AHEAD OF THE RECORD.
THE HOTTEST DAY THE SIGNAL
SERVICE EVER REPORTED.
The Lcnrshorcmou Refuse to Load
Vessola-Threo Sunstrokes Artdod to
the List—Sights and Sconos in Various
Quarters of the City Houses
Deserted and Streets and Lanes
Turned Into Bedrooms-The Indica
tions More Encouraging.
Tins report shows that yesterday was the
warmest day that has ever been known in
Savannah since the Signal Service has !<een
established. The thermometer rose C-lO*
higher than on Sunday leaching 101.0*.
The continuance of the extreme heat for two
days made it all the more unbearable, as the
walls and pavcmeutsjhad 3 liocoine charged,
and radiated and reflected almost as much
heat as was thrown out by the sun. The
day was not only disagreeable but it
caused auy amount of absolute suffering.
Those who were compelled to work illy bore
the extreme warmth and sultriness of
the atmosphere and retired, worn out and
exhausted! to beds where no rest
awaited them. But a little exertion was
required to throw one into |a state of
great discomfort, and the wonder is that
many of the laborer? whose hard work is
sufficient to warm them when it is cold did
uot succumb to the extraordinary conditions
under which they were compelled to toil.
THREE MORE SUNSTROKES.
Yesterday added three to the number who
have fallen victims to the sun’s rays, Mr.
Frans'. Rnnd"nnur and Mr. Jerry O’Leary.
Mr. Kandenaur. who is a brother-in-law of
Mr. George Deiter, has becu sick with a
fever for some time past, and only
a week ago did he sufficiently recover
to arise from Ills bed. For several days
lie has been walking ulxiut. but yesterday
morning he started from the house for a
stroll and had only taken a few steps when
lie fell. He was carried to his bed and died
Sll a few minutes. He has been living with
Mr. Deiter, at whose farm he died.
The other ease was that of
Jerrv O’Leary, a young man who worked
for the Vale Royal Manufacturing Com
pany. He was coming home from work
about 0 o’clock in the evening, and just ns
lie reached the Goodwin pasture, between
the works and the city, he was overcome
by the heat and fell to the ground.
Home men who saw him placed
him in a wagon and drove him to
his home on Purse street, between
Jones and Sims. He is not dead and ’his
condition last night was sueh as to give rise
to the hope that he would recover. Observer
Hanner. of the Signal Service, was partial
ly overcome in his office, but he retainod
sufficient strength to administer restoratives
to himself, and at midnight ho was only
feeling a little the worse for his stroke.
LABORERS QUITTING WORK.
The longshoremen who were loading rosin
and turpentine at the Savannah, Florida
and Western wharves yesterday morning
refused to go to work. They did not go on
another strike, but they said that the day
was too hot to roll barrels in the sun and
stow’ them away in a ship's hold, and the
captain did not disagree with them, for a
warmer place than the wharves, where the
Sun lieat down unobstructed, ami the river
reflected its rays could scarcely lie found.
The Vale Royal Lumber Works closed at
6:30 o'clock because the men were suffering
too intensely from the hot air within the
building. The low roofs and the running of
the machinery adding to the sultriness of
the atmosphere made labor ulmost unendur
able. On the buildings that are going up
in different parts of the city the carpenters
and masons stuck to their work though
they did so only bv a determined effort.
The hod carriers could not work steadily.
They would carry up a few hauls of brick
ar mortar then sit in the shade of the walls
ind fan themselves for half an hour.
INSUFFERABLE NIGHTS.
The warm days would lie easier to hoar if
the cool nights to which Savannah is accus
tomed had not given away to nights of
warmth and the breezes to dead calms.
Scarcely a breath ott air stirred
Sunday night, and last night Re
wind blew in uncertain and
fitful gusts. Sleep was almost out of the
question, and if one did sink into a restless
slumber it was only to awaken to find one's
self in a profuse perspiration, hot, weary
and as tired as if a day's work hail Iwen
done. The sights that were seen in various
parts of the city were strange to look upon.
From dark until :i or l o’clock in the
morning men, women and children
could be seen in almost every square
as if another earthquake were impending.
The green in South Broad street, held many
a one after midnight whose youthful eyes
Rre wont to close long before the "wee sma’
hours” usher in the new day, but these
scenes were mild compared with those
enacted in Yamacraw, Olive street, Cooper
(Shop lane, the Old Fort, and similar locali
ties.
