FINDING OF MISS GING’S BODY.
ONE OF THE MEN WHO FIRST SAW
IT ON THE WITNESS STAND.
Re ExpresH*** the Opinion That It
Was Thrown From the Buggy nml
Describes the Position In Which
It Was Found—A Lively Wrangle
Over the Aliened Manufacturing
of Evidence.
"Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 19.—The Har
vard trial dragged thia morning and a
rather dull and uninteresting time was
spent by the crowd present.
Edward Goodsell was recalled to the
stand and Mr. Erwin examined him. His
testimony related to large sums of money
tn the defendant’s possession, while in
Chicago.
F. C. Erhardt, brother to the man who
discovered the body of Miss Glng, was
next called. His brother had come to the
house and told him that there was a dead
body in the road. They took a lantern
and with a brother-in-law, went to the
scene. This was about 8:30 o’clock.
“My brother,” said the witness, “stated
that he had met a rig, the other side of the
hill. My brother went to the telephone,
and my brother-in-law and I stayed. I
eculd not see how she could have fallen
out of the buggy. The toe marks were
'• dragged a little.”
In the witness’ opinion the woman was
thrown out of the buggy.
"Was the body lying on the right or the
left side?”
“She was lying more on her stomach
than the right side. The toes were on the
ground and the heels up in the air. The
body from the waist up might have been
turned on the right side some.”
"Are you sure the heel track was hers?”
“Yes, sir; it was the only track near.”
“The appearance indicated that she
pitched out of the buggy head-first, did it
not?" asked Mr. Nye.
"Yes, sir; my brother said he had met
buggy and was Impressed that the body
had been thrown out.”
Mr. Erwin was not satisfied with this,
and asked: “Now you found heel tracks
there. There is no way in the world a
woman could be thrown out on her head
and strike on her feet, is there?”
The witness could not see how it could
happen.
A wrangle occurred between County At
torney Nye and Attorney Erwin a few
minutes later. The latter stated that he
wished to show that testimony had been
manufactured to break down the testi
mony of a witness. Like a flash Attorney
Nye sprang to his feet exclaiming: “I’ll
show you whether this testimony is man
ufactured or not before I get done.”
“We will show you that there has been
testimony manufactured,” was Mr. Er
win’s retort.
Mr. Nye’s eyes flashed ominously as he
fairly shouted: "And I will show where
you have manufactured evidence before I
get done with this case. I will hunt you
down to the end of the earth."
At this point the court interfered, ex
claiming: "Gentlemen cease, or I will fine
you both for contempt.”
Mr. Nye could not cool down so read
ily, however, and remarked tn a voice
that could be heard throughout the attor
neys’ inclosure: "I will teach Erwin to
come In here and shoot off his mouth.”
Mr. Erwin also excited the wrath of the
court by endeavoring to show that the po
lice had persecuted his witnesses. The
court had already warned the attorney
that this line of examination would not be
allowed, but the attoreny made another
statement in the hearing of the jury,
causing Judge Smith to remark excitedly:
"I think that the attorney should know
better than to ask such a question. I
think this is an insult.”
Mr. Nye took the witness Mr. Crandall,
the latter testifying that the man who got
in th® carriage that night wore pointed
toed tan shoes. The defense will endeavor
to prove that this was the man who con
spired with Blixt to Rip Miss Ging.
The Hayward defense is working the
“third man” theory and is putting in tes
timony to show that it was some other
man than Harry Hayward who planned
the murder.
Julia E. Walker of St. Paul testified
this afternoon to having seen Miss Glng
several times in St. Paul with a middle
aged man, w-ho w-ore an iron-gray mous
tache. The description given by this wit
ness does not tally with either that of
Wilson or Grindall. The latter testified
that he saw a man enter the buggy in
which Miss Ging was riding, after she
had driven a block from the West hotel.
There was a teriflo row to-day over the
attempts of Mr. Erwin to draw from this
-witness a description of the abuse to
which he had been subjected by a detec
tive named Hoy and the police officers
Mr. Nye made an objection every time a
question was asked as to Grindall being
persecuted. The court sustained every
objection to testimony of this kind, but
Mr, Erwin persisted in an effort to get
the evidence on record. Judge Smith
sharply reproved the attorney.
