FIRE IN DE SOTO
LOOKED SERIOUS.
Timely Discovery of Blaze in Base
nIent Wine Room.

W hOOms
What might have proven a disas-
trous fire was discovered just in The
nick of time at the De Soto early yes
terday morning. 1t was a few min
utes before 5 o'clock when the night
porter went to the office, after having
been on one of his rounds of inspec-
ton, and reported to the clerk in charge
that he had discovered smoke in the
basement. and thought it was coming
from the wine room. The report was
investigated Immediately, and the evil
dences of fire inside the room, which is
at the east end of the building, were
very plain. AS the door is strong and
was securely locked, the first efforts
to force an entrance were of no avail,
and a hurry call was sent to the man
i'm charge of that department. Whlle
the messenger was rushing to get the
keys the night clerk went to the near
est fire box and sent in an alarm.
Box "a was the one pulled, and the
engines and apparatus were quickly
sent to the scene.
The keys to the wine room had been
secured, however, before the bells
stopped ringing and upon entering
the room II was tound that gOou'
healthy blaze was consuming num-
Der of boxes, had caught the flooring
and was making its way towards the
ceiling. 1t had not gone far enough
TO offer much resistance when the bell
boys and porter took hold, and was
out when the firemen got into the
hotel.
The fire did very little damage, but
half an hour later it might have been
a very serious business. The room
contained considerable that would have
fed the flames if allowed to go on, and
if it had gotten through the ceiling
fierce conflict would assuredly have en-
sued.
No theory was advanced as to the
cause of the fire yesterday. except that
possibly mice have carried matches
there from some other portion of The
hotel The wine room had been closed
and locked several hours before
the discovery of the fire. The dam
ages sustained were not of much con-
sequence, but it was near enough to
being a fire to put the hotel force on
it's mettle.

CARS ALMOST READY
TO HAUL GARBAGE

It is expected that the new garbage
cars will go regularly into service the
later part of the week. They are
working nicely and the director of
public works, who has charge of the
scavenger department, expects to have
them doing duty before the end of
this week.
The city officers, as the guests of
Chairman Watson of the Streets and
Lanes Committee of Council, will prob
ably make a trip to the dump at the
County Farm before the cars go reg
ularly into service. This junketing
party has not yet been arranged. but
it is likely that there will be a water
melon cutting at the County Farm.
The big cars have been run over the
tracks and take the curves nicely.

hurrying to the Court House to ex-
tend their congratulations. Judge
Norwood was fairly besieged through
out the day.
A great deal of interest has been
manifested in the race. Since the an
nouncement that Col. Cam would make
the race against Judge Norwood, the
interest has been great, and not once
has it waned. For the past two weeks
the people of Savannah have been
eagerly awaiting the action of the Gov
ernor. Both applicants were strongly
and warmly indorsed, and there was
much difference of opinion as to the
outcome.
Judge Norwood has for many years
been prominently before the public. He
has occupied the bench of the City
Court of Savannah since. February,
1896, having been appointed in Deem
Der, 1895 to succeed Judge MacDonell.
He was reappointed in 1900. The pres
ent reappointment is for four years.

NEGRO HAD WILD RIDE
ON RUNAWAY HORSE,
Horse Stumbled and the Rider Fell
Underneath.

Horse Stumbled and the Rider Fell
Underneath.
On the back of a runaway horse,
Fred Johnson, negro employed by
Werntz Bros, had a wild ride last
night and was badly injured at Park
avenue and Bull street.
AT that point the animal fell with
Johnson. The negro struck the ground
heavily and the horse rolled on him.
1t was at first believed by those who
had witnessed the accident that the
negro had been crushed to death. He
was bleeding from the nose when by
ISLANDERS ran to where he had fallen.
Dr. w. E. Fitch was sent for and an
examination of the injured man dis
closed the fact that no bones had
been broken. Johnson was badly bruis-
ed and he received an ugly scalp
wound, but there was no fracture of
the skull. The police ambulance was
summoned and the injured man was
removed to the Charity Hospital for
further treatment. 1t is not believed
that he was injured internally and his
condition is not regarded as serious.

Jones' Easy Way Of Laying Up Money
While He Was In the
Legislature.

Some recent developments at jefferson
City have recalled story that used to be
told about former Buchanan county rep
resentative in the legislature. Before his
election to the legislature he was chronic
ally "broke." When he returned from
Jefferson City he exhibited $500 in good
crisp greenbacks. Some of his friends
"jollied" him about his prosperity, relates
the Kansas City journal.
you didn't have a cent when you went
to the legislature, did you, Jones?" said
one of them.
''Not blamed cent" said Jones.
GAS a matter of fact, / lent you half
your railroad fare, didn't II"
81 believe you did"
"Well, you were down in Jefferson City
about 40 days. You got five dollars day.
Nov what we want to know is how you
managed to save $500 out of total income
of $500"
"Come Closer" whispered Jones, "and
I'll tell you how 1 did it. l had my wash

A prominent clergyman in Boston, who
is actively identified with missionary work,
has recently been preparing some colored
clergymen from the south for missionary
work. Lately he invited them to dine
with him. Toward the dinner hour the
reverend gentlemen waited an hour in his
reception room for his guests, but none
came. At last he called his maid servant,
mentioning the matter to her and re-
marking that it was very strange that his
expected guests did not put in their ap.
pearance. "Yis, sor," replied Mary, "but

nothin' the whole avenin' but turn mig
