INTERESTING TO FIREMEN.-There is now
on exhibition In Savannah new invention for
the extlngulshment OF fires, called the chemical
Fire ngine," which will be given public trial
to test its adaptability to the work which 1t pro-
fesses to accomplish. The apparatus OF the
engine may be described as extremely simple In
construction, consisting OF a small tank OF water,
force pump, and an air chamber, which also
contains fire eXtlnguishing compound. The
water passing through the air chamber becomes
impregnated with the chemical compound but
the gas is not produced until the mixture reaches
the fire. when 1t extinguishesit. 1t. The chief merits
of the invention may be summed up as follows:
Its compact and convenient size, adapting it to
the use OF private houses, hotels, and work shops
as well as attaching 1t to steam fire engines; the
dispensing with steam or brakes, the engine
being light enough to be drawn, and the pump
worked, by single person; its capacity for
throwing a stream over the highest buildings for
any length OF lime; the trinng cost OF the cheml-
Gals used, and thu fact that the compound Is not
Injurious or destructive in ITSELF and, lastly, the
almost instantaneous quenchlng OF the most vio-
lent connagratlon.

terday, between the hours OF 10 and O'CLOCK
was the time appointed for the hanging OF Friday
Nixon, colored, who was tried and convicted ut
the last November term OF court for the murder
Of Dick Richards colored, on the night OF sep
tember q, on the Ashley River As the Governor,
who had before granted the condemned respite
for thirty days. was absent from the State. 1t was
generally supposed that the execution would GER
tainly take place. Long before the hour OF 10
O'Clock, q large crowd Of colored people assem-
bled In the vic nifty OF JAIL and waited patient
ly for the hour OF execution, each one doubtless
thinking that in some way or other he would Sc
cure ingress to the Jail.yard, despite the strict
orders that none but those who were compelled TO
at, nd the execution should be admitted.
About 10 O'Clock, report that there was pros
pect OF the prisoner being respited, caused con-
siderable comment and some little disappont-
ment The report proved to be true. Early In
the morning Major D. T. Corbin, who Is Lieuten'
ant-Governor OF the State and acting Governor,
was importuned by the friends OF the condemned
| to respite him until Governor Scott returned 10
his duties when they would be able to present
such statements as would cause Communication
of the prisoners sentence TO imprisonment for
life In the penitentiary. The acting Governor
granted respite for twenty eight days. The re-
spite recites that as t has been represented that
the respite Of the execution OF the sentence Of
death upon Friday Nixon for thirty days, on the
23d day Of February, by Governor Scott was had
for the express purpose OF giving opportunity Of
presenting considerations for mitigation OF said
sentence and that said respite OF thirty days hav
ing expired without the opportunity being fully
enjoyed. by reason Of the absence Of the Governor
from the State therefore the execution is resplt
ell for twenty eight days, and until Friday, the
22d Of April next"
When the news OF the respite was communities
ted to the condemned he evinced no emotion
whatever, aud simply remarked that he was pre-
pared to die, was ready ogo whenever he was
called upon, but was thankful to those who ex
erted themselves to obtain the respite. 1t is now
generally believed that he will not be hung, bul
his sentence will be commuted TO Imprisonment
for lie.

BUSINESS NOTIO Es.

THE PARTICIPATION PLAN IN LIFE ISsUR-
ANcE.-Theoreticaly, the purely mutual plan,
which gives all the profits to the Insurers, is the
most equitable Of oil the schemes Of insurance;
but security Is as necessary as share in the
profits, and many insurers for that reason 60 to
the proprietary companies, in which the stock
holders take all the profits, but are responsible
for all losses. The participation plan in life in
surance is intended to combine the advantages Of
the mutual and proprietary systems. This Is
done by paying the stockholders minimum
dividend, and one-fourth Of the profits, while the
insured receive threefourths Of the profits. These
profits, as they are paid, reduce the cost Of the
insurance. The Citizens Insurance Company, Of
New York, which is now conducted on this plan,
declared, on January S, q dividend OF 80 per cent,
and In twenty-one years has divided among it's
stockholders dve hundred and six per cent. 1t
has cash capital Of saoo,oo and assets amount
Ing to $685., ~ and has been In successful opera
tlon more than thirty years. This shows what
