A BULLET IS BIS HEART.
CHARLES SOTLIVK KILLS HIM
SELF WITH AN AIR-GUN.
A Mother Flnd3 the Half Naked Body
of Her Son In His Room With a Bul
let Wound In His Breast—Shot Him
self While Preparing for a Bath—lt
May Have Been Buiclde and it May
Have Been Accident.
Charles Sutlive, IT years old, shot and
Instantly killed himself last night shortly
before 9 o'clock at his home at the south
west corner of Liberty and Montgomery
streets. The weapon used was a Si-caliber
Springfield air-gun. The ballet passed
through bis heart and lodged just under the
skin at the side qf his backbone.
Tbs dead boy's family claim the killing
was an accident. He went home shortly af
ter 6 o’clock from bis work at the Savannah
Plumbing Company’s shops and didn’t give
his mother the usual weekly sum for board.
Mrs. Sutlive chided him for squandering
his money instead of bringing it home to
bar, and the youth became angry. Hs
quieted down, however, in a few minutes,
end assumed bis natural disposition. After
supper Sutlive told bis mother ho was
going to take a sponge bath preparatory to
retiring, and asked her to get some warm
water for him.
PREPARING HIS BATB.
Mrs. Sutlive went downstairs to beat
the water and while there she thought she
beard a noise upstairs. She listened for a
minute or two and not hearing a repetition
dismissed the matter from her mind. It
kook her about ten minutes to heat the
water, and when she went up to her son’s
room she saw him lying, naked to the waist,
open the floor, with his face resting down
ward upon a chair.
Thinking be bad fainted, the mother put
down the water and went quiokly to him.
As the did she saw a stream of blood run
ning from his breast. Horror-stricken, she
can downstairs and across the street to
Henry Suiter’s store for assistance. One
of the clerks hurried over, and, picking
the body up, placed it upon the bed.
He saw that the boy was dead and so told
his mother. She hardly believed it at first,
and when it finally dawned upon her in all
its terrible reality she became hysterical.
THE CORONER'S INQUIRT.
Officer Patterson of the Central railroad
police took charge of the bouse aud notified
Coroner Dixon and the police barracks.
The coroner, after viewing the body and
examining the wound, postponed the inves
tigation until this morning.
Sutlive’s brother and sister said that the
dead boy seemed to bare a peculiar desire
to always be fooling with firearms. The
air-gun with which be killed himself was
purchased by him a year ago for the pur
pose of shooting cats aud praotioing at the
target. Many times the rest of the family
chided him for his carelessness in handling
the weapon, but be only laughed at their
fears, saying be understood firearms better
than they.
The theory advanced by the fam
ily is that after Charles bad stripped the up
per portion of his body and was waiting for
his mother to come up with the warm
•water, he began playing with the gun and
It accidentally fired.
don’t believe it’s suicide.
They scout any idea of suioide, saying that
he was not of a disposition to think of put
ting an end to his life. The only way by
which the boy oould have shot himself as ho
did, if it was accidental, was by throwing it
in an upward fashion by the muzzle, when
It might possibly have exDloded.
The grief of the dead boy’s mether was
pitiable. To every one who came in she
would remark in a hysterical fashion “He's
my baby boy,” and almost immediately
burst into tears. She hardly seemed to
understand exaotly the affliction whloh
had befallen her. and would often inquire
if her son was really dead.
Tee dead boy was splendidly developed
for his age and was rather good looking
He had been employed by the Savannah
Plumbing Company for several months,
havlug previously worked with Edward
Lowell’s Sons. His funeral will take plaoe
this afternoon.
ULBIOH GREEN DEAD.
His Demise in California, Where He
Went for His Health.
Mr. W. P. Green received a telegram last
night announcing the death in California of
this brother, Ulrich Green, who went there
some weeks ago for his health.
Mr. Green was about 36 years old. and a
young man of unusual promise. He came
to Savannah several years ago from near
Atlanta, and went on the road for the Sa
vannah steam b ikery. He traveled over
South Georgia for nearly three years for
that house, and was one of
toe most gentlemanly and most
popular drummers in the state.
He afterward traveled for a season
dor a local drug house. Last winter he had
the grip. It left his lungs in bad condition.
A residence of several months in Cuba
seemed to improve him, but after he re
turned to Savannah eviaences of consump
tion again appeared. He then went to
Thomasville. Not regaining bis health, he
•decided to try Lower California, and loft
for that state full of hope.
Mr. Green had many warm friends here
who willjiear of his death with sorrow.
j AN ESCAPED CON VIC r CAUGHT.
Walker, Alias Robinson, to be Sent
Back to the Mines.
Detective Morgan captured an escaped
penitentiary negro convict named Walker,
alias Robinson, yesterday. He was sent up
several years ago from Augusta for a long
term for forgery, but escaped a few months
ago.
Detective Morgan oaugbt on to him a
few dayß ago through information furnished
hum by another negro from Augusta. While
Walker was walking down Abercorn street,
near Gordon, yesterday tho detective placed
him under arrest.
The fellow offered no resistance, but upon
being searched at the liarracka was found
to have a large rock in his pocket. It was
learned later that Walker pawned a lot of
tools a few days ago at Muhlberg’s and
Strauss’. These were doubtless stolen from
someone in this city. The penitentiarv of
ficials were notified last night, and an offioer
will be sent down in a day or two to take
Walker back to the mines.

