Yesterday’s Fire Record.
The Fire Department was called out
vestenlay afternoon about 2 o’clock, by
an alarm from signal box 23, at the Cen
tral Railroad depot. The officer on duty
at the depot heard the cry of fire on Mont
gomery street, and hurrying to the vicini
ty from which it came, discovered smoke
issuing from 'he roof of large two-story
frame residence on the southeast corner
of Montgomery and Btone streets. He
turned in an alarm summoning the de
partment. The fire was under control by
the time it arrived, and no water was
used except from buckets.
The flames were confined to the roof,
which was burned through In several
places. A burning chimney was the
cause of the fire, the cinders lighting ou
the dry shingles and igniting them like
tinder. The damage was slight, and will
be covered by a few dollars.
Yesterday morning a small fire occurred
in Broughton street lane, between Lin
coln and Abereorn streets, in a shanty
occupied by several negroes. A private
alarm was sent to the firemen's headquar
ters, and a detail of firemen were dis
patched and succeeded in extinguishing
the fire with buckets without calling out
the department.
The Stolen Turnout# Recovered.
The horse owned by Messrs. A. and A.
G. Ehrlich, which was driven away from
in front of Suiter's saloon Tuesday night,

hour vesterday morning. It had
been driven nearly to death.
It was taken to Armstrong's
livery 6table and left there. Yesterday
Constable Burke returned it to the own
ers. The man who took it is supposed to
be a mulatto.
The turnout which was supposed up to a
late hour to have been stolen from Charles
Blance was lound in the street bv a negro,
who hitched the horse to a telegraph
pole on Gordon street lane, near Whitaker.
Later in the night, learning that the turn
out belonged to Mr. Blance, he drove to

THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
Aldermen Make Quick Work of the
Business Before Them—The New Jail
Question Revived—The Harbor to be
Inspected.
Chairman Wilder presided at the City
Council last night. The session was short,
and business was rushed through with
hurriedly. Alderman Minis’ ordinance
prohibiting any city officer from making
contracts or purchases in which the
relation of debtor and creditor should
arise between the Mayor and Aldermen
and any individual in the Board, or
Arm in which they might be interested,
created considerable discussion. The or
dinance virtually put a bar upon any
firm in which an'Alderman is interested
dealing with the city. Alderman Hamlet
did not think the ordinance a just one.
He believed an Alderman had as much
right to have an individual dealing with
the city as any firm, and he should not
support the ordinance.
Alderman Minis urged the adoption of
the ordinance as a safeguard in any case
that might arise in the ititure.
Alderman Wells thought the city would
be in a bad fix were the ordinance to pass.
Some of the Aldermen were interested in
gas companies, in electric lights
and railroad stock, and were
connected with other concerns
with which the city had to deal. If the
ordinance were to be put in operation, it
would l>e barred from any dealing with
these concerns. He did not believe it
necessary at this time. The Council was
about to go out; he did not believe it
right to dictate to the incoming Council
the course it should pursue.
Alderman Hanley concurred in the opin
ion of Alderman Wells. After a spirited
discussion, the ordinance was defeated
by a vote of 9 to 2.
The new jail question was brought up
again by a petition from the County Com
missioners, renewing their appli
cation for the lots on Habersham
street and Perry street lane
as a site for the building about to be com
menced. The county has already pur
chased three lots on Liberty and Price
streets. The Commissioners, however,
believe tnat the location of the city prop
erty renders it more available as a site
for’the jail, and have made another effort
to secure it. The .petition was
referred to the Committee on Public Sales
and City Lots.
The ifeeholders appointed to assess the
value of property used in extending the
citv’s streets across the Ogeechee canal
recommended the payment of 10 cents per
foot for a space of 34 by 60 feet, making
an assessment of $204.
The action of the Sanitary Commission,
recommending the sending of a delegate
to the Sanitary Conference at Washing
ton next week, was reported to the Coun
cil. and Dr. J. T. McFarland was elected
to represent the city.
The Committee on River and Harbor
Improvements was authorized to thor
oughly investigate the condition of the
river along the city front, and if it was
found shoaling at any point, to report the
causes, and what action the Council
should take for the protection of the har
bor.
The committee on assessment was in
structed to cause an assessment to be
made of all real estate and improvements
that have not heretofore been assessed for
the purposes of taxation for the ensuing
year.

