ASHORE ONTIIE BREAKER
THE ITALIAN BARK EMILIO CIAM
PA DRIVEN AGROUND.
Tho Crew Mutinies and Deserts the
Ship—Pilot John Fitzgerald Assaulted
with a Stiletto— Cutter
Boutwell Goes to Her Assistance,
But Loses an Anchor-The Tug Cam
bria Effects the Rescue.
Tho Italian bark Emilio Ciainpu, Capt.
Cafiero, was (trail(led on the north breaker
la the inner road yesterday morning while
she was trying to beat out to sea, and the
veasel pounded badly, though she did not
take water. She was deserted by her crew,
and would have lieen lost had the
tag Cambria not gone to her assistance,
and towed her to sale anchorage.
Saturday afternoon the tug Constitution
took her in tow for the purpose of trrwing the
vessel to sea. They arrived off the bell
buoy between G and 7 o'clock that evening,
and the Captain instructed the pilot, John
Fitzgerald, that he did not wish the tug any
further, but that he. the pilot, should take
the vessel to sea. Sho was then anchored
and the tug left her.
TUB VESSEL MISSTAYED.
Yesterday morning she again got under
way and was 1 (raring out to sea, when she
struck just inside the north breaker. Capt.
Fitzgerald says that she had made three
tacks and was on the fourth when the
trouble commenced. About 8 o'clock in the
morning in trying to go aUiut she mis
stuyed and fell off, and before she came to
ogam she struck in Swash channel, just in
side North breaker, in four fathoms of
water. Both anchors were let go and she
was held fast. In making the fourth tack
the crew did not work quickly
enough. There were none nlmard who
could understand English, and there was
an utter lack of disepline among them, as
they all appeared to lie capfqjns of the ves
sel: aud at the time they idiouM have been
carrying out the pilot’-; orders they|wcre for
ward casting the anchor.
A MUTIXOUS CREW.
When the crew heard tho vessel foundering
on the bottom they became unruly and
mutinous. They would not listen to orders
from either ‘ the captuin or the
pilot. They made for the fore
castle, and securing their dunnage
dashed for the boats. They took Capt,.
Fitzgerald's skiff and rowed out. to the pilot
boat, F. M. Jones, and were taken aboard.
Nothing could be done for the Ciampa, for
there was not a man who would touch a
line or go near her wlten once they
got away. Cant. Fitzgerald sounded the
pumi>s and finding that there wus no water
in the hold he went aboard the pilot boat
and started to Tybee in search of the
revenue cutter. The Italian crew of the
Ciamiw was noisy and boisterous,
and their dark faces grew darker with
anger every time they saw Caul. Fitzgerald.
Nothing could lie done with them for each
•seemed to be as much of a captain as he who
boro that title and they obeyed no one’s
orders.
AN ASSAULT WITH A STILETTO.
They all seemed to think that it
was Capt. Fitzgerald instead of
themselves who was restxinsible for
the accident and their anger at him
was plainly depicted on their faces,
but the pilot had no idea that any of them
meditated an attack upon him until one
fellow sprang at him with a stiletto. Fitz
gerald was watching the coiyee of tho lioat
and would have lieen killed on the Instant
had not tho Captain and mate of
the Ciampa noticed the movement of the
murderous seaman. They saw it in time,
however, and before he reached the pilot
they caught end disarmed him. They
threw him on the deck of the boat and oc
cupied the next few minutes in
giving him a sound lioating. Shortly after
tills incident ocnuTod Tyboewax reached and
the cutter Boutwell was found with Incuts.
Goodwin and Morissy aboard of her. Capt.
Fitzgerald told them of the condition of the
Ciaui]ia, and after they hud taken the Ital
ian crew aboard they nut off Pi render what
assistance they could. Lieut. Goodwin,
after bearing of the assault on the pilot,
offered Pi put the fellow in irons, but the
Captain thought there was no more danger
to be apprehended from that quarter after
tho pummelling the man had rocoivod, so he
was allowed his liberty.
THE CUTTER LOST HER ANCHOR.
