A SOMNAMBULIST’.S HATH.
A White Woman While Asleep
Walks Oll'a Wharf Into ihe Hiver.
Shortly alter 9 o’clock Monday night
the attention of the watchman on board
Df the British bark Lombardian, lying at
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way hart, was attracted by tho cries of
someone in the water. On looking over
the side of the vessel he discovered a
w hite woman in the water clinging to the
spiling ot the dook. The watchman im
mediately lowered the ship’s bout and
rescued the woman from her
perilous position and assisted her
to the dook. She was in her night cloth
ing, and gave as a reason for being in that
dress that in a ht of somnambulism she had
got up out of bed and wandered down to
the wharf. Not kuowing where she was
going she walked overboard. Tho cold
water and the plunge awoke her and she
managed to catob hold of one of the spiles
projecting out from the wharf. She was
very much frightened by her bath and did
not give her name. She Was taken to her
home in the southeastern part of the city.
Her disappearance had just been dis
covered before she returned. She had
walked over hail a mile while asleep.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. JULY 28. 1886.
SAVANNAH WINS.
Heavy Hilling Snatches Victory
from the Nashvilies.
By hard and timely hitting Savannah
defeated Nashville yesterday in a game
which neither side played with the spirit
which they usually display. O’Day bold
the heavy bitting Tennesseans down won
derlully well, and received the excellent
support which can usually be depended
on Horn Gillen. Ihe outfield of Savanuati
was weakened by the necessity of putting
Arundel in centre, Tug being a notori
ous failure as a fielder despite
his great ability behind the plate, First
base was held down lor Nashville by the
800 pounds of Billy Taylor, whose re
marks for the benefit of the grand stands
kept tho spectators in roars of laughter,
i he men of both nines, however, were in
clined to carry their raillery a little too
lar to give the game its usual business
like aspect. O’Brien’s work in the box
was fairly good, and Heilman’s catching
was up to iiis usually excellent standard.
The Nashville players are popular wito
the spectators, and their good plays were
liberally applauded. The hame clubs
cross bats to day for the last time ol the
season in this city. Following Is the

WHERE HOT WAVES GO NOT.
Halo tirious, Picturesque Asheville
the Coming Hummer Resort.
The opening of the new line of road be
tween Spartanburg and Asheville has
put that famous North Carolina summer
resorf within twenty-three hours of Sa
vannah. The scenery tram Spartanburg
is especially picturesque. There are
many pretty resorts along the Asheville
branch, among them being Laurens uml
Greenwood.
A number of Savanuahians aro sum
mering in that section, and the Central is
receiving inquiries every day about tick
ets and schedule.
Regarding the temperature during the
spring and summer months it is stated
that during a period of eight years the
mercury but twice rose above BSdeg.,and
that ihe maximum temperature of St.
Paul, Minn., is from 12 to 15 deg. higher
than that of Asheville.
The claim is made that the climate is so
invigorating and tne air so pure that a
residence there of a lew months will
ritl the s\stem of malaria, and
some eases of pronounced dvspep
; sia have been cured bv its effects.
Asheville is 2,8;t9 feet above the sea, in a
charming valley, with a genial, soft, yet
bracing clinmle, in the midst of enchant
ing scenery. It has tour or live hotels
and uumeiotts boat ding houawe. at which
pleasant lodgings and surfundings may
be loultd.
Further information about the resort
can be obtained of General Traveling
Agent J. c. Shaw, at the Central railroad
ticket office. 20 Bull street.
A Fine New Heniilence.
Dr. A. O. Best is building a large frame
residence on tlie White Bluff road at the
City and Suburban railway crossing.
This is the first line residence that has
been built so far out, aud shows that the
growth of Savannah has no narrow
limits. The entire ridge for a uilleor two
south of tbe city along the White Bluff
road will, before many years, be dotted
with suburban residences, provided the
city does not tako too much for streets
aud fanes.

The Hoads Can't Agree.
Two weeks ago when the Queen and
Crescent and Louisville and Nashville
systems were engaged i/t a row at Chatta
nooga oyer the ore shipment from Bir
mingham to Cowan and South Pittsburg,
the managers of tho two lines held a con
ference and peace was declared. It now
leaks out, says the Chattanooga Times,
that tne restoration of peace was only
temporary and that the old trouble may
break out any day. There is the bitterest
rivalry between the two lines and the
Louisville and Nashville people recently
showed the intensity of their hatred by
sending in their passes over the Queen
and Crescent route. They soon realized
what a mistake they had made and
were glad when their passes were re
turned. The hone of contention between
the two lines is principally Southern busi
ness, and while the trouble generally has
its inception in Birmingham, this city has
been the real battle ground. During the
trouble two weeks since tbe Southern
Railway and Staamship Association was
in session in Washington, and it was
thought some means would he devised
there to settle all differences permanently,
after a compromise had been effected, but
nothing was done. Tbe Queen and Cres
cent route will probably withdraw from
the Ohio river Southern pool, and this
will certainly precipitate trouble, as the
Louisville and Nashville people would
pursue the same course, and the two lines
would then be free to fight it out. Both,
doubtless, have the inclination.

