COLIMA VICTIMS ovERTAkEN
BY DEATH WHILE ASLEEP.
Latest Reports Swell the List of'Lost

Fifty Mises of the Mexican lCosst-
Nineteen Were Saved.
Haa as2 Persons ON Board.

Only meagerand unsatisfactory advices
have been received regarding the founder
ing of the Pacific Mail steamer Colima
at Manzanillo, Mexico. The officials of
the Pacific Mail in San Francisco persist
ed in reinstatement that they had received
no information of the wreck of the steam
er, and they tried to discredit entirely the
statements of the disaster Several dis
patches have been received by the Mer-
chants Exchange and by private ship
ping firms all confirming the tale of the
ocean tragedy, and varying only in the
minuteness of the information conveyed.
Capt Pitts of the steamer San Juan
autographed that he picked up boat con-
tanning nineteen persons, fourteen OF
whom were passengers and five members
of the crew of the Colima. The rescued
boatload was taken to Manzanillo and
the steamer San Juan started out again In
search of other boats from the Colima,
the presumption being that the balance of
passengers and crew was afloat in other
'Doats.
The Colima's Boiler Burst.
The latest intelligence regarding the dis
-aster received was in cipher message to a
San Francisco shipping firm containing
the statement of Third Officer Hansen,
Awho was in charge of the boat picked up.
Hansen stated that about IL 10 at night
as the Colima was about fifty miles from
Manzanillo, and between that port and
Punta st. Almo, an accident occurred to
her machinery. Hansen had not time to
investigate the trouble, but believed a
boiler had burst. The Colima was put
about, but began to sink rapidly.
A scene of wild confusion followed.
One boat was lowered and most of the
others swung out, but so far as Hansen
knows the boat he commanded was the
only one which got clear of the sinking
ship. 1t quickly foundered. and to avoid
the suction Hansen's boat quickly pulled
clear, and the night being dark, it was inn
possible to tell whether the other boats
got away from the ship or not.
The Colima was a single-screw propeller
with iron hull. She was built in 1873 nj
Chester, Pa, by John Roach q Sons. Her
tonnage was 2,9O964 gross, 2,143,So net,
her horsepower LOO and her speed eleven
and one-half knots. This was her one
hundred and twenty-ninth voyage TO Pan
ANA. She carried about 1000 tons OF
ecargo and was valued at $103,O0O.

Atlanta. Ga, April 2S-The Memorial
day exercises, which were postponed on
Friday on account of unfavorable wealth
er, were held this afternoon. 1t was an
ideal day for such an occasion and thous-
ands turned out to honor it. L. L. knight,
brilliant young journalist of the city,
delivered the GRAFTON from the foot of the
confederate monument in Oakland ceme-
terry, within hearing of 1900 people.
All the local military with the various
civil societies were out in full force to par
ticipate in the procession. Gov. Atkinson,
mounted, rode in line with his staff, his
appearance in the saddle, which is the

of favorable comment. The feature of the
procession was the appearance of the Gate
city Guard under arms. Recently the

with the state military authorities because
OF its refusal to enlist in the state SER
vice, and II was reported that an injunc-
ton would be sought TO restrain the com
pany from bearing arms In public Gov.
Atkinson was asked to interfere, but de-
ciined. Public sentiment was against such
action, and II was abandoned. The Guard
turned out 100 men with full brass band
and bugle corps and was given an ovation
on the streets. The company carried to
the cemetery a magnificent floral Offering

The First Baptist Sunday school cele-
brated its sixty-eighth anniversary last

night it seemed that nature had offered
her choicest gifts. The pulpit and plat
form were massed with evergreens, plants
and fragrant roses, shedding their per-
fume over the entire church.
The school marched into the auditorium
from the Sunday school room, singing the
professional hymn, Praise the Lord, Ye
Heavens, Adore Him." AS soon as the
children were seated the opening hymn,
Songs of Gladness, was sung. The scrip
ture lesson was read by Mr.. j. r. Cain.
This was followed by an interesting ex-
ercise by the infant class and recitations
by Misses Bessie Proctor, Edna Haupt,
Rochelle Tarver, Dora RaWls, all of them
most charmingly given.
The hymn Come Unto Me- was sung
after which the Superintendent, Mr.. An
drew J.. Farie, read his annual report.
The school, as shown by the report, is in
a flourishipg condition. Following the re-
port which was an interesting one to the
school the hymn Pardon, Peace and Pow

