One OF the Things that has Injured sa-
vannnh-Houses of Wood Favored.


Editor H0ptng AeDs: If the express
sion Of opinions on the able editorial you
published on tho fire ordinance signi-
iies anything, tue people oil Savannah are
| surfeited with the iniquitous FIRE ordi-
nance. / had occasion 10 90 down Aber-
corn street yesterday and was particular
10 notice the Improvements which our
esteemed citizen. Nj Letter, had 10
/ plead tor before Council The altera-
tons spoken Of are q decided improve
ment, and the idea Of their being opposed
Is o rejection on savannah intelligence.
There are few things that have injured
probably only two the war
and our misfortune in ls7B-more
than this ordinance. We have
rather damp climate, and houses Of wood
are decidedly the driest houses built.
Especially IS this 30 here, where
the bricks are pieces of sponge, aud
each one will absorb halt
pint Of water. Certainly he drier houso
L. the healthier, aud J rather think our
physicians regard houses Of wood the
more faYorably, as the majority OF our
prominent doctors live 10 them For the
past ten years our want has been 20 build
up waste places. The fire ordinance
almost produced paralysis IN building.
and as soon as 10 was lifted in the new
section now buildings went up. Between
CASTOR and Gwlnnett, while wooden
houses We're permissible, about one
half the lots were built on.
Since Gwnnett has been the
limit, few, if any have been built upon.
What IS the relative cost of of a brick
house and a wooden hou4ey Near one
half in favor Of wood. Fhis alone should
abolish the ordinance Can one wonder
then, why people don't build more in old
savannah, and when they do they have
frequently dngy looking box, in
stead OF q homo-like dwelling? Did
auy ono ever see a brick house in
savannah built for 5000, unless il was "a
very small tenement; And yet look
OF the handsome homes built of wood for
$4,000 and less. There is no doubt brick
buildings are stronger, and therefore tor
stores, where a heavy stock is carried,
brick should be used. Dwelling houses
oil wood are healthier, cheaper and pref
tier than those OF brick.
Now about fires. Our streets are too
wide for a fire to spread far, and a con-
yersation with many of our firemen will
convince people that wooden house on
fire can be saved easier than a house of
brick. Gamacraw was no criterion, as
the streets there are very narrow. Be
sides how many fires were there before it
burnt, which burning was to Savannah's
benefit. Our City Council must believe
the ordinance beneficial, but why don't
they investigator They certainly do not
keep it to help them or any OF them to sell
a larger quantity Of brick which they may
make, especially as savannah brick are
exorbitant, worthless and ugly.

Although railway construction in the

aggregating according to our recohl 3,S70
showed a very great falling OFF IN
mileage from several prccedint,years,
there was general expectation VII bn the

show a still smaller addition OF newt roads
than its predecessor The Htlii,Cda
Age, in this connection, gives
some interesting statistics. The

FIRE ON THE LOUISVILLE ROAD.

store ana Contents burned at the
One Mile Post.
The store of Christopher Simmons, at
the one-mile post on the Louisville road
was burned at 2:30 O'Clock this morning
The building and contents We're a total
loss. A clerk, who slept in. the store, was
awakened by an explosion. In
an instant the whole building was
ablaZe. and he had barely time to
make his escape. The light inhammabie
goods and the oils burned even more
readily than finder. No alarm was turned
la but Chief Fernandez started out with a
hose carriage and engine, followed by a
hook and ladder company. He was met
on the suburbs of the city by mounted po-
liceman who said that neither the
building nor contents could be saved, and
the tremcn returned.
The store house is owned by Joseph
johnson, colored. No one knew whether
il was insured or not. The loss is esti-
mated at ST., 900. How the fire originated
is unknown. It's thought that II had been
burning some time before the explosion
occurred. What exploded is a mystery,
some suppose powder or oil. The blaze
could be plainly seen from the city, but
was hard 10 locate. The building was
occupied by the simmons family.

0ae noticeable feature about Jewish
cemeteries in the south is the scarcity
of newly made graves after an epidemic
of cholera or yellow fever. Statistics
shows that fewer of them die than any
other race from these or kindred diseases,
During the cholera scourse in Toulon
only two orthodox Jews died of it,
while in numbers they equalled fully
90 per cent of the population. Their
immunity from disease, and the certain
ty with which they recover when attack
ed by it, is accounted for by the simplici-
ty OF their diet. They are very strict
about following the dietary laws prescrib-
ed by Moses. Isn't it little strange
that AIoses, il he was emily historian,

To the Editor OF the LEADER: |

Two Juniperites went to the noun |
tains on hunting expedition, staying
three days and coming back with their
wagon loaded with a couple Of turtle
doves, after having been cut in all the
rain. A party who went on a fishing
expedition to the Columbia met with
similar success.
One OF the sheep men who had his
band stationed on Juniper was. a month
age, very jubilant over his prospects of
financial success, and spoke Of farming
in this country as very small business,
but the late rains rather reversed things
by killing large number of his sheep
and putting an altogether different as

now talk of every small business y
Turn about is fair play.
Still the E. O.'s list of Juniper corre-
spendents increases. "Youno" is the
latest, and he has created quite sensa-
tion by sending to that paper a lot OF
spicy(?) items which amount to about as
