Worse, worse than useless. Some

futile seemed to realize that this was
one of them, for she paused abruptly,
with the words half finished on her
tongue. Yet her attitude commanded
respect, and for one was ready to &c
cord 1t to her.
Certainly such woman was not to
be seen every day, and if her replies
lacked candor, there was nobility in
her presence which gave the lie to any
doubt. At least, that was the effect
she produced on me. Whether or not
her interrogation shared my feeling l

attention as well as mine was sudden

The captain took advantage of this
reference to Mr.. Jeffrey to ask where
that gentleman was. The young lady
did not seem eager to reply, but when
pressed, answered, though somewhat
mechanically, that it was impossible
for her to say; Mr.. Jeffrey had many
friends, with any one of whom lie
might be enjoying social evening.
But 1T is far past midnight now,"
remarked the captain. is he in the
habit of remaining out late?"
Sometimes" she family admitted.

Were there other causes for the
young brides evident disappointment
and misery besides the one intimated?
There certainly was some excuse for
thinking so.
Possibly some one. of us may have
shown his doubts in this regard, for
the woman before us suddenly broke
forth with this vehement assertion:
"Mr. Jeffrey was loving husband
to my sister-a very loving husband"
she emphasized. Then, growing des-
perately pale, she added, II have never
known better man." and stopped.
Some hidden anguish in this cry,
. some self consciousness in this pause,
suggested to me a possibility which
was glad to see ignored by the captain
In his next question.
when did you see your sister last?"
he asked. "Were you at home when
she left her husbands house?
"Alasw she murmured. Then, see
ing that more direct answer was ex-
pected of her, she added with as little
appearance Of effort as possible: ~
was Mt home, and heard her go out.
But had no idea that it was for any
purpose other than to join some social
gathering"
Dressed this way?"
The captain pointed to the floor, and
her eyes followed. Certainly Mrs. JET
frey was not appareled for an evening
company. AS Miss futile realized the
trap into which she had been betrayed

The woman's story that she quietly

without uttering an cutlery that would
have been heard by some one passing,
is considered improbable by the police.

BODY OF DROWNED
STOWAWAY RECOVERED

A body bearing every indication that
it was that of the stowaw'ay who jump
ed from the steamship Lexington some
time ago, mention of which was made
in the Morning News at the time, was
found floating some distance below the
city yesterday morning. Coroner KEEL
Ter held an investigation and issued
a burial permit
The man, with a companion, was
found aboard the Lexington just after
the steamer left Baltimore, and both
were arrested. When the ship arrived
at Savannah one of these men said
he was either going to go free or was
going to drown. After the ship had
been locked several hours a splash
was heard in the water, and one of
the stowaw'ays was missing He was
handcuffed at the time.

FROM TRINIDAD
TO BE REPAIRED
STEAMER ORDERED HERE.
VIKING WILL BE REPAIRED BY
KEHOE g. SONS.

Savannah Promises to be FavOrite
Port for Repairing VesseIs-COm-
ing of Viking May Mean the Es-
tabIfshment of Another Line OF
Steamers From Savannah-Messrs.
KehOe Believe Repairing of
Steamers Will be Steady Industry.
From far-away Trinidad a steamship
has been ordered to Savannah for re-
pairs, and this port promises to build
up a healthy trade of this sort.
1t is the first time in the history
of the port that a vessel has been or
dered so far for repairs, and. too. Will
liam Kehoe & Sons. who have been
commissioned to make the repairs, be-
lieve it will result in the establishing
of another line of steamers from this
port.
Messrs. Kehoe received an order yes
terday morning for the complete over
hauling of the steamer Viking, owned
by the New York and Bermudez Com
pany. Mr.. Kehoe thinks that later the
company will establish a line from Sa-
vannah, although he has not been in
formed on this subject.
Certainly the fact that a vessel has
been ordered all the way from Trini-
dad to Savannah for repairs is evil
dence of the fact that this port will
become prominent in a short while as
place where vessels may be overhauled.
Mr.. Kehoe anticipates a day in the
very near future when Savannah will
be the port on this coast where vessels
will go into for repairs and overhaul
ing.
The letter to Messrs. Kehoe ordering
work done on the Viking was from the
Philadelphia office of the company and
was dated Dec. l. 1t carried the in
formation that the Viking sailed on
the night of Nov. 80 from Trinidad
upon receipt of a cablegram from the
home office ordering it here. 1t is ex-
pected that the steamer will arrive be-
tween Dec. and 10.
thorough inspection of the hull and
machinery will be made by Messrs.
Kehoe Immediately upon the arrival of
the steamer and a full report of the
work necessary will be forwarded at
once to the company's Philadelphia Of
foes. To what extent the repairing
will be carried on will then be decided
and the work started Immediately
Messrs. Kehoe are fully equipped to
do the work, and there will be no de-
lay in getting the steamer back on it's
regular run.

