Bought by Capt. Elton A. Smith for
$1,000,

Bought by Capt. Elton A. Smith for
$1,000.
The British bark Barbadian was sold
at auction yesterday, by order Of the
board of survey, for account OF all con-
cerned. She was purchased by Capt. E.
A. Smith and others for 81 ,050.
The Barbadian Is q composite built iron
frame vessel, with wood planking, iron
beams, bulwarks, stanchions, and copper
fastened. She was built in 1867 at Dun
barton, Scotland. and is 176 feet 8 inches

feet inches deep. Her net register is
673 tons.
The purchase included the vessel, sails,
rigging, boats, anchors, chains, etc. The
purchasers have not decided what to do
with the vessel, but will probably strip
her and convert the hull into barge
The bark Barbadian arrived at this port
in distress about Nov. /, having been
ashore at Doboy. She was from Barba-
does, bound for Brunswick when she en-
countered storm off the Georgia coast
and was blown ashore. She was subse-
quently foated and sailed to Tybee Her

AT THE THEATER.
Warde and James to Open Their En-
gagement Tonight With Virginius.

Warde and James to Open Their En-
gagement Tonight With Virginius.
The Warde-James combination will open
its engagement tonight with Virginius.
The association of Frederick Ward and
Louis James for the presentation of legiti-
mate dramas, with scenic mountings, is
to be commended by all lovers of the
highest class of dramatic work, for the
co-stars are actors of the highest ability
and extensive experience, and whatever
impersonation they are called upon to
present bear the impress of thought and
conscientious endeavors. With them
there is no need of the sacrificing of the
smaller roles to suit the star parts. The
ensemble is well preserved, and an ex-
cellent all-round performance is the re-
suit
"Virginius" will be presented by a cast
including Mr.. Warde as Virginius, Mr.
James as Appius Claudius Mr.. Charles
D. Herman as Icilius and Miss Fanny
Bowman as Virginia.
Messrs. Warde and James have just
concluded the most successful two
weeks engagement ever played in New
Orleans.
Julius Caesar" will be presented at to-
morrow's matinee, and "Othello" to-mor-
row night.
Quite number Of theater goers are
anxious that the Warde-James combina-
tion should change its Saturday night bill
of "Othello' to Francesca di Rimini. :"
The former play has been presented here
quite number of times and is not likely
to prove drawing card, especially for
Saturday night. Francesca di Rimini"
has not been seen here in a number of
years, and would undoubtedly prove a
good attraction for Saturday night.

No true Georgian desires that this state
should suffer from the evils of a bitter
factional fight. Only the republicans
and the populists would profit by
division of the democracy and they are
the only ones that hope for it. II l be-
lieved that my candidacy would imperil
the state democracy and threaten di-
vision, | would withdraw at once. 1 had
rather give up all hopes of preferment at
the hands of my fellow citizens than in
cur the risk Of such an evil"
WATSON THE PoPULIsTs' CHANCE.
Gen. Evans is of the opinion that Mr..
Watson will be the candidate of the pop
ulists for governor this fall in spite of the
protestations of that leaders friends to
the contrary If Mr.. Watson should fail
in being elected governor he can be can
didate for senator to succeed Senator
Colquitt should a sufficient number of his
friends be elected to the legislature to
warrant him in making the effort, and
should he fail in this he will still
have time to run for congress 10 the
Tenth district. Mr. Watson Is well
known as one Of the shrewdest political
managers in the state, and he is not likely
to neglect any chances Of personal pre-
ferment.
Gen. Evans believes that he will be
able to win back to the Democratic party
a large number of those populists who are
still democrats at heart and were only
temporarily estranged from the party.
Gen. Evans only left the Pulaski house
once yesterday, when he went to take
dinner with Gen. A. r. Lawton, his old
commander. He spent the afternoon in
conference with his friends. Some of his
more enthusiastic advisers are urging i'm
mediate organization, and it is probable
that movement will be inaugurated at
an early date. Gen. Evans is being urged
to return to Savannah Feb. % for the pur-
pose of addressing the people at the
theater, and will probably consent to do
so. 1t is believed that this would furnish
a fitting close to the exercises of the day
which is always observed as holiday in
Savannah.
Gen. Evans intended to spend only one
day in the city, but his reception was so
warm that he has agreed to remain over
another day and will not leave until 6
o'clock tonight. If the weather permits
he will take a carriage drive around the
city with Mayor McDonough this after
noon.

