GRAIN WAREHOUSE BURNED.
The Plant system Has a Lively $751;
600 BIaEe.

Warehouse No. Of the Savannah. Flor
ida and Western railway. on Wheaton
street, was burned yesterday morning.
with its contents of hay, grain and other
products. The loss is between $4,000 and
$1,000 almost all OF which is covered by
insurance. The warehouse was used for
the storage Of goods awaiting demand.
No one knows how the fire originated.
There had been no fire in the clerks Of
fee in the building for several days and
no pusher was used on the adjoining
track during the night Smoke was seen
issuing from the building by the watch
man in the yard about 4.i5 o'clock. An
alarm was at once turned in and the fire
department from the three stations in the
northern portion of the city responded.
The fremen had on their new winter uni
forms, which were very comfortable in
the cold and frosty air.
As soon as Chief Puder saw that the
fire was a serious one he sent in a second
alarm, calling out the entire department.
II was nasty fire TO handle. There was
large quantity Of hay and other infiam-
mable material in the building and the
flames. famed by a stiff breeze burned
Hereby Apparently the ire originated
in the western end Of the building. from
which IL spread rapidly toward the center.
The least damage was done in the east
ern end.
The fierce heat soon caused the walls
and roof 10 warp and fall in. The walls
tumbed I'm for one-quarter to One-half
their hight all the way round, except at
the eastern end. 1t was fully two hours
before the fremen had the fire under con-
troll and then the flames continued TO
blaze up in spots. Two engines and a
force Of men were kept on duty pouring
water on the ruins all day, and a force
was kept on watch last night.
The following firms were Interested in
the contents of the building some having
several carloads: Whitehead a. Co., Sa-
vannah Naval Stores Company, Mer-
chants National Bank, w. d. Sim
kins, Younglove & Goodman, Moore
& Co. Hull & PEBBLES. J. p Will
liams & Co., Fawcett Bros, T. J. Davis
NJ. Alexander & Co. Law & BrOwder
West, Wigs & Co. NJ J. Doyle HufIin
& Co, L. G.. Trenholm, Forest City Mills
Charles EdmonsOn.
The contents of the building were as
follows: 255 bales rice straw, 2,910 bales
of hay 1855 sacks of oats, 533 sacks of
bran, 462 sacks of corn, 240 sacks corn
eyes The total value of the contents was
between $4,000 and $4,000. Nearly all the
business houses had Insurance on their
consignments, and there will be but 1T
tie loss. The building was insured in the
Phoenix of London for Sc, 800, which was
about its value. The insurance company
will probably replace it. The building
was comparatively new, having been
erected about six years ago 1t was the
largest grain warehouse of the company
being SOi feet in length by 4S in width.

TO REoRGANIzE THE NJ. AND n. G
Ii Would Have no Effect Upon the
BOndhoIders' Action.

Capt, John Flannery and Mr.. B. A.
Denmark have just returned from Mari
eta, where they have been to attend the
sale of the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad, in which a large number of
Savannahians are interested, directly or
indirectly, on account of the number of
bonds held here.
Word has been received since they re-
turned that the purchasers, nominally
the Car Investment Company of New
York, intend to reorganize the property,
and offer the security holders in the old
company as favorable terms as possible.
This. however. will have no effect upon
the action taken by the Savannah bond
holders TO protect their interests. The
holders of the first mortgage bonds are
about the only ones who will get any
thing at all out of the property. The to-
tai outstanding Issue of these bonds is
about $4,000, and about half of these, or
$4,000, are held in Savannah. There are
about $S3OOO0 of them in the possession of
the trustee for the benefit of the holders
of the second mortgage bonds, amounting
all told to S3,SOJ000 It is not known just
how many of the second mortgage bonds
are held here. That, however does not
concern the situation
There were about 100000 in receivers GER
tiicates, contractors liens, car trust GER
tihcates and other obligations which
Judge Newman held came ahead of the
first mortgage bonds. AS this amount
would eat up a very large part of the pro-
ceeds of the sale the Savannah bondhold-
ers, especially made objection. They Oh
jected to the certificates issued for the
building of a bridge on the line in Ten
nesSee being made lien on the entire
property and they also made objection
to the car trust certificates being made a
lien on the Georgia end of the road.
If these objections had been sustained
by Judge Newman there would have been
more money TO divide among the bond
holders. But as he did not sustain them,
notice was given in his court that an APP
peal would be taken to the United States
circuit court of appeals, and they We're
given until Dec. s to file the necessary
papers in connection Herewith.
A satisfactory plan of reorganization
might, of course, do away with the neces-
sity for an appeal. but no appeal would
be likely TO be dropped uRtil the plan is
carried out.

