HIS BODY RECOVERED.
WILLIE FLEETWOOD’S REMAINS
FOUND IN THE SOU 111 CHANNEL.
After Hours of Searching ' rv ie>* are
Caught by tlio Grappling Iron Full
Details of the Trip and the Accident
—Tho Statement of His Friends.
The remains of Willie Fleetwood were re
covered yesterday, tho grappling irons
bringing up the hodv in the South Channel,
•bout a mile south of St. Augustine creek.
Capt. W. H. Fleetwood, his father, went
down, in the morning, on the pilot boot
Wilder. Anchoring off St. Augustine creek,
the small boats set to work dragging the
channel thoroughly. The Captain worked
his way to the railroad embankment,
and from there examined the marsh
carefully with his glasses. Nothing could
be seen, but the Captain ascertained there
was little prospect of a swimmer's reaching
the railroad embankment. The sad work
went on, but unsuccessfully, and just as the
searchers were alxiut to stop, at 4 o'clock,
the Ixxiy was found, the grapple bringing it
up from almost under the boat.
THE RETURN TO THE CITY.
Taking the body on board, they set sail
for the city. The signal was displayed for
a tug, as was agreed before leaving, in the
event of finding the body, and the Consti
tution ran down and towed the vessel up,
landing at the Lincoln street wharf at
about 7 o'clock. A large crowd gathered
as the boat was tied up, and expressions of
sympathy for the bereaved parents were
heard on all nidi's. The Coroner was tele
phoned for, and he came down and took
charge of the body. He removed the cloth
ing. and washed the head and face carefully.
No unusual marks or bruises were found on
the body, and the Coroner said it was a case
of drowning. The Ixaly was dressed
in , a blue-cheek shirt, pants
and drawers. In his pockets
were found his stockings, although trie boys
in the party had said they were sure ho had
them oil when he fell off. Tho Coroner re
moved the be sly, and probably will hold an
inquest this morning.
statement or his companions.
The young men who composed the party
were Messrs. Mike Hennessy, George
Adams, William Go igl<>. Tone)' Savina and
the dead boy. Messrs. Hennessy and Adams
last nightjnad" the following statement in
Substance: They engaged a boat
of William Wilson to take
them to Tybee Island. They
left here at midnight Saturday and pro
ceeds! as far as McQueen’s Marsh, where
they anchored for the night. Karly Sun
day morning they started on down the river.
At noon the wind freshened up and an hour
later was blow ing a small gale. This de
cided the boys to return home. They were
then just below the mouth of St. Augustine
creek and running before the wind.
THE ACCIDENT.
Google was at the holm, and as he let go
the sheet to bring her around he said, “Boys,
she is going about,” and Adams said, “Look
out there for the boom.” Hennessy and
Fleetwood were on the cabin, and as the
boom swung around the former just escaped
it by falling into the cockpit. Fleetwood
was not so fortunate, being knocked off
the boat. They were then not more
than ten or fifteen feet from the
shore, or edge of tlie marsh. Him
nessy threw a rope to his struggling com
rade, but it fell short. The boat had re
gained its headway then and was fast leav
ing Fleetwood, who was swimming. Seeing
this, Adams called out for him to swim to
the marsh and they would come by and pick
him up. To which Willie replied: ‘‘All
right, but hurry up.” They all say that if
they hail thought lie was hurt by the blow
they would have jumped in to save him.
HE SUNK OUT OK SIGHT.
A heavy si-a was running in the South
Channel lintl the wind was blowing a gale.
The taiat was hard t > manage as they hail
only a monkey wrench to use as a tiller bar.
The centreboard also got stuck in tho trunk
and they could not lower it for several
seconds. They tacked off across
the channel, ran down and went
back to where Fleetwood had been left.
Both the young men say they kept their
eyes on him till tneygot within some thirty
or forty feet of him. Then he rose on top
of a wave, went down in its hollow and that
was the last glimpse they had of their friend.
They searched for more than two hours but
could get no trace of him, and so they eame
up to the city. They say they went to the
barracks first and then to Capt. Fleetwood’s
house. Tiiey were so upset by the accident,
they added, that they hardly knew what to
say or do.
NO I.IQUOR ADOARD.
When asked about liquors lieing on the
Is wit they denied that they had any, hut
•aid they Ixi iglit a quart of whisky before
leaving Saturday, Hip d-ci ; it .ill before
they teft the wli i I. “WiM not touch
u drop,” said Hui s. .■ t ■ rest of us and
a watchman on ■ > 'v e. Virves drank it
up.” M . Will .-'ii % ii- u,t be owner of the
boat, had prev i 'up* l flint his boat
was stolen, ash" lc, refuw.l to let Heu
nensy have it. He hi, also, that lie
took the tilt" off. so they would
not take it. Wii(>u returned the boat was
in a terrible condition, looking us if she had
been capsized. The young men were in
formed -if Mr. Wilson's charges, anil they
denied them. T.;ev said he agreed to let
them have the bout on Sunday, ami they
took it at midnight, which was Sunday.
They said, too, that the lioat was not cap
sized at all. Once the monkey-wrench
slipped, and they ran u|ion the marsh, and
she shipped water then.
A PROMISING LAD.
A great many things that might have
seemed queer at first may be explained,
perhaps, on the ground of "the great shook
given them by the sudden death of one of
their party. As the inquest will be held to
day, the full history will probably be
brought, out. Willi •' Fleet wcmkl is spoken
df as a very promising lad, cheerful and
pleasant iu his ways and very companion
able. He was a clerk in the office of Sir. S.
M. Chestnutt, a naval stores inspector. Ho
was attentive to his duties and well liked.
His bereaved parent- have the greatest sym
pathy extended to them in this, their sail

DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN.
Mr. William Cantwell Passes Away—
A Sketch of His Life.
Mr. William Cantwell died at his resi
dence on Halx'rsham street, near Harris,
yesterday morning, in the AVI year of his
age. Mr. Cantwell has been a resident of
this city for a number of years, anil he was
well known in the community and univer
sally respected. He came to this city about
1869, and soon after his arrival hero he was
appointed to a position in the post office. In
Mils position he remained through the suc
cessive administrations, but he lost it dur
ing the last years of Repulilican rule. He
was a very efficient officer, and his record
in the department is a credit to his memory.
At one time Mr. Cantwell engaged in
politics in New York city, and he became
quite prominent as a leader of the local
Democratic party there. He was a member
of the National Convention that nominated
Horatio Seymour for President, and he has
at other times been placed in prominent
ixwitions. Mr. Cantwell joined the Catho
lic Knights of America in 1 879, and for the
last seven years he has been Recording
Secretary of Branch No. 38. The Catholic
Knights will attend the funeral in a body
this afternoon. It is seldom that they turn
out on such occasions, but their appreciation
of the merits of their deceased brother was
so great that they felt their attendance was
an honor that was due his memory.
The Death of Harry S. Haines.
Mr. Harry S. Ilaines, one of the most
promising young men of this city, died last
evening after an illness of thirty-one days.
Ho was only 20 years of age, just on the
threshold of manhixid, and he had every
reason to expect a very successful cart**r in
life, in June lie graduated with high honors
at the Lehigh University of Pennsylvania,
and eame home for a short visit before
starting on a trip to Europe, where he ex
pected to s|H*!id six months. Within ten
days after reaching his home he was attacked
by a fever, from which, in a few days, it was
thought he hail recovered. Tho fever re
turned. however, and held him iu its em
brace until death eame to his relief.
Mr. Haines was noted for the nobility and
purity of his character. Possessing an unu
sually bright mind, study and thought had
matured it beyond ids years. But, admired
as he was by those who knew him for his
character and acquirement*, he was par
ticularly conspicuous for rare qualities
of the heart which manifested themselves iu
the home circle, and in association with his
friends. It is doubtful if lie ever gave liis
parents a moment's pain after he came to
years of discretion. He was a constant
blessing to them,and many will sorrow with
them in their loss.

