STEAMER PAWNEE
 BURNED AT SEA Had a Cargo of Lumber from Brunswick to Boston. THE CREW WAS RESCUED George w. Clyde Picked Up Thirty Four Men-The Ship Caught Fire
 at Night and Was Sighted
 By the Macon.
THE CREW WAS RESCUED

New York, June 27.-The steamer City of Macon, which arrived here today from Sa- vannah, reports that yesterday she passed the burning wreck of the steamer Pawnee, forty miles from Cape Henry.
 The Pawnee, in command of Captain Ingram, left Brunswick on Friday and Charleston on Saturday for Boston, laden with lumber and general cargo. She car ried a crew of 34 men, but would have no passengers.
 The vessel was valued at $lOOOOo, fully insured.
 Captain Savage of the City of Macon said two or three hours earlier in the morning he passed the Cromwell liner Knicker booker, bound for New Orleans, and also another southbound Clyde liner, whose name te was unable to make out. N
 As there was no fog and the smoke of the burning steamer was blown far out to sea, Captain Savage thinks it possible that the crew were picked up by one or the other of the southbound steamships.
 The City of Macon went close to the Pawnee. Her stern lights were burning indicating that the fire started in the night There was a quiet sea on all the time.

There was a sup per given at the colored Odd Fellows hall on Fifth street last night, and the affair wound up similar to the ball game at Lib erty Park. Things went along nicely until about 10:9O o'clock, when dispute arose between Joe MoGhee and Bob Penney about a woman named Jessie Johnson; words passed between the men, when sud- denly McGhee pulled his gun and fired, shooting Fennoy through the abdomen.
 Friends of the men interfered and Me Ghee turned his gun on them and shot Jim Richardson in the leg and Lem Whitesldes in the hip. After thts he made his way 10 the door and made his escape with a lew or them following hiHn. but to no effect Mc- Ghee has 0 very unsevoYy reputation m this place, having shot some two or three men before, but heretofore he has been abte to get out of hks troubles very easily 1t IS stated that if he is caught this time matters will go hayd with him.

There will be no difficulty. in disposing of this additional stock, as nearly all of it has all ready been taken by citizens of Birming- ham. Besides this, officers and directors were elected for the following year.
 As was stated in the meeting last night, Birmingham started out to have sl0,OOo auditorium, and will wind up with one costing something like $45, ,000..

Clyde line, arrived in this port at Il o'clock 'iis morning With Captain A. D. Ingram dIio crew or the steamer Pawnee on board The Clyde had picked them up from small boats very soon after they had abandoned the1r boat, the Pawnee, which was destroy- ed by fire Sunday night.
 The captain of the Pawnee said every ef- fort was made to save her, and the pumr- were set to work and threw two streams of water upon the flames for several minIrtes before he gave the order for the boats to be lowered and the ship abandoned. While the crew was manning the small boats captain Ingram rushed into his cabin for some valuables which he hoped to save. When he reached the ships side the boat mad drifted out of reach and about that tune the smoke shifted so as to envelop that side Of the vessel, and the captain or dered the crew to row the boat to wind ward. This they did, but in the meantime the wind shifted again, the heat and smoke forcing the crew to pull away without their captain. There were three vain efforts of this kind made the boat being rowed to first one side of the vessel and then to the other in attempts to reach the captain. Finally Captain Ingram leaped into the water and swan 200 feet or more toward the boat. One of the crew held an oar out to him and pulled him in completely ex- hausted and almost unconscious. In the meantime the George w. Clyde had sighted the Pawnee in flames and bore down upon her in time to pick up the captain and crew within a few minutes.
 Captain Ingram says the Pawnee had a full cargo, principally lumber. There was also a quantity of cotton on board. She cleared from Brunswick last Friday.
 The Pawnees crew consisted of twenty one men, with the following officers: Chief, B. MacBeth; second officer, Jos. Parker; chief engineer, Clayton Platt and assistant engineer, John Ego. All are well.

 MI. VanHooso's Proposftfon
 There were 114 shares of stock represent ed in person and by proxy at the meeting last night, 1093s of which voted for MT. van Hoose's resolution to increase the capital stock to s45 900. In presenting his resolution to the meeting MT. VanHoose stated that the architect estimated that the building as it now stands. which has cost about $17,oOO, would require about s96,0OO or s27,Ooo if 1t were built at the present prices Of lapor and material He argued that the property was all the time increasing in value ana was consequently beneiting the stock to just that extent.
 On motion of T. H. Motion, a committee consisting of J. A. VanHoose, F. Y. Ander- son and H. B. Gray was appointed to se- lect the directors for the ensuing year. R. N Rhodes moved that this committee be instructed to report their own names back among the nine directors they selected, which was carried. The following were the directors appoint | ed, and they were unanimously adopted by the meeting:
 T. H. Motion, R. N. Rhodes, w. J. Mill ner, M " Joseph, B. Steiner, o. Chalifoux, | J. A. VanHoose, F. Y. Anderson and H. B. | Gray.
 | The old board consisted of T. H. Motion, R. N Rhodes, w. J. Milner, M V. Joseph, | B, Steiner, O. Chalifoux, B. F. Roden, w. l A. Walker and T. L. McGowan. It will be l noticed that the first six names on each l list are the same.
 T. H. Motion at first objected to being | one of the directors, as he was the rep l resentative of Dr. Smith, who had been
 opposed to increasing the stock to S45,OOO' | and didn't want to be put in false light. l He was urged to stay in, however, and l resign later if he cared to, in case there
 was ever any conflict. This he decided to do. The meeting was unanimous in re- questing MT. Molton to accept this posi- | tion and commended the valuable work
 he had already done. | Re-Elected old Officers After the meeting adjourned the directors
 were called together and the following | officers elected, who are, by the way, the | same as at present:
 l J. A. VanHoose, president.
 F. Y. Anderson, vice president.
 J. B. McClary, secretary.
 H. B. Gray. treasurer.
 Their unanimous reelection was big
 compliment to the splendid work these
 officers have already done.
