The Result Of a Drop Too Much
AIcOhOPs Victims.

Doubtless when Henry johnson, festive
colored individual, started on a jamboree
Saturday night, he did not contemplate
getting drunk and going to sleep in
trash barrel. but unfortunately
for Henry he took just a drop too
much, and about one o'clock yesterday
morning, overcome by his potations, he
turned into q broken trash barrel, and,
under the impression that It was a walnut
bed with spring mattress, gently dropped
into a snOoZe, as it were. Policeman Farr,
taking his usual constitutional moonlight
stroll, coming across the sleeping beauty,
and fearing his delicate system might be
injured by the heavy dews, aroused him
aud trotted him off to the institution on
South Broad street.
James Skine constituted himself a sam
pier of liquors, and made the grand rounds
of various cheap barrOoms on Saturday
night, and, about half past two O'Clock yes
terday morning, was so completely exhaust
ed by his arduOus labors that he was in
duced to seek a friends doorway, where to
rest bis weary limbs and ruminate upon his
efforts as a philanthropist In putting liquor
down. Policeman Farr CHANGED to meander
that way also, and snatching Jeems up to a
perpendicular position, cruelty informed
him that he was drunk, and, without fur
Their ado, hustled him off to the barracks.
Lena Moore, fair but frail creature, who
has a foDdness for the fiery tangle foot, was
not satisfied with enough OF a good thing,
but, true to her name, wanted more. The
result was that shortly after midnight Sat-
urday the "drop too much" had SO tfected
the fair Lena that she sought oblivion in a
snooze on the sidewalk. Her pleasant
dreams were disturbed by Lieutenant How
ard, who suggested that a soft plank IN
room No. 2, ground floor of sinners rest,
would be found more comfortable than
sidewalk in bad condition, and thither
conducted her.
Henry Lewis, a colored warrior, who has
wrestled with old Alcohol MANY "a time
and off," tackled some of the fighting
quality on SATURDAY. night and became
rather uproarious. Policeman Allen Jones
gently admonished Henry that it was not the
proper thing to disturb the midnight slumb-
ers of the righteous people and thereby give
them an excuse for not attending church,
and proposed that he take a walk to the
barracks. Henry resisted the motion and
also the officer, but the little rosewood per-
>uadcr induced him to withdraw his objec-
tons, and be was led off and consigned TO
"durance vile"
Joe Harvey and Louis DeLyon had also
been investigating the merits OF some
double distilled fighting whiskey, and yes
terday morning about half past ten O'Clock
created considerable excitement by indulg-
log in r rough and tumble combat on the
street. Policeman Allen Jones CHANGED TO
be around at the most Interesting time, and
snatching the pugilists, waltzed them off to
the barracks

Death of mr. Robert LochIIson.

We are panied to announce this morning
the death of Mr.. Robert Lachlison, former
ly a prominent citizen Of Savannah, but for
the past fifteen years resident of Darien,
which sad event occurred at the latter place
on Friday. The deceased was a native of
England, and, after thoroughly learning
the trade of machinist, he emigrated ct an
early age to America and located at Pater-
sen, N. j., where he engaged in business
for some Years, and then removed to
Charleston, where he remained but
a short while. He came to Savannah about
1885, and in few years secured a large
business, his splendid and extensive foun-
dry building on River street, near the canal,
which is now used as a cotton warehouse,
being q monument to his enterprise and in
dustrY. Under the firm name Of r. 81 j.
Lachlison, his brother, the late James Lach-
lison, being his partner, he conducted prob
ably the largest and most profitable foundry
business in the South, and accumulated
handsome competency.
He was elected an Alderman Of the city
of Savannah and served with much distinc-
ton for a number of years. He was q
member of the Council at the time of the
capitulation of the city to General Sherman
in 1854 and delivered up the keys of the
city to that officer.
few days after the entrance of the
Federal troops into the city, the deceased
and several other Aldermen were arrested
and incarcerated in the jail, on some frivol=
Gus pretext, where they were confined for
several days.
Mr. Lachllson was a man of enlarged views,
honest, industrious, energetic aud fearless
in whatever he considered TO be the right,
aud hence had the friendship, esteem and
respect of all who knew him. He was,
while resident of this city, most valua-
bic citizen, and always took live aud &C
tive interest in all that pertained
to her welfare. Although he had passed
three score and ten years, the span of life
allotted to man, his death will be none the
lees regretted, and those who knew him
best aud could the more fully appreciate
the genuine tn of his character will feel
with greater intensity the decree which has
removed from this sphere one who was so
honorable, worthy and deserving.

