A Sailor Story.

From the ADGtdchtcOI4 (FLG.l Tri6uns.
1t is amusing to listen to the talk of
old salts who have known the vicissitudes
and dangers OF the deep, deep sea. 1t
was our pleasure few evenings ago to
hear some OF the experience at sea of
that grum, but gOod-hearted old sea dog,
Capt. Bert Thomas, who has mastered
some of the finest vessels ever launched,
every rig from a skif and
shirt-tail. One Of his first trips
across the 'pond," as the old tar
calls the ocean, was in the fast sailing
canal steamer r. NJ. Samuels. "We had
beautiful weather" he began. 81 had
been tOwed out to sea by the wheelbarrOw
tug Charles Buttertield without accident,
except thump or two as we got abreast
OF He'll Gate, on the rocks which
stove In the hog CHAINS on the
hurricane roof and split her 'foretop-
galusls,' then we stood out to sea, with a
cargo of cotton for HavTe. Everything
was propitious. l cracked on all the can
vas she could carry. l tell you the good
old ship made that thing you call time,
and she done 1t proper. 1t was on May l,
1912, when | started, and on May IA, at
O'Clock in the morning, the r. NJ. Samuels
lay anchored In the port of Havre, hav-
ing made the trip in just fourteen
days to the minute. This is said to have
been the most remarkably fast voyage
ever sailed by an American vessel. But
the most remarkable part of the whole
voyage remains to be told. We were lay
ing alongside the wharf ready for sea
again and only waiting for a tide, when |
received "A telegram that a gale was COM
ing up the Mediterranean, and that the
Portuguese bark Nick Comforter and the
brigantine VanHorn had already been
lost. Now the Comforter belonged to the
same firm as the Samuels, and was sister
vessel, but I'll swear, gentlemen, 1t may
sound strange and foolish to say on ac-
count of the vessels being mates they
should have such a thing as sympathy for
each other, but 'plaggone my trampy
SOUL Just as soon as | read that telegram
on deck to the mate the whole bottom fell
out of my vessel and she sunk lying along
side the Havre wharf"
When the Captain had finished HIS yarn
some man in the crowd groaned. but Jack
was there, who happened to be the mate
on the Samuels at the time, and said he'd
swear to it. Then there was a scene
which would have delighted the hearts Of
our readers to have witnessed. These
two men who had parted In Havre in
1912, after the bottom had fallen out
of the Samuels, had never seen each
other since, and just when the miraculous
tale was related, and perhaps needed con-
tirmatiOn, here was Jack to do so, and the
meeting of the two old tars was affecting,
and tears stood in the eyes of each as their
horny hands met in generous, honest
squeeze which would have made lemon
as dry as powder. 1t is useless to add
that the usual ceremonies and refresh
ments were gone through with after the
happy meeting.

The Illegal Voters.

AS our readers will remember, the con.
test last spring over the election for Ordi-
nary in this county brought to light the
fact, mainly on the showing of the Tax
Collectors books, which were produced
in evidence, that about 400 Illegal votes
had been cast in that election. At the
March term of the Superior Court the
grand jury found indictments against
these persons, and the indictments we're
turned over to the City Court.
AT the June term of the
City Court these cases were continued
mainly because so large a portion Of the
county WAS interested in one way or
other. Wednesday the first Of these cases
came up--seven persons pleading guilty.
The court accepted the pleas, and Judge
Harris said that while he considered the
crime Of which they were indicted one Of
the highest crimes against the State, still,
as 1t WAS so general, he thought best TO
make the penalty as light as possible;
that SIS, exclusive of costs, was a light
fine, but that $l5 was also large amou mt
for a poor man 10 pay. He then enter ed
fines of $l5 each, exclusive OF costs.
The remaining cases were continued till
Friday, on account OF pressing business
on the civil docket.
Col. Clements made the statement that
he and Col. Ross had agreed to reduce
their fees, that the costs may fall inside
Of the Sl5.
Col. }. /. Wright took considerable in
terest in these proceedings. He is said TO
be retained for $50 Of the defendants.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 49, 1885,

