Murder of Aaron Iiiohe.

The Reyeillc last week referred
briefly 10 the finding Of Aaron
Tilche's body in the woods near
Dallas, Tex, Sunday and the sup
position that he had been f0ully
dealt with. Later kilograms con-
irmed the worst suspicious. and
showed that the poor fellow had
been murdered fora small amount
Of money and The jewclrY he lad
on his person. I.u .eI
The body was found by ID. T..
james, a farmer. A telegram in
the New Orleans papers Of The 10th
gives these particulars +. t-.... ..'r
The remains of Aaron Tilche, tho
victim Of the assassin's bullet, were
inferred in tho Hebrew cemetery
to-day, large concourso Of people
attending the funeral. The deceas-
cd was q native Of Port Gibson,
Miss, where he owned three large
plantations and was associated in
the dry goods business with his
brother.
lie came TO Dallas a little over u
year ago, where he launched out ia
business. Jacob Bacr is brother
in-law. Mr.. Baer estimates that
Titche had $3.50 or 500 ON his per-
son when killed also n gold watch
and chain, a diamond ring and pin.
The inquest on the remains this
morning, at which Bouton, the ac-
cuscd murderer and robber, was
present, developed the'lact that he
was shot twice, one bullet hole hav-
ing been found two inches below
the nipple, the other in n direct
line four and a half inches below
the heart.
The theory of suicide is not ton
able, from the fact that the bullets
entered on tho lefi side aud pursued
rightwarg course. Tho bullet
holes are through the vest, but not
through tho coat. l
G.. II Bouton was raised in New
Orleans, and not in Mobile, where.
his mother lives. The evidence n
gainst tile prisoner is very strong.
To-day the officers found revolver
in Bouton's trunk in their search of
his rooms. Two chambers weru
empty. The bullets taken from the
body Of TItche correspond with
those found in the loaded chambers
Of the pistol. The money and jew
elry were not found.

work, and all the links in the chain

a WIND GAUGE AT TYBEE.

One VIII Be Put There for the Ben
eft of Ship Masters.
Weather Observer Smyth Of the Savan-
nah weather bureau has made arrangements
to have an anomemeter, or wind gauge,
put in at the telephone station at Msrtello
tower at Tybee This is for the purpose OF
keeping a record Of the velocity Of the wind
at that point for the information OF
masters Of vessels putting in at Tybee
and all vessels leaving this port
This is very valuable information and is
much desired by captains. By adding ten
or fifteen miles to the velocity OF the wind
at the signal station at Tybee they will be
able to get pretty accurate idea of the
velocity Of the wind outside the bar. In
case Of q high wind they would remain In
side the bar until the velocity of the wind
abated. There is number of
vessels that put in at Tybee
during the busy season for
such information upon the weather aud
other topics as can be given at the signal
station, and the addition of q wind gauge
will be greatly appreciated by them. The
instrument has been ordered and will be in
place before Sept. l. Mrs. Evans who now
has charge Of the telephone aud signal
station will also attend to this work.

The excursion rate is 50 50, and the tick-

Burks. Bouchard. Harrigan. O'COnnor,
Tison, Demerse, Gross, Reedy, Cur

team that beat the Augustus on their visit

and some OF them claimed that they had
not been treated fairly. Savannah will
now meet them on their own heath and
settle the question of superiority there.
The greatest interest is felt in the game
and the betting will be heavy. The score
will be telegraphed here by innings to ap-
pease the curiosity of those who ara unable
to go. 1t will undoubtedly be one of the
finest games ever seen in Georgia, as the
teams are practically evenly matched aud
there is just enough feeling in the matter to

TO ADVANCE PRICES.
Cigar Smokers VIII Find Their Luxury
More Costly.

Cigar Smoke rs VIII Find Their Luxury
More Costly.
Owing 10 the scarcity of Sumetra leaf
there is prospect that the smokers of Sa-
vannah, along with those in other cities,
will have to pay more hereafter for their
cigars. Especially does this apply to those
who use the cheaper grades.
Sumatra tobacco, as nearly all smokers
know, is what is almost universally used as
wrappers for cheap grades Of cigars. Most
of it Is grown in Connecticut, Pennsylvania
and other states, from seed imported from
Sumatra. This year the reports from these
tobacco-growing sections indicate that
Sumatra seed leaf is going to be very poor
crop.
"If Sumatra leaf is scarce next winter it
will undoubtedly cause deterioration in
the quality of cheap cigars" said q manu-
facturer, referring to the matter, in CONVEX
sation with a reporter, because Lancaster
or Connecticut valley native leaf will have
70 be used for wrapping, and this does not
possess the flavor or burning qualities of
SumatrA. There will be an increase in
price, too, but you needn't infer from this
that Scent cigars will be raised to s cents.
1.-THE matter will be arranged this way:
For cigars sold broken, that is to say by
one or two over the counter at cents
apiece, a special kind will be made with
native leaf wrappers. For cigars sold by
the box the Sumatra wrappers will be used
and the price advanced, say from SIS to
s. so or perhaps even SO, per hundred"

RosIN AND PITCH BURNED.

