RAIL AND CRossTrR.

Fernandina, Fla, is delighted with The
prospect or the establishment of car wheel
factory and marine railway there
The report OF the March earnings of rail-
roads in South Carolina show a total of
S216. ITO II passenger earnings and $685.
96l o5 freight earnings. The Charleston
and Savannah earnings showed an increase
over March a years.ago of 81 per cent, or
$l3,956.
The grading into Montgomery, Ala, of
the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
railroad is completed and treck-laying has
commenced all along the line unfinished.
There are about eight miles between Mount
Meigs and Montgomery and ten miles from
Hurtsbero to cover with rails yet.
The latest invention to attract the atten-
ton and approval of railroad men is the
cushion car wheel, which is said to possess
many advantages in the way of simplicity,
safety and economy, while at the same time
being almost noiseless. The wheel is COM
posed OF two parts, the center aud the tire,
while between tie two is thick rubber
band which acts as cushion to absorb all
the vibrations. By peculiar construction
the tire is made 80 that it may be removed
without taking the wheel from the axle.
The rubber Is 80 interposed between the
center and the tire as not to be liable to in
jury from a hot box or from the corrosive
action of the lubricants A test recently
made with these wheels showed that after a
service of of over 90, 900 miles the rubber
had not deteriorated, while the tire showed a
wear of about thirty-second of an inch,
which is said to be less than one-half the
usual wear for this distance

NO SITE SELECTED YET.
AN n.y. ATIoNTHAT THE GUARDS
'AY BE CHOSEN.

The Pu0.- Building Commission
Spends the Day Listening TO Argu-
msnts q Favor Of the Various Sites
offered the Government-The Matter
to be Settled To-day-rhe supveris-
ing a rchitect Would Like One of the
Squares If it Gould be Fad
The public building commission spent
yesterday listening 20 the arguments In
favor of the various sites for the new court
called upon the commission were Capt.
Henry Blum, John Lyons. H. ID. Conner, r.
D. Guerard, J. r. Saussy and James 4.
Sheldon.
Supervising Architect Edbrooke and the
other members of the commission listened
attentively to everything but gave no inti-
nation whether they had q preference.
The members changed their minds about
inspecting the sites yesterday. They took
look at the places offered the day before
and did not go over the ground again.
The commission will remain in the city
to-day to listen to any further arguments
from citizens. Col. Garrard win arrive
this morning from Camp Chickamauga,
and will have a conference with the COM
mission some time during the day, relative
to the Guards property.
TO SETTLE THE MATTER TO-DAY.
The commission will probably make up
its report and recommendations and will
forward them to the Secretary of the
Treasury.
Supervising Architect Edbrooke was asked
by a MORNING NEWS reporter what be
thought of locating the new building in the
neighborhood of the present postotice-
1.-THE majority OF the people, | think, y
said he, ''favor such location"
sis the Guards property wide enough for
the governments purposesT he was asked.
Yes; it is sixty-eight feet wide. That is
up TO requirements.
While Mr.. Edbrookeswas non-committal
he showed lively interest in talking over
the Guard site. It might be inferred from
his manner that the commission Is favor
that as Bull street is considered the back
bone of Savannah it is a desirable street for
public building.
If the commission could secure an eligible
square from the city the other sites would
hardly be considered. Mr.. Edbrooke as
much as said 80. He said he had conferred
with some of the city officials
but met with little encouragement. The
aldermen, he thinks. are afraid of setting
precedent which might be used later. on to
secure squares for other public buildings.
WOULD LIKE A SQUARE.
Zone of the squares would be just the
place tor the building" said the supervising
architect. "a handsome structure
could be erected aud there would be plenty
Of room all around, keeping it clear of other
buildings. If the city wanted to give the
government square the legislature would
not have to be appealed to l understand
that an act was passed some years ago
giving any city the right to donate public
property for government Improvement"
AS the commission will make Its re
port tonight and council doesn't meet again
for two weeks the square site is out of ques,
ton entirely.

FLAMES AMONG CIGARS.
A Lively Blazs in Truchslut 81 Lebey's
Place.

A Lively Blazs in rruchelut 81 Lebey's
Place.
Fire broke out in Truchelur & Lsbey's
tobacco and cigar store, at Bull and Bryan
streets. at 11:20 o'clock last night. An
alarm was given, and Policeman Belfort
ran over from his beat on Congress street to
Bay and Drayton streets and turned in the
alarm TO the department from box Z.
The department responded promptly, but
the chemical only was used as the fire was
easily reached and soon extinguished, not,
however, before the counters were pretty
well eharred and the ceiling scorohed. The
fire caused considerable smoke, which filled
the offices overhead and adjoining.
The stock. consisting of cigars and to-
baccoand meerschaum pipes. was valua-
BILE on :, and was badly damaged both by
fire and smoke. A good deal Of the tobacco
was steamed.
The store fixtures were insured in Row
land Sc Myers agency for $500,
and also in Pepper & Harty's for
81 900. The estimated damage to the stock
is about 80 per cent. The building be-
longed to the Owens estate, Geo. w.
Owens, agent, and is fully insured. 1t is
however, very little damaged. The fire was
one of mishaps TO the firemen. Chief Puder
received bad cut in the heshy part of the
left arm from flying glass, and fireman Pat
O'Neil, operator Of the chemical. had the
first joint of his left index finger nearly cut
of Fireman Buckley fell through
one of the windows on the Bull street side,
and had his neck blistered and hair on the
back OF his head burned off.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
place was closed about an hour before the
fire broke out. Mr.. Lebey. who was in
camp at Chickamauga, returned home with
the regiment yesterday. The fire caused
considerable excitement among the guests
at the Pulaski house, owing to its proximity
to the hotel.
