A tai, well Eailt young mar lcuug-d
into the Colounade barber shop a day
or two ago, closely followed by a sleek.
intelligent Italian greyhound. The
man took his place in "A chair and the
dog quietly reclined on the floor near
by. The barber stopped to pat the
graceful creature and jocularly said,
TIL tap av tn mahrnin 10 yez. Rover. q"
The dog cooked his ears and looked
inquiringly at his master. The latter
observed
'Ze doggie do not speak Angles
He's a Partisan" Then he looked at
his pet and continued, Bon jour, Bap-
fist"
The greyhound very enthusiastically
whacked his tail upon the floor and re-
piled 20 his masters salutation by a
low, throat like gurgle Of satisfaction.
''Can he do any thricksF' asked the
barber, pausing in his work.
Certainly" replied the young
Frenehman, still speaking in broken
English. Tell him to roll over"
The barber did so, but the dog mere
ly remained quiet, and a worried, anx-
ious expression spread over his face.

Ella Cranston, a Mulatto Girl, Ends
Her Life With Poison.
Ella Cranston, bright mulatto girl, sui
cided yesterday in Mary DeLyon's place, at
Price street and York street lane, by swal-
lowing almost the entire contents Of a box
of Rough on Rsts.n
The suicide was girl of 10, formerly of
Augusta, and quite progressing. She had
white lover, who deserted her about two
months ago. Since then she has been de-
spondent. and had made several threats of
ending her existence. No attention was
paid to her threats by her companions, and
they began to look on them as mere idle
talk.
The girl had been drinking freely Thurs
day night, dyeste day morning she went
out shopping. She returned to the house
about IL 30 o'clock aud went into her room
and closed the door, saying as she did so
to the other inmates: "food-by.n In a few
minutes she walked out into the hallway
vita a glass ia her hand and said to the
madam Of the place:
"Well, I've taken it,"
"Taken what7" was asked.
20, rough on rats" she replied.
Mary Ferrabee ran up and knocked the
glass from her hand to the e Jor. Ella said
to the woman:
THAT'S all right; / drank all want, and
the glass had nothing in it but the dregs.n
The other woman got the unfortunate
girl to bed and Immediately dispatched
messe gers for doctors. Two responded,
but they saw at q glance that nothing could
prevent fatal termination, ait ough they
did everything known to their profession TO
save her.
Ella did not want the doctors to cure her,
and foug t them to the rest of her ability.
1t took four people to hold her at one time
while the physicians were forcing an emetic
down her throat In about three quarters
ct an hour she lost consciousne and con-
tinued TO sink until death put an end to her
wretched life.
Coroner Dixon was notified, and, after in
vestlgat ng the circumstances surrounding
the case decided that an inquesi was un-
necessary, and issued a permit for the
burial of the suicide.
The suicidal mania seems to have got a
good start, seven people having suicided
since October.

The Landings Between Here and Au-

The Landings Between Here and Au-
gusts Nearly All Under Water.
The steamer Advance, which was de-
tanned nearly two days in Augusta by her
inability to psss the Port Royal and Au-
gusta bridge on account of the telegraph
wires overhead, with which the steamer
came in contact by the great rise in the
river, arrived at her wharf yesterday after
noon.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
was prevailed upon to have the wires cut
Tuesday afternoon by threats Of suit for
damages. There has been difficulty in pass
ing the wires at low water.
Capt. Meyer of the Advance reports that
the Savannah river Is away out of its anks
from Augusta down to within about eighty
eight mills OF Savannah. Water was sew
eral feet deep in some of the stores in Au.
gusta, including rtions of Broad ST Get,
when he left there Tuesday. All down
the river the surrounding country
ia overlooked, and nearly all
the landings are under water. 1t was i'm
possibler for the steamer to reach many of
them. Stony Bluff, Cohen's Bluff aud
Stokes Bluff were about the only landings
not under water. A large amount of
guano was overfiowed and consequently
ruined on the landings at Porter's Landing,
Brier Creek, Poor Robin, Hager-Slager and
other points,
Capt. Meyer said he did not see any
bridges or houses that had been washed
away, nor any cattle or hogs In the river.

The Movement to Get the Colored
Branch College For Savannah
The third meeting Of the colored people in
the interest of the branch college for the
education of the colorsd youth at Savannah,
was held at the First African Baptist
church last night. and was well attended.
Rev. E. K. Love presided.
Rev. J. n Sims, OF the com mittee on
securing site. reported that the COMMITTEES
had inspected several sites and had secured
options upoI three. as follows: Part Of the
Long tract near Bonaventure, 3216 acres,
S., 900; the Rose tract on the old Montgom-
cry road, so acres, 81. 500; and the 90 acres
Of the Pitchard farm donated by the
county commissioners.
A motion was made and adopted that the
commission be offered $4,000 and a site to
locate the school in Savannah. The opinion
seemed to prevail that as Savannah is located
In South Georgia, IL would have to bid high
TO secure the school. The opinion is that
with the help of the white people $40, coo
can be raised. Subscriptions to the amount
of CLOS were made which, with the
amount subscribed at the previous
scribed. Rev. r. K. Love increased his
subscription TO 500.
In was decided to begin the canvass i'm
mediately, and fifteen new names were
added to the original committee, giving the
committee twenJy-four members, all of
whom are authorized to receive suhscrip-
lions. The committee is as follows: Rev.
Alex Harris, Rev. j. II. Sims, Rev. E. K.

Rev. E. K. Love spoke with much en-
couragemsnt of the support from the white
people, and he thought that they would be
willing to contribute literally TO the object
ii it were properly presented to them. He
said thai those with whom he had discussed
the subject agreed with him that the school
would be great advantage to the city, and
it would be TO the interest Of both races to
bring 10 here. He said that $40, 600 would
secure the school for Savannah.
The next meeting will be held in the
Second Baptist church, on Greene square,
Monday night.

The trouble was between the eighty sixth

ruDs parallel with the Ogeechee river.
The river overflowed all the surrounding
country, he water covering the track in
several places and washing out a small por-
ton of the track near the eighty eighth
mile-post. 1t was necessary to repair this
twice, as the water rose second time after
falling once and washed out the work that
had been newly done.
The morning train, No. 4, which was due
here at $50 o'clock yesterday morning,
arrived at 1928 o'clock via Americus about
six hours late. The north-bound train ar
