Dear Sir-Replying to your query,
what difference is there in rates existing
between properties under protection Of
fully equipped fire department and those
without protection? | will say that the
difference is about one-fourth greater. 1t
is also well known that It is becoming
constantly more difficult to have standard
insurance companies accept insurance in
localities not protected by an equipped
fire department. Respectfully yours,

SHOT BY HIS BROTHER.
Thomas Zipperer Seriously Wounded
While Hunting Wildcats.

Drs. r. G. and w. E. Norton amputated
the right arm of Thomas Zipperer, Is
year old boy, at his fathers homsson the
Monteith road, fifteen miles from Savan-
nah, yesterday morning.
Young Zipperer was out wildcat hunt
ing, with his brother John, Monday night
The two boys became separated about
midnight and John, hearing something in
the bushes near him, fired, lodging a
charge of buckshot in his brothers arm.
Some of the buckshot also went into
his side, breaking a rib, and one
shot penetrating the right lung The
wounded boy was taken to his home near
by and Drs. Norton summoned imme-
diately. They found it necessary to am
putate the arm three inches below the
shoulder.
A rib was also resected and the bullet
which had passed through the lung was
extracted. Young Zipperer bore the OPP
GRAFTON well, and was in good spirits at its
conclusion. His condition, however, is
very serious, as there is danger of pneu-
monia setting in, and also of blood poison
from the wounded lung, His brother was
in great distress over the accident.

GOOD FOR SOUTHWESTERN.
The Earnings of That Road Over
S242 900 for Six Months,

Receiver Corners quarterly report,
which, together with his last quarterly
report made to the court last November,
will be practically semi-annual report,
will be made up and ready for publication
within few days and it is said will
make a remarkably good showing for the
property.
The statistics have no. all been gathered
yet, but Receiver Conner said yesterday
that the report would show $4,000 add
tional net earnings for the Southwestern
for the month of December alone.
This, together with something over
$4,000, earned by the Southwestern
during the five months next preceding
December makes over S242, 900, or nearly
a quarter of a million net earnings for the
Southwestern in the six months ending
Dec. 81, 1893. If this business is kept up
it means that the Southwestern railroad,
as part of the Central system, can earn
net in twelve months nearly half million
dollars With this showing at the end of
the fiscal year, there will be no trouble
about reorganiZing it on a sound basis,
and it is said, one which will, no doubt,
give the stockholders much more than if
they should attempt to withdraw from
the Central and pay their pro rata of the
tripartite Indebtedness by putting a
heavy mortgage on their road
The showing which will be made by this
quarterly report being such an excellent
one will no doubt have much to do with
the plans Of reorganization which are now
forming in New York 1t is said that sew
eral of them are under way, and il is not
long before some reorganization announce
ments will be forthcoming

