As a member of Track No. 1, ne was introduced to our fire? men, among whom kl ) genial disposition and manly qualities gained him many a friend. His funeral was also attended by the members of Marlon Lodge, No. 2, L 0. 0. F., and Friendship Lodge, No. 4, K. P. A SUGGESTION FOR THE GENEROUS.-Among the numer?os sufferers who are now experi? encing the care and attention o? the Howard Association, there are numbers Just convales? cing from severe attack s of illness. The asso? ciation, of course, lost property by the war, and since Its hastv organization last month finds as much as li can do in administering bare comforts to the numerous applicants for its bounty. The little luxuries, such as sugar, limes, preserves, ic, It cannot afford to dis? pense, and the convalescing poor cannot afford io buy them. We have been requested to make this statement. Any donations ol the above articles would be of much assistance to the as? sociation in its noble work. HABEAS CORPUS.-William Grant and Ash? ley Carrere, the two colored boys who were committed to jail some weeks ago for cutting the ankle o? a white boy named Mitchell, were brought before Trial Justices Caulfield and Magrath yesterday afternoon, upon a writ o? habeas corpus, the jailor as usual refusing to release the prisoners upon an order from the committing Justice. Upon examination lt was shown that Carrere was merely an acces? sory to the offence, and, though present, the cutting was done entirely by Grant. After hearing the evidence the Justices released Car? rere upon his giving ball in tta sum o? $200 for bis appearance at the next term of the Court of General Sessions. Grant was again committed to Jail, where he will await his trial. HATS IN PAWN.-The conductors on the City Railway have not generally the most agreeable time In the world; but one o? their greatest plagues id the habit ol the street urchins of clinging to the sides and platforms o? the cars and shouting defiance at theitvenemy. They take good care to keep out of the reach of the driver's lash, and as the conductor moves about have frequent opportunities of stealing rides. This is not all; but accidents will happen, and of course attempts will be 4nade to make the company responsible. These urchins should e turned over at once to a policeman. Yesterday evening a shrewd conductor seized the bats of one or two of these gamins as they clung to the windows of his car, and notwithstanding the yelling and crying of the owners, the hats were held in pawn. The boys had their ride, and their hats will be held until ihe fare ls paid. LOAFERS DISPERSED.-The corner of King and Line streets has of late been the favorite evening resort of a band of colored men and boys, and the complaints of the disturbance caused by their loud talking and other disor? derly conduct to the neighbors, made lt neces? sary to bring the matter to a close. On Wed? nesday evening the crowd was as large and noisy as usual, when the policeman on duty ordered them to be qnlet and disperse. In? stead of obeying this order, lt only furnished something to langh at, and drew down on the head of the official a spirited abuse and num? berless taunts. He went Into the crowd, who lelt as he came, and captured three colored youths, named Llmus and Henry Johnson and John Robinson. The rest disappeared in a hurry, and the three prisoners were lodged in the Guardhouse. Having been brought before the Mayor, they were sentenced each to pay a fine of two dollars or go to the House of Cor? rection for five days. The trio were not over? burdened with the filthy lucre, and went to the House. THE HEALTH OF THE CITY. The city registrar.

We regret to hear that the returns from St. Lawrence's Cemetery are again very late in coming in. Chloride of Lime. A largo quantity of this effective disinfectant has been bought by .the city, and can be ob? tained free ol charge on application at the Up? per and Lower Guardhouses and at the City Hospital. The hot sun, after the rains ol the first part of the week, renders it more Impera? tive than ever that citizens should use this ar? ticle freely. It can be obtained free of expense, and a thorough application o? it upon each one's premises may prevent a long series of calamities. Send for the lime. Clearing off the Water. Cnlei M. H. Nathan, accompanied by Messrs. Street and Smith, have had an Interview with the Mayor, at which the steam fire engines were offered to the city for use in pump? ing out the water which has gathered in Hie cellars and low places of ihe city, owing to the recent ralas. The terms were that the city should furnish a pair of horses, or more, suf? ficient to pull i!i? engine from place to place; and the ilp.yor says that the rate ol compensa? tion demanded was thirty dollars a day, and not thirty-five as stated in the Courier of yes? terday. The offer is now under advisement by the Mayor and street inspector. It is prob? able that at the end of the five days' notice re? quired by the ordinance, the cellars ond lots will be Inspected, and the engines used to pump out such water as may be found in these places. In this manner lt is expected to make the citizens, whose cellars or lots are not clear at the end of the five days'notice, pay the expenses of the engine used to pump them out. MR. JOHN MARSHALL, JR.-One of the most prominent young merchants of our city dletl on Wednesday evening at his residence, in Washington street, In the thirtieth year ol his age. Mr. Marshall was a native Charles tonian. At the outbreak ol the late war for Southern independence he espoused the cause ol his State with youthlul ardor, and. havlug joined the Hampton Legion, he served through the entire W.JC, sharing in all the va? rying fortunes of that famous corps. When the war was over Mr. Marshall returned to his native city and embarked in the naval stores business upon his father's wharf. His remarka? ble energy and business talentslwere notlong In making themselves felt, and their effects were apparent In the rapid growth of a large and lucrative business. H s operations were on an extensive scale, and he made large sales, both for the domestic and European markets. Mr. Marshall was ill but a short time, and a few hours before his death it was hoped that he had recovered. A relapse, however, fol? lowed and he passed gently away, leaving a widow and two small children. His lunera! took place yesterday afternoon at the Second Presbyterian Church, and was largely at? tended. "NO MONOPOLY." Opening of the Southern and Atlantic Telegraph Company. The Southern and Atlantic Telegraph Com paoy opened Its Charletton offices