The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-03-01

In several New York courts fuel gave
out and as none could be delivered owing
to the deep snow, bailiffs broke up furni-
ture and kept everybody from freezing.
AS high as $25 per ton was offered one
coal dealer, but he was unable to deliver
the goods, having more orders than he
could fill. Two Brooklynites got into a
fight over ton of black diamonds. One
had paid for the coal, but neighbor head
ed off the teamster and deceived him into
dumping the fuel into his basement. Hence
the row.

MARLBOROUGH's PLACE.
1t Is without Salary. But Carries n
Noisy Title.
From the Chicago News.


From the Chicago News.
People have been commenting on the
Duke of Marlborough's appointment as
paymaster general as though he were re-
ceiving a snug sinecure. As a matter of
fact IL is a purely honorary position
which gives the Duke a decorative title
but entails no work and brings him no
income. At one time the paymaster gen.
eral was member of the ministry, but
that is not so now.
A famous paymaster general was Ed
mund Burke, 10 whom Lord Rosebery in
his speech on that occasion, had much
TO say about Burke, but made no mention
of Burke's fame as an entomologist. In
this connection there is an amusing story.
One day he was engaged In his London
house In eager pursuit of some peculiar
insect which had attracted his attention
when messenger arrived from the House
of Commons requiring his immediate pres
ence, in view of an important division on
which the fate of the government depend
ed. But he was not 10 be lured from his
favorite hobby, and kept the messenger
with his postchaise waiting so long that
when they reached the House ii was too
late for the division. BY a majority of one
the ministry of Lord Rockingham was
turned out of office. But for an attractive
insect LORD Rockingham would have re-
malned prime minister and Burke paymas-
ter general
Burke relieved the cares of office by
hunting insects. The Duke of MARI
borough has been hunting a ghost. Blen-
helm palace has not figured heretofore
among the haunted homes of England, but
1t seems as though 1t would have TO do so
for the future. The Dukes attention was
first called to the Bienheim ghost by an
American woman visitor, who awoke one
night, when staying there, with a strange
feeling, and was amazed to see a dazzling
light streaming from the hearth, though
the room was very cold. Then she heard
measured steps along the corridor and
ghostly knockngs at the door. The knob
was turned, and then, as the light went
out, the visitor tainted. On telling her
maid in the morning she learned that the
servants all regarded the place as
haunted. But a stronger confirmation was
forthcoming, for on her telling her ex-
perience at the breakfast table an intimate
friend of the Duke declared that the rea-
son why he had hurriedly left the palace
five years previously was that he had had
a similar experience. The Duke, who
heard of II now for the first time, slept
| in the room for a week, determined To
| challenge any ghostly visitant, but so far
| without having any unpleasant expert
| ence himself.

When the blizzard had moderated some
what in New York hundreds of teams were
put to work carting snow from the leading
thoroughfares. Among those who applied
for work at loading the carts was a wo-
man dressed in mans apparel and carry
ing shovel. She got job and was soon
at work with gang of men. They were
not long In discovering her sex, but said
nothing when she told them that she had
sick husband at home and that they had
no food. BY and by the foreman saw she
was woman and was compelled to dis
miss her, at the same time giving her all
the money he had with him. Her name
was not learned. Another woman drove
snow cart all day, saying she had to do
something to earn a living. She was in
woman's dress. and also concealed her
name.

Review.
The first smokeless powder that L made
in England was made in exactly the same
manner as the French. / had obtained a
quantity of true gun cotton, that Is, tri-
nitro-cellulose 0known sometimes as insol-
uble gun cotton, because it cannot be dis
solved In alcohol and ether like collodion
cotton di-nitro-cellulose.) Some of this
powder, when freshly made, produced
fairly good results, quite as good as those
produced by the French powder, but upon
keeping 1t a few months the grains lost
their transparency, became quite opaque
and hbrous, and 1t then burned with great
violence. Investigation showed that
about / to 2 per cent. of the solvent was
still In the powder when the first tests
were made whereas the drying out of this
last trace of solvent had completely chang
ed the character of the powder / then
added to this powder about per cent? of
castor oil, with the result that the castor
oil remained after the solvent had been
completely removed, so that the powder
would keep any length of time; indeed,
powder made at time QSS9) Is quite good

fight with Bob Aubrey a few days ago
She returned home Monday morning, Just
before noon, and when she entered her
home was Mortified to find her husband
dead in bed. The body was frozen stiff,
and it is believed at Fordsville that Pur-

burned out after he went to sleep and
that he was overcome by the cold and
frozen to death without ever waking.

The blizzard which swept over large
part of the East and South last week
abounded in strange incidents, a few of
them giving to the tremendous storm
touch of comedy, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. Charity was prompt and free in all
the large cities. One subscription was
given in New York under circumstances
not without a humorous side. James r.
Keene, the noted Wall street operator.
who was recovering from a few days ILL
ness, was chatting with some friends at
the Waldorf He suggested that
among them they chip i'm $4,000 to some
relief fund. Two of the others at once
offered 81 600 each, and Keene said: I'm
put in the other $1,000" He then telephon-
ed Mayor Van Wyck to arrange for the
use of the money. His honor said he would
talk 1t over with the charity commits
sioner. The party waited some time, but,
falling to get an answer, one of them took
the checks for $4,000 over TO a charitable
society. He had hardly gone before May
or Van Wyck telephoned Keene saying
he had put the latter down for IS 900 in a
fund to which Richard Croker had con-
tributed a like sum, and Tammany Hall
10000 keene was perplexed for an In
slant but answered, "All right" thus CIV
ing $4,000 instead of the 5000 he had in
tended.

Secretary AIger and half dozen other
prominent Michigan men, after attending
the big Union League banquet in Brook
lyn, took carriages to Jersey City and
boarded the midnight train for Washing
ton. Being tired they all Immediately
went to bed, expecting to wake up in
Washington. The train did not turn a
wheel until o'clock the next morning, and
it was twenty hours later before they
reached the capital
Never until the terrible cold spell was
the need of a new executive mansion at
Washington so emphasized. Employees
wore overcoats almost continually, and