ADANCE ENDS IN A TRAGEDY.
A COIOred Man Found Dead I'm the
Road with Two Bullets In His
Body.

On Saturday night there was, It appears,
dance and shouting party at the house OF
one John Graham, on Springfield planta-
ton, near boomers place, some three miles
from the city, which was attended by a
number of colored men and women from
the city. Among these was Richard Small,
who lives on st. Gsul street, between Har-
rison and Zubly.
The frolic was kept up until a late hour,
and the parties living in the city started
to return home. There had been, 1t
would seem, during the evening some
little difficulty, but, according to Ora
hams statement, there was no open
breach of the peace in his house. On the
road, coming to the city, 1t is presumed,
from the subsequent events, that the din
Guilty was renewed and weapons were drawn.
Several pistol shots were heard by parties
living in the vicinity, but, as the discharge
of firearms in that locality is Of almost
nightly occurrence, no significance was at
tached to these sounds, and nothing more
was thought about the matter until early
yesterday morning.
Some colored people coming to the city
from the neighborhood of Springfield plan
tatiop were Mortified to find lying near the
roadside the dead body Of a colored man,
WHICH WAS subsequently, Do ludb VI
chard Small. There was a wound in the
neck, and another in the body just below
the last rib which penetrated the liver.
The parties fastened on TO the city and
notified Coroner Sheftsll about half-past
eight O'Clock in the morning. He imme-
diately proceeded 10 the spot, and, after
examining the body, ordered it to be re
moved to the home of the deceased on st.
Gaul street.
The Coroner then entered into partial in
vestigatiOn and ascertained the names of
some of the parties who were at the frolic
and who also were In the difficulty. While
there was no direct proof OBJ aimed, suspi-
cion was sufficiently strong to warrant the
arrest of Boston King, cOlOred, who has
been in several ugly stfairs- heretofore, and
been On trial in the Superior Court. Boston,
Vt appears, was with the crowd after leaving
Graham's house, and it is suspected fred
he fatal shot He was arrested during the
morning and committed to Jail
bv the Coroner to answer the charge
If murder. Tue following parties were also
arrested and confined 10 Jail last night as
witnesses: Macky johnson. Cyrus Williams,
Josephus Norman, BRYAN Sykes, John
Graham, and Mahals Johnson, the latter
the brevet wife of Boston King.
A jury was empanneled, but the inquest
was postponed until half-past ten O'Clock
this morning at the superior Court room.
Several other witnesses will be secured to-
day.

FROM THE ROOF TO THE
STREET.
A Man Falls from an AtIIc Window
and IL Badly Injured.

On Saturday night, B. F. Blanchsrt, a
sailor, boarding at house on Bryan street,
between AbereOrn and Lincoln, had very
narrow escape from being terribly mangled
and instantly killed. How he escaped is a
miracle. He occupied one OF the attic
rooms in the house, which is two story
frame. This room has a dormer window,
opening out upon q slanting tin roof. o.
retiring 70 his room on Saturday night,
Blauchart, it is stated, sat in the window 10

and tumbled over, sliding down the steep
tin roof, knocking away about eight feet OF
the gutter, striking against the railing
which surrounds the top OF the poTticO, and
bouncing into the street, which is not paved
He was completely stunned by the tremend-
Gus fall. and It was thought by those who
rushed to his assistance that be was killed
He received a severe cut in the head and
severe sprain OF the right shoulder. The
skull was not fractured and. strange TO say,
his Injuries are not considered fatal. DE
wss removed into the house and physicians
were summoned, who rendered every stten
ton, and lest evening he was reported TO be
doing as well as could possibly he expected.

Twice RoBb.d-A Complete Haui.

