William Prentv Accidentally Shoots a Negro on the Louisville Road. Another case of didn’t-know-it-was-loaded occurred at the store of Charles Umbach, on the Louisville road, near the race track yesterday morning. William J. Prenty, who did the shooting, is now in jail, while the victim of the accident is suffering from a painful but not dangerous wound. Prenty was a clerk in Umbach's saloon and grocery. He was seen in the jail yesterday and gave the following account of the affair: About 5 o’clock in the morning he was awakened by a negro who slept in the room with him, and was told that there were some stray cows in Umbach’s fields. He picked up a revolver and the negro took a shotgun, and they went out together. Both barrels of the gun and three loads from the revolver were discharged to frighten off the cows. When l’renty and the negro returned to the house they opened the store and prepared for work. About 10 o’clock several negroes were in the barroom, and Sherman Butler bought the beer for the crowd, and then Prenty asked them to drink with him. One of them begun talking about a revolver that he had, and Prenty said: “Here is something that will catch "you a mile off.” leveling the shot gun at Butler. One of the men knocked the muzzle up with his hand, but the gun went off. the load from one of the barrels entering the negro's side. A physician was sent for, and after examining the wound he said that it was not dangerous. About 200 negroes collected about the house, however, and if Umbach had not kept Prenty in an upper room short work would have been made of him. The wounded man and the witnesses all say that the shooting was accidental, and Prenty says that the man he shot was the best friend he had in the world. He was brought to the city in a wagon anil lodged in jail. The witnesses to the shooting acted as a bodyguard to keep off the crowd. Prenty said that he felt sure that the gun was not loaded, because he was present when both barrels were discharged in the morning, and he does not know who could have loaded it after it was fired off.

Our Daily Bread. Heavy and sour bread or biscuit has a vast influence through the digestive organs upon the measure of health we enjoy. How r important to our present happiness and future usefulness the blessing of good health and a sound constitution are, we can only realize when we have lost them, and when it is too late to repair the damage. Notwith standing these facts, thousands of persons daily jeopardize not only their health, but their lives, and the healths and lives of others, by using articles in the preparation of their food the purity and healthfulness of which they know nothing. Perhaps a few cunts may have been saved, or it may have been more convenient to obtain the articles used, and the housekeeper takes the responsibility and possibly will never know the mischief that has been wrought. Paterfamilias may have spells of headache, the children may have lost their appetites, or look pale; if so, the true cause is rarely suspected. The weather, the lack of out door air, or some other cause, is given, and the unwholesome, poisonous system of adulterated food goes on. Next to the flour, which should be made of good, sound wheat and not ground too flue, the yeast or baking powder, which furnishes the rising proper ties, is of the greatest importance, and of the two we prefer baking powder, and al ways use the Royal, as we thereby retain the" original properties of the w heat, no fermentation taking place. The action of Royal Baking Powder upon the dough is simply to swell it and form little cells through every part. These cells are filled with carbonic acid gas, which passes off during the process of baking. The Royal is made from pure grape acid, and it is the action of this acid upon highly carbonized bicarbonate of soda that gene rates the gas alluded to; and these ingredi ents are so pure and so perfectly fitted, tested and adapted to each other, that the action is mild and pemuunent, and is con tinued during the whole time of baking, and no residue of poisonous ingredients remains to undermine the health, no heavy biscuits, no sour bread, but if directions art" followed, every article will be found sweet anil whole some.

Prejudice has murdered many a man and woman. If it were be lieved that the sum of disease could he re duced by physic much would be gained. The nightmare of death would not frighten us as it does. In our modem civilization we ought reasonably to expect disease to settle upon us lsx-aii.se we do so much to attract it; because wo so often and so steadily expose ourselves to it. At the same time we all ought to understand, as a part of our rudimentary education, that to save our selves from the effects of sueli exposure some kind of fortification should lie built around our vital forces lest the enemy carry us. as it were, by a sudden onslaught. For many years the unprejudiced have uwsl Uranjjheths Pills in this way and they have proved a most effective wall against the approach of disease.

