BETTER Fin i: IMtOTKCTIOX
A NEW Kit.B f\UIAi: STATION
TO UK !,MAIU,ISKi:i).
the Council Authorizes the Sait: o''
the Old “John W. Anderson" and
the Purchase ol a New Engine and
Hose Keel lor the Southern anti
Southwestern Sect ionsoftho City.
The City Couuoil he'd a three hour ses
sion last night. It was alter 11 o'clock
and going on towards midnight when tbo
last business was disposed of. The prin
cipal umtterof importance discussed was
the need of better lire protection for the
Southern and Southwestern sections of
the city.
At the last meeting of Council the Fire
Committee, in accordance with a resolu
tion by Alderman O’Connor, reported on
the matter of giving the southern part of
the city better tire protection. It was es
timated that anew engine, outfit and run
ning expenses lor the first year would
cost !fl,olo. To put the engine "John W .
Anderson" in repair, get more horses, pay
a foreman, driver, call men, etc., would
cost $7,110. A hose reel and outfit would
cost $2,970 for the first year. Alderman
tV ells moved that the report he laid upon
the table until the next meeting, so tuat
the Aldermen could have more time to
consider tne subject.
The report came up last night for con
sideration. The Fire Committee submit
ted a supplementary report recommending
the sale of the old steamer "John W. An
derson" and the purchase of anew steam
er and hose reel with the proceeds, in
creased by such an appropriation as
might be necessary. The committee es
timated that anew steamer and hose reel
complete can thus be put in service lor
$3,200, and allowing $3,300 for mainte
nance anew tiro station lullv equipped
would cost the city the first year nut
much above $0,500.
Alderman Thomas objected to the out
lay of so much money. He recognized
the necessity for better fire protection, but
be did not think the city could afford to
purchase au engine just at this time. He
believed a hose reel would answer the
purpose for the time being. He moved
the adoption ot the original resolution
providing for the purchase of a hose reel
alone.
Tbe question whether a hose reel with
out an engine would be sufficient appara
tus to do service in the part ol the city for
which it is intended was debated at
length. Alderman Weils favored the
purchase of an engine. Chief Fireman
Fernandez was questioned by several
members of tbe Council in regard to the
apparatus of the Kire Department and as
to the best location of an engine or reel,
and if both are necessary. Alderman
Th"mas’ motion to purchase a reel
■without an engine was lust. Aid. Bogart
then moved to purchase an engine nnd
reel in accordance with the recommenda
tion of the Fire Committee’s supplement
ary report, providing ihev be located
where tbe Protection Hose Co.’s reel now
is, and that the Protection Hose Co.’s
reel be moved to the southwestern section
of tbe city.
A majority of the Council, while It
favored the purchase of an engine and
reel, did not deem it advisable to fix their
location without consulting the Fire
Committee and tire department officers,
and Alderman Bogart’s motion was voted
clown.
Tbe Fire Committee’s (supplementary
report was then adopted, all but Aider
man Thomas voting for it. The location
of the engine and reel is left to the Fire
Committee. It will probably be located
at tbe corner of Huntingdon and Barnard
streets, opposite tii jail.
An ordinance fixing new quarantine
regulations, ns outlined in the Morning
News yesterday, was introduced and read
for the first time and laid over uuder tbe
rules.
A nuraher or petitions and applica
tions were received, and either
granted or referred to the pro
per committees. Tho managers of the
Telfair Academy ol Arts and Sciences
asked permission to extend the sidewalk
on the Slate street side of the academy,
and to build an iron fence on the State,
President, aud St. Julian street sides.
Tbe Chatham Artillery Centennial Com
mittee asked permission to make a fire
works display in the l’ark extension dur
ing Centennial week. The committee
also extended the Mavor and Aldermen
an invitation to attend the grand banquet
which the Chathams will give on the
night of their Centennial celebration,
Monday, May 3.
A number of matters of minor interest
were disposed of, occupying the Council
until lute.

I GUNrOTVDE!! STARTS A BLAZE.
! Dautsch * Grocery <M Henry and Dr.tr
ton Street* Burned.
