Another stepson^int"ftvH— wake himself notorious yesterday by assaulting his step father and attempting to kill him. This youth is a negro named Clarence Robinson, and his step-father's name is Stephen Ack lin. Clarence lived with his mother and Acklin on Lumber and William streets. The boy is a wild and reckless youngster and his step-father took him into a room yester day and remonstrated with him against the way he was living. The boy said nothing in reply but was cross and sullen, and an hour later he stepped behind Acklin and -stabbed him in the back with a dirk. Dr. S. C. Parsons was called to attend Acklin and he found that while the cut was a pretty bad one it is not dangerous. THROUGH A SHOWCASE. Another serious difficulty occurred at Umbach’s store, on the Louisville road yes terday afternoon. There was a negro named Adam Floyd in tho shire and the clerk ordered him out, but he refused to leave. The clerk attempted to remove him by force, and in the scuffle Floyd’s right ann was shoved through a showcase. The arteries in the wrist were severed. The negro started for town, but did not reach here until 9 o’clock. He went to Dr. S. C. Parsons’ office and had his wounds dressed. His clothing was saturated with blood and he was in a dangerous condition from its lass. It was in this store that William Prenty, who is now under indict ment for murder, shot and killed a negro named Bacon about a month ago. SHOT HIS NEPHEW. Little Alex. Segur Accidentally Killed by His 17-Year-Old Uncle. “Bill” Williams, a negro boy about 17 years of age, accidentally shot and killed his 3-year-old nephew, Alex. Segur, Mon day night in the kitchen of the house in which they lived near Brownsville. Williams bought a pistol about two weeks before Christmas and went out shooting with it. On returning home he drew out all the shells of the exploded cartridges and placed the pistol in a box in his grandmother's room, whore it has remained untouched, he thought, ever since. Monday evening he took it from the box and sat down in the kitchen to clean it His little nephew stood beside him watching him work. Suddenly the pistol went off and the boy put his hand to his side and began to cry. His mother rushed in from the next room and asked Williams if he had shot the baby. He replied that lie did not know," but he began stripping the clothes off the little fellow and found a hole in his left side. Dr. Myers was sent for and he attended the boy, but the ball had touched a fatal spot, and at 3 o’clock yesterday morning he died. Coro ner Dixon was notified yesterday morning and he held an inquest at which the above facta were learned. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental homicide. THE MASCOTTE OUT OF LUCK. The Big Steamer Likely to be Brought to Savannah. It is not unlikely that the Plant steamship Mascotte, which broke loose while on the marine railway at Jacksonville, on Monday, and slid liack into the river, completely wrecking the railway machinery, will be brought to Savannah to be re paired. The vessel has been undergoing repairs for several weeks at Jacksonville. On Monday it became neces sary to haul her out of the river on the marine railway. After the ship was put in the cradle it required two hours of steady strain to get her to her proper position. The distance was short, but the movement was almost imperceptible. At last, however, the reluctant craft was dragged up to the line, when suddenly there was" a crash and she was out in the river again. Persons who were present say that they did not see her go. The movement was instantaneous. As stated in the Morning News yesterday, the rail way machinery was a complete wreck. Capt. J. W. Fitzgerald, who was superin tending the work, seeing that there was no possible chance to have the Mascotte hauled out at Jacksonville again until the hoisting apparatus was repaired, telegraphed to Sa vannah to know if shipwrights here could haul her out and she may be brought here. The delay- and time the steamship lias been out of service has cost the company consid erable money. The accident is supposed to have been caused either by a flaw in the cogs or by something falling into the cogs while the "wheels were in motion and throw ing them out of gear. The vessel’s weight is 800 tons and it was expected that she would be ready to go on tho iine again by July 4. The "accident at Jacksonville will delay her some time, how ever. A NEW COMBINE. Electric Light Plant Owners to Resist a Rise in Carbons. The latest instance of consolidation is a combine of proprietors of electric lighting companies, who propose hereafter to manu facture their own carbons, in both the large and small sizes used according to the candle power of the light. Heretofore these car bons have been made exclusively by tliir tecn manufactories, seven in Cleveland, two in St. Louis, two in Pittsburg, one in Mas saohuasets and one in Connecticut, and these manufacturers found a good market for their wares, as some of the electric companies used from 500.000 to 1,000,000 carbons per month. Re cently all these manufacturers entered into an agreement to raise the price of car bons from $lO and sl2 per 1,000, according to size, to S2O and $25 per 1,000. The Brush Electric Light Company here uses from 3,000 to 4,000 carbons a month. For the past two or three months it has been pay ing S2O per 1,000, where it formerly paid but $lO, "the increase being 100 per cent. The electric light companies all over the country are combining to start a manufactory in New York, where the cost of production would be reduced to a minimum, and the carbons would be manufactured at not to exceed the old price. The 100 |er cent, ad vance is quite an item, even to small com panies like that in Savannah, footing up a considerable advance on the cost of furnish ing the light. Fourth of July Excursions. Passenger Agent Paiterson, of the Savan nah. Florifia and Western railway, billed the city yesterday for the Fourth of July excursions which will be run over the road on July 2, 8 ami 4. On these days there will be but one fare for the round trip between all stations on the road. The tickets will be good to go on nny regular passenger train on July 2,3 and 4, ami returning not later than the 7th. DeKalb Lodge's Officers. DeKalb Lodge No. , I. O. O.

