8 A VERDICT OF MURDER. Result of the Inquest Over the Body of Joe Davis. Bristoe Hunter Who is Charged With Being an Accomplice Gives Him self Up to the Authorities—He Says That Quarterman Came Into the City With Him With tho Same In tent, But Others Say he Left Thun derbolt By Boat Yesterday Morn ing-Hunter’s Version of the Diffi culty Which Led to the Crime. Bristoe Hunter, one of tho men con cerned in tho killing of Joe Davis, who ■was shot at Thunderbolt on Sunday night in a drunken row, came in yesterday and pave himself up to Officer Kaufmaun, who carried him to Justice Naughtiu’s court, where a warrant charging him with murder was sworn out. After the coroner’s jury rendered its verdict he was taken to jail. Hunter's version of the killing differs very materially from that given by the witnesses who testified before the coro ner's jury. According to him it was Davis who had the pistol in the barroom, and Davis who fired the first shot, lie says Davis attempted to shoot him and he tried to take the pistol from him, it being discharged in the tussel which ensued. He then ran out followed by Davis, who was brandisliiug the pistol and threaten ing to kill him. SAID DAVIS TRIED TO SHOOT QUARTERMAN. Hunter says that Quarterman then fol lowed thorn with the gun to prevent Davis from shooting him, and that when he did Davis turned and threatened to shoot Quarterman. When ho attempted to raise his pistol to shoot, Hunter says, it was that Quarterman fired tho fatal shot. Hunter says he went off and slept in the.woods not SIK) yards from the point where the shooting took place, and that ho was afraid to come in town at the time, as ho didn't know what the enraged ne groes might do to him, but he intended to come in in the morning and givo himself up to tlie authorities. Where Quarter man is he said he did not know, but he says he went to Quarterman's house at daybreak and told him he had better come into town and give himself to the authorities. CAME IN WITH QUARTERMAN. This, he says, Quaterman agreed to do, and he states that they came in together, and he left Him at Charlton ana Bull streets with the understanding that Quarterman was going to the barracks shortly afterward and give himself up to tbo authorities. Hunter's story and those told at the in quest differ very materially on this point, and to all appearances Hunter has made some mistake, as Quarterman has not shown up near the city, and the testi mony of some people living at Thunder bolt is to the effect that Quarterman was seen there yesterday morning, and that he took a boat and went down the Thun derbolt river. As yet Quarterman has not shown up. and to all appearances he must havo changed his mind since he last saw Huntor. A VERDICT OF MURDER. Coroner Dixoii went out to Thunderbolt yesterday morning,got a jury together and held an inquest. According to the tes timony of witnesses at the hearing Hunter and Seipio Maxwell, who were arrested shortly after the row, and who are now in jail, had a row during the evening and Davis took Maxweli’spart. The difficulty arose over a dispute about some woman. The row began early in the evening and about‘J o'clock Hunter and Quarterman left tho saloon and did not return for three quarters of an hour or an hour. This was the testimony of all tho wit nesses who were in the place at the time and who noticed the difficulty. It was then that Quarterman secured his gun and secreted it, it is thought behind the fence which lie jumped, when he went to lire the fatal shot. DREW UIS PISTOL IN THE BAR. The testimony was also to the effect that Hunter palled his pistol in the bar after he and Quarterman had returned, and that Davis jumped at him in an effort to get it away from him, when it was dis charged. All the witnesses stated that Hunter was the man who had the pistol. During this scrap the gang rushed from the bar, when Quarterman followed, going on tho inside of the lot and getting his gun, after which he jumped the fence and shot his victim. It was also stated at the inquest that Quarterman had been seen in Thunderbolt yesterday morning, and that he took a boat and went off down the Thunderbolt river. The question is, why was he not captured then? The coroner's jury could reach only one conclusion, and that was that Davis had been murdered. There was no doubt whatever from the testimony, that Quarterman was tho man who tired the fatal shot, and he was charged with the murder, and Hunter was charged with being an accomplice. Maxwell will also be held for further investigation into the matter. GETTING TOO MUCH BUSINESS. Two Old Fort Washerwomen Grow Jealous and Beat Another at the Wharf. Warrants were sworn out yesterday at Justice Elsinger's court charging Mary Days and Bessie Bully, both of Goat alley down in the Old Fort, with assault and battery, and they will be arrested and made to answer to the charge before Judge MacDonell. It seems that on Saturday night Annie Pindar, who does washing for some of the sailors on the wharves went, down to the steamship Monomoy to get some washing, and these two women, who were there, and did not get the share of the business they expected, jumped on her and beat her unmercifully, biting her and scratching her up in several places. She was outnumbered, or to all appearances she might have come out first best in the contest. She was told by the women who did the beating that she need net attempt to have them arrested, as they stood in with the solicitor general and Judge MacDonell, and they would get out of the difficulty all right. They will ap pear before the court this ween, and it will be seen when their cases come up how far their influence with the judici ciaries will take, them through. THE STEAMER SWAN SUNK. Struck a Snag in the Ocmulgee River and Gone Under. The steamer Swan struck a snag in the Ocmulgee river and sunk last Saturday. The steamer was on a trip from Abbeville, for Hawkinsville, where she was to re ceive a cargo of naval stores. She had re cently been purchased by H. E. Bradford, of Americas, and others, from parties at Darien, and was to have been put regu larly on the Ocmulgee river, to ply be twoen Abbeville and Hawkinsville. She was on her first trip to Ifawkins ville, and about forty-five miles up the river from Abbeville when she struck the snag. It was about ti o'clock in tho afternoon. A hole was knocked through the steamer s bow, ainlshesuiik it: twenty minutes She is a total wreck.

