Candidates for the Police Court
Matinee.

The register at the police barracks last
night indicated that there would be a very
full attendance Of invited guests at the re-
ception this morning. In addition to the
candidates enrolled for examination and
the usual honors during Saturday night, the
following were scooped in Yesterday and
last evening:
Reuben Harris and Rutha Harris, colored,
were arrested by Policemen Malone at an
early hour, on the charge of striking Ann
Ford in the street and creating a disturb
ance.
John Doyle, John Williams and John
Bell, colOred sports, were captured by
Policemen Muse and Smith about O'Clock,
while engaged in a little gambling game at
Market!dock, foot Of Barnard street. The gay
gamblers will be attended to this morning.
Shepard Kettles, eolored trooper, who
had been crOoking his elbow too frequently,
became bowling drunk, and sought to dis
turb the early Sunday morning slumbers of
peaceful citizens by his discordant wells.
Policeman Winkers grabbed the Kettles, and
pranced him off to the barracks.
Martha Harris, a disreputable colored fe-
male, was arrested yesterday morning by a
policeman for disgraceful conduct on the
street. Martha was attempting to dance
the can-can on the boulevard, and so shock
ed the policeman that he seized her and
marched her to the bastile.
Backus Robertson, a colored individual,
being with a crowd of boon companions,
noticed Policeman Nungazer patroling his
beat, and after making some sighting
illusions to that officer, said, "Bill Nun
gszer can't arrest anybody. I'd like
to see him attempt to take me in.S Right
here Backus made huge mistake as the
policeman sccosted him regarding his i'm
pudent language, when Backus became
more insolents The policeman then took
hold of him, when he resisted and a little
scuffie followed, during which. Backus got
a healthy lick oyer the head which caused
the gore to flow, but he had the satisfaction
of slightly mangling the officers hand.
Backus was subjugated, however, and led
off to the bsstile, and will be prominent
among the candidates to-day.
Policeman O'Keefe arrested Levi Haw-
kins, cOlored, and Policeman Anglin took
in VIM. West, colored. Both these broth
ers had been fooliDg with bad alcohol and
got fOored, or rather found themselves on
the sidewalk helpless and fOrlorn, aud were
conveyed to the bastile.
Paul Ford, a hilarious trooper, distin-
guished himself by getting drunk and dis
tUrbing the congregation of st. James
Tabernacle yesterday afternoon during
worship. Policeman Malone, however,
came up whilst Paul was at the height of
his monkey business and trotted him off to
the barracks.
A white man who had imbibed so freely
that he lost recollection of his own name,
was picked up at the corner of CASTOR and
Barnard streets by policeman and given a
free ride tn the barracks in street wagon

ANOTHER DREADFUL KERO-
SEINE EXPLOSION.
A Lille Girl Horribly Burned.

One Of the most distressing cases of burn
ing we have ever seen occurred in this city
early yesterday morning. Whilst Mr..
Thomas Mckay and his wife, who live on
Indian street near Farm, were at early
morning service before breakfast, their lit
tie daughter, Jane, aged about nine years,
attempted to make fire, but as it was not
burning well, she took the kerosene oil can
and commenced pouring oil on the fire.
Instantly there was an explosion, the burn
ing fluid soaking and burning her clothing
and body until the skin Of the
abdomen and chest became
hard and yellow, so that 1t felt like a tanned
hide. DR.. Falligant, who was called in at
once, states that he has seen many distress
ing cases of fatal burning, but he does not
remember one in which the surface of the
body appeared crisped so deeply as in this
case. He has no hope whatever Of her re-
covery, though she was still alive last even
ing, her pulse then being feeble and
tremulous, and beating 16O times minute.

The HeaIth OF the Citr.I

We refer the careful attention Of our read
ers to the mOrtuary report for the
week, to be found elsewhere, which is of
particular interest a. this time. Notwish-
standing the intense heat, the city remains
remarkably healthy. The total
fnterments for the week were %, of
which IL we're of whites aud Is Of cOlOred.
OF this number four were deaths from acct
dent or violence, two were brought dead to
the city and four were still born,
leaving only 10 deaths from natural causes.
OF this latter number eight were under 5
years of age. were between 60 aud 40
years and between 60 and 80 years Of age.
Such S showing speaks volumes for the
health Of Savannah and It is doubtful IL any
other city in the Union can present better

Great Reduction-Good News.

The well known Congress street milliner,
Mr.. II. G. Houston, has determined on
another reduction in the prices of the ele-
CANT array of goods now In his establish
ment. The articles are all seasonable, of
the most fashionable styles and novelties.
but it is necessary, in consequence of other
arrangements for more eligible quarters,
that he clear out the present line of goods,
hence the reduction. Ladies who need
anything In his line will do well to call
without delay and inspect his stock,
as the throngs Of fair ones that
constantly fill his attractive establishment
give evidence that his course is appreciated
and that there will be few bargains left. 1t
is unnecessary to enumerate the articles; we
can only advise our lady friends to call and
see for themselves. This is no announce
ment for buncombe, as visitors will find out
by calling, and, therefore, il you are dis
posed TO make good bargains, remember

Painfully IUjured.

