The British steamship Fosoolia arrived yesterday from Boston. She will load naval etores for the Continent. The tug Iris arrived yesterday and an chored at Taggart’s wharf. She is from P'ernaiidina on her way to Boston. Messrs.

The steamer David Clark is leaking, and she was taken up the river yesterday and run up on a sandbank near the Hermitage, so that the leak could lie got at. Running -her on the hank, however, strained her, ana the leak was increased. A tug was sent to rump her out, but is unable to keep her ree, and it is said that she is strained so badly that the tide ebbs and flows in her. The pumping out* of the British steamship Hughenden was finished yesterday and the vessel was floated. She was transferred from her old berth to Haywood & Gage's ice wharves, ■where the work of discharging the wet cotton was begun and was continued until the rain came up, when the men were com pelled to quit. About ti.ll bales were taken out. The whole job will be finished by Saturday night. The tug Jacob Brandon, with the steamer City of Bridgeton in tow. returned to the city yesterday after having remained over night at Tybee. It was the intention to tow her outside, as the tug drew too much water to go inside. The weather being so rough outside the trip for the time hail to lie * hardened, and both vessels returned. The Brandon will depart for Charleston to-day, and a lighter draught tug will lie sent over soon to tow the Bridgeton by the inside route. SHOT BY A NEGRO FIREMAN. The Former Captain of the Tug Mag gie Dangerously Wounded. ('apt. W. N. Williams, who was shot by a negro, Charles Robinson, in an affray on River street Wednesday afternoon, is lying seriously wounded at his home, on Wilson street. He is attended by Dr. B. S. Purse, who located the bullet in the wounded man's right side, but is unable to remove it at present. The wound is deep, and though it may not prove fatal, it is in a dangerous spot. The bullet, si ruck his right arm, and passing through it entered his side. Williams was, until about two weeks ago, in command of the tug Maggie. His assail ant was a fireman on the tug Wiiipenny, Capt. Ronlineaii. but was recently dis charged. When the affray o<-cured, Robin son was talking with (’apt. Boulineeu. "Williams came up and had some words ■with the negro. In a few minutes, he drew a pistol and, it is reported, attempted to shoot him. Robin son returned the fire wounding Williams in the side. The wounded man was removed to his home, and a physician was summoned. His wound bled rapidly, and he soon became weak from the loss of blood. Robinson has not been arrested. A HEAVY RAINFALL. But It Was Only a Local Storm -The Cyclone Gone to Sea. The midnight reports of the Signal Ser vice showed that the rainfall yesterday was not general over this section of the country. The rainfall here amounted to 1.20 inches, being the heaviest rain that has been re corded here for a number of months. The only other station in this district reporting rain was Jesup, where .53 inches fell. The dorm which was central over the lake region moved off the New England coast. The cyclone which was central in the Gulf has evidently moved to sea, and the proba bilities are that it will not affect this part of the country. The thermometer is highest in the ex treme Northwest,, where the temperature has fallen, hut owing to the presence of the cyclone in the Gulf it will not affect the temperature here for several days. The lowest temperature reported in this district yesterday was 46* at Fort Gaines, Eastman end Millen. PREPARING FOR ATLANTA. The Military Arranging for tha Ex position Trip. The Savannah military will lie well rep resented at Atlanta next week. The First, regiment will carry up about 150 men, the Guards, Hussars and Cha tha ms will he rep resented by citizen detachments.

Coroner Dixon held an inquest yesterday , on the body of Seaborn Guest, who was shot by S. M. Pritchard on Wednesday night. Miss Susie Davis, keeper of tiio boarding house where the tragedy occurred. Dr. Kennedy, W. B. Hicks and W. H. Matthews, were the principal witnesses. William Kliiot and S. M. Pritchard were on hand, but their testimony was not need ed. The testimony of the witnesses was tbe same that was published in yesterdays Morning News. The jury said it did not care to hear the statements oi Elliot and Pritchard, as they had made up their minds that the shooting was done in self-defense, and they found a verdict in accordance with that belief, and added that they considered Elliot responsible for the killing. Pritchard was released, and he was on I he street in the afternoon attending to his business. Elliot was taken liefore Acting Mayor Schwarz, in the morning, charged with dis orderly conduct in creating a disturbance in the house of Miss Davis. He was the companion df Guest. The testimony in the cax‘ was the same as that published in the MnuM.NO News, as the statements of the witnesses of the affair. Maj. Schwarz said that it appeared to him that Elliot had been drunk and exceedingly disorderly. He had led Guest into the trouble which resulted in liis death, and he considered Elliot in a measure responsible for the killing. He ini|iserl the full penalty, viz.: $lOO fine and thirty days imprisonment. R. J. LARCOMBE DEAD. One of Savannah’s Well Known Citi zens Claimed by the Grim Reaper. Mr. Richard J. Larcombe died at the resi dence of his son-in law, Julian Schley, Esq., on Harris street near Whitaker, at 1:15 o’clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness of only a few days.

