SLAIN IN A QUARREL.
A Fatal Fl ght Between White Man
and O. Nec,ro on Osaahauy Tslopd

A Fatal Fl Rht Between White Man
and Negro on Ossabaw Island.
Lou Sans (colored) was killed on Ossa-
baw Island Thursday night by whiteiman
named Jourdon. The place being distant
and out of the way very little information
has been obtained concerning the killing.
1t seems that the negro and Jourdon
lived near each other, and it was convenient
for them to cross each others land. Thurs
day night a dispute arose between Jour-
don's wife and the negroes wife, arising
from the crossing of one another's places.
The colored woman struck Mrs. Jourdon.
Jourdon went to his wife's assistance, when
Sans interfered. There was a sharp fight
between them and Jourdon stabbed Sans
several times, once in the left breast, aud
once, the fatal thrust, through the heart.
Jourdon was placed under arrest by
Magistrate Mendel of Bethesda, who
brought him to Savannah and lodged him
in jail. The jail authorities refused to
allow the prisoner to be seen last night.
Sheriff Roman said he didn't know Jour
don's full name.
Coroner Dixon went out to hold an in-
quest yesterday mnrning, and had gone as
far as ThunderDolt before he was informed
that Jourdan had been brought to Savan-
nah. He returned to the city. He was
Informed that Magistrate Mendel had inves-
tigated the case, and had ordered the body
of the negro buried.

VALUE OF LANDS IN THE COUNTY,
When asked what unimproved lands
In the county, not in the
immediate vicinity Of Savannah, can be
bought for. and if these lands
can be brought up to the high standard Of
fertility which his farm has attained,
that all the lands Of the county, except the
Underwater rice lands, can be made to yield
as much proportionately as his farm.
A PRODUCTIVE SECTION.
All the lands, be said, are susceptible of
drainage, and he cited lands as dry as a
bone since the branch of the Minis canal
has been dug this year which were under
water last year, or partially so. Under
draining to give air and drainage to the
land solves the problem, and nowhere in
this state or in the county, Mai.
Ryals says, can the soil be made more pro-
ductive, and from which successive crops
can be grown in single year, with the
added advantage Of being near base of
supplies like Savannah, and railway and
steamship lines for quick and economical
shipment to northern and interior markets.
As to the price these lands would COM
mand, Maj. Ryals was not fully prepared
to say. He thinks, however, that plenty of
land suited to agriculture and fruit culture
can be purchased at from s. to SIS per acre,

A FLOOR COLLAPSEs.
The Second Story OF Lloyd g. Adams
Store Drops to the First.

The Second Story OF Lloyd g. Adams
Store Drops to the First.
The second floor of the western portion of
Lloyd g. Adams store at Congress, Whita-
ker and st. Julian streets collapsed yester-
day afternoon. The falling debris coming
in contact with the burglar alarm wires,
turned in an alarm at the headquarters, and
a messenger was hastily dispatched across
the street, although the nature of the alarm
was suspected, as the crash was plainly
heard in the burglar alarm office The
accident occurred at 2:30 o'clock
The damage could not be estimated last
night. Mr.. Adams is in Virginia and Mr..
Lloyd Is in Brunswick. He was notified of
the accident by telegram last night. There
was considerable window glass stored on
the first floor, which was badly smashed UP,
and there was a small portion of the paint
stock on the first floor. which is more or less
damaged. The accident is attributed
to a weak girder, which gave way,
and 1000 doors, weighing from
twenty-five to thirty tons, crashed through.
The walls are intact, and the first floor sus-
tanned the heavy weight so suddenly pre-
cipitated upon it. The building and walls
were considered by the firm among the
heaviest and most securely built in the
business quarter.
The accident occurred at an opportune
time, when no one was in the building,
otherwise injury to life would doubtless
have resulted. An employe of the house
had been at work on the first floor during
the forenoon and had left the building but
a short while before the floor below him fell.
The damage will be promptly
repaired by Walthour g. Rives, agents
for the Gibbons estate, to which the prop
erty belongs. and due care will be taken to
make the interior more secure. The doors
which fell through will be removed to the
building formerly occupied Lloyd 81 Adams,
at Whitaker street and Bay lane. The
accident will not interfere in any way with
the firms business nor with the occupancy
of the eastern store of the building in which
the accident occurred.

