The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-01-30

Considerable time has passed since the
notices to attach fire escapes went out. but
up to now, none have made move toward
complying with the ordinance. This is
probably due to the fact that Alderman
Krouskoff has introduced an ordinance in
lieu of the old, which requires the es-
capes, or ways of egress, to be arranged
only in cases of imminent danger. The or
dinance as introduced requires the attach
ment of escapes from the third story of all
business buildings where per-
sons are engaged on the
third floor. This will excuse many
to whom Chief Mcguire issued notices be-
cause there are no employees on the third
floor. There are several large establish
ments on the list however, that come
within the new ordinance and they will
have to comply according 10 the terms of
the notices already sent out by the chief.
II have no personal interest IN the mat
ter" said Chief Mcguire, ''but this matter
of precautions against loss of life in case
of fire is a serious one and l am bound
by law to see that it is given attention.
Heretofore the ordinances on the question
have been violated and intend to perform
nv duty, whether the escapes are attached
or not. There is no question about all
good citizens doing their duty in this re-
gard when the Council assumes some deli
mite stand on what's wanted"

On Wednesday morning the men at
work for the Monmouth Traction Com
pany attempted to plant a pole in front of
the railroad station at Bordentown A
hole had been dug and the pole was just
about to be put in it when man sudden
ly appeared and took the place intended
for the pole. Before the trolley men had
recovered from their surprise another
man took position beside the first one.
They were employees of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and were endeavoring
to prevent the erection of a trolley pole on
the railroad property
There was brief struggle, in which,
without loss of life or shedding of blood
the railroad men secured their point and
the pole was not placed in the position
designated for it.
On Friday the struggle was renewed.
This time the Mayor was on hand to aid
the Traction Company. With him were
some special officers he had sworn in for
the occasion, and when the representa-
tives of the railroad company appeared
under the leadership of Supervisor Potter,
the Mayor promptly ordered four of them
arrested. They were afterwards released
on their own recognizance, and the pole
was put in the ground An attempt was
made to cut it down, but not successfully
and then the representatives of the two
companies had conference which re-
suited in the pole being taken from its
original position and being placed in an
othre spot.
That did not settle the affair." however,
as Mr. Potter brought suit against Mayor
Gilbert and City Marshal Jobes for false
Imprisonment the damages being fixed al
$4,000. The papers were served by
Sheriff Fleetwood, the defendants being
required to answer before Judge Magic, at
Trenton, on Monday next The constables
who were acting as special officers have
been put under bail at $50 each to answer
at the next term of court.

Steamship Burned at Sea.


The steamship Delaware, of the Clyde
line, bound from New York to Charleston
and Jacksonville, was burned and aban-
doned on Saturday morning off Cedar
creek, below Toms River She is a total
loss. Her passengers, 80 in number, and
the crew of 80 men were all saved
The Delaware left New York on Friday
afternoon at $50. At about $50 that
night fire was discovered in the cargo in
her after hold, supposed to have started
from spontaneous combustion. A desper-
ate effort was made to extinguish the fire,
but it kept getting worse until the fight
became hopeless
Captain Ingram then ordered the ships
four life boats lowered and the work of
getting off the passengers was begun.
Signals were displayed to attract the at
tention of the life-saving crews on the
beach, which were responded to promptly
Keeper Alexander Brinley, of Cedar creek
station No. 10, with crew of four men,
launched the heavy life boat and pulled
out five miles to meet the refugees and
relieve the ships overburdened boats.
About that time the sloop G. D. Miller,
a New York fishing smack, came up and
took on board number of women and
children from the ships life boat.
The ocean tug Storm King also came
along and took aboard the whole compile
ment of passengers and transported them
to New York
Capt Ingram and crew displayed much
GOODNESS and bravery while the fire was in
progress. The chief engineer, Platt.
stuck to his post until driven out by the
smoke and flames. Just as the last of the
men left the Delaware on raft, he
n i11tn ha orir
shut off steam, fearing that the boiler
might explode before the boats got safe
distance away.
Captain Ingram and crew were landed at
life station No. Is, whence they were
rowed across to Barnegat pier on Satur
day morning. They were furnished trans
portatiOn to New York by the Pennsyl
vania railroad, being penniless, having
lost all their belongings in the fire.
The passengers lost all their effects, and
were glad to escape with nothing but the
clothes they wore.
The Delaware was wooden steamship
built in Philadelphia in 1880. She was
$50 feet long, 81 feet beam, and 600 horse
power. She was of 1916 gross tonnage
She had just been refitted for passenger
service and this was the first trip after
being remodeled.
She had a general cargo of feed, corn,
sugar and other provisions and baled dry
goods consigned to Jacksonville, and sup
posed to be for government army supplies
A large quantity of saltpetre aboard ex
ploded with loud report at A. NJ
The vessel was off Cedar creek, about
five miles north of Barnegat Light, when
the fire began, but drifted north with the
current, and at noon on Saturday was still
sending forth great volumes of black
smoke to the north Of Sea Side Park
Mount Holly people at Sea Side Park had
an excellent view of the fire.
The beach from Sea Side Park to Point
Pleasant is strewn with wreckage from
the burned ship, consisting of charred
wood, bales, boxes and barrels of mer-
chandise, provisions, etc.
The steamer finally sank off Point
| Pleasant.

An alarm of fire in Mount Holly on Sun
day afternoon brought out large crowd
of firemen and spectators. The cause OF
the alarm was fire at the barn on Mon.
roe street, at the foot of White street,
owned by the Quicksall estate and occu
pied by Thomas F. Cavanaugh.
The cause is unknown, but the fire is
thought to have resulted from the careless
use of matches or from cigarettes smoked
by some boys who are said to have been
in the barn.
When the tiremen reached the scene the
stable was a mass of flames, and surround
ing property was in danger Parsons
stable was on fire several times but was
saved by prompt attention of the hosemen.
The house opposite also took fire but was
soon extinguished.
A fire hydrant that had just been put in
on Saturday, within about thirty feet of
the building destroyed, rendered an eff
cient stream.
In less than half an hour the flames were
drowned out and the excitement was over.
Two horses, the harness, wagons, etc,
were rescued. The loss to Mr.. Cavanaugh
is about $25
The loss to the barn is about covered
by the insurance of $500. Only a few
days before the insurance had been cut
down from $500 to $780,
