MORE WARM WEATHER
Yesterday’* Anas tor and the Pros
pects for To-tle.y.
Yesterday was a roaster and the perspir
ing people who had U> bo nut under the
sun’s rays yearned for a blizmrd or some
thing to cool off the atmosphere. Tho max
imum temperature -vai Ikr and the average
Bb* which was 5* above the average for the
last lb years. Too indications too, lust
tughv. |iol:ito 1 to a continuation of the hot,
wave, though some rain may fall. The
ti mi craturo in this district was very high,

T:in FALLING FLOOD.
Th Water Rvpidlf Bunin? Out—Tho
Condition of tho Flooded District.
The freshet yrob—day had fallen alxuit
two feet at the rai'i’oa.f bridge, but planters
were on the lookout for the third freshet,
which is duo hero to-day or to-morrow. The
general impression is that while now there
is a slight prospect of saving some of the
rice crop, a second submersion of it, or th%
continuance of the present high water
make it a total failure. The SavannJP
river is still emptying port of its waters
through Great Swamp into New river.
That black water stream is now as yellow
as the Savannah, and, like it, there is now
no flood tide flowing in. This is thetirst
time water of the Savannah has mixed with
that of New river since 1840.
A canal was projected some years after
that time to connect the two rivers so as to
give the rice planters on New river a more
reliable supply of fresh water, but it met
with objections from the planters along the
Savannah rivor and the idea was abandoned.
The Union Ferry causeway (Screven's
Ferry) is impassable and the people living
in the neighborhood of levy's cross roads,
and in fact in all the New river arid May
river sections of Beaufort county, are com
pelled t<> go to Hai deeviile on the Charles
ton and Savannah railway and come by rail
if they want to visit the city.
On some portions of the Savannah, Flori
da and Western Railway the water is yet
well up the embankment, but no danger is
apprehended. The high water begins at a
panticiiway lx I w en the forty-six and
the forty-seven mile posts and extends ful y
to the fifty-three mile post. Not only is the
water covering the swamps, but the
low pine lands are all covered, some
to a depth of three to foul' feet.
Saturday and Sunday the water rushed
out from the swamp with a strong current.
Wherever there were trestles the water
rushed through with the velocity of a mill
race. A large force wus on duty strength
ening the embankments and no trouble was
caused.
The water must have caused a good deal
of damage to the people living on the low,
flat pine lands. Several times large fields of
corn and grain were seen nearly submerged,
and the loss of many crops is anticipated.
The water was falling yesterday very rap
idly, and if no further fl'Kxls come down the
low lauds will soon be clear.
The steamer Katie came down late last
night. The Captain reports the river fall
ing from Augusta to rurysburg. At the
latter place the last freshet is at its full
height, hut it is fully 2 feet below that of
the previous one. That is good news for
the planters of this section as they now
know to what extent their embankments
will be further tried. The Captain says he
was informed by all the planters with whom
he conversed that the rice crop was a total
failure.
THE LOAN ASSOCIATION.
Opening New Books and Examining
• the Old Ones.
The books of the Jasper Loan Association
are being overhauled by the directors and
put in shape for the expert to handle. In
order that the business may not he inter
rupted anew set of books is being opened
and will scon be ready. The personal
accounts are all being balanced up and the
business generally is being placed in order.
It was said lust night that, us fur as the
ledger had loon examined, all salaries, in
cluding Mr. Kennedy's, had been paid for
1882, 1883 and 1884. With the thorough
overhauling the afTairsof the association are
receiving, the stockholders will soon be
fully informed regarding their assets and
liabilities. There appears in another column
a card from Mr. Kennedy, in which he asks
that Maj. Jordan F. Brooks be appointed to
go over the books as an expert.

A Tallahassee, Fla., special of Aug. 14,
says that 1,900 bands will lie put to work at
the Oarralieile end of the Tallahassee, Car
ruiielle and Gulf railroad in a few days. A
Tallahassee gentleman, now in New York,
saw several thousand dollars’ worth of sup
plies marked for shipment to Carrabelle for
this road. It will run from Tallahassee,
southwesterly sixty miles, to Carrabelle.
It is rumored that the Pullman Car Com
pany will establish a building and repair
shops at Florence, S. C. One thing is cer
tain, a largo transaction in real estate
lying near tno present shops has been con
cluded by the railroad authorities, for what
purposo no one seems willing to say. (hie
official assured a reporter that something
of moment and of particular benefit to
Florence would be developed within a short
time, and probably in less than a month.