He was in the cotton business prior to that time, but since then he has been connected with the firms of AViloox, Gibbs <fc Cos. and Merriman & Cos., of Baltimore. Mr. larcombe was a gentleman of literary tastes, ami a poet of no ordinary ability, as those who have seen his poems, published in the Morning News and elsewhere, will remember. He was a member of Bt. Andrew's (Society, the Chatham Artillery and the Georgia His torical Society, in all of which he was an honored member. His funeral will take I dace from the Baptist church this afternoon at 5 o’clock. CLERKS WANT EARLY CLOSING. A Movement to Close at 7 O’clock Instead of 9. The Forest City Clerks’ Association is making a move toward early closing among the retail merchants. A committee from the association has had a conference with a number of business firms this week. The proposition which they submit is to close up every night, except Saturdays, from the Ihi h to tne end of each month at 7 o’clock. The general closing hour now is !) o’clock, although one or two houses have taken the initiative and close up at 7. The clerks say that they are willing to work until 9 o’clock ten days every month, and Saturdays, of course, but they think that, the merchants ought to close up early the rest of the mouth. The movement was started among the clothing houses, and most of them have already agreed to the clerks’ proposition. A meet ing wiil be held on Kunday and an effort will be made next week to get the move ment thoroughly inaugurated. TO GO TO MACON. The Veterans’ Association to Send a Delegation on Oct. 26.

The bride is the only daughter of Capt. ami Mrs. Adolphus Marmelstein, and is one of Savannah’s fair est daughters: lovely not only in those charms which render mmt. of her sex at tractive, but also ill those higher attributes which tend to make women not only loved but honored and respected, a bright and happy disjiosition. The groom is a young gentleman well-known in Savannah, and is a son of Mr A. J. Miller, one of our oldest merchants, in whose business lie is inter ested. If the good wishes of those who saw them married will add to their happiness and follow them through life, Mr. and Mrs. Miller will be happy indeed. The “Standard’s” Opening Hop. The Standard Club gave its opening hop of the season at Armory Hall last night, and it was one of the pleasantest and most successful society entertainments tliat the club has ever given. The floor was filled with merry dancers from the time of the o|iening inarch to the last “Good Night.” An elegant supper was served, and the affair was voted by every one present a delightful success.

Nicholas hap|iened to pass by, and see ing their distress, took them in tow and brought thorn to the city. Veterans Tell War Stories.

Track Laying on the 8., D. Jit W. to Begin in Thirty Days. General Manager West, of the Birming ham and Atlantic Air-Line railroad re coiled a telegram yesterday from the man ufacturers, stating tliat the iron for the eastern end of the road is ready to be shipped as soon as the company is ready for it. The contractors, Messrs. Carpenter, Grant, Murnly & Cos., have 50,000 cubic yards of earth yet to move, which will complete the grading of the first fifty miles of the road. Track laying, Major West snjs. will begin within thirty days. Everything is going ahead in gocsl shape and there is nothing in the way now of an early completion of the road. Mr. AV. A. Handley, one of Birmingham’s millionaires, and President of the Alabama division of the road, has au interest in the Birmingham Herald, in which he points out the ad vantages of the road and the effect its com pletion will have on the development of a large territory in the South. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Chief Engineer Elliot, of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, is making liis final Inspection of the road, previous to its opening for traffic. It is understood that arrangements are about made to place Pullman sleepers on the Central railroad. The Central has run its own sleepers heretofore. In a few' months the Louisville and Nash ville system will lie running regularly to Sheffield, and it is stated that the shops of the branch line from that point to Colum bia, Tenu., will bo located at the former place. Gen. Hoke, President of the G. C. and N. railroad, and Maj. Morrison, Chief Engi neer, were iu Lawrenceville a few days ago and held a conference with the citizens of Gwinnett county in regard to the new road. There is no doubt, said Gen. Hoke, about the road being built. Track laying will be gin on the North Carolina end next week, und fifty miles will be put down this fall. Between Athens and Atlanta the road is lo cated to Green Smith's, and from Braden’s to Atlanta. The intervening line is still in doubt, but it will either be run by law renceville or near Trip, nbout three and a half miles below. The latter is the shorter route, but which will be the most expensive cannot be determined until the full esti mates are made up. The fourteenth meeting of the Association of North American Railroad Superin tendents, was held this week at the hotel Brunswick, in New York Among those present, were C. 8. Gads den, Superintendent of the Charleston and Savannah railroad, and Capt. R. G. Flem ing, Superintendent of the Savannah, Flori da and Western railway. Mr. Fleming, Chairman of the Committee ou Machinery, read a report recommending the adoption of uniform train rules and “train orders,” a standard passenger car coupler and certain patent axles ami journal (sixes. Alter dis cussion the report was adopted, except that portion relating to the car coupler. Capt. Gadsden read a paper urging tne necessity of keeping records of all through trains. His ideas were generally acquiesced in as good. The Birmingham Air-Line. The Birmingham Herald has a column history of the Birmingham and Atlautic Air-Line. At present, it says, the prosjiects for the road seem bright, and there is little doubt that in the next eighteen months it will lie completed and in operation. “The new road,” it adds, “will lie one of Birmingham’s most valuable feeders. It runs through one of the best mineral, tim bered and agricultural sections in Alabama, and a rich agricultural country in Georgia, passing through many thriving towns and making connections with innumerable rail roads. When it is completed it will open up an extensive district, formerly supplied with merchandise from the cities of the North and AV’ost, for the operations of the whole sale merchants of Birmingham, and greatly increase the importance of this city as a distributing point. It will be the shortest line from here to the Atlantic ocean, and will furnish another outlet whereby the coal, iron, marble and other mineral wealth of North Alabama anti Birmingham will seek the world’s great highways of com merce ” EVENTS IN CHARLiSTON.

