Naval Store* Yard Sea Board Air Line
Pier No. 3. on Hutchinson'S Inland. They
were on their way across the river to
their homes in the city, when the boat.
which were ten men, and whi h was In

broadside on by a heavy swoll from the
steamer Harry O. Day and swamped.
Four of the men when they saw that the
boat was going under Jumped overboard
M id kept afloat until they were picked up
by boats. The six men who were drown

so many of hem clinging to one side that
tha lioat was turned upside down and
drifted down the river In that position.
The watchman on the Horry G. Imy

The news of the disaster spread and In

after the accident, I ait secured # little in
formation other than that th men had
Iteen employed on Pier 3. some In the na

the cargo of the iris
It Is the opinion of ll those who knew
of the accident and who are familiar
with the practices of the colored work
men employed on the island. h.t the
drowned men alone are resjHmsihle for
♦heir death. The Hen Board Air Bine
gives free passage in the steam launch
to all of Its workmen lo*h coming amt
going, but many of th* men. In fact the
majority rather than wall a few minutes
for the launch which would land #h*m at
the Bui! street dock, prefer to cross in row
boat# to the Hast Broad street dock which
is nearer their homes In order to make 4 " 1
these trips back and forth as cheap ns
possible the boats are filled as full ns

Then Walker drew his bayonet and d

Thr M. Lu*h!ln-Rturtrv4nt receivership
rase In Ihe Superior Court took a some
what sensational turn yesterday, due lo
the removal by Mr. Ouille Bourquin, who
claims lo be the purchaser of the good*
taken by Mr. Sturtevant from the store
of Mr. last week, of a por
tion of these goods In apparent della nee of
the order of the court, placing all of Ihe
goods and asset* of the firm In possession
of either party In the hands 'of the tem
porary receiver.
The Issue, as stated In yesterday's Morn
ing News, is over the settlement of a
partnership between Messrs. McLaughlin
and Sturtevant, which the latter attempts
to bring io a focus by removing a large
share of the goods from the store oc
cupied by Ihe Arm. This action. Mr. Mc-
Laughlin. contended In Ills petition to the
issurt. to be unwarranted and illegal, and
also Ihe further alleged action of his part
ner In disposing of the goods at a figure
named and refusing to turn over the re
ceipts. He accordingly applied to the
.■ourt and secured the appointment of Mr
I. I > I Roe ho as temporary receiver, with
a restraining order enjoining Mr. Slurle
vani from further Interfering with or dl*
posing of the assets pending the action of
the court.
The la'er trouble seems to have been
due partly to a misapprehension on the
isirt of the receiver, who agreed lo a sug
gestion by Mr 81 unevsnl that he take
•in Inventory of the goods to corroboraie
the one furnished by Bturtevant lo Mr
Meletughlin. and see whether there were
any articles not included in the Inven
tory or which were Ihe private proiwrty
of Mr. McLaughlin.
The goods removed by Mr. Riiirtev.ini
ha.l been stored In the rear of No. 17 Fon
gres.- streel, west, and Mr. larß-sne
made an engagement to meet him there
al 11 o'elork When he arrived at 11:30
o'clock he found Mr. Qullle Bourquin
heeling the good- Into wagons for the
purpose of mo\jng them to a store under
Odd Fellows' Hall. He regarded (hi* pro
ceeding as somewhat Irregular, hut was
al loss how lo proeeed until hi* attor
ney* arrived and Informed him that the
order of the court positively forbade In
terference and plaeed all the aasels In
the possession of Ihe receiver.
Both the attorney* and the re elver en
tered a decided protest against Ihe re
moval of Ihe goods, hut Mr. Bourquin an
notinced that he had purchase.! the goods
previous lo Ihe flilng of ihe |tellllon for a
receiver, and that he had legit advice to
Ihe effect lhal he had full right to make
such disposition a* he pleased of them
Mr. Stflricvant • pr/eent and apparent
ly-consenting lo ihe temoval of the goods
though he claimed at (he heating Itter
lhal he was only present for (he purpose
of pointing out such goods as were the
personal property of Mr. McLaughlin,
The contention attracted a crowd, and