"We learn from an authentic source,”
say’s Modiay’s Timex-Union, "that Col. F.
B. Papy, who was for so many yHal's con
nortec with the Florida Railway and Navi
gation system, under its different owners
and managements, and who recently re
signed the position of Traffic Manager, has
lieen offered by the management of the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western Railway
Company a very desirable ami important
position in connection with that road. He
lias not yet decided whether to accept or
not, tint will render his decision soon. Col.
Papy is a first-class railroad man, and will
i>e a valuable accession to the staff of the
Savannah. Florida and Western.”
Sanford, Fla., is to have the only Union
depot in the State, and it will aLso be one of
the finest in the South. The six lines of
railway terminating there have practically
been without depot facilities since the burn
ing of the South Florida railroad depot last
summer, and there has been talk, from
time to time, that the different roads would
unite and build a handsome union depot.
The talk, however, never assumed definite
shape until u few weeks ago when President
J. E. Ingraham, of the South Florida rail
road, also representing the other lines, peti
tioned the City Council for certain privi
leges which have been spoken of in these
columns. Last week those privileges were
granted as asked, and President In
graham savs that work will be commenced
at once. The plans are almost finished, aud
work on the brick and iron building will
begin about Sept. 1. It will occupy almost
the same site as that of the late South
Florida passenger station on Commercial
street. The new building, however, will
be much larger, more modern in style,
and will lie constructed of brick and
iron, with either tile or ornamental
corrugated iron roof. The passenger train
tracks will be under roof, and the walks
around the depot will be of concrete, thus
rendering the building practically fireproof.
As t tie general offices are now located in the
Welborne brick block, the depot will not he
used for any of the general offices. The
train dispatcher's assistants will have an
office there, also tho depot master. It is the
intention and desire of the railway compa
nies to have tho building completed and
ready for use by Dec. 1, next, and to that
end work will he pushed as rapidly as pos
sible.
An Enterprising Florida Railroad.
Following out the suggestions of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Immigration As
sociation, that transportation companies in
Florida having lands for sale should state
what they were willing to do to aid immi
gration to the State, Mr. A. B. Mason, Land
Commissioner of the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key YY T est Railway, has sent the follow
ing letter to Col. J. J. Daniel, chairman:
New York City, Aug. 10, 1887.
Col. .7. J. Daniel, Chairman JSrecutive Com
mittee of linmirfrotiim, Jaokxonville, Fla.:
1 am prepared to recommend to the Directors
of the Jacksonville. Tampa aud Key West Rail
way Company the following plan for the promo
tion of immigration into our State, provided it
is sin isfaetory to the committee:
Every man who is not a resident of Florida
who travels on our road up to July t, 1888. on a
through ticket from a point outside the State,
and who buys 350 worth of our land, or $75
worth of any land on the line of our road, or
SIIXI worth of land anywhere in Florida, and be
comes a resident upon said land, will, um>n
proper proof, be repaid the amount of his fare
from Jacksonville south, and will have his house
hold goods carried free of charge from Jackson
ville to the station on our rood nearest his land.
The "proper proof" may take the shape of a
certificate from the Florida Immigration Com
pany. provided that company will tie responsi
ble "to us in case its certificate turns out to bo
unwarranted by the facts. The certificate
should cover facts which we can investigate.
This suggestion is conditioned upon the people
of tlic State putting their own shoulders to the
wheel and organizing some fitting method to
encourage immigration into our State If the
plan proves feasible, it will be tried as a per
anenov.
I shall ire pleased to have your opinion on this
plan. Yours respectfully,
Ai.rarn Bishop Mason.

A Bid RIOT AT A PICNIC.
A GALA DAY AND A GLORIOUS
FIGHT AT THUNDERBOLT.
Tho First Battalion Georgia Volunteers
Colobrato their Anniversary and a
Lively Scrimmage Takes Place—Two
Negroes are Shot and a Number of
Heads are Cracked- How One Man
Put to Rout a Whole Company.
