The Eclipse on saturday Night.

The eclipse OF the moon on Saturday
night was the most interesting astrOnomi-
cal event that has occurred in this section
in years The exact time of the eclipse was
predicted, and many of cur citizens felt
Nufficient interest to remain up in order to
see it, and those who did so were well re-
paid, as the sight was certainly grand Gnd
sublime. At half-past eleven o'clock
the beautiful full moon was beam
ing brightly, and the entire
city was bathed in q soft light, rendering
every object almost as distinct as in day.
Precisely at ten minutes to twelve O'Clock,
the exact time announced, faint shadow
began to show upon the outer edge OF the
moon, and gradually, almost perceptibly. 1t
increased by inches. The brightness of the
Goddess of the Night began to grow dim,
and darkness slowly to settle upon the
earth. The stars, whose brilliancY had pre-
viously been obscured by the brightness of
the moon, were discernible as the
darkness increased, and spangled
the heavens. In about an hour
and half the moon was IN total eclipse,
aud through strong field glasses presented
the appearance of a large ball, whose red
or dim color was similar to that of an ember
dying out. Directly beneath the moon, and
almost on its lower edge, was plainly seen
a bright star, the existence Of which to the
ordinary observer of the heavens was IN
known previously. After passing com
pletely under the shadow, remaining OBJ
scure for some time, gradually the
moon again showed small portion OF her
face, and by four o'clock had reappeared
in all her majesty, and was shining as
brightly and lovely as before the eclipse.
Those who missed the phenomenon failed
to see a most beautiful spectacle, and will
not have an opportunity to witness 1t again
before June 81, 1899.

AidtnenPrIsoner to Escape.

About quarter-past eight o'clock Saturday
night Policeman Dufour carried to the bar
racks cOlored individual named Walter
Bush. It appears that Walter felt out
ragged at seeing colOred brother, Sidney
Clark, who had been guilty of some offence,
elsewhere mentioned, deprived of his liberty,
and theleupOn aided him to escape from
the officer, and concealed the fellow under
the counter In his barroOm. This is a
rather serious charge, and Walter will re-
ceive a lesson to-day which may learn him
something.

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after five
O'Clock, a regular battle took place among
a large crowd of colored men who were as.
semhled near the new bridge, short dis
lance east of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway wharves. What started
the row we were unable to learn, but the
difficulty was general and the whole crowd
engaged in the fight, which is described as
being exceedingly lively and savage.
There were numerous knock downs,
bruised optics and cut noses, and
the scrimmage continued until all hands
had enough. The scene being outside the
city limits the combatants anticipated no
interference from the police, and enjoyed
the gouging to their hearts content. Some
physicians doubtless reaped small harvest
Of ducats from repairing damages.

A Youth Drowned While Bathing In
the River

We regret to chronicle a sad accident
which occurred Saturday afternoon, about
five o'clock, on the river. A number of
boys were swimming in the river, near
Bradley's old saw mill, when one of them,
James Prindible, who was hanging on to
log, which had drifted out some distance,
suddenly lost his grip and sank beneath
the surface Of the water. 1t is not known
whether the unfortunate youth could swim
or not; he apparently made no effort
to save himself, or he was greatly
frightened and was unable to help himself.
He was not seen after he sank. Immediately
after the accident divers were employed to
search for the body, and about twelve
O'Clock it was found some fifty feet from
where the unfortunate youth went down.
Young Prindible was about fourteen years
of age, was very promising youth, and was
the son of Policeman Prindible. His funeral
will take place from the residence OF his
father, corner of Price and Bryan streets,
at ten O'Clock this morning.

A Mammoth COIOred Excursion 10
khenPZer.

The First Bryan Street Baptist Church had
an excursion yesterday morning to Ebene-
ger, where social meeting was had. The
steamer Carrie was engaged, and was
crowded to her fullest capacity. Hundreds
came down to the wharf who were I'M
able to get aboard, and the crowd was
SO great on the steamer that the officers
compelled some forty or fifty to
return to shore before they would
consent to start, as they considered it I'M
safe. OF course the ones left behind were
disappointed, but could not find fault with
the action of the officers. IL was truly
mammoth affair. They returned Yesterday
afternoon, land 1t was reported they all had
good time land the excursionists were very or
DERBY and well behaved, nothing IN
pleasant occurring on the trip. A goodly
sum was realized for the church.

Yesterday afternoon about five o'clock a
large crowd OF boys assembled in the east
ern portion of the city near Arnold street,
and engaged in game of base ball. The
sport of course drew large crowd of spec
tators to the scene, and the attention of a
policeman was attracted. The guardian of
the peace and preserver of ordinances
swooped down upon the players, and
such stampede has rarely been
seen. 1t was a regular Bull Run affair.
The club were thoroughly demoralized, and
the pitchers, catchers and bases skedaddled
In every direction, making excellent time,
and succeeding in eluding arrest, but leav-
ing on the field several bats. The specta-
tors were as much amused at the retreat as
they were with the game before the knight
of the club aud star hove in sight.

A Little Child Lured Off and De-
sDOIIed of Her FInerY.

A few afternoons since the little daugh-
ter of citizen living in the southern por-
ton of the city was playing In front of her
fathers house when she was approached by
two young girls fourteen or fifteen years of
age, who told her they had been sent by her
mamma to take her to walk. The little in
nocent wanted first to go and see her ma,
but the girls kindly told her 1t was all right,
and prevailed on her to go with them. The
child in trusting confidence gave her
hand to one of the girls and was taken
down the street towards the Bay. They
then carried her under the bluff, where
they stopped out of view of people on the
street, and under the pretense of fixing the
little ones hat, removed all the innings,
took the sash from around her waist and
some little ornaments from her person. They
then carried her back to the house and left
her. The girls, the child stated, were
neatly dressed and she thought they were
children in the neighborhood.
