A Shooting Scrape.
A, difficulty occurred last night about
10 o clock, in the Opera House Arcade,
between two negroes, in which one of
them was shot in the right hand. The
bullet from the pistol of the aggressor
struck a ring on the finger of the other

The police were on the field of ac

A DISASTROUS TORNADO.
Camak Demolished—-Thomson In
jured by the Storm—A Number of
Persons Killed and Injured at
Both Places—The Course of the
Storm—lts Effects in Augusta.
Just after two o'clock yesterday
afternoon the rain poured down in tor
rents for about twenty minutes and
flooded the streets in almost every
direction. It was wonderful to see
what an amount of water fell in a rain
of such short duration.
Soon after the cessation of the rain
a report was rapidly spread on the
streets that the town of Thomson, on
the Georgia Railroad, 37 miles from
Augusta, had been visited by a tornado
and that there were many casualities.
Definite information was not received
until the arrival of the Georgia Rail
road train,’about 5:30 p. m., which was
nearly two hours behind time.
Upon the arrival of the train at that
hour, our reporter interviewed Con
ductor James Johnson, and obtained
the following information:
THE HURICANE
or tornado appeared to have struck
Camak about one o’clock p. m., twenty
minutes previous to the time which
the down day passenger train was due
at that station. The coming of the
tornado was anticipated by many per
sons who saw it approaching, but it
swooped so suddenly and with such
force upon the devoted village as to
prevent the inhabitants from escaping,
even if they had a place of refuge.*
Every house in the village was
demolished,
in a few minutes, including the depot,
the large hotel and several cars stand
ing on the railroad track. Not a house
was left standing, the tornado seeming
to sweep down everything in its course.
It had, like an eagle, swooped down on
Camak and laid waste the whole place.
It apparently -struck the ground about
a mile above Camak a few minutes
past one o’clock p. m.. coming from the
direction of Warrenton on the Macon
and Augusta Railroad. After leaving
Camak the hurricane seemed to have
taken a northerly course, then turned
to the east,
TOUCHING THOMSON,
about ten miles below, on the Georgia
Railroad. We did not learn the extent
of the damage at this place, further
than that some houses were blown
down and a number of persons were
killed.
THE CASUALTIES,
as far as we could learn yesterday eve
ning, were considerable. At Camak the
night watchman in the employ of the
Georgia Railroad at that point, named
Thomas Geesling, attempted to reach
a house near by to escape the storm,
but finding it impossible took refuge
under a freight ear standing on the
track, loaded with ten tons of guano.
When the tornado struck the ear it was
overturned by the force of the wind,
and the man beneath was crushed to
death by the great weight falling upon
him.
Edward Skinner, a fireman on the
road, was also injured, his skull and
one arm being broken by the falling of
the depot, in which he was standing at
the time. Another fireman, named
Albert Tunison, was buried beneath a
house at Camak, but fortunately crawl
ed out without being injured further
than receiving a few bruises.
At the time the train passed Camak
it was thought there were two negroes
buried beneath the ruins of the depot
building.
AT THOMSON
it was said that nine persons were
killed, the names as far as known be
ing noted as follows : John Stovall and
wife, Mr. Benson, three children of J.
E. Benton, and two negroes. The others
said to have been killed were not re
ported.
The train of the Georgia Railroad
made a most narrow escape by not
arriving in time to be caught in the
storm.
AUGUSTA
received a touch of the tornado, a
heavy rain falling here about two p.
in., which flooded the streets. There
was an unusual amount of water fell
at this time, although the heavy rain
continued but about twenty minutes.
In front of the Constitutionalist
office, the pavement, which is lower
than the street, was completely flooded
and the water poured in through the
gratings underneath the building. At the
corner of Ellis and Jackson streets
there appeared to be a regular flood,
and a portion of the brick floor of the
Post Office on the Ellis street side was
covered with water. This has never
occurred before since the Post Office
was removed to the Odd Fellows’
building.
A number of rats were drowned out
of the sewers and drains at this and
other points. The antics of some of
the rats when they ran out of their
holes were amusing, and attracted the
attention of many people who witness
ed the performance.
the second storm of rain.
About 4 p. m., another storm of rain,
accompanied with hail, as in the first
instance, occurred, and again flooded
the streets. On the South Commons
there appeared to be a perfect sheet of
water, while the streets in the city
were generally flooded. Many of the
plank crossings were washed up, and
on some of the streets, as well as on
the South Commons, boats could have
been navigated.
THF. STORM
seems to have prostrated the telegraph
wires and poles between Camak and
Thomson, which caused the regular
train of the Georgia Railroad to be de
layed, and also the Macon and Augusta
train, both of which found
OBSTRUCTIONS
on the track, caused by the storm
blowing down trees, telegraph poles,
&c., across the way. The M. &
A. R. R. train was compelled to stop at
Camak, where the road to Macon
branches from the Georgia Railroad,
as the Macon Road was obstructed.
The storm seems first to have
taken a northerly direction be
tween Camak and Thomson, and af
terward proceeded east. Then it
apparently ascended to the clouds
and passed south of Augusta, and
crossing the Central Railroad be
tween Allen’3 station and Waj nesboro.
It also struck the Port Royal Railroad
beyond the river, but did no damage
further than blowing down a number
of trees. *
in the city.
There was a general desire through
out the afternoon to learn the news.
From Mr. H. Bessant, at the Signal Of
fice, we learned that the highest ve
locity of wind yesterday was 36 miles
per hour, at 4:25 p. m., and the rain
fall between 2 and 5 p. m. was 2.25
inches.
At a late hour last night the indica
tion! were that we would have more
rain.
It is reported that a terrible storm
occured yesterday in the neighborhood
of Mr. John Briggs’ place up the Sa
savannah river. Also that three ne
groeswere killed Friday in consequence
of this rise. Mrs. Briggs, who was in
the house at the time, narrowly escaped
death when it was blown down. Other
houses in the neighborhood were blown
down, in one*, of which was Mr. Thur
mond, who was lying in bed sick. We
did not learn whether he was hurt or
not.
The damage to property in this
locality is apparently much greater
than was first reported. The locality
above mentioned is about 14 miles
above the city, in the neighborhood of
Reese’s store, in Edgefield county.
A special dispatch to the Constitu
tionalist from Thomson appears in
another column.
Death of Mr. John Jenkins.
Mr. John Jenkins died at his resi
dence in this city, Friday night, of con
sumption, at the age of 37 years. He
was well-known in the business circles
of Augusta as an enterprisiug man,
and a public spirited citizen. He served
in the Confederate army, being Orderly
Sergeant of Richmond Hussars, Cos. A.,
Cobb’s Ga. Legion.
For sometime previous to his death
lie was the Agent in this city of the
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad. He leaves a wife and five
children to mourn his early decease.
His funeral will take place at three
o’clock this afternoon, from the Bap
tist Church. It has been suggested
that all the members who served in
the army in the two companies of
Richmond Husssars, Co.’s A and 8., and
also all members of the regiment of
Cobb’s Ga. Legion, and members of
Hampton’s Brigade now in the city,
attend the funeral in a body, as a mark
of respect to the memory of their de
ceased comrade. With this view we have
been requested to state that all who
so desire to attend will meet at two
o’clock p. m., to-day, at the office of
Messrs. John M. Clark & Cos., No. 286
Broad street.

