Mr. Karl Andtrscn Talks Aiionl the
Wonderful Norse Ship.
He Was One of the Fi-st on Board
When She Wai Dug Out of King *
Hill Near Sandefjord. Ilia Home.
The Story of the. Finding of the Vik
ing and the Superstitions Connected
With It Told By a Norwegian Gentle
man Who Now Lives in Savannah.
The Fac Simile of the Viking Which
Was Perhaps 1,000 Years Old Now
On Its Wav to Chicago.
One of the events in which both the old
world and the new arc just now interested
is the advent of the Norwegian Viking
ship to the world's fair. The Viking is
expected to land at New|>ort to-day or to
morrow. whence she will proceed to the
world’s fair via the Erie canal.
Mr. Karl Andersen, who is now with S.
P. Shotter & t 0., is a native of Sandof
joril on the southern const of Norway. In
issu, when a schoolboy, lie helped dig up
the old Viking Ship which was buried in
Kins's hill, -*1 miles from his homo, and
of which the present Viking ship, which
is just completing a transatlantic voyage,
is a counterpart.
“The Viking ship was buried in a
mound known as King's hill near my
home,'’ said Mr. Anderson, yesterday,
“and as far back as 1 can remember the
people used to talk about these hills and
tell strange stories about them. There
was indeed something very mysterious
about them, and many strange super
stitions were connected with them. It
was said that a tire could be seen on the
top of tlie hill every night, and that a
solitary horseman could do seen riding
around it. These stories and many other
traditions connected with the hill were
told me often by au old woman who lived
at Sand,'fjord.
AVR AID TO ntSTUHB THEM.
""“The existence of these superstitions
was responsible for the fact that the hill
was left undisturbed for so long a time.
Later investigations showed that it was
i ibably formed over I.Odd years ago. An
old sailor linaliy derided to dig down in
King’s hill and see what mysteries it con
tained. lie was discouraged in his efforts,
but went ahead, nevertheless, and many
Of us schoolboys used to spend a great
ileal of our time there helping to' dig'
down in that old hill instead of going to
school.
“Finally, in the summer of 1880, the
Viking ship was discovered in the hill.
The discovery created great excitement
throughout the city. Everybody canto out
to the place to see it, and the people
niton whose land it was found made
a small fortune by charging an amount
equivalent to 2 or 3 cents for each one
who went out. Excursionists came to
Sandefjord in large numbers to see the
wonderful vessel. I remember one day
seeing as many as twelve or thirteen
Steamboats there, which was rather au
unusual sight.
ItELICS OF AN OLD SF.A KINO.
“When the Viking shii> was discovered
I was one of the iirst to go on board of
her. A skeleton of a man was found
standing erect at the masthead, and in
front of it was the skeleton of a horse.
Around tlxe skeleton were some old Norse
arms and coin in nso centuries ago.
Everything indicated that the vessel was
over 1,000 years old and perhaps older.
‘■Many pictures of the old Viking
ships have been in existence in Norway
for years, and, strange to sa.v, this vessel
was in every respect just as it was repre
sented in tin- pictures. The row of shields
was formed on either side, the ornaments
at stem and stem and the single mast in
the center.
“The theory in regard to this old ship
at home is interesting. It was customary
centuries ago when a great warrior or
ruler died, or was killed, to bury all the
movable property with him. This was
probably an old sea king who was killed
in battle, at least that is the idea enter
tained by the Norwegians, and he was
buried with the usual honors, surrounded
by his property, his vessel, his arms,
horse, money and other accouterments.
“A guard was placed near the vessel to
prevent any one from taking away any of
the things found in the boat, hut we hoys
secured several of the bones and other
curios, and I have some of them at home
in Norway now.
TO SUSTAIN LIEF ERICSSON'S CLAIM.
“It is held by our people that Lief
Ericsson discovered America SCO years
before Columbus, and it is ‘ be
lieved that he sailed in one of
these Viking ships. The idea in building
this fnc simile was to demonstrate that it
could easily make the transatlantic voy
age.
“The Viking was built at Sandefjord
and from them advertisements were sent
out for thirteen men as a crew
to sail it to America. Over
2t>o responded. Only thirteen
were selected, however, one from each of
tlfe largest cities in Norway.
“The vessel is 77 feet in length and 1(1
feet wide. It carries a crew of thirteen
men, but will get twenty more when it
arrives in New York. The flags it carries
were made by the girls at home. On each
side of the Viking ship is a row oT shields
and at the stem is a representation of a
sea horse.
“Two of the crew I know intimately
and others ! have often seen in Norway.
Cirpt. Magnus Andersen, who is in com
mand of the ship, lives at Saurvik, a few
Ihiles from Sandefjord, while the stew
ard, Frederick Oscar Frantsen, whom I
think lias more the appearance of a viking
than the captain, is a native of Sandef
jord. These I know very well.
“There is a number of hills in the vi
cinity of Sandefjord, hut no further at
tempt has ever been made to explore
them. They will probably remain undis
turbed for years."
The Viking ship sailed direst from
Christiania, Norway's capital, and is ex
pected every da.v at Newport. Prof.
Hjalmar iljorth Boycsen. chairman of the
New York committee which is making
arrangements to receive the Viking ship,
will meet tin- vessel when she comes into
New York after leaving Newport and the
cers and crew will be tendered a re
ception.
A RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Lloyd & Adams’ House Under Finan
cial Embarrassments.
The creditors of Lloyd & Adams, who
have been embarrassed through the sus
pension of the Brunswick State Bank,
yesterday petitioned the superior court
for the appointment of a root iver to take
charge of the business for the purpose of
trying to save it from further trouble.
Judge Falligant appointed Mr. M.
Adams, the junior member of the house,
receiver with power to conduct the busi
ness for the best interests of all con
cerned.
Lloyd A Adams’ assets more than
cover all liabilities, and with judicious
management it is believed things can be
straightened out.