thought the fighters were aboard, as they
gazed at the train with longing eyes.
The arrival of the train at the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western depot created
considerable excitement. as the crowd
there felt certain that the champion was
aboard. il was mistaken, however, as
the train brought only handful Of enter
prising newspaper men and equally en-
terprising railroad men.
The United Press train over the Flor
ida Central and Peninsular, which
brought Mr.. +. w. Townsend, made the
run 10 Savannah in three hours and
thirty-three minutes including stops
The distance is 142 miles. The
crowded conditions of the wires
at Jacksonville rendered it
impracticable TO get the United Press
matter sent out and Mr.. Townsend filed
his report at the Western Union office.
Over 456, 900 words of newspaper specials
and reports were filed at the Western Of
fee in Jacksonville last night almost
blocking the wires.
President Duval, of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad, gave a wine
dinner at the De Soto last night TO the
crew that brought the newspaper special
The train was side-traeked near the
arena, and when the result was known
the reporters jumped aboard.
Mr.. Town send had $500 words OF his
report ready upon his arrival here.
wRIGHT's STORY OF THE FIGHT.
The De Soto corridors presented lively
scene last night. Conductor Wright,
who brought the Herald special in, and
who had seen the fight was king Bee"
for awhile. He was the observed above
all observers, and to the crowd that sur
rounded him he told, in a way peculiar to
himself the details Of the big mill.
The third round was evidently cork
ing good one, from his description. The
two men faced each other, and while
Mitchell was looking like dog with his
tail cut, Corbett was smiling and feeling
like 3-year-old behind brass band of so
pieces. When Corbett gave the knock out
blow Mitchell went down on his face and
fell on his nose, which had been broken
in the second round. and lay in the spot
where he originally fell. His seconds
prayed to the nine gods but it was no go.
Mitchell, the narrator said, will need a
whole side of raw beef to get his face
back where it was before Corbett hit
him.

the run. Assistant Master of Transporta-
ton II. E. Hutchins and Mr.. II. G. Nc
Fadden, chief clerk of the passenger de-
partment of the Plant system, accom-
panied the train.
The object of the Herald correspond
ents in taking a special train to reach Sa-
vannah was to secure possession of the
Gable Postal Company's wires at this
point, there being only one Office at jack
sonville, that of the Western Union.
All the arrangements for the train had
been made before the fight AS soon as

- Collector Johnson's four years. term of

There was some question as to who
should act after the expiration of the out
going collectors term, and until
the new appointee is qualified
to enter upon his duties. 1t was
settled, however, that the outgoing
collector should remain until his successor
qualities. Mr.. johnson will probably have
week or moro yet to serve, as it will
take that length of time, and possibly
longer, for Mr.. Beckwith to get every
thing in shape after his confirmation, to
assume the reius of control.

NEw YORK, Jan. 1s.--The general opin-
ion Of leading tinauciers in this city Is Ia
vorable TO the success Of the government
loan. 1t is predicted that II will be sub.
scribed for many times over, and that bids
will in the majority of cases range from
ll1% to llslI4, the first figures giving bro
kers small margin Of profit and the lat.
ter affording the investor better terms
than by buying the present government
issues at current quotations. In view OF
the fact that the bonds are issued for gen.
eral subscriptions, the belief is expressed
by some bankers that the national banks
will not be very largely represented
among the bidders, for the reason that
they will be likely to await Tor the contem-
plated issue of per cent. bonds, which,
it is believed, congress will authorize as
affording greater profit. There 10 very
general feeling that very few bonds will
be taken by foreign investors, as Ameri-
can capital can afford TO bid higher than
foreign competitors.
