Mr.. John Trecartero. agent of tho Bos-
ton Marine Insurance Company, made an
inspection of the wrecked schooner Leila
Smith at Tybee yesterday. He decided
to lighter her load and tow her up to the
city.
A board Of survey will go down to Ty-
bee tomorrow to hold a survey on the
Norwegian bark Harold, which is a
wreck on the south end of Tybee. The
board will probably condemn the vessel
and order her sold, as she is said to be a
total wreck. Her cargo, which is of
kainit, is also said to be a total loss The
bark and cargo were fully insured.
A survey will be held on the Norwegian
steamship Banaan, at quarantine, tomor-
row, TO decide whether it is necessary for
the vessel TO return to New York foESre-
pairs, or whether she is in condition TO
continue to her destination, Cienfugos,
Cuba.

NO FEVER AT PORT TAMPA.
That is What DR.. Porter Wires tn,
Health Board

That is What DR.. Porter Wires the
Health Board.
Health Officer Drummer received a
telegram yesterday from DIR. Porter,
state health officer of Florida, stating
that the recently reported case of yellow
fever at Port Tampa had been wrongly
diagnosed and that the case was not vel
low fever at all. DR.. Porter stated that
he had recommended all restrictions on
intercourse with Port Tampa removed.
On receiving DR.. Porter's telegram DR..
Drummer telegraphed Sergeon General
Wyman, asking for information as to the
case at Port Tampa. A reply was re-
ceived stating that DIR. Murray, the
marine hospital surgeon who is investi-
eating the case, had not yet made his re-
port. DR.. Drummer said that Savannah
would continue her quarantine against
Tampa and vicinity until DR. Murray's
report is made. If the report comedies
with DR.. Porter's the quarantine against
Tampa and Port Tampa will probably be
removed.
No reports have been received from
Brunswick in the last day or two. 1t is
hoped there will be no further cases of
yellow fever there, but the contrary is
feared
No information has been received by
the health officer of the reported case of
cholera at Jersey City. A development
of the disease there would cause serious
complications, as quarantine could not
well be enforced against Jersey City
without being enforced against New York
and Brooklyn as we'll. Persons coming
from there might be required to bring
health certificates certifying that they
had not been III the infected locality.

ANOTHER STORM.
The Conditions Very Much Better
Than the Recent Visitor.


The excitement about cyclones is not a
circumstance with the real, practical
demonstrations of the dutiful housewife
who rises in the early morn and begins at
once to think of the preparations to be
made for dinner. In days past this was q
bore and great trouble, bnt since the
very convenient arrangements made by
the enterprising butcher Fl. Logan, the
lady of the house" has picnic" so to
speak Logan has been away to the far
west making arrangements for sufficient
supply of all the good things that are pro-
duced. He is back now and is getting his
customers all fixed for the season. Regu-
lar buyers get the benefit of choice cuts
and lowest prices. Logan takes care of
his regular patrons They are aware of
that fact. Logan has arranged to supply
his customers with game of all kinds dur
ing the coming season. He will receive
wild ducks, woodcock, and all the choic-
est game. He will also get the freshest
mackerel, Goldfish and other choice delica-
cies His wagons, three in number, are
already taxed TO their utmost capacity to
deliver the goods, and arrangements are
now being made for more help. All orders
at Logan's are attended to promptly
That's a good guarantee.-ad.

At the Old Stand.

Messrs. Lindsay & Morgan have moved
to their elegant new building corner
Barnard and Broughton streets, and are
now prepared to serve their friends and
the general public at the old stand. The
new building is undoubtedly the finest of
its kind in the south. Built expressly for
the firm, every improvement has been in
troduced, and the warerooms, filed with
the newest and finest goods made in the
country, are well worth visiting. Mr..
Morgan has Just returned from the west,
and his selections are arriving daily.
The display for the fall business will soon
be complete, and those in need of furni-
ture, carpets, etc, should not fail to visit
Lindsay & Morgan.

WOULDN'T AGREE TO IT.
The Naval Stores Situation Still in
a Tangle.

