RAIN PREDICTED FOR
SAVANNAH TO-DAY.
Mississippi Storm Should BE Felt
Here This Morning.

Mississippi Storm Should BE Felt
Here This Morning.
Unless there should be some unex-
pected changes in weather conditions
to-day should be rainy one in Savan-
nah. The storm which was lying over
Central Texas yesterday morning had
moved eastward as far as New Or
leans by 8 o'clock last night. No high
winds were reported at any of the sta
tons in the storm region and the rain
fall is not unusually heavy. New Or
leans last night reported rainfall of
10 of an inch.
In Savannah the barometer fell slow
ly, but steadily after noon. At noon
it registered 1910. By midnight it
had fallen to less than 80. Between
3 and o'clock the skies clouded over
and rain should begin sometime during
the early morning.
A deficiency of degrees in, temper
allure was recorded in Savannah. The
highest point reached by mercury was
81 degrees, recorded at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. The lowest was 81 degrees
at o'clock in the morning. This made
the average temperature for the day
46 degrees. The records of the past
thirty-two years called for an average
of "a degrees, and as result a def
cheney of degrees was recorded.

ceremonies q beautiful and valuable
past masters jewel was presented Mr..
Hitch by Rev. Chas. H. Strong on be-
half of the lodge. Rev. Mr.. Strong paid
q splendid tribute to Mr.. Hitch's MANY
personal qualities and the wise man
agement of the lodge that had caused
it to so thrive during his Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Hitch made a short address of
thanks for the honors accorded him.
The report of Treasurer Haines showed
that the past year had been an unusu-
ally prosperous one for the lodge.

TO ELECT FERGUSON
HIS FRIENDS SAY HE WILL BE THE
BUILDING INSPECTOR.
COUNCIL BALLOTS TONIGHT.
THE NEW MAN WILL BEGIN HIS
DUTIES IMMEDIATELY.

For the First Year His Salary viii
BE $1,000 but Ii Is Generally I'm
derstOOd That 1t VIII BE In
creased Later On-EIectiOn Will
BE Most Important Happening at
Regular Meeting of COuncil-Many
Applications for Permission to
Retail Liquors VIII BE Read-May
Discuss Fireworks.
Unless the friends of NJ. NJ. Ferguson
are badly mistaken, and it does not
appear that they are, he will be the
choice of City Council tonight for the
recently created Office of building in
spector.
With the office goes a salary of 1000
year, but it has been generally I'M
derstood that when the budget for 1905
is made up it will be with a view to
paying the building inspector more
than 500 a month. Mr.. Ferguson has
not yet filed his application for the
position, but it will be placed in the
hands of Clerk of Council Dreamer by
noon.
Although there will be several APP
plicants for the Office it can be safely
predicted that there will be only one
ballot. Mr.. Ferguson is a contractor
and an architect, and has been highly
recommended to members of the Board
of Aldermen. He has lived in Savan-
nah for number of years and has
done considerable work in this and
other cities. The successful candidate
will be sworn in at the City Exchange
Thursday, and will begin his work at
once.
Gasoline Ordinance May Come Up.
The election of the building inspector
promises to be the only matter of i'm
portance that will come to the atten-
ton of Council at it's meeting. The
session will probably be a long one,
however. A large number of applica-
lions for licenses to retail liquor next
year will be read, and considerable
routine business will be transacted. The
gasoline ordinance may come up dur
ing the meeting of the Committee of
the Whole, but it is hardly probable
that 1t will be voted upon in open meet
ing.
The matter of passing another and
more stringent ordinance against the
shooting of fireworks in the shopping
district will probably be discussed in
caucus, but it is extremely doubtful if
any action will be taken
Fireworks Dealers Heard From.
AS has already been indicat-
ed by members of Council, the
merchants who handle fireworks
have stocked up in anticipa-
ton of heavy sales. 1t is pointed out
that 1t would be manifestly unfair to
them for Council at the eleventh hour
to pass an ordinance that would pro-
hibit the explosion of torpedoes in the
shopping district
The Building Committee will report
what it has done looking towards the
erection of the new City Hall. Council
empowered the special committee to ac-
cept plans and advertise for bids for
the new structure and the working
plans have not been seen by all of
the aldermen Mayor Myers, however.
as chairman Of the committee, will tell
the aldermen just how far negotiations
have progressed.

