TIE UPPER PRESS STARTED.
No Lack OF Compress Facilities-More
of Wednesday Mornings Fire.

of Wednesday Mornings Fire.
The Savannah Cotton Press Association
started the Upper hydraulic press, at the
foot Of jefferson street, at noon yesterday
to test it, as il is now some six OF seven
years since it has been operated. It was
found that the heaters needed cleaning out
and some minor repairs, which were
promptly begun, and the compress viii be
put in operation this morning and run night
aud day. It's capacity is 40 bales an hour,
and as it will be run double time, its output
every twsnty-four hours will be :, 800 bales,
fully up TO the day work Of the two COM
presses destroyed
The insurance adiusters are expected to-
day TO take survey Of the ruins of the
turned compressed buildings, and the local
insurance agents have been making up more
accurate reports Of the losses Of their COM
panies than were telsgraphsd just after the
fire, as the companies wanted to know the
approximate loss at once.
Two steam fl g engines pumped from the
river all "wednesday night and yesterday
on the smoky ruins, and at I O'Clock last
night the No. engine was relieved, but
the mogul was kept on duty with the en-
gineer, a regular fireman and three extra
men, employed to manage the hose Two
Siamese attachments furnished four streams
of water, and they were kept playing on the
ruins last night.
Yesterday fire broke out several times in
the pile Of Jute bagging, and in piles of par
TALLY burned bales Of cotton in the ruins,
and on the wharf in front Of them, but
water was Immediately turned on, and the
flames were extiuguished. 1t hardly seems
possible that cotton so wet as that at the
fire could have blazsd up, but it did several
times.
In the report Of the fire the prompt and
efficient services Of Capt. Storey and the
crew of the British steamship Carlton
were overlooked. The steamship Cyprus
was the first to get a line of hose out,
and started her pumps. Then followed
the Carlton with her hose, which
played upon the wharf and mooring-
posts, as well as on the 233 bales Of cotton
which were on the wharf waiting to be
taken aboard the vessel. The Cartons
Waterman was the first to cry fire, and the
vessels crew, which slept aboard, promptly
responded to the summons. Capt Storey
said that at one time it was almost lmpossi-
bic to stand on the decks of his vessel, which
are Of iron. they were so hot. The sides
of the Carlton, as well as her masts and
spars, are scorched and blistered, as she was
the nearest to the hottest part of the fire.
The crew of the British steamship Napier
was ashore, and Capt. Storey sent his
boatswain aboard of the Napier to assist her
watchman to haul in her hues and get her
out in the stream, If it should be found nee
essary, before the Napier's crew arrived.

Pooler People Don't Want the Guy
tonians to Gobble it Up.
The efforts being made to have the Pooler
''goober" train leave Savannah at o'clock
p. IN. daily. to take belated business men to
Guyton, an account of which appeared in
Sundays MORNING NEWS, has stirred up a
small sized hornets nest among the Pooler-
lteS Those who ere prominent in secur-
ing the train to bring the mechanics in at
an early hour, so as to arrive in Savannah
at the regular time to 60 to work are up in
arms against the extension of the train serv-
ice to Guytou.
They say that to run the train to Guyton
will necessltate the laying over of the
trains crew all night at Guy ton; that the
crew are, in the main, men of families,
and TO be kept away from their families
every night will work a great hardship
They also say that it means the annoying
delays which they experienced before they
secured this accommodation in the way of
reaching their work at the proper time.
They argue that the early morning freights
will undoubtedly block up the way to such
an extent that they will always be DELAYED.
They claim, too, that before the railroad
officials would consent to put on the
"goober" train for their accommodation
the road required guarantee of fortv-five
tickets, which number they secured, and
also purchased quarterly and monthly
tickets. and since the train has been run
ming this number has been Increased to
sixty prompt and reliable paying passen-
gers. The Guyton business men whose
business will not allow them to use the
Millen accommodation, can go up in the
through Atlanta train, which leaves Sayan-
nah atS;l0 They are decidedly opposed
to having any change in the service of the
train which is run especially for their ac-
commodation, 50 as to enable them to go to
work at the regular hour in the morning.

A RUSH OF oYsTERMEN.
Northern Growers Preparing to Come
to Georgia.

Northern Growers Preparing to Come
to Georgia.
The oyster law recently enacted by the
legislature is like ly to have greater effect
upon the oyster business than was antici-
pated by those VINO for years have agitated
the question of protecting the bivalve from
destruction, and at the same time pro-
noting its production by placing it under
the protection of the law.
Heretofore there has been little or no pro-
lection given to those who made the culti-
walton of oysters a business. Beds that
cost hundreds of dollars to plant have been
deprecated, until the area cultivated has
become limited to such an extent that it
could be watched from the oysterman's
house.
The law just passed, and which goes into
effect Jan. !, will be the means of iucreas
ing the oyster product many hundred fold.
While it leaves all the natural beds free to
the public, it gives ample protection to
those who plant oysters. Already OYSTER
mel in the north are preparing to avail
themselves of the advantages offered along
the coast of Georgia to cultivate oysters,
and are preparing to pre-eInpt oyster plant
ing privileges. Mr. f. s. Bearisley of the
Il. j. Lewis Company of Stratford, Conn.
is in the city in the interest of his COM
paay. This company makes a business of
planting, buying and selling oystsis, and
employs three steamers and a fleet of
smaller vessels. Last year the company
shipped 10000 barrels of oysters to Europe
and TO western states. AS soon as the gov
eminent survey Of the oyster growing area
OF Georgia is completed, there win be a
rush Of oystermen to this coast to pre-empt
localities for oyster propagation.

thousands of people, and will largely in
crease the trade of the cities and towns on
