A MYSTERY OF THE RIVER.
The Body of o Young White Man
Picked Up Below the City.

The Body of Young White Man
Picked Up Below the City.
The body Of al hte man was discovered
yesterday afternoas floating in the river
near the lower cotton press wharves. 1t
was secured with ropes and tied to the slip
platform. Coroner Dixon was notified and
he had the body taken out of the water
1t was that of a mau about IS years old,
with a round. pleasant looking face. He had
reddish hair on the back of his head and
was bald in front. A heavy reddish mus
tache adorned his upper lip. lie had on
dark corded Prince Albert coat and a vest
Of the same material His trousers were a
black diagonal, and he wore pair of new
shoes. His top shirt was n six negligee,
with blue stripe running through il, and
around his neck was scapular, showing
him TO have been Roman Catholic.
There was nothing on the person Of the
drowned man by which he could be linden
titled. In his inside vest pocket was an
empty purse, and in one of the outside
pockets 70 cents in silver, a bunch Of keys
aud a comb. A business card of J. K.
Bedell, dealer in general merchandise at
Owens Ferry, was also found in his vest,
aud couple of onions in the hip pocket of
his trousers.
Capt Dixon carefully examined the
clothing, but there were no identification
marks upon it. An inquest was considered
unnecessary, and the body was placed in "a
paupers coffin and taken to Laurel Grove
for interment
The body was in a good state of preserva-
ton, and from all appearances had not been
IN the water more than two or three DAYS.
No one has been reported missing in Savan~
nah, and the man was probably stranger.
Whether he met his death accidentally or
with suicidal intent will likely always re-
main mystery

SIZE BELIEVED IN DREAMS.
A Colored Boarding Mistress Played
Upon by a Boarder.

A Colored Boarding Mistress Played
Upon by a Boarder.
A peculiar case of theft was brought TO
light yesterday by Detective Wetherhorn.
Annie Gadsden, a mulstto woman, keeps a
restaurant ct East Broad andHarris streets,
and on Harris street, just around the corner
from the restaurant, she runs a boarding
house.
Among her star boarders was Frank
SmRlls. Several days ago be saw Annie
putting $27 away In her trunk for safe
keeping.
The following morning, in the course Of a
conversation with his boarding mistress,
Smalls said: "Niss Annie, / had a dream
about you last night. dreamed dat you
was robbed by q man hbing in dis house,
who's got more keys den a lawyer. You
amt gwine TO be robbed in de house. though.
De man Ibis yer. but he's gwine to rob yer
restaurant Mine what tell you, an look
out"
Annie was credulous enough to believe in
dreams, and she kept a dlligent watch on
the restaurant for day or two. Yesterday,
she wanted to get change for IS bill, and
getting her key, opened the trunk. To her
surprise and dismay the money was not
there. She consulted Smalls, and he ap-
pesred to be equally surprised, but re-
marked: Il guess OATS my dream OUT
Annie called in the services Of Detective
hetherhorn. As soon as he was told the
Cream story the officer hunte1 Smalls up
and arrested him. Smalls stenuously de-
MED at first that he knew anything about
the money, but when the detective began
telling him Of the long term in
the peniteutiary his dream would cost
him Smalls wilted and confessed that he
had taken the money from thee trunk by
means OF false key which he had. He
said he had the money intact and would
give it up. This be did, and the Gadsden
woman then refused to prosecute him, and
he was released Smalls admitted that he was
planning the theft when he told the woman
tue dream story, knowing that she believed
In dreams, to divert suspicion from himself.

Assistant Chief Mouro,s Gig

Assistant Chief Fireman Mouro's two
wheeled gig has been thoroughly remod-
eled and repaired, aud presents a
neat and tasty appearance. For
merly all the weight of the We
hicle was upon the horses back, aud, as a
consequence, gave every animal who was
used in it any length of time q scald back.
This difficulty has been removed, and
the horse now has no weight
upon him but the shafts. The
body of the gig rests upon two springs, and
it rides with perfect ease and comfort Pat
ent wheels have been put ON instead of the
old style They are constructed with a
hnchpln and nut, so as to feed themselves
with oil, thereby obviating the necessity of
removing the wheel for the purpose of oiling
the axle.
The whole affair has been painted in
bright red, with black and gold
stripes. On the back are the words
Assistant Chief s. F. Dr. in gold letters,
and on either side the letters IS. F. d. "
The seat Of the gig is so arranged as to
make falling out almost an impossiolii5v.
The work was done by Wheelwright
Sanberg, who is also reconstructing Chief
Puder's buggy.

BAKING POWDER.
NO LIME IN
Royal Baking Powder

The ROYAL BAKING POWDER is made from Cream of
Tartar specially refined and prepared for its by
patent processes by which the Tartrate of Lime is
totally eliminated
This highly important result has been attained only
with great care labor and expense. In money alone
half million dollars has been invested in patents,
machinery and appliances by which the crude Cream of
Tartar being procured direct from the wine districts of
Europe and subjected in this country to these excu-
Sve processes is rendered entirely free, not only from
the Objectionable Tartrate of Lime, but from other
foreign substances.
This adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing
ROYAL BAKING POWDER; but as all its other ingred-
ents are selected and prepared with the same precise
care and regardless of labor or expense an article
produced that is entirely free from any extraneous
substance, and pure in all respects The ROYAL
contains ingredients except those certified by the
s most eminent chemists necessary to make pure,
wholesome and perfect Baking Powder
1t costs more to manufacture the Royal Baking
P0der than any other; but is as sb01Cn By cbemi-
cal analysis the only absolutely pure Baking P0cc-
der MADE.

In Chattanooga last Tuesday night at
the first meeting of the new City Coun-
ell the Big Nine, made up of five Re
uublicans and four Democrats, parcelled
out the offices, giving twenty-one lat

Two of these men, Horne and Wilson,

The Martain MALL tells the following
rather tough storyG 4 few days ago,
Raft Jones, who lives one and quarter
miles West of here, fell on wagon
standard and injured himself by bend
ing in rib. His physicians advised
him to wear bandage and to breath
hard in order that the rib may resume
it's proper place. The breathing caused
him pain, and day or two Afterwards
while at a blacksmith shop, some one
suggested that he be "blOwn up" with
bellows; he acquiesced, the bellows
were applied, and the way he was
puffed out, they say, resembled bal
loon, but the remedy was ettectual, as
he was cured sound and well. This
may sound AS a yarn, but it is vouched