MRS. WILLIAM FUEHR
Is HOME FROM JAPAN.

Can't Discuss Conditions Now Pre-
vaiIing in Little Empire.
Mrs. William Fuehr, daughter Of Mr..
H. P. Smart, returned yesterday morn
ing to Savannah from her present
home. in Kobe, Japan.
Owing to the fact that her husband,
DR.. William Fuehr, is officially con-
nected with the German legation in
Japan, Mrs. Fuehr was unable to dis
cuss the conditions that prevail in the
little empire, or to give any informa-
ton whatever concerning the war and
the way the war news is received in
Japan.
Criticism of any nature would be
construed as coming from her husband,
and, therefore, she is unable to tell
anything of the nation whose fortunes
in the war with Russia are so eagerly
watched by Americans.
Extracts from letters written by Mrs.
Fuehr to her father have been pub
lished in the Morning News from time
to time and have been read with the
greatest interest by Savannahians. 1t
will be generally regretted that the
conditions are such as to prohibit Mrs.
Fuehr from discussing Japanese af-
contained in the regular reports from
that country could undoubtedly be
given.

MANY STOP TO WATCH
MEN EXCAVATING.
Contractor Asks City to Swear in Of
ficer to Keep Crowd Back.

Contractor Asks City to Swear in Of
ficer to Keep Crowd Back.
Work on the new bank building at
Broughton and Bull streets has reached
a stage that is equally interesting to
the contractors and the public.
The work on the foundation is pro-
crossing rapidly, and the workmen who
are delving away in the excavation
are watched with curiosity by those
whose steps lead past the corner. So
many tarry and bend over the dam
gerous brink that the contractors have
determined to call halt. They have
asked the city authorities to swear in
for them a special officer to keep back
the crowds. This officer will be pro-
vided by the contractor.
The workmen take little notice of the
watchers, and do not seem to care
whether the work meets the approval
of the public or not. And it is re-
markable what results are accomplish
ed in a brief period. From one work.
man to another the spadeful of earth
is passed and finally it disappears in
the hungry NAV of the eXcaVator,
From the pockets of the belt of this
excavator the earth rolls into the wait
ing wagons and is carted away.
Yesterday morning an old man was
one among the watchers at the brink
of the Broughton street trench He
was eager to see how it was done, too
eager, in fact, for he stood on sand.
There was a sudden giving away of
his footing and a moment later the
workman at the bottom had company.
Luckily he was uninjured, and after
a dazed moment regained his feet. But
he was at the bottom of very deep
trench and the problem of getting him
out caused all hands at work to step
and assist. A rope served to bring
the man to the surface, and he was
not long in leaving the scene. His Gu
riosity had been satisfied.
Minutes are valuable to the contrac-
tor who has the foundation to Law,
and the work has approached a dan
gerous stage. For this reason he wants
the public kept out and has asked
the city to assist him in holding back
the curious.
A sign is posted on the fence erected
around the work which reads Keen
Out" This seems to sharpen the gen
eral desire to see what there is to keeu

NEGRO'S DREAM PREVENTED
SERIOUS HOTEL FIRE.
screven House Had Narrow Escape
From Being Burned.

From Being Burned.
OF the several narrow escapes that
the Screven House has had from being
destroyed by fire it remained yester-
day morning for a negro's dream to
outshine all other unique methods of
defeating the flames.
Davis Goldwire a colored employe of
the hotel, does not play policy, or else
his strange visions might be attributed
to too frequent references to the
dream book" Yesterday morning
Davis appeared at the hotel nearly
two hours earlier than was his wont.
He appeared to be in a great hurry.
He rushed into the kitchen, and a few
moments later emerged yelling fire 1t
the top of his voice. At first it was
thought the negro had suddenly lost
his mind. On investigation fire was
discovered between the ceiling of the
kitchen and the bedrooms above. The
department was quickly called, and
extinguished the flames.
The fremen say that had the flames
been allowed to burn undsturbed fif-
teen minutes longer it would have been
almost impossible to have saved the
building.
Goldwire said he dreamed all night
that the house was on fire. His dreams
worried him so that he finally got UP,
put on his clothes and hurried to the
Screven House. He found the flames
Just where he had dreamed they would
