THE HussARs' RECEPTION.
A Very Successful and Enjoyable
Entertainment.

entertainment.
Whatever the Hussars do they do well.
Their reception last night was a delightful
one. Il is doubtful If there was one present
who did not have a pleasant time The
whole club house was thrown open, and a
very handsome club house it Is. And
1t was artistically decorated with
Chinese lanterns 80 that ITO I a
attractive appearance The Hussars were
everywhere 10 king after the comfort Of
their guests. They know how to entertain,
and they entertain royalty.
The club house was crowded during all
the hours OF the reception. And the re-
freshmeuts were excslleut aud unlimited.
The number OF guests was large. The
Hussars are dessrvedly popular. and, there
fore all the invitations we're accepted. Aud
there we're none who seemed 10 be sorry
that they we're present. There has not been
a social gathering this year at which there
was more real enjoyment.
The hallway was decorated with man.
moth ported plants, and Cobb's orchestra
occupied place in the center and dis
coursed sweet music during the reception.
In the chandelier in the front parlor were
three historic f4gs One was the silk
BeaureSard Southern Cross, woven by the
lady friends Of the corps In Savannah, dur
ing the war, and sent 10 IL in Virginia.
Next TO IL WAS the bullet-torn and
tattered old battle flag which the Hussars
carried while they were attached to the
famous Jsff Davis legion. The oths- flag
was the squadron flag Of blue, bearing the
constitution Of Georgia This flag was
borne in many battles, as its ragged folds
showed.
In the back parlor. pendent from the
chandelier, was one of the original flags
adopted by the confederate congress and
carried by the Hussars to Virginia.
These flags were so nearly like the stars
and stripes that they caused considerable
trouble in the army before they were called
in, as they ~ere constantly being mistaken
for the union ensign.
Next to this was a tri-colored guidon
which the Hussars captured from the Fifty
fifth New York Zouaves at the second battle
of Manassas. IL j. IN an excellent state Of
preservation.
The flags were the center of interest in the
parlors, and many who looked upon them
recalled the stirring events which caused
their use over quarter Of a century ago.

LEFT DEAD ON THETRACK
AN UNKNOWN NE RO MURDERED
NEAR soUTHovER JUNCT. ON.

the Body Carried to the Railroad and
Laid On the Track co Give the I'M
preston That the Mao Fad Been
Run Over By Tran and Kined-The
Coroner's Investigation.
An unknown negro was murdered near
Southovsr junction some time Friday night
and his body was placed on the track Of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway,
with the intention Of having it appear that
the man had met hts death by being run
over by train. One train did run over
and crush the mans face beyond recogni-
ton.
The body was discovered yesterday morn
ing by some railroad hands and the dis
covery was reported to Justice Naughtiu,
acting coroner, who went to the scene about
IL O'Clock and found a crowd of about 200
excited colored people there. The right side
Of the dead negroes face was cut around
under the jawb0ne, and his throat was cut
clear across. An old hat which lay few
feet away from the body, was cut in three
places From the appearance OF tue wounds
Justice Naughtiu thinks they we're inflicted
by razor or sharp knife. Nothing was
found on ths body but harmonica and
piece Of iron in one OF the pockets Of the
dead mans trousers.
None Of the colored people in the vicinity
knew who the man was nor how he met bis
death. After rigid investigation Justice
Naughtin decided TO postpone an inquest, in
the hope that something will turn up in q
day or TWO TO prove his identity. There
wore no evidences of struggle, and the man
was probably killed some distance from
whore he was found and then carried to the
railroad.
The supposition is that he was killed in
gambling game. No arrests were made, as
no evidence was forthcoming to criminate
any one. The body was buried in a pau
per's coffin after the investigation.
