Steamer Peconic Goes Down
Off the Florida Coast.
TWENTY SAILORS DROWN
Only Two of the Crew Escaped Wa
tery Grave to Tell the Story—Ves
tel Was Bound to New Orleans
With a Cargo of Coal on Board.
Twenty men constituting ail but
two of the. officers and crew of the
American steamship Peconic, bound
from Philadelphia to New Orleans
with coal, were drowned by the sink
ing of the vessel off the coast of
Florida Monday. The ditaeter was
the result of a fierce gale which rag
ed along the coast during ihe night
and early morning. Is.shed by the
storm, an immense wave struck the
vessel with terrific force shout 12:30
o’clock a. m. The impact coming
Just as the vessel was making a
turn, caused a shift of the cargo
and the vessel careened and sank im
mediately.
The accident occurred so quickly
that only two of these aboard her,
an Italian and a Spaniard, were able
to save themselves. They succeeded

end, landing, tcld the story of the
disaster.
About midnight of Sunday, during
the heaviest part of the storm which
had raged all day, the officer of the
deck gave the order to put further
cut to sea, fearing they were ap-
I/roaching the coast tco nearly. In
the endeavor to turn tire ship was
struck by a heavy sea, the cargo
shifted, giving a broadside and she
began sinking rapidly. In less than
ten minutes after the alarm was
pounded she had gone to the bottom
and no truce of her was left upon
the waters.
The account of (heir own miracu
lous escape out of all of the ship's
crew who went down was somethin;*
apprc.rching the marvelous.
One of these men was at the wheel
at the time the order was given, the
olher was upon watch. As scon as the
ship began to careen these two men
—■^heri for one of the small boats,
( wh-ermuy j ,,-nTFr.. - -^v^j
^ began to go* dowr. With theTr knirt-
they severed the ropes cs the water s
level was reached, and the smaCl boat
was thrown far out on the waves.
The men whose names are, respect
ively, Bagellini Humbert! and Anto-
no Clark, were unable to speak out
of their native tongues, and it was
some time before the facts of the
disaster were thoroughly ascertained.
They have testified to the correct
ness of the above report before a
notary pub'le, and the people of Fer-
nandina kindly cared for their warns.
At the Ume of the disaster the
ship was abort 20 miles northeast of
Fernendina, heading south, and in
the te^lh of the gale. The small boat
was thrown here and there until final
ly con rol was gained through hand
ling ihe oars, enabling the two un
fortunate -survivors to pull ashore at
last.
The vessel had been engaged in
the fruit trade from Central Amer
ica to New Orleans, but on account
of the quarantine regulations pro
hibiting the imrert of bananas she
had keen engaged for two voyages to
carry coal from Philadelphia to New
Orleans. She was a ship of 1,154
register and had on board about 1,500
tons cf cod. f» e arrived at Phila
delphia August 14, and cleared Icr
New Orleans August 19.
The Peconic was built at Liver
pool. England, in 1881. She was 270
feet long, 34 feet fi inches beam an!
22 feet 8 :nches deep. She formerly
sailed under the British flag and
ran on the Phelps Profilers & Co.'s
line between New York and Med!
terranean ports. D. H. E. Jones of

York, is h.ar present owner.
GEORGIA TAX RATE FIXED
Figures Are increased Ten Cents on
the $1,000 from Rate of Last Year.
A Deficit Unavoidable.

STATE NEWS ITEMS.

The state tax rate to be paid by ,
Georgians who own property this year
will be $4.90 on the $1,000, an increase
of ten cen;s on every thousand doilars’ :
worth of property over the rate of last
year.
The increase was due io the addi
tional appropriations made by the leg
islature this year, which were for the
various ipublic institutions and the
school fund.
Governor Terrell and Comptroller
Wright had a meeting Thursday morn
ing, and when the figures showing
total value of the taxable property ;
in the state were presented them they |
agreed that in order to meet the ap- '
propriations a slight increase in the
rate would be necessary. The ra*e cf
$4.90 was therefore agreed upon. :i
Even at the increased rate there will
be a deficit in the school fund of $3(\-
000 or $40,000 which will have to oe
borrowed by the governor, unless the
suits for back taxes which ore pend
ing against the Georgia railroad and
the Central of Georgia railroad re set
tled. In this event it will not be neces-
sry to make a loan.
The total value of all property hi
Georgia this year amounts to $575,-
788,829, which taxed at the rate of
$4.90, will bring in a total revenue
in round numbers of $4,000,000. This,
with the numerous special taxes, will
Increase the amount some.
While this rate is 10 cents more
than that of last year, it will still
be 10 cents under the constitutional |
limit of 5 mi’.is, or $5 on $1,000.
In the general tax bill of 1904 un- !
dtr which the levy for 1905 is made, ;
the legislature fixed the limit at 4.93
