4 sTRANG q PRISONER.
\ Negro who Couldn't Account foe
Himself to the Police.


Policeman Sullivan took to the barracks
last night aone-armed colored man, whom
ne found asleep at Barnard and State
streets. The policeman stated that be
had not been able to get any Ineligible
answers from the man, whom he did not
think was drunk, but who certainly was
not able to take care of himself.
To questions the man answered that his
formerly lived at HalcyOndale, on the
Central railroad. He had only one arm,
and he said that he came to Savannah 10
get work. He claimed to be a school
teacher and stated that he taught school
from 1851 TO 1850. AS he only claimed to
be q years old, his statement about the
time when he taught sounded rather i'm
probable. His answers We're cOntradic-
tory, and he did not appear to know what
he was doing or saying. He denied that
ne was drunk and could not tell what was
the matter.
Sergt. killourhy and a NEWS reporter
carefully diagnosed Smiths case. and
came to the conclusion that he must have
taken some drug. Several letters and
postal cards addressed to George L. Camm
were found in the mans pockets. When
asked if he knew Camm he replied that 1t
was his own name.
DR.. Owens was sent for and after d.
agn0slng the case he pronounced it soft
euing of the brain or possibly malaria.
Camm will probably be sent to the
Georgia lnfrmary To-day.

HUNGRY AND PENNILESS.

A Mother and Children Begging for
Place to stay and be Cared for.
The total inability of the city and coun-
by TO provide for tue destitute on account
Of not having suitable institution was
shown yesterday in most pitiable man.
ner. Thursday night white woman
with two little children arrived in the CITY
from WaycrOss.
The woman was partly paralyzed aud
penniless. To make matters worse she
aud her children were hungry and in "a
tair way to starVe unless relieved by the
Charitable. She inquired at the depot for

that she came 10 Savannah 10 be cared
for, supposiug that there was some home
or Institution here where she and her lit
Gle ones would be taken care OF. She said
that her name was Haverston. DR.. Dun
can regretted that there was no place to
send her, as the city mad no Institution
where II could provide for her.
The hackman was in dilemma. He
did not know where to take the woman,
and he did not want to turn her and her
children out on the street. A kind lady
who heard of the case suggested th at the
woman and her little ones be sent to the
barracks until morning. Although the
barracks Is not intended for any such
purpose, there was no objection TO letting
Fer stay over night. In the morning
the children seemed half starved and so
pitiable was their condition that some OF

The Grading Almost to Wilmington
Riyer-Pushing the Work.
The construction hands on the Savan-
nah and Tybee railroad were made happy
yesterday by receiving their pay five days
in advance. The contractor had fixed
Sept. Is for pay day, and the workmen
were agreeably surprised to receive their
pay SO soon.
Work on the road Is progressing finely.
The grading force will soon reach VIII
mington river. In week or two the
company expects TO start force OF men
on the eastern end of the line, and have
the work pushed from both ends. The en-
bankment across Lawton's field, east of
the Bilbo canal, is pretty well COM
pleted, and the cuts at Bruton Hill and
Caston's Bluff are well under way. Very
little grading had to be done across the
Bruton Hill and Deptford plateau. The
entertainments rapidly become solid and
firm, even in the marshes. The road will
be bsllasted with the sand taken from the

made 1t a time 10 be remembered Roads and
railroads were made impossible. This cold wave
swept the continent from the Rocky Mountains
to the extremity of Florida, where the frost was
such as to destroy the oranges if not the trees
and to make winter fugitives wish themselves in
Southern California. The great Pacific seems the
only barrier against these overilows from within
the Arctic circle, which must start at tempera-
ture 100 below zero, and Were it not for the
latent heat made sensible by the sudden conden-
sation of the abundant vapor in our atmosphere,
life would perish before them. Had we been left
to the influences of our own surroundings, the
abundant moisture in both earth and air would
probably have given us a mild winter, but this
very mildness may have brought down upon us
the fierce invasion of the polar blasts. There the
warm ir rises, the vacuum must be filled by
rush of heavier cold air along the surface. So
here is a new element for our calculations when
all conditions seem to promise an unusually mild
winter then fortell hard one.
