UPSET ALL AROUND.
Effect ot the Constitutional Amend
ment's Probable Defeat.
The probable defeat of the constitutional
amendment adopted by the last legislature,
increasing tbe number of supreme court
judges from three to five, breaks op the
local slate hingiDg upon Judge Adams’
election to the new bench.
The vote on tbe amendment was the
general subject of talk in political circles
yesterday, and ran wav ahead of the
‘‘scratching" of tbe legislative ticket here.
Hon. F. G. dußignon received the fol
lowing telegram last night, at 7 o’clock,
from State Treasurer Hardeman, saying:
“Returns so far show amendment defeated."
There was very little doubt in the after
noon that such was the case. Judge Adams
is still north and will probably not return
for some time yet, except the amendment
should be approved and he is needed here to
prosecute his canvass.

faint feeling, creates a good appetite, cures
headache and refreshes the burdened mind.

HE WENT WITHOUT ASKING.
A Prisoner Takes French Leave of
Deputy Coleman In the Suburbs.
Hsnry Saunders, who has been confined
in jail since the middle of September on a
bail in trover writ from Justice Patterson’s
court, escaped yesterday while Deputy
j Coleman was taking him to see bis family
out in the southern part of tbe city. A. J.
Miller & Cos., who were prosecuting Saun
ders, directed Justice Patterson to rt lease
Saunders and allow him to return to his
family and provide for them. The Justice
accordingly issued the discharge, and in the
absence of his regular constable, E. Cole
man, a cigar maker at the corner of Dray
ton and St. Julian streets, was deputized to
bring the prisoner to Justice Patterson’s
office, and hold him there until other in
structions were given. ,
Justice Patterson’s jurisdiction over the
prisoner went no further, after he had been
instructed by Miller & Cos. to disoharge
him, but the justice had been informed that
a warrant in Justice Molina’s court had
been i sued against the prisoner, charging
him with cheating and swindling, and ob
taing money under false pretenses. For
that reason he held Saunders until his
constable could arrive to take him to Jus
tice Molina’s office ►> answer the charge.
In the meantime Justice Patterson left his
office for a few minutes, and when he re
turned the deputy and prisoner were gone.
He thought little of their absence, other
than that they had gone out to get a lunch,
and went on with his work. He had sent
Deputy Coleman out on former occasions and
the deputy had in every case been success
ful, so that ho did not allow the matter to
trouble him.
Toward the middle of the afternoon Con
stable Coleman came in, and upon being in
formed that the deputy nndthe prisoner had
disappeared at noon, and had not since been
seen, he immediately began a search for the
men, and it was not until 8 o’clock at night
that ho found the deputy at his home in the
southern part of the city. Tho deputy
stated that he had been hunt
ing for tho prisoner, and assigned that
as a reason for not returning to tho office.
He stated that Saunders made a request for
the deputy to go out witn him to see his
wife and childrem. Thinking that it was
but a short distance, and that they would
return in a few minutes, he went with
Saunders. On their return the prisoner re
quested to be allowed to go into a yard on
Bismarck street nftor some water, Tho
deputy allowed him to go. Saunders went
into the yard, and, going around behind
some outhouses, disappeared. Deputy Cole
man endeavored to recapture Saunders, but
he was unsuccessful.
IN A MARITAL MUDDLE.
Aleck Cobb Invests in One Wife Too
Many.
“An’ you married my ’usban’, did you*"
snapped an angry colored woman in Justice
Entires’ office yesterday.
“Its not been er day, Mister Jedge,” she
said, “since I cooked his rations fur'm, an’
he done praisin me up fur it, an’ now, 10, an
b’hold what’s I ter see but er nudder pusson
claimin’ p’session erhim.”
The aggrieved was the unfortunate wife
of Alexander Cobb (colored) who married
Fannie Williams on Thursday in preference
to going to jail on her account. Cobb and
his wife were married in North Carolina
ten years ago, and, coming to Savannah,
settled down, and have lived peaceably with
their neighbors until within the last
twelve months, when Cobb began to
pay attention to the Williams woman,
who lived next door. His wife was slow to
suspect her husband of infidelity, sinoe they
had lived together so long without any
trouble, but by degrees she grew m knowl
edge of the circumstances as they existed,
and being unable to contain herself longer
in a peaceable frame of mind she took the
street in front of her rival’s door, and as
her anger escaped, Rome howled.
It got to beau every day business, and
the Williams woman decided to put a stop
to it by marrying Cobb aud leaving that
part of the city in charge of his former
wife. She mate the proposition, but Cobb
did not accede to it at once, and sne threat
ened him with a breach of promise
suit. Cobb did not know \yhat
it all meant, but he preferred
to marry his neighbor in preference "ter
bein’ sent ter de chain-gang,” as he ex-
Erossed it. The Williams Woman evidently
ad him under good control and had drilled
him in what to say, for when the magistrate
asked him if he had a living wifohe blandly
replied “no.” Hts former wife was not so
prostrated with grief that she did not give
the Williams woman a “flooring” when
they met face to face.
Cobh in explaining matters to his first
wife said. "I jes couldn’t git ’long wid dis
nigger ’dout mnr’vn her.” When last seen
Cobh’s former wife was hunting for an
attorney to prosecute the Williams woman.
Nhe said she would not prosecute her
husbaud for what he had done.
THE WEATHER FOR OCTOBER.
All Sorts of Things Predicted—The
Month at Sea.
October promises to be an Interesting
month, meteorologically speaking. The
pilot chart for the month just begun con
tains much valuable and interesting in
formation for navigators. Tho weather
forecast for October is as follows:
“Generally moderate weather prevails.
Gales occur along the transatlantic steam
ship routes about once in eight days. North
of tho thirtieth parallel, and between Ber
muda and the coast of tho United States,
gales occur about once in ten days. West
Indian hurricanes are likely to be encoun
tered, although less frequently as tho sun’s
south declination increases. Fog will be
encountered in diminishing quantities over
the Grand Banks, and along the coast of
New England and the Canadiau maritime
provinces.
The barometer normals for October, show
ing what pressure may be expected in dif
ferent parallels, will be of interest to marin
ers. It also publishes a list of dangerous
obstructions to navigation along the coast,
and sketches the course of the great Cuban
hurricane of Sept. 1-7, from the first indica
tions of disturbance in the northeast trade
wind belt, east of the sixtieth meridian, on
Aug. 30 s*l.
The tracks of all the most notable October
hurricanes on record are plotted on the
charts in blue, to indicate graphically the
limits of the region where they are nio.t
likely to be encountered. They also give
directions for action in case of a hurricane,
giving the earliest indications and tho un
mistakable signs which indicate the ap
proach of a gale, and brief rules for the
handling of a ship while the hurricane
The diameter of the area covered by such a
storm, it says, may boas great ns 1,000
miles, but the true storm area is much
smaller, the diameter of the cloud ring !>e
ing usually about 500 miles, and of the
region where the wind is blowing a gale,
only about 000 miles.

