HAS BOUGHT THE DANDY.
Towbont Co. Fight Ends With Pur-
chase of Darfen Boat.


The Propeller Towboat Company
took possession of the tug Dandy on
yesterday. which it bought from Da-
Iien and Sapelo Towboat Company.
and by this closed the towboat war
which has been warmly waged for sew
eral months. Negotiations for the
purchase have been on for several
weeks, the Propeller Towboat Com
pany's end being in charge of Mr.. Will
liam F. McCauley, treasurer and a
large stockholder. 1t was largely
through him that the towboat war
ends.
The disinclination which exists to
the establishing of precedents of buy
Ing up competing boats was largely
responsible for the prolonged fight
which the Propeller Company engaged
In when the Dandy was sent here from
Darien to cruise on the Savannah bar
1t was feared that the buying of boats
was a bad policy. and for this reason
the established company probably test
ed further than it otherwise would
the staying qualities of the
Dandy. 1t seemed that she
was here to remain for some time
Quick at sea and commanded by one
of the most skillful of seamen the
Dandy generally came out pretty we'll
in her races for lows. Rates were cut,
and the business to some extent de-
moralized. The Propeller Company
was forced to keep more boats at the
bar at times than necessary and this
called for a large consumption. The
Dandy was making little or nothing
from her operations, and the Propeller
Company was being put to expense
which could be saved by the steps
taken by the company, through MIR.
McCauley.
Mr.. McCauley did not care to discuss
the purchase of the Dandy, other than
to say the Propeller Company had
bought and taken possession of her.
This is the second boat the company
has bought under similar circum-
stances in the past twenty-five years,
so that they are not called upon to
deal with such conditions often.
Capt. Brown will be retained by the
Propeller Company to command the
Dandy at a salary of $3.50 per month.
She is now in the service of her pur-
chasers. Mr.. McCauley stated that
the company really had use for such
a boat.
1t is understood upon good authority
that the consideration TO be paid FOR
the Dandy is s27. 500.

Passed ON Tonight.

fore they intend to sweep the chimney,
and that the contractor shall provide
such appliances as shall insure, as far
as possible. against the escape of the
SCOT. The fee to be charged is fixed
at Is cents for each fireplace.
Alderman Schroeder will also intro
duce. by request. an ordinance to per-
nit J. W. McIntire to improve the

DRAGGED BY TROLLEY CAR.
j. G. Norman, Jr.. i'm Trying to Get
Out of Way of Runaway Horse.

In endeavoring to escape being run
over by a runaway horse ]. G.. Nor
man, Jr, was struck yesterday morn
ing by West Broad street car. Mr.
Norman was riding a bicycle, he was
thrown from the wheel. and dragged
about ten feet. His face was badly
bruised. and his clothing was torn The
wheel was fit object for a junk shop
Mr.. Norman, who is a clerk in the
claim agents Office at the Central of
Georgia Railway, was riding his
wheel down West Broad street in the
direction of Bay street. When directly
in front of the office of Frank Van
Geisen. he turned his head suddenly
to find that he was about to be run
down by a runaway horse. He turned
to his right, in an endeavor to avoid
the animal. and as he did so the front
wheel of his bicycle struck the car.
Had IL not been for the fact that he
drew his legs up, he would probably
have had both limbs crushed.
The front wheel of his bicycle was
caught under the front wheels of the
car, and both rider and bicycle were
dragged along the car track. The mo-
torman applied the brakes and shut off
the current as rapidly as possible, and
a serious accident was avoided.
The young man was not seriously
hurt, and went on to his work The
wheel. which was much the worse for
the experience, was left at Van Gel
sens. Norman said yesterday that he
was going to make a demand on the
Electric Railway Company to have his
bicycle repaired.

NINE YOUNG GIRLS LOST.
Inadcquacy of the Fire Equipment 0
 London,

London,
 London, June 9.--The inadequacy of the fire department of London has again been demonstrated by the fatal ities which attended a comparatively small blaze in the center of the city at a late hour this afternoon. The fire oc- cured in the upper portion of five story building adjoining the Mansion house in the best section of London
 The first extension ladders to arrive at the scene could not be elevated to the height of the fourth story, and in mates of the upper floors were compell- ed to jump down into a tarpaulin which had been hastily communicated by the firement for passing fruit van. Sev- eral of those who jumped were badly injured and others who refused to take this risk disappeared within the smok- ing windows.
 Several hours elapsed before the cas- ualties were ascertained. It was then found that nine young girls had been burned to death, and that fifteen per- sons had been injured, one probably fatally. The bodies of the dead were all badly burned, and two could not be recognized.

ISTHMIAN CANAL DEBATE.
Senator Harris Strongly Favors the
 Nicaragua Route.

Washington, June 9.-An interesting contribution to the discussion of the isthmian canal project was made in the senate to-day by MT. Harris of Kansas, member of the committee on |inter-oceanic canals, who is also an en- gineer of recognized ability. His discus sion of the technical details of canal construction was listened to with pro- found attention. He strongly advocated the seluection of the Nicaragua route.
 He maintained that it was entirely feasible and practicable from an en- gineering standpoint and said that some of the difficulties presented by the Pan- ana route were ble-notably the construction of the Bohoi dam.
 During the early part of the session the naval appropriation bill was con- sidered. All of the committee amend ments were disposed of, except that re- lating to the construction of two addi- tional battleships, two cruisers and two gunboats.
