Julia Brown Determined to Get Her
$4,000 Check From the Ocean
Steamship Company.
Julia Brown, the crazy negro woman
who is laboring under the delusion that
the Ocean Steamship Company is respon-
sible for the death Of her husband, ap.
peared on the scene at the compauy's OF
fee again yesterday morning aud made
another demand for a check for $50, 600
for the loss of her husband
she was in the com pany's Office on Fri
day, and her demand not being granted

she became boisteroUs and had to be sent
to the barracks. She was brought up in
police court Saturday, and being found
moHensiYe and about half crazy. was dis

II seems that the womans husband
was put in Jail Tor stealing something at
the company's wharyes, aud he con
tracted cold and afterwards died. For
this reason she holds the company respon-
STOLE for her husbands death.
She went into the cOmpauy's Office YES

order from the President of the United
States for the money, but ali she rot was

MORE NAVAL STORES AFLoAr.
The Central Railroad Rosin Yards IN
der Water.

The naval stores men were considera-
bly, perturbed yesterday at the state of
affairs at the Central railroad rosin
yard Thousands of barrels of spirits and
rosin were aiioat there all the day before
and the water was still from two to four
feet deep in a portion of the yard yester-
day. The heavy rain of last week filled
the canals passing through the Central
yards to overlooking. A break occurred in
the banks of the MusgrOve Creek canal
and the water poured through into
the rOsin yard in a torrent A force of
hands was gotten to the scene early in
the morning and an heroic effort was
made to dam the stream and fill up the
crevasse, but without avail The men
were driven from their work by the
water, which soon rose over their heads.
BY midday the water was from two to
ten feet deep throughout the whole yard.
Some good work was done in mailing
slips of plank around the sections where
the spirits were stored, preventing the
casks from floating off and confusing the
different lots. There being no wind the
water formed placid lake and did not toss
the barrels of naval stores about, as was
done in the yards by the storm of two
weeks before. Considerable anxiety was
felt, however by the naval stores men
who heard of the trouble.
Ihefe were over 6O,OOO barrels OF Splr-
its and rosn in the yards which had not
been entirely Strengthened out since the
storm, and the prospect of having the
confusion increased was not at all pleas
ant, to say nothing of the probable loss.
The water began to go down Sunday night,
however.
A trip to the scene yesterday afternoon
showed about half the rosin standing in
from one to three feet OF water, and most
of the spirits entirely or partially out Of
the water
1t was feared that many of the hoops
had been burst from many of the spirit
casks, allowing the contents to run out
and the water to run in. This does not
appear to be the case however, as the
inspectors on the wharf yesterday after
noon reported that the leakage from the
barrels which they had examined
seemed to be even less than usual. Their
explanation was that the water had
swelled the barrels so that there were no
cracks left for the spirits to leak out.
1t will take some time for the water to
dry out of the yard and it will be several
days with no further accident before the
yard is in good shape again.
The break in the canal banks was
mended yesterday.

Abode For Nez Taylor.
Nez Taylor got OF the gang yesterday
at O'Clock and Immediately got on a
bender in the endeavor to make up for a
month 5 enforced absence.
He was up before the recorder month
ago for being drunk and disorderlv and
received the usual sentence Of So or five
days imprisonment. He took the occa-
sion to remind the recorder that he had
contributed pretty liberally to the city's
Golfers in few days, and being without
money Just then, suggested that the re
corder would do the proper thing by re
mltJlng the fine Finding the
recorder not disposed to adopt the sug-
gostion, Taylor cursed him roundly. The
result was that Recorder Wilson sent
him to the gang for 30 days.
Taylor imbibed freely yesterday after
noon, and by night he attempted to take
possession of Bull street, He seized a
lady by the arm at Bull and Broughton
streets, almost throwing her off her feet
and at the same time using Insulting Ian

to Savannah theater-goers through her
appearance here with the TroubaIours
She is an actress of reputation ana one of

The play is out of the run of farce
comedies from the fact that it treats of
an entirely different subject from any vet
touched upon by the writer's OF farce
comedy si5its, and so prolific has il proven
that no one of the lauGhter-Droducipg
plays Of its kind is said to equal in the
amount of upr0arous hilarity contained
in its three acts. That the play has
proven a success is owing in great meas
ure to the clever manner in which the
comedicnne, Nellie McHenry, has handled
the dual role of the circus rider and her
twin sister, a most 0emure Coverness.
The entire play deals with circus life:
the last act shows the circus tent itself.
and is a series OF absurd complications
that are CONFUSING in their conception.

negro called himself Alonzo Henderson

given as ginger-cake colored, hight

actly. Henderson denied all knowledge
OF any crime and said that he was not the
man wanted
The rewaed offerd for the Arrest of the
man described in the telegram is $500

A sEMI-aUARAN2INE ON.
Brunswiokers May Come But Cannot
Bring Their Household Goods.

BRING Their Household Goods.
The sanitary board decided yesterday
morning that while residents of Bruins
wick viii be allowed to come to Savan-
nah as freely as they please, they win
not be allowed to bring any bedding or
other household goods or other ar
tieles liable to convey infection until
Nov. L.
The position of the sanitary board
is, that while no further cases Of fever
are expected in Brunswick, it is possible
that fever germs may Turk in bed clothes
and household furniture that were ex
posed to the infection, which mirht de-
velop if given an opportunity elsewhere.
The action Of the board was proablv
caused by the report that some of the res
ldents of Brunswick intended removinr
10 Savannah for fear Of another outbreak
of fever at Brunswick
BY Nov. l all danger of fever will
have disappeared and all restrictions will
be removed

ABOUT SCORPIONS.
One Who Says They do not Commit
Suicide,

One Who Says They do not Commit
Suicide.
Editor of the MORNING NEWS: In read
ing an article in your column "Items Of
Interest,"" on september s, l was quite
interested in what Mr.. e. s. Holden of
the Lick Observatory writes TO Nature
in reference to the suicide of a rattlcr,
and also in reference to Mr.. r. l. Pococks
inquiry as to the suicidal nature of scor-
pions
For the information of both of these
gentlemen, and Others who may be inter
csted in the subject. | beg to inform YOU
that scorpions do commit suicide, as |
have often witnessed such scenes in
Southern Africa, WHICH country abounds
in these insects. Ii is great source of
amusement in some parts of South Africa
to collect about a dozen scorpions, and en-
close them in small ltraal or circular
enclosure, about two feet III diameter,
composed OF dry manure, or what is call
ed in this country buffalo chips and
set the same on fire, thus enclosing them
IN circle of fire; now the fun com
mCuCCs. they BEGIN crawling around the
enclosure, and finding there is no es-
cape, begin to fight among themselves,
this having regular battle royal, with
fiCrcencss that is difficult to described
They attack each other indiscriminatly.
and so continue until gradually one after
another drops out of the fight dead, or
dying, until there is but one left, and
this one then surveys the field Of carnage
and evidently satisfied, walks around
the enclosure several times, and finding
ne is still surrounded by fire, and there
being no escape deliberately raises his
sting, with evident aim, and stings him
self 10 death. This is q common source Of
amusement in the interior If SOufb A fri
ca, more particularly in Namaqaland in
and around the copper mines, where for a
piece Of tobacco, Jne HottentOt laborers
viii go out in the Veldt and collect scorp-
ions by the dozens. CHAs. II. CHAPMAN.
