Newspaper Page Text8 AT THE STORM'S MERCY. THE SCHOONER AN Nil AND MIL- LiRD WRECKED The Vessel Picked Up Off Tybse Buoy and Towed Into the River-Her Rig ging Oone and Nothtng But the Masts Left Above Her Deck-The Crew Seventy-two Houre at the Fumps Without Food or Water—A Part of the Vessel's Cargo Lost. The schooner Annie and Millard towed into port and up to the city by the tug Jacob Paulsen at midday yesterday, waterlogged. The crew is in an exhausted condition. The vessel aailed from Savannah last Tuesday with a cargo of 498,000 feet of lum ber, shipped by Dale, Dixon S Cos., part G the lumber being carried on deck. On leaving Tybee the schoo er encount ered the wind from the s >jtbw**; moderate up to between 6 and 7 o'clock that night, when it set in from the northwest, canting around to northeast, blowing a gale, which continued up to yesterday morning. Tues day night the vessel labored heavily in head seas until she sprung a leak. All hands were then set to work at the pumps. THE LEAK KKPT INCREASING. The wind and sea were terrific, and not withstanding the pumps were kept con stantly going, the leak kept increasing until finally the vessel became waterlogged and unmanageable. At 2 o'clock in tbe after noon, twenty-five miles off Hunting Island, it was decided by Capt. Graham to keep in for Tybee bar. He arrived and anchored off the sea buoy at 3 o’clock tbe next morn ing. where the vessel lay with her flag flying union down until yesterday morning, when she was seen by the tug Jacob Paulsen. While auchored off the buoy the storm was at Its bight and it was impossible to keep the vessel on top, the sea making clean sweeps over her. The deck load was washed away and everything movable was carried off. The forward house was stove in, the main rigging, including chain plates and rails, was carried away and the sails blown to rags. BUFFERING OF THE CREW. The crew suffered tor water, as early In the gale the veesd’s water casks wer* lost. The provisions were destroyed by salt water and tbe crew hod little to eat except some raw ham and canned beef, which was found in the laaaretto, and some raw Irish potatoes. They lost all their clothing, which was washed out after the bouse was destroyed, and tbe clothing they wore had been drenched with sea water. Tbe strangest part of his experienoe, Capt. Graham says, is that he should have lain off Tybee from 2 o’clock Thursday morning until yesterday without assistance being offered, as his signal flag, union down, wae flying during the entire time. CHABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE. He saw a light schooner bound to the northward Thursday cross his stern, but ■he kept off and made no effort to assist him, although he says that he could see one of the crew on her deck with a glass to his eye* taking a look at the Aunle and Millard. Ono or two tugs also saw her an chor, but supp ised she was only laying to, having Just left port and thinkiug she had put back for a harbor, not observing her union down. The captain of the wrecked reseel Is now awaiting instructions from the owners. The schooner will, of course, have to dis charge and haul oat ,as it is impossible to keep afloat. Her decks are now level with the water. NO NEWS OF THE CHARLOTTE. The Lest Seen of Her Was Off Tybee With Her bails Gone. There are as yet no tidings of the schooner Charlotte. Collector Johnson’s telegram to the commander of the revenue cutter Bout well, asking him to look out for the missing vessel, was received, but the cutter was unable to go out on account of the rough weather, not haring enough coal to venture to sea on a search. She returned to Savan nah yesterday. Capt. Rogers sani be spoke the schooner Mary J., w hich is also owned by Capt. Fitz gerald of the Charlotte, and the master of the Mary J. expressed no fears for her safety. He said he felt sure she would bring up kafe some where to the southward. There were three small schooners anchored yesterday inside of Cockspur, and it may be that one <• f teem is the Charlotte, although it is believed if she were there Capt. Fitz gerald would have made an effort to get to Savannah. it turns out that the Charlotte was not in Tybee roads when Tuesday’s gale set in. Tue captain of the Tangier says that the last be saw of her was Tuesday afternoon. Bhe was then outside of Tybee. All her sails were blown away, and she was running before the wind. The Tangier managed to beat her way in over Doboy bar. It is probable if the Charlotte labored very heavily that she would start leaking, os she is an old vessel. Her cargo, wbioa was rough rice, would swoll it water got into it, in which case the vessel would be doomed with all on board unless they wore taken off by some passing vessel. SLAIN WITH A SJANTLINO. Rumors of a Tragedy la Laurens County Near Dublin. Reports were current here yesterday that there had been a tragedy in Laurens county; that a young man named P. W. Smith had killed W. P. Brace well last Monday at a saw-mill, thirteen miles from Dublin, formerly owned by Smith and his father. Smith and his father had a partner named Hall, ana they had some difficulty about the saw-mill property. Hall brought a suit against the Smiths, nud last July the Smiths were in Dublin attending court. One afternoon the elder Smith left Dub lin on foot and lias never i,een heard of since. The younger Smith made a diligeut search for his father, but failing to find him returned to his home aud sold tbe saw mill to a man named Jasper Ray. On tbe afternoon of the tragedy W. D. Bracewell went to the saw-mill to see Hay, and be and Smith, it is said, accused Brace well witb being connected in some way with the disappearance of his father. Bracewell denied the accusation, and as he turned away from Smith the latter Btruck him iu the bead witb a piece of scantling. The blow was a severe one, and Bracewell died from tbe effects of it within a few hours. Smith disappeared and a reward was of fered for his arrest, it is thought that Smith did not intend to kill Bracewell, but that he struck a harder blow than he in tended.

