The red lantern was at once holsied to
the topof the staff ou the p..sl office budd
ing. At lt):30 p. in. it began to rain
slightly, and gradually increase t.
When the weather reporter of the News
groped up the dark slai-ito the signal
office an hour before midnight he found
the observer busy with a slate and pencil
figuring out the storm's probatde
track. The observer's desk was cov
ered with instruments, among which
were two aneroid holcsterie barome
ters, a thermometer, and a clock The
barometers indicated fair weather, but tne
observer pinned his laitb to tne big mer
cury barometer which tianc* on the wail.
The long, slender thread of quicksilver ir.
the tube bad laden one-BfUtih of an inch
from 10 o’clock to 11, and it caused some
tmeasiness ou the part of the observer.
The cyclouio disturbance was believed
to be in the nelghborhoial of Key West,
where the barometer was quite low, 23.60.
It was plain enough that a storm was
coming up the coast. The barometer was
falling, and the rainstorm which struck
Jackson ville about noon, or betore.reaobed
{Savannah at 10:30 p. in. It was evidently
moving northeast at a rate of eighteen or
twenty utiles an hour. The delicate in
strument that m asu res the velocity of
tne wind kept clicking, recording a mile
every three minutes.
After the observer received the 11
c’clock bulletins, he thought that .Savan
nah might escape the heaviest of the blow.
The wires were down, however, at Key
West, and no report could be obtained
from that point. That fact of itself was
not at all encouraging, as it indicated
that a severe wind storm was moving over
South Florida. Low barometers prevailed
along the Oulf coast late at night and it
•was hoped hore that the cyclonic disturb
ance would give its attention to that part
of the country.
The rain had not liegun in
Charleston at 11 o’clock, but
the barometer was falling slowly. The
highest temperature in Savannah yester.
day was 6'.i.3 degs. and the lowest 67.3,
which brought out a few light overcoats.
The temperature throughout the United
Stab s raised very little during the day.
T he general range was trorn til to 74 degs,
although in Duluth, Minn., the mercury
fell to 46 degs. Key West in addition to
the cyclonic disturbance had a tempera
ture (86 degs.) which was much higher
than in the other Southern cities. The
indications for to-day are: Fair weather
in northern portions, lucai rains in south
ern portions, northeast to southeast
winds, aud slight change in temperature.
BILL BI’TLEK’H DRINK.
An Ogeecbee Jipgro Comet to Grief in a
Barroom.
Yesterday morning a negro named Wm.
Butler, who live* a few miles out on th
Ogeechoe road, casne into Savannah with H
sack containing 00 pounds of tallow siung
over Ids shoulder.
The market value of tallow was
6c. a pound, and Butler was on his
way to sell It. He went into a sa
loon near the market and, depositiug the
nack on the floor, called for a drink of
water. While refreahiag himselt another
negro, named Ciltford C. Anderson,
who doubtless appreciated the slick way
In which tallow could be converted into
money, picked up the sack and walked
leisurely otf. Butler's drink was a oold
one for a cool day, and when be turned
around and missed the sack and its con
tents he exijerienced a sensation akin to
a chill down his back. Anderson sold the
tallow to a dealer near the market, but
before be got safely out of the way Con
stable ■ lone*, from Magistrate Thomas ,1.
Sheftall’s court, had him In bis grip. He
was identified and committed to jail to
await trial.

