DROWNED FROM TIE BELLEVUE.

A Colored 3xcdrsionist Goes Over
20 ZsA Il board and Is Lost.
The steamer Bellevue took out a coIored
excursion Sunday morning to Beaufort On
the return of the boat Sunday night about
II o'clock an unknown negro fell overheard
and was lost.
The boat had arrived abreast of Fort
Oglethorpe when the accident occurred.
The negro was on toe lower deck Just aft of
the wheel house, and was presumably
asleep or drunk. While sitting on the rail
he fell overheard. He did not appear
above water, as far as any one aboard of the
steamer could see
The steamer was hauled up and a search
was made for about three-Quarters of an
hour, but no trace of the negro was found.
lt is not known who be was, but he is believed
to have been Jealous Baden, who had been
a porter at Ybanez's saloon on Bay street.
and who is missing. He had not arrived at
his mothers house on East Boundary
street, or at the saloon yesterday, and as he
was known to have gone on the excursion
there seems hardly a doubt that he was
drowned.

GRAIN RATES REDUCED.
TBE COAST CITIES GET A HEAVY
REDUCTION

Savannah Greatly Favored-A Cut Of
q to 5 Cents Per Hundred on West
ern Grain in Carload Lots in Sew
eral Southern Points Brought on by
Competition With Water Freights.
Considerable discussion is going on over
the south generally concerning the recent
reduction in western freight rates to south
ern points. Most of the cities are rejoicing
over this unexpected favor from the rail-
roads, while a few that have not been fav-
ored are making great complaint. Augusta
and Chattanooga are the mourners In this
direction.
The amount of reductions has been ex-
aggerated, however. 1t has been announced
tina. reductions of from TO cents per
hundred had been made to number of
southern points on classes B, c, D and F.
which is incorrect. The reduction has only
been made on class D. The fact is the South
ern Railroad and Steamship Association
proposes reduction in all the classes named
substantially as has been published, but the
Southwestern Railway Association and the
Mississippi Valley Association would only
agree to the reduction on class d. This
class includes grain and hay in carload lots
and the reduction was meant to apply espe~
cially to grain. Savannah gets bigger re-
duction than any of her competitors with
the exception Of the coast cities, the reduc-
ton amounting to cents per hundred.
The following is a comparison OF the old
and new rates on class d.:
