The Spanish schooner Fortuna is in an
unfortunate condition. Her owners have

Live stock Insurnnrs.

Large sums of money are invested in
horses, mules, and other live stock for
business purposes, and like any other in
vestment which is liable to loss, should
be covered by insurance. The Peoples
Live Stock Insurance Company some time
since established an agency in this city
-Messrs. W. T. Seward & Co., 100 Bay
street-for the purpose OF affOrding pro-
mails, and have succeeded, as will be seen
by a notice in another column, in
securing as patrons many of our business
men. The question OF the value OF such
insurance is we'll worthy OF the attention
OF owners OF live stock, aud the agents in
this city will be glad TO give any infor-
nation asked for on the subject.

Mars Story OF His Voyage, and His
Discovery of the Abandoned Vessel.
A Washington dispatch to the NEWS
says that the Signal Corps at smithville
reports that the derelict American
schooner Martha Brewer was set on fire
in the Gulf Stream southeast OF Savannah
on Jan. 90. The three men placed aboard
of her by the schooner Fannie 4. Wolston,
which arrived at Tybee on Thursday,
were taken off by the British schooner
Ferland, now off Cape Fear bar. The
Martha Brewer is the vessel the revenue
cutter Boutwell, was instructed to cruise
for.
The Wolston arrived up from quaran-
tine yesterday. Capt. Mari reports a very
rough passage from Avis island, during
which he encountered a succession Of
heavy gales from the west south west and
west north west. The vessel rode out the
gale OF Jan, rs without damage. On Jan.
%, in lat. 27.5l, lon. 1912, she spoke the
schooner Pearl Nelson three days out
from Charleston for Baracoa with all on
board well.
On Jan. 81, in lat. SO;57, long.
1903, the Wolston fell in with the
schooner Martha Brewer, abandoned.
The Captain boarded her, and found her
mainmast, foremost and bowsprit all
right, but her mizzenmast gone 10 feet
below the crOsstrees, with everything at
tached. Her maiDsail and epanker were
blown away. Her fOresail after some re-
pairs was rebent for a mainsail, but her
forestaysail was badly used UP. Her jib
was all right. Compasses were found
aboard Of her, but she had neither side
lights nor signal lights. These Capt.
Mari supplied. He also put aboard of
her a small boat and other necessary
equipments. She was supplied with
plenty of provisions, water and oil.
After pumping out her hold, the mate,
james Petersen, and two seamen, VIM.
Smith and Christian GjeTuldsen, of the
WOlsJOn, was put aboard Of her to work
her into port. Capt. Mari thought that it
would take from 10 to 10 days to bring her
in, as she WAS poorly equipped with sails,
and the WOlston had none to give her.
She was then about 125 miles northwest
Of Savannah.
The vessel, according to the dispatch
received last night, was fred two DAYS
after she parted with the Fannie f. VOL
stOn on Jan. 9th. On the day following,
Jan. %, she was spoken by the steamer
Darwin, from New Orleans to Liverpool,
and declined assistance.

Celestial Laundrymen Celebrate The
Chinese New Years.
To-day will witness the last of the three
DAYS festivities in celebration Of the Chi
nese new year. The twelfth anniversary
Of the reign OF the present Emperor Of
China occurred on Wednesday, as well as
the beginning of the 6,715th year in the
Chinese calendar. IL is more widely OBJ
served than any Christian holiday, for it
is celebrated all over China, in India,
Australia, Cuba, South America, and the
United states.
There is scarcely town in the United
States in which the day does not mark to
two or three persons the beginning of a
year differing by more than 1900 years
from that Of the Christian era. In almost
every town and hamlet in the country two
or three persons knelt before a wooden
god and muttered prayers, asked protec-
ton from dragons and picked wooden
sticks out Of bowl for good luck. the
festivities continue for three days and
will end tonight.
The Chinese colony in Savannah is not
very large, but every member OF il re-
membered the day, though in a quieter
way and with less ecl0t than do the Celes-
tials in the big cities.

YOUNG BLACKWELL FOUND.
He is Discovered on n Farm In Putnam
County and Refuses to Leave.

He is Discovered on Farm In Putnam
County and Refuses to Leave.
The NEWS announced some days ago
the finding of Daniel Joseph Blackwell,
the lost orphan BOY, on a farm in Putnam
county.
The boy and his sister, who is now
in the Female Orphan Asylum in
this city, have been the subject Of consid
cradle controversy. MIR. George Nor
throp. OF Baltimore, the childrens' half
brother, who claims to be their legal
guardian, made an effort last month
to secure possession Of the girl.
The girls relatives resisted and
Mr.. NOrthrop returned to Baltimore. Be-
fore leaving Savannah he stated to a
NEWS reporter that he had discovered
the boys whereabouts.
The boy, 1t seems, was taken from
the Methodist Orphans Home in
Macon by Mr.. J. W. ANDERSON.
that the gentleman who took young
Blackwell from the Home was j. j. Am
erson, of Macon. On account Of the fact
that his name had been mentioned in con-
neetiOn with BlackwelPs, Mr.. j. j. Am
erson determined, if possible, TO find the
boy. A lady informed him that she
thought Black well was In Putnam coun.
". Last Saturday Mr.. ANDERSON went TO
Putnam county and found him on the
farm Of man named DuPree. He was
employed as a common day laborer. Mr..
Anderson told Blackwell that Mr.. Northrop
was searching for him. and tried TO in
duce the boy to return to Macon In order
that he might place himself in cOmmuni-
cation with Mr.. Northrop. BY DuPree's
| advice, Blackwell refused to DO as Mr..
ANDERSON urged him. DJPree told Black
we'll, according to the Macon Telegraph,
that he could obtain his fortune without
going either to Macon or to Baltimore.
''All you will have to do" said DuPree,
SIS to have a guardian appointed in GeOr-
gia, and he viii force Northrop To give up
your property. You can then invest 1t as
you please"
Mr.. Anderson told Blackwell that he
would do well to place himself in commu-
nication with Mr.. NOrthrOp. but the boy,
whose reputation, il seems, is somewhat
unsavory, positively refused to take any
steps not Endorsed by DuPree.
Mr.. Anderson, it is stated, has written
to Mr.. NOrthrOp, informing him of the facts
as detailed. 1t is thought that Mr.. Nor
throp will arrive in Macon in few days,
and, II necessary, take legal steps TO OBJ
tain the custody Of Blackwell.
Mr.. Robert Hunt, a relative OF the
Blackwell children, said last night that
Mr.. Northrop had abandoned the idea of
obtaining possession Of the girl, who still
remains in the orphan asylum.
