THE BLACK FAST.
The Events COmmemOrated by Israe-
lites With Mourning and Fasting.

The Events COMMUNICATED by Israe-
lites With Mourning and Fasting.
The Fast of Tisha Be-Ab, commonly
known as the Black Fast, kept by Israel
ties throughout the world, has just
closed. The dispersion and subsequent
terrible sufferings Of the Jews was begun
by the destruction of the first temple at
Jerusalem by NebuchadneZZaf, who af-
forwards carried the Israelites into cap
tlvity to Babylon. This was followed by
the destruction of the second temple by
Titus, with the ensuing dispersion of the
devoted race, attended by privations and
prosecutions of horrible nature. These
are the events which were commemo-
rated by the Fast of Tisha Be-Ab.
The condition of the Jews to-day isvery
different from what it was at the period
when this feast was originated. In
America, England, Germany and Italy
the privileges of citizenship are fully
conceded and extended to the Jews, and
it is therefore natural that they should
not entertain the same feelings of grief
for prosecutions which they do not eX-
perience as their fathers did. But in
countries such as Russia, Poland, Rou-
mania. Morocco and Eastern countries
the prosecutions are as terrible to-day as
formerly. In those countries on this day
the Jewish people keep the fast rigldly,
mourning and lamenting and praying
that the load may be removed.
SIS not this called the Black FastP
asked a reporter of a prominent orthodox
Israelite.
eyes, in contradistinction to the Fast
of the Atonement, which is the most
solemn fast of the year. That was ordered
by Moses, but the Tisha Be-Ab is not
MOsaical fast. The name Black Fast was
given, imagine, by the Germans on ac-
count of the general sombre tint of the
dress worn.'
"Does the fast always take place on
July 31T'
"No. 1t is a movable feast. The jew
ish months, like the months Of all Eastern
nations, are lunar, consequently we are
several DAYS short Of the Christian calen-
dar at the end of the year. We make up
up for it by adding a month once in three
years. Tisha Be-Ab generally occurs
towards the end July or early in August,
but not on the same day. The Mst of the
Atonement occurs in Septem Apr OctO-
bero
No food of any kind is partaSen Of by

THROWN FROM A TREsTLE.

A Savannah Travelling Man Injured in
the Macon and Brunswick Disaster at
PhinhOllOway Creek.
Among the passengers injured in the
Phinholloway creek disaster, on the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad Thursday
morning, was A. B. Solomons, travelling
salesman for Meinhard Bros. & Co., of
this city. Mr.. Solomons received a severe
confusion on the thigh, and was also
severely injured about his neck and head,
but fortunately escaped with no bones
broken. He was brought to the city on
Friday and removed to his home, No. IT'S
Waldburg street, where he was attended
by DR.. WeIchselbaum.
The accident occurred on trestle over
Phinholloway creek about miles from
Jesup. The train was made up Of abag-
gage and express car, several day coaches
and a sleeper. The cause of the accident
was a broken rail, which derailed the
first-class day coach and sleeper. The
train was running at full speed
the trestle on the cross ties, and
then rolled down a steep embankment,
landing bottom side up. All the
passengers were in the day coach. The
sleeper was unOccupIed. When it stopped
rolling at the foot of the embankment Mr.
SolomOns was jammed among the hat
racks in the top of the car, where he was
penned until released. Six other passen-
gers were injured: Capt. John A. Phil
lips, of Sterling; D. S. Sinclair, of Darien;
Mr.. Bonner, of New York, and two ladies.
Mr.. Sinclair had his leg broken in two
places near the ankle, Mr.. Bonner was
severely bruised about his head, and one
of the young ladies had one finger crushed.
The injured passengers were taken to
Jesup, where they were cared for until
removed to their homes. The track was
cleared of the wreck as quickly as possi-
BILE.
Mr.. Solomons is large man physically,
and it is probably due to this fact that
his injuries were less severe than they
otherwise would have been.

bound her to loving hearts, leaving an aching
void in the home circle which Time can never
fill, or years efface from the memory of those
who mourn her. She was beloved by all who
knew her; the life and joy of her mother, the
pride and comfort of her father, who was call
ed by an All-wise Providence five short
months before her.
We have loved the light Of many smile
that has faded from us now, and IN our hearts
have fingered sweet voices that are now hush
ed in the silence of death. It is indeed hard
TO realize that we can never see that bright
laugh on earth again, but God, who Is wise
and merciful, has seen fit to remove our bud OF
promise from this sphere, to be transplanted
to his own beautiful garden.
The bird-like voice, with joyous tones,
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now m everlasting song
Amid the Tree Of Life.
Though we mourn our darling here,
We know her spirit full of love,
An angel bright and fair,

DIED IN THE STREET.
A Strangers Death in a Wagon on the
Way to the Hospital.


Way to the Hospital.
About 1880 O'Clock Friday night, Henry
Beames, a carriage and house painter,
employed by John 7. Murtagh, corner of
Congress and Drayton streets, was going
out Abercorn street, when he was sud
denly Frustrated by illness. He was
taken in a wagon in the direction of the
st. Joseph's Infrmary and died in the
vehicle about the time it reached its des-
tinatiOn. The remains were taken in
charge by the Sisters. Coroner Sheftall
was notified and directed that the body
be sent to the morgue. where an inquest
was held yesterday morning, the jury, in
their verdict, attributing death to heart
disease. From the testimony 1T appears
that the deceased was a native of Toronto,
Canada, where his parents reside, and
that he was about 40 years of aee. He
came to Savannah about six months ago
and obtained employment with Mr.. Muir
tagh. He proved to be a steady and in
dustrious man. About a week ago he
complained of feeling unwel and at
tempted to doctor himself. He continued
to feel indispOsed, but on Friday was
able to do some work on house at the
corner of Abercorn and New Houston
streets. Mr.. Murtagh stated that he saw
him there shortly before O'Clock, and
that. when leaving the building, after 6
O'Clock, the deceased took two or three
empty paint pots, with the intention of
leaving them at Mr.. Murfagh's shop.
While walking down AbercoTn street he
was attacked by the fatal symptoms and
died before reaching the Infirmary. Mr..
Murtagh knew nothing Of his death until
yesterday morning, when he was notified
by the Coroner and went to the Infrmary
and identified the remains. The Coroner
made an examination of the personal ef-
fects of the dead man and found letters
which indicated that he had wife living
at Richmond, Va, and that his parents
were living in Toronto, Canada. The re-
mains were incased in a coffin by under
taker GOette and inferred in Laurel Grove
Cemetery.
