CRACK RIFLEMEN AT SEA e1Rr.
Savannah viii Send a Team Not to
Be Sneezed At.

savannah Will send a Team Not to
Be Sneezed At.
The Savannah rifemen who will take
part in the international and interstate
military shoot at Sea Grit, N. j., next
month are hard at work preparing for the
event. They are practicing now three
times a week
Among those who will probably be on
the team are Capt. w. N. Nichols, in
spector rife practice, First Georgia regi-
ment; Sergt. j. G.. Postell. Sergt A. S.
Eichberg and Privates f. G. Wilson, G..
5. Richmond, Thomas Hunter, Albert
Wylly, J. T. Shuptrine of the Georgia
Hussars; Capt George T. Cam, Company
G, Savannah Volunteer Guards, and
Veteran j. p. White of the Republican
Blues.
1t is reported that the Augusta mill
tary expect TO qualify five men to enter
the team, and Que or two are expected
from Troop Fl, of the First cavalry of
WaynesbOro. IL requires q team of
twelve men to enter.
Sergt. Postell of the Hussars who was
appointed by Lieut.. Satterlee, assistant
adiutant general, to act as secretary of
the team, expects to carry fifteen men,
which will allow three alternates
With the number of fine shots which
Savannah has it might seem somewhat
surprising that full team can not be Sc
cured here. Many of these marksmen
with records, however, are not enlisted
members of the militia, and only enlisted
members of the national guards are quail
fed to enter the contest Many of the
enlisted men who have fine records are
unable to spare the time required for the
trip. Lieut.. Satterlee is very anxious
that Georgia should be represented by a
fine team at Sea Grit this year. Just to
show the people up north, he says that
we have soldiers down here that can
shoot
Sergt. Postell expects to leave here with
his team on Aug. Is in order to reach the
grounds in time for a couple of days pre-
liminary practice on them, permission to
do so having been very kindly granted by
Brig. Gen. Bird w. Spencer, inspector
general of rifle practice of New Jersey,
who will have charge of the contest.
The members of the team will be at con-
siderable expense to represent the state
upon this occasion and expect to call
upon the friends of the military for some
assistance in the way of defraying their

A BOILER BLOWS UP.

Cargo of Sulphur.

Nearly Kills the Engineer and Fires q
Cargo of Sulphur.
The bursting of a boiler of steam
hosting engine, at the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway wharvessyesterday,
came near killing the engineer and de-
stroying vessel loaded with sulphur.
Fortunately, however, nobody was hurt,
and ire which started in the vessel was
quickly extnguished
The engine and boiler, which belonged
TO the Smith Il Kelly company, were com
pletely wrecked by the explosion. The
boiler was blown to pieces, and the en-
CINE was torn from the ground and
thrown on one end. The smoke stack
went through the air for sixty
feet with its jacket ripped on

and envelOped the deck of the Italian
bark Concezione, which was lying at the
wharf ready to discharge her cargo of
sulphur. The crew of the vessel began at
once TO throw water on the deck and sue

that time the smell of burning sulphur
attracted their attention to the matches

eating
Capt. Lauro and the mate of the vessel
quickly jumped in the hold, and succeeded
in smOthering the flames by covering
them with more sulphur. They then took
out the smouldering mass and threw it

have been a serious and disastrous CON
tiagration.
The cause of the accident is not known,
and will be investigated to-day by MIR.
Lawrence Kelly of the Smith Il Kelly
Company. The statement made by An
drew Wilson, the engineer, is that fire
was started in the furnace about o'cloCk
in order to get ready to commence dis
charging the bark Conceione at 3o'clock.
He claims that there was plenty of water
in the boiler. The safety valve was set
at eighty pounds and there was only fif-
ty-tiye pounds of steam registered at 3
o'clock when the engine was started, and
the explosion took place
The boiler and engine were valued at
about 81 900, having originally cost 81 800.

BAKING PONDER
TO EXPORT rURPENTINE.
The Naval Stores Factors to Become
Exporters.

The Naval Stores Factors to Become
Exporters.
There is some talk among the naval
stores factors. of exporting spirits tur-
pentine direct to Europe. The stock in
first hands has accumulated to enormous
proportions, being now nearly so, 900 casks.
As there has been no demand for the pro-
duct at the price put on it by the factors,
il has about been decided to offer it to the
consumers in Europe.
The fight between the buyers and SELL
ers has been on for nearly two months,
and neither side appears to be inclined to
give in.
The effort of the factors to maintain
prices, which they claim to be not more
than the cost of production, has succeeded,
so far as holding up the price is con
cerned, but in doing so the factors have
failed to dispose of their product. A few
of the factors have for some time been
agitating the organization of a tank and
importing company, so as to be able to
hold the spirits here when necessary, and
ship direct TO the consumers in Europe,
and in this way dispel all the speculative
measures of the middlemen. The tank
company has been formed, as already
stated in the MORNING News,
and arrangements are now being
made to construct two large tanks to
hold the spirits.
One or two factors have suggested that
it would be to the advantage of the trade
to hold the entire stock now on hand and
place it in the tanks and keep it over I'M
til next season, offering only the future
receipts to the trade.
AS the factors are practically producers,
inasmuch as they supply the operators
with means to manufacture, they have
about agreed to reduce the production
next year, and are receiving the co-opera-
ton of the operators throughout the tur-
pentine sections.
The factors have realized that an effort
must be made to start the business. The
regular exporters have been using every
effort TO bear the market, and the markets
at London and New York have been
quoted low in order to effect decline
here. The stocks in Europe and at all
points in this country, except Savannah,
are comparatively small, and it is gener-
ally believed that there is fair demand
from consumers.
One firm said yesterday: 1--WE are
getting firmer every day in our determine
ton to maintain a fair price for spirits,
and if the local exporters do not come to
our terms we will be forced to offer our
stock to the consumers, who will gladly
save the profits of the middlemen."