SAVANNAH HOSPITALITY
REMEMBERED.
Subject of Resolutions by Former
Members of 18th Army Corps.

subject OF Resolutions by Former
Members of 18th Army Corps.
Like an echo of the days when Sa-
vannah was the host of the Seventh
Army Corps comes a letter from Chi
cago to the Morning News stating
that at the November meeting of
Camp w. A. Chadwick No. IL, Service
Men of the Spanish War; a paper was
read which dealth with Thanksgiving
Day, 1898, Savannah, Georgia." and
that the subject aroused many pleas
ant recollections in the memories of
the audience which was chiefly COM
posed of veterans of the Second Hi
nois Infantry, U. S. " AS a result
the camp voted to have prepared and
Forwarded to the newspapers of Sa-
vannah resolutions of appreciation for
the kindness of the citizens of Savan-
nah. Here are the resolutions:
Whereas the soldiers of the Second
Illinois Infantry, u. S. ", were en-
camped at Savannah, on Thanksgiving
Day, 1898, far from their own homes
and with intense longing for their US
ual Thanksgiving Day turkey and pie,
which Uncle Sans commissary de-
partment failed to furnish.
ana whereas the cltlZenS or SaVan-
nah nobly and generously came to the
rescue of the hungry boys then in
camp by preparing for them a feast
which, when served by the beautiful
and charming ladies of that hospitable
city, made those Chicago boys as hap
py as though in their own homes;
"And whereas the patriots of that
beautiful Southern city extended i'm
partially, on all occasions, but partic-
ularly on that Thanksgiving Day, the
bOunties of their hospitality to the
Northern soldier as well as to the
Southern soldier;
And whereas it is our desire to
again express the gratitude aroused in
our hearts on that Thanksgiving Day;
BE it. therefore, Resolved, That
Camp VIM. A. Chadwick, No. II, S.
M. of S. W., hereby thanks the cit
liens and particularly the ladies of
Savannah for their uniform courtesy
and kindness to the Second Illinois
Regiment, and especially for hospital
tiles extended on Thanksgiving Day,
1898.
And be it further Resolved, That
copy of these resolutions be spread up
on the minutes of our camp and that
copies be sent to the newspapers of
Savannah, Ca"
The resolutions were signed by ]. J.
Clarity, commander: w. ]. Unfried,
adjutant; Clarence A. Toolen and Ches-
ley r. Perry, committee.

SALVATION ARMY'S
DINNER TO THE POOR.
Captain McSheehan and His Corps
Meeting with Generous Aid.

Captain McSheehan and His Corps
Meeting with Generous Aid.
Capt. McSheehan of the Salvation
Army corps in Savannah. and the
members of the corps. are busy secur-
ing donations for the Christmas din
ner which they will tender to the poor
of the city on Christmas Day. They
desire to serve 500 dinners, and though
the donations thus far have been very
liberal, considerable more are needed
if the large number of dinners is to be
provided.
Three hundred of the dinners will
be served at the homes of the poor and
the other 200 at the Army headquar-
tiers, 117-119 West Broad street. The
dinners for the different homes will be
sent out in baskets, each basket con-
tanning a dinner for five persons.
On New Years Eve a Christmas
tree will be furnished for $50 poor
children. The tree will be placed in
position at the Army headquarters,
and the gifts from it distributed among
the children who would otherwise be
forgotten by Kris Kringle. Loyal aid
to the corps is being given by Savan-
nahians, and 1t now looks as though
the Salvationists would be able to
carry through their plans.
Checks sent as donations to the
cause sould be made payable to Capt.
]. w. McSheehan. Donations of food.
clothing, toys, etc, should be sent to
the Army headquarters, or If word is
sent to Capt. McSheehan. be will see
that the goods are called for. Money
left at the hall will be acknowledged
by an official receipt

TO WRESTLE WITH BUDGET
ON MONDAY NIGHT.
Members of Council Figuring on
Next Yenr's Expenditures.

Not until the budget for 1904 has
been agreed upon by City Council will
the tax ordinance for next year be
taken mp. There is a great amount
Of work to be done in getting the ordi-
nance in shape.
A great deal of figuring is also neces-
sary in making UP the appropriations.
Because of the time and study that is
required in making up the budget and
revising the tax ordinance. the work
is done at special meetings. Monday
night Council will decide what amount
must be expended during 1904.
As has already been indicated in the
Morning News, it has been found that
there can be no increase in salaries
for another year. and the various de-
partments will be held down to very
near the amounts allowed for 1903.
There Will be some increases In appro-
priatiOns, for very good reasons, but
the estimates furnished by the heads
Of the various city departments will
be slashed right and left.
1t does not look as if the city will
be able to afford a fire station for Col
linsyille and the firemen will have to
get along with their same salaries for
another year For the maintenance
of the fire department $76,500 was AL
lowed for the present year. This
amount has been over drawn and bills
will be carried over into the new year.
But there will be no substantial in
creae in the appropriation for 1904 as
asked for by the Fire Committee.
There will however have to be an APP
preparation of $1,000 for the new engine
that has been ordered from the La
France Company.
Neither will the police force be in
creased. The police appropriation for
1903 was $4,000. outside of the money
allowed for uniforms and for the re-
serves. While Council may allow the
department a little more than last year,
the difference will not be enough to
make any Improvements in the build
ings or permit of an increase in the
size of the force by even one man.
The same thing will apply in the cases
of the other departments, and Council
will hold the appropria tons down to
the closest possible margin.
Although there will be a balance in
the city treasury of at least $4,000
Mayor Myers has found that the strict
est economy must be practiced by the
city in order that special expenditures
may be made without embarrassing the
city The new City Hall will have
$500 placed to it's account, and $751;
900 more will be set aside for the Gwin-
nett street tunnel. The salaries of the
Board of Aldermen will also have to
be remembered, and the monthly pay
ment for the tree nursery will have to
be provided for. The public library will
get it's usual stipend, and the fight that
is being made for deeper water may
mean further expenditures. All of these
. l. ~.
aldermen are doing some close figur-
ing.

