8 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.

Great falls in temperature have occurred over the entire country, ranging from 30° to 40°. Killing frosts and ice were reported as far South as Jacksonville aud New <)r 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. BORN ON THE BIG DEEP. A Wee Italian Passenger Who Went North Dead-Head. The steamship Nacoochee on her last trip North, arrived at New York with one pas senger more thou was on the list when the vessel left here. Among the passengers were Mr. and Mrs. P. Pizza, who were on 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. “Make the rascal work his pass 'ge.” “Scarcely, sir,” answered the steward. “Mrs. Pizza has has.' a l>aby.” Stewardess Quiuley made the mother and her babe, who is, the purse* said, “of tho buy-a-1 auana, two-for-flva-centa-persua sion,” entirely comfortable.

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 that the piece has over been played iu Sa vannah. It is a comedy-drama, dealing 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. A Christmas Cantata. The Christmas cantata, “King Winter,” will be given at Masonic Temple to-night by Mrs. E. B. Burke; organist of St. John’s church, assisted by the Ladies of St. John's Rectory B<xdety and the children of the Sunday school.

Fitzgerald’s successor lias not yet been appointed to act as Superintendent of the Plant Steamship Line aud tho People’s Line of steamers Walter G. Coleman, General Traveling Agent of the Florida Railway and Naviga tion Company, passed through tue city yes terday, ou his way North. The Central through freight, due here at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon did not ar rive until after 6 o’clock. The delay was caused by a breakage in the trucks beneath a car, loaded with pig iron, near the 123 mile post. The steamship Olivette left New York Wednesday for Tampa to resume the tri weekly service to Havana, commencing with Juti. 1. The days for leaving Tampa will be Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays of each week. The Savannah, Florida and Western Rail way Compauy is still running its trains via Live Oak over the tracks of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company. Work on the St. Mary’s river bridge is being pushed as rapidly as possible, but it will probably be several days yet before it will be completed. At Atlanta an application was filed in the executive office Wednesday for a certificate of incorporation under the railroad law of Georgia for the Cumberland Valley aud aud Nuaka Railroad Company, organized for the purpose of building aud operating a railroad through a portion of Rabun county. Two of tho incorporators are from Knox ville, Tenn., and one from Lomsville, Ky. As the signatures to the petition wore not properly certified to, the Governor declined for the present to grant it. The Georgia Pacific road has recently closed a contract for 400 new!sixes, coal and fiat cars for use on the road from Atlanta to Columbus, Miss. The care are to be de livered in February. Four new ten-wheel freight engines have also been ordered to be delivered during the same month. Work ou the Columbus and Western is progressing rapidly, and the bridge across the Coosa river is about finished. About one-third of Oak Mountain tunnel is to be driven yet, as is also 747 feet of 2,463 feet of the Coosa mountain tunnel. The road wifi be in opera tion by April 1, 1888. The Western and Atlantic railroad has, in proportion to its own mileage, the great est number of miles reached by its through car lines of any railroad in America, there fore, of course, of any railroad in the world. Its through first class coach lines are as fol lows: Atlanta to Waco, Tex., 1,114 miles; Atlanta to Little Rock, Ark., 950 miles: Chattanooga to Jacksonville, Fla., 528 miles. The total mileage of its through car lines, as shown above, is 4,223 miles one way. But as its through cars start from each of the termini above shown each day, the total number of miles per day run by the through cars which pass over the West ern and Atlantic is 8,444 miles, or sixtv-two times the length of the Western and At lantic. The sixteenth annual meeting of the Traveling Passenger Agonts’ Association of the United States and Canada will take place in Jacksonville Jan. 10. Mr. AVilliam Hill, General Passenger Agent