EARLY SHIP BUILDING.

Brunswick Built the First Square Rig
ger that was Ever in this Port.
From the Brunstoicl; (Ga.) Advertiser Appeal.
"The first square-rigged vessel in this
port was built right here by Lamar and
others, from Savannah. She svas a full
rugged ship and was named Henry duBig-
non. That was in 1888 or 1910, some ten
years before the time Mr. Hatch speaks Of.
The duBlgnon was launched from the
bluff right where Ullman's store now
stands, and that night they had a grand
party aboard and a dance. T. ey had big
time. and in the frolic one of the guests
stepped on Capt. Lightburn's eg and broke
it, and that saved Capt IS life, for he was
to sail her, but could not go on account of
the accident, SO another man went as cap
tain"
well, but how did that save his lifeF'
we asked.
"Well. you see, the duBignon was never

presumption is the ship and crew were
all lost"

A fellow named Pete Rowe bet $50 that he
could dive across this river His bet was
taken in a minute and the money put up.
The chap was kind OF a wedge-shaped
fellow-he pulled off his clothes and into the
water ne went headforemost. The crowd
stood and watched, and finally gave him up
for lost, but about that time he popped up
right under the marsh on the other Shore

TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
A. A. FLEETWOOD ATTEMPTS SUI
eide WITH POISON.

The Former Editor Of the Pierce

I cult Rider Tires of Life, and IN Fit
of Dependency Swallows a Dose OF
Choral and Morphine-His First At
tempt to Jump Out of Window
Frustrated.
A. A. Fleetwood, formerly OF Blackshear,
but recently living at No. 203 Congress
street, attempted suicide yesterday morn
ing by taking an overdose of choral and
morphia. For several months Mr.. Ellen
wood has been in i'll health and has been
troubled with insomnia. A month ago be
came from Blackshear to Savannah and
rented house on Congress street and
opened boarding house, and Mrs. Ellen.
wood managed affairs.
THREATENED TO TAKE HIS LIFE.
Several times during the past month. in
fits of dependency, Fleetwood has threat
ened to kill himself, but his wife, little
dreaming that he meant what he said, paid
no attention to him further than sbaming
him of such a conardly step. He seemed
feebler yesterday than he has for
some time and repeated his threat.
his wife tried TO disahuse his mind of such
rash act. and at o'clock left him in his
room, while she went out to do some shop
ping. During her absence he grew desper-
ate.
TRIED TO JUMP FROM WINDOW.
Going upstairs and moving a bed away
from before window opening on Congress
street he started to jump out, but was dis
covered by parties on the street and was
prevented from doing 50. For few mo-
ments he seemed to be calm, but as soon as
he was alone he secured an ounce bottle of
choral, which he had been using to prevent
insomnia, and he gulped down the drug.
When his wife returned, trembling with
exhaustion, he handed her the glass out of
which he had taken the poison, and throw
ing himself across the bed, he fell into a
stupor and seemed to be dying
IN THE DOCTORS HANDS.
His wife ran ont and informed the neigh
bors, and Drs Norton and Boyd were sum
moned. Emetjcs were give1. The sick
man was moved constantly about, and after
some time the m, dicine acted, and he be-
gan to resuscitate. Two colored men walked
the SICK man about the room until q late
hour in the afternoon, when he seemed to
get over the poison. His physicians visited
him at late hour last night, and said then
that the patient was resting quietly, and
Jndt no WOuIu DE recovered THIS morning.
EDITOR AND PREACHER.
Mr.. Ellenwood was for two years previ-
GUS to coming to Savannah, editor and pro-
proprietor of the Pierce County Enter
prise. He was also for eleven years cir
cult rider of the South Georgia Methodist
Conference. He is an elocutionist and

said last night that she would endeavor to
have him sent to the asylum as early as
possible.

ON RAIL AND oRoSsTIa.
Local and General Gossip In Railway
Circlea

Chief Engineer Arthur Pou writes that
everything is ready to begin grading on the
Alabama Midland and that the work has
only been delayed on account OF the yellow
fever Quarantine. 1t was expected to com
mence work Nov. l.
The opening of the Mexican National
road to San Luis Potosi was celebrated in
that city Nov. l, in grand style. President
D1az and many other distinguished guests
were invited, and the occasion was, no
doubt, marked by much enthusiasm. The
city of San Luis Potosi, which is one OF
the chief commercial points in the republic,
Is experiencing veritable railway boom.
The general manager of a California rail
way was the other day forcibly put OFT
from one of his own trains, the trainmen
having changed their allegiance to new
management which had taken possession OF
the property without his knowledge. Al
though the road is only aboutten mics long,
the superseded manager was not even given
the courtesy of free ride for that distance,
but on his declining to pay, the conductor
and brakeman forcibly lande him on terra
firma in spite of his vigorous protests and
resistance.
Where a railroad company receives
freight for shipment, and its employees
strike, or cease to work for the company, it
is still bound to forward the freight within
reasonable Time; but IL the strlke IL ac-
companied with violence and intimidation,
so as to render it unsafe to forward the
freight, the company is thereby relieved
from liability for delay, especially when
the resistance made by strikers is of such a
character as could not be overcome by the
company, or controlled by the civil authori-
ties when called upon by it. SO held an
Ohio court.
One who participates in the organization,
and acts as its president, is not relieved from
liability on subscription to its capital
stock not having been paid in, by pur-
chasing other paid up stock Of the corpora
ton equal - the amount subscribed for,
and causing an original certificate to issue
thereon to himself in lieu of his subscrip-
ton, such substitution not being warranted
by the terms Of subscription, charter, or
bylaws, though the corporation may have
ratified such purchase, and there were no
liabilities at the time. One who partici-
pates in the formation of a corporation,
and acts as its president, can take no ad-
vantage OF informalities in its organization,
and as to him his charter and bylaws are
binding 50 held the supreme court OF North

One of Savannah's Best Known Mer-
chants Passes Away.
The business community was surprised
yesterday to learn of the death of William
j. Sans, Esq, which occurred at a. M

three years ago, and engaged in the cotton
business, which he carried on until his
deatl. He was very reserved
and unobstrusive gentleman, and
merchant of the strictest in
tegrity. He belonged to family which
has always stood high in the state, and was
a granddaughter of the late distinguished
Hon. William II. Crawford, and a nephew
of Hon. N. C. Barnett, the present secre
tary Of state. He was 80 years of age

Jim the Penman" Tonight.

"Jim, the Penman" will be the attraction
tonight and tomorrow night with F. c.
Bangs and Miss May Brooklyn, two Savan-
nah favorites, in the cast. The play itself
is familiar to Savannah theater-goers. The
NeiCS and Courier says of Monday nights
performance in Charleston that it was an
admirable one. "Jim, the Penman," was
acted by Mr.. Bangs. The audience was
evidently pleased with the part from the
beginning to the close Of the play. He was
applauded time and again. The finest part
OF his play was in the last act in the scene
between himself, the detective and the
Baron. The detectives exclamation ''su-
perbp expressed the idea exactly. "Jim,
the Penman," is one Of A. NJ. Palmer's most
successful plays, and it will hardly fail TO
attract large audiences here

At the Pulaski house the bulletins were
read and then posted in the wine room. At

local applications can do no permanent
