DROWNED FROM A VESSEL.
A Sailor on the Schooner 81 ohm r. Fell''
Falls Overheard and is Lost

About II O'Clock yesterday Swedish
sailor named N. l. Anderson, % years of
age, was drowned off the schooner John
r. Fell, lying at the Lincoln street
wharf
The Boston steamship had just passed
and the swell struck the schooner. The
mate ordered those of the men aft to take
in the slack. Anderson was forward
near the anchor when the mate ordered
him to throw the HEAVIER line ashore. In
dong so he stumbled and fell over be-
tween the vessel and the dock
into the river. He shortly
after rose to within foot of the surface,
and the mate leaned over the side of the
vessel and made an effort to seize HIM by
the hair Of the head, but failed. The body
then disappeared, and was not seen after
wards, having probably been sucked I'M
der the schooner, where it lodged. The
schooner was dropped back length, and
the river was dragged, but the body was
not recovered.
The Captain stated that the deceased
appeared to be very industrious seaman,
and had not been ashore since the vessel
arrived in port. He Joined the Fell at
New York on June 8.

management that the extensive machine
shops and warehouses Ofthe company were
built. In 1859 he resigned his Superin-
tendency TO accept the Presidency OF the
Vicksburg and shreveport Railroad. The
road was rapidly developing when the
war began, but it came TO stand
still, and with the disastrous ending
the war Mr.. Wadley was
appointed Superintendent OF the
Railroad Service of the Confederate States,
with the rank of Colonel. He finally re-
signed, and trouble having come upon
the Central the directors turned to Col.
Wadley. He was asked to return 10
Savannah to take charge OF the line. He
came and was elected President. His
administrative power soon had the
right men in the right place,
and as result the people Of Georgia
soon had the satisfaction OF seeing the
railroad doing its work towards the resto-
ration Of business prosperity in the State.
HIS great ability was not confined eXclu-
siVelY to railroad management. His
broad mind conceived the idea Of. estab-
fishing a line Of ocean steamers which
would place savannah and the Central
Railroad in direct accommodation with the
great trade centres OF the East and West.
The Ocean Steamship Company, with its
feet OF magnificent steamers, was the
result. Besides his public enterprises,
be managed TO find time to devote
to his home and family. He
also found leisure to attend
to the claims Of charity, and was for
many years the able head of the Bethesda
Orphan House. His great work was the
combination Of the railroad system Of
Georgia, and the Central Railroad and
Ocean Steamship Company stand to-day
a monument to his sagacity and his un-
swerying honesty. His remains lie bu-
rjed al his former home in Bolingbroke.
