Four Tenement* on Duffy Street Burned
to the Ground-Loss About 53.000.
About 9:30 o’clock last night fire was dis
covered in the kitchen of an unoccupied
eastern tenement of a row of four two-story
frame dwellings on the north side of Duffy,
between Habersham and Price streets.
Notwithstanding the recent rains, which
had considerably dampened the ex
terior wood work. the flames
s|>eedily consumed the kitchen
and resideuee, aud communicated with
the adjacent houses occupied by Absalom
"■aliens. John Desery. Frank Mirault.
George Washington and J. H. Stenell. all
colored, who barely had time to move a
part of their household effects into the
-treet. About this time the apparatus of
the Fire Department reached the scene,
but the fire plugs were so tar distant, and
the flames had gained such headway
that the zealous efforts of the firemen fail
ed to save any one of the buildings. Two
or three breaks in lines of hose also
occurred, and some valuable time was
lost in supplving other sections. On the
south side of Dufl'y street and nearly op
posite the tire the meml>ers of the depart
ment succeeded in saving a row of frame
buildings that were exjwsed to the heat,
and for a time in imminent danger. The
western tenement occupied by George
Washington was owned by John Deveaux
and insured in companies represented by-
Mr. 1 . G. Falligant. for the sum of SSOO.
The insurance amounts to about one-half
the value of the structure.
The house, occupied by John Desery,
was owned by the Pulaski 3lutual Loan
Association, and was also insured.
The total los, is estimated at about $3,000.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but is
**upi-oseil to have been the work of incen
diries.
THE HEAVY BAINS.
Damage in the City—Cellars and Base
ment- Flooded — Breaks in the Sew
ers.
Considerable damage is reported in va
rious parts of the city from the heavy
rains of yesterday and the day before.
The streets are badly washed in many
places and basements and cellars were
flooded. The rain yesterday forenoon was
t.ne of the heaviest ever exi>erieneed in
Savannah. The sewers were inade
quate to carry off the surface
water, and every locality lower than the
street was flooded. The Market basement
suffered seriously, and the restaurants
were deluged, the floors being covered
several inches deep. Several cellars on
Congress and Broughton streets were also
j inundated. The loose lumber lying in
i front of Alderman Hanley’s new building,
on Whitaker street, was carried some
distance below the building.
The sewer on Abercorn street, at its
intersection with Duffy, caved in, wash
: ing in the track of the Abercorn street
railroad, and tenqiorarily delaying travel.
The break occurred by the* giving in
1 of the top of the Duffy street sewer
where it connects with the sewer on Alier
corn street. It was covered with planks
; which have rotted out and were washed
away by the heavy rain. The traek was
tlso obstructed at two other places by
| tiie sand from the high ground being
washed over it. It is expected that the
j break will lie repaired to-day and the cars
run through as usual.
A bad break also occurred in the sew
ers running along West Boundary and
Duffy streets. A large force of men will
lie at work to-day. and the break will be
repaired as rapidly as possible.
I.imatic- I'rnvitlcil For.
The Ordinary of Chatham count v has
received a communication from the Stale
Lunatic Asylum that the asylum will
receive all of the colored lunatics now
confined in the jail in Savannah. The
letter was turned over to thcCounty Com
missioners yesterday morning, at their
regular meeting, for action.
Steps will at once lie taken to transmit
these unfortunates to the State Asylum,
where they will receive that care and at
tention v hich their cases demand.
For years past adjudged lunatics In this
county have been compelled to eke out an
existence in the county jail in cells to
tally unfit for them, for the reason that no
other provision could be made for them.
The < irdinary of the county has had the
matter of providing suitable quarters un
der advisement tor some months past, and
the 1 letter provision now made for them is
assuredly a work of Christian charity.
If there is a class of unfortunates’ who
deserve sympathy, it is the lunatics,
whose condition aud surroundings should
lie ameliorated as much as possible in ac
cordance with the laws of nature and
hygiene.
Found Floating in the Diver.
Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o’clock,
a female infant about six months old was
discovered floating down the river oppo
site the Planters’ Rice Mill. The dis
covery was made by Captain Herne, who
was on the wharf attending to some busi
ness. He at once notified Mr. Joseph
Kollock, acting .Superintendent of the
mill, who, together with Captains Mis
eaily and Herne, succeeded in reselling
the remains of the child, which
fortunately had drifted near a small boat,
moored near the mill. The Coroner was
at once notified of the facts. Upon ex
amination of the body it was discovered
that it liore marks of violence. There
were two large incisions in the left leg,
bearing evidence of the use of instru
ments: also a gash under the jaw. while
the head of the infant w;as completely
crushed in. The remains were interred
in Laurel Grove Cemetery.
There was no inquest held as it was
deemed unnecessary by the Coroner.
Weather
A Test of the Sewers.
The heavy rain yesterday morning tested
the sewers to their very highest capacity.
The main sewer on Broughton street was
scarcelykadequate to carry off the heavy
rainfall from adjoining sewers. In seve
ral places along the principal streets the
water was of such a depth that a number
of merchants had to make quick pro
vision against a deluge in their offices
and business houses. The main sewer on
Broughton street is about three feet in
circumference, which seems hardly large
enough to carry off the great overflow
during a heavy rain. It increases in size
until it reaches East Broad street, where
it measures eight leet in circumference.
A heavy rainfall, with perfect sewerage
connections, is worth much more to a city
like Savannah, in a sanitary point of
view, than one would naturally suppose.
It is an important matter to have as per
fect a system of sewerage as can be ob
tained.

