VIM. Powolls Loses Ills House Out By
the Base BAH Park.

the Base Ball Park.
a four-room frame house al the south
eastern corner of the base ball park and
a small one-room house adjoining, occu-
pied by the owner. William Powells, col
ored, were burned to the ground between
y and ! O'Clock this morning. About $50
feet Of the plank fence was burned and
torn down together, by the fremen in
preventing the spread of the fire.
Powells and his family were asleep in
his house, when they were awakened by
the blaze in the small house adjoining.
They Immediately ran out and gave the
alarm. With the help Of their neighbors
they removed all their possessions except
SIS in money, which Powers had hidden
away in the house and which he forgot
all about until it was too late to save it..
As all except - Of the money was in
paper, the other s. being in silver, it is a
complete loss.
Powells had no insurance on his house,
which he said cost him about $3.50. He
is switchman il the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway yard
The firemen had a long, hard run and
when they arrived the houses were COM
pletely enveloped in flames. Seeing that
it was useless to attempt TO save the
houses, Assistant Chief Mouro set the
men TO knocking down an outside 'grand
stand" which had been erected during
the base ball season for the use Of those
who preferred TO see the games at some
distance to paying the entrance fee.
This was done to prevent the fire com
mGnicating TO other houses near by which
were connected by the stand with
Powells house The park fence was in
a blaze also and 1t was necessary to knock
down portion of it on each side the
fire
Assistant Chief Mouro showed good
Judgment in not putting out the hose I'M
necessarily, as it would have been neces-
sary to put out several hundred feet of
hose and in case of fire elsewhere in the
city there would have been considerable
delay in gathering it up.

LIKED IT TOO WELL.

a Negro Arrested for Larceny After
Trust for Failing to Return a Bor-
rowed Watch.
At the instigation of Mamie Wheeler,
colored, who stays at 53 Houston street,
Johnson Singleton was lodged in the bar
racks last night subject to warrant on
the charge of larceny after strust. Some
time ago Singleton borrowed Nantes
gold watch, and has been
sporting with the golden chronometer
ever since. Mamie did not intend giving
the watch to Singleton. so she asked him
to return it. Singleton promised 10 do
so, but never kept his promise The re-
quest was repeat ed time and again, and
finally wearying of her efforts to get her
watch back by entrsaties the Wheeler
woman told Singleton that if he did not
return the watch she would have him ar
rested.
Singleton snapped his fingers in her
face and told her to do her worst. The
woman did. Hence the arrest; hence the
trial that awaits the negro who is too
fond Of keeping other peoples time
pieces.

THE OUTLOOK FOR FISH.

Mr.. Sullivan Says the Season
Will be Prosperous if Quarantine
Don't Interfere.
The prospects for good season among
the fish dealers so far appear bright, and
extensive preparations are being made at
Punta Gorda Fla, the famous fishing
port, for large shipments of the finny
tribe.
The fish train will be put on Friday,
August %. Fishermen from the Tarheel
state are fiocking to the banks of the
river at Punta Gorda, and Savannah also
has large representation there. There
are about $50 men at Punta GOrda in the
employ of Savannah firms.
Mr.. M. M. Sullivan, the fish and oyster
merchant on Bryan street, said yester-
day, when asked about the outlook for
the fishing season, that everything pre-
sents bright appearance, and If the
quarantine regulations, as a result of yell
low fever, do not conflict, there will be
quite harvest for the fish dealers as
well as for those who enjoy well-cooked
fish.
Mr.. Sullivan's son, J. J. Sullivan, has
about seventy-tive men in his employ as
fishermen ut Punta Gorda, and he will
see that this end of the line is well taken
care of.
The fish being caught just now are of
the Mullet variety They weigh from
two to three pounds, running pretty regu-
lar in size MIR. Sullivan estimates that
there are at least 10000 mullet per day
hauled in at Punta GOrda These figures
will astonish the uninitiated, but it is
nevertheless fact The run of the null
let continues until about Jan. 1, when they
go out to deep water to breed After
Jan. l, the fish caught are generally
sheephead pompano and Spanish mack
eral
that come to this market, and it is earn
estly hoped that the yellow fever quaran-
tine Will not interfere with the shipping
of them here as well as to other points.

A Little Girl Strolls to the River and
Causes Her Parents Much Anxiety.
Little Alice Wyche, who lives at 1867
Charlton street, caused her parents much
axiety for some time yesterday.

playing around the house yesterday morn
ing, young colored boy who was reared

down by the river" The two went of
together towards the river They STAYED
beside the flowing water until the after
noon, watching the sights thera bouts.
They at last decided to wend their way
homeward, and tired and hungry indeed
was the little girl when she saw her
mother again Mrs. Wyche was greatly
disturbed over the disappearance of her
little one and reioiCed when she saw her

SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HIP.
A Pistol on Being Returned to the
Back Pocket Goes Of.


A very peculiar accident happened to
]. II. NJ. White last night.
He was showing a revolver to some
friends at his saloon at jackson and
Randolph streets, and after the weapon
was examined it was returned to its
owner
Mr., White placed the pistol in his hip
pocket, and just as he did so it discharged,
the ball taking effect in the hip and
ranging downward. Fortunately, how
ever, the bullet did not strike the bone,
and only cut through the flesh. The only
way to account for the accident is that
the pistol was cooked when Mr.. White
attempted to put it into his pocket, and
the trigger must have caught in some
way and snapped upon the cartridge DR..
Read was sent for. and extracted the
bullet. He was resting easy this morn
ing, and nothing serious is feared.

Capt. Carter Went Down Yesterday to
Inspect the Undine.

Capt. o. NJ. Carter, United States en-

inspect the work done on the sunken
Austrian bark Undine for the purpose of
deciding whether the contract had been
pryperly complied with.
He remained down the river all day.
and did not return until a late hour last
night. 1t is thought that he viii not ac-
cept the work as 1t stands now, but will
order that the bark be further removed
from the channel, or he may order that
she be foated and brought up to the same
dock in the city.
The bark now lies about 70 yards south
Of the black buoy opposite Venus Point,
and is practically out of the channel
proper.

sinking in the river at the foot of Drav-

The water was soon pumped out, and
the Juno found to be all right. She left