“REV." GILMORE’S NEW ROLE.
I The Ex-Cbaplaln Cutting a Lively Fig
ure Among the ihtrd Partyltee.
“Rev.” J. L. Gilmore, who was chaplain
of the Savannah Port Society for several
rears, has blossomed out into an ailiance
tblrd-party leader of sufficient notoriety to
secure the publication of the fact that he
was in attendance at the St. Louis oonveu
! tiou in papers all over the country.
Gilmore had beea a cavalryman in the
: British service, a sailor, an engineer ad an
itinerant preacher before he struck Savan
nah. After being removed from the chap
laincy of tbo Port Society aud forced from
the Methodist ministry on the charge of
intemperance, be went to Tattnall county '
and begau teaching school aud farming on '
a small scale He is a ready talker and
soon established himaeif in the con- '
fldonce of the agriculturists. The
alliance movement offered him an oppor
tunity which he was quick to teize. He
went into the society with a vim and dis
played so mush apparent devotion to the
cause that be was made a district lecturer
and devoted bis entire time to the alliance
work. After leaving Savannah be became
a total abitainer again, and hit friends say
has not been known to drink for months
past.
Gilmore went to the St Louis omventlon,
and by his course there attracted much at
tention. In that city he was, so it is stated,
admitted into the colored alliance. Then,
when the dispute over Georgia's delegation
begau, Gilmore presented himself os the
delegate from the colored alliance, and
claimed to represent eleven other delegatee.
His claim was accepted, and when Llviug
ston and the other disgusted Georgians
left the hall the last thoy
saw of the ex-Savaunahien he was address
lug the great meeting of third party cranks
and preparing to exercise his prerogative
of casting a dozen votes tor the new factor
in American politics.
The leaders of the Georgia colored alli
ance deny Gilmore’s right to iu anywise
represent it, and as the white alliaucemen
are also largely down on him on account of
his aotion at St. Louis, be is likely to find
his future path a rough one. Gilmore is
said to be ambitious to become a leading
factor in Georgia politics, and there have
been rumors of an intention on the part of
some ot bis Tattnall county friends to run
him for the next legislature.

CLOSE OF THS BAZAR.
It Will Net tho Golden Eagles About
SI,OOO.
The bazar of the Knights of the Golden
Eagle, at the Odd Fellows’ hall, closed last
night. There was a large crowd present,
aad the articles remaining on the tables
were disposed of very rapidly.
A pair of marine glasses, which were to
be voted to the most popular tea captain
coming into this port, was won by Capt.
George Havage of the City of Savanuah.
Capt. Savage’s success was due in great
measure to the efforts of Mrs. George Lam
ps rd, who was indefatigable in her canvass
for her favorite.
The bazar was a success in every way,
and will net about $1,600 after all expenses
are paid. This will go to fitting up a hall
for the nse of the three commacderles of
the city—Georgia, No. 3; R. E. Lee, No. 4,
aod I. W. Kelly, No. 5.
The success of the fair Is due In great part
to the assistance rendered by the ladies. The
lady managers were unsparing in their
efforts. They were: Mrs. E. A. M.
Schroder, Mrs. George Bchroder, Mrs. Q.
W. Allen, Mrs. P. 8. Callahan, Mrs. J. J.

POOLER’S NEW RAILROAD.
The People There Are Enthusiastic
Over the Enterprise,
The talk of anew railroad to Savannah
is still heard in Pooler. During the past
week it was learned that the corporation
whloh is to operate the road Is to invite
Poolerltes, male and female, to become
stockholders, so that they will be thoroughly
interested. It is cot the iuteution to de
pend solely upon passenger traffio for its
support, as the road is" to be run by
“dummy” engines and will haul merchan
dise, wood and vegetables. This line will
run near several large truck farms and will
haul large quantities of vegetables to
the wharves and city. Several wood deal
ers in Savanuah receive their wood from
that section, and will contribute to the busi
noss ef the road.