A Fire at the shotter Company's OIL
Works Causes S 800 Damag
TheS. P. Shooter Company's oil works on
Bay street west OF the canal suffered q
loss by fire of about 81 800 yesterday after
noon.
About 80 o'clock the stores Of rosn and
pitch in the yard OF the works caught fire
in some manner from pitch still, and in a
few minutes fierce blaze sprung up. The
fire was first discovered by the
engineer. The nearest fire alarm box was
No. 81, at the Central railroad warehouse,
and 1t took some time to reach it. A quick
run was made by the fire department. but
on account OF the long distance and the diff
hculty in obtaining water the fire was well
under way when the flremen got to work.
1t soon became apparent that the only thing
for them 10 do was to keep the fire within
its original limits aud prevent its spread to
other portions Of the works
Water had TO be obtained from the canal,
there being no fire plugs west OF the canal
The engines were required to pump water
for distance of about $50 yards. The fire
was confined to about 200 barrels OF rosin
and pitch under some small sheds, and
one turpentine still worth about
$500. Fortunately the trend Of the fire was
away from the engines, boilers and stills
used in the manufacture of rosin oil aud
other turpentine products, the wind being
in a favorable direction.
The most important portion of the COM
pany's stores, the tanks of oil and turpen-
tine, were not endangered at all, all of the
tanks being underground and some distance
from the works.
The fire produced a tremendous dense
smoke which gave the impression In town
that there was an immense conhagration in
progress at the oil works.
The nature of the pitch and rosin readily
explained the cause of the dense smoke.
Mr.. S, P. Shooter, the senior member of
the firm, said the damage would not exceed
$1,000. The works are covered by $500
insurance placed with w. 81. Daniel IN the
Hartford, London, Liverpool and Globe and
American Fire Insurance companies.
Mr.. Shooter said the chief loss would be
incurred by the stoppage Of the works
during the time required to make repairs,
which he estimated at about two weeks.

A ROW AT QUARANTINE.
DR.. HUGER AND TUG CAPTAIN
HEALY AT LoGGERRRADs.

The Quarantine Of1cer Charges the
Theckla's Master With Insubordina-
tion-Mayor McDonough Holds an
Investigation Which Nearly Culni-
mated in Trouble Between the Parties
at Issue-The Sanitary Board May
Be Called on to Consider the Case.
The conduct Of the affairs of the quanan-
tine station is proving thorn In che side of
the city authorities A few weeks ago
DR.. Keller resigned his position as quaran-
tine officer because Of q difference between
himself and Capt. Healy Of the quarantine
tug Theckla.
DR.. Keller claimed that Capt. Healy had
declined TO recognize his authority as quar-
antins officer, and he refused to use the tug.
but when the sanitary board investigated
the troubles it decided both were to blame
and instructed Mayor McDonough to repri-
mand them. DR.. Keller declined to accept
the view taken by the sanitary board OF the
situation, and rather than submit TO repri-
mand he resigned.
DR.. Huger was appointed in his place
and for a short while things moved along
smoothly. Suddenly, however. there was
CLASH between the new quarantine off1cer
and Capt. Healy. AS the days went by the
breach widened, and finally DIR. Huger filed
charges Of insubordination and absenteeism
without permission from the station against
Capt. Healy.
Yesterday Mayor McDonough had q
private hearing of the case in his office at
the exchange, and before it ended a little
sensation developed. While DR.. Huger was
giving his testimony Capt. Healy intimated
that he was wrong. This nettled the
quarantine officer, and bristling up he very
forcibly told the tug captain that II he
meant to contradict his word he was
prevari cating. The doctor was hot and was
ready for fight, but Mayor McDonough in
terposed when he saw things getting too
personal
Capt. Healy emphatlcally denied the
charges OF INSTRUMENTATION and absenteeism
made against him, and gave facts to sUs-
tain his statements. Mayor MoDonough
reserved his decision IN the case. He will
probably bring the matter before the
sanitary board for investigation.
DIR. Huger charges Capt. Healy with
refusing to obey his instructions and
taking off the quarantine tug without
permission. The tug is proving an annoy
ance to the city as well al an extremely
costly piece of furniture.

by his audience.
After Prof. Tenders performance the hall
was cleared for dancing, which was in

brakes. His order was obeyed so quickly
that he was not prepared for the jar. His
hand was twisted from its grasp aud he
was thrown to the ground, both legs going
over the track. Before be could draw
them away the wheels had passed over one
foot, crushing 1t to q jelly, and over the
other les just above the ankle.

dent. The injuries were dressed again and
