FIVE THOUSAND PIPES BURST.


$4,000 the Estimated Damage by the
Freeze in the city.
A plumber said yesterday, while busy
working away al leak in pipe, that he
has net had a square meal since last sun
day. Every working day during the week
he was on the jump.
give thousand is a small estimate for
the number Of burst pipes" continued
the man OF capital.
Hardly q house that takes water from
fhe mains that has not had trouble. A
Bmall number Of citizens took the preeau-
zion 70 turn the water out Of their pipes
before the freeze began. In many cases
the hot water pipes are the ones that
burst. the bead of the household sup
posed that the cold water would freeze
and to prevent 1t shut of the water from
those pipes, but did not turn II oil o! the
: Dot water pipes.
For several days there was really a
water famine. The family that escaped
without a freeze never had SO many
neiQhbOrs as last week. From all direc-
1ions they came with buckets and pitchers.
The plumber was not very
falkative On the subject OF the
probable cost to the citizens OF the
gold snap. He seemed a little sensitive,
hut finally yentured $4,000 That in
Diudes the 400 or more gas metres and
damaged carpets, walls, etc. Perhaps
that figure is too small. The householder
Is yet TO be heard from vino had all OF his
leaks repaired on the first visit OF the
master Of the situation.
A gentleman, relating his experience
fast night, said that he sent for plumber
on Friday. The reply was that the leak
would be attended to in the morning. A
NssF and Afenufahea nd
Ehe answer came back that the plumber
had 80 calls 20 make before this particu-
Tar pipe'ooUld be mende3. The gentle
man lives IN hope that the king OF work

Plumbers say that i'm most cases they

The ones that can be got at easily. The

COLD WAVE AND THE FISH.
The Coast Darkeys Make Big Hauls
Along the Shores.

The Coast Darkeys Make Big HauIs
Along the Shores.
The fish market was uucommonly well
supplied yesterday with trout. Many OF
the stalls were piled up with that variety
of fish to the exclusion Of the other kinds
usually found at this season. Cedar
Hammock, Skidaway, Isle of Hope, Will
mngton and Whitmarsh islands, and
other places furnished fish by the cart
load.
Hhe attendant at one stand tried to in
yeigle NEWS reporter into squandering
q quarter on a string of fair-gized trout.
The reporter explained that his laudlady
bought the fish which he eats. The dusky
trout veuder cOnhdenUaliy whispered
that the past week was a very good one
for fish. Ten deg. above zero was too
much cold for the fnBy tribe. The dar-
key fishermen say that the trout came
close in shore, and were So nuubed with
the cold chat it as no trouble 10 catch
them with scoop nets. These same fish
ermen have ali idea that the water was
warmer inshOre than where it was deeper.
Some Of these oatchers of fish said that
they had no trouble in picking the trout
up by hand. An Italian dealer at one OF
the stalls confirmed the statement by re-
marking that the negroes found the fish
dead. The negroes along the coast are
said to be living on these fish, which they
claim are not injured for eating purposes
by being frozen.

SPIRITS ADvANCING.

RumOrs of Corner in Turpentine Ex-
cite the Market.
The spirits turpentine market was I'M
usually strong and excited yesterday, and
the street was abundantly supplied with
rumors, which were industriously circu-
lated.
II was reported that one large and we'll
known operator had cOrnered the market,
and that by Tuesday spirits would be
likely to touch soc. the truth Of the
situation really is that the market has
been under the control Of one large
concern for more than two months past
While the receipts have been steadily de-
creasng the actual stock on this market
at The close yesterday was only 1886
casks. the bulk OF which is In second
hands, factors having little or no stock
to speak of. Consequently those buyers
short on contracts were moving around
pretty lively to cover, so that all sorts of
prices were the rule and at the close BIZ c.
was bid for regulars and refused showing
an advance of fully re. for the day, and
OF Dc. for the past two days.
With all this excitement on the market
it was not accompanied by any activity
in sales. In point OF fact there was little
or no business doing, only 100 casks rep
resenting the days transactions. There
would certainly have been more doing if
factors had the stock TO offer, but the
market was bare.

Voyage-DrIven Across the Gulf Stream.
The schooner Sadie Wncutt, Capt. Gil
christ, arrived in port yesterday from
Baltimore with a cargo of guano con-
signed to the Central railroad. The Will
cult was 10 days on the passage. The
last eight days she encountered severe
weather and tempestuOus seas.
The captain, IN relating the incidents of
the voyage to NEws reporter, said: 1--WE
lett Baltimore on New Years day, ana
passed out from Cape Henry on Jan 8.
Up to this time we had fine weather,
which continued until the Sth. About 4
o'clock in the afternoon of the Sth, when
on Frying Pan shoals, we encountered
heavy squalls from the southwest. The
wind canted around to the west, and dur
ing the night increased TO a hurricane.
The blow lasted for three days. Tremeud-
Gus seas broke over the vessel, sweeping
She decks, ard carrying away everything
movable. The forward house win
dows were stove in, the
cabin was flooded with water. and
we were compelled to board up and lash
the skyiights. The foresails were blown
away and the stern boats were filled with
water, bending the daRits out OF shape.
The first mate, while reeting the mamsail,
WAS STRUCK by 4 heaYy sea, knocking
him under the main boom. He was
severely injured, and has been unable to
report for duty since.
The weather was intensely cold and
the crew suffered from exposure. During
the gale we drifted across heGulf stream
as far as II east longitude and had several
heavy hail squalls, both in the stream and
the other side of it. The temperature
was miIder on Jan. n when we re-crossed
the stream and headed for Tybee. After
that we had heavy northeasterly winds
all the way down until we anchored on
