8 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 yesterday awning. The fire broke out at 4 o'clock, iu a house occupied by Isaac 1). Seegee, a colored upholsterer employed by 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, and the occupants lost nearly everything. The total loss is about $B,OOO, partly covered by insurance. The fire started in a kitchen, and is supposed to have been accidental. A BARK ABANDONED. The Norwegian Baric Telemach Water- Logged, Wrecked and Deserted. Messrs. A. K.

His nrief furlough was spent at the beautiful and quiet town of Nyack on the Hudson. He needed a little rest, as probably no citi zen of Savannah does more real hard work. Besides his duties as the chief magistrate of n large city ho Ims one of the largest, law practices in the Stato. Hisortice is, it might De said, the headquarters for visitors from the adjacent counties, none of whom it would appear thinking that his trip had been satisfactory unless he has shaken hands with “Rufe.” For the Macon Fair.

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.

Southern Travel Checked by the Fever Scare—lncreased Accommodations. The yellow fever scare has put a sort of quietus upon Florida travel so far thu year, but it is only temporary. Capt. Fleming, Superintendent of the Savannah, Florida and Western, said yesterday that travel had begun quite briskly and the Florida resorts would liave been rilled earlier than usual, but when fever broke out in Tampa people in the North unpacked their trunks and de cided to remain at home for awhile.

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 observa tions of the committee will be supplemented 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 of female weakness. These must lie reached by inward application, and not by outward attempts at concealment, and the ladies may take hope from the fact that thousands of their sisters have made themselves more rudiatit and beautiful by tho use of Dr. Pierce's “Favorite Prescription” than they could ever hope to do by the aid of the ap pliances of the toilet.
