and then 1t gave the details.
Wistfully they glanced at it, and now
and then one of them would climb the high
stone steps and ask where do you go to
enlist?" About twenty applicants made
their way to the branch photographic Of
flee in the Custom House during the day,
where they sought information with re-
gard to getting into the navy.
Lieuts. V. o. Chase and r. B. Higgins,
and DR.. Geo. A. Lung, past assistant SUR
geon, have temporarily established their

the fact that they had not received their
full official instructions yesterday, they
could not accept or examine any of the ap-
plicants These instructions will arrive
from Port Royal to-day, and Tomorrow
they will be prepared for all Corners.
The posters call for seamen from u 20

men from IS to 30 years old, at S19 per
month; chief machinists, 81 to 35 years old,
at $40 per month; machinists, first-class.

Lieut.. Chase, who is at the head of the
party of enlisting officers, said yesterday

good men here. They are willing to take
100 men or more if they can get them, and,
as stated in the Morning News yesterday,
most of the seamen secured, if not all OF
them, will be sent to the monitor Amphi-
trite, which is somewhat short of its
quota of seamen. The firemen and ma
chinists will so to other war vessels.
The regulations say the term of enlist
rnent is for three years. Persons enlisted
for the naval service must be of robust
frame, intelligent, of perfectly sound ana
healthy constitution, free from any physl-
cal defects or malformation, and not sub
ject to fits. Physical examinations are
made by naval surgeon at the place Of
enlistment. Persons are not enlisted as
landsmen If over the age of 25, unless they
possess some mechanical trade; nor after
80, even though possessing trade. No
person will be enlisted who does not I'M
derstand and speak the English language.
No allowance will be made for travelling
expenses whether accepted or not.
This being big sea port 1t is natural
to presume that seamen will be in evil
dence for service in the navy. The rates
of pay for seamen are about as good as
they get on vessels anywhere, and in
many instances better, though the re-
quirements are somewhat more strict.
Here are some of the requirements for
machinsts: A candidate for enlistment
as a machinist must be a machinist by
trade must know the Eames and uses
of the various parts of marine engines
and boilers, and must be able to perform
work with various tools in a machine
shop including bench work. He must
be able to write legibly and must under
stand arithmetic. He must be physically
sound and at the date of first enlistment
must be not less than q nor more than So
years of age. No person will be enlisted
as chief machinist unless he holds a per-
manent appointment as SUCH The ex-
animation of candidates for enlistment as
machinists, regarding their knowledge of
engines and boilers. must be made in the
engine rooms of ships; and regarding
their knowledge of machine work. in the
workshops of navy yards. Chief machin-
lists Will have charge of engine room
watches and will be paid SO per month.
Machinists, first class, will IL qualified
be given charge of an engine room watch
when there are not a sufficient number of
chief machinists on board to perform this
duty. Machinists, second class, will be
assigned to duty as water tenders and
oilers All machinists will perform such
other duties as may be assigned them.
1t will be noted that the classes of men
most wanted are those whose service is
most important in the handling of a shin
They are the men who look after the shin
itself the machinery in the engine room
and elsewhere, and the boilers and fires.
COOKS, musicians buglers, painters, sail
makers and such classes are not in de-
mand' at least not to any great extent BY
the end OF next week 1t Is probable the en-
listing officers will know Just what sa-
vannah is going to do for them, though
they may remain for some time to catch
Others who may come along.

