GIeanings Among the shipping and
Along the Wharves.
The Norwegian banks Ibis and Fido fin
ished loading naval stores yesterday and
VIII clear for sea tomorrow.
There were 70, 1893 bales of cotton cleared
from this port yesterday for foreign ports.
The total value OF experts were $685.
600.
Among the feet of vessels arriving here
during the past two days were the
schoOners SamOs, John II. May and the
June Bright. They all report very heavy
weather at sea, with loss of few small
sails, but no material damages.
The schooner Samuel II. Crawford ar
rived yesterday from Baltimore with a
cargo of coal and oil. She made the pas
sage from the capes in three days and
reports very rough weather with high
seas, and lost a few light sails on the
passage.
The schooner Virginia Lee Hickman
arrived up yesterday from Tybee. In adj
dition to having lost her fore and main
sails, already reported in the NEWS, she
I'd her bulwarks stove in and lost one of
her boats. She was in all the hard
weather reported off Hatteras.
The schooner John Shay sailed for this
port on Dec. 10 from Baltimore, with a
cargo of guano, and has not arrived yet.
She is not out long enough to excite any
serious apprehensions except from the
fact that the schooner Isaac n. Kerlin
sailed day before her and arrived here
on Dec. Is. 1t is very probable that she
got into the midst Of the hurricane of two
weeks ago, and if she has not fOundered
has been badly injured and put into some
port for repairs.

SATURDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
The Loss Estimated at About $4,000,
with no Insurance.

The damage by the burning OF the I'M
used foundry Of VIM. Kehoe & Co., corner
of Randolph and Broughton streets, is
much heavier than was anticipated early
Saturday morning, when the report in
the NEWS OF yesterday was written. Al
though the fire was completely under
control before a. M, the firemen contin-
ued to play on the smOldering ruins for
sever or eight hours longer. Yesterday
the scene was visited by many people.
The walls of the burned foundry facing on
Randolph street are still standing, as are
also an enormous smokestack ana
two or three furnace chimneys. Ruined
machinery, oharred timbers and wrecked
furnaces are piled about in wild confu-
sion. The most rem arkable thing about
the fire is that MIR. KehOe'S new foundry
escaped. That part almost adjoining the
burning building is of frame, and the
flames and sparks were constantly leap
ing over it and falling upon its roof. The
greatest delay occurred in sounding the
alarm. By the time the department,
which had turned out promptly, arrived
the entire building was in flames.
Mr.. KehOe estimates his loss at about
81, 900. Tie loss is divided as follows:
Main foundry building, fronting on Ran
delphi street, 30 by 100 feet, in whichmuch
machinery was stored, S4,OOO.
Two-story frame building, 80 by 30 feet,
| fronting on Broughton street the upper
| floor being used as a pattern shop and for
I storing wooden patterns, and tue lower
( 1Oor as a fitting shop, $500.
/ Pattern shop and stOrerOO11, 80 by 81
( feet, running north and south from the
/ other pattern shop, with contents, 5000.
/ Stable forming an l. from the above
/ building, $500.
Blacksmith shop at the northeast cor
ner Of the lot belonging to Mr.. Kehoe, but
occupied by the ferguson estate. Loss on
building $500; to occupants on machinery
$500.
In addition to this, Patrick KeI@e had
stored in the main foundry a lot of cotton
screws, steyedOring tools, etc, valued al
$1,000. These are all destroyed. This
I VIII make the damage to the foundry foo
up to $15, 700. A large number of doors
ETC., for.Mr. Kehoe's new house, in course
Of construction, on Columbia square, were
also burned. The three houses which
\ were burned-One facing on Randolph
street and the others on BrOughton-arC
/ not very valuable. The former was
owned by the cOlored family who Occu
pied it and the latter By Mrs. Howe.
Mr.. KehOe's entire stock of patterns
was burned. Many of them were very
valuable. He will begin to rebuild q
pattern shop and fitting shop at once.
! Mr.. KehOe has No knowledge as to the
origin of the fire. He thinks the building
/ was set Oh fire by a gang of drunken ne
! grOes who gathered in that section II
large numbers Friday night, and INDUCED
in discharging pistols and tire-crackers.

ELECTRICAL ORPHANS.
How the AIotherless Chickens are I'm
cred Info the World.

