What the Ship Captains Say About the
Spark Arrester Law.
A MORNING News reporter made round
yesterday among the steamships in port
loading cotton or awaiting their opportu-
nifty to load, and variety Of opinions on
the ordinance passed by the city council at
its last meeting, requiring spark arresters
70 be placed on the smokestacks Of all
engines used for hosting purposes. was
picked up. The general opinion expressed
was that the ordinance is a wise and proper
one and should be heartily complied with
One plain-spoken English captain
brusquely remarkes, ''you ought to
lnforce ordinance against the bloody
Spaniard. " is running Ugh pressure
engines, and the ordinance ought to force
the tug boats TO put spark arresters on their
smokestacks as every mothers son of them
ale high pressure engine, and its puff and
blow and sparks coming out all the time
Just as 1t does from the funnel of the bloody
Spaniardn
There is but one Spanish vessel in port,
and all the masters Of the British vessels,
when spark arresters were mentioned, re-
ferred to the "bloody Spaniardn as the
Jonah OF the steamship feet.
One English captain said that the parlor
match Is more dangerous than the donkey
engine. and he added that the parlor match
ought not to be sold in any cotton receiv-
ing port They are not permitted,
he said, in London or Liverpool, nor
do British vessels permit them on
shipboerd. Most of the British vessels use
what is known as the iceberg" match,
which is a safety match, and when the blaze
is extinguished the match instantaneously
turns black and there is no fire about it.

them by the gross they come cheaper.
There is absolutely no danger of fire by
friction with this match as it can be
lighted only on the box"
Fifty cents Of wire gauze will cover a
funnel, and there will be no trouble in con-
forming with the ordinance" said another
captain. There is little danger in British
steamships" he added, ''as our engines are
low-pressure engines, and as you can see
sparks are not emitted from the tunnels,
but we are perfectly willing to put on spark
arresters Still there is more danger in the
tug boats, and common prudence should
have included them in the provisions of the
Ordinancen

How Rider Haggard's "She- Looks and
Acts on the Stage.
The dramatization of Rider Haugard's
She" was given its initial performance in

who has decided emotional talent. and is
pretty enough TO satisfy the somewhat try
ing demands of the part. Her acting
throughout was good, and at some points
her delineation of the passionate queen was
strong. "Ustane," the faithful heather
maiden, divided the honors with 'sShe. y
Ihls character was well sustained by Miss
Helen Corlette.
George z. Webster, as Horace Holly, ~
acted the part in a finished manner, max
Ing use OF every opportunity, and develop
ing every point Of vantage which was in the
character. He is clever. discreet, and ex-
cellent in his methods, and withal a
thoroughly good actor
Inc African sea coast, with the "Negro's
Head, was an excellent spectacular illusion,
and was warmly applauded. The weird
dance or the savages in the cavern was an
effective scene, and it was not the only one.
The entire performance is scenic, and the
spectacles, some of them, are startling. As
an adaptation of the much-read novel, and
as spectacular performance, the company
gives an excellent entertainment. A NATL
pee will be given this afternoon, and the
play Will be repeated tonight

Her Husband.


Hagar Anderson (colored), was discharged
by Justice Waring Russell yesterday after
preliminary examination, on the charge
Of the murder of her husband on the Ogee'
chez road Sept. g. The court in discharg.
ing the prisoner held that there was nc
evidence to show that she is guilty, and nc
evidence going to show that she had, as
alleged, administered any liquor with or
withouta poisonous powder to her husband.
From the opinion of DIR. Miller the deceased
came TO his death from natural causes.
The trial brought fully 100 persons in from
the Ogeechee. nearly all of whom were
colored, aid quite a number Of witnesses
were examined; Solicitor General Fraser
appearing for the state, and I. ID. Rockwell,
ESQ.,, for the defense.
The woman had perfect ovation after
the conclusion of the trial, and she wept
tears Of JOY. the colored people hocked
around her and gave her hearty h8nd-
shaking, and one old woman embraced her
IN the most emotional way
The only evidence Lending color
to the charge of murder was the unsup-
ported evidence Of John Morrow (colored)
who testified that two weeks before Ander-
sons death the deceased had told him that
Hagar had given him gin with a powder
in it. One witness testified that Anderson
said on Aug. n, he wanted an inquest held
on his body when he died, as his wife had
said that she was going out to work, and if

husband. The DEATH however, occurred
on Sept. 3, a week later
DIR. r. G.. Miller testified that, after view
ing the body, he had informed Justice
McCloud King that post norton exami-
nation was unnecessary, as the appearance
Of the corpse showed that the man had died
of natural causes, and the body showed no
indications of poison.
Two witnesses testified that they had
known Anderson to be afflicted for a long
time with disease Of the bladder, and Lizzie
Holmes, an old colored root and herb doc
tor, testified to having prescribed water
melon seeds for him.
One witness swore that Anderson, three
or four weeks before his death, visited Mr.
Burnell's store and wanted box of pills,
but MIR. Burnell refused to sell him more
than dose, saying if he would take box,
the dose would kill him, whereupon Ander-
son replied at he didn't care, as he was
tired of life any way.
Hagar Anderson is young woman, not
over 20 years old, and has two children,
whom her friends cared for while she was in
Jail, she having been imprisoned since Sept.
8. 1t is said that Anderson, who was a man
past 40, was morbidly Jealous of his young
