A Blander Nailed.—The Athens Banner says
the report that Harris, of the Savannah Morn

iron for the street railroad arrived yesterday on
the Macon and Brunswick lioad, and the cross

iron which came yesterday will lay about one
mile and two-fifths of the road. The contractor
for bnilding our street railway is in the city,

laying of the track from the Brown House to
the Fair Grounds, is the first thing in order, as
we are informed.
Big Fish.—The hands at the brick yard of

and then captured. This monster, with several
others of smaller size, had asoended Walnut
creek daring the late rise in the river, and neg
lected the important matter of returning to the
river when it began to fall rapidly on Sunday
afternoon, and hence they were left in a hole

C’UNTBAL R. It. AND BaNKINO Oo. OT GeOROIA,!
Savannah, Oa, August 1, 1871. f
This Company having extended its back to the
liver, is now prepared to reoeive heavy cargoes of
freight on its cars direct from the wharf for trans
portation to the interior.
Persons desiring to avail themselves of this di
rect mode of shipment should have expressed on
their hills of lading that thair consignments shall
be landed at the Central Railroad wharf.
By the 1st November it is expected that a large
shed will be completed for the protection of salt,

parties may desire to have stored for future ship

Wilted Down.—Ask the man who complains of
"wilting down" in torrid weather what he has done
to sustain bis system under the extra strain impos
ed on his vitality. He may tell you that he has
tried a variety of catbartioa to purify hit blood and
brighten his epirits. Under such treatment, of
course, his strength has given way, and his ener
gies have become exhausted. What he requires is
a restorative, not a depletant. His blood is thin
Ins nerves have lost their natural tension, and na
ture demands to he renovated and reinforced. The
means is within the reach of all. For nearly
score of years Hostetter s Stomach Bitters has been
1 mlding up broken constitutions, bracing and
strengthening attenuated frames, and affording
comfort, ease and hops to thousands. As a pre
ventive of the epidemics which make such havoc
with the health of the inhabitants of new settle
ments, this famous tonic is certainly without
■rival. Perhaps the principal portion of iu world
wide fame is attributable to its astonishing cures of
Irspepsia, and all forms of indigestion. But these
are not a moiety of its triumphs. AB the types of
Mliousness yield to iU persistent use. It is a regu
lating medicine of the highest ordsr; and iu effect
upon the secretions, when irregular, is most salu-
tsry.
Imposition of the grossest character ia sought to
be practiced upon the 00immunity by vendors, who
recommend tinder the name of 41 bitters," fiery
compounds of a dangerous character, which they
attempt to substitute for the great national tonic.
Shun all such nostrums, and see that you have the
genuine Hostetter s Stomach Bitters, properly au
thenticated by label, name and stamp, and sold in
bottles only,
The Lost Child.—Since daylight on Satur
day morning last, a diligent search hat been
going on for the body of little Willie Harris,
reported os drowned on Friday evening by two
or three of his playmates. Should his body be
recovered, we do not think that it will be found
very near the point in the river where, it ia
said, he fell in. It seema to ns that those who
have been searching for him all this time, have
dragged every square inch of the river bottom
within one hundred yards of that point, and
that they should now extend their search lower
down. Mayor Huff, with characteristic gene
rosity, has offered a reward of one hundred dol
lars for the recovery of tbefeody.
District Court.—There were twenty-eight
cases docketed for hearing in this court last
week—twenty-two of which were disposed of
before the conrt adjourned. Judge Cowles held
morning and afternoon sessions and thus put
business through with a vim. Since this court
has got to turning over its guilty offenders to
the Mayor of the city to work on the streets,
instead of sending them to the county jail to
fatten, we begin to think that it is a good thing
for the county. We intended to publish a list
of Lie cases tried at the last term of the court,
bnt have not the space. Suffice it to say, how-
ever, that about thirty months’ labor was ex
acted by the court from offenders, while fines
sufficient to pay expenses of the conrt were col
lected.

