LIBELED FOR SALVAGE.
Rescue of the Norwegian Bark Will
lam at brunswick

A libel for salvage was filed in the
United State court yesterday against the
owners of the Norwegian bark William,
which went ashore Feb. 9, at Long Island
inlet north breakers near Little St
Simons Island. The William came near
being a total wreck and might have gone
to pieces within day or two had she not
been pulled of.
The steam tugs Dauntless, Angie and
Nellie and the U. Dart, all Of Brunswick,
went to the aid Of the distressed bark.
The Dauntless was the first to make
proposition to take her off and she Sc
cured the services of the other two tugs
II is alleged that she could only be taken
off with much difficulty and that the
lives of those on the tugs were in danger
during the work of removing the bark.
She was finally pulled out of the sand,
however, and carried safe into port at
Brunswick. 1t is asserted that the bark
was insured for Sll 600, while she is
worth only between $1,000 and 81 600
The combined value of the tugs engaged
in resCuing the bark is put down at S4S,-
| 600, The bark was 6l3 tons registered
! The owners OF the tugs claim that they
are entitled TO reasonable part of the
value of the bark as salvage. They are
! represented by Messrs. Garrard, Meldrim
and Newman

SUING THE CITY.
a Security Company Which Found
City Taxes Too Heavy a Burden.

A Security Company Which Found
City Taxes Too Heavy a Burden.
MIR. G. II. Miller, representing the
Franklin Savings and Security Company,
filed a bill in the superior court yester-
day against the mayor and aldermen Of
the city of Savannah and BObertJ. Wade,
city marshal The bill asks for damages,
injunction and relief.
This company had its principal business
Office in the city until the latter part Of
1892, when it removed to BlOoEiugdalc in
this county. 1t claims that it had to re-
move from the city on account Of the op-
pressiva DurdenSf city taxation which,
in connection with other burdens and
taxes, was more than it could stand
In 1892 the petition says the COmpany's
property was returned for city taxation
at between $1,000 and $4,000. 10 saws
that City Marshal Wade, thinking this
return false, raised il 10 100000. An APP
peal was made TO the finance committee Of
the city. and The company got an adverse
decision. The matter was then appealed
10 council and a favorable decision was
rendered. This, it is claimed, put the
company to the expense of 5000 in hiring
in attorney and for other purposes. This
as the amount Of the damages asked.
The company then claims it moved from
the city TO BloOmiugdale in order to avoid
the payment OF city taxes While it had
a business Office here, for which it paid
the special tax or license charged by the
city, its principal Office was at
Bloomiugdale. The company claims that
it moved there in the year 1892, but
Notwithstanding that fact the city mar
sinai has returned its personal property at
$4,000 to $1,000 for the years 1898 and
1894, although the principal Office is not
in the city. The taxes the company has
failed to pay, and the city marshal has
entered a double tax against it. Still re
fusing to pay executions have issued and
the city marshal has given notice that he
intends to collect the taxes by garnish-
ment process.
The bill prays relief from the city taxa
ton as their principal Office is not within
the city limits. 1t prays injunction pre-
venting the collection Of the taxes under
these circumstances against the mayor
and alderman of the city and especially
against the city marshal MIR. II. }.

THE COMMISSIONERS MEETING.
Some Important Matters to Come Up
for Discussion To-day.

The meeting of the county commission
ers this afternoon will in all probability
be an interesting one. There are several
questions Of Importance and interest to
come up.
One matter in particular which may be
watched with interests the discussion
of the accounts of the county engineer
Maj. r. A. Blandford. The question with
regard to the accounts is his failure to
charge TO the chain-gang account the
products used from the county
farm. II is claimed also that there have
been discrepancies arising from the fact
that Camp No. 2 which has Just
half the number of men there are at
Camp No l is using nearly the same
amount of certain kinds of supplies
Mai. Blandford has expressed himself as
outraCed at the charges which have been
made with regard 10 these accounts, and
he has prepared a long and exhaustive
report going over the entire subject in
detail.
The matter of road improvements men
toned in the general preseuuments of the
last grand jury, and the STRENGTHENING out
of the Bucllhalter road Will also be i'm
portant topics of discussion.

Mr.. Joseph Arthur's successful comedy
drama, "The Still Alarm" will be pre-
scented at the theater this afternoon and
to night. It's interesting story. comming-
ling pathOs humor realism and thrilling
sensations is familiar to most play-goers,
and long since received the endorsement
of the mass of theater-gOers The fire en-
CINE scene with all its minute and truth
full details, perfect reproduction of the
interior of a well-equiDped engine house,
is admitted to boone of the most realistic
bits of realism seen on the stage in
long time. The lightning hitch, the in
spring dash for the fire, sHi h the brave
tremen dressing as they run; the engine
putting and blowing and emitting sparks
of fire and clouds of smoke and the
horses full Of life and impotence and as
eager TO reach the fire as the fremen
themselves-aLl this com bines to make the
scene one Of rare spirit and novelty. This
is the only meritorious play dealing with
fire incidents which has yet been given to
the public; secondly, there is a pretty story
of love and duty admirably told; and
again, the play is one that appeals to no
one class, but serves to delight and iu-
struct ali alike. The realistic scenes
which have served as a basis for so many
limitations were first shown in THE Still
Alarm, and are still the only genuine

fact that they belong to the play, and are
not logged in for want of an interesting
plot, is made apparent throughout the
production.
There is a spirit of romance and danger
about the life of a fireman in a big city,
which makes story of this kind unusu-
ally attractive, and Mr.. Arthur in THE
Still Alarm" has succeeded in giving a
very vivid picture OF the life of fireman
The company is said to be stronger than
