CALLED OUT ny TWO FIRES.
One "A Chimney and the other I'm the
steamer BirdoswnId

The season of fires appears TO have come
again. All during the summer the firemen
hardly averaged a call a month. Cool.
weather brought the fires, however. Octo-
Der had hardly come in when the alarm
was sent in for the fire on Jones street
yesterday morning.
A few minutes before 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon the tiremen received a call
from box Al at Price and Huntingdon
streets. Chief Puder was disguised to find
that II was only chimney burning out in
a one-story house.
The firemen had hardly gotten back to
their houses when an alarm came in from
BOX 70, at the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway wharf. A fire on the
wharf usually means nard work for the
tiremen and the down town force respond
ed as fast as possible. When they arrived
at the wharf Of the Savannah Guano Com
pany they found a blaze in the hold OF
the steamer Bridesmaid, which was tax
ing on cotton at that point. 1t did not take
long to get the fire under control, how
ever, but a good deal of water was pumped
into the vessels hold.
The fire was in hatch No. s. and is sun
posed TO have been caused by spark
lighting on bale of cotton while on the
wharf. When dropped into the hold the
bale blazed up and the fire rapidly com
municated to the rest of the load in the
hold. Between twenty and thirty bales

not exceed $500 If 1t reaches that figure

WARNED OF THE ROPE.
Painter Burnham Knew 1t Was
Eaten by Acid.

Eaten by Acid.
Mr.. Matt O'Connen, who is superin-
tending the work on the McAIpin build
ings at Huh and Barnard streets. said
yesterday, in referring to the accident
which resulted in the immediate death
of John Hodges and the subsequent death
of Charles Durham, that he regretted
the accident as much as it was possible
for anyone to regret anything. 1t is the
only accident of the kind which has ever
occurred in his experience as builder.
ana 1t was not possible, he said for him
to have prevented il.
You have stated" said Mr.. o'Connen
that the rope which held the sling was
eaten out by muriatic acid. That is true
Burnham used the platform in washing
down the building with muriatic acid
and had worked with 1t for a week He
was warned to be careful of allowing
the acid to get on the ropes, and his
failure to do so is responsible for ms
death and that of Hodges. The accident
was not due to the lack of good rope, as
there were several hundred feet of new
rope in the building, for such purposes
asking"
Mr.. Doty, the foreman of the paint
ers." Mr. O'Connell said, noticed that
the rope al one end of the ladder was a
little frayed on the morning of the acct
dent He cut ii off and put on a new
piece of rope. Burnham, who came up
while he was doing this, grumbled at
his interference, and said that the ropes
were good enough. Had he taken the
care TO examine the rope at the other
end of the ladder he would have seen It's
condition. He had been working on the
platform for a week, knew the effects
of the acid, and should have exercised
better judgment. His failure TO do so
caused his own death and that of Hodges
1t is a very sad affair." and I regret 1t
very much, but these are the facts"

DEPTFORD MAY BE THE TERMINAL
The Georgia and AIabama's Wharves
May he There.

1t is rumored that the Georgia and
Alabama railroad has decided upon the
Deptford plantation just east Of the sa-
vannah, Florida and Western wharves,
as its terminal in this city.
1t is well known that the committee
appointed by the directors to examine
into the question OF terminal site spent
some time in looking at this property.
ana was there on Saturday examining
an IT'S advantages with that end in view
This COMMITTEES went to a meeting Of
the stockholders of the company at
Amerlcus Monday, but nothing definite
IN mat connection was done. This meet
ing was held merely for the purpose of
mortgages on the property Those of the
directors who were present, however,
went directly from Americas to Balti-
more, where meeting of the board will
be held this week
The committee will probably make its
report there, and II may be decided then
where the terminal will be- Mr.. w. w.
Mackall of the firm of Charlton, MackalI
a. Anderson was one of the number who
went to the meeting, and he is in Bal
umore now in conference with the owners
Of the property.
In case the committee has decided on the
Deptford plantation the question will be
as TO how II can best be reached. There
Is no trouble about water depth at that
point as the property is right at the five
fathom hole.
1t is most likely that the road would
cross the Savannah, Florida and Western
at a point four or five miles from the city
and parallel the Tybee road to a point
where IL would have to cross to reach
the water front. The recommendation of

Of the number Of people who had re-
manned out Of the city on account Of the
continued hot weather, that the attend
ance on opening day would fall below
that OF last year, but this proved to be a
big mistake. There was an increased at
tendance of 90 in the white schools and
$40 in the colored schools. The large in
crease in the colored schools is due to the
opening of the new school at Anderson and
East Broad streets. where 426 pupils We're
received. This affords accommodations
TO the several hundred colored children
who were turned away from the schools
al the opening last October.
The High School shows the largest in
crease Of any Of the white schools, there
being ninety-six more pupils entered than
on opening day year ago This is due TO
the large number of graduates Of the
grammar schools last year, who come up
to the High School.

TuRPENTINE OPERATORS MEET.
They Adjourn Till Oct. 10 TO Discuss
Their Plans.

The Turpentine Operators Protective As
socation held a meeting yesterday at the
office of Messrs. Gignilliat & Stubs, for
the purpose of outlining its policy. There
was a lengthy discussion among the OPP
orators in which they came to the CON
clusion that they would change the policy
from that originally contemplated.
For this reason they decided, after some
consideration 10 adjourn the meeting to
Oct Is in order to secure the fullest pos
sible representation. The question of
recommending a scale Of prices for cutting
and for labor was discussed to some ex-
tent, and it is most likely that action viii
be taken upon il at the next meeting.
The association IS an Incorporated COM
pany and also has exchange or assOcia-
ton features. Those interested in its work
say that 1t has come to stay, both as to its
business and protective features. The
members are financially interested in 1t
and this will bring them closer together,
and guarantee a stronger union than was
ever possible under the voluntary associa-
ton.
The association will decide on Oct Is
whether it will go into the business of
barrel manufacturing or pursue some
other course in order to accomplish its
purpose.