PROBPKROU3 WARE COUNTY.
Sugar Cane About Ready to be Cut—
The Syrup making Industry.
C. H. Beckwith, a prominent citizen of
Ware county, was in the city yesterday.
He report* everything in Ware county
prospering. Cotton has been aliout all
picked, and a good deal of it has been mar
keted. The rice crop is not so seriously
damaged there os In other sections of the
state, and the crop will be large. The
sugar cane crop is larger this year than it
has been in several years. The recent rains
have been beneficial to the cane. The crop
will soon be ready to be gathered, and the
mills will shortly be in operation.
Several thousand gallons of syrup are
furnished yearly by Ware county, and this
year the yield will be unprecedented. The
acreage is larger and the demand for Geor
gia syrup is always great, so that thore is
littlo danger of getting too much syrup on
tho market. When the season opens, which
this year will be within the next few days,
svruD sells as high as 75 cents per gallon.
These are fancy prices though, and the price
soon drops to 40 cents nnd 50 cents. “There
is money in it at that price,” Mr. Beckwith
said, “and our company’s income from tho
sugar cane crop alone is large.”
The turpentine industry is not an insig
nificant feature qf the county’s make-up.
Ware county probably ranks next to Dodge
in the naval store business. Saw mills and
turpentine stills pretty well dot over tho
entire county'.
CAROLINA’S RICE CROPS.
They Will Turn Out Better Than the
Planters Expected.
Considerable interest is felt In Charleston
in tho fate of the rice crops. The news
from tho Santee rice Helds, says the News
and Courier, is not of the most cheering
character. While no definite information
lias been received from that quarter, it is
rumored that the Santee crops are in a bad
way. It is feared that the recent floods
have dons considerable damage. The
Combahoe crops are also under the
weather. Mr. J. B. liis,ell, who has several
plantations under cultivatiou on that
river, was seen Thursday. He said that
the weather for the past ten or twelve days
lias been exceedingly favorable for the
rice planters. He was unable to give an
estimate of the damage to tho rice crop by
the rain and Hoods, but be thought that it
would be serious. He bad himself lost
about 140 acrea of rice. As far as could be
learned the planters on the Cooper river
have not sustained any serious losses. It is
thought that the South Carolina crop will,
upon the whole, turn out well.

