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.

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. STATE OF Weather. 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. Prisoners at the Jail Ready to Enter the State’s Service. There are seven prisoners in the jail sentenced to imprisonment in the peni tentiary, and awaiting the arrival of the guard to begin their respective terms of servitude to the State.

Those sentenced in Chatham Superior Court yesterday were James Williams, five years; John Brinson, eight years; Guy Lamar, four years. 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 and store property located ou river front be tween West Broad and Randolph streets, held this day, a large majority of the prop erty being represented, we were appointed a committee to ask your honorable body to 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.

H. F. Strobhar, Agent,— Adv. Connoisseurs smoke “Strait Web” Cigarettes, and will have no other, lor they are the choicest.— Adv. 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 succession of short blasts, alarm for cattle 011 the track or persons walking in front of the train. Two taps of the bell cord, signifies (train standing) start. One tap (train moving), stop. Five taps (train standing), call in flag man. • One tap (train moving), stop at next station. Three taps (train standing), back. Four taps (train moving), reduce speed. The torpedo signals are: One torpedo, danger; stop. Two torpedoes, caution; run carefully. THE WEATHER. Meteorological Summary for the Month of November, 1884. The News is indebted to Sergt. S. C.

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.” Wood, Coal and Blocks For sale by R. B.
