again call the attention Of the visiting pub
lie to the handsome and valuable display oi

tains thirty different styles Of vehicles,
consisting of four covered and one open
family carriage, thirteen top and SIX open
buggies, three carts. three cottage gigs,
and three ladies phaetons. Good judges,
who have examined the above stock, say
that for variety, make, finish and quality of
material used, the exhibit has never been
eNcelled on the Pacific coast. 4 gentle
man who is visiting the city stated last
evening to the writer that Mr.. HIS
display of pleasure vehicles surpassed, in
point of excellence, anything of like
character attempted at the Centennial Elk
position. We desire 10 call the attention
of the public to one fact with regard to this
collection, and it is this, thatnOt one single
carriage or buggy now on exhibition was
made for that purpose, but on the.contrary,
they have all been taken out of the ware
rooms promiScuously. to be displayed in
competition with other California work.
The Pacific wheel and carriage works are
located on J street, between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth, ana occupy nearly half a
block. The machinery is all Of the latest
and most improved make in use. No ex-
pense has been spared to make this the
leading and model establishment of the

"Reminiscences OF the Old Unitarian
Church and TIE Structure that Sue
ceeded it.
The work of demoIishing the old State
Arsenal, which has been going on since
last Monday, viii be completed in proba-
bly, another week, and the site viii be
ready for the new structure. In cOnnec-
ton with the demolition of the old build
ing, reference to the Guards former
armory may not be uninteresting. This
building was ON the lot on the
southeast corner of Bull and York
streets. 1t was large frame
structure on a brick basement, facing
north on Wright square. The front
porch was supported by heavy wooden col
umns. The edifice was built about 1885
by the Unitarian congregation. This de-
nomination sold it, and some years after
wards built a brick church on Oglethorpe
square. This was also sold and taken
down, and the material used in st.
Stephens (colored) Episcopal Church, on
Harris street, corner of Haber-
sham, the building being almost a
counterpart of the last Unitarian Church.
The Unitarian Church first mentioned,
that on Bull street, was sold to the Bap-
fist denomination and was known as the
Second Baptist Church. 1t would appear
that it was not good location for house
of worship, for it had to be again sold in
1857 or 1858. 1t was bought by the Guards,
then in the zenith of their ante
bellum glory, under the command
of Capt. James p. Screven.
the father of Col. John Screven, who was
subsequently commander of the battalion.
1t was their headquarters when the strug-
gle between the States began, and from its
hall the Guards marched to battle. Like
all other buildings of its kind in the South
it was used for military purposes during
the Confederate war.
During the occupancy of the city by
Sherman's army it was used as barracks
for Federal soldiers, and while thus occu-
pied caught fire one morning, and in an
hour was a heap of ashes. The lot re-
manned vacant for a number of years,
when the present one-st0ry buildings
were erected upon 1t. Recently the
Guards sold the property, and the fund
obtained from the sale will be used in the
construction Of the new aTmOry.

FIRE ON sHIPRoARn.

A Blszs Among the Cotton In the Hold
OF the civilian Crane"-The Vessel
on Her Way to Sea. and Returns to
Her Wharf-But Little Damage Done.
Another cotton fire on shipboard, the
third for Savannah within the last five
days, took place yesterday afternoon.
This time the Merchants and Miners
line was the sufferer. The steamship
William Crane was the scene OF the con-
fagrat1on. The Crane LEFT her wharf for
Baltimore at 3:15 O'Clock. She had.
cargo which included AS bales of cotton,
800 barrels of naval stores, 81 barrels OF
oil, LOIS boxes of oranges, and 90 barrels
of rice. Her passengers were Mrs. A.
Nelson, Miss Celia Burch and FL. r. Co
dy. When the vessel was just below
Fort OglethOrpe if was discovered by the
engineer that the cotton stored in the al
ter between decks was burning. omOAe
was noticed issuing through the smart
alley and the scuttle hole. About 20O
bales of cotton were stored here. PROMPT
measures were at once taken IoE
the safety of ship, passengers and cargo.
Capt. VIM 81. Billups, the master OF the
VIM, Crane. is an experienced officer
with a cool head, and his crew is
thoroughly disciplined for just such emer-
gencies as that presented. Steam was at
once turned in and the work OF locating
the fire begun. This was soon done, ana
a hole was cut through the deck ana
heavy streams of water turned on the
flames. AS soon as she was lar enough
down the river to turn she put back TO
Savannah and BY the time she arrived at
her wharf, shortly after O'Clock, the fire
was cut. Several tugs offered assistance,
but it was not needed, and it was not
necessary to secure aid from the nre de-
partment to get them to flood the hold.
Word was, however, sent to- hlei Fireman
Fernandez, who dispatched a detail
of firemen to play on the smoulderlng
bales of cotton as they were discharged.
OF the $50 bales stored III the after be-
tween decks about % are probably burned
and scorched. The ship is not damaged.
The admirable management OF capt.
Billups and the splendid discipline OF his
crew is highly spoken OF, and to this is
due the fact that the fire was not more
serious. The passengers behaved very
cOolly, and say they will have no uneasl-
ness about continuing the voyage. The
Crane will sail this afternoon.
This is the second cotton fire which has
taken place on the VIM. Crane
within the past year. She was
commanded at that time by Capt.
Taylor, and the fire also broke out
in the after between decks. The IRE
burned from where it broke out-Oh Mar
tins Industry Iightship-until Baltimore
was reached, and by last running and
good management, Capt. Taylor was able
to save the ship and cargo.

AT THE THEATRE.
The Weeks Programme of Amuse-
ments.


The sRomany Ryeo will be the attrac-
ton at the Theatre tomorrow and Tues
day nights. The sale of reserved seats is
larger than it has been for any perform
ance during the season. The houses on
both nights, from the indications on the
box-sheets, will be packed. The play was
produced il Charleston on Friday night
during the Democratic celebration under
circumstances that might have discour-
aged the brayest managers. The NelCS
and Courier says: 'sThe theatre was al
most crowded, and well were the audience
repaid, Seldom has there been seen on
the Charleston boards so pleasing an ag-
gregatiOn of mechanical and spectacular
scenery and effects. The play itself is
deeply interesting and splendidly acted"
On Wednesday evening Miss Kittie
RhOades will begin her engagement in
Gilbert's burlesque comedy Engaged"
The NelcS and Courier says of the COM
pany in Charleston that they
afforded their audience the dou-
bic pleasure of seeing an entirely
new play thoroughly we'll played.
Engaged is intended to amuse, and ac-
complishes its purpose without descend
ing into farce. Its humor is simple, gen.
uine and hearty, and, though at times
broad, is never coarse. Charleston
theatre-goers seldom have the pleasure
of seeing a performance so uniformly
correct in all its parts, and at the same
time performed with so much spirit.
BY reference to their advertisement
elsewhere, it will be seen that Messrs.
Davis Bros, the enterprising young book
sellers and stationers, know a good thing
when they see it. AS the demand for
seats at the opening of the box sheet
began yesterday morning, they COM
menced negotiations with the manager.
great expense bought him out, and will
have in connection a holiday drawing, IN
which $500 worth of goods will be dis
tributed among the audience. A hand
some souvenir will also be presented
every person present. The admission fee
entities everyone to all of these benefits,
no extra charge being made.