Representatives Guerard and Doolan left last night for Atlanta, to be on the ground for the opening of the legislature to-morrow. Mr. Osborne will go up to day. Representative Guerard said yesterday j there is a tremendous amount of husi ! ness to come up at this session. He is very much in favor of the hill to give the police court Jurisdiction in gambling, carrying concealed weapons and vagrancy cases, and believes that such a law would effect a much needed reform. Another thing that Mr. Guerard is very much in favor of is ;t state registration law which will fix the question of regis tration for once and all. He says he much prefers astute registration law to a local law, but if a state law can not be secured he favors the ideas set? forth in Mr. Osborne's municipal election bill. “1 think a stab; law will be passed though,” he said. “There seems to be a general sentiment in favor of such a law. All the important states now have systems of election and registration, commonly known as Australian, which are recognized as great improvements upon the old free and easy style of conducting elections. Any measure which will do away with the fraud and corruption now so common in our elections will be a great improvement upon our present system.” Mr. Guerard is Opposed to the present dual system of registration, which re quires a voter to register twice in a few months, once for tho city election and once for the county election. He thinks one registration should he sufficient for all elections held within two years. ’ The editorial in the Morning News this morning on the subject of registration meets my ideas exactly.” said Mr. Guerard. “Tho Rhode Isiand plan seems tho proper one. Any man who has property is compelled to pay his taxes, whether he registers or not. There is no reason why his name should not be transferred to Ihe registry list when his taxes arc paid and kept there as long as he pays his taxes. There is no necessity for him to come up and register every time an election is to ba held, when he has property out of which his taxes can be collected.” Mr. Guerard is unalterably opposed to the state appropriating money to tho sup port of the branch colleges. He says these branch colleges are only high schools, and that the state shouldoestab lish one in every county or none at all. He believes in properly supporting the state university and in giving all tho money possible to the common schools, but he does not think the state has tho right to appropriate money for the sup port of a few institutions which are of benefit to only limited sections of the State. HOW THE CLEARINGS STAND. Savannah’s Increased Percentage Still Way Up on the List. The increased percentage of tho Savan nah clearings for last week over the same week of last year was $33.5 per cent. For several weeks past Savannah has taken the lead in tho increased percentage of clearings for tho week over the same week of last year, and she still stands practically at the head. Last week, however, the little town of Emporia, Kan., made a big stride and recorded au increase of 49.9 per cent. Emporia’s clearings, however, are very small, as compared with those of Savan nah, which is ahead in these percentages of all other cities in the United States. The other cities which show an increase for the same period are Houston, Tex., 18.1, Hartford, Conn., 5.6, Waco, Tex., 32.7, Binghamton, 5.5 per cent., aud Gal veston 16.5. New York still shows a largely decreased percentage, as do all other cities in the llnitod States, with ihe exceptions mentioned above. CUT WITH A COTTON HOOK. Two Negroes Have a Bloody Row at the S-, F. and W. Ootton Wharf. Solomon Jackson aufiP) ’eter Bragg are in the barracks for fighting on the Savan nah, Florida and Western wharves. They are two genuine negroes, aud the tight be tween them grew out of nothing as usual, but.resulted in both of them getting hurt pretty badly. They were hauling cotton to the wharves yesterday afternoon, and at the time both of them were working at the same dray. A dispute arose as to liow far the mules should be made to back, and to decide it Bragg jumped at Jackson aud cut him across the head with a cotton hook. Jackson then whipped out a belt knife and made a lunge at his adversary.eutting him badly in the side. Both were lodged in the barracks, and they may be turned over to the city court as a result of their meiee. From Bainbridge’s Ladies. Tho Morning News received the fol lowing letter yesterday inclosing $49.70 for the Brunswick sufferers: Editor Morning News: Enclosed please find iMH.7O. This amount was raised ;it a concei t and basket auction for the bunotU of the Brunswick sufferers. Pleaso forward it to tho proper parties, from The Ladies of Bainbiuugk. The contribution will be forwarded to Mayor Lamb to-day. The South Salem Baptist church, of Liberty county, contributed sls yesterday to the Brunswick fund, at the city ex change, through Mr. M. M. Moody. A cash subscription of sls was also re ceived from a Savannah gentleman. $lO For Each Offense. James Randolph, colored, paid a S3O fine iD tho police court yesterday morn ing. Randolph was arrested by Police man Dyer for obstructing the sidewalk at Wheaton and Randolph streets Sun day night. Instead of moving on when ordered to do so, he cursed the officer, and after being placed under arrest, suc ceeded in wresting liis club from him. Charges were made against Randolph for all these offenses, and the recorder fined him #lO on each charge. Randolph paid up his fines, but he will be more cautious in his eondnet toward poiice officers here after. Death of Mrs. Mary McGiashan. Mrs. Mary J.