The chickens that chip the shc, If through
the electric heat, says Bc.,ston letter TO
the Hartford Times, are Naturally source
of much interest. Everyone has heard
about ''artiicis.I incubators," but CON-
parat1vely few have an opportunity to see
them IN operation, SO a few words de-
scr4ptive may not be amiss. They have
been in use but seven or eight years in
this country. There are two machines
shown. The larger size, which will hold
from twelve to fifteen hundred eggs, costs
5000. The smaller ones, which hold only
about $50 eggs, may be had for $50. A
tank of water heated bloodwarm, through
the agency of kerosene lamp, supplies
the required heat, while the nicely adj
iusted electric current keeps constant
and unvarying. Yesterday there was
quite stir among the eggs, and one could
see through the glass sides that three or
four OF the chickens had broken up house,
keeping in limited quarters and moved
into larger world. But they looked a
little disconsolate, and lay with their
heads hanging over their broken shells,
peeping like poor little orphans as they
are. One Of them had Clipped place
Just largegenough to look out of comfort
ably, and lay there giving little prepare
tory stirs, and acting as II IN not bit OF
a hurry. AS soon as they begin to look a
little lively, they are taken out and put
into the %'brooder." This is glass-covered
and heated, with sawdust on the floor for
them to scratch in and they take
to it naturally, and nesting
place for them to run into. This
has underneath tank of warm
water to send up heat, and overhead, at
four or five inches, slated covering, from
which fall warm strips of flannel, which
close around the chickens and have a
feathery effect. The whole thing is very
ingenious, and there is only one thing
about the chickens that is unnatural
and that is their tameness. They
wouldn't know a hawk from a hand-saw;
and you can take them up, they submit
ting with a slightly puzzled but perfectly
passive manner. When the exhibition is
really in order, they will be sold for Curl
osities. Little boxes to put them up in
are in readiness.

AT THE THEATRE.

Clara Morris Closes Her Engagement in
miss Multou'-The Weeks Attrac-
tiOns.
The Theatre was far from being filed
last night, but it probably never held a
more enraptured audience than that
which followed Clara Morris in every
move. The.play in which she appeared
''Miss Mu ltNn''-is a drama of wonderful
power, and the genius of the star
has made it distinctively her own.
Miss Morris is an actress beyond the
reach of ordinary criticism. Simple and
free from studied artistic effects her style
is pure. She wins her way to the deepest
emotions of the heart so easily and natur-
ally that it seems to be without fore
thought or effort. The play which she
has made famous affords every OppOrtuni-
ty for the display of her great emotional
power. She is supported throughout by a
splendid company. The following is the
cast:
Maurice de Latour .......... Frederic Bryton
Mons. Belln .............. Chas. a. Stedman
DIR. Osborne .-.........-.-.....R Obt. A. Fisher
Paul de Latour ....... Miss Clara NJ. Ogden
Gravesend. .................. John c. Elliott
Arabella Osborne --...... Mrs. NJ. y. Farren
Jane de LatOur. ......-..... Miss viva Ogden
Kitty Observation-Disclosures. ..... Miss Ada Crisp
Louise -...........- Miss Edith Bird
Miss Mutton -.-...-. cara MOTIFS
The presentation it is not possible to de-
scribe to those who have not seen it. 1t
is something to be seen-Once. The
strained attention Of the audience last
night was an evidence of TIE mastery of
genius. Although Miss Norris engage
ment has not been financially a crafty
ing one to Manager Johnson, it has given
the amusement public an opportunity Of
showing its appreciation of his efforts to
bring here the foremost talent of the stage.
The receipts of the two performances were
somewhat less than $1,000. The guar
antee to Miss Morris was $1,000.
The next attraction is C. B. Bishop, to-
morrow and Tuesday nights, in widow
BedOtt" and ga Case Of Wine," a new
play by the author of ''A Bunch of Keys"
The sale of reserved seats will begin at
Davis Bros tomorrow morning. Mr..
Bishop is too we'll known to the Savannah
amusement public to need any lndOrse-
ment other than the audiences to which
he has played in former seasons.

THE SUPREME COURT.
The Head Notes in Two Important
Cases from Savannah.