Grindall swore this afternoon that ef
forts had been made to corrupt his tes
timony by an attorney, Case Ebert. Ebert,
be says, has been representing himself
as one of Mr. Erwin’s men. The witness
said he did not find out till last Saturday
that Ebert was working for the state.
Several other witnesses testified con
cerning the shooting, but while their tes
timony may have some bearing upon the
ease later in the proceedings, it did not
appear material at the present time.
The defense wanted to recall Livery
man Wilson, who was so positive that ho
saw Miss Ging and Harry Hayward rid
ing together on the night of the murder,
bilt found he had taken a hasty trip to
Mlmoufl.
A TRAIN WRECK IN CAROLINA.

Charleston, 3. C., Feb. 19.—A Spartan
burg. S. C., special to the News and
Courier, says: "A freight train on the

WARES ON THE SOUTHERN.
The Employes Refuse to Accept the
New Schedule.
Washington, Feb. 19.—The committee of
t employes of the Southern Railway Com-
I pany, which has been in session in Wash
i ington for nearly a week, has been unable
» to come to an agreement with the repre
> sentatlves of the railway company. The
company, through its third vice president,
. Mr. Baldwin, made a very full and frank
t statement of the affairs of the company
I and showed why it was not advisable
that there should be a general increase
in wages, as demanded by the employes,
since receiving the statement the em
; ployes’ committee has been in secret ses
r sion and has finally concluded not to ac
cept the schedule proposed by Mr. Bald
-1 win, and the grand chief of the various
trainmen’s brotherhoods have been sum
, moned to this city to assist if possible
in arriving at a satisfactory arrangement
of the difficulty. These gentlemen are ex
pected to arrive here to-morrow. Those
I into' whose hands the matter now passes
are P. M. Arthur of Cleveland, 0., grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers; E. E. Clark of Cedar Rapids,
la., grand chief of the Order of Rail
way conductors; Mt Wilkinson, grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen;,/and P. F. Sargent, grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Railway
Firemen.
Peoria, 111., Feb. 19.—Grand Master Sar
gent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen left for Washington last night,
in response to a telegram. He goes to
Washington to assist in settling the dis
pute between the officers and employes
of the Southern railroad, over the matter
of wages.
It was learend to-day that Chief Arthur
of ‘he Brotherhood of Engineers is not
in Cleveland at 'present, and
It is not ' expected that he
will be able to attend the eomerence
here. Chief Sargent of the firemen was
at his home in Terre Haute, Ind., when
the committee notified him to come and he
is probably on his way now. Chief Clark
of the Order of Railroad Conductors will
have to come all the. way from Cedar
Rapids, la. In the meantime, nothing
can be dope toward solving the knotty
problem, and the members of the com
mittee are simply waiting; It was stated
to-day that Vice President Baldwin had
gone south, but whether on business con
nected with the present agitation concern
ing wages is not known.
A BRAVE RESCUE AT~SEA.
The Rialto of Liverpool Abandoned
in Mid-Ocean.
New York, Feb. 19,—The White Star
freight steamer Tauric, from Liverpool,
commanded by Capt. T. J. Jones, R. N. R.,
arrived at quarantine at noon with four
teen shipwrecked mariners on board, hav
ing rescued them in mid-ocean, during a
severe gale of * wind, after a delay of
more than six hours and under circum
stances which severely tried the pluck
and endurance of some of the crew. Capt.
Jones says: "On Feb. ID, in lat. 50 degrees,
.01 mln., long. 19 degrees, 17 min., a ship
showing signals of distress was sighted
from the bridge of the Tauric. The course
of the vessel was at once changed and we
bore down to the vicinity of the wreck.
The seas were running to an enormous
htght, and every time we descended into
the trough of the sea the wreck would
disappear from view. The chief officer, Mr.
Kerr, and seven seamen volunteered to
launch the life boat and go to the rescue.
Several attempts were made to board the
ship, but were ineffectual owing to the
ugly cross sea. The chief officer called to
the men to jump, some of whom did.
Others passing a line from the wreck
were hauled into the boat drenched and
nearly frozen. The vessel, which was
abandoned, proved to be the ship Rialto,
for Liverpool, laden with guano, from
Valparaiso for Antwerp.”
CHANCES OF FREE~COHCIGE.
The Outlook In the House Committee
Very Poor.
