A Murderous Assault.

On last Monday afternoon James
Logan, plasterer, was at the confec-
tionery store of Albert Quenzel on
North Queen street and passed out
into the back yard and joined two
colored women who were in the EN-
ploy of Mr.. Quenzel. Logan was
evidently loaded with bad whiskey
and soon kicked up fuss with the
women. Mr.. Quenzel ordered him
out but he took no notice Of this
mandate After a little while Mr..
Quenzel threw bucket Of water out
into the yard and portion of it
struck Logan who, seized ali axe
which was setting by and with an
oath started for the old man. He
struck a blow at his head but Mr..
Qusnzel threw up his hand and re-
ceived it on the hand as well as the
head. The thumb on the right hand
was badly cut and long cash on
side of his head. Logan is now in
Jail awaiting misunderstanding States

A Turkey GobbIer's Expensive Anger.

Mr.. J. n. Trusssll, the proprietor of
the Entler Hotel, has two fine turkey
gobblers that he is saving for the
slaughter at Thanksgiving. He has
also a bran new carriage that he
bought week or two ago, resplen-
dent in polish and paint. The other
day one of the gobbers strolled into
the carriage-shed, where he esped
his reflection in the glttering panels
of the vehicle. He thought it was a
strange turkey on his premises and it
made him mad in minute. He
jumped for his supposed enemy and
pscked and clawed at his picture at a
furious rate. Mr.. Trussell heard the
commotion after a time, and investi-
gated. He found the carriage sadly
scratched and married and the turkey
almost in apopleXy from rage. He
drove the gobbler away. when it ran
to the other side of the carriage and
renewed the attack. He finally got
it out OF the shed, but its blood was
up and it was not satisfied until il
had found the other gobbler and had
lively scrap with it. Revenge upon
that turkey will come later.

could control it. The ball has been
located, and was cut out by Neterina-

pike, near Smoketown, went to the
barn of his son-in-law, Mr.. Charles
Cline. for a horse, and while leading
him out Of the stable the animal
caught his left arm in his mouth and
started in a gaIIop around the straw
stack. all the while shaking him vi
ciously. His cries brought some OF
the family to his rescue, but it was
some time before the Infatuated ami
NAL could be driven off. Mr. Eavey
was carried to the house and DR..
Duckett, Of Baksrsville, hastily sum
moned, who dressed the wound. On
Friday his condition was such that

ADJUSTING THE LOSSES.
Many of Savannah's Buildings Were
Covered by Storm Insurance.


The storm of 1881 evidently taught
many of the owners of buildings in Savan-
nah a lesson, for the great majority of
them that were damaged by the storm
were insured to the full amount of their
loss.
Mr. H. c. Stockdell and Mr.. Frank
Stoekdell. of Atlanta, We're in the city
yesterday on their return from Charles
ton, where they had been to look after the
losses of the Phoenix Insurance Company
of Brooklyn, which they represent The
Phoenix carried heavy amount of stor m
insurance in Charleston and their los ses
there win reach almost 100000.
In Savannah their losses were lighter
on account of the fact that far less dam
age was done here by the wind. But the
Phoenix will pay out about $4,000 to own
ers of buildings in Savannah. Other
companies have lost quite extensively
here, and their agents are now in the city
adjusting the losses
1t is said that the Continental Union In
surance Company, of London, will be the
heaviest loser in Charleston, as its
losses there will aggregate 100000 The
other companies which sustained losses
in the path of the cyclone are the Hart
ford, the German American and number
of others in London and New York.

THE BELbEvUr's EXCURSION.

