A Man Run Over on the Georgia
Railroad.
A man named Martin McGowan was
run over by a passing train sometime
during Monday night, on the Georgia
Railroad, about one mile this side of
Dearing Station. The man was said to
have been intoxicated prevbusly, and
probably fell or laid across the rail,
when a train passed over him, cutting
him in two. When found, the body was
lying outside the track, aud the feet
and legs between the rails. He wa%
horribly mangled.
The remains were taken charge
of by persons in the vicinity. It
is not known at what hour the acci
dent occurred, as several trains passed
up and down during the night, and he
was not found until early yesterday
morning, when it was apparent that
more than one train had passed after
he was run over.
McGowan was about forty years old,
and without a family. It is said he
formerly worked iu this city in differ
ent places, but latterly has been work
ing near Dearing.

Death of Mr. Wm. Shepherd.—
Charleston has lost another upright
and enterprising citizen in the death of
Mr. Wm. Shepherd, which occurred at
the residence of Henry S. Griggs, Esq.,
Meeting street, yesterday afternoon.
The deceased came from the North
many years ago, and was for a long
time in the confidential service of the
late T. A. P. Horton, whose partner he
became. For several years he has
conducted*in Hayne street, a whole
sale tinware and stove business, with
which he was thoroughly familiar from
extended experience. His integrity was
unbending, and in all his relations with
liis fellow men he was scrupulously
just and exact. Beneath his somewhat
ascetic exterior was a warm heart,
which his personal friends knew how
to appreciate. He had a native love of
culture, and, when occasions required,
he could show to advantage how he
had spent his years aud enriched his
mind, which was always clear and com
prehensive in treating questions in
which he interested himself.

Contrary to general expectation,

Monday, quite a heavy rain fell yes

In the list of ten members of the

omitted unintentionally.

Savannah glories in a man who found
a SIOO bill in the post office lobby and
returned it to the loser. Such is the
power of advertising.
In Savannah, Monday, during the
drill of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
in Court House square, a negro who
gave his name as Jeff Thomas, from
Augusta, was watched and detected
picking a gentleman’s pocket of his
watch. He was arrested by Sheriff
Ronan.
The Savannah News’ Local, after giv
ing a two and a half column account
of the celebration of Washington’s
birthday, also put in fifteen or twenty
“ laconics ” referring to the occasion.
He had two serenades, which may ac
count for his exhuberant spirits. The
Advei'liser man consoled himself with
about a five column account, and clos
ed with a serenade.
The Albany Neivs says Col. B. G.
Lockett has attached the entire Bruns
wick and Albany Road, in his mam
moth suit for $750,000 for an alleged
violation of contract. There will not
be, however, any interference with the
present management of the road.
The Hon. Patrick O’Hair, of the Illi
nois Legislature, has introduced a
bill which provides that auy person
asking another to partake of an intoxi
cating drink shall be fined not less
than S2O nor more than SIOO.
He should have tested the sense of
the Legislature by making it a felony
to sell liquor within three miles of the
State House and Lunatic Asylum.
Col. Henry Grady complains that
Col. H. H. Jones, of the Telegraph and
Messenger , hit bim “below the belt.”
Col. Jones denies the soft impeach
ment, talks about “aiming high and at
close quarters,” and then declares he
was joking all the time.
The Telegraph andMessenger remon
strates with the Fall River, (Mass.) stri
kers. We may expect a revival of the
milling business, so soon as the Macon
paper reaches the disaffected cotton
operatives.
Atlanta and Savannah are agitating
the question of new gas companies.
The Herald office used to pay from S9O
to $l3O per month for gas, but, for one
year has been expending only $lB per
month for kerosene. The Savannah
Advertiser says:
When we pass along the streets and
see stores lit with oil lamps, it looks
like the price of gas was too high.
When consumers are willing to take
the risk and trouble of inflammable
oils, in place of safe and convenient
gas, there must be something to be
corrected. The Savannah Gas Light
Company should not, as a matter of
policy, drive consumers to the use of
other expedients for light, as it will be
a sure precursor of the success of an
opposition company.
We are not advised of the parties in
terested in the “ Mutual bill above
referred to, but if they push the mat
ter with any energy we will soon
have cheaper if not better gas than is
now furnished U3.
The New York World thus concludes
au article on Civil Rights:
The avowed object of the admirably
devised Civil Rights bill is to prevent
invidious class discrimination, and if
Sambo and Dinah are to be secured in
the enjoyment of all the social prero
gatives of abstract manhood and wo
manhood, we see no reason for with
holding equal legal protection from
Patrick and Hans and Mile. Phryne.
We did not expect the World to clas
sify Irishmen and Germans with dirty
men and women. That kind of black
guardism ought to be left to Harper’s
Weekly, and other “ journals of civiliza
tion.”

Shooting Affray.—A considerable
stir was created in the neighborhood of
the Court House about half-past one
o’clock yesterday afternoon by an af
fray, in which Solicitor C. W. Buttz
was shot in two places by Detective
Wm. Hord, colored. Hord, it seems,
had threatened Capt. Hendricks in
King street on Saturday night, and the
latter yesterday morning obtained a
warrant for Hord’s arrest from Jus
tice Levy, who allowed the accused a
few hours in which to obtain SI,OOO
bail. During this interval Hord, who
was somewhat under the influence of
liquor, approached Buttz, according to
some accounts, importuning him to be
come his security. Whatever passed be
tween them, Buttz gave him no encour
agement, and walked off into the court in
the rear of the Courthouse. He had
not been there many minutes when
Hord again came up, and drawing out
his pistol fired squarely at Buttz, the
ball passing through the left lappel of
the coat, through the coat, waistcoat
and underclothing, and inflicting a
slight wound on the left breast, just
below the collar-bone. Buttz then turn
ed, and Hord fired again, the ball this
time taking effect in the Solicitor’s left
hip, and causing a slight flest wound.
Hord fired two other shots, both of
which missed their aim, and before he
could fire the fifth he was hurled to
the ground by bystanders aud secured.
The pistol was a Colt’s army five
shooter. Hord was immediately ar
rested and sent to jail.

NEW' YORK.
Special to the Herald Regarding the
Georgia Treasury. The Billiard
Championship.
New York, February 23. — The Herald
has an ugly special to the effect that,
the Georgia State Treasury is a million
dollars short. Treasurer Jones report
ed over a million dollars in the Trers
ury when only one hundred and fifty
thousand was found. An investigation
shows that at least one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in bonds have
been paid twice. Treasurer Jones
says Henry Clews, who was tho State
agent, never gave him a statement of
disbursements. If Clews paid the bonds
without cancelling them and put them
on the market again, the Treasurer
had no means of knowing it. The
whole State regards Jones perfectly
honest. His bond is two hundred thou
sand dollars.
The billiard match for $2,000 and
the championship of the world, three
balls, was won by Maurice, (Veguaux),
Rudolph scoring 556.

CONSUMPTIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a euro for consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by tho employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Sehenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By tho timely use of these medi
cines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck
certifies that most any case of .Consumption
may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters
for advice must be addressed.

THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of tho respectable and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal. If not superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid or tho eiormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our 0. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
