THE FATAL PLUNGE OF AN IN
SANE MAN.
A COIOred Waiter seeks a Watery
Grave.

Several days since bright mulatto man
named John Smith, who was waiter on the
steamer st. Nicholas, was taken sick with
fever and was sent to the Infirmary for med
icsl treatment. 1t seems, however, he man.
aged to escape from that institution, as
he made his appearance at the steamer
on Saturday night last, coatless and
locking wild and haggard, and BY his
talk and his actions with the crew indi-
Gated he was at least temporarily insane.
He spoke Of making the water his home In
the future, and INDUCED in other wild ex-
pressions. When he was told by one of the
hands on the steamer that he was joking,
he replied to wais aud he would see, but
finally he took off his clothes and went to
bed on the steamer.
The watchman on the wharf. fearing that
the man might come from his berth at any
moment and make an attack on him, exer-
cised more than usual vigilance. About
four O'Clock on Sunday morning the watch
man heard a sudden and heavy splash In the
water, apparently caused by some one jump
ing or falling overheard. Shortly after the
occurrence search was made for the waiter
and 1t was found that he was not In his
BERTH though his hat and shoes were found
there. The impression is that he jumped
overheard, as the Waterman Is satisfied
tn # he could not possibly have left the boat
without being seen by him.
Smith was about twentY-six years old,
was a native of Americas, Ca, and had
been running on the steamer some three
months, and had the reputation of being
good, reliable man.

There has long been complaint among
the residents on the southern and south
western suburbs of the city in regard to the
insufficiency Of light in that growing por-
ton of the city, and numerous petitions
have been addressed to the City Council on
on the subject; but on account of the
expense then very little was done.
The city proper is now lighted with
the naphtha oil lamps, and as the cost is not
very great, it Is claimed that some attention
should be given the residents and tax
PAYERS in the locality named. Twenty five
or fifty of these lamps judiciouslY placed
would be a very decided convenience and
protection in that section, and the cost
would be light in comparison with the bene-
fit derived. We hope that the Gas Com
mittee will give prompt attention to the
matter and make recommendation to Coun-
ell on the subject. By all means let there be
more light.

Mr.. Warren Hastings Hughes, a
brother of the founder of Rugby Colony
in Tennessee, denies very explicitly the
report of the exodus of the settlers and
the failure of the colony. He states that
since the organization of the colony,
eighteen months ago, its success as a
whole has been satisfactory The posi-
bilities of the country were greatly over
drawn at first, and, of course, those who
first focked there were sadly disap-
pointed. and they greatly exaggerated
its deficiencies Many young men went
there who could make no livelihood in
England, with the idea that they could
succeed there without work, and this has
been a great drawback to the colony.
These drones have now been fairly
well rooted out, and the present inhabi-
tants are of a class that can and will
work. He regards the future as very en-
couraging, and feels assured of the sue
cess of the colony, Notwithstanding the
many predictions of its failure.

Down to Para DsmOrsIIzed Market

There was considerable excitement yes
terday In the stock market caused by
the sudden weakening Of Central,
which early in the day dropped from 1O31k
to par. The cause Of this decline is vari-
ously accounted for, but It is unnecessary
to give the different rumors. The fall,
however, was not unexpected by the
shrewd ones, but It had dis
sstrous effect on number Of
small spectators who are Squeezed out. I"
The uncertainty IN regard to the June divi-
6aud Is attributed as one OF the causes.
Yet the sales were quite large, seven hun
bred shares being reported as sold. II is
stated that some offerings were made as
low as 81, but we have no su-
thentic account Of sales being made
sicslly worth more, and this IS the
general belief, vet it has no effect on the
price, and It Is feared It may still go lower
before a reaction takes place. That 1t will
eventually advance seems to admit of no
doubt, but when is q mOoted question. The
market closed active last evening at 100 bid,

Bay street merchant, who was convinced
that the stock would decline further.
contracted 70 deliver one thousand
shares to broker at 10 during the first
week OF May for a consideration. Yester-
day he delivered the stock, which cost him
considerably below that figure. and received
s check for $4,000. The party to whom it
was delivered will lose ten dollars on the
shsre-a pretty heavy loss.
There were no changes IN other stocks
and bonds worth noting, and very little was
done in other securities.

The Late Complimentary Concert 10
Miss BraceWeII.

Editor Morning NeaOS: Although rather
late, l trust you will permit me small space
in your journal to express the qualification
l, with others, experienced in attending the
complimentary concert rendered Miss Berta
Bracewell at st. Johns Parish Hall on Fri
day evening last under the auspices Of the
Choral Association. The programme was
very excellently arranged and beautifully
executed. Miss Bracewell was never in
better voice, and her birdlike tones de-
lighted the audience. Mrs. King and Mrs.
Cleveland sang exquisitely, and Messrs
Peek and Dougan surprised even their
friends, while Messrs. Rebarer and King
in their duet seemed to surpass
all former efforts. Messrs. Ward,
Harden and Graef were in splendid voice,
and were highly eomplimented by the sp-
preciative audience. Mr.. Douglass afforded
rare enjoyment by his skillful and artistic
playing on the violin, but the greatest treat,
probably, was Mr.. Vogel's solo on the
Either. 1t is the first time this gentleman
had favored a Savannah audience, and l sin
cerelY trust that the enthusiastic reception
given him at this concert will induce him to
favor us again at the earliest opportunity.
1t was perfectly beautiful and kept the audi
ence spellbound. Not until the last note
had died away was there a sound, and then
their pent-up feelings found vent In per-
feet shower of applause. Upon the whole
1t was one OF the pleasantest concerts ever
given in Savannah and would bear repeti-