Derry’s History of the United States.
We have examined carefully the
work of Mr. Joseph T. Derry, of this
city, entitled a “ History of the United
States,” and designed as an introduc
tory text book for younger students.
Much was expected from Professor
Derry, whose accomplishments and
scholarship are household words in
Augusta ; but he has really surpassed
the expectations of his most sanguine
friends. The interrogatory form has
been adopted, very wisely we think,
and the matter of question and answer
is of the best quality and drawn from
the best sources. Such a book as this
should be in the hands of every South
ern youth, and we predict that, as its
distinguished merits become known, it
will be the recognized authority, of its
class, in all schools and colleges of this
section.
Prof. Derry deserves the gratitude of
his fellow countrymen for this labor of
love, and he should also reap a reward
from it commensurate with its excel
lence and usefulness. Too retiring and
modest himself to push this book into
general notice, that duty should de
volve upon the publishers, Messrs. J. B.
Lippincott & Cos., who have issued the
volume in the handsomest and most
durable style. The type and binding
are all that could be desired, and the
illustrations are exceedingly well de
signed and appropriate.
A Long Chase and Capture.
The party who stole Mr. J. H.
Fearey’s horse Wednesday night and
also broke into Mr. Schriver’s store,
about five miles from the city, was
captured Friday about a mile from
Saw Dust, on the Georgia Railroad,
after a long chase by Mr. John J. New
man, the constable -of the 119tli Dis
trict, who went with Mr. Shriver in
pursuit of him. The horse was loose near
Bel-Air the day before, but Mr. New
man with great perseverance followed
the trail unerringly and traced the
party from point to point, having be
come convinced that it was a negro
named Len Bacon. At the house of
the woman with whom this Bacon
the place of a Mr. Anthony,
near Saw Dusr, Mr. Newman here
found nearly all of the stolen goods,
and then went on and captured Bacon,
who was on a car about a mile and a
half distant. He first denied every
thing, but one of the stolen shirts was
found on him, when he told Mr. New
man that he was the man and ac
knowledged the robbery—though he
afterward denied it to Mr. Schriver.—
He appears to be an old offender.
Mr. Newman brought him to the
city, when he was committed to jail on
the charge of burglary, for trial in the
County Court Monday.
Mr. Newman deserves great credit for
the energy and tact displayed by him in
making this capture. He did not let
any obstacle keep him from persever
ing to the end. Every one who knows
of his activity in the performance of
his duty is prepared to comnibnd him.
A better constable probably cannot be
found in the State.

