THE DAY WITH THE POLICE.
over Fifty Arrests Made During
Christmas Time.


The police certainly had a day of it.
over fifty arrests were made up to 2
O'Clock this morning and the police wagon
was still running The indications are
that the number of prisoners which will
appear in the police court this morning
will break all previous records for one
days work Of the department.
Mayor Myers presided at the police court
yesterday, and disposed of forty-seven
cases in exactly one hour and ten min
utes. The swiftness with which the mayor
transacted business almost took the
breath of the crowd, and it was strong
breath, too. The mayor was in a good
humor, and about half the prisoners got
off without fines, and the majority of the
fines imposed We're light.
The large number of arrests made yes
terday and the day before was due to the
fact that one-half the force was always
on duty and the police, acting under in
structions of the chief, We're unusually
have been more arrests, but the force did
dts duty. Both the open and closed wag-
ons were kept running. Sometimes both
wagons would come in at once, each with
load of prisoners, chiefly DRINKS. With
the exception of the killing in Frogtown
in the morning, there were no really Sc
rious cases A few of the prisoners who
had fighting 1ags on will have very sore
heads this morning, as the result of con-
tact with the officers clubs
Only a few arrests for violation of the
fireworks ordinance were made. Two or
three parties Were arrested for starting
bonfires. There were several determined
attempts TO have bonflres in spite of the
police A lot of tar and rosin barrels were
piled together at East Broad and Brough-
ton streets. The barrels made an elegant
blaze and was too big for the police to
kick to pieces. The fire gained such head
way that the firemen from No. / engine
house had to be called out to extinguish
it. The Yamacraw boys started a fire at
Margaret and West Broad streets, which
was extinguished by the police. The BOYS
in the neighborhood of St. Josephs in
Urinary piled UP a lot of barrels in the
square opposite the infirmary late in the
afternoon. The intentions of the boys
were good, but the police came along and
captured the barrels and hauled them in to
the police barracks.

TO END The REcEIVERSHIP.
AR. CRAWFORD HERE TO GET SOME
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION.

Finding Out the Cash Assets and LA
buities of the Receivers With a
View to winding Up the Whole Re-
ceivership as soon as Possible
AppIication to the Courts with
That End in View Likely to BE
Made Very soon.
The reeeivership Of the Central Railroad
and Banking Company will probably be
dissolved within ten days or two weeks
or Just as soon thereafter, as the neces-
sary papers can be put in shape and pre-
scented TO the court.
This matter has been taken actively in
hand by the attorneys interested in the
LITIGATION. and the work Of bringing the
receivership to an end is progressing rap
idly. The visit OF Mr.. Henry Crawford,
counsel to the reorganization committee,
was quite significant in this connection
Mr.. Crawford spent several days in Sa-
vannah, his object being to find out just
what the cash assets and liabilities Of
the receivers are. as a preparatory step
10 winding up the whole receivership as
soon as possible.
Mr. Crawford secured all the necessary
information with reference TO the status
Of the receivers accounts, and has re-
turned to New York. Preparations will
no doubt be made at once to apply TO the
court for a termination Of the receiver
ship. Judge Don A. Pardee has jurisdic-
ton Of the matter. and it will go before
him. When the arrangements have been
made he VIII pass an order for the con-
solidation Of the assets Of the receivers
with those Of the new company, which
VIII also assume the liabilities of the re-
ceivers, and they will receive their final
discharge. Those properties that nave not
vet been disposed OF VIII, OF course, re-
main in the hands of the court until they
are formally turned over 10 the new com
pany.
received with regard TO the permanent or
ganizatiOn OF the new company, though
tt will probably be brought about when the
receivership is disposed of, IL not carrier
All Of the operations OF the properly
since Nov / are under the administration
of the new company, and II has charge OF
the receipts and expenditures. The con-
tinuance Of the receivershIp was neces-
sary on account Of the fact that there
are some accounts which existed prior 10
that date, which IL takes one, two or
three months TO settle. The majority OF
these have been disposed Of, and the re-
ceivership has about accomplished Its
work.
The new securities were looked for last
week, but so far they have not been dis
tributed, nor has there been any nouce
as to how and when the distribution would
be made, except through a private letter
received here, which stated 1t would be
through the New York Guaranty and In
demnity Co. Further than this nothing has
vet been heard The income bonds in eX-
change for stock and debentures are
about the only securities that Will be dis
tributed here to any extent.

