The New Engine Does Effective Serv-
ice on a Bay Street Fire.
Fire Quilted the cotton sample room Of
Clavius Phillips, cotton broker, at "a Bay
street shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday
morning, damaging the interior of the build
ing to the amount of about $3.50, and the
fixtures $50. fully covered by insurance
The building is owned by the DeRenne
estate.
The fire originated in the sample cotton,
but what caused it must remain q mystery
The alarm was turned in from box No. z,
and although the flames had burst ont of
the door, and the heat was so intense as to
crumble the granite coping, the fire was
very quickly extingu,shed with the chemi-
cal engine, no water being used.
Capt. j. F. Wheaton of Wheaton & Son,
whose office is separated only by a thin
partition from the room where the fire was
said the chemical engine had done a good
work. None of their books and papers
were injured, as would have been the result
if water had been used TO put out the fire
1t was an excellent test of the chemical
engine, and it soon subdued wicked look
ing fire in business block, where a fire
cannot be controlled any too soon.

In AND ABOUT THE CITY.
TO ASK FOR MORE HONEY

An Additional Appropriation to be
Urged for the Quarantine Tug.
Health Officer Drummer, accompanied by
Capt. Jacob Paulsen, returned yesterday
from trip north. They visited New York
and Philadelphia to purchase tug for the
quarantine service. They were unable,
however, TO settle upon one. They saw
many boats, but none that suited were
within their reach. Twelve thousand dol
lars il reserved for the purchase Of the boat,
lacking few hundred dollars.
They found beautiful yacht at Morris
dock, New York, which answered every
purpose, but there was difference as TO the
price. The boat is ninety feet long and is
very fast. She has plenty Of room for an
engine and the disinfecting apparatus. The
expense Of putting in these two requisites,
however, will raise the price of the boat
beyond what the city has authorized the
health and cemetery committee to pay.
Another well-adapted boat was seen at a
wharf in Philadelphia. The price was
reasonable, but it was just little above the
sum set apart for the purchase of the boat,
and the Philadelphia boat had to be let
alone.
DIR. Drummer will ask for an increase of
the appropriation Of the boat fund. He
thinks he ought to have it In fact, if the
city wishes to equip its quarantine the
increase ia necessary. The present arrange
nent has been seen to lie inadequate, and
when the city appropriated the amount
with which to buy boat it had no accurate
idea OF the cost Since the city has mani
tested desire that the quarantine be
thoroughly equipped, it may be willing to
make the appropriation large enough for
the purpose.
The quarantine cleared $1,000 last year
more than ever before. In fact, it is the
hrst time that it has netted anything. The
expenses of conducting it have been so bur-
densome as to involve the city in considera-
Die expense each year.
DR.. Brunner said that If he is unsuccess-
fui In getting an increased appropriation he
Will have the boat built. He consulted
several builders i'll Philadelphia, and be be-
heves that he can have the boat built so as
TO satisfy the demands upon it.
The engine and disinfecting apparatus
Will be put on in construction. To put the
disinfecting apparatus and the engine in a
boat after it is built necessitates an outlay
OF nearly LOCO. In building a new toat
especially for the quarantine this: expense
will be obviated
The new boat will he needed this summer,
and a good deal of pushing will have to be
done In order to get it ready.

TIE NEW CITY CLOCK.
It VIII be Ticking in the Exchang'
Next Month.

