Caught a Dead Negro with a Hook.

( Augusta, Ca, March 1O.--While fish
ing in the Savannah river, at the foot. of
Bay street, yesterday afternoon, John
Burt, a negro, made the strange and
largest catch of his entire piscatorial
career, and at the same time brought to
light evidences OF foul murder. It was
a dead body, later identified as that of
Ben Lane, negro, who disappeared
several weeks ago, that became tangled
on the fisherman's hook, giving him tho
biggest fright of his life.
Burt had just taken small catfish off
his line and made another cast. Imme-
diately he felt tug at his line, and he
was almost jerked into the river. The
negro at once thought that an infant
whale had strayed up the Savannah, or
that he had run afoul log, but when he
began pulling In his line he discovered
the nature of his catch, one 80 ghastly as
to send cold shivers up and down his
spinal vertebras.
The body of the negro was In state
Of decomposition, owing to its long stay
in the water, but even the mighty Sa-
5vannah had not been able to wipe away
traces of the crime by which the negro
lost his life. Extending across the fore
head and down toward the left ear @yas
10 deep cash, and closer examination
! showed that the skull was fractured.

Transfer Of Large Part Of Fleet
Will be Permanent.

According to an exchange which
processes to have inside iuforma
ton on the subject, there are evidences
that when the battleship squadron
goes to the Pacific, it will be IA per-
manent transfer for IL large part Of
the feet. This may be readily figured
out on inference. Preparations have
been made by the Navy Department
for establishing a large naval station
and dock yard at San Diego. Now
there are already docking facilities
at San Francisco and Seattle for
all the feet that has ever been on
the Pacific coast, and the OattleShip
squadron, ii present plans are ear
ried out, will be on the Pacific before
IL year has passed. A dry dock can
not he constructed in less than three
years, so that if there is going to be
il large addition to the docking facili-
ties of the coast, it will look to the
statiOning there of II much larger
naval force than has ever been kept
in those waters before