The Head Notes in Two Important
Cases from Savannah.
The Supreme Court, in affirming the
Judgment of the City Court of Savannah
in the case of the County Commissioners
against Coroner Sheftall, says in head
notes: cit issnot the duty of Coroner to
bury any pauper bodies except those on
which an inquest has been held, and the
limit of $1,000 for fees for holding in-
quests and burying dead bodies imposed
by S3701 of the code, applies to cases in
which it is the duty of the Coroner to hold
an inquest and bury the dead. But where
a number of pauper bodies were found,
and the Coroner began to hold inquests,
but discovering that the deaths were.
clearly the result Of storm, and that the
cases were not proper subjects for an in
quest, desisted, made no charge for the
inquests held, and, not officially but as an
individual, caused the dead to be buried
decently, he was entitled to be reimbursed
by the county. Code s766.
(a.) Acts providing for costs and sala-
ries are TO be strictly construed, and
neither can be increased by construction
and in any indirect manner beyond the
amounts specified by law.
In the case of Sanders VS.. the State,
keeping open a tipping house on Sunday,
the Judgment of the City Court was also
affirmed. The headnotes say: Keeping
open tipping house on the Sabbath day
is classed in the statute along with open
lewdness and notorious acts of publiosin-
decency, tending to debauch the morals
OF the people; it is not only itself crime
against decency, but is also the generator
of other crimes; and in administering the
statute against it, courts will not be as
tute in shielding violators of the law by
resorting to niceties of verbal criticism,
which would be destructive of the objects
and aims of the statute.
(a.) Whenever Il is shown that
house complained of is tipping hoGY;
that defendant is it's owner; and Eit
has been kept open on the Sabbat&y or
Sabbath night, the charge is c%pletely
made out, and without moNPthe jury
ought to ccnvict. If the housS@as opened
and kept open, against th~Owner's con-
sent, expressed or lmpG, either by his
clerk or some other person, or if it was
opened for any causaHOr purpose which
the law would justiXor excuse, and if
any of these facts b6shown, the defendant
would be entitled to be acquitted; but
such a defense must be established, and
it will not be assumed or it's existence in
ferred from the bare fact that the pro-
prietor wamnot visible to those resorting
to the ho&se on Sunday for the purpose of

A Handsome Fountain.

The successwhichhas attended the work
ing of the fountain filter at the Savannah
Hospital has led to the erection of
similar filter on the prem:sesOf DR.. Geo. II.
Stone, corner of South Broad and Haber-
sham streets. The werk was done under
the supervision of J. f. Daley, who con-
structed the fountain at the hospital, and
is about fifteen feet in height, the
principal basin of the fountain being
twelve feet in diameter, above which
are two sugar pans, which have been
utilized as smaller basins of the
fountain. The water is led from the
lower basin through a filtering chest and
thence into a well. where the filtered
water is collected. Mr.. Daley has shown
a great deal of taste in giving the foun-
tain a rustic appearance,

Which friendly conversation brought.
VI.
No wild impulses of tie heart,
Some powers dominion to enlarge;
But words and deeds bereft of art,
For friendships sake was true of GEORGE.
No selfish motives e'er found root
In his warm smile, or clasp Of hand;
But sentiments that find their fruit
Fu1-ripened in Gods sunny land.
And so l feel that when the light
OF Gods own sunshine met his eyes,
No cloud came dark'ning what was bright,
To rob the soul of glad surprise

A showing nearly similar is made with
reference to the management of the chain
gang. In 1888 it cost the county $l3,-
30S %. In 1884 the cost is estimated
at $9,425 %, and this is not likely
to vary any more than the
total given of the expenses of the Jail.
OF this amount $8,422 A went to finding
clothing and guarding prisoners, aud to
the purchase of implements, and
$1,002 81 for lumber, ETC., for the
Cuyler swamp canal, together
with the iron syphon, culve. ts, bridges,
etc. The appropriation made for the
fiscal year, ending in March, for the Jail
and chain gang was 900 each, and it is
thought that in both cases the cost will be
s.. 900 less than that amount

poultry, including turkeys, was sold at
prices which ruled in the market imme-
dately before Thanksgiving and Christ

The display ofvegetables was fine one,
the prices for the different kinds being
the same as have been reported during
the past two or three weeks, celery alone
showing a tendency to weaken, single
punches being sold at 10 cents, two
punches at 10 cents, although there were
a few punches of superior quality held at
from 20 to % cents. The supply of fish
was fair, the prices being the same as
have ruled for three or four weeks.