LIVELY FOR THE UMPIRE. “TONY” SUCK IN A VERY UNEN VIABLE POSITION. The Savannah-New Orleans Game Broken Up in the Eighth Inning by the Withdrawal of the Homo Team— The Directors Refuse to Submit to Umpire Suck’s Decisions-The Visit ors Get the Game by a Score of 5 to 4, Savannah 4. New Orleans 5. Memphis 4, Charleston 3. The visiting clubs were the winners in the Southern League yesterday. The Savan nah game, after seven innings and a part of the eighth had been played, ended in ’he withdrawal of the home team from tae field. Umpire Suck's decisions from the start were dead against Savannah. The game at the beginning of the eighth inning was 4 to 2 in Mew Orleans’ favor. The home team made two runs, tieing the score. The visitors then went to the bat. Aydelotte led off with an out Cartnght reached third base and was mak ing a desperate effort to get home. He was ten fret off the base when Gei.ss sent a long fly into centre field. Peltz fielded the ball and threw it home. Instead of re turning to his base after the ball left the bat Cartright started home from where he was and scored. The rule requires that a runner shall not leave his base on a fly until the ball has been fielded. Manager Peltz protested against the decision, but the um pire refused to recognize him. This decis ion, following half a dozen others equally as bad, brought things to a crisis. The direc tors instructed Manager Peltz to withdraw the team from thefie)d. Suck hail been hissed several times during the early part of the game, and when the crowd on the bleaching boards saw the turn things were taking* it rushed into the field yelling “Mob him,” “Take him and made a dash at the umpire. The players closed around him, and ho was hustled into the directors’ box. This ended the game. The score stood 5 to 4 in the visitors' favor. The home team played a pretty game and doubtless w ould have won with square um piring. Sack’s first rank decision was in the third inning. Geiss batted a short fly which was fielded by McArthur. Brower was standing off first when the ball was thrown, but he reached the base several seconds in advance of Geiss, who saw that he was unable to make it and partly stopped running. The umpire blindly declared the runner safe. This opened the door for the visitors* and by lucky hits and Hutchinson’s wretched work at short they piled up three runs. After that they were shut out uutil the eighth inning, when rather than be robbed of the game outright the directors withdrew the team. Umpire Suck said last night that he did not intend to rob any body. If his decisions were wrong they were errors of judgment. The directors and crowd did not seem to take that view of it, and Suck's position for awhile was not altogether an enviable one. The game was sharply contested by both teams. McArthur had good control of the ball and was very effective. He was ad mirably supjiortoa by Dallas. Reilly’s wild throw to first base, letting a runner home, was the only fielding error made, except two by Hutchinson. The Pelicans played well together. Aydelotte, though not as effective a pitcher as McArthur, held the locals down to ten hits. The following is the score: SAVANNAH. AB. R. B.H. P.O. A. E.

Charleston Runs Against a Snag in the Bluff City Team. Charleston, S. C., May 23.—Memphis stepped into the diamond this afternoon and administered the first check to Charleston since the home series began, winning by a score of 4to 3. It was mostly a fight be tween the two Smiths, the batteries being Smith and Hines for Charleston and Smith and Baker for the visitors. The game was almost errorless, hut while the locals played a fine fielding game, they appeared to hat without vim and to crawl around the bases. They failed to score until the eighth inning, and on the ninth would have tied the game, at least, hut for the fact that there was no one on the coaehor's lines. The Memphis men kicked right through from the beginning to the ending of the game, and the music of the coaeliers could be heard all over the field.

President Alexander, of the Central, left last night for New York. The Western Union Telegraph Company is constructing a line along the route of the Mobile and Birmingham railroad. The net earnings of the Central railroad for last month were $20,876 23 greater than the earnings of April, 1856. The total earn ings last month were $387,595 70. The ex penses were $339,702 34, leaving a net of $57,893 36. The Wilmington, Chadboum and Con wayboro (8. C.) railroad is rapidly ap proaching Conway. It has now reached the line between Simpson Creek township and Bayboro. At the point where the railroad crosses the line is Cushion (Swamp. In this swamp there is to be a trestle 850 feet long and ton feet high. The President of the Georgia and Caro lina Midland railroad states that, in his opinion, by the exercise of patience and in telligent effort the Georgia and Carolina Midland railroad can be constructed and equipped without outside aid and without the surrender of its charter by consolidation with another company. The Tuscaloosa and Macon. Mobile and West Alabama, Tuscaloosa Northern, the Louisville and Nashville and the Chicago and Gulf Air Line railways are all num bered among the roads that are to bo built to Tusealoasa, Ala., in the near future. Three! of these roads are now under survey and will be under contract by fall. A Six Million Dollar Tunnel. The goveriunedts of Sweden and Den mark are seriously considering the con struction of a railway tunnel under the sound, to unite Scandanavia with the conti nent. Its length would be nearly eight miles and the estimated cost of construction about $6,350,000. Japan’s Railways. Japap has now 374 miles of railways in operation and 110 miles in course of con struction, while. 246 miles more have been surveyed and some 436 miles more are pro jected, making a total of 1,139 miles in pros pect, of which 486 , miles are government lines ajid 653 miles are private enterprises. Railway Earnings in 1887. The business of the railways for the first four months of the present year makes a fa vorable showing, so far as the returns are published. From a table given by the Financial Chronicle it appears that the gross earnings of 107 linos from Jan. 1 to April 30 were $113,315,980, against $95,895,- 193 in 1886, an increase of $17,420,793, or a little over 18 per cent. The increase of mileage of these roads in the same period is not given, but it certainly has not been nearly as great proportionally as the in crease of earnings shown. Ris remarkable that out of the 107 lines name{| only six show a decrease. “Buchu-Paiba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ney, bladder and urinary diseases. sl. At druggists.

