RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from Near
anil Afar.
The survey of the Columbus and Rome
Railroad extension to Greenville will be
begun in two weeks.
Mr. W. F. Allen, who did so much to
effect the introduction of standard time
among the railroads of this country, is
now interested in another scheme, which
will, it adopted, prove as beneficial to the
railroads as did his other innovation. At
present the railroads of the country use
the following signals on trains: Hand
and lamp, bellcords, whistle, stationary
and lived, ami torpedo. The trouble at
present is that while all the lines are
using these signals, there is a vast and
dangerous variety in their use among the
various roads, so that a signal made at a
junction where two trains, one going
north and the other east, for instance, are
expected to pass, will be interpreted in
two different ways hv the engineers of
the trains in question. This misunder
standing has led to many accidents, and
Mr. Allen has, therefore,submitted a plan
to the General Superintendents of all the
lines in America, whereby one uniform
plan will le used by every road, so that
the engineer or brakeman of one line will
not err when he sees the signal of another
road.

Four Mules and Nine Cars Burned
Hairbreadth Escapes for Lite.
At 7 minutes before 10 o’clock last night
John Abrams. a negro driver
in the employ of the Coast
Line Street Railway Company,
had just put up his team for the night in
the stables of the company, at the junc
tion of Bolton street and the tracks of the
Savannah, Florida and W estern Kail
waa Company. Other men were en
gaged in pushing the car, which had just
made the last trip of the day over the
road, into its quarters beneath the shed at
the western extremity of the structure.
Louis Remusat. the night watchman of
the company, was in the office counting
up the cash and making all secure for the
night. As Abrams was leaving
the stable he M'as startled by
the sound of a crackling noise over
head and glaciug upward was startled to
see the whole upper portion of the strue
ture enveloped in flames.
RESCUING THE LIVE STOCK.
Rushing into the office he shouted an
alarm, and at Mr. Kemusat’s order fol
lowed him into the stable in an attempt
to rescue the horses and mules. Aiming
themselves with sharp knives, the two
men rushed from stall to stall cutting
the halters M'ith M hich the animals were
tied and stampeding them trum their
stalls. In the meantime someone out
side the building rushed to the savannah.
Florida and Western freight office and
i summoned the lire department by an
! alarm turned in trom signal box
1 No. 25.
WHERE THE KIKE STARTED.
! That part of the building in which the
i fire had its origin was, as already inti
! mated, in the loft immediately over the
I stalls. It was tilled from end to end with
j hay. grain and such other fodder as is
I commonly stored in a stable where
; many animals are housed and
; fed. ‘ A strong breeze which
i was prevailing outside the building
! and formed a strong draft within, carried
I the flames through the inflammable ma
! terial spread before them with lightning
like rapidity, and it was but a feM- ini ii
! utes after the discovery that the mhole
interior ot the building Mas converted
into a roaring furnace. It too.:
but a jiffy to burn the rafters
which supported the loft and then bun
dles of burning hay and blazing chunks
of wood la gan dropping to the floor where
were the mules, horses, Air. Remusat and
the negro Abrams working as fast as they
could. The two men finally succeeded in
cutting loose and driving out all the en
dangered animals save four mules.
RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES.
As they were vainly attemnting to drive
out the remaining four, the floor of the loft
began cracking and they fled for their
lives toward the door. They had just
made their exit through the blazing
portals when the m hole upper portion of
the building fell to the ground with a
crash, and enveloped them in a cloud of
smoke, cinders and flying bits of rafters.
s\\ INI, A SLEEKING CONDUCTOR.
They escaped unhurt, however, and as
they rushed through the building used as
the iifiice. M hich. as well as the car sheds
beyond. Mas already ablaze. Mr. Remu
sat rushed up stairs to awaken Conduc
tor J. >l. Knight, who had his sleeping
apartments in that portion of the prop
erty. The interior of the building was
becoming intolerably hot, hut
neither the heat nor the elouds
of stifling smoke had awakened
the weary conductor, and when Mr. Re
musat pounded on liis door he had barely
time to slip into his clothes, threw a
small trunk through the window and es
cape from the building.
WORK OF THE FIREMEN.
Although the firemen had a long run.
they were on the scene with
their accustomed alacrity. Upon
their arrival it Mas found that the tire
plug nearest the tire was located at the
corner of Huntingdon and Price streets.UoO
yards distant. The Bartow tire company
made connection with this, and though
it was necessary to lay and connect 1.700
feet of hose, had a stream on with
out the loss of a moment's time.
