A Valuable Work.
Mr. E. F. Bryan, the clever superin
tendent of the Cotton Exchange, has just
had issued a very interesting ar d valuable
pamphlet, setting forth in a concise, com
prehensive and intelligent manner, the
various resources of this section and the ad
vantages it offers to those wishing to settle
here, and for the investment of capital. A
large edition of the work has been printed,
and it will be distributed at New Orleans.
Such a work can but prove beneficial to
Savannah, and Mr. Bryan is entitled to
great credit for the excellent manner in
which this has been done. The pamphlet
is dedicated to the officers and members of
the Savannah Cotton Exchange. The
typographic execution is worthy of
great praise, and reflects credit upon Mr.
George N. Nichols’ establishment, where it
was printed.

A Vicious Wild Cat Caught.
Mr. B. J Cubbedge, forwarding agent of
the Central Railroad, this morning brought
into the city an enormous wild cat, two
feet in length, from tip to tip, which he
caught in a still trap on his place at Oliver,
32 miles from the city. Mr. Cubbedge in
formed a Times reporter that this animal
has been for a long time depredating upon
his young lambs and pigs, having captured
and destroyed as many as 100 before he was
caught. The cat is a ferocious looking cus
tomer, bearing a striking resemblence to
his more fierce customer the tiger. When
found he was alive and showed fight, but
was quickly despatched, as no one cared to
engage with him in a battle. Quite a num
ber of people viewed his catsnip in the
corridor of the general office of the Central
Railroad this morning.

THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1885.
GETEEMEN’S DRIVING PARK.
Improvements of the Track—lnteresting <
Races in Prospect.
The work of putting the Gentlemen’s
Driving Park into first class condition goes ' 1
on unabated, and the perseverance of the
managers thereof cannot but reap the reward i s
of that goed quality—success. Ye-terday ! i
afternoon the indefatigable secretary of that |
association and a Times reporter took a| <
spin behind a rolling pair of inadsiers with ; j
the object of seeing the amount ■>( work done i
on the track since the last ra e, which
proved beyond a doubt that there is suffi
cient interest felt in such amusements to
warrant the belief that the undertaking
would prove a success. The laborers have
been busy with their carts hauling soil,
leveling the track and packing it with the
roller until now it is almost perfect, al
though the work will not be discontinued
until the day before ti e races Among
other improvements noted, is that an open
gateway has been made into the inclosure
encircled by the track, into which only
members of the association with the lady
members of their families have the right to
go during the races. Here the ladies will
be isolated from the bad language incident
to even the best conducted races, and
an officer of the law will be on hand to see
that no other class gain access to
this inclosure. Mr. Campbell has
been busy enlisting members
and now the association numbers about 100
among whom the names of many
of the best citizens of Savannah appear.
This, of itself, shows that at least some in
terest is felt in the pleasures of the turf.Tht re
are few gentlemen in the city owning fine j
stock, but are or intend to become members I
at an early date. The initiation fee is very
small as are the dues, and members have ad
mission to the park at all times, being al
lowed on the track and having access to the
refreshment room. Servants are always on
hand to attend horses and supply any wants ,
A series of races will take place !
on the 19th inst. The entries have
all been made and the horses entered have
a record of speed sufficient to make the race
interesting. The first race will be a sweep
stakes trotting race with three entries, for a
purse of $75; $65 for the winner, $lO for the
second. The second will be a running race
for $100; $75 to winner, S2B to second horse.
There are also three entries in this race. It
is probable that one or more exhibition i
races will also be given. A large crowd |
should attend and show that this praisewor- j
thy effort is appreciated.
THE NINETEENTH OF JANUARY.
A Pleasant Invitation from the Colonel of
the First Regiment to the Cadets.
Learning that the Cadets of the Georgia
Military Academy had been invited to par
ticipate in the demonstration on the 19th I
inst., a Times representative made inquiries!
into the matter and procured copies of
the following correspondence, which will be
read with interest:

A BRIG LIBELED
For Injuries Received by a Seaman.
Yesterday Mr. Isaac Becket filed a libel
against the Nova Scotian bark Darpa for the
following reasons: On the 26th of December
last, while at sea, Charles Bross, a seaman,
was ordered to go up aloft and oil the main
mast. The second mate rigged up a con
trivance to hoist him up, and, according to
the seaman’s statement, the vessel was short
of suitable ropes, and it was proposed to use
other material for that purpose. A piece
of sail canvass was procured and put into
use. It turned out to be rotten, however,
and when about twenty feet above deck, the
canvass rope broke, and the man fell to the
deck, breaking his arm, injuring his hip so
that he could not walk and battering up his
face badly. He was taken to the Hospital,
1 where he still lies, and it will be two months
I yet before he will be able to get about. The
’ libel is for $5,000 damages.
What is it makes George Edmonds so cool I
and placid, and how does he do such deep
th’nking? It is because be neverallows him- !
self to be harrassed with colds. He takes Dr. .
1 Bull’s Cough Syrup, he does.
RESULT OF A SPREE.
One Man Drowned and the Other
Mia sing.
This morning Coroner Wm. D. Dixon, j
held his first inquest on the body of Jas
McGarron, at the foot of West Broad
street. There were only two witnesses ex
amined. It seems from the evidence of
Mine O’Connor, that McGarron and An
drew Welsh, came to him at the Gibbon’s
place about five or six miles from Savannah
on the Savannah river, and asked him to
let them have the use of his boat, to go to
Murray Hill, to buy some provisions. They
were digging ditches at the Gibbon’s place.
They took the boat and left together, and
since that time they were never seen again,
except by some party who saw them re
turning with provisions on the night of the
20th of December, until yesterday, when
Michael O’Connor and Barney Small found
the body of McGarron in Back river and
brought it to the dock at the foot of West
Broad street last night. It was learned that
the boat in which the two men were last
seen was found in the river turned upside
down. The provisions which they purchased,
comisting of meat, meal, flour, etc, and a
bottle or whiskey, were also found in the
river by a Mr. King and carried to the
store of Mr. Nicholas Paulsen. Nothing h is
ever been seen or heard of the other party,
Welsh, and the supposition is that he too
was drowned.
A jury consisting of Andrew McGreal,
foreman, Cornelius Willingham, J. H. Pul-
I len, Wm. McGrimes, Frank Cullom and
Thornes Cioley, was empanelled, and as no
l evidence of foul plav could be found on his
I person, they returned a verdict to the effect
| that the deceased came to his death from
i accidentaly drowning. The body had been
in the water so long that it was very much
I decomposed. It was buried in Laurel Grove
j Cemetery. Search will be made for the
body of the other missing man. It is pre
' sumed that the two went to Murray Hill
1 and got their provisions and whiskay above
i mentioned, and, imbibing too freely, became
i intoxicated and capsized or fell out of the
! boat, thus finding a watery grave.
The Theatre—Raymond as a Politician.
The popularity of the well known come
dian, John T. Raymond, was evidenced last
night by the large and cultured audience
I which greeted his first appearance this
I season. “For Congress,” his new play, was
j placed on the boards in excellent style, and
i met a most favorable receptien. It is a poli
[ cal satire, fresh and sparkling, and can but
j be keenly appreciated by an American
audience. An outline of tne play has been
previously given, and it is unnecessary to
I repeat the details now. Raymond, as “Gen-
I eral Limber,” the boss politician, is im
mense, and kept the house in a roar of
laughter all the time he was on the stage.
He was well supported, and the play was
; given in a very satisfactory manner and was
' highly enjoyed.