A CLOTHING FIRE.
A Part of ID. KOhIer's stock Destroy
ed This Morning.

ed This Morning.
Fire in David KohIer's clothing store. at
40 Broughton street at 1870 o'clock this
morning did several thousand dollars
worth Of damage to the stock. The fire
was discovered by Policeman Tom Farrell
in passing along the street. The first in
timation he had Of the fire was the burst
ing and breaking of the glass in one of
the second floor windows. followed by a
column Of flame and smoke. He immedi-
ately turned in an alarm from box 13,
at the corner of Broughton and Whitaker
streets. When Chief Puder arrived and
saw that the fire was in the middle OF the
block, he had a call sent in for the COM
panies in the southern section of the city.
He knew that If the fire should cOmmuni-
cate to the adjoining buildings the whole
force would be needed The firemen made
their entrance by breaking out panel of
glass in the street door and at once To-
Gated the fire on the second floor. The
chemical hose was carried in by the nrst
floor through the store, while stream OF
water was turned on from one OF the sec
ond story windows. The chemical engine
worked 10 a nicely and the fremen soon
had the blaze under control. Very little
water was used and three doses OF the
chemical sufficed to entirely extinguish
the fire.
All the stock of clothing on the second
a total loss. The stock on the first floor
was slightly damaged by water. There was
very little stock on the top floor. No es-
innate of the damage could be obtained
last night, as Mr.. Kohler had not arrived
when the Morning News reporters left
the scene at 2:15 O'clock.
The fire APPARENTLY originated in lot of
clothing at the head of the stairway
leading up from the first floor. There
was a strong smell Of naphtha or gasolene
about the place. This was one of the first
things noticed by the firemen on entering
the building Chief Puder thought that
this smell might have originated from the
burning rubber goods. 1t was also thought
that the odor might have been caused by
naphtha or some similar substance used
for cleaning the goods. The cause of the
fire will be further investigated to-day.

KAvANAUGH TOOK "a DRAPD
As n Result He VIII he Before the
Recorder This Morning.

John Kavanaugh, the whisky spy
who has established his reputation as
such both in Savannah and Jacksonville,
will confront the recorder this morning.
Notwithstanding his antipathy to liq-
uor, Kavanaugh took aboard a consider
able quantity yesterday and when found
at the corner of Bay and East Broad
streets by Policeman John Farrell last
night was suffering with a large-sized
Jag. Farrell sent him in on the charge
OF being drunk and disorderly.
When taken into the station house
Kavanaugh acted like a crazy man. Sta
tionkeeper Kelly and Driver Pitts had a
lively time of IL putting him into a cell.
As the result Of this. further charges
were preferred against him Of assaulting,
cursing and striking an officer while in
the discharge Of his duty.

/ Hon, Asa A. Parker, an eminen
judge Of the circuit court at Ontonagon
\ Michigan, in letter this week to hi
nephew, Ezra A. May Of Matney Flat
among other things says that the GLoBp
! (Which Mr.. May has had sent to his ad
dress for the last four years. is the mos
interesting and brightest little country
paper he has ever seen; that it triple
discounts any paper published IN that
city Of over 5000 inhabitants. This
opinion, from one who is 50 thoroughly
competent to judge in such matters, il
indeed very encouraging to us. And
yet the subscription price Is 50c less
than that Of any other paper ia this
county. Now is the time to subscribe.
The regular annual school election
vas held Monday. Charley Gross was

three directors now are, w. s. Myers,
John Maddox and G. w. Gross. Ii
was decided to close the principals de-
partfnent Of the school at the end OF the
9th nonth--a week from today, Mch. Is,
owing TO a lack Of funds with which to

the directors.
Nearly every week lot Of poorly-com-
posed poetry, long memoriams and ac-
counts Of deaths are sent us for publca-
ton, sometimes the subjects Of which
was buried several months before. U.s.
ually such news is not Of general inter
est to the public, and for that reason
and several others we have not encourag-
ed such communications In fact nearly
all newspapers consider such things adj
vertising matter and charge for same
regular advertising ates-from to Zoe
per line. The GLOBE has never charged
for such advertising, and does not in
tend TO; but it reserves the right to re-
ject. il II chooses, any matter Of that
kind that is not Of general interest to
the public. A death notice not to ex-
coed 5 or 10 lines is quite sufficient IN
the majority Of eases.
