He Shoots at Her, Narrowly Missing
a Lady and Two Children —He
Knocks Down His Cousin and Beats
His Uncle Over the Head With a
Stick.
A negro, named l’aul Campbell, was
brought in from Blnomingdalc yesterday on
the “Shoo Fly" train and taken to tho bar
tacks. to he held for a warrant. lie is
charged with shooting into the house of Mrs.
A. B. Carter, who lives at Bloomingdale. M rs.
O. SY. Jackson, Mrs. Carter’s sister, came
into the city yesterday and told of the fel
low’s doings ut her sister's house. Kbe said
that day before yesterday a negro woman
came to the house and asked for a drink of
water, which was given her. >Shc then went
away, but came hack next morning and
asked for work, and Mrs. Carter told her
that if she would come back this morning
and bring a letter of recommendation she
would employ her. 55'hile the "Oman was
standing near the piazza Campts ll rushed
into the yard with a gun in his hand anil
called to the woman to come out to him.
The woman, who proved to tie Anna
Campbell, his wife, ran from him and into
the house. Campbell levelled his gun and
fired at her when he saw her go in the house,
but although Mrs. Corter and her two
children were standing on the piazza, no
one was hurt. Campbell then followed Ins
w ife in and ordered her to go out with him.
He said that he would kill her if she did not
go out.,and afterward he said lie was going
pi kill her anyhow* Mis. Carter keeps a
double-barrelled shot gun in the house and
keel's it loaded. She picked up the gun and
ordered Campbell to leave, and he lost no
time in obeying.
He then went to the railroad station,
where he found his cousin, Iziura Wil
liams, who had accompanied his wife. He
took from her a purse, which he said con
tained his money, and when she attempted
to recover it he knocked her down. At this
juncture Laura 55’ilUains' father put in his
ap|*-arance. and Campbell struck him over
the head with a stick of wood, anil ran liim
down the road. He then returned to the
station, where he renewed his quarrel with
lain-ft. and where he was found when ti e
train came along. Mrs. Jackson met the
train, and got some of the train men to
arrest Campbell and bring him to the citv.
Campbell statist at the barracks that be
had lived peaceably with bis wife until his
cousin came to live with them, and from
that tim-' on they had trouble. •He had
saved up $27. and lie gave it to his wife to
keep', but Laura induced her to take it and
run away. He followed her to get the
money. He said that if she had given him
the money he would have let her go; that
he did not want her, but he did want his
$27. He says lie took the gun along to pis'
tect himself with in ease he should need it
in going through the woods, but he fired it
off before he got, to the house. He says tlie
ladies are mistaken in thinking that lie shot
into the house; that he shot the gun off in
the woods for fear he might have lieen
charged with bringing a loaded gun into
the house.
COOL, DELIGHTFUL WEATHER
A Welcome Boon to Bavannahlans -
The Cyclone’s Slow Progress.
The maximum tempsTaturo here yester
day was 88 and the average 81", ttie normal
stab*. The tempierature was nearly sta
tionary all day. In tlie cotton region tho
tempierature fell slightly. No rain fell in
this district save the .04 inches that fell here
early J esterday morning. The temp vrature
fell decidedly all over the United Stub's, tlie
Little Rook district, fourteen stations, re
porting an average of 80 . That district
the day pirevious reported 92". Tlie highest
temperature reported last night, at the 10
o’cluek repiorts was 84° at Key 55’cst,, Flu.,;
tlie lowest at Cheyenne and Marquette, both
reporting 48’. All the stations in the New
England States, and all north and west of
Chicago report tho low temperature of 00 ,
while 50’ is reported from the ex
trerne Northwest. Ht. Dai is, which
usually reports a high temperature
at night, reported 52’ last night. This fact
shows the cold wave to l® advancing in
tliis direction, and the probabilities are (hat
for the next week or ten days, most enjoya
ble weather will lie Imd here.
Tlie disturbance that was central 111 the
west gulf th 1 * evening previous, and tlie one
central over tha lake regions, moved yester
ilas so as to nPennie the udvam® of the
cvekme that was then off the Florida coast.
The cyclone lias moved slowly northward,
mid last night waxulxiut on a line midway
between Jacksonville anl Kavannuh,
a Is mt UK) miles out at aeu.
Yesterday the highest wind velocity hero
was 25 miles pier hour shortly after noon.
At T> is** a 3<t-niiie lir(- xe was reisirbsl, and
tin- Kiiiu at Charleston. Theindicationsall
point ton heavy biow here to-day, though
ii ina\ p by >0 far ou; at *ea as in be slight
hole While light effects arc felt here
ever, thing goes to indicate that there i*
grv.. violence at sea. But probably the
greatest effect* of the cyclone will lie felt
off I bit terns The report* from there were
missing last night, and the supposition is
that tne wires are down. It is probable
that the cyclone w ill sps'inl its greatest
strength at sea nnd this section will esoapie
it* destructive effect*.
A HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.

