PRINCESS ANNE IN STORM.
Old Dominion Liner Had Severe
Ntght in Passage.
Norfolk. Va., Septemer 16.—The Old
Dominion liner Princess Anno. Captain
Tapley, from New York to Norfblk, with
a pl. Selig- r list Os 100, steamed slowly
into harbor tonight with her cargo badly
listed, ten hour, behind a ran that sliould
have consumed nineteen hours. The
Princess Anne left New’ York without
the slightest intimation of the fierce wind
blowing up the coast to meet her.
Tlie ship plung' d In ad on through the
blow am: as she mounted each suceessne
wav< net- :■ *-r* ws raced with terrific
speed. Finallx dawn broke, the wind lost
some of its force and the Princess Anne
began to make headway. Upon the ar
rival tonight one woman threw herself
I upon b- r knees upon the d*>ck and thank
• God for letting her reach land again.
Tiie .-tetimi ;• Gnj ondotc, of the Old Do
minion line, freight laden, which sailed
from New York three hours after the
Prince.-s Anne, had not been reported
from Cape llenry at I I o clock. Ihe
Princess Anne passed the .ape ar 6 p. m.
During th*. coui»- of the storm, ac
cording passengers, several members
of the crew refus*?d to obey orders issued
OJ Captain Tapley, and wanted to go
below. Captain Tapley drew a revolver
pointing it at th- crowd ordered them
-.gain to go to. work. they obeyed with
furthei demonstration and no charges
h :ve been preferred against the in* n.
That ther* was trouble cannot be con
firm*! from tin- ship's officers.
A verification of the munlty report has
bten secured from pa.--eng-rs. It was
the tore, of stokers that quit work, and
they were forced to resume by the cap
tain at revolver’s point. At the time of
the mutiny the ship was in only 16 fath
oms and drawing near the slime. It is
reported that sixteen passengers were
more or i'ss seriousl)" injured. One wom
an was throw’ll from an upper berth and
one ot her ey*.-s was knocked out of its
socket. Several other, wci ■ badly bruis -d

off! ia'.s of the company will allow no on

more than a gemral denial will bi given

Destruction at Atlantic City.
Atlantic City, N. J., September 16.
The storm which struck the New Jersey
coast early this morning was one of th’e
severest experienced for a long time.
Trie wind blew witli hurricane force and
while it lasted kept up a speed of 70
miles an hour.
Tiie storm was terrifying to a degree,
hut the damage was not as great as was
at first believed. A conservative guess
places the entire damage at. 525.000 or
$30,000. The telegraph and telephone
lines leading out of tiie city arc down,
and tlm fact Hint I lie city was cut off of
connection witli tiie outside world started
wilil rumor:- that the great resort had
been entirely swept away.
Great damage was done along the
boardwalk, where Hie one-story pavilions
suffered to a considerable extent. The
storm roof of the McClain apartment
building at Pacific and South Carolina
avenues blew off, entailing a loss of
$2,500.

midday the combined fury of the elements

amounting in the aggregate to many
thousands of dollars. The gale culmi

Several persons were injured, but no

Th* gale was especially severe at sea,
causing haver to th*' shipping down the

COLLINS KILLED BY WILLIAMS.
Tragedy Occurred in Twig-gs County
Last Thursday Afternoon.
I Constitution Bureau, 467 Second Street,
Macon, (la.. September 18.—(Special.)—
With a terrible hole in the top of his
li- ad. from which the brains were oozing,
W. J. Collins, a prominent young planter
of Twiggs county, lies dead 5 miles from
Dry Branch, in the home of his slayer,
; his father in law, T. E. Williams.
i The difficulty which led up to the klll-
I Ing was caused by domestic differences
‘ between Coilins and his wife. Williams,
■ it is said, sided with his daughter, and
c usequontly -id fooling existed between
• the father of the. girl and hen- husband.
It was not thought that the differences
l would lead to anything yerious, and
I v ith the exception of a few family (Juar
] ie|s everything progressed smoothly un
til last Tuesday.
No trouble of a serious nature, how
s oi curved until Thursday afternoon,
when Collins again started his cursing
and abuse, and upon being remonstrated
I with advanced upon Williams with a
largo knife. Williams retreated into the
house, and procuring his shotgun warned
th, frenzied man to keen away. Collins,
however, it Is said, paid no attention
to the warning, and was rushing upon
his father in law when the latter threw
up his gun and pulled the trigger. The
charge hit the young man in the top of
the head, completely blowing it away.
He dropped in his tricks and in a mo
ment was dead. Those who were first
on the scene declare they found a large
knife lying beside .he d< ad man. which
goes to show Williams acted in self
defense.

NOT JACK E'EID, SAYS WEIR„
Sarge Plunkett Believes Man at Grif
fin Is Impostor.
A. M. Weir, better known as “Surge
Plunkett," has returned from Griffin,
Ga., where lie went to see the man who
represents himself to be Jack Reid, and
declares it to be hut belief that th man
is an imposter.
Jack Reid married Mr. Weir's sister,
and she was in Texas when he was killed,
and returned to Griffin with his body.
She believed the corpse that was
brought back was that of her husband
and mourned for him. The appearance
of a man who claims to be Jack Reid,
who was believed tp have been long
since dead, created a great sensation
throughout the state.
Jack Reid’s wife is now Mrs. Mc-
Gaughey, and she lives in the west. She
will probably return to Georgia to see
the man wjjo claims to be her hus
band.
"There is n,o doubt,” said Mr. Weir yes
terday, "that this man resembles Jack
Reid somewhat. I watched him closely,
and have come to the conclusion that
he is an imposter. It is true he makes
some remarkable statements, and has a
knowledge of affairs in which Jack was
interested. In my opinion, he is one
of the men who yvas in jail with Jack
Reid. On account of his poor physical
condition and age, it is not possible to
trace thy iLS-mltUince closely. When the
questioning reaches a point on which he is
not quite clear the alleged Jack Reid has
recourse to a lapse of memory. There
L a great deal involved in the matter,
since Reid's wife Ims married and raised
a large family, and Jack Reid left a largo
fortune, which was distributed at the
time of his death.
'9’L Peculiar feature of the case is
, ! x? deviates the woman who brought
Jack Reids body back to Griffin was not
p!® w ? fp : H ® claims to have escaped
Won jail during the light in which Jack
Reid was Killed, and say, the bodv of
not Jack Reid, and I knew Jack well.”
