AN IRRIGATED FARM.

The Good Condition of Crops on Mai.
RYals' Place the Result of Irrigation.
MORNING NEWS reporter took a stroll
over Maj G. NJ. Ryals' farm yesterday to
find his growing crops looking well. In fact,
there is little sign Of retarded growth from
the long drought. Maj Ryals has so sue
cessfully and painstakingly irrigated his
crops that the plants have had sufficient
moisture and are looking well.
This is particularly true of his cabbage.
which looks most promising, and as the
long dry season has seriously affected cab
bags in Florida and in this section, Mai
Ryais will no doubt realize fancy prices
for his crop. His peas are looking finely,
the first planting having already put out
vines, and the second planting has good
stand
The strawberry vines are In full bloom,
aud the plants are looking well. If no
heavy frost comes MAJ. Ryals will have q
fine berry crop. The blooms are not SO pro-
fuse, and the fruit will consequently be of
excellent quality.
One Of the marked features of the farm
is the fine condition of the soil. Deep plow-
ing and intelligent fertilization is noted all
over the place, and so thorough has bean
the preparation Of the soil that there is no
part of it visited by the reporter in which
fitted for plants or seeds.
The brick pillars are in place, and por-
ton of the timber is on the ground for the
new barn to take the place of the one con-
sumed by the fire. The ruins Of the burned
stable have not yet been cleared away, and
as one looks upon the destruction wrought
by the incendiary the feeling is uppermost
that he should suffer the penalty of the law,
and that there is remissness somewhere
| that he should so easily elude capture.
The mules are kept in a temporary en-
| closure, as there is no suitable building on
the place to shelter them, and the wagons
and farm implements, which we're saved
| from the fire, have also to be left out in the
weather. The two fires have not only been
| quite financial loss to Mai. Ryais, but
embarrassing in many ways His hay was
| burned, aud ne has no barn to store the
hay which he must buy in small quanti-
| ties.
The stock must be fed in the open lot. and
as the major is a mercful man who is mer-
ciful to his beasts, he dislil1es to have his
mules out in the cold rains which have set
il. His seed potatoes lie in heaps in the
ruins of his stable roasted, and his mowers,
rakes, plows, and other implements of the
farm lie in heaps of old iron, burned
| warped and broken. Some of these have
been since replaced by new ones. The de
| lays in getting lumber have retarded work
on tue barn, but a temporary she'd will be
put up to protect stock and farm impls-
| In1uts

RAN AWAY WITH HIS CAR.
The Trick Played on Barnard Stree
Line Conductor.

The Trick Played on Barnard Street
Line Conductor.
Shortly before o'clock laet night three
pistol shots fred in rapid succession were
heard on the Ogeechee road, near Lavinia
street. Colored passengers in the down
town street car at that hour say that it was
harmless pistol practice between street
car conductors, and that the sole female
passenger, who was colored woman, al.
most crawled under the seat imagining
that the bullets were coming her way.
The conductor of the car assured a MORN
ING News reporter, who sought to get at
the bottom of the trouble, that there had
been some shooting out that way, but the
colored passengers didn't know anything
about it, and Lneir version was not true
No one was hurt, he said, and he denied
absolutely that it was a shooting scrape of
conductors
Inquiry, however, brought out the fact
that one of the parties implicated in the
atfray, took charge of a conductors car at
the market during the usual momsntary
absence Of the regular conduc or, and leav-
to Battery park, and was returning with it
when the interchange OF shots was had at
the meeting of the two men at or near the
Ogeec lee switch. IL was a shabby trick
played on the conductor, whose indignation
was pronounced that he should be served in
such manner, aud he did not hesitate TO
say that he ought to have chas5ised the man
who had run off with his car.

An Incipient Riot.

There was considerable excitement last
night shortly after nightfall in the neigh
borhood of Jefferson and South Broad
streets. Three colored men rather roughly
handled young white man who had given
them some slight offense. Stung by the in
dignity put upon him, the young man,
when he had shaken himself loose, went
home and armed himself and went back to
avenge the assault, but friends inter-
posed, and none too soon, as some
hundred or more negroes had collected on
the corner, and for a time it looked as if
there would be a riot The young man
was hurried off to a place Of safety, and
after venting their wrath in a noisy way
for awhile the crowd dispersed, their scat
tering being fastened by the approach Of

SATURDAY NIGHT FIRE.
The Loss Estimated by Miller g. 90. al
S3,3OO-The Insurance.