RADFoRD MAY BE RANDOLPH.

nIr. Allen Bond Thinks He Can Iden-
tify the Man.
Mr.. Allen Bond of this city was in the
United States of Colombia with Messrs.
Ford and Harrison at the time of the
killing at Cali, Cauca valley Of Charles
Simmonds by an American citizen giving
his name as Charles Radford, but who is
supposed to be the defaulting Judge RAN
dolph of Montgomery, Ala.
Mr.. Bond was near the place where the
killing took place. and at the time of
Radfords arrest Being one of the few
Americans there he saw Radford and talk
ed with him for some time. If he could
see photograph of Randolph, he says
ne could tell at once whether or not Rad
ford ana Randolph are the same. Dur
ing his conversation with Radford, Mr.
Bond says he mentioned Judge Falligants
name and the names Of one or two other
Savannahians.
Mr.. Bond has spoken to these gentle
men about him since his return to Savan-
nan, but they do not remember any such
man as Radford. Mr.. Bond has no doubt
however, that this is an assumed name
lie says there is a very strong sentiment
IN Colombia against Radford, and the be-
llet Is that the killing was a murder 1t
is SAID the question as to whether he is
aefaulter in this country or not may
nave considerable to do with the United
matter - -

BETHESDA LADS AT THE FAIR.
THEY HAD A DAY or 1T AND SAW
ALL THAT WAS TO BE SEEN.

The Committee Had TO Pay Regular
Admission Rates to the Exposition
on Account of n Misunderstanding
with the Exposition COmPany-The
Boys Were Treated Well, Though,
and Had a Royal Time.
The Bethesda boys returned home yes
terday morning, covered with exposition
souvenirs and badges. and with their
faces shining with happiness. They had
seen the exposition thoroughly. had been
treated royalty and had nothing to com
plain of, so far as they were individually
concerned. Immediately on arrival they
were marched to Hinckley's restaurant,
where a hot breakfast was served after
which they took the Isle of Hope cars for
Bethesda.
The gentlemen in charge Of the excur-
sion had a few complaints TO make.
owing TO a misunderstanding on the part
of the stationmaster at the union depot
at Atlanta, the car was not transferred
to the exposition grounds until nearly ii
O'Clock. and the boys did not get breakfast
until that hour. The breakfast was up TO
contract. however. and the hungry boys
played havoc with it. Mr.. A. s. Nichols.
who had charge Of the boys, was surprised
10 find that full fare was demanded for
the party at the exposition entrance. He
had understood from Capt. Purse that
rate of 10 cents a head had been secured
for the party. The gatekeeper stated,
however. that he had been authorized 10
accept this rate only for children under
L years of age, and that others must
pay full fare. The majority of the boys
being over y years of age, Mr.. Nichols
declined to accept of any such arrange
ment, and paid the regular rates for the
whole party. this being . cents head
for the younger boys and 80 cents for the
older ones. This Increase in expenditures
was unexpected.
The boys spent the day in sightseeing,
under the direction of Mr.. Nichols and
Mr.. A. d'Antignac, and saw pretty much
everything that was TO be seen. They
We're kindly received everywhere. At the
close of the day they were taken to ne
Midway, but there was not time TO take in
the shows there, had the committee con-
sidered this a proper expense. After
hot supper al the restaurant they were
taken back to their car and were soon on
their way back to Savannah. Before the
lights of Atlanta had faded in the dis
lance most of the boys were in the land
of nod, dreaming of the sights they had
seen.
The visit to the exposition will always
be remembered by the boys as one of the
events of their lives, and the kindness of
President Conner and the excursion COM
mittee will not be forgotten.