' A few miuutos before 1 o'clock this
! morning residents in '.he neighborhood of
j Henry and Dravton streets were
startled by * loud explosion, fol-
J lowed by a rattling of doors and
j the crashing of window panes. The
people rushed out of their houses into tbe
street to see what was the matter, and
taw the grocery store of (.'has. Is, Deutsch,
i >n the northwest corner of Henry and
Drayton streets, in flames.
'The front of the store on Henry street
was blown out, exposing the entire inte
rior, whit ft was a mass of fiercely burn-
I tug (lames. The wreckage of the building
i lay all over tbe street. Policeman Dwyer,
| who beard the explosion anu hurried to
i the scene, turned in ail alarm calling out
the fire department. Tile first alarm was
j loilowed shortly afterward by a sec
j ond alarm caused by the lnstrii
• meat not working properly. After
] the door uttbe signal box had been closed
j the alarm went off again, bringing out
j the reserve engines, which returned to
Itueir quarters after responding to the
call, there being no need for t heir services.
Tne explosion was believed to have been
caused by the ignition of about 25 pounds
of gunpowder, whicli was kept next to a
can of kerosene and amougotber goods on
the Henry street side of the store. How
it was ignited remains a mystery. Mr.
George Schroeder. who occupied the
house adjoining the store, on Henry
| street, had returned home, with his wife
| and child, a short time before, and had
tallen asleep on the lounge. The shock ot
I the explosion threw him to the floor,
j but fortunately he managed to
save his wile and child before the fire
| obtained headway. He lost pretty much
all of his household furniture which, how
ever. was covered by insurance in Whea
ton's agency to too extent of SI,OOO. Tbe
store, as could be learned, was closed up
about 10 o’clock bv Mr. Deutsch, the pro
prietor. who then left for his boarding
l ouse on State street. His clerk, John
Hi ley, who sleeps in a room at tne rear of
the store, had previously gone to the
Theatre, but returned about 12 o’clock,
and his companiion said he saw him go
into the store and into bis room,
hut he bad not seen him since.
It was feared that he was in tbe buiding
when tbe explosion occurred and bad per
ished in the fire, but he was afterwards
seen down-town, having left tbe stores
few minutes after ho went in.
Mr. Deutsch was not at the fire, but it
is said had about sl,Kon insurance on bis
stock, but in what agencies could not be
ascertained. The building and stock
were entirely destroyed.
THE CLOSING DAYS OF LENT.
The Observances of Holy Thursday—
The Office of the Teoebr.e.
To-day is Maundy Thursday, or Thurs
day in Holy Week. Tne day before Good
Friday has been marked from an early age
of the church by acts of humility, in imi
tation of that of Christ in washing the
feet of His disciples on the eve of his pas
sion.
Yesterday was Wednesday in Holy
Week, and last night tbe office of the Ten
ebric was chanted in the Roman Catholic
churches. The namo Tenebrai is given to
the lauds and matins which are usually
chanted on Wednesday evening of Holy
Week. At the beginning of the cilice
which is chanted by the clergy of the en
tire diocese, who assemble in too sanctu
ary, thirteen lighted candles are placed
on a triangular candelabrum erected
within the chancel rail, and at tbe end oi
each psalm one is put out until only a sin
gle candle is left lighted at the apex of
'he triangle. During the singing of the
Benedictus the candles on the high altar
are extinguished, while at the antiphon
after the Benedictus toe single candle
It'll alight is hidden at the Epistle corner
of the altar, to lie brought out again at
the end of the office. This extinguishing
of lights (whence probably the name
Tenebrse) is intended to figure tne glow
ing darkness of the time when Christ, the
Light of tUe World, wus taken. The last
candle, according to Benedict XIV., is
bidden, not extinguished, to signify that
dealt could not really obtain dominion
over tbe Saviour, although it appeared to
do so. The clappiug of hands made at
the er.d of the office is said to signify tbe
confusion consequent upon the death of
the Saviour.
The observances of to-day in the Roman
Catholic and Episcopalian churches are
especially solemn and impressive. There
will be almost oontinual services in the
Cathedral from now until Easter is past.
