Fashion Notes.

Bronze shoes are worn for dancing.
Standing collars are no longer fastened
with studs.
Heavy armure brocades are used for
outside jackets.
Great clusters of blush roses are Just
now very fashionable worn with full dress
toilets.
Girls now wear punches OF ribbon on
their corsages when they cannot get
flowers.
For evening wear the hair is arranged
very high. The Grecian knot is fashion
able for street wear.
Bonnet strings are now never tied under
the hair and the back. They are tied in
bow directly under the chin.
Very long gloves of undressed black
kid with black dresses, or of gray shades
with light dresses, straw colOred white
or pearl, are the correct wear.
The English walking hat is likely to be
revived this spring. The brim is about
the same as of old, rolling high and close
on each side, but the crowns to most of
the new shapes are in the slOping Langtry
style, or else are high and square.
Black toilets covered with lace founces
are still among the most fashionable even
ing dresses. They may have waists open
square or in heart-shape, with the open
part surrounded by a full lace ruchfng.
On the left side of the ruching is bunch
of flowers.
The hair is worn in a Grecian twist,
with short curls at one side, or soft,
shsrt twist, more like the old-fashioned
French twist, with the ends plated and
put around it. The figure eightis favor
able style OF cOiling the black hair, and
curls both long and short seem destined
to be in style again. The front hair is
dressed in bangs and crimped waves.
An experienced buyer of silks says that
a good test to secure one from being de-
ceived in the quality of black silk is to
pinch a specimen on the bias and after
ward pull it in an opposite direction. If
the crease made by the pinch looks like
similar fold in a piece of writing paper,
reject the piece unhesitatingly. On the
contrary, if the mark smOOths out and is
hardly distinguishable, it Is safe to pur-
chase.
Information comes from celebrated
mOdiste that lace dresses of every de-
scriptiOn will be more than ever the vogue
the coming summer. For those who fan
cy the style viii be Mother Hubbard
dresses, all ofblack lace over surah either
Of black. or in gaY-cOlOred foundations.
These dresses, in white or black lace, it is
said, are not to be made of piece lace, but
of that about eight or ten inches deep,
laid row upon row, killed or slightly gath
cred, as is preferred. Round waists will
also be in high favor, and belts and long
ends of satin ribbon will add their always
graceful and pretty finish to these.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from Near
and Afar.

The Leesburg and Indian River branch
of the Florida Transit and Peninsular
Railroad is within one mile of Leesburg.
The Sylyania Telephone of Friday says:
s'There was to have been a meeting of the
Directors of the Sylvania and Rocky Ford
Railroad here on Thursday evening last,
but the meeting has been postponed until
next Monday. 1t is probable that the re-
suit of this meeting wilbbe the Inaugural
tion of plans for beginning work at once,
i'm which event we look for the completion
of the road by July next"
The Pensacola Commercial says: ''The
United States flagship Tennessee, Of the
North American squadron, arrived at
New Orleans last week to coal up. Birm-
ingham is interested in this event. Just
this much: Pittsburg furnishes the coal.
and not us. Coal barges from the Smoky
City deliver her black diamonds right on
board ship. If Pensacola would build q
road to her navy yard Birmingham would
send her coal direct and deliver it on
board for 81 per ton less than Pittsburg
rates at New Orleans. This would
bring the Tennessee to her navy
yard and $4,000 cash, which this
ship will disburse at New Orleans
Birmingham Chronicle, February 12
pensacola need not build aroad to the
navy yard to deliver it from the cars to
the ship. She can do that now at her
wharYes at less cost than it can be deliV-
cred at any other Southern port. If Bir-
mingham can get market for her coal by
shipment, Pensacola can ship it cheaper
than the cheapest. We can dump it out
of the railroad cars into the hold of the
ships, and we can accommodate at our
wharves vesoels drawing twenty-six feet

THE STOCK MARKET.

A Lively Day Among the Brokers.
The security market was decidedly
active yesterday, having apparently awak-
ened from its lethargy of several weeks.
Notwithstanding the very 0isagreea6le
weather investors were on hand taking up
all available interest-paying bonds and
stocks that could be found on the market.
While the guaranteed stocks and mortgage
bonds were most sought after and quota
tions were higher, the whole list was in full
sympathy, and some stocks exhibited a
material advance, particularly Central
Railroad stock, which was advanced one
and a half points. While there was con-
siderable activity in the stock, a good
many shares changing hands during the
day, there was no particular reason for
this advance, there being no new develop
ments to push 1t up, and the only reason
for this activity and firmness
in the old standby was attrib-
utable to the fact that investors
| felt that the stock had got down pretty
/ low. The greatest activity was in Cen
trail debentures, quite ia large amount of
which were sold, and on which quota
! tions were advanced sharply. Another
/ active factor was Augusta and Knoxville
] first mortgage bonds, a new security on
| the market, with some influence in its IA
/ vor. 1t is one of the prOteges Of the Gen.
/ trail system, which guarantees the inter-
| est, and its entrance into the mark ct
] created quite favorable impression. 1t
| had considerable sales. There are sew
/ eral hundred thousands of dollars worth
/ of these bonds out.

Death of a Former savannah Lady.