there was quite a lively scene In Ihe lane
for a time Seeing that there was noth
ing to he seComptlshed by argument, ihe
attorneys for Mr. Melaiughltn withdrew
and prepared a statement to the court
The result was that go attachment was
Imtnedlaiely Issued for Ihe goods, and an
order was Issued for the arr/si of
Messrs. Bturtevant and Bourquin for con
tempt ot court. The hearing was set for
I o'clock, at which lime all of the parties
appeared with their attorney*, Mr. W. F.
Blater representing Messrs. Bturtevant
and Bourquin
Mr Blat*r freed himself of any suspic
ion of contempt hv stating that while he
had leen Ihe attorney for Mr Bturte
vanl ho had not represented Mr Bour
qtiln. and it was not hy his advice that
the removal of the good* had b en undor
tak n. He also stated that h* had not
seen a copy of the restraining order until
the affair In <".lngres* lane and had not
had time to consider It. He asked for fur
ther time on this ae ounl and alo to pre
pare an answer lo the proere.llngs In be
half of hls ellnt and requested a post
ponement until in o'clock to-day.
. Mr McFaugnlln's attorn y* preferr-d to
go ahead with the case, hut were wining
lo agree to a postponement provided Ihe
Roods were plaeed in iwxsesslon of He
eelver L.-Kocht To this Mr Slater was
not dlp*“d lo agree, offering various
object tort* as to why hls client should not
surrender potßesslon of the gods. After
a brief conference with hi* clients, how
ever. he announced that lie would go
ahead with Ihe hearing, ttnd was given
until 5 o'clock to prepare th - answers of
hls clients.
In making rop y for Mr. Bourquin. Mr
Slater stated that hls client had received
no notice of the pending receivership, that
no paper from the court had been served
upon him and that he had not been made
a party to the receivership: that he had
bought certain personal property from Mr.
Sturtevant fbpt. 7, and that this probably
was in hls |M-ar*ahlc pose salon at the
time the order w granted. Any Intent
to violate the order " the court or to
show contempt was denied.
Mr Sturtevant'* reply and nied that he
had disobeyed the order of th* court In
any way and further denied the truth of
'he allegation* to this effect contained
In Ihe attachment pro-eedings.
The evidence was then begun. Mr La-
Roche wns put on the stand and narrated
the Incidents of**hc morning occurrence
V
take an Inventory of th( goods removed
hy Mr Sturtevant under the Impression
that Mr. Sturtevant was to remove the
goods nnd turn over the money which he
claimed to have received for them. He
was Informed a llllle later hy hls lawyer*
that the order of the court placed
the good* In hls possession. He found
Mr Bourquin removing the goods
The latter declined either to erase
removing the goods or to turn
over the keys to the receiver. A cer
tified copy of the receivership order was
exhibited lo Messrs. Bourquin and fkurle
vant, but they refused to let him have
llie corals He saw three or four wagon
load* removed.
Mr. Bourquin made a very Interesting
witness. He said he had bought the goods
from Sturtevant expecting to enter Into a
partnership with him Bturtevant. he
said, expected to buy Mdaiughlin's share
of the stock and then he and Bourquin
were to go Into partnership together.
"You expected to move everything out
of the store -hen except Mr McLaugh-
Itn?" humorously Inquired Judge Falll
gant.
!n arswer to que*(i-ms the witness said
t*at he oily entered Into negotiations
wltii Bturtevant for the purchase of the
goods Monday morning, when Bturtevant
came to hi* house about 7 o'clock Just as j
he was getting up This was th* first time
th* matter of the partnership had been
broached to him They concluded the j
trade In a few hours, th money being !
raid over In Mr, K, L Neidllnger's store
He bough! the good* without looking at
them, taking Bnirtevant's word that they
were ** t prerentrd The purchase price
was Mflh. to pny which he drew MW) from
tlfe bank, lock MO out of hla pocket and
**ve hie due bill f-r th* remainder. Mr
Pttirtevsnt to:d him th* th* firm had
dissolved. *nd that he. B'urterant. had
taken hi* rhar of the goods. He hod on
previous occasion*, he and. advanced
money to Me**-*, McLaughlin A Bturte
vant with which lo buy household goods.
