TWO FIRES YESTERDAY.
One on Shipboard and One a Burn
ing Chimney.

One on Shipboard and One a Burn
ing Chimney.
An alarm of fire from box z, at Bay aud
Drayton streets, yesterday afternoon was
occasioned by slight blaze in the lamp
and oil room on board the British steamship
Trieste, loading cotton at the foot of Bull
street.
The flames were extinguished without
requiring the services of the fire depart
ment, and the damage was Insignificant.
George Olives receiN ed painful burns on
his legs IN trying to stamp the fire out. He
was filing the ships lamps, and had spilled
some oil on the floor, and accidentally
dropping a lighted match into the oil it
blazed up.
The No. 8 engine at headquarters got
alarms by telephone, and the No. rs, W it'll
out any telephone alarm, waited until the
last number had been tapped, and hurried
to the fire, arriving earlier than the No 3's.
This rivalry has grown out of the efforts of
the different companies to excel each other
IN promptness in getting to fires, but yes
terday 1t was more particularly the result
OF boast of one of the boys who runs with
No. 3's that he had written his name on
the Central railroad passenger depot, and
the first time box % should strike his COM
pany would get there so long
before the No. 2s that he would
rub his name out aud be back 10 his reel
and it is said that he did so on a recent run.
Yesterday the No. rs, remembering the
boast, gave the No 3s Roland for their
Oliver by waiting until the last tap, and
then getting to the fire before the other en-
CINE, which responded to a telephone alarm.
An alarm from box No. 46 at Hunting don
and Price streets at s o'clock last plight,
caused by burning chimney, called out
the tiremen, but there was no damage,

Mr.. RouRourN ON DECK.
The Justices of the Peace Requested"
TO Get to Work

The following notice was served on each
of the eight justices of the peace in the city
districts yesterday afternoon by Chairman
Bourquin of the board Of county road COM
missioners:
SAVANNAH, Feb. %, 1890.
DEAR SRI beg TO call your attention to
the condition Of two of the main streets Of the
city that have been neglected for three months
or longer; namely. GWinnett street from West
Broad street 10 its western liO,its. and Railroad
street. or Louisville road, from West Broad
street TO its western limits. / also call to your
notice the action Of the grand jury as TO the bad
condition Of the Louisville road within the cor
porate limits. especially request that you
meet with the other magistrates of the city on
tomorrow, March /, organize as road commits
sioners according to section 652. Code of Geor-
ga, lay of the city into districts, apportion the
hands for same, and repair and put in good
condition the above named streets. Yours very
truly, GUsIE BoURoUIS.
1t will be observed that there is nothing
mandatory in the above notice, nor is it
signed in any official capacity. If any
steps are to be taken for q restraining order
from the court, Mr.. Bourquin will not be
one OF the principals in the suit. He has
merely requested the magistrates to con-
vene. organize as road commissioners, lay
off the city into districts, and apportion
the hands to work the streets in question
On its face it would look as if the justices
can elect to accede TO TIE request" or not,
as they choose, but Mr.. Bourquin has his
eye on the grand jury Of the superior court,
and any dereliction of duty in the matter of
working the roads will be placed before the
grand jury of the superior court by him.
The right to call out the citizens of
Savannah to work the streets does not ap-
pear to be conceded by the lawyers, and it
IS not unlikely that the justices of the peace
will not comply with the request.
1t Is predicted by City Attorney Adams
that not one execution will be enforced nor
one prisoner will be lodged in the Jail for
failing to attend and work the road, and
the notice to the magistrates is artfully
worded, so that no recourse upon Mr.. Bour-
quin can be legally held,

MUST HITCH THEIR HORSES.
Alderman Bailey's Ordinance to Como
Before Council Next Week.

Alderman Bailey's Ordinance to Come
Before Council Next Week.
Alderman Bailey's ordinance, introduced
at the last meeting of the city council, re-
quiring drivers to hitch their horses when
they are left unattended in the streets, has
suggested the question, "to what shall they
be hitchedp
A Driver" writing to the MORNING
NEWS, says; Under this new ordinance
and section 1870 of MacDonell's code; we
are between the devil and the deep blue
sea-" "Driver" asks, will Alderman Bailey
now introduce another ordinance requiring
all property owners to provide hitching
posts in front of their premises! Or will
the street and lane committee be instructed
10 plant hltching posts along all the streets2
The object Of Alderman Bailey's ordi-
nance Is to prevent the frequent runaway
accidents which occur from horses having
been left in the streets without being
hitched. There are few hitching posts on
the business streets, and the present ordi-
nances forbid the hitching of horses to
trees, fences, ratings, buildings, gates, or
to the Enclosures of the squares, or lamp
posts, under a penalty. In the absence of
hltching posts people are Won
derlng what they will do If
Alderman Bailey's ordinance should pass.
The alderman, it is understood, will amend
the ordinance before it goes to its second
reading so as to provide for the hitching OF
horses by a weight and strap, the weight to
be not less than five pounds. The weight
and strap will take the place of hitching
posts where there are none.
An ordinance requiring the better securing
OF horses left on the street will, if it is
enforced as it can be without difficulty,
lessen the number of runaway accidents
which result from horses having been left
unsecured in the street sometimes for hours,
and which either run away from being left
unfastened or are frightened and run away,
frequently causing good deal of damage
and endangering the lives Of many people.

