PROTECTED AGAINST FIRE.

8. Guokenheimer & Sons House Fitted
WITH an Automatic Bxtinguisher.
A large party of insurance men were, yes
terday afternoon, given an exhibition of
the workings of the Hill fire extinguisher =,
with which the establishment of s. Guck-
enhsimer 81 Sons has been fitted up.
The system consists OF small water pipes
running the full length Of each floor against
the ceiling, attached to large center main
containing altogether, TO sprinklers. Each
sprinkler is capped with brass held in
place by little solder, which will melt at
1909 OF heat, releasing the cap and sending
around the water in circle forty feet.
This makes the burning OF a building
equipped with the system almost an i'm,
possibility, as the volume of water cent out
by the sprinklers will extinguish any i'll
cipient fire and hold large one in check
until the arrival OF the firemen. A neat
contrivance connected with it is a large fire
gong, which begins sounding as soon as one
Of the sprinklers start to work. This would
give the alarm OF a fire TO people on the
street and cause the prompt sending in Of an
alarm TO the fire department
The water supply is secured from a 6-inch
main In the cellar, connected with the Bay
street sewer. The pipes are also connected
with a 7,000-9allon tank on top of the
building, which would furnish the supply
in case anything happened TO shut Off the
city water. The insurance men were
highly pleased with the test Of the Hill ex-
tinguisher A big advantage to Mr.. Guck-
enheimer by the introduction of the system
into his establishments will be the reduction
OF his insurance rate.

State Agent Bshre, whose headquarters are

Finally he secured lot Of the registers
and suddenly became slow In accounting to
Mr.. Behre. That gentleman wrote Bluett
several letters, and not receiving much
satisfaction, sent word TO Bluett
that he was coming TO Savannah to see him
and have settlement.
Bluett. however, was not very anxious to
see the agent and the day before the one set
for Mr. Behres arrival Bluett left the city.
Mr.. Behre found that Bluetts accounts
were short nearly 81, 900 aud that several Of
the registers were unAccounted for. He
employed Detective Wetherhorn TO take
charge Of the case and that officer soon dis
covered two registers in the pawDshops
where Bluett had pledged them the day be-
fore he disappeared.
Detective Wetherhorn next set about To-
eating the embezzler, but several Of Bluett's
friends got around Mr. Behre and promised
to see that the amount of the defalcation
would be made good il he would drop the
criminal prosecution. This the agent agreed
to and discharged Detective Wetherhorn.

BROKE INTO A SALOON.
A WeIl-known Young Man Charged
with the Crime

with the Crime.
Curtis Colorado cafe and saloon, at
Whitaker and Bryan streets, was twice
burglarized in the last few months of a
total sum of Sl07 in cash besides liquors,
and Mr.. Curtis finally decided to put in a
burglar alarm.
Night before last third attempt at
burglary was made. O0e of the large
panes of glass in the Whitaker street door
was broken, which started the alarm.
When the burglar alarm police reached the
scene they saw well-kn young man
running away from the place. They tried
to capture him, but although he escaped,
he was recognized. not only by the police
but by q man who saw him attempt to
enter the saloon.
Mr.. Curtis was furnished the name OF the
guilty party. He believes he is also guilty
of the other two burRlaries and will give
him a chance to settle things by paying
back the stolen money and the value of the
liquor. If he does not agree to do this Mr..
Curtis viii prosecute him for burglary.
In the latter event the case will be sem
sationol one, as the young man is we'll oonr
nected and up to a short time ago occupied

STILL AT THE BOTTOM.
No Attempt Yet Made to Raise tn
Sunken Bark.

No Attempt Yet Made to Raise the
Sunken Bark.
The Austrian bark Undine still lies at the
bottom of the channel just this side of the
quarantine station, no attempt or contract
having as YET been made to have her raised.
Capt. Trapani. the Italian vice consul,
who at present has charge of the
bark, Gays that advice is be-
ing awaited from the insurance
companies which took the risk. as well as
from the owners. Pending these advices,
which are expected in few days, no con-
tract will be made for having the Undine
taken from the bottom OF the river. There
seems to be some difference between the
owners of the bark and the insurance COM
panies, and nothing will be done until they
are settled.
The owners OF the bark have ample time
to make all arrangements, as the United
States engineer can take no action until
sixty days have passed and ample notice
has been given. However, 1t will be ire
mendous undertaking TO raise the bark and
put her in good oond ton again. The
quicker the work is done the better, as il
will save further damage TO the hun of the
bark and prevent the formation Of a bar in
the channel, which would be a still more
serious calamity to the channel than the
sinking of the bark.

THE CENTRAL REORGANIZATION.
The Southwestern Committee said to
be Favorable to 1t.

