THE MAUD DAMAGED BY FIRE.
The Vessel Partly Burned While
MOored at Her Wharf

me Vessel rarity burned Whle
Moored at Her Wharf.
The tug Maud was damaged by fire
while moored at Paulsen's wharf yesterday
morning.
The fire broke out few minutes after 5
o'clock. It was discovered by Charles
Jenkins, a deck hand, who was sleeping in
the pilot house. Jenkins was
awakened by the smoke, and he
rushed out on deck. The afterhouse was
then i'll blaze. The tug Jacob Poulsen
was coming down the river from the Ocean
steamship slip and steamed alongside the
Maud and soon had a stream ON the fire. 1t
was we'll under control when the fire de-
partment arrived, and with the united
efforts of the tugs crew and fremen it was
soon extinguished.
The origin of the fire is unaccountable.
The vessel was tied up at the dock at
o'clock Friday night and no lamps we're lit
on board, on account of her getting into the
dock early.
The whole of the after bouse and pilot
house is burned and charred. The fire could
not have started from the galley, as there
ore no signs Of fire there, and it was not
damaged. 1t evidently started from the
smOkestsck. The hull of the vessel is all
right. and only the tophamper ana part of
the machinery are damaged. The loss will
approximate $1,000, and is covered bV in
surance in the Liverpool, London and Globe

THE FIRST OF TIE SEASON.

The Theater to Open With.."McCarthy's
Afishaps" Tuesday Night.
The theatrical seasun will open Tuesday
night with "McCsrthy's Misha9s." the same
attraction which opened last season, and
which was one Of she best farcical plays of
the season. The sale Of seats will begin to-
morrow morning.
The manner in which the play was re-
ceived last year will, without doubt, insure
big audience this year. OF the skit it
may be said that as a mirth -provoker it
meets all the requirements. From begin
ming to end it is one continuous round of
merriment, having very little plot; still
what is lacking in plot is made up by the
fun in the dialogue, amusing incidents and
laughable complications, with the special
ties, which are inter woven with the farcical
situations. A number of novel features
have been added, while those that have
proved so entertaining heretofore are re-
tanned. Prominent in the cast are: Barney
Ferguson, Charles German, George A.
Crump, Ed Begley, Daniel Heating, James
Callahan. G.. ). Gates, Marguerite Fergu-
son, Gertrude Forte, Carrie Behr, Annie
Irish, and the Sisters DeWitt.

A STRANGE DROWNING.
The Lake at Ponce de Leon the Scene
of Another Accident

The Lake at Ponce de Leon the Scene
of Another Accident
ATLANTA, GA, Sept, 1.-Two people met
death on the lake at Ponce de Leon about
$3.50 or o'clock Tonight One was JEFF D.
Stuart. the engineer at Jacks bakery, and
formerly a member of the Atlanta
police force. The other was Mrs.
Jane Kennedy. a boarding house
keeper. The best account TO be
had tonight is incomplete and rather mys-
FERROUS. The two went out with younger
couple. The trio was taken at Stuart's in
vitation. He induced the other man, Henry
Gregoleit, to go by offering TO pay all the
expenses. He had been contemplating the
trip all day and made some arrangements
this morning for it.
THEY START ON THE TRIP.
The two couples reached the lake Just
after o'clock and went out in two boats.
Stuart was drinking The night was
unusually dark and nothing could be seen
upon the water five feet away The boats
soon parted company. Ten minutes, or
even less, after they went out they were
thirty or forty yards apart Stuart was
heard talking, and Gregoleit thinks be was
rocking the boat 70 brighten
the woman. Mrs Remedy was
laughing and expostulating with Stuart.
After a minute or two Of comparative
quiet the woman screamed, "Henryl Henry
Gregoleit! Come, save me-" She was even
then strangling. There appears to have
been no extraordinary outcry just at the
moment she fell in the water, and this, in
conjunction with other circumstances, makes
THE CASE SUSPICIOUS ONE.
It will be noted that she did not call her
escort, but her appeal for help was to a
young boy in the other host. Just after
the screaming young Gregoleit reached the
boat, which was. bottom upward. Nothing
was sesn of Stuart or Mrs Kennedy. except
that Stuart's straw hat was floating upon
the water only a few feet from the
boat. Gregoleit padded to the shore,
and after giving the alarm
at the lake he came on to town with the
young lady he had escorted out. Several
boats were put out with drags and, two or
three people Owed. The water was deathIy
cold and the divers soon had to leave it.
Stuart was a married man with a family.
Mrs. Kennedy, it is understood, was a
grass widow. She has two children living.
Stuart at one time had boarded with her.
Up to midnight neither of the bodies had
been recovered. ~ .r,,f

The meeting to which you refer is intended
for liquor dealers and members Of their

be no violation of them, intentional or
otherwise, and to acQualnt them with the
nature OF the recent legislation.
also desire to say to you that we take no

living up to the promise made by him in his
inaugural address, and as long as have IL

The Western and Atlantic Summary
Dismisses Three Veteran Employees.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 5.-There is apt to
be some trouble in railroad, circles about
the summary discharge OF three veteran
passenger conductors on the Western and
Atlantic railroad. The three men are Ish
Dunn. TAYLOR Terrell and Alt Worley. The
two first were bounced unceremouiously
and completely. Worler3u who has been
running a passenger tratn tor number Of
years, was given his choice, it is understood,
between going back to the freight cars and
leaving altogether. 'els'g@
CAUSE OF the DISCHARGE. VI
The superintendent IS cut Of town and IN
his absence the only explanation from heads
quarters is that the men we're "Dereliet in
their duty" The men themselves eau give
no explanation. They were three Of the
oldest and most popular mon on the road
and people generally are interested in THAR
case. Jm UTc jEd
The grievance committee of the Order of
Railway Conductors viii look into the mat
ter, and trouble is almost certain to follow,
Conductor r. Dick Eargis Is another
Western and Atlantic victim. His discharge
was as peremptory and unexpected as the
other three. -...
1t is stated here tonight that Conductor
Mays, who has been running the Rome ex-
press for quite awhile past, has also been
discharged, But the other four are certain.
PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE DISCHARGE.
The probable truth of the situation is that
the new lessees intended running through
from Nashville to Atlanta, so that only ore
conductor will be needed on some Of the
trains between these points. whereas, here
tofore, one has run from Nashville to Chat
tanooga and another from Chattanooga TO
Atlanta. This leaves the road with several
conductors to be dispensed with, and the
preference is naturally given the Conductors
at the other end, being the longest in tho
employe of the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis railroad.
THE CONDUCTORS TRANSFERRED.
Soon after the lease the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis conductors were put on
the Western and Atlantic road, the West
ern and Atlantic conductors being trans
ferred to the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis road. It was explained that this
was to familiarizs the men with all parts of
the road. The information acquirediiu this
way comes in handily now for the Nash
vile, Chattanooga ana st. Louis people,
who will probably be- called on TO run
through from Nashvilleto Atlanta. But it
does the old Western and Atlantic con-
ductors no good. 10 b. .1f