HIS LATEST CATCHES.
Detective Bossoll Runs Down a Stab
ber and a Thief.
Henry Lewis stabbed Willie Jones in
the head with a knife late night before
last, breaking the blade off in the skull
above the left temple. The ease was re
ported to Detective Bossell at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning and half an hour later
the officer captured Lewis and lodged
him in the barracks. Recorder Wilson
sent him to jail on a charge of assault
with intent to murder.
Detective Ilossell also captured yester
day Edward Hazel, the negro who stole a
coat from Blumenthal's store Saturday
night. Hazel went into tiio store and
under tlio excuse of wanting to purchase
a coat threw off his old one and put on a
new garment. Then the negro called the
proprietor's attention to another part of
the establishment and bolted out the door.
A description of the slick thief was fur
nished Detective Bossell and yesterday
he picked tip Hazel on the street with the
stolen coat on his back. He was locked
up on a charge of larceny.
TO RAISE HIS SALARY.
The Mayor Wants Detective Bossell
to Get SI,OOO a Year.
Mayor McDonough is so impressed with
the successful work of Detective Bossell
since that officer has been placed on
special duty that he will urge the council
to increase his salary to SI,OOO a year.
The mayor will probably bring the mat
ter up at this afternoon's council meeting.
Detective Bossell is certainly de
serving of recognition, if hard, earn
est and successful application to duty
counts for anything. Although lie has
only been acting in the capacity of a de
tective for a few months lie has made the
most enviable record of anyof Savannah’s
officers. Hardly a day passes that De
tective Bossell does not run dowp some
criminal, and the lawbreakers here are
becoming thoroughly frightened about
tlie remarkable success of the alert young
officer.
RAINS PRETTY GENERAL.
Heavy Falls Throughout Alabama
and in North Georgia.
Yesterday was a warn? day generally
speaking. The temperature was up to
88°. The mean tomperature was 81°,
which is considerably above the average.
The indications last night were that it
will be slightly cooler to-day.
A heavy rain set in last night and con
tinued for several hours. Up to
8 o'clock the rainfall was a
little less than half an inch.
The rain was general over this section of
the cotton belt. Fort Gaines reported 1 \
inches, Buinbridgo 1W inches, Thomas
ville and Amerieus a little over an inch.
The Montgomery district reported the
heaviest rains. Marion had nearly 4
inches. Rome and Tuscaloosa reported
'i':i inches, Cordova 3>s inches and Selma

