She Seeks Frotection in a House and 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. He Takes a Horse From tho Market and is Caught In tho Country. A negro named Cuffy Morgan was locked up in jail yesterday on the charge of steal ing a home from Mr. J. E. Saudi ford. Mr. 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 and gene back to its stable, so he was lint much worried alioiit it until !io went home and found that it had not come back. Just ns he left the house, after dinner, he met Justice* Foil talno, of the Seventh district, who informed him that Morgan had ridden the animal to his office, seven miles from the city, and of feivd t" sell him lor $ll. The Justice recog tiixed tin* horse, uud in order b> secure it. lm told Morgan that ho would accept the niter. sVbon the negro dismounted ho was cap tured, and brought, with the horse, to the city.

C., a number of rattle snake* w ore discovered, nnd liefore tbe hoe ing was done IS of these terrible reptiles were killed. It was thought that that wholesale slaughter had exterminated all tlie snakes in tlie vicinity, but in going over the jiatch again last week eight more rattle snake* were killed. 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. Willie Floetxvood’B Remains Interred -Affidavits by His Companions. The funeral of William M. Fleetwood, who was drownod Hunday, was hold yester day morning. The services took place from Capt. SV. H. Fleetwood's residence, 80' , 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 employes attended the services. The r ins were buried nt Bona venture. 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."

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: Charleston 1 5 1 1 0 0 1 0 x—9 Memphis 0 0 0 2 2 0 1 0 o—s Batteries- Ilungler and Childs for Charleston.

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!” Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars for Asheville.