A BARROOM BURNED,
Alexander Kellar's Place at Bryan and

Alexander Kellar's Place at Bryan and
jefferson Streets Quilted.
At $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm of fire was turned in from box No.
ID, corner of Broughton and Whitaker
streets The fire was in a bar
room at the southwest corner of Bryan and
Jefferson streets, kept by Alexander s.
Kellar. 1t was first seen by Policeman
Lynch, but for some reason box No. 9. at Bay
and jefferson streets, would not work, and
an alarm had to be turned in from No. Is.
The department was promptly at the scene,
with the crowd which always responds to
No. 10, and which was quite large for so
early in the morning.
The fire was confined to the lower floor of
the building in the barroom proper, and was
soon extinguished. The damage to the
stock and building will approximate s., 900.
The building belonged to the Minis estate.
Justice of the Peace Sam Reynolds is agent
for the property, which was insured. Kellar
was insured for 81 900 on stock and fixtures
in G. A. Reitze's agency.
Kellar stated that he had about 81 200
worth of stock, aud he assigned no cause
for the fire, as he closed up the
place at midnight and left shortly
afterward. There was no light
in the building. The place was resort for
negroes of all sorts, and the residents in the
neighborhood had generally signed petit
ton to be presented to council to have Kel-
lars license revoked and the place shut up.

A Matter Of interest to Travelers.

Tourists, emigrants and mariners find that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a medicinal
safeguard against unhealthful influence, upon
which they can implicitly rely, since 1t prevents
the effects that an unhealthy climate, vitiated
atmosphere. unaccustomed or unwholesome
diet, bad water, or other conditions unfavorable
to health would otherwise produce. On long
voyages, or journeys by land in ATTITUDES ad ia

preventive of the febrile complaints and dis

are apt to attack natives of the temperate zones

an excellent protection against the influence of
extreme cold. sudden changes of temperature,

THE CENSUS FIGURES.

Savannah Looms Up Among the
Cities With Big Gains in Population.
The unofficial statement of the city's
population in the MORNING NEWS yesterday,
furnished by Supervisor of Census Beckett,
had been looked forward to and figured
upon by thousands Of people, and was
matter in which everybody is interested.
Many are inclined to think the popula-
ton was underestimate. Mr.. A. Il. Sholes,
publisher of the City Directory who is now
in Macon, in letter received by the MORN
ING NEWS, before Supervisor Beckett had
compiled the enumerators' returns for
Savannah, made an estimate of the popu-
lation at AZ, $50. Mr.. Sholes says:
my directory gives 81, 900 in round num-
bers. OF this number about 600 are be-
yond the corporate line, reducing the
population of the city proper in February
last to $1,000. In the winter we have a
colored population serving as roustabouts
and laborers TO the number of nearly or
quite 5000 who leave the city for the cotton
and rice fields and other country work in
the spring; and further, we have
very considerable business population.
cotton buyers, etc, who leave Savannah
with their families in April and Nav to re-
turn In September and October. These,
with other summer migrators, will number
fully 1000. This would bring the absolute
population of Savannah down to 5000,
which | believe to be very nearly correct.
but as in twenty years of directory work
have never known first canvass of any
city to come within much less than 5 per
cent. Of the full returns estimate that the
enumerators in Savannah will fall that
much short. Five per cent. Of $4,000 is
$3.50. which subtracted from As, 600 gives us
AZ, ESQ, which present as my guess on the
returns
Supervisor Beckett says that he does not
believe over 800 people at the outside were
missed by the enumerators.
In connection with the unofficial returns
from Savannah it is interesting TO note the
returns from other southern cities. Among
those whose population has been unofficially
returned ara:

York's increase, which was 35 per cent. and