the heaviest flour dealers in this market. They

Their “Hazor” flour is praised by every one,

by a rambling, hissing sound. Fragments
of timber and metal flew in every direction.
The forward part of the boat’s oabin was car
ried completely away. The chimney fell back
wards toward the rear of the boat, crushing the
upper cabin, and the boat iuimediately sank
with her bow submerged. About sixty or sev
enty persons were killed and injured by the ex
plosion. So far the bodies of nineteen dead—
eight l&dios among the number—have been re
covered. Twenty-eight wounded have been
brought to this city, and one of the number—
a tittle girl—has since died. The scene was
appalling, terrific, and heart-rending. Wilder
scenes of grief are seldom witnessed. The
frantio cries of survivors, as they lamented for
lost wives, children, parents, and sisters, were
agonizing to all who had human sympathies.
Many of the passengers were little children,
and many little bats and bonnets came ashore to
tell of the little victims beneath the waves. The
Captain, William Eaton, swam some time with
both of his legs broken. A boat reached
him just too late and he went down. The
tVo pilots were killed. The engineer and wife
were severely injured, and all the firemen killed.
It is impossible to correctly estimate the loss.
By some it iR supposed that at least 30 or 40 per
sons are still buried in the debris of the wreok,
or at the bottom of the bay. A diver has gone
to the scene of the disaster. The accident has
cast a gloom over the whole city, and a univer
sal sadness prevails. The streets are crowded
with people, and the excitement and feeling is
intense. The Ocean Wave has been for some
time considered an unsafe boat, and has always
been an unlucky one. A criminal responsibility
rests somewhere, and it shonld be visited upon
those to whose recklessness and incapacity it is
attributable. The system of inspection every
where is loose, careless and reckless. The
boiler was not so much exploded as it was tom
open with a long seam. It was so rotten as to
literally lear open. Had it been stronger so as
to explode with greater force the destruction
would have been greater. The force of the ex
plosion was upward and forward.
Charleston, August 28.—Diligent inquiry

The area of the lowest pressure in New York
has moved eastward of our stations. The high
barometer which was Sunday evening on Lake
Superior has extended east and northward, and
is now beyond onr stations. The area of low
barometer which was then in the Indian terri
tory has moved northeastward, and is now cen
tral in No: them Illinois; its influence extending
southeastward to the Bine Ridge and northward
beyond Lake Superior. The barometer has
fallen most rapidly from that Lake to Lake Erie.
Southerly winds, with cloudy weather and oc
casional rain, has been reported from Northern
Georgia to Ohio and northwestward; easterly
winds from Lake Superior and Minnesota, and
partially cloudy and clearing weather north and
east of Maryland.
Probabilities: Southerly winds with cloudy
and rainy weather is probable for Tuesday, on
the Southern and Gnlf coast. Cloudy weather
from Wisconsin to Arkansas and westward.
The area of lowest pressure will probably move
northeastward over Lake Huron, with rain and
fresh southerly winds on the lower Lakes, and
easterly winds on Lake Superior. Threatening
weather and light rains in the Middle and Eas
tern States. Dangerous winds are not an
ticipated.
New York, August 28.—At a meeting of the
Grand Jury to-day, Recorder Hackett delivered
a special charge on the subject of the Westfield
boiler explosion. The Judge pointed out the
provisions of the law applicable to the case and
circumstances necessary to be found to exist in
order to reach the President, Snperintendent
and Engineer of the Company. The Recorder
said it was too often the case that subordinates
are made scape-goats for erring officers who are
over them, and who are more powerful in place;
and he means, if it is possible on the facts and
law, to hold presidents, directors, etc., of com
mon carriers responsible for aocidents happen
ing to passengers, whose lives and limbs they
are bonnd to insure against negligence. Then
a groat and beneficial example would be set
these officials who exact liberal commutations
and fares ; and they should be held to the ut
most vigilance. He concluded by saying: “With
a whole nation looking at onr jndicial action
upon this great catastrophe, let us all give no
room for after reproaches from any quarter.”
Paris, August 28.—Gen. Ducrot has been
appointed military commander at Bruges. It
is reported that the Radical deputies will resign
their seats in the Assembly and contest the elec
tions in all the departments. A discussion of
the report of the committee upon the motion
submitted by M. Rivet for the prolongation of
the power of Thiers, will begin in the Assembly
to-morrow. The municipal council of Paris has
resolved to issue in the form of a lottery a three
per cent, loan for a large amount.
Versailles, August 28.—M. Rivet’s proposal
for prolongation of the term of Thiers will be
brought before the Assembly to-day.
Berlin, August 28.—The Prussian Cross con
firms the report that the second meeting of the
German and Austrian Emperors has been arrang
ed, and states that it will takeplaoe probably on
the 7th of September, at Solsburg. Emperor
Francis Joseph will be accompanied by Count
Von Benst. A firm basis was laid at Gasten
for relations whereby Germany and Austria are
to assume a joint attitude. Italy has uncondi
tionally agreed to the same policy, and commu
nications have passed between the three gov
ernments looking to the establishment of a com
plete understanding.
London, August 28.—Tho French deputation