Darien. Ga, April 2S.-The funeral of
Rev. Robert Mifiiin, late pastor of the
First African Baptist church, took place
at o'clock to-day. His demise occurred
last Monday morning but his congrega-
ton had his remains embalmed, and
meanwhile elaborate preparations have
been made for the funeral to-day. Since
9 o'clock this morning the First African
Baptist church has been packed and sew
eral hundred have had to content them
selves with staying on the outside. Large
parties from Brunswick, Crescent, St.
Simons Sapelo and surrounding islands
gathered in the city during the day, and
the crowd which accompanied the re-
mains to the grave is estimated at about
1900
Rev. Miffiin had an unusually firm grip
on the colored people. He was quiet,
kind and dignifed in his manner toward
them, and the splits and quarrels so COM
mon in colored religious circles were un-
known amongst his flock. The whites
considered his conduct exemplary in all
respects and he enjoyed the esteem of all
of those with whom he came in contact.
There were over 100 Masons in line, the

A Common Practice.

It's quite common for some trades people
to persuade a customer TO take some other
article instead of that called for. It is
sometimes called substitution, but it's
cheating the customer out Of that which
he wanted. II is always done for mean
motive The dealer who does this has no
consideration for his customer. It's like
getting rid Of something in which the
dealer himself was swindled, and yet he
must get his money out Of il by deceiving
the customer. We say to the readers Of
this Journal that when you ask for Sim
mons Liver Regulator don't take anything
else instead--it's the best liver medicine.
The advertising is increasing the demand
for II, and the people who call for II should
get Il, especially 50 because there is no
liver medicine like Simmons Liver Regn-
lator. Insist upon having II. and note that

our DRINKING WATER.
Ii Is PILED With Impurities I'm Ev-
cry Part of the Land.

GNs AaNA u AHt AahOs
New York City on a recent day con-
sumed 100000 gallons OF water. AT
least 1,OO0.0o0 gallons of impurities were
contained In this quantity. II Is, there
fore, not surprising that the question OF
purity of drinking water has invaded the
business Office. Rich men who are vexed
by slight physical ailments. or who are
the victims Of nervous troubles, are not
slow to discover that there is danger in
the water cooler. Many of them have their
water boiled and chilled by refrigeration
before they will drink it. Others have in
their private offices jars OF mineral waters.
Many bank and railroad presidents are
particular about having the water they
drink free from poisonous germs. People
who would avoid the dangers which arise
from water impurities at all times should
make a practice of taking a little pure
whiskey each day. Even should germs
tually destroy them. 1t will keep the
blood free from faint, and in healthy mo-
ton.
Great care should be taken. however. to
have only pure whiskey, and u should be
remembered that there is but one ac-
knowledged pure medicinal whiskey, and
that is Duffys Pure Malt. 1t is not like
other WHISTLES. 1t is palatable, strength
ening, nourishing, and does just what Is
claimed for IL. Do not permit any one to
convince you otherwise.

BURGLARS TACKLE a TAILOR.
They Nearly Get Away With Sack
Full of Goods From Kennedy's.


Burglars entered the place of Mr.. e. J..
Kennedy at Bull and York streets last
night about 1916 O'Clock They made their
entry by the rear door On the York street
side, and in SO doing set off the burglar
alarm. They were not aware of this fact,
however, and proceeded to fill up a large
sack with new clothing.
Waterman jeff Crowley hurried to the
place as soon as the alarm came in. The
burglars were just leaving with the sack
of clothing. When they saw Crowley COM
ing they dropped the sack and ran. The
watchman blew his whistle for the police.
and Policeman Mefdugh, who was on
Broughton street, responded. The thieves
had escaped in the darkness, however. Mr..
Crowley could not say Wether they were
white or black, but observed that one was
a stout man and the other a short man or
boy.
Policeman Tullis, who was on Bull street
arrived few minutes after Policeman
McHugsh. He said that in passing the place
about twenty minutes before the at
tempted burglary occurred, he noticed
two negroes sitting on the railing oppo-
site kennedy's store. One was a large,
heavy set fellow and the other boy. He
went up to the pair and told them to get
away from there. that il was too late to
be hanging on the railing and they would
have to move along. The pair moved off
in the darkness. From the description CIV
en- by the burglar alarm Waterman of the
two men seen by him Policeman Tullis is
satisfied that they are the same men whom
he ran away from the place only a short
An examination of the door showed that
1t had not been broken in and that 1t had
either been unlocked by the men or that
they found il unlocked. An examination
of the contents of the bag showed that the
burglars had selected a nice lot of cloth
ing, some of which had not been com