A stiff southeaster was blowing when the
cutter reached the stranded bark, and the
sea was running high, but a lioat was sent
out.and the boat's crew rowed around to the
leeward side and went abroad. The vessel
wax pounding badly. Tho masts were rook
ing so the crew expected them to go over
the side every minute. Finding that notli
frur oould be done there they returned to
lift) cutter and Pick out a hawser, which
they made fast Pi the bark. The
signal woh given and tho cutter started
to weigh her anchor, hut the
chain parted and she lost her anchor ami
thirty fathoms of chain. The gale blew
her around and was driving her right on
the Iwirk, so the lmws-r had pi lie shipped
and the attempt givf-n up. The captain
mid part of her crew were put on board
the tuirk, but the balance refused to return
and raniained on the cutter.
THE TUG TO THE RESCUE.
The sea was so rough that the crew of the
cutter’s boat could not be taken aboard, so
they rowed inside of Tybee Knoll, whore
they were picked up. About 5 o’clock the
tug Cambria hove in sight, towing the
schooner Clara E. Bergen from Port Royal,
and Capt Avery, observing the position of
the Ciampa. anchored tho schooner ami
went out to the bark. Ho found tlte captain,
pilot and part of the crow alioard. A
hawser was made lost, but tho
bark could not lie paved up P> her anchor
so the pilot slipped the anchor and buoyed
it, and tho Cambria then towed tho vessel
inp> Tybee inner roads, where her remaining
anchor was dropped. Capt. Fitzergald
came to the city last night on the tug. Tho
Ciampa is now lying in tho inner roads, hut
she will probably have to coma up to the
city and discharge.

JULY’S WEATHER RECORD
The Storm Signal Ordered Down at Sa
vannah. •
July weather was peculiar in many re
spects. The temperature was very variable,
though generally high, and the rainfall
and the cyclone period made it a remarka
ble month. Savannah had 4.73 inches of
rainfall for the month, a small amount com
paratively, and .40 inches below the aver
age for the last fifteen years. Of this 2.87
inches fell tho first weak, from July 2 till
the oth. In the cyclone period, of throe
days, Savannah had a rainfall of 1.C4
inches, Augusta 5.04, Atlanta 8.44, and
Cedar Keys, Fla., 7.05 inches. The rainfall
in the cotton licit was quite heavy. The
Savannah district received a fair show,
Bainbridge reporting 5.65 inches for the
month, Albany 2.57, and Quitman 3.20.
The rainfall for the entire State was unusu
ally heavy and in many places the
Hoods occasioned by tho heavy and
continued rains created much damage.
During tho earlier part of the month the
rain was confined to tho coast section, but
during the latp-r all sections in the Blate
hud uuip'.e rains.
SOME TALI. TEMPERATURES.
The P-mpernturo was high all the month,
aud at times ranged exceedingly high. On
July 18 the highest degree was registered,
102 being recorded. The lowest was on
July 7, when tho mercury touched G'.i . The
highest average for the last sixteen years is
81i\ The warmest weather was between
July 17 anand
recorded above normal for the
last sixteen years. Tho monthly average
was 2" below the average for the same
lioriod. Thirteen thunder storms occurred
during the month, eight of which were ac
companied by rain. Thane cooled the at
mosphere exceedingly. Without them the
heated term would have had a larger list of
fatalities.
The barometric conditions in Savannah
have been uuiforpi except in the cyclone
period, when it reached its lowest point,
30.78. The cyclone has retired
to ths gulf again. It re
traced its steps after leaving Savannah, and
yesterday afternoon was reported in South
ern Alabama, near Montgomery. The in
dications point to a resumption of its travels
ere long, northeast being tho probable
course it will take.
VESTEUDAY’B RECORD.
The maximum temperature in Savannah
yesterday was 86.2% tne minimum 75.5% and
the average 80.3 , Ix.dng 1.7° below tho
average for the lust fifteen years. Jesup
reported the highest temperature in this dis
trict, tho mercury climbing up to DO”.
Thomasvillo reported the unusually low
maximum temperature of 75”. Tile'Little
Rock, Ark., district, ten stations, gives the
average temperature as 1(M , which would
tend to give some of tho towns a swelter.
New Orleans, Galveston and Memphis, In

BUILDING JOTTINGS.
July Permits—Haudsome Residences
Now Being Erected.