Points that May Save a Doctor’s Bill
and Much Trouble.
from Ball'* Journal of Health.
The foundation of three fourths of all
the cases of consumption is laid before
the age of 25 years; in women, during
their teens.
The hereditary element is not of special
account as a cause of consumption, as
less than 25 per cent, of cases are clearly
of consumptive parentage.
Uue of the ruling causes of disease and
premature death in large cities is found
in that exhausting strain of tne menial
energies in the struggle for subsistence —
a death race for bread.
insanity runs tn families, but, as in the
case of family likeness, it sometimes
overlaps a generation or more.
Personal resemblance entails like char
acteristics of mind and disposition.
A current of the purest air from the
poles for half an hour on a person sleep
ing, sitting still, or overheated, is a thou
sandfoid more destructive of health and
fatal to life than the noisomeness ot a
crowded room or vehicle, or tne stench ot
a pig-sty for thrice the time.
To exercise in weariness, increased by
every step, is not only not beneficial, it is
useless and worse than useless; it is
positively destructive.
As no good traveler, after having fed
his horse, renews his journey in a trot,
hut with a slow walk, grad lullv Increas
ing his pace, so iu getting up l i address
an assembly lor a continued eilort the
first lew sentences should be uttered in a
low, slow tone, gradually intensified,
otherwise the voice will break down in a
very few minutes, with coughing or
hoarseness.
A growing inability to sleep in sickness
is ominous of a fatal resuit; in apparent
bealtn it indicates tne failure of the mind
and madness; so, on the other hand, in
disease or dementia, a very slight im
provement in the sleeping should be
hailed as the harbinger of restoration.
No one can possibly sink if the head is
thrust entirely under w ater, and in this
position a novice can swim, as easily as
wulk, and get to shore readily by lifting
the head at intervals ior breath.
Intense thirst is sutlated by wading In
water, or by keeping the clothing satura
ted with water, even it it is taken from
the sea.
Water cannot satisfy the thirst which
attends cholera, dysentery,diurriura and
some otner forms of disease; in fact,
drmkiug cold water seems to increase
the thirst and induce other disagreeable
sensations; but this thirst will l>e per
fectly and pleasantly subdued by eating
a comparatively small amount of ice,
swallowing it in as large pieces as prac
ticable and as much as is wanted.
lullammations are more safely and far
more agreeably subdued oy the applica
tion of warm water than of cold.
Very excessive effort in a snort space
of time, as in running or jumping a rope,
etc., has repeatedly caused instant death
by apoplexy of the lungs, the exercise
sending the blond there faster than it can
be forwarded to the heart, and faster than
it can be purified by the more infrequent
breathing on such occasions.
No disease ever comes without a cause
or without a warning; hence endeavor to
think back for the cause, with a view to
avoid it In the future, and on the instant
of any unpleasant bodily sensation cease
eating until it has disappeared, at least
for twenty-four hours; still remaining,
consult a physician.
The more clothes a man wears, the more
bedclotblng he uses, the closer he keeps
his chamber, the closer he confines him
self to his house, the more readily will be
take cold, as the more a thrlltless youth
is helped the less able does he become to
help himself.
The Asphalt Pavement Question.
Editor Morning News'. I send you for
publication extract of a letter received
July 9, 1886, from Air. W. R. Warren,
senior partner of the Warren-Scharf As
phalt Company:
New York, July 9, 1886.
* * * In regard to future pavements
for Savannah, I hope that the Council
will pass tneir ordinances early in the
autumn, so that the Work can begin
promptly. Where broken stone has to be
brought from the North, where we are
frozen up for much of the year, is is best
that orders be given early. 1 hope the
pavement is giving entire satisfaction,
and see no reason why it should not. The
mixture seems to be excellent, and we
count the Savannah pavement amoug tne
best in use.
Thanking you again for the Interest you
have taken in this pavement matter, I re
main respectfully yours,
W. R. Warren.
It is very evident that Council at an
early date should declare what streets it
is willing to have paved under the provis
oes of the existing paving law.
Tlie asphalt company, it is now well
known,lost by forteit a considerable sum,
due to the difficulty of getting material to
Savaunah in the given time of their con
tract. It is reasonable, therefore, that
property holders should be notified so that
tiiey may get ready petitions for the pav
ing, and the contracts, if any, prepared
before the closing up of navigation at tbe
North.
Now, is it not wise, if Council or the
public desires that Congress, or a part or
all of Hull street, or a part of Liberty and
Jefferson streets be paved, that it should
say at once how much of this work can be
provided for—-whether little, orjmucb, or
none? The asphalt pavement is a success.
Nothing so admirable tiasever beeudevised
for any city so utterly behind the time in
its streets as “old tumble-down savan
nah,” as I heard it called b,y some North
ern people.
Council may as well make up its mind
that property holders cauuot pay for the
intersections of streets; and that if it
gi ants any petitions for Bull or Jefferson
streets by one block or two blocks, then
tuat this principle must run through all
petitions. In other words, if it makes an
other move to pave it will certainly grant
a pavement to Hull street by two blocks,
or from Johnson to Wright squares,
which mustexoludo all tbe intersections
ot this great street south of State. Is this
burden to exclude forever the paving of
parts ol Hull street to the south of State?
Have we not rights to the south of State
street?
Indeed, Council has excluded from the
Rroughton street bills all work done out
side ol the lineof Broughton street curbs,
and thus has cut tne bill down to a figure
less thnu that asked tor by the property
holders. This exclusion of work done for
the benefit of cross streets would make
the bill $6 46 per running foot of frontage.
The property holders have asked a reduc
tion to if;; 59 per running foot of frontage,
and yet it is the principle we wish tn
establish at once and would prefer that,
tlie street trouts should in every case lie
charged to tbe true owner—to wit: the
public. Inis would destroy all doubt,
and encourage the best city enterprise
ever devised for the comfort of our peo
ple. James J. Waring.