CROWDS GO TO ATLANTA.
Five Hundred People Went Up on
Last Nights Trains.

Savannah will be wen represented in
Atlanta to-day. Besides those who have
already gone up, about 500 more went up
last night Among the number were
many of the teachers and pupils Of the
public schools, who are taking advantage
of the short vacation granted on ac-
count of Thanksgiving to see the fair.
The Central railroad ticket office was
crowded all day and Agent Brewer had
all he could do to attend to those who
wanted tickets to Atlanta. Mr.. Brewer $
well known politeness and suavity was
taxed to its utmost, but il never gave
way. The Central night train was run in
two sections, the first section being COM
posed entirely Of sleeping cars. There
were seven sleepers for Atlanta and one
for Macon on the first section. The sec
ond section had six day coaches and a
Macon sleeper In the sleeping cars there
were over 200 people, and on the day
coaches as many more A large number
down to see them off, and the scene in
the depot up to the time of the departure
of the trains was quite lively.
There are a large number Of Savannah
people already in Atlanta, and with those
who will arrive this morning. there viii
be fully thousand Savannah people at
the exposition to-day. Quite a large num-

THE FIRST ICE OF THE SEASON.
Hard Freeze That Killed Tender
Vegetation.

Ice formed in exposed places yesterday
morning. Mercury went down to "a de-
grees ana early risers thought the west
ern blizzard had struck them for a GER
tainty.
1t was raw and chilly all day and
at night it grew colder still. The indi-
cations at midnight however, were for
cloudy this morning. warmer this after
noon and probably showers tonight. The
temperature did not get above IS degrees
during the day, and the mean was u de
grees below the average.
The weather reports last night were
meager on account of the fact that to-
day is a holiday. and did not show the
weather conditions IN tho west.
1t IS not fully known what effect the
freeze had upon growing vegetables, but
it is thought that the damage was not
very great, as the quantity of growing
vegetables thar We're susceptible to cold
was small, as most of the tender varie-
ties We're killed by last weeks freeze.
Tuesday nights freeze was hardly severe
enough to injure radishes, cauliflowers,
lettuce and onions, which are about the
only vegetables in the ground at present.
Sugar cane was considerably injured, but
most of it was nearly ripe the effect
VIII not be as serious as it would have
been had the freeze come a few days
earlier.

AT THE THEATER.
Ex-COnEFessmRn BANDS Lecture
Tonight on the silver Question.

Tonight on the silver question.
Ex-Congressman BANDS lecture at the
theater tonight on "The Single Gold
STANDARD a Disastrous Failure-The Flu
ture of America is for Bimetalism," will
be talk on the financial situation from
silver standpoint, of course. Mr.. Bland
does not agree with those who contend
that the hope for bimetallism in this coun-
try is by virtue of an international
agreement with the European powers.
He takes the position rather that the
United States government is amply able
itself to inaugurate and maintain sys-
TEN of currency based on the free and UNI
limited coinage of both gold and silver
at the ratio of 16 to !, without such CO.
operation or assistance.
In this lecture Mr.. Bland brings to his
assistance his experience extending over
the almost unprecedented period of TWEEN
ty-two consecutive years as member of
congress, which enables him to discuss
in the happiest manner, the one great
study of his life, the money question. Mr..
Bland has been close student OF the
financial question for a quarter OF cen
fury and perhaps has more ready infor-
nation on this subject than any other
money advocate.
Bert Coote played The New Boy yester-
day afternoon and last night to poor
houses. 1t may be that the people were
too busy with their Thanksgiving shop
ping to go to the theater. The entertain
ment is decidedly a good one. and Mr..
Coote himself is an exceptionally clever
comedian. Ii is to be hoped that when he
comes again he will meet with a better
reception.
Tomorrow night Conroy & Fox will open
their two nights and matinee engagement
in "O'Flarity's Vacation" They will be
seen for the first time here Their play
tells the story Of two well-to-do Irishmen
who take a couple of days outing at At
lantic City. The predicaments into which
they fall and the complications that arise
while trying TO make themselves agreeable
with the swell people of the watering
place are said to be worked into a very
interesting, although ludicrous story The
company with which Manager Malley has
surrounded his stars. is said to be an ex-
ceptionally stronge one, and includes such
well known people as j. w. Kingsley late
of the Robin Hood" Opera Company
Hayes & Post, the grotesque comedians,
who made a hit at the Madison Square
roof garden, New York city this summer;
Miss Susie Martin, for many seasons with
Edward Harrigan; Miss Letta Meredith,
for long time at the head of the Boston
Katie Allen, the bright little soubrette,
who was Conroy & Fox's leading support
last season in Hot Tamales," Miss Jean
Evelyne late of Frohman's forces, and a
number of other clever people. Everything
to be seen in 80 Flarity's Vacation is said
to be entirely new What songs and dances
there are interspersed throughout the
piece have all been composed and arrang-
ed especially for Conroy & Fox.

