The Mayor fined Julia Cotton (colored) #•> for using obscene language. The new Ic. ]K\stage stamps are now being issued, and the new issuo was to be floated when file old issue was exhausted, and this has been done pretty generally throughout the country. There is nothing particularly striking about, the new stamp, except thut It is not quite so elaborate as the old one. The head of Franklin stilt adorns the frontis piece, so to sjienk, and the old man wears a somewhat more intelligible smile than for merly, and what looks like a wig powdered with corn meal. The protilo is said to bo from his bust by Caracci. HUNTING A PANTHER. Savannahians Try a Hand at Large Game. But Fail to Get It. Mr. R. M. Domere and Capt. L. L. Good win have just returned from what was a panther hunt when they started out, but a maroon when they got back. Word came to Capt. Goodwin that the mate of the huge panther which was killed on Bryan neck some time ago was roaming around in the same locality and committing wholesale depredations. Capt. Goodwin had arranged whereby he was to tie informed if the mate made her appearance, and about ten days ago he received the welcomed news. He and Mr. Demero made their arrangements at once and started off in the Ocean Queen, Mr. Demerit's new yacht, for the scene of the panther’s meanderiugs. They arrived at the spot and were hospitably received by the genial old hunter, who lives on the neck, and also by his wife, his eight sons and his four daughters. They started out that night after the panther and camped within 300 yards of where the other was killed, but they did not even hear a growl. This encampment was kept up several times, But though the panther had been making iimself perfectly at home before the hunters arrived, she seemed to scent danger and kept clear of the spot, so at last she was driven up and the sportsmen turned their at tention to game of other sorts. Not being able to shoot a panther they went coon hunting, and in this line they were more successful, for they caught, four. Besides these they killed three rattlesnakes and shot one deer. They hail a shot at an other. but that deer is still roaming about., none the worse for the explosion of gunpow der that occurred just as he passed within range of Capt. Goodwin. Having tried their hands at several kinds of sport they took in all other sorts they could find, so one morn ing they went rice-bird shooting and filled the game bag at one shot, for thirty-three rieehirds fell at the first discharge. Fish ing also claimed a part of their time, and Capt. Goodwin said that they caught more than they wanted, and xvliat delighted him most were the elegant shrimps that seemed to come up just for the purpose of being caught. ’They dirt not catch the panther, tut there are five pounds more of Capt. Goodwiu than there were. COLD WEATHER ON THE WAY. Mercury Down Among the Sixties— An End to the Warm Spell. The storm of yesterday afternoon was caused by a low barometer area, which moved down the coast, producing storms in Georgia. The movement of this low area from northeast to southwest was contrary to the usual direction that is taken by siini lar'areas. They generally move in the di rection exactly opjawite. There was a pretty severe blow, too, during the storm, the wind traveling at one time at the rate of SO miles an hour. The temjxnature felt from Mi” to •ih , those figures being the maximum and minimum of temperature of the day. The indications are for clear and cooler weather to-day and a probable continuance of the ccol v\ oather for several days to come, ns the high barometer centre thaf was in the northwest two days ago has moved southeast, and is nowW-entral over Kansas and Missouri. Beginning at Leavenworth, Kas., is a line extending t hrough Missouri and Ohio, and all the stations on that line reported a temperature of 41“ last night. The area is moving in this direction, and until it is dissipated the weather will be cool. All the cotton districts reported rain yester day. THE AUTUMN EXHIBITION Of the Floral and Art Association to be Held in November. The Executive Committee of the Floral and Art Association has fixed the dates of its autumn exhibition on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Nov. 2, 8 and 4. When the premium list was made up and issued the exhibition was arranged for October, hut the scarcity ol flowers, owing to the bad season and the fact that the Htate Fair and the Piedmont Exposition would in a measure interfere w ith its suc cess, it was deemed advisable to postpone it until November. The committee is already at work, and will endeavor to make the coining exhibition excel either ot those which the association has already In id. It will probably lie in Armory Hall and the adjoining grounds, amt the arrangement of the floral building will be about the same as it was last spring. The premium list is larger, and the exhibi tion will tv altogether on a larger scale than eit her of the others. The art and fancy work departments will be given special at tention. # The Central's New Building. The Central Railroad Company expects to occupy its new quarters in about a month. The work has been somewhat, de layed. but is now Isdng pushed very rapidly, and it will be completed Ivfora long. In this building will lie the ofi! -os of the traf fic manager and his assistants.