FIRE BUGS’ BOLD WORK.
AN ATTEMPT TO BURN POLICEMAN
HAVANAUGH’3 BOUSE.
A Back Door Burst In, tha Furniture
Broken Up and the Floor Saturated
With Kerosene and Lighted With
Matches—Mrs. Esvansugh’s Timely
Discovery Frightens Cff the Incendi
aries and Saves Her Home—The Po
lice at Work on the Case.
A bold attempt was made yesterday
morning ab ut 1 o’clock by incendiaries to
turn the house at East Broad and South
Bread street lane, in which resides the
family of Polioeman Kavanaugh, now in
jail awaiting trial for the kiilmgtof Dennis
Garrison.
Mrs. Kavanaugh was awakened by a noise
down stairs. She listened for awhile and
heard persons moving about and apparently
disturbing things generally. She jumped
out of bed to see wbat was tbe trouble, and
about the same time the beard footsteps
coming upstairs. Knocking a chair over
to let the intruders know that they bad
been discos ered, she listened and beard
tbe parties retreating, and in a minute or
two everything was quiet.
Mrs. Kavanaugh sat up until daylight, as
a result of the fright, and when tbe finally
went downstairs tbe scene which met
her gaze wet surprising. The table
drawers had been emptied upon tbeflor
and everything waa topsy-turvy. Kerosene
oil bad been sprinkled over the floor, chairs
and tables, and a number of half-burned
matches were lying in tbe oil The baok
door had been broken in by the incen
diaries.
The affair was reported to tbe polloe, but
as tbe miscreants left no trace behind
them it will be bard to find
out who they are. The orime
was no doubt committed by persons anxious
to reap revenge against Kavanaugh on ac
count of the Garrigan killing.
The theory of tbe police is that the at
tempted incendiarism was oommitted by
some of the gang whiah attempted to lure
Mayor McDonough from bis house Wednes
day night for the evident purpose of assassi
nation.
DON’T OFTEN END THAT WAY.
An Alleged Defaulter Comes Out a
Creditor of Hla Prosecutors.
The Colored Laborers’ Union Protective
Association is torn with dissension. Its
president, Alonzo L. Coleman, who, it will
be remembered, took such a prominent part
in the strike of tbe union laborers upon tbe
wharves aod in the warehouses last fall has
been displaced on a charge of defalcation.
Just after tbe strike ended last October
the Laborers’ Union Protective Association
opened up a union store on West Boundary
street, near tbe canal. Coleman, as presi
dent of tho uuion, was put in charge. Dec.
30 the store closed, with liabilities of about
S6OO. The members of the union could not
understand the failure and a meeting was
called Deo. 36 to Investigate matters.
Coleman’s aooouuts were examined and
the union came to tbe conclusion that Cole
man was short $341 70 lu his accounts, be
sides SSOO turned over to him by the treas
urer of the union and $343 38, whioh it was
claimed he should have turned into the
treasury on account of the Bale of badges,
making a total of $1,084 08, In which sum
they claimed Coleman to be a defaulter.
A second meeting was called and Cole
man was deposed from the pretidenoy and
I. S. Brown was elected president. At a
meeting of the union Jan. 13 Coleman was
summoned before it. aud was called upon
for a statement. He made a statement
showing that he had received $1,383 95. and
bad paid out every oant of it.
At a subsequent meeting it was decided to
prosecute Coleman for laroeny after trust,
and a warrant was taken out for him. He
was arrested, and the case came before
Justice Sheftall for a preliminary bearing
last week. Two days were oocupied
in hearing tho case. About twenty wit
nesses were examined on each side. H. K.
W ilson ,Esq. .represented tbe defense and W.
W. Gordon, Jr., Esq., the prosecution. Tbe
books and vouchers of tbe oonoeru were ex
amined aud it was shown that there had
been turned over to Coleman to oarry on
the store $1,654 46. Receipts from all
merchants from whom goods had been
purchased were shown to tbe amount of
$1,092 31. according to which the sooietv
was indebted to its expenses to the amount
ot $7 75. On- this showing Coleman was
discharged.
A large number of the members of the
union were p-esent at the hearing. On
Coleman’s discharge be suddenly became
very popular aud was borne off on the
shoulders of his former prosecutors.
AFTER THE 6U3PSOTS.
The Police at Work on What They
Believe a Conspiracy Against the
Mayor.
The negro who told Mayor McDonough
the story about bsing offered SSO to inveigle
him out still sticks to his tale, and the po
lice believe be Is telling tbe truth. A great
deal of quiet work is being done by the de
tectives toward ferreting out the guilty par
ties in the conspiracy to murder the mayor.
It is not improbable that several arrests
will be made within tbe next forty-eight
hours.
Mayor McDonough is not at all frightened
at the turn affair- have taken and if tho
conspirators think they can swerve him
from tbe lines he has marked out in ex
pressing the Sunday traffio iu liquor they
are badly mistaken. Even though he knew
that an assassin lurked at every corner
Mayor McDonough said he will do bit duty
and enforce the laws as he finds them, irre
spective of who is affected thereby.
Pooler’s New Hall.
Chatham Lodge No. 46 ot Odd Fellows ot

