Amusements.
Happy Cal Wagner and his happy
band gave a fine performance at the
Opera House last evening to quite a
large and very respectable audience, a
large proportion of which were ladies.
The brass drum performer was in ex
cellent vein, and performed his part
with stirring energy. The instrumen
talization of this band is the finest of
any that h&s visited us. We trust this
band will be well received in their
travels through the South.
Railroad Accident.
The passenger train which left here
at 8 a. m., yesterday, met with an acci
dent at Dearing, about 9:18 a. m. There
was a ditching train coining in this
direction, and the engineer was endeav
oring to reach the siding at Dearing to
get out of the way of the passenger
train, but was not quick enough to
avoid a collision. The two trains came
together, and fortunately beyond slight
damages to the locomotives, and the
breaking of the bumpers of two cars,
no other damage was done. The en
gine attached to the passenger train
was the elegant express engine “City of
Augusta,” and she will resume her
trips in two days.
Masonic.
St. John’s Day was appropriately
celebrated by the members of Webb
Lodge, No. 166, F. A. M., by a public
installation of its officers (a list of whom
was published several days since) last
evening. There was a very large as
semblage of people, including a large
number of ladies, and all listened with
wrapt attention to the beautiful ad
dress of Rev. Mr. Sweeney, on the aims
and objects of Masonry. John S.
Davidson, W. M., presided, and his
dignified bearing and gentleman
ly attentions to all prove him not
ODiy a gentleman who has earned
an extended reputation as a bright
Mason, but one who has the power to
superintend the carrying on the exe
cutive duties of public life in a most
thorough manner. The brethren of the
mystic tie are to be congratulated upon
the success of the affair, which termi
nated in a hop. The festivities were
carried on until a late hour, and all
•went home delighted.
Yesterday, the Hon. George H. Pen
dleton, accompanied by a number of
gentlemen, made a pleasant excursion
around the harbor, visiting the points
of historical interest. At Fort Sumter
he was presented with two grape shot
which had been hurled at the fort
during the late unpleasantness.—

THREE DAY’S RECORD.
TWO BOVS’ MUKDEUED.
Melancholy List of Accidents—Cutting:,
Maiming and Drowning:—Whither
Are We Drifting: ?
On Friday night, an inoffensive
negro boy named Ramsey, about 17
years of age, was proceeding through
Campbell street, and had reached the
corner of Hopkins street, when some
mischevious white boys assaulted him
by firing Roman candles at him. The
negro turned to seek an explanation,
when he was stabbed by a lame boy,
who was afterwards identified in jail as
John Barrett. The police in arresting
Barrett searched him and found a knife
with a large blade with which it is sur
mized the deed was done. The reports
concerning the boy Barrett are rather
unfavorable. He is a cripple, apparent
ly about 16 years of age. After the
stabbing, Ramsey lived about two
hours.
The evidence taken before the cor
oner is so full that we forbear to make
auy comments, and we give it below :
Sarah Ware testified—l was going
last night to Mrs. Reeds for a cake, and
I had a little boy that was going to
school, and there was a treat given,
and I went after my boy to carry him
home, going along by Mr. Brown’s and
I called my little boy to me; the de
ceased was walking along saying noth
ing to anynody; myself, Hettie and
deceased were walking along together;
do not know who the boys were sitting
on the platform of Mrs. Browns; the
deceased said I am not troubling any
body, and asked the white boys what
they wanted with him; when he said
that., a little crippled-legged boy drop
ped behind the rest of the white boys
and dropped his band by his side and
suddenly made a plunge at the de
ceased; then the white boy3 ran away;
I did not know any of the white boys;
this happened between 9 and 10
o’clock; the treat was givea at the
Bethel Church; I heard no fuss of any
kind between them; Ramsey walked
with me about thirty yards and fell;
this happened in Canaan, between
Brown’s house and the meat house.
Lemon Hodges, testified —I got a let
ter from Mr. Moore, from Galveston,
Texas, to meet him at the train on Fri
day night, and as I wa3 coming up the
street some gentlemen said that some
body was stabbed; do not know wheth
er he was white or black, and I said
Gentlemen, I saw three boys running
down the street, and there was one
running like he could not get along;
did not know whether these were whit e
or black; this happened about five min
utes to nine o’clock; directly after I
left the store, I came up to the de
ceased, and he said : “Lord! Lord!”;
I kne .v deceased was a black man, and
I enquired where the deceased parents
lived, and told them that their son was
nearly dead.
