PLEASANTS WITH o. S. S. co.
He VIII he Connected Win 1t in
Some Capncity.


I'll attic Manager w. H. Peasants of
the Seaboard Air Line will be connect
ed with the Ocean Steamship Company
again. For some time there has been
report that Mr. Peasants would re-
sumo service with the company, and
this report was verified yesterday by a
representative of the Morning News.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Peasants will be vice president
and general manager. He was traffic
manager of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany until some months ago, when he
was made traffic manager of the Sea-
board. It is scarcely likely that he
would return to the same position that
he left. The changed conditions in the
company. too, render it likely that he
would be appointed vice president and
general manager
Some time ago there was a rumor
that Mr.. Peasants would become pres
ident of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany. This was denied by both Mr.
Peasants and Maj. J. F. Hanson,
president of the company. 1t was
true that the plans did not contem-
plate the elevation of Mr.. Peasants
to the presidency, but it is now de-
clared that he viii be with the com
pany in some capacity, and it seems
that this will be as vice president and
general manager.

NeErG women Quarrel About n Man
and One Is Carved by the other.
Peter Brown, a negro employed on
the steamer Two States was arrested
yesterday on the charge of securing
money under false pretenses. The ar
rest was made by Patrolman McAlpin
at the request of the Waterman of the
boat. Brown and another man day be-
fore yesterday each gave the watch
man a sum of money to keep for them
and each knew the amount that the
other had deposited.
Brown went to the Waterman and
not only got his own money but said
that he had been sent by the other
men to get his also. The Waterman
came across" but when the second
man showed UP later and denied
Browns authority to collect for him the
Waterman summoned a policeman and
had Brown arrested.
E. D. Armstrong, white, was arrested
by Detective j. ]. Murphy who
charges him with the theft of pair of
trousers and a pair of shoes from E. L.

TRADE FOR SIX MONTHS.
increases in Cotton md Naval stores
and Lumber.

Savannahs trade for the six months
ending with June was satisfactory
from every standpoint. The receipts of
cotton show an Improvement being L.
1865. against 1,O59,S71 last season to
this time
The increased receipts are due to the
reported larger yield in, Georgia this
season. and also to the improved ia
cilities of the port and it's ability to
draw cotton this way. Prices have
been reasonably well maintained. 1T
is reported that there is still consider
able cotton held in the interior, but
holders are not disposed to sell 1t at
concessions, hence little trading is be-
ing done at the moment.
In the naval stores markets trade
during the first six months of the fs-
cal year has been good. The season is
just fairly opening up. The receipts
so far have been 102497 spirits and
S52,7S5 resins, and the exports S6.365
spirits and 266, 04S resins The stock
of spirits yesterday was 16 1872. against
1876 last year, and the stock of ros-
ms S6,737, against 117,740 last year.
Lumber has been moving out at lib
eral rate. and the indications are that
the year will find the total running
up to, if not exceeding, those for last
wear

REVENUE TAXES OFF.
savannnh's Use of Stamps Returns to
the Old Basis.


War revenues are no longer paid to
the government. Yesterday the war
revenues ceased, and the special taxes
that We're imposed because of the Span
ish war have been withdrawn.
The withdrawal of the special taxes
means that Savannahians will save a
great deal annually When the special
taxes were imposed upon so many ar
ticles the governments revenues from
Atlanta amounted to about 100000 a
year. This good thing" lasted for
three years. Stamps and special
licenses ran the amount up so high.
A year ago there was a decided re-
duction made. Checks, promissory
notes and some other documents were
not required to bear stamps. This re-
suited in bringing receipts down from
about $150,000 a year to about $4,000
Receipts are now to sink to their old
level. They will be just about what
they were prior to the Spanish war.
That is, they will be about $4,000 a
year. OF this amount. about 100000
is paid in by the breweries. Latterlv
there has been more home brew con-
sumed in Savannah, so that the de.
mands for stamps have increased. One
dollar a barrel will be the tax upon
beer.
Mr.. II. i. Wilson is the deputy col
lector of internal revenue. He still
sells the stamps that are used by deal
.ers, but the demand that was so gen
eraI a little more than a year ago has
greatly decreased