The steamer Kantoe arrived in port on

steamer vml that on North Santee, from
Fawn Hill to Collin’s Rinding, the freshet
had broken through the rice banks and in
undated the Helds. These Helds were, how
ever, owned by colored planters who
farmed on a small scale and were able
to oppose to the floods only such em
bankments as would scarcely resist the
ordinary Hood •in the river. fields
were consequently overflowed entirely,
but it was inqiossiblo to say whether
there would be serious damage done
to the harvest. The damage would largely
depend, lie said, on tlx* length of time the
crop remained under water, which, on Fri
day night, had fallen four inches, and hod
probably on Saturday fallen two feet. Tec
same condition of atrlirs, he soid, probably
existed on South Santee, wh*re the planted
were, however, better prepared tb escape
any very serious injury. But there was no
doubt that the water b.ui overrun the plan

affecting tlx* North Hunter would necessarily
affect, the South river, but, hero the same
would apply; tho damage would dopond on

The Gulf and Chicago Air-Line Railway
I company is making surveys for a line from

states that it lias secured connection with
Chicago by im agreement with the Chicago

Thu indications are premising for one of
the most protracted and bitter legal contests
the country has ever known, for the recov

sustained in the late disaster, on tho Toledo,
Peoria anil Western road.
All previous records of rapid track-laying
have again been exceeded on the St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Manitoba extension in
Montana, where, it is statisi, 8.11 miles of
track were laid down from one end in a sin
gle day, Aug. 11. The best previous day’s
work on this road was 7.3 miles, and the
next best was 0:38 miles on the Canadian
Pacific. This is an astonishing performance,
and yet it is claimed that a mile more would
have been laid on the 11th had not one of the
iron cal's broken down.
Memphis ledger: The people of Nash
ville seem to he quite stirred up in regard to
the. Midland railroad, which has been start
ed in that direction in West Tennessee.
Possibly they will conclude to vote a sub
scription to the enterprise as Knoxville did
to two railroads tlx* other day. It is a rather
remarkable fact that tho capital of the
State, with all its booming and solid wealth,
has not hail anew railroad for about sixteen
years. Yet in spite of this the city has
grown steadily all the while. The building
of the Midland railroad through from Mem
phis to East Tennessee via Nashville, would
be an immense benefit to that city and give
it new life, as well as develop a now coun
try for a distance of several hundred miles.
That the road will be built from Memphis
to the Tennessee river, and that it will be ex
tended on to Nashville over upper East
Tennessee, seems almost an assured fact.
A Montgomery, Ala., special of Aug. 30
says: Mr. Woolfolk, tho moving spirit of
the Alabama Midland railroad, returned
from the East to-day, and says the speedy
building of this road is an assured fact.
The officers of the conqiany have carried
their negotiations to a point where all doubt
of its' immediate construction is removed.
The bonds of this road were placed with a
London syndicate of bankers, who have
sent over their expert engineer,
Mr. Archibald Fnirlie, now in
Montgomery, who commences insjiecting
next week. Pending his arrival,
a_ very strong syndicate of New
York capitalists, also submitted bids for
these securities, which, on account of the
shortening of the distance to all Atlantic
and Gulf points, in connection with the
fine local territory, is a guarantee to this
new road which insures its lieing one of the
largest earning roads in Alabama. It will
bring the Florida Railway and Navigation
Company and the Savannah, Florida and
Western into Montgomery and Selma to
the Midland, the large freight and tourist
business of these two lines amounting to
over 1,000,000 tons and 600,000 passengers.
Work begins this fall, and will be pushed
with vigor to a speedy completion.
The Commercial and Financial Chroni

Buying Up the Rico Crops.
A gentleman from over the river stated
yesterday that agents, said to represent
Charleston houses, are now traveling
through the rice growing sections, engaging,
in advance, the growing crop of small
planters. OnOkeet.ee and Chichesseeyivers
there are a number of planters who raise
from 100 to 1,000 bushels of rice, which
with a few bags of cotton is their money
crop. The rice is generally “upland" and
is preferred to “tide water" rice ns seed.
As there will necessarily he a large demand
for good seed rice, there is an opening for
considerable speculation in that lino.

