SECOND GEORGIA MAY MOVE SOON
RumOrs That Gen. Henry's Division
Has Been Ordered on Transports.

RumOrs That Gen. Henry's Division
Has Been Ordered on TRANSPORTS,
There are rumors ahoat here that the
Second Georgia and other regiments at
Tampa have received orders to be prepared
TO board transports on short notice.
Just what transports the regiment will be
placed upon is not known or when these
transports will be ready 10 receive the
troops. The fleet which left Port Tampa
several days ago, and whose destination is
still matter of conjecture, as such in
formation has not been officially advanced
may furnish the boats that are to take
Col Browns command, or other transports
recently acquired by the government may
be used.
1t is rumored that the entire division Of
SIX regiments under Gen. Guy V. Henry
has received Instructions similar 10 these
of the Second Georgia. These brigades are
made up as follows: Gen. John N. An
drews is in command of the brigade, com
posed Of the Second Georgia, and Third
Ohio, and the SiXty-Ninth New York. and
Gen. Kline commands the brigade con-
slsting OF the Fifth Ohio, Thirty-second
Michigan and the First Florida. The divis-
ion is short one brigade and it is currently
reported that the Eleventh and Sixteenth
regulars, and some volunteer regimen viii
constitute this brigade

The four companies from the Savannah

MUST COME UP TO THE LAW.
Plumbers ON the Docket for RefGs-
ing to Conform 10 Ordinances.

RUNNERS ON the Docket Tor HeHHS-
ing to Conform 10 Ordinances.
The first step against plumbers, who de-
cline to make alterations in work to con-
form to the ordinance, has been taken to
placing a well-known firm on the police
Information docket. The case is 70 come
before Recorder Ravenel this morning.
1t has been expected all along that pro-
ceedings would be necessary against some
Of the plumbers, who declared they would
not make any change on account of al
legged confusion into which they were led
by the delay in appointing the inspector.
They claim that while it was known the
ordnance was passed, no inspector had
been appointed to look out for violations,
from which they got the idea the law
need not be compiled with. AS soon as
this objection was raised, Inspector Cos
grove at once referred the matter to City
Attorney Adams, who said the case was
almost too clear to be worth giving an
opinion on. The ordinance must be COM
piled with, he said, and the fact that no
one was appointed to prosecute Violators,
did not warrant transgressions.
There seems to be an odd feature to
the fight on the plumbing ordinance. 1t
was drawn by the consent, and introduced
at the instance, of a large number of the
Plumbers Association, several members
of which now form the opposition. The
DIRECTORS were among a number who as
sembled at the City Exchange with the
public health committee, and went over
the proposed ordinance section by sec
ton, endeavoring to make its provisions
satisfy all. There was no objection at the
time, but since ats passage, the muddle
arose, which now threatens a little fight,
the gist of which is whether the city
shall enforce It's ordinances.
Inspector Cosgrove regrets the necessity
Of placing plumbers on the information
docket but there remains nothing else
to do If he fulfills his duty. He believes
the decision of Recorder Ravenel in the
present case, however. will have the eff
feet of settling the dispute, since no one
would likely go into court where there
is such a precedent against them.

Loss OF THE HABERsHAM MILL.
MIR. Habershnn Learned of 1t When
He Went to Make Tax Returns.

MIR. Habersham Learned of 1t When
He Went to Make Tax Returns.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the fire
that had been smouldering since the day
before at the Habersham rice mills, quick
ened up again and burned some little time
before the firemen who were on duty there
succeeded in extinguishing 1t.
Mr.. William Neyle Habersham, who
owns the greater part of the property, was
at his White Bluff residence and knew
nothing of the fire of Sunday until ne was
informed by Mr.. j. J. Dale yesterday
morning at the court house, where he had
gone for the purpose of making his tax re-
turns on the very property that had been
destroyed. This was Mr. Habersham >
first animation of the disaster, and he
went to work at once TO adjust the losses.
Messr. Bond, Harrison & Co. suffered
a loss of from 1880 to $1,000 on several
covered by insurance Mr. j. f. Harri-
son is out of the city, having sailed Sat
urday for New York.
It is not probable that the rice mill
will be rebuilt. The rice industry has de-
clined to such an extent in this vicinity
that the receipts are hardly more than
enough for one mill to handle.
The lot on which the property stood
would be valuable terminus for a new
railroad that might want to enter the
city. An offer was made for the property
some years ago by a proposed railroad
company but 1t was declined by the own
ers OF the rice mill and the railroad was
not built to this city.