and is Caught In tho Country.
A negro named Cuffy Morgan was locked

Sandiford went to the market in the morn
ing and tied his horse to the hitching post.
When he came out tbe horse had gone, but
he supposed that it had broken loose

was lint much worried alioiit it
until !io went home and found

him that Morgan had ridden the animal to

A BCHEME TO BEAT THE BOSS
1 How Two Painters Put Up a Job to
Get Up a buit for Damages.
Avery remarkable case was brought to
! light yesterday by the confession of a negro
painter named Joe Rolverts. Roberts and a
i white man named C. Hennemann were
jiainting the outside of J. J. Sullivan's sa
i loon, on Bfyan street, and on 55'ednesda_v
j last the people in the neighborhood heard
loud cries coming from the yard. A
I crowd soon gathered and found
; Hennemann lying on the ground
j crying loudly and apparently suffering
| great pain. The ladder on which the men
had lieen workiog was broken in two and
! was swinging from near the roof. Paint
• was scattered all over the yard, and there
I was plenty of it on Hennemann. who said
that when he was at work on the ladder it
broke and he fell to the ground, dislocating
his shoulder. He was removed to his home
and he has since been under medical care.
He has lieen walking about for the last day
or two, but he has always carried his arm
in a sling.
Yesterday Roberts’ conscience began to
smite him, so he went to Mr. Christopher
Murphv, for whom he and Hennemann
were working, and told him that they had
teith lieen -tcaiini; for wane time past, and
he wanted to make a confession. Mr. Mur
phy took him before Justice Molina, where
his statement was made under oath. He
said that he and Hcnnemaun bad put up a
scheme to get up a cow* of damages against
Mr. Murphy; that Hennemann had not dis
locat'd his shoulder: in fai t, that he had
not fallen from the ladder. lie said that he
and Hennemann broke tho ludder and then
hauled it up to the roof. He then threw
l>aiut and brushes all around the yard,
and sprinkled paint on who
laid down 011 the ground and
began to yell. This scheme, he said, had
I iron suggested by Hennemann who pro
is.'sed to bring suit against Mr. Murphy for
d.OuO and divide what damages he recov
crcil with Roberts. Having gone this far,
Roberts inode a full confession and said that
Hennemann and himself hud been robbing
Mr. Murphy systematically for about two
years. They had gone to the warehouse
and stolen paint by the wagon load, taking
away in one trip more than $l2O worth.
Roberts went hack to work after he made
the statement and a warrant was issued for
Hennemann. but he has not yet been ar
rested.
TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE.
Supt. Easterlin, of the Telephone Com
pany Visits the City.
Kupt. John I). Easterlin. of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company, came over from
Charleston Monday, nnd is up to his ears in
work already. He was seen s esterday, and
he stated that the company projxises to give
Savannah the best service of any city in
the South. He admitted the boil service
reported by the News, but said the com
pany was hardly responsible for it. Mr.
