SHERIFF RAYS NARROW ESCAPE.

Sheriff l.. l.. Ray was in town Sunday
and had narrow escape when the ex-
plosion occurred. He had been doing
good work in the morning, in keeping
people away from the Centre street
bridge, and succeeded in stretching
ropes across the ends of the bridges
Just before the explosion he was talking
with John Reinbold in the front of the
latters barn. Mr.. Reinbold stepped into
the barn. The Sheriff turned to him as
he left and said, "Well, John, you have
escaped rather luckily Then he shook
hands with him and loft The Sheriff
had Jusv ~. ---arnd the corner of Paul-s
building when the big explosion came.
This explosion killed two men who were
standing at the bridge in front of Paul's.
The Sheriff was knocked unconscious.
The first thing he realized was woman
tugging at his arm, crying, "For Gods
sake, save my children" Hardly know
ing what he was doing, he grabbed
one of them and ran around
through the ward until he met a couple
of men. To one of them he gave the
baby, and then went back to help the
mother with the other children. He
then sent to Reno for hose to assist in
putting out the fire. The Sheriff says it
was the closest call he ever had in his
life, and is an experience he does not
care to repeat.

BE CAREFUL OF THE GAS.
Too much care cannot be taken in the
turning on and off of the gas in the
houses. Many people who left their
homes with such suddenness yesterday
left the gas turned on. The supply was
afterward shut off but again turned on,
and people who have not yet returned
should be sure the rooms are free from
gas before they strike a light ]. NJ.
Mccarthy with Amos Steffee went up
this afternoon to the rooms which his
wife and himself had left yesterday.
The rooms were filed with gas,
but the odor of it was detected,
the windows and doors were left open
and no bad result followed Let every
body remember that the gas has been
turned on and let everybody be accord
inglY careful. This is the chief
danger to be guarded against
at present. Let everybody who
has a home or room left from
which they fled yesterday see that the
gas is turned off all right and lot the
greatest precaution be taken in turning
it off and on. Let no one forget this.

AMONG THE REFINERIEs.

The impression seems to prevail that
a number of the relineries up the creek
have been destroyed. Such is not the
case. The Penn Refining Company has
been the principal loser. The company
lost ten refined oil tanks, varying in ca
pacity from 800 10 1000 barrels, each
partially filed; also one agitator, two
steam stills and condensers, cooper shops,
barrel and filling shops. The damage is
estimated at $4,000. The Independent
Refinery sustained a loss of about $25, 600
by the destruction of ten refined oil
tanks. The other refneries, with the
exception Of the Valley, sustained ma
terial damage. The Valley lost a 900
barrel tank.

will not soon forget, for he was the last
man on the Lake Shore track TO get into
the tunnel, and he reached it by running
at a speed which in all probability he
could never attain again. He, like the
others before him, ran into the tunnel
ahead Of the wall of flame, taking with
him the awful thought that the great
billows of fire came from a torrent of oil
which would pour into the tunnel after
them. But the prospect of even a few
minutes more of life was better than to
surrender, and the victorious race was
run.

BENzlNE CAUSED THE FIRE.

d. L. Byles, of the Independent Re-
fining Company, says that a man who
lives right by the keystone Refinery, saw
the tank which contained the benzine
empty itself. 1t was tank with a
capacity of about 10000 barrels, and
was pretty nearly full of benzine. Mr..
Byles also says that there must have
been oil mixed with the benzine, as it
had dark appearance when it came
down on the water. Benzine has a light
appearance, and gas rises easily from it
when exposed to the air. Some of the
Independents men were up at the Con-
tinental when they first noticed the gas
and escaping benzine. The fireman told
them to put out their fires, and then ran
down to the Independent and gave the
same order.

AN ORDINANCE UNNECESSARY.
DR.. Drummer Thinks Physicians Can
Care for Themselves,

DR.. Drummer Thinks Physicians Can
Care for Themselves,
Health Officer Drummer says there is no
necessity for an ordinance in Savannah sim
ilar to the enc recently adopted in Detroit,
requiring physicians and clergymen to ex-
ercise extra precautions while attending
persons afflicted with contagious diseases,
aud compelling uudertakers to wear rubber
clothing while handling bodies Of persons
having died Of such diseases.
There is decided difference" said DIR.
Drummer, between the north and south
about such matters, and what is necessary
ssry in the other. In the south we have so
little of the diseases enumerated in the
ordinance published in the MORNING NEWS
that it is not necessary to have ordinances
for extra precautions to prevent their
diseases all the time and have to adopt
stringent measures to stamp them out.
ut is all nonsense to have an ordinance
ordering physicians to use extra precau-
ton to protect themselves and the public
while attending such cases. Physicians are
generally men of average sense, and when
they are called to attend contagious dis
eases, as a matter of protection to them
selves and their practice, they use every
precaution known to science to
keep from contracting the germs. It is the
same way with the average undertaken. He
Is man OF family, generally, and it Is not
necessary to have an ordinance telling him
that be must be careful in handling the
body not to jeopardize himself or bis