IL VIII be Ticking in the Exchange
Next Month.
Alderman W. @. Cam, chairman of the
committee on city lots, said 10 a MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday that the commit
tee has contracted with Theus Bros. for a
new clock for the city exchange tower. The
clock Is to be a Seth Thomas pendulum
clock, and is TO cost $500, put in place. 1t
is expected that it win he running within
thirty days Theus Bros. are to keep it
wound and in running order for one year.
1t is guaranteed not to vary TO exceed
thirty seconds per month and to be free
from organic defects for five years. The
old bell is to be utilized to strike out the
hours.
Alderman Cam says that while an illumi-
mated dial would be desirable the expense is
thought to be too great. He was asked il
the plan Of hooded electric jets, which is to
be adopted by the county commissioners in
Illuminating the dials of the clock in the
new court house, would not serve the pur-
pose, and Mr. Cam replied that he thought
If the expense will not be too great and the
plan works well with the court house clock
the city may then adopt it.
I'VE will meet and see how il works
them" he added, land then it can be con-
sidered at any time, as the hooded jets can
DO put In place just as well after the clock
is running
There is general desire on the Bay that
the dials should be Illuminated, so that the
hours may be noted after nightfalI BUSH
ness men, mariners and street car conduct
ors would find it convenient to have the
dials Illuminated, and a petition of that
character would be largely signed on the
Bay if circulated.
The old clock doing duty in the city ex-
change tower has long been erratic in its
movements Its aged and sluggish hands
do not always get around to the proper
place on the dials when the bell strikes the
hours, nor do the hands on the different
dials always agree. They have, however,
long done their duty. and the tireless works
amid the dust and cobwebs of the
tower have for many years kept
up their ceaseless click and whirr, while the
heavy pendulum has swayed to and fro in
its lonesome and circumscribed compart-
ment, its tick sounding ghostlike to those
who brave the discomforts and climb the
narrow stairway through the accumulated
dust which has collected in attic and pass
ageway, and stand looking through the
wooden bars that keep the curious out of
the clock room.
The old clock has licked away in times Of
war and peace, storm and sunshine, cpl
denies and healthfulness, and the massive
bell has rung out many events in the his
tory of the city. 1t is to have no surcease,
but the hours, the fires and many historic
events in the future will be changed upon
it with the heavy iron hammer which has
stricken it so often that the imprint of the
blows show plainly on its brazen surface for
1t is a clapperless bell.

TALK OF PAVING WEST BROAD.

A Movement to Put Down Graywacke
From Stone to henry Street.
There is considerable talk of paving West
Broad street with graywacke from Stone
street to Henry street. It is said that the
city can get the granite on much more
favorable terms than heretofore, and it is
estimated that forty feet of West Broad
street can be paved with granite at much
less expense proportionately than it took to
pave Jefferson street. Nine feet of this
pavement would be put down by the street
railway company, and as the property
holders along the line of the street would
be required to pay their proportion of the
paving expense, it would materially reduce
the outlay by the city.
The plan is to permit the use of grass
plats in front of the improved property,
and West Broad street would then be one
OF the most attractive avenues of the city.
There is a very heavy traffic done on the
street, and in addition to the advantages to
the general travel, the paved street would
greatly facilitate the movements of the fire
department. and would be used for the
vehicles in funeral corteges going to and
from Laurel Grove cemetery, all of which
find the sand almost impossible.

a Florida Merchant Taken In by a
Thief and Plundered.
]. Murray, harness maker, was com
mitted to Jail yesterday by Justice Naugh-
tin, in default of $500 bond, on a charge Of
larceny from the house of over $50. The
case was worked up by Detective Wether-

Jams, a merchant of Wilburn, Fla, who was
in the city on business, reached the depot
too late to catch the South Bound train, and

the city until midnight, when Murray said
to his companion that he would pilot him to
a lodging house, and the two brought up at
Mrs. Monroe's boarding house on Congress
street, where Williams said it was all right,
as the keeper was a relative Of his.
Murray. who is a man Of family, instead
Of going home took q room with Williams,
and they retired. At about 2 O'Clock Will
Jams awoke TO find his companion gone,
and, striking light, made an examination
OF his pockets to find that his watch and
chain, $l5 in money and pocketbook con-
tanning $500 in notes were missing. The
next day he placed the matter in the hands
of Detective Wetherhorn, who arrested
Murray yesterday, and found the watch
and chain on his person. He accounted for
them by saying Williams had given them
to him. which Williams denies.
Murray, it is said, had no money on the
night he and Williams were together, but
on the following morning be was provided
with several dollars, and paid an old bill at
a saloon. Williams returned home last
night, but tefore going he informed Justice
Naughtin that he would return to prosecute
Murray. He says he had a larger sum of
money in another pocket which was for
tunately overlooked by tho thief.

HALF OF HIS HEAD CUT OFF.

A Colored Boy Killed While Stealing
Ride on a Tram.
Goshen Styles, 13year-old colored boy,
fell between the cars of a Savannah, Flor
ida and Western wood train yesterday
morning at Southville, and was instantly
killed. The boy was stealing ride on the
train, having gotten on at some station far
Their out, and attempted to pass from one
car to another, but fell between them, the
wheels passing over his head and cutting
off the upper half of it. Coroner Dixon
was sent for and held an inquest, and YER
dict was given in accordance with the fore
going facts.
The negro boys are in the habit of board
ing the Savannah, Florida and Western
wood train at the small stations, riding a
short distance and throwing off sticks of
wood, leaving the train at the next station
to pick up the wood. This is probably
what cost Goshen Styles his life.