CRIMINALS PAY THE PENALTY.
The Superior Court Disposes of Some
of the Grand Jury s Indictments.
John Brinson, the negro who stole a
horse from W. J. Roberts, on the Louis
ville road, on Nov. 2, was tried in the
Superior Court yesterday, aud sentenced
to 8 years In the penitentiary. The cir
cumstances of the theft were given in the
Morning News at the time of Brinson’s
capture in Builoch county.
On Sept. 22 James Williams, a negro,
assaulted and cut George Steward with a
knife. He was indicted lor an assault
with intent to murder. When the case
was called for trial the prisoner admitted
his guilt, and was sentenced to 5 years in
the penitentiary.
The case of James Waller, the young
man who was indicted for burglary with
the intention to commit rape upon Caro
line Carter on the night of Nov. 7, was
tried vesterdav. The daughter and her
father’ both testified on the part ot the
State. It was shown that the prisoner
had been found in Mr. Carter’s residence,
some distance from the girl’s room, on the
night in question, and that he had previ
ously been ordered to k- ep away from
the house ou account of having been
found in the girl’s room almut a year ago.
Toe testimony was not deemed sufficient,
however, to sustain the charge, and the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
Tne proceedings of tae court were con
cluded with the trial of a negro named
Guy Lamar, indicted for assault
with iuttnt to murder. It ap
pears that on Aug. 9 last a
partv of negroes were being paid for their
week’s work, among the number being
the prisoner, who, on applying for his
wages, was told that Edward Hanlev, an
oth-r negro, had taken the money lor “iin.
He found Hanley on South Broad street
lane, near East Broad street, and asked
him for6o cents, the sum which he claim
ed was due. Hanley, it appears, had but
3o cents for Lamar, and a dispute follow
ed which ended in Hanley being seriously
cut. Both parties were arrested by the
police, and Lamar was committed f r
trial. The jury, after being out about
two hours, returned a verdict finding the
prisoner guilty and recommending him to
the mercy ol the court. He was sentenced
to the penitentiary for four years.
A RIG LIBEL DISMISSED.
Judge Fardee’* Decree In the Case of
McGluty against the Steamship Glad
iolus.
The decree of Judge Pardee, of the Uni
ted States Ciicuit Court, in the case of
Margaret McGinty, who sued the steam
ship Gladiolus for f 15,000 damages for the
death of her husbaud, a stevedore, who,
while looking for dunnage, fell into the
coal bunker through an open hatchway
and was killed, has been received. It
affirms the decision of the court below
and dismisses the libel. After reviewing
the facts of the case Judge Pardee says
that there was no duty upon the part of
the master and crew to look to the hatch
es and to the preparations to receive the
cargo; nor was there neglect of duty in
having the doors open and
the hatchway thiough which
McGintv entered" and met his death un
covered! The ship at the time was under
the coutrol of the stevedore and his gaugs
of men. McGinty was negligent in enter
ing the between-deeks and the coal
bunker without first procuring sufficient
light, if light was necessary. If there was
negligence in not removing theupp2r deck
hatches over the coal bunker, it wa9 the
negligence of the stevedore and a gang of
men who had been aboard the vessel be
fore McGinty. The court found as a con
clusion of law that there was no negli
gence upon the part of the ship or its
master and crew. The libel was dis
missed and the costs taxed upon the com
plainant.
PENITENTIARY CANDIDATES.