July is always an off month as regards
stal ling new buildings, and, therefore, the
■ list of permits is smaller than usual. TLe
j follow ing i stria its were granted during
■ July: W. EL Prendergost, one two-story
! wooden house, tin roof, Duffy street; T. F.
Malloy, one two-story wooden bouse
on Gwinnett; Mrs. " 8. E. Free
man, one two-story wooden house,
tin roof, on Bolton; Joseph O
Walsh, one one-story wooden house. St.
Thomas street; Frank Geeks, one one-story
wooden house, tin roof, Price street; C. J.
Hull, one one-story wood® house, metal
roof, Bolton Street lane; E. J. Kieffer, one
two-story wooden house on Gwinnett.
Permits were granted to J. J. McGowan
Pi repuir house on CongreSß street, to John
H. llclinken to rejioir honse on Whitaker
street, and to Mrs. M. H. Harper to add a
kitchen to her residence on Gordon street.
Building, however, is brisk, and the arch
itects are busy over new plans. It is prob
able that tills fall will witness a vast in
crease iu the number of new buildings, resi
dences and stores. A number of very hand
some residences are now going up in the
central part of the city, and several are
very pretty specimens of architecture.
Mr. Louis Kay ton's new residence, corner
Drayton and Hall, will be a fine building,
and add a deal to tho appearance of that
section. It w ill cot #25,000 to $30,000. It
will be two-stories high, and contain some
fourteen rooms. The interior will bo hand
somely finished off, aud the exterior will bo
of striking design.
Mr. J. la. Hammond’s residence on Gaston
street is another tine building, aad will cost
probably about the same amount), *
-Mr. J. A. (i. Carson Is putting up a
beautiful Quoen Anno stylo house, with
slate roof, to cost nliout SO,OOO.
Mr. J. P. Williams will erect another
very handsomely designed residence, comer
Hall and Howard, to cost $13,000.
Mr. George J. Baldwin’s now residence,
corner Drnyxm and Hall streets, will be a
very handsome one. The plans are for an
elaborate structure, and the finishings will
be elegant. It is expected that it will cost
S3O,OtX) to $36,000.
The Meiuhard building on Broughton
street is probably the most expensive build
ing finished here this summer. It will be a
fine block and will cost probubly $40,000 or
over, all told.
It is thought that next month will wit
ness an increased impetus in building mat
ters us several parties are now having plans
prepared for them.
GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money und Management
About Various Lines.
McVille, Ga., is working for the proposed
extension of the Americas, Preston and
Lumpkin railroad.
Tho surveying corps of the Savannah,
Dublin and Western railroad are now in
Cochran, having surveyed a line from
Hawkiusville to that place.
Changes are to tie made among the work
ing force of the Georgia railroad to-day.
The resignation of Mr. John Lombard goes
into effect, having been accepted by the au
thorities. Mr Lombard has been one of
the Georgia’s valued employes, and he has
most acceptably filled the position of yard
master in Augusta.
Judge W. B. Thomas, of Athens, has se
cured a charter to the Tennessee, Carolina
and Georgia road under the general law of
the Htate. The bill before the Legislature
for the same purpose will not be withdrawn,
but on the contrary will be paused. If the
road secures a charter from the General
Assembly it will have then two charters,
and can select either one to act under.
Eight wagon loads of material, consisting
of tools, implements aud provisions, with a
big gang of hands, went out last week from
Atlanta to work on the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad, in Houston and Doo
ley counties. The work on the road is pro
gressing finely, and news from Tifton,
states that u large force of bauds are at
work both ways from that point. The con
tractors seem to mean business. Messrs.
Willis G. Hpurks and James H. Campbell
are in New York to purchase iron and loco
motives for the new road, and it will not bo
long before trains will be put on.
The eastern extension of the Americus,
Preston and Lumpkin railroad is reaching
out rapidly toward Abbeville, and with
nothing to prevent, the roud will reach
there within the next throe or four weeks.
Track-laying lias been completed to a ]Kiiut
thirteen miles east of Coney and forty miles
distant from Americus, and as the work is
being done at the rate of over a mile per
day it will not bo long before the eastern
boundary of Wilcox county will have been
reached and passed. “On to Savannali is
now tho watchword,” says the Amoricu.s
Recorder, “and we’ll get there before
another twelve months roll around, mark
it.”
