GOSSIP OF BUSINESS.

The New York Commercial Bulletin of
Dot. 20 has the following editorial upon the
condition of the cotton market: "As yet the
immense volume OF the cotton movement
continues unchecked. This weeks figures
show the largest ever attained, making a
total of crop brought into sight since Oct.
l6 a trifie over $4,000 bales, and since
Sept. l. 2,29S,3S9 bales against
209S,6S2 bales for the corresponding
period last year. This simply immense
movement. comparing as it does with the
start OF the largest crop as yet ever grown,
naturally creates distrust of the low esti-
mates of this years yield. 1t is, however,
claimed by great many well-posted oper-
ators that following a remarkably early and
general maturity Of the crop this season
came absolute perfection of picking
weather, and that at date the
harvest is practically completed over
wide area OF the cotton belt, which,
in conjunction with financial necessities
compelling quick marketing of first gather
ing. has raised temporary barrier of bale,
concealing the actual deficit In crop.
Already southern advices commence to
strengthen materially In tone, aud this is
accepted as an evidence that those closely
In touch with the supply commence to dis
cover indications Of a falling of in the

HORIZONS IN a BAD LIGHT.

The Suspicion That They Fired the
Oconee Trestle strengthening.
The Centrars burned trestles over the
Oconee swamp were repaired yesterday and
trains passed over all right.
General Superintendent McBee. with
Supt. Dill and his force OF hands are still at
the scene Of the fire, but will return this
morning.
The Horton brothers, arrested on suspi-
cion of having set fire to the trestles, are
still in jail at Sandersville. and evidence
against them Is accommodating.
A valise found at their home at
Sun Hill smelled strongly of ker-
osene, aud circumstantial evidence
points TO them as the criminals. They and
their friends claim that an alibi can be
proved. A commitment trial will be held
Thursday, Nov. 5.

Salvini's Eneaeement.

The announcement made yesterday of
the engagement of the young romantic
actor, Alexander Salvini, has awak>
ened a pleasurable anticipation on the
part of society people and theater-goers in
general. In an artistic sense Mr.. Salvini's
engagement will doubtless be the most Inn
portapt of the season up to this time. 1t is
doubtful If on the occasion of a first appear
auce in Savannah any actor has ever made
the emphatic hit that Alexander Salvini
did when seen here last season. The engage
ment was for but one night when he was
seen as "Dos Cesar &c Bazan" in D'Ennery's
romance Of that name, but his success was
instantaneous. There is q charm about
young Salvini. His youth, vigor and fire
are peculiarly adapted to heroic roles, such
as those in which he will be seen here. He
unites the vivacity of the Frenchman with
the fire of the Spanlard, and the bravado of
the Italian desperate. Then his superb
physique, rich, powerful voice and magnifi-
cent stage presence lend to him a charm
over which men and women rave. The
American stage has not before presented an
actor at his early years who was capable of
playing these parts, and the very important
essentials of youth and vigor which Salvini
imparts to them makes them all the more
charming. His opening bill Friday will be
Dumas romance. 1.-THE Three Guardsmen :"
with Salvini as "D'Artagnan.n A capable
company headed by Miss Selena Fetter,
will assist him.

A FIRE FAX IN BABYLON.
An Infant With a Face hot Largel
Than Silver Dollar.

IMAM a silver OOlIar.
A case was brought to the knowledge of
the MORNING NEWS yesterday which needs
the attention of charity. 1t is that OF de-
serted female baby, which is being cared for
by Liza Cohen, an old colored woman in a
hut on the Ogeechee road, just north OF Bis
marck street.
A MORNING NEWS reporter visited the
place yesterday and saw the baby, which is
a curiosity on account of its size. 1t has a
face which is about the size of silver dol
lar and its hands are but little larger than
the joint Of a mans finger.
The Cohen woman said the child be-
longed to young woman living on Ander-
son street, and was given to her three
weeks ago by the mother because it was
illegitimAte and her parents wouldn't allow
her to keep it. The negro woman said she
is paid little money by the grad.
parents and was told she could
do Rwhat she liked with the
child. They gave no clothing to
cover the little thing aud the old woman has
begged enough to keep it comtor ably
warm. The mother and grandparents Of
the baby, he saws, are well ahle TO support
her, but because Of the accident Of its
birth. The authorities would do society
and Christianity service by looking into
the matter.

A BLAZE AT TIE GORDON PRESS.
sixty-ni=e Bales of Cotton More or

sixty-ni=e Bales of Cotton More or
Less Scorched.
There came near being very disastrous
cotton fire in the yard of the Gordon press
on the canal yesterday morning about IL
O'CLOCK.
Fire broke out without warning among
lot of cotton on the canal bank and in a
few moments large number of bales were
in blaze.
Supt. Cohen, Of the press, sent in a tele-
phone alarm to No, engine house on Weet
Broat street and Immediately set
to work with his whole force lighting
the fire. The fire apparatus of toe press
was put to work at once with good effect,
and all the cotton near the canal bank was
tumbled into the caual. By the time the
firemen from No. 2 reached the scene the
fire was under control. and the iremen did
not find it necessary to turn on q stream, but
assisted the press employees in throwing the
remainder Of the burning bales into the
canal
Sixty-nine bales were more or less
burned. The cotton belonged TO Wilder
& Co. and was insured in the United States
Lloyd's The damage was slight and will
not average over a few dollars to bale. II
it had not been for the prompt
work Of Supt Cohen and his
men a disastrous fire might have
resulted The automatic sprinklers
in the yards did good work, the heat caus-
ing the caps of two of them to fly off, and
the sprinklers to revolve throwing a stream
of water for ten feet around.
Chief Puder says that the present ar.
rangemeBt Of tracks by which the pushers
run back and forth among the cotton is
very dangerous, and likely TO cause eeri-
GUS fire ct any time, especially wnen there
is snch a large amount of cotton in the
yards as at present. The pushers are sup
piled with spark arresters, but these do not
prevent an occasional spark escaping.

THE BENDO ON FIRE.
ONE THOUSAND BALES OF COTTON
DAMAGED.

Tho vessel Almost Loaded and e
Have Cleared for Liverpool To-day
10000 Bales on Board and About
100 to Be Put in When the Fire
Stsrted-The Flames Confined to the
Forward Compartment-The First
Estimated Damage $4,000.
Shortly before II o'clock last night the
cotton in the forward compartment OF thu
British steamship Bendo, lying at Gordon's
wharf was discovered ON fire by the watch
man aboard the vessel. He raised the cry
of fire. and the watchman on the wharf ran
out several lengths Of hose and turned a
stream on the burning cotton, after which
he turned in an alarm from box 7S.
When the fire department
arrived at the wharf smoke was pouring
out of the vessel in volumes and blaze was
bursting through the bow port holes. Two
engines we're put to pumping from the river
and several strong streams were soon pour
ing into the hold of the Bendo. The tug
Regis came alongside shortly afterward
and turned in two streams from the star
board side.
THE FIRE QUICKLY CONTHOLLED.
After about fifteen minutes flooding the
fire was got under control sufficiently to
allow the crew to get to work removing the
cotton which was not burning. The donkey
engines were put in operation and the bales
hoisted out as rapidly as possible, while the
firemen went below and worked on the
burning cotton.
There were 1000 bales in the compartment
which was afire, and about half will be more
or less damaged The heavy bulkheads
prevented the fire from getting beyond the
compartment in which it originated.
The fire was hot one. and at 2 o'clock
this morning the engines and tug were still
at work flooding the vessel.
ITS ORIGIN UNKNOWN.
It's origin is unknown, but it had good
start before being discovered, because when
the Waterman saw the smoke and looked
into the hatch the place looked like
furnace Workmen on the wharf claim to
have noticed the odor of burning cotton all
of yesterday and several times examined
the wharf to see if there was any FIRE.
The Bendo was to have cleared for Liver
pool to-day. She was almost loaded, only
about 100 bales remaining TO be put into
her. At the time of the fire the vessel had
IL, 500 bales aboard.
The: burned cotton belonged to different
parties and was covered by Insurance In
marine companies. A. Minis Sons are
agents for the Bendo. The loss will probably
be in the neighborhood of SIS. 900.
