COLLAPSE OF A ROOF.
The Roof of the Round House at the
Central Yards Gives Way.

The Roof of the Round House at the
Central Yards Gives Way.
Nearly two-thirds of the roof of the round
house of the Central railroad fell in with a
crash yesterday afternoon, shortly before
o'clock. The roof. which was of corrugated
Iron, resting on brick outer
wall, and interior brick arches
supported by iron columns, col
lapsed, the roof falling on the engines
stored in the round house, the most of which
had steam up. William Ryals, hostler,
was the only one injured by the accident
He received very slight injuries about the
face
When MORNING NEWS reporter was
there last night Superintendent Hege was
looking after the removal of the engines
from under the debris of the fallen roof. He
said that the dilapidated condition of the
roof, which was twenty-five or thirty years
old. had led to the work of renewing it, and
the northern, or Harris street portion of
the roof had been taken down, and the
work was under way of removing the entire
roof, to DO replaced with a new one About
2:45 o'clC ok one of the columns gave way
and let down the roof on the eastern and
southern portions of the building, leaving
the western portion intact.
The entire damage, Supt. Hege thinks.
=. will not exceed $500, and is principally to
'@1he engines. The roof being low the fall
was not great, and hence the damage was
very small. The corrugated iron roof was
30 thoroughly eaten up by rust that the jar
of the fall shattered it into small pieces
The debris will be rapidly removed and a
new roof substituted at once. There were
some very narrow escapes, but, fortunately,
Tue engineers and firemen were more scared
than hurt. The dead engines were pulled
out after the accident, and some, which had
steam up, steamed out from under the roof,
which fell on the floor as tine engines passed
out from under it,

The youths Entertainment.

The Youths Historical Society gave a
pleasant entertainment at Masonic hall last
night. The entertainment opened with an
interesting debate. The subject was: IRE
solved, that imprisonment for life, as a
punishment for murder, is likely to be more
eifectual as a prevention of crime and a
terror to criminals than capital punish
ment"
Messrs F. S. Huffman and d. s. Gard
ner affirmed, and Messrs. S. +. Dryfus and
M. H. Haym spoke on the negative side Of
the question. The debaters handled the
subject well, and showed that they were
well up in what they were discussing. Vice
President d. A. Byck presided ably, as he
does at all the public entertainments of the
society. The debate was followed by rec-
tations from members 81 the society, and
the remainder of the evening was spent in
music and dancing.

BURaLARIEs ALONG THE RIVER.
W. H. Rays and Cooley 81 Co.'s Stores
Robbed,

W. H. Rays and Cooley g. Co.'s Stores
Robbed.
Whiting the past ten days several stores
under the bluff have been broken into and
burglarized. A few nights ago the store of
w. H. Ray, at East Broad and River streets,
was entered, the money drawer was rifled,
gold watch which has been in the drawer
for long time was taken, and a desk con-
tanning all the firms business letters was
broken open, and the letters to be mailed
were Intercepted The burglars effected an
entrance through the rear door of the store
by wrenching off the lock. When they
made their exit they left the door open.
Going further up River street, a night or
two ago, they entered the store of t. Cooley
81 Co., at the foot of West Broad street. and
stripped the money drawer of between So
and 81 in change. A bag well filled with
old coins, which was in the drawer, was
placed upon the counter and the burglars
went through il, but, finding no cash, they
left the bag lying on the counter. The
thieves helped themselves to cheese crack
ers pickles and lager beer, leaving part
of their supper on the counter. They en-
tered the store through a glass window in
the second story. An opening in the win
dow glass, large enough for a man to get
through, was made, and the thieves entered
from above and went down into the store
room below. They were very deliberate in
what they did, and scattered crumbs of
crackers, cheese and other eatables over the
floor and even out upon the street. When
Mr.. s. l.. Miller, one of the firm, went
down to open up the store early yesterday
morning he found the back door wide open,
and, after hastily examining the money
sdrawer, he sent for Mr.. Cooley. 1t is EVIL
dent that the thieves, whoever they are, are
not new hands at the business.

FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED.
Another Dublin Firm Said to be Unable
to Meet Obligations.

