A Sailor Lost from the British Steam
er Bencroy.
Savannah, Feb. 6.—[Special]-John
Lam bell, a sailor belonging to the Brit
ish steamship Bencroy, accidentally fell
overboard and was drowned early yes
terday morning. The vessel is lying at
the wharf of the Central press, taking
on cotton for Liverpool.
It became necessary to sparthe ship
off from the wharf, and the boatswain
and Lantbell went ashore to do the
work. The boatswain stood on the
end of the spar, while Lambell went out
on the spar to secure it to the ship.
•Somehow he lost his balance and fell
into the river between the steamer and
the dock. He came up to the surface
once and floated about ten feet, and a
line was thrown to him which almost
encircled him, but he made no effort to
catch hold of it, and went down again
and did not reappear. A boat from the
steamer was lowered inside of two min
utes after the man fell, but it was too
late to reach him before he went down
the second time.
The grappliug irons were put to work
dragging over and around the spot
where the man disappeared, but the
tide was running up stroug, and they
failed to recover the body. The flag of
the steamer was at half-mast through
out the day. Lambell was a native of
Falmouth, England, and was 22 years
of age. He was described by Capt.
Benicke, the master of the vessel, as a
sober, industrious man, and a good sea
man.

AFRAID OF REPORTERS.
Officers on the “Mile Square 1 ' Fear an
Expose of Their Suspicious Actions.
Pieree, S. D., Feb. 6.—[Sepeial.]—
A great sensation was caused to-day by
the announcement that W. H. Kcphart,
reporter for the Daily Free Press had
gone across the river to Fort Pierre,
with Fred. Pettigrew, a resident there,
and brother of United states Senator
Pettigrew, and had been arrested by
order of the colonel commanding the
troops there and escorted back to this
side by a detachment of soldiers. Col
onel Tassin, commanding the troops at
Fort Pierre, lias also issued public no
tice warning reporters as representa
tives of newspapers against crossing
the Missouri River or trespassing upon
the reservation with the threat that if
they disobey they would be arrested
and put in the guard-house. Recently
Colonel Tassin published a communica
tion in the daily papers in this city
tating that work upon public improve
ments of every nature on the “Mile
Square” had been stopped and new
settlers would not be molested. It was
discovered, howeved, that certain Fort
Pierre men who seemed to stand in
with the troops were going ahead with
' mproreinents, building houses on the
best lots on the town site for the pur
pose of holding them, contrary to law.
[t is alleged that certain army officers
have received a bonus of valuable prop
erty to wink at this infraction of their
orders. The newspap-rs of this oity
exposed the scheme. This led to the
arrest of Kephart and the issuance of
the warning of other newspaper men.
Snook’s Furniture Store Burned.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 6.—[Special.]—
There was a $5,000 fire in the Snook
furnitnre building on Marietta street
last night.
Had it not been for the quick and ex
cellent work of the fire department, the
entire block trom Broad to Peachtree
might have been destroyed.
About 10 o’clock the flames were seen
leaping from the basement of the build
ing on the Walton street side.
The alarm was quickly turned in and
the department wtes on hand in less than
two minutes. Chief Joiner realized at
once that he had a hard fight before
him, and began work with a vim.
The flames had burst from the cellar
and were licking the side of the build
ing to the very top. Iiwide the build
ing was full of dense Smoke, and the
wall of the ground floor was a sheet of
flame for a hundred feet.
A few minutes of hard work and the
fire was out, a fire which, at first, seem
ed unconquerable. An investigation
showed that: a cigar stump or something
of the kind, thrown into the cellar by a
passer-by, had ignited a large pile of
excelsior which burnod furiously. ;
In the cellar was stored an enormous
uautity of cheap furniture, which was
damaged considerably. On the next
floor, was where the greatest damage
was done was stored a lot of handsome
suits.
Persists In Taking His Own Life.
Perrt, Ga., Feb. 6—[Special]—The
jailer here fears that Butts, who is to
bang soon for the Miller murder and
conspiracy, will yet carry out his ex
pressed intention to commit suicide,
though every precaution against it is
taken.
The condemned criminal says he will
butt his brains out against the sills of
his cell door when he sees there is no
other hope of escaping the gallows, of
which he has great abhorrence.
Butts heard the preparations for the
execution with terror. He cries and
laments all the time { sometimes praying
and sometimes cursing. Johnson, who
is to die with him for the same crime,
laughs heartily at Butts.
POLITICS IN MORMONDOM.
Preparations in Utah for Evading the
Will of the People.
Salt Lake Citt, Utah, Feb. 6.—[Spe
cial.]— Ex-Iuspeetor Bonfleld, of Chi
cago, in an interview this evening with
Editor Dougale, of the Deseret News
(Mormon), replied to the charges that
there was a Mormon plot to implicate
the leaders of the Liberal (anti-Mor-
mon) party, through detectives, in a va
riety of scandals, and thereby defeat
the Liberal party at the coming elec
tions. Mr. Bonfleld said he earns here
last November at the instance of a
number of gentlemen who inferred that
the frauds at the Ogden City election
would be repeated. He was requested
to do nothing more than obtain proofs
of election frauds. He found that the
Liberal meant to carry the election,
and employed detectives to obtain evi
dence of fraud. Many instances of ille
gal registration, and colonization of vot
ers were discovered, and hundreds of
non-iesidents have had their names
added to the registry lists. “There is
indisputable evidence,” the ex-inspect-
tor said, “that the registrars hunted up
and rei'ist'-red Liberals and evaded the
People’s voters.”

The Kabo corset, besides
being tough, so tough in its
“bones” that they can’t be
broken or kinked or rolled
up or slipped or shifted, has i
flexible loop eyelets, instead
of metal ones which cut the
corset laces.
In no respect will the
Kabo corset fail in a year,
unless the steels break. No
way has yet been discovered
to make unbreakable corset
steels.
If the Kabo “bones” give
out in a year, bring it back
to us and get every cent of
your money. •’>,
If, after wearing the Kabo
two or three weeks, you don't
like it, bring it back and get
your money.