of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad, with his head quarters in Chicago, is the moving spirit, aud is using extraordinary means to insure tbe success of the convention. The attend ance will be large and the session will be full ot interest. The Traveling Passenger Agentswill arrive here byspecialtrainfrom Atlanta on tho morning of Jan. 9, They will remain here during the day and will probably be given an excursion to Tybee and au oyster roast on the beach. At night they will I ave for Jacksonville. Traveling Passenger Agent Shaw, of the Central rail road, is here now, and will remain to take charge of the excursionists while they are here. The Cincinnati Southern, Western and Atlantic. Central of Georgia, Brunswick and Western, and Savannah. Florida and Western Railway have organized the fastest schedule which bus ever been made from Cincinnati to Florida. The limited express leaves Cincinnati 7:55 a. in. daily, with Mann Boudoir or Pullman Palace Buffet Sleeper for Way cross without change, reached at 9:50 a. m.. where connection with the fast mail of tho Savannah, Florida and Western is made, arriving at Jacksonville at noon. No extra fare is asked on the limited train. To Atlanta the run from Cincinnati is made in thirteen hours and fifty-five min utes, the quickest time ever established be tween the two cities, and affording superior facilities for passengers destined to all points in Georgia aud the Carolina.--. The night express with Mann or Pullman Buffet Sleeper leaves Cincinnati at 9 p. in., anrl ar rives at Jacksonville at 7:25 second morning, via same route, there being no change of sleeper between Cincinnati and Jackson ville. Probably the most economically man aged railroad in the world is in Ross county, Ohio. Its corporate mine is the Cincinnati, Hocking Val ley and Huntington railroad. Jr, is only ten miles in length, and was organized and built mainly by John Karshner, a wealthy farmer. YVben the road was built l.e sold the crops of his farms for one year and bought a locomotive, which ho called the John Karshner. Then be built a com bination pass- nger and baggage car. and his equipment was complete, He has been operating his road for two years, At first he employed a conductor and a freight agent, and followed tbe custom of larger r ads. But being an active man, though over 70 years of age, be soon dispensed with silk superflous services, and he now- combines within himself the entire list of railroad man, from owner and President to conduc tor and brakeman. His train goes twieo a day from Adelphi to Kingston ami return. It will stop on signal at any farm-house or cross-road for passt ngeiu or freight. Mr. Karshner goes on every train as conductor, brakeman, baggagemaster, mail ami ex press agent, and even ns newsagent. He sells no tickets, has no running arrangements with other muds, liu> no running accounts for freight, passengers or express. Every thing is cash. He does not require a book keeper, nor even a clerk. Boiler-Makers and Machinists at Work Those who visited the Morning News building last night thought they were in a machine shop. A force of boiler-makers was at work nutting a steel pub'll on one of tho boilers that had a hole burned in it from using artesian water, and o number of ma chinists were engaged in putting up anew line shaft, H inches i:i diameter and 50 feet feet iu length, to drive the newspaper press and stereotyping machinery. The latter work lih.il to fie done between the stoppage of the newspaper machinery ye tarriay morning and the time for starting it. again this morning. New hangers and pulleys had to befitted up also. The old shafting, bang ers and pulleys that were in use when the machinery was stopped in the morning had to be taken down before the works could lie put lu. It required careful planning and steady and skillful workmen to have the job done in time. The Platsbek Failure. The Platehek failure has been the talk of the street since it was announced. The amount of tbe liabilities has not yet been learned, but it is variously estimated from $15,000 to $30,000. Mr. tom Platsbek made a statement yesterday to the city editor of the Morning News, iu which he said that tho reporter who endeavored to get au in terview with Mr. Platsbek on Tuesday must have called at the wrong house; that Mr. Flatshek was at home all day and was ready to make a statement if he was called upon.

