What Mr.. BRUSSELS Did.

A woman, once doubling the genuneness of a
Brussels carpet which she desired to buy, was full
ly convinced when an ignorant salesman told her
he knew for fact that the texture was woven by
Mr. Brussels himself. He didn't make Brussels
soap, but those who did, produced the most desir-
able purifier introduced into a house, and the wise
buyer will take no other. It's economical.

The Police Unable to Find Any Trace
of the Young Man.
Up to IL o'clock last night nothing had
been heard of B. D. DeLson. whose strange
disappearance from the Pulaski house q
week ago tonight has baffied the detectives
and police. The fact of his leaving valuable
baggage behind him lends color to the
theory that he has met with an accident or
has been foully dealt with. The night clerk
Of the Pulaski, who saw DsLeon leave
the hotel. thinks he must have
been inveigled to some place and
quietly put out of the way. AS he was
apparently man of steady habits the hotel
people feel satisfied, il something had not
happened to him, that he would have re-
turned to the hotel before now.
There are plenty of places in Savannah
in which man could be put out of the
way, with very little chance of the deed
ever being discovered, and DeLeon's dis.
play Of money may possibly account for
his disappearance

abled steam ship.
A further survey was held on the disabled
British steamship Nedjed yesterday by the
same board which made the first survey,
except that it was accompanied by j. N.
johnson, agent of the underwriters.

struck below the first, or orlop beam, for
ward of the mainmast and after hatch,
abaft the engine room bulkhead, the frac-
ture extending from one frame to another
obiquely upward. The opening was half
an inch in the widest part and fully thirty
inches long Three plates and one frame
were broken and one was bent. The butte
straps were broken and stove in. The
striuged plate was broken and the beam
started and "buckled.n
The board recommended strengthening
pieces TO the stringer bent, and that the
balance of cargo in the after hold be dis
charged and also the coal on deck and
sufficient OF the cargo in the forward hold
to keep the vessel in a safeposition, and that
she lay easy to make all temporary repairs.
