The British steamer Wells City, while anchored oil pier 56, Thursday, was struck by a heavy held of ice coming down the river on the outgoing tide, which caused her to drag anchor. She had no steam on and was helpless. She drifted a mile and a half, until she ran broadside on the bow of the Morgan line steamer Lone Star, which was also at an chor in mid stream. The cut-water of the Lone Star struck the Wells City just abaft the engine room and cut a hole in her large enough to admit a two-horse truck, and she sank in twenty minutes. Those on board escaped in their own boats. The Lone Star had all she could do to save herself, but finally got up steam and ran behind a pier. She suf fered only a few hundred dollars’damage. The Wells City is a new vessel, valued at $150,000, and had a cargo valued at $140,000, both fully insured on the other side of the Atlantic. The Wells City’s masts and smoke-stack are visible above the water, opposite Christopher street. LOCKOUT AT PHILADELPHIA. Monday morning the Clothing Ex change of Philadelphia, Fa., carried out its threat and the Clothing manufactur ers composing that body closed the doors to cutters who are Knights of Labor. 1 tie latter are defiant, and are determined to fight the employers to the end. The lockout throws 1,000 cutters out of em ployment and fully ten times that num- Der of others who depend on them for employment. She Siwnnnnli ©ri'bunc. SAVANNAH GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 19.1887. A BIG FIRE IN MOBILE. Property Considerably Damaged—One Man Killed and Olliers Missing, A fire at Mobile, Ala., Monday morn ing destroyed the wholesale drug house of M. T. Sprague & Co., at No. 14 N. Water street. The building and stoek are a total loss. The loss on the build ing is $8,000; insured for $5,000, and on stock $20,000; insured for $12,000. Ad joining buildings were slightly damaged. A. Barnstein & Co’s stock of boots and shoes was damaged considerably by water, and is insured for $7,500. Dur ing the progress of the fire, the rear wall of the Sprague building fell upon the two-story brick next east and broke in the roof and walls, which fell upon a number of men engaged in removing a stock of liquor therefrom, belonging to James McDonnell. The heavy barrels and mass of brick which fell covered Mr. McDonnell and killed him instantly. i Mr. McDonnell was head of the firm of . wholesale grocers of that name doing a ! large business for a number of years on ! Commerce street. Frank McLarny, mem ■ her of the same firm, was seriously but 1 not fatally injured. Others are thought ' to be under the mass of brick. EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS. I A shock of earthquake about 4 o’clock , Sunday morning is reported from St. Louis, Springfield, Terre Haute and else ! where. It appears to have been very I generally felt throughout central and Southern Illinois, and Indiana, Dis patches from twenty different points give substantially the same account as to hour and duration of shocks. No damage done at any place as far as heard from. SOUTHERN ITEMS. NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS. SOUTH CAROLINA. The parties to the robbery of Mr. Elli son’s house, in Fairfield county, have been caught. The nurse and three of her I friends are the guilty ones. They arc all . in jail now, having been incarcerated I after a preliminary hearing before Trial I Justice Catheart. The money was recov- I cred. The jail is rapidly filling up as i court approaches, A company of twelve men from Illinois have leased for a term of years the gold mine of Frank Anderson, in the Willing ton neighborhood near Abbeville. The lease was entered into after a personal in spection sf the mine by two of the party. The company has sufficient capital to de velop the mine, and from all accounts they will get rich at the business. Mr. J. J.®Goodwin, who lived near Scranton, was killed in a very singular manner. He was hauling timber with two oxen, when one of the wheels of his wagon struck a stump. He went to the tongue of his wagon to guide it so as to let the wheel of the wagon clear the stump, and while thus engaged the oxen | started off, and, before he could get out of the way, the piece of timber ttiat he ; was hauling caught his leg between a log that was lying on the ground, aud liter ally peeled the flesh off to the bone. Medical aid was summoned as soon as possible, but before relief could be ren dered he bled to death. An inquest was held in Greenville on the body of Echo Kilgore, an old colored man from Arkansas. He was once a tan ner in the city, but went to Arkansas several years ago in the hope of bettering his condition. It appears from the evi dence before the coroner that on his way home he was thrown or fell from a train on the AVestern and Atlantic road near near Lily Pond, Ga., on Friday, the 14th of January. Who he reached Greenville he was in a semi-unconscious condition, and he never gave any explanation of his misfortune. It is thought there was foul play, and the case has been committed to Captain A. Blythe, who will investigate the matter. Robert Jones, colored, a convict from Richland county, was killed while work- i ing on the Columbia canal by the caving in of an embankment. Jones was , digging out the earth from the foot of the embankment and had dug in until he had made a cave in the bank. Suddenly the mass of earth above gave way and | descended upon the unfortunate work- | min, burying him alive. The other con victs immediately went to the rescue and dug away the earth as fast as possible, but when the man was found he was I dead, having been horribly crushed and \ mangled, besides having been under j ground a sufficient length of time to have j been suffocated to death. Twenty-two months ago Jones was convicted of bur glary and larceny and sentenced from | Richland county to five years in the pen itentiary. This is the second fatal acci dent of the kind which has occurred on the canal in the past six months. NORTH CAROLINA. A board of aidermen of Goldsboro held a special meeting last week and decided ' to take immediate steps towards giving Goldsboro an adequate system of water- ■ works. Rev. Wm. A. McDonald, who has