THE SAVANNAH STEAM LAUNDRY
In Their New Quarters-The Bigges

In Their New Quarters-The Biggest
Laundry il the South-An Interest
ing Talk With NJ. Prayer, the Pro-
prietor.
The great question has been at last settled
and the greatest and best equipped laundry
which has agitated the south for a number
of years has been done here. M. Prayer is
the man. Full of enterprise ssand thrift,
with all the capital that it required to carry
out the scheme, he has devoted his whole
time and energy to the requirement Of such
a laundry He has studied the plans and
the operations Of an immense concern COM
mensurate with northern laundries, large
in It's proportions and ample in its appoint
ments, which eclipse anything of the kind
in the south and compares favorably with
any concern in the north. This immense
structure covers over a quarter of an acre
of ground and is situated on Lumber street,
between Zubly and Margaret streets. A
NEWS reporter met Mr.. M. Prayer, the
proprietor OF this enormous enterprise, yes
terdsy, and had an interesting talk with
him.
"Yes, it requires some time to start it, u
said he, ''but think Savannah is entitled
to it. have expended in the neighborhood
of $40, 900 on it, and no improvement which
would better equip me for the laundry bust
ness has been neglected. think" con-
tinued Mr.. Prayer, 81 may safely say that
my accommodations are in every respect
ample"
"Did you find it necessary to increase
your capacityP
Eyes; the steady increase of my business
necessitated my going to this expense.
needed more room, and think have got
it,"
Have you all the latest improved ma
chineryP'
"Yes, there is nothing later. The laun-
dry is equipped with the very best and the
latest improved This is one of our latest
additions. 1t is a 75-inch mangler with a
capacity of 1900 pieces per day. l have
also put in two new brass washing ma
chimes"
"How many hands do you give employ
ment to nowP
about thirty"
"Wil you still have your old place on
Congress streetp
"Yes, that will be used for convenience.
All packages and orders for wash will be
received there and receive the closest at
tention"
81 suppose" remarked the reporter, "that
you have all the work you can do, judging
from the rusl every one seems to be in. -
"Yes, we are pretty busy, but you see we
are better prepared for the increased bust
ness, having more room. We can dry fan
nels and blankets in the open air."
"How do you manage in rainy weatherln
"Oh, we have SO 900 feet drying space, so
rain will not interfere with u.s.
"How are you protected from fireF'
"There is n fire plug in the center and
one on each side of the building. | am also
arranging plan by which, in case of fire,
the entire building can be flooded from the
top"
The Savannah Steam Laundry has al
ways been one Of the most literally patron
lied industries in the city, and in fact, in
the state, and since the accommodations
which have just been added there is no
reason why 1T will not be more fairly
patronized Mr.. Prayer is a deserving man,
and his rfforts TO place Savannah in the
lead and make her accommodations equal
TO those of the north will be appreciated by
the public.

The Ceremony to Take Place a Week
from To-Day.
Rev. ]. Frederick Dripps, who was called
TO the pastorate Of the Independent Presby-
terian church last month, will be installed
next Sunday. The session of the church
extended Rev. DIR. Thompson, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Charleston,
an invitation to conduct the install
laion, and he has accepted the in
vitation. The installation will take
place in the Trinity Methodist Sunday
school room at the morning service. Rev.
DIR. Thompson will preach the installation
sermon, and will deliver the charge TO pas
tor and people, DR.. Axson, pastor omeri-
tus of the church, will also take part in the
installati IN service.
To-day's services will be held in the First
Presby church. Rev. j. w. Rogan
is out of the city and there will be no services
by the First Presbyterian congregation
The Independent Presbyterian Sunday
school has been rendered Hunters hall a.
Chatham academy, and the school will
assemble there at 430 o'clock. 1t
is likely that this will be the
permanent place Of meeting until the
church rebuilds the Sunday school building.
The Sunday school rooms of Trinity
church, which will be used by the congre-
cation of the Independent Presbyterian
church, will be occupied by the congrega-
ton for the first time Thursday afternoon
at the 80 o'clock prayer nesting.
Mr. ID. r. Thomas said yesterday that the
building committee is actively at work to
expedite matters pertaining TO the rebuild
ing OF the church. TIE COMMITTEES has been
thoroughly organized, and q chairman,
vice chairman, secretary and treasurer have
been elected. The committee has an en-
gsgemenu with an architect tomorrow, for
the purpose Of discussing plans
for the restored building. A number Of
estimates OF about how much the structure
will cost have been made privately. The
church has little accruing TO it from its out
side property, and the bulk Of the rebuilding
fund will have to be raised by and through
the congregation. A stipulated amount,
coming from the rental of the ohurch's
property, is reserved for the distressed
churches in the country, and the salary Of
the pastor and other expenses come out OF
this rental and that of the pews, SO that
there is a small residuum, and it can hardly
be considered as tending to augment the
building fund. The congregation realizes
that vigorous steps have got to be taken,
and it is gong about its work full OF hope
and determination.

