WAS IT A CASE OF SUICIDE
THE BODY OF AN UNKNOWN WHITE
MAN FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Nothing On Hls Person By Which He
Could Be Identified—He Was Neatly
Dressed and Appeared to Be About
45 Years of Age—Supposed to Ee a
Stranger Who Desired to Go to an
Unmerited Grave.
Friday night about dark the body of a
white man was discovered floating In the
river near Fort Jackson light. It was
brought to the city and turned over to
Coroner Dixon.
There is a mystery connected with this
drowning that may never be settled. No
body appears to know anything about the
man aud his identity it enveloped in an un
oertalnty that will never be unraveled,
probably, as his body has been buried.
When found the body was pretty well pre
served. The features were not mutilated
and there were no marks to show that he
had been the victim of foul play. In the
absenoe of all definite knowledge about
him it is presumed that he committed
suicide, but when or where the act was oom-
Kitted is unknown.
The general appearance of the corpse in
dicated that it had been in the water a day
or two and though ooneiderxbly swollen,
the features aud characteristics of the man's
face were easily discernible. After being
brought to the oity the body began rapidly
to decompose and Coroner Dickson found it
necessary to bury it at 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon. The interment was at Laurel
Grove cemetery.
The ooroner kept the body as long as was
possible in hope that some light could be
thrown on the case, but with tne most dili
gent Investigation he failed to find any one
who knew him or had ever seen him
before. The drowned man had nothing
in his pocket to show who he
was. There was no note or anything else
in his possession to give a olew to his iden
tity. His clothes were in good oondition
and indicate he was a man in ordinary cir
cumstances. His coat aud vest were of
plaid and his trousers were black. He was a
man apparently about 40 or 45 years old,
and had sandy hair, mustaohe and whiskers.
He was about 6 feet 6 inches in bight.
The ahsolute absence of everything that
would throw any light as to who the man
was or where he came from is pretty clear
evidenoe that it was a case of premeditated
suioide. He probably came from some
other city or town and kept himself hid to
that no one would tee him until the deed
had been oommitted. As far as oould be
learned no one had ever seen him in Savan
nah. If the suioide theory is the correct
one the unknown dead man certainly most
siiooessfully carried out his plan' of en
shrouding the whole thing in mystery.
AN IMPERTINENT PRISONER.
Ho Curses Out tbe JutJeo, tho Solicitor
and Court Cfflclals.
Beveral criminal oases wars trisd la tbs
city court yesterday. The first was against
William Smith, alias "One-eyed” Mongiu, a
notorious negro gambler aud all round la*,
breaker. Mongin was charged with at
tempting to enter the house or Mary Adams
on Indian street, being refused admission
he drew a pistol and tnreatened to shoot
her. Ha was arrested yesterday morning
by Detective Humphries and Justice War
iug Kussell turned him over to theoity
court. While in court Mongin, who was
under tbe influence of liquor, cursed the
judge, tbe solicitor general and the oourt
generally, using the most blasphemous oaths
aud foulest epithets. Judge MacDoneil
sentenoed him totwoyears in the chain-gang.
John Brown and George West were both
convicted of larceny and got six months
each.
Willie Williams and William Raiford,
two negro boys, were sentenced to twelve

THE DECEMBER TERM.
A Big Criminal Docket For the Su
perior Court.
The December term of the superior court
will convene to-morrow morning at lu
o’clock. It is likely that no business will be
transacted, as the court is expected to ad
journ out of respect to the memory of the
late Judge Adams. The committee of the

preeent its report, and after remarks by
different lawyers the court will adjourn. It

possess considerable interest. Tyson killed
two negroes named William Williams and
William Green with a shotgun one Monday
about six months ago at the Electric Railway
Company's works. Since the killing Tyson
has been known as the double murderer.
The case of Jake Waldourg is familiar to
the publio. Sever , 1 weekß ago he killed
Celia Coleman at a negro dance at Sandfly.
The jury Impaneled by the coroner, which
was composed of negroes, returned a ver
dict of accidental shooting, but the testi
mony showed that Waidburg was shooting
at negroes on the outside and meant to kill
somebody. Solicitor General Fraser there
fore deoilied to p osoeute him for murder.