WEIRD AND UNCANNY SIGHTS.
There the negroes were stretched out on
the sidewalks in light and airy costumes
that certainly did not obstruct the passage
of whatever breeze might be blowing.
Families spread quilts upon the pavements
and slept there before the door of their
homes instead of seeking the shelter of the
rooftree. Hundreds of them did not
try to sleep. They sat upon
boxes, baiTels ana chairs at the comers, in
the alleys and lanes—everywhere and any
where—and spent, the night, chatting and
'rushing an occasional growler for iced beer
to quench their thirst. There was more
animation there than one is wont
to see in the 'early morning hour
even in those spits, and they were strange
and sometimes weird sights, too, but there
was no help for it, because to return to tile
low, close novels in which these people live
was only to seek out the hottest pi are that
could lie found.
THE WEATHER STATISTICS.
The average teinjierature of Savannah
yesterday was SO’, and the thermometer ha-1
reached 101.6" and was not thinking of
stopping when a wind storm came up and
drove the mercury back 18' in fifteen
minutes. There was a reaction from that,
however, and the night was quite as uneom
fortable us the preceding one. The coolest
place in the cotton district , was
Alapaha, where the maximum was 00*.
At Smithville it was l(),j\ and the average
for the cotton district was 102'4°. The Sig
nal Service began the uso of the now cole
yesterday, but the southeastern re
ports had to lie scut by the
old code, for the new one does
not provide for such ti-nip-ratur-e* as this
section is reporting now The outlook is
lit- cooler weather unlay. The
Forth and Northwest is enjoying
Left,:. - weather, and tho lino that,
marks 70° and below, swoops from
Chicago down lielow Cincinnati and off to
the East. Atlanta reported more t hail an
inch of nun yesterday, but. that was the
only point in the country where rain 81-11.
The wind storm here was the edge of the
rain storm that passed over that city.
SUFFERING FROM HEAT.
A Dog- Scares a Neighborhood With
His Antics.
About it o’clock yesterday morning a dog
rushed down Bay street yelping, and bark
ing, and frothing ut tho mouth. He was
not mad, but was suffering from the intense
heat. He ran down the Exchange slip and
through some means fell into the river. He
swam out again and ran to tho corner of
Drayton street, where a negro man
grabbed him and threw hli. into a wagon.
Pedestrians all along the route gave him the
full width 1# *lll silt-walk os a matter of
precaution for tear J;o might be mud. The
rervr that he was mad caused considerable
excitement ; us thei e has never been a case of
hydropliojita in the city, except when r
'liter of Northern iOps was brought hero

Miss Ida Sternberg, who went to New

THE JASPER MONUMENT.
The Date of Unveiling Postponed at the
Request of the Artist.
A special meeting of the Jasper Monu
ment Association was held at the residence
of Capt. John Flannery, and a lottor from
Mr. Doyle, the artist, was read. Mr. Doyle
asked that the day of unveiling lie post
poned until Feb. 22. Ho states! that ho could
have tho monument ready by Oct. 9, but to
do so lie might have to neglect some of the
minor details. This monument will be one
of the handsomest in the country. The sub
ject. has inspired the artist, and no has cre
ated one of the most lieautilul designs that
was ever cast in bronze, and worked it
out with ortlstic skill, and the
association agrees with Mr. Doyle
that the question of unveiling tho monu
ment a few months earlier or later should
not lie (lermitted to hazard the merit of the
statue when completed. The photograph of
a model, in which the position of the flag is
changed, was submitted aud unanimously
approved. In the former model the flag
hung behind the the figure and obscured
it when viewed from tho rear, but in tho
model which was accepted the flag staff is
grasped iu the left hand, the left arm out
stretched, and the right hand is pressed to
the breast over the wound. The statue
will lie all the more interesting as it will be
historically correct, tho face being tho only
thing that is the work of the artist’s imagi
nation.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1887.
IN HIS BEDROOM.
How a Young Lawyer Captured a
Would-Be Burglar.
Mr. A. M. Martin, Jr., a young attorney,
living on the south side of Gaston street,
two doors west of Lincoln, had quite an
adventure last night, or rather early this
morning. Mr. Martin and Miss Martin, his
sister, were out during the evening visiting
and did not return till late. Just before 12
o’clock Mr. Martin proceeded upstairs to Ws
room to retire. As be lit the gas he heard a
slight noise in tho closet, as if a person’s
feet were shuffled together on the floor.
