vigil4nt police secured sufficient candidates
to make a respectable show this morning.

Fashion Notes.

Muslin boas fifteen inches wide are worn
in Paris.
One must tell a woman only what one
wants to be known.-CdrOR.
Borders in open work embroidery appear
on some Of the new cashmeres.
Women always give more than they re-
ceiye; men less.-ArSe'e Holtssdye.
Woman is a charming creature, who
changes her heart as easily as her gloves
Bdlzdc.
Lavender gloves are slowly taking their
place by the side of mastic, as a favorite
color to wear with white.
Shooting jackets of poingee, embroidered
In silk of a darker color, are worn with
dark silk skirts in the morning.
The elbow sleeves of shaded satin dresses
are shirred from shoulder to cuff, the dark
est color being placed at the top.
The Spanish spotted net makes one of the
prettiest and most durable of transparent
ties, and also one of the cheapest.
Bayadere stripes aud striped watered silk
are to be the fashionable materials to com
bine with wooden goods next winter.
The flower jewelrv in colored gold,
sprinkled with diamonds, is called Spanish.
1t is exceedingly pretty and elegant.
Sets of duchess lace are serious matters
nowadays, for they include a kerchief, a
Stuart collar, cascade and cuffs, and,
possibly, founces.
Buttons made expressly to match the
figures in a brocade are considered among
the things that fashionable woman owes
it to herself to wear.
French dressmakers send out gowns of
printed percale, with cashmere basQues and
cashmere overskirts, lined with percale and
turned up all around.
Lace, after suddenly changing from
coffee tint to almost pure white, is now
worn of any hue that pleases the fancy, and
that can be produced by tea, coffee or SAT-
from.
Stamped silks are to be the novelty Of
next season. The designs are taken from
playing cards and from Alhambra wall de-
corations, or sometimes represent Egyptian
heads.
Handkerchiefs with borders of two rows
of tatting wheels are among the curiosities
of the trade. That anybody can afford to
make them for dollar shows that human
life is cheap.
Black surah gowns made up with two
plated founces, a simple apron drapery, a
perfectly plain basque, and Spanish lace
trimming at the throat and wrists, are
among the cheapest of summer dresses.
Only fourteen yards at a dollar yard are
needed for one of them.

DIsIIn guished HOnOrs Won by a
Savannah YOunR LADY,

In the account of the commencement ex-
ercises of st. Xavier's Academy, at Pitts
burg, Pa, published in The Catholic, we
find the following complimentary mention
of Savannah young lady:
"The distribution of premiums
and testimonials to the young ladies of the
senior and first classes were next in order
Miss Mamie O'Byrne, of Savannah, Ga,
deserves special mention, in having received
a testimonial for exemplary conduct and a
large number of premiums"
"Miss 0'Connor won the admi-
ration of her hearers, which Miss O'Byrne
retained by the splendid presentation of a
harp solo by G. Oberthur. Miss O'Byrne's
touch is elegant, and the feeling with which
she played elected great applause. The
great event Of the day was the awsrdal of
the crosses Of honor to the graduates of
ISL, Misses O'Byrne and Degnan. Miss
Kearney received testimonial for passing
through the senior circle successfully. The
valedictory was delivered by the heroine of
the day, Miss O'Byrne. The address was
elegant, chaste and sensible, and the de-
livery all that could be desired. The
Bishop, after the valediciory was spoken,
made few eloquent and very appropriate
remarks"
The gold medal presented by Mr.. NJ. A.
O'Byrne, of Savannah, was awarded Miss
Mary Anderson for general application to
studies

On Saturday evening about half-past six
O'Clock eOlOred WAGNER was sitting in his
vehicle at the Exchange dock, calmly eogi-

He struck on his face, which was badly

The animal not stopping to look at his dis

street. In passing the wharf of the
Georgia and Florida inland steamers,
the body OF the wagon came in
violent collision with the shed posts, and
the result was a pretty bad wreck, the
wagon being smashed and torn loose from
the shafts. The horse, still further fright

heels, continued his frantic career, running
through the shed OF the Philadelphia steam
ship, and was stopped at the foot OF Lit

While the train which left this city on
Friday afternoon on the Charleston and
Savannah Railway was passing Johns
Island Ferry, approaching Charleston, a
large piece Of phosphate rock was hurled
through one of the windows Of the dining
room car, narrowly missing the conductor
Of that car, and covering him with pieces Of
broken glass. The rock was evidently
thrown by one Of q crowd Of negroes, who
are always cOngregsted at the phosphate
works near Johns Island Ferry landing at
the time OF the passing Of the train, and a
reward Of SO has been offered by the
authorities Of the road for the detection and
arrest Of the outlaw.

House Breakers After Money.

Early Saturday morning between three
o'clock and day break some burglars entered
the residence ia State street by the rear
windows and very coollY and deliberately
proceeded to ransack the house. The par
ties were evidently old house breakers on
the search for money and jewelry, as
although there were numerous
valuable articles, useful and orna-
mental, about, they made no effort
to carry anything off. The clothes
of the owner were searched, but
they got little for their pains,
as, contrary to his usual custom,
he had that night placed his watch under
his pillow. The marauders made a thorough
search OF the house, and examined lew
elry case which they found 10 the room, but
fortunately found nothing of value. The
pants belonging to the gentleman of the
house were carried into the yard and the
pockets turned inside out. They obtained
his pOcketbook, containing a small sum of
money and some papers OF no value, and
then left the pantaloons on the stoOp.
They also paid a visit to the adjoining
house, liz State street, where they searched
the pants of one of the occupants and OBJ
tanned goodly sum of money. It is proba-
BILE they would have continued their inves-
LEGATIONS through the neighborhood, but
were frightened off by the savage barking
of some dogs in the vicinity. From the
manner in which the two houses named
were "worked" there is every reason to
suspect that the robbers are experts and
old hands at the business.

Death of VIZ. David PIggotf.

The announcement Saturday that Mr..
David Piggott, a well known and popular
naval stores broker, had been found dead
in his bed at the Pavilion Hotel occasioned
general regret. Mr.. Piggott the past two
days had complained of the excessive heat,
which, 1t seems, affected him greatly, but
did not incapacitate him from attending
to business. On Friday, which will be re-
membered as an intensely hot day, he was
very busily engaged, and about half past
five O'Clock returned to his hotel rather
Frustrated and retired to his room. About
eight o'clock DR.. johnson, proprietor of the
hotel, visited him and found that he had
fever, but he was conscious, and did not
consider he was seriously i'll. At one
o'clock he was again visited, when it was
found his fever had abated, and he was
resting very comfortably. Saturday morn
ing he was found dead in his bed, having
expired some time between one and six
O'Clock, and from subsequent examination
it is supposed from internal hemOrhage.
Mr.. Piggott was a native Of Beaufort, n.
c., and removed here from Wilmington,
where he had been engaged in large to-
bacco business, which he was compelled to
give up on account of his health. On COM
ing to Savannah about a year since he en-
baTked in the naval stores business as a
broker. He was a gentleman of unim-
peachable integrity, high toned, genial and
benevolent, and was very highly esteemed
by all with whom he came in social or bust
ness contact.
At the commencement OF the war he
Joined the first company organized
in North Carolina. the Wilmington Light
Infantry, with which he served calamity
until he was captured and carried to a
Northern prison. After he was exchanged
he returned to Wilmington, and was
commissioned Assistant Paymaster in
the Confederate service, under PaYmaster
Henry Savage, which position he accept
ably filed till the close of the war. In all
relations of life be was reputed most wOr-
thy and honorable gentleman. He was a
member of the Savannah Naval Stores As
