ANOTHER COTTON FIRE.
A $4,000 BLAZE ON THE STEAM
Snip HARROGATE.

The Fire Discovered by the Cook on
His Return to the Vessel Last Night.
The Flames Under Control at 2
O'Clock This Morning-A Survey of
the Vessel to be Held To-Day.
At twenty minutes past IL o'clock last
night an alarm of fire was turned in from
box 10, corner of Jefferson and Bay streets,
by Patrolman McMurray, to which the
department responded very promptly. The
fire was located on the British steamship
Harrogate. loading cotton for Reveal, Rus
Ha. at the Market dock 1t wac in the
forward compartment. and had apparently
started on the port side of hatch No. 2.
The ship had about 5000 bales altogether,
and she was pretty well down by the stern.
In the forward compartment there were
about l. 400 bales.
DISCOVERED BY THE COOK
The fire was discovered by the cook,
Charles Emory. who had just come aboard
a short time previously. The captain and
pretty much all of the crew had retired,
Waterman McGowan being aft.
Emory says that he smelled smoke for
some time before he discovered where it
was. He says that he hunted around the
ship considerable time before he found the
smoke coming out of hatch No. 1, and he
Immediately rang the ships bell and some
one at the same time fired off several pistol
shots, which attracted Policeman McMur-
rays attention while patrolng the Factors,
and he struck the alarm at once.
FIGHTING THE FIRE.
A line of hose was stretched from the
plug on Bay street to the ship before an
engine arrived. Captain Husband, the
rDfNh a IN ha brid cra
giving orders to the crew, and without
doubt was the coolest man aboard under
such circumstances
The fire when discovered could not have
been burning long, AS it had not made much
progress, but as soon as the matches were
removed, however, the flames spread
rapidly, running from bale to bale like
lightning.
A couple of Fighters loaded with cotton
alongside were dropped further astern out
of harms way.
The ship is divided into compartments, so
that the flames were confined to the fore
part of the ship with but little difficulty,
and by o'clock this morning we're under
complete control.
THE VESSEL HEELED OVER.
It was pretty near low-water and the ship
was lying on the bottom, heeled over to
port from the weight of water thrown in
the hold.
The origin of the fire is, as usual, I'M
known. The stevedores had finished work
shortly after o'clock yesterday evening,
when the matches were put on and covered
with tarpaulins. There was then no sign
of fire in any of the bales
LOSS $40, 900, BUT INSURED.
The cotton in the ship was mostly owned
by Messrs. Rail- Bros. and Strauss IL Co.,
and was fully covered by insurance.
The tug Cambria lay alongside of the |
damage it is believed, to the ship, as the |
fire did not have Roadway enough. The |
damage to the cargo will approximate |
$50, 900 by fire and water. A survey will |
probably be called on the vessel this
morning

DINING AT A CAFE.
An Oconee Party Chaperoned at Table
by an Original Character.

An Oconee Party Chaperoned at Table
by an Original Character.
A party from the Oconee district caused
good deal of merriment among a large
number of folks over their supper at a
restaurant in the market night before last.
They were farmers, and they had just come
into the city in carts, and were tired ana
ravenously hungry.
The party entered the restaurant headed
by an old man, who was their spokesman.
He had apparently seen his three-score
years and ten, but he was vigorous and
brimful of life. He was a typical back
woodsman. His sayings were quaint, and
his moveme is were after his own fashion.
The old gentleman's chin was covered with
short, stumpy beard, and his mouth was a
ood-siZed one. He occupied the seat at
the head of the table, and the younger men
sat around him.
Come, don't be afeard, boys" was his
first injunction.
Say, waiter, we came from the Oconee.
whar ther sugar cane and Eaters is raised
an whar Their cabbedge grows as big as err
bar1. We eat COW peas and homy. Look
heah, now, fetch it in right"
Some of them called for oysters, but the
old man said: Bring me er mudcat or foot
an er half long"
During the time tho waiter was out. the
old man affected much Impotence. and
occasionally slapped the table and said,
"Whoopee fetch err onIn When the orders
were served, he examined the bowls and
allowed: "These is mighty small. I'm or
feard they air all liquor"
Come down on him, fellers. heavy
heavy" he said, as the waiter served every
one at the table before serving the old man.
When the waiter finally Sc we'd the old
man, the chief spokesman seized his knife
and THANK God" he calculated before he
attacked his layout. sThere was silence at
his table. There was a calm after a storm
the old man was eati & fish.
