TWO SAVED AND TWO DROWNED.
The Alpha Picked Up Two Men From
An Upturned Boat.

Capt. Harry A. Strobhar Of the steamer
Alpha, on his Sunday trip to Beaufort,
rescued two negroes from an upturned
sail boat, who in a few minutes more
would have been dead, had 1t not been for
his timely arrival.
When the Alpha reached Broad river
Capt strobhar was on the lookout, and
had his glasses in hand taking in the sur
roundings. In the distance, near Paris
Island, he sighted an upturned sail boat,
and concluded that there was somebody
in distress. AT any rate, he determined
to make an investigation, and it was for
tunate for two men at least that he did
so.
He went over to the boat, and there
found two negroes clinging TO it, but they
were so exhausted that in a little while
they would have been carried down into
the sea forever. CaptStrObhar finally man
aged TO get them on board the Alpha
They appeared then almost Hfeless from
exhaustion, and only one Of them could
move his lips and say two drowned, two
drowned"
The two men were walked UP and down
the deck, rolled over barrels, and given
whisky to drink to revive them. 1t took
were still in a very weak and exhausted
condition.
1t was learned then that four negroes
had started out in the sailboat which
was about twenty-five feet long, on a fish
ing trip. When rounding Paris Island in
Broad river, they lost control of their sail
in some manner and the boat cap
sized. Two of the men, Harry Hudson
and Ira Bee, were drowned. The boat had
been caught in quite a heavy gale, but the
other two men managed to hold on to the
upturned boat and they had been hanging
to it for two or three hours when they
were taken off by the Alpha. The sea
water was washing over them all the time,
and they had swallowed quantities of it.
Their tongues were hanging out, and
there was every indication that it would
have taken but little while longer to
finish them.
The boat was some distance from the
Alpha when it was sighted by Capt. Strob
har, but he is always on the lookout under
such circumstances, and it was on this ac-
count that he sighted her. He took the
two negroes over to the naval station,
where they went ashore.

BURNED by EXPLODING GAS.
Hal. II. Howard, Jr. Seriously In-
iured.

Mr.. Hal P. Howard, Jr., a clerk in the
office of Mr.. r. L. Pritchard, real estate
and tax agent of the Central railroad, was
the victim of a serious accident yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Howard struck a match in a safety
deposit vault at the Office and gas, that
had accumulated in the confined space
from a partially closed burner, was ig-
nited. The explosion caused by the ig-
milton of the gas threw Mr.. Howard sew
eral feet backward, and blew a small door
and a pair of window blinds. that were
in the room into which the vault opened
from their hinges.
The young man was severely burned by
the flames. his face and hands suffering
most His right hand was more badly
burned than the left as he threw the
former up to protect his eyes. DR.. r. IL
Norton was summoned just after the ac-
cident and bandaged the burns. Mr.
Howard was then driven TO his home, No.
204 CASTOR street, east, where he is now
resting as easily as could be expected
with his flesh in its burned condition.
Mr.. Howard was the last one in the
vault last ID luIQdg night W0eH ne put
up some documents. on leaving the
vault, he turned out the gas, but a slow
escape continued as the cock
did not, it seems shut off the flow com
pletely. Yesterday morning the porter
of the building noticed the smell of gas
in the room from which the vault opens
and called the attention of Mr. Howard to
it, saying that he suspected gas was es-
Gaping in the vault.
Mr.. Howard got the key and went to
inspect the vault at the same time to get
some papers. AS soon as he had opened
the door, he was assailed and driven back
by the overpowering smell He left the
vault door open four or five minutes for
the gas to make it's escape. He then en-
tered and thoughtessly struck a match.
As he did so he was blown back by the
explosion The gas near the floor had
found an exit through the open door, but
more remained higher up, where, having
less weight than air, it had ascended.
When Mr.. Howard raised his hand to light
the jet he set fire to the accumulated gas,
which exploded with the noise of a can
non and attracted many of the clerks to
the scene.
None of the papers in the vault were in
jured, though the envelopes of some were
scorched. Mr.. Howard will probably be
confined for several weeks by his inju-
ries.

sHRINERs TO SEE JEFFERSON.
They VIII Attend His Performance
Wearing the Red Fer.


The sale of seats for Joseph Jefferson's
performance of Rip Van Wrinkle, which be-
gan yesterday morning is the largest both
in receipts and in the number of seats sold
of any engagement at the theater this sea-
son. The sale for the first two hours foot
ed up over $1,000.
The first seats sold were to the members
of Alec Temple. ancient Arabic Order of
Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine, who will at
tend the performance in full dress, wearing
the distinguishing mark Of the order-the
red fez-in compliment to Mr.. jefferson.

in advance for 60 seats, and the selections
were made at the opening of the sale The
most of the Shriners will be accompanied
by ladies. They viii occupy the center sec
tion of the theater Practically the entire
lower part of the house was sold last night
at 50 a seat. The audience both in numbers
and character, promises to be one Of the
most brilliant of the season.
MIR. Jefferson was at one time associated
with John Ellsler the father of Effie
management of the Savannah theater,
back in the days of stock companies.
Up TO that time Jefferson had only at
tanned the reputation Of a creditabIe stock
actor. 1t was not until late in the go S,
when he was connected with Laura
Keenes theater IN New York that he be-
came famous. MIR Jefferson has played
upon the boards of the Savannah theater
for nearly fifty years, and for twenty
years or more he has been seen here in
Rip Van Wrinkle. the favorite Of all his
plays. Not only because of his ability
and reputation as an actor and as one of
the famous men OF the times win he be
given a welcome by Savannah theater-go-
ers, but his Identification with the old
theater whose walls have echoed the words
OF the greatest men and women Of the
stage, adds interest TO his appearance
upon its boards.