The funeral of the late Mrs. Rebecca Long street Axson, wife of Rev. I. H. K. Axson, I). IV, was attended from the Independent Presbyterian Sunday school room yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, by a large concourse of people. The services, though brief, were deeply impressive. The remains were escorted from the residence of the deceased's son, Mr. Randolph Axson, on Hall street, to the church. The casket rested in front of the pulpit and was surrounded by the mem bers of the bereaved family. Tho hymn, "How Hirst the Righteous When He Dios, - ' was sung by the church choir. Rev. Dr. Bowman, of the Evangelical Lutheran church, conducted the services n.id read an appropriate Scriptural lesson. I R"\\ R. Q. Wav, of the Anderson Street church, offered a fervent and effective prayer, invoking the Divine blessing upon the bereaved family. Dr. Bowman spoke briefly of the life of the deceased and of her Christian virtues. To the members of the afflicted family he offered words of com fort, pointing to the great life hereafter where death and separation are not known anil where eternal happiness exists. There was a deep hush through the church and many wept as the preacher spoke of the noble life that, is now ended. When Dr. Bowman concluded the choir sang: Asleep iu Jesus! Blessed sleep From which none ever wake to weep; A calm and undisturbed impose, Unbroken by the last of foes. Asleep in Jesus! O, how sweet To be for such a slumber meet, With holy confidence to sing That death bath lost its venomed sting. After the benediction the remains were escorted to their last resting place at Igiurel Grove. The services at the grave were very brief. There wane many beautiful floral offerings. A star of dahlias and roses rest ing 11 { kjii a sheaf of wheat, from the Indies of the church, a crown of roses from the Sunday school, a beautiful harp of white roses from the church choir, wore among the most beautiful. These rested upon the pulpit. The lid of the casket bore a silver plate with the simple inscription: * * : Rebecca L. Axson. Died September 22, 1887. * ¥■ The pall-bearers were Messrs. W. H. Baker, George C. Freeman, Joseph C. Clay, Horace R. G. Fleming and Thomas Ballaiityne. THE TOWN OF POOLER. Its Future as a Suburb of Georgia’s Commercial Metropolis. Pooler, the first station on the Central railroad, is ten miles from Savannah. It is as old as thut corporation, and was named after the late Capt. R. W. Pooler, a promi nent resident of this city, and one of the projectors of the then infant enterprise. It probably had, as many other railroad sta tions have had, "great expectations,” It is possible that it might have had what is now called a “boom,” out as far back as the memory of the generation of the living goes "Pooler” has been nothing, but Station No 1, Central railroad, it has, however, within the past year or two taken a start, ami bids fair to l>e quite a town Sixteen houses have been built in the last three months, one of which is a two-story school house. The latter is to be furnished with three teachers by the Board of Educa tion of Chatham county, and will be under its control. Pooler has a Masonic lodge, known as Turner Lodge U. D. Its cotton receipts so far this year have been one bale. There was no rejoicing, however, of its arrival, except with the farmer who raised it. He was about hauling it into Savannah in his cart, as usual, but "the boys” were anxious to give the town a position in the commercial world, so they got the farmer to let it be shipped by rail and they paid the freight. The principal advantages afforded to set tlers in Pooler are large lots at low prices, a healthy location and proximity to the city, with the advantages of the country. Like Guyton. Marlow and Egypt, Pooler is des tined to become the residence of many peo ple who do business in Savannah. OVER IN CHARLESTON. What Is Going on in South Carolina’s Metropolis. The lower part of Legate street is the wene of a number of architectural improve ments which, when completed, will greatly beautify that already handsome locality. A carload of bananas from Baracoa reached Charleston Thursday, via New (>r leans. The local dealers cannot import di rect until after the quarantine is raised on Nov. 1. The Charleston Light Dragoons are mak ing preparations for a Fair which will be held in Charleston on November 22. The pro ceeds of the fair will be devoted to the resto ration of the monument to the dead Drag oons at Magnolia Cemetery, and which was seriously damaged by the earthquake. The Phoenix Furniture and Furnishing Company has t>een organized. The capital stock is $15,000. The officers are: Presi dent, J. M. Scignious; directors,G. A. Wag oner, Charles I.itschgi, \V. M. Bird, H. Furchgott, J. M. Seignious; Secretary and Treasurer, A. W. Litschgi; solicitor, James Simons. The new city street railway which will be known as the West End line, will run through Broad and Rutledge streets, pass ing the Lake and connecting with tho main road at the corner of Broa i and Meeting streets and at the corner of Wentworth anti Rutledge streets, thus completing the belt around tho western border of the city. The Charleston Bridge Company will make an application to the Legislature at its next session, for an amendment to their charter permitting them to construct a rail read across the Ashley bridge connecting the city with St. Andrew’s Parish. The building of the read has been de cided upon, and if the amendment is granted, it is exjiected to have the road in operation at an early day. It has not yet been decided whether the mo tive power will lie horses or electricity. How the Clubs Stand. The following is the Southern League standing: Hunk. dubs. Wow. Lost. Per rent. 1.