run smoothly in the Mcintyre family.
The young husband and wife grew weary
of the bonds, which two years ago they
assumed in a freak OF juvenile affection.
Finally they went apart, the 15-year-old
mother taking her child with her. Young
Mcintyre has filed bill, asking
the Superior Court TO annul their
marriage. He sets forth that he was too
young to legally marry two years ago, be-
ing only Is years old, while the law re-
quired that he should be at least IT. His
wife was only 10, whereas she should have
been at least 10 TO marry legally. He also
declares that his mind and feelings were
not sufficiently mature to subject him to
the responsibility Of such solemn CON
tract. The law makes the child legitimate
in spite of the inoapaclty of the parents to
make a legal matrimonial contract Nc
Intyre says he will support the child and
do what he can to conduce to the happi-
ness of his young wife, but he thinks it
lust and fair that the marriage should be
set aside as illegal, and both parties be
left free to marry again. 1t is a novel
case.

Swinging Pepper Sauce.

There is one man in Macon who cannot
be hurt much by prohibition. He has
drank so much whisky that it takes some
thing more powerful than raw whisky TO
satisfy his craving for stimulants. A
customer was enjoying a bit of Kansas
beefsteak the other day at certain
restaurant, and noticed this man drop
into a seat at a table. When ne thought
himself unobserved he snatched up the
pepper sauce bottle, and no hand-raised
infant ever drained its milk flask with
more gustO than did this man the fiery
vinegar from that bottle. The proprietor
saw him as he placed the empty bottle on
the table, and the man skunk out of the
room like a whipped spaniel.
"That occurs often" said the proprie-
tor, noticing the customers look OF aston
ishment. "That man win empty every
pepper sauce bottle in this room If | would
allow him. He refused drink of whisky
the other day on the ground that nothing
less than dozen drinks would be Of any
benefit to him. . ..
For the past two years this man has
been stealing pepper sauce from the Ma
con restaurants. His throat and stomach
must be copper-bound. '

We were shown yesterday paper, the
Newport Mercury, or the WeekIg AdUer-
tiser, published at Newport, Il. l., on
Tuesday, Dec. 10, 1853, by James Franklin
The paper contains report OF the fall of
FIT. DuQuesne. At the bottom of an adj
vertising column the publisher makes
this ambiguous announcement in paren-
thesis: advertisements Inherited in our
laft and omitted, will he in our next"
Instead of giving name OF proprietor and
place of publication at its masthead, the
following notice is found at the foot Of the
fourth page:
eNew Port, Rhode Island; printed by
James Franklin, at the printing office
under the Town School, by whom sub
scriptions and advertisements are taken
in"
The best Liverpool salt is offered at the
remarkable bargain price of 93 IS. for the
single bushel.
The paper is certainly curiosity, and
is highly priced by Mrs. Jane White, OF
this county, who is now 70 years old, and
the paper was left her by her father, who
was staunch young subject of old King
George before eloquent Patrick Henry
lighted the torch of liberty.

A Sad Story.
From he Sandersviile Heraid


Mrs. Stavely, the wife ofG. w. stavely,
a convict 10 the county Ghain-gang, died
at the camp at Mr. j. il. Jacks0D's last
week Of hemorrhagic fever, after an ill
ness OF a few days. Beihg In very needy
circumstances, Mr.. Jackson very humane
ly allowed her to live on his place, and
aided in supporting her and her five chill
dren. Her husband was discharged on
Sept. 10 CHS term having expired },
and, on the day before, she re-
ceived her discharge from the woes and
burdens of life, leaving her husband and
five motherless children TO 90 out and
battle under dark and sad surroundings
with the conflicts OF life. The wife's de-
vOtion to her convict husband, probably
causing her death, attests the sincerity
Of woman's love. The case Is truly a sad
one, and all good people will join in the
hope that her husband, having atOned for
his former crimes, and under the cloud
of this great sorrow, will enter upon n
higher and nobler life, esst a.a

COWS grazing loose. They went over into