Mr.. F. T. Durbec, the weli-knOwn clerk
in the naval stores yard OF the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway, has been the
victim OF an enterpTi,ing burglar, having
suffered from two visitations, and, on the
last occasion, the marsUdr making a biz
haul The residence is on Gwinnett street,
near Lincoln, and, about 1 O'Clock 10 the
day, some three weeks ago, wss entered
during the Temporary absence Of the family
and robbed of a large quantity OF Clothing
aud underwear. The success which re
varied the efforts OF the burglar
apparently encouraged him TO
make another visit. and on We'd
nesday h. again appeared on the premises.
Whist the mother Of Mr. Durbec was IN the
front room at her sewing machine, the
fellow gathered up a big assortment OF
clothing and other articles, and meandered
out in broad daylight A neigh5Or saw bin

bee, who, FASTENING TO the rear OF the house,
saw the negro in the yard aud ordered him
TO leave. which Injunction he gss not slow
in obeving, having a big bundle IN MS arm
containing the plumber he had secured, and
which was not noticed by Mrs Durbec.
The locality, il seems, is without police pro
lection, there being only occasionally, as
the residents state, a mounted policeman
seen 10 the vicinity, and on this occasion be

burglar agaiu escaped. The yard through
which the negro entered the rear OF Dir.

Rows Among NegrOes-TWo Men
wounded Seriously.

Yesterday morning about eleven O'Clock
there was considerable disturbance among
a crowd of negroes on Randolph street,
near Thunderbolt road, Magazine waro'
which resulted seriously 10 one OF the par
ties. The men had been drinking and
csrousinO- and. getting into q dispute, re-
sorted 10 their knives and sticks TO settle 1t.
Several were hurt, and one, whose name
conId not be ascertained, was cut three or
four times about the body, and it is thought
was dangerously wounded. He bled
profusely, and the sidewalk was besprinkled
with his gore. This termination Of the row
caused general seatteration Of the partiei-
pants. The wounded man was seized by
some friends and hustled of to house In the
vicinity, end the others disappeared, as the
approach Of a policeman was announced
In a few seconds after the row, Policeman
Mock, who had heard of the disturbance,
reached the scene and found everything
quiet and serene. Very few cOlored people
were about, aud these were, according TO
their accounts, utterly ignorant of any trou-
BILE having occurred. The evidence OF
of It, however, was seen in the crimson
spots on the pavement. The policeman
made INQUIRIES at several Of the houses, but
could not learn what had become OF the
wounded man or others concerned IN the
difficulty. The determination was apparent
70 divulge nothing IN reference to the affair
aud 10 throw the officer off the scent, in
order to avoid arrest.
About FIVE o'clock yesterday after
noon there was q similar difficulty be
tween a number of colOred men
in the south western portion of the city,
which resulted even more seriously than
the Sunday morning frOlic in Magazine
ward above noted. On this occasion
the little revolver was brought into requisi
ton aud used to some purpose. Frank
Smith, one of the party, was shOt in the
right side, the ball passing through aud
lodging in the opposite portion OF the body
infiieting a very serious and possibly fatal
wound. The wounded man was convey d

NIIshaP at the Launching of a New
ROaL

Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock,
quite large crowd assembled on the wharf
foot of West Broad street, to witness the
launching Of new bateau. They saw the
launch and something else not down on
the bills, which occasioned considerable
merriment. There we're two young men en-
gagged in launching the boat, and both had
the pleasure of making a sudden aequain-
lance with the element which their
craft was destined to adorn.
In sliding the bateau into
the river, she nearly filed with water.
One of the young men quickly jumped into
another boat lying near by, and attempted
to careen the new craft to enable her to dis
charge the water. His companion not COM
pretending the situation, stepped on the
opposite side of the boat, thinking his
weight would adjust matters, but the con-
trary effect was occasioned and the sudden
swerving Of the boat threw young man
No. l into the water. The
new craft thus suddenly relieved
of his weight, righted itself too quickly,
and young man No. 2, not being on his
guard, he too was jostled into the river.
They foundered about in a desperate sort
of way, and were finally rescued, suffering
nothing beyond complete drencbing. The
sight was hugely enjoyed by the spectators
who had gathered to witness the launch.