Washington, Feb. 19.—What will be the
fate of free coinage bill should the Senate
pass one, la a question that Is being asked
on the House side of the capltol. Careful
inquiry leaves the matter in doubt, with
the chances against action on the bill. The
hitch is with the committee on coinage,
weights and measures, to which the bill
would be referred under the rules should
it reach the House. Mr. Bland, dem., of
Missouri, chairman of the committee, is
the tree coinage leader Os the House, but
it is doubtful If he can get the bill out of
committee should it even reach there. He
has endeavored to have the committee act
on his bill, providing for the re-enactment
of the free coinage law of 1837, but has
been unsuccessful. The anti-silver mem
bers of the committee do not attend the
meetings', thus breaking the quorum and
preventing action on ail measures favora
ble to the white metal which happens to
come up for consideration, should they
attend, however, the fate of a free silver
bill Is still doubtful, and Mr. Bland fears
that the vote would be against It. Accord
ing to his calculations the committee
would stand 9 to 8< against the bill.

FEARS OF A NEGRO UPRISING.
SECRET MEETINGS HELD AND A
HOUSE BURNED IN HARRIS.
The Arma and Accoutrements of the
County Military Company De
al royed in the Fire—The Negroes
Believed to Have CauMed the Fire
in Order to Disarm the Military
Company—A Lack of Provisions
Their Alleged Grievance.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 19.— A race war is
imminent in Waverly Hall district in Har
ris county. The negroes of that section
have recently aroused the suspicion of
the white people by secret gatherings late
at night, aoid later by making open
threats.
To-day Gov. Atkinson received a letter
from T. J. Kimborough, chairman of the
executive committee or the Fourth con
gressional district. In this letter Mr. Kim
borough -states that the only thing which
has seemed to deter the negroes so far
has been the fear of the military
of Harris, ‘the Gordon troop.” That a
preconcerted arrangement was made to
destroy the effectiveness of this military
company, he says, js evinced by the fact
that during the early morning hours of
Feb. 14. the house of Cant. J. S. Clark,
the commander of the Gordon troop, the
place where the arms, sabres and ammu
i nitlon of this company were stored, was
i set on fire and together with its entire con
tents was completely destroyed. To bring
the incendiaries to justice the governor is
appealed to to offer rewards for their
capture.
The situation at present does not war
rant the sending of other troops to the
scene, but further developments are await
ed with considerable uneasiness in the
governor’s office. Gov. Atkinson at once
took the matter up and the reward will be
offered just as soon as the papers can be
properly made out.
So far as can be learned, the only
grievance the negroes hold is that the
white people have meat and provisions
while they have not, and they propose
to get them.
"We have been successful so far in
| controlling the whites,” writes Col. Kim
brough, "and we think we can continue
to do so. But they are greatly incensed
and are badly scared, and if there are
any more depredations there may be very
serious trouble.”
Col. Kimbrough writes that the burn
ing of Capt. Slack’s home is regarded as
simply the beginning, and more trouble
is expected this week. The seat of the
trouble is in the region between Waverly
Hall, Ellerslie and Cataula, where the
negroes are largely in the majority.
TENNESSEE'S CONTEST.
I
The Counwel For Mr. Evans Asks
Time to Consider the Questions.
Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 19.—The guberna
i torial contest investigating committee met
in the Senate chamber at 9:30 o’clock to
day. When Chairman Caldwell called the
committee to order all the members an
swered to the roll call. The counsel for Mr.
Evans asked for time to consider the
question that were presented for argument
and a recess was taken until 7 o’clock.
When the committee 'reconvened the
attorneys had agreed that the argument
Should bo opened and closed by the coun
i sei for Gov. Turney. W. H. Carroll, chair
man of the state democratic committee,
and counsel for Gov. Turney, opened the
argument. He and those who followed
on behalf of Gov. Turney took the position
that, there being no natural right to vote,
every voter should, before being permitted
to vote, furnish proof that he had com
plied with the statutory requirements as
to the payment of the poll tax, registra
tion and other such features of the Ten
nessee election laws. The legislature, he
argued, should not be bound by the ca
prices of election judges. The commit
tee had submitted to counsel certain ques
tions bearing upon the form of procedure
desirable for the election investigation,
and each side submitted a report thereon
in writing. There was a night session,
but nothing was done beside the argu
ment.
KILLED BY A BURSTING GUN.
Lie Wt. Fremont P. Peck Loses Hiw
Life on a Proving Ground.
