Fishing Sloop Of Charleston Caught
In Teeth Of Wind.

Charleston, S. c.. Sept. I5.-Rela-
tlveS and friends OF those abroad the
fishing sloop Gray Eagle" Capt.
William Simmons. now entertain
only slight hopes OF ever seeing the
':.'1bers Of the crew alive, it being
thought that some word would have
reached the city yesterday had the
boat weathered the gale which pre-
vailed in this vicinity Tuesday after
noon and night. 9Th Dora" Capt.
Lunne Cross. with a crew of two
men besides the captain. is also be-
lieved to have gone down as nothing
has been heard Of her since she sail
ed out to the Southeast Banks Tues
day.
The Big Ella" which was report
ed missing in The News and Courier
Yesterday morning, came in early
yesterday morning with her storm
sails missing and her main torn to
tatters On board the Big Ella"
we're three members OF the crew of
The Salem" which sloop anchored
near the Banks.
Capt Aiken OF the big Ella" was
seen by reporter yesterday and in
speaking of the squall which tore his
storm sails away. said: Il went out
70 sea Tuesday morning and after we
had gotten out near the Southeast
Banks a squall arose and before we
:ould haul down the storm sails they
we're torn away and we had to close
reef the main sail and were driven
before the wind with a bare mast.
About o'clock we sighted the 'Sa-
lem and hoping to be able to get
some storm sails from them, we
headed their way and as we came
closer we saw that they were flying
a distress signal We hove alongside
and asked if they had any sail. They
were in a worse plight than we were
and asked 70 be taken aboard. | had
six men on board and did not think
it would be safe to take the five men
from the Salem. About this time the
Gray Eagle came in sight and she
was signalled and was soon alongside.
Capt. Simmons said he would take
two of the men of the Salem. He did
so and I took the other three-Capt.
Prince Brand. Guy Johnson and
Tom and we left the Salem anchor
ed. The Eagle went in different di-
rection from the course we pursued
and we soon lost sight of them. We
decided to come to the Stono and af-
ter being out until about 5 o'clock
in the morning reached quiet water
and came in safely"

THE STATESBORO AFFAIR.
It Seems That Soldiers Would Have
Done Their Duty Had It Not
Been For Officers.

Atlanta. Ca, Sept. 15.-After re-
ceiving and considering the full re-
port Of the Statesboro Court of In
Quiry Governor Terrell has ordered
4 courtmartial to decide as to wheth-
er or not Capt. Hitch, Lieut.. Nell,
Lieut.. Griner, Lieut.. Cone and
Lieut.. Morrison were derelict in their
duty during the recent trouble at
Statesboro.
The report of the court of inquiry
amounts practically to an indictment
OF the officers in charge of the troops
at Statesboro. Lieut. Mcintyre was
the only commissioned officer ex-
onerated by the court. Hsi action in
making an attempt to withstand the
mob and protect the prisoners is
praised by the court.
The report goes into detail. stat
ing that the evidence failed to dis
close any energetic efforts on the
part of the military authorities to dis
perse the mob and likewise failed to
disclose any serious casualties either
to the mob or military
That part of the report relating to
Capt Hitch is as follows:
THAT the force under Capt. Hitch
was sufficiently large to have afford
ed protection to the prisoners had
it been properly handled, but the
commanding officer did not use prop
er precautions, nor was his conduct
sufficiently energetic or forceful, he
having failed to avail himself of the
services OF large percentage Of his
command which was within his reach
and abailable.
The conclusion OF the court is
that the troops could have taken the
prisoners from the mob, even after
they left the court house, had vigor-
Gus efforts been used instead Of no
attempt at all
The report refers to the fact that
the only instructions given the men
as to when to load and fire was that
given by Capt Hitch on the train re-
quiring them not to load or fire ex-
cept when specifically instructed to do
so. these instructions having the ef-
feet generally of restraining the men
from loading their guns when at
tackled by the mob"
Two instances OF soldiers loading
and threatening to shoot were re-
ferred to when the desired effect was
had on the mob, as these two soldiers
held their ground, thus furnishing
evidence OF the effect on the mob OF
determined resistance"

What He Said About The California Limited

"I boarded the California Linn ited prepared to kick at every thing. After partaking of the sumptuous dinners, garnished with exquisite grass birds, tender Vermont turkey, and other good things like your mother used to serve them, I am still kicking because my return ticket is not over the Santa Fe."
 A San Francisco man wrote it in the Limited "Log Book" The Harvey system dining car service on the Santa Fe leads the world.

takes of another sound nap.

| takes or another sound nap.
 Long experience has taught him that a passenger who is walked up at mid night will fall asleep again at about ? a. m. Accordingly he sleeps till nearly three o'clock, when he begins with delight the process of getting his passengers out of bed. He informs everyone that "We mos there, sah, '' without attaching the slightest mean ing to the word ''there," and that "we're wanting to make them beds up now, and put lem awaw, sah." The meek passenger, believing that he is arriving at the point where breakfast is to be served, dresses hurriedly, spends half an hour in general shoe exchange with his fellow travellers, and after borrowing tooth brush from a generous soul next door, brushes his teeth, and then settles down to await three hours for break fast. At this point he usually loses his patience and uses language that it would not be polite to relate, but nevertheless when the porter comes to him and demands fifty cents for having mixed the shoes, he pays him without daring to hint that he deserves the most cruel death that the ablest inquisitor ever invented.
 In no other country would the man meekly lie down and let the sleeping car porter roll the wheels of his car over his neck.
 It would be easy to overthrow the tyrant. Who would be free themselves must kill the porter, says the poet. What would be simpler than for a band of determined passengers to seize the porter on his first intimation that they must go to bed, and to place him gagged and bound in the wood box? Whenever passenger desires his bed made the porter might be re- leased long enough to make the bed, thereby performing a real duty. He might be kept. securely confined dur ing the night, but the best plan would be to drop him of the rear platform as soon as the last bed is made. This would make it certain that he would not make his usual midnight round, and that the passengers would be able to sleep unmolested until reason able hour in the morning. A few years ago a brave Texan, who had suffered greatly at the hands of var. ious sleeping car porters, made up his mind that he would find remedy for the evil. When the porter came around he told him that he didn't want the beds made up at eight | o'clock, but the porter paid no atten- ton to the demand. When an hour later the Texan dissected him with a bowie knife and put 8 specimen of him in every berth, the wretch began to perceive the error of his ways. There would be some inconvenience in immi- tating the Texans example, but it is mere nonsense to p-etend that thirty strong and determined men cannot at any time throw of the yoke of sleep ing car porter, even without proceed ing to the extremity of throwing him off the train.