“There has been a great deal of specula
tion going on as to what will bo the result
of the recent deal In the Buena Vista and
Ellaville railroad, and what ejjfect it will
have on the promised extension to Colum
bus,” says the Buena Vista Patriot. “Some
have expressed tho .opinion now that
Aniericus lias got the eastern ter
minus of the road, and control over
it, the extension to Columbus will
not Ik* made, but the road will lie used
os a local feeder for that city. Such an
idea, however, seohis to us as short-sighted.
When we take into consideration the great
benefit Aniericus would derive from a
direct western outlet, and tho imjiortanoe
it would give her as a trailing centra, she
would certainly not t*> deprived of these
advantages for the sake of the difference in
loeul trade. We may be*wrong in our con
jectures, but it seems to us that this move
ment is simply the first step on the part of
the Central read to get control of tjio Buena
Vista and Ellaville road. It has already
been announeod that I‘resident Alexander
intended to extend the road to Columbus,
and ho lias given orders to liavo the survey
made. It, is reasonable to suppose that the
Central does not w ant a short piece of road
running from hero to Columbus unless it
Ims control of the line from here to Ameri
ous, uud operate the two us one line. It is
our candid opinion that tlie road will be ex
toado l to Columbus, and that this change in
directorship points to that fact. There is
another very strong evidence t hat the road
will Ik* extruded to Columbus. We have
learned Indirectly from J. W. Forrester,
deputy revenue collector, that Messrs, liar
roid, Johnson A Cos,, of Anturlons, have
taken out license to sell cigars and tobacco
on tliu train lietween Aniericus and Colum
bus. Mr. Hnrrohi also a*sin\sl tho directors
that the mad would be extended to Colum
bus us soon us jMisailile He is one of the
Central directors and knows whereof lie
speaks,"

AFRAID OF THE FLOOD.
RICE PLANTERS ANXIOUS ABOUT
THEIR CROPS.
What They Think of the Chances of
Escape—The Storm in the Gulf a Con
stant Menace-The CondiQon of the
Plantations Along the River—Argrybs
Island Poorly Protected.
The rice planters are very much disturbed
over the prospects of a freshet, though they
are taking the matter calmly, as it will lie
not lew than a week from to-day tiefore the
high water will begin to make its appear
ance here. At present they are anxiously
watching tho reports from the flooded
district to form an estimate of what the
volumo of water is. TJjey do not regard
the height to which it rises iu Augusta so
much as tho length of time it remains
above the freshet mark, for the lutter indi
cates the volume, and gives some idea of
what may Le exjiected here.
At midnight last night the water bad
been above the freshet mark for forty-three
hours, and that made the planters uneasy.
If it stands at that height tor another day it
will mean that there is water enough
in the river to hazard the safety of all the
plantations that ure not thoroughly protect
ed. The storm that is lingering around the
Gulf makes all probabilities rather uncer
tain, however, as a good deal
depouds upon its actions. If it re
mains there and is dissipated the
water may run out fast enough
to leave but little danger of a flood unless
the ruins continue in the region above Au
gusta and through the mountains, but if the
storm takes a northeast course and comes
up this way there will probably be the
largest and most disastrous freshet that has
ever been known. Tho water is standing
at a higher point now in Augusta than it
has ever reached before, though the volume
is not so great as it has been. The hope is
that the river will fall rapidly aud tho vol
umo of water -will be reduced before it
reaches this section.
The marshes will take a great deal of the
water and afford an immense relief in that
way. The sap is now running and overy
tree and every leaf acts as a pmnp, and the
amount of evaporation that will take place
from the 340 miles of marshes that will have
to be overflowed before any danger can
como to the lower river plantations is enor
mous. The marshes are very dry, and it
will take un incalculable umouut of
water to fill them und that must
be done before the * flood can come
lower down the river than they are. It is
difficult at present to tell whut the chances
are as there are so many contingencies
to be considered that it is impossible to form
an idea of what the result will be, but the
planters all hope and believe that tho river
will begin now to fall and that tho nu riiies
will act as a safety valve to let off the sur
plus water and prevent all extensive over
flow'. The high water will reach the planta
tions at neap tide, and that too, will be an
advantage as it will givo about two feet
more to work < in.
