Svict camp on the Waters road. SusaI
eJOnes. the mother of the unfortunate man

TILE LyNcHRuRG FIRE.

myers Brothers Heavy Loss Incurred
Through the InefHciency Of the Fire
Department
The recent destruction by fire of the to-
sbacco factory of Myers Bros. * Co., OF
Sthis city, in Lynchburg, Va, is attributed
sby the Netos. of that city, to the inefficien-
lev of the fire department. That paper
SAYS:
4 YESTERDAY where once stood the large
Tobacco manufacturing establishment OF
4 Messrs. Myers Bros. & Co.. and the smaller
frame factory adjoining, there was moth
cling but smOuldering ruins, presenting a
{picture of desOlation and telling a tale OF
obstruction which, in itself, serves as
8definite commentary upon the demOraliZa-
1tiOn and absolute impotency of the fire
of Lynchburg. There is nc
longer use to mince words in dealing with
Ia question freighted with so much import
sance and interest to every property owner
E and every individual citizen. From what.
lever cause il arises. the factis plain and
Sundeniable that there is little safety fol

Twas between 100000 and 100000 pounds
i'm addition to 200, 900 pounds of manufac.
%tured tobacco. These gentlemen, under

&the largest tobacco manufacturers in the
SSOuth, and by their scrupulOus integrity,
ShOnesty and promptness in all of their
transactions have acquired a legion OF

SWhere to Look for It-A Probable Bril-
liant DispIay-Last Years Visitor stu

q A Baltimore astronomer has been study
Ding the new cometdiscovered by Professor
aSwift from the Warner Observatory last
3week, and has obtained satisfactory OBJ
Nservations. Its astronomical position has
sbeen approximately noted in right ascen-
! sion % hours and 80 minutes and declma-
ftion north Is degrees and 80 minutes. The
zposltion is northwest by west, and near
%the horizon just after twilight. The cen
Etral condensation of the comet was almost
4stella, and it was surrounded by large
4mass of haze. The tail was about thirty
9minutes long, but very faint. The comet
3is very bright in the telescope, ana ON
Sdark SKY, away from the twilight, could
Sbe seen by the naked eye. Its mo-
StOn since its discovery has been east
award IL degrees and northward
w degrees, a probable indication that II
Mas been around the sun and is going on
Sinto space. One may, therefore, get q
3nearer view as it passes the earth, but II
Wit is still on its way toward the sun, there
Twill probably be more brilliant display.
aMore observation is needed before any
athing definite can be said. The gentlemen
aengaged in making the observation have
zalSo been watching the course of the large
8comet of last autumn, which is still visi-
sble in the telescope. 1t was seen almost
<due south, at an elevation of about 30 de-
3grees above the horizon, appearing as a
faint brush of light in the heavens.

Court of ordinarv-Habeas Corpu.


Mr.. J. L. Bremen, of BullOch county,
sued out States writ of habeas corpus
against Mr. Richard A. Pollard, of this
city, made returnable before the Ordinary
of Chatham county, and hearing upon
THE same was had Saturday. The writ
twas for the purpose of obtaining the Gus
stody and control of Ida Eugenia Pollard,
saged thirteen, a daughter of Richard A.
Pollard. Upon an investigation into the
facts and the law applicable thereto, the
sOrdinary remanded the child to the
custody of the parent. The facts per-
Etaining to this case are substantially as
Follows: On the 18th of January, 1877.
iMr. Pollard bound out two of his children
Ito the Protestant Episcopal Orphans
Home. he to provide for their board and
,clOthing. The children remained at the
Home until some time in December, 1879,
when the authorities Of that institution.
without apprising Mr.. Pollard of their I'M
|tention, apprentlced the children to Mr..
Bremen, of BullOch county, under the
terms of their charter. Both children rel
|mained with Mr.. Bremen until some
time in May 1882, when that gentleman
|came on a visit to Savannah, bringing the
youngest of the children, Ida, with him.
lBy some means the child had an inter-
view with her father, who took possession
l6f her and refused to deliver
Iher up, alleging that the chill
|dren had not been properly treated,
land that the Home had no right to apI
prentice them. The elder daughter isl
Still with Mr.. Bremen, the subject matterI
|of the writ heard Saturday being only fo1
the possession of Ida Eugenia Pollard
|rhe Ordinary remanded the child to theI
control of the parent, principally on ac-
count of the fact that, as he was to board
and clothe his children at the Home, hel
should have been notified of the intentionI
Of the authority thereof to apprentice
them. and also because the Home had ap1
prenticed the children beyond the limits of
the county, as well as the jurisdiction of
the Ordinary.
