The Murder OF ThOs. r. murtagh-
COFOneFss INQUEST.

TIE death Of Mr.. Thos. T. Murtagh, who
was assaulted and cut OF last Monday nigh,
as stated In the News, took place on the
1G,h, aud Coroner sheftall, being notified of
the fact, lad jury Of inquest summoned on
yesterday aud proceeded to hold the same
in view of the remains Of the deceased at
hts residence.
The only witnesses appearing before the
jury were tie two physicians who attended
on the deceased, and his brother, and the
evidence elected was as follows:
DR.. r S. Saunders, sworn, saith: Last
Monday evening about 10 or 1890 O'Clock,
was called on to 90 and see deceased;
found him 10 his room with hemorrhage;
fOuud q wound on the left side Of the neck,
as DIR. Reed has described; ordered a com
press on the wound and arrested the hem
Orrhage, and them sewed up the wound and
ordered some fluid extract Of ergot: DR..
Reed then came in and l turned the case
over to him; the hemOrrhage was from the
lung.
Dr. J. B. Read, sworn, saith: On last
Monday night, between 10 and IL O'Clock, l
called to see Mr.. ThOs. Murtsgb; | found
him sitting in his bed and DR.. Sanders in
attendance; an incised wound about half an
inch long on the transverse lower third Of
the neck, on the left side, extending from
the edge Of the steruO cleviele Of the mas
tord muscle, half an iach toward the medisn
line Of the neck: the wound had been
stitched up by DR.. Sanders; there was at
the time hemOrrhage by coughing, to some
extent; plenty Of blood was in the basin,
said to have been expectorated; the tissues
in the neighbOrhoOd Of the wound iudi-
Gated, by the pressure of the air, that the
trachea or some portion OF the lung had
been iDiured attended him until he died
last night. Il is my opinion that he died
from the effects Of the wound, although he
had other serious disease of his lungs.
Mr.. NJ. Murtsgh, sworn, saith, Monday
night | was sitting out in the kitchen with
the rest Of the family, and heard a noise
outside; went to the door, and saw my
brother standing with his hand on the tree
box: said to him: "Whst is the natter"
He did not reply; then went towards the
door, and when l got to the door saw that
he was cut in the neck, left side; l sat him
down in a chair; l told my brother to go
for the doctor; bsthed his wound with
cold water until the doctor arrived: / think
he was more weak from the loss Of blood
than tight; he did not say who cut him; he
was too weak to answer any questions.
The jury, after hearing the above testi-
mopy, returned the following
VERDICT.
That the said Thomas F. Murtagh came TO
his death from an incision made in his neck
on the left side by knife or pointed IL
strument IN the hands of party or parties
unknown, on the night Of the 10th list, A.
D. 1882, and we, the undersigned jurors,
consider Il murder.

The city is at present wretchedly lighted,
and general is the complaint on the subject.
During the past few weeks It appears that
very little attention has been given to the
street lamps. The shades are beprfmed
with dust and the nsphtha burners emit
a sicklY light, which casts scarcely
a reflection beyond the lamp-post. In vari-
GUS portions OF the city many of these
lamps are entirely extinguished before
eleven O'Clock, and by half-past two O'Clock
In the morning the streets are almost in
darkness. On Sunday night there were
nearly one hundred lamps entirely ex-
ttuguished by midnight, and last night on
Bay, Bryan, Congress, Broughton, St.
Julian, Barnard and Whitaker streets, iu
the most thickly settled portions
OF the city, there were dozens
OF these lamps, as early as eleven O'Clock
hickeriug and suffering In an sbomiusbIe
way, and only giving sufficient light to show
the location OF the posts. The com
plants Of our citizens have become so nm
merOus that we are induced to cali the
attention of the city authorities to this
matter, in the hope that some remedy will
be adopted to compel the contractors to
give better attention to the lighting OF the
street lamps. The Gas Committee OF Conn
ell, who have special Jurisdiction in the
premises, should take some heed of the
matter and see 70 Il that the requirements
OF the contract are carried out. Ash is,
there can ne no denying the assertion that
the streets OF Savannah are miserablv
lighted, and there is probably no CITY In the
Union of its size and Importance where sueh
condition OF affairs exist. Council will
meet tomorrow night, and It Is earnestIv
TO be hoped that this matter viii receive
the attention Il deserves, and which the
tax payers OF the community have a right
10 demand.

the GoIden PockIfDeton Cyepe.

The following letter, found IN the Marc1
number OF The Rural Ne1p Yorker, from Geo.
W. Campbell, OF Delaware, Ohio, who was
United States Commissioner to the Paris
Universal Exposition, in 1873, and who
made an elaborate and valuable report O;
the same, is worthy the attention of all who
are interested in grape culture, and propose
planting either for market or home use the
coming season.
GAS the season is approaching when many
persons will wish to plant some Of the newer
varieties of grapes, few words as to their
general character may be acceptable.
"'The Pocklington, how do you like It 2
has been seked OF LIE So often, / avail myself
OF the columns of the Rural Ne1D Yorker 10
give a more general reply than l could IN
separate answers to individual questioners.
l will say like its large size, both in bunch
and berry; the hardness, health and Con-
cord character of the vine, both in growth
and foliage; and | like 1t especially for
those qualities which promise to make
It both valuable and profitable as a
shipping and market grape. When
full ripe its color--a handsome
golden yellow-is quite attractive, the clus-
tiers are very large the skin Of the berries,
grape will bear handling and shipping, with
ordinarily good care, much better than the
Concord, or any of its seedlings within my
knowledge. Then thirk 1t will prove one
Of the best keepers. For two successive
years I have kept clusters of the PockIing-
ton in the ordinary temperature OF living
room for three months, and found them
neither to decay nor lose favor, and they
gradually dry into raisins. In flavor find It,
when fully ripened, more sugary and richer
than the Concord; but, unfortunately, it
has even more Of what is called the foxy
odor. This ! do not like In the Pocklng-
ton or any other grape. and although there
are many persons who relish this native
aroma and delightful Perfume to others
1t is specially unpleasant, and 1t is only to
the former class that the Pocklington would
be entirely acceptable. In brief, my opinion
Of the Focklingtou is, that while 1t Is not OF
the best quality, 1t is still good enough to
be generally popular as vineyard aud msr-
ket grape, and l believe 1t will be largely
planted, and take It's place as a standard
and useful variety" Address Henry Es-

Another IDquest-Death from Alec.
hOlEEna

Coroner Sheftall held an inquest yestei-
day in view of the body of VIM. o ien, who
was found dead in his bed on Sunday morn
ing. From the evidence before the jury,
which was very meagre, it appears that the
deceased was on the verge Of delirium
tremens on SATURDAY. night, and woke up q
Young man named Fisher, who slept with
him, about daylight, in one Of MS paroKysms.
He said some one was trying to break into
the house. He then asked his friend to get
him some water, which he did, and also
some whisky, and he brought up about a
pint. The deceased drank the whisky, but
did not drink the water. The witness
then left him to attend to his business, and
on his return in about half an hour found
him dead.
The jury returned verdict of death from
the undue use OF intoxicating liquors.

While the steamer st. Nicholas was lying
st her wharf at TYbee at six o'clock yester-
day morning, a gentleman named BsasleY

Rather expensive.

The very proper action taken by the sani-
tary Board Of this city yesterday, which
Is given in full in another column,
IN relation TO the closing Of the
SspelO quarantine station By the Ma
tIonaI Board Of Health, will meet
with universal appreciation. It is not 8
matter Of much importance whether the
National Board IS provided with funds
enough to publish its bulletin or keep up q
large expenditure, subiecting IL to sharp
criticism; but It is a matter OF very consider
able Importance that IL it has any money TO
use for the protection OF this coun-
tTy from the importation OF
yellow fever, smallpox ana cholera, refuge
quarantine stations, ike that which Sapelo
ought 70 be, should be maintained above all
other Of its machinery. The suggestion
that the appropriation law should be so
amended as TO compel a compliance with
this need win suggest itself to Congress as
a most prudent provision.