The Summer Trade. The business at this season in the hard ware, stove and house furnishing line is con siderably lighter than during any other. Noth withstanding the large run for build ers goods, trade in stoves and ranges does of course also fall short, but is in fair demand. Tilings that there is actual need of and which constitute the bulk of the traffic now, are cream churn*, kerosene stoves, watering pots and coolers, fly fans, and traps and the like. In those we are ever at the top and solicit the patronage of all. Lovell & Lattimore, hardware, stoves and house furnishing goods, 155 and 157 Congress Street, Savannah, Ga.

Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children arc cutting teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain and the little cherun awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens tho gums, allays all pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes.

Living Contented, for Months on Ship board, with No Land in Sight. A great many people live at sea, a great many families travel about for years on old brigs and barks and full rigged ships and things, says a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle. Long years ago I took a long voyage in a magnificent tea clipper. Bha was the queen of the sea, for only the y ea* before she hau been the victor in that gredfl c-can race which made so much sensatiuij It was before the days of regular tradhn steamers, aud the tea merchants of Lompi® offered a bonus of? 250 a ton on the cdMafc on the first ship to arrive from China East India docks.

It was a curious sight in many ways. On the deck of this old bark a middle-aged woman sat knitting in ease and comfort; at her feet two children were playing, and the skipper sat tilted back against the mast reading a paper. There, away out in mid-ooean, was a complete fam ily, perfectly happy. >Ve hailed the skipjier as we passed. We offered him a tow. He smiled and shook his head. “Where are you from?” we called. He answered, I forget what port. “Where are you going?” “Shanghai,” he answered. “How long have you l>oen out?” was the next question. The answer came in a per fect matter-of-course contented tone: “One hundred and forty-five days.” At that rate he had about seventy-five days before him before he reached his desti nation. But he did not care. The ves.be longed to him. 11 was his home and alt his little world was there with him. State op Weather. A HUMAN BATTERY. • Singular Effects of a Stroke of Light ning. A St. Louis dispatch to the New York Times says: Rpnnoid Pussier, one of the men struck by lightning during the electric storm last Sunday, has developed into a hu man battery. When he recovered his senses his legs were numb and one of his arms was Eartiy paralyzed. On the day following, owever, this numbness passed away, aud only a little pain remained. Passler seemed in a fair way to recover, and the doctor promised him health within a day or two after the accident. Two days after the body of Ho^n,‘Passler’s com panion, was taken to Alton for burial. Passler was still weak, but he insisted on going to Alton, and he went. While in Alton he was seized with a severe spasm. His nock was twisted back, his body writhed in agony, and it was with difficulty that he was held on the bed. He was brought back to his home. Since he returned he has had several spasms which have weakened him considerably. While suffering from them he has developed a peculiarity which seems to grow every day. His body seems to be charged with the electric current. He suffers with frequent shocks, as from a bat tery, and ho imparts the current to those who come in contact with him. The current seems to be the strongest when the spasm is on. “I have shocks sometimes.” said Passler, “running from my feet to my head. Sometimes they run from my-head to my feet. In my right wrist I feel a pain all the time, as though I was be ing shocked by a battery. If I touch a steel fork or a needle to my wrist I feel a burning pain. If I touch a piece of steel to thq red spot on my knee 1 feel a burning sensation. I seem to shock iieople more when I have the spasms. The Rev. William Koeneke, of the Methodist Episcopal church, at Fifteenth and Washington streets, held my hands when I had a spasm, and he said he felt it for hour;; afterward.” THE TENTH OF $50,000. How a Colored Boy Becani9 Rich, and the Effect His Wealth Has Had Upon Him—One Dollar in the Louisiana State Lottery. Of course a majority of our citizens are opposed to gambling, but there is considera ble pleasure when you try it to know that you are going to play a game that is fair. Clifford J. Tweedy, tho colored boy who was tlie lucky holder of tho one-tenth of ticket 23,899 —the second capital prize of $50,000 received about a week ago his one-tenth, or $5,000, and our readers would perhaps like to know something of this colored boy’s life, and how he won the prize, and what he has done ami intends doing with his money. Clifford is a likely- colored boy, about 21 or 23 years of age and was raised by Mr. Henry T. Peay, with whom he has l>een for the past sixteen years. At the. time of his draw ing the $5,000 he was in the employ- of Mr. Peay, getting $8 per mouth. He has re tained his position with Mr. Peay, and does his work as faithfully ns ever. After receiving his $5,000 he deposited 84,- 000 in the Georgia Railroad Bank and took SI,OOO and divided a portion of it amongst his poor colored relations. Be it to his credit, too, he did not forget his employer, Mr. Peay, to whom lie gave a present of SSO. He says with the $4,000 that he has de posited in the Georgia railroad he intends to buy Augusta’s real estate, another sign that he hns a level hf*;ul. In answer to the ques tion how much he had invested before win ning, he replied-that ho had bought a ticket regularly every month for’the last, fifteen months, and it was the fifteenth dollar that did the work.— Augusta (Ga.)
