THE FIREMEN's BUSY DAY.
Half Dozen Fires Between Midnight
and Noon.

During the burning of the three build
ings on Bryan and Lincoln streets, yester-
day morning, sparks set fire to four other
buildings. The damage, however, was not
great. Chief Fernandez was notified Of the
three first fires, and firemen were detailed
to work on them. The first houses that
caught were tenements belonging to BenJa-
min Cannon. They were on the north
side of Bryan street. between Habersham
and Lincoln. The damage was between IS
and SO. There were several families occu
plying the houses.
The firemen were quickly called away
from Bryan street to a dwelling at the
southeast corner of Lincoln street and Bay
promptly extinguished. The loss was prob
ably not over S.. The firemen had no more
than turned their steps toward the main fire
when they were called to a burning roof on
Congress street lane, just west of East
Broad street, and they readily put out the
fire there.
When the main fire on Bryan street was
turned in from box No. Is, and
four engines responded. The fire
was in the roof of building on
Broughton street, between Price and
Habersham. A small hole had burned
through, damaging the property not to ex-
coed Sl5. Chief Fernandez and his firemen
turned in" few minutes before daybreak
as wet as rats. While the houses on Bryan
street were burning the brick warehouse on
the north side of the lane caught fire on the
roof, and the chief and a couple Of his men
entered the building through broken win
dow and extinguished the flame without
injury to the building.
Robert Warner, fireman of No. 3. Hose
Company, was vigorously fighting the fire,
when his attention was attracted to the
bowling of dog. Upon looking around
he saw large nastif chained to burning
post. He stopped minute to rescue the
animal, and when he had done so the dog,
as if to show his gratitude, reared upon the
fireman and, licking his hands, trotted off.
Mr.. James Crotty, the owner of the dog,
said that the animal had never before
allowed a stranger to pass within his reach
unbitten.
At 1915 yesterday afternoon the fatigued
firemen were again called out to a fire in
building on the southeast corner of Hall and
Price streets. The building was owned and
occupied by Alexander Barbee. The fire
originated from sparks from burning
chimney. The damage was slight, and was
estimated at 500.

THOMAS GRIFFIN ARRESTED.
Before Justice Russell for His ARRAY
With William Alexander.

w IN w llllam Alexander.
Detective Wetherhorn arrested Thomas
j. Griffin yesterday morning at his home,
No. 20 William street. and took him before
Justice Russell, where he gave bond for his
appearance in the City Court Griffin was
the party charged with assaulting William
X: Alexander at the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway yard Saturday. In re-
ferring to the matter, he said that he did
not strike Alexander with hammer, but
with a bit-brace
According to his story, he and Alexander
were employed at the same work, and used
the same kind of tools Their only means
of distinguishing the tools was by their
private marks on them. Griffin had missed
bit, and inquired of the employees about
1t, but was unable TO find
it. Nothing further was said
about the matter until Saturday, when
Griffin was at work at ventlator, and he
asked some Of the workmen for a brace and
bit. They handed him Alexander's, and,
upon examining it, he recognized it as the
one he had lost. He asked Alexander where
he got it, and Alexander replied that he
bought it. Griffin then showed him his
private mark, and told him that the bit
was the one he had missed.
Alexander denied having taken it, and
some words passed between them, when
Alexander seized the bit, and, taking it to
a work bench, broke it in pieces.
Griffin had the brace in his
hands, and seeing Alexander
break his bit, he dealt him a heavy blow
on the forehead with it. He said that he
had not been trying to elude the officers,
and he knew all the time that he would
have to be brought before the magistrate
for the affair.
He acknowledged having asked for his
time, but said that it is rule of the COM
pany that whenever an employe is known
to have been connected with an affray he
is promptly suspended until the matter is
investigated

A BIT OF HISTORY.
Origin of the Name Rosedew-Giveu
by Sir Patrick Houston.

by Sir Patrick Houston.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in as
to whether Rosedew plantation ever was
named Rose Dhu. DR.. Falligant recently
called ON Mr.. Isaac Beckett to ascertain
whether the colonial records threw any
light on the subject. From these records it
appears that the grant to Sir Patrick Hous-
ton in 1855 included the plantation and
island as 800 acres, but no name is men
toned for the property. In a deed from
his widow, Priscilla Houston, to Joseph
Bolton, or Butler, in 1865, the property is
conveyed under the name Of Rose DeW, so
that it is evident that this beautiful name
was selected by Sir Patrick Houston him
self TIE same name, Rosedew, appears in
the successive titles OF conveyance since.
The town of Rosedew." being Dr. L. A.
Falligant's subdivision of the Coffee Bluff
plantation Immediately adjoining Rosedew