Sandy Hook. N. J., Feb. 19.—Fremont
I* Peck, first lieutenant of the ordnance
corps, was almost instantly killed on the
proving grounds here this afternoon by
the bursting of the breech of a Hotchkiss
gun.
The test of 4 7-10-inch Hotchkiss rapid
firing gun was under way and two rounds,
with fixed ammunition, had been suc
cessfully fired by Lieut. Peck. When the
third round was fired the breech of the
gun burst and fragments from it struck
Lieut Peck on the face and back, caus
ing injuries which resulted in his death
in a few minutes.
Sergt. John Thorp was slightly injured
in the leg, but the others present among
whom were Capt Frank Heath, the com
manding officer of the proving grounds,
and Maj. Frank P. Hipps, the president
of the ordnance board, escaped unhurt.
Many had narrow escapes from serious
injury, as fragments of the breech were
sent in all directions and the breech
block, after striking several obstructions,
landed about 100 yards away to the rear.

ENGLAND’S BEHHG SEA CLAIM
•
Sir Bnileii-Powcll Very Anxions
About Its Payment.
London, Feb. 19.—1 n the House of Com
mons to-day Sir George Baden-Powell,
member for the Kirkdale division of Liv
erpool, asked the government for infor
mation regarding the payment of $425,000
which the United States had undertaken
as compensation to sealers under the
award of the Bering sea tribunal as arbi
tration. He desired to be informed
whether any steps for the appropriation
of this sum would be taken by the United
States congress before the rising of that
body, which would occur in March.
Sir Edward Gray, under foreign sec
retary, replied that President Cleveland,
in his message to congess, had recom
mended that provision should be made for
the prompt payment of the sum awarded.
Sir Edward further said that the British
ambassador at Washington, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, in his reports to the home
government, concerning the matter had
stated that thei\‘ was no reason to doubt
that the amount would be appropriated
before the rising of congress.
This statement was greeted from all
sides with cries of “hear; hear!”
Sir George Baden-Powell further in
quired if the United States had an agree
ment with the Russian government re
garding the seal iisheries in the North
Pacific ocean.
Sir Edward Gray' replied that an agree-,
ment had been concluded between those
two countries in May,’ similar to the one
existing between England and Russia,
which, it was understood would remain in
force until either party gave formal no
tice of its intention to modify its provis
ions.
The Dally News to-morrow will comment
as follows on the results of the divisions
in the House of Commons last night: “We
need scarcely say that there is not the
slightest truth in the rumors which con-
I nected the cabinet with rhe divisions. The
time has passed for inquiring whether the
ministers will appeal forthwith to the
country on their legislative proposals.
Their choice has been made already and
it cannot be altered without disaster.”'
BALTIMORE BAAKN SWINDLED.
Can* Supposed to CoiUuiu Oytten
Filled. With Toutafoea anti Cora.
Baltimore, Feb. 19.—The suicide, a few
weeks ago, of William W. Crozier, a
prominent business man of this city was,
at the time, generally attributed to tem
porary insanity. It developed to-day that
he had been guilty of fraudulent prac
tices, and it is believed he committed sui
cide rather than face disgrace.
Mr. Crozier was the only surviving mem
ber of the firm cf H. S. Lanfair & Co.,
and a large dealer in canned goods.
Throughout the winter he was a bull in
the market, and just previous to his death,
stored thousands of eases, obtaining ware
house receipts therefor. The receipts he
hypothecated, receiving large advances
from banks. When 60,W0 eases of goods,
on storage in Brown’s warehouse, were
overhauled, it was discovered that over
6,000 cases, supposed to contain oysters,
; were filled with tomatoes and corn. The
packer says he was instructed by Mr.
, Crozier to stencil,the eases as csontaln
; ing oysters. The loss through this fraud
] will be about 110,000. Meantime the inves
tigation is going on. but the system of
I lending money to fruit and oyster packers
on goods in storage has received a severe
j shock. The banks will not be able to re
i cover their losses from the estate.

A Rieh Boy Kill* Himnelf Because He
Was Punished.
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 19.—Last night
the guardian of little Willie Miller, aged
13, living on North Meridian street,
punished the boy for a trivial offense. He
declared that he would kill himself, and
going to a closet secured a package of
arsenic that had been used to poison rats.