The balance of the hose of the
department m-;is inadequate to reach the
tire, and the other engines were thus ren
dered valueless. The tire had spread
with such rapidity at the start that all
the buildings of the ear company and the
grocery and liquor store ot .J. I). Harms,
adjoining the railroad track on the op
posite side of Bolton street, were
burned beyond saving when thefirmen got
on their first stream. The heat was in
tense and the destruction ol six or seven
wooden structures, which clustered about
the burning buildings, seemed a foregone
conclusion. The efforts of the firemen,
however, prevented this additional spread
of the flames and the destruction was con
lined to the buildings already designated.
A PICTURE OF THE CONFLAGRATION.
The flames from the burning structures
leaped high into the air and lent the sky
an illumination which was visible tor
miles around. Dense columns of smoke
which Ment rushing skyward after the
flames helped carry to the people some idea
ot the extensiveness of the conflagration.
Manv Mere just reaching their homes
troin church, and this fact and the earli
ii.>ss of the hour drew to the scene a
crowd variously estimated at from 2,000
to 5,0(B) people. The spectacle continued
nearly three hours, it being long after 2
o'clock this morning when the last ot the
tire department returned to their quar
ters.
THE NIGHT WATCHMAN’S STORY.
At 11:30 o’clock a reporter of the News
staff secured an interview M ith Air. Rem
usat and obtained from him a story of the
tire which embraced the facts already
narrated.
INCENDI VUISM SUSPECTED.
Upon being further questioned Air.
Remusat expressed himself as at a loss to
to hou- to account for the tire, but said
that it was more than a suspi
cion with him that incendiarism
was at the bottom of the conflagration.
He Mould not commit himself lurther,
however, and whctlier his suspicions
attached to any person or persons, he de
clined last night to divulge.
A SECOND YAMACRAW.
During the course of the conflagration,
several of the colored families occupying
the neighboring houses, which were en
dangered. moved their furniture and other
household effects to the surrounding fields,
and as they squatted around the property
the scene was analogous with that pre
sented around the outskirts of the burned
district of Yamacraw on the night
following that destructive conflagration.
THE BURNED PROPERTY.
The office, stable and shells of the ear
company covered an area 200 feet long by
00 feet deep. The structures were of
wood, and with the exception of the office
and stable, but one story in height. The
property contained in the buildings com
prised 32 mules, 3 horses, 18 street cars,
1 water car, a lumber car, a pole
car and a large quantity
of hay and other fodder. Niue of the
street ears, the water, lumber and pole
ears, all of the fodder, a large number of
harnesses and the four mules already
mentioned perished in the flames. The
books of the company aud the small
amount of cash in the money drawer
were saved. None of the owners of the
line were in the city last night, but a
gentleman competent to form a reliable
opinion on the subject, estimated the loss
at about $20,000. C. G. Falligant, through
whose agency $3.000 of the insurance is
placed, informed a News reporter that
the insurance on the buildings, live
stock and cars aggregated $16,000.
It is safe to estimate, there
fore, that the total valuation of the pro
perty would not fall short of $25,000.
MR. HARMS’ LOSS.
Mr. Harms stated to a reporter that he
valued his stock of groceries and liquors
at fully $3,000, upon which he had insur
ance ot $2,000 with John Sullivan <fc Cos.
The main building, in which was the
grocery and bar. was valued at SI,BOO,
ana an outbuilding, used as a kitchen
and storehouse, at S2OO. On the former
Mr. Harms had insurance of SI,OOO and
on the latter of $l5O. Before the grocery
caught tire a number of men and boys
who bad flocked to the scene suc
ceeded in saving a considerable
portion of Mr. Harms' stock.
The Evening Star.
During February Neptune is evening
star, and being first to rise, he heads the
stately procession of the outer members
of the system. Saturn is evening star,
and the second of the planets in the order
of rising. Next in order follow Jupiter,
Mars and Venus. During the month
Mars will be a very conspicuous object,
shining in the northeast with a fiery red
light. Mercury is morning star through
out the month.’ lie reaches his greatest
western elongation on the 13th at 11
o’clock at night. Venus continues in
creasing in radiance.

THE SAVANNAH POET SOCIETY.
The Celebration of its Forty-first An
niversary Last Night—The Sermon by
Rev. Thomas Boone —Reports of the
Officers—What is Being Done Among
the Seamen.
The forty-first anniversary of the Sa
vanuab Port Society was commemorated
with appropriate and interesting exer
cises at Christ Church last night. In ac
cordance with the announcement made in
the Morning News yesterday and from
the pulpits, nearly all the Protestant
churches omitted the evening service,
and the congregations united at Christ
Church, recognizing the Port Society as
one of the most efficient and woitby
branches of religious work in the city.
