ENRICH & BROS FIRE.
THEIR LOSSES By THE BLAZE
ESTIMATED AT $4,000

Spontan eous Combustion Starts

Willow Ware and Threatens the De
struction of the Entire Bunding-The
Firemen Drown the Fire-The Chem
ical's" Effective Work-The Tele
graph and Telephone Wires Delay
the Putting Up of the Ladders.
A fire. broke out in the second floor Of A.
Enrich & Bros wholesale grocery, Nos.
I53 and 155 Bay street, last night. Mr.. II.
g. Ehrlich roughly estimates the damage to
stock by fire and water at abou;
90 1000. or one-half of tbs
value Of the firms stock. They carry
insurance of $4,000 to $4,000, distribute
among the agencies in the city. The dam
age to the building, it is believed, will not
exceed 500. and is covered by Insurance
in bearing & Hulrs agency. The building
is new one. only recently built, and is
owned by the De2enne estate.
Policeman McMurray, who turned in the
alarm at 1918 o'clock from box No. 8, says
that half hour before, in going west on
Bay trying the doors Of the business houses.
as is the custom, he stopped and tried the
door Of Enrich q Bros store. He saw no
signs of fire about the building. As he neared
Barnard street on his beat he saw smoke
issuing from the store and turned in an
alarm.
Chief Puder was driving past the Screven
house when the alarm sounded and was the
first at the fire. A second alarm was turned
in to bring out the hook and ladder truck of
the No. As. as additional ladders were needed
on the lane side of the building. There was
considerable delay in getting ladders up on
the Bay side on account of the network Of
telegraph and telephone wires fronting the
building.
The fire, which originated among a stock
OF Irvine, brooms, willow ware and wash
boards in the center of the store on the
second floor, was blazing furiously, and
when checked by water the chemical
engine was operated and did good execu-
ton.
A. Ehrlich, senior member of the firm,
is in New York. The junior member
of the house said be could not
account for the fire, without it was from
spontaneous combustion of some part Of
the stock, and caused by the heat of yester-
day. It was fortunate that the fire was
confined to, the second floor, as several
barrels of whiskey were stored on the
first floor, which would have made a hot
blaze if the fire had communicated with
the liquor.
The firemen were kept at work all night
with the chemical, and an extra crew of
men was in readiness in case OF a fresh out
break.
The fire drew an immense crowd of peo-
pie. The blaze was confined so that only
toe smoke escaped from the building. 1t
poured out in dense volumes from the win
dows and through the roof, and it looked
for awhile as though the entire building
was on fire. There were one OF two casual
ties among the firemen. Chief Puder had
his leg sprained by slipping on a can Of
meat and Fireman Herman had vein on
his left hand cut by piece of falling glass
from window in Bay lane.

THE RUSH FOR PENSIONS.
Justices of the Peace Kept Busy
Filling out Applications.

