8 FIRES ON_ SHIPBOARD. THE CARGOES OF THE RESOLUTE AND DESSOUG IN FLAMES. Six Fireman and the Chief Suffocated in the Hold-The Engineer of the Dessoug Badly Burned-A Mysteri ous Explosion Fires the Dessoug s Cargo -The Origin of the Resolute’s Fire Unknown. The British steamer Resolute has been lying at Dixon & Murphy's wharf for the last two days taking coal, and she has been working night and day to get the coal aboard, so she could put to sea. She was cleared with 5,358 bales of cotton on Thurs day for Liverpool. Yesterday morning, about 4 © clock, the tally-keejier discovered smoke issuing from the forward hatchway. lie immediately notified Capt. Heavier and sent a messenger to engine house No. 1 to obtain assistance. Meanwhile the hatches were torn o!T and ail hands were put to work throwing water into the hold. Engine No. 1 responded promptly and began pumping a stream of water into the vissel. Chief Fernandez ar rived. and seeing that he would have a hard Are to fight, h<- sent to headquarters for No. 3, the new engine, and also for No. 2. No. 3 came down, but could not take water from the plug because the three plugs were so near together and the main so small that only one engine can work them at a time. The wharves, too, were so old that he did not dare trust an engine on them, so he had to detach the horses and back the engine through Dixon Murphy’s vard and on to their wharf. In doing this the smokestack of the engine Struck a beam and was bent forward. No. 3 was soon placed in position, however, and No. 2 was placed near it, both taking water from the river and pouring it into the vessel as rapidly as they could. The firemen went below to' be as near to the fire as possible, but the smoke was so thick that they could only remain below for a min ute or two, and in trying to handle a pipe there Chief Fernandez and six of them were suffocated. John Gay, of No. 3; Foreman Cullom. No. 3; I’eter Wakefield, No. 3; Morris Sullivan, No. 3: Hugh Lor tian, No. 1. and Dick Nugel, No. 1 were all overcome, but all recovered soon except John Gay, who was in a critical condition last night. He was taken to his home on AVest Broad and Harris streets. It was the work of several hours to put out the fire, and at 9 o’clock last night the engines were still playing upon her. The cotton has swelled, and it will be an exceedingly difii cult matter to get it out. It will all be un loaded, and the vessel will take on anew cargo. The cotton was fully covered by in surance in foreign companies. No damage of consequence was done to the vessel as she is built of iron. THE DESSOUG’S BLAZE. The firemen were at work on the Resolute at about 11 o’clock, when the steamer Des soug, of the Ocean Steamship Company’s Philadelphia line, came up the river with smoke issuing from her alter hatchway. Bhe went up to her wharf, and ail alarm i>f fire was turned in. The Victor responded, and Chief Fernandez ordered No. 2 from the Resolute. A hole had been cut in her deck and the hatches torn away, and the two engines and the tug Cambria worked steaililv, flooding her. The smoke was so dense t hat no one could get t>e-low, so the engines simply poured in their water where the smoko was tnickest, and about 5 o’clock the fire was extinguished. Capt. Howes and Chief Fer nandez then went below and found the cargo blown in every direction. The caje tai. said that, while the ship was off Frying Pan shoals yesterday afternoon, an explo sion occurred aft. George Cogdin was oil ing the sliaft in the after hold, and be was badly burned aixiut tho face and neck. Manuel Kost and Charles fsrhiller, two firemen wore knocked down' tv hiller was not hurt, but Host’s right leg was badly bruised. Cogdin was sent to St. Joseph's Infirmary, and at midnight his condition was pronounced dangerous. The explosion blew the cargo in every direction. The scene in the hold was one of complete de struction. Heavy boxes of goods were blown against the ship s side and broken to splin ters, and it is a marvel that the side of the vessel was not blown out. All hands were at work la-t night pumping her out and this morning she will be towed to Kelly’s wharf, where she will discharge. The origin of loth fires is a complete mystery. There was nothing in the Resolute, that was known of, to set fire to the cotton, and the Dessoug was not known to have any explosive alxiard. The Captain says that it must have been packed in a box and ship)**! as harmless material. QUEER QUARANTINE. A Schooner Captain Who Thinks He Was Detained Too Long. I beg you will report my case, which lavs far over that of the Eilina, lately noticed. My vessel, the American schooner Belle Hoojier, left Barbados, a notoriously healthy port, July 30, with cargo of sugar for Phila delphia, where she arrived Aug. 10, went through all quarantine regulations, dis charged cargo, ballast anil crew, and had vessel thoroughly cleaned; then took in cargo of coal, shipjxd a Philadelphia crew arid sailed for Savannah; on arrival at Quarantine was stopped and my cargo of omestie coal (!) was fumigated (!), with •what object I do not know. My vessel was detained eight ilays and then released. This detention, with t e quarantine fees, extra pilotage, and towage will amount to nearly 75c. per ton on my entire cargo, and while I cannot collect it in this case;, I should add it to my freight rate, should I come here again, and other vessels in the trade will assuredly do the same as soon as the facta become known; so that the quarantine officials are practical ly adding a charge of 50c. to 75c. per ton on coal consumed in Savannah beyond what it cost in Charleston, Port Royal or Bruns wick. L. P. Gii.key. Master Schooner Belle Hooper. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and There by the News Reporters. Deputy Clerk Keilbaoh, of tho Ordinary’s Court, issued fifteen marriage licenses ‘to white jieople during the last month and twenty-four to colored people. Coroner Dixon’s monthly statement shows that during the month of Kepteinlier he held four inquests and three investigations. One of the inquests was on a murder case, one suicide and two sudden deaths. A survey was held on the brig Isabella vesti-rday Fiy Port Warden Wiggins, T. H. Laird, and H F. Willink master ship carpenter. They recoin mended that she lie discharged of all her cargo for a further ex amination. A Trip Through Ireland. The regular quarterly meeting of Branch No. 484, Irish National Ixviguo, will be held Friday night, at Catholic Library Hall. Rev. Edward Cafforty, Vicar General, will deliver an interesting address on his recent triji to Ireland. All the meinliers of tho branch, and those friendly to the Irish cause, are invited to Fie present. A Woman’s Discovery. “Another wonderful discovery has been made, and that, too, by a lady in this county. Diseases fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest toms, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. Rhe bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night, anil with one bottle has Fieen miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus write W. C. Hamrick Cos., of Slid by, N. C. Get a free trial bottle at Lippnian Bros.’ drug tuue. A FIGHT AT THE MARKET. The Arrest of a Negro Causes a Small- Sized Riot. There was a fight at the Market House yesterday afternoon that drew a crowd of nt least 200 people in a very short space of time. It promised in the beginning to !•*' a Filin dv affray. A negro named Mitchell Flower has been acting in a very annoying manner in the saloon of Charles Kohler, and Kohler went before a magistrate some ilavs ago and swore out a peace warrant. Flower lives in the country and he has not been in the city since the warrant was issued until to-dav when he liecame as obstreperous as ever. The warrant was placed in the liands of Deputy Sheriff Si Bascb who found Flower near the Market. He notified F’iower that he was under arrest but Flower objected and resisted. A numis r of negroes went to his assistance and in about two minutes there were a dozen of them stand ing about with knives in their hands ready to prevent the officer from arresting his man. Busch clung to him, however, and Flower and his friends began an attack on the Deputy. Policemen Durham, Hymes and Neidlinger came to his assistance and one of the officers was knocked down. They then saw that they had a serious affair on their hands and they began to use their clutis. A few well uir*‘Cted blows soon quelled the riot, aud Flower was at last landed in the liarracks. Busch then returned to the market, and before lie got through he had Peter Houston, Charles H. Rizzard anil Dorn del,yon in the barracks for the parts they took in Flower’s defense. CATTLE THIEVES IN LIMBO. Three Negroes Arrested at Pooler and Put in Jail. Mr. Ben Roth well brought in from Pooler yesterday three negroes whom he charged with stealing a steer from him. About 10 o’clock Friday night the animal was taken from the pen and driven some distance to the farm of James Gay. A negro, nrmed Joe Johnson was driving him and offered to sell him to to Gay for 810. Gay recognized the steer and not only refused to buy it, but drove it back to Roth well's and made John son go with him. Rothwell held Johnson until yesteltiay morning when he started with hnn f- the train to bring him to Sa vannah. At ho depot Johnson pointed out two otliei ...'gross, Joe Byrnes and Henry Pollard, and be said that they were the ones who stole the steer and gave it to him to sell. Rothwell obtained assistance and ar rested lioth of them. Byrnes did not want to go with him and he fought for some time, but finally he consented to come to town. The prisoners were taken to the office of Justice Waring Russell, where warrants were sworn out and an examina tion was held. Byrnes and Pollard say t hey can prove an alibi. They swore that they were at a turpentine still at station No. 2’ i Friday night mid that they can bring wit nesses to prove that they were there after 10 o’clock. All three were committed to jail, however, to be held for the Superior Court. THE PILOTS' OPPOSITION. The Company to Dissolve this Morning -Drawing for Vessels. The Pilots’ company dissolves to-day at 12 m. Previous to that hour the pilots will draw lots for the vessels in port, to decide what pilots shall take them to sea. There are forty-five vessels in port, and