The church Mas filled from the chancel
to the door, and there were many in the
galleries. The rector of the church, Rev.
Thomas Boone, officiated, and the chancel
was occupied by Rev. Charles H. Strong,
of St. John’s Church, and Rev. Charles
AVright Freeland, of St. Atatthew s
Chapel.
THE ANNIVERSARY SERMON.
The exercises were opened shortly after
hall past 7 o’clock with the usual church
service, after which the rector delivered
the anniversary sermon, taking for his
text the First Epistle of Paul to Timothy,
second chapter, first to sixth verses: “I
exhort, therefore, that, first of all suppli
cations, prayers, intercessions. and ki'-
j n tr 0 f thanks be made for all men: for
Kings, and for all that are in authority;
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable
life in all Godliness and honesty, etc
The speaker referred to the work of toe
Port Society, and drew a lesson from the
text to illustrate the duties of the Chris
tian in the church and among his tenon
men. He said the sailor had become ac
customed to hardships and to cold and
tempests, and in the discharge of his du
ties upon the wide waste of waters had
also seemed to have lost all sense of the
dangers to which be was constantly ex
posed; that he was a man, naturally, of
generous impulses, and with warm at
tachments tor home, but that his calling
necessarily made the ship his only home,
and that ‘ when he arrived at strange
ports and among people, to whom he
was unknown, the influences ot home
were in a measure forgotten, and he
was subject to temptation and liable to
form evil associations. No one koeM
him but as "Jack.’’and when he was on
shore the sailor boarding-house was one
ot his places of refuge, but that was not
sufficiently attractive to restrain him from
seeking amusements that are of question
able advantage as well as inimical to
his well being. The Saviour taught on a
ship, hence some of the foundations of the
church mav he said to rest on truths which
He there preached and which we read in
the Testament. Then how appropriate is
it that the church should remember His
sons on the seas. May it uot be
asked us when we come
to give an account of
our stewardship what we did to aid the
tempest-tossed mariners to reach the
blessed haven. Shall we say that we tor
sot to lend our hand to rescue his soul ?
Air. Boone concluded by exhorting his
hearers to be mindful of the needs of the
men M ho go down to the sea in ships.
At the close of the address a liberal con
tribution Mas made by the congregation
to the society, alter which the reports ot
the various officers M'ere read. President
R. B. lleppard submitted his annual re
port as follows:
PRESIDENT’S REPORT.
Another year is numbered with the past,
and as we review the work done, we regret to
say not so much lias been done as should have
lie:n and we should add might have. The at
tendance at the Bethel has not been as large
as could be desired; the reasons are many, but
the principal one we think is owing to the
location of our church in a situation that is
somewhat hard to tind, except to those very
familiar with the locality, It has been sug
gested that we move back on the Bay to our
old church. It is for sale, and it may be de
sirable that we should make a change, if it
can be done without incurring any debt, m e
are now negotiating for the sale of our present
church and the purchase of the old Bethel on
the Bay. We are glad to report our society
on a sound financial basis, literally no debt
and about $3,000 on baud invested so that it is
bearing interest and cau 1h? turned into money
at anv time.
We respectful!v refer yon to the report of
our faithful Treasurer for full information
and standing of the society. We cannot close
this report without expressing our thanks to
him for the manner in which he has dis
charged his duties. Wc would refer you to
the report of our pastor. Brother W ebb.which
will show to the society ins constant faithful
ness and unwearying labors, the fruits of
which only the future ean reveal.
Death lias claimed another from our ranks,
an earnest laborer almost to the last in the in
terests of the society, and one of the best
friends we ever had. one u*ho aided us liber
ally in times of our greatest adversity, when
our society was well nigh shipwrecked. In
Gen. J. F. Gilmer the society loses one of its
best friends.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The report of Airs. Webb, Superinten
dent of the Sunday School, was read by
the Chaplain as follows:
The Mission Sunday School in the Bethel
has been carried on during the past year by
Mrs. Webb, with the assistance of four ladies.
The late lire in Yamacraw somewhat de
creased the number of scholars, by the re
moval of several families to the southern part
of the city, but they are again increasing, and
now number forty.
The school has been carried on, as before,
without anv expense to the fort Society. The
children had their annual picnic in May. and
festival at Christmas, through the kind re
sponses to the appeal for aid made by the la
dies carrying on the work, who now desire me
to render their thanks for the ready help
given. Also Mrs. Webb wishes to express to
the kind anonymous donor of $5, sent shortly
after the last anniversary. I low much
that silent expression of sympathy cheered
her.
