TWO FREAKS IN FOWLS.
A Tbree-Legged Cock and Feather.
less Hen.
From the New York Tribune.


From the New York Tribune.
In a store near Vesey and Church
streets are to be seen strange freaks in
fowldom. There is q cock cross be-
tween a leghorn and a Plymouth Rock,
limb, except that the toes are not fully
developed, owing to the fact that the
fowl has really no use for it, and would
no doubt, gladly be without it. The third
leg impedes the bird in his movements
and gives him a hating gait
Sharing the coop with the three-legged
bird is hen of nondescript breed that
was born in Northern Montana II is
absolutely featherless. but has a warmer
coating than is given to most fowls, The
feathers have been replaced by a thick
suit OF down, not unlike that which one
sees on the emu. 1t is soft, thick and of
a dark slate color, and must be a much
warmer covering than the ordinary fea-
Their plumage. The fowl was certainly not
indigenous to Northern Montana, and
no doubt Nature in her kindness and
the GOODNESS of the environments have
brought about a change in the featherv
cloak of the barn-door fowl The new,
change in plumage makes the bird more
domestic than ever for the hen haV lit
tie If any power of flying, and like the
will have to depend for safety SOLELY
on her legs. For years ornithologists
have disputed as to the origin of the
fowl Some have held to the theory thai
all come from the jungle fowl OF India
(gallus Indicus,) while others have ARMED
that the Cochin, Shanghai and Brahma
are of distinct breed. If Northern Mon
tana farmers raise a breed Of flows sucb
as the hen now on exhibition, IL viii
conclusively prove that the barn-loor
fowl that Is undoubtedly a Descendant
OF the jungle fowl, can from environments
turn into a Shanghai

TO LOOK INTO THE FIRE.
The Suspected Incendiarism In KOh-
Ier's store TO he Investigated.

lers store 10 he investigated.
The fire at D. Kohler's clothing store on
Broughton street is being investigated by
the detectives.
Chief Puder made a report of the mat
ter TO Mayor Myers yesterday. in which
he stated that there were suspicious cir
cumstances pointing to incendiarism. The
insurance agents interested requested that
the police take charge of the place, which
was done, and an officer was kept on duty
all day and last night.
Policeman Guy Norris. who was on duty
at the place yesterday morning, would not
let Mr.. Kohler in when he came down.
Norris did not know Mr.. Kohler, and
would not take his word for Il that he was
the proprietor The matter was straight
ened a little later, however. and Mr..
Kohler was allowed access to his own
building.
THE loss is estimated at $4,000, and the
insurance is $1,000 divided as follows:
Wilson & Grady, Royal Insurance Com
pany, 5000; German-American Insurance
Company, 5000, Insurance Company of
North America, 5000; Schley a. Hopkins,
Georgia Home Insurance Company, 5000
The damage to the building Is estimated
at $500. 1t is a part of the Lyons block
and is fully insured.
The insurance men who examined the
damaged stock yesterday were all OF the
opinion that the odor which attracted so
was caused by turpentine. The smell was
still very perceptible yesterday. special
adjuster has been telegraphed for and is
eXneCted TODAY.

The Georgia and Alabama Surveying
Corps Pushing Its Surveys.

The engineers under Capt Hankins en-
gagged in making preliminary surveys for
routes from Lyons TO Savannah for the
Georgia and Alabama railroad have COM
pleted two lines direct between these
points. and have just begun to make sur
veys for two or three lines between Sa-
vannah and Meldrim. working from Sa-
vannah. This work viii probably be COM
pleted within a week.

Of cost Of construction. will be submit

the Lyons branch from Lyons TO Mel

The surveying now going on is for the
purpose OF putting the company in a
position where IL can begin building at
once in case II does not succeed in max

the Central for the purchase Of this prop
erty are stu pending.
The Georgia and Alabama claims 10
have made no promise with regard to
building its new line that IL has not put
itself in a shape 10 carry out fully. II is
stated positively, however, that the COM
pany has not yet secured a terminal in
the city.
1t was generally reported that 1t had Sc
cured the Deptford plantation for this
purpose, but one OF the attorneys said yes
terday that the report is a mistake. He
stated that the company would commence
to build at one end or the other very
soon now. 1t has rail enough right in
Savannah to build at least twenty miles.

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.
IL Was Spent Largely in Getting Back
Into the Routine of Life.

The city resumed the usual routine yes
terday, and with the exception of tired
look here and there, and the fact that
the bottom had gone out of the holiday
trade, there was no Indication that any
thing had happened.
A good many of the stores looked like
they were busy. but they were not. There
was some little trading. but there was
more exchanging of things purchased,
perhaps, than anything else, by people
who had failed to buy just what they
wanted.
The effect of Christmas was felt how
ever, and with many II was hard mat
ter to get right back into the regular
rum The board of trade remained closed,
and while the cotton exchange was open
very little business was done there There
was practically nothing done in the courts,
except, of course. the recorders court,
with which the day after Christmas is
one of the busiest of the year
The merchants are not complaining of
the business they did within the week
before Christmas day. II was fully up
to the usual run and better than it has
been for the last two or three years.
Prior to that time however, there was
very little done, and from now on the
indications are there will be very little
doing until everything gets back on a
normal basis

OFFENDERS LET OFF EASY.
The Recorder Dealt Leniently with
Christmas ViolatOrs.

Recorder Wilson presided in the police
court yesterday morning and spent over
three hours in disposing OF the half a
hundred arrests before him. The record
er was disposed to be lenient and about
half the number were allowed to go
without fine. Small fines were imposed
in the majority of the remaining cases.
The free-for-all row which occurred at
Broughtofi and Drayton streets Christ
mas even was investigated at some length
by the recorder. The evidence was badly
mixed and II was hard to make head or
tail of il. The case was continued for
further investigation.
There were very few arrests for viola
ton of the fireworks ordinance and only
three fines were imposed. A boy was fined
81 for discharging fireworks in the pro-
hibited limits, young white man was
fined 81 for building a bonfire In Whit
field square and a negro boy was fined
81 for a similar offense.
