The Famous FiIibusterer sno,.en &c

The Famous FiIibusterer SpoIxen Of,
Tybee by the Pilot Boat EstiII.
The steamer Dauntless, which left here
Sunday morning, and was suspected of
having gone on an expedition to Cuba.
was spoken yesterday morning at
o'clock, off Tybee bar by the pilot boat
j. Fl. Estill. Capt. Daniels who piloted
a bark to the city stated that the Daunt-
less came close 10 the pilot boat and smoke
her during thick fog. He was positive
that the tug was the Dauntless.
In the report from Fernandina. that a
tug supposed to be the Dauntless. having
left that port Monday morning with an ex-
petition, some other boat may have been
taken for the Dauntless. If the later
went to Cuba, she finished up her lob in
a very short length of time,
Some knowing ones ventured the asser-
ton yesterday that the Dauntless had her
expedition on board at the time she smoke
the pilot boat, and showed herself only
for the purpose of creating the impression
that she is at sea on the lookout for in
coming vessels. There are a number Of
vessels due to arrive and with the favora-
BILE wind which prevailed yesterday. IT is
expected they will come in in a day or
two.

HOT ASHES IN A BARREL.
Caused an Ugly Fire in the screven
House Basement.

Caused an Ugly Fire in the Screven
House basement
What might have been a very disastrous
fire was extinguished in its incipiency at
the Screven House yesterday afternoon.
Fire broke out in a rubbish room, just in
the rear of a kitchen in the basement
about 4;SO o'clock, caused by throwing hot
ashes and Goals into barrel.
The smoke filled the kitchen and imme-
diately caused great excitement. An
alarm was turned in from box 81 in front
of the hotel by one of the porters. Fire
man Walker of headquarters was sitting
in the Screven House reading room, being
off duty He ran down into the basement
and threw a bucket of water on the blaze
A few more bucketfuls put an end to 1t.
and when the firemen arrived there was
nothing for them to do except to empty
a hand eXtinguisher on bed of hot ashes
The alarm caused great excitement and
a big crowd gathered around the hotel in
a very short time The place where the
hre originated was a genuine fire trap, a
lot of old barrels and boxes being piled in
a room just back of the kitchen, the ashes
from the range being thrown into these
barrels. When Chief Mcguire saw the
place he notified Proprietor Dub that IL
must be cleaned out at once. Fire In
spector Thompson was notified to see that
1t was done. The manner in which the
flre had its origin was so plainly evident
that there could be no suspicion of incen-
diarism.

the Recorder on a similar charge, which
had been preferred the day previous. Kelly

The damage suit of Mary Wren against

death of her husband, who fell down an
elevator shaft in the Savannah Grocery
Company's store, where he was employed
as head porter and lost his life thereby
The accident occurred Aug. 10, 1895. The
door to the elevator shaft had been left
open, and Wren who was closing the win

fell to the floor below. His wife claims that
the elevator was out of order, and that
there was other negligence on the part of
the company in that the door was not clos
ed. The trial will be concluded to-day.
