men, which theory Is rather strengthened
by the fact that the executive officers
deemed the matter of sufficient import
ance to give it their personal attention.
Should similar action be taken by the
Southeastern Passenger Association in
Georgia, as rumored in railroad circles, the
effect would be disastrous to Savannah's
jobibng interests. The merchants are not
inclined to give the report credence and do
not believe such a serious move Is being
considered by the association. The com
mercial interests would not suffer as much
however, as the roads which entered into
such a deal. In the first place the Geor-
gia and Alabama Railroad is not identi-
fed with the Southeastern Passenger As
ISOLATION and would not, therefore, be
bound by the withdrawal. This fact would
make it altogether impracticable for the
Central Railroad, a member of the associa-
ton, to adhere to the withdrawal on ac-
count of the close competitive relation it
occupies to the Georgia and Alabama.
Each line reaches competitive points and
were the Central Road to withdraw
mileage tickets, the business would go
glimmering to the Georgia and Alabama.
Then, again, it is said such action by the
association would necessitate the mer-
chants of Georgia calling convention for
the purpose of bringing the matter before
the state Railroad Commission and posi-
bly, asking for a lower standard rate

FIRE INSPECTOR APPOINTED.
Frank III. Thompson of No. Engine
Co. to Look After Complaints.

90. to Look After Complaints.
The fire department now has a fire in
spector. whose business it is to inspect
buildings and investigate all reports Of
unsafe fire risks.
A complaint book has been placed In the
chiefs Office, where the inspector will
have his headquarters, at Indian and
West Broad streets, where all parties who
have any knowledge of dangerous viola
tons of the citys fire ordinances, or of
the ordinary rules of safety in such cases
are requested to come and enter their
complaints in order that these complaints
may be investigated by the inspector.
Heretofore the fire inspections have been
conducted by men detailed for the purpose
from the different engine houses, and for
NAL inspections of business buildings have
been made two or three times year. This
system has not given good results. The
fact that a storekeeper was made to re-
move waste paper and other combustible
material from under his cellar gratings
was no guarantee that the place would not
be in the same condition a week later and
remain so until the next inspection.
Fireman Frank II. Thompson of No. a
engine company has been appointed fire
inspector and has already begun his work.
Several complaints have already been in
vestigated with good results. The inspec-
tor will spend a part of his time in the
office for the purpose of receiving com
plants, but complaints can be made at any
time by entering in the complaint book.
The innovation is one which will doubt
less bring good results

DAUNTLEss AGAIN OFF.
Believed to Have Gone on Another
FiIibustering Trip.

The tug Dauntless, which has been en-
gagged in towing at this port during the
past month, is suspected of having gone
on another filibustering expedition. She
had been at Taggarts wharf for several
days taking on coal, and left Sunday,
presumably to go in search Of more bus
mess off Tybee bar.
On her way down the river she was
searched by officers of the revenue cutter
to that duty persistently, during the en-
tire time the Dauntless has been here
The Boutwell, was anchored at Fort
Oglethorpe and the Colfax at Venus
point The officers found nothing of a
suspicious character on board the tug and
allowed her to proceed. The fact that sew
eral filibusterng expeditions are reported
to have left the Northern ports and the
circumstance of the Dauntless having TAX
en- full supply of coal, gave the Spanish
authorities here ground for suspecting
that the famous flibuster had gone to
meet some vessel and take on board am
munition and arms to be transported TO
Cuba.
A telegram yesterday stated that the
a,
Fla, with a party on an expedition to
Cuba, presumably to meet the Dauntless
off the coast of Florida. This was an
other suspicious feature connected with
the departure of the tug from Savannah.
The Spanish officials became very much
exercised over the matter and yesterday
communicated with the treasury officials,
stating that the Dauntless had succeeded
in eluding the vigilence of the officers
here and had passed out of the harbor to
sea. The treasury department was also
informed that the Dauntless had a cargo
of arms ammunition and other supplies.
The treasury department at once notified
the custom officers and revenue cutters
along the coast to be on the alert and de-
tain the supposed ilibuster.
4 Fernandna, Fla. dispatch last night
stated that tug, supposed to be the
Dauntless, arrived there at 10:30 O'Clock
! the night before and proceeded at once
TO take on boxes and supplies, supposed
| TO be ammunition. Seventy Cubans ar
rived about u o'clock by special train
! and Immediately went aboard. Col Nunez
was said to be in command.
The Spanish consul at Fernandina ex-
! pressed doubts whether the expedition left
that port. The report of a tug with three
barees in tow, having left Bridgeport
Conn. sunday, with munitions of war
| intended for Cuba, also gave grounds fol-
| suspicion that the Dauntless is connected
! with that expedition