! Tlie Perpetrator of tbs Tattnall Street
Jtobbery Bun Down.
| The perpetrator ol Friday afternoon s
robbery at Charlton and Tattnall streets,
an account of which was given in the
News yesterday, was tun down in the
forenoon yester lay by Officer Wetherhorn.
The detective to. A the case on l’riday
night. The thisf.be learned, had before
entering the house endeavored to persuade
a small white boy *■. leap tut fence in the
rear of the premises and try the door, but
the boy re: tsed to have anything to do
w ith the job.
Neighbors who saw the tfciei at the
time and who saw aim climb over the
fence gave a good d> sorl[ tmn of bis ap
pearance. The detective proceeded wth
this clti > to run the rascal down. The
articles stolen included a pair
of gold bracelets, a necklace
and i chet, a gentleman's watih
ciiHin, lady’s gold watch, gentleman’s
s.lv r watch, scarf pin, solid gold finger
ring with a setting ot brilliants, aud a
$lO Will. The ring hail been sold bv the
thief sometime during the morning to an
other negro, who, it seemed, was acting
for hitu- This agent, so to speak, also had
in bis possess!.m the two watches, but
none of the other property.
The detective in this way concluded
that the thiet was In tin city and pre a
bly in Vamacraw. He disguised nirase.’
and started into that portion of the city
■in a stroll. Near the corner of Farm and
I’ine streets, he recognized, from the de
scription previously given, a cost black
negro, of medium height, named Jee
Berrien. Tne fellow uad taken a unnk or
• * many, at, I I . - l
the dude order in his personal make tip.
was, for tne time being, cutting a swell.
He w ore an old coat, buthi.se -es, pants,
v. -t and black felt hat, were all new.
When arrested he was first inclined to
play the role of an Injured innocent, and
ts-umed tfie air of dignity as.alled.
N* ariy all the missing articles taken from
Howard’s rooms were found in Berrien’s
pockets, showing conclusively that he
was tile man the officer was looking for.
li -was taken before Magistrate Waring
Bussell, Jr., and committed to jail to
await trin] on the charge of burglary.
The arrest was made early In the day
and was creditable to Officer Wether
horn’. anility for detective work. When
Berrien was at the Magistrate’s office he
maintained a studied reticenoe, and dog
gedly refused to disclose the name of the
negroes to whom be had given the
watches, and they have not yet been re
covered. There were also iound on Ber
rien two keys, one of which when tried
opened the front door of the house where
Howard lived, while the other unlocked
the back door.
The total value of the stolen property
was about $175. Berrien during the
evening was identified as a negro who,
some months ago, was employed as driver
of one of Robert Coakley’s wood carts.
At that time he was traveling under
another name, and bearing that a warrant
for his arrest on some minor offense had
been issued, he left the city and remained
“incog” for some time, returning only a
few days ago.
THE HAKBOB CONVENTION.
November 35 Fixed as the Ilate Upon
Which it will be Held.
The movement in the interest of the pro;
posed Harbor Convention is now tbor
oughiy organized. November 25 has
been fixed upon by the Executive Com
mittee as the date upon which the Con
vention will be hell. The sub-commit
tees nearly all met yesterday and the or
ganization is now complete. The chair
men of tne various committees are as fol
lows:
Executive Commute— D. R. Thomas
Finance Committee— F. B. Bloodworth.
luvitation Committee Col. John
Screven.
Transportation Committee—C.U. Woods.
Entertainment Committee—Gen. It. H.
Anderson.
Reception and Information Committee
—Cel. J. L. Warren.
A meeting of the social committee on
representation, comprising the above
gentlemen, and the chairman of the gen
era! citizens’committee will tie held at
the office of li. M. Comer, Esq., at 4
o’olock to-morrow afternoon, when a
basis ol representation will prob
ably be agreed upon. As soon
as this is accomplished a
meeting of the general committee will
be called to receive and act upon the re
port. The sub-committees will get to
work at once aud as soon as the matter of
representation has been settled invita
tions will te sentont.
The movement is receiving a hearty en
dorsement. The Charleston flews and
Courier iu alluding to the proposed con
vention says it is timely and necessary,
and South Carolina will be glad to take
part in it. What can be accomplished by
concert ot actiou was shown by the
facility with which a special ap
propriation was passed by the
House of Representatives at the end of
the last session of Congress, although it
was unfortunately test in the Senate
through the complications there. The
publio works for the improvement of the
harbors on the South Atlantic coast have
no lob in them whatever. They arc not
schemes for deepening ditches of convert
ing muddy oreeks into big rivers, hut are
necessary and proper works for the gen
eral benefit, and as such can stand upon
their merits.

them, their heirs and assigns, “as long as
the sun shall shine, or the waters run in

scribed.
THE FIRST USURPER.
Mary Bosom worth's demand was sup
ported’by the Indians, who attempted to
awe the colonists by hostile demonstra
tions. but the firmness and wisdom oi
Capt. Noble Jones happily prevented the
effusion of blood and eventually -fettled
tne whole matter to tfie apparent satis
faction of all conoerned by the surrender
to Mary of St. Catharine’s island and the
execution of a release by berse.f aud her
husband to all the lunds in dispute, ex
cept this island. Accompanying mis wa*
an allowance of £3,oim) sterling, as the
historians state it, but the deed ol release
from Bosom worth and his wile expresses
it substantially us follows:
That Thomas Bosomworth has heretofore
mads certain ci*iuna iigainst the colony for
service* rend, red by hi. wife; tiiaiilie mut

