HUNT'S SLAYER IN JAIL.
He Was Caught in the Woods-A Poor
Excuse for the Crime.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 16.—H. R. Moore,
the railway mail clerk who killed Repre
sentative Hunt of Catoosa last night at the
Florida house, is in jail. He was brought
to Atlanta this morning by Patrolman Ab
bott of the police force, who found him in
the woods about three miles from At
lanta, near the line of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad. Moore, upon
bei g interviewed, savs he can't tell
why he killed Hunt. He savs that they
were the host of friends, and had always
been so. He only accounts for the killing
from the fact that ho stabbed Hunt, on the
impulse of the moment without stopping to
think of what he was about to do. Thisaf
ternoon Hunt’s remains were carried to his
late home in Ringgold under e -cort of a
committee from both branches of the legis

ATLANTA’S BOY MURDERERS.
The Jury Bring-s in a Verdict in the
Chrietophino Case.
Atlanta, Oa., Nov. 16. —Coroner Man
ning to-dav held an inquest upon the body
of Amorous Christoph.no, ihe Italian fruit
vender, who died from a fractured
skull mad* with a picket pulled from a
fence near his fruit stand. The evidence
brought out the following details of the
killing: A crowd of white boys, among
whom were Will Bruce, Will Spinks, Frank
Mints and Arthur Hayne, picked a quarrel
with Christophine, and began to move bis
fruit trorn the stand. The Italian became
angry nnd ordered them to leave. A quar
rel ensued, nml one of the b >ys said: "Let’s
beat him to death."’
HUNTING FOR A WEAPON.
With this the crowd left, nrd going to a
billiard saloon, tried to borrow- a cue,
skating that they wished to defend them
selves from a crowd of negroes. They
failed to secure a cue, and Hayne went
across the street, and broke a heavy picket
from a fence. With this he returned to the
fruit stand, a crowd following him. When
near Christophine one of the boys cried
out: “Look out. macaroni, somebody is
stealing your peanuts.’’
Tlir FATAL BLOW.
This was done to attract the Italian's
attention, ami Hayne slipped ud and struck
him a fearful blow on the head with the
picket. 5 lie Italian sank to the pavement

