Notifications at Tybee. in Savannah har-
Dor. The Morning News correspondent
visited the war department yesterday and
had an Interview with the chief of engl-
neers. under whose supervision all work
on the coast defenses Is carried on. His
attention was directed to the fact that
Yenable Bros. of Atlanta have contracts
ed to build the emplacements for the four
s-inoh guns at a cost Of not more than
$4,000, This, together with the cost of
constructing a wharf on the north end of
Tybee island for the purpose Of landing
material win bring the total expenditure
for the work contemplated up to about
$15OO00. S

or revert back into the treasury. Gen.
Craighll discussed the subject with his
usual frankness and fairness, and at the
same time expressed warm interest in
the improvements at Savannah In passing,
he paid high compliment to Representa-
tive Lester for whom he entertalns N
warm personal friendship, which has been
cultivated during Col. Testers long ser-
vice on the river and harbor committee.
Gen. Craighll says there is no disposi-
ton to deprive Savannah Of her full allott-
ment for, as Secretary Lamont says in
his annual report, that Il is hoped that the
number of emplacements may be inereas-
ed by means Of savings made from some
OF the alottments, thus enabling addi~
tional emplacements to be constructed
When S2OOOO0 was allotted 10 Savannah,
for Tybee, the government could not fore
see that Venable Brothers would put in
such reasonable bid; besides Il Is nec-
essary for the government to reserve a
small portion Of the appropriation for the
expense Of supervision of the work In
the present instance, there is a balance of

Under the circumstances, immediate steps

the Democrat and Chronicle from Perry,
N. Y, says: "A whole family perished in
flame and smoke this morning in the ten

farm, situated about four miles northeast
of the village where resided the family
OF Luther Greenman, consisting OF the
husband, aged 40 years; Mrs. Greenmdn,
aged 81; Aimee, aged s; Lottie, aged 3, and
Arthur. a baby II months and a few days
old.
"The house was discovered in flames by
Mr. Thompson at GAS a. m. He rushed Tor
the building and knocked open the front
door, but was driven back by the fiamca.
which seemed to be IN possession Of the
whole interior. He then knocked open a
room window, and took hold OF Mr.. Green
man. who was burned so that the flesh
came off IN Mr.. Thompson's hands, and n
was all he could do TO drag out the corpse
He was then compelled to fee from the
house, the flames which came from The
window almost burning him. The house
was quickly destroyed.

bly, charred remains Of the family were

STRIKE OF THE D6cK LABoRERs.
Each side Claims to he Confident OF
Coming Out on Top.


Hamburg. Nov. 29.-The strike of the
dock labore-s and others employed in the
shipping trade continues and both masters
and men express themselves as confident
Of success There is no sign of break in
the ranks Of the strikers, Notwithstanding
the Importation OF foreign labor. The
leaders or the strike are working hard to
secure The adhesion of all the dock, harbor
ana wureifouHe employees and have succeed
ed In gaining many accessions to their
numbers. The warehouse men and the
men employed in the granares decided at
meetings held to-day to Join the strike in
order TO procure better wages for Them
selves and incidentally to help the men al
ready out.
The strike Is causing much delay In the
shipment OF water borne freights. The
sheds are more than full of goods awaiting
shipment but there is no telling when the
accumulations will be cleared away. Many
of the new men that have been employed
are not at all skilled In their work, and
this adds very materially to the delay IN
loading and dscharging vessels. 1t Is
believed that the claims OF chartered ves-
sells for demurrage will be large, and II
these are conceded or enforced a heavy ad-
ditionaI expense will be entailed by the
shipping men.
The Hamburg Nachrichten accuses Eng
lish agltators with causing the strike and
asks the members OF the various athletic
unions to take the place Of the strikers,
A dispatch received here from stock
holm says that the dock laborers union
there held a meeting to-day and decided
that Us members should not discharge
cargoes from Hamburg that are loaded
by "backlegs."
Emperor William has ordered that de-
tailed report be made to him as to the
causes and extent OF the strike.
Thus far the men on strike have behav-
ed IN an orderly manner but It Is evident
that the ship owners anticipate trouble
Of some kind, for they have requested the
naval authorities at Kiel to send marines
here