sentenced to imprisonment in the peni
tentiary, and awaiting the arrival of the

Court yesterday were James Williams,

The Merchants and the Sidewalks.
Tae merchants are preparing for an
active holiday trade. In years past it
has been the custom during the holiday
season for the City Council to permit the
display of goods on the sidewalks. The
regular city ordinance forbids the use of
the sidewalks for such purposes. The
matter was brought up before the Council
last night by a petition from a Congress
street merchant to use the sidewalk in
front of his store. A discussion arose as
to granting the petition, and the ordinane
in force last year during the holiday sea
son was readopted with a slight change.
The merchants this year between Dec. 5
and 31 will be allowed the use of the side
walks 2 1 4 feet from the buildings, and the
street 3 feet from the curb for the display
of tbeir goods. This does not permit the
sale of goods from booths or stands, but is
intended only to facilitate the business of
merchants who have articles to display
outside ot their stores.
Local Personal.
A special meeting of the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry was held last night, when
Lieut. Sanford W. Branch tendered bis
resignation. A committee of five was ap
pointed to nominate his successor.
86,500 DAMAGES.
A Central Railroad Train Hand’s In
demnity for Injuries Received in the
Millen Collision.
The attention of the City Court was oc
cupied yesterday in the trial of the case
of J. R. Wilson against the Central Rail
road and Banking Company, in which
the plaintiff claimed damages to the
amount of $20,000 for injuries received
while employed ou the road as a train
hand on Dec. 13 last. It will be remem
bered that on the morning of the 13th a
collision occurred about 14 miles west of
Millen between an up freight train and
the Atlanta express, which resulted in
the death of one person and the serious
injury of several others, including Wilson.
The testimony showed that Wilson was
badly bruised, and that he was in
jured to such an extent internally
as to be permanently incapacitated for
work. It was also shown that 19 years
ago he was dangerously ill with typhoid
t. ver, and that soon after he was tempo
rarily crippled by a swollen leg. The de
fendants undertook to introduce evidence
to show that \V ilson had been more or less
incapacitated on that account up to the
time the collision took place, and that
’•einz at fault he could not recover lrom
the railroad company. Evidence was in
troduced by the plaintiff which showed
that Wilson’s leg got well, aDd that for
nearly 20 years and up to the time of the
collision he had been an active working
man, and that the injuries he received in
the accident were the fault of the rail
way company. The counsel for the plain
tiff cited legal authorities to the effect
that if a person should be
injured on a railway and
without bis fault, the railway would
be liable. The case of the plaintiff seemed
to be clearly established. The jury re
tired and, after being out about three
hours, returned a verdict awarding the
plaintiti"so,soo damages.
THE ItIVER FRONT RAILROAD.
Meeting of the Owners of Wharves and
Buildings on the North Side of Bay
Street.
A meeting of the owners and repre
sentatives of owners of wharves on the
river front and property on the north side
of Bay street was held yesterday morn
ing at the office of N. A. Hardee’s Son &
Cos. for the purpose of considering what
action was necessary to protect their in
terests in the matter ot the pro
posed railroad. John L. Hardee, Esq.,
was called to the chair, and Mr. John
Sullivan was requested to act as secre
tary. The discussion of the questions
bearing upon the project took a wide
range, but the general sentiment appeared
to lie in favor of building the road, pro
vided the entire liDe lrom West Broad
street to the eastern wharves was con
structed and the property suitably pro
tected. In the absence ot definite infor
mation as to the plans for building tfctf
r ,ad, and the exact route to be taken and
the guarantees to be given for its proper
construction, it was thought best to ap
point a committee to request the City
Council to postpone further action until
the property holders were fully advised
in the matter. A committee was appointed
for that purpose, and the lollowing letter
was prepared and presented to the Coun
cil last night:
Savannah, Dee. 3, 18S1.
Jo the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of
the Cityof Savannah:
Giintlemen—At a meeting of the owners
and representatives of owners of the wharf