He left the house and went to a neighbor’s
where he was soon taken sick. An inves
tigation showed that he had taken enough
of the drug to kill several persons. The
boy died this morning. Miller was an

LOOKS LIKE A BIG SWINDLE.
THE PLYMOUTH ROCK PANTS COM
PANY UNDER A CLOUD.
Travelling Auditor Fay Arrested at
Nashville—Unsuspecting At Inn Huns
Cash $1,500 Worth of Worthies*
Checks and Drafts—A Belief That
Fay Floated Them As Part of a
Scheme Concocted By the Main
Office at Boston.
Atlanta. Ga„ Feb. 19.—Chief of Police
Connolly this afternoon received notice of
the arrest at Nashville of F. J. Fay, trav
eling auditor of the Plymouth Rock Pants
Company of Boston. The necessary papers
were at once prepared and an officer left
to-night to bring Fay back to this city to
face a lot of ugly charges in connection
with the failure of the Plymouth Rock
Pants Company. It Is that he
was operating in conjunction with the Bos
ton concern, deliberately carrying out a
plan to swindle everybody in sight and his
arrest will probably be followed by sen
sational developments on the Boston end
of the line, as well as all over this sec
■ tlon of the country. As far as has devel
oped Fay’s operations in Atlanta foot up
about $1,500. He victimized the Kimball
house management about $225, the Capitol
City Bank of $649, the Maddox Rucker
• Banking Company, S3OO, the Postal Tele-
I graph Company, $175, the A. L. Delkin
Company, $lO5, Eads Neel & Company,
s*s, and McKenzie & Riley SBS, by giving
worthless checks on the Beacon Light
Bank of Boston. Most of the checks were
indorsed by C. S. Sikes, local manager
for the Plymouth Rock Company, but he
is regarded as one of the victims
of the cheat. All the checks were repudi
ated by the Beacon Light Bank, although
in the past similar cheeks cashed by the
Kimball house people and others for repre
sentatives of the Plymouth Rock Com
pany, have been honored. The ease is
complicated by the fact that
Fay, who made his appearance
here a week or ten days ago, is
accused of having telegraphed the pro
ceeds of the worthless checks to the Bos
ton house. This makes It appear like a
: gigantic scheme on the part of the Boston
! concern to swindle wherever a victim could,
be found, the plan being to float as many
worthless checks and drafts as possible
before the failure of the concern, which
was but a matter of a day or so, should
occur. All the checks floated here were
i signed by the Boston concern, Fay stat
’ ing that they were sent out to him as ex
j pense money, etc. In one of his transac-
I tions with the Kimball house he exhibited
a telegram from the Boston concern, au
thorizing him to draw' for SIOO.
When the Boston house failed, Sikes,
the manager of the branch here, was in
structed to attach the stock for $2,000 to
protect "foreign” creditors, but upon the
advice of his law'yer he attached *3.510,
which, will probably protect the victims of
the worthless checks here.
NO NEWS OF THE ISTRIAN.
Considerable Anxiety For an Over
due Steamer From Liverpool.
Richmond, Va., Feb. 19.—A special from
Newport News to the Dispatch says:
"When the British steamship Allendona
) arrived here to-day from Newcastle, ,On-
Tyne, England, her commander, William
Bartlett, was showered with inquiries
about the where abouts of the Istrian.
‘The Allendona,' said the captain,
‘left Newcastle-On-Tyne on Jan. 27, and
a rougher voyage in my thirty-two years’
experience at sea I have never seen.’
When asked about the Istrian, Capt.
Bartlett said it looked hard for her, and
simply shook his head. When asked the
difference in time between Liverpool and
Newcastle to this port, Capt. Bartlett
| stated that It was two days, or In other
words, the Istrian should have reached
i here two days before he did, provided
i she took the same course. She is sup
’ posed .to have taken a different route
and a much longer one; and, moreover,
she left three days ahead.
"Fifteen days is a long voyage between
Liverpool and here. It is a well known
fact that the Istrian could not possibly
have more than twenty-two days coal,
as she had over 2,100 tons of cargo. Her
commander, John Cramer, who was in
the Chesapeake and Ohio line for some
time, is very popular here. It is thought
that there were about thirty-five others
on the Istrian.
HOOTENJS DEATH.

Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 19.—Chief of Po
lice Phillips has received from W. F.