THE LOWER HYDRAULIC COTTON
PRESS.
Tlie Largest Compress tn the World to
be Completed in a Few Days. —.
With a view to the expected large in
crease in cotton receipts this year, the
Savannah Cotton Press Association has
had under construction since last winter
the largest cotton compress in the world,
w hich has already been alluded to in the
Morning News, and which w-ill be fin
ished within a few days.
The construction of this press, to be
known as tne Lower Hydraulic Press,
and which is situated at the toot of Ran
dolph street, has been under the personal
supervision of Captain Samuel J. White
sides. the Chief Engineer of the Cotton
Press Association, and the oldest cotton
pressman in the country, whose experience
of 33 years has given hitn a wide field to
display his practicability in the construc
tion of cotton presses.
The hydraulic press is the result of his
investigation and study, and lieyond doubt
is the largest and most complete press in
the country. It has a frontage of 350
feet and a "depth of 500 feet. It is pro
vided with large and roomy sheds for the
handling and storage ol cotton. The cost
of the press alone is $75,000. The w ork of
construction was begun on the Ist day of
last February. Every part was con
structed with'special reference to the bet
ter coinpressing of cotton.
The boiler house is 3tix4u teet. In this
building is five steel boilers 48 inches in
diameter, with 34 four-inch tuties. The
boilers are set in one battery inclosed in
an iron casing lined with brick, giving 90
square feet of grate surface.
The pump room is 29x40 feet. In this
room are three sets of G. F. Blake’s du
plex pumps, consisting of two sets of
steam cylinders twenty-four inches in
diameter and twenty-four inch stroke,
operating directly on water plunges five
inches in diameter. One set of two steam
cylinders 24 inches in diameter and 2*
inch stroke, operating on water
plunges :\}4 inches in diame
ter. “ The 5-inch water plunges are
driven up to 2.0(H) pounds w ater pressure
to the square inch: the 3% water plunges
are driven up to 4,000 pounds to the square
ineh.
The press room is 25 by 55 feet. In this
building are two hydraulic presses with
rams 34 inches in diameter and 4 feet 6
inches stroke.
The cylinders are 13 inches thick and
w rought iron, banded with eight bands 3
inches square, weighing 22 tons each.
The bed plate in which the cylinders rest
weighs 19 tons. The top and bottom
platens weigh 20 tons each. The litting
rials are of wrought iron 10 inches square
and weigh 5 tons. There are eight of these
rods—four to each press. The total weight
of the two presses is 250 tons. These
presses will be operated under a water
pressure of 4,000 pounds to the inch,
which w ill put about a 2,500 tou pressure
on each bale. The machinery will be driven
by an 800 horse power engine.
This press will doubtless have no equal.
The best presses in the country to-day
exert a pressure of only I.Tihi tons, while
one under construction will exert a
pressure of double that amount. One of
its great improvements is that when
once started it will not require
a sjieeial man to attend it, as in
the case ol the old presses which require
a lever man to turn the steam on and off
at a given time. This work is done auto
matically, and there is consequently a
great saving of time and labor. The lia
bility to accident will also be avoided.
INTERNAL REVENUE CHANGES.
The Consolidation of tlie Savannah and
Atlanta Districts—The Appointment
of Division Deputies —The N‘e\v
Rcgiine.
The consolidation ot the Internal Reve
nue Districts of Savannah and Atlanta
was completed yesterday. The records,
comprising over fifty boxes of voluminous
documents, dating from the organization
| of the department, together with the ar
mament, were shipped in a special ear to
Atlanta.
Special Agent Knight, in his official ex
amination of the affairs of the office, found
everything in a satisfactory condition and
all accounts correctly balanced. The in
ventory, under the direction of the special
agent, had been going on several days
prior to the consolidation. The result
shows the total liabilities of the office to
the government to be $45,003 53.
The amounts transferred to Col. John
son. Collector of the consolidated districts,
are as follows:
Tax paid spirit stamps $ 7,9ti.i 00

Collectable taxes 601 41
Taxes uncollectable 4,35S 35
Total $24,272 70

of Internal Revenue at Washington, as
follows:
Tobacco stamps $ 5,167 08
Tax paid spirit stamps ,10,459 so
Special tax stamps (licenses) 5,103 45
Total $20,720 S3
Transferred to Colllector Johnson $24,272 70
Returned to Commissioner of Rev
enue 20,720 86
Total liabilities $45,003 53

the city until Saturday, when he will re
turn to Atlanta and assume his official
duties as Collector of the combined dis
tricts.

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving "the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
for diarrhn a, whether arising from teeth
ing or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.

warranted to cure chills and fever in all

Editors Constitution: I feel so grateful
to some Georgia people that I must write
and ask you to thank them for the good
they have done me. In fact, alter he dies
there ought to be a monument erected to
the memory of the inventor or discov
erer of a remedy which is manufactured
in your city.
For five long years past I have spent all
I made, and more too, in the effort to be
cured of a blood malady which was eat
ing my life away. I tried one physician
after another, and the Warm Springs, the
Hot Springs, the Sulphur Springs, and
finally found myself completely broken
down, poisoned with scrofula, poisoned
with mercury, and pronounced incurable
by all the doctors. In this condition, I
beard through a friend from the East of
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.), which is
made in Atlanta, and I took il lie
cause 1 felt that under any circum
stances 1 was doomed to die. The
first three doses of it infused new life into
me, and after taking about twenty dollars’
worth, I am anew man and as sound as a
dollar. Every vestige of the ohl enemy is
gone—my skin is clear, and I feel as well
or better than 1 ever did in my life.
Swift’s Specific costs high out here, but it
is worth SSOO per bottle to sufferers lrorn
blood diseases. Thank those people for
me, and let any doubters write me here,
care of the Commercial Hotel.
Yours very truly,
Harry Smith.

It is a lit companion alikefor the yonng anu