CHARLESTON CHICAGOED. Hungler Gets Sulky and is Knocked all Over the Field. Ntw Orleaxs, La., Kept. 38. —To-day’s game started out like an even contest, hut the deadlock did not last long. Himgler has become so accustomed to posing as the great injured that he sulked when McVey and Powell got bases on balls m the third, and spluttered around tho Held looking for sympathy from his nine, but got none. (’aiupau then knocked the ball clean over the right Held fence, bringing in two, and securing the third run, himself. This com pletely broke Huuglers heart, and he was an easy mark for the lo cals who pounded him all through the game. Glenn and Earl did brilliant work in his support, but the rest were not so active. Nicholas caught finely until the eighth, when a terrific wild pitch disgusted nim, and he allowed two runs to come in on it. Powell publicly reprimanded him. The visitors could do nothing with Ewing, and he received fine support all around. r Bradley’s two errors, the only made by New Orleuns, were not costly, and the team played great ball in every department. The ■score by innings is as follows: New Orleans 0 0 3 0 5 3 0 2 o—l3 Charleston 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0— 0 Batteries Ewing and Vaughn, Bungler and Nicholas. Base hits—New Orleans 25, Charleston 4.

Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Mr. H. W. Gabbett, Southwestern agent of the Central Railroad mid Ocean* Steam ship Company at Forth Worth, Tex., is in tho city. Mr. J. L. Adams, traveling passenger agent of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, has resigned from the company’s service, and will accept a position in the Sissenger department of the Richmond anil anville road. Mi'. William C. Stevens, whose resigna tion as roadmaster of the Central railroad, to accept a like position on the Mexican National, was i-ecently noted, will leave for Mexico Oct.. 1, where he will reside. His successor has not yet been named. The Drtil'i National Hotel Reporter ron tained the following in its issue of the 17th inst: The prospects are good for a prosperous winter season among Florida hotels. Tho resorts in Florida. Georgia and South Caro lina are so much more accessible than those of California that the former will always control the greatest portion of winter pleas ure travel. This year it will be possible to reach Florida from New York much more quickly and agreeably than ever before. After the hottest campaign on record, the vote was taken in Nashville Thursday, on the proposition to subscribe $500,000 to the Tennessee Midland Railroad Company, and was defeated by a few votes. Five country districts are not heard from, but it is not expectxxl that the majority is suffi cient to carry the proposition. Under the State law it requires three fourths of the total vote cast to carry the subscription, and the vote, as far as report ed, stands for the subscription 12,971,against 4,507. The total vote in the county is the heaviest on record by 2,000 or 3,000, due to the fact that employes of the Louisville and Nashville system and the Nashville and Chattanooga road came in by ear loads and voted. Negro road hands from Birming ham from the Chattanooga road down as far as Bridgeport, and from the Louisville and Nashville were in the city, and it is charged that these were voted against the proposition. There was no bloodshed, but a good many little fights, and the day was tn uch more quiet than expected. Local Personal. ,J. R. Saussy, Esq., left last night for New York Rev. J. E. L.

Passing down Congress street my attention was attracted to the show window of West & Calderwood’s confec tionery, which was thronged with bees bus ily engaged upon the lumps of sugar and candy there displayed, covering themselves with sweets in the ex]>ecfationi of convey ing the golden harvest, which they had dis covered, to their hive “Mighty good ad,” I remarked to the pro prietor, stepping inside to investigate fur ther. “Yes, better than we desire. They have taken possession of the establishment and are running things in the back shop at a high old rate. Look here.” Throwing open tho door as he spoke what was iny astonishment to see the place liter ally full of tho little winced sweet-seekers. They were everywhere. Not a square inch of space where lingered any atoms of the sweets manufactured there but was covered by them. The utensils used in the act came in for especial favor. Pots, pans, and ladles could not lie distinguished as such, but pre sented the appearance of a struggling, swaying brown mass, while the noise they made was enough to warn us that retreat was the best move we could make. Those in the outside shop were hut skirmishers from tho army within, yet they served to make things very lively for proprietors, who were at a loss how to proceed. Very cautiously I moved about, giving to the bees all the room they desired, for, after loading themselves with all they could carry, in their endeavor to reach the outside and start for the hive with their treasure, they would dart back and forth in the shop in search of the exit in a way quite too sug gestive of stings. So, leaving the shopmen to get rid of the enemy as best they could, I strolled up the street. Another prominent