A BLAZE IN CURRYTow WIN.

A Grocery and Dwelling at Montgom-
cry and Berrien Streets Destroyed.
Louis A. Stevens grocery store and the
dwelling overhead, at Montgomery and
Berrien streets. were destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning. The fire started in the
bar in the rear Of the grocery, and spread
with remarkable rapidly An alarm was
turned i'll from box 80, at Wayne and West
Broad streets, aud when the department ar
rived the flames had broken through the
roof and were threatening adjoining prop
erty. Two young men who slept over the
store had narrow escapes from being
burned to death, and had TO run out in their
night clothes and dress on the street.
The firemen had to contend with strong
wind, which scattered the sparks for sew
eral blocks. By good work. however, they
managed to oonfine the fire to the building
in which it originated. Two other houses
caught, but were quickly extinguished with
out any damage being done.
The grocery was constructed of brick,
and the dwelling portion of wood. The
building was owned by William II. Doouer,
and was fully insured in company repre>
sented by Dearing a. Hull. Stevens esti-
mates his loss at $500, which is also covered
in the st. Paul Fire aud Marine Insurance
Company, represented by Mr.. Julian Schley.

GETTING READY FOR CAMP.
The First Regiment to Garry Full
Ranks Next Month.

The First Regiment to Garry Full
Ranks Next Month.
The Savannah military is all agog over
the coming encampment, and from present
indications the First regiment will have a
much larger representation at Cnickamauga
next month than that which attended the
Augusta encampment last year.
The law requires that each command
shall take into camp thirty-one men, but
from the interest which is being manifested
the companies will 60 considerably beyond
the limit
The Greens ard Blues have already taken
action on the matter aud expect TO take up
forty or more The Cadets, Oglethorpes
and German Volunteers will also take up
more than the requirement demands. The
First regiment will be the first to enter
camp. 1t will leave here on Sunday, June
IA, and go into camp next day. After the
regiment returns the Guards battalion and
Chatham Artillery will take q turn at camp
life.
This years encampment is not optional
like that Of last. Every company Of white
state troops must put in its week in camp
under penalty Of disbandment. The grounds
at Chickamauga are being put in thorough
order as rapidly as possible. A kitchen
will be built for cooking purposes. and but
two mea will occnpy one tent. This will
be quite an improvement over the last en-
campment, when three had to use the same
tent

RACING ON THE RIVER.

The Georgia Regatta Association to
Revive the Sport This Summer.
The Georgia Regatta Association is pre-
pairing for the summer season, and expects
to give the river a lively appearance this
year. Three regattds will be given, one
early next month and the other two in
July and August.
Secretary Turton is in communication
with northern parties relative to the pur-
chase OF several new boats for the use of its
members and for racing purposes. The
association has over 100 members, and the
committee appointed to secure applications
have about twenty for consideration at
the next meeting, which will be held at an
early day. The ass ociation has in it's boat
house, opposite the city exchange, two
four-oared paper racing gigs Of the most
improved patterns, and two working boats,
the Josie King and the famous king Cot
ton, in which the "Schley Boys" made
such a record for themselves here and else
where. Negotiations are being made for
two pair-oared gigs and four Whitehall
skiffs.
The Georgia Regatta Association was or
gained two years ago, and its object is to
roster and encourage aquatic sports on the
river by giving both sailing and rowing
races. Nearly all of the yachtowners in
the city are members, and the association
will probably give during the summer
sailing race in addition to the rowing
regattas. The Savannah river is as good
for racing purposes as the Thunderbot
course, as it Is we'll know fact that pilot
boats drawing ten feet often "heat" all the
way up to the city, which would be rather
difficult task on the Wilmington river ex-
cept at high tide.
Three crews are now practicing for the
first regetta :O5borne's, Clay's and Strobhar's
ana three more will begin next week.
Savannahians will see sport revived
this summer that has been practically dead
on the river for the past ten years, aud
some exciting races are looked for. The
association sustained severe loss in the
death of bob Hillink, aud his place as
stroke in one Of the crack crews is very
hard to fill. The present officers OF the
association are: George P. Walker, com
modore; Harry Willink, vice commodore;
G. s. Connerat, rear commodore; G. w.
Strobhar, treasurer; John Turton, score
taFV.

feels that he has built up healthy racing
sentiment in Savannah.
The failure to build the railroad kept
back many people who would have liked to
witness the exciting sport. Had the road

5000 people would have a tended daily.

his fall programme. The exact date will be
settled as soon as the railway project devel>
opes little more, which, from all indica-
tions, will be very soon. The projectors
expect TO complete the Work already begun

NO FURTHER TROUBLE.
THE CENTRAL AND IFS ENGINEERS
COME TO TERMS.

