a long time. and the parties that were there
had an left: Mr.. Fairchild and myself stood
al the door nearest to Abercorn street, ana
several shots were fred from the square or
near there: Mr.. Fairchild pulled out MS
pistol. and said, "shsll I answer IT." per.
suaded him not tn use It, and persuaded
him to 90 home: walked back 70 the staoie,
and thought Fairchild started 70 go nome
he left the stable on the side toward Dray-
ton street; in q very short time after that
heard shots fred, and Immediately l heard
some one call him; ran to the other door
al the stable and saw this young Henderson
living there: picked him up, put him In a
carriage and carried him home; Fairehilo
wss in the country all day, and came
back about dark; he was consldersoy
under the influence of liquor; drank twice
ont of bottle he had, and taken
another out of Robinson's flask; the drinks
he took were very large-about tWo-tniros
of a whisky glass, without any water sTter
II: saw him chase w. Starr around the STA
BILE with pistol; never saw Fairchlio drunk
before: he wanted to answer with his pistol
a shot fired outside; lhe drank the WHISKY
voluntarily: no one forced him TO drink; MS
manner after drinking In the stable led me
to think that he did not know what ne was
doing; his condition was that he was acting
one time like sober man and 81 another
time like fool; he wrote an order for the
payment of the buggy when he nrst came
before he took the three drinks; he was so
intoxicated that had to assist him several
times from falling down.

The stan of LIfe-Where 30 Get IL
Fresh and Good.

II, as the trite maxim goes, "bread is the
staff Of life,r 1t is well to know where that
very nee sssary article can be procured
fresh and of the best quality. There is
great difference in bread, as much in the
making and baking as in the quality OF
material used; but when the quality is the
best, and It is well made and thoroughly
baked, and you can get your loaves fresh and
crispy there is nothing more in this line 70 be
desired. In this connection we would refer
the attention of our readers to the adver-
tisement elsewhere OF Mr.. Thomas Nugent,
who, some three years since, established a
bakery in this city, and by strict attention to
business and the use of the best material
aud the employment Of the best bakers, has
built up a large custom. In returning
his thanks TO the public for the liberal
patronage extended him, Mr.. Nugent an
nounces that he has now full force OF
first class, competent workmen, and is better
prepared than ever to furnish his customers
with superior bread-home made, rye,
graham, etc. He also introduces the cele-
brated Centre wheat -four" which is pro-
nounced invaluable for dyspeptics, and is
reliable food for infants. The bread and
-four can be obtained at all times at 1872
Bryan street, aud deliciously hot bread,
rolls, ETC., may be had every evening at six
O'Clock. A trial will satisfy any one that
the merits OF the bread and other articles
turned out from Nugent's bakery is not
overrated. Give him a call and test for

Accidentally Drowned.

A colored boy. about eighteen years old,
took passage on the steamer Katie on her
upward trip for Grifin's landing, and, It
appears, went asleep on some Of the goods
on deck on Wednesday night. He was
aroused from his slumbers by the night
Waterman of the boat when the steamer
was In the vicinity Of Johnson's landing.
At about two O'Clock on Thursday morning
the cook heard some one crying for help,
and, upon looking to see from whence
the cries proceeded, discovered the
boy In the water. Before be could render
assistance the boy sank and did not come to
the surface again, as his cries ceased. 1t is
not known how he fell in the river, but the
supposition is that he walked overboard
while partially asleep or was lying near the
edge Of the steamer and rolled overheard.
The name OF the unfortunate lad or where
he lived is not known.

Interesting 70 Fruit and Vegetable
Shtppers-The Dock IL Lighted.

In our report Of the recent meeting OF
gentlemen interested in the shipment OF
fresh vegetables, it was stated in the course
OF the proceedings that the New York dock
Of the Ocean Steamship Company was lot
lighted, and that the ships were never dis
charged st night Of their vegetables and
fruit. We are informed by the agent Of the
company here, General sorrel, that the
speakers fell into error. The deck is well
lighted By gas. and Mr.. Yonge, the New
York agent, has been always ready to meet
the wishes OF the receivers when made
known 70 him. The City Of Augusta was
due last night IN New York, and telegram
70 General SOrrel states that her vegetables
were to be discharged Immediately on ar
rival.
We are gratifed in being able to make
this correction, which comes directly from
the company. The company, we are In
formed, views with friendly and encourag-
ing interest the effort for organization by
the vegetable growers as conducive TO tie
interests Of growers, dealers and carriers,
and we are assured It will not be found
wanting In attention to this large and grow
ing traffic.

The Shooting fl air I'm Charleston.
CHARLESTON, s. c., March 17.-Editor
Morning Nea0s In the Savannah MORNING
News of the Is h instant see a statement
under telegraphic dispatches which reflects
very much upon me. As a Savannah boy,
l do not desire that nay friends should labor
under such an erroneous impression.
The first part of the dispatch is strictly
correct, but the portion as follows is decided
ly wrong, viz
To-day, as he (Kingmap) was approach
ing his place of business, Waripg followed
him and opened fire on him from across
the street. He (KingmaD) thereupon re-
turned the fire with results stated above"
The true statement is this, which can be
verified by others: AS / was coming from
my place Of business reached the corner of
King and Hasel streets, aud saw hingman
going towards his place Of business !
walked towards him in order to hail him.
As was about to do so he turned, saw me,
and advanced about fifteen feet. ! then
asked him distinctly, care YOU armed 2" He
Immediately said; "Do you draw pistol
on me 20 and ran behind large barber post.
We drew our pistols about the same time,
and began fring-he from behind the post,
which covered his whole body, and l from
across the street, in a clear, open space,
which is entirely different from following
him and firing from the rear, az your dis
patch would lead one to suppose.
By inserting this In your earliest issue
you viii oblige your obedient servant,
L. G. WAXING.

Interesting Religious Services at
ArmOTy HalI-Able Discourse By
EInar II T. GueenaH.


Another large and catering audience,
embracing some Of the best citizens Of our
city, greeted the Rev. z. T. Sweeney at
Armory Hall last night. The speaker is
young man about thirty years Of age, and
possesses q clear voice, easy manner and
vigorous orstorY. He also possesses the
happy faculty of getting Immediately on
the best Of terms with his audience, and
establishing a conviction on the part Of his
hearers that he is in earnest and feels the
truth of what he says.
We heard many remarks OF hearty ap-
proyal last night as the audience left the
hall after the services, which showed that
his effort had been most fsvorably received.
His subject was "The Foundations of
Christian Belief" and his address was an
sble and convincing demonstration Of the
truth of the common Christian faith.
At this early stage Of the week it must be
very gratifying to the speaker to see well
filed houses, aud We predict that as soon as
our citizens are aware Of his presence in our
midst the hall will be insufficient to accom-
modate his auditors. He breaches tonight
uoon "Faith and unbelief as potencies in
the world What each has done and is
doing for the political, social, domestic and
moral advancement of mankind"
