Georgia's Episcopalians will have TO elect
another bishop soon. No information
official or otherwise, has been received by
any one in Savannah of Bishop Tslbot's
declination, but the statement from a pri-
vate source in Atlanta that his declination
has been forwarded Is generally credited.
Rev. c, H. Strong, the member of the
standing committee of the diocese from
Savannah, is away from the city.
Rev. Mr.. Curtis, rector of st. Mathews
chapel, college mate Of Bishop Talbot's
said last night to MORNING NEWS re-
porter that he had received no information
on the subject but did rot doubt the cor
rectness of the report Mr. Curtis received
letter from Bishop Talbot shortly after
his election, which gave him reason to
think that Bishop Talbot would not leave
his work in the west, to which he had de-
yo:ed himself for number Of years. Mr..
Curtis expressed strong doubt Of Bishop
Talbot's acceptance at the time.
The seoretery Of the standing committee
Of the diocese, Mr.. z. d. Harrison of At

ceives official announcement that Bishop
TALBOT has declined the call to Georgia, an

Editor Morning Ne,os: l desire to call
attention to the fact. that periodically our
lovely city is ravaged by fires that defy the
efforts Of man to subdue. Various theories
are suggested from time to time looking to-
ward Improvement in our fire service, vet
L venture the assertion that our fire depart
menL will compare favorably with that of
any southern city. How, then, can these
disasters be overcomes Messrs. Quicken
heimer, Solomon and the other victims of
last Friday night have the sympathies of
the entire community, and all speak In
glowing terms Of their pluck and enterprise
in resuming business, even while the fire
ragged, and wish them that success which
their efforts truly merit. In this connec-
ton we desire u call attention to the fact
that the Davis Music Company now have
an unrivaled display of elegant pianos and
organs in their beautiful warerooms that
they are Offering to a cultivated aud ell
lighted community at reasonable prices and
terms. If you desire an instrument call
upon them at once. You will be pleased
and can be easily suited. In conclusion l
desire to say that l trust it wilt be many
years before We are again visited by such a

1t goes without saying that the very
attractive establishment, which is visited
by the crowds of ladies every Saturday. is
worth their while For here is found every.
thing that could be wished for. The finest
selections of beef mutton and veal can be
found there; all kinds of sausages are
always on hand, and vegetables of every
variety. Special selections of choice fruits
are always displayed aud tempt the appe-
titeS of every one who sees them. The pop
u!ar and celebrated Linden Park butter is
received fresh every day, and every one
who has used it says that it is the best but
ter uhey have ever tasted. This is q fact.
When 1t comes to displaying choice green
groceries and meats of every description,
there is no place in the city where a finer
selection can be found than at James ].
Joyce's. the caterer, corner Liberty and
Abercorn streets. Parties who are out of
the city and expect to return soon can send
their orders ahead and Joyce will have
their supplies ready for them on tue day
they return, thus avoiding any incon-
venience and trouble Of running out for
something to eat while they are busy I'M

DE-. JENNINGS OFFICE BURNED.

An Exploding Lamp Sets Fire to the
Furniture and Building.
Shortly before midnight last night an
alarm was turned in from Box SO at Bur-
roughs and Waldburg streets. 1t was occa,
stoned by flames bursting through the win
dows of a one-story frame building at Boil
ton street lane and Montgomery streets &C.
cupied by DR.. W. II. Jennings as an Office
and residence.
The ire was burning briskly when the
department arrived, but it was soon got
under control and extinguished, not, how
ever. before the Office was pretty well
Quilted and its contents damaged.
The fire started In the Office and is
supposed to have been caused by lamp
which was left lighted but was turned
down low, and the accumulated gas caused
it to explode.
The damage 70 the building is probably
about $780, on which there is some iusur-
auce, but in what agency could not be ascer-
famed. 1t was owned by Mrs. Wilhelmina
Kriete.
DR.. Jennings loses his office furniture, be-
sides his diploma, the loss Of which he oemed
to regret most.
The fire department was very prompt In
getting to the fire, the run being made in O
heavy rain with confusion OF alarms.

takes the following on European rice posi-
tion from the circular letter of Richard
Cough g. Co.; I'm addition to the dana ye
reported fromsJapan the general condition
of rice throughout the East Indies SEEING to
be somewhat precarious. The shortage in
some of the larger provinces of China is
undoubted. and as China is the largest con-
sumner of rice Ia the world, and not an ex-
porting country, this fact is of great weight
Besides, in those districts of India which
have suffered so severely from drought,
there is great fear of famine, and
cable advlces to-day report Large ship
ments from Raugoon, Bassen, &c, as
being already msde thither to meet the ex-
pected deficiency. AS to Japan, which is
now the leading foreign rice in this market,
it must be noted that her exports have
never exceeded from 3 to per cent. Of her
crop, SO that deficiency of 20 per cent, as
per conservative estimates received by
cable, would produce a state of affairs
exactly like two years ago,
when az advance began which
placed japan rice here at 6@Gl5c per
pound" In reference to the above Dal Tai
IMAGES Sons say: "Six to SIC psr pound for
cleaned is equivalent to 81 40@S1 so per
bushel rough. 1t would be folly to advise
our planters to hold in expectation of get
ting fancy prices, but there is certainly no
good reason why they should not get right
royal results from their rice crops this year
We say urheSitatingly 81 20 per bushel-
good quality-rough is very reasonable"

The ejectment suits brought by the Millen
heirs have had the effect of bringing large
number of applicants to the Title Guarantee
and Loan Company for insurance of titles.
The company takes charge at once of all
suits brought against titles protected by its
policies. and carefully guards them against
loss. Should the final result be adverse to
the defendants, the losse, are borne by the
insurers, and not by the owners of the prop
erty.
The premium paid for the guarantee Of
titles is small compared with the protection
afforded, aud is payable once only. For the
first $1,000 the charge. including examina-
tion and abstracts, is 3 4 per cent, and for
each additional $1,000 only per cent, this,
as already stated, being payable only once.