One little scholar lias lieeu removed during
the past vear by the Good Shepherd Mho
“gathers the Lambs in His arms;” and she
loved so well to sing Ilis praises on earth
that we doubt uot tiiat she is singing non- with
tlie redeemed above.
The duty and privilege of giving lias been
enjoined on the children, and their offerings
on the first Sunday in each month laid aside
for missionary work, about which they are in
formed, ami these, with the results of a Mis
sionary Concert Exercise they gave, amounted
in the Vear to nearly $7: not much, hut an ev
idence that the very least can do something.
CHAPLAIN’S REPORT.
The Chaplain, Rev. Richard Webb,
read the following report of his efforts:
7b the President, Board j/f Managers and
Members of the Sacannah Port Society:
It affords me pleasure to present to you my
fifteenth annual report for the year ending
December 31, 1883.
I have visited nearly all the vessels which
have arrived in this port the past year—many
of them several times over—the sum total
being 933. I have distributed among tliem
much useful, religious and interesting reading
matter, as follows: 31,H0 pages of tracts in
12 different languages: also 710 copies of the
Sailor's Magazine and 1,458 numbers of tbe
Seaman's Friend and Life-Boat. furnished us
gratuitously by the American Seaman's
Friend Society. Have given them 1,054 religi
ous papers and 9 Bibles and Testaments. 1
have preached 138 sermons, and paid 74 visits
to the hospitals and jail. Our attendance at
the Bethel has been quite small, which is
either the fault of the preacher or the loca
tion of the house. The large majority of the
seamen who come to this port are Scandina
vians, aud unable to speak or understand our
language. 1 think if the Bethel were moved
back to its former place on the Bay it would
la* more central and more easily found-by the
sailors, and the attendance would be better.
Supplementing his report as Chaplain
of the society, Mr. Webb stated the diffi
culties he encountered in obtaining tbe
presence of sailors at the Bethel. He
found his work among them well receiv
ed. He was welcomed on board the ships
and bv the men wherever he found them,
and thev were eager to get the reading
matter that he distributed, but they did
not come to the Bethel. Many of them
were unable to find it in its present loca
tion. Many of those who visit the
port are foreigners and unable to
speak our language, aud with no
knowledge of the city, they were at a loss
where to go. He recommended that the
location ot the Bethel be changed, and
that the present building be disposed of
and the old building on the Bay, where
the society formerly had its quarters, be
obtained if possible.
THE BUSINESS MEETING.
After the reports had been read the con
gregation was dismissed. The members
of the Port Society remained in the church
and the annual business meeting was
held. The election for officers resulted as
follows:
President—lt. B. Reppard.
First Vice President—J. I. Stoddard.
Second Vice President —Joseph D.

The Florida Supreme Court Land De
cision.
Editor Moaning Neics: The recent de
cision of the Florida Supreme Court in
the case of Moody vs. the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railroad, which has
been represented as so startling and ex
traordinary—as invalidating the title to
millions of dollars worth of property
compelling railroads to pay private citi
zens “compensation” for right of mu>,
“whatever those citizens may choose to
demand,” besides discouraging all rail
road enterprise and plunging the State
into general disaster, seems, after al ,
but a simple and comparatively harmless,
matter, from which no one need sutler
either in purse or through apprehension.
The decision but clears aM'ay the rubbish
of our hasty methods, M'hieli of late years
we pile up with scarce a thought to ob
scure the rights of citizens, and while
setting forth the exclusive right ot the
Legislature to exercise the powers of
“eminent domain,” explains vvhat
the law means by “just
compensation” to the citizen whose prop
erty is condemned to public use. the
question is certainly one of interest, es
pecially to towns and cities and to bind
owners on railroad lines, but the decision
presents nothing new or startling—it
takes nothing from the chartered pri\ 1-
leges of corporations, and adds nothing to
the rights of the citizen. It simply says
that since by law the citizen is to receive
“just compensation,” a court of laM' can
not recognize a bond, a judgment, or an
award of commissioners as such just com
pensation. and for the very best of reasons ■
these things are but evidences ol an obli
gation somewhere existing, and not the
obligation itself. “Just compensation is
the thing or things actually received by
the party entitled to l'eceive, in quality
and quantity equal to the precise magni
tude of the loss or injury sustained. This,
no corporation retuses in acquiring land
from the citizen, and hence, thei-e is no
conflict betMeen the railroads and the
courts on the subject; but railroad
attorneys may have fallen into the error,
as appears in this case, of supposing that
thev may enter upon and enjoy the con
demned land of the citizen prior to the
discharge of the obligation embodied in
“just compensation,” whereas they were
by lum* not entitled to enjoy until com
pensation had been made. It this is true,
and the railroads in Florida find them
selves involved in the difficulty, the worst
that can happen to them in the premises
will be but the reappointment of com
missioners and the reassessment ot the
lands. The tact that the roads now
occupy the lands and have made them
much more valuable than when the first
assessments were made, will place them
at no disadvantage in the reassessment .
Commissioners could not take into con
sideration the increased value ol
the lands after so long occupation
by the roads nor would
intelligent citizens think it desirable at
this late date to question settled transfers
of title, which, if uprooted by the recent
decision, would be immediately re-es
tablished in the courts without gain to
the original proprietors. No State, much
less the State of Florida, now just emerg
ing from the background of “hope delei - -
red,” and advancing to the front upon her
railroads, would desire to see them halt,
or seriously disturbed in their progress.
To her liberal encouragement the State
is indebted for the numerous lines now
crossing her territory in every direction,
and it M ould be a matter of deep regret
M ere she now to permit the inauguration
of any policy calculated to shackle or re
tard the splendid progress making toward
the full development ot her great re
sources. Spectator.

Cancer for Five Years.
The interests of humanity seem to de

facts: Two months ago my attention was
called to the case of a poor woman who
was said to be afflicted M ith a cancer. 1
found her with an ulcer on her shoulder
at least five inches m circumference, an
gry, painful, and giving the patient no
rest day or night for six months. I ob
tained a supply of Swift’s Specific, which
[ persuaded her to try. She has taken
five bottles, the result of M hich is that the
ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing re
maining hut a small scab, not larger than
one’s finger nail, and her general health
is better than for five years past. She
seems to be perfectly cured. 1 consider
its effects wonderful—almost miraculous.

A Key to Economy and Success, and
How to Alake a Fortune.
It is undoubtedly the greatest part ot
human nature to get the key to economy
and success, M hich when once got is a
true blessing. It has been our aim for
many years to acquire this key, which by
personal exertion we have at last attain
ed. Economy is no doubt the only way to
success, and where there is success there
is fortune. Nom-, the idea is hoM' to ac
cumulate that fortune. We will now an
swer, which is very plain once seen into,
viz: By buving your Clothing from B. H.
Levy & Bro., the only reliable Clothing
House in this citv, where you can save at
least 35 per cent, on your purchases.
Think of the old adage, “every cent saved
is made,” and every cent made leads to a
fortune. They are also making a grand
clearing out sale of this season’s stock to
make room for their Spring Stock, which
is now coming in. Call and see them.

A Strange City
Is Savannah; antiquated in some things
and peculiarly original in others. Ferhaps
in no other particular so unlike other
large cities as in the character of its
suburbs. The poorer classes of our com
munity have manifested the sagacity
usually seen among the rich in other
places in the matter of appropriating the
suburbs. It is usually the case that men
of means, appreciating the cheapness or
land and lower taxes (or no taxes at an,
as in our case) secure to themselves
spacious grounds and build expensive
residences. When the march of time n.is
up the gap Intervening between them ana
the older part of the city, and their * an( |
becomes very valuable, then they sell
and repeat the operation. This is re
versed in Savannah, but should not ue.

Our Importßi Pianos
HAVE been greatly admired, and astonish
ment expressed at the remarkably low
price tor such good instruments. We knew
exactly what u as needed when we purchased
them in Europe, We were after GOOD, RE
LIABLE and SERVICEABLE INSTRU
MENTS, which we could guarantee as well
as those of home manufacture. The manu
facturer exports his instruments to England,
Australia, India, South America and other
countries, and the different climates have no
injurious effects upon them. The cases are
of thoroughly seasoned wood amt the works
honestly and conscientiously made by skillful
workmen. The best American Pianos are
manufactured bv Germans, and nine-tenths
of all Musical Instruments are imported from
Germany.
Our Pianos left Leipzig on the 12th of Octo
ber last and arrived here on 2d day of Feb
ruary, nearly four months on the way. They
were’ in the
Best Order aai in Good Tine!
We say it, without fear of contradiction,
that Pianos arriving at destination in good
tune after a voyage of 500 miles by rail and
5,000 miles by sea, besides being carried four
times on drays, will do all that hi man skill
and ingenuity can accomplish. We stated
sometime ago that IMPORTED PIANOS
would staml our climate, and here is the
proof. Besides. New Orleans has imported
foreign Pianos for the last thirty years with
success, and there are now several foreign in
struments in Savannah (not from us) who are
highly prized bv their owners. We will have
a regular supply. We intend to keep them
right along.
