Another Savannah Fire.

The Savannah (Ga.) Cotton Mill was
burned on the 9tn. The fire started in
the mule" room, from heated spin
die, and in an hour nothing but the
walls OF the building were left. The
employees barely had time to escape
through the windows. The factory con-
sisted of two buildings, separated by a
narrow lane, through which the EN-
ployes got into the streets. The fire.
men played on the building from all
sides, but the flames spread with such
rapidity that they were unable to get
control or even to check them. The
mill was built in 1870, at cost, with
machinery, of $4,000. 1t had a capaci-
ty of 10000 spindles, and was the only
mill of the kind in Savannah. II was
owned by John Flannery and was oper-
ated under lease by l.. NJ Warfield.
The total loss on the building, machin-
cry and stock is 100000. Reinsurance
is $40, GOO. During the progress of the
fire in the mills, row of tenement
houses on the opposite side of the street
caught fire, and eight houses were
burned

A Girl With a Gun.

The fatal shooting of Fred Bacon bv
Miss Flora Look at a charivari at Ches-
ter Center, Ia, has caused great excite
ment in that vicinity. The evidence
shows that the couple who were being
serenaded were old folks, the groom be-
ing so and the bride 80 The murder
ess, aged about 20, is the granddaughter
of the bridegroom, and she sought
to protect the newly married couple
from the disorderly attention of the
neighbors. She first offered the gun to
her grandfather, but he declined to use
it. She then stepped outside and fired
into the crowd, which quickly dis
persed. She did not know till the next
morning that any one was hurt. The
murdered man was married and leaves
a wife and two children. Miss Look
was bound over to the grand jury.

Sumo time since Mr.. ?. &. To-
quet. OF the 5th ward moved the
mill from the Leon Droussard plan
tation below town to his farm on
the Rayne road about 5 miles from
the Indian Bayou CHI urch, where he
is building a sugar house and will
put it up in time to grind this fall
his own cane and that of his neigh
bors. Mr.. Loquet is an example Of
what can be done in tlHs parish by a
man who il determined to succeed.
A few years ago he entered q piece
OF wild, low prairie land which was
considered almost worthless. Hav-
ing but little means he built a sod
house, matching the roof with prai.
re straw, and built q fence Of Tire
same material, cutting a deep trench
and piling up the earth 20 as to fiorn,
Oh effective barrier. Here he be-
gan farming with oxen and by care
ful and intelligent labor he has auc.
ceeded, in making money and now
has a comfortable home with large
roony barn and outbuildings, his
land all under fence, a fine orchard
and vineyard of over COCO vines.
This year encouraged by the yield
obtained by ais neighbors from sugar
cane he entered rpon its cultivation
and decided to put up a sugar house
and mill in order to take off his own
crop and that Of his neighbors, who
have found profitable sale for all the
sugar aud syrup they can produce.
