lance Of 210 miles, was made in just seven
hours, making the running time about
thirty-fve miles an hour. This car was
consigned 10 Cincinnati, and left last
night for that point via the Western and
Atlantic

The shautv back OF this dwelling which
was occupied by Lucy Green ic0lorcdl,

department, however. prevented il. from
spreading and the shantv was the only
thing DESTROYED bv the flames The
dwelling, however, was badly damaged
by water, which NAV run the loss up to
500 or $500. The house was the property
of " K. LeakCn, Esq, and was covered
by insurance
The little conhagration brought out
large crowd and by the time the depart
ment arrived almost every piece of furui-
ture in the house, as well as in the two
adjacent houses, had been moved into the
street. None Of the contents Of the house
were damaged.
While the department was busted with
the fire some one shouted that another
house, Just around the corner on East
Broad, had caught. Some of the tiremen
rushed around 10 the place TO see what
was the trouble, and found that a spark
had lodged in some waste in the house
and set it 10 smoking. One Of the in
habitants became frightened and gave
the alarm. This, however, amounted TO
nothing.

NUIsANoEs 10 BE Stopped.
Hitching Horses to Trees and Defac,
ing Fences and Buildings.

ing Fences and Buildings.
The police are having a good deal of
trouble over the hitching of horses to
trees and fences and TO tree boxes and in
other places prohibited by the city coun-
ell. Numbers of young trees are injured
by being gnawed by horses and mules.
The ordinances prohibit the hitching
of horses TO trees, fences and ratings or
any inclosure of city property The
penalty is fine of 500. The
police are instructed to impound all ami
mails hitched to trees or anywhere else
prohibited by the city and take them to
the barracks and to enter charge
against the owner or driver The animal
will be held until the penalty for the viO-
latlOn of the ordinance has been paid
and the costs of impounding the animal
have been deducted.
The object is to prevent injury to the
trees. Reckless people have in many in
stances driven hooks and staples into the
trees and use them for hitching posts.
Another nuisance the police have to
deal with is the defacing of
fences, walls and sides of buildings by
mischievous and malicious people.
The law on this is as follows: "No per
son or persons shall within the city limits
of the city Of Savannah, write, carve, in
dite, paste or paint or in any manner de-
face or cause to be written any marks or
letters upon any building the property of
the city, or of the United States, or of
any person or persons, corporation or cor
porations."
The penalty is $40 fine in every instance.
Almost every day the walls or fences,
and frequently the sides of buildings in
the center of the city, are carved
with chalk marks and caricatures, some
Of them not fit 10 be seen, put there by
malicious people. A number of arrests
have been made by the police for this
matter, and few more. with an inflic-
ton of the penalty will have tendency

Savannah Has Had a Very Small
Share of This Business.
Very little phosphate has been shipped
from Savannah this year The heaviest
cargoes for foreign shipment have to go
from this port
The phosphate shipped from here all
comes from Florida. A good deal is
shipped from Tampa and Fernandina.
During April 2OOO tons were shipped to
England and 2 200 to the Netherlands from
Savannah. In May 4,5l0 tons were
shipped TO Germany and 2.6l2 tons TO the
Netherlands, making a total of only l l 1872
tons that have been shipped from this
port during the first five months of this
year.
Mr. j. NJ. Lang, one OF the foremost
men in the phosphate business left here
for Florida last night to look over the
situation, and he will probably have an
interesting report when he returns.

Pitcher Shaw of the Augusta team was
released in New Orleans Monday by Man
ager Stallmgs for throwing a ball at
Dooley and hitting one of the spectators
in the face. The audience went into the
diamond for the purpose of mObbing
Shaw, but the police rescued him by
placing him under arrest. In comment
ing on the affair, the New Orleans Times
Democrat says: This is the third row
Of the kind Shaw has created, and it is
also the last Manager Stallings released
him after the game and will not allow any
other club in the Southern League to sign
him. The first of the other sensations
referred to occurred in Savannah. and it
was necessary to call out the military to
keep him from being lynched. His last
escapade prior to this was in Memphis
not more than week ago No violence
was done, but the papers roasted him I'M
mercifully.n
Somebody has been giving the sporting
editor of the Times-Democrat a ghost
story about Shaw's Savannah escapade.
No one ever attempted to mob the Angus
tan here, although he made himself quite
obnoxious, nor was the military or any
other force called out TO save him from
being lynched.

tanned the following address: To the
