BORROWED, BUT COULDN'T PAY.
The Burlingame's Engineer Goes to
Jail on Account of a 60 Loan

The Burlingame's Engineer Goes to
Jail on Account of 81 Loan.
William McGregor, chief engineer of the
steamer Arson E. Burlingame, bound for
Savanilla, was arrested yesterday on the
complaint of Col. G. l. Taggart, who
charged McGregor with cheating and
swindling, and Justice Naughtin committed
him to jail.
1t appears from the statement of Col.
Taggart that he lent Engineer McGregor
81 on Sunday, in consideration of promise
that he would get the boat to load coal
at Taggart's wharf The vessel is a steam
propeller bound for the Magdalena river in
the United States of Colombia, where she
is to ply, and she is owned by the Atlas
Steamship Company of New York. She
put into this port for coal, and yesterday
she took on her coal at Murphy's wharf.
When Col. Taggart found that he
was not going to coal the vessel
he instituted criminal proceedings
against McGregor. He was offered a
a draft on the Atlas Steamship Company
for the money advanced to McGregor, but
declined to receive anything but the money
loaned; and, as the chief engineer did not
have that sum about him, he was lodged in
jail.
McGregor has figured in the Justices
courts of Savannah before. He attached a
vessel here about two years ago in Justice
Waring Russells court, and gave bond,
and. as he never appeared, the bond was
forfeited, but he paid it all up from his
wages while employed at Darien.

friends. Drs. Duncan and Charlton
were with him during his illness, and
did all that medical science could do.
but unavailingly, the suddenness and

treatment. The patient was thought to be

THE COTTON PRESS RUNE.
The Health Authorities Looking Into
the Sanitation of the Place.

The Health Authorities Looking Into
the Sanitation of the Place.
Complaint has been made Of the stagnated
water in the ruins of the burned compress
property Of the Savannah Cotton Press
Association.
Alderman Harris, chairman Of the health
and cemetery committee Of the council,
said last night that complaint was made to
him a week ago, and he instructed the
health officer TO have the water drained
off, il necessary, and fresh water puton the
ruins. He presumed that it has been done.
If cold weather prevails. Alderman Harris
said that there is no danger, but II the
weather should remain warm, and the
water is permitted TO remain and stagnates
it will, of course, be prejudicial to health.
Chief Fireman Puder says that the water
has been drained or, and without dealing
with the debris from a sanitary point OF
view he thinks the unconsumed cotton and
jute should be removed as a precaution
against fire.
Alderman Falligant does not think that
there is danger from a sanitary point OF
view at this season OF the year.
As there have been no final adjustments
of the losses by the cotton press fire, the
debris has not been removed, because it is
not clear who should remove it. There
may be some friction between the fire and
marine companies as to where the loss shall
fail, and, as the matter Is still unsettled as
to who shall pay the cotton losses and to
which class of insurance companies is in
terested in removing the cotton for salvage,
the matter has remained in stGtu quo. The
owners Of the cotton compress company. it
is understood. await the adjustment, which
does not appear to be any nearer solution
than it was a week after the fire.

The cry of scarcity of freight cars con-
tinues throughout the country, says the
RoitUGy Age, and every important road is
daily in want OF hundreds and often thou
sands OF cars which it cannot get. Mean
time, the car shops are overcrowded with
orders, and are making rapid additions to
the supply OF rolling stock, while the traffic
appears to maintain still more rapid rate
of increase. This would be a very salts
factory state of things for railways to con
template, Notwithstanding the annoyance
which they and the shippers have to endure
from lack OF facilities, if the rates were not
cut so close and if it indicated permanent
increase of traffic. But rates are low and
the demand for cars is a yearly occurrence
caused chiefly by the rush of agricultural
products to market. In a few months a
change will have come, and the Age pre-
diets that miles of idle freight cars will be
seen strung along all the great roads

Bull Street Blossoms Out with a New
Pharmacy.

