A Lively Blaze Which the Firemen
Had no Water to Put Out.
The fire yesterday morning in the ex-
tended limits Of the southern part Of the
city burned three houses On Eleventh street,
near West Broad. One OF them, that Of
John II. Steadman, in the employ Of John
Rourke, had been occupied about a month.
10 vas twO-story frame building and cost
about 81, 200 and was insured for $500.
The other two houses burned were two
two-story houses, the property OF George
A. Lord, colored mail carrier, and of J.
+ Lolseau, and were not quite completed
The cost of each was 81, 200, covered by an
insurance policy Of 81 900 each in Reitze's
agency.
The distance from the houses to the near
est fire plug was about 5000 feet, too far to
BRING water into requisition 70 fight the
nre, but Chief Puder and the firemen were
at the hre, and by cutting down the fence
between the burning houses and the house
OF James Simms they saved his house, aud
prevented a more general conflagration.
A local alarm was first turned in, and
later boxes Al and IS we're struck. calling
out the entire force, but Chief Puder sent
BACK the engines, which we're massed at
Anderson and Whitaker streets.

RAIL AND CRoSsTIE.

The injunction obtained by the Central
railroad, few weeks ago, in the supreme
court OF Alabama, preventing the pro-
motors Of the Alabama Midland entering
Troy by the original survey. has been 10
versed in ths same court and by the same
judge, on q second aud complete hearing Of
the case. The road is graded from Balm
bridge 70 point within y miles of Troy,
When this point was reached the Central
authorities obtained an injunction against
the Midland on the ground that the original
survey for that road was on their right Of
way. The two roads VIII run parallel and
near each other from the point referred to
into Troy. From the time Of the obtaining
OF the injunction up TO the present the
work Of grading has been suspended.
over ninety miles OF the track OF
the Midland have been laid from
the Bainbridge end Of the line, the total
length Of the road being 175 miles. The
telegraph lines are all up between Balm
bridge and Montgomery. Over 2, 100 men
are employed in the construction of the
road. Contractor Foley has a large force
grading the road from Troy to Montgomery.
Several miles have been completed on this
portion Of the line. The promoters of
the new road expect that trains will be
running into Troy by November next.
The Alabama Midland will form a direct
route from Montgomery to Savannah
From Montgomery the new sroad will be
extended ninety miles west for the purpose
Of connecting with the Kansas City road by
way of Tuscaloosa, thus giving direct COM
munlcation with the western states from
the east coast. The importance of this ex-
tension cannot be overestimated. The
right-of-way has been purchased and sur
veyed.
third rail has been laid on the Florida
Southern rOadbed between Palatka and
Gainesville of the standard measure. Rail
road men, the Palatka Herald says, are
reticent on the new move and do not let the
public know their intentions for laying the
rail, but it is pretty well understood that
the Savannah, Florida aud Western is TO
use 1t to bring its through cars from Gaines
vile, in opposition to the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad.

FENCE IN THE HOGS.
The Legislature Asked to Take Steps
in That Direction.