Chief Arthur Sets Things Straight
After an Hour's Conference.-The Says
the Engineers Never Had Any Rsa
Cause for Complaint and he Was
Called IN Unnecessarily - General
Manager Gabbett Unaware of Mr..
Arthur's Coming Until He Was
Tslegraphed in New York-Bng.neer
Cleary's Case to be Looked Into.
The threatened trouble between the Gen.
trail and its engineers has been settled salts
factorily to both sides, and everything ap-
pears TO be serene. In fact there was no
real cause for any trouble TO begin with,
and there was no necessity for calling in
Chief Arthur. Mr.. Arthur said as much
himself yesterday morning.
1.-The complaints Of the engineers should
always be laid before the proper officials of
the road. he added, "and the chief engineer
only called in when redress has been refused
by the railroad officials"
Mr.. Gabbett did not know of any trouble
with the engineers nor the presence Of Chief
Arthur in the city until telegraphed of
these facts at New York, where he has been
for several days. He did not consider it Of
sufficient importance to return at once, but
left the matter with Supt. Starr.
A CONFERENCE WITH sUPT. STARR.
Chief Arthur and "a committee Of en-
gineers met Supt. Starr yesterday morning.
The conference lasted less than an hour,
and q little explanation on both sides easily
set the matter straight
"The whole difficulty" said Chief Arthur
to a MORNING News reporter afterward,
"arose from misconception Of certain
terms of the contract by the engineers
making the complaint. The misconception
brought about the Misunderstanding be-
tween the engineers and the company. The
agreement was explained and both sides
were willing to abide by il. There has been
some slight misconception OF the terms of
the agreement by lesser officials of the COM
pany, which has caused dissatisfaction
among the engineers. The company will
attend TO this matter also.
SETTLED WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.
There was no difficulty in coming TO an
understanding, and the meeting was very
pleasant one.n
Supt Starr said that everything had
been satisfactorily arranged, aud he antici-
pated no further trouble. He said that the
grievances made by the engineers had
never been brought TO the attention Of the
general officers Of the company, who would
nave promptly given them due consldera-
ton. No question Of difference, Supt Starr
said, had been left unadjusted.
The case Of Engineer Thomas Cleary,
who was seriously injured in the
accident at Tennille several weeks ago,
which he claimed could not be prevented,
and who has since been dismissed from the
compaay's service, was one of the chief
causes Of dissatisfaction upon the part of
the engineers. Engineer Clearys case will
be examined into and passed upon by the
officers Of the company.
Chief Arthur left for his home in Cleve-
land, o., last night.

THE WOOL SEASON OPEN.
1t Promises TO be a Good One for
Growers.

/ It Promises to be a Good One for
Growers.
The wool season Of 1891 will open up this
month and shearing is under good way.
There has been considerable speculation
in the country as 20 what price wool would
open at. Prime Georgia wool. free Of sand
aud burrs, will bring 24e per pound in
this market As yet there have been
no offerings of the new clip ia this market,
but considerable activity is expected by the
middle Of the month. The price is fully
ldlLc. higher than the opening Of the
previous season, which augurs we'll for the
producer. Last season was a good season
for Georgia producers and they got good
prices IN the market through
out, notwithstanding the agitation
caused by the Mckinley bill and
the talk of free wool The money panic
last fall, however. rather unsettled values
after the passage Of the tariff bill. and deal
ers were lucky to come out whole on their
purchases.
There is one thing which it would be well
for producers to look after in packing their
woods this season for market, and that is the
question OF tares. Last season this was
to cause Of considerable complaint On &C
count Of the superhuity OF covering and iron
ties, which added to the weight of the bales.
This season dealers propose to maintain q
regular tare on square bales covered with
gunny bagging of yards and iron ties Of
p pounds, and Of sea island 6 yards and 6
iron ties OF 20 pounds; on round bales of
gunny bagglng yards no ties Of IL pounds,
and sea island 5 yards no ties of 10 pounds;
and compressed sea island yards no ties
OF IL pounds, and in all cases where greater
number OF yards of bagging are used or the
package is not in mercaantable or shipping
order, the actual tare will be deducted.
The wool markets north are at present
quiet. but there is no doubt that the mills
are IN need of woods, and good sales can be
made later on, provided that too fancy
prices are not demanded.
