PREPARED FOR A BLAZE.
The City Would Have Lost no Records
If the Exchange Had Burned.


The city fathers were prepared for any
emergency if fire had attacked the city
exchange, and it looked at one time as if
the old building were about to go.
The hot flames soon began to warm up
the dry wood of which the tower on the
exchange is constructed, and when the
fire was at its hottest, the tower began to
smoke as il it would take but little more
heat to set ii ablaze. AS soon as this was
noticed several men were sent to the top
of the building with buckets of water to
keep back any blaze and little later
when it began to look dangerous, a hose
line from the chemical engine was run up
to the tower, which effectually prevented
ii from catching
The awnings on the western side of the
building next to the nre were bA.ned
however, and the wooden window frames
badly scorched. This was on the side &C.
cupied by the city treasurer, and when
the danger was seen the occupants Of his
Office lost no time in moving out all the
records in the Office and the money was
taken from the safe, and put on deposit
in the Chatham Bank.
The mayor and clerk Of council lost all
faith IN the tire-proof vaults Just back Of
the exchange, ia which all the important
records are kept, and although they were
intended By their builders To be indie
structible and entirely hre-proof an the
records Of the city and valuable
papers which they contained were
taken from them and carried 20 a
place Of safety. Mayor McDonough

Sure Enough Favorites' Day, With
Eight Winning the Track.
Yesterday was sure enough favorite's

excellent time was made Strathmeath

stubbornly contested from start to finish
Madison and St. Louis have made an
agreement whereby they alternate, this
week at Madison and next week at ST.
Louis this will improve the attendance
at both tracks. The programme for to-
day at New Orleans, is one of the best
they have given out. The handicap for
all ages and the Carnival stakes for
2-year-olds would lock well on Mon mouth

are far above the average.

WATCHING THE ROOFS.
Buildings Blocks Away in Danger
From Flaming Cinders.

Buildings BLOCKS Away in Danger
From Flaming Cinders.
When the fire burst through the front
of the burning buildings the intense heat
extended TO all of the buildings across
the street. All along the Bay men were
stationed with hose ready to quench any
fire that would possibly start from the
great cloud of sparks which filled the
air.
The MORNING NEWS building was kept
wet from cellar to roof, lines of hose be-
ing attached to hydrants on every floor.
There appeared to be no immediate dan
ger, but the building was drenched with
water as precaution, in case the wind
would shift and bring it in the line of the
flying cinders.
Fragments of burning wood were car
ried several blocks and lodged on roofs
and in the trees. A huge blazing cinder
landed in a tree on Johnson square and
burned for nearly half an hour among the
leaves. Pieces of flaming paper sailed
over Bryan and st. Julian streets, and
even went as far as Congress
and Broughton streets, carried by
the wind, before they burned out
and fell, charred cinders. The pavements
and sidewalks for blocks were crowded
with dead Goals. Hundreds of coats,
dresses and hats were burned by the fall
ing cinders, that fell at times in showers
1t was only the closest watch that pre-
vented the fire being carried into build
ings half dozen blocks away.

THE BURNED BUILDINGS.
They Will Be Rebuilt as Soon as the
Material Can Be Got.

The burned buildings were the property
Of the Wilcox s. Gibbs Guano Company
They were erected in 1888 and 1889, the
foundations of older and less pretentious
buildings, which had formerly occupied
the site, being largely used in their con-
structiOn.
The Ferst building, which had front
of 1876 feet by "A depth, being two stories
above Bay street, and five from River
street, was erected in 1888, and occupied
the same year by Ferst's Sons Il Co.
Its cost was about $4,000.
The building occupied by the Savannah
Grocery Co, was erected the year follow
ing at a cost of about s45, 900 It was
splendidly arranged for the business for
which il was used. 1t had sixty-six feet
frontage with depth Of l55 feet and was
six stories in hight from River street, be-
ing three stories above Bay street. The
portion beyond River street was five
stories high The building was contin-
ued across River street by an arch sup
ported by iron girders.
The Wilcox * Gibbs Company occupied
an office on the Bay street floor being a
part Of the Savannah Grocery Companys
building.
Mr.. L. Y. Gibbs, general agent of the
company, said that the loss on the build
ings is nearly covered by insurance.
The buildings will be rebuilt at once, ."
he said, las soon as we can clear away
the debris and get the material laid down
here. The new buildings will probably
be on the same style as those burned"
Mr.. Gibbs said that only a small portion
of the stock of the guano company was in
volved in the fire, and as the mill was
only slightly injured, the company's oper-
tions would continue without Interrupt
ton
Mr. George L. Wilcox, president of the
company, is north on his bridal tour and
could not be reached by telegraph yester-
day, He will probably be notified to-day
