VIII De Passed Upon In the Libel
Against the Minnewaska's Master.
The libel Of ex-First officer A. S. Owens
Of the steamship Minnewaska was served
on Capt. Hopkins yesterday The captain
acknowledged service and also admitted
the contract under which Mr.. Owens was
serving as the vessels first officer when
his discharge was ordered by Mai Wilson
of the quartermaster's department No bond
was demanded.
The idea is TO make the libel the means
OF bringing about an investigation which
will establish Mai. Wilson's authority or
lack Of authority to act as he did. Tho
case is 10 be laid before the British consul
the former first officer being a British sub
ject.
From the libel 1t appears that Mr.
owens was employed on July q, as first
officer at STA per month, for voyage from
New York to such ports In any part of the
world a the master might direct, and back
70 the final port Of discharge in the United
States, the time not to exceed three

DEATH ENDED HIS VOYAGE.
PRIVATE PYE TAKEN FROM THE
MINNEWAsKA DYING.

Lifted From the Transport to the
McCuuIey on the Sea Bouy and
Died Half an Hour Later As the
Tug Was Leaving Quarantine.

He Went on the Minnewaska From
Illness Contracted In Camp at
MacOn-xnew He Was Ill, But De-
termined to GOETHE Young Sol

Private Thomas o. Pye Company z,
Third United States Volunteers, who sail
ed on the Minnewaska at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, was taken from the trans
port off the sea buoy by the tug w. r.
McCauley in a dying condition and half
an hour later was dead.
The soldier was a sick man when he
came to Savannah. He had been suffer
ing from malaria in camp at Macon. He
braved the disease, though, determined 10
do his duty as a soldier. His condition
was apparent to the regimental surgeon
when he went on board the transport, but
1t was thought that the sea voyage would
restore him TO health. The night on the
transport, the fatigue of the march from
camp and the excitement of the depart
ure told on his strength, and it was ap-
parent that he would never reach the
end of the voyage.
Col. Ray saw the soldiers condition,
and as the tug was about to cast loose
he asked the captain to bring the man
back to the city. There was some ques-
ton as to his right to do so on account
of quarantine regula tons, but when told
that the man was in a dying condition.
the captain at once consented and hove
the tug alongside.
The sick man was lifted from the big
transport on a stretcher. Or, Van Mar
ter, who was on board the tug with Mr.
f. Lloyd Owens, saw that the man could
live but a short time. Everything that
could be done for him was done. He
was then unconscious. At quarantine
telephone message was sent to st. Jo-
sephs Inlrmary to have an ambulance
at the wharf to receive the sick man.
Shortly after leaving quarantine. however,
the soldier died. His body was brought
to the city and turned over to Under

and he at once communicated with the
young soldiers relatives.
Private Pye was apparently between q
and 80 years of age and was a fine specl-
men of physical manhood. He enlisted
from Fitzgerald, where he has relatives.
kilograms announcing his death were sent
to his brother, Javan Pye, at Ooilla, and
TO Morgan Pye, of Evansville, Hampton
county, South Carolina. His death was
due to a general breaking down from the
effects of malaria. In a note to the Morn
ing News from Rev. d. H. Parker chap
lain of the regiment, handed to the cap
tain of the tug, as the sick man was
lifted from the transport, he said; He
is brave, conscientious, good man. Let
Savannah do graciously by him for his
countrys sake"

afternoon. II was given out that she
would sail at an earlier hour, because Col.
Ray desired that all of his men should be
on hand. 1t was merely precautionary to
keep the men from staying from the YES
sell
Maj Willis was on hand at the wharf
yesterday morning at 4 o'clock and hard
ly left it until the transport sailed He
was worn out, but happy over the con-
summation of his work. Inside of a week
he had sailed three transports, with sat
isfaction to every one. If the war had
continued, the experience of the past sew
en- days would unquestionably have
led to extensive movements of
troops through this port. Savannah

Col. Ray stood outside the pilot house as
the transport started on her voyage. Lieut..
Col. Reeves was at the stern of the ship.

nected with the regiment was on the

EwING's MURDERER CAPTURED.

Tallahassee.
Through Chief of Police McDermott,
Henry Rush, a negro who murdered Lula
Smith at Ewing, Ga, some time ago, was
arrested at Tallahassee, and after being
brought to Savannah to be delivered to the
authorities at Ewing.
Chief McDermot was called into the case
by Mr. J. A. Ewing, a turpentine opera
tor, at whose place the murdered woman
had been a domestic for years. 1t seems
Rush fell in love with her and went to the
house quite frequently. Finally he made
some proposal which the woman refused!
To even matters up he called her into the
yard one evening, osteusiby for a con>
versation but for the purpose of killing
her, as he showed later One shot did the
work, and after firing il he fled. When
captured later and lodged in Jail, however,
he escaped, and it was for the purpose of
capturing him that Mr.. Ewing placed the
case with Chief McDermott.
Circulars with Rush's picture were sent
to nearly all the sheriffs and other officers
in Georgia and Florida. 1t was supposed
Rush would hang around turpentine
farms, and the officers were asked to
watch these places. The first intimation
of the negro's whereabouts came from

man wanted, and If not, to keep track of
him Snd trace Rush. The reply was

in jail and admitted his identity.
Mr.. Ewing offered 500 reward for the
capture and delivery of the negro, so that
the officers interested will be paid for
their trouble. Mr.. Ewing was telephoned

FEEDING THE SOLDIERS.

The Beef For the Third Regiment
Furnished on Short Notice.
When it became known that the beef
brought from New York on the transport
steamship Mnnewaska had been con-
demned, the quartermaster department

their customers and could not take the
contract.

beef to the transport
1t was a big undertaking, but Logan
never fails in his endeavors, whether il is
to supply a small family with a lucious
steak or furnish meat enough to feed an
army.