Insurance Men Recommend Better
Water Supply in the Heart of the City.
Mayor Schwarz had conference yester-
day with General Manager W. d. Dean, Of
the Compact Commission Of Georgia, in re-
gard to insurance matters, in which Mr..
Dean expressed dissatisfaction be-
cause Savannah has not hy-
draulc pressure such as other cities
have. Mr.. Dean informed the mayor that
a recommendation has been forwarded to
Atlanta to the compact commission, the
burden OF which is calling attention TO the
lack Of pressure in the water mains. The
mayor said last night that Mr.. Dean has
promised to have copy Of the recon
mendations FURNISHED him for consideration
by the proper committees and by the city
council. 1t is understood that the recon-
mendations point to an increase OF the lu-
surance tariff, provided TIE mains in the
business part Of the city are not enlarged
and ample pressure guaranteed.
Mayor SchwarZ said that he could not
give any intelligent opinion as to what the
insurance companies want until he has seen
Mr.. Deans communication to the compact
commission. He said, however, that the
committee on water works and the fire com
mlttee will give the recommendations early
and proper consideration, and he has no
doubt that any practical suggestions that
Mr.. Dean may make for better security
from fire, and to obviate paying increased
insurance rates, will, as far as lies in the
power Of the council be adopted.
Most of the losses by the recent fire have
been adjusted, and drafts will begin to
reach here this week. Inquiries at four of
the leading agencies in the city last night
developed the fact that the companies have
been settling promptly, and that in two or
three days the entire losses will have been
adjusted
The insurance adjusters and visiting
agents have been invited by Alderman
Herman Myers, receiver of the Tybee Rail
way Company, to visit the island to-day,
as guests Of the road, and they have
accepted the invitation. The train will
leave the old depot of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway yard at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon, standard time, and
the stay on the island will be ample for the
excursionists to visit such points Of interest
as the new hotel in rapid process of erection,
the new club house Of the Chatham artil-
lery, the lake, the switchback railroad, and
many Of the less recent improvements.

TOOK ALL THEIR MoNRY.

The Proprietor of Rodgers Intelli-
gence Office Much Wanted.
A colored man by the name of Rodgers,
It would appear, has been fleeing both
white and coiored people here and abroad
He opened an employment bureau at No.
157 South Broad street some months ago,
and occasionally put a five-ine notice in
the s'cheap column Of the MORNING NEWS.
Rodgers also answered all the advertise
ments of those seeking employment, and
from the general complaints against him
he has had more than one victim in his
trap.
In many instances Rodgers received small
gums of money for which he agreed to find
employment for those who applied to him
and TO furnish help to those whose adver-
tisements he answered, and once getting
the fee in hand that was the last of it.
Complaints were made 60 ex-MaYor Les
ter during his incumbency of the mayors
Office, and Rodgers was arrested on a war
rant sworn out in Justice Naughtin's court
by indignant colored victims, but when the
time for examination came on the prose-
cutting witnesses did not appear, and
Rodgers counsel, Hon. William Clifton, had
his client discharged.
Since then a carpenter has sworn out a
warrant against Rodgers, alleging that he
paid Rodgers 81, and that Rodgers sent
him to two or three persons who denied that
they had ever asked Rodgers to get them
man. Rodgers, failing to return the money,
was arrested on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. He gave
bond in the sum of $500 for his appearance
xor a preliminary examination. Justice
Patterson said yesterday. that he has set
to-morrow to hold the examination,
but Mr. Clifton says that he
has been unable to find his client to notify
him. Rodgers could not be found at bis
Intelligence officen yesterday nor the day
before. and If he does not put in an appear
ance before Justice Patterson the prelimi-
nary steps for estreating the bond will
probably be taken, if good cause cannot be
assigned for his non-appearance.
Fred T.. Norris, a nurseryman Of High
land Park, Fla, wrote to the MORNING
News on April 2 that Rodgers q Co. had
answered en advertisement for help, and
stated that IL Norris would send them SIS
for railroad fare they would send one or
two men. None were sent, and Norris
wrote offering to take 81 If they would
return the money. Receiving no reply he
wrote the MORNING NEWS to SEQ Rodgers
and collect the 81. Rodgers was sent for,
and promised to come back and return the
money to be forwarded TO Mr.. Norris, but
did mot put in an appearance. He is a
dudish negro, very black, about % or 30
years of age, rather polished in department
and wears a silk plug hat, sports q cane,
and Is plausible talker.