A Few Sharp Suggestions on Dr. Dun can’s Ordinance on the Subject. Editor Morning News: 1 must confess myself surprised at the dumb stupidity with which the tax payers of Savannah allow themselves to be trampled upon by official tyranny, preyed upon through official in efficiency, and murdered through official imbecility. lam aware that this is exceed ingly strong language; hut it takes strong language to wake up people from their lethargy, and to make them realize that there Is something more for public officers to do than skim over tlieir work, tell good stories, drink good whisky, and smoke good cigars. My first charge is that they are trampled upon through official tyranny; and the fact that the Sanitary Board anil Health Com mittee of Council are fully aware that they have the power to lay down a flushed sys tem of lane sewers, which can not only be done at one-fifth the expense of the plan involved in Dr. Duncan’s ordinance, but will be a thousand times lietter and safer iu its sanitary usefulness, places iqion Council and the Sanitary Board the shame of not trying to provide the really sanitary and certainly economical system provided for by legislative enactment. My second charge is ttiat we are trampled upon through official inefficiency. In blocks where ten houses exist, sewer connections will cost SSO to $l5O, or an average of about $75 to each house un der Dr. Duncan’s ordinance ; and, counting both blocks which ought to he accommo dated by a central lane pipe, the cost for twenty houses would lie alsjut $1,500. In addition to this conies the red tape expense called a permit for each connection, that is, sl4 for each house—sl4o for ten houses und S2BO for twenty houses or two blocks. Now, under the system which I advocated, and for the execution of which the I legisla ture has already granted power to the city, the central lane pipe for the two blocks of, say twenty houses, would cost about S3OO, that is sls to each house, in other w ords,each house would save SOO out of $75, and the twenty houses would save $1,200 out of $1,500 It strikes me that we are pay ing a very dear price for the “efficiency” of our sanitary authorities, at least iu a prac tical business way. My third charge is that we are murdered through official imbecility. It will, per haps, amaze this lethargic, conservative (!) (as it delights to call itself!!) community to be told that Judge Chisholm’s daughter, Dr. Harris’ daughter, and countless others w'honi I could name, lost their lives from just such a system of house drainage as that provided for by Dr. Duncan’s ordinance. My familiarity with these facts when I was a member of the Sanitary Board induced me to study lip thoroughly the wisest means of saving these precious lives. But the political whirligig which placed Mayor i.ester in office lopped me off of the Sanitary Board, and the most earnest worker for the health of the city gave place to the usual Savannah conservatism, leth argy, lack of earnestness, and blundering do-nothing ness. Thus, month after month we are plundered of thousands, when we ought to pay but hundreds, and the scythe of death sharpens its edge ou the conserva tism of our sanitary authorities. “Death loves a shining mark,” and Dr. Duncan’s ordinance, if carried out. will increase just so much the number of “shining marks.” Loins A. Fa.li.ig ant, M. D., Formerly member of the Sanitary Board, etc. Note—No city in the world is located with better opportunity for good house drainage, and no city in the world is more blunderingly governed in this respect. L. A. F. GETTING AT THE FACTS. Something New About Quarantine Matters. Savannah, Oct. 14. — Editor Morning News: The captain, K. T. Ommundxseu, of the hark Pomona, stated in a letter that ap peared in your issue of Oct. 11, that liis vessel of 411 tons, and the Ankathor, 745 tons, arrived at Savannah quarantine station Sept. 10, both from Santos, Brazil, and that the Ankathor was' ordered to Brunswick Sept. 21, and the Pomona to Savannah. He also stated that the day the “Pomona was released from quarantine here” he “received information that the Ankathor had already lieen released four or five days earlier, and had nearly completed loading .” The truth of the statement of the captain of the Pomona was denied at the meeting of the Sanitary Hi xml, and t he committee of the Board of Trade. liet us see what did take place, and find out if the captain of the Pomona was cor rectly informed. The Ankathor on Sopt. 21 weighed anchor for Brunswick, and reached that port on Sept. 22: was detained there eight days, nine days inclusive, and reached her dock Sept. 30. Fortunate Ankathor ? Now, what became of the Pomona in our waters, and consigned to Savannah’s tender mercy! She entered at Savannah Oct. 4, after a fifteen day's’de tention, and four days after the Ankathor entered her haven, notwithstanding the Ankathor sailed for another port, which is said to lie in the quarantine “pool,” and which ton,■ days the Ankathor employed in loading, and the Pomona in investigating our quarantine system, an occupation not remunerative to ship owners. Fair Pi,ay. ANXIOUS FOR RAILROADS. One Who is Ready to Assist with Cash to Build Them. Savannah, Oct. 13. Editor Morning News: l think the railroad question alluded to in this morning's issue should receive the serious attention of every Savannah mer chant. If we remain idle while our sister cities build roads to pass almost in sight of us, taking our trade from us. and building up other ports while we sleep away the op portunity, we shall have no one to blame but ourselves. Savannah has more hanking capital than all the other cities in Georgia put together, lias thousands of dollars locked up iu small paying securities, as well ns plenty of idle cash: arid with all of these advantage.- why cannot we build railroads ami manufacture so many of the things pro duced at our very doors! Some cry, no water power, while we have plenty of wood, coal, and better facilities than some cities that have millions invested in manufac turing. We are justly called old fogies and criticised for our lack of push and energy, but I believe if the right men will take this thing in hand, we can raise the money and furnish enough enterprise to accomplish all that Savannah needs. Men that are actively engaged in business have little time to investigate outside affairs and must have full confidence in the men who are placed at the head of etc., and nothing ■•an succeed that, is in any way connected with a class of men that have a reputation for originating schemes, for the sole object of making money for themselves, commonly railed “freeze out.” E. Lung Troubles and Wasting diseases can lie cured, if properly treated in time, as shown by the following statement from D. t‘. Freeman, Sydney: “Having been a great sufferer from pulmonary at tacks, and gradually wasting away for the past two years, it affords me pleasure to testify that Scott’s Emci.sion or Cod Liver Oil with Lime and Soda has given me great relief, and I cheerfully recommend it to all suffering in a similar way to myself, in addition, I would say thnt it is very pleas ant to take.” Best Leaf liard, 13 pounds for sl, at R.

