FIRE IN A FEED STABLE.
A Blaze that Came Very Near Ceusinl

A Blaze that Came Very Near Causing
a Big Conf grafton.
About noon yesterday flames were dis
covered issuing from feed house in the old
unused stock yard of John E. Bowling, at
the foot of Perry street, Immediately in the
rear of McDonough q Co.'s lumber mill
An alarm was turned in from Box No. 90
at the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way freight office, to which the department
responded
The fire had gained considerable Roadway
when the firemen arrived. and they devoted
their attention to saving the building ad-
joining, one-story dwelling house, which
had just begun burning. The feed house
and its c ntents, which were fine hay
cutter, wheel arrow, several large wooden
rollers and dray saddle, was totally de-
stroyed.
Mr.. Bowling knew nothing of the fire
until MORNING NEWS reporter saw him
in the afternoon. He had the buildings in
sured until few weeks ago, when he
transferred his policy to his stables on
West Broad street. He estimates his loss
at $l25, and thinks the fire must have been
OF incendiary origin, as the place has been
unoccupied for over a month.
But for the prompt arrival and effective
work of the fire department a serious con-
Migration would have probably resulted, as
the wind was blowing in the direction of
the saw-mill, which was only separated from
the fire by a wooden fence

The contention between the hourishing
town Of Guyton and the embryo city OF

new railroad The tract comprises ABOUT
500 acres living on either side Of the
railroad right way. part Of which has
been plated or into very picturesque

some map recently prepared by the proJec-
tors
Ii is stated that the Pineora syndicate
gave a very handsome sum to. induce the
Macon and Atlantic railroad people TO
pass through there. The bonus is
said to have been a large sum of money,
a quarter OF an interest In the prop
erty aud other valuable considerations.
Guyton, OF course. being a settled commu-

hess, which is said To foot up in freight and
passenger traffic $40, 900 year. The Macon
and Atlantic railroad people are not after

THE CITY'S MUDDY WATER.
supt. Manning Says Freshet
Causing It.

Causing It.
The recent muddy appearance of the
city's drinking water has been the cause of
considerable complaint, and it has been
thought that more river water was being
used than heretofore.
A MORNING NEWS reporter asked Supt
Manning of the water works, yester-
day, what is the matter with the water and
why river water is being used. He replied
that the unusual disc oloration of the water
is caused by the recent freshet in the Savan-
nah river, which has made the water very
muddy Though only small proportion
of river water is used, its muddy condition
is such as to discolor the whole amount of
water used.
Supt. Manning said that little, if any
more river water is used now than was
used during the Last few months, and much
less is used than at the beginning of the
summer. When the new wells are CON-
pleted he expects to shut Off the river water
| altogether.
The superintendent said that the con-
sumption of water has been greater recently
| than during the last few months. When
the agitation upon the subject Of the waste
of water and the Inauguration of system
of inspection was begun, some months back,
the consumption of water decreased consid
erably; but of late the reverse has been the
case, and more water is being consumed
now than ever.

Hal Brueckman Loses His Eyesight
From Villanous Assault.
Alfred johnson. a young mulatto boy,
destroyed the sight of Hal Brueokman, a
13-year-old white boy living on Barnard
street, by throwing vitriol, or some other
caustic liquid, into his face Saturday night
The effect of the burning liquid was so
terrible that the sight of both eyes has been
lost. The boys sufferings from the wounds
were terrible
DR.. w. F. Aiken was called in and did
what he could to relieve the boys sufferings,
but without avail.
The boy johnson seemed to be on a ram
page for deviltry, and attempted to throw
the dangerous stuff upon several little
negroes after he had so terribly injured
Brueckman, but the children escaped
johnson was arrested and committed to
Jail by Justice Elsinger to await the result
of Brueckman's injuries. In case the boy
should die johnson will be prosecuted for
murder, but at any rate he will answer to
the charge of mayhem.