postpone final action on the ordinance intro
duced at the last meeting of Council relative
to a freight railroad connecting the east aud
west cno of the city, until said property own
ers have an opportunity to center w ith your
honorable body in reference to this very im
portant matter.
We are instructed to ask that a special or
adjourned meeting he heid at some early date,
and to which meeting the Central Railroad
Company he invited to sen t representative-,
so that said property holders may express
their views after being informed of the exact
route proposed to be taken, the plans for con
struction,and other important items connected
therewith. We consider the matter as one of
the most important that has been before your
honorable body in years, a n d we trust that
whatever is done, ra v be after due and care
ful consideration, and that it may merit the
approval of al! citizens interested in the fu
ture of our whole citv. Very respectfully,
John Flannery,
John I. stoddard,
Alfred llavwood,
John L. Harder,
Committee from Property Owners.
The letter was read and referred to the
.committee of the whole, to be considered
at a special meeting, to which the memo
rialists and the railroad authorities will
be invited.
THE INVESTIGATION ENDED.
The Steamboat Inspecters Reserve
Their Decision in the Chesapeake
Collision.
Ihe investigation into the collision
between the Win. Lawreuce and Decatur
H. Miller in the Chesapeake, was con
tinued on Monday before the steamboat
inspectors at Baltimore.
Capt. Hooper testified that while en
tering the lower Craighill ehannel he saw
the three lights of a steamer coming down.
The steamer was about three-quarters of
a mile distant. "I heard one blast of her
whistie, for which I returned one blast
and ported my wheel. Seeing the steamer
continue ou her course with all lights
in view, and that she had not ported her
w heel in accordance with her one whistle,
I gave another one blast of the
whistle as a double assurance of
my answer to her first request.
The steamer was approaching very
near at this time. My wheel was
now hard to port, when my second
single blast was answered with two from
the steamer, and all at <>nce her green
light swung to view. I immediately or
dered my engines stopped and backed at
full speed. This was the only resort 1
had, knowing that the vessel was cross
ing mv bow. In a few seconds we came
together, my vessel heading about six
points to the’eastward of the centre of the
channel. What I did was in strict com
pliance with the law as laid down in the
rules in my pilot house, placed there by
the United States Local Inspector.” Ou
crosse-xamination Capt. Hooper said the
Lawrence was making nine or ten knots
an hour, and could be reversed in five or
six lengths. If he had kept a steady
course from the time he first saw the Miller
he would have passed without porting his
wheel.
Mr. Decatur H. Miller, of the steamship
company, and Capt. Clarke, of the sunken
steamship, cross-examined Capt. Hooper,
but were unable to shake his testimony.
Robert Shauer, second mate of the Law
rence, John Kaufman, quartermaster,
I. Bchroeder, seaman, and William
Crawford, first assistant engineer, cor
roborated Capt. Hooper’s testimony. The
inspectors will not render their decision for
several days.

RAILROAD signals.
Language of the Lantern, Flag, and
Whistle, and How it Is Interpreted.
A new code of signals was recently
adopted by some of the railroads in the
South and West, and went into effect a
liitle over a week ago. A News reporter
called at the general office ot the Savan
nah, Florida and Western Railway and
was informed that the new code had not
been adopted on any ot its lines.
It is wholly dissimilar to the one now in
use, and the propriety ot adopting it had
not been discussed.
The signals used by trains on the Cen
tral Railroad are in many respects simi
lar to those of the new code, and are as
follows:
Red signifies danger and is a signal to
stop.
Green signifies caution. •
White signifies safety, and is a signal
that the way is clear.
A blue signal will be used to stop trains
at flag stations.
Red lights are dispensed with, except
as danger signals, and blue lights substi
tuted.
A red signal carried on the front of an
engine indicates that another train is fol
lowing having the same rights as the
train carrying the signal.
A white’signal carried on the front of a
train indicates that it is a wild train.
The last car of every train will carry
a red and a white light by night to show
that it is the last car of the train.
A motion ol the hand and lamp signals
crosswise with the track signifies stop.
A flag or lamp raised and lowered signi
fies back.
A motion in a vertical circle means go
ahead.
One long blast of the whistle is a signal
for approaching stations, railroad cross
ings, etc.
One short blast, apply brakes.
Two short blasts, release brakes.
Four short blasts (train moving), call
attention to signals carried.
Five short blasts, call in flagmen.
One 6hort and one long blast, followed
by one short blast, signifies that the train
is approaching a road crossing.