PUSHING INTO ALABAMA.
THE CENTRAL LOOKING FOR A
CONNECTION WITH THE L. 81 N.

Gen. Alexander Gone to New York, 1t
is Believed, to Talk over the Building
of the Ozark Extension to the ELLEN
N" Near Flomaton - The Central
Figuring on a Short Line from the
North to Pensacola, Mobile and New
Orleans, via Augusta
Gen. E. P. Alexander left yesterday
morning for New York. While north he
will attend the meeting Of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association. 1t is
believed, however. that his visit is not alto
gether on that errand, but that the extern
sion of he.Ozark road to a junction with
the Louisville and Nashville at point north
of Flomaton may have something to do
with it.
1t is believed that the opening of the Ala
bama Midland from Bainbridge, passing
through a portion of the territory tributary
to the Central, and competing with it
for the freight .and travel of that section,
and favoring another line from Montgom-
cry to Savannah, will be strong competi-
tor Of the Central
TO JOIN THE L. & n.
To offset this it is said that the Central
a junction with the Louisville and
Nashville. and that once reached
short gap or two may
be built so that the Central will be able to
handle the New York passenger travel OF
New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola via
Augusta, besides giving Southeastern Ala
bama railroad facilities for getting their corn
and other farm products to the Savannah
market. 1t is understood that the Central
does not propose to surrender the trade Of
Southeastern Alabama to the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway without
struggle.
EUFAULA PEOPLE ANXIOUS.
Eufaula people are talking of extending
a road south TO Dothen, and possibly to the
Gulf At present Dothen seems to be the
objective point, and which system, the
Central or the Plant, will aid the enterprise
has not yet developed. At any rate the
Central is looking forward to junction
in Southern Alabama with the Lou
isville and Nashville, and well-informed
railroad man said yesterday that the Cen
trial will have the road in operation within
two years, and by building one or two gaps
will put New York from 90 10 100 miles
nearer New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola
than by any other line. and in addition the
extension will be feeder to the commerce
of Savannah through the connections with
the Savannah and Western.

BETHEA's GOOD REPUTATION.
a Strong Protest from the Friends OF
the Young Route Agent.

Strong Protest from the Friends of
the Young Route Agent.
The Marion, s. c., correspondent of the
Charleston NeaOs and Courier says: "The
many friends Of A. G. Bethea, the unfortu-
nate young postal clerk from this county.
who was arrested in Savannah for robbing
the mails, are deeply pain ed to know of his
misfortune. He belongs to one of the first
families of this county. and has always
been regarded as an exemplary young man,
and held in the highest esteem. There is
nothing in his past life that would warrant
the belief, or even the suspicion, that he
would be capable of committing the crime
charged against him unless it be supported
by the ciearest evidence. His numerous
friends, here, among whom he has lived
from his boyhood up to his entrance into
the postal service, and who know and ap-
preclate his good qualities, can never be
charge of stealing, except upon absolute
proof of his criminality.n

RETURNED A smALED VERDICT
The Result of the Smith Case to be
Known To-day.

The argument in the Smith damage suit
against the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway company in the city court went
to the jury yesterday, afternoon
and at late hour last
night the jury rendered a sealed verdict,
which will be opened at the converting of
the court at 10 o'clock this morning.
The morning session of the court was
consumed by Hon. P. w. Meldrim in argu-
ing the e, and by Col. William Garrard,
who cited the law points and read at length
from the decisions of the courts in this state
and other states to sustain the points urged
that under the common law the plaintiff is
entitled to recover.
Mr.. Melirim, although in i'll health, made
an able and lengthy argument. The charge
Of the court was decidedly in the line of
Mr.. duBignon's argument on two essential
points, In fact what may be termed the
vital points in the case: First, that the
laws of Florida must govern, and second
that if Mr.. Smith had his arm out of the
window at the time of the accident he can
not recover.

A Letter Carriers LOSS.

Letter Carrier Green lost a registered
package of GLACIERS diamonds addressed to
Lloyd & Adams on Friday afternoon of
last week, aud although he has advertised
for the lost package he has heard nothing
Of it. He says that as the missing articles
are of no value except to GLACIERS he does
not understand why the package should not
have been recovered ere this. He thinks
he lost them on either Bay or Bryan streets.

AT THE ARTESIAN WELL,
What Score or More Of Visitors Wit
messed There Yesterday.

A score of visitors went out to the arte-
sian we'll camp yesterday. The drill was
in motion all day and between thirty and
forty feet was bored. The well is now
about $50 feet in depth. The work of
Saturday afternoon, yesterday and to-day
is practically dead work, for the reason
that when operations ceased for lack OF
smaller casing the quicksand came up at
least 100 feet in the bottom of the hole
unlike Mc(1lnty-and this has now to be
drilled through to reach the 6OO foot point
originally attained. This will be accom-
plished to-day and after tomorrow the
test will become more interesting than
ever. The contractors seem to he con
tident. They certainly understand their
duties perfectly. The visitors watched
them at work for four hours yesterday
and everything moved forward with sys-
tenn and rapldity that was thought to
be impossible. The new four inch casing
now fills the well from top to bottom and
as the drill, working inside the casing,
cuts out the sand, the casing slides down
and shuts out the sand. The Messrs.