A SALOON CLOSED.
George & Woeltjen’s Establishment
Levied Upon by the Sheriff.
Sheriff Honan yesterday closed George
& Woeltjen's saloon, at Liberty and Jef
ferson streets, under a mortgage to Bart
ley. Johnson & Cos. of Louisville, Ky., for
$1,794 39. The mortgage covers $1,500
worth of goods purchased from the Ken
tucky house, and a promissory note of
$294 39. The saloon has only boon in op
eration a few months. Garrard. Meldrim
Ac Newman will fight the mortgage on the
ground that Woeltjen has nothing to do
with the promissory note, aipt did not give
his consent to the execution of the paper,
the debt being owed by his partner,
George, personally. The assets of tho
firm will cover all liabilities.

Sixteen Divorce Cases in the Superior
Conn.
The Usual Pleas of Desertion. Cruelty,
Etc., the Grounds of Complaint A
Few Whites in the List, But the
Majority Colored The Sternberg
Litigation Ended Criminal Trials
to Begin To-day.
A big batch of unhappy mortals who
tried marriage.and found it to be a failure
for various and numerous reasons, were
released from their burdensome knots
yesterday in the superior court.
The majority of those seeking legal relief
from altar vows and regretted promises
to love, honor and cherish in sickness and
health, in poverty or wealth,
until released by death, were
negroes, but there was just enough white
fanes in the gathering to make matters
interesting. Desertion, cruelty, tailure
to support, drunkenness and unfaithful
ness were among the reasons urged by
the complainants.
Total divorces wore granted to Millie
Denogall from William H. IJenegall,
George H. Ralph from Lulu Ralph. Cor
nelia M. Gilmer from Richard Gilmer,
Mamie Dallas from Anthony Dallas.
Virginia F. Sykes from James A. Sykes.

First verdicts were granted Mary M.
Beard from C. Rush Beard, Pearl M.
Race from John M. Race, and Henry

The litigation growing out of the fail
ure of M. Sternberg was settled in the
superior court yesterday by the render
ing of a consent verdict for the amounts
agreed upon between M. Sternberg and
his creditors on a basis of 30 per cent.
This verdict was the final step prepara
tory to the organization of the Sternberg

the judgments under the verdict.
The Hagey Institute for the cure of the
liquor, morphine, cocaine and other habits
was yesterday incorporated by Judge Fal
ligant.
The criminal docket of the superior
court will be inaugurated to-day with
the trial of Catillo Coumo, who lost his
eye in the market a few months ago by a
bullet from Tony Esposito's pistol, and
after his recovery escaped from the hos
pital and assaulted Esposito and tried to
kill him with a knife. Coumo will be de
fended by Cain & Kennedy.
GETTING DEEPER STEADILY.
Large Vessels Now Come Up the River
on Low Tide.
It is not an infrequent thing for vessels
of heavy draft to come up the river now
on low tide. This plainly shows the re
sults that have already been accomplished
in deepening the harbor.
The City of Birmingham came up the
river on her last trip at dead low water
drawing 15 feet 2 inches, without feeling
bottom at any point. Seven feet can lie
added to this as the rise at an
ordinary high tide, thus giving
plenty of margin for a vessel drawing
twenty-two feet to come up with ease.
There are throe dredges now at work
upon Tybee knoll and an effort will be
made to reach a depth of twenty-two foot
eight inches at high water by the first of
next January. The knoll is about the
only place that needs working to obtain
this depth, as it is found in almost every
other portion of the channel.
CROSSTIES FOR NICARAGUA.

