The Outlook for the Future Consid-
cred Encouraging.
BRUNSWICK. GA, Feb. 23.-The outlook
for shipping is encouraging in Brunswick.
As an evidence OF what this part is doing
the NEWS correspondent learns that the C.
Downing Company, naval stores exporters,
have now three vessels loading. six
at city Quarantine, one at Sapelo
and eleven at sea chartered and bound
for Brunswick. To meet the demand
for cargoes this firm has now
on its large double yards. covering several
acres IN extent, over e, 900 tarrels of rosin
and several thousand barrels of spirits tur-
pentIne, besides more at the still Some
idea OF the amount Of money left here by
these foreign vessels may be gained when 10
is known that each vessel will average an
expenditure Of 81 900 at the lowest estimate
FOR provisions alone. They are all square
r1ggers, and come from distant
ports. their Journeyings covering sometimes
period Of three gnonths. On arrival here
provisions have to be bought, and il the
ropes, ETC., are needed. Then the seamen
are paid their full wages, all of which Is
spent In the city, and altogether IL is esti-
mated that these tweuty-one vessels will
leave not less than s2l. 900 In Brunswick
during the short time they are here. What
IS said OF this hrm is also true Of Others
though on not quite so large scale.
Until the back country is settled by a
farming element Brunswick Is forced to de-
pend almost entirely on her shipping. Along
the lines Of both the Brunswick and West
ern and East Tennessee railroads are hun
dreds OF men engaged in the rosin, turpen-
tine, lumber and crosstie business. Thou.
sands OF crossties arrive weekly, as do also
barrels or naval stores and numbers of cars
of lumber. The crossties are mostly for
coastwise shipment the lumber and naval
stores going to foreign countries Besides
these the cotton receipts and exports have
Increased enormously in the past four years.
Every vessel that loads here leaves a good
sum OF money.
The money received in this way f. what
Brunswick merchants look to for support in
winter with the additional cash scattered
literally about by the northern tourist
travel In winter and the pleasurs seekers
who throng Cumberland and St Simons
Islands in summer. Every traveller is sure
to spend an average of IS in passing through,
and this amounts to q good sum in the ag-
gregate.
In view of these facts the people of
brunswick feel justified in their claims that
this city is In a much better condition from
financial and business point of view than she
has been given credit for since the recent
panic. Failures here are unheard OF, the
only one OF any consequence, andhnvolving
not more than s., 200, having occurred and

HENDRICKS STILL AT LARGE.
scriven's Sheriff Fails in His Attempt
TO Capture Him.

TO Capture Him.
SYLvANIA. GA, Feb. 23.-Sheriff L D..
BROKER returned Saturday night from
Emanuel county, where he went to capture
Thomas Hendricks. one of the most desper-
ate and utterly fearless negroes that
ever carried a Winchester. Mr.. BROKER
did not bring Hendricks back with him, but
he relates a most thrilling story of how this
daredevil escaped from the posss that sur
rounded him when escape seemed impossi-
bic. 1t rivals some Of Jesse James hair
breadth adventures.
Hendricks Is a large, muscular mulatto
weighing about 200 pounds Some time ago
he was tried for the murder Of a negro in
Emanuel county. The evidence was all cir
cumstantial and he was ACQUITTED. Just
after the verdict was rendered, he asked his
lawyer in the court house If he could ever
be tried again for the crime. The lawyer
told him no, and be said well, / did kill
the - rascal. and there's more OF them
I'm going TO kill This shows the charac-
ter Of the man
A month or two ago Hendricks got into
a fracas in Millen and shot the marshal,
Mr.. Meads. He was arrested and incarcer-
ated in the jail here. but soon connected q
plan with two other negroes, who were in
there with him. for escape, which they sue
cesstully carried out one morning about
8 o'clock, when the sheriff went down TO
feed them. Since that time Hendricks has
been at large. but last week he was heard
from In Emanuel county, and Sheriff
BROKER. with a posse Of men from Millsn,
among them the marshal, went over TO take
him. They surrounded the house where he
had taken shelter before daylight last
Thursday morning, and remained there be-
hind trees and other things all during that
day, trying to get him to surrender, and
ever and anon perforating the house
with bullets. Hendricks would return the
fire and warned them not TO come about
him. Gov. Northern was telegraphed by
Sheriff BROKER and asked if he had any OBJ
iectioDs to the house being set on fire. as
the owner had given his consent. The gov
ernor replied that the sheriffs duties were
laid down by the law, and that be could not
add TO or take from them. So, Friday
morning about 2 o'clock, the house was set
on fire with saturated kerosene balls, and
with cooked guns the besieging party
awaited the doomed negro. The desperate,
when it became too hot for him in the house,
shouted: Look out, Pm coming" and
rushed out firing as he went. He hit the
marshal of Millen again, making
flesh wound in the arm,
and ran the gauntlet successfully,
although shots were fired after him. 1t
was in the night and no one could hope to
successfully follow him, nor did any one
wish particularly TO dc so-an encounter
with the outlaw in the woods not being a
very pleasant thing to contemplate. SO
Tom Hendricks is still at large with his
Winchester rlhe-perhaps the bravest, most
powerful and dangerous negro in Georgia.
