BALnIACEDA's SUICIDE.

Tho tragic death of Dictator Balma-
ceda, by his own hand, is, it is hoped
the last act of Chili's bloody drama.
While it removes the last obstacle to
the peace of Chilli, i t is tho sad ending
of brilliant career, and striking il
lustration of the danger of unbridlcd
ambition.
Balmaceda was one of the ablest men
Chilli has produced and he has done his
country much service. Ho left long
letter, in which he defended his course,
declaring that he had done what he be-
lievcd to be right, and that much of
tho cruelty that had been charged to
him was the fault of others. He says
that his cause was lost through tho
infdelity of the officers of his army.
Balmaceda's fall was the triumph of
constitutional liberty, and his suicide,
besides helping to restore the tranquil
ity of Chilli, will save tho country from
the disgrace of his body having heen
torn to pieces by an Infatuated mob.

TESTING THE La FRANCE.
The New Fire Engine Works Very Success
fully.


The New Fire Engine Works Very Success
fully.
The new ia France" fire engine was
tested yesterday evening at o'clock on
Campbell street at the intersection Of
Lick and Trout runs.
Several hundred feet of hose was
taken down, and then the engine was
placed in position on the bridge. A
large crowd of people soon collected, all
eager to see the test made.
One hundred feet of hose was attached
to one side of the engine. and to this
was affixed IA inch nozzle. Two
hundred and sixty feet was measured
off on Holiday street, and the engine
was fired up.
Messrs. E. P. Crolly and w. II. Bard
well, representatives of the company
wao manufactured the engine, were on
hand, and superintendent tho test. Mr..
Bardwell acted as engineer and Mr..
Crolly looked after the list of the hose
and the distance the water was re-
CURED to be thrown.
When the engine was fired up it re-
fused to draw for minute and tho
smoke rolled outfrom below. But it
soon found an opening, and three min
utes later there were ten pounds of
steam. In ten minutes there was one
hundred pounds, and the pumps were
started. A stream of water shot out of
the nozzle and reached one hundred
feet. A few minutes later under one
hundred and twenty-five pounds of
steam, the full force was turned on the
water, which was taken from Lick run,
wet the ground two hundred and fifty
feet away, and even went over the re-
CURED mark amid quite lively ap-
plause.
After this hose was attached to the
other side of the engine and the two
were connected by siamese coupling
to which the same nozzle was attached.
BY this means the water was thrown
fully 275 feet.
A test with 13s inch nozzle sent a
fine stream of water 255 feet.
The last test was made with 1 200 feet
Of hose and one inch nozzle. The re-
quirement was that the water should
be thrown 23O feet. This test was
success also, the water lcaping over the
limit with ease.
1t is claimed for the engine that in
seven minutes after the torch has been
applied it will generate 100 pounds of
steam. Yesterday, however, it took ten
in consequence of the box having been
filled with a lot of oak shavings which
choked the draft. 1t was also standing
still at the time, when it is we'll know n
fact that it will steam quicker when
moving. The test was complete sue
cess, and the fire and water committee
who witnessed the test pronounced it
so, and will no doubt accept it.

HEW TO TIE LINE.
HE TIMES evidently struck

HE TIMES evidently struck a bulls
eye when it discovered consessed-
Judgment against chief of Police Morris
for S1,750 in an obscure corner of the
Judgment book and gave it publicity.
Councils took tho matter upvigorously
last evening and handled it without
gloves. A special committee of Coun-
ellis was appointed to investigate the
subject at once and report to a regular
or special meeting. THE TIMES has no
pride of position or discovery in this
matter; it is only anxious to know the
truth and place it before the public.
Under the present system of hand
ling .hhe city accou nts it is the duty Of
the chief of police to turn in moneys
collected from fines to the city trea
surcr, getting at the same time a. paid
warrant for tho amount so deposited.
Chief Morriss shortage exists, so it is
rumored, only from last November.
That was the impression given out in
Councils last night from those who are
in position to know.
Yet it is still moro strongly reported
that tho shortage is of several years
standing, and the city administration of
recent years has connived at and con-
cealed the shortage.
If the shortage is of long standing,
when was it discovered and by whom?
How many have known it? Why was 1T
kept concealed?