"MB. POTTBH OF TEXAS.’*
Only One Show Before the Footlights
This West,
There will be only one attraction at the
theater this week, “.Mr. Potter of Texas"
Wednesday night. The play is a striking
one, worthy of liberal patronage. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette of Nov. 14
had the following notice of the play:
’ ‘The ’standing room’ sign was out at both
perforuianoee at Heuok’s yesterday, and the
merit of the performances given well de
served suoh liberal patronage. ’Mr. Potter
of Texas' was the play, and, presented as it
was. by a most capable oompaay, certainly
merited the best applause. But few nesd
be told that the piece is a clever dramatiza
tion of Mr. Archibald Gunter’s famous
novel, ’Mr. Potter of Texas,’ and the
knowledge is common to the many that its
story is one of the moat interesting and one
of the best, told in modern literature, its
arrangement for the stage is extremely
clever, and its acting wus quite as good as
there oould be any reason to desire. Mr.
Henry Weaver, Jr., in the title role, was
admirable: while the ’Lady Sarah Anner
ley’ of Miss Steila Boniface was as thor
oughly a good piece of stage work as has
been seen at lienck’s this season. ‘Mr. Sid
ney Vao Oott,' as played by John E. Hynes,
was also very clever, and the same may be
said in praise of Mr. Basil West’s ’Charlie
Errol’ and Mr. Hugh Gibson’s ‘Ralph
Errol' and ‘Baron Linooln,' Mr. Harry
Brinsley, Guy Nichols, Mr. P. J. Reynolds,
Miss Cecil James, Miss Georgia Busby and
the others of the company acquitted them'
selves handsomely."

There was a lively runaway on Broughton
street yesterday which came near resulting
seriously. A horse belonging to George
Anderson attached to a street wagon, rau
down Broughton street and turned into
Drayton, narrowly missing a carriage and
buggy containing two little boys. The
Buggy horse became frightened also and
started to run away, but was stopped by
two gentlemen in time to prevent what
would probably have proved a very serious
accident. The wagon horse corftinued down
Drayton street until he collided with an iron
post, wrecking tbe vehicle and throwing
himself to tbe ground.
Someone remarked that the devil Is
among tbe clothiers, because so much cut

chant has all he can do to tend to his own
business. "The Famous" Clothing House
finds (notwithstanding tbe benvy sales) too
muoh goods on hand; to move them we cut
prices, and the profits go ’up in smoke.
The goods on hand don’t appreciate if cot
ton did go up, and we think it decidly bet
ter to sell even without any profit
rather than let them lay. "The Famous"
thinks that the best, and we act accord
ingly; cut prices and give our customers
the benefit. Others may think otherwiio
and bug their goods. This would be a poor
world if we were all of ouemind.The wisdom
of "The Famous" Clothing House’s action
in cutting prices was shown in the greatly
increased sales last week of suits, overcoats,
trousers and boys’ clothing; furnishing
goods too, we sold piles of it, giving in that
lino 10 per ce il, discount for oast. "The

A Budget of Newsy Items From the
Little Suburban Town.
William TANARUS, Snider, eon of George Snider,
an apprentice to E. C. Paoetti, tinner, of
Savannah, orought home a specimen of his
handiwork last week in the shape of a
weather vane, about three feet in length.
Besides the point of the compass there are
two revolving balls, one turning to the
right aud the other to the left when the
wind blows. The vane is intended for his
father’s house. The entire work was done
during his leisure moments and dinner
hours.
Tuesday, Deo. 22, Phosnix oastle, K. G.

