DRY DOCK WILL PAY.
That Is the Opinion of Mr.. w. e.
Q simpson, the Expert.

simpson, the Expert.
There is continued inquiry concern
ing the project for building a dry dock
al this port. It would be an adjunct
to the commerce of Savannah. the need
of which has been recognized for
years, and it is gratifying TO state
that the success of the present under
taking appears to be beyond question.
Capt. w. ". MackaIl. TO whose ener-
gy and enterprise is due the magnifi-
cent terminals OF the Seaboard Air
Line on Hutchinson's Island and the
handsome Union Station on West
Broad street, is the originator and
promoter of the dry dock project. He
has been at work on the details of the
undertaking for the past two years.
At the recent meeting of some of
those whom Capt Mackall has inter
ested in the enterprise was Mr.. w. E.
Simpson of New York. who, after
spending ten days in this city. left for
home last night. He will return 10
Savannah in about 3 month. Mir.
Simpson has had a lifelong experience
with dry docks, having built fifteen. in
d number OF which ne is interested. He
is. therefore. well able 10 judge of the
conditions appertaining TO this local
ity
While here Mr.. Simpson examined a
number of places suitable for the cree
ton of the proposed plant, and he
said that he had never visited a sea-
port where there were as many avail
able sites for a dry dock and ship
building plant as Savannah offers. OF
course some locations at which he
looked have advantages over others,
but there are a dozen places that
would suit the purpose in view.
lie expressed himself as satisfied
that a dry dock at Savannah. as is the
case in other ports, would be a heavy
dividend earning enterprise, and, fur
thermore, that the large increase in
shipping coming to this port by season
of the facilities afforded for docking
and repairing would add tens of thou
sands of dollars a year to the value
OF its commerce, to say nothing
of largely increasing the popula-
ton of the city. He said there was no
dry dock for merchant vessels on the
Atlantic between Newport News and
Havana, and one at Savannah would
take in all vessels in this latitude, and
some of those trading in the West In
dia Islands and the Gulf of Mexico
The material facts, showing the es-
tlmated business, expenses, earnings
and profits, are in the hands of the
committee on organization, and will be
presented to local capitalists and 9TH
ers at the proper time. In the mean
while, those who take an interest in
enterprises that have the upbuilding
of the city in view can rest satisfied
that the project of a dry dock is in
safe hands

IN NEST OF A RAT.
Fire of Peculiar Origin Over
Broughton Street Store.

A telephone call to the Central Fire
Station about 1:S0 o'clock yesterday
afternoon sent the chemical to No. IS
Broughton street west. Smoke had
been seen issuing from under the floor
ing of the second story of the place
occupied by E HICKMAN, jewelry
store, down stairs, and social club
on the second floor. 1t was small in
volume, but continuous and gave the
firemen under, Marshal Mouro, some
difficulty to locate it.
The flooring was chopped away in
couple of places and bunch of
smouldering rags was brought to
light. They were thrown into a sink.
and the fire was over. The peculiar
feature of the fire was as to how it
could have started. The rags were
several feet from any opening. and the
only solution was that a rat had made
its nest there and had in some way
got hold of a match, which it had
chewed.

the Traders hotel, attempted TO muir
der Arthur Davis Wright, colored,
bell boy at the hotel, at o'clock sun
day morning in the hotel.
Ii appears that Wright owed White
four cents and the latter asked him

amount but told White he was honest
and would pay him. White demanded
that he pay it then and there, and
jerked out his knife and began To
strike at the bell boy in vicious man
ner. He slashed him across the arms
and cut holes in his coat sleeves, but
fortunately the blade did not come in
contact with Wright's flesh. The lat
ter ran into the pool room to escape
his assailant but the latter pursued
him. Finally Wright grabbed beer
bottle ank gave him terrible blow
across the head. White fell to the
floor like dead man but made three
futile attempts to rise. But the last
time he fell back unconscious. he