RooeivsS Corners Proposition Mes A0-
cepted and Another Proposition Sub
mitted-Another Meeting to be Held
Tomorrow to Get ths Matters
Straight and the Stocks of Spirits
and Rosin in Proper Hands.
The muddle of the railroad companies
and the naval stores factors and buyers
who own the scattered barrels of spirits
turpeutine and rosin at the wharves has
not been settled yet.
The proposition by Receiver Conner of
the Central Railroad was not accepted by
all naval stores men, several having re-
fused to sign it. During the past two
days the owners of the stocks have been
meeting at the board of trade twice a day,
and have discussed the situation without
coming to any agreement.
The railroads have signified their de-
sire to deliver the stock in any manner
agreed upon by the owners, provided
the railroad companies are guaranteed
against loss or damages in case OF any dis
agreement among the owners after they
have surrended the goods.
A NUMBER OF PROPOSITIONS.
There have been a number of PROPOSE
tons by the factors and buyers, but none
have met with the approval of all con-
cerned.
Al the last meeting, yesterday after
noon, prominent factor proposed that
as the sellers owned only about 215 or 3
per cent of the stocks, they be allowed to
select their stock which could be identi-
fed, and make up their deficiency among
the barrels which have no marks, the
factors agreeing, of course, to pay the
expenses OF moving. II was further pro-
posed to pay a pro rata amount of the
actual loss, after the balance is delivered
to the buyers.
The object in making the proposition
was to be relieved from the tangled situa-
ton and let the buyers settle among them
selves as to the best plan to deal with the
railroads.
THE BUYERS GO OUT.
The proposition. which was presented
in the form of motion before the COM
mittee, was not acted upon, as the buyers
arose in body and left the meeting
The remaining members talked the mat
ter over for few minutes and finally
agreed to get a statement of the exact
amount of stocks claimed by the factors
and submit another proposition at meet
ing to be held tomorrow.
The entire trade is anxious to arrive at
a settlement which will be agreeable to
all parties concerned, as business has
been demoralized for several days.
In the meantime, the demand is increas-
ing for spirits turpentine and rosin, and
prices are steadily advancing.

MR.. woRKMAN's EXPERIENCE
He and His Wife Walked Mile in tn e
Storm to Capt. Blun's House at
Tybee.

He and His Wife Walked Mile in tn e
Storm to Capt. Blun's House at
Tybee.
The many hardships and terrible expe-
riences of the people who were at Tybee
during the storm Of last Sunday will
probably never be known. All of them
had more or less trouble in getting from
dwellings which were going to pieces
under the ravages of the cyclone to places
of safety and security.
Probably none of them had a worse ex-
perience in getting out OF the storm, and
at the same time into it, than Mr.. Ed.
Workman. private secretary to Receiver
Conner. He and his wife and two Young
children were living in the Kehoe cottage,
next to the Naylor House. They re
manned in the cottage all the afternoon in
hopes that the storm would abate. But
seeing that it became worse and worse,
they finally decided to leave and find a
place of safety, as the water was rising
into the cottage. They and Mrs. Ulmer
and family decided to go up to Capt
Blun's house together In the meantime
the storm was getting worse.
Mrs. Ulmer's family left their house
first and somehow the nurse, with Mr..
Workman's children, became separated
from them and went on ahead Mr.. and
Mrs. Workman knew nothing of where
their children had gone but knowing that
they were in charge of the nurse, supposed
them safe They left their cottage after
dark, when the wind and waves were
playing havoc with everything along the
beach, and had to walk the entire distance,
practically without any protection, up to
Capt. Blun's house. Mir Workman says
it is as hard an experience as he ever
wants to go through.

The Races at Thunderbolt.

The match race between Mona and
Ben Harrison at the Thunderbolt driving
park tomorrow afternoon promises to be
hotly contested.
The race will be for o purse of S4O0.
Two hundred dollars of the stakes has
been placed in the stake holders hands
and the balance is to be deposited on the
day of the race.
The event will be for mile heats, best
three in five to harness, and will be gov
erned by the national trot-
ting rules. The conditions are that
the weather and track must be
favorable for racing or the event will be
postponed.
Mona and Ben Harrison have been
given a careful preparation, and if report
goes for anything both horses have been
showing up nicely DIR. Jasme and w T.
Burch have had Mona under their skillfuI
training, and both appear to be well
pleased with her condition and speed. In
fact DR., Jasme has expressed his willing
ness to double the stake. Mona is owned
by Mr.. j. b. Wilson of this city
and will be driven by DR.. Jasme. Tom
L. Boam is to pilot Ben Harrison. He
does not say much and his silence some
what confuses the talent,
When the experienced reinsman was
asked what he thought of the race, he
smiled and said; "Well, Idon't know that l
can whit, but will have my horse in good
shape and fit to go any number of heats.
You see this is Ben's first race and don't
know how he will act. He is young, and
sometimes unsteady. If he is at himself
l think l can give the mare close race of
it. The hackers of Ben will cover all the
money that is offered on Mona"
Ben Harrison is the property of John
Grimm of this city.
The race will be called at o'clock.
There will be no charge for admission.

THE MOTOR LINE DEAL.
The Electric Railway to Take Charge
of the Belt Line This Week.

OF bQ6 b64B Line InlB w eek.
The Electric Railway Company will
take charge of the Belt Line some time
this week. There is a good deal of red
tape to be gone through with yet before
the details of the transfer are completed.
1t has been decided that it will be nee
essary for the Nashville directors of the
Belt Line to be present at the ratifica-
ton by the board of directors. They
have been telegraphed for and will be
here at the meeting tomorrow afternoon
To-morrow's meeting Of the Belt Line
directors will give the final touch to the
deal and the Electric railway will then
take charge at once.
A new board of directors of the Electric
railway will be elected Tuesday.
I'VE are going to do the Richmond and
Danville act" said one Of the directors
yesterday. THE headquarters of the
Belt Line will be removed to the offices
of the Electric railway. All the
Belt Line cars will be reprinted
and the name of the Electric railway sub
stituted for that of the Belt Line The
power house of the Belt Line on Haber-
sham street will be torn down and all the
machinery removed to the Electric rail
way power house on Gwinnett street.
The consolidation will be complete in
every sense of the word"
The police are somewhat worried about
the transfer of the Belt Line to the Elec-
trio railway They have been riding free
on the Belt Line since it was equipped
with electricity. They were allowed the
privilege of riding free on the Electric
railway when the road was first built, but
President Collins said they abused the
privilege and it was withdrawn. The
privilege may be extended by the new
company, however, under certain lmita-
tionS

MUST GO THROUGH QUARANTINE
All the Wrecked Vessels to be Fumi-
gated.

Health OGicer Drummer said yesterday
that the stranded vessels at Tybee will
be put through the same course of fumi-
CATION and disinfection as if they were
lying alongside tae wharf at quarantine.
The quarantine regulations will not be re-
Taxed on account of their condition.
The work of disinfection, DR.. Drummer
scid, will be rather difficult under the
circumstances, as all the utensils for per
forming the work viii have to be carried
TO the vessels, some of which are in rather
inaccessible positions. Nevertheless, the
work will be performed and the vessels
detained the usual length of time before
being released from quarantine.
Whether the masters of the vessels viii
be able to release them from their pres
emit positions after receiving the quaran-
tine officers permission to do so is an
other question.

WILL NEVER BE KNOWN.
The Lost on the Plantations by the
Storm Only to be Guessed at.

Storm Only to be Guessed at.
Probably no accurate description of the
terror and fright among the negroes on
the plantations around Savannah on the
night of the storm can ever be given.
On some of the plantations the negroes
huts were entirely washed away, and
those who had inhabited them, if not
drowned, suffered severely from the ex-
posture and fright. The water which COW
cred the lowlands to the depth of several
feet came up into their cabins so high that
they could not stay in their beds, but had
to take doors and any planks that were
obtainable, place them in the rafters
above and crawl up there for what pro
lection they could get. In case of this
kind where the cabins were blown down
by the force of the wind during the most
terrific part of the storm, some of the in
habitants were either crushed to death or
were carried down into the water below
and drowned
Most of the negroes that could do so
hurried when the storm came on to what
ever places of safety and security they
could find, but some of them were so I'M
fortunate as TO be unable TO find any pro-
lection on the plantations. Others were
drowned in their efforts to reach places
of safety.
The deaths of negroes on the planta-
tions just around Savannah. however, were
very slight as compared to the accounts
of the terrible fatality that come from
the sea islands, where the deaths run way
up in the hundreds and perhaps reach far
into the thousands Every day some new
account increases the death list and the
number of those who are suffering from
starvation on the places that were
wrecked. The work of the storm along
the Georgia and South Carolina coast will
60 down in history, and the entire number
of those killed and wounded as a result
of it viii never be known.

Storm Insurance.

Sundays experience demonstrates
that storm insurance in this vicinity is
just as necessary as fire insurance.
Messrs. M. Ferst's Sons & Co. are
rewarded for their prudent foresight in
carrying storm policies on their valuable
stock, while many owners of DWELLINGS
and other property are concentrating
themselves upon the exercise of like sa-
gacity. For ten years past insurance
against damage by storms has been an
important feature in the business of Mr.
Charles K. Prendergast, whose advertise
ment appears elsewhere inthis issue.-ad.

A HEAVY RAIN AT eUYToN.
The Roads and Fields Washed and
Crops Damaged.

The reported cloudburst at Guyton
Friday afternoon happens to have been
only a very heavy rain storm, the effects
Of which were greatly exaggerated.
Very little damage was done and the
water in the streets was never over \
few inches deep and that only during the
heaviest portion of the storm.
Guyton is situated upon the side of a
hill slOping eastward, and the water ran
of very rapidly. On the low
lands along the railroad track east
depth of three or four feet and covered
the track for some distance. 1t went
down rapidly, however, and did no dam
age TO the track.
The storm did not last quite an hour
The rain was very heavy however, and
prsbably between two and three inches
fell in that time. There being no weather
station at Guyton, the actual fall could
not be ascertained.
Mr.. L. L. Rawls, soliciting freight agent
of the Central Railroad, came down from
Guyton yesterday. He said there had
been very heavy rain storm,
but no particular damage was done in the
town. The crops in the vicinity might
have been damaged somewhat, he thought,
as the rain was reported to be very ex-
tensive.
CdpJ. L. +. OCuDDS, VINO lives at Guy
ton, said he heard of no damage there
from the storm. D. H. Clark. Esq. who
lives at Brewer, five miles beyond Guy
ton, said the rain was very severe at his

able and many bridges were washed
away.
The roads were greatly damaged, being
Justice Elsinger who lives at Guyton,
said the rainfall was the heaviest he had
ever seen there, the water falling in tor
rents and deluging everything.
The fearful damage resulting from
cloud burst is well known, and had one
occurred anywhere in this section reports
of loss of life and property
would already have been received
The rain storm appears to
have been very extensive, covering a
large portion of Georgia and South Caro-
lima.
