1NCENDIARIsM IN Savannah,
August 4.-lf n'community was ever justi.
fed in sustaining the acts of vigilants or
or regulators, this city would be now, had
il such an organization to discover aud shoot
down or string up inceudiaries. The authori-
lies have utterly failed to deal with the
problem. Three incendiary attempts were
made last week to burn the out places in
the business heart Of the city. A week be.
fore two incendiary fires were started, and
there were others which perhaps, ought
to be included in the list. Mayor Schwarz
has been worried no little. and sits up late
this, he goes around town at oil hours Of
the night with both eyes open. The mayor
says that if he catches an incendiary he will
shoot him down. Anything short of that
would be !enient treatment. Suspicious
fires have been exceedingly frequent Of late
and it is always well-insured property which
burns. An uninsured building would be abso-
lutely safe were it not for the nearness of
highly insured property. There have been
cases, and not rLre ones, when the incen-
diary could have been picked out with posi-
tive certainty. Insurance men would not
act, aud no ono else did. Some Vi these
incendiaries have left the city; others are
still here. If the authorities cannot pro-
tect property from the wretch with the
midnight match the citizens will have TO
look out for themselves, and they are about
IN the mood to organize secretly.-Special

Temperance at santuo. /.

Ma. ED,ToR.-The Santuc Division, 8. of
T. had call meeting Tuesday evening, July
3Oth, and it was Q very pleasant meeting
the most interesting have had the pleasure
Of attending, despite the inclement weather.
There was great deal Of important business
transacted. As brother ]. c. Sartor was
unable to attend regularly at night, he ex-
pressed wish not to hold tho Office Of r.
s., so brother E. Claude Jeter was elected
to fill the position. There was one member
initiated, aud seven more, three Of whom
arc ladies, awaiting initiation.
We had two very acceptable visitors from
Misses Fair Bolt and Eloise Stokes, who
impaired Q bright ray Of sunshine to our
hall.
We are growing, slow but sure, and ex-
pect to have q revival when the crops are
off our hands, as large majority of our
members are farmers think the reason
our Division does not grow any faster, ID
because Of the unwillingness on the part of
the ladies 70 join. We have but very few
ladies in our Division, aud everybody
knows that tue ladies have more influence
over the men aud boys Of community thar
any other factor in society, and IL they
don't use their influence over the young
men aud boys, the boys will be more than
liLely to select the very worst men Of their

HOMICIDE IN CoLuMBIA.-At twelve minutes
past o'clock Saturday evening Mr.. James
1. Clark, formerly Trial Justice in Lcxing-
ton Comfy, but for ayear past resident
of this city, was shot dow n and killed with
An ten steps Of the City Hall, by W. d.
Meetze, the keeper Of . livery stable on
Assembly street.
Thus briefly may be summarized the essen
tisl facts ofone of the most deplorable affairs
that has occurred iu this city in long
period.
THE CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING.
and the circumstances leading up to il, so
far as 1t has been possible 10 learn from
various sources, are as follows:
day or two ago, while calling on
friend, Mrs. Meetze, the wife Of the princi.
pal in the affair, was approached by an
uncle Of her husband, . Mr.. Douglas Meetze,
more familiarly known as "Dug" Meetze,
who lives in Lexington County, and handed
. note.
Mrs. Meetze refused to receive The note,
aud took the first opportunity Of informing
her husband in regard to the matt,r.
lie went to his uncle and demanded the
note, saying he ought to kill him (his uncle)
for bringing it.
The note was given him by Dug Meet1e,
who told him to kill if he wanted to. The
mole was as follows:
"MIss SoPHY-Dear Miss, want 10 meet
you and have private conversation. You
remember me we'll. can. sign my name.
Yours admiringly,
o."
MIR. MeeIzes relief was that the note
was meant for his wife at least, such is
his statement, though his wife's name Is not
Sophy but Minnie. His uncie had refused
to divulge who had sent the note, and said
he would be killed before he would. give the
information asked for.
Mr.. Meetze would have killed his uncle
then, but had no weapon.
For various reasons Mr.. Meetze thought
MIR. Clarke the person who wrote and sent
the note. He said he had frequently known
Mr.. Clark to write such notes, at his
(Meetze's) stable, and send them by the
stable boys. He also thought he recognized
Clarke, although some who have seen it aver
that it is written in different hand from
Mr.. Clark's.
Yesterday, Mr.. Meetze, who had become
greatly wrought up by what the considered
base iusult to his family honor, made threats
10 many parties, so it is now stated, that he
was going TO kill both Dug Meetze, his uncle,
and Clarke, on sight.
Dug Meetze said that he did bring the
note, but that II was meant for girl named
Sophy Fox, who has for n long time been
with MIR. W. B. Meetze's family, assisting
in the housework. That the note was writ
ten ty friend Of his, who h ad met the girl
before and wished to again. That he, Dug
Meetze, had told Mrs. Meetze to give the
note to "Sophy," when handingit to her,
but that she had laughed and told him to
carry it himself. He had also. so he said,
told Mr.. Meetze the note was for Sophy
when he gave it to him. lie refused to tell
who wrote the note, and did not say wheth-
er Mr.. Clark was its author or not, but told
the Chief that W. Is. Meetze suspected Clark.
