BLAZE AT THE COTTON MILLS.
Fire Starts in tho Pickery and DAM
ages Two Machines.

Fire broke out in the pickery room of the
Savannah Cotton Mills, a few minutes after
l o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t started
in what is called the "beater," big cylin-
der in which the cotton is beaten by rapidly
revolving arms, aud was quickly carried
throu b a long carrying apron or 'foatn
into a pile of loose cotton at the other end
of the picker.
The machine was at work and the rapidly
moving cotton spread the fire in almost
au instant, so that the entire woodwork Of
the machine was in flames. BY the side Of
the ''picker" in which the fire started was
another ''pickern in operation, and the
flames caught the cotton in that, and in
half minute both machines were on fire
The greater part of the machinery is iron,
and the flames had little except the cotton
and the wood aprons wnich carry the cot
ton. to feed upon. These were quickly
burned out, and the flames crept up to the
ceiling Of the room. That, however, had
just been covered with tin, and there the
fire was stopped.
A telephone alarm was sent to fireman's
headquarters, and Chief Puder was soon at
the mills and had stream of water on the
flames The fire had burned but short
time, and was easily got under control and
extinguished before it had gained much
Roadway. Aside from the loss Of the cotton,
almost the entire damage is to the ma
chinery. One Of the machines will be re-
paired and ready for operation in day
or two, but the other will probably
require a month to put in working order.
Both machines were insured and the loss is
fully covered.
What struck the spark in the ''beater"
and started tho fire is not known A match,
or piece of one may have been in he cot
ton or it may have been small flint or
stone that struck fire on the arms Of
81 o 'beatern A fire occurred in the
same room some months ago and started in
one of the same machines, and probably

a Narrow Escape From Drowning in
Thunderbolt River
A gentleman named Inman and his wife,
from the north, who have been stopping at
Mrs. Bannon's, at Thunderbolt for the last
week, had thrilling experience day or
two ago. They engaged the yacht belong
ing to Mr.. Thomas Enright to go down the
river. They had made two or three sue
cessful trips down and back, but on their
last trip, owing TO some mishap, when they
were three or four miles down the river the
yacht capsized and the occupants were
thrown out int the river.
1t was early in the afternoon when no
boats are passing either up or down, and for
two hours the husband and wife were struC-
Cling in the water and trying to hold on to
the yacht, which was overturned. Mr.. In
man held on with one hand and with the
other he held his wife, who came very near
drowning more than once. She

by exhaustion. Mr.. Inman held her up
there foe fully three-quarters Of an hour.
They were rescued by Dit. Calder, an oyster

were conveyed to their boarding place at
Thunderbolt

chain and $500 in currency while he was in
the water. and his wife lost pair Of brace

ANx1ous TO COME THIS WAY.
The Savannah, Americus and Mont
gomery Railroad Extsnsion.


Col s. w. Hawkins, president of the Sa-
vannsh, Americas and Montgomery rail
road was in the city yesterday on business
connected with his company. He was
interviewed by several gentlemen as to the
prospect of extending the road to Savannah.
He stated that the contract for building the
road from Abbeville to McRae on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
had been les TO responsible parties and the
work on it will begin next week.
The contract for an iron bridge across
the Ocmulgee river has also heen given out.
With this connection built, Col Hawkins
road will be connected with Savannah and
Brunswick by rail. He was very DESTROYS,
he said, 70 see the road extended to Savan-
nah, and if proper encouragement is given
by the people here it will be done, but so far
be has received but little evidence that the
people of this city care to have it done.
The distance from McRae to Savannah,
Col. Hawkins said, is about 100 miles, and
from his figuring the road can be built and
terminal facilities secured for about 81 ,00O,-
600.
Col. Hawkins said that it is certain that
the road will be completed to Montgomery,
Ala, within a year, and even with only a
connection at McRae 1t will come in for a
share of the business from the west, besides
its already large and constantly increasing
local traffic With no line Of its own to
Savannah, the shortest route to sea for
the business of the road would be to
Bruins wick, and there it would doubt
less go whether he wanted it to go there or
not He recognized Savannah's advantages
as terminal point, but if they are not
available that is the end of it.
Col. Hawkins did not come down here.
he said, to talk about the extension, but
just at this time that question occupies a
great deal of public attention, and he had
to talk
In the afternoon Col Hawkins visited the
fertilizer factories above the city.
