CASE SOON TO BE HEARD.
Dispositions of the Prize Crew Taken

Dispositions of the Prize Crew Taken
to lie Held us Evidence.
The preliminary work of the prize com
missioners in the case of the British
steamship Adula has been completed and
the case Is now practically ready for the
co3rt.
Lieut.. Anderson sent some of the menu
bers of his prize crew to Key West yester-
day, and others will so this morning. The
dispositions OF members of the prize crew
We're taken before they went away so that
they may be used in court without the ne
cessity of summoning the men to return.
IL is probable that an answer to the libel
viii be filed at once, and that Judge Speer
VIII be here within a few days to take the
case up. Officers of the court seem to
think that a strong case will be made out
against the Adula, and that she win be
sold. Representa- ives of the owners believe
on the other hand that they can make a
strong showing and the fight will be an
Interesting one.
The prize commissioners and district at
toney get compensation in these cases
only where the prize Is finally seized and
ordered sold by the court. Their fees are
allotted by the court in accordance with
the value OF the prize and the services
rendered, but cannot exceed $1,000 a wear
each The government pays all expenses
in such cases, however, whether the prize
Is sold or not

A Dead Man Can't, But "a Live Man
NAV.

A dead man can't buy clothes, shoes,
food for his children. give them an educa-
ton, nor provide necessaries or comforts
for his widow. It's absurd to make such
a statement isn't it? Yet a great many
peple live as If dead man could do these
things. They spin the web of -Sher lives
as If the thread were never to be broken
They live as if they were never to die
Practically, the only use for a dead man
is as a memory, an example, or perhaps
a warning. The widow may turn to the
washtub or counter, the girls to the fac
tory. the boys to the street. The dead man
can't prevent it. But a live man may
make provision against the effect of death
so far as it concerns the material welfare
OF his family. He need not be rich in
money to do so; nor have wealth in lands
or goods. A small sum set aside from his
salary each year would keep his family
from want many years after his death
AND without extra premium, a business
man, clerk, engineer, pilot, soldier or DO
hceman may even provide an income for
his wife as long as she outlives him-un-
I'll her death. How? Write for a speci-

In lumber by coastwise sailing vessels was

There are five schooners now loading
and a very few chartered to come here
for cargoes.
A temporary period of dullness and of
lower prices Is stated to have set in with
the lumber industry. For the greater
part OF the first six months of the year

there mas been manifest a tendency the
otner way. Prices are reported to have
cropped 20 to rs cents a thousand, and
orders nave not been so plentiful. The
smal mills in the country feel the effect
OF TINS more than the large ones, which
were fairly well supplied with business

lice barracks posing on one side as an
escaped convict from Tennessee and on
the other as a deserter from the United
states army. With him it now seems to
be a case Of yer pays yer money and
takes yer choice"
Grant looks like an idiot and gives a
corresponding account Of his meanderings.
According to his story he has twice broken
prison doors at Newport. Tennessee, and
also got away from Company K, Second
regiment, North Carolina Volunteers. He
says he enlisted with the company at
Raleigh, after having escaped six
months sentence for some offense when
sent up. When In the army, however.
he says he wrote to the prison authorities
saying II they desired they might send
for him. This he says they did, but he
again left and was on his way to Jack
sonville when picked up by one of the
North Carolinians now at Tybee who
recognized him.
The man seems Indifferent as to what
Is done with him. With modest gallantry,
however, he saye he Is partial to the army
and would prefer to go into it again. His
disposition will probably rest with the Off
GERS of the company at Tybee.
