II. j. Boegen's Saw Mill Damaged by
Fire.

Fire broke out in the upper story OF
HI. J. Boegen's saw mill at about 2:3O
o'clock Friday morning, and the loud
blowing of three whistles brought out
the fire department very quickly. A
portion of the upper story is used as a
paint shop, and has been visited al
most nightly by parties of boys and
young men, and it is thought that
match carelessly thrown down caused
the tireFriday morning. -Four streams
of water were turned on, and after a
hard fight the flames were gotten I'M
der control. A strong wind blew the
sparks about in way that threatened
adjacent buildings, and the roof of f.
G. Heinze's house, across the street,
caught fire once. A wetting down of
all the houses exposed saved them,
however.
The interior woodwork of Mr..
Boegen's building was badly burned,
but the loss will not amount to more
than 5000. There was no insurance.

JUDGE PARDEE's ArPorNrMENTs
The Men He Selected 10 SELL the Gem
traI Politicians.

There IS considerable talk here over the
action Of Judge Pardee in appointing as
special commissioners to sell the different
properties Of the Central railroad parties
who have been recognized republicans
some Of them IN local as well as in national
politics
Parties interested in the Central rail-
road properties in various ways have
mentioned this in one or two instances,
and in some sections the matter has been
taken up editorially by the newspapers.
The ground taken by those making the
complaint is that there are plenty Of men
here and elsewhere who have been in
I. tereSted in the Central railroad all their
.lNes' financially as Well as otherWise' ana
that IN many Instances they would need
the Zee, whether small or large, much
more than those to whom the appoint
ments have been given.
- me idea Of giving man ike Buck
300 for what you might call not more
than three days work at the outside, said
gentleman yesterday, who has been
connected with the property ny II the
receivers We're paid at such a rate as that,
and there is no doubt that they have done
more work in any three days OF their adj
mlnlstration, what would be LEFTY II would
take pretty near all Of the property and
the bondholders would have TO be assess
ed besides"
What was particularly objected to, how
ever, was the fact that the special com
missioner is the recognized republican
leader of Georgia, and a man who, as the
speaker said, has little or no interest in
the property.
1t is an open. secret now that Judge Par
dee almost refused TO appoint Mr.. George
W. owens as one of the commissioners,
although Mr.. Owens has been special mas
ter in the Central railroad litigation al
most since its inception and has had some
interest in the property. 1t was only on
the urgent request Of the Savannah at
torneys, amounting almost to demand,
it Is stated, that Mr.. owens was made
one of the special commissioners. The
same position was taken by the speaker
with regard to Mr.. r. A. Angler, a well
known republican leader, who was made
special commissioner to sell the Sayan-
nah and Western railroad.

THE LYcEums OPENING LECTURE
Hon. Henry WattersOn ON the Life
of Abraham Lincoln.

The Lyceum has announced the opening
lecture of the course for Oct. 80, when
Mr.. Henry Watterson will deliver his
lecture on the Life Career and Death
of Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Watterson de-
livered the lecture in Chicago last Febru-
airy in commemoration of the eighty-sixth
anniversary of the birth of the martyr
President. The lecture was in the Audi
torium Hall, which was packed, to hear
the distinguished Kentucky orator-a con-
federate soldier and southern statesman
LAY upon the altar of American manhood
the tribute of ehivalric patriotism. The
Hon. Robert Todd Lincoln, the sole sur
viving son of Abraham Lincoln, and
members of his family. occupied one Of
the boxes. For two hours, amid enthusi-
astic applause, Mr.. Watterson held his
audience and at the close every one felt
that, for the first time, he had seen and
known the wonderful man whose weird
life-story the eloquent Kentuckian had
SO wildly told.
Mr. Watterson went from Chicago TO
Denver, Kansas City, Minneapolis and
St. Paul, meeting overlooking crowds ev-
erywhere. In the capital of Minnesota
the general assembly, which was in ses-
sion-though two-t4irds republcan-met

committees of the two houses, standing.

TO GET Ar THE FACTS.
The Recorder Trying to UnraveI a
Much Tangled Row.


Charley ONeill, the young man who. it
is claimed, started the row with Police
man Fay on Broughton street Saturday
night, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Policeman Fay He was released short
ly after on bond.
ONeill was first arrested by Policeman
Fay, but escaped when his friends, T..
Mclaughlin and ]. Broderick interfered.
Mclaughlin and Broderick were not so
lucky, however and were arrested and
sent in, Policeman FARRELL and Brazell
having come to the assistance of Police
man Fay. The latter was off duty and in
citizens dress.
When the matter was Investigated by
Recorder Wilson yesterday morning Bro
derrick and Mclaughlin claimed that Fay
was intoxicated at the time. Foreman
Cullom of Engine Company No. ?, who is
related to one Of the young men, also
charged that Fay was drunk, and said
that he would produce witnesses to sub
stantate his charges. Policeman FAY
denied that he was intoxicated, in which
statement he was borne out by Policeman
Brazell and farrell. The recorder con-
tinued the case until this morning, in or
der that both parties might have their
witnesses in court

THE ORDERS FILED HERE.
MIR. W. r.. LeaIsen 10 sell the Outside
Properties of the Central.

The orders passed by Judge Pardee at
the session Of the United States
court. which was held in Atlanta
on Saturday. with the accompanying pc
tltious. were filed in the United States
court here yesterday. Among them was
the petition with regard TO the sale of
the outside property not covered by the
MORTGAGES. or rather about which there
is some doubt
An account Of this petition and the or
der directing that the property be adj
vertised for sale on Dec. is, and that all
creditors file their claims by that time or
be debarred was published in the Morn
ing News yesterday. The order for the

the bank and its assets ana real estate
il certain counties along the line Of the
system. appoints Mr. w. r. Leaken or
this city the special commissioner TO
make the sale, and directs him TO report
TO the court all the proceedings incident
The appointment Of Mr.. Leaken was
quite a surprise TO himself and his friends
no intimation had been given before
hand that he would be the special COM
missioner. He has been widely congrat-
the the bench that as Special Mas
ter George ". Owens had to pass
upon the claims, and upon the property,
he thought there should be a separate
commissioner TO make the sale and the
titles to IL.
The fund will go into court for distri-
button to the creditors along with that
arising from the sale of the other prop
critics
Another paper filed was the report of
the receivers with regard to the sale Of
the securities hypothetical as collateral
to secure the floating debt, to the Mer-
camille Trust Company, for $l,OO0,O00. This
sale was approved by the court. Another
order filed was that allowing the special
masters who sold the Central railroad

WANT MORE UNIFORM BARREL
Turpentine Men and BarrelmaIxers
Fail 10 Reach an Agreement.

The inspection committee of the board
of trade held a conference with the rep
resentatives of the various spirit barrel
manufacturers yesterday, at the board of
trade rooms.
The object of the meeting was to in
sist that the manufacturers make a more
uniform barrel than heretofore. The in
specition committee stated that the trade
would be better satisfied with a barrel
ranging in capacity from forty-eight to
fifty-two gallons.
The regulation barrel is now made to
hold from forty-five to fifty-five gallons,
and the committee claims that the range
is so wide that it causes inconvenience
in great many ways.
Nothing definite was agreed upon at
the meeting. The barrel manufacturers
say that in order to comply with the re-
quest of the committee, it would be nee
essary to alter their machinery, which
would have to be done at considerable
expense. 1t is said that nothing will be
done in the matter unless the rules of the
board of trade are changed requiring
manufacturers to come to the terms set
forth by the inspection committee. In
that case no barrels would be accepted
on the market which are not within the
range of capacity required by the board
of trade.