AN AIR VOYAGE.
Proposed Balloon Ascension from
Aug'ur'.a ' y “'ref, King.
Prof. S. A. King, the well known
aeronaut, has decided to make arrange
ments for a balloon ascension from this
city, to take place at an early day, in
his famous balloon “Nymph of the
Clouds.” In reply to a question of our
reporter yesterday, he stated that the
cost of an ascension would be about
S4OO. The balloon he now has here
has a capacity of 10,000 feet more than
the one he used in his former ascen
sion from Augusta a few years ago, re
quiring 25,000 feet of gas to inflate it,
which would make the proposed ascen
sion much more interesting and im
portant than the former one.
Prof. King, who is an intelligent and
reliable gentleman, is well known to
our citizens. He expects to be able
very soon to complete the prelimina
ries—obtaining the necessary amount
of funds, arranging for the gas, &c.
He has consulted with Mr. G. S. Hookey,
Superintendent of the Gas Works, re
garding the supply of gas needed, and
has been assured that the gas for the
inflation of the balloon may bo obtain
ed, if a moonlight night, when the city
lamps, are not lit, is chosen. The
amount of gas required, 25,000 feet, is
very large, but the gas company now
have increased facilities for supplying
it, which they did not have when the
other ascension was made, and there
by they will probably be enabled to
furnish the amount needed.
Prof. King has been in Augusta for
some time past engaged in transact
ing some necessary business in which
he was engaged. A year or two since,
the officers of the Signal Service were
speaking of getting him to make an
ascension for the purpose of taking
scientific observations, when he decid
ed that Augusta would be the best
point to ascend from—the season be
ing Winter—but it was afterward not
necessary to make the ascensions. The
Professor is a veteran aeronaut, having
made 176 actual ascensions, the first
being made in September of 1861, when
he was 22 years of age. By this it will
be seen that he is now in the prime of
manhood, and devoted to the cause of
making scientific developments by
means of aerial voyages. His balloons
are all made under his own super
vision.
In common with every one in the
city, we hope that he will be successful
in raising the amount necessary to
make the ascension. It would prove
of great benefit to Augusta in many
ways, besides gratifyiug the curiosity
of numbers of people who never wit
nessed such a sight, besides those who
desire to see it again.
Shad Fishing.
The high waters of late have pre
vented the catching of many shad in
the river this season, and as the rains
of the past two days apparently ex
tended up the county the river is again
rising. Augusta fishermen have caught
comparatively few shad, and the sea
son is pretty well advanced. There
were only about twenty-four caught
above the -bridges, opposite the city,
Friday, and only a very few yesterday.
The shad is highly appreciated by all
lovers of fish, and good prices are al- J
ways obtained. Besides those caught
here, there are large numbers brought
from other points, there being a
number of fishermen up the river es
pecially where many are caught, many
parties on both sides of the river mak
ing a speciality of the business, and
sending what they catch to this and
other markets, where they are sold to
regular dealers, in most cases, where
the fishermen do not care to carry
them around themselves for sale. The
average prices obtained at this time are
about 50 to 90 cents each for medium
sized buck shad, and 75 to 90 cents for
roe shad.
Many of the fishermen catch large
quantities—from 25 to 50 a day, and
in some cases 100. They are caught by
means of gill nets by some fishermen,
while others use both gill nets and
traps. The traps are generally used at
what is known as the falls, at the ca
nal locks, in the neighborhood of which
there are a number of fisheries, above
and below.
Fine Arts.
Passing down Broad street yester
day our attention was attracted by the
beautiful painting and chromos in the
wiudows of Mr. Geo. C. Oates (who by
the way has always something attrac
tive there) and was struck particularly
with the appeai’ance of some portraits
of persons who, from the style of their
costumes, must have been residents of
this city many years back, and on
Inquiry found them to be family por
traits of Capt. Beverly Turpin, brother
of the late Dr. Win, 11. Turpin, who
served in the war of 1812, and Mrs.
Sarah \\ ray, wife of the formerly well
known and talented citizen, Dr. Thos.
I. Wray, and Mrs. Howard. Both of
the latter were well known as charm
ing ladies some half a century
since- in this city, and there are
a good many here yet who re
member them well in their pjime. The
portraits of the above were very much
faded by age, torn and defaced in va
rious ways, having been painted more
than sixty years since, but have been
restored in such a splendid manner by
Mr. J. J. Browne, who is Mr. Oates’
head workman in that line, the frames
being all regilt, that you would think
they had just been painted and made,
except from the style of the frames
and costumes. It is well worth a visit
to Mr. Oates’ to look at fehem, where
they will remain for a few days.
A number of other old paintings,
owned by prominent citizens, not only
of Augusta but of South Carolina, have
been renovated by Mr. Browne in a
manner that gave more than satisfac
tion to those who owned them and
valued them very highly.

