age being his intended victim. Her strur
gies frightened him away before he had
succeeded in accomplishing his purpose

HAMMOND HEARING CONTINUED.
Attorneys of Creditors Endeavorine
to Prevent His Discharge.

The first meeting of the creditors of r.
w. Hammond, bankrupt, of Josselyn,
Liberty county, was held at the office of
Judge A. II. MacDonell. referee in bank
ruptcy, yesterday. At the hearing the
bankrupt was represented by Mr.. Isaac
Beckett and the creditors by Messrs Will
son & Rogers and George w. Beckett.
The examination was conducted by Mr.
H. E. Wilson, who rigidly cross-exam-
ined Hammond as to his business deal
ings and the manner in which he had
lost his property In November, 1892
Hammond made a return of his property
to Dun's Mercantile Agency, in which he
claimed net assets amounting to some
thing over $4,000. He confessed on the
stand that he was at that time nsolvent,
but said he had made the showing in good
faith and in the belief that it was true He
had found out that he was insolvent at
the time of the return since he had made
1t, but was unable to account for the seri-
Gus and striking errors in his calculations
Mr.. Hammond's liabilities now amount TO
about $4,000, with practically no assets
Those that he schedules in his return he
states himself to be uncollectable and Of
no value. The effort is being made by
the attorneys of the creditors to show that
-Hi = AioAAliiiSilNs aAi WHOSE name the DuSl-
ness formerly conducted by him is now
being run. is in fact only his agent. and
that this business should also have been
returned among his assets. This is val
ued at $4,000 or more. but is morteaged
for its full value TO the Savannah Naval
stores Company
At the meeting Mr., Marvin O'Neil was
appointed trustee for the creditors 70
take charge of Hammond's assets and his
bond was fixed at $3.50. AS vet there have
been no assets discovered and the trus
tees position gives every promise of being
an easy one. Al the conclusion of the
bankrupts testimony the referee adj
Journed the meeting until y m.
of Tuesday, March q. when the hearing
VIII be continued. and it is expected fur
ther testimony on the part of the creditors
introduced. The attorneys are making a
hard fight to prevent Hammond receiving
a discharge, evidently thinking and deter
mined to prove that he has other assets
which he has not disclosed. and that are
not included in the schedule attached 10
his petition.

Primrose & DOckstader, the "White

The saving by blase theater-goers that
"all minstrels seem alike to me-" it is
claimed will be refuted when Primrose &
Dockstader's American minstrels are seen
here tomorrow night. No matter what
the times may be, whether adverse or
prosperous, new life is needed at times,
and these comedians, keeping pace with the
times, have elected the elixir of Minstrel
sy into their entertainment, which in turn
is relieving that tired feeling" from peo-
Die TO which the company is this season
playing. OF novel surprises there are said
to be an abundance, of vocal numbers
plenty and of comedian, eccentricities and
hiIarlty an abundant opportunity for many
a hearty, healthy laugh.
"The White Slave" BARLEY Campbell $
popular drama of life in the Sunny South,
will be presented here Thursday night,
with entirely new scenery, mechanical ana
electrical effects and a company Including
some of the foremost players on the Amer
lean stage. IL is safe TO assert that no
American drama has enjoyed the Tong and
EnCpnSEfUl
of this play. Originally produced In New
York in 1882 il has been constantly before
the public since having been played in
this country and Great Britain over ten
thousand times. Several stage pictures Of
a thrilling nature are presented, including
an exterior view of the steamer Belle
Creole ron the Mississippi river, during an
electrical rainstorm; Red Devil Island, and
the plantation at Osceola. The tour is
under the personal direction of The Cald-
well-Campbell amusement company.
The romantic drama, "Heartsease,'
which Henry Miller will present Friday
and Saturday of this week, was received
with such favor during its first run OF over
100 nights at the Garden Theater, New
York. that nightly. after the scene at the
close of the third act, Mr., Miller was oblig-
ed TO 70 before the curtain many times IN
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the kindly but insist
ent demands of his audiences. AS Erie
Temple the young composer. robbed of his
opera of which he has no other COPY, he
has stroIled into the lobby of the Covent
Garden Theater to listen to the new work
of some other author to he sung that
| night. As he enters the strains of melody
seem familiar. Having just recovered from
| an illness, he thinks II must be vagary
of his weakened brain. Little by little It
| becomes certain he is hearing the strains
of his own lost work, and when he learns
| that the accredited author is his enemy
| and ri val for the hand of the woman lie
loves, he grasps his enemy by the throat,
! and before all, denouuces him as a thief.
| The skilful manner in which Mr.. Miller
| handles this scene ia said 20 be one of the
most clever that has been seen upon the
| stage for many years, and through all
there is never anything incongruous or
untitled to the refined and cultured sur
| roundings of the situation.

Ashore in a Fog.

Halifax, July 1.-THE Portia, an iron,
schooner-rlgged steamer Of 1872 tons
Register, 22O feet long, 81 feet wide, and
23h feet depth, was wrecked during a
dense fog early last evening on Films
island, off Sambro point about Is
miles to the eastward Of Halifax.
The passengers and crew, III all told,
landed on the island in the ships boats,
and are all comfortably housed there.
AS soon as the people had all been
safely landed, Captain Farrell started
for the mainland with boats crew, and
reached Sambro late last night, whence
he sent the news Of the disaster to Hal
flax by telephone.
Fortunately the weather was moderate
and the sea running was not very heavy,
else the landing of those on board the
steamer could not have been accom-
pllshed without great danger and per-
haps loss Of life. The steamer is already
full Of water and total wreck.
The disaster occurred shortly before
p. m The passengers, of whom there
are 70, are nearly all tourists. The
steamer had large cargo for this port
and st. Johns. The place where she
struck is known as Big Fish shoal, and is
" miles west of the light on Sambro
island
That the disaster was not attended by
more serious consequences was due to
the GOODNESS and good management of
the steamers officers and the readiness
with which their orders were obeyed

Death Of Grand Duke Georue.

ST. Petersburg, July 1.-THE Grand
Duke George, brother of the car, is dead.
Prince George was born in 1871 In the
beginning Of 1891 he accompanied his
elder brother, the then czarowitz now
Car Nicholas, on a tour around the
world as commander of Russian IRON
clad. When in Indian waters Grand
Duke George fell from the maintop of
his ship to the deck and injured his spine.
He appeared at first to be suffering from
fever, but the malady subsequently
proved to be consumption-an affliction
hereditary in the Romanoff family. The
disease was not arrested, and the illus
trious patient became very weak and
greatly emaoiated. The czarowitz was
the late cars favorite son, and it is said
that Alexander HIS fatal illness was
aggravated by the personal solicitude he
displayed about the grand dukes com
fort and health.

Columbia AGAIN a Winner.

New York, July 11.-At last the big
sloop yachts Columbia and Defender
have met in battle royal that has been
satisfactory to all concerned. In a strong
and fairly steady breeze and smooth
water they sailed over course of about
&c miles Saturday and, in covering that
distance the Columbia fairly and
squarely outsailed the Defender by three
minutes 10 seconds, actual time. If CO.
lumbia, after measurement is found to
allow the Defender two minutes. she will
still have beaten her by one minute and
13 seconds. That means that she can
beat her now over a full 30-mile course.
the experts say, by at least two minutes.
corrected time, and that when she Is
tuned up-say by the September races
she will easily beat her five minutes,
which Is all that is required of her. Sat
urday's race was as fine smooth water
test as the yachts may ever expect to
get.