comparatively level, and as there are no
mountains to tunnel or steep hills to cut
through, the work is being pushed rapidly
to completion. The only obstacles in the
way ore the three rivers which
are to be bridged. The recent

To the Property Owners and Voters
of Savannah.
Fellow Citizens: In placing myself be
fore you as a candidate for membership of
the next City Council, I respectfully ask
your consideration to the following meas
ures which I shill advocate if electod:
The filling up of tho Ogeechee canal on
the western border of the city so as to oblit
erate for all time the malarial diseases due
to its existence.
The abolition of our stinking privy system
whorover practicable, so as to remove not
only an enormous number of local foci of
disease, but. uu equally enormous number of
public nui-anees.
The construction of a house drainage sys
tem, designed especially to usoour lanes for
this purpose, so as to make one pipo <lo for
the blocks on both sides, and secure an ab
solutely reliable and inexhaustible means
of purification by flashing, lessen tho ex
penses by nearly ono-balf, and not only
avoid carrying the drain pipes under our
houses (a very dangerous practice), but do
away with the constant and repeated roar
ings’ up of our pavements such as must
necessarily ensue upon tho adoption of the
“Waring System." which the present “com
mittee of council” proposo to force upon the
people of Savannah.
In subsequent articles I shall expose to
tho public scrutiny some so-called sanitary
and other doings by which tho people of
Savannah have suffered. Respectfully,
Louis A Falligant.

Indignation in the Backwooda Sanc
tum.
From the Squeehatvker Hair Curler.
Our many readers will imagine how mad
we were when we noticed iu the Colt's
Valley Enterprise the following statement:
“Mr. Silo Budget was reading a copy of
the Colt's Valley Enterprise on the train
last Thursday when he got a cinder in his
eye. He was caused much pain, but he
finally got it out, and his eye is all right but
is slightly inflamed.”
Mr. Budget was doing no such thing.
This is a gross misrepresentation, arid the
editor of the Colt's Valley Enterprise
know* it. We made inquiry of the gentle
mau who was injured, and lie informed us
that he was gleaning the intelligence of the
week from the Squeehawker Hair Curler, a
copy of which we had presented him at the
depot that morning when he was so un
fortunate ax to get a cinder in his eye. Sile
Budget is an entirely reliable gentleman
and an enthusiastic friend of ours. We are
very tired of the underhand dealing of this
Colt’s Valley editor and are convinced that
he means to irriure us. He recently told a
friend of ours that we carried our weekly
mail to the postofllce under onr arm. This
is not true aud we can prove it by the post
master. We did do this some time ago, but
for several weeks we have had to use a mar
ket basket belonging to “Undo John,” the
postmaster, who, by the way, has just gotten
in an excellent line of groceries and nobby
dry goods. Our circulation is increasing
raphdy, aud since our last issue we put one
new name on th o list and had the promise
of two of our old subscribers to renew when
their time is up. We have just laid in
three now bundles of paper apil confidently
look forward to the time when we will
work off five quires every week, including,
of course, our exchanges, which we are
proud to say, number twenty-three. We
fmy our ink by the gallon can, aud this is
more than the editor of the Colt's Valley
Enterprise can say, for we have been in his
office and know that he has his supply in a
battered oyster cup. Our subscribers will
please watch for an X in blue on the mar
gin of their paper. We have explained its
meaning iu previous issues. Now is the
time to subscribe.

Proctor’s Last E6says.
A scries of popular scientific articles, by
the laj.o Prof. Richard A. Proctor, tho emi
nent astronomer and author, will appear in
the Morning News on the dates announced
below.
The article in this series upon “Plagues
and Pestilence” was received only the week
before the author’s death, and was written
apropos of tho yellow fever in Florida.
Indeed, the whole serios is Prof. Proctor’s
last popular scientific work for newspaper
publication. *
They are expected to attract great atten
tion throughout the whole country, and will
prove a valuable addition to scientific lore
which no one can well afford to lose. They
were obtainable by the Morning News
only on account of its prominence in the
world of journalism, and have an especial
interest for the newspaper readers of the
southeast.
These articles, six in number, are upon
the following topics:
1. For September 23.
Plague and Pestilence.
2. For September 30.
Learning the Stars.
3. For October 7.
Our Two Brains.
4. For October 14.
Famous Comets.
5. For October 21.
Ark Men Advancing!
6. For October 28.