CHARGED WITH AN ASSAULT.

Mrs. Katie Britt Says She Was At
tackled and Thrown Down by w. R.
Boozer.
W r. Booze was arrested yesterday on
a warrant sworn out at Justice Naugh-
tins office, charging him with assault
with intent TO rape.
According to the story told by the pros
ecutor, Mrs. Katie Britt, wife of w. j.
Britt, who lives at 10 York street, she
was going home about 1918 o'clock Sun
day night when she was assaulted by
Booze on McDonough street, between Bar
nard and Whitaker. She said she was
out for a walk and was just turning to-
ward home when Booze met her and
stopped her.
She says he grabbed her by both arms
and threw her down on, the sidewalk
drawing a pistol as he did so. He pointed
the pistol at her head, and told her if she
didn't do as he told her he would have
her arrested and put in the barracks.
Her threats and cries finally induced him
to release her and she went on toward
home.
Booze disclaims any such action. and
says he will be able to prove he is not
guilty of the charge. He says he mis-
took her for a girl named Clara, whom he
knew, and spoke to her on that account,
when she turned on him and cursed him,
at the same time raising her hand to
strike him. He says he caught her hand
and that is as far as the attempted as
sault went.
The matter was reported to the solic-
itor general and on his advice warrant
was sworn out by Britt making the
charge against Booze. AS soon as he was
informed that the warrant had been
issued against him Booze went to Justice
Naughtin's court and gave himself up.
He will give bond. The time for the pre-
liminary hearing has been set for to-mor-
row afternoon before Justice Naughtin
when Booze says he will prove himself
innocent of the charge. He says it was a
simple mistake, and he can so show.
On the other hand, Britt is confident
that Booze is guilty, and says he will
push the prosecution as far as the law
allows him to carry it. He was very
much wrought up about the matter yes
terday. aud had he come across Booze be-
fore the arrest was made there would
certainly have been trouble.
1t seems that Britt and Australian
Kelly had some words on the corner of
Bryan and Whitaker streets about 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when Kelly was
ordered by a policeman to keep quiet.
With that he struck the policeman and
was at once arrested charged with
striking an officer. Britt was a wit
ness against him, and as he was
being carried into the barracks he
struck Britt, who was coming out a
heavy blow In the face. Kelly was re-
leased on bond, and afterward went back
to the same place where the difficulty was
renewed. Chief Green came along about
that time and Kelly was arrested a second
time. This time he was not so success
full in obtaining his release, and he spent
last night in the police barracks.

A Virginia Newspaper Comments on
Savannah Lady's Marriage.

IA NATRl1l1a newspaper comments on
Savannah Lady's Marriage.
The Danville (Va). Daily Register of
July % republishes the MORNING NEWS
account of the recent marriage of Miss
Sadie G. Vass and Mr. Robert Van Wage
men of this city and says it contains
several inaccuracies, one of which,
it says, is the reference to
Miss Vass' parents The Register,
however, is mistaken. Miss Vass was by
adoption the daughter of Rev l.. c. Vass.
ID. D., of Savannah; but by birth the
daughter of Mr.. James Vass, of Danville,
Va. Being left motherless at an early
age, she was taken with the consent of
her father, by DR. and Mrs. Vass 10 their
home and hearts has been tenderly
reared and finely educated by them as
though she were their own child, and has
never known any other mother than Mrs.
l.. 9. Vass in this training to wOmanhood.
So while really by birth only the great
niece of DR.. and Mrs. Vass and while
many friends are quite familiar with the
above facts, yet she is naturally ana
properly recognized and welcomed every
where, as their daughter, and the sister
of DR.. Vass' sons. The MoREING NEWS
is correct, although il did not deem IL
necessary at the time TO make the lexpla-
nation now given.

THAT ROAD TO THUNDERBoLr.
Maj. Blandford Thinks the County
Would Get a Good Road Chaan.

Would Get Good Road Cheap.
Mai. r. A. Blandford, county engineer,
is very favorably impressed with the idea
of making road to Thunderbolt by a
continuation of Estill avenue along the
line of the Savannah and Isle of Hope
railroad
He thinks the fact that the Merchants
and Mechanics Land Company has signi-
fled a willingness and desire to give the
county deed to a 100 feet right-of-way
from the present terminus of Estill
avenue to Thunderbolt would enable the
county to secure one Of the cheapest and
at the same time most serviceable roads
IN the county. A l00-foot drive In that
section would furnish a drive through
one of the most pleasant sections in the
county. The place is cleared along the
line of this railroad almost the entire
width and for the entire linear distance.
The principal expense to the county
would be in building the road across
Cuyler swamp This swamp would have

raised road, but the distance is short.
compared with the entire length of what
the road would be. and the construction
would be comparatively easy. Mai.
Blandford will probably consult with
Capt. Purse about the matter, in order 70
find out just what the company will DO I'm
case the matter should be taken up at an
early date Dy the county commissioners.
The road would undoubtedly make an at

Georgia and Florida Gun Clubs to
Meet There.

There will be a competitive team shoot
at Waycross tomorrow, given by the
Waycross gun club. Club teams will
take part from Savannah, Brunswick,
Jacksonville, Boston and Waycross. The
Forest City gun club will send down the
following team, composed of old-time
prize winners: John Rocker, Henry
Woeltjen, John Riedeman, John Ulmer,
and Fred Jaugstetter. The team is a
strong one, but Waycross has some fine
shots and so has jacksonville, and it is by
no means certain that the Savannah team
will bring home the prize. The team
that wins will have to do some good
shooting to take it away from them, how
ever. The team will practice this after
noon at the club grounds.