Jesse Jackson, testified—l was
standing at Mr. Brown’s corner when
three white boys came along and there
was one colored boy with these three
white boys; I did not know who the
colored boy was; I knew the white
boy Jhat cut the deceased by his walk;
I saw him when he cut him; the crip
pled boy had hold of a little colored
boy and me and Prince Ward made
him turn him loose; I do not know the
cripple boy’s name but I know him
when I see him; the crippled boy said
that the black boy had struck a white
boy down in Dublin; the deceased did
not say anything to the crippled boy;
after the crippled boy cut the deceased
he went into Mr. Brown’s store; the
other three boys did not go in Mr.
Brown’s store; as soon as the crippled
boy found the deceased was sinking
rapidly he broke and run; I think it
was nearly ten o’clock; I did not see
the deceased when he fell; he fell right
at Mr. Asbury’s gate; the cutting took
place at Mr. Brown’s store.
Dr. ?A. H. Baker testified. After a
careful examination of the body, I find
that George Ramsey came to his death
from hemorrhage, consequent upon an
incised wound "received immediately
over the second rib of the right side,
about an inch from the sternum, rang
ing downwards and backwards, break
ing the rib in its course, and passing
almost through the middle lobe of the
right lung.
The jury rendered the following
verdict:
State of Georgia, Richmond county.

ANOTHER MURDER.
Between three and four o’clock on
Christmas Day, David Callahan the son
of John Callahan, living on Campbell
street obtained a gun, and with some
companions went over to the commons
near Hallihan’s to shoot it off. After
shooting blank cartridge, they com
menced shooting at a mark. One of the
party, named John Haley, a boy, who is
said is not of a very sound mind, shot
young Callahan in the head, aud he
died at 8 o’clock yesterday morning.
The story is fully told in the evidence
taken bafore the Coroner, which was as
follows :
M. J. Callahan testified : We went
out into the field, and Haley was along
with us, about three o’clock in the
afternoon; all those that were there
was William Conley, Benz Ferber and
myself and John Gorman; then, after
a little while, two others came up,
William Heinbel and Eddie Heinbel;
deceased and Stephen Lyons also
came where we were; I was shooting
the gun with blank loads; I loaded the
gun and gave it to William Conley, and
he shot it at the fence; I loaded the
gun again, and gave it to John Haley;
he made an attempt to shoot it at Benz
Ferber; I loaded the gun with a blank
load; I told Haley not to shoot the
gun at him, as it might kill him; Benz
Ferber told him that he knew a man
that was killed by a wad, and please
not to shoot at him; then he took the
gun and shot it at the
fence; I loaded the gun again
and gave it to deceased, and he
shot it at the fence; I loaded the gun
again and gave it to Benz Ferber; he
shot it at the fence; the contents of the
gun each time was powder and a wad;
I loaded the gun again and shot it at
the fence myself; William Conley took
out his knife aud went to the fence and
took out some lead that was in the
fence and put it in the gun, and shot it
at the fence; William Conley went to
the fence again and took out some more
of the lead with his knife and loaded
the gun and gave it to Benz Ferber to
shoot, and he shot it at the fence; a
colored man came by and told us not
to shoot there auy more, that there
were some ladies ta come by; all of us
went off; deceased went for five cents
worth of shot and ten cents worth
of powder; we were all shooting
at a house iu Hallahan’s lane; every
time that Haley got the gun to shoot
he would run at some of the boys and
point the gun at them; he took the gun
and ran after the deceased and the de
ceased got away from him; Haley
stopped and picked up something from
the ground that looked like rocks and
put them in the gun; he came back to
where we were standing and said he
was not going to shoot the gun any
more; he got behind the house and he
made three or four efforts to shoot the
gun at us; I commenced to throw rocks
at him to keep him from shooting at
us; he went to shoot and we all jumped
behind the tree, and he shot at us; de
ceased came up after he had shot at
us, and then John Haley came up and
said did you see where I hit; he pointed
at a spot on the tree; Haley and de
ceased were outside the fence and we
were inside the fence; we jumped the
fence and came to where Haley and de
ceased were standing; I did not notice
the spot in the tree; Haley climbed
up the tree he shot at; I loaded up the
gun for the deceased and he jointed it
at Haley, and said “ if you don't come
down I will shoot at you;” Haley said,
“if you do shoot at me you are a ;”
