A Cold Wave Pred,oted

Whenever a cold wave strikes us we are
forcibly reminded that the winter season
isn't quite over by large majority, and
a good Overcoat feels rather comfortable.
Many a man would like to own one, but
don't care to buy a shoddy article, and a
good one costs generally too much. Now,
we've seen an OyercOat bought yesterday
otNour friend Mitchell, the popular
Clotnier, that was Of hrst.clasS material,
stylishly made, aud fitted az well US If one
OF our best merchant tailors had made it,
and the low price at which it was bought
astOnisbed Us. Mr.. Mitchell, we are in
formed has reduced the prices not only on
his fine OVercOats, but also on his nobby
Getaway Suits, his Straight-cuJ Suits,
and, in fact, on all his Dress aDd Business
Suits, Of which he has yet a large and
very select stock, to a minimum, and any
one in want of any article in his line can
be suited away below anybodys price.
Also Underwear, Rubber Coats, I'm
brellas, and Furnishing Goods generally.
can be bought very low of Simon Mitchell,

The Gate City's" Eventual Voyage-she
Encounters Furious Gales.

Encounters Furious Gales.
The steamship Gate City. from Boston,
tied up at her dock at O'Clock yesterday
morning, twenty-iour hours overdue.
All arriving vessels bring accounts of
heavy weather outside on the Ssh and 9th.
The Gate City ran into the first of the
I gale Friday night of the Chesapeake.
She was then one day out. The wind
blew tuuously from the southwest, finally
shifting 70 northwest. Tremendous seas
ran thirty and forty feet high.
For eight hours the steamer lay TO-.
During Friday night the gale was the
worst, though it did not lull much until
late on Saturday. The passengers had il
very rough. Hardly one escaped sea
sickness, The cold was intense, and az.
gravated the sickness. A big sea burst
IN some Of the side lights and drenched
the occupants OF the berths- Those in the
state rooms on the upper deck Jared bet
ter and escaped a Wetting, but were as
chilled and sick as any Of the others.
Some water broke into the maia saloon
aud damaged the carpets, but no serious
loss was sustained, and the snip rode out
the storm safely. Considerable ice formed
over her sides, but the most Of 1t came of
before getting into port.
Crusted from stem TO stern with ice and
snow ike some craft from Arctic seas,
the City OF Savannah steamed up the
river at noon. Her sides glistened, pre-
sentlng a most novel sight for this port.
she too had rough passage but not so
bad as the steamers that were out Fri
day night. Capt. Dsggetts passengers
had 1t unusually cold but he brought
them in on time. When the steamship
LETT New York snow was falling. The
gale had subsidized but the sea WAS very
rough, and the passengers thought they
had terribly rough trip until they got
ashore and read OF the City OF Augustus
trip. Then some Of them said they were
glad they did not sail on Thursday.
On the way to the hotels some OF the
hack and carriage drivers stopped their
teams to let the NOrtherners get a look at
the boys skating on the canal. Boys skat-
ing was not, of course, a curiosity to the
passengers, but the sight in a Southern
city is very rare.

Some folks are never happy unless com
planning. Many are complaining Of "dull
times" just now. Yet 10c are kept almost
as busy as usual. We don't know why,
but customers will come to us, and we can
only aatter ourselves that the quality Of
our clothing, our fsultless fits and low
prices are the inducements. We never
misrepresent or try to hoodwink the pub
lie, and the effect of a straightforward
course is very evident. We are Offering
some startling trades In OYercoats, and
as the worst part of the winter is still to

necessary garments can deal advantage

A Seaman on the Brig "Dsrpa' Re-
covers Damages.
Messre Beckett and Richards had
rather curious admiralty case before
Judge Speer yesterday Toward the
close of 1884 there arrived in the port OF
Savannah the British brig Darpa. A few
days before the vessel got in port a sea-
man named Charles Brohs was ordered
by the second mate to go aloft and oil the
mainmast. A bOatswain's chair was
rugged and Brohs was hOisted up. When
about 70 feet from the deck tae rope broke
and the man fell. One arm was broken
and he was otherwise injured. When the
Darpa got to Savannah BrOhs was sent TO
st. Joseph's lndrmary. He employed
counsel and libelled the vessel for dam-
ages, placing the amount at 81, 600.
When the vessel was ready 20 sail il is
alleged that The captain obtained q certi-
ficate from physician stating that Brohs
was able TO 20 TO sea. The certificate,
however, Get forth that BrOhs would not
be able to work for several weeks. After
the certificate was obtained Brohs was
released from the in1rmary and was
taken aboard Of the brig and put in the
stewards room. His counsel at once OBJ
tanned writ OF habe8s corpus and had
the seaman taken before Judge Adams Of
tue superior Court. The writ was dis
missed on the ground OF non jurisdiction,
and tue sailor was remanded into the
hands of the captain. The next day the
brig sailed Before sailing the captain
left an affidavit signed by Brohs stating
that he wished all further proceedings
stopped
Yesterday the case came up before Judge
Speer. Capt. Geo. A. Mercer represented
the defense. The counsel Tor the plaintiff
argued that the affidavit was made under
duress. and that II was no waiver for a
prosecution OF the suit. They did not
know where their client was, As he sailed
on the Darpa. The defense showed con-
tributory negligence on the part OF Brohs.
The officer remarked when he HANDED
Brohs the rope that be did not know
whether 10 was strong enough. Brohs re-
piled that he had used the same rope be-
fore and he guessed 10 was strong
enough.
The court rendered a decree In favor OF
the libellant for $3.50 damages ana costs

HEAVY GALES AT SEA.
Sailing Vessels Come Into Port Coated
With Ice-Many Wrecks Reported.

With ICe-Many Wrecks Reported.
The schooner Annie f. Blackman, Cap
tain Blackman, left New York Dec. -
with a cargo of coal for this port and ar
rived yesterday. She reports having had
fair weather up to Friday night, Jan. s.
when she encountered a severe gale from
north northwest, during which she split
her mainsail and had her decks swept
The vessel was covered with ice from the
sea washing over her and freezing. The
gale lasted until Monday. The vessel
rode out the gale at anchor without Bus-
tanning any other damage.
The schooner Mary +. Godfrey, from
New \ OrK, with a cargo of coal, arrived
here yesterday, also reports encountering
a succession Of heavy gales, but sustained
no damages 10 speak Of. The cold was
very severe and the vessel was coated
with ice.
An abandoned bark was sighted by the
Norwegian bark, Royal Visitor, on Fri
day morning, sixty miles 10 Southwark
and Eastward Of Martins Industry light
ship. Owing TO the gale that interviewed
on Friday night and since, the tug that
proposed looking after her did not 20 out
from Charleston. The prevailing north
west gale has doubtless driven her out OF
reach in mid-ocean.
The schooner Joel Cook, Capt. Spring
er, was wrecked on Saturday by going
ashore on the Third Cliff, OF Scituate,
Mass. The crew were rescued by the
crew of the Life Saving station after al
most supernuman exertiOns. The Joel
Cook has been trading at this port ever
since sue was built, and it was lust pre-
vious TO this her last voyage, that she
left here with cargo Of lumber, landing
it safely in Philadelphia. Capt. Springer,
her commander, is an old trader here
aud has many friends who will rejoice at
his fortunate escape from watery