The First Battalion Georgia Volunteers
(colored) celebrated its seventh anniversary
yesterday in n manner that was both ani
mated and newsy. Before 7 o'clock three
companies and the cadets fell into line, and,
beaded by the Union Comet Band, they
paraded tho streets of the city. Conclud
ing their line of march they proceeded to
the Coast Line railroad mill took tlu* train
for Thunderbolt, where the day was to lie
spent. An enormous crowd of negroes made
a holiday of the occasion and the picnic
grounds were thronged with more than
2.000 of them. Rifle practice, base hall,
dancing, speech making, horse racing and
all the accessories of an affair of this kind
were on hand, not excluding beer and mean
whisky. The morning passed pleasantly
enough, not a thing occurring to disturb
the serenity of the pienicers. The sports
were indulged in with the utmost good hu
mor and pleasantness, but the beer had not
begun to work them.
lIE TOUCHED A TENDER SPOT.
By dinner time the crowd was growing
hilarious, and the cooler heads knew that
trouble was brewing, but none of them an
ticipated the glorious free fight that was in
store for them. About 2 o’clock John
Reilly, the Quartermaster of the Lone Star
Cadets, and Charles Fox, a guest, were stand
ing near the dancing hall talking about the
base ball game. Some misunderstanding
arose between them and their words began
to wax warm as their ire rose. The dispute
was hot, but no conflict occurred until Fox
mentioned the name of a dusky maiden of
whom Reilly was enamored and pronounced
it so trippingly on the tongue that Reilly
was overcome by anger, and some say he
struck Fox with the butt of his
musket, hut he hit Fox on the head so he
was not badly injured. Fox drew a knife
and started for Reilly with fire in bis eye,
but Reilly was too quick for him. Drawing
a revolver he fired at Fox and struck him
in the chin, the hall ranging upward and
coming out of the cheek. Henry Jenkens,
who was standing near by, sprang between
the two to prevent further conflict, hut
Reilly’s blood was up and he was on the
shoot. He fired twice at, Jenkins, who was
struck in the upper lip by one of the balls.
IT WAS A LOVELY FIGHT.
The fight then began in the finest style.
A crowd had collected long before the third
shot was fired, and the smoke had not been
blown away before every man in the crowd
had out either a pistol or a billy. Strange
to say there wus no showing of cold steel,
but pistols and hilii>'s were brought into the
game and used witli intense interest. No
less than fifty shots were fired, though
no injuries resulted from any of
them. There was a regular l’usilade
for about three minutes, and mingled
with the crack of the revolver
could be heard the thump of tho billies as
they descended upon various heads. Not a
man in that excited multitude knew what
lie was fighting about, but they all knew
that they were in it and hod to fight it out,
so on they went. In a very few minutes
tlic battle ceased, but the mementoes of it
will Ik- worn by some of the combatants nil
their lives. The number of sore and bleed
ing heads in that crowd was almost incredi
ble. Handkerchiefs were brought into
requisition ami during the afternoon many
of the dancers wore bandages to keep
together several pieces of their scalps.
CHASING THE FUGITIVE.
The ludicrous part of the affair came as
the afterclap. It was discovered that
Reilly had taken advantage of the disorder
that prevailed during the melee to make his
escape. The officers thought he ought to bo
caught, so a company was called to arms
and .started in pursuit. They followed the
path that the fugitive was sup|x>sod to
have taken, and finally caught a glimpse
of the white trousers of the obieet
of tlie chase in a little clump of bushes.
Halt was called, and the captain waspre
paring to deploy, in order to surround the
bushes, when Reilly rose up and opened lire
on tlic company with his revolver. Ten
seconds later Reilly had undisputed posses
sion of the field. Not a soldier was to lie
seen, and a minnie bull could not have
caught one if it had turned a corner.
That too, too solid flesh did melt
or do something of the sort, for where but a
moment before stood a company of troops
was then to be seen nothing but the down
trodden grass and broken bushes that were
evidence of a rapid movement to tho rear at
double quick.
A THItEE-CORNEUED FIGHT.
The remainder of the day was not at all
dull, but the'only notable incident was a
three-cornered fight that, smacks of “Mr.
Midshipman East.” The Volunteers were
keeping the crowd off the race track while
the races were going on. and one individ
ual, whose name is unknown, started to
cross the track to get into the paddock.
Capt. Julius Maxwell headed him off, and
told him he must go hack. The fellow said
he would return if Maxwell would give him
a chanee.
