The Steamer Carrie.

The steamer Carrie, which has been on
Jones' ways for some time undergoing re-
pairs, it is expected will be ready for bust
ness in about two weeks, when she will be
put on the lire between Savannah and Au-
gusta. It IS thought that she will be launch
ed on Wednesday and further repairs will
be completed while she is in the water.
New plates have been placed on her bottom
and the wood work Is nearly all entirely
new and much lighter than the wood previ-
OusIy used. Her cabin is spacious and the
passenger accommodations will be first class.
The engines OF the late steamer w. I. Whe-
less have been placed in her, and, as they
are nearly new, it is expected that her
speed will be greatly increased. Owing to
the lightness Of the material used In re-
building her, she will only draw two feet OF
water instead OF three, as formerly, and this
viii prove 8 decided advantage in navigat-
ing this river when the water is low.

A COIOred Man Desperately Cut In
Seven Places.

About three O'Clock yesterday afternoon
streets was the scene OF intense ex-
element, which occasioned the gather
ering of q very large crowd Of colored
people. A difficulty, from what cause could
not be ascertained at the time, occurred
between Thomas Baker and Aleck Williams,
colored, which resulted in Baker drawing
an ugly looking knife, similar to those used
by shoemakers in trimming leather, and
which had recently been well sharpened, and
making a fearful onslaught upon Williams.
That unfortunate individual was, 1t appears,
overpowered, and cut and carved by Baker
In the most savage manner. A frtghtful
cut was inflicted over the left eye, one on the
arm, and five stabs and cuts In various parts
of the body, and but for the interference Of
some of the crowd, and the cry of "police,"
1t is not improbable that Williams would
have been chopped into minee meat. Baker
fed, leaving his victim staggering around
with the blood squirting in streams from his
numerous wounds. The injured man was
conveyed to his home on Joachim street
and physician was sent for. Meanwhile
Policemen Kelly and Malone reached
the scene and at once struck
the trail of the fugitive would-be-slayer.

through and into another, and so on half
the block, giving the policemen
lively hunt, and was finally
freed to house in Indian
street, in front of which a large crowd
collected. Policeman Kelly went into
the house, and proceeding to the upper
room, discovered Baker crouching under a
bed. He brought his little persuader to
bear upon the fellow and coaxed him out,
hn a
man who had followed, then crawled
under tho bed and secured
the knife, which Baker had thrown away.
| The blade was covered with blood and was
taken possession of and carried to the bar
racks as silent witness. Williams iniu-
ries are considered to be quite serious, and
may result fatally, as he is horribly cut up.

Death OF a venerable savannahian.

In our telegraphie columns yesterday ap-
peared brief dispatch from Mobile, Ala,
announcing the death Of Hon. John A.
Cuthbert, at the advanced age Of ninety five
years. Judge Cuthbert was born near Sa-
vsnnah in 17s6, and died at his residence on
Mon Louis Island, on Thursday, the 22d
he was the first Captain OF the Republican
Blues, Of this city, which was organized in
1905 mainly through his efforts, and com
manded that corps for a number Of years.
He Was q lawyer by profession, and In
1919 was elected member Of Congress
from Georgia. and served for two
wears. In 1910 he removed to Mobile,
Alabama, and in 1912 was elected Judge Of
the County Court of Mobile, and Judge Of
the Circuit Court of the Sixth Circuit Of
Alabama In 1852, which position he held for a
number Of years. At the time Of bis death
he was the Oldest eX- member of Congress In
the United States. Sixteen years ago, when
the writer first met Judge Cuthbert, who
was then almost an OctOgenarisn, he was In
the full possession OF his faculties. and
was q genial, sOclable gentleman, manifest
ing the liveliest interest in public sff airs.
He was q connecting link between his
toric present and s historic past, having
been born in the year that witnessed the
framing Of the Constitution, and having died
IN the year Of the assassination
for the second time, of the Chief Magistrate
Of the country. As he removed from Sa-
Vannah nearly half century ago, but few
of our present citizens will remember him
save By reputation. He was buried on
SATURDAY. morning last In the family burying
ground on Mon Louis Island

Mr.. Walter F. McCune, Of PittsbuFg, Pa,
writes: "My age is % years. I was born

The s,,ua,ton-Labor Resumed.