served a pastor of Philadelphia Presby terian church, of Mecklenburg county, continuously for the past twenty-two years, died suddenly of heart disease, at the old Morris homestead. The news from the fishermen in the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds section is ' that the catch’ of fish is large. Herrings were never so abundant thus early in the season, and white shad of large size are ! being caught in great numbers. A bold robbery was committed on Bull creek, Madison county, on Tuesday night. The stores of John Bruce and .Merritt White were broken into and robbed of money and goods. Bruce recovered about SIOO worth of l.is goods, finding them hid under a rock cliff in the- moun- , tains about three miles distant fium the store. No clue to the thief. Henry Artis, colored, was recently sentenced to be hanged at Goldsboro, for the murder of bis stepdaughter. He is ' in a dreadful condition of mind. He is I to be hanged the first Friday in March. He says b<- was drunk at the time he beat out the girl's brains. He cries and screams ceaselessly, and it is thought may die of | grief aud fright before the day of execu tion. Don’t always search for the serious side of thing-. The man who has no eye or car for the ludicrous is un un happy mortal. Next to virtue, the fun in the world is what we caa least snare. THE COTTON REPORT. The Quality of the Staple is Reported Su perior. The Price of Seed is Low. The final report of the cotton crop for 1886 shows the average date of closing the picking season, the proportion of the crop marketed on the Ist of Feb ruary, the quality of the staple, price of seed, and the estimated product com pared with that of 1885. The close of picking is reported the same as last year in the Carolinas and Texas; one day earlier in Mississippi; two days later in Georgia and Louisiana: four in Tennessee and twenty-one in Ar kansas. The dates are: North Crrolina, December 2d; South Carolina, Novem ber 30th; Georgia, December Ist; Florida, November 27th; Alabama. De cember 2d; Mississippi, December 7th; Louisiana, December 12th; Texas, De cember 3d; Arkansas, December 15th, The late maturing of the crop extended the season slightly in a few' states. Only in Arkansas was the season lengthened by inability to pick the heavy harvest earlier. Up to February 1, 1885, about 5,500,- 000 bales had gone from the plantations. This would indicate a crop of about 6,- 400,000 bait's, a mere trifle above the November indications of the rate of yield. The proportion by states are as fol lows: North Carolina, 87; South Caro lina, 88; Georgia, 85; Florida, 83; Ala bama, 87; Mississippi, 84; Louisiana, 83; Texas, 80; Arkansas, 81; Tennessee, 83. The quality of the crop is super ior. Rarely, if ever, have the returns of cleanness and color combined with the length of staple, equaled these just re ceived. The price of seed is low. Complaint is made of combinations of oil millers to reduce the prices. Renters will sell at any price, sometimes as low as live or eight cents per bushel. The best planters refuse to sell at ruling rates. The average in Mississippi and Louis iana is ten cents, eleven in Arkansas, twelve in Texas and Tennessee, thirteen in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and sixteen in Florida. Feeders of cat tle and sheep jray the highest rates. The product is larger than last year in Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas and smaller in other states. The average result from a careful analysis of the present returns, is an aggregate less than two per cent lower than that of last year. WAS NOT HURT. A Y outh Niue Vcars of Age Walks off a More inir Train. On board the Panhandle fast train Thursday were Mrs. T. Andrews, of Newport, Ky., with four young children. On reaching Zenia al five o'clock she roused from a doze to find that her boy, Charley, nine years old, was missing. The train was searched without finding him. The mother was frantic with fear, for it was supposed he had fallen off. A locomotive was procured and the con ductor and a passenger boarded it to search for the boy. It was very dark, but a strong light was placed ou the en gine, and, moving slowly, the searchers looked carefully on both sides of the track, expecting to find a mangled body. But to their surprise, after going about eight miles, they found the child, with out a scratch or bruise, crouched in a fence corner, wailing for da',light. He could give no explanation, and is sup posed to have valked off the train in his sleep. The mother broke down when a telegram told her he was found and un hurt. A NEW VOLCANO IN RUSSIA. The inhabitants of Baku, the centre of the great Russian petroleum wells, have been much alarmed over a subterranean explosion, which shook houses and caused considerable damage. At the same time a volcano burst out at Lokbaian, t n miles distant from Baku. For two nights the volcano threw a column of fire and mud 300 feet high, illuminating the country for miles around. The mud emitted during the eruption already lies from seven to fourteen feet deep over a full square mile of territory. The Beginning of the End. The beginning of disease is a slight debility ord sorde- of som ■ of the vital organs, the stomach, the liver or the bowels usually. There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is troublesome, the skin grows ti.voy and un hea.thy looking, there are pains in the right ■■ <i •or t.hrou h the right shoulder blade. The climax is often an mt' r pr-etration of the physical energies, perhap-a fatal issue. But it the difficulty is m. t. in time with Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters, ,i h•» always effic.ive as a remedy, and it stoaid be resorted to at an early s age, there will be co rea-on to appre hend thu-e njur o riib-ejuent effects upon tiie system often entailed by ent r 1> cured <l-eases. Far bet er is it. also, to employ this afe remed al agent in fever and ague, and other malarial complain than quinine and other potent drugs, whi' h. even when they do prove ede< teal for a time, ruin th- stoma.h and impair the general health. i $1.25 Per Annum: 75 cents for Six Months; - 50 cents Three Months; Single Copies I 5 cents—ln Advance.
