OPEN DOOR SAVED EXPLOSION.
SNAGBOAT TOCCoA BURNED WITH
$50 POUNDS OF DYNAMITE.

Magazine Door Had Been Left Open
on Account of the Heat and the
UncOnhned Powder Burned Instead
of ExDIOding-The ToccOa Caught
Fire at Night and Burned to the
Waters Edge-NarrOE Escape Of
the Crew.
The United States snagboat Toccoa was
burned to the waters edge at Kings
creek, 1eS miles up the Savannah river, be-
tween midnight Wednesday and daylight
Thursday morning. The boat is a total
loss, except her machinery. part, and
possibly all, of which may be saved.
BY a fortunate exercise of care on the
part of one of the officers the door of the
powder magazine had been left open he
day before and 7D pounds of dynamite
burned instead of exploding with ire
mendous force, as it would have done had
the magazine been tightly closed.
The ToceOa was a powerful boat She
cost $4,000 when built nine years ago and
had just been rebuilt at cost of 5000
and had been at work at Kings creek but
a few days
The fire started underneath the boiler It
broke out soon after midnight when the
crew, except the watch was asleep. There
We're fourteen people on board and as soon
as the fire was discovered they were
awakened. The flames spread with such
rapidly that most of them barely had
time to get out of their hunks and into
the boats. Everything was left behind
and the men saved nothing but the few
ciotehs they had on. How the fire start
ed is unknown. The engineer was in the
engine room a II o'clock and everything
was all right then. Capt. ]. G Garnett was
in charge of the boat and was unable to
account for the fires origin. AS soon as the
officers could get ready they left for Sa-
vannah, and arrived early yesterday morn
ing, and reported The burning of the Toe
Goa to Capt. c. L. Gillette.
Tho snagboat Satil,a will leave this
morning for Kings creek 10 see what can
be done with the wreck of the Toccoa.
When the fire burned her lines she broke
from her mooring and drifted down the
river two miles or more Part of the crew
remained by to look after the wreck until
the Satlila arrives.
The leaving open of the powder maya
zine saved the boat from total destruc-
NAS'4' AiS W iARiiA-NC sun GU lItit WAS TO De
used in Blowing up Instructions. If a
stick" of unconfined dynamite is ignited
it simply burns with blue flame If con-
fined, however, and ignited, 1t explodes
with tremendous force. The day before the
steamer burned one of the officers opened
the magazine and found the heat inside
SO great that he was fearful of an explo-
sion, and left the door open for the air TO
circulate. To this fortunate circumstance
is probably due the safety of the lives of
all on board Had the $50 pounds of expIo-
sive .gnited with the magazine closed there
would have been very little left of the boat
and probably none who were on board TO
tell the story.

CITY MARSHAL TO MOVE THEM.
Alderman Dixon 10 Furnish Him List
of EncrOachments on Streets.

Chairman Dixon of The street and lane
committee was authorized at a recent
meeting of Council TO furnish the city
marshal with a list of entertainments on
the streets, with directions for that off,
cial to do his duty by proceeding 20 have
them removed. The marshal gives what
he considers to be fair notice, after which
he has the entertainments torn down if
they are not removed by the property
owners.
Enough attention has not been given
by the city heretofore to this matter or
encroachments," he said, yesterday. 1T
does not seem to be generally understood
neither, that every stoop and other en-
croachments built into the streets has
been on the express condition that the
city may order them removed at any
time. Those whom we are after now,
however, did not even ask permission to
encroach, as others had done The first
thing the city knew was that the property
owners had built into the street either at
the ground or ON some of the upper
fioors.'
1t is not understood to be the purpose
of the city to work any hardships on
property owners, but the encroachments
will have to be removed without unneces-
sary delay. The stir that has resulted
from the present efforts of the authorities
TO stop encroaching will likely have the
effect of putting a damper upon it in fu-
ture. The large number of permits the
city has heretofore granted allowing
houses built out over the street lines has
doubtless left many property owners un-
der the impression that their actions are
justifiable.
