A ROW IX LOVERS* LANE,
KNIVES AND PISTOLS USED IN A
CROWD.
An Unknown Negro is Shot, but Not
Dangerously Wounded -The Com
batants Disperse After the Shooting
The Neighbors Profess Ignorance of
Whcvfhe Parties Are.
About 11 o’clock last night a crowd of
negroes in the neighborhood of Dieter's
store, on Ixiver’s Lane, got into a row. They
had been 'drinking and all of them were
more or less under the influence of liquor,
and a quarrel between two of them
began and soon every one of
them in a free fight.
Knives were drawn and pistols
brought into action. Two shots were fired,
one of the balls taking effect in the body of
a negro who lives some distance from the
scene of the fight. Several of the rioters
were cut, but none of them seriously
hurt except the one who was shot. The
fight did not last long after the shooting,
but all those who had taken part in it fled
to their homes and remained concealed for
the rest of the night. The wounded man
was not too liadly hurt to get into his
wast'd and drive to his home.
The nows of the fight was brought to the
city by a negro, who rushed into the bar
racks and asked that an officer be sent out,
Raying that the whole neighborhood was in
a fight, and that the negroes w'ere cutting
and shooting each'other and committing
terrible slaughter. Word was sent to < Iffi
cer Baughn to ride out there, and he went
as far as the toll-gate, hut finding that the
tight had occurred outside the city limits,
he was compel lefl to turn back. A Morn
Ixo News reporter went out there und
routed a dozen negroes out of
their houses to find out the
particulars of the affair, but the negroes
refused to give uny information They all
knew that there had been a big fight, and
that one man was shot, but not seriously
hurt, and they professed ignorance of who
lie was. or who had done the shooting.
Game said he was a stranger in that vicini
ty. Be,fore the messenger, who came in to
the barracks hat returned to the scene,
everything was as quiet as if there had been
■no disturbance.
THE PALATKA QUARANTINE.
The Sanitary Board Decides to Remove
It-Tlie Danger Past.
The health authorities of Gainesville and
Jacksonville h* i about concluded to raise
the Palatka qtiavajtine They telegraphed
to Savannah to know if the Health Board
liere would consent to its being raised and
the reply was in the affirmative. Only one
vase of fever has appeared at Palatku, and
though it was fatal, there lias been no sec
ond case. From this it is evident that there
is no fever there, and furtiier quarantine is
useless. The time when it will be raised has
tiot been fixed, but it will be very soon.
The isolation of Tampa will continue and
no person will be permitted to come from
there unless they pass through the fifteen
days quarantine. Di Duncan sent six ac
climated nurses to Tampa on Friday and he
■will send as ma 1/ more as are needed.
The danger of yellow fever coming here,
the hea.th authorities say, no longer exists.
In fact It has never been more than a possi
bility and no real danger has ever existed.
The only thing necessary for the board to
do was to tska such steps as would allay the
fears of the people. The season had ad
's anced too far to permit the spread of the
disease. 1* oi besides Gainesville and Jackson
ville had such a perfect quarantine that
there was no more reason for Savan
nah to establish one than there was for
< ’harleston or Wilmington to do so.
The health authorities have communicated
w ith the health officers of Jacksonville and
Gainesville by wiredaiiy and every day’s ro
j>orts have shown more and more conclu
sively that there was no danger to Savan
nah. All that was necessary has been done,
but now there is no necessity for any
further action for the frosts in this section
yesterday morning were better than the
best quarantine.
THREE TENEMENTS BURNED.
An Early Morning Blaze on Burroughs
Street- $3,000 Loss.
Three two-story tenement houses on Bur
roughs street, south of Bolton, were burned

4 o'clock, iu a house occupied by Isaac 1).

E. A. Schwarz, and the occupants hareiv
had time to escape before the entire build
ing was in dame -. The fire burned rapidly,
end communicated to the adjoining tene
ments on the north and south side, and
these were gutted. An alarm was sounded
from box 45, but tin 10.-g distance and
heavy streets delayed toe fir'men. and the
fire had had full headway before they ar
rived. The home adjoining Seegee's on
the north was occupied by two colored
families. Bruce and Parker, who saved most
of their household goods. The house ad
joining Soegee on the s >utb was also gutted,

THE WEEK’S BIG TRAVEL.
Savannah’s 2,0 JO Visitors to Atlanta
Nearly All Back.
The Piedmont Exposition closed yester
day. Tlie rush of travel Atlanta ward be
gan to let up after Tuesday, and since
Wednesday night it has lieeu not much
heavier than it was before the exposition
opened. The travel for the past four days
and nights has nearly all been the other
wav. Savannah sent up 2,000 visitorx to
Atlanta, and the majority of them went
last week. The Central has carried out
three Pullman sleepers, besides its own
sloe pel's, every night, and on Monday and
Tuesday nights sent up three extra Puli
limns.
Tho $3 50 five-day excursion limit
will expire on Tuesday night. The $8 45
tickets will also expire on the same date.
The majority of the excursionists have
already returned, and were glint enough to
get back. The rush of travel interfered
with the running of trains, and hardly a
south-bound train has arrived on time since
the exposition opened. By to-night or
w>-morrow night, at the latest, it will be
safe to say that the last exeui-siomst has
returned.
The next, rush will be to Macou. The
State Fair opens there to-morrow and w ill
continue until Saturday. The excursion
rate from Savannah via the Central will ho
$3 instead of $4 50, anil the limit will ex
pire Oct. 31. This rate will not include
admission to the fair. The railroads will
not sell admission tickets. The sale will
begin this morning for the 7:10 Central
truiti and will continue until Saturday
night. Pullman sleepers will leave
Savannah at 8:20 p. m. daily.
The • Central has also arranged
a special train to run from Milieu to Macon
and return during the fair, leaving Milieu
at 4:35 a. m., arriving in Macon at 0:40,
mid returning leaving Macon at 6:15 p. m.,
arriving at Millen at 10:20. Savannah sent
a big crowd to Atlanta and will send an
other very nearly as large to Macon.
The Confederate veterans will go up
Tuesday night to pay their respects to Mr.
Davis on Wednesday, which will be the big
day of the fair. The Chatham Gun Club
telegraphed the Atlanta club a challenge
last night to shoot for the interstate medal
and a purse of $2OO at Macon t hat day, but
no reply has been received. If it is ac
cepted," as there is hardly a doubt that it
will be, the Cliathams will go up Tuesday
night and will carry a full delegation of
members liesides tho shooting team.

