Work has begun on the Tidewater OIL
Company's new building on the site Of the
one recently burned on Bay street. near the
foot Of Houston. The new building will
have frontage OF 40 feet and depth of
53 feet. and when completed 1t will be one
OF the most substantial buildings in the city.
it will be four stories high on River street
and two stories above Factors walk.
The building will be of the siow-burning
construction on the Woodbury. plan, which
has been adopted by the New England
Mutual Fire Association. Every precau-
ton will be taken against fire.
Each of the four floors OF the building
will consist. first, of 4-inch solid pine tim
bers, mortised together; second, an inch of
cement, and third, an inch pine plank.
There will be three fire walls
dividing the building into sections.
These walls will project four feet above
the roof The four fire proof compartments
on each floor will have double sets of doors,
one set for general use and the other a set
OF fire proof doors with automatic action, so
that in case Of fire the heat will melt
piece of metal holding the doors in position,
which will allow them TO close of their
own accord. The roof will be covered with
asbestos.
The outside walls will be twenty inches
thick at the bottom and sixteen inches at
the top. The rafters will be set into she
walls and held by iron plates
A carbonic acid gas chamber will be
built outside the building, with connections
with every compartment in the building, SO
that in case of fire the gas can be turned on
in q few minutes and the fire easily extin-
guished.
The building will be a handsome as we'll
as substantial structure. The front Will be
of pressed brick. An S-foot iron balcony
will be placed along the Bay street side,
while a 6-foot balcony will be placed on the
River street side of the building.
Mr.. A. f. Buell.. superintendent OF build
ings of the Tidewater Oil Company, is here
and will have charge of the work. The en-
glneer's estimate of the cost of the building
is $2l, 900, and the building complete with
office fixtures will cost about SOS, 900.

VALENTINES MAKE MERRY.

The Mails Loaded With Sentiment
and Caricature.
st. Valentines day coming on Sunday
this year caused the celebration to take
place day in advance. The mail carriers
had their burdens increased greatly yester.
day by the love-sick youths and maidens
who took advantage OF the old-time custom
to express their tender feelings for each
other in printed verse.
Others who felt like playing jokes on
friends or had old scores to settle with en-
emies, hunted up funny or disagreeable
caricatures and forwarded them through
the mail
The small boys had considerable
fun In different parts of the
city last night. They generally
know all the peculiarities of their neigh
bors and lay in a stock of appropriate and
at the same time most ridiculous caricatures
to shove under their doors st. Valentines
night. Door bells were pulled in lively
manner, and when the occupants opened
the door and peered out for the offender he
was generally at a safe distance enjoying
himself at the fact of having sent a valen-
tine.
1t is not exactly clear why there should
be any celebrating of Feb. IA. All his
torians agree that st. Valentine existed.
but why he should be remembered in such
an extraordinary manner for SO many
generations is another matter. According
to some writer's he was a bishop, TO others,
presbyter who was beheaded at
Rome during the reign of Emperor
Claudius, 270 A. D., and early canonized.
Bishop or presbyter, Valentine was oaid to
have been famous in his day for love and
charity, and that the custom of sending
valentines took it's rise thence. Some more
poetical writer's derive the custom from the
habits of birds. it being supposed chat they
select their mates on Feb. IA.
There are still others who pin their faith
on the idea that the custom grew out of
one prevalent in ancient Rome during the
feast of the Lupercalia. This is said to have
come in February.
Among other ceremonies of the festival
was one through which, by mere chance,
men and women were made one. TPeir
names were written on slips Of paper and
placed in an urn. Then the persons, blind
folded drew themselves mates

