stroys $4,000 of Property.
Fire broke out at 2 o'clock this morning
in shoe shop kept by Robert Tolbert
| (colored) in Bay lane, in the rear of No. 6S
Bryan street, near Lincoln. The shop was a
small one-story building. The fire started
on the floor, and almost as soon as it was
discovered the flames Durst out through the
windows and doors, and, spreading over the
roof, communicated to the two-story store
and dwelling at the corner of the lane and
| Lincoln street.
| Policeman Arnold discovered the fire,
and turned in an alarm from box No. Z,
but before the firemen could get to work
the two buildings were mass of flames,
aud were beyond saving The
corner building was an unoccu-
pied grocery store Joe McC1ennan, porter
at the Oglethorpe Club, lived up stairs, and
he lost most of his furniture. The fremen
worked to keep the flames from comuuica-
ting to the row of houses on Bryan street,
and they partly succeeded. Although the
houses were considerably damaged they
were saved
The store and dwelling at the corner
of Bay lane and Lincoln street,
and also the house at the corner
of Lincoln and Bryan streets, were
owned by Mrs. Thomas Wall The
house adjoining the one on the corner was
occupied by Tolbert, in whose shop the fire
steeted. 1t was owned by the DeRenne es-
tate. The next house is also owned by the
DeRenne estate, and was occupied by Mrs.
Jane Crotty. :. The corner house,
owned by Mrs, Wall, was I'M
occupied. The fourth house west
of Lincoln, which was slightly damaged in
the rear, is owned by Mr.. George w.
Wylly, and was occupied by several fami-
| lies of negroes.
The shoe shop and the store and dwelling
next to it were totally destroyed. The most
of the furniture was saved but considerably
damaged. The buildings are supposed to
have been insured, but Tor how much could
not DO learned. The total loss by the fire
will probably not exceed $500
How the fire started is unknown Tolbert
said that he left his shop early in the even

Capt. Taylor was in the pilot house when
the collision occurred, and the first intima-
ton that he had Of vessels approach was
when the outlines OF square rigger doomed
up on the steamers port side. Almost in
the same instant the crash came. For
time there was the widest excitement, and
confusion reigned on board The steamer
careened heavily from the shock, and the
passengers rushed from the staterooms into
the cabins and on deck. The boats were
got ready while a hurried examination
OF the vessels injuries was being made, and
the passengers were provided with life pre-
servers and we're told to get ready to take
the boats. As soon as it was learned that
the steamer was not leaking, the passengers
were quieted, and the remainder OF the trip
was made without incident. The weather
was rough from the time the Gate City left
Boston harbOr until Tybee bar was crossed.
THE STRANGER SHIP.
A New York dispatch to the MORNING
News, received at 2 o'clock this morning,
reports the arrival at New York of the
vessel which is without doubt the one that
was in collision with the Gate City. The dis
patch says: The bark Rebecca Crowell, from
Auckland, N. z. reports that she was i'll col
lision Friday night last, at 2:20 o'clock, off
Barnegat, with an unknown steamer.
Capt. Feyler, who IS in command of the
bark, said ~ was on deck at the time
There was a very heavy fog. We had
heard the steamers whistle for some min
utes and we replied to it, so that she must
have heard us. | don't think she had any
excuse for not keeping clear of us, as we had
the rlght-ofway. The steamer crushed
into our starboard bow, carried away our
foretopgallant mast with all attached. The
bowsprit and jibboom and stem, cut water
and forecastle deck, in fact cutting the nose
completely off our vessel. Tho steamer
must have been considerably damaged, but
kept right on without waiting to learn how
badly we were injured. The fog was so
thick and the night so dark that we could
not make out her name, but from the course
she was steering judged she was bound
for Savannah

THE NEW WILCOX BUILDING.
a $4,000 Structure to be Erected
for M. Ferst 81 Co.

for M. Ferst 81 Co.
The result of the recent settlement be-
tween the city and Wilcox and Gibbs Com
pany and the Waldburg estate will be the
erection of a new building on the site of the
old structure on the north side of the Bay
and east OF Whita ker street.
The new building will be of pressed
brick with marble and Indiana Sand stone
trimmings. 1t will be five stories on River
street and two on Bay street, having a
frontage of 1876 feet on the Bay. It's cost
will be $4,000 The building will be with
out doubt the most convenient and ecouo-
mioal il its location Tor receiving and
delivering goods of any in the city. As it
will front ON three streets, River, Whitaker
and Bay streets, and from either dray
may load or unload freight from the door.
This building will be followed very soon,
it is expected by similar improvements ex-
tending to Bull street, thus restoring that
entire block TO its original pre-eminence as
one of the chief business blocks in the city
The new building will be completed by
Sept. Is, and will be occupied by NJ. Ferst
& Co.
In conjunction with these improve cents
the owners of the property are to widen
River street by removing the line of their
warehouses, so as to give thirty feet space
for railroad purposes. The owners of this
property think that this will result in the
building of the road under the Factors
Walk the entire length of River street.
The new building will DO known as the
Wilcox building.

to number of lapsed estates in this county,
and stated that he understood that under
special act of the Legislature such property
reverted to the educational fund of this
county. Dr. Read said that there was
quite large sum of money represented in
such estates, and he thought if the law gave
it to the board of education, it should be
looked after. He mentioned that among
the lapsed estates he knew Of were those of
Thomas Mcclure, a Mr.. Hammerle, and
Miss Bailey. He moved that a special COM
mittee be appointed to inquire into the

THEY PRETTY NEAR FOUGHT.
Justice Sheftall Asked TO Issue a "Scan.
erlous'' Warrant.


erlous" Warrant.
Charles Hardin, colored, swore out a
peace warrant in Justice SheftalIs court
yesterday against jasper Frazier. Hardin
stood some little time in deep study after
he had the warrant issued, and when asked
what he was thinking about, he said, ~
wus jester studin whedder ter sue out or
scanerlous warn't gin him"
When asked whaO he meant he made his
statement. A day or two ago Hardin car
ried trunk to Anderson street for Fra
zier's sister. Frazier claimed that no
charged Acc. when lie should have
charged only 25c Hardin denied
it, war of words ensued and the
two men in a minute more would have been
rolling in the dust had not white "gener-
num-" as Hardin said, come up and stopped
them
Hardin went on to say that Frazier
abused him in every way he could think Of
and intimated that he could "back upn
what he said. He added that this was
an attempt on the part of Frazier
to scandalize him, and he was seriously
thinking of having a warrant taken out for
him on that score.
Frazier did not turn up, however, and
neither could he be found, so nothing was
done with the case yesterday. Justice
Sheftall will look into the matter more
fully to-day.

Improperly Fitted Glasses Dangerous.
Dr. George S. Norton, of the New York
Opthalmic College, q well known author
ity, says:
1T is rare that specialist finds a per-
feet eye The most common complaints are
myopia and hypermytropia, or near and
far-sightedness. The care of the eye is far
moro important than most men realize. The
improper Use of eyes whica are weak, re-
suits in a variety of complaints. It often
causes headaches, depression and sometimes
nervous prost"ation. These can generally
be remedied, if not cured, by tue use Of
glasses. In the purchase of glasses the
sufferer cannot be too careful The use Of
glasses that are improperly adjusted to the
eye IS ottentmes more injurious than help
full Another common complaint is called
asugnat SIN, which consists of the irregular
curvature of the cornea. In such cases one
part of the eye may be myopic, while the
other is hypermytroplc. To avoid this,
gas IS must e used with lenses specially