The Southwestern Committee said to
be Favorable to 1t.
Since the mathod of easy transference Of
Central stocks and securities went into eff
fect the amounts received have been much
larger. while the work In connection with
the matter has been brought down to a
minimum. or course the largest receipts
have been in stocks, for they would suffer
most il the reorganization should be unsuc-
cessful and the road we're to be sold.
A gentleman who was in the city yester-
day, and who was present at one Of the
meetings OF the Southwestern committee in
New York last week, said there appeared to
be very little doubt that the Southwestern
would enter the reorganization plan. This
he gathered from expressions of the COM
mittee, and he said 80 far as he could see
the committee is very much inclined to-
ward such a course
Very little will be known positively
however, in regard to the invest CATION
until tho committee returns and makes its
report TO q meeting Of the stockholders aud
directors which will be held In Macon
within a few days. Until that time, when
the result Is announced, the transfereucs
Of the stocks will continue slow, but what
ever way the Southwestern acts, a lively
movement OF stocks and securities is antici-
pated after their decision is reached.
Those in q position TO know most about
the matter together with the gentleman
above quoted, say there is probably very
little doubt that the Southwestern will
come 10, and the information that the COM
mittee is favorable to such a course is by no
means a surprise to those acquainted with
the state of affairs.

Chief Surgeon Elliott Absent but the
Programme VIII Be Carried Out.
The surgical association OF the Central
railroad will hold it's third annual meeting
to-day aud tomorrow. The surgeons will
assemble this morning In a room at the De
Soto. where the meeting will be called TO
order at 9 O'Clock by President North Of
Newman.
A number OF the surgeons came in last
night, among them President North. The
programme for this mornings meeting has
already been published in the MORNING
News. Il is rather business meeting aud
will consist mainly OF the reading Of papers
upon various topics Of interest which have
come under the direct attention OF the sur
geons. While some Of the topics are gem
eral, a number of them include the diagnosis
of special and unusual cases.
Unfortunately two very interesting por-
tions of the programme will have to be
surgeon DR.. w. II. Elliott, who was called
away Sunday by the serious illness of his
son, who had to be taken to western hos
pital while on his way home from Mil
wsukee. These are the papers on elastic
constructions by DR.. Elliott, and the ad-
dress of the chief surgeon. In all other re-
spects the programme rs given will be car
ried out.
The papers are all on interesting topics to
the surgical world, and the attendance will
no doubt be full one. The association was
organized some years ago for the purpose
of bringing the Central railroad surgeons
on terms Of closer acquaintance for their
mutual benefit, and it is their plan to have
an annual meeting for general discussions
as to treatment and explanations Of unusual
cases.
Wednesdays programme includes an ex-
cursion co Tybee. The surgeons will leave
the city on a special train tomorrow even
ing at 2 o'clock for that resort, where they
will enjoy an oyster roast and other pleas
antries common to such an occasion.

A NEW STAGE SPECTACLE.
"The Bottom OF the Sea" in Revised
Form at the Thester.

Form at the Theater.
The attraction at the thester tomorrow
night is "The Bottom Of the Sea-" The
play is a French spectacle, adapted by
William A. Brady. The mechanical de-
vices shown are ingenious and elaborate. In
the fight between the diver and a poulp,
the audience fs treated 70 something novel.
Most people have read Hugo's "Toilers OF
the Sea-" and have felt a creepy sensation
down the small Of the back in reading that
memorable battle between a cuttlefish and
a man In a cavern. Jules Verne very clev-
erly worked these monsters into his wonder
full story, Twenty thousand Leagues Under
the Sea, and probably one Of the most in
teresting chapters OF that very interesting
book is where the Nautilus rises TO the
surface, 30 that its enigmatical captain and
his Grew can slaughter the monsters, one of
whom has got entaugled in the screw. Few

marine plant, set in motion by the almost
impercephble undulation Of the water. The
diver steps toward IL when it suddenly
springs into horrible life, and its terrible
tentacles weave themselves about him.

THE HUssARs' UNIFORM.

It Was One of the Most Striking at
the Inauguration.
The New York Times says that one of the
most striking uniforms displayed was that
of the Georgia Hussars, who were resplend-
ent in silver and blue, and who had long
white plumes 90 their caps. There were
companies in gray and yellow, in blue, with
white cross-belts, in uniforms made con-
spicuous by tall bearskin hats, or by he'll
NETS with spikes and trimmings Of highly
polished brass. There was more variety
and color in this division than in all the
rest Of the parade. All the southern organ

dent that the weather bore with especial
severity upon them. To add to their
troubles, several Of their commands paraded
without their overcoats, feat which none
Of the northerners attempted.

Convict Guard Pacetti attempted to shoot
County Engineer Blandford day or two