Work That Has Been Done and Re-
mains to Be Done.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens Sani-
tary Association, in his report Of inspections
for the week ending last night, says that
the market was abundantly supplied dur
ing the entire week with food produce of all
kinds of excellent quality and in good con-
dition.
In reference to drainage around the city
the inspector says the dry culture Depart
ment of the city has been doing much
needed work in cleaning out Musgrove
creek canal and opening bitches through
the Minis lands south OF the city; also in
the vicinity of Eastville.
The city is putting down 12x12 wooden
sewer along the side of Price street, extend
ing it southwark from Anderson street
about 700 feet, which will effect very de-
sirable results to the drainage of that
vicinity. Also that the Chatham Real Es-
tate and Improvement Company has laid
about 400 feet of similar sewer through its
property south OF Anderson street. between
Price street and the right OF way of the Sa-
vannah, Florida aud Western railway.
which will result in sanitary benefit not
alone to The property OF the company but OF
the adjacent properties.
The borrow pits of all the railroads in the
vicinity Of the city. the inspector reports,
are in a perpicious condition and should
not he allowed to remain SO until the hot
season sets in, as there are populous settle
ments all along these roads for several miles
out of the city, the inhabitants OF which
will suffer grievously from malarial atfec-
tions il these pits are not cleaned before

A SMALL BOYS CLUB.

They Smoke Cigarettes and Play
Cards Like Their Examples.
The small boys initiate the men. half
dozen of them. ranging from to 10 years
of age, have formed club and built
club house. The club house is made OF old
timber "cribbed" from the first site selected
for the government building. It is net a
rretentious affair, nor is it very comfort
able. but the clubmen manage to get along
with it and get good deal Of what they
think is enjoyment within it's walls.
The initiation fee is cents and
the amount of the annual dues Is
somewhat smaller. The sum thus OBJ
tanned is not princely. but II meets
current expenses. There is no probability
tGat the treasurer will be tempted to run
away or be unable TO sleep because Of the
amount of cash in his possession.
The variety OF enjoyment in the club
house ia not great. 1t is limited to cigarette
smoking aud playing casino. 1t would be
advisable for these young clubmen TO hire
Waterman. If their parents should dis
cover their retreat, and come upon them
unawares. some Of them might not be able

Rev. Jared Y. Shannon.

On Monday afternoon the remains
of Rev. Jared Y. Shannon were
brought here from Newport, Pa, and
buried in Rosemont Cemetery. Last
week Thursday morning he was cross
ing street in company with friend
as team was coming. He stopped
to permit the team to pass, and stepp-
ed back just as horse ridden by a
boy named George Hombach came
dashing along. The horse ran against
Mr.. Shannon, throwing him about
twenty feet, and injuring him SO badly
about the head that he died in a few
hours He was pastor Of the New
port NJ. E. Church and one of the
most popular members Of the Central
Pennsylvania Conference. He was a
son of the late Jesse Shannon, and re-
sided for many years in Bloomsbury.
His widow survives, also three
brothers; Samuel, who is minister OF
the NJ. +. Church, Joseph, who re-
sides in Danville, and John.
A committee from Newport Lodge,
I. o. O. f. and many friends accom-
panied the remains. The members OF
Blooms5urg Lodge attended the fun,
eral in a body.

SCHOOL BOARD.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
School Board was held in public library
Tuesday evening, with all members
present except Mr.. Brown. The teach
ers and janitors were present to receive
their months salaries. The principals
report was read, showing an attendance
Of 7S7, an increase of I8 over the past
month. The report shows that the
monthly Institutes were well attended 4
and much good derived. Prof. Butts
Of the Normal has given half hours
instructions each day in muse, this is
especially beneficial to those who con-
template entering the Senior class this
year at the Normal School; the class
is very much pleased with the instruc
tons. Several of the Board reported
their observations in the school rooms
during their recent visits.
A number of bills were presented
and orders drawn in payment. The
course Of study is being carried out by
most Of the teachers; there are some
who are inclined to advance the pupils
faster than the course prescribes. 1t
was the general opinion of members OF
the board that the schools are making
progress and that more patrons are
visiting them; every citizen should take
enough interest to visit the schools.