FIRE BUGS UGLY WORK.
A Charles street Tenement House
Set on Fire.


Set on Fire.
The detectives think they have some clue
upon which to work now in locating the
f1rebug who has been causing so much
damage in Savannah recently. An at
tempt was made to fire a house on Charles
street in the section known as Roberts
vile early yesterday morning, and the fire.
bug was almost caught in the act.
The firemen at No. engine house were
called out shortly before o'clock When
they arrived at the fire they found the
house occupied by Peter Blair (colored), in
a blaze and the one adjoining it, which
was unoccupied also on fire. The flames
had made little progress and were quick
ly extinguished.
There were evidences that coal oil had
been freely used before the fire was set
and an empty oil can, which had recently
contained oil, was found near by. The
hremen We're informed by parties in the
nelghborhood that a man had been seen
acung suspiciousiy in the neighborhood of
these houses and the minute the flames
Hashed up ran off. He was not recog-
nlzed, but was thought to be a negro. The
section in which the fire occurred is thick
~ built up with small frame houses and
with favorable circumstances a very dis
astrous fire might have resulted. The
matter was reported to the police and the
detectives visited the scene and secured
such Information as was to be obtained.

FRANKS ON sr, VALENTINES NIGHT
Merriment Led to Mischief in Many
Instances

ST. Valentine day was not quite so
busy a day for the postofice people as
they had anticipated il would be. A con-
siderable falling off in the number of val
entine letters was noticed. There were
enough, however. to make the mail car
riers wish old St Valentine had never
lived.
There were the usual carvings on last
night of prankish boys and girls The
prankishness was in many instances car
ried too far and resulted in the breaking
of windows, damaging of flower gardens
and injury to property in various ways.
Crowds of boys, many of them mischiev-
Gus lads, gathered in almost every section
of the city. Front gates were carried of
doorsteps and piazzas were piled UP with
brickbats, window blinds were pulled off
and,in some instances, flower gardens were
trampled upon and flowers were pulled uD
and destroyed.
The police kept lookout for any dis
orderly acts, but they were not able 10
keep up with the boys, who made the most
of their opportunities

HOW LANDS GO UP IN PRICE.
of "a Acres Once Sold for S4,4OO
Four Recently Brought $4,000.

The increase in value of suburban real
estate in and near Savannah can be es-
timated by an investment made by a
well known citizen in 1877. He bought
twenty-four acres of land for farming
and gardening purposes and also as a
place of public resort
The price paid was $4.4OO. The purchaser
kept the land intact until the city began
opening streets in the extension, when he
sold the street ways through the property
for about $4,000, and recently he has sold
building lots to the amount of $4,000. He
still has about twenty acres left a great
deal of which could be disposed of al
even higher prices than those named for
building purposes. This is irrefutable evil
dence of the value of and profit In land
interests in and about the city.
If the entire net work of protected
streets south of Anderson was opened and
few of them paved and others harden
ed and sidewalks put down on some of
them, there would be doubtless another
building and development movement.
such as has occurred whenever the au-
thorities afford modern city conveniences