MAD DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Made by ColOred Prisoner Being
Taken to Waycross by Detective
MILL

Made by Colored Prisoner Being
Taken TO WaycrOss by Detective
Wall.
Detective Frank Wan, who returned
to Savannah early yesterday morning,
had a most exciting time Monday with
a negro, Tom Ponder, an escaped con-
Wet that he was taking back to Way
cross. Ponder seemed to be in mortal
fear of returning to the camp and af-
ter vainly Offering the detective SIS for
his release, asked that he be killed
rather than again be taken to the place
he dreaded.
While between Mcintosh and Wal
thourville, the prisoner made a dash
for the car door and would have gone
through it to either liberty or death
had not Wall been close behind him,
ard caught him as he crashed into the
door, smashing the glass and cutting
himself severely, but not getting
through. The detective prevented any
further breaks on Ponders part by
making him fastlto his own person. He
nnally got him to the Waycross camp.
collected the $50 reward that had been
offered for him and returned to Savan-
nah.

SUIT AGAINST a. C. l..
It's First Was One for Damages
Amounting to $4,000.

Its First Was One for Damages
Amounting to $4,000.
Suit for $4,000 was entered yester-
day in the City Court against the
Atlantic Coast Line. 1t was the first
filed in Savannah against that COM
pany. Had it been filed the day be-
fore, it would not have been filed
against the Coast Line, but against
the Savannah, Florida and Western
The plaintiffs are Michalowsky &
Bro, fish dealers of Savannah, who,
through their attorney, S. L. Lazaron,
Esq, ask for damages to repay them
for the loss they sustained through
the non-delivery of freight to their
agent at Whitehall, S. C. This was
on May 5, 1902. The plaintiffs claim
that they prepaid the freight charges,
$3.71, on the shipment, which was of
netting and other tackle for catching
sturgeon. The agent of the company
would not make the delivery, however,
claiming that the freight had not been
prepaid.
This resulted, the plaintiffs declared,
in the failure of their fishermen, EN-
ployed at So a day, with promise
of a share of profits, to catch stur-
geons and secure sturgeon roe. This
it is declared, is a very profitable bust
mss at that especial season of the year
and hence suit against the company
was brought.

other Prize Winners Were Sergt.
Mcmahon and Private Flood.
The picnic and prize drill of the
Irish Jasper Greens al Tybee yester-
day was distinct success. The picnic
and other social features were greatly
enjoyed by the Greens and their many
friends who attended, and the drill
proved that the company is we'll in
structed in the manual of arms.
The several trains during the day
carried large crowds to the island. The
drill began at o'clock, being held ia
Bohan's pavilion. Twenty of the mem
bers of the company constituted the
drill team that lined up. for the con-
test.
Lieut.. J. f. Mccarthy and Lieut. NJ.
]. O'Leary alternated in giving the
commands, which were executed with
snap and precision by the Greens. Capt.
CruikShank, Lieut. Gilmer and Lieut..
Bunker of the garrison at Fort ScreVen
were the judges of the event, and they
watched for errors with as great strict
ness as was shown upon the occasion
of the regimental prize drill in the
Guards Hall, when the regimental
medal was won by Private w. ]. Flood,
who proved one of the prize winners
of the Greens company contest
Those who constituted the drill team,
named in the order in which they made
errors and were thrown out, were Stat
ford, Kenny, Hayes, Mccarthy, Bren-
nan, Hogan, Roman, Cosgrove, Butti-
mer, Hohenstein, Hayes, Root, O'Leary,
Kavanaugh, Bell, Sullivan, Burch, Da-
ley, Flood, Mcmahon and Doyle.
First Sergeant Doyle, being the last
left standing, was the winner of the
hrst prize, the company's bronze med
al and S. in gold. The second prize
was won by Sergt. Mcmahon and was
IS in gold. The third prize fell to
Private Flood, being $3.50 in gold 1t
was close work among the three prize
winners, and it was a guess as to
which would win the first prize.
After the applause that greeted Sergt
Doyle had died away, Capt. Cruik-
shank presented the prizes in a
graceful speech. That closed the drill,
and the soldiers put up their pieces.
Capt. P. F. Gleason entertained the
officers at supper upon the conclusion
of the drill.