A Mistake That Cost Quarantine In spector LiMhtburn His Job. The Health Office Overrun. With All Sorts of Complaints—The Inspectors Under Orders to Admit No One to the City Without a Certificate “in Prop er Form >, -Hualth Officer Brunner's View of the Fever Now. Quarantine Inspector Lightburn was dismissed by Health Officer Brunner yesterday, and Orlando Lufburrow was substituted in his place. Mr. Lightburn was dismissed because ho allowed a Jesup refugee who had been intrusted to his keeping, to depart without tho per mission of the health officer. Two or three days ago Dr. Brunner was notified by Assistant Surgeon Niedeckor, at Waveross, that a negro had escaped from Jesup, and had gone in the direction of Savannah. The negro was located near Pooler Sunday and City Marshal Wade and inspector Laird went out and effected his arrest. He was brought down to the Four Mile Hill and sent around to Southover junction, where Inspector Lightburn was, to bo held until he could be sent back to Jesup. I.ET A REFUGEE GO. Dr. Brunner was surprised yesterday morning when ho was informed that the negro had been allowed to go. Light burn's excuse to the inspector who was sent out to investigate the matter was that Mr. Battle, who is stationed at Southover by the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, had decided that tho man was from Augusta. Dr. Brunner was very much chagrined at this state of affairsand dismissed Inspector Lightburn as soon as he had ascertained the facts in the ease. Mr. O. Lufburrow, who was appointed to fill the vacancy, is a brother of Inspector Charles Lufburrow. J. D. Hackett and Fred Warner were ordered sent out of town by tho recorder yesterday morning. They were two white tramps, who came from Chatta nooga. They evaded the quarantine offi cers by riding in on the trucks of a freight train. They were arrested shortly after thoir arrival and taken to the barracks, where they were kept until they were sent out of the city. NOTHING BUT CERTIFICATES. Inspector Charles Lufburrow lias been tho subject of more “cussing out” than probably all the other quarantine inspect ors put together. Ho lias charge of the morning train on the Central railroad, and has made a record of putting off more people than any other inspector. The morning train on the Central railroad is usually crowded, and there are frequently from one to a dozen people on board who have failed to properly equip themselves with health certificates. Mr. Lufburrow enforces his orders rigidly in every case, with the consequence that the transient population of Meldrim has been greatly increased by unwilling visitors within the last few weeks. There have been numerous complaints because lie refused to exercise any discretion or discrimination. When the complainants went to Dr. Brunner, however, they were informed that the inspector was allowed no discretion in the matter and was sim ply obeying orders. The rule appears to he certificate or nothing. COMPLAINTS EVERT DAT. Yesterday there was anew cause of complaint and several gentlemen in dignantly demanded Mr. Lufbur row 's discharge. They did not get it, however. They were all equipped l with health certificates which they secured from Dr. Brunner be fore leaviug the city, and when they were put off by the inspector yesterday morn ing they were uaturally indignant. They showed their health certificates, which had been stamped at various places dur ing their absence from the city, and de manded that they be allowed to enter the city. The inspector refused on the ground that, while the certificates were in proper form, the dates stamped on them were too far apart, in one case no date having been recorded on the certificate for a week. The gentlemen were allowed to come into the city on the next train, be ing all well known citizens. THE HEALTH OFFICER’S ORDERS. One of the party, a prominent business man’, called upon Dr. Brunner and de manded Inspector Lufburrow's dismissal and was fully satisfied that his demand would be granted. He was informed, how ever, that the inspector had acted accord ing to orders. Dr. Brunner explained that a certificate which did not show a daily record .of the movements of the holder is worthless. The mere fact that a party had obtaiued a certificate from the health officer two weeks before is no evidence that he had not been in an infected locality since leaving Sa vannah, and unless the certificate h3 been stamped at the various places where its holder has been, so as to show that he has not been in an infected locality, it can not be received by the inspectors. The gentleman wanted to know why the. evidence of receipted hotel bills and other memoranda, which were exhibited, had not been accepted as sufficient. “If I had been on the train,” said Dr. Brunner to the gentleman, “and knowing you as