Fonnn lr.oating on tnn mao.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon the
body OF an unknown white man was
found floating with the tide opposite the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
wharf. II was secured and lowed along
side the Norwegian brig j. Williams. The
Coroner was notified and an inquest was
held. a verdict OF death by drowning
was rendered.
Tho circumstances were unknown to
the jury. Nobody could identify the re-
mains, but from the dress 1t was sup
posed they were those of sailor. The
body was that of a lOw-sized man. and
bad on low-quarter suOes, pants, and a
shirt laced 40 in the front and black
rravat. The face was partly eaten away,
and the head was badly bruised, 80 much
so that it was difficult to distinguish
whether it was that of a white man or a
negro. The body was very much decom-
posed, which made its immediate burial
necessary. 1t was buried in Laurel
Grove cemetery late last evening,

savannah's Team AII Right.

Some alleged well-pOsted Savannahian
has been up in Atlanta telling the people
there that the Savannah public is down
on its club, and is Disguised with its poor
playing.
fhe Constitution prints an interview
with him in the course of which he is
quoted as saying: "The home people are
badly disguised with the work OF the
Savannah team. The people, as well as
the twelve men who compose the assOcla-
ton. had been led to expect much from
Manager Morton and his hih priced
team, but the succession OF defeats in Ten
nessee has demonstrated the weakness of
the nine, and completely demOralized tn e
supporters of base ball in Savannah"
SRVannah's standing in the league
shows how poor playing the club has
been doing. All such sort of talk as the
alleged well-pOsted Savannahian is giving
vent to is nonsense. There are always a
lot of croakers who seek to belittle every
thing, and the Constitut iOn man evidently
struck up with one of this class.

from tie Ph9Idde5phS9 I3DteS.
One of the mo st interesting OF the many
conspicuous characters on Chestnut
street during the past winter, and who
may be seen any pleasant afternoon on
the favorlte promenade of the city, is
Capt. Clark, the volunteer life guards
man OF Atlantic City. He is heavy set
man, of about medium height. His face
has been bronzed by the sun and wind
until 1t is as dark as an Indians, 1t would
be hard to guess his age
because his heavy mOustache and
thick head of hair are died as
black as ravens wing. His well
knit form is gorgeously clothed when
he is on the promenade. His coat is Of
black velvet, his vest of white duck and
his trousers OF cream-c0lored doeskin. He
wears patent-leather pumps, shining
beaver cooked over his left ear and pro-
fusion of jewelry. HIS favorite necKtie is
OF flaming red, and just beneath it, on his
| immaculate shirt front, is an enormous
star studded with Rhinestones as big as
hazelnuts. On his vest is an immense
badge awarded to him for saving twenty
six lives in the surf at Atlantic City.

appreciative audience. 81 have met a