Tbe Mutual Trading Company, which has been conducting a retail grocery business at Whitaker and Stave streets, assigned yes terday for the benefit of its creditors. C. F. Law is the assiguee. The company’s 11 Abilities are about (6,000, with assets of (9,000. The causes which led to the company’s failure, it is stated, were the failure cf some of the stockholders to pay their subscriptions and the general dullness of trade. A meeting of the stockholders was held night before last, and after the condition of affairs was learned a resolution was adopted to make an assignment and close out tbe business. W. B. Sturtevant has been the manager of the Mutual Tradiug Company. Many people who heard of the assign ment confounded the Mutual Co-operative Association witn ths failed concern. The Mutual Co-operative is carrying on a suc cessful business at Barnard aDd State streets, and the officers were naturally a little exercised at people getting the im psession that it had failed. BADLY USED UP. Sis Goodrich Stabbed la the Face and Hit on the Head With a Lamp. Sis Goodrich, a mulatto girl, was stabbed last night at her house in York street lane by George Forbes, and was afterward hit in the head with a lamp thrown by another girl. Forbes stabbed Ihe girl three times In the face, making ugly but not dangerous wounds. Aa be was running from tbe bouse a girl pioked up a lamp and hurled it after him. Instead of hitting Forbes she struck the wounded girl, aud made several additional injuries. The screams of the in jured girl attracted five policemen to the scene, but Forbes couldn’t be found.

Dec. 14, at which tbe members aud tbetr friends will be served a collation. Interior Decoration of Stores. Interior decoration of stores has become an art. The decoration and furnishing of some of Savannah’s stores are among the handsomest in the oouutry. An example of wliat can be done in the way of adorn ment with plate glass and native woods U saaa at tbe South Side pharmacy which has been almost filled with plate mirrors set lu yellow pine and oak. Tbe work, although cosily, adds to the attractiveness of any store, but that at the South Side pharmacy equals any that has yet been designed for Savannah. Slashed ttach Other With Knives. Two colored women had a fight on Price street, near South Broad, yesterday about 12:30 o’clock, aud tried to dissect each other’s anatomy with knivos. A mau was the cause of the row.