members are alive to the interest and wants
of the public. The Pooler Rifle Club and
Golden Eagles will probably continue to

only hall in Pooler except the Mason’s.
Chatham lodge is in a splendid condition.

Then he should study the modern stage—
tbe romantic drama in England and Spain

Politicians are remarkably scarce in

of people generally are discussing Hill and
Cleveland and tbe democratic nomination
for tbe preeidency, but the cloud upon tbe
political horizon, which made its appear

of a promise of a third party, appears to be
regarded with absolute indifference in
Savannah.
The matter seems to have attracted very
little attention here among all classes, aod
not even tbs leading thinkers or tbe poli

tbau passing consideration. Nor do they
seem to think it worth their while to do so.

cratic. The major believes in the sort of
democrat* who will come to tbe trough and
lick salt when they are called.
“I can’t say what this third party basi
nets will amount to,” said the major.
“They may make some headway out west,
and they may not. There it one thtng cer
tain, the south will remain solid. They znav
make some fuss in Georgia but they will
never carry tbe state. The majority of the
alliance are democrats, and they will stick
by the Democratic party.”
‘ ‘Larrv Gantt says Tom Watson can carry
tbe state for tbe third party by 50.000
majority. How is that!" the major was
asked.
" That’s as near as Larry usually gets to
it” was tbe reply.
Maj. Ryals was a strong Hill man, but
he thinks Hill has blundered irretrievably
by the oalltngof his midwinter convention to
nominate himself for the presidency aod
tha* some man outside of New York state
will be selected aa tbe democratic standards
bearer.
GAZAWAY HARTRIDGE'S VIEWS.
Gateway Hartridge made some pertinent
remarks upon the situation in Georgia:
‘‘ W heu I was in tha legislature,” he said,
‘ ’the third party or allianoe senti
ment was very strong, and there
was au evident lukewarmness
toward tbe Democratio party and an in
clination toward a third party or any party
that would incorporate the alliance princi
ples In its platform. I do not bslleve the
third party will carry the state. Tom Wat
soa will carry his own district, and I make
the prediction that he will get the demo
oratio nomination for congress from the
Tenth district this fall. You see Watson is
very strong in his own district, and as there
are a great many alliance counties in the
district all he will have to do is to claim to
be a democrat and the alliance democrats
will send enough delegates to the
convention to nominate him again
and A: then they will eleot him.
The Democratic party wonld do well to
solidify itself in tbe south by incorporating
those principles of tbe alliance In its plat
form upon which the alliance is agreed
within itself. This would not include the
sub-treasury Issue and the government
ownership of railroads, as the alliancemen
are not agreed themselves upon those points.
The Democratic party has nothing to gam
by attacking tbe alliance.”
Maj. P. W. Meldrim said he was simply
practicing law for a living and did not keep
up with politics.
col mercer’s opinion.
CoL G. A. Mercer, chairman of the county
democratic executive committee, said. "I
have taken very little interest iu politic!
lately, and hare not studied this third party
movement. I consider that St. Louis con
vention a disgrace to the American people.
It was a mere scramble from beginning to
end. I may be mistaken, but the men who
are at the head of tbis movement appear to
be entirely devoid of patriotism. They are
simply seeking the offices and endeavoring
to secure as much notoriety
as possible fer themselves. Some men will
go to any length for notoriety. They have
been known to go to the gallows merely for
tbe sake of notoriety. There is no necessity
for a third party in tbis oountry. The
Democratic party it a sufficient represent
ative of the people iu their claims for a sim
ple and economical form of government!”
OEN. LAWTON’S PREDICTION.
Gen. A. R. Lawton said he was thor
oughly out of politics and had given very
little attention to this latest move. Judging
from past experience he believes that the
movement will res lit as have many a simi
lar movement in the past, aod that it will
be short lived.
“Tbe third party may oreate some
stir at present, but will result
in nothing in the end,” he said. “It may
have some bad results on tbe comlug elec
tion, because it is so near at band, but it
will ultimately result in nothing.”
Capt. H. C. Cunningham said he did not
believe the third party would carry a
single state this fall.
Bupt. W. H. Baker of the public schools
said he don’t know wbat the third party
will do, but be believed that Hill will be
the democratio nominee.
“When I was in New York last week,”
he said, “everybody seemed to be for HilL
Cleveland was hardly mentioned.”
The publio school teachers are about
evenly divided as between Hill and Cleve