Snatching a revolver from the bureau lie
opened the closet door aud demanded who
was there. “It’s only me, boss," came forth
in tremulous accents from the dark re
cess of the closet, and “only me” emergod
in the person of an ebony-huai, muscular
negro. It was the work of a moment to tie
the hands of his rather intrusive visitor,
and, with the muzzle of a good 38-calibre at
his head, the negro was compelled to de
scend the stairs. Miss Martin had heard
the noise, slight as it was,
and screamed for help. But her brother
reassured her and a messenger was sent to
the barracks for an officer, who soon came
ami relieved Mr. Martin of his police
duties. On being questioned a t the barracks
the negro gave his name as Thomas Glen or
Blen, and pretended utter ignorance of what
had happened. He also said that ho thought
lie was at his own house. His actions were
very strange, and lie tried to carry out the
idea that he was crazy. He will answer for
his “aberration of mind” at the Mayor’s
Court this morning.
CENTRAL’S DIRECTORS.
They are Having a Conference in New
York City.
The local directors of the Central railroad
received telegrams on Saturday calling them
to New York for a conference. None of
them were in tho city Sunday or yesterday,
and nothing concerning the object of the
meeting could bo learned. A special dispatch
to the Morning News from New York said
that a conference was held there yesterday
and would be continued to-day, hut uothiug
could be learned of the nature of the matter
under consideration. It was rumored, how
ever, that John H. Inman will figure hugely
in Central affairs before long. Reports
from interior Georgia towns state that there
is a demand 1 Central stock. There is a
report that there is a little lack of harmony
in the directory —the Calhouns favoring
the sale of the Central to the
Richmond Terminal people, while the
other directors object. Of course this report
must Is: taken for what it is worth. At the
close of the conference to-day it will prob
ably be known what its object was and
what was done at the meeting. That tho
conference is an important one there can he
no doubt, and that there is some movement
relating to Central’s future on foot there is
every reason to believe, or else the Georgia
directors would not have been summoned so
hastily to New York.
THE FREAK OF A CRACKER
An Atlanta Man Wanted the Ocean
Brought to Him.
An Atlanta man walked up to the clerk
of tho hotel at Tybee, on Haturday, and
wanted a key to a bath house, as the-dress
ing booths arc railed, and in exchange for
his quarter received it and u bathing dress.
The attendant on the beach showed him to
one of the little dressing rooms. About a
half au hour after the occupant
opened the door a little and called
tlic attendant to him and inquired
when the water would lie up, and was
told that it did not come up to the houses,
and if ho wanted to bathe he would have to
go out there, pointing to the surf, which
was rolling in in good style. The gentleman
from the capital replied that he was not
going out there, ami if they wanted him to
bathe the water must bo brought to the bath
house. He was told that that couldn’t he
done, and so lio put on his clothes aud left
the island much disgusted with its bathing
facilities.

MAGGIE FERRELL’S FIGHT FOR
LIBERTY.
Young Wlngard’s Case Petitioning
For Mercy For the Youthful Mur
derer—Maggie Ferrell’s Increasing
Illness—Cassidy’s Caution and Silence
—Suit Began Against Him.
Mr. Charlton, counsel for Maggie Fer
rell, was seen last night and he seemed
quite confident that liis client would be re
leased this morning.
“She is already under heavy bonds,” said
he, “and I don't see how they can hold her
any longer. Besides she is in a very pre
carious state of health, and her physician
states that the confinement is wearing on
her very much. Of course, we can’t pre
dict what course the Judge will take, but
we are very sanguine that we shall secure
her release. Regarding her guilt or inno
cence, it is not likely that a shrewd man
like Cassidy, even if he committed the deed,
would at onco inform a woman of it, as her
natural agitation and alarm would prove a
double danger.”
Mrs. Ferrell, Maggie's mother, visited the
jail yesterday, carrying some delicacies for
her daughter. The doctor was again sum
moned to attend Maggie yesterday forenoon,
as she had an attack of severe vomiting.
Nothing can be retained on her stomach,
and she is very weak from her enforced
lasting. Medical aid lias been extended
freely, but her mental condition I*so un
settled that the treatment has had little ef
fect towards helping her. Insomnia also
troubles her, and the naps she gets in the
day time are about her only resting
spells. Last evening she began to prepare
for going into court to-day, and the near
prospect of a possible release helped to
cheer her up and make her forget her pres
ent position. Doubtless a very large at
tendance will lx> at the court room this
morning, as the case has become so sensa
tional in all its details and has lieen so freely
written up that all are anxious to see the
alleged accomplice.
