Water Commission VIII Be Asked to
Lay Them on River Street.
The Fire Commission will likely make
an effort very soon to get larger water
mains on River street. Sundays fire
proved the present main to be altogether
insufficient for heavy demand. The mat
ter lies with the Water Commission, be-
fore which facts will be laid
On river street, where a great deal of
valuable property is located, there is a
6-nch main. The main on Indian street.
which runs parallel with River street, is
but four inches, while hat on Indian
street lane is sixteen inches. The River
street main has a dead end short dis
lance below Mcguire street, so that when
an engine works at West Broad and In.
dian, the water is almost entirely taken
up, as was evidenced at the rice mill fire
a larger main in the place of the small
one could be connected with the Pinch
main at Bay and West Broad. which 1t
Is believed would remedy the matter.
Inc commissioners say there was no
lault whatever in the pressure or supply
OF water from the works, but the shortage
was due entirely to the small mains in
the district of the fire What action the
wafer commissioners will take is not
known as the condition of affairs has not
Eet peen officially conveyed to them.

WANTS FEVER CAMP AT ATLANTA
Physician of the City Trying to Sc
cure Its Location There.

Atlanta, Ca, June 20-If there is any
thing on earth that Atlanta does not want
which promises to attract atteption to
her, nobody could guess what it is.
After asking for everything in sight since
the commencement Of army organization,
from the general headquarters down to
the regimental recruiting station, hospital
and prison for captured Spaniards, this
inherent disposition to claim share in
everything going has now cropped out In
a new and novel place.
Atlanta wants the government to es-
tablish yellow fever camp here. At
least DR.. ]. f. Alexander, president Of
the board of health, thinks that Atlanta
wants this pestiferous distinction, and
with this idea in mind he has written a
letter to Senator Bacon suggesting that
he present Atlanta's advantages to the
authorities.
1t is hardly likely that there will be
much competition for this doubtful at
traction. Other cities are more than likely
to let Atlanta have the fever camp with
out a dispute, II she really wants It,
There is a doubt, however, that DR.. AL
exander has properly sounded the public
mind and It would not be at ali sur
prising If other people should enter pro-
test in case 1t appears that the govern
ment authorities take DR.. Alexanders in
vitation in good faith.
open gates during the yellow fever epi-
demic last year cost Atlanta more trou-
bic than the "ad' came to. DR.. Alexan-
der's idea is that yellow fever cannot pos
sibly live in Atlanta's climate and upon
this he urges the introduction of the fever
camp here.

THEIR Loss ABOUT COVERED.
Nj. 5. and ID. a. Byck Pretty Well
Protected by Insurance.

Protected by insurance.
NIessrs. NJ. 5. and d. A. Ryck stated yes
tsrdav that the total insurance on their
stock of stationary and fixtures, which
was damaged by fire Sunday, amounts 10
$4,000. which they believe comes near Gov
ering the loss Just what amount of stock
was on hand at the time is unknown, and
will probably not be ascertained for some
days.
The policies were all issued by companies
of the Southeastern Tariff Association,
none OF them being for over $1,000, while
some are for smaller amounts. 1t is likely
the companies will take steps at once to
adjust the loss.
Further investigation failed to throw
auv light on the origin of the fire. The pos
sibility of lightning being conducted into
the building by live wires connected either
10 the incandescent lights or the electric
motor, is thought by some to be the cause
OF il. Lightning has no fixed rules as to its
action and its conduct into the store is by
no means impossible. There is nothing to
indicate this co be the case, however, since
the lamp near where the fire started was
so completely demolished that evidences of
Tightening passing through could not be
detected This light is supposed to have
been extinguished when the fire broke out,
as Wen as all others, but WhensAssistant
Chief Mouro and his men tore open the
basement doors from the lane entrance an
electric light was found burning there. 1t
was at first thought TO be fire. but an eX-
animation showed it was the light
Another theory is offered to the effect
that matches, which were at times used in
looking around the shelves, may have
been left there. Insurance men compli-
mented the department very highly on the
careful manner in which the fire was
handled The blaze reached the closets
on the floor above, and was making
its way between the ceiling about the time
water was turned on. 1t is not spoken of
as a fortunate thing for the fremen, but
as the result of quick, skilful manage
ment. The fire commissioners were
pleased with the work, and incidentally
complimented Assistant Chief Mouro and
all members of the department
The fact that the firm, which suffered
the loss, is composed of Messrs. M. S. &
D. A. Byck, and was alluded to as Byck
Bros, led some people to confuse the firm
with that of Byck Bros, shoe dealers, No.
% West Broughton street. The latter firm
is entirely distinct from M. S. & D. A.

EXPOSITION STAMPS IN MARKET.
$4,000 Received Yesterday by the
Savannah .Postoffice.

Postmaster Doyle yesterday received a
consignment of 5000 worth of Omaha ex-
position stamps, ranging in denomina lions
from l cent to 81.
These are special issues intended to COM
memorate the great Mississippi En-
position. There will be a large demand
for them from stamp collectors. For a
few days they will attract the interest and
attention of the general public. After
that they will be, like the Columbian Ex>
position stamps, soon forgotten
No one need expect to make money out
of the stamps through future premiums
paid for them. The issue is too large for
them to become rare for many years.