put on board the vessel in the short time
of 12‘i hours, and she immediately sailed
for her destination yesterday.
The Norwegian bark Agder was cleared
yesterday for Glasgow with 1,650 barrels
of rosin, weighing 788,470 pounds, valued
at $8,027, and 1,500 barrels spirits tur

The Colored Odd Fellows.
District Grand Master Towns of the
colored Odd Fellows of Georgia arrived
in the city yesterday from Darien on an
official visit to the order here, and was
given a reception by the Savannah lodges
at the colored Odd Fellows’ hall on
Duffy street last night. The district
grand master is the highest officer of the
order in the state. Savannah has six
lodges and several higher organizations
of the colored Odd Fellows and a large
membership. There are 102 lodges in the
state. One of the objects which it is
hoped to accomplish and which the dis
trict grand master's visit is expected to
further is the movement to establish a
homo for the orphans of the colored Odd
Fellows.
Escape of Prisoners.
The report that prisoners have been and are
constantly escaping from that malignant
goaler. liver complaint, is fully corroborated
by the self-liberated captives. Hostetler's
Stomach Bitters are, they say, the means by
which they get rid of iheir fetters. Few alto
gether avoid the bondage of this ailment, and
few are unacquainted with Its signs, viz: pain
through the right side and shoulder blado,
furred tongue, yellowness of the eyeballs and
skin, sour breath, sick headache, dyspepsia
and constipation. Hostotter’s Stomach Bit
ters puts a prompt period to these, brings
them to a full stop in short order. Whether
the trouble is chronic or temporary, this
medicine is equally effective, regulating the
liver and bowels thoroughly. It !s Ilk-wise u

TROOPER** AT THE BEACH.
Thf Hussars Annual Target Shoot at
Tybar Prise Winner* and Banquet.
Some wry fair score* wore made by
member* of th< 1 morvta Hussar* at their
annual target shoo! at Tybee yesterday,
considering the fact that there was a
very heavy wind against them during the
entire time.
The company went down yesterday
afternoon about forty strong. Including
lioth veterans and regular members, in
command of ('apt Being; Gordon. After
a dinner at the hotel the company went
out to the target range, which is near the
Tybee lighthouse'
When they reached the field the wind
was blowing in heavy gusts calculated to
knock any bulb ! out of a lav line. So
much did tho wind mar the beauty of the
scores that many of the shooters who
made dead sure sets for hull's eyes came
no nearer to it than having recorded
against them the figure that most re
sembles a bull's eye. Considering this
groat disadvantage, however, some very
good scores were recorded.
{■jj’i’he pistol shoot came off first, each
man firing six shots at the word. The
pistol range was thirty yards. Private
W. Gladding Hull made 25 out of a possi
ble 30, which is considered a fine score.
He won the medal. Private E. L. Gilbert
also made 25, but there was one 3in his
score which set him back
somewhat. Among other good
scores were those of Private
E. R. Middleton. 24, who won the De-
Renne pistol medal last year; Private J.
C. Johnson, 23; Sergt. J. C. Postell. 24;
Kergt. J. B. West. 20; and Privates W. W.
Gordon, Jr., and G. A. Quantoek, 20each.
The veteran's prize of #5 was won by
Veteran F. C. Wilson, honorary member
on a score of 21. Veteran Member Shup
trine made a score 17.
In the carbine shoot at a range of 200
yards the wind told more heavily against
the contestants than in the pistol contest.
The best record was made by Sergt. J. C.
Postell on a score of 21 out of a possible
25. He held the company carbine medal
last year. Private E. L. Gilbert
came second with a score of 10. Other
good scores were Corpl. Constantine 18,
Private J. G. Keller 17, and Private
Thomas Hunter 17. Veteran J. T. Shup
trine took the prize in his class on a score
of 18. Honorary Member G. N. Saussy
made 13, and Honorary Member W. B.
Farr 13.
Private E. R. Middleton, who held the
pistol modal last year, carried two
homing pigeons down with him,
intending to let them carry
home tho news of his second
victory. Under the circumstances, how
ever, ho deferred their flight until this
morning.
After the shoot the Hussars took the
train for the hotel, where, after the
banquet, Maj. Meldrim, who was
introduced by Capt. Gordon, delivered the
prizes to the victors. Maj. Meldrim began
his address by referring to his connection
with the Hussars, first as a private, then
ns an officer of the company and finally
as an officer of the Fifth Georgia regi
ment. It was a singular fact, he
said, that the member wiio Was to receive
the njedal had had the distinguished
honor of wearing it on his breast during
the past year. He then presented the
medal, which was the first prize for the
carbine shoot, to Sergt. J. C. Postell.
Maj. Meldrim commented on the serv
ices, both in time of war and peace, of the
family of the next prize winner. Private
W. Gladdiitg Hull, to whom he delivered
the DeUenne pistol medal. He spoke of
the virtue of discipline, illustrating his
remarks with examples from the old
Greek, Roman and German customs. He
referred to the excellent and faithful
work of Private Gilbert, to whom he pre
sented the prize for the best combined
pistol and carbine shooting.
Private Gilbert made 43 on the two
scores out of a possible 55. He also pre
sented the prizes to the veterans who
made tho best scores, making a few elo
quent and appropriate remarks.
The Hussars remained at the Tybee
hotel last night and this morning they
will shoot at 300-yards range, and after
ward engage in a skirmish shoot.