u citizen of Savannah, and a reputable man, the evidence would have been sufficient, but the inspect ors are not allowed to know, anyone. They are given certain in structions to carry out, and they uro ex pected to obey orders.” DRUMMERS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. Dr. Brunner spid that several drum mers have been holding thequarantine up to ridicule by boasting of having passed the inspectors on the exhibition of re ceipted bills, and such memoranda, which they had fabricated themselves, and he proposed to put a stop to all such abuses. “The tug of war is coming now with the police department,” said Dr. Brunner to a Morning News reporter yesterday. “Two weeks ago I was thinking of run ning for mayor. In ten days from now I couldn’t be elected for constable. Some of the people who declared six weeks ago that my salary should be doubled hardly speak to me now. The quarantine is getting tiresome, just as 1 knew it would. It is a nuisance of course, but one that is made necessary by the cir cumstances. Because wo have not caugtit the fever yet, the people think we are out of the woods, hut they are badly mistaken. The danger is not over yet and will not be for some time to come. Until the fever abates ill Brunswick it will be necessary to maintain tlie quaran tine, and the people will have to bear with its inconvenience as best they can. ” The Morning News has received a card signed by the mayor and marshals and a dozen business firms, of Rhino, on the Savannah, Amerieus and Montgom ery, stating that none of them have heard the ageut of tho Sam road at that place say, nor heard of his saying |hat there was yellow fever in Savannah, and desir ing the rumor, that such had been tho ease, corrected. The matter was re ported to Health Officer Brunner a week or two ago, and ho at once took seeps to set the agent at Rhine right if heJjad not made any such statement as had oeeu attributed to him.

THE LITTLE GEORGIA MAGNET. She Outdoes the Combined Efforts of Several of Savannah s Scientists. Annie Abbot, known as “The Little Georgia Magnet,” appeared before an en thusiastic audience at the theater last night, which she delighted by her mani festations of her wonderful power, which proved too much for about a dozen of Sa vannah's strong men. She was brought before the audience by her manager, who gave a brief account of her history and the discovery of the peculiar magnetic power which she has exercised since she was 7 years of ace. In response to requests from the man ager Drs. Bayd, Charlton, F. C. Wilson, Brandt, Profs. Baker, Taliaferro and Crowther, judge Hampton Ferrill, Emile Newman, Esq., Mr. F. D. Blood worth and Mr. W. S. Tison took seats on the stago and agreed to become subjects of the tests of her force. The peculiarity of the force was that it was manifested only when the flesh of Mrs. Abbott came in contact with that of the subject, there being no response whatever when there was any insulation, such as a silk handkerchief between. The first test was the holding of a chair by one of the gentlemen, who encircled it with his arms, and several others put their hands upon it to see that there was no pressure exerted. But at the slightest touch from the hand of Mrs. Abbott, whoever held the chair moved quickly around the stage in response to it. Mr. W. S. Tison walked out with a tri umphant look as he was asked to pull a chair from the hands of Mrs. Abbott which she held foosely without clasping it. As ho buttoned up his coat with a de termined look, the audience cheered him lustily. But it was no use, the chair wouldn't come down. Superintendent Baker had to bow to the loud applause which greeted him before his effort to do the same tiling, but he, too, had to return to his chair in defeat. Airs. Abbott then held a round stick in her open hands almost perpendicularly, and all of the gentlemen were invited to endeavor to pull it down. After an unsuc cessful effort by Dr. Brandt, there wero loud cries of “Wilson!” “Wilson!” from the audience, and indeed. Dr. Wilson seemed, to be their favorite strong man during the evening, but he fared no better than tho others. Try as he would, the stick wouldn’t budge. The combined ef forts of Drs. Wilson and Brandt and Air. Bloodworth met with no better success, and they returned to their seats with de cidedly flushed faces from the efforts they had in vain exerted. Then eatne the test of lifting Mrs. Ab bott. Judge Ferrill has probated many a will, but that one before him was an in soluble mystery. Ho could lift her with hankerchiefs between his hands and her arms, they seeming to act as insulators, but when the handkerchiefs were removed she stood like a statue bound to the floor, and the judge gave it up as impossible. The combined efforts of Drs. Boyd, Wil son and Brandt, Prof. Taliaferro, Judge