Tbere are 1,100 steamers traveling the
four great ocean routes. The first is that
across tne Atlantic, another by Suez to
Indio, Cbina and Australia. To go around
the world that way takes eighty or ninety
days, and covers 23,000 miles. The passage
money is SI,OOO and the traveler who wishes
to go in comfort and ease should take an
other SI,OOO with him. Another sea
route is that by whioh you start from Sau
Francisco and sail around the American
continent to New York. The journey is
16,500 miles long. It takes 100 days to
covar it, and the fare is about the same as
that around the world. To go around the
Cape of Good Hope to Australia and back
around Cape Horn is about 25,000 miles,
and can be covered In elghty-one days. The
cost is only $750.

A CL
LEAP YEAR LOGIC.
Changes Which Have Taken Place In
Four Years Past and Points for the
Future.
In another four rears the anniversary of
to-morrow, Feb. 29, will be celebrated.
In another four years the present admin
istration of the United States government
will be contemplating the results of third
party movements once more.
In another four years some of the ladies
who have not the oourage now to "pop the
question” will be old enough and brave
enough to take advantage of another leap
year, and do It.
In another fox years tome of the luoky
ones who have been aucoesaful this year will
begin to find out their mistake, and con
template the season with some regret.
In another four years, many ebauges will
have taken place; however, we will not look
Into the future with contemplations of dis
appointment, nor into the past with regrets.
As the gentle spring approaches and busi
ness begins to revive, every one will then
feel satisfied wikh the preseat, and the mer
chant who has been’ ’blue" for a few mouths
will again realize that It is worth while to
“get a move on him,” and then everybody
will be bappy.
It It an unfortunate thing that a mer
chant will allow dull times to trouble him
when busiuess commences to drop off; he
begins to cry hard times instead of reviving
the trade by a “spurt.” This oau be done
by a little energy displayed in the proper
manner. He must iufuse new life into the
business by stirring his stock; replenishing
when needed, in desirable lines; put on a
smiling countenance, and let tbe world
know that he is prepared to serve them.
He can do this by telling the publio
through a newspaper, which is a daily
visitor to the homes of every one.
To show how a trade can be extended to
enormous and greatly gratifying propor
tions, by carefully catering to the wants of
the public, by oontinually keeping on hend
such a line and variety as to satisfy the de
mands of the most fastidious, Is demon
strated in the business of H. Logan, the
butcher.
He has attended strictly to bit business,
selectiug a class|of choice edibles which are
superior to all competitors, and has judi
ciously advertised bis stock. The public
has nover been deceived In bis representa
tions. Everythiug is there always, just as
advertised.
The progress in this business for tbe past
four years is very perceptible.
Last leap year, tbe people of Savannah
lived on poor, Dative beef, with an occa
sional shipment of choice cuts from the
north.
Now look at the special carloads of ele
gant western meats, selected, and shipped to
H. Logan, in refrigerator cars; and see what
a luxury it is to get good, tender, purs and
fresh roasts and steak* nowadays.
Last leap year, we could not get pork and
mutton that would compare with the splen
did display from the west which Is now
placed on Logan’s stalls.
Last leap year, we had scarcely heard of
the fine large geese, turkeys, grouse aud
prairie fowls, which are now shipped from
Chicago, frozen stiff, and eagerly sought
after by those who appreciate theM excel
lent dishes, and thank Logan for his enter
prise iu catering to the wants of the public.
Last leap year one line of mule cars
brought a few passengers to the market;
now look at the number of fine electric
street cars which run within a few feet of
Logan’s stalls, carry iug hundreds of passen
gers to purchase the dinners at stalls Nos.
67 and 68.
Last leap year people brought their bas
kets to the market and snent several hourß
in hunting up what they wanted; now they
leave their orders with Logan for every
thing they need, including meats, fish and
vegetables. Tuey then go about their busi
ness and Logan “fills the bill” and sends
everything home iu one of bit delivery
wagons aud the customer is well pleased
with the selections.
Last leap year you seldom saw the ladies
visiting tbe market—because it was a bore —
but now look at tho large number of ladies of
tho most respectable and high toned families
leaving their daily orders at Logan’s. Why!
because it is a pleasure these days, and they
are always satisfied with wbat they get at