The labor troubles, it seems, are about
ended, the Disconnected realizing the fact
that nothing could be accomplished by an
attempt to provoke disorder and disturb
anee in the community, and that their
petition for an advance would receive
greater consideration by being quietly
and properly submitted, and the issue
patiently awaited. The situation yester-
day was entirely serene, and there was no
manifestation of any desire to make further
trouble. Quite a number OF those who had
engaged In the strike returned to work,
and there is reason to belive that but
for the memorial observauces yesterday
there would have been found many more at
honest labor. The work at the Central
Railroad wharves was progressing very sat-
isfactorily yesterday, and In few days the
inconvenience and delay that has been oc-
casioned will be surmounted and things will
be moving on quietly and smoothly.

The Result Of a Game Of Cards.

Yesterday afternoon E. Brudder and Peter
Richards, strangers in the city, met in a
saloon on Bryan street, and, after taking a
social drink, concluded to try little game
OF poker to pass away the time, and, to
amake the game interesting" to put up a
few ducats. Several games were played, and
Richards rakedin ''the pot" every time to the
intense disgust of Brudder, who was out
ragged at his bad luck. After taking an
other drink the parties concluded
to change base, and meandered down
BRYAN street to Jefferson, where
they entered another saloon, and Of
course had to lubricste again. Thinking,
perhaps, that luck had changed, the little
game of poker was renewed, but Richards
again raked In the money. Both parties
were by this time in a condition to
quarrel, and hard words were passed.
The saloon keeper ordered them out,
when Brudder commenced abusing him.
Richards, who had his two sons with him,
Young men, was indignant with Brudder,
and taking offense at some words Of
Brudder, drew a pistol and in
timated he was ready for a circus.
As soon as Richards drew his pistol
his sons levanted. probably not wishing to
be witnesses of the tragedy which seemed
imminent. A scuffle ensued between Rich
ards and Brudder, which was interrupted
by Policeman I. Jones, who was called in
at the request Of the saloon keeper and ar
rested both parties, who were carried to the
barracks. The affair will be thoroughly In
vestigated at the Police Court sceance this
morning.

Creating a Riot and Threatening to
shoot.

Yesterday morning about IL O'Clock
Bradley Langs, a colored drayman in the
employ Of Mr.. Walsh, wanted to join the
demonstrations of the day, and refused to
90 to work unless he got a heavy increase.
This was not granted, and col
ored man by the name Of Jake Haz-
gard, who had been here q short time,
was found, who consented to drive the
dray, and started out. Langs heard of it,
fastened to the place, threatened to kill
Jake II be dared to drive his dray, and
drew his pistol, which he fourished
around ferociously. A large crowd
was soon collected, and Jake, becom-
ing frightened and unwilling to
run the hazard Of having his corpus per-
forsted, jumped from the dray aud skipped
away. Jim Parker, sn old drayman, who is
In the employ Of Mr. Walsh, and who, 1t
seems, had also knocked OF work, spraag
on the dray and attempted to drive It into
the yard Of the Arkwright Cotton Factory.
This brought on conflict with
Lsngs, and lively fight
occurred, which increased the excitement.
Policeman Allen Jones reached the scene
shortly. and after some difficulty captured
both parties and marched them to the bar
racks. 1t appears that before Jake fed
from his draw, negro by the name OF Sam
Williams was cursiDg and growing about
generally, and threatened to dress Jake
down with drsy whip, which he had In bis
hand. This intention was frustrated BY the
flight Of Jake, and soon afterwards sam
found himself in the clutches of police
man, taking q walk to the barracks.
The proceedings Of these parties will be
fully investigated to day at the Police Court
matinee.