ufacturer had been awarded
prizes ''Medailles Imperiales"
for his manufactures at the Paris exposi-
lions. There is no date either on the
medal or on the card. The word "impe-
riales, - however, fixes the time Of their
manufacture as during the reign Of Napo-
leon III, who occupied the throne Of
France during the civil war
TWICE THE SIZE OF A DOLLAR PIECE.
The medals are about twice the size of
silver dollar. On one side is a raised
hgure intended as portrayal Of the head
OF Gen. Jackson with the inscription
Lieut.. Gen. T. ]. jackson, Stonewall
Born 1921. Died 1868" On the
other side is a list Of the
battles in which Gen. jackson
participated, "KernstOwn, Front Royal
Middleton, Winchester, Strasburg, Har-
risburg, Port Republic, Mechanicsville,
Cold Harbor, White Oak Swamp, NAL
vern Hill, Cedar Mountain and Manas-
sas" occupying the center in the order
named. On a scroll around the wreath
the following are inscribed: "Bull
Kun, Sudley, Harper's Ferry, Shepards-
town, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness,
Antietam, Martinsburg, Chantilly."
The scroll and wreath spring from a
mass of arms at the bottom, under which
are the words ''Deo Vindici."
The workmanship of the medal is very
good but the likeness of Gen. jackson is
very poor and might easily be taken for
that of Abraham Lincoln. The metal ap-
pears to be a composition of nickel and
copper. The medals are badly corroded
however, some being of golden yellow
and others as white as silver Only few
are In good condition, the greater number
being incrusted with rust and other ac-
foundations. Most of them could be put
IN good condition, however, by a person
experienced in cleaning metals.
INJURED BY THE AUGUST STORM.
A MORNING News reporter examined
the find yesterday. During the storm of
last August the water rose several feet in
the warehouse, thoroughly soaking the
medals and rotting their coverings. Had
1t not been for this they might
have been recovered in fair condition.
The medals were evidently put up in
good style by the manufacturer. Some
of them were enclosed in plush-lined
cases. A greater number had been put
up in black tin cases with glass crystals,
like those of watch, covering
the faces of the medal A large
quantity had not been encased at all,
but were simply stacked up together like
rolls of silver dollars. Those in the cases
are the best preserved, but the tin is
badly corroded. Some of them were
carried of by laborers around
the warehouse and distributed
through the town. They were snapped
up as relics by the old soldiers who came
across them, and now every old soldier
who has seen the medals is anxious to Sc
cure one. Mr.. West has placed the medals
under lock and key. He intends turn
ing over the supply either to the
Georgia Historical Society, to be sold
for the purchase of new books or to the
Confederate Veterans Association, to be
disposed of for the benefit of the associa-
ton. There is no doubt that the medals
will be in great demand as relics. There
appear to be between 1000 and 1000 of
them altogether.

THECAVALRY ORDERED OUT
-Four Troops Of the Fifth Georgia
Under Orders.

coed to the Scene of the Corbett-

Taking Place in Georgia-Col. Cor
don in Communication With the
Governor at Waycross.
Gov. Northen has ordered out the
Fifth Georgia cavalry, or portion of it
to prevent the Corbett-Mitchen fight
taking place in Georgia.
Col. Gordon received orders late last
night to have the available troops of the
regiment under marching orders at s
O'Clock tonight. He at once issued the
following orders to Capt. Bernie Gordon
of Troop A, the Hussars:
Headquarters Fifth Regiment Georgia

will assemble your troop dismounted to NOR

FOUR TROOPS UNDER ORDERS.
Similar orders were issued to Capt.
Fraser, of Troop B, at Mcintosh; Capt.
Clarke, Of Troop /, az Jesup, and Capt.
Hughes, of Troop +, at Johnston station.
The orders were telegraphed the com
manding officer of each troop.
Capt Gordon will issue orders to the
Hussars this morning 10 be in readiness
at their armory at s o'clock tonight,
armed and equipped, to await
orders, The utmost dispatch will
be used n in putting the troops
in readiness. The destination of the regi-
ment is not known. Col. Gordon's orders
were to hold his men in readiness and to
await further instructions.
TO GUARD THE STATE LINE.
II is probable, IN event there is any
likelihood of the fight taking place, they
will patrol the state line. The points
which Gov. Northen has in view are
wher3 the Florida Central and Peainsular
and Savannah Florida and Western rail-
ways cross the boundary line and Cum
berland.
Col Gordon was in communication with
the governor last night at Waycross, bat
further than ordering the available troops
of thetregiment TO be in readiness, it is not
known what passed between them. There
is no mention in the regimental orders as
TO the destination of the troops or the pur-
pose for which they are called out. The
fact that they are ordered out dismounted
and in marching order with one days ra-
tions is sufficient to indicate the purpose
for which they are wanted.

