Violation Of Customs Laws.

The steamship Lancaster, which arrived
at Tybse several days since from Liverpool,
had on board a lot of clothing valued at about
$500, for parties in this city, which were not
entered for duty. This fact being known,
a custom house official visited the steamer,
aud on the goods, in compliance
with demand, being produced
placed the government seal
upon them, with instructions that they
should not be disturbed, and also, it is
stated, cautioned the Captain of the tug
Bramell, who was In communication with
the steamship, not to take the goods on his
vessel. Notwithstanding this, the Bran
ell had communication with the Lancaster
on Thursday, received the goods on board,
aud WAS coming up to the city, when she
encountered the revenue steamer with the
officials, who stopped and boarded the tug
and found the goods there. They
were at once taken posses
sion of, and will be coRhscated
and sold, although the parties for whom
they were brought offered to pay the duty.
The Captains of the Brsmell and Lsncas-
ter are liable to fine of $500 each for this
violation, and it is understood that proceed
ings will be taken against them. As has
been stated, the Lancaster sailed for Gal
weston on Thursday noon.

A Leading Professor Speaking of
Sensible People.

DR.. s., the prominent Eastern medical
lecturer, says: every day sensible people
come to me complaining of their health
being broken down. The answers to my in
quirIes always are-what Isurmise-nature's
laws have been totally disregsrded; conse-
quently the blood, the stream of life, be-
comes northumberland as aresult Of this
blood poisoning, find dyspepsia and dis
ordered functions of the heart, lungs, liver
and kidneys, accompanied by headache,
nervous debility, and other impaired organic
portions, often vergiDg on paralysis. In
order to keep the digestive organs in proper
health and strength, l and my friends In the
profession have recommended Browns Iron
Bltters-they act so mildly and sOothingly,
never leaving any unpleasant after effects,
Strengthening the organs of digestion, and
permanently removing every symptom of
i'll health, languor and debility. No remedy
in the East gives such good satisfaction as
Browns Iron Bltters. and all druggists can
procure it for you. Don't be persuaded to
use a substitute. This remedy contains no
alcohol, and is the only preparation of Iron
that does not blAcken the teeth. "-Sita.

The Damage 90 the Exchange.

As is well known, the City Exchange was,
during the recent severe storm, very badly
damaged, the roof OF one side being peeled
of aud a portion OF the northern tower
blown out. In conse quence Of the general
damsge throughout the city, aud the fact that
many private residences were in such a con-
dition as to be untenable, It was decided
by the city authorities to put of the repair
Of public buildings for while, as IL was
impossible TO procure labor without
seriously inconveniencing those citizens
who needed their services 81 once.
For this reason the repairs on the Exchange
were not commenced until Thursday. a
few more days of dry weather and
no serious consequences would have
resulted from this consideration on
the part of the city authorities for the pri-
vate citizens. On Thursday night, how
ever, a heavy rain set in, which ragged du-
ring the greater portion of yesterday
forenoon, and considerable damage was oc-
cssiOnsd. The various public offices were
more or less flooded, snd the newly fires
coed ceiling IN the offices Of the Mayor and
Clerk Of Council were badly damaged by
the dripping water. Il is feared this rain
will heavily increase the amount Of damages
sustained 10 the building on the night of the
storm. The wOrkmen are now engaged,
and the repairs will be rapidly pushed for
ward before the next dousing rain.

FLOODED Homes.

We learn that quite a number Of our eiti-
zens whose houses were damaged by the re-
cent storm, and who have been unable to
have their roofs thoroughly repaired, suf-
fsred great inconvenience yesterday and
Thursday night The heavy rain soaked
through, flooding the upper rooms and rem
dering them untenable. We heard OF one
family on Taylor street who were compelled
TO leave their house and seek shelter else
where. It is indeed fortunate that the
weather since the storm has been so favOrA-
bic. otherwise the sufferers from leaking
houses would have been more numerous.

UNwRLCOME NEWS FOR HOUSE
KEEPERS.
A Marked Rise I'm the Price of
Canned Goods and other Food
Supplies.