FIERCE FIGHT WITH A RACCooN.
Desperate Encounter Takes Place in
Noted st. Louis saloon.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
St. Louis, Mo.-Pistol shots, crashing
glass and strange cries awoke the neigh
borhood of Twelfth street and Washing
ton avenue at 915 o'clock yesterday
morning. Long-drawn walls, unlike any
thing ever heard by the thrilled listeners
rose from a low cultural to a wavering
cresendo and died slowly out like the last
cries of wounded and almost exhausted
being. Shot after shot and repeated
crashes occurred before officers Finan and
Bunting reached the place on the run from
Fifteenth street and Washington avenue
They hurried into the Klondike saloon
with drawn revolvers.
Crouched on an ice box with smoking
pistol in one hand and a club in the other
was Frank Beared, the bartender, his face
and fingers smeared and his hair clotter
with blood. His clothing was torn to
shreds. On the bar, about to spring to
the ice box, was a wild raccoon that had
been captured In the woods and mprison-
ed in a cage in the saloon until liberated
by accident an hour before. 1t was a
frightful battle that the man and beast
had fought
For Gods sake, kill it! 1 can't" yelled
Beared.
At that moment the animal, with flu
rious snarl, dashed against the upper part
of the ice box. 1t still had all the pent-up
power and anger a raccoon shows when
pounced upon by dogs. The policeman s
revolvers rang out and they rushed upon
the animal with their clubs. It's additional
danger only increased its frenzy and it
sprang upon Bunting's chest and knocked
him down. Its keen claws ripped his
coat open as he rose and the shouting
was renewed. Fifteen shots were fred
seven of which pierced the enraged ami
mails body before it showed signs of relin-
gushing the unequal combat. Then the
policemen Drained it with their clubs.
Beared was wounded in dozen places
The fight began shortly after the beast
got out of its cage. 1t appeared tracta-
BILE enough until Beared attempted to drive
1t from behind the bar. The interior of
the saloon was a wreck when the fight
ended. over 500 worth of glass was de-
stroyed, chairs and tables were overturn-
ed and there were blood stains everywhere
Beared was so badly iacerated that he
feared blood poisoning and an antiseptic
treatment was at once begun. He tainted
from loss of blood when taken from the
Ice box and was carried to his room over
the saloon.

BULL STREETS RAILWAY
VIII De Finished This Week-Gravel
Contract Not Yet Awarded.


The work on the temporary railroad
track which is to be used in the improve
ment of Bull street south of New Hous-
ton is being pushed with a great deal OF
energy. II will be connected with the
Plant SYSTEMS tracks at the White Bluff
road crossing, so that cars with the gravel
10 be used on Bull street can be trans
ported to any part of the street. The rails
will probably be laid to New Houston
street by the end of this week.
The contract for the gravel to be used
on Bull street has not yet been given out.
There are half dozen bids for as many
different kinds of gravel, and the street
and lane committee finds itself unable 20
decide. Although there Is considerable var
iation in the price, it is not this that the
committee is sticking over.
1t is feared that some of the gravel Of
fered would not prove satisfactory, and
the committee is determined TO select the
best without regard TO price. 1t is the
question of which is the best that is wor-
rying the committee now. Commissioner
Willink is making tests of the gravel
which has been submitted for inspection,
and will probably be able to make a re-
port TO the committee shortly. On wide
pavement like the one it is proposed to
place on Bull street, it is feared the gravel
will not give the same satisfaction as on
the narrow county roads, To present a
smooth, hard surface gravel requires to
be well packed, and this packing can
only be given by constant travel If there
should not be sufficient travel to main
tain a smooth surface the street might
become rough and broken on the less used
portions.
1t is for this reason that the committee
desires to secure a gravel which, having
been once well rolled and placed will re-
tain smooth surface. If the gravel con-
tanned too much clay this result would
not be obtained

Contractor willing to Turn Police

buildings over Separately.
Contractor Eason said yesterday that he
will turn the police guard house over to
the city, il desired, as soon as 1t is COM
p.eted. This. in all probability, means that
the police department Will be using its
own quarters again in about a month.
The Police Commission viii doubtless be
glad to get the building sooner, as the
present arrangement is not very conven-
tent to them, and is equally as inconven-
lent to the jail officials With the new ar
rangement The patrol wagon will go into
the barracks yard and near the door of
the guard house, where unruly prisoners
can be taken inside without difficulty.
The lower door and window frames Of
the front building were erected yesterday,
and gave the work a considerably ad-
vanced appearance The door and win
dows facing on Habersham street are OF
the arched style, and when enclosed with
the pretty, smooth brick, VIII give the
front an effect which win discount all the
other buildings on the barracks lot.
The brick being used are not pressed,
but are the same color. and have clean,
neat finish, which looks almost as good
as the pressed brick. The first shipment
from Atlanta was not altogether satisfac-
tory to the architects. and they ordered
others instead. The manufacturers took
especial care In selecting the last lot, the
result of which is that Contractor
Eason will be enabled to turn over much
better job to the city.