there are thirty-one pilots. The modus operandi, by which the allotment is made, is by placing the names of thirty-one vessels in a hat and each pilot drawing a name. The vessel so drawn is placed under his charge. The names of the other fourteen vessels and sev enteen blanks are placed in the hat, and another drawing is had. Those pilots draw ing vessels have to take them out, and those drawing blanks are relieved from that duty. Thus some pilots have two vessels and others only have one to attend to. In this lottery blanks are the lucky tickets. The entire pilot boat fleet, except the pilot l<oat Jones, will start on a cruise to-morrow. The pilot boat Odell went down to Tybee yesterday and the others will sail this morn ing. There will be more pilots on dock to day than have been seen for a number of years, and the opposition between the boats promises to make the service very arduous. NEW ENTERPRISES MOVING. A Cold Storage and Ice Manufactory Company to be Organized. The preliminary stejis have been taken looking toward the organization of the Sa vannah Cold Storage and Ice Manufactur ing Company. The company propose to utilize the large brick building known as the “Lachlison foundry,” for the storage of meats, fruits, vegetables, beer and other commodities. It will also manufacture ice for-its own puiposes and also for sale. Simi lar enterprises have been established in other cities and have met with great success, and, The jirospeets of the company under notice are very encouraging. THE NEW PYTHIAN HALL. Forest City Lodge to Hold its First Meeting There Monday Night. The Knights of Pythias will occupy their new hall, at Barnard and York streets, this week. Forest City Lodge will hold its first meeting there to morrow night. There will be no formal ceremonies attending the opening of the new hall now, but in February, on the occasion of the celebration of the anniversary of the order, it will lie formally dedicated. The building is yet in complete. The lodge room is ready for oc cupancy, however, and nil the Pythian lodges will meet there hereafter. The old hall, at Bull and Broughton streets, was vacated yesterday. THE REGIMENT'S COMMISSARY. Private Ronan of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry Appointed. Col.

POST D AT WORK. The Drummers Perfecting Their Or ganization. Post D, T. P. A., held an adjourned meet ing at the Mai-shall House last night, and in the absence of President Newman, Vice President J. Belsinger presided. The object of the meeting was to hear reports of com mittees and continue ' the work of perfect ing the organization. There was in attend an< of aliout twenty-five members, which showed plainly the great interest the drum mers take in the association. The comnfit to*s were not ready to make full reports or to say more than that thev were pro gressing with their work. Tho Post is young still, aud though it has gone far in the direction of organizing, the committees are not thoroughly informed as to the exact characters of their duties. Upon that sub ject they desire further instruction, anil the Post thereupon instructed the Secretary to correspond with the secretaries of the other 1 ’ustx of the State to learn just what work their committee.-, are doing. The F'inance Committee reixirted that it had obtained #175 since the last meeting, which makes a total of about 8250 that lias been subscribed by the wholesale merchants to defray the expenses of the Post. The other committees may not understand their duties exactly, but it is evident that the F'inance Committee knows what it has to do and how to do it. The Committee on By laws was not ready to report, Ixicause most of the directors who, with Mr. H. G. Appel, constituted the committee, have lieen ab sent from the city. Mr. Sid A. Pughsley and Mr. Appel were present last night, how ever, and they stated that they would go to work to morrow morning and have their report ready for the next meeting. The Railroad Committee is most anxious of all about its duties. This is about the most im portant committee of the Post, and its affairs have to lie handled with great deli cacy. It has been waiting for some advice from State President Isaacs, but in the meantime it is preparing itself for active work. It reported progress, and will meet again to-morrow. The question of visiting Macon on Drum mers Day of the State Fair was brought up for consideration, and it was at first pn> posed to attend in a body and as a Post, but m view of the fact that the Post is yet in its infancy it was deemed advisable not to do so. The hotel committee, however, was instructed to make at rangements at some Macon hotel for the nu mbers of the Post who will be present. Post D was careful, however, to provide for the maintaining of its good reputation. The proprietor of the hotel where the members will stay will be furnished with a list of the members of the Post and should any one else at tempt to palm himself off as a mem tier of that body he will be marked. A motion to compensate tho secretary and treasurer for his services was introduced. There is uo small amount of work to be done by Mr. Boley, who occupies those posi tions. and as his