Between l and 2 o'clock in the morn- j ing fire bir>ke out in a small one-story frame ' tenement on the south side of Goodwin’s lane, east of the Anderson street crossing of the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway. The light was seen by the firemen on duty : at No. 4 engine house. By the time they ; reached the Anderson street crossing the i building was about consumed. It was out of reach of water and no assistance could tie rendered by the department. The house i was owned and occupied by “Captain” Coffee (colored), and was totally destroyed. The loss is about $4OO. There was no inj surance. The fire is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. At 8:80 o'clock a local alarm was sent to No. 1 engine bouse and was telephoned to headquarters. Fire was discovered in the second story of a frame dwelling on the west side of Reynolds streets, north of President. The fire was caused by dump ing hot ashes in a box. The flames were extinguished before gaining much headway and the loss was light. The house is owned by Mrs. Ellen Monahan ami was occupied by Fred Dixon. A few minutes after 12 o'clock an alarm was turned in from box No. 33, at Wayne and West Broad streets. The box was out of order, and the irregular striking of the gongs confused the firemen, so that it was sometime before the fire was located. En fine Company No. 4 was the first to arrive. he fire was in a frame house on the north side of Berrien street, west of Jefferson. Sparks from a burning chimney set tire to a bundle of rags stuffed into a stove-pipe hole near the roof, and the flames communicated to the ceiling and then to the shingles. The damage is slight anil is fully covered by in surance. The house is owned by W. Con ners and is occupied by J. Wilkins (colored). Between 5 and (> o’clock last night the roof of a frame house on Farm street, between Pine and Orange, caught fire from (lying sparks and burned through. The flames were extinguished before gaining headway and the damage is slight. Fire Department Notes. The new engine being built at the Fa France works, Elmira, N. Y., to take the place of engine No. 1, is expected to lie ready for service by July 1. The new wide tire w heels and heavy axles for No. 4 engine have arrived from the Le France works. The company furnished them to the deportment without as,, the old wheels and axles being too ligbu for the high crossings and rough streets here. The hook and ladder truck, which has been undergoing reiHUin for some time, was replaced in service last, eight with its new equipment of ladders hooks, etc.., furnished by the La France Company. The old lad ders, which were Colly burned and broken up, will be repaved and placed on a wagon and will be ke at No. 4 engine house as a reserve unt 1 ' anew truck is built. Anew . apply and patrol wagon, built at O’Conner's shops for the lire department, was tested yesterday by Chief Fernandez. It is built after the pattern of insurance and pi ice patrol wagons used in large cities, r.iul will be used to carry supplies and men to fires, and will also lie used us an ambit lanee wagon in cases of accident. The wagon was thoroughly tested before being painted to see that everything about it is complete. Miss Jennie Smith, superintendent of the railroad department of the Womans’ Chris t ian Temperance Union, and a party of about t hirty ladies and gentlemen visileit firemens’ headquarters yesterday. The visitors were courteously received by Chief Fernandez, and were shown the workings of the depart ment. Tbe horses were brought out and the engines and truck delivered a short run. Miss (Smith made a short address to the fire men, in which .she pointed out the hardships they have to endure and the risks they rim in protecting the property and often the lives of citizens.