SoioOO-In9 insurance.
The damages by the A. ]. Miller Co. fire
Saturday night are estimated by Mr.. JEFF
D. Miller at So, 800, $500 to the building and
$4,000 to the furniture. The insurance on
the furniture of the entire house was So, 800,
carried by Haines 81 Da iel's and NJ. A.
Cohea's agencies. The latest theory as to
the origin of the fire is that of spontaneous
combustion. The moss was stored near the
grating of the rear door and the
rain fell through on it and soaked
through the material in the storage room,
causing it to ignite. Mr.. Miller had the moss
taken out in the lane yesterday, and upon
opening one of the bales it blazed up from
the center and began to burn. The loss in
CURED is by the cdarrng of chairs and bed
steads and the burning OF the moss. The
furniture in the basement of the store has
been replaced, as we'll as in other parts of
the building. The elevator entrrnce is near
where the fire started aud if it had not been
discovered when it was the shaft would
have served as a chimney for the fire, as in
other instances. Firms are recognizing the
Importance of having elevator doors made
trap doors, 80 as to shut off the draught.

GOING OVER THE ASSESSMENT.
Property Owners Who Want Their
Assessments Reduced

AGSGESLA0ALS AAG04CCA-
There are about $50 property holders who
are interested in examining the returns Of
the city assessors and the raised valuations
made by the assessment committee Of
council
The greater portion of the raised property
is embraced in that part Of the city lying
north of Broughton street lane and between
Abercorn and Jefferson streets, and the
wharf property more especially caught it
heavily.
One of the unfOrtunates who was raised is
the mayor, the assessment committee hav-
ing increased the valuation put upon his
Bull street property by the assessors. He
takes il good naturediy, however, and says
he does not propose to make any complaint
about it. but when propsrty-holder came
up the stairs Of the city exchange two stops
at time to see why his property had bsen
raised the mayor exte lded the hand OF
sympathy and said: They caught me
too
The assessment committee, it is under
stood. did not go critically over the entire
list of real estate and improvements, as the
time was short. An alderman says that he
will favor a new assessment for next year,
and taken early enough, SO that the assess
ment committee can have ample time at its
command for more closely scrutinizing
every piece OF taxable property in the city,
and thus upon the theory that with full
and fair assessment the rate of taxation
may be materially reduced aud the
tax burdens be lighter and more equitably
distributed than at present. the alderman
added that while the assessment committee
raised some property in the business pOr-
ton Of the city it did not raise it enough,
and having started on low basis with one
piece Of property all the rest we're Aecss-
sarily valued corresponding below their
real market value, and it is particularly to
remedy this appraissmsnt that he favors a
new assessment next Year

A PAULIsr ON TEMPERANCE.
Rev. Father Brady breaches an Inter
esting Serm on at the Cathedral

Rev. Father Brady breaches an Inter
esting Sermon at the Cath sdraL
The cathedral was crowded last night
with people in attendance upon tire mission
services which have been in progress for the
last week. TIE congregation was composed
both of Catholics and non-Catholics The
services were conducted by Rev. Fathers
CLARK and Brady. Father Clark gave an in
teresting an instructive lesson on the battle
of Satan with religion, after which Father
Brady delivered a discourse on temperance.
His argument was that moderate hiking
is apt to lead to immoderate drinking and
that the man who drin IS to excess becomes
callous to all his obligations callous to his
duty to himself and to MS family, indif-
ferent to his obi cations towards his neigh
bors, and lastly towards his Creator. He
illustrated his argument by many forcible
anecdotes drawn from his personal obssrva-
ton.
Among other things he remarked that
intemperance deadens a mans sense of honor,
of du y and of RESPONSE ility. The happi-
ness of a mans home-lifs is great desid-
eratum, and intemperance which with most
men becomes, by habitlal drinking, a pas
sion is the arch enemy of home-life and
home happiness.
A feature of the service was the excellent
solo 81 ging # Miss Reynolds of Troy, N.
Y. Her voice is remarkable for it's rich
less and range.
The services will be continued during
this week. At to-nigAt's service, Father
Dashon, who preached in Savannah thirty
two years ago, will preach the sermon.
Father Dashon like the founder OF the
Paulist order and all the member
of the order, vas a convert to Catholicism.
1t was while in charge of the United States
arsenal at Pittsburg, Pa, that he heard a
sermon which convinced him that the
Roman Catholic religion was the true faitt
as it enbracsd all the doc5ri los that other
christians believed, aud more besides.
