Two Houses on Cwinnett Street Lane
burned Yesterday Morning

Two Houses on Gwinnett Street Lane
burned Yesterday Morning.
Just as the freuen weye about to take
needed rest yesterday morning after their
hard fight at the Times building fire an
alarm was rung in from box IS, at Bur
rougbs and Waldburg streets, a few minutes
before o'clock. Although worn out by
their labcrs at the other three fires in
twenty-four hours, the men responded
promptly.
The fire was in large wostory frame
house on Gwinnett street lane, between
Cuyler and Cemetery streets. 1t had good
head way when the department arrived, and
the flames communicated to a one story
frame house Immediately adjoining. After
an hours hard work the FIRE was extin-
Cuished. but not before it had badly Quilted
both;buildingS.
The large building belonged to Mrs.
Waltham (colored) and the smaller one to
Joe johnson (colorei). 1hey-were Injured.
The loss will be in the neighborhood Of
$4,000.
F. G. dub, one Of the large horses of No.
engine, ran nail into his foot on his way
to the fire and is in q bad condition. All
the horses as we'll as the men are worn out.
The firemen deserve credit for the way in
which they performed their arduous duties
for the last forty-eight hours. Chief Puder,
Assistant Chief Mouro and the department
in general are being congratulated on all
sides for the manner in which the fires have
been managed, despite the many disad-
vantages under which they labored.

TALKS TO YouN9 PEOPLE.
Rev. a. j. JarrelIs Sermon on "Char-
acter Building"

Rev. a. j. JarrelIs Sermon on "Char-
ecter Building"
Rev. A. J. FARRELL preached to the young
people at Trinity church yesterday upon
Character Building" using the same sub
ject and text at both services, the sermon
at night being continuation Of the morn
ing sermon.
Mr.. farrell does not believe in long SER
mons, and will cut q sermon in two rather
taan allow il to be too long. His text was
from the last chapter of Revelations, 18th
verse: HE that is unjust, let him be I'M
just still; and no which is filthy, let him be
filthy still; and he that is righteous, let
him be be righteous still; and he that is
holy, let him be holy still"
Mr.. Jarrells line was that character
once formed is permanent. whether good or
bad and is likely to remain as it was formed.
The three prominent ideas Of tho morning
sermon were. first, the formation of charac,
ter is always slow and silent; second, charac-
ter resembles an artificial hole made up of
the interply of 10000 threads, and third,
character is always the same throughout,
like engraving upon marble. the letters are
marble if they are a hundred feet deep.
IL his night sermon Mr. FARRELL dweit
upon three cautions: "Dig deep when you
lay your foundations for character, avoid
the surface, avoid superficiality."
AS an evidence of the value Of digging
deep the speaker instauced the great bridge
over the Mississippi at So. Louis and the
Johnstown bridge which withstood the ter
rlble floods during the great disaster, the
foundations OF both of which were laid TO q
great depth.
Take care what goes into the building
of your character" was the second caution.
I he third was, the time is limited il
which this character can be found. Put
only the best material in it. 1t will have to
stand the inspection Of two worlds" The
outlines give a very fair idea Of the sermon
Both morning and night services were
well attended.
MIR. FARRELL will preach the second OF his
series of sermons to young people next Sun
day night upon the subject of Character
Making" taking his text from the parable
of the "house that fell"

SEARCHING FOR HER BOY.

Nunr OF us Board NO Hnnsa.

Mrs. Denson's Son Found Alive and
Well at His Board ng House.
Mrs. NJ. E. benson of Macon. who thought
the unknown mau killed at Tennille last
Wednesday night, a full account OF which
has been given in the MORNING NEWS,
was her son who had been working ct Mac
Donelrs grocery in Savannah, found her
son here safe and well, much to her delight.
A photograph taken of the dead man,
and which was shown Mrs. benson, so much
resembled young Deuson that the
young mans mother at once
became anxious TO know whether
or not it was her son
Further inquiry developed the fact that
there was a mark upon the dead mans
hand similar to one on one Of Denson's
hands. Mrs. benson went to Tennille and
the body of the dead man was disinterred
for her to view. Decomposition had
progressed so far that it was still impossible
for her to say whether it was that of her
boy.
She telegraphed Chief of Police Green,
WAC advised her, after investigation, that
benson was hero, but not in the employ of
Mr.. MacDOnel.
Mrs. benson at once came TO Savannah.
She fist went to the police barra ks, and
was directed by the sergeant on duty to
Lester 11uDD6tl as GUb Lldn unOst HhcAJ
to give her Information as to the where
abouts Of her son. Mrs. benson at once
went to Mr.. Hubbell, who informed her
that her son had left MacDonell & Co. four
or five months ago, and was in the employ
of Nicholas Lang. He directed
her to Mr.. Lang. Somewhat
treasured she went to Mr.. Lang's house and
was overjoyed when that gentleman in
formed her that he had seen her son about
half an hour before.
he directed her to Denson's boarding
house at the corner Of Barnard and Hull
streets, where she found him alive and in
good health and spirits.
Young benson is at work at Lang's gro
Gerry on Barnard street as usual he appre-
ciates his mothers love too much to go out
tramping through the country and get him
self shot Dy some irresponsible party simply
for looking suspicious.

CONFESSED THE CAR ROBBEREES.
Watts went into detailed account Of the
car robberies committed by himself aud his
gang, giving the class of goods he had
stolen and the money he had got from the
sales. He said they had stolen and killed
four COWS oGce, Dave Mills doing the butch

southern part of the city, Watts said we're
committed by him aud his gang. He con-
fessed robbing Mrs Mlller's place at Mont
gomery and Fourth stree and attempting
to rob u store at Whitaker and Second
streets, but the gang was driven away af er
pulling down the door. He told how he and
his companions robbed the Markham house
and several dwellings in Atlanta.

TO SURVEY TIE RAPID ;.

Electric Plant Experts Looking Into
the Canoochee River Scheme.
George L. Smith. general manager of the
Heuser Electric Plant Company Of Phila-
delphia, is in the city. He came south to
look after the company's interest in the
building of an electric plant on the banks
of the CAnoochee river.
The last issue Of the Manufacturers
Record contains an interesting article con-
corning the Development OF electricity by
water power at tho Canoochee rapids as
contemplated by the Savannah syndicate,
which has recently purchased 1000 acres of
land, acquiring the ownership OF the rapids.
The pdrchase Of the property was az
nounced in the MORNING NEWS last week,
and the pleGs Of the syndicate were out
lined.
Mr.. Smith will made survey of the prop
erty and will report upon tho plans for util-
izlng the water power in tie rapids and the
establishment of the electric plant.
The projected enterprise has excited con-
siderable interest and letters Of inquiry
have been received from various sources
concerning it.
Aside from the water power controlled by
the syndicate in the purchase of the rapids
a stone quarry has been discovered on the
land which will furnish the quality o.
stone desired for the river and harbor I'M
provements, aud which has heretofore heen
brought from the north and elsewhere at
heavy cost. The contractors for the
jetty work in the harbor have offered
81 900 prize for the discovery of a quarry
producing such stone as they require. The
quarry on tie Canoochee. as far as devel-
oped, promises to meet the requirements.
The purchase Of the property promises
not only to be profitable investment for
the purchasers, but if the establishment Of
an electric plant there, with facilities for
furnishing cheaper power and light, is car
ried into effect it will be of inestimable i'm
portance to Savannah.

THE TIMES BUILDING FRS.
The Less Not as Heavy as Was First

The damage to the Savannah Daily
Times building and plant by yesterday

day. is $3.50 The insurance ON the
building, which is owned in Balti-
more and was leased TO J. F.
Cavanaugh, and by him to the Times Pub
lisning Company, is not known, but the

second to the third floors, and burned up to
the com posing-room, on the upper floor, was
confued TO that part OF the building. The
type is slightly damaged. the principal
damage to the contents of the building being
by water.
The origin of the fire is as much of a mYs-
terry as it was when first discovered, aud 80
far only theories have been advanced to &C.
count for IL.

ing company was held Yesterday and an