Savannah Lose 6 One of Its Most Prom ising Young Business Men. Mr. Walter McNeill, one of tbe members -of the firm of Peacock. Hunt & Cos., died at 1 ;S0 o'clock yesterday afternoon of typhoid fever. He had been sick but little more than a week, and his friends were greatly shocked at his death, a- thev did not con sider him dangerously ill. He was born in Robeson county, N.~ C., in 1849. When quite a young man he went to South Caro lina, where he conducted a large milling and turpentine business for ton or twelve years. In 1832 he removed to Worth county, Ga,, and engaged in the manufacture ot' naval stores. With his brother, Mr. Lawrence .McNeill, he invested largely in land. His business was very successful, and in 1883 he came to Savannah and started a commission house, under the firm name of W. A L. McNeill. A year later he was admitted into the firm of Peacock, Hunt & Cos., the largest nasal stores factors In the city. He remained an active member of that firm until his death. He was the firm’s salesman, and assumed a large share of the mqionsibiiity of the busi ness. Although comparatively a young man, being in his 38th year, he had by careful business management acquired a comfort able fortune. He was Vice President of the Board of Trade, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. No man was of more strict integrity. Physically lie was quite a large man, and his nature was genial and kind. He had many warm friends in this city, although he had resided here but a few years. About two weeks ago be made a trip to North Carolina, and was laden sick very shortly after his return. On Thuraday hie was removed from the hotel at which he was stopping to Mr. T. H. McMillan's resi dence. on New Houston street. His friends thought that he was improving until shortly before his death, when no was seised with a convulsion and died in a few moments. Mr. McNeill was a member of the First Presbyterian church aud unmarried. Mr. J, \Y. Hunt will leavo for North Carolina with the remains this morning. The deceased's aged father and mother are still living. SA VWi> ntOU THE BEN HOPE. The Mate and Pour Seamen Taken from Otiaabaw Inland. The mate and four seamen of the burned steamship Ben Hope arrived in port yester day on tho tug Levi C. Davis. 'They left the burning vessel with the others aud landed on St. Catherine’s Island Thursday night. From there they went to Ossabaw, where they spent Friday and the night fol lowing without food or shelter. They dug for water, but found it very brarkisn. A pig which they took from the burning ves sel they let loose on the island. The tug Levi C. Davis saw their signals of distress as she was passing the ialaud and went, to their assistance, and brought them to the cit y. They resorted at once to the British Vice Consul.

The Exhibition to Open at the Guards* Armory on Wednesday. The Savannah Floral and Art Associa tion’s spring exhibition will open Wedne - day afternoon at the Chatham Artillery’s armory. Friday’s wind storm injured the outdoor plants no little, and the floral ex hibit will consequently uot be quite so good as was hoped for. The art and fancy work display, however, promises to be exoeptionl ally good and will make up iua large degree for any shortcoming in the other depart ment. Had it not been for the cold snaps in March, and in the early part of April, the show would have been held a fortnight ear lier, when there was an abundance of roses and any floral display with plenty of good roses will be a success. A good display of potted prints is promised. There seems to be a great deal of interest taken in the coming show. Some of the officers of the association attendod the exhibition in Charleston last week. One of the gentlemen said yesterday that the hall in which the Charleston society held its show was so thronged with visitors that it was a hard matter to get around, and the hall was a large one too. “There is no reason why Savannah should not have just ns good a display and attract just as many visitors,” ho added. “The .railroads give special excursion rates and people go long distances to attend Charleston’s show. I have uo doubt it in worth $5,000 or more to the city every year. Strangers stay a day or two at the hotels and spend money liberally shopping. Savannah’s society ought to lie equally as successful when it gets a little older. All we want is to get the lovers of flowers thoroughly interested. Wo must try to give shows that visitors will willingly pay the price of admission to see. There are enough gardens and green houses in the city to always insure a display that would (111 the largest haft "we could get. The growers, amature and professional alike, should try to make the exhibitions a success, not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also be cause they can be made a . ucuniary benefit to the city." The work of covering the armory yard, in which the flowers will be displayed, 411 lie eomineno' a to-morrow, the electric light copi i-ny will illuminate the exhibi tion grounds and hall with the Westinghouse incandescent light, which the compauy is •’ntroducing in Savannah.

The steam yacht Climax, which has been in port for several days, left yesterday for Charleston, where she will be put aboard of the schooner W. W. Converse, the vessel which brought her out to Charleston, and will be taken back to New York. Her owner advertised her for sale here, but Sa vannah is apparently a poor market for such property. FOUNDERED AT SEA. Loss, of the Norwegean Berk Ragna The Crew Saved. A Loudon cable dispatch by Associated Press says that the British brig Energy, which arrived at Oporto, Friday, from St. Johns, N. F., had on board the crew of the Norwegean bark Regna. Capt. ICaledegar, which foundered while on a voyage from Savannah to St. Petersburg.