The plantations on the upper part of
Argyle Island will ail lie overflowed if the
freshet amounts to anything at all. They
ure not protected hy eiubunkinonts aud the
water will have free access to them, but the
planting is not very extensive there as the
damage done by iast year’s freshet has
rather discouraged the planters, uud except
what the negroes have grown tiiero is but
little to be injured.
Except the Potter and Gibson plantations,
those on tho lower purt of the island are
not, protected sufficiently, und a freshet
would be most disastrous. The Potter and
Gibson places and those on the South Caro
lina shore are thoroughly well protected by
freshet lianks. which are in good order and
capable of withstanding any flood thut will
come dowu.

NASHVILLE NOWHERE.
New Orloana Makes 14 Runs in Two
Innings by Hard Hitting.
New Orleans, July 31.— New Orleans
jumped on to Alexander in the first two
innings, and Nashville got rattled, and gave
him miserable support. The consequence
was thut New Orleans got in fourteen runs.
After that the game was very pretty, and
Nashville shut New Orleans out for seven
innings. Ewing did not pitch hard after
tho second Inning, depending upon
his magnificent support. In the
sixth, however, the bunching of four hits
yielded three earned runs. The features
wore Fuller's work at short, nulling down
two hits by one-handed catches in the air,
Reeder’s catch of Cartwright’s hit, the
longest of tho game, and Vaughn’s catch

doing nil the catching for Nashville. There

Is What Tennessee Can Say to the
State of Georgia.
From the Chattanooga Times.
Tall trees from little aoorns grow. If the
truth were known it would be ascertain* and
that the recent excitement in Georgia over
the proposed sale of the Western and At
lantic railroad and its belongings, which
has aroused and divided the State from end
to end and been the main topic of discus
sion in the State journals, was the big tree
from a seemingly small acorn, said acorn
being nothing more or less than a promi
nent Chattanooga attorney, large sulH
CMmtly, but small compared to the excite
ment occasioned by the sale of the road, as
ordered by the Legislature of Georgia.
The story gleaned by a reporter runneth
thus:
During February of the present year a
prominent Chatt moogan wanted to secure
the property on Georgia avenue and Tenth
street belonging to IHe State of Georgia,
and desiring to deal direct with the execu
tive liead of the State, dispatched one of our
leading attorneys to Atlanta to negotiate
for the purchase’ with Gov. Gordon.
The lawyer waited upon his excellency in
the executive office in the capit.il anil forth
with stated the object of his errand. Gov)
Gordon, cautious in all things, claimed he
could not enter into a trado without first rt -
eeiving an order from the Legislature for tl e
sale of the property. This brought about a
discussion regarding the title the State of
Georgia bad to the property, and in the
conversation an idea dawned upon the mind
of the Chattaiioogau which he straightway
gave to the governor in n “brief ” style,
Ido said: “The right of way of the
AVestem and Atlantic road, includ
ing the Union depot grounds
of eleven acres, was con
veyed by various parties to the State of
Georgia. The territorial limits of this State
were fixed when it was admitted into the
Union, and for it to be able to acquire a
title to any real estate beyond the limits as
fixed, would be to permit it to change its
boundary lines ad libitum, which it cannot
do under the constitution of the United
States without the consent of the Legisla
tures of the two States concerned, as well as
of Congress; further, if the State of Georgia
has the title to the land in question then it
hns absolute dominion and sover
eignty over it; powers of police regula
tons, etc., to the exclusion and wholly
independent of the State of Tennessee,
and if an offense should be committed by
any one on the land in question the offender
would have to be held amennblu therefore
to the laws of Georgia and not Tennessee,
as there can bo but one sovereignty over the
•same. The question then naturally arises:
In whom is the title to the land vested? It
must, revert to the original venders to the
State of Georgia, as the State cannot hold
it, else it must escheat to the State of
Tennessee—most likely to the latter.”
As the attorney concluded his remarkable
verbal brief, his distinguished auditor
evinced considerable interest and ejaculated
something like, “Well, there is considerable
in that,isn’t there !” Further along he evinced
surprise tlmt the matter had trot before been
put in this light by able legal lights who had
interests in the matter. Before the luwyer
left the Executive office a messenger was
sent by tile Governor to the Attorney Gen
eral requesting an immediate audience.
