8 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 loss. THE NAOMI ENTERED. She Will Tako Part in the Fornandtna Regatta- Davo Kemp to Sail Her. Mr. F. C.

They have extern led an open invitation to all yachts to eutor, anil the Naomi has accepted. Mr. Hurt ridge thinks theChemaun is a last bout, •liu thut she con beat anything in these waters. He was particularly anxious to match her against the Naomi. Tho three boats will be in the same class. The Naomi will be sailed by Mr. Dave Kemp, who is considered the nest skillful sailor mi the Southern coast. He will u-o every means in his |lower to bring tho Naomi in Hint, and there is nets Savannah iau who knows anything of the Naomi who does not l-elievo timt he will lie successful. Com.

He also stated that ltillio canal was in a lietter condition now than for months previous. Disinfectants Mere boiug used unsparingly, and he said there wasn't llii* least danger from it. “In fact,” s till the doctor, “the health statistics prove that Smithville (as the neighborhood near the canal is culled) is healthier than other portions of the city.” One of the board, in speaking of the doctor's allusion to tho scant water supply, said that as there was plenty of water at night the jieople should fill their bath tulis then, and keep it to Hush the sewers and traps.

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. Charleston Tid-Blts. One bag of tfie new sea island cotton crop has been received by Ha vend & Cos., from the plantation of Mr. F. Y. Legare. on John's Island. There will be a meeting at 11 o’clock this morning, ut the Chamber of Commerce, of all those interested in, or owning property along, the eastern water front.

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.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 23. 1W GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money aa I Management About Various Lines. The Gulf and Chicago Air-Line Railway I company is making surveys for a line from Mobile, Ala., northward, and its President states that it lias secured connection with Chicago by im agreement with the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. Thu indications are premising for one of the most protracted and bitter legal contests the country has ever known, for the recov ery of damages for lives lost and injuries 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 cle reports the gross earnings of sixty-seven roads from January 1 to June 30, 1887, £348,064,118, increase of £32,606,730 over same time in 1886; operating expenses $163,- 015,188, increase of $16,370,153: net earn ings $85,048,035, increase of $16,417,577. Excellent showing is made by the Southern roads as a class, they re|xirting sternly and continuous gains month by month. Gross earnings of sixty-nine roods for first week of August, were $1,062,037, increase of $502,387. Gross earnings of twenty-nine roads for second week of August, were $2,548,534, increase of $842,109. Keman's Wall Street Summary —The Southern people who last year engineered the rise in Richmond Terminals and affili ated securities, are trying to gather their forces in order to take advantage of any flurry in the market which may come along. They talk to their friends of mar velous crops in the South, the increasing prosperity and the new capital which could be obtained for Wall street purposes if ma nipulation as at present exists did not put a damper on outside sjieeulative temper. 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. Local Personal.

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.

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 Charleston 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2—3 Batteries—Smith and Crotty for Memphis; Smith and Nicholas for Charleston. Base bits Memphis 12, Charleston 3.

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. Chills and Fever.

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!

Shvptrinr, tfr lira. : 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.