Ferrill and Mr. Tison met with the same defeat. Drs. Chariton and Brandt let Airs. Abbott stand on their hands and an effort was again made to lift her. They stated that there was no diminution whatever in her weight while the at tempt was being made. The combined efforts of Prof. Crowther, Messrs. Newman and Bloodworth and Supt. Baker failed to move Airs. Abbott, although she was standing on nothing but her heel. She would hold in her hand a rod, stand on one heel and then any of the committee was invited to attempt to push Mrs. Abbott over. They all tried one after another and failed in each instance to move her an inch. The combined ef forts of four met with no better success. A peculiar physical fact about Mrs.,Ab bott is her abnormal pulse and tempera ture. Dr. Boyd stated that her pulse was ISO, while tho normal is from 04 to 80. Dr. Brandt said her temperature Was 95.4, while the normal is 98.4. Several of the physicians stated that they had never be fore beard of a similar case. The way in which she handled the doctors and pro fessors was amusing, to say the least. Miss Abbott's notices, which her man ager distributes to the press, credit her with having given performances before about every crowned head on the globe. She is erodited by an Atlanta newspaper man with having 850,000 worth of dia monds, pearls and other jewels, and is otherwise pretty well fixed with this world’s goods. Her scrap-books contain 1,300 pages from the leading magazines, newspapers and periodicals, written in scores of different languages and largely decorated with profuse illustrations. She has letters from nearly all the kings, queens, emperors, princes, dukes, lords and royalties of tho old world, written under tho royal seal and expressing their highest appreciation of her wonderful en tertainments. The Duchess of Suther land gave iter a cluster of diamonds which must have cost several hundred dollars, while the Prince of Wales presented her with his photograph framed in a large solid gold frame. The King of Greece gave her a writing portfolio made of the finest kind of skin, decked with silver mountings, on which was engraved her name, date and donor. A Russian noble man gave her his photograph framed in solid gold, with his name engraved upon it ana his autograph written across the photograph from his own blood, this be ing the very highest possible respect from this high source. One of tho Rothschilds gave her £75 for an enter tainment in his palace, whilo a German prince gave her an elegantly set diamond bracelet, bearing his monogram and the royal crown. She has souvenirs from the Sultan of Turkey, the royal houses of Italy, Germany, France, Spain and Egypt. She gave entertainments in Damascus, Jerusalem and Alexandria, and her in dorsements in all of the papers of Europe show that she was lauded and praised by the highest families of the Old World. She certainly had tho swing of royalty ac cording to her credentials, which say she appeared by special command before the Emperor of Germany, the Emperor of Austria, the King of Italy,' the King of Greece, the King of Uoumania, the King of Belgium, the King of Sweden, the Czar of Russia, tho Sultan of Turkey, and other crowned heads: and gave special performances before the Oueen of Eng land and the Prince and Princess of Wales. “Doris,” the play Robert Drouet has written for Kffio Ellsler, will receive its initial performance here Friday evening, the first of Effie EUsler’s engagement. The play has been ono of the positive successes of tho season, meeting with tho greatest favor wherever produced, and EfHe Ellsler, an actress who can always be depended on to present whatever role in which she may appear in a consistent and intelligent mauner, has in “Doris” given theater-goers further evidence of her complete mastery of the ai t of acting, and surprised even her most friendly crit ics by the. power sue developed in the portrayal of a roio that would severely test the strength of ouo of larger, more rooust physique than is possessed by this talented and favorite actress. In the earlier scones of the play Doris is the young wife, who, having put aside her first great sorrow, is living in tho family of tho good old rector in the quiet English village, and whose only caro is the ehildren entrusted to her as village schoolmistress. I alter, when scandal, calumny und unjust suspiciou have made her a victim, she is a woman patient in suffering, self-sacrificing, yet determined in doing what she considers right. The character gives great scope to the actress, atat Effie Ellsler has demonstrated her ability to portray it in a manner to evoke tho warmest praise. The other charac ters of tho pluy are especiali.s well drawn, and form important factors in the devel opment of an intensely interesting plot. BAKING POWDER.
