NO COLOR LINE IN TYBEE CARS.
COIOred Passengers Make Free Use
Of the Regular Coaches.

There has been repeated complaint by
Tybee eXcursionists of the failure of the
Tybee railroad to furnish separate cars
for negroes.
on excursion days the travel is heav-
Ter than on other days of the week There
was the usual crowd of people on the ISL
ana yesterday. The last train, which
leaves Tybee at o'clock, is nearly al
ways crowded. Last night the train con-
sisted of two coaches and a baggage car
The coaches were overcrowded, people be-
ing compelled to stand in the aisles and
sit on the edges of the seats. In the
first coach were twenty-three negroes In
the second coach were upward Of a dozen.
In both coaches they were sandwiched be-
tween white passengers wherever they
could crowd in. There were between thir-
ty and forty on the train, some of whom
were induced by the conductor to ride in
the baggage car. The negroes had been
on an excursion to the north end of Ty-
bee. most Of chem having gone down on
the afternoon trains.
They piled into the cars with lunch bask-
cts and other bundles ana where they were

CHIEF MAGUIRE's HEARING.
Fire Commission to Begin Its Inves-
tiSatiOn To-day

Fire Commission to Begin Its Inves-
tigatiOn To-day.
The fire commission will begin its in
vestigation of the charges which it has
preferred against Fire Chief Mcguire. at
o'clock this afternoon. All of the wit
nesses who testified before the investigat-
ing committee of council have been sum-
moned to appear.
Chairman Grayson said yesterday that
the commission will first take up the
case for the prosecution and endeavor
to bring out everything on that side. This
is the object he said, in summoning the
witnesses who appeared before the inves-
tigating committee.
In addition, all other witnesses, who are
reported to know anything concerning the
alleged misconduct of the chief at any
time, will be summoned. the object being
to make out as full case as possible,
1t is likely that under these circumstances
the prosecution may be represented at the
hearing.
After the case has been made out by
the prosecution Chief Mcguire will be al
lowed to introduce evidence in rebuttal
and will be given the fullest opportunity
to do so. The intention of the commits
sion, Chairman Grayson said, is to make
the investigation full and complete and
entirely above question.

FOREIGN TONNAGE SCARCE.
Few Cotton steamers Engaged and
But Two Advertised TO Take Car

goes.
The engagement of foreign steamers for
cargoes Of cotton Is rather slow for this
season Of the year. There are only two
advertised TO take cargoes so far. They
are chartered for Barcelona and Genoa,
and will not arrive until the last of Au-
gust.
A few others are reported to have been
chartered for September and October load
ing. but the ship brokers will not announce
engagements this early In the season.
There is a scarcity of long voyage tom
mage. which. when available. commands
fun rates. Steamers for grain have been
in strong demand during the past few
weeks. This makes the offerings for cot
ton quite light
II is rather cary to calculate on the
freight business, as the movement OF cot
ton Is behind that Of last year. The act
ual stock of upland cotton now at Savan-
nah is less than 1000 bales. while the daily
receipts are averaging less than 10 bales
Az this time last year the average daily
receipts were about 60 bales, although the
movement Of the new crop then was late.
The demand FOR sailing vessels for car
goes Of naval stores. and coastwlse schoon-
ers for lumber cargoos, is very quiet while
rates are low ana unsatisfactory.

CIPHER SOLD FOR A SONG.
The Wreck ana Its Cargo Sold For
$II2.5O.

The Wreck ana Its Cargo Sold For
$I12.5O.
The sale of what remains of the British
barkentine CIPHER and her cargo, after
the destructive fire, took place yesterday.
Mr.. John Mclaughlin was the auctoneer
The lifeboat was sold to Capt. F. G.
strachan for S25, and the ships
yawI brought 81, which was
also bid in by Capt. Strachan.
The vessels hull. as she lies on
a bank in the river below the city, was
then put under the hammer. The first
bid was $40, which was added to 81 at
time until $6l was reached by Mr.. T. b.
Floyd who made the last and highest
bid and secured the vessel. Then the
cargo remaining in the vessels hold was
put up. A bid of s. was raised to $3.50
by Mr. Floyd, to whom it was sold.
Capt Thomas of the CIPHER is still in
the city. He wants to get back to Eng
land and is waiting the arrival of funds
from home. His loss from the fire was
heavy. Nothing of his personal effects
was saved AS he expressed it. his world
ly possessions just now amount to the
suit of clothes he has on. All the charts,
books and instruments aboard the vessel
belonged to Capt Thomas personally, and
tnelr loss leaves him out about Sl,VOO.
The CIPHER, Capt. Thomas says, was al
ways an unlucky vessel. Sailors get an
idea of this kind into their heads about
craft and there il sticks. Sometimes the
spell that seems to he on a vessel keeps
many sailors from shipping aboard of her
Her course and theirs are not shaped the

The rimid Yeung Ma DiA Not Like ths
Lssd Vetoed Clerk.
He was dmid, sGlf 'conscious young
man and could not get over the idea that
everybody he met was looking for some
thing to laugh at In his conduct. 1t made
him blush 10 carry his big package into
the express office. He was sure that every
body thought 1t highly ridiculous for q
young man of his appearance to be seen
carrying package on the street He tried
TO hide Ii under his overcoat and thereby
called attention to it all the more. He felt
a trife reassured after he got into the Of
fee for there was a crowd Of people, and
every one had a package similar to his
own. There was no danger of his being
laughed at there IL he could only do as the
rest did. But the busy, relentless clerk
spoiled 1t all. He would insist on speaking
to this young man Ia loud tone of voice
which could be heard by everybody In the
room. That was why che young man felt
a disposition to abandon his package and
run when the clerk told him It was not
addressed properly. Express companies
might hire clerks who would be consider
ate enough not to shout out their custom
ers' blunders in that way, he thought. He
was half minded to try another company,
but the thought Of having to face the
crowd on the street again with that pack
age under his arm restrained him. His
troubles did not end, however, when ne
had remarked his package and presented
himself a second time
Anything breakable or any liquid in
this!" gruffly demanded the clerk. The
timid young man blushed and stanmered,
and the clerk had to repeat the question
before the young man managed to say that
the package contained bottle of wine.
The busy clerk began writing the receipt
whats the valueS" he inquired. That
capped the climax. The young man shift
ed from one foot to the other and said
something in an inaudible tone.
"Whatr' thundered the clerk.
Grown desperate at last, the young man
leaned far over the counter and, putting
his hands to his mouth, whispered, with
tears in his eyes:
"It's California wine, since you're |
bound to know. And my mother made |
me bring it down, and it's going to my
auntie"
Whats the values' demanded the i'm |
patient clerk for third time
The young man looked fearfully around |
There was no help for it, he leaned for
ward again and whispered in choking
voice that was still audible to everybody
In line:
Twenty five cents'
And then everybody did laugh. Buffalo