islands of oeanaw an .i Sapclo, aud to tic

mopiy called and known by the name of the
Indian land.
This deed was executed April 11), 1760,
and on the 13th of June following a formal
grant was made to Mary Bosomworth. of
St. Catharine’s island.
Prior to these dues, on April 22, 1758,
the rulers of the Creek nation ceded to
the King of England all rlcht and title
to the lands reserved by the original
agreement entered into with Oglethorpe.
This deed, recently discovered by Isaac

The three rema ning stone statues of
the group of five, by Tilgner, to be placed
in front of the Telfair Academy of Arts
and Sciences arrived yesterday. The en.
tire group consists of heroic statues of
I’hidias, Raphael, Rembrandt, Rubens
and Michael Angelo. The two latter
were erected about a year ago, The group
was purchased iff Vienna by Mr. Brandt,
Director of the Academy, during his visit
to Europe aud 1. one „i' great beauty and
value. Tne pedestals were completed,
ready for the three remaining statues at
the time the first two wereerected. They
"ill not lie placed in position, however,
until the return of Mr. Brandt from the
North, about Nov. 1.
Work on the annox to the academy,
which was suspended last summer, will
i e resumed about < >:t. 18. Tne con
tractor, Mr. liiker, will arrive from New
York about that tin,, . About two mouths
will he required in w iden to complete the
building, which 1. now ready fur the

the architect iu charge of the work, as
sures the board >-f managers that every
thing will he completed in time for the
formal opening of ti.e academy by Feb. 12,
tne anniversary ut tne Georgia Historical
Society.
There yet remains a great deal to be
done in the way of arranging the collec
tion. Tne main building is already popu
lated, and the Director’s purchases are
still arriving. Over 40 .eases of statues
and casts, including many valuable and
beautiful works, are stored away and
have never been unpacked. Tne Direc
tor, upon his return, will give his entire
attenn in to opening and arranging the
vast collection.
The present architectural}? severe and
hard outline* of the main building—the
old Telfair mansion—compared with the
annex will be changed in a measure so as
to conform to the sty!-> of the new struc
ture. Nome alterat.mis and udditions will
be made to the para;,et of the old building,
and its present rather uni leasing contour
will be Drought nto harmony with
the annex, when the buildings are
complete they will be given a well-toned
yellow color, In c nloimity with the

Gen. G. M. eorrel, Chaitmau ct the
Biurd of Jlanag* .*. said yesterday that
he had the positive assurance of the
.irchitict that the academy would be com

THE SPECIAL LETTER SERVICE.
Its Operation on Sundays at the Dis
cretion of the Postmasters.
The Post Office Department has aent
out to l’ostmaatere the following instruc
tions in regard to the delivery of epeoial
delivery letters on Sunday:
“Upon subsequen' consideration it has
been deemed best to modify the previous
direction of the department so as not to
impose upon Postmaster* the duty to re
quire special delivery messengers to re
port on Sundav, n- r to keep their offices
open in any different manner on that day
from tvhat’is now provided by regulation.
Postmasters will be at liberty, however,
to deliver special delivery letters arriving
on Sundays, if th-ir business arrange
ments can be conveniently adapted.”
The original imtruo'ions required “let
t "s that bear special delivery stamps ar
riving at a special delivery office between
7 u. m. and midnight of every day, includ
ing Sundays, must be immediately de
livered. This appli s also to drop letters,
except as to Sunday delivery. Drop let
ters deposited on teat day need not be de
livered until next day.”
Postmaster Wilson’has not yet decided
what course to pursue in regard to the
special delivery on Sunday here, and will
be guid >d tc a great extent by the public
demand and sentiment.
Postal cards and all first class matter
bearing speciald livery stamp* are cotn
prebeiMh and in the privilege* of the special
delivery system. The question as to
whether third aud fourth ela.B matter is
to be included is now under consideration
by the Postmaster General.
Registered lett -rs for special delivery,
so far as relates to the taking of receipts,
should he delivered in conformity to the
registry regulations.