CASSIDY STILL QUIET.
Cassidy is conducting his own case, and,
as an attorney said last night, “He is doing
it well, too, for lie keeps his mouth shut.”
No one lias boon allowed to see or talk to
him, and at the jail the most rigorous means
are used to keep him in perfect seclusion,
and to keep the reporters from
securing any word from him,
eve- on topics not directly affecting the
cr,,iio. He passes the time quietly, and seems
disposed to await the action of the authori
ties without any objections. Misfortunes
never come singly, as probably Cassidy has
learned ere this. Yesterday in Justice Naugh
tiii’s court, T. West & Cos., began a suit
against him for crockery and glassware
furnished him for liis barroom.
Half of a small handkerchief was
found at Tybee Sunday and handed to Mr.
Mike Hanley, who forwarded it to Coroner
Dixon, thinking it had some connection with
the late tragedy there. It is about eight
inches long by four wide, and it is half
of a child's cheap handkerchief. It lias a
colored border, about ono inch wide, com
posed of red diamond-shaped spots, and is
of coarse material. It is very unlikely that
it has any connection whatever with the
case.
GROUNDS FOR A NEW TRIAL.
Willie Wingard has not yet been brought
up for sentence, and Mr. 8. B. Adams, his
counsel, not lining satisfied with the verdict,
has the matter of moving for anew trial
under advisement. He thinks there is good
ground for it not only because of the severity
of the verdict, but also because of the nature
of the evidence. Ho says Willie is not the
hardened case depicted by the prosecution,
but that he is a stead} - young boy, who was
goaded beyond endurance by the story
of his mother’s wrongs. Willie
assured liis counsel, solemnly, that he
fired the first shot to awaken Thomas and
then shot to kill. Mr. Adams thinks public
opinion should not lie turned against the
lad as it naturally prejudices the case. Re
garding the jury, continued Mr. Adams,
there was one juror who declared before he
went on the jury that the boy ought to be
hung. At the lirst polling of the jury, said
Mr. Adams, four were for acquittal, one for
murder, and two others for murder with a
recommendation to mercy. The others were
for manslaughter. If anew trial is granted
new and important evidence will be intro
duced.
THE CULPRIT IN FAIR HEALTH.
Willie is now suffering from catarrh, and
in various other ways is not standing the
confinement well, it is said. The jail physi
cian, however, declares him to be in fair
health. He passed most of his time yester
day, in the meal intervals, sitting in the cor
ridor. His favorite attitude is to sit with
hi:; elbows on his knees and the palms of his
hands supporting his head. His mother and
aunt call on him daily and bring him abun
dance of food.
Late last night it was rumored that a
petition was being circulated asking mercy
for young Wingard, the same to be pre
sented to Judge Adams before sentence is
pronounced. Sentence will hardly be pro
nounced before Saturday, it is” thought,
giving his attorney till that time to enter
his motion for anew trial, if he deems it
best.
Charleston Chapters.
Two hoi-ses of the Enterprise Railway fell
down in W ashington street Snnday, over
come by the heat, and one also succumbed in
John street. They died in a fow minutes.
The reunion of the Alumni Association, of
Wallingford Academy, took place at Wal
lingford Presbyterian Church, Meeting
street, yesterday afternoon. An interesting
programme had been arranged and the oc
casion was doubtless highly entertaining.
The body of John Grimes was found Sun
day on Drum Island marsh, about a thous
and yards from where he was drowned, Tho
body was very mucii disilgurod by the ac
tion of the water and the work of crabs and
fishes. The accidental drowning of the lad
was so clearly proved that the coroner
waived an inquest, and the body will be
carried to Branchville for interment.
Charleston, after a lay-off of nearly two
weeks, entered the diamond again yesterday
afternoon for a series of sixteen straight
games at home. Tho club has gained in
stead of lost ground by their enforced ab
sence from tho diamond, and now have a
strong hold on third place. There is still a
considerable gap between them and tho
loaders, anil even should the locals win a
large majority or all of the games they are
about to play at home it will scarcely give
them more than a neck and neck place in
tho race.
