RIVER AND HARBOR.

The pilot boat John d. Long of Whining
ton, N. c., which arrived here Sunday from
Fernandina, has been lying in the river at
anchor awaiting purchaser. The owners
of the pilot boat Belle have been negotiating
with the Wilmington boat for e trade of
the two boats with cash consideration with
the Belle, but the trade has fallen through.
The Long Is a large boat and was
formerly an old fisherman. Will
mington's pilots, like Savannah's. have
formed a combination, and they have too
many boats for the service, and for this
reason they desire to sell the Longe. The
Belle is too small for the service off this
harbor. Ii is the desire to replace her in
the service by larger and more serviceable
boat. The Savannah pilotage has also too
many boats and has some for sale.
The steamer Progress has been sold to the
Indian River Steamboat Company and will
leave for Florida tomorrow. The purchase
was negotiated by Capt. w. B. Watson and
Chief Engineer Fitzgerald of the Indian
River company. WHO have been In the city

TWO MORE COMPANIES ACCEPT.

The Greens and Oglethorpss Decide
to Go to augusta.
The Irish Jasper Greens held meeting at
the Regimental armory last night to decide
upon the invitation to attend the Augusta
exposition on Military day. Sixteen Of the
members present agreed to go.
A resolution was passed that If thirty or
more members will agree to go the COM
pany will accept the invitation, otherwise
not. A meeting will be held next Thurs
day, at which the question will be finally
decided. There is no doubt that more than
the number called for by the resolution will
agree to go.
The Ogletbrope Light Infantry also ac-
copied the invitation. The Cadets are the
only company OF the regiment which has
not acted, but the corps will more than
likely accept the invitation.
Ftlt is said that some Of the employers Of
military men are Directing to their going,
but as the time occupied in the trip will
consume but one day they should try and
inconvenience themselves a little in order
20 give Savannah its proper military rep
resentation at the exposition. The business
men will be urged to encourage the military
by all possible means, because IL is a pro-
lection to the community at large.

WHO WANTS TO BE ALDERMANq

The Successor of Alderman Meldrin
to be Elected Next w ednesday.
Next Wednesday night 1t Is expected the
city council will elect q successor to ex-
Alderman Meldrim.
Whether Alderman McGuire's scheme TO
draw the name OF the new alderman out O.
a hat, or Alderman O'Brien's committee
plan, viii be adopted is not yet known.
Alderman Mcclure wants to give all the
candidates, whoever they may be. a fair
show, and if the name OF each be placed in
a hat and given an equel shake the one
which comes out cannot be said to have had
any greater show of fayoritsm than the
others.
Walter g. Charlton, ESQ.,, it is said, will
most likely be the man, although the names
OF some prominent business men are men
toned IN connection with the office. Some
people think that the proper thing for the
board to do would be to select the defeated
candidate on the aldermanic ticket at the
last election who came nearest to getting
the persimmon. If this course should be
adopted DR.. Falligant would be the man.
His record in the last council is well known
to the citizens and needs no comment

had been in bed only about an hour and
half when Town Marshal Harmon awoke
him and told him that his stables were
affre. When Mr. Enright looked out the
window the stable where his two horses
were was a mass OF flames.
The alarm was given and the male inhab-
ftants OF the town turned out and formed
bucket brigade. The stables were built
against the barroom AMI it was impossible
TO save that building or any Of its contents.
The one-story house which was occupied
by Marshal Harmon and was owned by
Henry Amboe, was separated from the bar
room only by small passage way, and al
though the bucket brigade worked hard to
save it their labor was without result, as
the heat Of the fire dried the boards almost
as the water was thrown upon them.
Seeing that it was impossible TO save the
town marshal's house the brigade turned its
attention to Mr.. Enright's two-story resi-
dence across the road from the burning
buildings At first it looked as if the house
was doomed, but the efforts of the fire
fighters and shift in the wind saved it.
The house was sfire several times. The end
is badly scorched, and the resin was drawn
from the Misunderstanding in flakes. MI
Enright removed all his furniture aud sus-
tanned considerable loss by breakage. He
had no insurance. and the loss falls heavily
upon him in consequence. He regrets
the loss Of his horses above every
thing else, because both were
fast and valuable animals. Three wagons
and buggy were also burned. He places
his loss at 81 500
The buildings belonged to Mrs. Monahan.
There was no insurance on them. Mr.. Am
hos had his house partly insured in one OF
W heatoD & Sons agencies. Town Marshal
Harmon saved all Of his household effects.
An effort will be made TO ferret out the
party or parties who started the fire. M
Enright said il must have been started
from the outside of the stable, as there wa:
no way by which a person could get in
side.
1t was lucky that the wind changed, fol

Insurance Men Not to Take Action

Insurance Men Not to Take Action
Yet on the Whitfield Law.
The news that Gov. Northen had signed
the Whitfield bill was not very pleasant in
formation to the insurance meu yesterday,
They had been in hopes that from what
they consider the plainly negotiable and I'M
necessary character of the ball that the
governor would veto it.
Several Insurance men were ssen vester-
day by MORNING News reporter, but
were not inclined to talk very much, They
said they did not think the agents would
make any movement in the matter at ell
but would await whatever action the COM
panies may take in the matter. 1t is diff
cult to see, they say, how any company be-
longing Co the Southeastern Tariff Associa-
ii IN can, under the new law. do business In
this state.
Ii oil companies members Of the tariff
association should Withdraw from the state
things would be in a very bad way in the
insurance lire. With the immense amounts
OF cotton now in Savannah it is all the iu-
surance companies now doing business here
can do TO cover it, and if dozen of the
leadng companies were to withdraw BUSH
ness men would find it hard ma ter to OBJ
tain insurance upon their stocks.
The insurance men say they do not think
there will be any out in rates as a result of
the law. The insurance companies have
not made any money in Georgia, they say,
for the last several years. and in fact have
lost very heavily on Savannah.