BABY SAVED BY MERE CHANCE.
Was Lying Asleep on n burning
Bed,

With the clothes of the bed on which
it was lying asleep burning furiously
and the blaze quickly spreading over
the room, the infant child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles E. Prince of No. $50
Harris street, east, narrowly escaped
horrible death between Z and s O'Clock
yesterday morning.
The family had finished breakfast and
Mr.. Princes little daughter had left
the table to go upstairs to get ready
for school. Entering the room on the
top floor, where the baby had been
left asleep, the little girl discovered the
fire, which probably caught from a
spark from the hearth and which was
burning the bed clothing, carpet, a
trunk and other pieces of the furni-
ture. The smoke in the room was
stirling, and snatching the sleeping in
FAINT in her arms the little girl ran down
stairs screaming for help.
A telephone alarm was turned in and
chemical company No. 1 responding,
worked for several minutes on the fire
before the last spark was put out.
1t was through the merest chance that
the baby was saved from burning to
death as it was asleep, and it's par
ents down stairs could hardly have
heard cry, had it been awake, and
frightened at the fire in the room.

HARTFORD WILL SAIL
TOMORROW MORNING
To-day Is Last for visitors to the
Historic Vessel.

1O-Ody Is LaSt TOT N1S1tOr8 TO the
Historic Vessel.
To-day offers the Fast opportunity of
visiting the United States training ship
Hartford, at anchor opposite Bull
street. At o'clock tomorrow morn
ing the ship will weigh anchor. From
Savannah, she will go to Mobile, the
point, where she made her first repu-
tation as a war ship, nearly half a
century ago.
Yesterday was a quiet one aboard the
ship, and, with the exception of the
details from the naval militia, there
were few visitors aboard. The morn
ing hours were taken up with instruc-
tions and drill work. Shortly after
ward the ship began coaling an oper-
alton, which was curiously watched by
many from the shore. More than 200
tons of coal were taken aboard, from
Taggart & Co. $ wharves.
Provisions were taken aboard in the
afternoon and everything is in readi-
ness for departure. The ship will be
open for the inspection of visitors dur
ing the usual hours this afternoon
and the apprentices and landsmen will
take their last look at Savannah to-
day. Last night Commander Veeder
and his officers attended the german
rendered by the Cotilion Club.

The forty hours devotion" which
has been in progress at the Sacred
Heart Church since Sunday morning
closed last night with solemn process

Were Uninjured.
An explosion which partially demol-
ished a small building in which We're
two large gas generating tanks and in
which Isaac johnson. a negro fireman.
was seriously burned and scalded, oc-
Cured at the Gorrie Ice Factory at
Indian and Farm streets last night.
The explosion, was heard for sew
eral blocks in the vicinity of the ice
factory, and was the blowing up of
two tanks in which a large amount Of
carbide is mixed with water, general
ing gas for lighting purposes at the
factory.
A pecliar thing in connection
with the explosion is the fact that it
did not injure the tanks, but tore off
the roof, burst open a window and de-
molished one of the walls of the build
ing shooting out hot streams of acid
be every direction. 1t is understood that
too large an amount of carbide was
placed in the tanks, taxing them be-
yond their capacity, as the explosion
could not be otherwise explained.
Blew OF the Roof

are located is directly in the rear of
the main plant, a window opening be-

from the engine room into the machin-
cry room and was directly in front of
the glass window, when with terrific
noise the tanks exploded, bursting
through the glass panes and shooting
stream of the burning acid mixed with
broken pieces of glass into the ma
chinery room, engufiing the fireman.
At the same time the rear wall and
the roof of the shed were blown off.
ScaIded and Cut.
johnson was knocked down and when
other hands employed at the factory
reached him after the hot stream had
ceased, his face and hands were ter
ribly scalded by the acid, and cut by
the broken pieces of glass from the win
dow. johnson was taken to his home
on Grapevine avenue and DIR. George
Norton summoned. He was examined
and found to be in a serious condition,
the acid having burned into his flesh
which was cut open and bleeding pro-
fusely.
After the explosion the lights at the
ice factory burned as usual, which
made the explosion even more mys-
teriouS.
