Men Evidently Miscalculated the
Identity of the Vessel or Thought
tile Bunkers Were Not to be Re
coaled.
N\«- Yuri, May 2 —When the Brit-
Jsli freight steamship Sir Hit-hard
Grenville, front the West Indies, ar
rived in port Captain Jones reported
the tragic death of two West Indian
Stowaways.
The vessel stopped at tiaif a dozen
West Indian ports, among them being
St. Lucia, where she coaled. It Is at
this port Captain Jones believes the
stowaways, who were negroes, man
aged to get aboard the vessel by lot
ting themselves down to «lie coal hunk
ers through the chutes. The men had
evidently miscalculated the time t*at
the steamship was going to remain at
St. Lucia and did not know- the ves
sol was to coal up. After they ha
reached the coal hunkers many tons
of coal were takeu on hoard and the
two stowaways were literally buried
alive.
• Nothing was known to the captain
or < row of the tragic death of the men
until the morning of April IS, aft. ,
the vessel had left Guantanamo loaded
with sugar for .New York, when orn
of the bodies slid through the eoa7
chute into the furnace room,
time the stokers were piling coal into
the furnace, while the vessel was mak
fug a hard fight against a northeaster
ly gale.
The sight of the body sent a shiver
through the stokers and caused them
to temporarily quit work.
Captain Jones was notified of the
discovery and after making sure that
the stowaway was dead ordered the
body buried In the sea.
Six days later tile stokers were
again horrified by another body which
came through the coal chute into the
furnace room;
A search was then made of the coal
bunkers, but no more bodies were
found.

Remains of Georgia Soldiers Unearth
ed at Antietam.
Martlnslmrg. \V. Vu„ May 2.—Work-
men repairing the canal near Antie
tam battlefield, on the Maryland side,
have unearthed the remains of two
confederates.
The skeletons were clothed in but n
part of the confederate uniform, which
was tolerably well preserved. The but
tons told that they were Georgians.
Two dirk knives, much rusted, were
found. Imbedded in the thigh hone of
one was one-third of a shell, which
evidently caused his death. Around
the ankle bones of one was a blue
■Ilk tie.
A score of years ngo a party was
here from fieorgia looking for the re
mains of two soldiers. They dug near
the locality, but failed to find the dead
and left without leaving their names.
The remains were Interred in Elm-
wood cemetery.
Selected Meats
can always be foundt
here. We handle
nothing but-the best,
and invite compari
son. Fish, Oysters
and chickens always
on hand.
