8 AN INCENDIARY'S TORCH. IT IS APPLIED TO J. A. G. CARSON’S NEW HOME. The Costly Mansion Completely Gutt ed —A Small Flame Quickly Spreads Until it Envelops the Whole House No Reason Given for the Burning— The Fire Department’s Good Work. The newly built residence of Mr. J. A. Cl. Carson took tire a few minutes before mid night last night and was almost totally destroyed. It was situated on Bolton street, between Drayton and Aberoorn, and occu pied the second lot west of Aberoorn. It was an elegant residence and was almost ready for occupation. There seems but little doubt that incendiaries caused the burning, but what their motive was is no more known than who they are. The fire was discovered li v a ser vant in the family of Mr. Charles Haines. Mr. Haines crossed the yard of the new mansion and went into the rear of his own lot to leave an order with his cook. Ho passed then into the house, but, before he shut the door the cook called to him and told him that there was a tire. He ran into the lane and saw a blaze on the piazza that separated the kitchen of Mr. Carson’s resi dence from the main part of the house. BURST INTO KI,AMICS. Only a moment before he had passed there, but there was no sign of any fire. It had sni ung up in a very few seconds, but Mr. Haines did not wait to inquire the origin. He ran to McMahon’s grocery, on New Houston street, for the key to the fire alarm box. He called Mr. McMahon out, and they secured the key and started for the imx, but Mounted Officer McQuade turned in the alarm just before they got there. They hurried back to the lire, and when they arrived they found that the flames had eaten their way through the door and were rapidly spreading. Mr. Tom Davis, operator of the Savan nah, Florida and Western, lives next door, and he whssh wakened and advisod to move out what furniture ho couid. He replied that he thought there was no danger to his house, but all who were in it dressed and sought a place of safety. THE FIREMEN AT WORK. The Fire Department, which arrived with all promptness, came up at that time and began the work of subduing the flames. Protection Hose Company was the first on the spot and a line of hose was run to the rear of the house and a stream turned on the piazza where the flames had first been seen, but they had made their way inside and seemed to have found ready material upon which to feed for they spread with re markable swiftness. In but a few minutes the house was a blaze from cellar to roof, and soon the lat ter fell and the flames levied high in the air, illuminating the whole neighborhood and making the park extension as bright as day. Crowds of people assembled in spite of the lateness of the hour, and all ■watched with regret the rapid destruction of the handsome property. ADJOINING HOUSES IN DANGER They kept at a safe distance, for the fire burned fiercely, and the heat was so intense that the neighbors used their garden hose to keep their walls from catching tiro, though the flames were not near them. The heat set fire to Mr. Davis’ house, but did not do much damage. The fireman, under Assistant Chief George Mouro, worked faithfully and with great success. Although the odds were great ly against them they succeeded in gettingthe fire under control at last, and m spite of the fact that, at one time the whole interior was like a roaring furnace, they saved the walls which stiil stand though they are valueless. In the course of three quartrrs of an hour the lire had been put, out and only a few rod spots remained on the black framework that was left, and when these hail one by one been washed out, the crowd and the de partment left. A 812,000 LOSS. Mr. Cai’son, who is with J. P. Williams & Cos., liegan his house last spring and had spent aliout $12,000 in its erection. It was fitted up with all the modern appliances for comfort and convenience Electric bolls, burglar alarms and evei-ything else'that could make it a perfect residence, was put into it and it was one of the most beautiful houses in that part of the city I was covered with a builder’s risk but for what amount is un known. The house was in t hat section of the city where so many incendiary fires have occurred There is seemingly no ex planation of the action of the fiends who apparently commit those deeds only for the love of them, for in ail the tiros tliat have occurred there has been no reason for the application of the brand, and nothing to prompt any one to such a crime. No trace of the incendiaries has been obtained. WANT TO BE TEACHERS. Applicants for the Barnard Street School Vacancy. A competitive examination to fill the po sition of Assistant Teacher in the Barnard Street. School was held at Chatham Acade my yesterday. The vacancy was caused by the resignation of Miss Lowenthal just be fore the opening of the fall term. There were three applicants for the place, Miss J. P. Hinson, Mias M. B Porter and Miss Willie Dußose. The examination covered the common branches, and was conducted by Superintendent Baker. Col. Mercer was the only member of the School Board present.

The place will be filled Tuesday morning, and the report of the committee will be acted upon by the board at its next meeting. THE CITY'S MORTALITY.