Housekeepers will be sorry to learn that
there has been a stiff advance in the prices
Of canned goods generally, and that they
are likely to be higher this season than they
have been in years. On account Of the ef-
feet Of the drought on the fruit and vege-
table crops there has already been rise in
canned goods, as noted in our Baltimore ex-
changes, which will average at least Is per
cent. The drought has extended
through the greater part of the
Southern States, and in Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Tennessee
and Virginia the damage resulting from the
failure of the fruit and vegetable crops VIII
amount to millions of dollars. California
has made fair crop, but the prices in Cali
fornia fruits have already gone up 10 per
cent higher than last year. tits said that
there must be a large demand for canned
goods because the farmers In States which
usually do something to supply the market
will this year be forced themselves to be-
come consumers.
The goods of last years packing will
bring from 10 to Is per cent. more than last
season. There will be an enlarged demand
for canned goods this fall among small
dealers, and in the country where the sup
plies for domestic consumption have gene
rally been put up sat home" and where
Imported" goods have been the exception
and not the rule.
The following example will give some
idea OF the advance in prices: Canned
peaches, that were selling six weeks ago at
81 IS a dozen, are now worth 50 -; toma-
toes have jumped from 81 to 81 80 per
dozen, and so in pears, cherries, raspberries
and blackberries there has been like ad-
vance.
There has also been general advance In
the provision market. SYrups have ad-
vanced from four to six cents gallon;
grist that was worth from 81 to 81 % per
barrel a month ago, is now worth s. 80;
corn has gone up from so to So cents and 81
per bushel. Smoked bacon is now worth
Is cents a pound, an increase Of three cents
since the first of August; flour that was
selling az So 80 barrel two months ago is
now worth S. 80, and the best is quoted at
$40 per barrel.
Such figures do not contain much comfort
for those who already find it difficult "to
make both ends meet" and the strictest
economy will be required TO pass through
the coming winter or until the pressure is
relieved, and there is fall in prices.

HOW TO Avoid Accidents.

Referring to the account in our Georgia
news column Of Yesterday of the narrow
escape OF Mr.. P. Lewis from serious injury
from the explosion Of a kerosene lamp, the
wick of which he turned down and then
endeavored to extipguish the fame by fan
ming with his hat, Mr.. Bolshaw, our well
known citizen, sends US the following:
Editor Morning Ne1os; Mr.. P. Lewis, Of
Athens, would not have had the narrow
escape II he had not turned down the wick
before attempting to blow out the light.
Any kerosene lamp can be blown out with
perfect impunity, provided the wick is not
disturbed. Yours, etc,

We learn that certain parties are getting
up petition to have the Park gates locked
on Sundays, so as to give the hinges one
day'sres out Of seven. Now, those parties
are undoubtedly "bilious," and if they
would take Kieffer's Peruvian Cure, accord
ing to directions, they would soon get over
their naidSmGtic difficulties. They can find
1t at any drug or country store. The pro-
prietor warrants its efficacy, and it only

Resisting Arresr-A Fierce struggle


About ten minutes to nine O'Clock last
night Policeman Nungazer, who was patrol
ing his beat on East Broad street, had his
attention attracted to considerable disorder
at the corner of that street and Bay lane.
Proceeding thither he found an individual
who was rendering the night hideOus with
his blasphemy. He was greatly enthused
with whisky, and was inclined to bellige-
rency, thirsted as it were for gore, and want
ed to annihilate the entire neighbOrhood.
Policeman NuEgazer considered that the
peace Of the community would be subserv-
ed by removing the individual, whose name
it subsequently, appeared was Nick Wall, to
more retired quarters. When he placed his
hand on Wall, however, and Informed him
he was under arrest, he met with violent
resistance, Wall declaring that he would
not be arrested, and defYing the officer, and,
in fact, the whole police force to capture
him. When Policeman NungaZer once
seizes a disorderly character, however, he
means business, as Wall found out before
the Journey to the barracks was completed.
Wall fought like a tiger, and a desperate
struggle ensued, continuing through the
streets all the way to the barracks, but the
policeman was victorious, and finally landed
his man In the presence of the Sergeant.
The struggle was fierce and severe, but Wall
was pretty well subjugated, and was speed
ly consigned to an apartment, where he was
left to refresh himself for an interview In
the Police Court this morning.
