THOMAS ARzwRIGRr DEAD.
Suspicion That He Took Morphine
to End His Lie.


Auaus1A. GA, Oct 9.-The dead body
Of Thomas Arkwright was found in room 80
at the Arlington hotel this afternoon.
box ofmorphine pills on his bureau told the
story. Mr.. Arkwright has been ADDICTED
to the use of morphine, however. and soout
sir weeks ago Proprietor Petty
| John. of the Arlington, was
summoned hurriedly TO MS room
! snd Mr.. Albright told him thet ne nad
! taken too much morphine by nlstaKe, and
| FOR Gods sako to save bis l;ts by heroic
measures. This was done and that instance
makes it possible that death IN this case was
not suicide. No record was left behind to
explain his action, and the jury simply re-
turned a verdict of death from
an overdose OF morphine. without
expressing any opinion whether by suicide
or accident. IL is generally believed, how
ever, that it was suicide.
ONCE DEPUTY COLLECTOR.
Mr.. Arkwright was deputy United States
collector here for several months. and
about two months ago suddenly
gave up his place. The Augusta EUen-
ina Herald published a sensational
story of a shortage which MIR. Arkwright
denied and threatened the paper with a
$40, 900 damage suit. Since then he has been
ia Augusta several times, remaining a week
or 80 at time. He has been here for the
past ten days. He had been quite devoted
to an attractive young lady IN this city and
has taken her out driving and co
the theater several times in the
past week, going to the theater
in a handsome landau. They we're under
stood to be engaged. II she knows any
cause for the suicide, however, she declines
to reveal it, though she admits to the belief
that il was suicide
PREDICTED HIS DEATH.
1t is understood that she received a letter
from Mr.. Arkwright two days ago, in
which he said it would probably be the last
letter he would ever write, and that
she sent to the hotel yesterday
morning to inquire how he was,
fearing then that he had carried out his
rash intention. She was greatly shocked
this evening at the intelligence Of his death,
and wanted to 60 at once 10 the hotel, but
was dissuajed. 1t is rumored that
young Arkwright was a married man.
but his wife turned out badly. This sad
chapter In bis life possibly stood as barrier
to the consummation Of his new love and
may furnish the clew TO his rash act. He
was handsome, manly fellow, who lived
in a luxurious way and perhaps his
present lack of employment made 1t i'm
possible for him to live as be wanted to live
and he would not live any other way. he
is said to have made some such speech as
this day OF two ago. His remains were
shipped 10 Savannah tonight.

TEN OF THEM.

There is no lack of competition in the printing
trade in Savannah, and there is therefore, no
excuse for merchants who have made. or are
making, their fortunes here sending their work
abroad
There are Ten printing Offices in Savannah,
and they average about the same as similar
establishments in other cities.
They give employment to between 300 and 400
people. and taking the usual computation, fur
nish bread for from 1880 to ? 400 mouths
Ninety-nine per cent. of that number are white
people, who contribute TO the healthy growth
and general prosperity of the city.
1t is true that these working people don't handle
naval stores, rice or cotton, but they and their
fellow workmen buy clothes and food and pay
rent, which adds directly or indirectly, to the
prosperity OF the merchants.
When the peace of the city is threatened these
men stand guard ready to do a soldiers duty in
defense OF the lives and property of their fellow
citizens.
There is not line of established business in
Savannah that cannot compete with similar
concerns abroad. and there is no excuse for the
man who sends his orders for clothes, shoes.
groceries and printing. etc, away. when he can
by investigation of prices find that he can do as
well at home.
1t is well known fact that printing, ltho-
graphing and binding are sent from this city TO
concerns that have no facilities OF their own for
doing such work, but farm it out on percent
age Business men can get any kind Of printing
done in Savannah that can be done elsewhere
They can get good work at fair prices, or Cheap
John" stuff that is dear at any price. The con
Germ that has thelatest labor saving machinery
can, as rule, give the best work for the least
money"
While this is ostensiby an advertisement Of
the MonSISG News PRINTISG HOUSE, it is hoped
that il will be rea by those people who appear
10 have lost sight OF the fact that saving a few
cents one way AMI losing dollars another way is
not good business management.
The amount Of printing sent from this city
would support another establishment like thar
OF ths MoasisG hEgs, or which. IL distributed
among tbs other ME pnaung Offices. add
greatly 10 TIER property.

MARINE.

Those who some years ago made an e1-
cursion on the John A. Dix will read with
grim delight Of the trials of lot OF ex-
cursionists on board the same boat while
enroute from Chicago to Milwaukee on
Sunday last. She sprung leak off Ra-
cine and 1T was necessary to keep five
pumps going to keep her from founder
ing. The water finally washed in on her
sides and there was serious danger OF the
fires being put out. There were 200 ex-
cursionists aboard and they were kept IN
ignorance OF the condition OF affairs until
Milwaukee was reached.
The schooner Dawn capsized of Port
Washington on Sunday morning. She
was loaded with lumber and on Saturday
sprung leak. The crew was not suffi-
GENTLY large to enable them to make a
port and they were beaten about at the
mercy OF the waves after the vessel be-
came waterlogged. When she lost her
deck load of lumber she capsized
The terms port" and "starboard" will
soon fall into general disuse. They are
no longer used in the German lines and
it is thought others will soon drop them.
Instead of port" the word cleft" will be
used and right" for "starboard." 1t
will be vast improvement on present
usage.

sumption may learn a lesson from IA
tally resulting from the practice at
Seshato last week. Two children a boy
and girl, were sent To saloon fof whisky.
The children were given and they drank
some beer while at the soloon. On the
way home they proceeded to drink from
the bottle and drank so much they be-
came stupetied. The boy succeeded in
vomiting and this relieved him. The
little girl went into convulsious and died
the night following. The family of which
the children are members live on the
Neshoto Road about three miles from
the city. 1t could not be learned from
whom they got the beer.

The Sheboygan Telegram with very
supplementary reference to the Manito-
voc Advancement Association and the
work it is doing has the following to say
OF the real estate owners.
"One move which the association has
made looks as though it was good one,
and that is, that a special committee is
looking after the real estate owners with
view OF inducing them to part with a
portion OF their holdings for the benefit
OF incoming manufacturing concerns.
Manitowoc has been cursed in one re.
spect by having large real estate owners,
who held onto their property like leeches,
and would suffer none OF it to be sold
except at exorbitant prices, This bag
been great drawback to the city, and
has had much to do with its exceeding
ly slow growth during tue past decade.
Sheboygan has been somewhat better off
in this respect, although considerable
realty here was in the hands OF few IN
dividuals. They would sell and would
also obtain good prioea, which the pur-
chasers could afford to pay, because the
general prosperity of the city during the
past ten years has been so great"
