SUNDAY MORNINGS BLAZE.

The Losses Less Than at First Esti-
ma ted b. UuII Amount Of the Insur-
ance-I eident% of the fire.
The scene Of yesterday morning fire
at the Grand Central Garden was visited
during the day by large number Of peo-
pie. the majority OF whom, though resi-
dents Of the city, knew nothing of the
fire until reading the morning papers.
The origin OF the fire remains a mystery.
Officer Moran, a Waterman around the
banks at the corner Of Bryan,
Bull and DraytOn streets, said that
he was at the corner of DraytOn and ST.
Julian streets, and saw no indications OF
a ire at - O'Clock, but before he reac he'd
the corner Of DTaytOn and Bay street lane
he saw dense volume of smoke floating
over his head towards the north. Facing
about he saw a bright illumination
in the direction of the Marshall
House and fastening to the signal box he
turned in an alarm.
Mr.. W. a. Wehrenberg who occupied
the four story structure, said he was
awakened bv some one pounding on the
door, and looking out he saw the danger
he was in. He escaped with but little
clothing, and yesterday appeared on the
streets in a pair Of pants and boots, a
shirt and other articles Of apparel
which he succeeded in borrowing
| from a friend. He had about
81. 900 insurance on his furniture and
| $. 800 on his stock. The fire did no damage
| To the lower portion of the structure. In
the front portion Of the bar, near the
BrOughtOn street entrance, was a desk
containing a number of valuable papers
| belonging to Mr.. Charles Seller. This
| desk was broken open and the papers re-
moved.
A large quantity of champagne and other
/ liquors and several hundred cigars were
also stolen. Mr.. e. A. ii. Umbach, who
was at the fire and saw the goods being
removed, attempted, in the absence OF
/ the police, to stop it, but before he
| succeeded was himself arrested by order
Of the Chief Engineer, charged with in
/ terfering with the fremen.
! The apartments occupied by Mr.. Frank
| link and family, on the upper floor, were
/ completely Quilted, and yesterday the
! greater portion of the plastering fell from
/ the ceilings in that and the lower stories.
/ Probably the heaviest loser was Mr.. Sci
/ linger. who occupied the Grand Central
/ Garden, and whose furniture and other
/ goods were valued at about $1,000. This
! property was wholly destroyed. The in
suTance amounted to but 800.
The second story of the building, Occu-
| pied by Mr.. Charles RatZ, adjoining the
/ garden on the east side, was slightly
/ damaged by the flames, which burned the
! windows and their castings on the side
/ overlooking the garden.
! ON this floor Mr.. RatZ had quantity OF
| clothing of more or less value, which had
I been left with him to be renovated. The
| greater portion Of these goods is supposed
/ to be damaged by smoke and water.

The Cheapest in Savannah

We build our business up by marking
our prices down. 1t is a fact compliment
tary to the industry of the sex, that most
men wear out two pairs of pants to one
coat and vest. Accordingly, about this
time of the year, when gents. usually re-
plenish that part of their wardrobe, we
prepare for raid upon our stock of pants,
and as our assortment is large-prices
way down-it will be worth while for men
or youths who want good pants to come
and see ''The FamOUs.7 Opposition, they
say, is the life of trade; but where real
merit and low prices are the established
foundation of business, opposition
proves unavailing. Such house is The

your Clothing from ''The Famous" the

The Opening Meeting for Young People
Last Night-Addresses by Three Min
listers.
Rev. George G. Smith, a well known
evangelist Of the North Georgia Confer
ence, addressed a meeting for young peO-
pie at Trinity Methodist Church last
night. The morning service was also
conducted by DR.. Smith, and five persons
united with the church. Rev. DR.. Adams,
of the Presbyterian Church Of Augusta,
was also present last night. and delivered
an interes ting address. During his re-
marks he said that man does not have TO
20 to heaven to find the holy places Of God.
They are wherever God manifests
himself If the soul could he separated
from the body il would see God as near TO
1t as It is to itself. God is always coming
to the sinner, and all that the sinner has
to do is to accept Him. By faith the sin
ner can come to God and accept Him.
Short eXhOrtatiOns were also delivered
by Rev. Mr.. Smith and Rev. TT. Christian
pastor of the church. About &c persons
went to the altar for prayer.
The services will be continued during
the week. Special services for the bene-
tit of Sunday school workers and children

The wonder of those who go to the Har-

lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can be offered to the public at such mini
mum rates. Without exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as that of
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Cou yeous treatment makes
up the sum ofits attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation
