Incendiaries Touch the Torch on
Nichols Street.
A few minutes before 1 O'Clock this morn
ing Mounted Officer Davis who was riding
the outskirts of the city smelled smoke
and looked around to discover its origin.
He located il In two small one-story frame

RAIL AND CROSsrIR.

Chief P. NJ Arthur Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers Of the United States
Is In Birmingham in answer TO a call from
the order there. The call was made to set
tie little difference between tine engineers
In the employ of the Birmingham Railway
and Electric Company and the company.
The men claim that they have a contract
with the company for 80 cents per hour. and
tnae the company, some time ago, reduced
the pay 10 271S cents per hour. The CON-
pany does not know that such contract
exists, but says that some time ago such an
agreement did exist. but that the reduction
was made over year ago.
The Columbia State says: THE South
Bound railroad is coming toward Columbia
at rapid rate. and there can be no further
doubt that the road will reach this point at
the time already mentioned. Wednesday
night forty-five SKILLED trAcklayers were
brought down from York to swell the force
now at work laying the track between this
city and GFahams, from which town the
work Is rapidly progressing. The contrac-
tors say that within the next ten days they
will have at least between $50 and 500 men
engaged In the laying of rails alone, and
propose to rush the track through to this
point as fast as human labor can do it.
Jay Gould's phenomenal run from the
Missouri river to Chicago is still the theme
Of conversation in railroad circles. Many
splendid runs have been made on Ameri-
can roads, but never before was the terrific
speed Of 102 miles on hour attained with
steam as a motive power. In 1884 J. d.
Laying. general manager OF the West Shore,
then ackno wledged to have the finest road
way in the world, took Rogers locomo-
tive on the most favorable part of the track
and succeeded in making eigbtY-two miles
an hour. 1t is said that on the UNITED rail-
roads Of New Jersey. part Of the Pennsyl-
wanna, speed OF ninety-two miles an hour
was once attained. and that about the same
time was made on the Central railroad of
New Jersey. For long distance running
the Gould special has earned the palm.
William Hsworth, contract agent for the
Ocean Steamship Company, is receiving
complimentary notices all over the country
for his order calendars. Here is one from
the Hotel Reporter: 1.-THE transportation
men throughout the country say tho best
piecc of special advertising that has come
to their notice lately was accomplished by
the Ocean Steamship Company Savannah
line), when they issued the "Haworth's
Patent Order Calendar" The hundreds of
thousands of these issued and distributed
through the south and southwest has re-
suited in thousands OF the 'ordersn torn
from the calendars scattered through the
manufacturers and jobbers of the north "to
ship all their goods via the Savannah liue,n
and the company since the first Of the year
has been reapiDg the bsuedt of this scheme.
Great credit reflects upon Mr.. William II.

An Interview.

The attention Of a MORNING News re-
porter was called to the elegant display of
meats at the store of J. J. Joyce yesterday.
The great rush at his establishment was
noticed by every passer on Saturday.
"Where do you secure such fine meats, u

ishments, and consequently get the choicest
selections of meats.
"There is class of trade that cater to

1t is to my interest TO do all in my power TO
give it just what it wants. I succeed.
See for yourself. This elegant display Is a
usual thing at this establishment, and YOU

RIVER PIRATES WORK.
Vessels Along the Wharves Stripped
OF Their Tackle.

OF AhCAA 46OhACs
River pirates aud wharf thieves are get
ting in some Of their fine work along the
docks. The Savannah Lighterage and
Transfer Company is frequently victim.
It's lighters and barges strung along the
wharves are robbed OF their lines. tackle,
and anchors regularly and system atically.
1t is as natural for a steamboatrnan or
Iighterman. on finding his lines and tackle
stolen. TO rush 10 junk shop aud find his
property there as for theIman who has been
robbed Of his watch to go to Dawnshop.
The thieves who were operating on the
river yesterday morning were little two
slow, for after stripping the lighter they
made Off with the property without tender
ing it for sale. Toe Waterman on the
Charleston lighter Agostino c., dis;harging
at Wilcox, Gibbs 81 Go. s wharf, heard
crashing sound on the outside of his
lighter, and on looking over the side saw
the steam hosting lighter OF the lighterage
company Rdrift and Dumping against bis
craft He secured her before she could do
much damage. She had been moored early
in the evening with two good bow lines to
the wharf, and they had evidently been
stolen,
p The thieves had also cut the lines attached
TO steam hoisting lighter further up the
wharf alongside Of the schooner John u.
OCllulub bub Jbey mus1 udNo boSA liz
turbed as they did not remove the lines
They also visited the wharf Of the
Merchants and Miners Transportation
Company and relieved the lighter
there of all its tackle. Yesterday after
noon some OF the property was found hid
den under pile OF lumber on the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western wharf, near
Bilbo canal, and was identified by some
members of the lighterage company as
their property.
The same night at Harmon's wharf a
small schooner belonging 10 II. c. Hamilton
was stripped Of every block, rope, az
chors and sails, in fact all OF her running
tackle. There is no clew to the thieves.
The river front is a splendid field for the
sneak thief. There is no accounting for
what will happen from these thefds, as it is
not alone the loss incurred by the taking of
the property, but the amount of damage
that may be done by reason of collision
owing TO the vessels drifting aoout the har~
Dor unnamed.

TIE DETECTIVES BAFPLED BY A
LACK OF CLEWS.
MESSENGER COULTER'S STORY.
liz OPENED TIE SAFE With A
PISTOL At HIS Head.
The AMOUNT SECURED

The detectives ended their first days
search for tue express robbers at mldnlght
last night without any tangible result
Detective Basch took two bloodbounds
out 10 the scene OF the robbery yesterday
morning, but the animals made failure OF
the Job. They took the scent all right at
first and ran it as far as where there had
been small fire in the woods, bu5 there
they lest it entirely Around the spot Detec-
tive Basch found several charred remnants
of the express envelopes, showing that the
robbers had extracted the money and tried
TO destroy all evidence. No trace whatever
of the pouches was found. There were
footprints in every direction from the FIRE
and it was impossible for the detective or
dogs to tell which way the men went.
MAY HAVE BEEN ORTIZ STEIN.
There is a suspicion that Orth Stein, for
whom $4,000 in rewards is already offered.
was the leader in the robbery. Stein was
in Rome last Monday. He went from there
to Calhoun, where he vas arrested Wednes-
day on account OF suspicious conduct, the
officers not knowing at the time that
I6 WIS luo uObOTlOus outlaw.
He told them he was John Bell, and that he
was from Savannah. Thursday he was re-
leased on q writ Of habeas corpus and struck
out at once for Atlanta, which he reached
the same night
kilograms were sent TO the Atlanta police
TO arrest him, but when the police began to
look him UP it was found he had left the
city for Savannah.
Stein is tall and lank, with a smooth
shaven face, and his special distinction is
his extraordinarily red lips. His descrip-
ton tallies exactly with that given by Mes
senger Coulter of ono of the robbers
Stein is a notorious train robber and all
round crook, He has done time" in the
Ohio penitentiary for one of his numerous
crimes BE is also said to have killed three
men.
Detectives Basch and Wetherhorn are at
work on the case, and three detectives from
other points are assisting them.
THE AMOUNT OF THE ROBBERY.
The express company officials are reticent
as TO the exact amount of money secured by
the robbers. Agent Cooper said yesterday
morning it was nothing like the amount ru-
nlored and at the outside 1t was not over $400.
IL Is the general belief outside, however,
that tue amount is much larger than that
sNou Ouh ny bus EXPRESS company. Inc
reasons are that several Bay street mer-
chants are said to have made large remit
tances Friday night to Atlanta and
Augusta for cotton. IL is the
custom also Of the cotton buyers
to make remittances Friday and Friday
night TO merchants in the small towns along
tho railroad TO buy cotton coming 10 on
Saturday. The larger amounts, however,
may have been III the sealed safe. The
brokers of the city were notified yesterday
to look out for a state of Georgia 1900
per cent. bond, No. 243, due 1895. The
notification did not come from the express
company, but it was supposed that the
bond was one secured by the express rob-
bers.
