CRUSHED AND MANGLED.
A SCHOONER MATE MEETS WITH A
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Caught In the Cogwheels-FiveM Minutes
to Release Him-Hyncinth's
Surgeon.

G. j. Bertelsen, second mate of the
schooner Transit, was caught between
the cogwheels of the donkey engine on
the Transit at ~ o'clock to-day and
had one of his legs terribly mangled.
The man was behind the engine help
ing to start the machinery. Wishing to
get out he stepped over the cogwheels,
left foot foremost. The wheels were al
most at full speed. At this critical
moment it is supposed that he slipped.
His right leg fell upon the wheels and
was drawn between the cogs. He was
caught just below the knee.
The engineer who witnessed the &C.
cident, hastily stopped the engine. The
poor mans leg was then fastened in the
wheels. The machinery had to be re-
versed by hand and it took all of five
minutes to do this. In the meantime
the surgeon of the Hyacinth, who
happened to he at the boat landing
came over. The man was taken from
the wheel and the surgeon examined
the leg. 1t was found to be crushed and
torn in frightful manner. Though
the wound is serious the leg was not
thought to be broken.
A half hour later Drs. McLennon and
McKibbin arrived, and Bertelsen was
taken to the hospital on a stretcher.

BIG EVA is PROSPEROUS.
REPORTS OF OFFICERS OF THE
PLANTATION NEAR TOWN.
Estimate-New Mill-Some
Details.

The annual meeting of the Eva Plan
tation Company was held Friday morn
ing. The reports of Manager Lowrie
and Treasurer Anterior for the nine
months ending September Both were
presented. These were of the most en-
couraging nature. The stockholders
are in high glee. All are pleased with
the showing made, the conditions and
prospects. Some details of labor-saving
appliances were especially welcome.
The directors have again placed Eva
stock on sale. Preference is given to
those already holders, and almost every
person interested has spoken for more
stock. In a few hours Friday orders for
$4,000 of stock were listed. There
were 1118 unissued shares. Ewa's first
dividend is to come from the 1S94.95
campaign.
Mention is made in reports of the new
nine-roller sugar mill, with 28x4S
Coriss engine and hydraulic regulators.
In 1893 81 Eva was operated 200 days
(of twenty-four hours each). There
were cut up 76,sl6 tons of cane. The
crop was 1854 tons of sugar. The crop
or the ensuing campaign is estim II ed
at 5000 tons. The following notes are
from Mr.. Lowry's report:
Profit-Sharing. We have five new
companies, with about one hundred
acres each. They are giving good
satisfaction, and are undoubtedly well
contented with their agreement.
Sisal.-Received 10000 plants April
18th, 1894, and had them set out near
the Managers house. The plants are
looking well, but were very slow in get
ting a start. We expect to transplant
them to some permanent place as soon
as possible.
Canaigre We have received about q
ton of these roots, and have had them
also planted.
With our new set of steam plows we
shall be able to do our blowing at the
proper season, consequently better worl
and better results will follow.
With the completion of these improve
ments the Plantation will be well equip
ped, and should not require any larg,
outlays of money for some time t,
come, excepting, perhaps, two or three
miles of permanent track.