popular young misser. There are four in
the race and it is diifieulc to tell wno will
come out ahead, as all are well known and
popular. They are Misses Marie Harper,
Marie Pattersm, Ada Newton and May
Davis.
Last week the Mousing News Pooler cor
respondent recoived from Photographer
William E. Wilson of bavannah a photo
graph of a prominent Poolerite who was
taking in the city last week. From the ex
pression of his faoe one would think that he
was mourning about the poor shooting he
did In the turkey contest on Thanksgiving
day. The picture was a snap shot und is a
good one.
Last week a conversation was had with
Maj. Blandford, the county engineer, in
reference to the drainage of Pooler. He
cheerfully gave all information desired.
On account of the foroeof couviots diminish
ing, by reason of terms expiring, the “flying
dragoons” have not been able to reach
Pooler,as Maj. Blandford ooDtemplated. He,
however, has been over the town, made hie
measurements and knows just wnat is
needed most in the way of drains. With
the aid of the large county map all the pro
posed drains were shown, and there is no
doubt but when they are completed Pooler
itos will be made happy as far as the drain
age of their town is concerned.
Readers of the Morning News liviog in
the county outside of .Savannah have been
surpiised at the manner in w hich the po
litical slatemakers of Savannah have gob
bled ud the couuty commissioners’ offices.
Out of about fifteen names suggested for
the positions, there is not a single
man mentioned living outside of Sa
vannah. As the candidates are to
represent the county, It seems that the
oity ought to be satisfied with four
und give the “crackers” one. There is no
excuse about not having mater al, as Mon
teith. Thunderbolt, White Bluff, Montgom
ery, Pooler, etc., oould surely scrub up one
man who could represent us. If a combi
nation could be made with the First district
and Tammany clubs of Savannah, there is
no doubt that a countryman oould slip in.
All that is needed is to get a man to agitate
the move and we would wiu.
There is a mask ball on tapis to be
given by the young ladies and gentlemen of
Pooler. It will take plaos during Xmas
week.
The Pooler Rifle Club will hold Its regu
lar monthly meeting next Thursday night
at the home of Vice President J. R. Wilh
ington. A pleasant time is anticipated.
The many friends of Uncle Mike Jordan
will regret to learn that he bas been dis
charged from the Tybee division of the
Central. Uncle Mike has been with tbe
road many years, and there is no one living
along the line bat will regret to know that
he is no longer with tbe road. It was said
at the time that be was removed from tho
Shoofly that it wae only a move to get rid
of him, and the predlctioa. it seems, bas
turned out true.
The Chatham Rifle Clnß will hold Its
regular meeting Thursday next at the bouse
of Treasurer J. H. Adams, and as a light
collation will be given the boys a large at
tendance is looked for.
During the pnst couple of months several
parties in Pooler have missed their cattle
and no one seemed to know of their where
abouts until last week, when tbe mystery
was solved. It now transpires that they
were shot by negroes living near the Ogee
chee canal. One gentleman has proof that
one of bis oows was shot, as eight buck
shot holes were found in her side. He would
nover have found out what became of her
bad it not been for the bell and strap on her
neck. A white man, knowing the bell,
took it off of tbe cow and gave it to tbe
owner. Circumstantial evidence was o
strong against Robert Houston being the
paTy who did tbe killing that a warrant
was issued and Houston put in jail. He
gave bond and bas been released.
A good joke is told on Jim Moore tbe
.popular engineer of the Shoofly. Friday
morning his regular engine, No. 129, was
put in the shop for repairs and his overalls
were locked up in his box. When he went
to the shed to take the dinner train
out he found to his surprise that
engine No. 1586 was attached to
his train. Not having time to go
ti the round house for his overalls he made
the run to Guyton in his store-bought
clothes, and that is what caused the trouble.
Employes living along the Hue seeing tbe
dinner train run by a man with a white
shirt and tie on, and his head covered by a
fine derby hat, began to wonder what was
up. They had never seen Jim pull out in that
shape before and they could not understand
It. Some thought a strike had been de
clared, and that a scab was running the
engine, but upon close examination they
found to their surprise that it was tbe only
and original Jim. Some of the engineers
hearing of it, enjoyed a big laugh at his
expense.
H. H. Sellers of Savannah was proßpeot
ing in Fooler last week and will probably
be a Poolerite soon. He was very much
pleased with the growing town.
.1 an. 7 the voters of the Eighth district
will be called upon to vote for a magistrate
and constable, and it behooves each and
every one to make it bis busluess to vote
that dny. A move bas been made, which if
not met by a strong array of vote., will put
n nerro in the office now occupied by Judge
Bevans. Every voter should register and
cast his vote before the polls are closed. The
hours will bo from 7 o’clock a. m. to 6
o’clock p. m. and the election will be held in
Pooler. Judge Bevans has consented to be
a candidate for re-election.
A deal has been consummated which will
be a big improvement to Gill town. Mr. Sol
Sheftail haa (rot control of the Gill property
at the crossing and will soon commence the
erection of some neat dwelling houses. The
GUIs will move away. Mr. Sheftall will
demolish the log houses that are now oa the
track. It was not learned what the con
sideration was in the deal. With convenient
accommodation from the Central this place
would soon build up and furnish a large
number of patrons for the road.