Suggestions About Bilbo Canal and
Fish in the Rice Fields.
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 23.— Editor Morn
ing .Vein: Referring to the remarks on tho
condition of tho Bilbo canal published in
your paper a few days ago, I beg to say
that the canal could lx* completely washed
out at a moderate expense, by the use of
very sitnpl** machinery, erected where the
canal empties into tho liver, viz: Put in a
short flume at the mouth of the canal, build
therein a wheel thnt nearly tills the flume,
apply sufficient power to cause the wheel to
revolve rapidly, and a current would lie
created sufficiently strong to draw into tho
river tho sewage timt has been ac
cumulating in tho canal since the
river has ben fix> high to admit of the
drainage tvlurh is usual when the river isin
its normal state. O.x-e the sewage gets
into tin* river, it would hardly stop short of
the occult, with Lbo river in its present state.
An engine ol stilfic on, power to revolve the
wheel cun no doubt he Iml m the city at

BATTLING WITH A STORM.
THE TONOWANDA HAS A ROUGH
TIME OFF HATTERAS.
A Terrific Wind and a High Sea—Her
Docks are Swept From Stem to
Stern By the Waves-Some of Her
Rigging is Cut Away and Ope Man
Is Hurt.
Th< steamship Tonawanda, Capt. W. C.
Briekley, arrived here yesterday morning
from New York. She came into port with
her smoke stack and pilot house all stained
with salt water. Capt. Briekley said that
she hail passed through one of the severest
hurricanes that he had ever encountered.
The vessel left New York on last Wednes
day afternoon, ami had clear weather with
strong southerly winds down to Capa Hat
teras. She passed Hatteras at 7 o’clock in
the evening of Friday when the barometer
suddenly commenced falling, the wind be
ing about south southeast, and showing
every indications of an approaching hurri
cane.
The ship was kept going under forespen
cer and fore-stay nails so as to get around
Cape Lookout. At 13 o'clock midnight she
took the gale, the wind blowing very hard
from south southeast, and again hauling
aroundto the westward, with a terifie sea.
The barometer fell to 39.03. The ship was
hove to for about eight hours during the
storm. At 8 a. m. the wind suddenly
shifted to southwest with vio
lent squalls ami a fearful
sea, which proved that the ship was in the
centre of a revolving hurricane. Capt.
Briekley gradually got the ship around on
the starboard tack heading off shore. The
ship being so light, she would not steer well,
and at times her head was away dowu in
the trough of the sea with her propeller
clear out of water.
The seas swept over her in rapid succes
sion carrying away everything movable on
deck. It also carried away one of the
shrouds of the forerigging; the gaffs were
blown clear out of the Gilts. Another ter
rific sea was shipped, which carried away
rails, mainstaneliions, after-companion
ways and after-binnacle, smashing in the
skylights of the engine-room and putting
out the lights and leaving the engine-room in
total darkness. Chas. Austin, a seaman, was
washed across the deck several times, and
his legs were badly crushed and bruised.
After blowing away the fore-spencer, the
peak of the gaff was lashed down to the
boom, anil then a network of ropes was
placed around the mainsail, so as to keep
her head up to the sea. The wind again
hauled around to the westward, and after
4 a. m. it gradually commenced to subside,
and iator on the weather became clearer.
The captain says that the ship liehaved
splendidly, and as each succeeding sea
boarded her sne would xlnver from stem to
stern. She is an old vessel, but proved her
self to be a wonderfully fine sea Ixiat. She
will be remembered as having, for years,
run on the line lietween this port and Phila
delphia. After the storm very fair weather
was hail up to the time of casting anchor in
Tybee Roads Sunday night. In passing
Frying Pan Captain Briekley says ne did
not see tho lightship, anil he is almost sure
that it is gone from its moorings.
BATTLE OF THE SMITHS.
The Memphis Tosser Gets the Best of
the Charlestonian.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22, —The battle of
the Smiths was renewed and again the
Memphis twirler got a little the best of it.
The Charleston pitcher, however, pitched a
strong game, and but for bunching of hits
by the locals in tho sixth inning, as
sisted by errors of Hines and Nicholas,
the score would not have shown
so great? a discrepancy. The features of the
game were two magnificent catches of long
flies caught by Carl after a desperate run,
and a similar catch by Baker, of the
Browns, who has just returned from St.
Louis and covered right field. The score
by innings follows:
Memphis 0 0 0 1 0 4 1 2 I—9

