Two Fires.

This morning at 4.45 o'clock the
fire department was called out to eX-
tinguish the fire consuming the
stables of alderman Wulff, at the
corner of Garden and King William
street. How the fire originated is
not known, though it is attributed
to cigarette smoking. The adjoining
buildings were saved. The loss is
estimated at $500 and the insurance
is held by the Florian agency.
The second fire to-day occurred at
$50 o'clock this morning and was
located in the cotton gin of the LANCE
Mauermann oil works, on Dawson
and Walnut street. The fire is sup
posed to have originated in ginning
new bale of cotton, of which there
were several in the gin at the time.
The fire department was very prompt
ly on the SCENE and the fire was eX-
tinguished before the building was
destroyed. The loss is placed at
$500, on building, $500 on cotton.
The building and machinery were
valued at $500. Insurance was $4,000,
held by A. Moye, through the Florian
agency.

Leake, Jr., has, resigned, on account OF i'll
health, and his successor will doubtless be

hoped that somebody will be elected who
has tho push, energy and skill to make

long and traverses rich agricultural Sec

vile, within ten miles OF the Tennessee
River. The work OF road building con-
tinues theoretically, and by May 10 the
company hopes to run trains through TO
the river.
The FIRST years business has been very
ilattering. The road has brought into
Memphis since September l. is, 406 bales
OF cotton and carried out $3.50 bales. In
other lines OF freight it has done equally
wee and fully justified the policy Of build
ing the road. The action Of the directors
in selecting president will be awaited
with interest.

In the achievement OF excellence breadth

samuel spencer's Experiencc.

New York, March 5.-The Sun will
make the following announcement to-
morrow; "Mr. Samuel Spencer, lately
President OF the Baltimore 4 Ohio Rail-
way, has today become connected with
the house Of Drexel, Morgan & Co. Within
the last year or two the relation OF the
firm to various important railroad proper
ties has become OF more intimate char
acter, and the amount OF purely expert
railroad experience and practical knowl-
edge OF railroad details required in the
conduct OF its affairs has made it desirable
that 1t should summon to It's assistance
apractical man Of acknowledged skill and
reputation. Mr.. Spencer's standing rs q
railroad expert is Of the highest in the
country, and the general opinion is that
his accession to the house OF Drexel, Nor
gan x Co. will add greatly TO the effect
iyeness with which that house will be en-
abled TO deal with the vast accumulation
OF railroad business which conironts it,"

Mnri, Commenced.

Reliable information comes from Match
ez, Miss, that the long-dclaycd work on
the New Orleans. Natchez x Fort Scott
Railroad has been commenced, and will
be pushed with vigor The initial work
begins at the Quarantine Station, below
the city, which has been conditionally
decided TO the company, and is the point
where the transfer will be made from the
Louisiana side OF the river. II has been
deemed advisable 10 commence the work
there for the reason that the health ordi-
nance OF the city prevents digging OF the
earth beyond a certain date, and II is the
desire Of the company to obviate this OBJ
lection by completing the necessary work
in season and thus avoid delays. In rea.
sonable time a strong force will be placed
on the line at Vidalia and proceed with
vigor Everything looks bright for con-
summation OF the enterprise.