greetings from tho people of Ireland, leave Dub
lin to-morrow for England.
The report of the treaty of alliance, offensive
and defensive, concluded by Prussia and Italy,
rests on the authority of a special dispatch to
the London Standard.
Upon the departure of the French deputation
from Ireland, hands played American, Irish and
French airs. The onthusiam was intense. Bad
feeling was evident between the police and the
jeoplo, but no disturbance occurred. The po-

toaspoonfnl of
THE PAIN KILLER
in sugar and water, (hot if convenient,) and then
bathe freely the stomach and bowels with the Pain
Killer clear. Should the diarrbee or cramps con
tinue, repeat the dose every ten or fifteen minutes
until the patient is relieved. In extreme cases,
two or more teaspoonfnls may be given at a dose.
The Psin Killer, as an internal remedy, has no
equal. In cases of cholera, summer complaints,
dyspepsia, dysentery, asthma, it cures in one night
by taking it internally, and bathing with it freely.
Its action is like magic, when externally applied to
old eorea, barns, scalds, and sprains. For sick
headache and toothace, don't fail to try it In
short, it is a Pain Killer.
Directions accompany each bottle.
The Pain Killer is sold by all dealers in medi

CHEAP GASLIGHT
Tie “Complete Gas fforU”
I S a simple, safe and reliable apparatus for sup
plying PUBLIC BUILDINGS and PRIVATE
RESIDENCES, with a superior and CHEAP GAS
LIGHT.
Upwards of FOUR HUNDRED are in successful
operation in private residences, churches, factories,
etc.
No other apparatus is operated on the same or
any similar principle, which guarantees a light of
uniform quality, in either argand or open Burners,
WITHOUT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL HEAT.
The pr&cticsl operation of the Machines can be
seen at the PASSENGER SHED of the Railroad
Companies in MACON; alto at the Printing and
Publishing House of Messrs. J. W. BURKE A CO.
We call attention to the following extract from a
letter from J. W. Burke, Esq.:
Maoox, Ga., March 23,1871.
1 'We have had one of the U. S. Gaslight Comps
ny’s Machines, in operation since the 10th of No
vember, 1870, and it is perfectly satisfactory to us
In its general working and cheapness. We paid the
Macon Gaslight Company for four months of last
year and the year previous—viz: November, De
cember, January and February—#399.56. In using
this Machine onr gas for the four corresponding
months cost us #114—thus saving ns in that time
#285.56. The light it quits as good as that of the
City Gas Company, and has the advantage of being
entirely under onr control to use ss we please.
During the severe weather in December it burned
without intermission, not being at all affected by
the freeze. We see no trouble in the Machine or
the light, and cheerfully recommend it.”

MAGIC DOOR SHOW CASES.
T HE doors have a brass spiral spring extending from binge to binge, giving an ornamental appearance
to the projecting part of the hinges.
The advantages of this door are : It will shut or open ae by magic, without the slightest noise, jar or
breaking of glass, even by the roughest of use. Can be opened or shut instantly by most any part of
the hands or arms, and remain so perfectly without catch, bolt or appendage of any kind. Is not affected
by warping or ahrinking, and is warranted to be exactly what has long been wanted for a show case door.
