DIED AWAY FROM HOME.
A YOUNG NORTH CAROLINIAN’S
FATAL FALL FROM A TRAIN.
Joseph Boulin Killed at Blooming'dale
on the Central Railroad—He Falls
from a Car Platform and is Fatally
Injured— I Trying to Reach His Family.
On the west bound Central passenger
train yesterday morning was a young white
man who occupied next to the last seat iu
the rear coach. He had boarded the train
at Pooler, handed Conductor Storey a ticket
for lialeyoudale, and instead of quietly oc
cupying his seat attracted the attention of
all the passengers by constantly getting up
and walking to the rear door of the car, and
out upon the platform.
Immediately behind the young man sat
Mr. Howell, of Davisboro, who, suffering
from the constant cold draughts coming
through the open door remonstrated with
the nervous passenger. This had the effect
of making the young man resume his seat,
which he kept until the train approached
Blooniingdale. When the engineer blew the
signal for that station the young man
jumped up and ran out upon the platform
again.
Conductor Wolf, of the east-bound
through freight, was on the platform of his
cab. His train was standing on the side
track. Ho saw the man as lie stepped out
of the door, and it seemed as if he wus look
ing for someone. It was the impression ot
Conductor Wolf that the young man fell off
the platform. Others say that he jumped
off. At any rate he struck a wood rack and
fell to the ground, where he remained, with
a cut in his head.
It was not until the passenger train had
stopped at the station that the trainmen
knew of the accident that had happened a
few rods back. They returned and found
Mr. Joseph B. Boulin, who keeps a small
store at Pooler.
Conductor Storey thought that Boulin
was from Savannah, as his ticket road from
Savannah to H&lcrondale. The Shoo Fly
train was due in a tew minutes, and when
it arrived the wounded man was put aboard
and started to Savannah. The train had
gone but a few miles when he died. The
body was brought on here, and when it
arrived Supt. Hege ordered it scut to Dix
on's undertaking establishment and immedi
ately set about tracing the man’s relatives.
None could be found at Pooler, he having
lived there but a short time, but letters in
the dead man’s pockets indicated that his
parents live at Osgood, Chatham county.
North Carolina.
Supt. Hege immediately telegraphed there,
bat as Osgcod is s me distance from a tele
graph office he had received no response to
his inquiries up to late last night. In the
meantime the body is at Dixon’s under
taking rooms whore it has tieen dressed
and prejiared for burial. If nothing is
heard from his pare its by 4 o’clock this
afternoon the Central railroad authorities
will have the remains properly interred
here.
THE COLDEST SNAP YET.
Forty Degrees Below Zero in the
Northwest-The Uold Here.
The midnight reports of th; Signal Ser
vice showed the cold wave to be moderating
in the Northwest. The weather over the
eastern portion of the country is growing
colder. The present coid wave is the se
verest of the season. St. Vincent, Minn.,
yesterday morning reported a temperature
of 40* below zero and last night it reported
24" below.
Great falls in temperature have occurred
over the entire country, ranging from 30°
to 40°. Killing frosts and ice were reported

leaus. The drop here in sixteen hours was
lib". The lowest temperature here yesterday
was 28". The temperature tigs morning will
probably go below 25°, and during the day
the weather will moderate slightly.
From present indications the weather will
be quite cool for the next few days, and the
prospects for bright and sunny weather on
Sunday and Mouday are very good. North
west gales are reported from stations north
of 'Wilmington, Hatteras reporting a wind
velocity of forty-live miles per hour.

The steamship Nacoochee on her last trip
North, arrived at New York with one pas
senger more thou was on the list when the

their way to Philadelphia. When the Nn
cocichee was nearing Capo Hattqras Shoals
Steward Costigan walked into Purser Mus
t-in’s office and said:
“There’s another Italian passenger on
board, sir.”
“Stowaway, eh?” exclallued the purser.

“Scarcely, sir,” answered the steward.

NEW ARTESIAN WELLS.
The Morning Nows Well Finished—
The Coaat Line Well Begun.
The Morning News artesian well was
finished yesterday. The water flows freely
from a 4-inch pipe within 3 feet of the base
ment floor. The well is 495 feet deep, cal
culated from the surface of Whitaker street.
The drill passed through about 100 feet of
rock strata, tho thickest stratum lieing 8
feet, which apparently was solid granite.
The Coast Line railroad has begun a
4-inch well at its depots and sheds on Bolton
street The well had reached a depth of 140
feet last night. It was impossible to drive
tho casing lower, on account of the hard
ness of the earth. The drill is nearly down
to the rock, underneath which it is ex
pected to find water. Superintendent
Cobb expects to obtain a good flow
at a depth of from 200 to 300 feet. The
ground at the Bolton street depot is much
lower than it is at the City and Suburban
depot, and it, i> expected that water wifi bo
struck at. a correspondingly less depth.
AT THE THEATRE.
“Shadows of a Great City’’ Makes a
Hit on Opening Night.
“Shadows of a Great City” was played
before a fine audience last, night. The per
formance was tho best of the kind that has
ever been given here. It was the first time

