BARK BoRoMA, SAVANNAH, GA, March
13.-Edttor Morning Nelcs: Having pc
rused your much valued paper OF To-Day
we were greatly surprised by the stlgma-
tizing character which was avOwed there
in in our behalf as to the burning OF the
bark John Boyd, from observations mace
by the Captain of the above named vessel
Therefore. we, the undersigned, Mate
and crew of the Boroma, respectfully re-
pudiate such allegations.
In the first place it distinctly states
that we climbed up the ships side from a
boat, whereas we Invariably left a
grocery store in the vicinity, Wnen tne
first ire engine was on its way towards
the Central Press wharf, and were ad-
mitted thereto among the crowd OF Yolun-
teers that were gathering towards the
burning ship.
Secondly. That the inmates (Of the boat
we presume) climbed on board the John
Boyd and stole everything they could lay
their hands on: whereas the Captain and
first mate desired US TO help them to Sc
cure their effects from the cabin and take
the same on board the Wacissa, and,
moreover, promised that payment would
be forthcoming for the services so rem
dered.
Thirdly, 1t states that the ''mate" would
not leave the John Boyd without the Cap
tain threatening to shoot him.
The fact is, the Captain of the John
| Boyd" never spoke one single word to
| the mate of the 'Boroma" during his So
journ on board the said burning ship (nor
any other person, Extensively, }, from mis-
| going Oh board until his departure at half
past a. IN. on the 18th; and, as for the
absurdity of saying that there We're
stores, sails, ETC., carried on board the
| "BOroma," it is truly too ridiculous to
| comment upOn-as the boat OF the 'BorO-
MAJ had not been from alongside the
| "Wacissa" until a. m. OF the 18th, and
! had been sent thereto at the request OF
! an ''officer''-in order to bore holes IN the
! burning vessels side" So, necessarily,
| the mate and crew of the E'BOrOma'' had
| to pass through "two gates" (press) ere
they came on board of their vessel, and
which gates are guarded by Yigllant
| Watchmen.
| The sooner Capt. Grant clears this ''di-
| lemma" and puts his interesting attention
under weigh the better, as the reputation
! of divers men are concerned, as well as
the vessel they are in. Yours very re-
| spectfully,
O.R. ELLIS, Mate of BOrona.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
A Lively Time Expected at Empire Hall
To-day.

To-day.
The Republican County Convention fol
the election of delegates to the District
Convention to be held in Brunswick will
meet this morning at Empire Hall. The
convention will be called to order by tie
Chairman OF the County Committee, Col
lector T. f. johnson.
A lively contest will be made for the
choice of delegates between the two fac
tiOns of the party, led by Collector John
son and Revenue Collector A. n. Wilson.
A MORNING News reporter ran across
Collector johnson last night and asked
him what he thought would be the result
Of the convention.
'If it is fairly conducted" was the re-
ply. "SiX anti-Atlanta ring delegates
will be sent to Brunswick"
Col. Wilson was found behind his desk
in the revenue office, and in reply to
the reporters inquiry if he had anything
to say about the contest for delegates,
said he had nothing to communicate. He
was looking for a lively time at the con-
vention to-day, and intimated that some
developments would be made which would
influence the election of anti-custOm house
delegates.
In regard to the Third district primary,
he stated that instead of rushing in an
opposition Chairman to the recognized
Chairman it was done by large majority
of the caucus.

Put 1t to the Test.

Two friends eve will call them John
and Dick met casually and both had new
suits on. John bought his at the
"FamouS" and was very much pleased.
Dick bought his elsewhere, and not being
a judge of clothing thought his suit just
as good. The Famous says, put the two
suits to the test, wait three months, and
we wager that the ''h'dDeOuS' suit, for less
money, wear better and look better than
any clothes bought elsewhere. We have
often seen it and know it for fact. Our
goods are all manufactured by us for our
trade; nothing is too good for our trade,
and there is as much difference between
our clothing and the ready-made goods
made for appearance. to sell to retailers
as between day and night. We can free
" guarantee our goods, and we agree to
refund the money for any unsatisfactory
purchase made, Famous New York

room for the heavy lines Of Spring Goods

Last spring, just one year ago, an an

that is really appropriate for repetition
to-day. 1t was then stated that Appel

off the remnant of their Winter Stock of
Clothing at disastrously low prices. They
are doing the same this year, to make
room for coming Spring Stock, as well as
for the Spring Goods that have already

The Cadets and the Houston Dim

The Savannah Cadets, at a special
meeting held last night, considered the
question Of participating in the Houston
prize drill and encampment. The majority
of the members Of the company are I'M
derstoOd to be in favor of entering the
contest. No definite action was taken
last night, as a number of the company
were absent. Those present were anxious
to go. If the required number can be Oh
tanned to meet the minimum required by
the rules OF the drill, there will probably
be little doubt as to the certainty of the
"trip. 1t is stated that nearly a sufficient
amount Of money to defray the expenses
of the company has been pledged. The
Cadets are in fine trim, and in the event
OF their participation in the contest, their
chances for bringing home the $4,000
prize are good.

Malt Gin, manufactured by II. II. Shufeldt &

NAL proportion of jumper, unaccOmpanied by
any Injurious or deleteriOus aromatcs. This
property, as well as its pleasant flavor, rem
ders it superior as a pleasant stimulant
djuretic, and 1t may, therefore, be highly
recommended for administration in all cases
in which such an agent is indicated. Com
pared with Imported Gins, simultaneously ex-
amined, it was found to be superior in all the
particulars herein mentioned.

ACTIVITY i'm Securities.

There has been considerable activity
during the past two days in Augusta and
Knoxville : per cent. bonds. Over $500, O00
worth have been sold, and prices have adj
vanced from 1907 to 1887 bid. The pro-
liabilities are that trey will 90 still higher.
Lately there has been considerable money
seeking investment, and these bonds were
found to be most available and cheap.
The recent purchases of quite an amount
of State of Georgia bonds by the East
Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia Railroad
at a heavy premium has caused holders to
sell at a profit, and the most of this money
realized is seeking reinyestment.