Song of the Last wildfiower.
From Good Literature.


Tho the winter winds my requiem patter,
AS they heap me around
With deep snow mound,
And wide the leaves of my bloom they scatter;
Yet do but sleep
In my winter keep,
So the wild winds song Is but idle chatter.
My tender shoots, they are spent and weary;
tbs long time ago
Since we shot from the snow,
And the stricken woods they are now so dreary
That long for rest;
But the winter bIest,
So you must not weep for my fate. my dearie.
Why is winter best? For the song of praise
That then hear
From the dying year
sweet sW an song that the winds upraise:
For the winds SO drear
To mortal ear
Are chords Of the harp that the spent year plays
hear the strain rise high and higher
In the breaking dawn
OF each Christmas morn:
Then taken up by a heavenly Tyre;
Then. sweet and sweeter,
In wondrous metre,
It's given words by an angel choir.
And lose myself in trance of wonder,
And sink to rest
On Earth's warm breast,
As she lies, snow-mantled, the cold skies under
Till spring and the showers
Awaken those flowers
Still deaf to the unbound rivers thunder,
JOSEPH D. CREEDEN.

Great Aid to savannah's Growth


Just now Savannah is one of the best ad-
vertised cities in the United States
Though the late strike OF dock laborers ia
not thing to be especially proud of. it was
not wholly devoid Of good results. 1t was
a great inconvenience while it lasted
Nevertheless it very thoroughly advertised
this city all over the country.
But the biggest advertisement and the
one which will benefit the city more than
anything that has been done since Ogle-
thorpe first landed on its rocky bluff is the
recently inaugurated deep water project. II
there is not twenty-e!ght feet Of water
from the Hermitage to the outer buoy at
Tybee within the next half of decade il
must be Capt. Carriers fault, or for lack Of
effort on the part of our people.
To those who have been preaching fol
years about the commercial position Of
Savannah aud her various advantages, tn i.
fair prospect of a bright future brings in,
tense satisfaction.
With deep water port secured, the de.
sired 1000 people will probably be here
by 1895, or therenbout. Possibly the
gOodly number of 100000 may be or hand
five or ten years thereafter.
If it means anything, the growth of
Savannah in population and wealth means
like expansion Of kindred interests and
the commensurate improvement Of all the
adjacent country within a radius Of many
miles around,
1t will not only develop Chatham county
7 Il
neighboring counties.
Brunswick and Darien with their splendid
commercial facilities will receive a full
share of tho heavy trade that will thus be
drawn to the South Atlantic coast.
1t is very gratifying to see that there are
now but few laggards in these important
efforts to force Savannah to the front
Whatever is to be done should be done
unitedly and now. There is no time 10 be
lost.

Lunch as a Long Shot.

A sport" who visits the race track at Glou-
cester with more frequency than luck was re-
turning home one night last week when he met
with strange experiences, says the Philadel-
phia Record. He had tarried long in the Jersey
town and had looked upon the when it was red.
Consequently when be reached the city he was
in that uncertain state when be didn't know
just exactly whether he was walking past the
houses or the houses walking past him. On
his way uptown he passed a saloon. on the door
of which was displayed the sign, Lunch, IL to
l." Our inebriated friend steadied himself
against a convenient lamp-pos and pondered:
Theresa horsh never heard of. before" he
muttered. But like his Chic) name. an I'm
goin' to play i'm 4 got broke. Twelve-to-one
shot. TOO"
Staggering through the door he approached
the bar, and laying down dollar, said; Gimme
Lunch "
The bartender was dumbfounded, but finally
saw the Joke and tried to explain. But the
sport wouldn't have it that way. and started
in to clean out the place. Is took three police
men and patrol wagon to Convince him of his
error.

Many of the literary contemporaries of
Novelist William Dean Howells will be
interested to know that his latest romance
is called THE Quality of Mercy Some of
them who have made his acquaintance in
the capacity of magazine critic with a
metaphorical meat AK will be real glad to
learn that he has been giving that very
attractive subject some little attention of
late. Heretofore they seem to have gath
cred from the tenor of his remarks that he
was wholly unacquainted with it. Happi-
ness may yet result if the autocratic author
doesn't confne the new title altogether to
fiction.
