THE SAVANNAH AND WESTERN.
How Judge Pardee's Decision is Re-
garded by Those Interested.

The decision of Judge Pardee in ap-
pointing Mr. r. J. Lowry co-receiver of
the Savannah and Western with Mr.
Conner, the more it is considered by the
attorneys and others interested, the more
it is considered favorable to the cause of
the Central
Mr. Lowry is a man of unusualfinancial
ability and, from a business standpoint, is
regarded as an altogether capable man.
He is president OF the Lowry Banking
Company of Atlanta, and is, perhaps one
of the abiest tinanciers in the state.
The fact that Mr.. Lowry is not looked
upon as being in any way favorable to the
Richmond Terminal is regarded as an adj
ditiOnal point favorable TO the Central
interest. His appointment is regarded
more as concession to the Savannah and
Western bondholders who are represented
by The Central Trust Company Of New
York
Among the attorneys and others who
are strongly opposing MIR. Comer's re-
ownership in the courts, Col. w. w. Cor
don is being talked of as the successor to
Nh. Conner as receiver of the Central sys-
tenn in case Judge jackson should see fit
to order Mr.. Comer's removal Mr..
Corners removal is in no wise anticipated,
but in the event the case should take such
turn Col. Gordon would make a good
man Tor the position. u is said that Col.
Gordon has been asked to allow the use
OF his name in this connection before
Judge Jackson, and rumor has it that he

SUICIDED AT SEA.
a Fireman on the Carl Konow Jumps
Overheard and is Lost.


The Norwegian steamship Carl Konow,
while on her way to. Bluefelds from Sa-
vannah, lost one of her crew, a fireman,
who jumped overheard, evidently with
suicidal intent and succeeded.
The Carl Konow left here on the even
ing of April q. About ten minutes be-
fore leaving the wharf James Rose a
young German, went aboard and asked
Capt. Petersen for employment. The
ship being short of a fireman and Rose
stating that he could fill the
place he was engaged. He did very well
for the two days that he remained aboard
the ship. He was well dressed, and APP
peared TO be above the average steamboat
fireman both in his demeanor and address.
He went on his watch Saturday night,
April %, in cheerful spirits apparently,
and worked with a good deal of viSor.
After quitting work between l and 2
O'Clock Sunday morning, he came up on
deck and sat on the rail to rest himself
and to talk with the men on deck. Nearly
all the men had turned in shortly
after, and Rose was left by himself,
except the man on the lookout,
who was looking at Rose. The fireman
had been there One-half to three7quarters
Of an hour when the lookout saw him get
up and deliberately throw himself over
the rail into the sea. The lookout sung
out man overheard, and the steamer was
hove to and boat lowered. A search was
made for the man for half an hour or 50,
but no trace of him could be found. The
vessel then put about and continued on
her course.
1t is believed Rose took passage on the
steamer for the purpose of suiciding. He
was only 20 years of age, good looking and
a native of Berlin.

The Wanderer was an apt name for the
tug which started out with the judges.
She moved through the water smoothly
enough until Herb river was reached,
when she refused to answer her Steering
apparatus and began to wander out of the
channel toward Brickyard Island. Every
turn given the wheel only caused the tug
to make circle in the water, and finally,
for fear Of danger to its occupants and
the other craft following the races, she
was brought to a standstill for investiga-
ton. No sooner had the steering gear
been put in shape than the rud-
der unshipped and then the
Wanderer was useless. Commo-
dore Lathrop's naphtha launch came
in sight about this time and was signaled.
He hove alongside and the judges and
MORNING News representative who was
along was rescued. The Wanderer was
afterward towed to the city.
RUN OF THE LAUNCHES.
The naphtha launch race did not take
place until the yacht races were over.
The course was from the club house to
Backyard Island stake boat and back
three times, a distance of nine miles. At
) O'Clock pistol shot was fired as signal
and few minutes later the handsome
little boats started on their race. 1t was
the event of the day and the race was
anxiously watched from beginning to end
by the crowds along the bluff. Seven
launches took part in the race, two in
first class and five in the second.
| They made pretty sight
spinning up and down the course and tho
cvenness Of the race at the start made it
quite exciting. Mr.. George j. Baldwins
launch Dixie crossed the line first, with
Mr.. j. A. c. Carsons Carrie close behind.
These boats kept well together until the
first turn was reached, when the Dixie
forged ahead ana easily won the race.
The Carrie did not behave as well as Mr.
Carson expected. During the morning.
when he was following in the wake of the
yachts the easily worked up pressure of
! 100 pounds, but in the race she vacillated
| between so and co. despite all efforts to
bring 1t up to 100.
In the second class Mr.. Lewis T.
! Turner's Qui Vivc won easily, distancing
! her competitors without any apparent ex-
| ertiOn. Commodore Lathrop's Flash
came in a good second.
THE FASTEST OF ALL.
The Qui Vive in fact beat all the
! launches in the race, when her horse
power and size is taken into consideration.
! She outstripped the Carrie of the first
! class and came in to the club house in
little less than two minutes behind the
Dixie. On the basis of time allowance
for horse power and size if the Qui Vive

have had to allow her about thirteen
minutes, and this, as cannbe easily seen,
would have given her the race with lots
of margin. This state of facts may re-
suit in race between the two yachts at
an early day.

Being Conscripted.
The Norwegian steamship Carl Konow
arrived yesterday from Bluefields. She
brings news of the insurrection in Mica
ragua, from which it seems that the
rebels have carried everything before
them, and are in almost undisputed pos
session of the republic. The sympathies
Of the people are with the insurgent army
and they hail its advance through the
country with welcomes.
When the Carl Konow arrived at Rama,
small town about sixty miles above
Bluefelds, on the Escondita river, the in
surgent army had just entered the town.
The steamer, on her way up the river,
met the governor and his secretary in a
canoe going to Bluefelds, where he took
a steamer for Greytown.
THE GOVERNOR SURPRISED
The governor, it appears, was surprised
at the arrival of the insurgents. On their
order for him to vacate he very willingly
did so, and escaped to Bluefields.
The Carl Konow arrived at Rama Just
in time to witness its capitulation. The
town was Immediately put under martial
law by the insurgent general, and no one
was allowed ashore from the steamer
without passport, and no one was al
lowed aboard from shore. The steamer
only remained half an hour Going up the
river, and half hour returning. The in
surgents' guards were patrolling the river
side of the town.