GARMENTS FOR THE POOR.
over IA Thousand Distributed by the
NeedIework Guild.

Several hundred of Savannahs people
will be made happy this winter through
the efforts of a number of noble and char
liable women, who have banded them
selves together as a branch of the Needle
work Guild of America.
The Savannah branch of the guild held
its first annual meeting at the Guards
hall yesterday at noon, and brought to-
gether for distribution the LOO garments
which the members have collected within
ten months of existence. The guild was
nrst formed here about ten months ago.
1t has a general organization which is
divided up into sections, each of which
has its own officers and directors The
section consists of two officers and three
directors, making a total Of five, each OF
whom is pledged to secure ten members
during the year. and the only duty of a
member is to give at least two new gar
ments, or their equivalent in cash, so that
where each section does its full duty it
turns in at least 10 garments for distri-
button.
Some of the sections of the Savannah
branch, however, did not confine them
selves TO that number but brought from
10 to $50, while others did not quite reach
the requirement. There are ten sections.
ana Just LOO garments were collected
SO the average was all right
Inc garments consisted of all sorts of
Undertaking for men, women and chill
usen. Ihere were among them all sizes
besides quite a number of sheets blank
cts and other articles used in giving
warmth to the body. The principal task
before the ladies was to determine how
they would distribute all these garments
Ihey hnally decided that they should be
distributed through the twenty white
churehes of the city, Catholic, Protest
ant and Hebrew and for that purpose a
DIVISION or the garments into twenty lots
was made. Nearly all the churches were
represented at the meeting and there was
quit large number of ladies present
The lots were distributed through fhei,.
committees, and the clothing will be dis
trlbuted among the poor over which each
church has special charge.
II being the annual meeting an cleo
tlon OF officers was held. The same officers
were reelected to serve for another
year as follows:
President-Mrs David Wells.
Vice President-Mrs Max Wolff
Secretary-Afiss NJ. Reid
Treasurer-Miss F. T. Prendergast.
Although the branch has been organized
but ten months it has done excellent
work The ladies. however, have deter
mined during the coming year TO work
even harder than before, and to organize
new sections wherever it is possible to do
so. The probability is that the number Of
garments for distribution next wear will

WANTS TO FIND MS FATHER.
VIM. CLANCY, Born in savannah, Has
no knowledge of His Percentage.

Judge Hampton l.. Ferrill of the court
of ordinary received a letter yesterday
from William CLANCY of Welborn street,
West End, Atlanta, asking him to exam
inc the records in his court and see if any
information could be found with regard
TO himself and his parentage.
He states in his letter that he is sup
posed to have been born in Savannah in
1868 1869, and was a few years later
placed in the ST. Josephs Orphanage at
Washington. Ga. He says he has prac-
tically 10 knowledge of his parents, but
supposes himself to be the son of a certain
Miles CLANCY or Chancey, who left North
Carolina and came to Savannah shortly
after the war.
Miles CLANCY was not married when
he left North Carolina, but he thinke he
came to Savannah and married here. He
was sent 10 the orphans asylum, he said
about 1874, but the officials of that insti-
tuition can give him none of the Informal
ton he desires.
Judge Ferrill hunted up all of the mar
riage records of that period yesterday
but could find no such name as that in
quired about. CLANCY says he is very
anxious to learn all he possibly can about
his parents, and if there is any one who
has any information regarding them he
will be thankful for it.
