THE BEAUFORT EXCURSIONS.
The Alpha and Gov. Stafford Carried
Big Crowds.


The two colored excursions to Beaufort
Monday night on the steamers Alpha and
Gov. Stafford returned at midnight last
night. The excursionists had big time
in Beaufort yesterday.
Two juvenile zouave companies went
over on the Alpha from here. Every
thing went off pleasantly aboard the two
steamers. Both parties of excursionists
were as well behaved as any colored ex-
cursion ever taken from Savannah.
There was some rivalry between the
eXcursionists as well as the two steamers
as to which would arrive at
Beaufort first. The Alpha, how
ever, beat her competitor
both going and returning she was in COM
mand of Capt. Edward F. Daniels. The
trip was mis- first in several years His
absence from the river has not affected
his old time skill in handling steam
boat, and it came as natural to him as if
he had been but a few weeks from the
pilot house. Capt. Daniels return to the
river is hailed with pleasure by many who
know him as a steamboat man. He en-
ioyed the reputation of being able to get
more out of the steamboats, of the Georgia
and Inland Steamboat Company than
many who commanded them.

THE ROAD NOT TO BLAME.

The Coroner's Jury Exhonerates En-
gineer Wagner for the Accident at
Milner.
Word was received here yesterday by
the Central's officials that the coroner's
jury in the case of the aged couple killed
by the Nancy Hanks train at Miner sun
day last had brought a verdict of death
by being struck by a train on the Central
railroad.
As will be seen, this attaches blame to
no one, and it is said that the friends and
relatives of the dead couple no longer
hold the Central responsible in face of all
the circumstances, as it was impossible to
have avoided the accident The accident
was a very sad one, the old couple of devout
Christians having been general favorites
around the little town for years. They
were buried yesterday in graves side by
side

PROSPECTS GROW BRIGHTER.
The Naval Stores Market Continues
to Advance.

The receipts of turpentine and rosin
during the last few weeks Indicate
strongly that the first estimates of the
crop win be borne out
Dealers have at last realized this, and
now have begun to think better of it.
Many of them have begun to lay in a
supply, and the consequence is that the
prices which prevailed u week ago are no
longer low enough to be com
planned of. Turpentine now brings
274 cents, having jumped from
II to IL cents in the last week,
and the market is steady at that, with in
dicatiOns of a stiIa further rise. Fine
resins have advanced % cents on the bar
rel during the same length Of time, while
the other grades are holding their own
The indications for a prosperous season
are steadily growing brighter. Under
these circumstances the producers will
hardly want to shut down their stills.

IN COLLISION WITH A CAR.
Colored Boys Narrow Escape From
Death on the Electric Railway.


Death on the Electric Railway.
William Henry Bowen, a colored boy
about ID years of age, had Il narrow escape
from death yesterday about 80 O'Clock,
as a result of his enthusiasm over the
national game.
Bowen and several other boys, white
and cOlored, were playing ball On Duffy
street near Abercorn, and for
some unaCCOuntable reason the boys To-
Gated first base in the center of the Elec-
trio railway track. About the time car
No. %, in charge of Motorman Hodges,
reached Abercorn street, gong west,
Bowen battcd safe hit and started
for first. The boy covering it
had retired for safety on the approach of
the car, but little thing like a street car
was not going to stop Bowen from distin-
gushing himself as a base runner, and he
headed to the track despite warning to
stop
Motorman Hodges saw the danger and
reversed his car, but its forward move
ment could not be checked within twenty
feet, and the car and Bowen got to first
base together. His head came in contact
with the platform, and he was hurled ten
feet down the track, his head striking
again on one of the rails.
Everybody who saw the accident sup
posed the boy had been instantly killed.
Several men picked up the supposed
corpse. camphor was applied to his nose
and whisky to his stomach and in few
minutes Bowen opened his eyes. His in
iuries consisted of a bruised skull and a
cut forehead, which were dressed at the
Southside pharmacy, after which the boy
was taken to his home in Hall street lane,
near Montgomery street, and given med
zeal attention. He will not die, but will
hardly run bases on an electric railway
track again for some time.
The presence of mind of Motorman
Hodges is the only thing which saved
Bowen's life. If he had not reversed the
car so promptly the boy would have been
run over and crushed tO dpath

warmer to-day.
The crops around Savannah have not
suffered any from the cool spell however.

The Cattle Supply.

IL. \. Heath. q cattle expert OF Kan
sas. has called the attention OF the de
partment of agriculture to some of the
considerations which make it probable
that in 1894 or the year after there will
be partial cattle famine. iie does
this that the facts may have the fullest
dissemination and the shipping of
breeding COWS and calves stopped. In
Mr.. lleath's opinion the most profit
able use to which breeding COWS may
he put this year is breeding.
I he estimated number of cattle in
the country. other than milch COWS, is
37,6tjl.a39. Of this number l-i.5TO,63S
are or the ranges of Texas, Colorado.

mainder. 9.o94,i4a. is divided among the
eastern. southern and Pacific states,
and is so far removed from the markets
which control the cattle trade as to be
OF little or no Importance as Il source of
supply, even il the number Was large
enough to be important; but when the
population of these states is considered,
/ it is plain that they cannot, under pres
ent conditions. have much of a surplus
The 26,G56,594 cattle in the range and
feeding states is the real source of sup.
ply. The character of these cattle thus
becomes important. Mr.. Heath makes
