ais LICENcE SUSPENDED.
Marine Engineer Nelms Punished
for Neglect of Duty.

Marine Engineer Nelms Punished
for Neglect of Duty.
An appeal by Robert P. helms, engi-
neer OF the steamer David Kemps
OF jacksonville. from the decis-
ion of the local inspectors Of
steam vessels OF the Savannah district was
heard by Supervising Inspector J. w. CAST
OF Norfolk at the inspectors Office in this
city yesterday.
helms was suspended from duty for
sixty days by the local inspectors on March
80, for leaving the boilers of the steamer
with high pressure of steam on, with
no one In charge, and going ashore. The
steamer was lying at her dock at Jackson
vile with the crew and number of other
people aboard.
The culpable negligence Of the en-
ginoer endangered the lives OF every
one on board through explosion of
the Boilers, which might have oc-
CURED had not the inspector OF hulls
providentially gone aboard to make an in
sPection and discovered the condition of
affairs. Nelms' license was at once sus-
pended. His statement TO the Inspectors
ofhce was general denial His
father, who was before the super
vising inspector yesterday, also denied
the condition of affairs reported by the local
inspector. The charges, however, were
fully sustained; but in view Of the fact that
the offense was the first with which the
engineer has been charged, his sentence was
reduced 10 thirty days.
The purpose OF the inspectors is to enforce
more thorough compliance with the navi.
CATION laws than has been the case hereto.
FORE, and hagrant violations in cases like
that OF helms, where life and property are
endangered, will be summary punished.

DAMAGE BY THE FREEZE.
The Truck and Fruit Crops Badly
Hurt.

The Truck and Fruit Crops Badly
Hurt.
The temperature fell to 44e early yester-
day morning. As the night was clear and
the wind had died away the truck farmers
were greeted with a white frost yesterday
morning Most of them had taken the
warning of the weather bureau and pro-
tected such OF their stuff as they could.
There was great deal Of truck that could
not be protected, however. and beans,
cucumbers, squashes, watermelons and can
taleup were about all cut off, while pease
were damaged considerably. Even potatoes
were 'scorched" in damp spots, but the
damage to this crop is not thought to be
serious.
The young watermelons and cantaleup
that were not covered were said yesterday
to have been killed to the last plant
The probabilities are that almost the whole
of the Georgia watermelon crop that was
above the ground was killed. The weather
reports show that the temperature was gem
orally lower through Middle and South west
Georgia ana even in Florida then at Savan-
nah, the temperature being down to 800 at
Millen and COrdele, 80 at Fort Gaines and
Quitman, 800 at Americas and Townsville,
and $50 at Eastman. 1t is feared that the
fruit crop, which gave evidence of being a
very bountiful one, is also killed.