Bishop, the manager here, is one of thaeom
riany’s best electricians, and in order to
have this office well served when Mr. Dil
lon left they sent Mr. Bishop here.
He had lieen in England for
some time previously, and the climatic
change was too much. He attempted to do
the same work here that he did there, and
he was taken ill, as a consequent®. His
family has lieen ill, too, and sickness has in
terfered with his work. Asa result, the
efficiency of the service degenerated, for
“eternal watchfulness is the price of good
service,” remarked Mr. Easterlin.
Mattel's are now 1 icing straightened out,
nnd the result will be a better service than
ever—so tho sutierlntendont says. In the
last month or so, he has discharged five
operators. He brought two inspectors
nnd three operators from Charleston. They
are nil experienced men, and he is confident
the difference will be observed soon.
He further said that a thorough
inspection of all the lines would
lie made at once. The company claims to
have all of the latest inventions pertaining
to tho ’phone, and to illustrate this, Mr.
Easterlin said they had thrown out four
plants since he bail been connected with the
company, at a cost of many thousands of
dollars, anil replaced them with new instru
ments.
If the subscribers will promptly report
all complaints to the office it wifi aid the
manager in his efforts to place the service
on a more satisfactory footing. “You can
say we intend that Havannah shall have a
’phone service better than any city in the
Shuth, ami as near perfection as can be
secured,” remarked the genial superin
tendent at the close of the conversation.
W AITKBa’ MUTINY
On Account of the Alleged Brutal
Treatment of the Stewardess.
The steamship City of Savannah left last
night for New York with only one waiter
out of a complement of six and with the
stewardess of tho Tallahassee. The story as
told by one of the ex-waitei-s
is this. The stewardess, a mid
dle-aged white woman of neat appearance,
went uptown yosterday afternoon, and not
returning at 0 o’clock, one of the wnitors
hunted her up. She was found, but rather
under the influence of liquor. She was
taken to tho vessel, and on reaching her
room wont to bed. The steward was greatly
angered at her conditlou and rejiortod the
facts to tho captain, who ordered her to be
put off the ship.
The waiters sav a policeman and one of
the stewards entered her room, dragged her
1 ait of bed nnd through the entire length of
tho saloon, with only one garment on, and
dumped her out on the wharf, in the
midst of a lot of uegrooa. Her clothes
were flung off after her. The waiters
wi re too gallant to stand this, and so asked
tlio captain to either take heron board or
provide for her. He refused, and they
asked for their pay. This the captain re
fused, so they said, and they left in a body,
only one falling out at the last moment.
They carrii'd the woman, who was incapa
ble of helping herself, up town and put her
where she would be cared for. They say
the act was uncalled for, and they did what
they could to resent it. The stewardess of
the Tallahassee was sent for, and with one
lone waiter the vessel sailed.
LAID TO REST.

