From Wnycross.
Waycross, Ga., May 17.—Two fires ore
reported from Doetortown. F. E. Breen
lost his six-room dwelling house, wirhout
a dollar of insurance. The other Maze
was at the mill, operated by the AUamnha
Lumber Company. The dry kiln ond a
lot of lumber belonging to Charles Col

Miss Katie Pitman and Mr. Henry Pit
man were married in this city yesterday
about noon. The contracting parties were
from near Glenmore in this county, and
the wedding took place at the Maine Ho

emony.
A marriage is reported from Folkston.
The high contracting parties were Mrs.
Parker and Mr. Dock Higginbotham of
Nassau county, Florida. Justice Stewait
performc-l the ceremony.
A rather peculiar accident is reported
from Camden county. Rev. Mr. Dodd, a
local Methodist preacher, who is engaged
in colportage work, drove into Mill creek,
and in some way His horse got drowned,
and he lost fine lot of Oxford Bibles. He
had gotten lost, and driving up to an oM
log landing, supposed it was a ford, and
drove In, and in addition to losing his
horse and books, had a narrow escape
himself.
The County Commissioners expect to
make some decided Improvements in the
pauper farm. They propose to cut up the
large tract of land owned by the county
Into pints of four or five acres, and build
a cottage on each in order that destitute
families may occupy the cottages and
cultivate the little patches, thereby en
abling them to make a living for them
selves. Of course, the entire plantation
will be under the supervision of the coun
ty farm superintendent, as at present.
Charley McDonald’s friends* are con
gratulating him upon his election as coun
ty tax receiver, over three opponents.
On Sunday. May 27. an interesting ser
vice Is to take place at Trinity Church. It
will be the last service in the old church
which has stool the storms for well on
to thirty years. Nearly all the churches
in town were organized in the old buil.l
ing. and it is said that more people have
been converted wifhin its walls than In
any other church in this section. If not In
the state.
RECOGMZISD HI SHARD’S BONES.
Roma rlt able Case of Montlficulioa
Occur* in Tnmpa.
From the Tampa Tribune.
Not every woman knows her htisbanl
well to identify his skeleton two
years after death. But such was the claim
made in. this city yesterday by Mrs. J. J.
Sullivan, and so well did she substantiate
k that Sheriff Spencer allowed her to take
away with her a ghastly relic which hs
had been treasuring for over twelve
months.
A little over a year ago, the sheriff was
notified that a skeleton had been found in
the woods near Six-Mile creek. The sheriff
went to the scene and took charge of the
unknown remains. He advertised their
finding, made diligent inquiry to discover
any case of disappearance that could be
connected with this particular skeleton,
but w r as unsuccessful. H* locked th'
bones, which were ihose of a man. care
fully away In one of his clew-depositori s,
with the idea that they might some day
be useful in clearing up a great murder
mystery.
Forgotten, the skeleton rested, and th'
temporary sensation was forgotten with it
until yesterday, when Mrs. Sullivan < ame.
Mrs. Sullivan lives away up in a corner
of the county. Two years ago, her hus
band started on a trip to Tampa. He did
not rer.ch here; he did not return home.
She made up her mind that he had al un
done! her, but never lost hope that she
W" ulfl some day ind him again.
East Saturday Mrs. Sullivan was e’ean-
Ing out nn old wardrobe at her h> me.
Among other articles inside, she found
several old newspapers. One was a copy
of the Tampa Weekly Tribune, of last
year's date. Mrs. Sullivan is one o' the
few’ people in Hillsborough county who do
not take the Tribune, and she wondered
how this copy came into the house. She
glanced over th piper. It contained ar>
account of Sheriff Spencer’s discovery of
the mysterious skeleton.
“What if that should be the remains
of John?" she asked herself, in real melo
dramatic style.
The more she thought about it the more
M s Sullivan became convinced that the
Six-Mile creek skeleton was that of her
missing husband.
Acting on the thought, she came to
Tampa. Yesterday, she appeared at the
sheriff’s office, and asked to see the skele
ton.
Sheriff Spencer had almost forgotten the
incident. He had to colle t his thoughts
txfire hs could remember where he had
left if.
When the bones were pulled from their
hiding-place, Mrs. Sullivan made a care
ful examination, particularly of the skull.
She breathed a siyh of relief.
“Yes, that’s John.’* she paid to the
Fheiiff. “I’d know h<m anywhere. That’s
Just his bight, there’s the two upper teeth
that were kicked cut by the colt, there’s
the missing ilnge- on the right hand, and
there’s the dent in the skull. Yes, its him.
If you please. Mr. Sheriff I’ll Just lake
these along with me and give him a de
c nt bur al.”
The sheriff could not hut be satisfied
at this complete identification. He deliv
ered over his ghastly keepsake.
But the mystery remains unsolved—if
th se were the remains of Sullivan, how
did Sullivan meet his death?
KITCHENER HOC TED.
Pretty Butch Girl Outgeneraled the
llcto of Kliurtoum.
London, May s.—Of all the stories told
by the war correspomk-nta of Gen. Kitch
ener this is by far the best:
“While Lord Kitchener was engaged in
■oppressing the Prelska rebellion he or
dered the deiitructk'n of n certain farm
house. Not seeing any signs of h!s or
ders being carried out. he role over with
his rtnff and found an Interesting eiiua
otion. In the doorway of the doomed
farm stood a pretty young Dutch girl, hT
hands clawping the doer post and her eye a
flashing Are from beneath her dainty sim
bonnet .
“The Irish sergeant in charge of the de
etruction parly was vainly endeavoring to
persuade £cr o le. them pa:<s in, but to
all his blandishments of “Arrah, darlint!
Wish*, now. ncushll,’ etc., the maiden
turned a deaf ear, and a deadlock pie

