Before the Footlights. Everybody knows C. B. Bishop, the big, jolly comedian, who makes all laugh who see him. He produced the “Widow Be dott” last night, supported by a good com pany. The play was witnessed by a very fair audience, notwithstanding the inclem ent weather. The olio of new and popular songs and dances as rendered by Miss Ken yon Tilton and Master Rener, was very amusing and stamped these two new acces sions to the company as favorites with the audience. To-night will be presented a ' Case of Wine” by the author of a “Bunch of Keys.” This will be its first presentation in Savannah. Mr. Bishop will interpret the role of “Elijah Cassard.” At the mati nee to-morrow afternoon the “ Widow Be dott” will again be presented. The Drummer's Ball. The Drummer’s ball at Masonic Temple last evening was one of the most enjoyable social events of the season. The arrange ments were of a character reflecting high credit upon the committee. The hall was filled with merry couples, good music was provided, and the scene during the dancing was a brilliant oue. The “Drummer’s \ Waltzes,” the new composition of Mr. Ben * J. Appel, of which mention was lately mad e in the Times, was played and was pro nounced by the devotees of Terpsichore, per fectly delightful. A splendid supper was enjoyed abSut midnight in the upper rooms, after which the hall was again sought and the festivities prolonged until a late hour. The ball was one of which the Drummers have cause to feel proud. A New Locomotive. Mr. Richard Hartley, of the Rogers Locomotive Works, of Paterson, N. J., ar rived in the city on Sunday, and has been busy putting up another fine and powerful locomotive engine, to be used by the Savan nah, Florida and Western Railway.

An other of this class will be received in the next ten days and put on the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, and ten more 1 of a different class will follow from the same works shortly. This engine has four drivers, ; GII inches in diameter, and 16 by 24 inch j stroke, Westinghouse driving wheel, air brake and a capacity for carrying 3,300 gal lons of water, a supply sufficient to run 150 miles on a stretch.

Philput, one . of Savannah’s most worthy and popular , young business men, of the firm of Messrs. John Sullivan & Co, insurance agents, which ’ occurred at his residence on South Broad , street near Abercorn, early this morning. Mr. Philput was taken sick about two weeks ago, and his illness, which was not then regarded serious, developed alarming symptoms within the past few days, and his recovery was despaired of. There was very general regret > expressed to-day, upon the sad announce , ment, as the deceased had hosts of friends in the community and was very highly es teemed. i The deceased was a native of Montgom ■ ery, Ala., and married Miss Weeks, daugh 1 ther of J. W. Weeks, Esq , of Talbotton, ; Ga. He came to Savannah in 1.67, and i accepted the position of cashier and book -1 keeper in the office of the Savannah and s Augusta steamboat line, which he retained ■ until the transfer of the steamers to the ■ Chattahoochee river. He then entered into ■ copartnership with the late Wm. C. Cosens, Esq., in the insurance business, and upon the dissolution of that firm formed a co partnership with John Sullivan, Esq., in- > surance agent, under the firm name of John Sullivan & Co. Mr. Philput was at ■ one time Third Sergei.nt in the Savannah Cadets,and was a very z alous and efficient ’ member, highly esteemed by his comrades, ■ and carried off the honors in one of the , prize contests of that company. He after wards resigned h : s position, but continued his connection with the company. Subse- ' quently he joined the Georgia Hussars, and i was Quartermaster Sergeant of the company. Mr. Philput was an exceedingly popular , gentleman, and in whatever he took par. was the moving spirit, full of vim and ■ energy. He was a consistent member of St. : John’s Episcopal Church, and was in every respect a good citizen, a worthy, upright, honorable gentleman; genial by nature, chivalric and generous, and one whose loss will be greatly felt in this community. He 1 was in the prime of life, having recently passed his thirty-sixth year. Hjs funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock, from St. John’s Church, and will be attended by the Georgia Hussars and Savannah Cadets. To his deeply bereaved wife, the ten dered sympathies of his many warm friends are extended in this sad hour of trial. A Prominent Farmer Writes.