The League Champions Have Four Games to St. Louis' One. Pittsburg, Oct. 13.—'The Detroit* won the fourth game of the world's eliampion ship series, played here to-day. Three thousand people were present. The victory was an easy one for the league champions, who nevertheless played a wonderful game, shutting St. I<ouis out. King pitched for the Browns, and was batted very freely from the first, Detroit scoring four runs in the first inning. St. Louis made only two hits off Baldwin. Magnificent fielding cut off many hits of the Browns in the first inning. The score by innings follows: St. Louis 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o—o Detroit 4 1 0 0 1 3 0 0 0-8 Base fins St. Louis 3. Detroit 12. Errors—St. I.ouis li, Detroit 1. Harbor Dues—Tonnage Tax. The shipowner does not object to paying for the services of a harbor master when rendered, just as they pay the port wardens, but they do object to the city of Savannah, under the pretext of “services,” levying dues on commerce amounting to $12,000 for that which costs less than s3,ooo—leaving a clear profit to the city of SIO,OOO. Last year the representatives of coastwise shipping (steam and sail) proposed to the authorities to pay all expenses of the Harbor Master and allow a fair margin of profit, but they objected to paying the enormous amount of seven hundred per cent. The significant answer of the powers that tie was “all or none!” Now, gentlemen, the Supreme Court of the United States has told you that you have just as much right to charge the cost of police and fire service or shipping as that of the Harbor Master and Port Wardens, and as you want “all” why not levy a duty to cover the cost of the ninety firemen employed as police and fire men' Add a little SIO,OOO margin to each man and you have the snug sum of $1,000,- (X)0. The shipowner can’t help himself. There is wool for the shearing. Step up, gentlemen, don't be bashful; “all or none” is a good business motto. No matter if the goose dies, so Jong as you get the eggs. “Ex.” A Big Crop of Weddings.