80ME BASE BALL FIGURES.
Why the Game Did Not Prosper in the
South in the Past.
A Morning News reporter on his rounds
yesterday, found Mr. D. A. Long and sev
eral baseball enthusiasts looking over a noat
map that shows the location of the different
cities in the Southern I<eague for the coming
season and the mileage between these citiea
The map idea is interesting, ns it easily
furnishes a means of quickly arriving at the
cost of maintaining a elub on the road.
In former years the Southern League
uovered almost the same geueral territory,
but contained a fewer number of cities to
break the long jumps. Therefore, the ex
pense of traveling then was much greate
than at present. Again, there were many
off days In a season caused by these long
jumps, whereas in the oonsiug year not a
single day will be lost.
In 1888, taking Birmingham, for example,
the club would leave home to play a seriee
of four games ta New Orleans From that
point it jumped to Charleston, a distance of
824 miles. The club was composed of
fourteen men, and the mileage for the team
would represent 11,536 miles for one person,
and a 2cents rate per mile amounted to
S2BB 40, adding to this sleepers at S2B, and
four meals for the entire team at $42, and
the total foots up $358 40 for traveling ex
penses alone in making one jump.
The club lost one day in making this
jump. Supposing the attendance at this
game dost) would have been 2,000 at 25
cents, the receipts would amount to SSOO,
one-half of wLioh would have gone to the
visitlug team. This $250 lost by not being
able to play, added to the
traveling expense, brought the expenses
of one jump up to S6OB 40. locludiug the
cost of the team during the four days it
remained at Charleston for board bills and
carnages, the sum total for a single trip
amounted to $704 40 outside of salaries,
balls, bats, etc.
The club will carry only eleven men and
get a 2-cent rate on the railroads. For
eleven m-n at 2 cents per mile for 348 miles
the oost will be $76 56, sleepers sl2 and one
meal $5 50, amounting altogether to SO4 06.
Next season the olubs will play three-game
series in each city, end the expense of keep
ing a team for that tlina will amount to
but $49 50. The hotel rates will be $l5O
per day and the clubs will go to the grounds
in street cars free. No games will be lost on
account of long jumps. There
fore, it can be readily seen
why baso ball in the south was unsuccessful
up to the past season. The difference in the
cost of running a team in the south in 1885,
1886 or 1888 and the present will be $764 40
against $143 50 for one trip. The expense
has been cut down to less than one-fifth,
and during this time the south has been
growing to a great extent and the people
have become better posted in regard to the
national game, whloh reasonably guaran
tees larger aud better attendance. In other
words, the expense of ruoolng base ball
has been greatly decreased .while the income
from the larger attendance has been greatly
increased.
The Bavannan club will play 06 games at
home and 66 abroad. Supposing eaoh game
averages 1,000 people, or 132,008 in all, and
each dub gets .50 per cent, of the gate re
ceipts, or 12>s cents for eaoh person, lliW
times 132,000 will foot np $16,500. During
the time the club is|playing at home at least
one-half of the attendance will occupy seats
lu the grand stand. This means 33,000 peo
ple in the grand stand and $8,250in receipts.
With proper managuinent SSO per game
can be taken in from privileges and ad
vertising on the grounds. This will amount
to $3,300. Tbs total then will tie $26,650
or more than double what will be required
to ran a team bare.
Nothing has been decided yet In regard
to locating the park, ae the street oar com
panies are nil trying to get it on their own
tinea The matter will be settled, however,
this week.
Manager Manning la already correspond
ing with many of the best ball players In the
eouutry, and will gather together for Sa
vannah the strongest club that has ever
represented a southern city.
Up to the present time Mr. Long has
made nn effort to place anv of the stock on
aooount of being busy arranging for park
and other matters, but he will begin doing
so at once.
Augusta and Charleston have already
issued over 100 season tickets, which goes a
great ways to assure the suooesH of base ball
in both places. Savannah cannot afford to
be behind her neighbors in this respect.
Every base ball lover and the peopl# gen
erally will no doubt do their part in
making -Savannah one of the best ball towns
in the south and help set the paoe for the
others to follow-.
Savannah it assured of an excellent club
and the people ought to do the right thing
by it and give the game the support it
deserves.
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and other National League olubs
have written for dates with Savannah’s
team in the spring, and some good ball
playing wiil bo seen here before the regular
season opens.
A LYCEUM FOR SAVANNAH.
A Movement to Give the Citizens a
Higher Class of Entertainments.
There is a movement on foot to organize
in Savannah a branch of the Southern Ly
ceum circuit, which is composed of the cit
ies of Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Rome, Co
lumbus, Savannah and Charleston. At pres
ent Augusta is the only city which has one in
active operation, and it has proved such au
interesting feature of their entertainments
that it Is very probable that one will be or
ganized in each of the above named cities
this month. The object of the lyceum is to
arrange for a course of entertainments on
a higher order than those now In vogue, and
by having a lyceum in each of the above
named cities the officers can get tbe best tal
ent at a most reasonable cost.
The Augusta lyceum now has nearly 300
members, and, although it has only been
organized a little over a month, it has
booked some of the finest concerts and
lecturers in tbe country. It is the intention
of those who are in charge of the organiza
tion of the Savannah branch to get as many
members as are interested and then call a
meeting to eleot the regular officers, after
which it will book the same attractions that
Augusta now has, which inoludes Thomas
Nelson Page, the New York Symphony
Club and other fine attractioas. By this
moans the entertainments can be secured at a
very reasonable price. So far tbe gentlemen
in charge have been very successful, and
have secured the co-operation of some of
the best citizens of the city, and it Is very
probable that Savannah will soon have a
lyceum as large as any in the state.