“Kitchener’s sharp ‘What’s this?’ put a
climax o the sor>*>. Th? girl evidently
gue*>ed that this was the terrible chief of
staff, and her lips trembled in spife of
herself.
“Kitchener gazed rourly nt her, stand
ing bravely, thotuh teorfu ly, there, and
turning to the military tec rotary, ‘Put
down,' he growled, ‘that the commander's
orders witn reference to the destruction
of nightman's farm could not be carried
out, owing to unexpected opposition. For

11EAt FORT ENTERS A PROTEST.
M/iss Meeting Declares Against Re
moval of Xnvnl Station.
Beau'ort. S. C., May 17.—A general ma~s
meeting of colored and white ci izens w s
held here yesterday to prote t against thi
removal of the Port Royal raval sta'ior*.
at which speeches were delive ed, and th
following resolutions adopted:*
“Whereas, we have heard through the
newspapers that ihe Senate Commifce m
Naval Affairs has adopted the armndment
of Senator B. R. Tillman, changing the
appropriation in the naval appropriation
hill tdr the dry dock at Port
Royal, and the same to be expended fer the
erect ion of a dry dock at or rear Charles
ton'. S. C.. therefore be it
“Resolved, That w* , the ci iz n=* * f
Beaufort, S. C., have the honor to call 'he
attention of the Congress of the United
States to the efforts now being node by
the Senate Naval Committee io abtndon
the navy yard now at Port Royal, S. C.,
and establish it at Charleston, S. C.
“Be it remembered, that it was in thi
historic harbor that the first naval bate
of the Civil War was fought wish decisive
results. It was here that the great baul 1 -
ships, headed by the Wabash, and awing
twenty-four feet of water, had no difficulty
in sailing Into our harbor, which affords
creater depth of w it* r than can le ftuiTv
in any other Southern port.
“Be it frulher remembered tha.t subse
quently a board of disfiirguished naval of
ficers, composed of Admiral Pav' and D. Por
ter, Vice Admiral S. C. Rowan, Rear Ad
miral C. H. Davis, Chief Engineer T. W.
King and Naval Constructor. T. W. Eas
ley. having visited and inspected the const'
of South Carolina with a vi -w of recom
mending the best place for *he establish
ment of a navy yard, decided that Po t
Royal was the most suitable. (Ri'e are
to Ex. Doc. No. S, Foriy-fourth Congress,
Second Congress).
“These distinguished officers reported as
follows: ‘The harbor of Port Royal, S. C.,
and Its tributaries present great advan
tages and offer the neresasry d< p h <f
water and facilities for entering <he port
without risk to vessels of war. Port R y tl
bay is a noble sheet cf water, undoubted
ly the finest harbor on our Southern cast.’
“Resolved, That there is not a pilot or
seafaring man that has ever visited tills
port who does not testify to the incompar
able advantages of the harbor for its
depth of water, breadth of anchorage fa
cilities beyond any other on the Southern
coast. Now that expenditure of money
has been mode- and the navy yard has
withstood every test. It is proposed to re
move It to Charleston, which cannot afford
the depth of water required.
“Resolved, That we appeal to the Con
gress cf the United States to consider well
the propofci/ion of the removal of the naval
station from: Port Royal before conjmit
ting themselves to th® extravagance of
abandoning a work already established. It
is well known that this harbor has never
required dredging to accommodate vessels
of twenty-six feet and over, as shown by
the report of pilots affixed.
“Resolved, That the Hon. Robert Smalls,
collector of the port of Reaufort. S. C., be
requested to proceed to Washington, or to
use whatever influence he may have with
those In authority, in showing up the ad
vantages of Port Po-yal bar and harbor
over that of Charleston, in retaining the
nival station nt Port Royal.
“Resolved, That wo, the citizens of
Beaufort. S. C.. do hereby enter our soimen
protest against any measure looking to
the removal of said navy yawl.
“Beaufort, C., May 14, 1900.—We, th©
undersigned pilots of 'Port Royal and Sf.
Helena bar. do hereby testify that we
have handled \’esels over Port Royal bnr
of twenty-six feet draught and over, and
have in one instance brought In a derelict,
the British ship Astoria, drawing thirty
feet of water, and will not hesitate at any
time to bring in P vessel drawing twenty
seven feet of wnter. The said Astoria was
towed here from Charleston bar. All the
vessels of war that have ever been into
this port have been brought in properly
without the least delay, including the In
diana,. fT** os, Maine and Philadelphia.
