The Railroad Commission - The
Circular Must stand.

Mention was made in the MORNING NEWS
several days since of the efforts on the part
of the several railroads, including the
Central and Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, to induce the Railroad Commission
to withdraw Circular No. 20. 1t was alleged
that the enforcement Of the rates imposed
by this circular would injurously affect the
railroads. The Commission has given con-
siderable time to the examination Of these
questions, aud, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing, which we find in the Atlanta papers,
have decided unfavorably:
"The Railroad Commission held a called
session Thursday, at which all the members
were present, and during which decision
upon several important matters were con-
sidered. The different requests from
several railroads TO withdraw Circular 20,
reducing rates on grain and -four, and from
other railroads and the Express Company to
withdraw Circular 81, reducing express and
extra baggage charges, were declined.
These two circulars will be put in force on
April 1st."

We regret exceedingly to announce the
death of Edward P. Henderson, which oc-
CURED at his fathers residence Saturday
night at 10 o'clock On the Goth of December
last this promising youth, whilst playing In
Oglethorpe square. was shot by w. G. Fair
child. The particulars of the sad affair are
known to our readers, aud It is unnecessary
to recapitulate them here.
We understand from DIR. j. g. Thomas,
the attending physician, that this case
has presented some OF the most
remarkable features in surgery he has ever
encountered In his experience. The ball,
which was fired from medium size Smith
& Wesson pistol, entered young Hender-
sons left side, over the crest illium, ranging
apparently In direct line towards the right
side. The wound produced instant pain in
the centre OF the abdomen, region of the
navel, creating the impression that the
bowels had been punetured, and that the
cavity of the abdomen had been entered.
Peritonitis superyened on the sec
ond day, which was, however, sub
dued In three or four days. Subsequently
an abscess formed between the balls of the
abdomen, and an operation was performed
through the rectum and two pints of pus
were drawn of, which afforded the patient
relief for three weeks, aud the indications
were apparently favorable to his recovery.
Recently, however, he was taken with severe
pains In the back, and suffered intensely.
This was followed by fever, and he gradual
ly declined until last evening, when the hand
of death was laid upon him-two months
and twenty DAYS after he was shot.
The news Of his death will be heard with
general regret throughout this entire COM
munity, and the deeply bereaved family
have the sincere sympathy Of our people.
1t is remarkable coincidence that Presi-
dent Garfield was shot about eight o'clock
on the morning of the I'd Of July and died
on the night of the 10Th of September
at ten O'Clock, after suffering for seventy
seven days, and the wound was similar
to that inflicted on young Henderson, who
was shot about eight O'Clock on the
night of the 26th OF December and died
at ten O'Clock Saturday night, eighty days
after, having survived his wound only three
days longer than the President.
Coroner Sheftall was notified of the death,
and at eleven O'Clock Saturday NIGHT
lodged his commitment against Fairchild,
charging him with murder. Fatrcbild has
been confined in jail under commitment OF
Magistrate Molina, on the charge OF assault
with intent to murder.
A post morton examination was held yes
terdaY morning by DR.. W. G. Bulloch and
DR. B. F Sheftall, and the ball was found
firmly embedded in the lower part Of the
spine.
The funeral will take place this afternoon
at o'clock, from the residence on CASTOR
street.
An examination will be held this morning
at 10 O'Clock at the court house, and jurors
and witnesses who have been summoned
are requested to be prompt in attendance.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Chas. Debele, the

10 push the spring into position, when the
hammer fell, dischsrging the weapon, the
ball entering the centre Of the left palm,
ranging obliquely through the ieshy part
and came out at the side. The ball was
a large size and inflicted an ugly wound.

Another AccIdeut-A IIOred Dame
Gets an Unexpected Bath.

The wharf Of the steamer Katie is pro-
life field for lively Items. Scarcely a day
passes that something does not transpire
there that furnishes a sensation of some kind,
hence 1t is a favorite place. Saturday
afternoon about half-past four O'Clock an
incident occurred which occesioned con-
siderable excitement. An old colored
damsel was meandering around the
wharf picking up chips and approached
fat which was lying moored to the slip.
In reaching for piece of wood she rested
her hand on the side OF the fat. When
buffeted by the tide the fat swung out
from the slip causing the OLD woman to loose
her balance and tumble into the river.
Luckily her clothes kept her sh Dat momen-
tarily, and q man who had seen her
fall rushed quickly to her assistance and
succeeded in ringing her to terra tiTma.
She was considerably "weTted," so to speak,
and thoroughly demoralized by her unex-
epected cold bath, being unable to utter a
word for some minutes.

Belated Passengers Trying to Run
Down q Steamship.

Rather an amusing sight was witnessed
on the river, at about five and a half O'Clock
on Saturday afternoon, as the steamship
City of Augusta was going out. 1t seems that
two gentlemen, who had secured passage on
the steamship, were left, and hired two
small boats to try to overtake her before
she got too far down the river and board
her. One of the boats succeeded in catch
ing up with the steamship, and the belated
passenger climbed up a ladder and was
pulled safely on board. The rover In the
other boat made frantic efforts to reach her,
bat was unsuccessful, and the passenger
was compelled to return and postpone his
departure for another time,