Crushed by a Falling Tree.
Coroner Dixon was called out on the B
road, near the convict camp, yesterday, to
hold an inquest on a negro man who had
met with an accident in the morning and
died in the afternoon. It appears that
Cyrus Green, a colored mail, was cutting
down a tree near the convict camp, and the
tree in falling struck him, crusning him.
His wife, who was near by, assisted aim to
ids house, where ho shortly afterward died.
The Coroner, after investigating tho mat
ter, did not deem an inquest necessary.

CYCLONIC DISTURBANCE.
Cool Weather, High Winds, and Per
haps a Big Cyclone for To-Day.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was 88*, the average 81”, being 1" above the
normal. The temperature in the cotton re
gion at all the stations was decidedly lower,
■save at Smithville, which reported 102°. It
was also low in all the districts, save Gal
veston, 21 stations there reporting an
average of 98’. A cold wave is still hover
ing in the northwest and the upper lake
region. Cheyenne reported the low tem
perature of 48°, and nearly nil stations in
that section report temperatures iu the
neighborhood of 50°. Rains have fallen in
the New England, Middle and South At
lantic States, and the lower and upper lake
regions. New York city reported a rainfall
of 1.02 inches from 3 to lOo’dock and Phila
delohia 1.20 inches.
The map issued by the signal service this
morning showed three decided areas of low
pressure. The one that was central over
the lake region has moved slightly to east
ward, and centre 1 last night in the vicinity
of Cleveland, O. The one in the Rio Grande
valley has remained stationary, but
the one which was off Key West
'has moved slightly northward, and
is now is the vicinity of Titusville,
Els., off the Florida coast. At 10 o’clock
last night the wind was blowing there at
the rate of 24 miles an hour from the north,
a decrease in velocity of 6 miles since 3
o’clock. At Key West the highest velocity
was 30 miles at 3 o’clock and 24 miles at 10
o’clock from the northwest.
The barometer at this station was hut
slightly below the normal yesterday morn
ing, and indicated no approach of the
storm until about noon, when the mercury
began to fall. At 3 p. m. the barometer
read 29.82 inches, a fall of .08 since noon,
and at tlrat time the following message was
received from Washington:
Hoist cautionary signal. Cyclone central off
the Hast Florida coast, apparently moving
north. Dangerous northeast gales are iuaicated
for the North Atlantic coast.
The apparent course of the storm is
northward. It is advancing very slowly
and probably will not reach Savannah till
noon or later to-day. Any way high north
east winds may be expected.
If the low area now prevailing in the gulf
should move northeasterly at a more rapid
rate than the cyclone, the two would be apt
to merge into each other and the result would
be terrific winds in the vicinity of Hatteras.
The low area, central over the lake region,
may also have its effect upon the cyclone,
unless it moved rapidly to the eastward last
night. There was a decided area of high
pressure in the Northwest, which will prob
ably force the low area of the lake region to
the eastward, and if that happens, it will
have a tendency to keep this cyclonic dis
turbance in this section for some days.
The indications for to-day are for local
rains and a stationary temperature.
With teeth all stained, and loose, I thought
That nothing could be begged or bought
To cure them, and I cried, in pain.
“O, would that they were good again!”
At last, let songs of praise go round,
A cure in SOZODONT I found!

Gentlemen— Enclosed you will find *1
for which please send me sl’* worth Si
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 ever did. I
suffered night and day until a friend told
mo to send for your Tetteriue 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 boxes
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 has the tetter so bad that he cannot
get about to do anything, and requests me
to send for tw r o boxes. Your Tetteriue is
worth its weight in gold and everybody
ought to know something about its value.
I can and wall recommend it to everybody
that suffers with tetter or itch.
Respectfully,
> Jesse W. Scott.