Another Dublin Firm Said to be Unable
to Meet Obligations.
1t was learned yesterday that ]. o. Nc
Rae & Co., dealers in general merchandise,
had yielded to financial embarrassment and
suspended payment. If the report be true,
it is the fourth failure within the month at
Dublin. 1t is understood that the firm has
been considered weak for the past six
months, and the trade has not encouraged
very liberal purchases. 1t is said that while
Savannah merchants are among the credit
ors, they will not DO caught heavily. Ina
bility to realize on their country accounts is
assigned as the cause of the failure.
The failures of the past week or two have
led to a great deal of discussion among job
bers in this city, and there is considerable
feeling over successive losses A gentleman
who has canvsssed the situation said the
farmers ought not to be slack in meeting
their obligations, as the cotton crop last
year was good-in fact, very large crop,
and this year equally as good. That the
dealers in general merchandise should at
tribute their losses to the farmers was mex
plicable, except on the hypothesis that cred
It's were advanced far beyond the means Of
planters, and as farmers are generally con
sentative in their business relations, some
other explanation must be made.

MOULDY WITH AGE.
Madeira Wine Over Half a Century
Old that was Bomb Proof

Madeira Wine Over Half a Century
Old that was Bomb Proof.
A group of gentlemen yesterday was dis
cussing the age Of wines. when ono of the
speakers remarked that he believed the
Oldest wine on the American continent is
in Savannah. 1t is Madeira, and is not
only noted for its great age, but for a
historic incident connected with it.
Questioas flowed in upon the speaker
asking the age Of the liquor and its FORUM
ate owner, and led to the whole story
coming out. The wine in question is OF
the vintage of 1888, and is consequently So
years of age, but what is more remarkable
is its narrow escape from destruction. In
1862 William NJ. Davidson, Jr., was born,
and his father, who was connoisseur in
wines, put up a five gallon demijohn of
Madeira wine then 30 years old, and some
five or six dozen bottles of the same vintage,
with instructions that the seal should not
be broken until his son and heir should
attain his majority.
Two years later, during the Sherman
occupancy OF the city, the magazine on
West Broad street exploded, and one of the
shells crashed down through the roof and
floors of the Davidson residence on Con-
gress street and buried itself, without ex-
ploding, in box in the basement which
contained the wine, without breaking a
bottle. Five years ago, upon the 2lst ami
versary of young Davidsons birth, about
two gallons of the Madeira, then so years
old, was drank by invited guests. and New
York offers of $l0per bottle have been made
for the ripe old vintage, hut money can not
buy it. 1t is believed to be the Oldest wine
in the country, and those who sampled it
five years ago say it was SO rich that the
effect of one glass of the liquor was felt
three or four days later.
Since that time the seals have not been
broken and are not likely to be soon, except
for recording, t. better preserve it for
later and particular occasions

KANSAS CITY-SAVANNAH
Let Us Have a Celebration in Feb.
ruary.

LOU Ob f1dY6 u S0loOTdtlOn III poO-
ruary.
Editor Morning Ne,Os: The suggestion
made in your paper to celebrate the con-
nection of this city by rail with the north
west is eminently proper. The Importance
of Savannah Is not well understood, and
any movement which will aid in placing us
before the country in true light cannot
fail of good results.
It is perhaps not known to many Of our
citizens that Savannah does more business
for its population than perhaps any city in
the whole land. She does business of over
800, 600 900 annually, and ranks, in point
of exports, as the third city IN the United
States, tSee Sholes' State Gazetteer.)
There is no reason why Savannah should
not have population Of $4,000, and 1t is
coming and coming rapidly. We have
number of business men here who have
given little attention TO the local prosperity
of our city, but have simply used the place
rs location where they could max @
money. These men are beginning to take
more interest in local affairs and to place
their surplus cash in such enterprises
as will benefit the community. Tho
rich rich one; its possibilities are
incalculable. and with the increased inter
est on the part of our capitalists in the COM
munity's local welfare, Savannah is des-
tined to be, in few years, the most inn
portant commercial point, as she is the most
beautiful city, in the south.
Let us open wide our gates and invite the
northwest to come IN and see us and form a
correct opinion of what we are. l.. NJ.

Gold Weather and Rains on the Coast.

Yesterday was the coolest day of the
season. The highest point reached by the
thermometer was 40, and at s o'clock last
night the mercury had dropped s. lower. A
rain set in yesterday about the middle Of
the afternoon, and it rained unremittingy
until midnight, and rain was still falling at
that hour. Rains were general along the
Atlantic seaboard from Wilmington to
Jacksonville. A cold wave seems TO have
visited the New England states, where the
weather last night was clear and cold. The
indications for to-day are: Threatening
weather and rain, slightly warmer in
eastern portion, stationary temperature in
western portion, and northerly winds.