At Christ ( Episcopal)Church the observ
ances will be most solemn. At&t. John’s
the holy communion will be celebrated at
8 o'clock this evening.
To-morrow will be the great day of
mourning, and is the most solemn davof
the year in the church. In all churches
which observe Lent the services are
marked with unusual solemnity.
The services of Holy Week, which have
been in progress in the Lutheran church
since Sunday last, will be continued by a
German service to-night at Bp.ni. On
Good Friday there will be preaching, and
service preparatory to the holv commun
ion at 11 a. m. On Easter Sunday morn
ing there will be Contirmation and holy
communion, and at night the Sabbath
school will celebrate its anniversary.
Rev. Prof. A. G. Voigt, of Newberry
College, S. C., is assisting the pastor in
the services.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. APRIL 22. 1886,
A JAPANESE WEDDING.
! an Illustration of Bow They Many In
Far-Off Japan.
Japanese lanterns, huge Japanese fans,
gorgeously figured screens and portieres
lent an Oriental bazar sort of air to the
Sunday School room of the independent
Presbyterian eh arch last night. The room
was fitted up especially for a Japanese
wedding and an audience of 300 assembled
to see the ceremony. The tying of the
knot lasted three-quarters of an hour, and
it was conducted with a degree of solemn
ity that has never been grafted upon the
performance ot tbe rite in this country.
Whateverapparent advantages the Japan
ese way may possess it is unlikely that it
will become the rage in this country,if it is
true, as someone remarked, that the bride
and groom are not introduced until tne
certificate is signed. That bars out the
romantic courtship episode which, it is
pretty certain, young Americans will not
give up.
Singing—
*• Brightly dawns our wedding day;
Joyous hour, we give tbee greeting,”
eight maids, two fathers-in-law, two
mothers-in-law. and the bride and groom
formed in a semi-circle on the platform.
Tbe bride, Miss Lida Fleming, wore veil
ing and a white embroidered bridal robe
that was said to he genuinely Japanese.
Mr. Thomas i lay’s bridegroom suit was
cut according to the latest, fashion-plate
of “Ko-Ko.” the leading tailor of l'itipu.
No two of the costumes were alike, and
for variety and coloring they would havo
discounted a kaleidoscope or anew novel
ist’s description of a sunset.
After t.be singing of the madrigal the
maids disappeared. The most important
functionary at a real Japanese wedding
is the directress. Miss Lula Wilbur per
formed tbe duties last nignt. She stood
in tbe background with the groom’s pro
spective tather-in-law and mother-in-law,
Miss Mamie Cox and Mr. Willie Dixon,
on her right, and tbe bride’s father and
mother-in-law elect, Mr. Lee Wiley and
Miss Jessie Dale, on the left. To these
the bride and groom salaamed most rev
erently. Then the contracting parties
took seats in the middle of the group,
while the maids came out by twos and
made most profound sa'aams. The
maids were Misses Lillie, Hunter,
Launev, Fleming, Ingraham, Thomas,
Stieilman and Wilbur, As they bowed
they seated themselves and presently the
directress brought in a small teapot and
a cup and saucer on a tray. The groom
was served first and he drank three cups
of the beverage. Then the bride drank
three and so did tbe mas-in-law and pas
in-law. The maids got only one cupiul
each.
At that point the master of ceremonies
led the presumably happy couple off the
platform, but came back again in a min
ute or two, when all had more tea and
rice cakes. Tbe eating of the cakes was
attended with more smacking of lips than
is considered good etiquette in this coun
try. The last feature was the chorus by
the maids and relatives.
“For he’s gone and he’s married Ynm Yura—
Yum Yum!”
There were no congratulations, no
minister, no fee, no promise “to cherish
and obey,’’ no ring and no remarks, ex
cept by the audience.
AU of the maids and the bride had fol
lowed the instruction of the chorus in the
“Mikado,” and had painted the pretty
face and dyed the coral liu. The bride
too heeded Pitti Sing’s injunction to “sit
with downcast eye.”
The entertainment was novel and inter
esting and amused the audience very
much. W oen it was all over the audience
had a supper in the basement of the
chapel. Tne bill of fare was a hand
painted card that was kept as a souvenir.