one of the greatest social reformers of the
world. Horn of bumble parents, be se
cured an education and was ordained a
priest iu toll. He was at once appointed
to a missionary charge in Cork, where his
zeal and earnestness quickly secured hint
an influence among both noh and poor.
While engaged iu his work as missionary
a temperance society was organized in
Cork about 183s aud Mathew be
came its president.
The heroic missionary threw himself
into the new movement, and so success
ful were his etli.rts that In a few months
fie obtained l.'iij,oot) converts iu Cork alone
to temperance principles. Determined
to diff use the benefits of the cause still
further he curmnenced a progress through
Ireland in watch he was everywhere lol
luvved by crowds. The greater part of the
island was traversed by Father Mathew,
aud ha also visited Loudon and other
towns in England.
Much of the success that attended his
peregrinations is doubtless to be ascribed
to that mysterious, sympathetic influence
by which wholeeommuuitiesuaveso otteu
been swayed. The good priest was hun
seif a serious sufferer by the results of
bia philanthropicinpou, A distillery
in the Soulu of Ireland belonging to
ids family, aud from which he derived a
hu'-e Income, was shut up in conseuuencs
of the dlsitsu of wbUky among tne lower
orders, occasioned by his preaching. His
servioes were at last recognized by the
State, ti nil a peusiou of SI3OO a year was
granted bint. He died on Deo. H, IH.'ui.
Asa true benefactor of btim.iutty Father
Mathew w ill ever bo regarded as one of
tin* most shiuing ornaments of the Uotnan
Catholic church.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The International Lesson for the Sec
ond Sunday in October.
The Internationa! Sunday school lesson
for to-day is on the Scriptural subject
“The Famine in Samaria;” 2 Kings vii
1-17. Tfle golden text Is “The things
which are impossible with men are possi
ble wttti God.” Luke xviii:27.
The time of the lessou is 885 B C. in Sa
maria. the capital of Israel, when Jehorara
was King of Israel and Beuhudad 11.
wa* King of Syria.
it was not long alter Ben-hadad’s failure
to capture Elisha at Dothan that he in
vaded Israel and laid siege to its capital,
Samaria. He was determined to add tne
kingdom of Israel to his Syrian domin
ions. How long the siege continued we
know not, but It appears as though
Jehoram submitted to this siege, being
unable to cope with Ben-hadad in the
field, under some assurance from Elisha
that the Lord would deliver the city. But
when, as a punishment to the people, the
famine in the city became so appalling
that mothers ate tboir babes, .fehoram
determines to put Elisha to death as tne
one who Is responsible for all their dis
tress by a deceptive promise. Fol
lowing the servant whom he has sent to
arrestorslay Elisha, he arrives at Elisha’s
abode and virtually says to hint- “Since
you led me to trust lh your Jehovah, all
this evil may be said to come from Him.
Why should I wait any louger for hint to
deliver the city? 1 might ( just as well
surrender as tor all in the city to starve
to death!” Elisha replies: “Just wait
one more dav, and see if relief docs not
comet” The prediction was literally verb
fled. The Syrian host was seized in the
night with a panic, and fled In disorder to
the fords of the Jordan. The people of
Sauiarla, entering their deserted camp,
found provision* in abundance, and ate
and drank to their heart’s content.
Tfie home readings for the week are as
follows- Monday, “The Famine In Ba
rnsrla.” 11. Kings vii., 1 17. Tuesday,
“The Horrors of Famine,” 11. Kings vi.,
24-33. Wednesday, “Famine in Egypt,”

Prickly Ath, Poke Itoot and Potas
sium— P. P. P.
This is not, a wonderful discovery, nor
Is it a hoodoo Indian remedy. It is acom
bination of the Fluid Extracts of Prickly
Ash, Poke Root, Sarsaparilla, and Stylliu
gia, with the iodide of Potassium added.
It has the formula on the bottle, and meets
the approval or physicians as being a
good alterative, or so-called “Blood Puri
fier.” It w ill not raise the dead, cure con
sumption. nor cancers, but exercises a
stimulating effect on the glandular sys
tem, and In this way promotes the process
of the elimination or “throwing off,” as it
is called, of impurities of the blood. Asa
tonic and general renovator for a broken
down system It has no equal, and as it Is
composed ot the fluid extracts of the best
known vegetable alteratives, and coutains
the lodide of Potassium, we claim that
it is the Best Blood Purifier on the mar
ket, Indian medicine men to the contrary
notwithstanding.