other duties are heavy it is necessary for him to employ assistance. The Post desired to relieve him of that expense, and while the amount of compen sation was referred to tho the committee on by-laws it was resolved that he should lie paid at the rate of 850 per annum until that committee should report. The Post then adopted|a*ri*olution declaring the Morn ing News the official organ of that body, after which it adjourned. WITH BOOKS AND SLATES. Children Getting Ready for the Re- Opening of the Schools. The public schools will reopen to-morrow and parents and teachers are busy getting ready for the day. Supt. Baker has been busy for the last three days issuing cards of admission to applicants. On Thursday he issued 233, on Friday 330, anil yesterday 300, making a total of 803. This, of course, does not represent the number of scholars who will attend the schools, for those who were in them last year may return with out cards. It means, however, that the increase in the ntimber of white scholars w’M tie 803, less the few who graduated at the last term and some few who will not return. The schools can accommodate 3,050 scholars now that the Chatham Acad emy has been opened, and when the session begins there will lie but little spare room. All the schools will have about as many scholars as they can hold, and this is true particularly of the white schools. The colored schools will Fie well filled also, and the teachers will have pupils enough to teach during the coming year. SPREADING THE GOSPEL. Work of the American Bible Society During September. Rev. J. F. Brundage, agent of the Amer ican Bible Society here, made up his .Sep tember report yesterday. It was the first month since Mav in which anything has been done. During last month Mr. Brun dage visited 1,087 families. Of this nuin- Fier 381 families were without Bibles, and the heads of 1211 families could not read a Bible if they hail one. Altogether, 117 families and 102 individuals were supplied with Bibles aud Testaments, making the total number distributed during the mouth m Rev. Brundage will, during the coming month and probably throughout the season, conduct in connection with his work as a part of the Bible Society a Bible reading, having a special bearing upon divine heal ing, at Trinity church lecture room every Tuesday afternoon at -1 o’clock. AT THE THEATRE. Barry & Fay in "Mulcahey’s Big Party” the Week's Only Attraction. The only attraction this week at the Thea tre will he Barry & Fay in “Muleahey’s Big Party” on Thursday night. The play is a sequel to “Irish Aristocracy,” and is one of Fred G. Malder’s most successful efforts. It was brought out in Boston this season and made a hit the first, night The Advertiser said of it. “The play is of the same doth and same pattern as ‘lrish Aristocracy,’ but is better as anew garment is better than tho old. There is more variety, and the broad humor of the present play is on a trifle higher level than its predecessor. It was a success from the first.” “Billy” Barry and Hugh Fay as “Muldoon” and “Alderman Mulcahey,” are two as familiar characters a-s ever trod the stage. They areas popular in Savannah as elsewhere, and are sure to draw a big audience. : The sale of seats will begin Tuesday morning. Local Personal. D. C. Bacon, Esq., has returned to the city. Mr. G. Wannbacher returned yesterday from New York. Supt. J. A. Brenner, of the Western Union Telegraph Company was in the city yesterday. Mr. Charles A. L. Massie has returned to the city, and will resume his duties as assistant, in the School for Boys to-morrow morning. Mr. Milton Hamlet, son of the late Aider man John R. Hamlet, lies at the city hos pital so ill with brain fever that his recov ery is considered almost, inqiossible. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

THE NEW POST OFFICE. THE GOVERNMENT OFFERED THE BARRACKS SITE. Secretary Fairchild Wants Collector Wheaton’s Opinion as to the Eligi bility of the Location -The Property Offered for $75,000 -The Hotel Scheme Abandoned. Collector Wheaton received a letter yes terday from the Treasury Department asking his opinion as to the eligibility of the Ogle thorpe barracks site for a j*>st office, that property having been offered to the govern ment by Mr. D. G. Purse, of this city, either as a whole or in part. The proposi tion Is to sell a part of it on Bull and Liberty streets for 850.000, or the whole for $75,000. The matter was a surprise to some of the stockholders interested in the property, who knew nothing about the proposition. It appears that it was made under a resolution passed at a meeting of the company, when the directoi-s were authorized to sell the property, to any party who would build a hotel, for 850.000. It was afterward, as will tx- remembered, extensively advertised, alxmt 8.500 having been expended for that ptirpose, but not a single resjxm.se was elieited, although the advertisement was in serted the leading journals in the Nortli and West, and also in a number in the South. In view of the apparent futility of any effort to secure a lintel a nurntier of stock holders, rejiresenting about 000 out of the 700 shares, agreed to offer the property to the government. There will probably be considerable opposition, however, to locate the public building so far away from the business jiart of the city. GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS. Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. The Rome Courier says it looks as if the C. R. & C. railroad, the Cincinnati South ern and Georgia Central are getting awful ly “thick,” ft may mean that the C. R. & C. is the “missing link" between those great corporations, or more probably it mav mean nothing. We see no reason why rail roads cannot flirt a little with each other just the same as the boys and girls do. Mr. Edwin Alden, the ‘Advertising Agent. Shortly after the failure of Edwin Alden & Bro., advertising agents, Cincinnati, 0., Mr. Edwin Alden sent out a circular stating that he proposed to pay in full all his debts, though it would take time and jiatience. He called at the Morning News office not tong since and jmid one hundred cents on the dollar in cash, aud it is understood he has settled in the same manner about ail his obligations in this and several adjoining States. It is somewhat unusual for a man to fail and afterwards to pay, and Mr. Alden is entitled to due credit for doing so. His honesty, industrious habits and enter prising spirit will undoubtedly bring him success and the well deserved confidence of the public. He is now carrying on his advertising business under the name of The Edwin Alden Cos., Cincinnati, and the Morning News heartily commends the new company to the confidence of the advertis ing jiubLic. The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Suit, druggist, Hippos, lud., testi lies: “I can recommend Electric Bitters as tho very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheuma tism of ten years' standing. Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in nij 20 years' exjierienee is Elec tric Bitters.” Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cun; all diseases of tho Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only 50 cents and 81a bottle, at Lippman Bros.’ drug store. A Great Success. The exhibition in the City Market yester day afternoon, given by Messrs. Heeker & Cos., was a great success. Thousands of ladies went to see just how easy it was to make the best buckwheat and griddle cakes, and all were loud in praise of the Heeker goods, their purity and the labor-saving qualities of tho Self Raising F’lours. F’or ex cellence the Self Raising Buckwheat and Griddle Cake Flours are unsurpassed, as indeed are all the goods manufactured by Heeker & Cos. Rafael S. Salas & Cos. By a card in another column it will be seen that a firm under the above name has been formed for the purpose of conducting a general brokerage business. Mr. Salas is a young gentleman of business exjierience and energy, aud any orders intrusted to his house will receive careful and prompt at tention. The Chatsworth Railroad Accident— First Payment to the Sufferers. The Chicago Evening Journal of Aug. 25, publishes tho following, clipped from tho Peoria Transcript , of prior date: The Washington Life Insurance Company has already paid the widow of Mr. William F. Stevens the policy he has held in that company for some years. It will be remem bered that Mr. Stevens and two of his daughters were killed in the late railroad accident near’Chatsworth. We believe this is the first of these losses paid. The Wash ington not only pays its losses at sight, but so invests its assets (carrying no speculative securities) as to make the payment of future losses certain. If you think of insuring, look into the new plans offered by the Washington. Below Zero. From present indications, and the report received from Washington, wo can begin to look for cool weather; perhaps it may lie below zero. Those living in Savannah would be surprised to know that the tem iierature of H. Logan’s refrigerator has been 5’ to <i” aliove zero all summer, in which he keeps Ills meats, which consist of New York, Boston and Baltimore steaks and roasts; also some very fine native meats, together with the finest Fulton Market corned beef ever hail in this city.

I would respectfully call the attention of my customers and the public to the fact that I have now in store the most complete stock of furniture and carpets, and ail goods pertaining to my business, which arc of fered at very low prices. In my furniture department you will find from the cheapest to the very finest goods, at as low, or lower, prices than ever offered in any Northern city. Come and inspect the goods and com pare, and you will find it to your advantage to buy from me. It is a rare chance to find an establishment which carries such a com plete stock of goods as I do in household or office furniture. In my carpet department there is nothing in that line you may want that Ido not have in stock. Carpets, cur tains, portierres and oil cloths I mostly im port directly from England, which are de livered to mo through the Savannah custom house. I therefore claim the .-irlvantago of filing a good article for a little advance on domestic goods, anil the goods t sell will al ways give satisfaction, and are never mis represented.