Local sportsmen have been very sue


Local sportsmen have been very sue
cessful in bagging large numbers of
ducks, quail and partridges in the last
few days The game season is at its
hight and large quantities of birds are
now being shot very near the city. The
sport is largely INDUCED in and plenty of
game is brought home after each days
hunt.
The weather is still too warm in the
north for snipe and woodcock, but the
sportsmen expect TO see them here before
the month is out. Partridges and quail
are in great abundance and are selling
for about one-half the price they brought
this time last season.
A number of northern sportsmen
passed through Savannah recently
on their way to South west Georgia, where
they had a most successful hunt, killing
more birds than they could dispose OF
easily.
Mr.. George Nicoll, a former resident of
Savannah, and Mr.. John Elton, Of Water
burp Conn, with a party from here,
bagged large quantities Of game on a re-
cent hunt, and they report that game is
more plentiful than it has been in years
There is a large mem bership of the State
Sportman's Association in Savannah, who
are enthusiastic over the meeting to be
held here Feb. IS.
Among the most important matters to
be brought before that meeting is that TO
induce the next legislature to enact laws
looking to the better protection of game,
and to prevent the pot hunters from in
terfering with their sport. Sportsmen
from all over the state will be at the
meeting, which promises to be an inter
esting one. Every man in Georgia who

WORST COLD OF THE WINTER.
There Seems to Be No Doubt About
the Cold Wave This Time.

the Cold Wave This Time.
There seems to be no doubt whatever
about the cold wave this time, and Sa-
vannah will catch it tonight or early to-
morrow morning.
The cold spell coming is the severest of
the season, that is. provided the wave
keeps up the intensity it has exhibited in
the northwest. The cold wave is grad
ually moving down the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains and has increased in in
tensity to such an extent that it has be-
come the severest cold wave of the season.
The temperature at Bismarck, n. D.,
last night was 22S below zero. at North
Platte, Neb, 20 below, at Omaha, IA be-
low, at St. Paul, To- below and a below
zero at Kansas City. The cold wave has
caused severe freezing weather through
out the lake region, Illinois.
Missouri, and Western Arkansas
A high pressure or cold wave is now
drifting in from the section north of the
Ohio river, and the temperature will ex-
perience a considerable fall between now
and tomorrow morning. For to-day the
forecast promises threatening weather,
rain, easterly winds, shifting to north
west and increasing in force, with de-
cidedly colder weather by tomorrow
morning.

AT THE THEATER.
Lillian Lewis in Her New Play,
Goodbye, Sweetheart"

0OO0byes 0W66In6dIIs
Lillian Lewis in Goodbye, Sweet
heart" was the attraction at the theater
yesterday afternoon and last night. The
theater was crowded at the matinee, and
after the performance Miss Lewis held an
impromptu reception to over 200 ladies
and children.
There was a large audience at the night
performance, and every body seemed de-
lighted with the play and charmed with
thelpleasing and attractive actress.
Miss Lewis, with her simple, honest and
natural manner, won the hearts of men
and women alike. The tableaux, visions
and songs, and especially the storm scene,
were very effective.
Goodbye, Sweetheart" fills all souls
and minds with the goodness of good life.
Miss Lewis danced a Mazurka very
gracefully, and was applauded heartily as
she was also after some of her pretty
scenes and sweet speeches.
She is tercely Jealous, but her jealousy
is comical, and all in all makes one feel
the better after seeing her play the part
not of the wretched woman, but a woman
who lives to bring love and happiness into
the lives of those around her.
Mr.. Charles L. Davis will be seen to-
night in alvin Joslin.' The play abounds
and ridiculous escapades, forming pleas
ing relief from its exciting climaxes and
startling scenic and realistic episodes
The scenery and stage effects are ample
and truthful, depicting high and low life
in New York city. While there is some
startling climax in every act, each scene
is replete with laughter, injecting pecu-
liarities. The trade mark, $50 laughs in
$50 minutes, is still prominent on the
posters.
Clara Morris, who will be in Savannah
weXt week tells good story on Stuart
Robson. "Once, in New York :" she says,
when number of us were at dinner,
Mr.. Stuart, one of the party, asked me
If lost myself in the play.
l told him to wait until after
the play, and he would see if l lost
myself in the role. We were very merry
at dinner, and Stuart, who had been
laughing uproariously, said: You needn't
think you can make me cry tonight after
seeing your mirth at this table, Well,
we went to the theater. The play was

His nose was red from excessive weeping,
and could distinctly see the tears chas-
ing themselves down his cheek. l caught
his eye, and--yes, will say it-gave him
cry decided wink. He was furious,
and made some remark. The audience
Missed him, and he went quietly to the
back of the box. He has always declared
that he would never forgive me for that