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1888.
LEGITIMATE TRADE GOOD
THE SPECULATIVE TENDENCY
DISTINCTLY DEPRESSED.
Stock Buyers Beginning to Take Into
i onstderation Our Disputes With
I ngland—Large Branches of Indus
try in a State of Uncertainty—Wool
Not in Big Demand at the Ad
vance.
New York, Nov. 16.— R. G. Dun & Co.’s
review of trade for the week says:
The revival of trade resulting from the
removal of political uncertainty, has made
some progress during the past week,
though not in the extent or direction quite
according to anticipations. The specula
tive tendency has been distinctly depressed
by a singular combination of influences.
The volume of legitimate trade continues
large, but in important branches the trans
actions in anticipation of an improvement
in prices were so large prim* to the election
that comparative dullness has followed.
SPECULATIVE MARKETS.
T* war of rates between the trunk lines
is the chief cause of disturbance in speculat
ive circle", but there is also some foreign
realizing, and men nre beginning to
consider whether the disputes be
tween this country and Great
Britain may not, disturb current invest
ments. The stock market has, therefore,
t>een heavy, though transactions have not
teen arge, and declines have been stub
bornly resisted. The average of prices lin. *
declined during the past week about $1 12
per share, wit i more signs of weakness at
London than here.
WHEAT SAT UPON.
Wheat speculation has been sat upon
heavily by a stoppage of exports from the
Atlantic ports and n:i enormous movement
from t o Pacific coast. In the month of
October 3,205.350 bushels of wheat were ex
torted trim the Pacific ports, and only
303,200 from all th- principal Atlantic
ports, and during the last five weeks the
Atlantic shipments have been only 176.000
bushels, against 3,362,401 last year. Yet
speculative holders are stubborn, and the
price has declined only 1 1 , cents for th e
week, with sales here "of 1 7,000,000 bushels.
CORN IN BETTER DEMAND.
Another depressing feature has been the
export of 4,700,000 bushels of corn in five
weeks against 2,800,000 last year, pointing
to less foreign demand for wl eat. With
assurances of larger supplies, corn is three
quarters cheaper, with speculation narrow,
and sales of oniy 4,200,000 bushels for the
week.
Oats are 1 cent dearer; cotton has risen
one-eighth, with sales of 620,000 bale-, and
coffee has risen one-quarter, with sales of
200,000 bags, while oil, after a little ad
vance, closes as last week. The failure of
monetary abundance to stimulate further
speculation in products is a significant
feature. *
A FEELING OF UNCERTAINTY.
The larger branches of industry are all
in .in uncertain position. Tho market for
cottons is rather quiet. A break in fine
bleached goods and changes in favor of
buyers in medium and colored goods, do
not affect the prices of other staples, and
print cloth - , with light goods of low grade,
are very firm. Woollens move sluggishly,
in part because of the mild weather, but
witiiout some advance in price, which the
cheapness of foreign good* resists, enlarge
ment of production is scarcely to be ex
pected.
WOOL’S ADVANCE.
Wool has nominally advanced about lOf
cents on the average within the past mouth,
but tho sales at the prices asked do not seem
to be encouraging.
The boot and shoe trade continues de
cidedly active and promising. It is esti
mated that 160,000,000 pairs are now pro
duced and marketed annually.
Excessive production has weakened the
anthracite coal market. The interior de
mand for bituminous has fallen off, and
Monogahela operators talk of reducing tho
output, but ttie coke output in western
Pennsylvania exceeds all past records.
IRON AND STEEL.
While the demand for iron and steel is
larger, the production appears at. present to
have increased even more rapidly, and the
mjirket soeins rather weaker. Buyer i of
pig hesitate because, with many furnaces
about to blow in, and the weekly produc
tion already reported at 141,000 tons, in
cluding charcoal iron, close to the maxi
mum, they hope for lower prices. Sales of
No. I southern here at sl7 50 are re]K>rted.
Bar iron is also weaker intone, being quoted
at 185, nnd it is state l that steel rails have
been sold at $26 in one cas t at Pittsburgh,
and the Chicago quotation of S2O 50 is
hardly equivalent t" that figure, though
some eastern sales at S2B are a!s*> quoted.
TRADE IN HIE INTERIOR.
Reports from interior points vary more
than usual as to the activity of trade,
thougn complaints of dullness at some
sout. ern points are attributed to the late
ness of the cotton crop. At the west the
movement is generally huge, though not at
all points quite up to expectations. Money
is not easy at Nashville, is firm at Kansas
City and in active demand at Memphis, but
at nearly all points is in ample supply, and
the treasury < bserves that the demand for
currency has fallen off. Sea: only any com
plaint is made of collections, and yet the
number of fuilures iras been considerable in
some quarters, and on the whole larger
than last year for the past six weeks.
BANK CLEARINGS.
The bank clearings outside of New York
continue large, as w ell as railroad earnings,
but tbe foreign trade does not improve, in
October the exports of cotton, breadstuff’s,
provisions, oil nnd cattle amounted to $54,-
767,502 against $57,003,035 last year, a de
cline of o' . percent., and for the past two
weeks at New York the decrease iias been
8 per cent, while the decline on imports has
been 3 per cent.
No important change in trensury opera
tions has occurred. The disbursements for
the week have exceeded tho receipts by
only $500,000.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during tbe last week num
ber; For the United States 205 nnd for
Canada 32, a total of 237; against 226 last
| week.
COWHIDED IN A DOG CART.
An Unknown Man Assaults His Female
Companion While Riding.
Avgusta, Ga., Nov. 16.—Citizens in the
lower part of the city tell of a sensational
affair which is furnishing food for unend
ing gossip and conjecture to-night. The
parties involved were most respectably
dressed, but unknown to all tin- eve-ivit
nesses. At a late hour this afternoon n
voung couple, well dressed, drove down
Reynold, a somewhat unfrequented street,
in a stylish dog cart. The young woman
was dressed in mourning, and persons who
saw them dash by say she had
a handkerchief to her eyes and
wns weeping piteously. The road to
(Saud Bar ferry, outside the eastern limits
of the city, is being repaired by n gang of
workmen, and they were startled by the
loud cries of a woman beseeching help.
The foreman of the gang started toward
the sound, and in a nv.m :it a strange
picture met his eyes. Tho woman crying
out was seated in a dog cart and her com
panion was belaboring her should* rs with
a cow hide. The woman’s assailant ceased
when the foreman approached and esliod to
him to stop, adding that he would shoot
him if lie came closer. 'The wraps had been
torn from the young woman’s shoulders,
and she was deult several more painbil
blows. Tbe young man wore v. slouch hat
and his companion was cl >sely veiled. Sur
mise is rampant to-uiglit. and it would go
hard with the brutal assailanj, if his identity
were known.

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
Happenings on the South Carolina
Sida of the Savannah.
The Democratic party of Charleston is
about to revise its constitution. A com
mittee has been appointed for that purpose.
Mrs. Sal he F. Chapin, South Carolina's
temperance advocate, has recovered from
her recent severe illness at tue north, and
was expected to arrive in Charleston yester
day.
The old stockade, which has done duty as
a jail for Charleston for two years, was
sold at auction a day or two ago. Its re
moval closes one more chapter of the earth
quake tragedy of 1880. It will be remem
bered on the nigiit of the calamity the jail
was almost crumbled into ruins. Most of
the prisoners escaped, fleeing terror
stricken for their lives. The stockade will,
in a few days, pass out of existence, but not
out of history, for it will be remembered as
the place of incarceration of the groat
corpse trust kings anil queens. The new
jail, it is supposed, will be ready for occu
pation within ten days.
The outlook for the commencement of tho
now postofllce and court house the Mews
unit Courier says, is promising. Secretary
Fairchild has decided to purchase the Itug
hciiner lot in Meeting street at SIO,OOO, the
price set upon it by tbe jury, and it is more
than probable that, tho next step of the
government will be to by the adjoining St.
Michael's church property, which together
with the old eluh house land, and the
already acquired lots on Broad street,, will
give a magnificent site for the new public
building. As to the St. Michael’s church
property, it is probable that the govern