AT THE THEATRE.
Close of Keene’s Engagement—This
Week's Attractions
Thomas W. Keene closed his Savannah
engagement last night with “Richard III.”
He appearexl at the matinee in “Merchant
of Venice.” The crafty “Gloster,” is gen
erally acknowledged to be Mr. Keene’s best
character, and “Richard III.” is the play in
which he is best known. His “Shylock, in
"Merchant of Venice,” is a strong piece of
acting, and in it theoid Hebraic stock strug
gles up through the greed of the money
lender, and gives pathetic dig
nity to the unfortunate Jew.
Mr. Keene's engagement was not as success
ful, financially, as some of his former en
gagements have been, but was never ac
corded a more enthusiastic reception here.
Four Nighta of Opera.
The Mac Collin Opera Comique Company,
with a chorus of thirty-five voices, will be
this week’s attraction. “The Beggar Stu
dent” will be sung on Wednesday and Satur
day nights; Thursday night and Saturday’s
matinee “Merry War,” and Friday night
“Francois, the Blue Stocking.” “Tne Beg
gar Student” has made the most
pronounced hit of any of the operas
in which the company has appeared.
The company is receiving flattering notices
everywhere it has played in the South. The
Montgomery Advertixer says it is one of the
finest and strongest organizations that has
visited Montgomery in years. It will be
the first opera of the season in Savannah.

people at Ludden & Bates’ music rooms yes
terday afternoon. The programme em
braced some of the most famous selections
of the old masters, and was rendered before
a fine class of people. Prof. Dahlberg is a
performer of recognized ability, and his
recital, which lasted from 5:30 until 6:45
o'clock, was throughout an intelligent and
delightful entertainment Messrs. Ludden
& Bates opened their music rooms for this
occasion, as they have done before, and ex
tended an invitation to their friends and
patrons to be present. During the entire
recital lioth the music and art rooms were

forthcoming report to the Legislature would
lie as exhaustive as possible. The observa

by the testimony of many of those interested
in phosphate mining in the State.
The Splendor of Dress
and the artificial effects of cosmetics, no
matter how deftly applied, can never make
beautiful or attractive one who is subject
to emaciation, nervous debility or any form

attempts at concealment, and the ladies
may take hope from the fact that thousands
of their sisters have made themselves more

Pierce's “Favorite Prescription” than they
could ever hope to do by the aid of the ap

teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by 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 diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25
cents a bottle.

A Big Crop of Weddings.
Reliable rumor predicts a greater than usual
number of weddings during the fall and winter
season, an indication of prosperity surely. We
are in proper trim for just such occasions, and
would ask personal inspection of the multitudi
nous articles, ornamental and decorative, with
which our storerooms are crowded. We point
with pleasure to our immense array of Solid
Silver and Plated Ware suitable for wedding
presents, rare Vases, elegant Clocks, handsome
Statuary, and bric-a-brac generally. Our line
of bronze ornaments is brilliant in itself, and
throughout may be found a thousand valuable
novelties suitable and appropriate as souvenirs
and keepsakes. In Diamonds, Jewelry and
Watches, it is impossible in limited space to
speak iutelligibly Suffice it to say that not
even the famous "Tiffany's” can outrival us in
beauty and careful selection of our stock. Prices
have been made to suit the times, and we offer
our representative stock on Its merits, and stake
our reputation on the result. Our engraving
department is carefully conducted, and all work
in this line is artistically executed. Wo are
always pleased to snow visitors through our
stock, even though they may not lie ready to
buy. a* we feel that our establishment is one of
the "sights” of the city, and it is always "exhi
bition day” to tbe public. Respectfully,

“Hello! there, Charles, what’s the matter?
You look a little changed in some way or other.
I have never seen you look so well in my life.”
“Oh. nothing much, only 1 have been to the out
fitting establishment of Appel £ Schaul the
popular young Clothiers, and got rigged up,
that’s all.”
Wake Up!
People do nbt like to be humbugged, and
still such seems to be the ease. Where is the
reason in paying such high prices for ladies
and gentlemen’s fino shoes, tourist and club
bags, when you can buy them from a selected
stock, which is most complete, and the styles
are the very nobbiest to be had. These
Shoes, Tourist, and Club Bags, are bought
direct from the factories for cash, saving
from 15 to 25 per cent, on every purchase
made from me. Come and see my stock and
the figures placed thereon will open your
eyes.
When you have read these facts, ask your
self, why buy from a credit system, with
its high tolls, when you have ti Live Cash
System close at hand that saves you money