THE DUAL KXPHOTBD TO BB CON SUMMATED IN TWO WEIRD. Tbe Negotiations Being Conducted by Agente of a Foreign Syndicate with tbe Utmost Secrecy ee to the Back ers of the Consolidation—The Basis of the Deal and What It W ill Mean to the Rice Industry. The rice mill oombine, intended to con solidate all the mills in the south under one control, will probably be consummated within tbe next three wees a The last op tion secured was to run ninety days, and sixty days of this time have already ex pired. Tbe report of tbe deal caused considera ble talk several weeks ago, but nothing fur ther was heard of it, and it was generally supposed that the capitalists who were looking Into the investment had given up the ides. It has been intimated, however, by some of the rice men here within the last day or two that there wae still something In it. ABOUT FIXED NOW. A gentleman whose personal relations are very friendly with the prime movers in the scheme, told a Morning News reporter that from information be bad received he was satisfied tbe deal would be con summated at an early date. The agents of the capitalists who are backing the move have been quietly at work for several weeks investigating matters aud arranging details, and now everything is complete for tbe deal. The agents cabled full reports of their investigation In Europe, and these reports are said to have been very favorable. A strong firm of German bankers is backing tbe move, and the negotiations have been made through the firm’s London branch. Their movements have been made with the greatest secrecy, and the outside publio has been kept in entire ignorance of their intentions. don’t know who they are dealing with. Tbe rice mill men themselves were igno rant ss to tbe parties with whom they were dealing and knew nothing of them except through their agents, aud many of the mill men had little Idea that the deal would be consummated. The best known represent ative of the enterprise was Mr. Pembroke W. Jones of Wilmington. Mr .Jones is intimately associated with H. N. Flagler, which has caused the name of Mr. Flagler and that of the Slardaad Oil Company, of which he Is a vice president, to be associated with the move. It is not known that Mr. Flagler or any other American capitalist is interested iu the deal, which is believed to be entirely iu the hands of tbe English and German capi talists. BACKED BT HEAVY CAPITAL. The movers in the matter have ample capital. It is un lerstood that their first de cision was to pay half cash for the mills, and the other half iu Certificates of the con solidated ooinpany controlling all the mills. They concluded, however, that they pre ferred to oontrol ihe mills entirely, and decided to pay cash for the whole. If the deal is consummated, as it is believed it will be, they will pay cash down for the prop erty. This will bring a large sum of money, amounting to several million dollars into the south. The Morning News informant, who is a well posted business man, said that he be lieved the deal will be of great benefit to the rice industry in this country. He said if the capitalists bought the mills they would waut rice to pound, and a great deal more of it than is now handled by the mills. NOT LIKELY to INCREASE THE PRICE. On that account they would not use tbe trust to raise the price of milling on the planters, but would offer them liberal in ducements to increase their acreage, and would doubtless t>e williug to make ad vances to reliable planters. It would be to their interests to increase the production of rice as muoh as possible. The name of Hamilton Disston has not been mentioned iu connection with the deal, but it is known that Mr. Dlaston was In Savannah about ten days ago, and that while here he received several long tele grams from New Orleans about rice, or the rice mills. After spending a day or two here he left, going directly to New Orleans. LOCAL PERSONAL. W. C. Westmoreland of Waycross was in the oity yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Osgood of Atlanta are stopping at the De Soto. Miss Kate Brown, who spent tbe summer at the north, has returned. F. C. Lovell sailed yesterday for New York o.i the Chattahoochee. Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Mack Jsnklns will be glad to learn that be is much improved, after an illness of three weeks. C. P. Conner of Boston and Mias Nellie C. McCarthy of this city, will be married at tbe cathedral Tuesday morning fat 11 o’clock. Passed Assistant Surgeon H. R.

DEEP WATER HIS WORK. OONGBBBSMAN LESTHR TO GO TO WA6HINOTON NEXT WEEK. Be Will Make It His Business to Look After the Appropriation for tbe Harbor Improvement at the Coming Session—The Silver Ques tion Another Matter In Which He Is Interested Hie Choice for Speaker. Congressman Lester will go to Washing ton to begin hia congressional labors next week. The question which will interest him most particularly the coming session will be deep water for Savannah. He is going to make a strong light for an appropriation, and he thinka the chances of sucoees are very bright. The two moet important questions which will be before congress, said Con gressman Lester yesterday, are the tariff and coinage. He has no doubt about a tariff reform bill being passed by the House, but doesn’t care to predict Us fate in the Senate. “The financial question,” said he, “can’t be kept off, however much such a course might be desired. Something has to be done about it, aud I believe the House and Senate will pass a free coinage bill. President Harrison, of course', will veto it. I don’t like to see the question brought up by con gress, but I don't think it nan be avoided.” The session. Congressman Lester said, will hardly be as lively os the last one. Nothing can ever equal that. Heed won’t be in the ohair, but he is pretty sure to per form from the floor. The ex-speaker is a smart fellow, said the congressman, and likes controversy. Tbo next presidential campaign. Con gressman Lester thinks, will depend largely upon the work of the approaching congress. Cleveland seems to have the inside track for the nomination now, but Col. Lester Is not prepared to predict that be will keep it. “Blaine will get the republican nomina tion if be wants it,” he said. "Neither President Harrison nor any other republican need ask for it if Blaine decides to go in.” Col. Lester was asked about the speaker ship. Crisp is his man and he believes he will be elected. He has read considerable about Mills’ chances recently, but he will not change his opinion concerning Crisp’s chances until a negative vote convinces him otherwise.