AVhother the Attorney General was wanted
relative to the matter the attorney did not
say, as he was ignorant, but in all proba
bility this was tne main topic of eonversa
tion between the Governor and his legal ad
viser. Conjecture would also point to the
fact that the Attorney General agroixl with
the Clmttanoogan, arid as a consequence the
Legislature of Georgia commenced a scheme
to rid herself of her Chattanooga “white
elephant.”
The property in question is far from being
insignificant, representing fully $1,000,1 Km,
not a bad stake for Tennessee to gobble.
Upon what is known as Georgia land
stands the Western and Atlantic depot, the
new block of buildings recently erected on
Ninth streot, the triangle at the corner of
Touth aud Georgia avenuo, and should the
matter ever be given consideration it would
affect the union depot, the Nashville and
Chattanooga depot, the Palace Hotel, and
the entire tract of land known as the Nash
ville Flats, this property having been sold
by Georgia.
NeVer before has thero been any attention
called to the validity of Georgias title and
the question aside from any litigation
which mijjht arise is an interesting one le
gaily. It the land is Georgia land it must
certainly be under the jurisdiction of Geor
gia and if such is the case the occupants are
Georgians. Atlanta can swell her [State's
population by including these residents in
the next census. Prohibitionists bad also
better look out, for in the event Tennessee
goe< dry, Georgia lands on Ninth street will
lie dotted with bars and the boys will take a
trip to Georgia for a drink.
The Chattanooga lawyer referred to is a
leading member of the Chattanooga bar
and the counsel for one of the largest cor
porations in the country. He is confident
his view is a correct one and claims that tlio
courts will sustain him in his opinion.
The work on the extension of the Buena
A r ista and Eliaville railroad from LaCrosso
to An'.orieus is being pushed forward at a
rapid rate. There are nearly 500 liantls at
work, and the stations, as the divisions of
work are called, are all taken from La-
Crosso to Atnericus. Mr. Payne, the civil
engineer who has charge of the work, thinks
he will have the road complete to Amorims
within forty days. Mr. Payne will begin
the survey on the Columbus extension early
next week, anil work will be begun on this
extension as soon as the survey is complete.
The roail will probably go via Cusseta and
then direct to Columbus, ami not by Jones’
Crossing, but this question will not be de
cided until the meeting of the directors of
the Central Railroad Company.

PROTECT OMB BREAD.
The machinery of the law cannot be put at work too speedily
or too vigorously against the wholesale adulteration of the things
we eat. Both the health and the pockets of the people demand
protection.
There is no article of food in general use more wickedly adul
terated than the lower grades of baking powder.
For raising bread, biscuit or other food only the very best and
purest baking powder should be employed. The use of the ordin
ary cream of tartar, or of baking powders containing lime, alum and
phosphates, carries deleterious ingredients into the food to the
prejudice of the life and health of the consumer.
The sale of adulterated baking powders has been prohibited
by statute in several localities. It will be in the interests of the
public health when their sale is made a misdemeanor everywhere,
and the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced.
Tho ordinary baking powder contains either lime, which,
introduced into the system in too free quantities, causes serious dis
orders of the kidneys; alum, a corrosive poison, or lime phosphates,
which are condemned by physicians as deleterious in their effect
when taken under certain physical conditions. The Royal is the
only baking powder on the market that is free from lime,
alum and phosphates, and absolutely pure.
Tho absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder makes it
pre-eminently the most useful and wholesome leavening agent
known. Containing no lime, alum, phosphate or other impurity 5
it leaves no alkaline or other residuum in the food, and its use
always insures pure, light and sweet bread, biscuit and cake, that
are perfectly digestible and wholesome whether hot or cold, fresh
or stale. Its leavening power has been determined the highest
whenever tested by official authority, and all chemists and writers
on food hygiene commend it for its sterling qualities.
We
Sincerely hope that our friends and the
public generally will not only buy a ticket
at tlie benefit to be given our young and
talented actor, Mr. Lawrence Hanley, but
that they will attend the performance, aud
we will guarantee a pleasant evening spent.
