The story comes from Albany of Savan-

having been refused the privilege of visit
ing her at her home, arranged an elopement

Everything Yves planned all right, but
there was serious hitch. The young man

and they agreed TO fly. He hired horse
and 'uggy. and after having secured mar
riage license the couple started for minis
ter whom the young lady had arranged TO
have In readiness outside OF town. They
had not got out of the city before they we're
seen by the young lady's father. who started
in pur suit. He overlook the couple on the
read. and refining up his horse he said TO his
daughter: You know that have forbid
den you to associate With thst young man
or to receive any Of his attentions. Since
you have willfully disoheyed me l do not
feel that am subjecting you TO any undue
embarrassment In demanding that you get

TYBE-s TELEPHONE LINE.

The Company Having a Hard Time
Getting a Site for an Observatory.
IL appears as if Savannah business men
will continue TO be deprived Of telephone
information from Tybee throughout the
whole of the season. Supt. Polk
of the Savannah Telephone Ex-
change saws he has little
hope that tower will be erected or other
arrangements made for lookout station at
Tybee before December, if then. Supr.
Essterlin of this district, in company with
Supt. Polk and others, explored Tybee
some time ago for suitable point to erect
tower. They have been refused the use
of the lighthouse or Martello tower and the
privilege Of erecting a tower on the gov
eminent property on the island by the gov
eminent authorities.
The only location found where a tower
could be located 10 advantage was about
where it would require a tower sixty to
seventy feet high. A larger telescope than
the one in use at present would also be re-
CURED. The telephone company does not
care to go TO the expense Of erecting a
tower of this character. 1t will probably
wait until congress meets in December,
when an effort will be made to secure
permission TO erect tower on the govern
ment property, which is much better
located for an observation station, and
where smaller tower could be erected at a
less cost than one further back, that would
be just as we'll suited to the purposes of the
telephone company.

TO WARN OF GOLD WAVES.
The New "Cld Probs'" OFFER to the
Farming Sections

Farming Sections
The weather bureau is preparing for the
better distribution OF cold wave and frost
warnings in sections in the country where
the vegetable and other crops are most in
need Of that branch of the weather service.
The c1ld wave warnings will be furnished
TO communities which will display the
signals.
Tee chief Of the weather bureau has
issued circular to agricultural sections in
which he says the bureau is DESTROYS OF ex-
tsndiog the usefulness OF the service in
giving a wider dissemination to the cold
wave and frost warnings in the agricultural
aud commercial interests OF the country 50
that all interests liable to be affected cy
cold weather or rapid falls in temperature
may be able TO take the necessary pre-
cautions by being informed of the coming Of
cold waves or the occurrence of frost.
The display of q cold wave flag white flag
with black square in CENTER Indicates that
there will be sudden aud decided fall in
temperature, amounting to l6' or more
depending on locality; greater falls beiug
required TO justify display In the western
and northwestern states and territories than
in the Atlantis and Gulf states. The fall
should occur within twenty-four or thirty
six hours. The display OF the flag during
the growing season indicates that injury to
vegetation NAV be expected from frost, and
at other times that the cold may prove in
furious to stock, and TO farm products, ETC.,
exposed In shipment.
The warnings will usually be issued for
period Of twenty-four hours in advance OF
the anticipated cold wave or frost. Pro-
nounced cold waves may at times be fore
told forty-eight hours in advance.
The cold wave flag will be lowered at the
expiration Of the time mentioned in the
order TO hoist, unless a second warning is
resolved
The flag should be ct least six feet square
il displayed from sta fl or building thirty
five to fifty feet high, and for taller staff
or building larger flag should be used.
In the state of Florida, and in a strip OF
country 100 miles wide on the upper Gulf
coast and along the Pacific coast, the cold
wave warnings will be replaced by frost
warnings, and the cold wave flag will be
known as the frost warning flag. During
the late soring and early fall tbs cold wave
| flag is also used as frost warning flag in
other portions of the country to indicate
! anticipated frosts.
There beiag but a limited appropriation
at the disposition of the chief of the
| weather bureau for the purchase of flags,
in macy instances individuals, or firms,
receiving the forecasts at government ex-
pense, manufacture or procure their own
flags for such displays.

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
Aug. Meyers Soda Water FACTORY
and Five Small Dwellings Burned.

Aug. Meyers Soda Water FACTORY
and Five Small Dwellings Burned.
Aug. Meyers soda water factory and hve
small dwellings on Duffy street lane aud
Duffy. between West Broad and Bur
roughs streets, burned down this
morning after l o'clock. The loss is
nearly $4,000, fully covered by
insurance in J. F. Wheaton ~ sons agen-
cies. The soda water factory was dlscov-
cred in flames by Meyer aud his neigh
bors about o'clock, who screamed "fre!"
with all their might The neighborhood
WIS aroused, and an alarm was sent In from
box Is, at Montgomery and Duffy streets.
Engines Nos. 8 and 4 responded promptly.
and made the run iu quick time.
| When the ffremen arrived the factory
was mass of flames and FIVE small frame
dwellings adjoining were also in flames.
Chief Prder at oncs turned in a second
alarm and engines Nos L and responded,
arriving in about 10 minutes. The water
pressure in the southern part of the city
was SO low that the firemen
were some time ia getting on "a stream, aud
when they did get the water on the force
was so small es to make it al
most useless. The chemical in the
meanwhile did good work in saving
DR.. B. F. Sheftalps house on the opposite
side of the lane, which had caught fire in
the rear.
AL the buildings were frame, and made
very fierce blaze. By the time the fire de-
pertment got TO work all the houses
were filed with flames, which threatened
TO sweep the rest Of the block 70 West
Broad street.
Chief Puder and his men did good work
in stopping the fire where 1t was and had the
fire under control in remarkably short
time
Two houses belonging to Meyer were
burned with the factory.
Notwithstanding the early hour a large
crowd gathered. aud there we're probably
over 1000 people.
Mrs Isler, V. E. St. Cloud and Fred
Harrison occupied three Of the Duffy street
houses, and the other was untenanted. None
of the occupants saved their furniture.
The loss on the factory is placed At So, 600,
which is only partly covered by Insurance.
The loss on the dwellings is between IS, 900
and $1,000.
At one time It looked as if the flames
would communicate to the row of frame
buildings on the north side OF Duffy street,
and they were only saved By soaked blank
cts being spread on the roofs and the front
walls drenched with water. Most of the
occupants of these houses removed their
furniture.
Sanberg's wheelwright and blacksmith
shop, Immediately adjoining the burning
buildings, had a narrow escape. The
Notwithstanding ignited several times, and
it was only by nRrd work that the
fremen saved it. MIR. S4nborg
moved oil his buggies and wagons
out on West Broad street in the early stage
Of the fire, because it looked like his estab-
lishmenr was doomed.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from an explosion of some sort in the soda
water factory, as loud noise was heard
there about five minutes before the flames
were seen issuing from it.