with American types of character, showing
familiar American scenes, and presenting
all picturesque and romantic phases of
American life in and around the metropo
lis. The scenes of the play are laid in and
about New York, aud the motive is the mis
fortunes of the child of the discarded daugh
ter of a millionaire, love and honor figuring
in the play as well as suffering and crime.
The pla.v is : ensational, and yet it is not of
the blood and thunder class.
Among the characters may be men
tioned Miss Annie Ward Tiffany, who, as
Biddy’ Konnn, has a rich brogue and a fund
of witticisms; Miss Clyde Harron, who his
a fine stage presence, and who is a capable
actress, assumes the dual mie of Annie
Standish, a jxior woman, and Helen, her
daughter; George R. Edeson as Jim Farren,
has made Ins part very strong. The pieco
was enthusiastically received un i it will be
played during the rest of the week.

gathered there now, though in small quan
titles. Ice-cutting commenced last year in
Maine on Jan. 4. The mild weather in
Maine this winter is extraordinary. The

Stein way.
AVe commence iu this morning’s adver
tising columns a series of letters, certifi
cates, etc.. about the celebrated Stein way
Pianos. Thai they are the beat instruments
in the world we know here already, and if
anybody does not. 1 t them inquire at New
York, the eoinmen'ial and artistic inetrojio
lisof America; but uvea iu tue Old World
the musical people nave paid homage to
these wonderful instruments, and crowned
heads have purchased these instruments, ac
knowledging thereby tiio superiority of the
Steiuway over their own manufactures.
At the same time ours, as well as foreign
manufacturers, are imitating the Steinuay
system of manufacture in their own instru
mental, and tlio host claim their products
just, or about, ns gixid. as the Steinway
Pianos. Any other piano id not considered
j worthy of imitation or competition.
For the last thirty-five years tbe Steinway
I Pianos have been known as the foremost
instrument, and as every new patented im
i provemeut was added, they became the
lieau ideal of all artists and amateurs. To
day they stand unrivalled ou the face of the
globe.
When our President took his lovely bride
to the White House, he presented her with
an elegant Steiuway. The. first lady of the
laud deserves the first piano. No parlor of
nny distinguished or fashionable family is
considered complete without a Steiuway
Piano. All the new express steamers of the
North German Lloyd, patronized by tbe
wealthy aud fashionable tourists, nre fur
nished with Steiuway Upright Pianos; in
fact, they are found in any part of the
civilized globe.

Our Game Law.
Editor Morning News: The attoution of
every true sportsman is called to our game
law. As it is now thore is really uo protec
tion for game in this county. The writer,
who has had every opportunity of observ
ing, has been painfully romiudod of this
fact. It is a great wonder we have any
game at all. The law should be very strictly
and rigidly enforced on all parties caught
trapping or shooting game out of season.
It is almost inmossible to go out for a day's
sport without finding traps set for birds. In
this way whole coveys are destroyed. Where
is our game law, anil whose place is it to
see 1 hat it is properly enforced? Sportsmen
should look into this matter with serious
c onsideration. Sportsman.
It Seems to Take.
Yesterday we advertised a cut in our
remnant of Plush Goods, and during the
day had more buyers for this class of goods
than any other day, excepting the few days
preceding Xmas. This is easily accounted
for by the fact that au announcement of a
cut from our well-known low prices means
almost as much of a surprise to the public
as would the announcement that HuVannah
was going to have a hotel or a post office.
Now, while we believe in at first making
a low price on goods and then sticking to it,
the rainy weather a few days before Xmas,
left us with a remnant of goods unsold,
which, rattier than put away for another
year, we offer at prices regardless of cost,
to close out entire stock of Holiday Goods;
this we mean, and first come get best se
lection. L. & B. S. M. H.

Florence Heating Stoves.
We have been so busy with our holiday
trade that we have quite neglected our
Florence Heaters. We wish to explain that
they differ from most oil-lieating stoves, as
they have a removable heating drum, and
the stove can be used for cooking purposes,
an l will lie useful both in summer and win
ter. Again, the prices are lower. We have
certificates from well-known citizens in
dorsing our little $2 Stove as sufficient to
heat a bath room comfortably. Our $3 75
Stove will do double the work, and our $5
Stove heads the list for a first-class heating
and cooking Stove. We have the agency
for these Stoves for Savannah and will be
pleased to show them.
