The house committee on military af fairs has completed its bill to provide for the national defense and it will be pre sented to the house as soon as the report can be prepared. It appropriates .$2,500,000 for the pur chase of rough finished forgings for steel rifled, high power guns for the coast de fense. of eight, ten and twelve-inch cali bre; $680,000 for the erection and equip ment of a factory for finishing the afore said heavy guns; $500,00V for the con struction of twelve-inch rifled mortars; $600,000 for torpedo boats, torpedoes and submarine mines; $250,000 for gun i carriages; $250,000 for breech-loading steel field guns and their equipment. An advisory board to have supervision over the disbursement of those amounts, is 1 created, of which the lieutenant general of the army is ex-officio president. This , bill was prepared by Chairman Bragg, ' and is acceptable to all m unbers of the committee, although from the discussion ; which followed its presentation, it ap- I peared that several members favored ' more liberal appropriation than is carried 1 by the bill. The speaker will be con- j suited by members of the committee as to the best methods of getting ihe bill | before the house, but it is believed that a chance to secure action can be found only I in the last six suspension days, when ‘ two-thirds vote will be necessary. Arran all, the railroads do not care half to much about the long haul and the short haul they do about making a big haul. SAVANNAH GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY •>«. 1887.

A ind Stores of Great Magnitude Liv<- Lost. A tremendous thunder storm passed < ovei the north and west on Friday morn ing doing much damage to persons ami I property. Trains were Lifted from the tracks and dashed to pieces. A Denver. Col., special says: ‘“ln this city many i buildings were uproofed, smoke stacks. | chimney s, and ten graph and telephone ; poles leveled with the ground, and plate I glass windows broken. The damage w ill reach several thousand dollars Outside of Denver, the casualties reported r.re | considerably greater than in the city. On . the Denver and Rio Grande railway, four I miles north of Colorado Springs, every ‘ coach of the north bound Salt Lake city I express, consisting of tv. o sleeping cius, ■ two passenger coaches and a b‘g gage and wail car, was blown from • the track, and the mail car and its con tents were burned. Had the accident , happened when the train was on a high embankment, a short distance further, the loss of life would have been great. Fortunately, however, the ground was perfectly level and no one was injured A passenger train of three coaches, >n I the Denver and South Park road was | lifted from the track by a terrific blast and hurled down an embankment. One passenger had his leg broken and several others were badly bruised. Near Como, i on the same road, the Leadville express was blown over a bridge and nearly all i of the passengers and train men were severely injured and the coaches were badly wrecked. All the incoming trains on various roads were from Live to ten hours late on account of the storm.” At. Rochester New York the wind blew down Court street bridge and a young man and young lady went down with lh< wreck and were lost, Others are misMng but the exact number of lives lost cannot yet be ascertained. Trains on most all lines North West and South of Minneapolis were aban doned. A BOSTON RIOT. Street Car Strikers Mcbbina the Police of the aioderu Athene i A serious riot occurred in East Cam bridge Sunday afternoon as a result of the recent street car tie up. Shortly after noon a large crowd of strikers and their sympathizers gathered on Main street, Cambridgedort, and as various cars of the Cambridge line pas.-cd con ductors and drivers were hooted as “scabs.” At 1:30 p. m. there was a great mob at the junction of the Webster street line with that on Main street, and as a car turned into Webster avenue the mob began hurling bricks and tones at the car and its occupants. By the time the car got through the crowd it was a complete wreck. Each succeeding car was similarly treated until no less than live cars had been badly damaged. Then tho police were telephoned for, and with in twenty minutes a large force of officers arrived on the scene. The mob had by this time been worked up to a high de gree of excitement, and when the officers attempted to disperse the crowd they met with determined resistance. Bricks and stones were thrown at tho police and many of the officers were wounded. They then charged the mob with drawn revolvers, and it instantly scattmedin all directions About a dozen of the strikers were arrested and conveyed to the police station. A little later the mob assem bled again further down the avenue and wrecked another car. The police, rein forced by a mounted squad, now charged the crowd on “double” quick, and the mob dispersed alongside the streets after discharging a volley of bricks at the po