A Philadelphia doctor, after years of care ful observation, says that our demise is as painless as our ail vent to the world. This is certainly reassuring; yet notwithstanding those great inducements, wo still do not court death, and shall continue to use Dr. Pierce’s infallible remedy, the “Golden Med ical Discovery,” for consumption, spitting of blood, shortness of breath, weak lungs, coughs, bronchitis, and kindred affections of the throat and cheat.

They Make a Big Hit in “Dora” and “The Youth Who Never Saw a Woman.” Tho Fords made the hit of the season last night in “Dora.” The play is a pastoral drama founded on Tennyson’s poem, and was written by Charles Reade. It is full of strong situations, which were taken advan tage of most effectively. “Farmer Allen” and his son “William” are the two leading characters. “Dora” is “Farmer Allen's ’ niece, whom he wishes his son to marry. “Mary" is a j>oor family relative whom the sturdy fanner has taken into his family. Around these the story of the play is woven. Mr. Thomas McCabe and Mr. I,awrence Hanley as “Farmer Allen” and his son di vided the honors. Both parts were admir ably sustained. Mr. McCabe as the sturdy old farmer and Mr. Hanley as his soil, “William,” whose secret marriage with “Mary” in preference to “Dora,” the chosen and favored niece, provokes the unrelentless father's wrath, were given an ovation. Mr. Hanley’s appearance was enthusiasti cally applauded and Mr. McCabe was sev eral times recalled. Miss Clara Baker as • ’ Dora” made a decided hit. She has already become a favorite with Savannah audiences, and her sucess is well merited, for she is a true actress. Miss Alollie Maeder as “Mary” had an ex cellent conception of the character, and she played the part most successfully. Mr. Joe F. Doyle as “Luke Bloomfield” and Mr. B. T. Estill as “Jem Blount,” acted well their parts. Master Herbert as “Little Willie” was beartilv applauded. The plav through out was admirably produced, and so far is the greatest success of the season. After the drama came the farce “The Youth Who Never Saw a Woman,” with the cast: Colin, the youth Miss Maude White Philip Mr. Larry Doyle Ronaldo Mr. William Fleming Gertrude Miss T. Farrer Eliza Miss Mollie Maeder It is one of the most original as it is one of the best, farces that the Fords have ever riven. It was an uproarious suc cess. The audience laughed and applauded by turns, and when the curtain went down it gave one loud cheer and stamped and ap plauded until the curtain was rolled up again. M.ss White as “Colin.” Miss Maeder as “Eliza,” and Miss Farrer as “Gertrude,” the governess, carried the audience completely away. Mr. Larry Doyle as “Philp” and Mr. William Fleming as “Rinaldo” were all that they ever were. The east both for the drama and the farce was weil made and every part was success fully sustained. The same Dill will be given at to-dav's matinee and wili be repeated to-night." GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. General Manager Belknap left last night for Maeon. Gen. Alexander was in Atlanta yesterday. J. F. B. Beckwith, Esq., returned yester day morning from a trip through "South Carolina, where he has been for the oast month canceling the mortgages upon the roads of the Port Royal and Western Caro lina system. The Governor has granted the application for the charter made by the Alabama Mid land Railway Company. Tho company is an Alabama corporation, but will traverse three counties in Georgia, and under the law will have to have a charter from this State. The corporators named lire J. W. Wooifork, A. St. C. Tennilie, O. C. Wiley, J. D. and J. K. Murphree, Fox Henderson, W. S. Coleman, Charles Henderson, Sig mond Roman, David Wiel, Joseph Morris. The road enters the State in Early county, opposite the town of Gordon, in Alabama, and runs through Early. Miller and Decatur counties to Bainbridge. The whole road will be about 175 miles in length, and will constitute a line between Montgomery and Bainbridge. The Three C.’s Lease. A suit involving the lease of the three C.’s road to the Richmond and Danville system is on trial in Augusta. May 1, 1883, the directors of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta road leased that road for ninety nine years to the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company. A considerable mi nority of the stockholders objected to the leasing on the ground that it was done without authority and is against the interest and welfare of said stockholders. For the purpose of breaking the lease a bill of equity was filed by certain stockholders, ana the present suit has been brought, by Jacob H. Lowrey and others for to obtain"an injunc tion to" that effect. The Value of a Crossing. General Manager Belknap and Superin tendent Hege, of the Central Railroad, re turned yesterday moruing from Griffin, where they have lieen attending the arbi tration of damages to be assessed on ac count of the Georgia Midland crossing the Central Railroad on a level. The arbitrators were J. G. Rhea, L. Cleveland, and M. J. Patrick. After a iengthv argument by the counsel for the Georgia Midland. Major Belknap, for the Central, said that his load wanted no money consideration, but wanted only such precautions taken to gfuard against accidents as the public safety and the property of both roads demanded, which was that the Georgia Midland and Gulf road should place signals at the point where that road crossed the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama railroad and the Central, such signals to he placed there whenever needed, and to be maintained by the junior road. To this the counsel for the Georgia Midland objected, and after still further arguing the case it was submitted to the board for decision. After a short consulta tion the board decided that the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad should pay the Central" and Savannah, Griffin ann North Alabama railroads $350 each, damages for crossing the roads.

