a TRIP TO THE FISHING BANKS
The Lighterege Company Compli-
ments It's Railroad Friends.

The LiGhterege Company Compli-
ments It's Railroad Friends.
The clerks Of the Central and the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western Railway compa-
MES terminals and the compress and wharf
clerks and number OF invited guests en-
joyed an excursion to the Blacklist banks
yesterday on the tug Regis, Capt Ed Paine.
The trip was by invitation of Capt. Elton
A. Smith In behalf OF the Savannah Light
erage and Transfer Company, Of which he
is president. 1t was rendered by the COM
pany in recognition Of the efforts of their
guests, who have assisted the transfer COM
pany, during the busy season in the
work Of satisfying the business community
and facilitating traffic on the river
Such generosity Is not lest upon those who
had the pleasure OF being on the Regis.
The day was beautiful one. The gentle
men OF the lighterage company were as
slduous In their attentions to their guests,
and to make the trip more delightful there
was liberal supply Of liquids and solids,
which were generously dispensed. The fish +,
however, were less generous, and refused to
bite early and often. The catch was small,
although there were enough caught to con-
vince the average land lubber that black
fish have not entirely disappeared, as some
have been led to believe at certain times of
the year.
A feature Of the excursion was purse
made up by the fishermen contributing q
small amount and the total, some 50 so, went
to the man who captured the first scale fish.
Shortly after arriving on the banks a foot
from the tugs whistle caused every sinker
to splash into the briny Deep and few
minutes later an old Providence whiting
was hauled in, and the prize
money went to Warren Snow.
After that most of the amateurs
lost interest in fishing. especially as the bites
seemed to be few and far between. Be-
sides Blacklist, few founders were taken.
The return trip was made in excellent
time and the fishermen enjoyed an excellent
Blacklist supper on the boat before she
reached her dock. Everybody was highly
pleased with the trip and profuse in thanks
to President smith

A BIG DAY IN BEAUFORT.

One Thousand Colored Excursionists
Go, and Many More Don't Go.
To-day will be big day in Beaufort. AS
is usual on Memorial day the exercises in
the National cemetery attract crowds of
colored people from the adjoining counties
in South Carolina and from Savannah.
The steamers Alpha and Belle~
vue were chartered by the
colored Grand Army post aad
left at midnight last night with nearly 1000
excursionsits. Three times that number
were on the wharves. They began going to
the wharves soon after dark and some went
before dark, laden with baskets and pack
ages of every description. The limit of pas
sengers allowed to be carried
was 400 on the Alpha and $50
on the Bellevue. Before 9 o'clock both
steamers had the full number they are
allowed, and the gang planks were hauled
in. More than a thousand disappointed ex-
cursionists were turned back. The COM
mittee endeavored to secure another steamer
but was unable to do so.
The excursionists kept coming until after
II o'clock bringing baskets and bags and
bundles, but no more could be carried and
they went back to their homes disappointed,
but with more money in their pockets than
they would have had had they gone. The
crowd did not leave the wharveS until the
steamers left.
Guerard g. Deans Ministries. which

rive in Beaufort early this morning and
will spend the day there, returning to-
morrow morning.

TO BE SENTENCED TO-DAY.
Two of the Murderers OF August W.
Meyer.


Meyer.
Judge Falligant will pass sentence Of
death this morning upon Gus Williams and
Jim Gay, ths two murderers Of August
Meyer, convicted at the March term of the
court. The sentence will probably be ex-
tended TO await the trial of the three ac-
complies Of Gay and Williams now in
jail. Their cases will be taken up June s.
Judge Falligant and Solicitor General
Fraser have just returned from Darien,
where Mcintosh court was held last week.
Both the civil and criminal dockets were very
full, requiring a weeks steady work TO get
through with them.
OF the nine criminals presented Solicitor
General Fraser secured the conviction Of
seven. the other two being acquitted. The
acquittals were the most important cases.
the prisoners being charged with arson IN
the attempt to destroy the town
of DarIen. A year ago there was no evil
dencs upon which to convict either party.
Rentz Young, the first OF the two tried,
proved an alibi by reputable witnesses.
Harrison Williams was the second one
charged with the offense. He was arrested
in Savannah In April upon the instance
of Robert Gibbes, another ne
gro. Williams has a pretty bad repu-
tation, and has served several terms
upon this chain-gaug for various offenses.
Gibbes, his accuser. has a reputation fully as
bad. The evidence showed that Gibbes was
endeavoring 70 swear Williams wife away
for the $500 reward offered for the arrest
and conviction of the incendiary.
He was not successful, however.
The incendiary fires which came near
destroying Darien last June caused reign
of terror in that town for over two weeks.
There were six separate attempts during
that time, three of which were disastrously
successful. The Mcintosh county academy,
the steamboat warehouse and several
stores and dwellings were burned.
The convictions at Darien were as fol-
lows: Sam Melton, Jr., COW stealing. two
cases, five years; StepDey Wing, burglary.
three years; James Sandiford, hog stealing,
two years; Tinny Maxwell, stabbing,
the house, six months; Nathan Cook, sim
pie larceny, six months; Handy West, con-
cealed weapons, three months.

George K. Barrett, the Chicago Wheel
man, had a strange experience In the recent
wreck of the Diamond special on the illinois
Central forty miles east of Vandalia. In
telling the story of the wreck he says: 81
slipped a quarter into the baggageman's
hand when l boarded the train. and in re.
turn he swung my wheel by q rope and
pulley to The top OF the car. When the
wreck happened and our train, rushing at
the rate of fifty-fve miles an hour down
grade, smashed into wild engine l was
thrown out Of my seat to the aisle. On
getting up saw two things in an instant.
One was the cylinder driving wheelD of our
engine blowing up the mud OF a field 300
feet away. and the other was our engineer
climbing out OF ditch where he had been
thrown when he jumped, and, stunned and
covered with mud as be was, using all his
efforts to get somebody to flag the accom-
mediation train, which was following close
behind. Now, will explain why l spoke
OF my wheel and the baggsgeman. The
wreck had thrown the baggage car on end,
wrecked it, killed the man who got the quar-
ter and his companion, and smashed every
piece of baggage in the car. But my wheel,
strapped to the roof Of the car, escaped
without so much as a scratch.

An agent Of sliding railway has come to
Chicago from France to build mile sec
tion OF road for exhibition purposes. The
train is driven over fat steel rails, the cars
resting upon cast.iron boxes, technically
called skates. Between the skates and the
plates thin film of water flows, prevent
ing friction as the train glides along upon
the plate. A high rate Of speed is attain
able, as much as 125 miles being claimed as
possible for long distances. A section of
road 500 feet long was successfully tested at
the late Paris exposition. 1t is said that the
movement is very easy, and the power re-
CURED much less than for rolling stock.

James z. Briggs presented a resolu-
ton adopted by the general conference
demanding that the editors of the official
papers discontinue making them an
agency for the PRONUNCIATION of their
partisan prejudices. Referred.
The Omaha Christian Advocate offers
to donate his plant and subscribers to

paper. 1t will probably be accepted.

Passenger Rate War.

ST. PAUL, May 20.-Another rate war
is looming up between the 500 and the
lines embraced within the Western Pas
senger association, and the probabilities
are that tourist rates to points in Eastern
Canada and the northern portion of
Maine will be as low this summer as
they were last. The 500 claims right
to make a rate So less than via Chicago
lines and has announced such rate.
The Western association lines have re-
ceived permission to meet it and have
also made like rate. The 500 win
likely make another cut of 80.
