NO ACTION TAKEN so FAR.
The Grand Jury May Take Up the
o'rerrell Killing This Week.

The Grand Jury May Take Up the
O'rerren Killing This Week.
No action has yet been taken in regard
10 the killing of Thomas O'Terrell by the
negro Joe Sidey, on Skidaway Island last
Wednesday afternoon, and seemingly no
effort whatever has been made to catch
the criminal.
Solicitor General Fraser was asked
about the matter yesterday. He said the
matter seemed 10 have excited very little
attention among the mans friends, if he
had any, as none of them had taken any
steps in the matter, and no warrant
bad been sworn out against the culprit.
He had intended to have Detective Nor
gan go on the case at once, but that OIL
Ger has not recovered from an illness
which has kept him in bed for several
days past
Mr.. Fraser said he intended TO present
the matter to the grand jury at its next
meeting aud then proceed at once against
the guilty parties.
Nobody has been in the solicitors office
yet to give him any information with re-
gard to the matter, and the crop of wit
nesses in the case has not been very
prolific.
Sheriff Roman says he is ready to pro-
coed TO do what he can in the matter
whenever the warrants in this or any
any other case are turned over to him.

SAYS HE DIDN'T STEAL EN-.
Spanish Johns Story About the Port.
uRuese Sailors.

John Rodriguez, who has been charged
from their clearinghouse, says he has
been misrepresented. Rodriguez says
there were only two Portuguese sailors
involved in the case, and they have not
left town, but are still at his house at
Randolph and jackson streets, where
they can be found at any time.
Rodriguez says the two sailors were
persuaded to leave their vessel, the Portu-
guese bark Basil, about six weeks ago by
Annie Nelson, who keeps house at the
corner of Price street and York street
lane The men were promised work at
high wages and good time generally of
the kind commonly sought by sailors
ashore.
Rodriguez says the intentions were to
ship the men aboard some vessel, as is
commonly done by the lower class of
sailor boarding houses. The woman was
unsuccessful, however, and fired the two
men out of her house at the end of six
weeks without cent of money in their
pockets. She retained their clothes.
He met the men on the street. Rodri-
guez says, and they accosted him and
begged for something to eat and place
to sleep. He took them to his house,
where he fed them and gave them place
to sleep.
The men asked him to go to the Nelson
woman's house and get their clothes,
which he did. The woman afterwards
took out a posseSsory warrant in Justice
Elsinger's court for the clothes and he
gave them up. Rodriguez says one of the
men secured employment on Wilson s
fishing smack, at Thunderbolt, but was
persuaded to leave, The object in doing
this, he says, was to get the man where
the women with whom they associated
could snip him when the opportunity
offered.

PICKED Up By A LIFEBOAT,
The Master and Two Sailors from the
Adelphia Saved.

Their sailboat Capsized in a SQuall,
Water Until Rescued by the Chatta-
hoochee on Her Way to Sea.
Capt. o. Markussan, of the Norwegian
bark Adelphia, now at Tybee, had a narrow
escape from drowning with two OF his men
in the Savannah river yesterday.
The Adelphia arrived at Tybee from
Liverpool Friday night. Yesterday morn
ing Capt. Markussan started up 10 the
city in a sailboat with two sailors. At
Five Fathom Hole they were struck by a
squal, which capsized the boat and
threw them into the water. They swan
around until they got their feet upon
the bottom Of the upturned boat. The
ballast in the boat prevented il from
rising and they were Just able 10 keep
their heads above water.
Their position was a perilous one, as
the wash from the ebb tide threatened
to carry them of their uncertain footing.
They had been in the water about a quar-
ter of an hour when the Chattahoochee
came down the river on her trip to
New York. The position of the men in
the water was seen and life lines
were unable TO reach the life lines
and Capt. Savage ordeerd out a boat
which picked the men up and brought
them aboard.
They were put ashore at the lighthouse
where Lighthouse Keeper johnson fur
nished them with dry clothes and gave
them hot coffee and good food,
Capt. Mari ussan came up to the city
last night on one of the tugs engaged in
the drdeging work on the river He Is en-
thusiastic in his praises of Capt. Savage
for his prompt and successful rescue, and
is very grateful for the kind treatment
received from Mr.. Johnson, the keeper
Of the lighthouse.

For SANITARY INSPECTION.
The Commissioners Give the Citizens
Sanitary Association the $1,000.

Inc commissioners GIVE the Cite ems
Sanitary Association the 81, 900.
In making tip their budget last summer
the county commissioners put aside 81, 900
for the purpose of sanitary inspection, but
did not designate at the time just in what
manner it was to be used. Before that
time it had been given to the Citizens
Sanitary Association every year to pay
for the services of the inspector whom
they employed, but the new board thought
at first there might be some other use or
need for the amount.
They have finally decided, however to
give the appropriation to the sanitary as
sociation to defray the expenses of their
inspector, MIR. NJ. j. Desvergers. 1t is
given the association under the condition
that it is to cease when the services of
the inspector are not needed, or when
they are not satisfactory to the commits
sioners, and is to be paid quarterly. Mr..
Desyergers has given the association good
service, and his efforts have resulted in
much good to the community.