and the practical branches of carpenter
ing and farming.
Tho exercises of the Philosophian So
ciety were held in Boggs hall on the
campus last night. They were to have
been hel'd out on the campus, but rain
prevented. The exercises consisted
mainly of declamations and music. The
question: “Resolved, that a man is re
sponsible for his deeds while under the
influence of liquor," was debated affirma
tively by R. C. Thomas and negatively by
W. H. Brown.
The final exercises of tho college will

tist church on Bryan street. This morn
ing at 11 o'clock the colored farmers’

bus, a book ease made by C. W. Lockett
of Maoon, show a high order of workman
ship. The products from the fifty-acre
farm, which is worked altogether by the

oyer S6OO worth of produce has been sold
since it began to be workod.

The following compose the faculty:
R. R. Wright, A. M., president, in
structor in English language and liter
ature ; also, in mental and moral science;
D. C. Suggs, A. M., vice president, in
structor in natural science; F. E. Cobb,
A. 8., instructor in mathematics, libra
rian; Loring B. Palmer, A. 8., assistant
instructor in English, etc., secretary of

sician : Rev. L. B. Maxwell, A. 8., occa

The faculty has worked earnestly dur
ing the past year, and the success with
which the institution has met is due
largely to its efforts. Several new teach
ers will probably be added to the corps
next fall by the commission, when it is
expected they will receive substantial aid
by the donation of a portion of the Slater
fund.
SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
One Who Doesn’t Agree With the
Rev. Mr. Strong.
Editor Morning News: When I read
the synopsis of the sermon of the Rev. C.
H. Strong in Monday’s paper I was
astonished to know that any minister
would be so lost to the true spirit of his
Master as to advocate trading and par
ticipation in worldly amusements on the
Sabbath, and not only was it out of place
to try to instill in the hearts of his con
gregation his own private views of script
ure, but to try and substantiate them
by some obsolete case of a poor woman
who sold apples on Sunday to support her
children, and also by suggesting that
worshiping God on the Sabbath in tho
morning would absolve one from sinning
in the afternoon, if he should indulge in
riding out or visiting seaside resorts for
tlie purpose of recreation, taking indi
rectly from our Heavenly Father the
power to restore health to those who,
from a desire to keep the Sabbath holy,
stay at homo, attend tho sanctuary, visit
the sick and give to the poor the ‘ money
they would spend at these resorts. The
Lord said: "Remember the Sabbath dav
to keep it holy.” St. Paul said, I came
to preach Christ and him crucified. The
Bible says, “Avoid the appearauce of
evil,” and also that the righteous shall
receive everlasting v reward, und tho
wicked everlasting punishment.