Yachtsmen Stirred Up Over the Set down on Home-made Crafts. ’ Yachting Editor Morning Sews: Asa general rule it is not considered “just the thing” to criticise the conduct of a club out side of its organized meetings. But the Sa vannah Yacht Club has recently adopted some rules that justly merit public criticism. For instance, one rule is that any boat may enter for the races, but tliat a member of the club must go on it or it will not be allowed to run. Now the builder and owner appears with his boat at the proper time, out because of the indifference of the members of tho yacht club, or their fear of tauning their complexions, or their fondness for personal comfort, no member will go on the outsider’s yacht; and as a result the home-made Georgia pine yacht, built right here at a cost of perhaps one fourth that of the Northern-built yacht and often very much more substantial, is ruled out of the race. Is this fair to our poor fishermen, who display such talent in con structing new models ? Is it not a fear of being beaten by the so-called batteaux! In the recent Isie of Hope regattas two boats built bv the Messrs. Ferguson at Cedar Hammock defeated all the finer crafts. Is not this a credit to the builders and to Cap tains Brown and Ferguson, who sailed them ? And now comes the adoption of rules which practically exclude both boats. Gentlemen of the Savannah Yacht Club, are you afraid to meet the Rear Admiral's fleet from Cedar Hammock and Shipyard t Take the other rule. The Savannah Yacht Club pretends that it wants to encourage yachting. Messrs. Ludden & Bates made Capt. Brown, for the Vivian, a present of a sail with their name and advertisement on it, and in a recent race this boat distanced competition and so ruffled the club that it adopted a rule to exclude the sail. If our Sa-’annah and Chatham county boys can for one-fourth the money build boats that can run away from the so-called fine yachts belonging to the Savannah Yacht Club members, it is a good thing to find out, both for the encour agement of home talent and economy. If the Savannah Yacht Club wanes to do the fair thing let it adopt another rule, that when an outsider takes all the trouble to equip or build a boat and bring it to the race the Commodore shall order a member aboard, oi the boat shall not be excluded because of tho laziness or love of ease of the members of the club itself.

No char.'e exc.y (■ 'nun A GEORGIAN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. He Talks About the Impoverished Farms and the Movement of the Young People to More Promising Fields. Chesterfield, N. H., June 34.—A Geor gian among the mountains of this oid Granite State is truly a rara avis, but my experience is he will be a fortunate one and not regret the coming, particularly at this season of the year, before the hotels are filled to overflowing by the city folks. More hospitable people I've never met—genial gentlemen, sprightly and pretty ladies make the hours pass agreeably—and the magnificent clover and timothy pastures well stocked with mild-eyed Jerseys, trim looking Devons and romping lambs, and all under the supervision of the thrifty farmer guarantee!' to the inner man the best of meats, butter and milk, and all this, with a temperature of about 70°, make this season of the year very agreeable. This place is prettily situated among the higli hills, eight miles ride from New York city, and about ton miles east of the cele brated Connecticut valley, that divides this State from Vermont. It is patronized prin cipally by Boston and New York people, who, during the warm months, seek quiet and recreation among these beautiful hills. The farming interest of New Hampshire is fast dying out. Forty ydars ago it was a fanning State, the soil was rich and pro ductive, and large crops could be raised: but now the soil is impoverished and most of the owners too poor to go into revitaliz ing it to any great extent. Grass fed to cattle has been the farmers’ principal means of support, but the West now sends beef already dressed into the various cities cheaper than the New England farmer can raise it. Tumbled down barns, neglected fences and deserted houses are seen at every turn. The result is that the farms are be ing fast deserted by the young men and women, who either go West or crowd into the manufacturing towns. In a short time New Hampshire will be almost exclusively a manufacturing State, and having no forests or seaports, that is about all the inhabitants have to look for ward to. And is the prospect bright! Heretofore New England has almost monop olized the manufacturing of all domestic articles, as cutlery, crockery, furniture, harness, etc., and always found easy mar ket for the same in the South and West, but things are changing now: factories of like character are now springing up iu all parts of the South and West, and yet New Hamjv shire must look to these identical markets for the disposition of her products, knowing full well that freights of from 2.U00 to 3,000 miles is in favor of the South and West. The railroads there are going to play a very important part in the future of this State. No wonder tre mendous efforts are now being made throughout the State to have such laws passed as will keep the railroads out of the hands of the great outside capitalists, for to these roads the State must look for her fu ture welfare. Young America has become too numer ous for the small firms of New Hampshire, but nappy and cheerful homes for the economical and industrious can and will be found nestling at the foot of these big hills, even though the valleys are but a few acres in extent.
