Some time after the Superior Court met
yesterday morning the room was found to
be very cold, and nearly every person in
the room suffered some inconvenience, in
asmuch as the fires had not been
started long enough to heat
the apartment properly. Judge
Adams took occasion to remind the Sheriff
that the servants about the building must
in the future be required to make the fires
at least two hours before the time APP
pointed for the meeting of the court. and
that it was an outrage on the court and
jurors to be obliged to sit in a room where
it was uncOmfortably cold owing to the
neglect of the servants about the court

To All Whom 1t MAY Concern.

Be it known that for reasons previously
stated in these columns, have decided
on still further reduction in the prices
of my Clothing, Hats and Furnishing
Goods, and invite particular inspection of
my $40, $12, $50 and SIS Wool Suits, the
very best ever offered for the money. Fine
dress suits cheaper than anywhere in the
city. A very large line of Underwear to
be sold at a sacrifice.
Regarding the quality of my goods, it is
not necessary for me to blow about; the
people of Savannah know well the class
of goods l have been selling here for a
long number of years, and | have en-
deavored to improve on them every year.
This is no advertising dodge, come and
convince yourself of the fact, and if you
have a dollar to invest, you are certain
to get dollar and twenty-five cents
worth for it, Sign of Golden Arm, 159

A small Fire on Wilson Street.

Yesterday morning about $3.50 O'Clock
fire was discovered in the roof of a kitchen
attached to the residence occupied by
Mrs. c. O'Brien on Wilson street, near
Walker street. Some of the employees of
the Central Railroad machine shop
promptly saved the structure by means of
buckets of water, which quenched the fire
after about two or three feet of the shingles
were burned. An alarm sounded from
box No. 80 was speedily responded to by
the members of the fire department, but
their services were hardly required under
the circumstances. The damage to the
building was trifiing.

A MORNING News reporter was stand
ing at the corner of Bay and Bull streets,
in front of the custom house, yesterday
afternoon, just after the frozen rain on
the sidewalks had begun to take effect on
the hurrying pedestrians, when he spied
a well-knOwn citizen, of cOrpulent build,
feeling his way along the treacherous
walk and carrying a big umbrella to pro-
tect his shining beaver from the precipitat-
ing dew. When he reached the
corner and turned to go out Bull
street his feet struck the slanting
walk, which has been worn deep
into the stone by the tread of thousands,
His beaver slid to the back of his
head as one hand clutched at the iron
fence in front of the Revenue Office; his
umbrella made a dart for the City EX-
change; his coat-tail spread out like a
patent shelf around a stOVe-pipe; his legs
twisted around like the needle Of COM
pass trying to find the North pole, and as
he struck the hard, unfeelIng Vermont
pavement, he exclaimed, "Well, | didn't
know" and spying a young bOOtblack
with his hands TANNED into his pocketless
trousers standing a few feet away with
grin on his face that showed his worries
clear to the back of his jaw, the
citizen ground his teeth and Missed in an
undertone to the guileless ''shiner'':
''Why the ID didn't you tell me l was
going to slip up?' eyer didn't; yer sOt
down." was the reply. The citizen didn't
even laugh; he cO~ldn't see anything
funny about it, and, rubbing his back in
the region Of his spine, he gathered up
his umbrella and battered beaver and
shuffled back down Bay street, scowling
at the innocent sidewalk and trying to
make out a case for damages against the
city.

Most of our readers have thought very
little of the fact that in the emulation
they see clinging to the sweet gum tree IN
the hot summer months there is princi-
ple that is considered the most powerful
stimulating eXpectorant known. They
have no doubt thought less of the fact that
in the mullen plantseen in the old fields is
a mucilaginous substance that acts as
soothing demulcent on the inflame,, ar
faces of the lungs, and which has attract
ed the attention of the medical world in
consequence Of its wonderful effects on
consumption. When these things are
considered it is not surprising that "Tay-
lor's Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and
Mullein," the great panacea for Coughs,
Group, Whooping Cough and all Bronchial
Affections, is proving such boon to those
suffering. For sale by all leading drug

ADJUSTMENTS.
Dion BoucicauIt in THE shaughraun''
4 Splendid Performance.

Dion BOucicault in THE Shaughraun'-
\ Splendid Performance.
Dion Boucicaults impersonatiOn of
"Conn, the Shaughraun," assisted by one
OF the most excellent supporting COM
panies of the season, at the Theatre last
night, gave, as it never fails to do, most
unmistakable satisfaction to the audience.
Since its first introduction at Wallack's
New York Theatre the play and its
authors impersonation OF its leading
role have never lost their place in
the favor of the play-gOing public, and
probably never will. Both the plot and
the unique scenic effects are as familiar
as the name of the play. The members of
the present company are in every instance
capable and careful, and the entertain
ment runs smoothly and satisfactorily
from beginning to end. Like Fritz"
there can never be but one 'Shaugh-
raun," and that one is Mr.. Dion
BOucIcault. Mr.. A. II. Forrest as ''Capt.
MOlineauX," the part in which the late
Harry Montague captivated all the ladies
of New York, both acted and looked the
part Of the handsome young English Off
Ger most successfully. Messrs. Kent,
Sutton, Wilks and the other gentlemen of
the cast were equally well received,
Messrs. Kent and Sutton being particu-
larly worthy of mention. Among the
ladies the leading parts fell to the lot of
Mrs. Maddox, Miss ThOrne and Miss
BOucicault, the latter the daughter of the
author, and that their representations
were eminentIy satisfactory was cOnclu-
sively demonstrated by the frequent
plaudits of the audience. Mrs. Barker,
Miss Morton and Miss Walsh were also
well received in their respective parts.
The entertainment is excellent in every
feature.
MiacO's Humpty Dumpty and Speciality
Company will be the next attraction on
| Thursday night. The sale of seats will
begin tomorrow morning.
