the faith and practice of
Ills ft tlicrs. The man chosen tiy tin* various
('lirisdhin congregations of tins city l<> conduct
those ,'Heeling* is a Christ him gentleman of tho
purest type, lie is a scholar nod an able aud
eloquent minister of Jesus Christ. Ills record
is i leiii l *. God knows him, noil good people
everywhere love him. The utterapt to bring
suspicion upon lilni deserves, and wdl receive
I lie ropre ballon of i Ins coriiin unity. Tin* pas
tor end toymen who are engaged in the work
arc men of common sense atnl honesty and
piety, 'll ey are neither dupes nor deceivers.
The peo|ic of Atlanta can afford in trust
them, aud do trust them Tim Gospel is
i re.ii'licd lu re from day to day, with great
fidelity, tentlerncss and force. Under li* iu
lluencc nn'D an t women of all cinema* profess
repentance U'Ward God and fnitii in Jesus
Christ. Is th.sa delusion? Is it a trick of the
devil- No! II is God’s work, and it will
stand to His glory when the man who hates
u dead and forgotten,"

An Opportunity.
We have a special reason for wishing to
reduce our stock. We have rented our
present 6ture to Messrs. J. Rosenheim A
Cos., and tt will be necessary for us to va
cate as soon as possible, so that needed
repairs may be made. Our new building
on corner Broughton and Bull streets is
rapidly going towards completion. It is
better to sellourstock of goods,oven with
out one cent of profit, than to carry them
over to our new building. Spring trade
is almost over, but judging from the im
mense crowds which continually pack our
stor one would hardly think so. On last
Saturday the crowd was so great that we
were Coin palled to close our doors. Such
a state of affairs, we think, never before
existed In this city. There is areason for
all this. People have actually awakened
to the fact that A. K. Altmayer A Cos. are
selling out, literally giving away goods—
some ol them below the cost ot produc
tion. If you miss the opportunity which
the house of A. R. Altmayer & Cos. are
now offering to purchase goods at a ridi
culous price, you will have no one but
yourself to thank for the needed expense
you will he put to when you do want them,
bou’t put off a day, but come to us at
once, as whole lines of goods are being
closed daily. Thousands of pairs of Shoes
to be sold in a few weeks, at prices which
would paralyze a shoemaker, utterly ruin
a manufacturer, and make the heart of
an ordinary retail shoe inun sick within.
The beauty of our shoes is that they em
brace not’only an immense number of
shoes, but an immense and well selected
assortment as well. It makes no differ
ence what kind of a shoe you want—•
fine French Kid, Button, or a twenty-five
cent Baby Shoe, a Lady’s Louis XV. heel
Slipper, or an Opera Slipper for less than
fifty cents, you will find them, and the j
whole range of shoes besides. Brices in :
our Lace department are always low, [
Every lady in Savannah knows that. But i
ju9tnow they are at a ridiculously low i
figure, and even our oldest customers will j
be astonished at the reduction we have
made. Our Hosiery department is cram-!
med full of bargains just. now. There are j
special lines ot goods for Ladies, Misses i
and Children and for Gentlemen. They
were selected especially ior this season,
and all marked at less t han cost of impor
tation. Here are some fine Ribbons, and
before we begin we want to say that they
are really fine goods. The al!-Silk is
genuine all-silk, and the Sash Ribbons are
of the finest quality. We say this because
the prices are so low, that it seems impos
sible to be all silk. A few weeks ago we
wouldn’t have believed it ourselves. Who
will match these matchless values in Em
broideries? Who can show assortments i
to compare? There is hardiy an article
named of which we cannot show many
different styles—more than any three re
tail stores combined. What is it you
want? We have it. Embroideries on
front centre counter. Take your choice.
Call early in the day and avoid the rush
later in the day.

Clothing has been sold this spring by
the “Famous” lower than ever before, for
the reason that times were hard, and we
came to the conclusion, considering the
times, that to make auy money on this
season’s stock was out ot me question,
and our low prices were the wonder of our
competitors. Now comes the clearing
time. The season’s prudtution muni he
sold, pro fit or no profit. We make it a
point not to carry "any goods over. The
goods are ours and paid for, aud if we
choose to sell them for one-half their value
it is nobody’s business—to save money ut
makinti your purchases is nil you rare for.
There is a great deal said and advertised,
but tne German says, '■’Dos papier ist
ijeduldiy" (the paper is patient). You
will never Hud the "Famous” advertise
anything hut. what we do. With all the
blowing done you will find that the "Fa
mous’’ will sell you now as good a suit
for $lO as others will charge you sls lor.

Savings Banks are a very good thing in
their way, and are of great value to those
who can make only small deposits. Our
last announcement had a very beneficial
effect. We have had a big tun on our
Clothing, and our customers found that
we gave better values than any savings
bank could do. Our schedule of low prices
still continues m force, with some
tempting aiiicudioenls added, i Mir meth
