CAPT, BROWNE, THE BUTCHER.
Leaves Life on the Sea for Less
TempestuOus Work.


Capt. ]. A. Browne, for long time
commander of the tug Dandy and well
known in shipping circles, has bought
the market stalls formerly run by H.
Logan, and will conduct the business
Capt. Browne is we'll known in Savan-
nah, and promises to make a success
in his new departure.
A feature of the Logan business is
supplying vessels, and with this branch
Capt. Browne is thoroughly acquaint-
ed. His long experience has thrown
him in close touch with ship masters
from all ports, and they will be pleased
upon their return here to find him in
charge of the business of such impor-
lance to them. They may rely upon
him for fair and liberal treatment,
for he knows what a seaman expects
in having supplies promptly sent out
Enjoying the confidence of the bust
ness community, the new purchaser has
every assurance of conducting the
stalls that have for a long time stood
high among those in the city market,
to the general satisfaction. He not
only expects to hold on to the old Gus
toners, but to acquire new business
as well. Capt. Browne came original
ly from Darien, where he has friends
who hold him in high esteem.

MILLION BALE MARK
FOR EIGHT YEARS.
Only Once Has 1t Been Reached
Earlier Than This Year.

The fact that Savannah was nine
days late this year as compared with
last year in receiving a mill
lion bales of cotton, was due to the
reason that the crop, while short ev-
erywhere, was particularly so in the
district contiguous to Memphis, from
which territory Savannah has drawn
heavily for several years.
The millionmile post has been made
a more difficult problem that formerly
also on account of the violent fiuctua-
tons of the cotton market, which has
had the effect of causing farmers to
hold back their product in the expecta-
ton of realizing the highest possible
price. Up to Friday. Savannah had
received 1.0O1, 931 bales, while Jan. 81,
1903. 1,O04OS1 bales had been brought
here.
ception of New Orleans and Galveston,
held up its end with the other cotton
ports of the United States.
The receipts at all ports on the South
Atlantic coast have been extremely
light.
Since 1897, or for a period of eight
years this port has received over 1,000,-
900 bales of cotton each year for ship
ment.
In this connection it might be inter-
esting to note the stated time in these
years that the quota has been reached,

LUMBER WAGON WENT
OVER BOY BICYcLIST.
Negro Driver Disappeared Before an
Arrest Could BE Made.

Negro Driver Disappeared Before an
Arrest Could BE Made.
A white boy. whose name could not
be learned. had a narrow escape from
fatal injury yesterday morning about
S o'clock.
The boy was riding a bicycle and
started to turn from Oglethorpe ave-
nue. I'D Barnard street. AS he made
the turn a negro. in a lumber wagon,
started to turn into Oglethorpe. The
negro was on the wrong side of the car
tracks, and as a result a collision re-
suited. The boy was knocked to the
ground by one of the mules and both
wheels of the large wagon passed over
his body.
The screams of the lad attracted the
attention of the people living in that
vicinity, and he was carried to a near
by home and made as comfortable as
possible. 1t was seen at once that he
was not badly injured, though had the
wagon been loaded instead of empty,
it would have crushed out his life. The
bicycle was a complete wreck.
A number of pedestrians who saw the
accident were highly incensed, and
threats were made against the negro,
even after it had been announced that
the boy was not seriously injured. The
negro stopped his team for only a few
moments and then drove off. Parties
interested were unable to learn his
name, nor for whom he was working,
and no arrests were made.

PARTRIDGE WILL
AGAIN VISIT YAP.
Know How He VIII Get Away
From Island

Leaves One Day This Weelx-DOesn't
Know How He Will Get Away
From Island.
Mr.. Walter C. Hartridge will leave
this week for the Isle of Yap to be
present when King O'Keefe is declared
officially dead on May IL.
Mr.. Hartridge knows how he will be
know how he will get back. He will not
know until tomorrow just what day
he will leave Savannah, as he is wait
ing on some important information
concerning schedules and sailing
dates of vessels which he will employ
in making the passage from San Fran
cisco, via Hong Kong, to the Isle of
King O'keefe.
Mr.. Hartridge will not be back in
Savannah until some time next Sep
TENDER, if he gets back that early.
When he lands on the possessions of
the former King of zap there is no
certainty as to when he will be able
to return, there being no passenger
boats between there and Hong Kong.
He will have to take his chances of
catching a sailing craft of some sort
to Hong Kong.
Mr.. Hartridge expects to make the
trip to zap in little less than two
months, but leaves Savannah with
plenty Of time in reserve so that if
there is any unusual delay he will
still be in time to push the claims of
the Savannah heirs when the estate of
the dead King is finally administered
on. There are also many other mat
tiers of law to be arranged before the
division of the estate.
According to the laws that obtain in
zap King O'Keefe will not be dead
until May u. He disappeared on that
day nearly three years ago, and there
being no conclusive evidence that he
is dead, it is required by law that
period of three years shall elapse be-
fore he is declared dead and his es-
tate divided.
Mr.. Hartridge has received word
from Hong Kong that there is a vessel
leaving that port for zap on April l.
1t will be upon this boat that he will
make the trip to the isle where King
O'Keefe's word was law But it will be
another matter when the lawyer gets
the Savannah widows share of the es-
tate and is ready to begin his home
ward journey.
Just how he is going to get away
from zap is what is annoying Mr..
Hartr1dge just at present. upon the
occasion of his last visit he was con-
veyed from Hong Kong to
zap on a United States
government vessel, that called
back at the island for him. Mr.. Hart
ridge is, showever, as usual optimistic
and says that he will probably be able
to secure passage from zap on some
schooner. Although he will leave Sa-
vannah about three months before
will hn Of he
past, time will not hang heavy on Mr.
Hartridge's hands. He has considera-
BILE business to transact in Hong Kong
where O'Keefe had large interests.
