Rice's spe ctacular to be the Attraction
Tonight.

Rice's Spe ctacular to be the Attraction
Tonight.
Rice's scenic extravaganza, the "Corsair,'
will be presented tonight at the theater for
the first time In Savannah, with all of its
magnificent scenery, gorgeous costuming
and novel mechanical effects. The company
is large one and is composed of we'll
known artists, among whom are Ida Wells,
Bessie Tannehill, Sadie Stevens, Julia Senac.
Estelle Clinton, Edwin s. Tarr, Charles
Udell, Charles j. Hagin and Harry Allen.
The "Corsair" is beyond doubt the most
effective burlesque that has ever been pro-
duced in this city. The beautiful changing
scenes and costumes, the rich curtains
and hangings, over which no expense
has been spared, and the
handsome, vivacious girls, all form a
kaleidoscope of life and color dazzling to
the eye and senses; and when the curtain
drops on the last scene one rubs bis eyes as If
awakened from some eautiful dream and
wishes to return the next night to see if the
fairy palace is still in existence. There are
t~enty-four numbers Of music in the
"Corsair." All Of them are the composition
of E. E. Rice and John T. Braham Miss
Julia Senac, the handsome and divinely.
formed lady who acts as the capssin of the
pasha's guard in the ''Corsatr.S is the
daughter of Prof. Senac, the farndns French
fencing master Of New York. M. Senac is
the Apollo of the New York 400.

Richard Hooks Goes Bone With
Bullet in His Head.

Richard Hooks Goes Bone With a
Bullet in His Head.
Richard Hooks, a colored porter for
Wells Bros, grocers, was shot in the head
between 8 and 4 o'clock yesterday morning.
Who did the shooting, or where it occurred
is not known, as Hooks would not talk
about the ARRAY.
Hooks is contemplating marriage, and
Wednesday night he visited the furniture
store of Rhodes & Co. od Broughton street
and selected an outfit of household goods
paying $50 down. A colored woman, with
whom he boarded at No. Is Stewart street,
accompanied Hooks to select the furniture,
and be escorted her home at 10 O'Clock.
After that he went up town and about 4
o'clock returned, and, rapping at the door,
called to the woman to let him In, as he had
been shot. She opened the door and found
Hooks bleeding profusely. She asked him
how he had received the wound, but he de-
clined to give any information, simply say.
ing he didn't know who shot him. DR..
Boyd was called in after daylight and at
tended the wounded mau. He probed for
the bullet, but failed to find it.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw Hook
last night, and asked him about the shoot
ing, but the man was delirious from his
wound, and could not answer any question
intelligently. The general opinion Is that
Hooks was engaged in difficulty, which he
is trying to hide.

NAY HAVE BEEN POISON.
SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG
COLORED WOMAN

Anna Williams Dies From Short
Sickness After Threats by a Jeal-
Gus Rival That She Would Have
Revenge fer Alternating Her White
Lover-The Police Notified, and the
Coroner to Hold an Investigation
To-day.
The death of Anna Williams, a mulatto
girl, at Houston and Hull streets yesterday
afternoon caused considerable excitement
among the colored people of that locality
many Of whom claimed that the woman had
been poisoned by an enemy.
Anna alienated the affections Of a white
lover of another girl named Susie Barlow
about two weeks ago, and the latter made
threats in the hearing Of many people that
she would have revenge. She met the
object Of her vengeance one day last week
and gave her a beating. This, however,
according to the statements Of several
par ties did not satisfy her.
The Barlow woman told q girl named
Annie Howard, who was friend Of Anna
Williams, that she would make the
latter suffer, and would soon
put her in position where she
girl told the dead woman that she had bet
thr be careful, as she was afraid Susie
would do her up.
Last Friday the Williams girl was taken
sick and DIR. Snelson a colored physician,
was called to attend her. He began treat
ing her for Inflammation OF the stomach,
and Wednesday night DR.. Nichols was sent
for. He continued treating her for the
same disease. Yesterday afternoon about
o'clock she died.
Some one started the rumor Of foul play,
and crowds gathered around the house.
About s O'Clock w. A. johnson, a colored
messenger at the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, who had heard of the
threats of the Barlow woman and the death
of Anna Williams, reported the matter to
the police, and Sergt. Mock notified Coroner
Dixon. William I. Dixon, the coroner's
son, visited the scene and examined the
body. While he found no external marks
OF foul play the remarks of the colored
people in the house about the poisoning
theory decided him to have an investigation
of the affair this morning.
A MORNING NEWS reporter saw DIR.
Nichols and inquired il there was any
foundation for the poisoning rumor. he
said that as far as he knew there is not He
was called Wednesday night to treat the
woman for inflammation Of the stomach,
and had made no examination to see IL she
had been poisoned The doctor. however.
was not prepared to say that there might
not have been poison administered.
The oolored women living In the house
would not directly charge the death Of tho
Williams woman to any one but they dwelt
upon the threats which had been made by
Susie Barlow. A peculiar feature of the
case is that the palms Of the dead woman's
hands and her feet turned black soon after
death. Some Of those who saw the body
claimed that this was ample evidence Of the
poison.
No arrests will be made until the coroner's
investigation has proven that the woman's
death resulted from poison.

They Plumber His Garden While He is
in the Council
While Alderman Bailey was making his
speech in the council Wednesday night on
the inadequacy of police protection on Hall
street and the neighboring locality thief
was despoiling SLOWER garden, showing
plainly that the alderman's remarks
were justified. Complaints have been
frequent of late from the southern
portion Of the city OF similar
depredations. The authorities should take
active steps to apprehend ard punish these
marauders, who seem to have a peculiar
penchant for robbing gardens. Only few
nights ago some miscreant sailed the grass
plat in front of A. S. Nichols residence, at
Gwinnett AID Barnard streets, completely
destroying 1t. Whether this was done
through mischievousness or with malicious
intent is not known.
