Morphine Fiend Came Near Ending
Her Career.
While attending Engineer Dean, who
met death by falling from a window
at the De Soto yesterday morning, DR..
w. B. O'Rear, house physician of the
hotel, received an urgent summons to
attend a woman living on Broughton
street, near Bull who was nearly dead
as the result of an overdose of cocaine.
The woman had passed through the
preliminary stages of excitement which
follow the use of this drug and was
in a torpid senseless state when the
physician arrived.
DR.. Orear's efforts caused her to re-
gain consciousness, but had it not been
that she was a confirmed morphine
fienu and her system has become in
nured to the effects of poison, nothing
could have saved her. She had taken
ten grains of cocaine, enough to kill
half a dozen ordinary people and
eighty times the average amount used
by the slaves of the drug.
1t is supposed that the woman In
tended to commit suicide. her mind
having been effected by constant use
of morphine but she strenuously de-
MES this, saying that she merely took
too much and it put her to sleep" a
sleep which barely missed being last
ing.

BY HIS SHIPMATES
ENGINEER ERNEST DEAN WAS
LAID TO REST.
FELL FROM WINDOW ASLEEP.
WAS TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED ON
HIS RETURN TO IRELAND.

Was % Years Old and Native of
WaterfOrd-Shippe on the Steam
ship BermiIIa at Liverpool a Year
AEO-His Father Prominently Con-
nected With the Neptune Iron
Works Coroner Keller Deemed
an Inquest Unnecessary-NOtih
the Young Mans Father of the
Accident.
The remains of Engineer Earnest
Dean of the steamship Bermil-
la, who was almost instantly
killed yesterday morning about 8
O'Clock by falling from the win
dow of his room on the fourth floor
of the De Soto to the sidewalk below,
were buried in the afternoon in Laurel
Grove Cemetery. Deans home was in
ireland, and as he had no relatives
here, the services were attended only
by his comrades, officers and crew, who
sailed with him out of Liverpool on the
Bermlla. This fact and the young
mans sudden death made the cere-
mony unusually impressive. Rev. J. S.
Lightbourn officiated.
Life was almost extinct when Dean
was found mangled and bleeding on
the sidewalk by the negro, Edgar
Jones, a few minutes after he had
fallen. The theory that he was trying
to cool off and went to sleep while sit
ting in the window is believed to be
true, and as the death was seemingly
accidental Coroner Keller decided that
it would be unnecessary to hold an in
quest. Simon Gamicha, the ships
steward and Deans room mate, said
that he knew nothing of the accident
which befell his cOmrade until he was
awakened by the hotel clerk, after the
body had been discovered. He said
Dean was feeling in excellent spirits
and perfectly rational when he retired,
so that the theory of suicide found
no support. Gamicha also said that
Dean was perfectly sober.
Dean was % years of age, unmarried
and native of Waterford, Ireland. He
shipped on the steamship Bermilla a
year ago. this month, at Liverpool, be-
ing rated as third engineer. He was
a steady, good-hearted young fellow,
and was universally liked by both the
officers and crew of the ship. The first
engineer said that he was to have been
married on his return from this voy-
age, and that he often said he wanted
to get back as quickly as possible. His
father is well-to-do, and is connected
with the Neptune Iron Works at Wat
erford. Coroner Keller cabled him of
the death of his son.

BURGLAR SCARE IN
Mr.. CHESNUT'S HOUSE.
But II Is Thought the MHrauder Was
No More Than Mouse.