Local and General Gossip In Railway

There is talk of the Talladega and Coosa

President Williamson, of the Chatta

The News and Courier says of Mr. In

interesting, and iu many respects are

SAVANNAH PEOPLE WARNED.
Tbe Cause of Diphtheria and Kindred
Diseases.
Savannah, Nov. 14. —Editor Morning
Sews: I would like through your columns
to make public the results of a sanitary
inspection which I made a jew days since,
believing that it will be both interesting
and instructive to your readers. The house
inspected is a comparatively new brick
re-ide ,ce on Gordon street, and a case of
diphtheria having recently develop and there,
my services were called in to examine tho
drains ar.d sanitary appliances in use. Tn
making the exatnir.ation 1 took the plumber
who had originally done the work along
with me, so that should any of t :e work be
hidden from view he could tell me what
was there. I found in t,e house two bath
rooms, one above the other, each with a
w ater closet adjoining tbe ba’h, and each
with a door opening directly into the bed
room, inoneof which the case of diphtheria
had developed. Here was the first delect,
in having a direct communication between
the sleeping ajiartment and tho I atiiroom,
for accidents will occur with the best ar
ranged sanitary works, and it is unwise, lo
say the least, to sleep exposed even to such
an accident. But where the arrangements
are defective, it is courting disease to sleep
in such an apartment.
Oil examining the water closet fixtures I
found them as shown in the sketch below:
(™L
BATH
V
.sill
1 ' (
Ais the waste water pipe from bath. B
and C are iva er traps. D iss il pipe going
through wall and into pipe which extend
from gutter of roof and takes the rain
water and also acts a- ventilator. Tho
water closet is efficiently trapped and sealed,
but the construction of the water pipe from
he bath exposes a most serious defect.
Unless the plug is held up for a considera
ble time to allow a large quantity of water
to run through the water cioset the solid
matter will, between time, of use, lodge in
one or other of the traps. The waste pipe
acts to carry off any smells or gases that
may arise from solid matter remaining in
the traps. The pipes and traps are of east
iron with originally a rough interior. After
use for some time these pipes become coated
with a foul anl putrid deposit which gives
off an offensive and noxious smell. Tuere
being nothing to break the flow of air
through the bath waste pipe, such
noxious odors and gases escape through
these and thence in the sleeping
apartment. Another serious defect is the
rain water pipe being relied upon to ventil
ate the soil pipe. The lodgment of a leaf
over the top of such rain pipe destroys its
usefulness and may cause harm. Another
point to consider is that whilst a water trap
may purify any gases passing through it,
the water shortly becomes so impregnated
that it is capable of developing gases in
itself and thus becomes a source of danger.
Should this occur in the case under con
sideration in trap C such gas would go
directly through tho bath.
On pointing cut these defects to the
plumber I was met with the answer that it
could not be wrong, “becauso all or most of
the houses in Savannah were constructed
that way.” The fact of it tieing the general
custom to do things that way does not make
it right and only tends to show the likely
cause for much of tbe diphtheria and kin
dred diseases so prevalent. Whilst the
windows of the bedroom are open at night
little harm may be done from having the
water closets opening from your room, but
in the fall when the nights are damp it is
customary to keep the windows closed and
thus shut yourself in close with any dis
ease breeding vapors or gases that may be
present.
If the above is the general principle of
construction in Savannah, and from my
experience 1 believe it to be so, then it is
useless laying an expensive system of drain
age outside whilst we have defective ar
rangements in the interior where we live
and sleep. If tho inhabitants of this city
have any desire for he dth and healthy sur
roundings let them attend at once to this
question, and before the city is ready to
do the outsidtf drainage let each individual
attend to the arrangements in his house
and have them examined, and if condemned,
let him remedy the defect. Don’t let them
wait until they get diphtheria or kindred
diseases, but start at once to shut out all
chances of the entrance of such complaints.
In justice to the plumbers 1 would say that
the work I examined, though constructed
on a wrong principle, was well executed.

MEDICAL
What is Catarrh
Catarrh is an inflammation of the mucous
membranes, and may affect the head, t hroat,
stomach, bowels or bladder. Bui catarrh of
the head is the most common, often coming
on so gradually that it bus n firm hold
before the nature of the trouble is suspected.
Catarrh is caused by a cold, or succession of
colds, combined with
Impure Blood
Its local symptoms are a sense of fullness
aud heat in the forehead, dryness in the
nose and back part of the throat, and n dis
agreeable discharge from the nose. When
the disease becomes chronic, it is liable to
develop into consumption. The eyes be
come inflamed nnd rod, there is throbbing
in the temples, ringing noises in the ears,
headache, ami sometimes loss of sense of
smell and hearing.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Is tho true remedy for catarrh. It attacks
the source of the disease by puiifying and
enriching the blood, which as it reaches the
delicate passages 1 1 the mucous membrane,
soothe* uml rebuilds the tissues, aud ulti
mately cures the affection. At the same
time llood’* Sarsaparilla builds up the
whole system and makes o se foci as if made
anew.
