DROWNED WHILE DESERVING.
A Seaman From the Raleigh Caught
by an UndertOw.

The crew of the Raleigh is in hard luck
in Savannah. The second drowning since
the vessels arrival here occurred yester-
day morning.
The unfortunate man was a sailor named
Straw. All the indications point to the in
tention on his part to desert the ship. He
had sold off his effects to his companions
and had informed some of them of his in
tention to desert. About o'clock the men
on duty were aroused by cry for help
The cry was so loud that some of the
sailors who were asleep heard it and
reused up. A boat was at once gotten out
and search was made. The man had dis
appeared and the only thing found was his
cap. He Is supposed to have been caught
in the undertow and carried away.
Some of the men in the Raleigh who
were in the city during the day, and who
were spoken to about the matter, said that
Straw had been dissatisfied for some time
He enlisted as a carpenter several months
ago, but not being given fair treatment in
that department. as he thought asked for
a transfer to the landsmen's class, which
was given him The knowledge of his dis
satisfaction did not make things any cas-
Ter for him with the officers, it Is said He
was not allowed to come up to the city
and so determined to come anyhow. He
was splendid swimmer and that is why
his comrades think he was caught in the
undertow as he could easily have reached
the shore
Straw informed his companions that he
had travelled all over the country, that he
was a member of Coxey's army which
MADE the celebrated march to Washington
ana that he was afterwards an Oklahoma
Doomer and secured a good claim, which
he sold for 1880 His messmates did not
know his first name
The, sailors of the warships have mani
rested quite disposition to jump into the
river and swim for their ships since they
have been here. 1t is no uncommon thing
Tor them 10 jump from aboard a steam
boat and swim to the ship without wait
ing to be transferred. One of them who
started TO town on the Gov. Stafford the
other night determined for some reason
to return. He endeavored to persuade the
captain to take him back, which the latter
refused to do. Although the boat was sew
eral hundreds yards from the ship the sail
or simply jumped overheard without any
more words on the subject and swan OFF
In the darkness. He doubtless reached the
ship all right as he has not been reported

was also very pretty
The Tarrentella was very prettily dane

FIXING UP AN AGREEMENT.
The Fertilizer Men Adjourn without
Accomplishing Much.

When the members of the fertilizer con-
vention adjourned their meeting at the De
Soto hotel Wednesday night a committee
of fifteen was appointed for the purpose of
seeing whether any definite agreement
could be formulated for submission to the
interests of the entire trade. That com
mittee was in session until last night when
it adjourned without having accomplished
anything definite.
Before adjourning, however, the commit
tee appointed two subcommittee each of
which has before 1t the duty of preparing
an agreement for trade. They have about
two weeks in which to do this work as
the delegates or representatives of the diff
ferent fertilizer firms will re-assemble on
the call of Chairman Clarke in Atlanta on
or about June g. There were some differ
ences between the members of the com
mittee hence the appointment of the sub
committees
In the meantime the old agreement will
remain of force. There were members of
the fertilizer trade here all the way from
Richmond to Charleston, and the same in
terests will be represented at the meeting
to be held in Atlanta. They are trying to
get at some agreement by which they can
control the output and reduce competition

THE HUNT FOR MASTERS
One savannah Negro who Wants
None of Liberia.

1t Is understood that an officer has been
sent TO the point at which J. W. Masters,
the absconding agent of the International
Migration Society, is thought to have been
located. and it is expected that he will be
heard from definitely within short time.
General Agent w. L. Sanders who has
charge of the society's affairs here will say
nothing whatever with regard 10 Masters
supposed whereabouts, but the impression
is that he has been located. Sanders
stated yesterday that the society has Just
5,192 members in Georgia each of whom is
paying 81 a month on the transportation
fee to Liberia. The application with that
number on the back of II was recently
made here and the contract signed yester-
day. The society has as large
number as hat or even larger
in other states in which 1t
Is doing business, he says. Just as soon as
IL gets 300 paid up members, that will con-
stitute a colony and il will be sent over as
soon as the vessels can be obtained, The
next cargo is expected TO leave here about
the latter part of June.
There Is at least one darby in Savannah,
who does not want to go to Liberia. He
was watching the parade in the park ex-
tension Wednesday afternoon, and was
particularly interested in Uncle Sans ma
val forces.
You don't git me to Liberia" he said as
he saw them pass. LAS long as there is
niggers in the American navy this country
is good enough for me-" and he evidently
m cant what he said.