A BALTIMORE SENSATION.
A Lady Whose Life Was in Imminent
Peril Rescued by Her Husband.
Among the many pleasantly located and
cozily comfortable homes in the eastern
section of the city of Baltimore, that of
Mr. William A. Thompson, at No. 208
North Bond street, would strike a visitor
as possessing more than ordinary advan
tages for home life. Mr. Thompson is
highly esteemed among a large circle of
friends, is a prominent member of Marley
Lodge >’o. 10T, I. 0.0. F.. and is generally
well known in that section of the city. In
order to confirm certain statements which
had come to him indirectly, and thereby
secure data f-r an interesting article, a
reporter called at Mr. Thompson’s resi
dence. Mrs. Thompson being asked for,
soon made her appearance and greeted
her visitor with that degree of kindness
and Civility which is always an evidence
of intelligence and refinement. She readi
ly consented to tell the story of her peril
and her timely rescue from death. We
give her statement in her own words:
“I have been a sufferer for fully 17
years, during which time I have endured
the most awful misery of mind and l>ody.
My illness became most alarming about
five years avo. T was attended by Pro
fessor Yates and Dr. Stephenson, ot this
city, both of wtom stated that 1 had the
most aggravated case of nervous dyspep
sia and indigestion they had ever attend
ed or heard of. I am now nearly 60 years
of age and was told by my physicians
that owing to my advanced lite the pro
cess of cure would be slow and difficult.
I waited patiently for the expected relief,
but seemed to grow worse, until finally I
concluded I had to die. I could not eat
the smallest rno-sel without suffering
the most terrible agony. My
whole body was racked with
pain and misery. Frequently I had
night sweats, and, believing that 1 was
dying, would send for my friends and
neighbors. My limbs would become rigid
ana cold, and 1 have often thought I was
paralyzed, for I completely lost all power
of action, and would lie in bed gasping
for breath. During all this long period
of suffering the doctors afforded me no re
lief. I grew emaciated, could not sleep,
entirely lost my appetite, and was truly
the most miserable woman imaginable.
My whole nervous system was shattered.
1 never expected to get well, and my
friends have since told me that
they expected to learn of my death at
any time. One day my husband pur
chased a bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters
and begged me to try it. I had no confidence
in medicine of any kind. I believed my case
hopeless, and expected to die suddenly in
one of the sinking spells, which I experi
enced about tbr e times each week. I,
however, took Brown’s Iron Bitters to
gratify my husband. After using three
bottles I began to feel better. When I
had finished the fourth bottle my husband
asd friends were able to notice a great im
provement in my general appearance.
My appetite returned, and I could cai
anything without the least bad effects. I
rapidly grew stronger and more fleshy.
When I had taken six bottles 1 knew that
I was a well woman, and at the present
time 1 never felt better in my life, and
have gained 45 pounds in flesh. I firmly
bclie\ r e that Brown’s Iron Bitters saved
my life, for 1 had stopped taking all other
medicines and only used Brown’s Iron
Bitters, and if 1 had not used that I am
satisfied I would not be alive to-day.
‘•I most cheerfully recommend that
medicine to everybody. There are hun
dreds ot my friends -who daily congratu
late me upon my complete restoration to
health and vigor, and 1 gladly give any
desired information to those who feel in
terested in my remarkable cure.” Mrs.
Tbompson is now a hale, hearty and vig
orous’lady, and judging from her present
appearance one would not suppose she
had ever been seriously ill.
Mrs. George Chambers, 189 McDonough
street, Savannah, says: “I suffered from
dyspepsia. Brown’s Iron Bitters com
pletely restored my health. It also cured
my son of the same complaint.”
Mrs. Annie Benken, 10 William street,
Savannah, says: ‘‘l suffered with severe
neuralgia in the neck and could find no
relief. I tried Brown’s Iron Bitters with
very favorable results.
Mr. William McCormick (Mailing
Clerk), Savannah, says: “Brown’s Iron
Bitters cured me of dyspepsia with which
I had suffered for twenty years. It is a
wonderful medicine.”
Mrs. L. Bandy, Oliver street, near
West Broad street, Savannah, says: “My
mother and i have taken Brown’s Iron
Bitters for headache and general debility
with very beneficial results.”
Mr. Tobias G. Brown, 175 Congress
street. Savannah, says: “One bottle of
Brown’s Iron Bitters completely cured
me or biliousness. 1 heartily commend
its use.”
Mrs. A. K. Palmer, Savannah, Ga., savs:
S ‘l used Brown’s Iron Bitters as a tonic,
ami sincerely believe it to be the best
ma’.e. It imparts great strength.”
