8 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, No rain came, and when it was seen that the cloud was going aroutul tho sic uni to a tart was given.

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.

There is a most positive assur ance that it will be. Under the skillful Btage management uf Mr. J. C.

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. THROUGH TUB CITY. Dashes Here and There by the “New." Reporters. Meeting of Excelsior I,edge No. s, K. of I’., this evening.

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. 1 •,* I OntonMl. Col. It.

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.

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?

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.