Al ALdh OAAGGbAOAls
DR.. L. A. Falligant has drafted bill,
and has forwarded it to the representatives
OF Chatham county asking for favorable
action thereon. 1t is a bill to prevent hogs
from running at large in the county.
In an interview with the author of the
Dill, DIR. Falligant said that it is highly nee
essary that 1t should become law.
Let US take said the doctor, ga view
first OF the interests Of the city as they are
affected by the present practice of permit
ting hogs to run at large. On Hutchinson's
Island the city is at a continual expense in
keeping up the banks to protect the lands
from inundstion. On a recent visit of in
| spection l discovered many places along
| these banks where serious damage was
being done to them by hogs roofing into the
| ground. Unless the coIored people, who
lnhabit little cabins on and near the wharf
lots, and who do not own a foot Of the
ground, can be compelled to keep their hogs
IN pens, the city will he at constant risk
| from these weakened banks, and will at the
same time be powerless TO protect itself
against the risk.
The same condition exists more or less
IN connection with the lands east and west
OF the city and under its control. In our
| country districts the damage is direct and
| constant For instance, near Montgomery
shree or Iour colored people, who live near
| by, keep hogs, against which the entire
| people Of Montgomery have to fence at a
| large expense, covering many times the
value of the hogs. In my own case, after
an expense of several hundred dollars for
fencing to keep out $40 worth of hogs, l
find my premises constantly invaded by
these pests.
81 am glad" the doctor said, ''to be able
to say that the great mass Of fence men in
| this county will support the law drawn by
| me. l have already shown it to a number
OF them, and have yet to meet one who
will oppose it. There is one point on which
place great stress, viz: That the extra ex-
| pense to which the farmers of this county
are put in making their fences secure
enough to keep hogs out, amounts to fully
as much as 100 times the entire value of all
the hogs in the county. If we did not have
so much trouble about hogs, three-quarters
of the burdens of the present fence law
would be removed. There is still another
feature worth mentioning, viz: That an
acre of potatoes will feed a SOW and pigs
during the year, but lazy people don't want
to take the trouble to plant the acre OF
potatoes"

The SaleSmen's Association Makes a
Note OF the Movements Success.
At meeting of the Retail Dry Goods
Salesmen's Association held last night at
Emmett hail. the committee appointed to
note the number of late shoppers visiting
the dry goods stores reported the number
to have somewhat increased since July
the cause of which they attribute to the ex-
tremelY warm weather. The ladies in GEN
eral, however, have been very kind in as
slsting the saiespeople in the early closing
movement
A salesman who has been working in
Savannah for many years said that it had
been his experience that it is extremely
difficult 10 induce some people to make the
slightest sacrifice in order to benefit their
fellow man. yet the same people demand
the greatest sacrifices from others.
The report was accepted and the commit
tee was continued after having been
strengthened by the addition of two MEM
bers IL The association instructed the com
mittee to use its efforts in gaining the as
| sistance of the shopping public to induce
the stores to close at e p. IN. during the en-
tire year, as they do in nearly every other
southern city.
The association will petition the different
corporations, and others employing a large
number of workmen, to make Monday their
pay day instead Of Saturday, thus obviat-
ing the necessity of keeping the stores open
Saturday nights until IL O'clock
After the regular business had been com
pleted the association was entertained by
literary programme which had been previ-
ouSly arranged by the amusement COM
mittee. a similar programme had been
arranged for the next meeting which takes
place Thursday Aug s.

the rear of the shop one afternoon and the
next morning it was gone Nobody had
been in the shop but himself and two other
workmen, who have been with him for a
number Of years, and Brickman suspected
the old colored woman of stealing it. He
| discovered piece Of shingle with sperm
from a wax candle on the floor near the
door. He asked the woman if she had a
| candle which she could lend him. and she
handed him one which had been burned
down low. Ii was the same kind Of sperm
that he found on the floor, and fitted the
place on the shingle where the other candle
had been. He then accused the woman of
taking the umbrella. She denied it, but
offered Brickman another umbrella if hs
would settle the matter The warrant was
issued for her and she was arraigned. The
charge Of larceny was made out against her
and she was committed to Jail.

THAT NEW BALE.
Some Doubt About Its Being All New
Cotton.

Some Doubt About Its Being All New
Cotton.
The cotton exchange in passing upon the
new bale Of cotton received day before yes
terday, expressed some doubt as to its genu-
ineness. Mr.. Stubs of Garnett, Stubs &
Co., who received the bale, stated to a
MORNING News reporter the day it was re-
ceived that the bale had not been passed
upon officially by the classification commit
tee. 1t is true that the
exchange was not asked to
classify the grade of the cotton, but it
was asked to examine the bale to determine
whether it was new cotton, and whether it
was wholly of this seasons growth, which
the exchange did. Ia the absence of
the members of the classification
committee g the president of the
exchange appointed a special COM
mittee Of five members of the exchange,
as follows: James Z. Stewart, chairman;
Philip D. Daffin, w. c. Lyon, D. |. McIn-
tyre aud IL. Weber, to examine the bale,
and their report was as follows:
I'VE have this day examined one bale of
cotton marked g S. ~ Co. submitted to
the exchange by MessrS. Garnett, Stubbs q
Co. as new cotton. We think the cotton
too well matured TO be wholly of this
| seasons growth, although there is evidence
of new cotton in the bale.n

