WASN'T THE MURDERER.

The negro, Oscar Showers or Shivers,
who shot Baggagemaster Thomas j.
Conrad at the Union depot at Macon
Monday morning, was thought
to have captured on board
the southbound Southern due at
board the southbound Southern due at
Macon at 1855 a. m, which was an
hour late. A negro boarded the train
in the yards at Macon and rode in the
blind baggage to Billiards. when he
went into the coach and two negro pas
sengers tried to conceal him with their
coats, but Conductor John A. Edison
located him and pulled him out, though
he thought at the time that he was
only tramp trying to beat his way.
He told Baggagemaster Marion
Baughan, who is an ex-detectiVe of
Macon, of what had happened. The
idea suggested itself at once that the
man arrested might be the murderer.
Baughan then went back and found
that the negro answered the descrip-
ton. He had Conductor Edison to wire
the night dispatcher at Macon so that
the dispatcher could instruct the sher-
iff at Eastman to meet the train and
take charge of the negro. When the
train reached Eastman, the sheriff was
on hand and the negro turned over to
him. When officers from Macon ar
rived it was found the man was not
Shivers. Crowds gathered at Macon
to take the negro from the officers and
lynch him, but they had no prisoner
on their return.

ESCAPED A LYNCHING.

Tampa Herald: The Twenty-second
street crossing of the Tampa Electric
Company was the scene Sunday af-
ternoon of an exciting incident, which
came near resulting in the lynching of
the principal actor of the occurrence,
w. P. Richardson, negro butcher.
Deputy Sheriff Maynor, the wife of a
well-known street car conductor, and
another gentleman were awaiting the
arrival of a Tampa bound car, when
the negro suddenly appeared, and
without warning, attempted to throw
his arms about the lady. Frightened
badly, she stepped backward and her
hat was knocked off. Deputy Maynor,
of course, came to the lady's rescue,
and attempted to arrest the negro, who
resisted the attempt and a desperate
struggle ensued, in which the officer
was forced to strike the negro a heavy
blow with his pistol Several gentle
men in the neighborhood had wit
messed the Negroes performance, and
at once rushed to the scene, fully in
tending to wreak summary vengeance
upon him. I'VE don't want a rope,
said one of them; wen just take him
out and cut his throat" Excitement
reigned supreme for a while, but the
officer finally claimed the crowd, and

FROM WATER FRONT
TWO STEAMERS MAY BE PUT ON
THE BOSTON LINE.
NEED OF MORE FACILITIES.
CITY OF MEMPHIS TOO LARGE To
REMAIN ON BOSTON RUN.

IL IL Said Either the ChattahOOchee
on Tallahassee, or Both, May
Go on the Direct Line-steamer
Observation-Disclosures Damaged ON
Voyage over and is Now Being
Repaired.
Interest is felt in shipping circles
as TO what the Ocean Steamship Com
pany will likely do in the way Of in
creasing its facilities between Savan-
nah and Boston, which it is expected
to do soon. The need for an addition
al steamer on the direct line is APP
parent now. and it is thought to be
only a question of time until one will
be put on.
The City of Memphis, which is the
only steamer now plying direct between
Savannah and Boston, will not be the
boat for the line the year around, it
is stated. She is a large carrier and
will answer well during the cotton
season, but when the movement of cot
ton is over it is said the Memphis can
be used to better advantage on the
Savannah and New York run and will
probably be returned there.
1t is understood that owing to an
increase in the general movement of
freight two steamers may be operated
on the direct run to Boston. The
Chattahoochee and the Tallahassee
have been mentioned for the line. The
former is now running between New
York and Boston. and the latter Is in
dry dock at New York, and Will soon
be out. If the plan to run both steam
ers on the line is carried out II is said
they will touch at New York on the
voyages down. on the outward trips
they will go direct to Boston.
Vice President Peasants was in Sa-
Vannah a few days ago, but it is not
understood that any action was taken
towards carrying out any plan, though
the need for additional facilities on
the Boston line was discussed.
Carpenters are busily engaged aboard
the British steamship fedora della
rinaga, repairing the damage done to
the vessel on her voyage from Eng
land to Baltimore. Chief Engineer
Fowler was seen aboard the vessel
yesterday and gave an account of the
damage. Chief Fowler said: I'VE left
Barrow-in- Furness, a port in England,
with a full cargo of pig iron bound to
Baltimore. From the time we got to
sea until we reached Baltimore we had
continuous southwest to northwest
gales. The winds did not lessen in
velocity the entire passage. Our yes
sci, being loaded down to her marks
with this heavy cargo, made her labor
heavily.
About o'clock one night when we
were in mid-ocean several heavy seas
boarded the ship, and smashed in all
the doors, skylights. ports, etc. ruined
all the engineers clothing broke up
all the furniture, and for an hour /
was in water up to my waist. The
next day we had to rig up temporary
hunks In other quarters of the ship
and made the best we could of the sit
uation until we got to Baltimore. We
were at Baltimore but a few days to
discharge, and all the repairs could
not be made there. In my twenty
five years experience at sea that was
the worst weather ! struck"
The fedora Larinaga is taking
on all cotton at the Central Railroad
wharf and is expected to sail about
Sunday.

New York, Jan. ACTIVITY and
buoyancy characterized the market in
the first hour. There was slight hest
tation in opening trades, owing to dis
appointing response to London to the
good close here yesterday. The de-
clines were quickly recovered and
prices ruled materially higher. Money
continued easy through the day, but
after the first hour, the speculation of
the last two days was felt. In the af-
ternoon selling pressure increased, al
though there was no new developments
to account for the change in the at
titude of the traders. In the railroad
list st. Paul declined 23s from the
high and reactions of 1 to 2 per cent.
took place in the leading issues. West
ern Union rose 2. Smelling 2, North

strong but suffered with the general
depression. The market closed weak.
Money on call opened high, 5k last,
