The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-10-22

! Wednesday z. I.eybourne Of Gainesville
| shipped two carloads Of oranges to northern
points via the Savannah, Florida and
| Western. This is the largest shipment Of
the season from that section.
Most Of the Spanish moss shipped from
Gainesville goes to Chicago. II is said that
the demand is now much greater than the
supply The moss business IN that region
is rapidly developing into a great industry,
and yet is but in its infancy. With more
machinery and greater number of en-
ployes the traffic i'll moss would soon be
made TO grow into large proportions.
Last Thursday morning T. j. Roberts
gin house near Tallahassee was discovered
10 be on fire and in few minutes it was
burned to the ground. The fire was Of an
incendiary origin. At the time it was
burned IL contained about 1000 bushels
of cotton. seed and sixteen bales of cotton,
besides the machinery. Everything was q
complete loss. Mr.. Roberts estimates his
loss at So 500. There was no insurance on
the property.
st. Augustine NelUs: With Mr.. McGuire
a representative Of the NeiUS inspected the
new WarinR automatic flush tanks, that
have just been put in for the Ponce de
Leon, CordOva and Alcazar hotels These
tanks are set TO fill and flush every two
hours, when they send O solid column OF
water 100 feet long 4 800 gallons) rushing
the whole length Of the sewer to the sea.
These tanks are like great Cisterns, filled by
pipe from the arteslan wells. In the
center of the cistern is q stand pipe con-
tanning the patent automatic siphon
arrangement that, on the instant the
water rises to a certain point the
siphon acts, and in two minutes emp
ties the whole l 800 gallons. In addition to
the discharge pipe there is 6-inch air pipe
TO let the fresh air follow the column of
water through, thus rendering an accumu-
lation Of sewer gas an imposstbility. 1t has
been demonstrated conclusively by scien-
tiic men that flushing tank at stated in
terVals is by far the best method of keeping
them pure. and the Warning system is I'M
doubleday the best in use. In addition TO
the flush tanks the same principle has been
applied to kitchen use, and everything that
could possibly become offensive, is lmme-
diately sent by flush tanks to the sewer and
so along to salt water.
Gainesville Leader: There was an CO.
curence in Gainesville few days ago that
most aptly illustrates the difficulties in dis
eliminating in the bestowAl of charity. A
well known lawyer received alpressnt from
Texas In the shape of magnificent blooded
puppy. His wife at once became an ad
mirer of the dog and bestowed on it every
care necessary to its comfort. The lady is
one of those noble-hearted women, whose
heart Is touched by even the fRintest call
for assistance, and whose soul goes out to
the unfortunates and the miserable. Not
many days ago puuy looking woman
entered her gate, carrying small
pail Of withered vegetables In
broken accents she told how
she wanted to sell all the vegetables and
procure a sick woman medicine. The law
yer's wife could not withstand the appeal,
and, though desiring no vegetables, she
tished out a small sum of money and gave
1t to the woman. She also found some of
her husbands clothing to be the worse for
wear and bestowed several pieces of apparel
on the poor woman The poor woman was
thankful and the lawyers wife entered the
house; glad Of her ability to do a good act.
The woman returned and asked for
a piece Of bread. saying that she
was faint with hunger. The favor
was had for the asking and once more the
| good lady returned to her room, pity
ing the unfortunate. AS soon as the kind
hearted lady's back was turned the woman
beckoned TO the fine young dog with the
bread. The dogs cupidity was aroused aud
thus she ''tolledn him TO her home. Search
was made for the missing brute When the
lady's husband heard of the dolngs Of the
dog he at once came to the conclusion that
the "poor unfortunately had made awav
with his dogship. Straightway going TO
her house he found the missing canine, but
before returning he warned the woman to
make herself scarce around his hailiwlick.
