O'Clock. 1t started in a small stable near
Hbe house, and is supposed to have been
caused 10y not ashes being thrown upon a
nile of straw. a high wind blew the
flames IN the direction of the house, which
soon caught and, being an old building,
burned very rapidly.
When the alarm was struck from the
Fayannah, Florida and Western freight
depot the firemen were at tue Ocean
Steamship wharves working on the fire
in the steamship Lancas, er, and IL was

THE WEATHER.

Another Hurricane Reported-In-
dications for Rain.
There was a slight rain yesterday, the
frst in several weeks, but it was so slight
that the signal service men called it in
apprecIable. The weather was threaten
Ing all day. A hurricane was reported
southwest of Havana on Friday,
moving IN a westerly direc-
tion, and IL is probable that
II affected the weather here.
The Chief Signal Bureau at Washing
ton sent out to all stations on the South
Atlantic coast for special reports, but up
20 last night there were TO indications
here OF an approaching storm. AZ Key
West at 10 o'clock a heavy thunder storm
wasin progress, and the wind was blowing
twenty-elght miles an hour from
the southeast. There were no
further reports OF the hurri-
pane. The signal men say that ii has
probably goue into the Gull. IL may be
heard from today. The local indications
are for rain.

Hppreciabe rainfall reported In the cot

Col. Fl. S. Haines, General Manager of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way, received dispatch last night stat
ing that the steamship Mascotte, of the
Plant Improvement Company's line,
running between Tampa and Havana,
which has been having extensive addI-
tons made To her in Philadelphia, sailed
from that port last night for Tampa, where
she will relieve the steamship Whitney
on Thursday next. The MascOtte's first
class cabin accommodations have been
Increased and Storage accommodations
have been added. IL was at first intend
ed TO lengthen the steamer, which is the
fastest American vessel aflOat, but it was
found that there would not be time to do
so this season. The Whitney, which has
been performing the mail service during
the absence of the Mascotte. will, upon
the latter's arrival at Tampa, proceed to
New Orleans and be overhauled, after
which she will resume her place in the
line and will make, in connection with
the MascOtte, the tri-weekly service re-
quired by the United States government

BARNUM THIS WEEK.
His Last Trip i'm This Country BE
fore Going 10 Europe.

lore OOlnS 10 EUROPE.
Barnum's Great London and United
Shows, which will be here on Friday, will
be the amusement attraction OF the week.
Barnum's visit to the South this year Is
experimental. The expense Of transport
ing the show is something that few people
can understand, and the long jumps that
have to be made from one place to another
hardly justify brin ging so large con-
solidation into this country, 1t was de-
cded, however, TO make the experiment,
and the entire shows, the same as ap-
pear in the North, will be here. Those who
may remember the circus as it existed in
their younger days will have the oppor-
tunity of making comparison between
what the circus used to be and what 1t is
to-day. Then it was simple, crude
affair, with one ring; now it is, as exem-
plltied in these shows, perfect reyela-
ton.
The features to be exhibited this year
by the Rarnum and London shows will be
the fOur-horse Roman @chariot racing,
double-team Roman standing racing, ex-
citing male and female jockey racing,
huge elephant hurdle racing, camel
racing, dromedary racing, fiat races, foot
races, running races, wheelbarrOw races,
comical sack races, giraffe races, mon
key jockey races, man-horse races, and
GDe mOsL ldUSnaDl0 ana humorous OL All
are those known as the obstacle races.
To stimulate the contestants Mr.. Rarnum
has arranged series of cash prizes. All
these new performances are added to the
regular exhibition, which takes place in
three rings and upon a stage, and which
is kept complete and intact, the entire 100
acts being given. Never in the history of
the circus has there been so great an
amusement enterprise as the one now
presented by the united Barnum and Lon
don nine shows.
In addition to the triple circus COM
pany, with its 800 performers, there will
be elevated stage performances and the
Roman hippOdrOme, museum of living
wonders, two double menageries, an ele-
plant pavilion with herd OF elephants,
clown elephants, droves OF giant camels,
ETC.; the wonderful reproduction of the
colossus Jumbo, and the ivory-boned
skeleton; Alice, Jumbo's widow; the in
ternational congress of giants, troupe of
Arabs, the Miranda band, and the great
est male and female CIRCUS riders to be
had for money. Everything that large
wealth can procure 10 to be found In these
mammoth shows, aud, as the entire en-
terprise will go to Europe in the fall, this
is the last chance to see 1t and all 1t con-
tains. The big street parade VIII take
place Friday morning at 8 O'Clock.

Visiting the Dioceses.

Monsignor Mort, member of the papal
household in Rome, who has been depu-
tized by Pope Leo to visit the various do
ceses in the United States and ascertain
their actual standing and report in per-
son to the pontitf, is in Baltimore. Mon
signor Mort is also to inquire into the
manner of selection OF candidates for
BshOprics when vacant. In some parts
of the country dissatisfaction has been
shown against the Bishop solely naming
the candidates, three OF whom must be
named TO the Pope, that he may make his
choice. The clergy claim that they should
be consulted. The MODsignor will be
asked to suggest method to equalze the
opportunities for priests and Bishops
alike naming their preferences. He ar
rived in this country on the same steamer
with Count Mucoiola and MOnsignor
Straniero, who came with the zucchetto

VEGETABLE CROP HURT.
Dry Weather lniIring the Crops
and the Winters Plant.

Dfy weather inJurInS the Crops
and the Winters Plant.
Very few vegetables are in the market
now, and such as are IN seem to be small
and to have suffered from the dry weather.
About the only truck in the stalls yester-
day were snap beans, which were selling
at sc. per quart, radlshes DC. per bunch.
young turnips &C. per bunch, spinach DC.
per bunch, and sweet potatoes 15c. and
2Oc. per peck.
There is no scarcity Of Northern vege-
tables. but the above are about the only
ones brought in by the Savannah
growers.
Great complaint is made by the gar
deners about the dry weather. They say
that it 10 not only injuriDg the growing
crops badly, but that nothing thew plant
now will come up. They have planted
several times but as yet have been unable
10 get stand of anything. This Is eN-
ceediugly unfortunate, as Just now Is the
most important part OF the whole year
with the truck farmers. The tall crops
should be up and growing, whereas the
planting has all got to be done yet, This
will of course make every thing late in the
winter.
One prominent grower said yesterday
that most vegetables will be at least
month late unless there is rain within the
next few days. and the fact OF their being
late VIII affect prices considerably, as the
farmers win lose the advantage of being
in the market earlier than a number OF
other places with which they will now
have TO come in competition.