deceased turned the gun off and shot ;
all of us went back to the house and
commenced shooting at it; we shot off
all the powder and shot; I told Haley I
would not let him shoot the gun any
more; me and William Conley went in
side the old house; when I came out of
the house, Haley had the gun and
some powder that Eddy Heinbel gave
him; I went up to him to get the gun
and he ran away, and I followed him
and could not catch him; he stopped
and stooped down like he was picking
up rocks, and commenced rammiug the
gun; after he got through ramming the
gun, he put a cap on the gun and
all of us ran off and got
on the Central Railroad ; Haley was
by the house; Eddie Heinbel had a pis
tol, and he loaded it with cow-peas aud
said he would scare Haley; I asked
Eddie to give me the pistol and I would
scare Haley and make him drop the
gun; I walked down the railroad track
and I saw deceased running around the
house behind Haley; Haley wheeled
around with the guu iu his hand, and
I heard a shot and deceased fell at
Haley’s feet; Haley dropped the gun; I
ran up and told Haley that he shot de
ceased and Haley said “no I did;”
Haley said, if there was anything in the
gun Benz Ferber put it iu; they were
about six feet apart when Haley shot;
deceased never caught hold of the guu;
I picked up deceased and carried him
across the railroad track to a house and
asked a gentleman to give me a rag
and water to wash the blood off the
face of deceased; he told me not to stay
there but take deceased home, and I
carried him along home; as I was going
home deceased asked me who shot
him, and I told him Haley; I don’t
know if there was any ill-feeling be
tween deceased and Haley.
Margaret Burns,testified —Yesterday
evening, I was sitting in Mrs. Watkins’
yard; Mrs. Thomas went to give the
dog some water; she cried out aud
ran to the gate, saying that David Cal
lahan was shot; we all ran and the boy
passed us, covered with blood; I asked
John Haley if there was a bullet in the
gun; and he said no, there was paper;
she never saw Haley pursuing Calla
han; the shooting was two hundred
yards or more from where I was sitting.
Michael Burns, testified—Yesterday
evening about twenty minutes to four,
I was standing down on the Central
Railroad; saw Haley shooting a gun;
I saw Haley with a gun and there was
a crowd of boys behind a tree inside of
Hallahan’s fence; Haley made three
or four efforts to shoot the guu and the
boys kept throwing bricks at him; they
found they could not stop him from
shooting the gun at them; they all
jumped behind a tree aud Haley fired
at them ; after he fired they all came
from behind the tree; he was not
wounded when I left; I saw Callahan
about half an hour afterward; they
were bringing him home all covered
with biood; I cannot say that he was
wounded or not; I was too far off to
see; I never spoke to Haley.
Dr ■ De’S. Ford testified ; David Cal
lahan came to his death by a gun-shot
wound of the brain; the weapon was
loaded with pebbles; one entered the
left side of cranium immediately back
of the external angular process of
frontal bone, passing through the bone
and lodging in the posterior corona of
of left hemisphere of cerebrum-, the
other, two inches above this wound,
which fractured the bone; the first
pebble was found; the other was not;
his death was caused by the two
wounds.
The jury then rendered the follow
ing verdict:
State of Georgia, Richmond county.
-Au inquisition taken this 26th day of
December, 1875, before Thos. A. Kunze,
Coroner in and for said county and
State, upon the view of the body of
David Callahan, then and there lying
dead at the residence of Tim. Callahau,
iu said county and State, upon the
oaths of Daniel S. Beechener, foreman,
and others, sworn according to law, by
said Coroner, and further charged by
the same to diligently inquire how and
in what manner the said David Calla
han came to his death—now, we, tho
jury do find—
That the deceased, David Callahan,
came to his death from a gun shot
wound, at the hands of John Haley.

Haley was arrested and jailed. He
is about 14 years of age, aud scarcely
seems to realize the fearful position in
which he is placed. It is said while
young Callahan was writhing a agony,
from his dreadful wouuds, some of the
neighbors persisted in shooting fire
crackers, the discharge of which an
noyed the dying boy very much. Being
requested to desist, they refused, and
to a policeman who is a relation of the
murdered boy, that interfered, they
showed defiance, claiming it was out of
the city Such brutal conduct is
deserving of the severest censure.
CRIMES.
A Mr. Sexton was passing along,
on Saturday, Broad street near Hawk’s
gully bridge, when someone shot at
him, the ball passing through his hat.
He observed a crowd of negroes near
by, and as he went towards them, they
fled.
There was a report on Saturday, that
one negro had out another’s throat in
Campbell street, near South .Boundary,
but inquiry failed to elicit any more
information.
A negro boy from Savannah, on
Christmas night, was passing through
Reynolds street, and had reached a
point between Forsyth and Wilde
streets, when a little white boy named
Glover, shot him with a pistol. The
affair was thought to be accidental.
The pistol was loaded with buck shot,
and one of the shot struck the negro in
the groin, inflicting a severe wound.
A negro and a white boy had a dis
pute in tho First Ward on Christmas
Day, and it ended by the negro strik
ing the white boy in the face with a

side of his head, making an ugly

ACCIDENTS.
About sp. m. on Christmas day, a
seven-year old daughter of John Burns
was proceeding along Broad street,
near the lower Market House, when
she was set upon and hooked by a
cow, and badly injured in the stomach.
It is feared her injuries may prove
fatal. The cow had become infuriated
by some boys, who were worrying her
with fire crackers.
A young lady, while standing by a
tree on Reynolds street, near Forsyth
street, on Christmas night, was start
tied by a ball striking the tree against
which she was leaning. The missle
entered the tree within a few inches of
her head and was dug out yesterday.
It was a miracle she was not killed.
A young man, named Sullivan, was
shot in the fleshy part of his left arm,
above the elbow, by the premature
discharge of a pistol he was firing. The
occurrence happened near tile Upper
Market, on Christmas Day.
A little daughter of J. A. Reid, resid
ing on the corner of Campbell and
Barnes streets, had one of her eyes
put out, on Christmas night, by a ball
from a Roman candle.
On Sunday afternoon the report of the
accidental drowning of a young son of
William D. Tant, spread rapidly
throughout the neighborhood where
the family lived in the lower part of
the city and upon investigation it was
found to be a sad truth. The victim
of this sad accident—William H. Tant
—was about sixteen years of age and
the pride of his father, who is an engi
neer on the Georgia Railroad.
Young Tant upon a late visit to At
lanta prevailed upon a young friend of
his own age, John Lynch, son of the
well-known Atlanta tailor to spend
Christmas. After spending the holiday
happily, Willie thought he would give
his friend a ride on the river Sunday
afternoon, which would be a novelty to
him. He therefore asked pei mission
of his uncle and aunt with whom he
had lived since the death of hia mother
and in the absence of his father on the
road. They at first refused but even
tually consented with many cautious to
bo careful. The uncle soon after the
boys left to go in the boat,left n friend,
with the remark that he must look af
ter Willie as ho never allowed him to
go on the river without he was pres
ent. He had proceeded but a short
distance when he was met with the in
telligence that his nephew was drown
ed.
It appears that the two boys after
procuring the boat proceeded up the
river from the foot of Lincoln street—
Willie in tho rear paddling, and John
Lynch sitting in front facing the bow.
They had’passed the toll bridge and
were under the South Carolina Rail
road bridge, where it was found neces
sary to move around a flat boat moored
near by. On the opposite side there
was some piling driven near one of the
piers of the railroad bridge, and having
been standing for sometime were very
slippery from the washing of the water.
The unfortunate boy placing his pad
dle securely, as he thought, against
one of these piles endeavored to give
his boat a strong push and thus give it
an impetus that would carry beyond all
obstacles, but the paddle slipped, and
he fell headforemost in the water. His
companion, hearing the splash imme
diately turned, but both becoming ex
cited by the suddeness of the fall, they
knaw not what to do. Willio has always
been considered a splendid swim
mer, but being of slight build
and having on heavy clothing
and boots, and also excited-could
make but little effort to save himself—
and after sinking twice he rose under
the boat, when young Lynch, who had
by that time moved to the opposite
end of the boat, reached forth and
made a desperate but fruitless endea
vor to grasp him by the hair of his
head and save him. As fate would
have it, however, Taut’s hair had but
recently been closely shingled, and was
not long enough for any one to grasp
it. Young Lynch afterward stated
that he would have been able to hold
Tant when he caught at him if his hair
had been longer. But as it was, the
drowning boy was under the boat, and
his fate was sealed. It is said several
persons on the bank saw the catas
trophe, but were powerless to afford
aid in time to be of service.