yesterday, and is now ready for tbe transaction of all the business that may offer. Messages will be sent, with accuracy and promptitude, to all points North and Northwest at reduced rates; and the business men of Charleston are now, for the first time, in a position to realize the solid advantages of telegraphic competition. The high telegraphic rates charged in the Soutb, as compared with the North, has been a subject of complaint for years. It was due to the absence of competition. The Western Union Company monopolized the business, and, having no fear of opposition, charged Just what they pleased. This was only natu? ral. THE CHARLESTON NEWS would not be as good and as cheap a paper as it is, If no olher daily journal were printed in South Carolina. There have been, of course, occasional reduc? tions of rates on the part of the Western Union Company, but these were induced by an ex? pectation that some rival would enter the held, and, when the danger blew over, the rates were advanced to something above the original level. Experience bas shown that, with telegrams as with letters, the Increase in business which springs from a reduction of price makes the lower rate quite as profitable as the higher or?-. This led to the organization of the South? ern and Atlantic Telegraph Company, whose motto is, No Monopoly and Low Rates. Ample precautions were taken to prevent the new company from being bought out by the West? ern Union, and stock was liberally subscribed In the cities through which it passes. These stockholders and their friends hold the for? tunes of the company in their hands. They can make it brilliantly successful, if they so desire, and they must know that, ll the West? ern Union Company could again monopolize the Held, it would soon make every business man pay, in increased prices, all the losses lt had incurred while lt was fighting against com? petition. The Southern and Atlantic Company ls completed irom the North to this city, and ls nearly finished to Savannah. As rapidly as possible the line will be pushed on to New Or? leans. That competition will be an immense saving to the business public is shown by the lactthat not long ago the Western Union Company charged $1 85 for a ten word message from Charleston to New York. When lt became manlfeet that the new company was nearly ready to start, the Western Union rate was re? duced to $1 60. The rate of the Southern and Atlantic is only $1 20. We remember the time, not a century ago, when the Western Union charged as much as $2 10 for a ten word New York telegram. This ls a case in point. The Southern and Atlantic Company are in? debted for many acts of kindness to Mr. Syl? vester Kl jg, of this city, who, at great Incon? venience to himself, tested and worked the line until the arrival of the company's opera? tors. Mr. King is an expert operator, although he bas followed another profession for a num? ber of years. The offices of the company are at the corner of East Bay and Broad streets, immediately opposite the new Postofflce. They will be open from 7 A. M. to 19 P. M. E. Lafitte, Esq., of the .firm of E. Lafitte & Co.? is the director of the company for South Caro* lina._ THE MACON STREET CARS.-Eight new street cars, intended for the Macon City Raliway, arrived In this city yesterday by the steamship Georgia, from New York. The cars were landed on the wharf, and No. 1, marked, "Depot and Cotton Avenue," as lt came down presented quite a smart appearance. The cars are smaller than our street cars, and are made with but one platform, upon which the driver is to sit. In the rear ls a simple step, upon which the passengers will ascend, and the car ls furnished with a money box, to obviate the necessity of a conductor. The wheels are not solid, but have iron tires, with strong spokes of the same material, and the whole appear? ance ot the car is light und neat They were dragged up to the Ann street depot, whence they will be shipped by the South Carolina Railroad for their destination.

TOOMER PORTER, Rector of the Parochial School, Charleston, S. C. TUE FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH. CHARLESTON, 8. C., September 14. TO THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS. I see by this morning's paper that some method is to be adopted by the City Council at their next meeting, to prevent, in future, the great and damaging delays in ringing the fire alarm to which we have been subjected for some time past. The importance of this step is apparent lo every citizen. We ail know that lhere has been great tardiness upon several occasions in having the alarms promptly and properly sounded, thereby causing great loss of proper? ty, which our people in their present impover? ished condition can ill afford to loose. I would suggest to the City Council the feasibility ol' j having the tire alarm telegraph rebuilt. Thal i3 the only way of properly remedying the ex? isting evils. I have been told by one who knows that a fire alarm lele^ragh can be built here for ?20,000, and be more complete and reirular than that here prior to the war, which, I am told, cost about $60,000. Our sister eily (God save Hie mark) Savan? nah has recently adopted the alarm spoken of, and, from what I can learn, lt works like a charm. The fire alarm here, prior to the war, re? quired two sets of wires over the entire eily; une ol which was used for transmitting the alarm from the station box to the fire alarm room, in the Lower Guardhouse, where it was registered upon a dial. A man there, who had to be on watch all the lime, then rang the bells over the city by means ol ihe other set of wires. By this new method the bells are rung direct from the station box by the policeman or fire? man, who first discovers the fire, and in an instant ever) body knows exactly where the location is. The merits or this new method ls plainly established by the lact that the services of three or four men at the Guardhouse, and one set of wires, are entirely dispensed with, and Instead of paying $60,000 ior an alarm, we get one equally as good, and generally con? ceded to be better, for $20,000. 1 understand this alarm has been in success? ful operation in Boston, Chicago. Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Buffalo, Baltimore, and a snore or so more ol Northern cities, for a number ol years, lo any or all of whom refer? ence ls made Tor evidence of its great supe? riority and value and uniform reliability. Bv ail means let us have a fire alarm tele? graph. CITIZEN. B USINE S S NOTICES, *^ ATTENTION is invited to the advertisement o? securities wanted and lor sale by A. C.