About 400 people made the trip on the
Bellevue. The steamer was crowded to
her utmost, capacity and to
such an extent with shifting
freight that she listed fire.
quently, causing considerable excitement
among the ladies1lnd a degree of anxiety
among the male passengers. A large
proportion of the crowd appeared per-
the circumstances and Notwithstanding
the many disadvantages those who
went to visit the wrecks were amply re-
paid. The scene is one which could not fail
to impress itself upon the memory of all
who viewed the once massive and sturdy
ships lying imbedded in the marshes, 1t
was curious and novel sight
The Bellevue left her wharf at 8 O'Clock
and arrived at the bell buoy at 4 las
O'Clock, where a view was had of the
wreck Of the Norwegian bark Harold on
Tybee point.
The return trip was not so pleasant for
those who were satisfied with the results
of their excursion and wanted to get
home. The steamer seemed to labor
heavily, and her passengers became vexed
at her slow progress The engineer ex-
planned, however. that it was dangerous
to run faster with such a crowd, and the
kickers subsidized.
Altogether the trip was a pleasant one,
as many appreciated the novelty which
they expected in seeing the wrecks, and
those who were otherwise engaged kept
to themselves, while the babies inhaled
the bracing sea breeze, and slept through
it all

me SANITARY FORCES clearing Out the
Drains as Rapidly as Possible.
Chairman Folliard of the drainage com
mittee of the city council has reported
to Mayor McDonongh that a thorough
examination of Hutchinson's Island has
been made by the drainage forces at work
there, and no dead bodies of persons or
cattle have been found The have all
been buried or were carried down the
river and lodged on the south side.
The stencil arising from Hutchinson S
island which is very perceptible when
the wind is from that direction, is said to
come from the quantities of decaying veg
citation. This will be disposed of as rap
idly as possible. The bitches and drains
on the island are being cleaned out and
repaired. Mayor McDonough's orders
We're to cremate all dead bodies of cattle
found on the island.
The same conditions exist Back of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
wharyes below the city and the Central
railroad wharves above, and on the
Springfield plantation as on Hutchinson
Island
The quantities of dead fish and frogs
in these localities is something remark
able. Catfish and bullfrogs predominant,
with numbers of other fresh water fish
and occasionally salt water fish. That
salt water fish should have been driven
in numbers so far up the river shows the
severity of the storm
River men are at loss to explain how
so many fish and frogs came to be killed
by the storm. No amount of mud would
kill catfish unless he was kept high and
dry for week, and this fish can easily
undergo fast for the same length of
time, yet there are thousands of them
dead. 1t does not seem reasonable that
the force of the food should have been so
violent as to kill them by Wholesale The
cause of their death seems a mystery.
1t seems strange too, that the bull
frogs should have been destroyed in such
numbers, and yet they are there to show
for themselves. Any quantity of live fish
and frogs were brought in by the waters,
and the negroes had great time catching
them forsa few days
1t will be necessary to make away with
the decaying fish and frogs at once, or
sickness viii be caused in the localities
in which they have accumulated

Arrests as the Result Of Sunday Fra

Recorder Wilson win have a lively time
Of it this morning. There are just thirty
two cases on the police docket as the re-
suit of Saturday and Sundays business.
Ashby Smith and Frank Iverson, two
Yamacraw negroes, had quite a lively
fracas yesterday morning between l and
2 O'Clock, down in the heart of that sec
ton, and the result was that Iverson got
a severe cut in the shoulder. He reported
the matter to the police and Smith was
soon lodged in the barracks.
Hardy Gordon will probably be turned
over to the city court by the recorder for
carrying a concealed pistol, as he was ar

lie made complaint against them, and
had them all lodged in the barracks.
The remainder of the thirty-two cases
are either for drunkenness or disorderly
conduct on the streets, aud TO all appear
ances, it is hard crowd that the recor-
der will have to tackle this morning.
Cases have been made also, it is under
stood, against several more of the Greek
fruit vendors for keeping open their
places on the Sabbath. There were three
of them in this last lot, and their names
will probably be presented to the grand
jury OF the city court at its next meeting
for Indictment. Very few of the cases
made against these fruit dealers some
time ago have as yet been disposed of.

of the party, and will arrange with any
who desire to make the trip.
The Postal Telegraph wires, all of
which left the city in the direction Of the
Central railroad track, and most of
which were between Savannah and Mil
len, were torn all to pieces by the storm,
but Manager Or has got them in shape
now and they are all right, with the ex-
ception of the wire to Charleston. Things
were torn up so badly in that direction
that it has been next to impossible to put
them in shape up to this time.