Saturday evening about 7:45 O'Clock
young lad, the SOB OF Mr.. P. Z Masters, the
plumber, who is employed as cash boy in
the store Of Messrs. H. L. Schreiner & Co.,
met with very painful and serious acct
dent. He was out In front Of the store near
the heavy iron window pane protectors,
which were resting against the awning col
umn. and was about putting them up,when in
some way the rack was disturbed
in its position and one of the frames
fell over carrying the lad with 1t. The
full force of the heavy frame fell upon the
left leg of the boy, cutting q severe cash
just above the ankle and bruising it badly.
He was assisted into the store and a phYsi-
clan was summoned, and rendered necessary
attention, after which the injured lad was
sent to his fathers home.

Disturbance ON the wharf.

Saturday morning shortly before twelve
O'Clock, lively disturbance occurred be-
tween some colored women on the wharf of
the steamer Florida, which created some
excitement. Policeman Wlnkers' attention
was attracted to the scene, and he swooped
down upon the disturbers and arrested
Nancy Williams, Mary Farrabee aud Mary
MaDigault, well known in police annals as
disreputsble characters. They were taken
to the barracks, and the particulars of the
disturbance will be developed at the matt

Superintendent Jones, of the fire alarm
telegraph, is absent from the city, and Mr.
Adolph Fernando Z, the efficient Assistant
Engineer, now acting chief Of the depart
ment, learning that some of the wires we're
broken, and realizing the importance Of
having the circuit complete, started Satur-
day afternoon to huut up the broken wire.
This required considerable trouble, and was
the cause of the frequent tapping
Of the gong. Il was discov-
cred about ten O'Clock Saturday night
that two of the wires At Station 6, al the
gas house, we're snapped in twain and pOr-
tons were lying on the ground. Acting
Chief Fernandez Immediately secured seYe
raj Of the Barlow members, and taking the
Werner truck, proceeded TO the place. The
ladders were thrown up and the lines pro-
perly adjusted aud the break repaired. The
completed line was then tested and found
to work all right. The two strokes az IL
O'Clock were the signal that the line was in
working order. We are informed that the
wires were down Saturday morning, hav-
ing been broken, it is supposed, by some
wOTkmen who are erecting a building near
by, but the matter was not reported TO the
proper officer, and the discovery was only
made Accidentally.

Exciting Race After a sharp Thief.

Saturday afternoon about half past three
o'clock, as Policeman W. H. Smith was pa
trolling the Factors in the vicinity of Drav-
ton street, he observed a negro lodging
along with large bag of cotton On his
shoulders. He Immediately approac ed the
individual, and upon examining tie sack
found it contained about seventy five pounds
of clean cotton, evidently stolen from
bale. The negro explained that it was all
right, and invited the policeman to accom-
pauy him to the Office of his employer. He
seemed to be so perfectly self possessed and
easy that the officer thought possibly
he might be mistaken in
Judging the fellow who gave his name
as William Mossman, to be a thief. He,
however, accompanied him to an Office on
the Bay, up stairs. On reaching the Office
MOssman threw the bag on the floor, aud
making a spring forward disappeared
through a resr door and down a
flight OF stairs into the lane.
The policeman followed and found
on reaching the bottom of the stairs that
Mossman had locked the door behind him.
Policeman Smith retrsced his steps rapidly
and gaining the street discovered Mossman
running down the bluff. He gave chase
and after hard run succeeded in over
hauling the fugitive and then took him to
the barracks. There were a number of
negroes In the vicinity who saw the negro
running and the policeman after him, but
none attempted to stop the thief. 1t is
likely that the cute rascal will have an OPP
pOrtunity Of doing some good service for
the county at Cuyler's Swamp.

Report for the Month of June.

We have received from E. T. Bryan, Esq,
superintendent OF the Savannah Cotton Ex-
change, the following report OF the Com
mittee on Information and Statistics for the
month OF June, condensed from replies of
correspondents from sections allotted to it
by the National Cotton Exchange:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS REPLIES FROM FIJI
TY-FoUR COUNTIES.
The weather during the month Of June
was hot and dry. Forty-eight replies state
that the weather was more favorable than
last year; twenty. six that It was less favor
able: and fifteen that it was about the same.
The dry weather enabled the farmer to
clear the grass out so easily that little or no
land has been abandoned. Stands are re-
ported good. The first planting, where the
plant is large enough, is forming and bloom
ing well. The present condition OF the
crop is good, but ten days behind last year.
The plant is unusually small for this season
of the year-from want of rsin-but 1t Is
thrifty, cleaner, and shows high state Of
cultivation.
FLoRIDA-NINETEBN REPLIES FROM THIR-
TEEN COUNTIES.
Weather is reported dry and favorable for
the plant during the month OF June; stands
generally very good, and no lands have
been abandoned; plant Is forming and
blooming well, though it is small and back
ward. Caterpillars reported in middle OF
the State.
In the sea island section the plant is re-
ported to be doing well, though small forms
and blooms forced forward earlier than
usual by dry weather. The crop at this date
is more promising than at the same date
last year.