THE FoRDs' BIG HIT.
THE Private Secretary the Perform
ance of the Season.


ance of the Season.
Society people were out in force at the
theater last night. A sea of faces, many
of them under shapely bonnets, and more
than passing fairn to look upon. awaited
the going up of the curtain, while the band
played in front OF the theater.
The play was "The Private Secretary"
and the Fords gave an excellent perform
ance, which mad all the smoouhness of
play that had run for weeks.
The cast was well adapted and the char
acters were all well sustained. There are
many humorous situations in the play
which called for frequent applause and a
good deal of laughter, notably, the scene
where the private secretary first meets the
rich East Indian, "Mr. Catermole." The
leading role, THE Private Secretary" was
admirably played by James Neill. His
peri was a succession of happy
touches, and his acting compared favorably
with that Of Gillette.
Larry Doyle as "Catermole" caused an
unlimited amount of laughter.
j. f. Doyle as douglas Catermolen was
very good indeed
The impersonation of Sidney Gibson. y
an ambitious tailor, by w. Fleming was
one of the best features of the performance.
bis drunken scene made decided hit with
the gallery.
Messrs. X. j. Warrick, Fl. T. Estill, W.
Mcleod, T. S. Morgan, Jr., and w. E. Nor
rison were excellent in their roles
Miss Julia Arthur was admirably fitted
for the part of Miss Ashford, y an old maid
inclined to spiritualism, and her impersona-
ton called forth great deal of admiration
from the audience. Miss Arthur is an
actress Of no ordinary merit.
Il Miss Van Sickle, Miss Helen Sedgewick
and Miss Annie Helen Blanche had little to
do but to display their costu nes, and show
off their most engaging manners and sweet
voices
The comedy as whole was admirably
played, and the finale in the last act was
| one Of the neatest bits of ensemble work
that the company has given. The bright
anticipation of the large audience fjr a
hearty laugh were fully realized. The play
will be repeated on Monday evening. Al
though crowded, the house was not 50 warm
as many expected that it would he.

a NEW MOTHER sUPERIoREss.
Mother Genevieve Now at the Head
Of the Sisters of Mercy.

Mother GeneVteve Now at the Head
of the Sisters of Mercy.
Reverend Mother Genevieve is the new
superioreSs Of the Sisters of Mercy in
Georgia. She is now at the Sisters con-
vent in this city. Reverend Mother Aloysius.
the retiring superioress, has served two
terms of three years each, and
could not be reelected under the
rules of the sisterhood to third term until
a term has interviewed. Mother Genevieve
was in charge of the Sacred Heart convent
in Augusta when she was elected, out she
was formerly of Savannah.
The Augusta Chronicle says of the early
life of the new head Of the sisterhood
Eighteen years ago, in the graduating
class of the st. Vincent academy,
in Savannah, a slender young girl Of
modest mien, but OF remarkably bright
face and intelligent bearing was
awarded the highest honors of the in
stitution. Annie PrendergaSt had spent her
life almost in the walls of the convent
school and was a savori,e with teachers and
classmates. Her honors were modestlv
worn, but richly deserved. During her
stay in the convent she had be.
come deeply impressed with the con-
secrated lives of the Sisters of Mercy
who had instructed her, and she deter
mined to join the order and follow in their
footsteps. Only a few months since her
graduation had elapsed when the accom-
plished and beautiful girl took the vows
and donned the sable and simple garb of
a sister Of mercy. She was called Sister
GeneYieve.n