RAIN SPOILS THE GAME.
THE HOME CLUB STARTS OFF
WITH FOUR EASY RUNS.
The Memphians still in the Field With
Savannah Counting at the Bat When
the Game i Called—The Game* Else
where—Tueaday’s Winner* Defeated.
The second game between Savannah
and Memphis was not played yesterday
on account of rain. The weather was
threatening early in the afternoon, but
with the hope that the rain would blow
over, a lair crowd went out to the ball
grounds. The grand stands were well
tilled naif an hour before tne time for tbo
game to be called. Both clubs were in
the grounds practicing. The Savannahs,
in their new uniforms, showed up like a
new team. The suits are of pearl gray
flauuel, with maroon trimming. The caps
are of the same material as tue
suits. The stockings are dark maroon.
The uniform is neat, without being m any
way flashy, and adds grtatlv to the ap
pearance ot the team.
After watching half an hour’s practice
the crowd became impatient for tne game
to begin. A heavy thunder shower had
been coming up for some time, but the
crowd hoped that it would go around and
that the game would cot, be interrupted.
At 4 o'clock Umpire Brennan swept the
dust off the homo plate and called the
game.
The visitors went into the field, and
Savannah went to tbe bat. O'Leary, the
loiuhanded pitcher, and Fusselbaob held
the points for the Memphians. Collins
led off’ witn a safe hit into centre field,
aril trotted down to first huso. Moriarity
loilowed close on his heels. O’Dav drove
tbe ball out of reach into right field, and
brought Collins, who had stolen to
second, down to third, and Moriarity to
second. Strief followed U’Day at the oat.
bringing Collins home and tilling the
liases. Field tnatiu a safe bit, and
Moriarity came home and ;
was loilowed by O'Day and ;
Strief, counting tour runs without a man
out. Field was on second and Miller was
at the bat, with six balls on O’Leary,
when it began to rain and tbe game was
called.
The crowd waited patiently until the
half hour allowed by tne rules hud
elapsed, when Manager Morton announc
ed that the game was postponed until
Friday, when it will be played on the off
day in tbe schedule. The regular sche
dule game will be played to-day.
Manager Sneeil, of tne Memphis club,
expects his new catcher, Oi Broughton,
from Janesville, AVis., on this morning’s
train. Hhe arrives Knouff will he put in
the box with Broughton to catch, other
wise O Leary and Fusseibach will be the
visitors’ battery. Either Neal or Nolan
and McLaughlin or Gillen will be tbe
battery for the home team, if Broughton
arrives it will probably be Nolan and
Gillen.
Atlanta Unfeatvd by Augusta.
Augusta, April 21.—About 800 people
gathered at the Ball Park to-day, to see
tne second game between Atlanta and
Augusta. The grounds were in a fair
condition, considering that a heavy rain
iell this morning. Both teams showed up
well. The game was won by tbe heavy
batting ol Augusta. Shatter dirt not prove
as effective to-day 7 as yesterday. The fol
lowing is the score:

Umpire McQuade was jeered in the first
part of the game iiy a tew. The better
element of the audience, however, soon
quieted tbe discontented ones. The im
pression should not be formed from this
demonstration that Augusta audiences
are “kicking crowds,” as has been said.
• )ur base ball admirers are as a rule par
tial to umpires and acquiesce in decisions
with no dissenting demonstration. Mr.
McQuade is highly spoken of here as hon
est in his rulings ami an authority on ball
matters.
M,con Defeats N ■ shville.
-M a con, April 21.—Macon defeated
Nashville this afternoon after a hard
fought battle. It took eleven innings to
decide the game, tne leatures of which
were hard pounding by both clubs and the
field work of Connolly and Danlells, of
tue Macons. When the visitors went to
the bat in the ninth inning they were
two runs behind, but hard hitting brought
two men over the dome pi ale, tieing tbe
game. The tenth inning was a blank for
both sides. A pretty two-bagger in tbe
eleventh inning and a wild pitch of
Bryan won the game toribe locals.
Nashville pitched Bryan, with Earle to
catch; Macon pitched Smith, with Decker
to catch. Bets are about even on to
