Deserved Punishment.

1t will be remembered that few days
since we recorded the exploits Of John
Andrews, negro, on board the steamer
returning from Beaufort with a col
ored excursion party. John is the
individual who several months
ago was on trial for killing Alfred shellman,
colored, but who was acquitted by petit
Jury In the Superior Court. 1t would seem,
however, that he is a bad man, and not
withstanding the narrow escape from the
gallows or the peDi eltiary, he
went on board the excursion s'eamer ,primed
himself on mean whisky, and INDUCED his
belligerent propensities to their full bent.
He was arraigned In the City Court yester-
day afternoon to answer three charges of
assault and battery, and was convicted
In each. the evidence being Conclusive.
The Judge fined him twenty five dollars or
thirty days In each case, with costs, and
being minus the requisite cash, John will
be enlisted for ninety days in the CuYler
swamp brigade and be made to do good
service. His punishment under the circum-
stances Is deserved.

Can't he wiped out.

The Columbus Time, referring to the con-
tradiction in the Savannah MORNING NEWS
of the statement made by Colonel Elliott, as
spokesman of delegation from Beaufort,
:. c., to the President, that the duties col
lected at Beaufort amounted to more than
those collected at Savannah and Charleston
combined says;
"The NEws shows that the duties collect
ed at Savannah alone are over three times
as much as the amount collected at Beau
fort, and that the Beaufort receipts would
be exceeded nearly as much by those of
Charleston SIS they are by those of Savan
nah. We thought when we saw these
statements attributed to the Beaufort dele
CATION that they had been misunderstood,
for we had no idea that it was correct.
Beaufort is a very nice little town, and in
the age of rice growing Ia South Carolina
It was thrifty town, and may possibly be
so still, but it must not expect to wipe
Savannah off the map of the Atlantic coast.

SERIOUS AFFRAY IN BRYAN.
One Negro Killed and Another Se-
rIOusIy wounded.

We learn from parties who arrived here
yesterday morning that very serious affray
occurred last Saturday night at Ellis store,
Bryan county, about six miles from
Kings bridge and some ten
miles from No. 2 on the Central
Railroad. A large crowd of negroes were
gathered about the store, who had been
drinking and carousing during the
evening, and as usual in such as
semblages, a dispute arose, which
resulted in a savage quarrel between
several Of the negroes. Knives and other
weapons were drawn, and one of the ne
groes, in the parlance of the crowd, just
turned himself loose,n and cut and slash
ed around Unfortunately with an ugly
looking knife. One Of the negroes received
cut in the abdomen, which
produced death in a few minutes,
and another was very severely and danger
ously wounded. The negro who did the
cutting managed to escape, and had not
been arrested up to last accounts, although
a constable armed with a warrant was on
his track. Our informant did not ascertain
the names of any of the parties engaged In
the fracas

PARADE OF Colored ODD FeIIorvs,

Yesterday afternoon Myrtle Lodge No.
1868, G. U. o. of o. F., accompanied by the
Savannah Volunteer Guards Band, made a
parade through the principal streets,
in honor of their sixth anniversary, and
presented a very creditable appearance.
There were visiting delegations from
Atlanta, Macon, Charleston and
Brunswick, all well dressed and
respectable looking colored men, and the
turn out was one of the best among the
colored population that has been seen in
some time. Last night the visitors were
entertained at a banquet given by Myrtle
Lodge at Mozart Hall, and to-day there will
be an excursion to Montgomery on the sa.
yannah, SkidawsY and Seaboard Railroad.
Previous to the banquet an Grafton was
delivered By James A. Sykes on Odd Fellow

a special meeting OF the Board OF County
Commissioners was held yesterday morning
at the court house, when the matter sub
mitted for their consideration at the regular
meeting on Wednesday last by Coroner
Sheftall was called up. The Coroner held
an inquest on the body of Portuguese sail
or. Joseph Benefance, who was injured BY
falling from the mast of 8 vessel at Doboy
and who was brought TO this city:
ON the way to the hospital
he died in street wagon.
The accident not having occurred in this
county the Coroner was of opinion that the
expense of the inquest should not be charg-
ed to the county aud he brought the matter
therefore TO the attention of the Commits
siouers. After consultation the Board
decided that the expense should be charged
to the vessel, and should be paid by the
captain or the Portuguese Consul.

A NEW HOTEL.
Preliminary Movement-Encourag-
Ing Prospects,

A meeting Of a number of prominent eiti-
gems and capitalists was held yesterday
morning at ~ o'clock, in the Mayors office,
at the Exchange, to consider the feasibility
of organizing a stock company for the pur
pose of building q new first class hotel
in this city. Among those present
were several well known enterptising
merchants and business men, and the pro
jeet was discussed with much favor. The
nous that q large, first class hotel,
with all the modern improvements,
was one of the greatest needs
Of Savannah, and that measures should
be taken to have such q building erect ed
and ready for the reception of guests st the
commencement of the next season. That

there scarcely seems to be
doubt, and another advantage
would be the retaining here Of large por-
ton Of the Northern travel. Hundreds OF
strangers, persons of large means, who have
been In Savannah during the winter and
spring, have expressed desire to remain
here provided they could obtain
such accommodations as they were willing
to pay for. There is no complaint with our
present hotels, but they have not the ac-

No definite action was taken at the

project was had, and the initial move having
been made, it is believed that the
plans for the organization OF a stock com

Lost Overboard and Drowned.

On the up trip of the steamer Carrie to Au-
gusta colored deck hand, when in the Vi
cinity of Hudson ferry, fell overheard and
was drowned. We are informed that he
was leaning against a fender at the time
and, losing his balance, pitched head fore
most into the river. The steamer was i'm
mediately stopped and the yawl boat low
cred, for the purpose of going to his
assistance. The man was a good swim
mer and managed to keep his head above
water for some time, but just as the yswl
boat approached him he was heard to
scream, and suddenly sank, and was not
again seen. On the down trip of the steamer,
when the locality was neared, the crew, who
were on the watch, discovered the body
Of the unfortunate man in the middle of the
river, resting on the branch of sunken
tree, turned upwards. The body was very
much decomposed, but was taken posses
sion of, wrapped In canvas, and carried to
the Carolina shore, where it was decently
inferred and foot and head board placed
at the grave to mark the place of burial.