Justices of the Peace Kept Busy
Filling out Applications.
The recent wholesale pension act enacted
by congress and approved June q, known
as the dependent service disability pension
law. which gives a pension to every ex
union soldier who served ninety DAYS in
the army and who can prove disa-
bilitv. or to any near relative Of such
soldier who can claim 10 have been depend
ent on him for support, is attracting great
deal Of attention lust now IN Savannah.
The pension agents are flooding the country
with circulars with lists Of questions to be
filed out and he will be an unlucky veteran
indeed who fails TO hear of tue movement.
Thousands Of colored soldiers enlisted
during the latter part Of the civil war,
particularly in South Carolina, where
many regiments were raised. They saw
hard service, and are doubtless as deserving
Of a pension as their white comrades in the
north.
Numbers of these South Carolina soldiers
have come TO Savannah since the war. The
fact is, there we're very few Georgia negroes,
comparatively. in the union army.
The colored veterans have been applying
for pensions slowly for some years, but not
near 50 actively as their white comrades
farther north.
Washington pension agent more enter
prisIng than ever, and he is searching out
the colored brother with commendable per-
sistence The colored veteran has taken
to the pension idea with a readiness very
similar to that of the northern ex-soldier,
and his eagerness should command the
admiration of Corp. Ia er. The mails
are loaded now with applications for pen
sions from colored veterans.
A Mop NVtHrl N dror,nah
in on Justice Sheftall yesterday afternoon
found him busy filing out applications.
be had filed out twelve already and before
the day ended he filled out three more.
Several of these were for wives and mothers
of deceased soldiers. Some of the men
were seamen. Justice Sheftall has filed
out about sixty applications in the last
few days. Most of the applicants were
from South Carolina. Twelve of them
were widows of deceased soldiers, two were
sisters and two were mothers,
The act allows applicants to go before
any justice of the peace or notary public
having seal and fill out the proper papers.
The justice gets 81 for his trouble, which
is advanced by the agent, who
gets S25 for each case. The other Justices
also fill out good many applications, but
Justice Sheftall seems to be doing the bulk
OF the work at present. He had the good
LOA OulAo " 10 ouCCoSslti III LIS hisb dppilCd-
tions and that caused stampede in his
direction.
A number of the Washington agents
divide the spoil. Wright & Co. seem TO be
getting the majority. Charles and William
B. King secure a large number. Col. w.
w. Dudley has gotten in one block of five
and Corporal Tanner is remembered occa-
sionally.
1t takes at least four months for appli-
cants to get their papers passed upon and
pensions granted The amounts range
from Sc to $l2 per month. This is as much
as field hands receive in the country dis
trict and is a small fortune to most of the
applicants.

A HANDSOME HOME.
J. 8. Woods New Residence at Whit
aker and Gwinnett Streets.

j. 8. Woods New Residence at Whit
aker and Gwinnett Streets.
For several months past work has been
progressing on what promises to be one of
most beauiful residences in the state. It is
being built for Mr.. J. s Wood on the cor
ner Of Whitaker and Gwinnett streets, from
designs furnished by Architect Eichberg.
The building has been very much admired
even in its present incomplete state, and
each day pretty features are added and new
beauties developed.
The foundation walls are built up Of
rough-face Georgia marble, and a charm
ing recessed portico with an deliberately
carved and polished marble column is built
OF the same material.
The house proper and verandas are built
OF Rome pressed brick and Georgia terra
Gotta, and will be covered with Georgia
slate An exterior chimney on the south
side is an especially fine specimen of de-
sign and work, cut the house in its entirety
Is fattering tribute to the resources Of
our state and the skill of her workmen.
The interior is to be very elegantly finished
in hard woods and to be deliberately de-
cOrated.
When completed the house will be one
that Mr.. Wood and Savannah may well be
proud of. 1t is being built by J. r. Eason,
mason, and II. Bartlett, CARPENTER

Trouble with the Wiras.

The fire alarm system of the city is not
working we'll. A MORNING News reporter
was at the headquarters yesterday after
noon about 4:30 o'clock when the gong
struck. The horses rushed to their places
and the men jumped to their engines. The
gongs struck three and then stopped,
and did not strike again for
several minutes. The firemen waited i'm
patiently for the alarm to strike again.
Presently it sounded once, then struck again,
and continued to strike disconnectsdly for
several minutes. The telephone was used,
but no fire could be heard of, and the fire.
men concluded that it was false alarm,
caused by the crossing of a telephone or
electric wire The wires probably need an
overhauling.

THE ST. NICHOLAS SUCCESSOR.
The Maggie Belle Chartered for the

The Maggie Belle Chartered for the
Fernsndine Route.
The steamer Maggie Belle, belonging to
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
Railroad Company and now at Abbeville,
has been chartered by the Georgia and
Florida Inland Steamboat Company to run
on the route between Savannah, Darien,
brunswick aud Fernandina for the next
two months. There was not water enough
to bring her here last week, but Capt.
Usina will leave in a day or two to bring
her down, so that she will be able to depart
the last OF the week on her regular schedule.
Ii is not at all likely that the st. Nicho-
las will be rebuilt, but that she will be COP
verted into barge. The company, it is
thought, will replace her by the purchase of
boat north this fall, one of larger freight
capacity,

sea voyage to the dusty trip by rail inland.