Easter is the day on which the re

The Passover is the festival of the
Jews in commemoration of their provi

their departure from Egypt, when the
destroying angel, who put to death the
first-born of the Egyptians passed over
the houses of the Hebrews, which had
been previously marked with the blood
of the paschal lamb. It is known as
the feast of unleaven bread. Exodus

Ghostly Visitors in Jail.
We publish this morning an accouut
of the ghost of a man who was hanged
in New Jersey making ghostly visits to
his old quarters in the jail.
Tho negro prisoners in the jail in
this city declare that the ghost of Ike
Hooper, who was lately hung in the
jail yard, returns at night, and they
have seen him walking about in the
building dressed in the clothes he had
on when he was hauged. Mr. Bridges,
the Jailor, says if it was necessary to
punish one of these prisoners—the
mere fact of putting him in- Hooper’s
cell would be sufficient. Hope Sturgis,
the negro charged with murder who
was brought from Thomson, Friday,
was assigned to this cell. He probably
did not know who its former occupant
was, but he will soon learn the fact.

These bonds were issued in 1863 to re

Goats as a Nuisance.
Mr. Editor : If I am correctly in
formed, a petition, signed by numer
ous citizens, will be presented at the
next meeting of Council, praying for
the adoption of an ordinance prohibit
ing goats and cows from running at
large inside the city limits.
Aside from what the complaints of
that petition may be, I wish to recite
an instance of tho nuisance of these
pests which comes under my daily ob
servation : On the corner of Taylor
and Elbert streets four or five fine elm
trees, of eleven years' grmvth, have
been skinned from the bottom up to
the height of five feet, all round, which
will cause them to die. Other resi
dents in the neighborhood have been
compelled to box their trees in to de
fend them from the same fate, which,
owing to their size and age, would not
require enclosing wero it not for these
pests. There is also one particular
goat, in the same locality, no t satisfied
with peeling the bark from the trees
in the street, who will measure his dis
tance, give one leap, and alight inside
the fence, and feast upon any ilower
bush or shrubbery that may come in
his way. The front yards (some of
them adorned with flowers) in the
above-mentioned neighborhood, have
greatly suffered recently from the de
predations of these nuisances. It is
also reported that the smaller goats,
or kids, have been destroying shrubbe
ry in the cemetery, near the gates.
It is hoped that at the next meeting
of Cduncil something will be done to
prevent the further destruction of this
species of our shade trees (and also
of shrubbery inside of yards) in neigh
borhoods where goats are owned and
turned out. Citizen.

Weighty.— Tho reasons for adding
marble dust, alum, starch, flour, &c.,
to baking powders, are to make them
weighty, and thus add to profit. It
would be well for house-keepers to
know that Dr. Price’s Cream Baking
Powder is free from these adulterants,
hence the purest and most economical.
As two teaspo6nfuls go as far as three
teaspoonfuls of the heavy kinds, and
as baking powders are used by tea
spoonfuls and not by weight, the sav
ing in this direction is no small item.

EDWARD BARRY &ICO.,
T3i-oacl Street. Augusta, Oa.
lIHE EVIDENCE presented in the statements or the respectable and Intelligent plant
. ors of tho surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to'be equals 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 of the enormous 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 volurni aous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted, to # Clay Soils.
Our Gr. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