But 1t Is Thought the Marauder Was
No More Than Mouse.
A report at the burglar alarm sta
ton to the effect that strange noises
had been heard in the residence of
Capt. j. B. Chestnut, at Hall and Whit
aker streets last night, and that it
was thought burglars were attempting
to effect an entrance. caused a scare
that has not been sprung since the re-
cent operations of the mysterious bur-
glar."
The police were notified, and Sergt.
Davis, Sergt Wood, Patrolman Blum-
berg and several other officers, hurried
to the scene. An investigation dis
closed the fact that there was no one
in the house. All of the windows were
down and securely fastened. In one
of the front rooms however, a wire
screen had fallen from the window,
and lay upon the floor. The fall of the
screen, il is thought, is what caused
the alarm. 1t is conjectured that a
cat caused the screen to fail.
Mr.. Chestnut and his family are not
in the city. He had asked Mr.. Isidore
Collat, a neighbor, to keep an eye on
his house in his absence. When Mr..
Collat heard the noise emanate from
the interior Of the house, he called up
the burglar alarm. If there were any
burglars in the neighborhood they
were frightened away by the squad of
officers who FASTENED to the house to
investigate.

HEAT WAVE BROKEN.
Highest Temperature Registered
Yesterday Was % Degrees.

Yesterday Was 90 Degrees.
The heat wave of the last week has
about subsidized The maximum tenn
perature registered at the Weather
Bureau yesterday was degrees be-
low that of the last several days. the
highest point reached being 95 degrees.
This was at O'Clock in the after
noon. The minimum temperature was
at 6:45 in the morning, when the mer-
curry stood at IS degrees. This made
the mean temperature for the day Sc,
seven degrees above the normal.
The temperature f1uctuated consider
ably owing to the cooling effect of the
two thunder showers which passed
over the city between 2 and o'clock.
The rain caused the mercury to drop
few degrees, but the hot sun, which
shone with unabated vigor immedi-
ately following the rainfall, soon push
ed the temperature up to the higher
figures again. The rainfall in amount
was very small, the instruments not
registering .01 of an inch, yet the
ground was cooled considerably and
the general comfort was greatly in
creased as a result. The clOuding of
the sun cooled the air, and the thank
fulness expressed for the showers was
general throughout the city.
Weather Forecaster Boyer said at
night that the hot spell had been brok-
en- and the probabilities are that to-
day will be even more comfortable
than yesterday. The temperature will
probably be closer to the normal than
it has been in several days.
The cool wave which passed over the
country yesterday missed Savannah,
or at least the greater part of it did,
he It Joa sell
north of here. The temperature
through Tennessee was lowered con-
siderably as was also that of North
Carolina and the northern section of
Georgia also came in for a share of the
delightful GOODNESS. The tempera ture
here at 8 o'clock in the morning was 80
degrees, while at Atlanta at the same
hour it was 70, a difference of 10 de-
grees. AT Knoxville it was even low
er, the temperature there at o'clock
being only ga degrees.
The month of August has been SO
degrees in excess of the normal tenn
perature for the month, though the eX-
cess for the entire year thus far has
been only degrees. The excessive
heat, which began on the 23rd and
which was not broken until last night,
pushed the excess figures up to the
large amount.
The rainfall for the month has been
small, there being a deficiency of 2.41
of an inch. In spite of this fact, how
ever, the amount of precipitation for
the year shows an excess, thus far, of
228 of an inch. These figures show
that the deficiency for August, though
large, has still been insufficient to
bring the average for the year below
the normal. The excess was made up
during the month of May when the
rainfall was 1888 of an inch more than
the normal.

SOLD COTTON IN THE SEED.

Visitors in Savannah report that
farmers throughout the state are ex-
erting every effort to hustle their cot
ton into the market as early as posi-
BILE in order to take advantage of the
present high prices.
A gentleman from Terrell county
said yesterday that planter brought
bale of cotton into Dawson, and
while waiting his turn at the gin re-
ceived and accepted an offer of $50
for his load. This is a remarkable in
cident in the history of cotton raising
in the South, and is an indication of
the belief of buyers that the market
has not yet reached the highest point.

OPENING OF THE
FALL SEASON.
Its Significance in Business and
Other Circles.


