A New FOu-Mast Rig.

Coasting vessel experts will ques-
ton the judgment of Capt. c. A. Davis,
who is having a big four-masted
schooner built by the Holmes Ship
building Company, at West Mystic,
Conn, in consequence of his decision
to rig this vessel with stump masts
and no tOpmasts, intending to have
the lower spars sufficiently long to
be able to spread about the same
amount of sail that would be carried
if she had topmasts, the same as all
other four-masters. In figuring this
new feature out, Capt. Davis con-
tends that he does away with the ex
pense of four spars, rigging and iron
work attached. and that putting all
his canvas into the lower sails. he
can reduce it much easier by reefing
than in taking in gaff-topsails and
staysails. Capt. Davis is no novice
in the business, as he is the managing
owner and designer of the five-master
Gov. Ames, the four-master Benjamin
f. Poole. and the new three-master
Hope Sherwood. His mariner friends
have already nicknamed this vessel
the "bald-headed" schooner.-Marine

Runs Through Cedar Hammock,
Happy Retreat and Bethesda.
The people living on the Bethesda
road. which embraces the neighbour
hoods known as Cedar Hammock, Hap
py Retreat and Bethesda. have petit
ton before the County Commissioners
asking that the old highway be hard
ened with gravel and otherwise i'm
proved.
This road was built under the direc-
ton of Rev. George Whitefield about
1740, and he refers to it in his first re-
port on his work at Bethesda, printed
in London in 1872 a wei preserved copy
of which is among the recent additions
to Mr. Wymberly J. De Renne's col
lections in his library at "Wormsloe
Fallen trees and want of attention
have doubtless somewhat changed the
location of the old roadway in places
as it now winds in and out among the
pine trees. The remains of bridges and
causeways across the coveS and creeks
between Bethesda and Beaulieu indi-
cate that the road once extended to
the latter place. The Bethesda road
was the first road built in the colony,
and though not worked as a public
road for many years it is without doubt
a part of the road system of the
county.

try a dozen plans, if they offer them
selves.
In May a little over thirty days off,
King O'Keefe will be officially declared
dead, and the will he is alleged to
have left will be opened and read. Its
contents can only be guessed at.
Whether the Savannahian specified
this his property should go to his wife
and daughter in Savannah, or to 9TH
ers in the Carolines, or at Hong Kong,
will not be known until the officials at
zap break the seal of the envelope
that is supposed to contain the will.
This seal has never been broken be-
cause it is the German law THAT a
man whose disappearance is not ac-
counted for by the recovery of his
body, is not dead until two years have
elapsed. O'Keefe is supposed to have
gone down with his ship in a Chinese
typhoon in May 1901 and upon the sec
ond anniversary of the storm his af-
fairs will be legally turned over to
someone.
Going from Hong Kong to zap Mr..
Hartridge Will have to cross the same
water in which King O'Keefe perish
ed, that is if he goes at all. The dis
lance is about 800 miles. 1t would
be a hazardous undertaking to attempt
the trip in small boat; particularly
at this season of the year when ty-
phoons are frequent. But the stake for
which Mr.. Hartridge is playing is a
big one, and it is said that he is max
ing a good bet even if he loses.
Those who are now planning to get
Mr.. Hartridge to the scene of action
refuse to make public their plans, but
it seems certain that an unusual step
of some sort will have to be taken if
Mr.. Hartridge's purpose is accomplish
ed. Mr.. NJ. A. O'Byrne of O'Connor,
O'Byrne az Hartridge, who represent
Mrs. O'Keefe and daughter, said yes
terday that there is nothing to give to
the public.

was alighting from the train at her
destination, the conductor signalled the
engineer "all aboard" Her child was
grabbed from her arms by the porter,
she says, and the conductor forced her
from the train. After the porter had
hurriedly placed the child upon the
ground, he was forced to jump over it,
in order to run and catch the outgoing
train. alleges the complainant.
She says that she was thrown forci-
bly, to the ground and sustained num-
erous injuries, which impair her ca
pacity as a laundress. at which work
she has heretofore earned SIS a month.

bill, and is, she claimed entitled to
punitive damages, since the defendant
company was grossly negligent: all of
which amounts to no less than 81, 539. "a.