After tomorrow, no pajiers will lie sent to subscribers in tho city whose subscrip tions are not paid in advance. About #IO,OOO have been added to tbe hotel subscription in the past two dare. It looks as though the new hotel is a certainty. John Ryan, a native of Great Britain, took the oath of allegiance in the Superior Court ye-terday and became a citizen of the United States. There will be a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Jasper Festival at. tho committee’s headquarters, over Olinstead & Co.’s bank, to-night at 8:15 o’clock. The subscription committees for tho Jas per fe-tivul are meeting with great success. One committee has secured $l,lOO, and has not yet finished canvassing. It is not a Bay street committee either. The firemen were called out at 7 o’clock last night by a burning chimney in Chris Lang’s house at Hull and West Broad streets. The fire was extinguished with a few bucketafull of water. John Williams, the negro who was shot by young Oscar Marin on Monday, died at St. Joseph’s Infirmary yesterday. Coroner Dixon was notified and will bold an inquest this morning. Marin in still iu jail. There will be but four occupants of the mourners’ bench in the Police Court tins morning, that being the number of arrests up to. 13 o’clock last night. This indicates that the Christmas supply of “hurrah joice” is about exhausted, aud that matters will now resume their normal quietude in police circles. The Brunswick and Western Railway Passenger Department has issued the follow ing circular: Passengers desiring to stop at local points must purchase tickets to jxiitit at which they' wish to leave the train. Stop over checks will not bo issued by conduc tors upon Brunswick and Western local tickets. Constable McDermott, yesterday arrested nil escaped negro convict mined Stokes, in Yaiiiacravv, and lodged him in jail. Stokes was serving a twelve months’ sentence in the county chain gang, but escaped, taking with him S6O belonging to Chief Shuman. He went to Augustu, where he had a good time as long as his money lasted, and came back to this city to sjieiid Christmas among his chums. The curves on the line of the Rural Re sort railway at West Broad, Bay and In dian streets, have been put in. The switch for Indian street is expected to arrive to day, and will bn put down without delay. As soon as that is done a car will be run regularly from tho City Exchange to the canal. The iron for the entire line is looked for daily, and as soon as it arrives the work will be pushed forward as rapidly as men and money can do if. , William Dixon and Adam Matthews,who were indicted along with Tom Golden for robbing the Pulaski House wine vault,plead guilty in the Superior Court yesterday, and t -ey were sentenced to ten mouths on the chain gang. Both Dixon and Matthews have been m jail since last April, and tbe prosecution and Solicitor-General thought they had been punished pretty well already. Golden is in jail awaiting a hearing of the motion tor anew trial in his case. Photographs of views /m Tybee Island and along the line of the Savannah and Tytieo railroad are lieing taken with the view 6f having engravings made for a de scriptive pamphlet to bo published early in the year. 'Hie island and the adjacent waters havo lieeu the scene of many stirring events in the early history of the colony, and also (luring the late war, and a liobk such as that proposed will doubtless be a very effective method of advertising our favorite seaside resort. * There is the usual talk among the ice men about a late crop. The Kennebec harvest will, it is said, be considerably later than it has been for a number if years. Savannah gets the larger, part of its ice, except that, manufactured here, from Maine. Tue Ken nebec froze over Dec. 22. and ice is being 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 present year is only the fourth in fifty years in which the Kennebec remained open as late as Dec. 22. THE SOUTHERN DIAMOND. Six Clubs Ready for the New 1 eague and Two Others Aixiut Ready. Six clubs are pew ready for the Southern League. They are Charleston. Chattanoo ga. Birmingham, Memphis, ALfiiileand New Orleans. Atlanta has about decided to join, and New Orleans will put another club in tho Held to make up the requisite eight, if no other ciiy cares to join. The league still lias its eye on N.i.hville or Montgomery. Sportiii'j Life says that Charleston has signed W. b\ Bailey, the Wheeling catcher. Birmingham now has Goldsby, Lynch, Bittuian, SuUlvau and Cahill, all of the champion Atlanta* of 1885-1886. Manager Powed, of Cuarieston, expects to go to inninghnm shortly ou a visit to President W 1-on to see about organizing the S •titbcrti I. agnA Afterward be will make his hcadquartera in Charleston, to be ou hand in Hie work of starting the season. 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.

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.

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.