Habersham street. Rev. Dr. Holmes offi
ciating. The pallbearers were young
friends of the divines*). The remains were
interred in laiurel Grove cemetery. A
large number of friends and acquaintances
of the family attended and much sympathy
was manifested for the distressed |iurents.
As the Coroner was too busy to act in tho
matter of the inquest, he requested Justice
Molina to take the evidence in the case.
The affidavits of George Adams, Tony
Haiindo, 55'illiam Google and Mike Hen
neasy were taken by the Justice. Nothing
new was elicited, the testimony being about
tlie same as that published In the News
yesterday.
FUNERAL SERVICES.
The Remains of Harry Haines and
William Cantwell Laid at Rest.
Two very imposing funerals were held
yesterday at the Cathedral. 55’illiam
Cant well was buried in the Catholic Ceme
tery in the afternoon, a large number
attending. Liter, the services of Harry
Haines were held, the funeral being one of
the largest held hern for some t ime. The
general offices of the H.ivnuuah, Florida
and tt’rstem railroad were closed and the

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1887.
THROUGH THE CITY.
Items Gathered Here and Tberß by the
News Reporters.
Oue arrest was reported by the police up
to 1 o'clock this morning, and that was for
disorderly conduct.
Mr John Moloney, formerly of the firm
of Power & Moloney, died on Monday, of
"congestion of the brain.
Pilots who came in from sea yesterday re
ported the sea very rough and the waves as
high as thev had ever seen them beforeo:i
the bar. The cyclone evidently came very
near tills coast. ’
James Brown and Frank Qumly, who left
here last week fur Florida, to join the Fcr
nandina lose hall club, returned home Mon
day. feeling somewhat sore and lame in the
ankle joints. Tho boys say thev had no idea
there were so many railroad ties in a mile.
They counted them ail.
Mr. Hchurnnn, a butcher in tho market,
complains of the careless shooting at Battery
Park. He was out at the cattle pens Mon
ilay. and while returning, when opposite the
shooting range, was hit in the hand by a
spent shot, Several more whistle! by him
and others hit the wagon cover.
Dr. Falligant has discovered that the use
of lime as a disinfectant is, under certain
circumstances, rather detrimental. He had
used it in his yard, and the rains had
washed it and sand down in the drain rii[-.
where the lime had set and formed a hard
mortar, effectually stopping up the pipe. It
seems from this that the use of liquid disin
fw-tant* is bettor where there is a possibility
of a similar occurrence.
AN ERROR IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
A Railroad Agent Pay* Advance
Charges and Forgets to Collect.
The statement has lieen made that the
Port Royal agent of the Central railroad is
short in his accounts, and that an examina
tion of his books is being made. It appears
that the late agent’s—Mr. H. H. Collier—
books are Issing examined, but there is not
the slightest suspicion of anything more
than a mistake. It is supposed that he paid
advance charges on freight that was shipped
and failed to draw a draft for the amount,
consequently tho books do not balance. As
soon as the mistake is located, however, the
receiver of the goods will be drawn on for
the money, and the whole matter will thus
lie settled. Mr. M. E. Curvoisie was ap
pointed a week ago to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by Mr. Collier’s resignation.
Coons This Time.
The Central railroad has been running
cheap excursions to Augusta every Satur
day night for some time past, and the young
men of the city have been taking advantage
of them to make a flying Sunday trip. A
Bay str* et bookkeeper went into tho ticket
office not long ago, and, laying his money
on the counter, said:
“’Scursion ticket to 'frusta,”
‘•Oh, no! Coons this time; your turn
next,” suid Mr. Shaw.
The bookkeeper is now considering
whether ho will report to the Interstate
Commerce Commission this discrimination
against whites in favor of “coons."

CHARLESTON’S PICNIC.
McKeogh Knocked Out in Two Innings
at Memphis.
Memphis, Tf.nn., Aug. 23.—Memphis
tried George McKeogh in tho box to-day
against tho Charlestons and in two innings
ho was knocked out, giving way to Smith
after six runs had lieen scored. Smith held
the visitors down to three runs during the
remaining innings, but the mis
chief had been done and the
locals never overcame Charleston’s
lead. Hungier was batted quite freely,
but stupid base-running prevented run-get
ting by the locals. Glenn’s fielding was a
feature of the game, notably a throw in
from left field in time to cut off McAleer,
who had started from third simultaneously
with the ball. Memphis has signed Reeeius,
late of Cleveland. The score by innings
follows:

Hla Diamond Drsam.
fine Bluff Ark i Letter to the Chicago Herald.
But a few years ago a man of ebony hue
by the name of Wiley Jones was a journey
man barber in one ol the colored shops of
Pine Bluff—and all the barliers here are of
that complexion—drawing the moderate
pay of an ordinary hand. As this son of
Ham stood by the chair in which his cus
tomer sat, and laid the lather on thick, he
gave expression to one wish.
“Do yah know, sah,” he used to say to his
prostrate victim, “dat dis yah nig would
like to hab a diaruon’ de size ob King
White’s! And Fse gwineto hab one, suah: ’
King White is the Mayor of this city, and
is, in the language of oue of Chicago's
reminiscences, “the best” Pine Bluff nas
ever bad. The diamond ho wears is a
brilliant of no mean proportions, and such a
one as might well excite the emulation or
cupidity of the fastidious African exiles.
In dollars its value is 500. and to raise
this amount was Wiley Jones' sole ambi
tion. Wiley was not a scholar, nor could
he even read or write. Nature, however,
gifted him with a long head and a strong
will power, both of which, had they been
properly cultivated from youth, would have
led the negro to a higher” place among his
followers. He was 3o before he liecame am
bitious to possess the big diamond, the
duplicate of King White’s.
His wages, or a major part of them, it is
said, went into a capacious stocking every
week, though the picople of Fine Bluff had
no reason to lielieve from outward indica
tions on Wiley’s part, that he was not sink
ing his money in the flashy foibles to which
the men of hi.-; race take so”kindly. He kept
on shaving and talking diamonds until his
customers began to secretly entertain the
belief that Wiley Jones, whose courtesy and
mild manners made him a favorite, hud
become a monomaniac on the subject. The
dollars accumulated in the stocking until
100 big round silver coins lay together in
the worsted casement. Only a short time
elapsed alter this before it was rumored in
colored society that the burlier bad made a
purchase of a piece of real estate on the
main thoroughfare, and that he had paid
8100 rash on it. This seemed to be the
starting point of Wiley Jones’ for
tune. Rral estate pu chases afvere fyj
quently recorded in his name. He
left the barber shop, but kept
on his way, the same affable, smiling dar
key. A liquor and cigar store soon bore his
name. Then he secured the franchise to lay
horse-car tracks in the city, greatly to tbe
surprise of white men who were slowlv
scheming the same thing, but who were not
quick enough in taking advantage of their
privileges and chances. Within a year cars
were running on all the leading streets of
the city, the whole outfit in the individual
name of W T iley Jones—not in the soulless
cognomen of a corporation, a style so popu
lar in Northern financial circles.
The only race-track in this city was built
by and is owned by him. To-day it is esti
runted that his wealth will not fall
short of $300,000. All this has been
acquired by him within five years,
and he is now more popular with the ne
groes of Pine Biuff than he ever was. The
whites respect him and have reason to be
glad of the presence of such a darkey among
them. There is not a more public-spirited
citizen in the Htate of Arkansas.
He is reputed to be a liberal contributor
to every public movement, and besides own
ing a prosperous mercantile business, a race
track amt a street railway, he is the pos
sessor of the fastest horses in that part of
the country.
Wiley Jones is now 35 years old,
and wtthih the past year has learned to
write his name, hut he can do more in that
line. He has never been married, though
dusky mammas deem him a “splendid
catch,” for he has long since achieved his
ambition in the way of a big diamond,
though he has tired of wearing it in a flan
nel shirt.
Two Kinds of Temper.
From the Boston Transcript.
Within two days the Listener witnessed a
couple of incidents on Washington street,
which illustrated admirably the difference
there is in people. Passing along near the
corner of Temple-place he saw two stout,
elderly ladies standing side by side—one
facing one way, however, and the other the
other way, glaring at each other with furi
ous eyes. There wasa little grinning crowd
about them, and when the Listener catne
quite up to them he saw vvlxat was the mat
ter. In meeting and undertaking to pass,
the clothing of these two elderly ladies had
come in contact, and a projecting button
upon the dress of one had caught in the lace
on the garments of the other. Their strain
to disentangle themselves had drawn them
into a regular snarl; the wrath of each had
been roused to the lioiling point, and each
woman seemed to be exclaiming, in the lan
guage of Seripture. “Who shall deliver me
trom this body of death!” Instead of leav
ing the disentanglement to one of the two,
to be managed with deliberation and discre
tion. each was tugging away spitefully at the
point of jointure. There seemed to be like
lihood of mi occasion for the inteferenee of
the police presently, for the faces of the .two
ladies were growing redder and redder, and
their eyes snapped more and more furi
ously. Presently one lady gave a desperate
tug, the lace gave way and the tie was sev
ered. But imagine the feelings of the lady
whose lace hail been lacerated!
Next day, passing over almost the same
ground, the Listener saw a pretty girl,
brown-eyed, ruddy-cheeked, mid short
haired and a stout Irish woman in a bonnet,
a red and blaek shawl and a green poplin
dress, who were walking in opposite direct
ions, stop all at once, caught fast, just as
the two women of the day before had been.
The voung girl smiled faintly and good-na
turedly. Tne Irish women took in the situ
ation and courtesyed.
“Sure, miss,” said she, “an’ it’s a sign that
we'll meet in heaven!"
Tile young lady smiled more pronounced
ly and said:
“Wait a moment and I will unfasten
it.
With half a minute’s work she disentan
gled the snarl.
“Ah, miss, remimber it,” said the Irish
woman as she moved awdy, radiant with
smiles, “we’re to meet in lienven, sure!”