Whether the Captain refused to give him
a chance, or the unknown liecame obstrep
erous is shrouded iu mystery, but nt any
rate Scott Griffin, who is a member of one
of the companies, stopped up and tol l the
Captain that he would render him any as
sistance he needed in enforcing order.
Upon receiving this assurance the Captain
let. go iiis left and struck the unknown
then hit Griffin twice. There was a little
surprise manifested all around, but the next
moment the three clinched and a contest far
more interesting than .any between the
horses took place. When the fight was over
Griffin found that tho unknown had been
wielding a billy, and that he had a gash in
his scalp from which blond was pouring.
Tins ended the principal events of the
day, for after it the jolly picnicere began
returning to the city and the crowd fchiniu and
out. As to the shooting scrape the general
sentiment is that Fox was responsible for it
all and that he got just what he deserved.

THE ELDER'S STORY
Of a Good Man and His Pipe— The Queer
Recollections of Years Ago.
From the Lfvixton Journal.
Some good things happen that oven a pre
siding eider has to smile over, ami, now and
then, in moods of reminiscence, relate with
touches of lay humor. Hero is one that a
good man now living in Lewiston related
one day this week to the Journal with full
savor of appreciation r
In the neighboring city of Augusta re
sides one known as Uncle Jake, and also in
the same city was one Undo John, a retired
merchant of that city, living at ease upon a
competence and doing good in a mild man
ner. It was during the residence in Augusta
of the presiding elder hinted at above that
Uncle John called upon the good dominie
and said to him: "Did you know, Mr. 8.,
that Capt. Jake was quite sick!” “No,”
said the parson, “and I’m sorry to hear it.
I will harness up and we will go right down
and see him.”
So harnessing up they soon arrived at the
house of the worthy old Captain, whom they
found to be quite ill. On going in, and while
the elder was conversing with the sick man,
Uncle John enme across a very black old
pipe on the window sill, and fingering it
daintily in his hand held it up as a text for
a severe sermon to Uncle Jake, whom he
began to upbraid, relating the wickedness
of the habit and assuring him that he could
never go to heaven if he continued to smoke.
This somewhat alarmed the old man and he
appealed to the elder to know whether his
pipe stood between him and heaven. The
elder told the old gentleman that if he
(Uncle Jake) was a young man he should
not hesitate to join with Uncle John in full
condemnation of the pipe, but being an old
man and having smoked so many years, he
hardly knew what to say. He was of the
opinion, however, that he had better discon
tinue and certainly leave it as a matter t>e
tween himself and God.
In the course of time Uncle Jake recov
ered, although he had been brought very
low. During his illness he evidently saw
things more clearly than before, for he pro
fessed sincere repentance and conversion,
and appeared at tne prayer moeting to relate
the wonderful story of nis illness.
His story whs dramatic. He related it
amid breathless interest. He told with mi
nutenoss the event of the parson’s call and
how the light of wisdom had come to him.
He spared nothing. Ho related the details
of his recovery and how, one afternoon,
during his convalescence, he promised the
Lord that he would never buy another piece
of tobacco. He stuck to it for many days
and all was well until one day, while he was
at work on iiis raft, the devil came down on
the shore and tempted him,
until, finally, be compromised with
him, and going up to the house he gave his
boy 25c. and said, “You go dowui to Mr.
L ’s and get me three plugs of tobacco.”
“When tile boy got back,” said Uncle
Jake to the prayer meeting, “I filled my old
pipe, pressed the tobacco into the bowl,
chuckled away at the good time I would
have (the devil chuckled, too), and just then,
when I got it all filled, the Lord said. ‘Jake,
what are you going to dof and I took that
pipe, lifted it in my hands and threw it be
neath my feet, smashing it all to pieces, and
then I went out on tne banks of the river,
under a spreading elm tree, and I prayed
the Lord to help me to leave oflf that dread
ful habit, to come down to me out of the
eternal heavens, to tell me what to do and
how to do it. to go along with me and keep
the pipe out of my sight, and then I waited
there for a reply, and what do you suppose
he said f”
Uncle Jake paused here, dramatically, for
a reply, as though his ear was uplifted and
open to receive the message.
A chorus of “ohs!” and “ahs!” followed
from the assemblage.
“He never,” continued Uncle Jake, after
the bustle of expectancy was over, “He
never said a word.”
