RelI In a Fit.

Saturday afternoon, about hslf-past six
O'Clock, an old colored man by the name
of Henry Thomasson, but who is Familiarity
known as Eapoleon Bonaparte, whilst pass
ing through johnson square, was seen to
suddenly stagger and fall to the ground.
Several gentlemen, among whom was a
physician, were standing near by, and the
latter, noticing the appearance Of the man
and perceiving that he was about to fall,
grabbed him in time to prevent his striking
the pavement.
Attention was then given him, and in a
short time he recovered sufficiently to
permit his removal to a street wagon, when
he was conveyed to his home on New Hous-
ton street lane, near Whitaker. Napoleon is a
carpenter in the employ of Mr.. z. L. Segur,
and is subject TO epileptic fits. About half
an hour previous he mentioned to one of
the workman that he felt the ''spell"
coming on. The incident created some ex-
element in the vicinity, as 1t was thought
the man had fallen dead, and quite a crowd
soon gathered.

A ScaaoIding knocked Down.

Saturday morning, about half-past eight
o'clock, the scaffolding which has been
erected near the excavations on the north
side Of Bay street, between Bull and Whita-
ker, necessary in the improvements in pro-
gress by Messrs. Wilcox & Gibbs, was sud
denly leveled to the ground, creating
momentary excitement. A truck, heavily
laden, was driven over to the north side of
the Bay, nearly opposite the store of Mr.. G.
Z Stuits, when the team became fractions
and commenced backing. The wheels
of the truck struck the scaffolding,
tearing down several posts and leyeling the
structure from one extremity to the other.

narrowly escaped being severely injured by
the falling plaDks. The team whose frac-
tiousness caused the demolition were unin-
iured. The scaffold was reconstructed

8n MemorIam.

SIBLEY.-Departed this life, in Meriwether
county, Ga, on the 18th day of July, 1884, Mrs
RosANNA SHELLEY, wife of Mr.. Aaron Sibley,
aged ~ years months and II days.
The deceased was a native of Savannah; she
was dedicated to God in holy baptism in infan-
cy, and was confirmed as a communicate in
the Evangelical Lutheran Church by the Rev.
stephen A. Mealy of precious memory, and
she spent more than half a century in the COM
munion of the church in which she commenced
and ended her most exemplary Christian life.
Mr.. and Mrs Sibley had lived to within seven
teen days of their golden wedding when
death separated them. Five of their children
remain on earth to cherish the memory and to
mourn the departure of the sainted mother
and five OF them preceded her into the spirit
world.
An intelligent person. who was most init
mately acquainted with Mrs. S for many years,
remarked TO the writer of this tribute: IF her
life and character were truthfully portrayed,
strangers would regard the biography as ex-
aggerated fattery. Whilst those who knew
her best feel and know that it is diff ult to do
justice to Christian character so perfectly
developed and so steadily maintained as was
he's -
In all the relations of wife, mother. church
member, heighbor and friend she did honor to
her humanity and to her religious profession
Thoue separated for a long season from the
church of her fathers and of her choice, she
chung with unwavering tenacity to the Biblical
confession OF the old mother of Professionals
and of all Professionalism. Her death was in
logical harmony with her pious and consistent
life-peaceful and full of the hope of a glori-
Gus Immortality
To her children and children's children the
inheritance of such precious Christian ex-
ample imparts distinguished honor, and i'm
poses sacred responsibility.
THE memory Of the just is blessed and
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death
of His saint"

About half past eleven the clouds cleared

the storm burst forth in great fury, accom-

PITALITY.3
A Manly Letter From a Northern
Visitor.

Underthe caption CT the first line in this
article, the Chicago FSeld, one II the lead
ing sporting papers in the North, we find
the following from Mr.. E. J. Cotton, who
was in Savannah last winter. The letter is
dated Augusta. and will be read with con-
siderable interest.
= = "Having spent my second winter in
the South, am tempted to give you sy--
nopsis of the country, sportsmen and peo-
pie in general.
'sI had long talk with Mr.. -, of this
place, who is a gentleman In every way and
an Al sportsman. He informs me that they
have near this city almost every variety of
game birds and water fowl an ordinary
shot brought in q large number OF snipes
killed and bagged within three miles OF
town in about three hours. There are thou
sands Of rice bird here, the same OF mallsrd,
green and blue winged teals, and quahs.
The Brant geese are found here In very large
numbers, even within one aud q half miles
from the city The bUffied headed duck,
black duck, canvas back duck and wood
duck are also found near here in large quar-.
tries. Ny informant is a member OF a
proIafueut firm of stock brokers in Augusta
and he says he would take pleasure in join
ing a company Of Northern sportsmen and
shooting.
"Let me say here, for the information Of
sportsmen North who have never been
South. that they win receive more hospitali-
u and genuine freedom, With 2 courteous,
open-hearted hand from the Southern geo.
pie than their most sanguine hopes have an
ticiDated.
81 arr, as you know, New Yorker; |
have travelled through every State east OF
Colorado: visited almost every city In the
Union. The past two winters have spent
sOuth--in Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Alabama, Georgia and Florida-and can
truly say there Is no part Of the United
States where / have found such liberal, so
cial. hospitable ladies' and gentlemen as in
the South.
"Any one who is prejudiced against the
South on account OF political feeling, eli
mate, ETC., should avail themselves of the
frat opportunity to take trip South, and
the longer ths- remain here the better they
will like It, and / VII guarantee that their
preiudices will be numbered with the things
Of the past.
~ ct those who come throw themselves
in the way CT the citizens, and it will prove
to them the true spirit Of Southern hospi-
talitv."

Omcers and Crew of the Centennial
In The City.

In the MORNING NEWS Saturday mention
was made of the burning of the steamer
Centennial in st. Andrews Sound, near
Brunswick. on Thursday morning. The
steamer City of Bridgeton, which arrived
here Saturday, brought up the officers and
crew OF the Centennial, who were taken on
board at st. SImon's Island, whittier they
had been carried by the steamer
Ruby from Brunswick. We learn from the
officers that the fire was discovered on the
steamer between three and four O'Clock on
Friday morning, whilst she was lying at
CIark's Bluff, on the satilla river. Efforts
were made TO extinguish the flames, but to
no avail, and they were compelled to aban-
don her. She is a total wreck. There was
very little freight on her at the time and the
loss from this source is comparatively
trifing. The officers and crew desire TO
return thanks to Capt Fitzgerald, of the
Bridgeton, for his kindness and courtesy.
