The arrivals on Saturday were something
unprecedented in the history of Northern
travel. The Screven and Pulaski Houses
had each four full pages Of their registers
covered, and were compelled to turn away
many people. The Marshall House was
filed up, as the genial clerk remarked,
"with the great and the noble Of
earth" and a number who arrived from
Florida late Saturday night were
compelled to return to the boat for
accommodation. The smaller hotels
and principal boarding houses were all
taxed to accommodate the strangers, and as
late as half-past twelve o'clock Saturday
night some Of the late arrivals were en-
countered on the streets with their satchels
and wraps, looking up places to which they
had been directed. The travel is from every
direction, and from all indications viii con-
tfnue probably for the next month or six
weeks. kilograms are daily being received
by the hotel propFietors asking to have
rooms reserved. Most of these strangers
are Florida bound, but remain in Savannah
a dav or two, and almost before they have
time 10 yacate their rooms new arrivals are
moved In. 1t is q regular harvest for the
hotel proprietors, who, with their clerks and
EVERYBODY else, are hard worked, but smiling
and happy, and the cry with them is, "Come
one. come all; wen make you as comfort
able as possible"

Mr.. George A. Hudson on Saturday sent to
this Office kerosene can and pistol taken
from his store after the fire which DESTROYED
his property. The can is half full of kero-
sene oil and the pistol is loaded, and are
produced by Mr.. Hudson as silent witnesses
that the fire could not have originated in
his establishment, as has been generally sup
posed.
The above paragraph, which appeared in
the Sunday Telegram yesterday, has elected
the following:
Editor Morning NSocs 1t seems to me
that the positive assertion of the Chief and
all the fremen, of Captain VIM. Hone,
Captain j. f. Torrant and Others, who were
first at the fire, that the fire did originate in
Mr.. Hudson's store, and no other place,
ought to be as convincing testimony as
those "silent witnesses" which Mr.. Hudson
brings forward as evidence that it did not,
Very respectfully yours,
ANDREW HANLRY.

SHOT IN his HOUSE.
Mystery surrounding an Assasslna-
ton.

Onsaturdsy morning the Coroner, who had
been notified the preceding evening Of the
death from gun shot wound Of colored
man named Abraham Stewart, ct the house
Of his brother in Brownsville, on the suburbs
Of the city, proceeded thither for the pur-
pose Of holding an inquest. The following
facts were then ascertained; Stewart, who
lives at Belmont, some Ave or ak
miles from the city, on the night
Of the 22d inst, was sitting
in his kitchen door, when he was fired upon
by some party or parties unknown, who
were concealed near by. He was struck in
the abdomen, the ball passing through the
intestines and lodging little above
the hip bone, and he fell to
the floor. He was removed to his bed,
which was occupied also by his SON, G. II.
Stewart, and, so far as could be learned, re-
eeived no medical or other attention. The
next morning he was brought to the city
and carried to the house of his brother,
Duke Stewart, at Brownsville, where DR.. I.
G. Harden was called to see him, and rem
dered such services as were possible under
the circumstances. An examination, how
ever, satisfied him that the wound was NOR
tai, and the unfortunate man died on Fri
day night.
The shooting was not reported to any Of
the county or city officers, and 1t does not
seem that any effort was made BY the rela-
tiyes of Stewart to capture the assassins.
The Coroner soon discovered that 1t
would be useless to hold an inquest until
some additional information In reference to
the affair was obtained, and according
ly postponed it until this morning at 10
O'Clock, when It will be held at his Office,
corner of Jefferson and Liberty streets,
and the jurors who are summoned are de-
sired to be prompt in their attendance.
During Saturday, however, the Coroner
had c. Fl. Stewart, NJ. Stewart, Martha Hey
ward and John Anderson arrested on suspi-
cion of being concerned in the crime, and
committed them to jail. Anderson was
arrested at the Market In the afternoon.
All the parties are colored and were arrest
ed on the affidavit of Duke Stewart,
brother OF the deceased. A large
number Of witnesses have been summoned,
and thorough investigation of the case
will be made.
Abraham Stewart, the deceased, was
butcher in the Market for nearly thirty
years, and was regarded as worthy and in
duStrious man.

The Close of Miss CaIhOun's Engage.
ment.

AMCAkta
The engagement of the charming young
actress, Miss Eleanor Calhoun, was brought
to close Saturday with two capital per-
formances. At the matinee ssThe Hunch-
back" was given to a very large and de-
lighted audience, and was presented in all
its details in the most satisfactory manner.
The play is very popular in Savannah, and
was produced with even greater effect and
satisfaction than by Mrs. Bowers and Miss
Thompson two years since.
In the evening Sardou's great play of
"Daniel Rochat" was given as the farewell
piece to a very good Saturday night audi
ence.
The main interest. centers on two charac-
ters and most admirably did Miss Calhoun as
"Leah," and Mr.. Hill as "Daniel Rochat, :"
sustain their parts, and the scene in
"Leah's" room, where "Rochat' implores
her to abandon the ''mummery;' of a
church marriage, and go with
him as his wife to his home, the acting was
very fine. Miss Calhoun has scope for
the display of her emotional ability, and
used it to advantage. The support was
good, and the entire performance enjoyable,
especially the last two acts, which were
given remarkably well.
The company left for Augusta by the
Central train yesterday. where they play
one night only. We hope to have another
visit from Miss Calhoun next season. The
favorable impression she has created in
Savannah will then ensure for her crowded
houses
