HIS FACE FILLED WITH SHOT.
A CoIored hoy shot by Companion

A COIOred hoy Shot by Companion.
Arthur Campbell, aged u years. was ac-
cidentally shot on Hutchinson's Island
yesterday afternoon by James Fort, alias
"Quick Step" Both are negroes, who live
on the island.
Fort was sauntering around with a dou-
ble-barreled shotgun and when the acct
dent happened was near Campbelrs home.
Campbell says he left his home and went
into an adjacent field. where he began
chasing a dog. The negro who did the
shooting approached within a few yards
and when Campbell's face was turned to-
ward him, the gun was accidentally dis
charged, and a large part of the birdshot
with which it was loaded took effect in
Campbells face. Two OF the shot en-
tered his right eye, and his face was filled
with them.
The wounded lad was brought to the city
by c. H. Murray and was taken to the
Office of a physician. where his injuries
were given medical attention.

coALIxG STATION AT TYBEE.
IL May BE One of the Things of the
Nenr Euture.

7 do not see why Savannah should not
be made a coalng station for vessels. ="
said a railroad Official yesterday. a sta
ton could easily be established on Tybee
Island. Vessels could be coaled there with
out being put TO the expense and losing
the time that would result from the loca-
ton of the station at Savannah.
In the case of vessels COM
ing from places against which the
quarantine regulations OF the port would
nave to be enforced, there would be no
trouble or expense. The station would be
located below the quarantine wharf, and
vessels could easily lie near the mouth of
the river without danger of disease being
communicated, even though the germs
might be aboard
Coal could be obtained from the coal
fields Of Alabama or Tennessee. Low
rates could probably be- made by the rail-
roads for the industry, the lines leading
from that territory having long hauls 10
savannah. There is no doubt that there
would be many vessels to coal here.
though Norfolk, as an instance, and other
ports further up the coast, are better To-
Gated for the business. On reaching Sa-
Vannah, going and coming, between the
ports of the east and of the Gulf, the coal
supplies of the vessels are usually not ex-
hausted- They generally hold out until
port farther TO the north, as Norfolk, is
reached, and 1t is there that they put
Ia to have their bunkers replenished.
Norfolk has excellent facilities for
coaiing vessels. a trestle runs out into
the water and from this the coal is run
aboard. If such a plan for coaling could
De rugged up on Tybee, 1 see no reason
why lt would not become a profitable ven
ture."
The ideas may fall in with those of
some Of the energetic coal dealers of the
city. If such is the case, there is a. good
chance Of seeing a station established at
Tybee. The coal fields, of Virginia are
nearer than those from which the sup
plies would have TO come for the station
but the railroads. it is said, would feel
disposed to aid in the enterprise to the
extent of making low rates.

A SCRAPPING MATCH.
A Tale Told of a Lady who Is ara
Athlete.

There are number of ladies in this city
who are perfect athletes. Some of then
make 1t lively for their bubbles when they
come in a little late. A case has beer
recently cited where a gentleman went
home from the club, and, on general prin-
ciples, began to make kick His better
half did not do a thing to him. She sim
ply took him by the neck and biffed him
one. 1t took two doctors, two nurses, his
mother-in-law and old dad to bring him
around
There's a moral in this story, and must
be closely observed. If you want your
wife to be a strong, healthy athlete, let
her buy her meats from Logan, and YOU
be careful not to make unnecessary kicks
when you go home. If you wish your
wife to be a puny sickly Individual, YOU
can buy your meats anywhere. You'll
prefer her to be in good shape and condi-
ton, and therefore, will let her trade with
Logan.-ad.

ROBBED HIS EMPLOYER.
Jerry Lumpkin's Thievery Landed
Him in Jail.


Jerry Lumpkln. a negro driver who has
been in the employ of A. B. Hull & Co.,
five years, was caught stealing produce
from the store Of his employers yesterday
afternoon. A warrant was issued for his
arrest, at the instance of Mr.. Hull, and af-
ter an examination before Justice Wick
ham, he was committed 70 JAN to await the
action of the grand jury.
The superstition at the store of Hull &
Co., is that the man, who has always been
considered one Of the most trustworthy
of drivers, has been carrying on his dep
relations for some time, though there is
no positive evidence to this effect He was
caught by enc of the clerks, who CHANGED
to spy him, secreting a side of bacon be-
meath the seat of the wagon, just before
time for leaving the store for the barn to
stable the horses.
When the clerk had verified his suspic-
ions that Lumpkin was intending to steal
the meat, he reported the matter to Mr..
Hull who went to the Office of Justice
Wickham and obtained a warrant.
After the arrest was made, another dis
covery revealed that Lumpkin had been
preparing for a Sunday feast as he had
also secreted ten-pound can of butter
in the stable, ready to take to his home
when the opportunity presented Itself
These facts proved a surprise to both Mr.
Hull and the employees Of the firm, because
the man had been connected with them so
long, as an employe, that he had the con-
fidence of all It is said he was receiv-
ing better pay than any of the other driv-
ers. and was sort of custodian of the