The MORNING News of yesterday con-
tanned a notice of the death in New York
of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, which event
took place on the 14th instant. The de-
ceased was before marriage Miss Mar
garet Bulloch, a daughter of the
Fate W. b. Bulloch, ESD, Of this city,
who was President of the Bank of the
State of Georgia fifty years ago. She was
also a granddaughter of Governor Bulloch,
who was Chief Executive during a part
of the Revolutionary war. Her daughter
in-law, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., died
in the same house on the same day.
The New York Herald says:
s'Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, the widow
Of the distinguished philanthropist whose
name is perpetuated to the public in the
Roosevelt Hospital, died yesterday morn
ing at her home, No. 6 West Fifty
was followed up within few hours by
the additionally painful intelligence that
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was also
dead in the same house and of the same
malady-Bright's disease. No two blows
coming together could have given more
occasion for sorrow to a family
singularly devoted to both members
so suddenly and strangely carried away.
"The elder Mrs. Roosevelt was in her
family like fayOrite elder sister. The
devotion of her four children to her person
was akin to chivalrOus loyalty, and was
remarked by all who came under her roof
and under the spell of her hospitable
manner and brilliant powers as the leader
of a salon. All the entertainments that
she gave, and which marked social epOchs
in a New York winter, were stamped with
the spirit of good cheer, high breeding
and eleyating conversation. Few houses
in New York have entertained so MANY
guests, and none has made of guests so
many friends.
"Both mother and daughter took an active
interest in the many charities associated
with the name of the late Theodore Roose-
welt. From visiting hospital wards to
dispensing ice cream in a newsbOy's lOdg-
ing house, both found pleasure in making
this world less of a sorrow TO the poor and
more of a lesson to the rich"

THE WORK OF THE BUILDERS.
What They are Doing in the Southern
Portion of the City-New Houses in
Course of Erection.

What They are Doing in the Southern
Portion of the City-New Houses in
Course of Erection.
During the past few weeks a number
of building Improvements have been made
at the intersection of New Houston and
West Broad streets, on the lots formerly
used by the City and Suburban Street
Railway Company as an office and
stable and siding tor cars. The
building used as an office was moved from
the southeast corner of New Houston and
West Broad streets to an adjoining lot
east and fronting on New Houston street,
and was remodeled and enlarged, and is
now occupied as a residence. Next to this
structure, on the east, Mr.. Thomas A. Fol-
lizard is erecting two twO-stOry residences,
each having a front of % feet on New
Houston street and depth of - feet.
There are three rooms, a hall and a large
piazza on the first floor and five rooms on
the second floor, including a bath room.
Two Of the rooms in the lower
floor measure 10 feet inches
by 10 feet. The smaller room
measures 1OX10 feet. The hall is 30 feet
long and feet wide. These buildings are
attractive in appearance, and will be
completed about the middle of next month
at a cost of about 81, 700.
hmm ediately around the corner and
facing West Broad street, Mr.. j. G. Cru
yer is erecting for Mr.. J. Collins two one
story frame dwellings, each with a front
of IA feet and depth of 80 feet, and con-
tanning three rooms, two of which meas
ure 13 feet inches by IA feet. The cell
ings are II feet in height. These houses
will accommodate small families, and be
ready for occupancy during the coming
week.
At the corner of West Broad and New
Houston street lane Mr.. II. Struck COM
pleted, a day or two ago, two One-story
frame residences, each having four rooms
10 feet in height and measuring 10 by y
feet. One of the houses has its front en-
trance on the lane, while the other faces
West Broad street. The structures were
formerly one building, and was used by
the street railway company as a barn for
the storage of hay, etc. Mr.. Struck has
rcmodeled the building, and now has two
very attractive looking cottages.
On the southwest corner of New HouS-
ton and West Broad streets, Mr.. Harry
Kreamer has completed two-stOry build
ing, which has front of 80 feet and a
depth of 80 feet. A portion of the lower
floor Will be used as a store. a hall and
stairway on the south side of the struc-
ture leads to the second floor, where there
are four comfortable rooms.

In the Barracks for safe-Keeping.

Early last evening a stranger applied
at the Harnett House for lodging, and was
assigned to room by the clerk. About
$3.50 O'Clock the porter heard a distur-
bance IN his room, and went to the door
and raped. There was no reply,
and he entered, pushing open the
door. As il swung back the
stranger was discovered wrapped in a
sheet which he had taken from the bed,
andtstoOd crOuching against the wall. The
room was in a state of disorder, the bed
torn in pieces, and the furniture upset.
Upon being asked what was the matter,
the stranger said. They're after me!
Don't let 'em kill mep' He was evidently
a victim of the tremens, or was insane
from some other cause. The porter led
him down STAIRS but was unable to get
him out of the hall. Policeman Davis
was called and he was taken to the bar
racks for safe keeping.

Having almost closed out our embrOid-
cry stock during the recent sale at our
popular bargain counter, we have found
1t necessary to replenish this department
with a new line entirely, which goods are
expected to arrive per steamer "City of
Augusta" and will be on display Wednes-
day, the 10th inst. The constantly in
creasing trade in this line of goods has
warranted US in placing in stock much
larger and better assortment of these
goods than ever before. Although we b ave
always been quoted as carrying a finer
ana better assortment than any other
house in Savannah, with these we hone to
please the most fastidiOus.
Among those are expected an elegant
assortment of TOrchOn, Medici and new
Oriental Laces.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