THE TRAVELLING TYRANT.

no one who surpasses in effectiveness
 the sleeping car porter. It is his dut.
 to attend to the discomforts of trav
 elers, and in the discharge thereof h
 has made countless thousands swear
 Every sleeping car is nominally il
 charge of special conductor, gor

 train starts and is not, seen again un
 til morning. The porter (the big gul
 in the sleeping carl, as soon as tn, conductor goes on his way to mak'
 himself comfortable in another car
 or perhaps listen to a few refined
 stories told by some gentlemanly drummer or bad actor, instantly be comes master of all he surveys. The
 moment it is dark he puts his pas
 sengers to bed. No matter how an
 xious traveller may be to sit up till ten o'clock, in order to pursue an in' nocent conversation with a young lady, the porter is sure to 'but in
 about eight o'clock and remark: "We want to make down the beds now, sah." With the spirit characteristic of the American traveller the unfOr. tunate man never dreams of disputing the porter's authority, but promptly arises and balances himself uneasily on a neighboring berth while his bed is put in order. The object of the porter in requiring his passengers to go to bed promptly at eight o'clock is not that he desires them to get all the sleep possible. No, far be it from such. But simply that the sooner they are out of the way he can go to bed himself. What to him is the vail of the wretched traveller who is thrust into stifling berth hours before he can by any possibility go to sleep? What cares he for the disappointment of the young man and the young woman who had expected to enjoy each others society during the even- ing? He knows that if he orders the passengers of his car to go to bed there will not be the slightest chance of anybody having nerve enough to disobey him.
 As soon as the passenges are in bed the porter takes away their shoes, not necessarily with view to polishing them, but as guarantee that they will not venture to get out of bed with out permission. These shoes he takes to his den in the back of the car, where he spends little time in mix. ing them up, and then prepares for sleep. As rule the porter does not snore, because he holds that the duty of snoring properly belongs to the passengers. If, however, as some- times happens, no passenger volun- teers to slore, the porter demonstrates the fearful power of the African nose by snoring with a sustained vigor that no ordinary travelling nose can ever hope to initiate. Before going to sleep the porter has, of course, closed all the ventilators if it is summer, and opened them all if it is winter, thus assuring himself that the passengers will suffer as much as possible from heat or cold as the casa may ho thereby gaining as little sleep as pos- sible for their money. What with the heat and noise the passengers rarely manage to get to sleep before twelve o'clock, by which tine the porter, re- freshed by his nap, rouses himself and begins his midnight round. He stops at every berth, and shaking the sleep inp Dassenpers wakes him ,,n to ask.

STILL CLIM BING UP,
Choice Western Cattle Bring over
Five Dollars.

TNC bOldIos
Western cattle trade was generally
good this week. buyers p~atronized the
green goods division Of the market in
preference TO buying common natives.
and $4,000 AIS was paid In numerous
instances. Rappal Bros. & Co. sold
a car load OF Montana grassers at $5.-
80 for w. J. Nyles. Hogan, Mont. say
nappal Bros q Co. and they advise
as follows:
Despite the fact that native cattle
values were on a much lower basis
the demand for desirable range beef
was exceptionally good and steady TO
strong prices were the rule. We sold
car load after car load of western
green goods at a big dime higher
prices. as the following sales amply
afford best evidence. We sold steers
at S5.35 and S4.6O for W j. Nyles. Ho-
gan. Mont: steers at S. for c. T..

bout, Big Piney. Wyo.; steers at Sl65

Receipts Of western range cattle
for the month OF October were lO0.5O0
head. against 56,j00 in September and
$500 for the month of October last
year. The total for the year to date
is 20I, 500. against l6S.00O for the cor
responding period last year. During
the month prices for most of the of
ferings were disappointing. This was
chiefly because the quality was so re-
markubly poor. buyers were willing
to pay good prices for the best kinds
as was evidenced by the fact that sev'
eral loads during The month brought
S5M5.35. which were sold by Rappal
Bros e Co. The great bulk of the
receipts, however. changed hands at
SS.25G3.75. and there werc many Thin
cattle that sold down TO 81. A good
many range cows sold at S2.50m3.5d
and prices were comparatively low,
There is a desire to rush in as many
: cattle as possible before the weather
:. cuts OFF shipments. and lately the mar
ket has been heavily supplied. Ii
weather conditions are so ranchmcn
can continue To ship freely. IL is eX'
pected that November receipts will be
larger than usual. and as there Is q
great scarcity of corn fed natives, good
; range cattle will undoubtedly com
mand high premiums.
There was an urgent demand fol-

actively in search of sheep strings

OF sorting them OF for export. This
: gave the western side of the sheeI