confectioner said: “It is not at all an uncommon thing for us to be troubled with bees—though a whole swarm seldom makes a descent upon a place at once: but let the straggler get home to the hive with a load of sweets, and back he will come, bringing some of his fellows with him, to be increased each time until the whole place is swarmed with them. Then the only thing to tie done is to close doors and windows and light them to the death. We have to keep an eye open for bees at this season, and if we see a straggler kill him on the spot before lie gets a chance to tell his sisters, his cousins, and his aunts that he’s found a bonanza.” Staking Out His Claim. From the. New York Tribune. A slim young man was perched on a stool in one of the large restaurants devouring a strawberry dumpling. The capacity of the restaurant was not sufficient for the rush of customers, and behind the fortunate posses sors ul' stools formed another line of hungry candidates glaring over tho shoulders of the eaters, and watching each mouthful disap lieur. Behind the slim young man, how ever, four hungry eyes watched the vanish ing fragments of strawberry dumpling. There were two contestants for the seat, a corpulent old nerson in spectacles and a tali man with a silk hat. The slim young man completing his lunch climhe l down from his perch, und the cor pu.eut watcher, with great activity, began to climb up. “Hold on," said the other candidate gruffly. “What fort” “Because, sir, I have a right to.the seat. I was here, sir, when that young man began to eat his dumpling. Perhaps, ’ added the tall man scornfully, “you think I have been standing here just to count how many mouthfuls there are in a strawberry dumpling.” Tho ederly man laid his hand on the stool and said with the confident air of one who holds four aces, “1 am very sorry sir, but you really have no claim at all. I was here when this young man was unable to de cide whether he wanted a strawberry dump ling orcustard pie.” And then the corpulent old man, having “seen” the tall man and gone him one lot ter, climbed upon the stool, and his rival moved sadly alone to stake out another claim on a man who had just ordered fish balls with tomato sauce. “BARBED WIRE BRANDY.” The Sort of Liquor un Unsuspicious Jerseyman Drank. From the Newark Call. A Rahway man visited a liquor store in this city last week and began to chaff the proprietor by saying that he had no pure 0l(| applejack in the place.., The liquor dealer had a part of n txirrol of Morris county whisky tual had not t>cen touched since 18*15, and he resolved to try a dose of it upon the Rahwegntn, who was evidently “working him” for a dr.nk. Going into the '■cllar with n suction tube he drew a gill of the applejack, an 1 join ing it into a glass handed it, to the visitor, whose eyes snapped as lie sinelle I the aroma nst-.g from it He gtß|)ed it, all down at rtpe swallow, and a moment later emitted a sound like a puff of steam from an exhaust pipe while the tears started from his eyes. “Water! water! lor mercy's sake,” he gasped, and after drinking a pint of ice water he snt down on a wine case and nihlied his throe' i."d cheat, “Well, what do you think of that;” said the liquor dealer m tone- of satisfaction. “Was that applejack: asked the vii-tnii. “That was In out two-year-old cider brandy, pure and irucbiltei ated,” laid Ilia dealer with pride “Well, I'm giau of t ii,' Raid the Rah wegmn -J tnou/ht may lie it was adulter atoo with hut Is-d felt' <• w ire, and I’d *wal ierivj n rol <>r two o) tti fence, tsssts and all.” I’mk enriis ai. l ueeHk iokJ <i/zJin* taelh And tiswth of .r and lips of ruse Ar> foijiid no- j this soida tienwatb With y.iiiq m oil meanly tkar Whoever ei C,, e i••■• they may I'm- NI ...I Ijm and day The first severe ffod of tke ares.su will tse bare dwrtly altsr if lavyk Hre sdis play of fasiuousbia i suit* and fuixusktags.

From Science. Sir AM ley Cooper used to relate the following anecdote of an Irish candidate before the exam iniopr boar*! of the London college: ‘ What is a simple and what is a compound fracture?” asked the examiner. The repiy was: "A sim ple fracture is when the bone is broken; and a compound fracture when it's all broke.” Sir Astley asked him what he meant by ‘ all broke.” ”1 mean,” he replied, "broke into smithereens, to be sure.” I ventured to ask him what was ‘smithereens.” He turned upon me with intense expression of sympathy upon his countenance. “You don't know what is smithereens? Then I give you up." Distress After Eating. This result of indigestion will no longer be exfiertenced if Simmons Liver Regulator is taken after each meal. It is such a good digester, and so inild and pleasant in its ef lect that it is used by many, after a hearty meal, to insure good digestion. The Regu lator does not nauseate or irritate the stom ach, hut corrects acidity, dispels foul gases, allays irritation and assists the stomach in its digestion. Advice to Motners. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Svrup should always lie used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep bv relieving the child from pain and the little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhina, whether arising from teething or other causes. 25 cents a bottlo.