Excursions for the benefit of the Order of
Railway Conductors were run to Charleston
j cstordnv from all points on the Houth Car
olina Railway, and today from points on
the Charleston and Savannah Railway and
on the Northeastern Railroad. Great energy
and enterprise Imve I teen displayed by the con
ductors in g, tting up the excursions, and ail
immense influx of.visitors was expected from
the interior of the States. The excursionists
were brought down on four trains which ar
rived in Charleston between 10and 11 o'clock
yesterday morning. Two of these trains
were specials from Camden and the Barn
well road and the other two were the reg

GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines.
The Wadesboro and Winnsboro Railroad
Company has been organized to build a line
from Wadesboro, N. C., to Winnsboro, S. C.
The Atlanta and Hawkinsville Railroad
Company have contracted with the Rhode
Island Locomotive Works for locomotives.
They will weigh 00,000 pounds.
Competent judges who have seen the
work pronounce the Sheffield and Birming
ham raihoad not excelled by any in the
South. Tho bridge work and ballasting are
said to be especially fine.
The Bii-mingham Age says: “The Louis
ville and Nashville railroad, in view of the
great increase of traffic on their line, have
contracted for immediate construction for
twenty-one locomotives and 500 cars.
Forty-five railroad mon were examined
in Birmingham, Saturday. Not one of them
proved color blind. So far, among all those
examined seventeen were found who could
not distinguish colors sufficiently to obtain
certificates.
The general offices of the Eufaula and
Western railroad of Alabama have been
moved to Caiiarsville from Cedartown.
General Manager Postell, of this road, is
now in New York arranging to commence
the work of broadening the gauge of his
road to Cedartown within the next sixty
days.
The Arkansas Supreme Court has affirmed
the constitutionality of the act of the last
Legislature reducing railway passenger fart*
to lie. per mile. Arkansas is a thinly settled
State and its inhabitants are not much given
to travel nor to the patronage of railways
in other respec ts, as the number of railway
foreclosure sales indicates. The new law
will place a serious problem before the roads,
and it will remain to be seen whether the
increase of travel will to any extent make
up for the enforced reduction of rates.
Some two months ago a temporary in
junction was granted R. W. W ttherow, of
Leeds, in the Birmingham City Court, re
straining the Columbus and Western Rail
way Company from laying a track on the
street in front of his property. Upon a
hearing Saturday Judge Sharp denied a
motion to dissolve the injunction, where
upon an apjieal was taken to the Supreme
Court. The question involved is of a prop
erty owner’s rights to damages in this situa
tion, seems to be anew one in the law of
that State, and naturally is an interesting
one to the lawyers.
Maj. J. A. A. West, General Manager of
the Birmingham and Atlantic, had a long
conference yesterday morning with Col.
Fleming and Maj. Owens, of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railroad, with regard
to making an arrangement by which their
road would receive and ship his iron, bridges
and railroad material, the Short Line to
use its own locomotives and cars in trans
porting its material to its junction with the
Savannah, Florida and Western. The ample
wharfage and domain of the Savannah,
Florida and Western gives facilities for han
dling, not only tho construction material,
but the entire toanage of the Birmingham
and Atlantic when their business is fully
established.
Eufaula (Ala.) Mail: There was a meet
ing on Monday last in this city of the direc
tors of the Eufaula and St. Andrew’s Bay
Railroad Company. Tho profiles and maps
of the road, as furnished by the surveyors,
were laid before the meeting and fully dis
cussed, and the Board of Directors then in
structed the President to take the profiles
and maps and proceed at once to New’ York,
and negotiate with capitalists for sufficient
funds to build and equip the road from Eu
faula to St. Andrews Bay. That Maj.
Reeves will succeed in placing the bonds of
the road for the amount of money required,
is confidently hop*si and expected, and if he
does so succeed then of course the building
■of the road becomes an assured fact, and
the work of construction will begin forth
with.
The three “C’s” trill build the Georgia and
Carolina Midland to Augusta. This is what
the chief engineer and principal attorney
both say, or what they said to one of the
two engineers sent to Augusta to go over
the route from there to Newberry, lowering
the grade for standard gauge purposes and
changing the route in one or two sections
1 >etween Augusta and Edgefield. The engin
eers start out over the line to-day. They are
Messrs. Butler and Whittier, of the regular
corps of engineers of the three C's company.
The engineers will complete their work on
the line between Augusta and Newberry by
the time that an extension is located in the
direction of Yorkville and Gaffny City.
Both places want tho road, and it will be
built straight to Augusta and connect, when
completed at that point, with Charleston
over the South Carolina railroad.
