8 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 hiring the riUum*r some years ego. THROUGH THE CITY. ! Items Gathered Here and There by the Nows Reporters. The Savannah Gaslight Company lias de clared a dividend of 2-8 per cent., payable on and after Wednesday. The colored Masons had a parade last evening, escorting tno Grand Lodge ofllcers to their lodge room, where a session was held. The adjourned meeting of tho ex-Confed erates will be held iu the court house at 8:80 o’clock to-night. The committee will make its report. Tile members of the Isle of Hope Yacht Club will hold a meeting to-day at Com. Di-mere’s office to make arrangements for the August regatta. The Savannah Cadets have their picnic to-day at Greenwich Park. Baskets saint to the Coast Line railroad junction, with name attached, will be cared for by the com mittee. The Italian bark Emilio Ciampa arrived below in tow of a tug from Charleston to load naval stores for the Mediteranean. She has already 500 barrels of rosin in, part of her cargo, to steady her. Messrs. A. R Salas <St Cos., cleared yes terday the Norwegian bark Gudvang fold Dnntzeg with li, 188 barrels of rosin weigh -1,410,'.1:15 pounds, valued at $5,088 Cargo by Messrs. Paterson, Downing & Cos. The Salvationists are trying to secure another hall in the city and start the army again. As their treasury is rather low, and two of their leaders are in bondage, it is hardly possible that they will succeed. Anna Baker, colored, of Isle of Hope, was brought up yesterday and lodged in jail, on a warrant issued by Justice \V aring Russell, changing her with stealing a watch and chain, and sl2 from one Turner John son. The steamer Pilot Boy brought over a negro excursion from Beaufort alxiut 2 o’clock yesterday and returned late in the afternoon. The steamer Pope Catlin left yesterday morning with a negro excursion for Beaufort. Tho ladies of St. John’s church will re peat the entertainment they gave some time ago at the Parish Hall tonight. The pro gramme consists in the display of the won derful “Peak Family” of Alaska and an operetta entitled “Cups and Saucers.” Dr. J. B. Read, who has a plantation on the Louisville road, had sixty bushels of fine pears stolen therefrom Friday night last. They were traced to a certain point and Detective Wetherhorn, says he has spotted the 1 -arty and will arrest him soon. Miss Ida Sternberg, who went to New York some days ago to visit her uncle, Mr. Nathan Rogers, was robbed of about SI,OOO worth of diamonds, which were taken from her trunk in her uncle's house. What Miss Sternberg missed most was a diamond en gagement ring. Daniel Simmons and Thomas Yeomans were arrested yesterday for disorderly con duct. Hannah Morgan, John Field and Willie Morgan were arrested at 10 o’clock last evening for fighting. Anna Moore drauk more bad liquor than she ought to and became very obstreperous at the Mar ket and was hauled in by the police. The Italian brig Holiecito, which arrived at Port Royal July 2, leaking, had only a half inch of water instead of five feet as previously stated. Bhe is apparently un damaged, but she lost an anchor. Mr. Tra pani, of the firm of A. R. Salas & Cos., rep resenting the Italian Underwriters, went over to Port Royal, anil returned yesterday. The vessel is now under general average. Mr. Trapani says that after a survey if any damage is found she will lie brought hero for repairing. A pilot boat crew, without a pilotjon board, rendered tho brig assistance in getting into port, and now claim between #3OO and S4OO salvage. 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. NOTES FROM THE COURTS. Cases Heard in the Superior and City Courts. The Superior Court was occupied all day witli the Reilly Insurance case, which was concluded after a trial that occupied ten days. The arguments were made aud the case was given to the jury. In the City Court the case of W. S. Cherry vs. F. A. Fleming, maker, and Percy Olinstead, indorser, a suit on a promissory note drawn for $3OO, was tried. Tim defendant admitted a debt of 81(K), hut denied the other $2OO, and the verdict of the jury was for the plaintiff in the sum of $lOO and interest. William Ktokos was acquitted of the charge of stealing, but sent to the chain gang for twelve months for vagrancy. William Williams was given thirty days in the chain-gang for assaulting Miude Kiser.

A Well Known Charleston Journalist Suddenly Passes Away. The telegraph has already announced the death in Charleston, on Sunday afternoon, of Mr. J. I). liudds, a gentleman well known throughout the country as a news paper man, und who hail many friends in I Savannah. Ho was born in the county of Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1838. Ho arrived in Charleston when he was 19 years of ugc and had lived in that city since then. l!e v..is at one time connected with the Ctiurlauton Ht.uidavd anil afterword with the iffiTurtj.

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. VICTORY FOR CHARLESTON. She Plays an Errorless Game and Beats the Pelicans. Charleston, July 18. —A large excursion from the interior swelled the crowd at l ose ball park to over 3,000 to-day to witness the opening game with New Orleans. Every available inch in the |iark was occupied, notwithstanding tiio fact that the ther mometer stood at 108* in the shade. A finer game has seldom been witnessed at tlic park.

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 ular trams from Columbia and Augusta. The four trains comprised about twenty nine coaches, with accommodations for l.fiOO people and they were taxed to their utmost capacity. Central Hotel, Rome, Ga.

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. Local Personal. C. M.