lice. These missiles took effect in a dozen cases, and as many officers were more or less seriously injured. Another lot of prisoners was taken and the station house was filled with those arrested. None of those injured are thought to lie fatally hurt. There was no further trouble after the last dispersion of the mob on Webster avenue. AN INTERESTING SUIT. A <Jeorg>n Lady Suing for 5i1,000,000 ol Confederate Bonds. Mrs. Elizabeth Belt, of Georgia, sued attorney Nelson G. Green in the supreme court chambers of New York Wednesday before Judge Andrews for the return of confederate bonds of $1,000,000 face value, but. really worth little more than a nominal price. The bonds were the proceeds of an investment of SIOO,OOO worth of Mrs. Belt's property by her trustee, Ex-Governor Jenkins, during the war, a- she alleges, without her consent. , She is bringing suit to recover the amount from th? executors of her trustee in the Supreme court of Georgia, and da ms that the b nds are of great value to her. Mr. Green contends that he had a lien i upon them for unpaid services rendered, and declines to give them up without a guarantee of payment. The decision was reserved. INCENDIARY FIRES. •sioux City, lowa, In a Ntnto of Grant I'xciteui i»nt. Sioux City, la., is in a state of great I excitement over the alarming number of I incendiary fires and burglaries which 1 have occurred there within a few nights. The town is infested by a sot of desper ate criminals, who have been attracted by the spirit of lawlessness, shown by a considerable class of the community. Tuesday night a business block on Main street was mysteriously burned. At the same time a dozen residences on the ‘“hill," were burglarized. There were a dozen euses of housebreaking further down town Wednesday night. Late in the evening the town was alarmed by tin'. The livery stables at tached to the lowa house were burned to the ground. The house is kept by Frank Ivtepscb one of the men interested in the saloon fight last summer. His place was enjoined and ordered abated. No special comment was excited by this tire, but when a second broke out, a half hour later, there was much excitement and speculation. This was a large stable at tached to the Planters bouse, kept by Henry Mielki, another man whose place was abated. Mielki and Klepach both belong t<> the rebellious German saloon element. In the second stable, when a man entered to rescue stock, the halters of horses were found to be cut. Both tires were plainly incendiary. A third and very dangerous fire broke out suddenly in it large clothing house, within three doors of the Hubbard house, in tlie centre of the city at 11 o’clock p. in. The, entire property was destroyed, but a spread of the names was prevented. Remarks are heard on the streets that this is the work of prohibitionists. Others say the liquor men have done it to excite sympathy. SHOT THE WRONG MAN. bi Innocent Hitia fuHs n Victim to u Pomac of Pursuers A double tragedy occurred in Pike county, Arkanus, Saturday. Alfred Mc- Clinton, a desperado, waylaid Allen Wil liams and nibbed him of SSO, then stabbed him and rode away; A posse, under the command of officer Henry Wood was organized and started in pur suit of McClinton. It was decided to surprise the desperado, and the posse secreted themselves in the woods along the roadside, where Met Hinton was ex pected to pass on his way home Soon after twilight two men rode down the road one of whom was Jami s Savage, cousin of Officer Woods, and the oilier was G. W. Trout, a well-known citizen. Both carried shot. guns. Wood, mistaking Savage for McClin ton, told him to “halt.” Savage paused. Wood then ordered biin to throw up his hands. Savage wheeled his horse and raised his gun, when Wood fired. The ball entered the breast of Savage, who fell from his horse and died shortly. When Officer Wood discovered his mis take lie was overwhelmed with grief, and would have killed himself had not a friend interposed. A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY. Che Town of Adairsville in a Fever of Ex citement. A special to the Atlanta Constitution from Adairsville, Ky., says: This place was thrown into a fever of excitement by the killing of Fayette Thoughber by Bob Gorham. Thoughber, who was a very nice, quiet gentlemen when sober, was a perfect desperado when under the influ ence of liquor. He was in town on Sat urday and was drinking, and it is said that, he threatened to kill Gorham before he left town. The two met in the square, Gorham with a shotgun and Thoughber with a pistol. Who tired first is not positively known, but Gorham fired one shot and Thoughber five, the shot of Gorham taking effect in the hand and breast of Thoughber, one shot pass ing through the heart. He staggered and fell against the bank of Adairville and died in four minutes. He was taken to the office of the Blanchage house and dressed, and was carried to his home in Robertson county, Tennessee. No in quest was held.