Hooten of Jackson, Ga., a long letter of
: inquiry as to the fate of his brother,
I "Berry Hooten,” whose body was buried
here last Sunday. Mr. Hooten is evidently
’ altogether in ignorance as to the cause
of his brother’s death, the last information
he received being such as to lead him
to believe he would recover from his
wound. He is very anxious to learn all
the details of his death, and copies of
newspapers were forwarded him to-day.
Mme. Bide of Paris made a specialty
of stealing pipes. When finally smoked
out by the poflee, she had collected 2,000.

Washington, Feb. 19.—Another day was
spent by the House to-day In consideration
of the naval appropriation bill, without
disposing of it. The proceedings were
marked by several spirited passages
between Mr. Sayers, chairman of the com
mittee on appropriations and members of
the committee on naval affairs, over
amendments offered by the former to re
duce the amounts carried in the bill. Only
in two of these was the Texas member
successful, and then the amounts were
insignificant.
At the beginning of the- consideration
of the bill. Chairman O’Neil, dem., of
Massachusetts, overruled the point of
order made yesterday by Mr. Sayers
against the proposed increase of the force
of enlisted men in the navy, holding that,

isting statutes limited the number to 9,000
men.
From this ruling Mr. Sayers appealed,
but the committee of the whole sustained
the chair—l 43 to 37. And against this Mr.
Sayers uttered his earnest protest.
In the course of the day several other
important matters were acted upon by
the House. The joint resolution reported
yesterday by the committee on ways and
means directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to suspend the shipment in bond
through the United States of goods des
tined for the free zone of Mexico was
passed. Also a bill authorizing the Presi
dent to appoint Gen. Don Carlo's Buell, a
colonel on the retired list of the army.
A conference was agreed to on the agri
cultural appropriation bill.
The report of the conferees upon the
joint resolution extending from March 1
to April 15, 1895, the time within which
income tax returns may be made, was
agreed to. ,
The statement of the conferees was as
follows: “The effect of the action on the
first amendment of the Senate is to allow
the owner of real estate to deduct the
amount necessarily paid for fire insurance
from the Income from the same, when
making his returns. It applies only to
real estate. It does not enlarge in other
respects the amount of deductions that
may be made. Under the income tax law
deduction might be made for necessary
repairs, but not for - betterments. This
provision remains, and is not enlarged*
by the amendments agreed upon.
“The effect of the second amendment i«
to require corporations to return the tax
list or corporate property, and relieve the
individual from the necessity of doing so.
It is agreed to by the conferees to pre
vent the possibility of double taxation.
Whilst the law guarded against this, it
was thought not improper to add any addi
tional assurance thereof that was neces
sary. The amendment added by the con
feree® to the second amendment frees em
ployers from tho necessity of returning
the names and salaries of their employes
except when called for by the commission
er, or to verify the returns of employes.
For that purpose the right will still exist.
“From the third amendment (limiting
interrogatories tax payers shall be re
quired to answer to those specifically pro
vided in the act) the Senate conferees!
recede. This was thought best not only
for the government but for the tax
payer.”
The House, at 5:10 o’clock, adjourned
until noon to-morrow. ,
SAD FATE OF A CAPTAIN.
He ntid Two of His Crew Believed to
Have Been Drowned.
Darien, Ga., Feb. 19.—Capt. Thomas
McLean of the British bark Valona,
loading at Sapelo, left his vessel, in a
small hoat, for Darien on Thursday af
ternoon and has not been heard from
since. He was accompanied by two of
the crew. Tug boats are now searching
for the boat. It is thought that it must
either have capsized or been driven up
in the marsh, where the occupants must
have starved or frozen to death. Capt.
Patterson of the tug Mallonec has just re
turned from a search, and reports find
ing the boat bottom up near Suther
land’s bluff, and there is no longer any
doubt as to the party being lost.
The owners of the Valona have cabled
instructions to put a new master in
charge of the vessel and let her proceed
on her voyage. Capt. McLean has sev
eral friends in Darien, who deeply re
gret the terrible accident.
John F. Dismukes, president of the
First National Bank of St. Augustine,
Fla,, is here on a visit to his daughter,
Mrs. R. D. Wylly. Mr. Dismukes will
spend several days here, and his numer
ous friends are endeavoring to make his
stay very pleasant. A hunt on the ad
joining sea islands for to-day and to
morrow has been tendered him by a party
of local sportsmen.
