TO BEGIN REBUILDING
COPPER WORKS TO-DAY.
Mr.. Mcmillan Estimates Loss at
About $1,000.

About 5000.
The damage to the copper works of
Mcmillan Brothers at Liberty and
Price streets by the fire that Quilted
the rear buildings yesterday morning
will amount to between $4,000 and $5,-
00O Mr.. Thomas H. Mcmillan said
yesterday that as near as it is pos
sible for him to form an estimate the
loss will in his opinion be about that.
Mr.. Mcmillan said that the damage to
the copper works is entirely covered
by insurance
This morning the work of rebuilding
the burned portion of the work will be-
gin and a large force of hands will
begin removing the debris to make
room for the new building which, when
completed, will be larger and more
commodious than that which was
burned.
When the site is cleared and an in
ventory of the material which was in
the burned building is taken, it is
probable that the damage will be
found to amount to more than the es-
innate by Mr.. Mcmillan. The mate
rial in the building was fortunately of
a class which could not be damaged
to any great extent by fire, but it is
probable that a quantity of turpentine
which was scorched may have been
decreased in value.
The fire yesterday morning was the
largest that the Savannah fire depart
ment has fought in several months
and for a while several buildings in
the neighborhood of the copper works
were in danger of being burned as a
high wind famed the places which IL
Illuminated that section of the city. the
fire having made considerable head
way before the alarm summoned the
assistance of the fire department. The
engine which sank into the soft ground
en- route to the fire and which was thus
rendered unavailable for use was not
the regular machine of Company No
4, but a reserve engine which is kept
at No. engine house.

Noon.Mark Of oIden Times.

One of the simplest devices by
which the midday hour. was made
known to dwellers in rural homes a
century ago was q noon-mark. The
dweller in town or village had the
noon bell from the church steeple,
but on nearly every farm house was
a noon-mark, usually by a frequented
door or window. Says Mrs. Earle in
a recent book: 81 have seen them
many time on the threshold of a
barn, at the kitchen doorstep or out
side the pantry. Country folk grew
very skillful in telling the relative
time from a noon-mark. knew one
old woman who. by her kitchen noon
mark, could tell the hours from 10
TO 4 without a variation Of four min.
utes, which is in general all that
would be expected from watch

MESSAGES IN STRANGE FORM.
Remarkable Communication from
Many Sources.

Remarkable Communication from
Many Sources.
Recently English newspapers pub
lished story about a Liverpool man
who found a message written upon
an egg by the packer, widow in
Manitoba, whom he ultimately mar
ried. In 1899 a message was found in
a barrel of apples that had been sent
to England from New Zealand. In
this message the packer of the fruit,
young woman, said that her ances-
tors, whose names were given, had
emigrated from Kent, and she asked
the finder to ascertain If any of her
name and family still remained in
that county. The finder was able to
give her full particulars as to surviv'
ing relatives. Mr.. Tew of Leeds,
England, a member of a Yorkshire
banking family, had at one time
collection of messages in merchan-
disc" some of them being very tragic
reminders Of the days when peaceful
traders were caught by Algerian
pirates and sold into slavery. One
such message had been written in
blood on a coarse canvas bag that
had contained gum arabic; another
appeared as a sort of tattooed stain
on large cork that had fastened
vessel containing altar Of roses.
