a Singular FIJI g in the Central Rail-
road Cotton Yard.
Night Yardmaster Rufus Christian Dis
covered smoke issuing from a car loaded
with cotton in the Central railroad yard,
below the freight depot, about $50 o'clock,
last night. He gave the alarm to Officer
Patterson OF the Central railroad police,
who sent in an alarm TO the fire department
from box No. % at the passenger depot
BY the time the firemen reached the
scene Of the fire, which was 200 or 300
yards from the West Broad street gate OF
the railroad yard smoke was issuing from
the car in volumes. and the fire could be
seen at the top and bottom of the car at one
end.
The car was broken open and stream
from the chemical and one stream of water
was turnsd on, extinguishing the blaze In
short order.
Six or eight bales of cotton were badly
scorched, but the damage to the cotton Is
less than 500 and property not over $50
The car is badly burned At one end, but the
damage can be repaired for less than $50.
How the fire originated is. OF course, a
mystery, as it is in most cotton fires 1t was
local cotton which had besn received only
yesterday, and the fire might have been
smoldering from spark dropped from a
pipe in loading at the station from which
IL was shipped, or a spark from one OF the
engines IN the yard might have been blown
through a crack In the car.

The Movement to Build Home for
Thorn.

The Movement to Build Home for
Them.
The Odd Fellows of Savannah are deeply
interested IN the movement to build the Odd
Fellows orphans home. The committee
appointed by the grand body at its
last session, in Columbus, has
prepared and sent to the
members of the order throughout the state,
a circular letter containing the action of
the grand lodge. and with it an appeal for
subscriptions to aid the enterprise.
The selection Of a site for the home is in
the hands of subcommittee composed of
d. b. Woodruff of Macon, J. A. Anderson
Of Atlanta. aud George o. Berry OF Column
bus, which viii receive proposals for the
location of the home aud will report to the
| general committee at its next meeting In
| February, at which time the propositions
| will be considered and personal examlna-
ton OF offerings will be made by the whole
committee of all places that may be consid-
cred as competing. Sites will be offered by
Macon. Columbus, Griffin, Atlanta, Rome,
Canton, Athens. Augusta, and, perhaps,
| other points.
These will be carefully looked into by the
committee, and the most advantageous will
| be selected.
In the meantime the canvass for funds is
going on. Grand Treasurer J. &. Tyson of
this city, who is also treasurer of the home
committee, is making an active effort In
that direction. The committee wants to
raise 10000. 1t has already raised
something over 5000. Mr.. Tyson
has issued circular appeal
which will be placed in the hands of every
Odd Fellow in Georgia, and through this
means he hopes to raise the required
amount