Other Circles.
Tomorrow, the first day of Septem-
Der, and the initial day of the fall sea-
son, will not have the significance
throughout the state, and the South,
that it has had in former years. In
the southern portion of the state, where
most papers fall due on the first day
of this month, business men and banks
will have to grant thirty days of grace
instead of three, as heretofore, for a
good deal of business hinges on the
marketing of the cotton crop, and the
late season finds the opening day of
the fall season with little new cotton
on the market.
According to the information in the
hands of local cotton factors, the cot
ton market will not be open, in the full
sense OF the word, until Sept. 10, or
perhaps a few days later. But when
once started the staple will be rushed
to the market rapidly, and the first Ct
October will, no doubt find as much
stock in the hands of the exporters as
the same time last year.
The rule of r, applied to the oys-
ter season, will not work this year.
tions are such that the succulent BIZ
valves are upon the market on Sept. l,
1t will yet be some time. before they
viii be seen in the local markets. The
weather is still much too worm for
oysters, and they are not fat enough to
eat.
Rice birds have already become
plentiful in the local markets, though
the price is still beyond the reach of

Throughout the state business men

ATCE METERY'SGATE
SPRAWLED UPON FLOOR OF BONA
VENTURE STATION
MAN FOUND COLD IN DEATH.
WALKED INTO CEMETERY JUST
BEFORE HE DIED.

Joseph Reynolds Met His Death
from Excessive Drinkfng-Re-
NAMED in BOnnventure station
Nearly All Day in n Drunken
stupOr-StnEgering to His Feet,
He walked Into the Cemetery, ana
Returning, Lnid Down and Died.
Keeling from strong drink, Joseph
Reynolds stepped from a Thunderbolt
car at Bonaventure yesterday A short
while afterwards he was found
sprawled on the floor of the station
near the gate of the cemetery cold in
death, a half empty bottle of whisky
in his hip pocket, indicating strongly
the cause of his death. The coroner
decided that he had come to his death
from organic congestion induced by
excessive drinking.
The man was very bright mulatto
so bright, in fact that those who
viewed the body thought he was white.
Upon his person was found memo
randum book which bore upon the fly
leaf the name of Sam Hamilton, SIT
Charlton street. In the absence Of any
thought for some time that the un-
fortunate man was a white man
named Hamilton.
Reynolds went out to BonaVenture
shortly before noon on Conductor
Beachs car. He had a bottle of whis-
ky at the time, and was very drunk.
AS he stepped from the car he almost
fell. After the car left the station he
stood where ne had alighted in
drunken stupor. The conductor, think
ing that it was nothing more than
case of drunkenness of rather eXag-
gerated sort, paid no more attention
to the man. He left him in the care
of another passenger who had left the
car at the same time.
walked Into Cemetery.
John Robinson. the negro who at
tempted to assist Reynolds, finding that
his companion was unable to walk. al
lowed him to lie down in the station.
He then went home. From his house
near the track he kept watch on him.
After the lapse of about an hour, he
Msaw him stagger to his feet and walk
into the cemetery gate. He returned
and laid down again. He seemed to
be suffering great pain, and groaned
audiblY.
Shortly after o'clock, Robinson went
over to see if he could assist the drunk
en- man. He was dumbfounded to find
that he was dead. All of the conduc-
tors who passed the cemetery during
the day reported that the man was
lying in the station. The news of the
mans death spread rapidly and many
alighted from the cars to view the
PROSTATE form.
No one could identify the man. In
qury at the home of Sam Hamilton
resulted in the disclosure of the name.
Was Once WeII-to-DO.
Reynolds had recently come. to Sa-
vannah from Columbia. S. c. He at
one time had considerable means. be-
ing the proprietor of a livery stable.
He drank heavily and finally exhausted
all of his means in drinking and riotous
living. A short while ago he came to
Savannah in quest of employment.
and during his stay here has hired
himself out as a day laborer.
He has no wife. though he has a
small daughter, who was adopted some
time ago by Dr. Williams a colored
physician. His remains were taken in
charge by Fox 81 Weeks. As there
is no one to. pay the expenses incident
to his transfer to Columbia, he will be
buried here to-day.