Springfield Only Waiting for Outside
Help to DO Fer Part.
SPRINGFIELD, GA, Oot 1S.-Of the many
places in the state Of Georgia which are
noted for their superb natural beauty and
at the same time are able to meet all the re-
quirements necessary for the building up of
good-sized town. Springfield, in the
center OF Efingham county, seems to be the
most favored Of them all 1t has all these
requisites save one-a railroad.
The citizens, not having the means them
selves OF carrying out the plan, seem to
have grown somewhat indifferent about the
matter; but il a capitalist could be induced
TO undertake the building of a road he
would meet with a ready and liberal res
Spouse from them. Connection could be
made with the South Bound at a point
twelve miles south Of here, giving an air
line to Savannah, distance of TWENTY-FIVE
miles. A ridge from Springfield to the
point referred to above affords route
which would cause the COST per mile to fall
very low. The Investment will pay, be-
cause, in the frat place, this IL the county
site, has public buildings, ETC., which rem
ders it the most important point in the
county. 1t is also the most healthful place,
and has the best water In this part of the
state While other places have been
afflicted with numerous and aggra-
waited cases of fever. the citizens
of Springfield have remained comparatively
free from such Affections. a number of
prominent men In Savannah and elsewhere
have expressed their determination to live
here when we get quick communication
with Savannah. Ii Ia the rendezvous for
the celebration of all holidays, and the an
nusl camp meeting brings big crowd from
Savannah and other points.

BuzzARps STARVING.
The Introduction OF the Crematory
Making Them Desperate.

The Introduction OF the Crematory
Making Them Desperate.
Hungry buzzards are causing good deal
of annoyance to the operatives at the Gre
ratories by their daily and persistent
efforts to carry off the carrion garbage
stuff. Before the crematories were put in
condition to consume the city's garbage the
Ryals plantations were used as a dumping
ground, and these places we're the scenes or
constant buzzard banquets.
Now that the dumping grounds are
abandoned the buzzards have become
hungry and flock to the crematories every
morning at dumping time to see if they can
not pick up something to satiate their appe-
titles. Their hurger and the shutting OF o.
supplies have made the birds bold, and the
men on the platforms have TO night them
of. They sometimes light In the wagons on
their way TO the furnaces aud begiu their
search for food, and after the load Is
dropped they swoop down among the en-
ployes by the dozens and almost fight them
90 get a chance TO search the garbage pile.
The men have to beat them off with their
rakes, but they never relax their efforts I'M
ill all the garbage has been dropped into
the furnace. The birds are making their last
fight for existeoce, and before long VIII
have to seek other places for their stamping
ground. Within a few years 1t would not
be surprising if the sight OF ouZEard
around Savannah would be rarity.

PLEASANT URGED FOR CONGRESS.
A Nomination by the First District Re-
publican Committee.


publican Committee.
The First district republican committee
met at Odd Fellows hall, Duffy street, yes
terdsy pursuant to the call Of Chairman
Pleasant. The roll was called by the secre-
tary, who noted twenty eight present out Of
membership Of thirty-eight.
Pleasant made a conservative speech. 10
was finally moved that it was inexpedient
70 nominate candidate for congress. An
other motion was made TO send out "a COM
mittee or five TO nominate candidate, and
finally substitute for the whole that lit is
expedient to nominate a candidate" After
considerable debate the substitute prevailed
by vote of II to T. The convention was
dead sat against a nomination, but at the
same time was more strongly opposed to the
third party.
The shrewdest of the leaders feared demo-
cratic gold was doing its work, and they
set heads at once to counteract the detection
by making a nomination to hold the repub-
llcans together. In this all factional feel
ing between the Morseites and the Pleasant
ties faded and they worked as one to
remedy the detection. One member, who
was opposed to the nomination said: 81
don't want no nomination nohow. You
know how we got here.n The leaders at
once handled the convention and nomi
mated L. NJ Pleasant by vote of 81 to /,

TIN "NANoY HANKS" LUCK.

Broken Axle Delays the Train
Eighteen Hours. ...
The NANCY Hanks" down train, which
left Atlanta day before yesterday, did not
reach Savannah until nearly O'Clock yes u,
terday, eighteen hours late. She was pre-
coded by few minutes by the night train,
which passed her on the way down, and
which should have arrived at 6 o'clock
In the morning.
The delay was caused by the breaking of
the hind axle of the tender of rhe Nancy
Hanks near Sun Hill. The train was going
at high rate Of speed and ran 200 yards
before it could be stopped. In that 200
yards there was trestle thirty yards long,
which the train passed without accident,
the tender not jumping the track as it
might have done. The passengers were de-
lsyed on the road all night and until noon
yesterday.
1t was necessary 20 send up freight en-
CINE to pull the train in. 1t was a tired and
disguised lot OF passengers that the Nancy
Hanks brought in.
