GEORGE F. BYRNBS DEAD.
A Well-Known Citizen and Business
Man Taken Of.

Man Taken Off
George f. Byrnes, well and favorably
known in steamboat and mercantile circles,
died at 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon at his
residence, Congress and Houston streets,
from a complication of diseases of the
stomach and liver after an illness of four
weeks
MIR. Byrnes had been in failing health for
the last year, and about four weeks ago he
was induced to visit Tallulah Falls, with the
hope that the change would be beneficial.
Two weeks ago he had a severe sick spell
and it was thought best to bring him home
where he could be under the closer attend
ance of his family physician. His condI-
ton seemed to improve under treatment
until last Thursday, when he was taken
worse, and death ensued yesterday.
The deceased was of a quiet turn, with
strong friendships, scrupulously honest in
his dealings, and by strict application &c
cumulated very handsome estate. He
was at the time of his death the proprietor
Of grocery at Congress and Houston
streets, operated Byrnes' marine railway
and conducted a towing and lighterage
business, owning the tugs Seminole, Maggie
and Samuel Winpenny and several lighters.
Mr.. Byrues was in his seth year, and
native of Dublin, but was brought to this
country by MS parents WDen d cullu, land
ing in New YORK.
The deceased came to Savannah before
the war, where he was employed as an engi-
neer. During the war he was In the con-
federate service running the blockade to
bring supplies to the beleaguered confeder-
acy.
The deceased was popular among the
people, and two years ago could have been
elected on the aldermanic board, but
peremptorily refused to become a candi-
date. He was member of the
Catholic church, and one of the Jealous
members of the Ancient Order of Hlber-
mans. He was we'll known for his many
| charities, which were unostentatiously bt :
| slowed. He leaves a wife and six children,
four sons and two daughters, the youngest
| beiQg but fourteen months of age.
The funeral services will be conducted at
the Cathedral at 3 AS o'clock this afternoon
and the remains will be inferred in the
| Catholic cemetery.

e. &. Vail One Of the First Applicants.
The De Soto to Open in October.
E. E. Vail, who ran the old st. Angus
tine hotel up to the time it was burned and
who conducted the hotel at Jupiter Inlet,
Fla, last season, wires Watson & Powers
from New York that he will reach Sayan-
nah Tomorrow with view of leasing the
Pulaski house Mr.. Vail was in Savannah
on the day Watson & Powers leased the
De Soto, and lie at once gave them to under
stand that if they wanted to lease the Pulaski
he wanted a chance
Mr.. Powers intended sailing for New York
yesterday, but by request will remain here
until Mr. Wallis arrival Mr.. Vail is an
old and experienced hotel man, and if he
takes the Pulaski it is quite likely that he
will associate his son with him in the man
agement. The young man has been chief
clerk Of the Ponce de Leon for the last
three seasons, and is now chief clerk in the
Long Beach hotel in the north.
1t is thought by Watson a. Powers that
they will open the De Soto earlier than
Nov. 3, the date first announced. They
think they will open the new hotel about
the middle of October, and the matter is
about settled, as the De Soto will have to
entertain the delegates to the National Con-
vention of Manufacturers of Gas Machinery

OLD SOL COOLING oFF.
The Weather Takes an Unusual Turn
a General Rainfall.

u G6uCE6i RAINFALL
July weather is uncertain this year. Yes
terday came very near being the proverbial
cold day Of July, that Is, comparatively.
The whole country enjoyed cool weather
with the exception of three sections, the
extreme northwest, the southwest and the
lower Mississippi valley.
In the South Atlantic states the tempera-
ture was generally much below the
normal, with easterly winds and general
rains. Southern cities reported tempera-
lures as follows: Charlotte &C., Whining
ton 70, Norfolk rs, Charleston 81, Au-
gusta $40, Jacksonville Sc, Atlanta 60 and
Savannah So.
Southern cotton belt districts reported as
follows: Atlanta 500, Augusta 81, Charles
ton 81, Wilmington 78', Memphis, Sc,
Montgomery So, Savannah go. Calves
ton reported the highest average, So.
More or less rain fell in every district
except the Memphis district. Light show
ers fell in the Galveston district, and it was
repor ed raining there last night.
Some points in the Savannah strict
were much hotter than Others. Below is
the record: Alapaha S6S, Albany 90, Balm
bridge $40, Eastman $50, Fort Gaines $50,
Gainesville 9O0, Millen 90, Ouitman 940'
Savannah So, Townsville 81 and Way
cross 92'. The average for the district
was 90.
Rains were reported from all stations ex-
cept Quitman aud Waycross. Over inches
of rain fell at Fort Gaines, 2 inches at Balm
bridge, nearly 2 at Gainesville, IL at
Thomasvile and over | inch at Eastman.
Yesterday was cool day in the city.
The morning was the warm part
Of the day. Clouds overriding the city
all day and a strong breeze blew.
Sun umbrellas were hardly necessary.
Late in the afternoon heavy clouds gathered
and assumed very threatening appearance
The wind reached a velocity of twenty-five
miles an hour. The threatened storm did
not mature, however, and the rain began to
fall lightly about dark. This continued
for several hours. The night was unpleasant,
being dark. windy and rainy. There was a
heavy blow east of the city and at Tybee
and along the coast. D..
The cause of this unusual weather, the
signal officers say, IS the movement of a
high barometric area from the north to the
south, conflicting with movement of low
area from the gulf northward, causing
easterly winds and general rains, and con-
sequently cooler weather.
The outlook is that to-day will be cloudy,
rainy and possibly cooler.