Decay of the Bones,
With some thirty other symptoms, mark
the progress of that terrible disease known
as catarrh. It advances from stage to stage
of fearful annoyances, and if neglected, is
certain to end in general debility, and pos
sibly in consumption or insanity. Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy will cure it at any
stage. This medicine has been long before
the public, and thousands have been restored
to health by its never-failing virtues.
Music For Tybee Visitors.
The lovers of pleasure will be glad to
leant that arrangements have been per
fected with the Union Cornet Band, num
bering fourteen instruments, by which they
will proceed to the Ocean House at 8 o’clock
p. m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days until further notice, and discourse ele
gant music for the entertainment of the
guests of the hotel and the public generally.
This affords an excellent opportunity for
the young folks to make up parties on those
occasions, who may enjoy not only the re
freshing surf bath, but engage in the ryth
mic measures of the delightful dance. Ev
ery provision will be made for their com
fort.
The Tybee season is at its meridian now,
and the crowds that disported in the briny
wave on Sunday, or promenaded the snowy
beach and drank in tne exhilarating atmos
phere were greater than ever. Wny spend
hundreds of dollars in quest of summer re
sorts when we have one, the equal of any of
them, at our very doors, and accessible by
rail in one short hour!
AS GOOD AS GOLD.
Millkdgevillk, Ga., Aug. 12th, 1887.
Mr. J. T. Shuptrine if lira.:
Gentlemen--Enclosed you will find $1
for which please send me sl’s worth of
your Tetteriue. This makes five boxes of
your most valuable remedy that I have
sent for, one only being for myself. I had
the tetter as bad as any one evor did. I
suffered night and day - until a friend told
me to send for your Tetterine and it would
cure me. This I did and was cured in a few
days. The first box cured me and two of
my friends. Mr. M. M. Johnson was suf
fering death with it: had been in bed for
several days. I sent to you for two l>oxes
by his request and one box cured him, and
he gave the rest to'a friend, who was also
cured. This is for Mr. J. M. Youngblood,
who lias the tetter so bad that he cannot
get about to do anything, and requests me
to send for two boxes. Your Tetterine i*
worth its weight in gold and overybo ly
ought to know something about its value.
1 can and will recommend it to everybody
that suffers with tetter or itch.
Respectfully,
Jesse VV. Hcott.

FOR TH E ASKING
WHILE OUR TEMPLE OF MUSIC AND
11 ART proves a satisfaction to us in every
wav that a well regulated business venture ran
to those who are interested, we desire that the
public fully know what ean be obtained from
our immense stock. Those who ask, or even
read as they run. know that we sell all good*
offered at prices which compete with the oldest
aud best known houses in the United States.
But as many of our friends greet us with the
expression: "That they have for years bought
our Pianos, Organs, Musical Instruments, Band
Music, Music Books and Sheet Music of you,
but I did not know you now dealt in so many
pretty aud useful articles.” Now that the good
people living outside of Savannah might know
the giad tidings we have prepared extensive and
handsome Catalogues of mu- fourteen different
departments, and have sent them broadcast
throughout the length and breadth of the South
and to any who may fcavo lieen slighted or any
who may desire a Catalogue of any of our
different departments we say. “for the askinii
we will gladly furnish.'.’ To those who reside ia
Savannah we say come and see us. You are
welcome, aud we will do all in our power to
make your visit a pleasant and profitable one.
Asa feature, we are at present engaged in a
special sale of Framed Pictures, this to enable
us to make room for new goods now on their
way. Among some of tbe now goods already
received our Amateur Photographer’s outfit i*
selling well and very fair pictures can soon be
made by any 10 year-old child. Tissue Paper
seems to sol! well, and wo have an immense
stock and are selling retail at wholesale prices.
Our stock of fine Stationery continues to create
quite a breeze, anil well it may. as no such as
sortment has ever been shown before in the
South. Another feature of our business which
seems to please the public is our cosy Waiting
Room in the front of our store. Our Shre*
Music customers especially find this a great con
venience, as the magnificent Pianos afford amnio
and luxurious opportun.ty of trying new pieces,
and we never decline to show a customer just
how a piece sounds when they express a desire
to have ms run it over for them. In fact, “fo
the asking” we will do most any and every
thing that our customers cau desire, excepting
sell for anything but cash (“excepting, of
course. Pianos aud Organs, they can be bought
on easy terms") and change our price, this
lining impossible, as we always sell at the low
est prices known and at one price to all. Try us.