Bull Street Blossoms Out with New
Pharmacy.
The new branch drug store of Solomons
& Co., which was opened yesterday at No.
20 Bull street. is probably the most elegantly
finished in its interior fittings of any store
IN the south. All of the counters are of
solid mahogany with carved panels, aud
the show cases are of polished rose wood and
beveled plate glass. The shelving is of solid
mahogany surmounted by bronze panel
pictures, and the prescription case is Of
mahogany and stained glass with bronze
panel pictures
The soda fountain was manufactured
especially for the recess which it oc-
cuples, and it Is elegantly mounted
with mahogany center piece and beveled
plate-glass mirror. E. H. Bangs of Boston
came on and took diagram of the room,
ana made the rich fixtures and shipped
them In sections, with man to put them
up. Mr.. Reese of Chicago, formerly of
Albany, Ca, who will be prescription clerk
at the new store. says there is no store in
Chicago of neater or richer design. Mr..
Solomons visited Townsville some time ago
and was so pleased with the elegance of
some of Mr.. Bangs fitting to a drug store
there that he opened a correspondence with
the gentlemen, who came on, and the hand
somely carved mahogany with its bronze
panel pictures is his latest design.
An incident is related of Mr. Bangs
which shows what a consistent temperance
man he is. A saloon keeper was so much
pleased with the fixtures he put up at
brownsville that he wanted to engage him
to put up something like it for bar room.
Mr.. Bangs declined, saying that he was a
prohibitlonist, and could not entertain such
proposition.
But l am willing for you to state your
own price," said the saloon keeper
1T is not a question of money" replied
Mr.. Bangs. "Of course, to do this work |
would be expected to make it attractive,
and will never do anything to attract my
fellowmen to drink rum, for that is lust
why you want it," and so saying, he turned
on his heel aud left the saloon keeper dunn
founded, as he thought his money would be
all potent

A NEW SAVANNAH.
A Former Sevannahian Hardly Recog-
nizes His Old Home.


James F. Watkins. whose presence in the
city was mentioned in yesterdays paper,
paid the MORNING NEWS a visit later in the
day. During his residence in Savannah,
which covered a period OF twelve years.
Dir. Watkins was one of the most energetic
! and enterprising merchants in the city, and
as the managing partner of Orff & Wat
kins be did much toward building up Sa-
vannah's trade. The older readers Of the
MORNING NEWS will remember his firm as
one OF the most liberal patrons of its ad-
vertising columns.
AFTER leaving here in 1879 Mr.. Watkins
spent several years In California, but lately
has been located in New York as the eastern
agent OF one Of the largest white lead
manufactures Of Pennsylvania, in which
ne IS a stockholder. His business since he
left Savannah has taken him to
all parts of the union. and his opinion of
Savannah is worth having. He had heard
great deal of the city's growth and pros
perlty, but he had not conceived the vast
ness or the improvements that have taken
place in ten years. A new city has been
QUILT up where there were swamps and open
commons when he lived here. Not only has
the city grown in territory, but in the
older portion, with which he was most
familiar, new buildings have taken the
place OF old ones, and there is an IN
mistakable appearance of general pros
perlty equal to that of any of the busting
western cities Of whose growth so much has
been said.
Mr.. Watkins said that in the north and
west the south is attracting not only the at
tention of capitalists but of the people, and if
the latter could be made to fully appreciate
the advantages offered, the cheap lands,
cheap labor, and freedom from the hard
ships imposed by the severe winters, and
that the southern people are glad to have
them come, there would be an immense
immigration southwark. Mr.. Watkins is
confident that a few years more will see
great changes. and the southern states will
be the favorite section for those seeking
new homes.
Mr.. Watkins left Savannah last night
and proposes to visit other points in the
south before he returns north. He is anxious
to see Birmingham and those cities in the
mineral regions of Alabama.

The Match Question.

1t has been suggested that as it is too late
in the session to secure legislation on the
dangerous parlor match, that the city
council may have jurisdictional powers to
suppress the match in Savannah by ordi-
nance The question will be brought up at
the next meeting Of council, and the corpo-
ration attorney will be asked to give an
opinion as to whether or not the match may
not be kept out of the city by ordinance.