Simon Mann, Jr., Detained in Custody Under an Executive Warrant, An Atlanta special to the Mobkjng News says that au executive warrant was issued yesterday for the detention for twenty days of Simon Mann, Jr., who is in the custody of Sheriff Renan, of Chatham county. Mann is to lie held until a requisition from the Governor of South Carolina can be ob tained. Mann is charged with perjury, committed in Laurenskounty, and the war rant w as issued there (nr his arrest. One Chance in a Lifetime. The latest tiling out in insurance invest ments is tlie 10-20 insurance investment bonds of that staunch old company, the Manhattan Life. These bonds, which are payable in ten years, insure a man for twenty, at the end of which time he re ceives tne full amount of the bond, with ac cumulated profits aggregating 5 1-2 per cent, on the money invested. The company guarantee that tne bonds shall uot be sub ject to forfeiture after three payments have been made. They coutaiu neither suicide nor intemperance clauses, and after three years' payments the bonds are absolutely incontestible. In short, they are as free from technicalities as it is possible to make them. The Manhattan Life aims to furnish the very cheapest and most profitable form of insurance compatible w ith safety. An interesting example, printed in another column, of a bond issued at the age of 25, shows that the holder would mule a net profit of #4,041 on the in vestment of $7,532, besides getting his life insured for the whole twenty years. Tliis looks good enough for a reckless company to offer, whereas as a matter of fact the Manhattan Life is one of .the solidcst institutions in the city, and books up its bonds with as sets aggregating over $11,000,000. The company is too well known in Savannah to make comment necessary. During its quar ter of a century of business in this city it lias issued hundreds of jxilicies, which re main in force, thereby testifying the satis faction of the insurers. Mr. Henry Hoifen steiii, their agent, will be pleased to explain anything concerning the different plans written ny the company. The Pulaski’s Now Lessees. Mr. R. W. Powers, chief clerk of the Charleston Hotel, spent yesterday in Savan nah negotiating for the maiiflgomc.it of the Pulaski House.

FUN WITH THE HOMECLUB FOUR STRAIGHT GAMES LOST AT MOBILE. Savannah the Tail End of the League- New Orleans, Mobile and Nashville the Winners of Yesterday’s Games— Changes in the Home Nine—Pike, McAdams and McArthur Released and Murray Re-signed. The home ciub received its fourth defeat at Mobile yesterday, and is now the tßil ei.d of the league. The ' -suits of the day’s games were: [savannah 8, Mobile 13. New Orleans 10, Charleston L Nashville 12, Memphis 5. The mako-up of the home team will l.e considerably changed before the New Or leans series is played this week. McAdams and Pike have been released, and McArthur will be sent adrift in a day or two. Tommy Murray has been signed to play thiid base, and loft last night to join the club in New Orleans. Manager Morton was anxious that Nichols should join the dub on its return here, but the borne management eo.isirier it unwise to go much further with the present team unless it plays better ball than it has been playing for the past week, and Nichols will probably pitch in to-morrow or Tuesday's game if he reaches New Orleans in time. The club w ill play there to-morrow and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, returning home in time to open the season here on May 7 with Charles ton. game at Mobile was lost sim ply because the Gulf City team played ball and Savannah did not. The result was not at all sun vising to those of the club's track el's, who have been losing money ever since the season opened and who are about as anxious as anybody for a change. The directors say that if the present team cannot win they will put one in the field that can, and that is what the Savannah base ball public wants to see done. Mobile’s Fourth Victory. Mobile, April 30.—A dull and uninter esting game was played to a small audience to-day. Kelly’s arm being sore, Neepoff was put in the box.

There was also one French man-of-war in port during the month and one steam yacht. AT THE COURTS. The Trustees’ Report In the Schuetzen Gesellschaft Case Filed.

Madison, Ga., April 20,1887. Mr. 11. A. Peteet: Dear Sir—Until about three months ago I could not procure glasses that would enable me to read, at night without serious discomfort. I had tried pebbles and various styles of glasses, but by reading for any considerable length of time, particularly at night, my eyes were fatigued aud gave me pain. In January last, induced by testimo nials froni friends in Macon, I procured a pair of “Hawkes' Crystalized Lenses,” as sold by you. aud have found them so clear, soft and brilliant that I read for hours at a time, by day or night, without experien cing any discomfort or sense of fatigue. To that extent, at least, my eyes have been benefited, and at times I read both written and printed matter without the aid of glasses. They are certainly the most per lect glasses I have ever used, and as such I take pleasure iu recommending them. Re spectfully yours, J. A. Billups.
