8 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. THROUGHJTHE CITY.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ing.

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.

Appel & Hchaul 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.