The body was recovered late Sun
day evening after considerable search.
W. D. Tant, the father, who was in
Atlanta, was immediately telegraphed
to, and arrived here yesterday morn -
ing, accompanied by Mr. Lynch, the
father of Johnny Lynch.
Willie Tant was noted as quite an in
telligent lad, and during the past two
or three years an estimable member of
St. James’ M. E. Church. The father
experienced deep anguish at the loos of
his son, in whom he took great pride.
The funeral will take place at St.
James’ Church at three o’clock this af
ternoon.
An old maid in Reading, Pa., has

ful and the paper of the handsomest
tint. This number, with its splendid
maps, sketches and intereotiug reading
matter has the appearance of a con
solidated geography and encyclofedia.
Tho paper is published monthly at
twenty-five cents a year, which must
certainly be less than cost, aud the
only way we can account for Wrenn’s
making the thing pay, is that he sells
so many of them.
Christmas.
The press on our columns of the ex
traordiuary events of the past three
days, prevent a notice of tho exercises
at the churches on Christmas day or the
superb decorations of the same, and
the liberality of those who furnished
Christmas trees laden with presents.
Right here, it is well to remark that
Christmas would have passed much
more pleasautly had it not been for
the *■ popper ” nuisance and the repre
hensible practice of using firearms
which has caused so much misery, aud
will make Christmas of 1875 well re
membered as an unfortunate one. It
is to be hoped some morally courageous
man in the Council will be found be
fore Christmas of 1876, who will be
able to have an ordinance adopted
forbidding tho use of fireworks in the
public streets. There is an ordinance
forbidding the use of firearms, and
from personal observation we are en
abled to say that the police did all in
their power to enforce the law, but
they are not übiquitous ; hence, acci
dents and crimes did occur, for which
they are in no measure responsible.
Centenarian Dying.
In a modest dwelling on Reynolds
street, we found lying on a bed, yester
day, an old man in whom the flame of
life was still flickering, but the chances
appeared to be the poor old man had
not many hours left to spend on this
earth. He was conscious, and gave in
telligent signs and words to those
around him of his family, who were
standing near his bed. His name is
Jacob Whalley, and from an examina
tion of the records and conversation
with him, it would appear he was born
in 1770, which would make him just
one hundred and five years of age. He
was born in Barnwell district, S. C.,
and until 1858 carried on the active
duties of a farmer. In that year he
came to Augusta, and has resided con
tinuously here ever since. He was a
soldier in the war of 1812, and was
stationed on Coles Island. His teeth
have been remarkably good. He has
used tobacco and liquors sparingly.
For the past two weeks he has suffered
from dropsy, and for two day has been
unable to take any nourishment.
“I wish I might die,” sighed a senti
mental maid, as she stood rubbing the
shoulder of her dress with benzine;
and yet the very next time he came
she let him lay his head right in the
same spot.
County Convicts.
We were pleased to see in our city, a
few days since, Judge Wrn. M. Reese,
of Wilkes, the Senator from the
Twenty-ninth Senatorial District. Judge
Reese, ever watchful of the interest of
the people and the State, in and out of
the Senate chamber, while in the city
visited the brick yard of Mr. Hallahan,
where the convicts from the County
Court are confined and worked. Judge
Reese, after visiting the brick yard,
went to their quarters. After going
through the spacious brick building
assigned to them, and after seeing how
they are fed, clothed and provided for,
he expressed himself as very much
pleased with the manner in which they
are treated. We are sure that convicts
were never more humanely treated any
where than those in charge of Mr.
Hallahan. The rooms in which they
are confined are large and provided
with beds, and a sufficiency of bed
clothiug, and so arranged that they
caD be well ventilated in Summer and
heated in Winter.

Where Does it all Come From ?
Pints and quarts of filthy Catarrhal
discharges. Where does it all come
from ? The mucous membrane which
lines the chambers of the nose, and its
little glands, are diseased, so that they
draw from the blood its liquid, and ex
posure to the air changes it into cor
ruption. This life-liquid is needed to
build up the system, but it is extracted,
and the system is weakened by the
loss. To cure, gain flesh and strength
by using Dr. Price’s Golden Medical
Discovery, which also acts directly
upon these glands, correcting them,
and apply Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy
with Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche, the
only method of reaching the upper
cavities where the discharge accumu
lates and comes from. The instrument
and both medicines sold by druggists
and dealers lu medicines.
