o'clock at his residence. on Perry street,
near Bull, after an illness of about two
weeks
Mr.. Buffers death will be a great sur
prise to his friends, as Ii has only been a
short time since he was attending to the
regular duties of his profession, and his ILL
ness was not generally known.

and picturesque figure from the life OF the
city, and one that has occupied q place in
Its history for the past quarter of a century.

age. He was born in Virginia and came to
Savannah in 1854. He Immediately
became identified with the social and
business life of the CITY, and
remained so until the time of his death.
The increase of years seemed to affect
J him lightly and he continued to hold his
place In the ranks from which many of his
friends and acquaintance of former years
had long since fallen. Mr.. Butler was
prominently identified with the military
and other organizations of the city At the
time of his death he was an honorary mem
Der OF the Chatham Artillery and the Sa-
vannah Cadets. He was a member Of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry before
the war. He was q member of An
Gent Landmark Lodge of Masons and
also of the beneficiary societies, the Legion
of Honor, Royal Arcanum and Home Circle
For number Of years he had been a
steward OF the Bethesda Society, in which
benevolent organization be took a great
interest. He was a man who will be missed
by both old and young. By nature, warm
and genial, he made friends OF all who were
brought in contact with him.
MIR. Butler was ir the drug business from
the time he came to Savannah until his
death. For number Of years he conducted

He SAW HIS COFFIN.
Keeper of the Pest House and an On.
dertaker Joke Victims.

Keeper of the Pest House and an On.
derraker Joke Victims.
very unappreciated joke, with consid
cradle grimness attached, was perpetrated
on Undertaken Goette yesterday. Early IN
the morning q message was sent to his place
Of business that Pest House Keeper Fahy
was dead and he was wanted TO take out q
coffin and bring the body into the city 70
prepare it for burial
Undertaken Goette at once got a coffin
which he considered large enough 70 hold
Fshy's corpse and started in bis wagon on q
hot run to the pest house Ga arriving there
he was quite surprised to find the supposed
corpse attending 70 his duties around the
institution without any desire to become a
tenant OF coffin.
Fahy wanted to know what Undertaken
Goetts was doing In his neighborhood with
a coffin, and when the undertaken informed
the pest house keeper that he had made the
trip TO bring his body into the city, IN COM
pliauce with a message announcing his
death. Fahy got mad. Undertaken Goette
was mad, too, and if the two irate men
could have put their hands on the prac-
tical joker he wouldn't have Jared well.
In the meantime Health Officer Drummer
had been also notified that Fahy had died
at the pest house, and that Undertaken
Goette had gone there TO get his body This
aroused the health officer. aud, jumping
into his buggy, he drove rapidly for the
pest house to find out why tho undertaken
should undertake to bring into the city a
dead body from that point without his per-
mission, to the detrimeut Of the health of
the citizens at large.
About half way on his outward journey
Dr. Drummer met the undertaken driving at
an easy pace toward the city with coffin
in his wagon.
"Have you got Fahy in there" asked DIR.
Drummer.
"No, left his body out at the pest house,
replied Undertaken Goette.
DR.. Drummer continued on bis way to find
out the cause OF the death of his subordi>
nate, but when he reached the pest house
he found Fahy almost frothing with anger
81 thought you were dead" called out
DR.. Drummer.
"Do look like corpseF shouted back
the keeper OF the pest house in an angry
tone. "A coffin was sent out here for me a
while ago and If l can catch the man who
reported me toad he'll come pretty near
having use for wooden overcoat for him
SELF"
Dr.. Drummer enjoyed the joke hugely, but
the undertaken and alleged dead man could
not see much OF joke In the affair and
both are swearing vengeance on the author
OF it II they can discover him.

L1G timing STRIKES TWICE.
The Schooner Rob Roy Has a Narrow
Escape.

The Schooner Rob Roy Has Narrow
Escape.
Wednesday afternoon during the electric
storm the schooner Rob Roy, at Nc
Donough's lumber track at the Savannah
Florida and Western railways wharf. TAX
ing on lumber, was struck twice by light
ming. The first bolt struck the jigger top
mast and went down by the rigging, going
through the covering board, in which it
made hole 6 inches long and rs inches
wide. tca
The negroes WHO were aboard the vessel
were all huddled together 10 the hold aft for
shelter from'the rain, and say they saw the
fash Of fire as il came into the hold aud
went forward, bat where 1t made it's exit ia
a mystery, as the examination Of the vessel
disclosed no dRrnege below.
The second bolt which followed the first In
few seconds struck the mizzentopmAst and
ran down the rigging IN precisely the same
manner as the previous one, except that in
stead OF going through the covering board
1t went outside of the rail taking off about
eighteen inches of the basten and followed
the chain plate into the water.
There was no material damage to the
ship. The negro stevedores in the hold were
badly frightened for awhile, as the light
ming played, among the masts pretty freely
for a short time.JUS 20

A Wonderful Machine

There is no doubt that man is fine me-
chanism. but like every other machine he
wears out by friction. It is said that he is
born again every two or three years. His
body Is virtually remade from food. To
retard this making over is radically wrong,
as a man loses so much vitality in the de-
layed process that It takes a long time to
reouperate The process of making anew
Is so accelerated by purg.ng with BRAND
RETH's PILLS that a new man, as it were,
may be made in two or three months, and
the change 10 the mechanism is such that
the worn out part is replaced by the new
without the usual running down of the en-
tire machine You don't have to stop for
repairs. Purge away with BRANDRRTH's
PILLS the old, diseased and worn out body
They are purely vegetable, absolutely harm
less, and safe to take at any time.-dd.

VENTILATION OF SC 4ooLs.

Teachers Discuss the Best Way TO
Secure Sufficient Pure Air.
The subject Of the discussion at the close
OF the Peabody Institute yesterday was
the ventilation OF school rooms. The
participants were Supt. Baker, Prof.
Zettler, Prof. Cannon, and others. All
were agreed on the point that thorough
ventilation was a question OF the utmost
Importance In all school rooms and one
that should always be carefully looked
after by the teachers. It was one-sided
discussion, as all the teachers were OF the
same mind. The matter, it was agreed, is
one to which too little attention has been
generally given In the construction and
arrangement OF school houses.