CAROLINA CONVICT CAUGHT.
Detective Davis Arrested james Dos
ter and Gets $50 Reward


James Doster. alias Elliott Johnson,
colored, an escaped convict from Co
lumbia, S. c., was captured yesterday
by Detective Nose Davis. who by so
doing secures $50, the reward offered
by the Carolina authorities for Dos
ters arrest.
The negro, who has been working at
the gas works since October. denies
that he is the man wanted, but his de-
scription so closely agrees with that
of the escaped convict that there is
no doubt he is the man. One of the
principal marks of Identification is a
double thumb. Strange 10 say it was
by similar malformation that Detec-
tive Davis was enabled to identify and
arrest another man some time ago.
Doster, who is wanted for house
breaking and larceny, was sent up in
1898, for a three-year term, but es-
capped within a short time and remain
ed at large until 1899. He served
little over two years and then escap-
ed again, Aug. 70, 1901, and remained
at large until arrested by Detective
Davis.

THROUGH STREETS HALF CLAD

HardeeViIIe. =. Glad Been suffer
ing From OverinduIgence in Drink.
Dressed only in night-shirt and
trousers and with his feet torn and
bleeding. John Daily rushed into the
City Dispensary at ! o'clock yesterday
and almost in the same breath asked
for protection and a glass of beer. He
was followed by a crowd of children
attracted by his unusual appearance
and by a number of men, the latter
bent on his capture.
Daily had escaped from st. Joseph's
Hospital, where he has been for some
time suffering from the effects of an
over indulgence in alcoholic drinks. To
make his escape he had jumped from
the second. story balcony of the new
hospital building to the yard below, a
distance of more than thirty feet. That
he was not killed is a mystery where
as only his feet were bruised and cut.
Escaped From His Attendant.
The man made his escape while his
attendant was on the veranda from
which the leap was made but not near
enough to stop him. Fortunately for
Daily, his jump took him from the
west end of the pospital and he landed
in the yard. which is sandy Had he
landed on the sidewalk, which he
would have done had he jumped from
any other part of the building, he
would probably have been seriously
hurt.
His appearance in the dispensary,
where Mr. e. j. Keiffer, Jr., was ON
duty. was a decided surprise to him,
and no less of surprise was Days
strange request for a glass of beer,
which he demanded instantly, and then
to be protected from his enemies. Mr..
Keiffer told him he had no beer, but
that he would give him a glass of
water, but by this time the men who
had been following the crazed fugitive
appeared on the scene and kept DAILY
from escaping, while Mr.. Keiffer tel
ephoned the barracks and notified the
police officers of his strange visitor.
Captured by Police.
The hospital authorities had also tel
ephoned the news of the mans escape
to the barracks and 50 he having been
located Patrolman Ungar with the Red
Maria went to the dispensary and took
DAILY back to the hospital. He didn't
DO it without a tussle. though, for
DAILY had his mind set on beer and
freedom. possibly they We're synony-
nous in his thoughts, and resisted the
efforts of Ungar to get him in the wa
gon and back to the hospital.
DAILY was quiet last night and had
nothing to say about his escapade. He
is a resident of Vaudeville, S. c.,
where he is interested in brick maxi
ing, but has been in the hospital for
few DAYS
