Accidentally KILLED.
On Saturday morning about ten O'Clock
Ben Spencer, young colored man, was in
SANITY killed on Hutchinson's Island by
the accidental discharge OF pistol, under
the following circumstances:
Spencer had gone to the store of Mr.
Percy Olmstead, at the extreme upper end
of the island, to make some Purchases
After buying some articles he fingered in
the store while. Mr.. VIM. L. johnson, a
clerk In the establishment, was examining a
small Smith & Wesson pistol, which
was Wg NOT NOT loaded, when na his inger
accidentally slipped from the trigger, and,
the hammer falling, the pistol was dis
charged, one of the chambers being loaded.
The ball struck Spencer in the left breast
aud penetrated the heart, and he fell TO the
Door a corpse.
The Coroner was notified, and, proceed
ing across to the island, had the remains
brought over here, aud summoned all the
witnesses. The body was carried to the
morgue, it being the first time the
quest was held, and the matter was
submitted to the jury at 2 o'clock, when
thev retired to a convenient spot in the vi
cinity for elaboration. 1t seems there was
some difference of opinion, as they were
five hours before coming to any decision.
At O'Clock they informed the Coroner
they had agreed upon a verdict, which was
as follows: 1--WE, the jury, find that the de-
ceased, Ben Spencer, came to his death
from a guusbot wound inflicted with pis-
FOL In the hands of W. L. johnson, and that
1t was an accident-in other words, that the
deceased met his death by being accident

An Escaped BurgIsr,

A policeman was Saturday morning sent
to the wharf Of the steamer City of Bridge
ton for the purpose of arresting an escaped
burglar from Jacksonville, who was be-
lieved to be on board. On the arrival Of
the steamer the officer Immediately went on
board and made a thorough search, but
failed to find hls man. 1t appeared that the
BridgetOn met the steamship City OF
Macon down the river on her trip to New
York and transferred a number Of Northern
bound passengers. The superstition is
that the cute fugitive, apprehend-
ing that there would be some one
on the lookout for him here, concluded not
to come up to the city, and was transferred
with the others to the City Of Macon.

Death OF a Worthy Young Man.

Mr.. Stephen A. Williams, cashier and pay
master in the employ Of the Southern Ex-
press Company in this city, died yesterday
morning at 6 O'Clock at his residence, No.
81 Charlton street, under very unfortunate
circumstances and the announcement Of
his sad fate win be heard with surprise and
genuine regret by the many who knew and
appreciated him.
On Saturday night he went home at his
usual hour, and, before retiring, requested
his wife not to have him aroused until eleven
O'Clock Sunday yesterday morning. Being
restless during the night, and desiring to
produce sleep, he arose to get some lauda-
mum. and poured out what II Is supposed ne
considered a dose In a tumbler, falling to
light the lamp at the time. In consequence
he made q fatal mistake and took an over
dose, and. about Daylight, swoke in great
sun ring. His physician was summoned
and responded promptly, but was unable to
counterset the effects OF the terrible drug,
and he died az six o'clock as stated.
Coroner Sheftall was notified and held an
Inquest, and after an investigation the jury
rendered verdict OF ''death from an over
dose OF laudanum taken by accident"
Mr.. Williams was a native Of Monticello,
Florida, and came to Savannah ten years
since as an employee Of the Southern Express
Company. He was competent aud efficient,
and was promoted from one position to an
other. and at the time Of his death occupied
the responsible post of cashier and pay
master as stated. He will be well remem-
bered BY many Of our business men
as the Express money delivery clerk,
which position he occupied for
several years. In 1876 he had an
aftaek Of yellow fever, and since that
time has been in very delicate health,
though he stood up under the pressure OF
fusiness- which was unusually heavy, this
season.. he was a man Of exemplary habits
and unfagging energy, and BY bis death the
company Of which he was q trusted en-
Move sustains the loss Of one whose place
esn6ot be readily filed. Mr.. Williams was
twentv-eight years Of age, and leaves wife
IA daughter Of Colonel Columbus Harris, OF
Mcintosh county,. and two little children.
his funeral will take place this afternoon st
i've O'Clock from the First Presbyterian
Church.

A Negro Desperately Stabs Another
without PrOVOcaIiOn.

Yesterday afternoon about half-past four
O'Clock VIM. Bell, colored, was very severely
stabbed in the right breast by Sam johnson,
colored, at Woodville, three miles from the
city on the Augusta road. Bell states that
johnson approached him, and without any
provocation made a lunge at him with
a large knife and stabbed him in the
right breast He asserts they had no
previous trouble, nor had any hard words
psssed between them. Bell, who lives on
Lumber street, came TO the city and went
TO the office of DR.. B. T. Sheftsll. where his
wound was properly dressed. In the opin-
ion OF DIR. Sheftall the knife penetrated the
lung, and the wound is very serious. John
son had not been arrested up to late hour.

Picnic of the Female Orphan Re
uovo1ans Society.

The annual picnic Of the Female Orphan
Benevolent Society, for the benefit Of the
orphan girls at White Bluff, will take
place at the sehustzen Park tomorrow.
Arrangements have been made for very
pleasant time. Tickets may be obtained
from any of the committee named in the
advertisement.
The revenue of the society is derived
from collections made in the several wards
of the city by ladies, but notwithstanding
the zeal and perseverance they display in
this good work, their collections fall far
short Of the amount necessary. Last year
the amount collected in this way was ST.
0S9 IS, while the expenditures smounted to
I,956 SO, leaving 1867 IA to be raised in
some other manner. The society, therefore,
depends greatly upon the success Of their
annual picnic to make up this deficit.

Saturday afternoon about five O'Clock the
roof of the wooden building on Bay street,
between Habershsm and Price, which is oe-
cupied by MessTs. Cockshutt s. Jergerson
as an Office, was set on ere by a spark from
the smoke stack. A serious eonaagration
would probably haye ensued but for the
promptness OF the YOTkmen, who got out
on the roof from 8 window, through
which water in buckets was passed and the
fire quenched. The Washington steam fire
engine arrived quickly at the scene, but
fortunately its services we're not needed.
