MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and shipping.

Capt. w. T. Gibson stated yester-
day that it is his intention to put the
steamboat Harry G. Day, which has
Just returned from the St. Johns riv-
err, on the run between Savannah ana
Augusta. The Day will take the place
OF other steamers. 1t rs not the inten-
ton of the Southern Transportation
Company to put on any extra boats,
for their object is to carry their freight
with the fewest boats possible. Speak
ing of the outlook for steamboat bus
mess Capt. Gibson seems pleased, and
has no doubt but the next few months
will find it decidedly increased.
The coming of another steamship
line, and this time to carry lumber al
most exclusively at first, is a stroke at
sail craft which is probably as severe
as any the schooner has had to con-
tend with during its many trials for
superiority on the sea. The competition
it has had heretofore has been by
steamships that carried only part car
go of lumber, but with full cargoes the
effect may be beyond what vessel own
ers had reason to expect. While the
movement of lumber during the past
month has continued fair, ii is by no
means such as will permit of the en-
trance of a steamship line without Sc
riously affecting the trade of schoon-
ers. 1t is possible in view of the com,
petition that may be looked for among
the various carriers that rates will be
slashed, though this has not, of course,
been begun yet. The sailing vessel is
not apt to come out last in three
cornered scuffie for lumber freight,
however, judging from it's many for
mer vicissitudes and victories. AS old
seamen have often said, the sailing
vessel is here to stay. 1t is not apt to
get the worst of it in the coming COM
petition.

rIREBUGs IN AUGUSTA SUBURBS.

Augusta Herald: Somebody was try
ing to flourish the fire brand in West
End last night, according to the opin-
ion of the fire department. About 8
O'Clock the front porch of a house on
the corner of futile street and the
canal occupied by negroes, was found
to be in flames by the occupants. They
have no idea how the fire originated,
and they say they believe it was started
by some party from the outside with
the mention of burning the house. They
tore away the steps and a part of the
flooring of the porch and put the fire
out with buckets without turning in the
alarm. On examination it was found
that the porch and door had been soak
ed in kerosene oil. Shortly after the
first attempt some one had again pour
ed oil promiscuously about the house
and applied a second match The
flames were seen by the neighbors be-
fore they had gained much Roadway.
and for a second time the fire was ex-
tinguished. The occupants of the
house say this time they heard some
one in the yard and heard the striking
of a match. but paid no particular at
tention to it, thinking 1t was some one
passing through.

COTTON BLOCKED IN ATHENS.

Athens Banner: The cotton men of
Athens are pretty thoroughly stirred
up over the treatment they have re-
ceived this season at the hands of the
railroads. The kicks are many and the
lamentations are loud. The majority
are blaming the railroads severely for
what they are satisfied is a piece of
unwarranted negligence. There are now
blocked in Athens several thousand
bales of cotton that should have been
shipped, but which cannot be moved
on account of the inferior facilities af
forded by the railroads. This is a SER
ious drawback to business, and it's eff
feet is being felt. Buyers are not anx-
ious to purchase on account of the in
ability of the railroads to move it after
it is bought. The number of cars is
totolly inadequate. in fact ridicuously
few. Then the crew is not sufficient to
see to the handling of the cotton as ex-
peditiously as possible. There seems
to have been no effort to relieve the
situation and representations as to the
predicament have been ignored.

TO WORK CRIMINAL INSANE.

Atlanta Journal: A solution of the
problem which the state sanitarium, in
its present overcrowded condition pre-
sents, is suggested to-day by Senator
John T. Allen of the Twentieth Sena-
torial district, in which the asylum is
located, and he will introduce during
the present session of the Legislature
a bill seeking to embody his idea into
law. Senator Aliens suggestion is.
simply stated. that the criminally in
sane should be sent to the prison farm,
and there made to work like other con-
victs. In the report which the truss
tees of the asylum have just issued,
complaint is made that the criminally
insane class has increased in a start
ling ratio recently, and that they, the
trustees, are compelled to keep these
with the other insane. Senator Allen
believes that not only will his plan Of
removing this class to the prison
farm relieve the perplexing condi-
tion which now obtains at the asylum,
but will operate to decrease the num-
Der of pleas of insanity now entered
in the courts.

SAND STORM
Prevails Over Southern Califor-
mia Doing Great Damage.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 2S--sA wind
storm of unusual force and destruc-
ton has ragged all over the southern
part of California. The storm is what
is locally known as Santa Ana" and
carries with it fine dust from the desert
to the east that fills the air and OBJ
scures the vision at distances more
than a few hundred yards. Reports
from surrounding towns report much
damage wrought by the wind to or
angeS and some damage to small build
ings. Railroad traffic is delayed and in
some instances entirely obstructed. The
storm is heaviest in the vicinity of Col
ton and Pomona.
Santa Ana. Dec. 2s.-This section of
California was visited by the most de-
structive wind and snow storm ever
known. The high pressure of atmos-
phere prevalent for several days cul-
minated in a high wind with a velocity
of over 40 miles an hour. With the
wind came pillars of sand which, in
this city blew up the streets and to the
height of 20 and 80 feet, completely COW
cred everything in sight. Windows and
plate glass were broken, outbuildingS
carried away and everything not sub
stantially fastened was hoisted in the
air.
Large walnut and other trees that
have withstood storms for years, were
blown down and several houses were
badly damaged
on the streets that traffic was practical
ly suspended all day, only those hav-
ing urgent business venturing out All
trains were from one to two hours late
The electric lights of the city are all
out and telephone and telegraphic ser
vice is badly crippled
The orange crop has been virtually
blown away; in some places whole or
chards have been devastated, the extent
of damage being known only after the
wind subsidies The damage to orange
growers and others will run into the
thousands.
San Bernardino, Cal, Dec. 2S.-The
heaviest wind storm that has ever been
experienced in this vicinity has been
raging here The air was so full OF
sand that 1t was impossibfe to see from
one block to another. Reports state
that enorn Gus damage has bsen done
The roof on the storage house OF e. z.
Katz was blown off and carried for
over 100 feet. William Mee's blacksmith
shop was completely wrecked, breaking
down the wires and shutting off the
electric current in the northern part of
town. The roof of the Southern Cali
fornia Ice company's house, just COM
pleted, was also taken off. Many barns
and several houses in the course of con-
Struction were blown down.