Turpentine Market Active and Fac
tors and Producers Happy.
The spirits turpentlne market is again
on boom. Unlike the squirt of two weeks
ago, the situation is OF a healthy charac-
ter, and there is no suspicion Of manipu-
lation.
When the market suddenly advanced to
80 cents gallon for spirits turpentin, and
just as quickly dropped to 80 cents, there
was reason for the demoralizing effect on
the market Northern jobbers were in
formed that the market had been bulled
for jobbing purposes, and they at once
withdrew from it. decline took place,
and the price dropped to 2715 cents about
ten days ago.
Although the weather has been especial
ly favorable for the production of the
crop, the receipts have been comparative
ly light During the past week there has
been a strong demand from all buyers in
the market, and from day to day the high
est bidder has secured the offerings.
Yesterday there was an advance of "a
cent on the day, the market closing
with sales being reported at 80 cents a
gallon.
Factors and producers are happy over
the situation, and are wishing that the ex-
port demand will keep up. and that the
result will be remuneratve prices for the
product all through the coming season.

FELLOW EMPLOYEES HELPED HIM.
Snowman Charged with Horse
Stealing Released by Recorder.

Stealing Released by Recorder.
With The attaches of circuses, 1t is said,
there is a strong friendship which lasts
as long as they are on the road together
This was clearly demonstrated in Police
Court yesterday, when W II. johnson, in
charge of the horses belonging to Harris
show, was arralgned for horse stealing at
Vidalia some time before he went with
the show.
The transaction between Johnson and
w. G. Mathews of that place seems to
have been the result of misunderstanding.
johnson bought a horse for sos, it was
claimed, and while he paid no money at
the time, he hypothecated watch and pis-
tol that We're considered sufficient security
for the amount. Before The money was
paid, however Johnson concluded he
would allow his creditor to take the gun
and ticker for the amount due on the
horse. He left to go with the circus, hav
ing already sold the horse.
Mathews endeavored to catch Johnson
after he heard of his departure Letters
were written to several places, and one
was received by Chief McDermott, partial

that the man be arrested if the show came
here. Shortly after the tents were pitched
Friday, Detective Barrett got Johnson and
placed him in Jail, TO await the coming of
an officer from Vidalia.
A constable appeared IN the court yes
terday to take charge of Johnson. Before
leaving he said he had been given in
structions by Mathews to release the man
if the $50 was paid. The recorder did not
care to hear this, however and turned the
prisoner over TO the constable.
johnson told the detectives he could
raise the amount among the employees of
the show If allowed to go there. Detec-
tives Scully and Shea went with him and
it was but short time until he got the
money, all the men responding, Proprietor
Harris included. 1t was paid to the Of

SMOKE RISING FROM MAUNA LoA.
Signs That BetOken Another Erup-

from the new 1Ork tribune.
Honolulu. March 15.-For the first time
in fourteen years smoke may be seen lis
ing from the summit of the lofty volcano
of Mauna Loa, on the Island of Hawaii
and experts say that this is a sure sign
of an eruption and a disastrous flow of
lava down the mountain side. Within the
last few years many valuable coffee plan
tations have been developed around the
alarmed over the prospect of a lava
stream which may ruin their property
Since the last great eruption in 1884 when
the lava stream came down within two
miles of Hilo, the volcano has been dead
Drs. Guppy and Friedlander. two Ger
man scientists have recently made a
study of Mauna Loa's craters. They say
that Kilauea's activity has ceased alto
gether during the last fortnight, and only
a thin blush vapor is rising. In the mean
time steam is pouring from the crater.
All previous flows of lava from Mauna
Loa have burst through the sides of the
mountain at an elevation of from 10000
to 1900 feet. Without warning a stream
of lava breaks n rent in the mountain side
and flows down into the fertile valleys
carrying death and destruction with IT,
Kilauea Is the crater inside of Mauna Loa
at an elevation of 1900 feet The fact that
Its recent activity has ceased Is regarded
as a bad omen, for the old natives say
this means a violent eruption of the lof-
tier crater near the summit.