The Mac Collin Opera Company closed its Savannah engagement last night with “The Beggar Student.” The company has played against bad weather during its entire engagement and this fact accounts forthesmall audiences. Tho company is a good one. The only attraction this week will be John S. Clarke, who will play a throe nights’en gagement, on Tuesday, NY ednesday ami Thursday,opening witli "A Fair Encounter” and “Heir at law,” following on Wednos dav night with “She Stoops to Conquer” and closing with “The Round Trip” and "Toolies.” Mr. Clarke is acknowledged to lie one of the best comedians on the stage. His openiug play here. “The Heir at Law,” is one of the dainty, witty comedies of the lust century, and the costuming, of course, tliat of the time of the Georges. As Hr. Pangioss, the conceited, übiquitous scholar and philosopher, and again as Zekiel Homespun, the plain, honest-hearted ’Shire man, u Philadelphia Time# critic says: The charming humor and exquisite pathos of Mr. Clarke’s versatile genius are wonder ful. He is a great comedian, the peer and fellow of Jefferson and the lamented < iwens. His success on his present tour has been wonderful. He will come here under the management of John T. Ford, and Savan nah will be the first city south of Richmond in which he will aptiear. When ho ap peared in New York, George William Cur tis, editor of Harper's Weekly, wrote: “I consider Clarke by far the finest artist who has been seen on our boards since Rachel.” The reserved seat sale opened at Davis Bros, yesterday. AN OLD PRIVATEERSMAN. Capt. W. Wallace Smith Gone to His Final Reward. Capt. Walter W. Smith, an old citizen of SavAnnah, died yesterday at tho Savannah Hospital. The deceased was born in Savan nail, August 29, 1824, and at an early age became an apprentice in tho pilot service. At the breaking out of the war he shipped aboard the Confederate privateer Jefferson Davis and served until July 6, 1861. On that day the Jefferson Davis captured off Montauk the schooner Enchantress, bound from Boston to St. Jago. Capt. Smith was put aboard as prize-master, and a few days after was recaptured and taken to Philadelphia, where, on < let. 25, he was convicted in the United States Dis trict Court upon an indictment for piracy and sent to Fort Lafayette under sentence of death, and his treatment was tho subject of controversy between the two govern ments. At the expiration of two years ho was ex changed for Col. Cochran, a United States officer who was imprisoned at Fort Sumter. During his confinement in prison Capt. Smith contracted rheumatism, and he had been a sufferer from the disease ever since. A few weeks ago it took a dangerous form, that of inflammatory rheumatism, and re sulted in his deaih. Tin deceased leaves a daughter, sister, brother and large family connections to mourn his death. His funeral will take place this morning at, 9:80 o’clock from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Capt. Smith was a veteran member of the Republican Blues. THE NAVAL STORES MARKET. A Boom on and Spirits and Rosins on a Big Rise. The naval stores market is on a sort of boom. Spirits turpentine was firm yester day and has advanced lVjc. the past week. This advance is looked upon by operators as a legitmate one. The stock at London this year compared with last is 11,900 casks short, and the price at the present time is 9d. lower |>er hundred weight, while the stock is smaller than has been known for several years, showing that notwithstanding the increased production the product has gone rapidly into consump tion. In rosins there has been quite au in crease in value. “Strained” to “good strained” advanced last week from 10c. to 12v,c., while “pales” are 20c. to 40c. higher, with the medium grades 10c. to 20c. The advance is believed by some operators to lie speculative, while others say that it is war ranted by the movement and stocks on hand. There are not many vessels offer ing, still freights have gone down 3d. to fid. CAUGHT ON AN ANCHOR CHAIN. The Body of a Colored Man Hauled Up by the Steamer Glen Tanar. The body of the negro Horace Jenkens, who was drowned on Monday, from a lighter alongside the British steamship Glen Tanar, at the Central Press, was found yes terday near where the drown ing occurred. Thedrowned man’s clothing caught on tho steamer’s anchor chain and kept the body from being carried out by the tide. It became dislodged, and floated to the surface yesterday. Acting Coroner Molina was notified of its recov er}’, and he investigated the circumstances of the drowning, winch were the same as already stated in the Morning News. It was evident that the drowning was acci dental, and the Acting Coroner gave a burial certificate without the formality of an inquest. The body was turned over to tlie friends of the drowned man, and it was buried yesterday afternoon. FRE GHT ROOM ALL TAKEN. Cotton Exporters Complaining of a Lack of Shipping. There was a slight falling off in cotton receipts at Savannah last week, but the shipping movement is fairly large, and prices have held steady. The buying for the past two weeks was contined to only a few of the heaviest operators. Exporters are complaining of a great, scarcity of freight room, and it is said that all the room is engaged up to Nov. 10. There are very few steam vessels bound here. This has had the effect of keeping a number of buy ers out of the market. We-ded at Macon. Dr. J. Emmett Blackshear, of this city, and Miss Julia C. Rogers were quietly wedded at the home of the bride’s father, Mr. W. R. Rogers, 875 College street, Ma con, on Thursday evening. The ceremony was very private, only the families of the bride and groom being present. Dr. Blaek shearand wife are now receiving the con gratulations of their friends in Savannah. They will sail on the steamer Tallahassee for New York on Tuesday, and thence on the Servia for London, Eugland. The best wishes of many friends on this side the water will attend them Dr. Blackshear is a well-known and prominent physician, and his bride is a favorite in Macon society circles. _____ Don’t Experiment.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30. 1887. IN FAVOR OF THE CREW. THE NAVAL COURT’S DECISION ON THE WET COTTON CASE. The Resolute’s Cargo Declared Unfit for Shipment, but may be Taken Over by a Volunteer Crew -Another Litigation on Hand. The Naval Court rendered itsdecision yes terday in tho case of the crew vs. the Master of the steamship Resolute. Before reading the decision, Vice Consul Robertson took occasion to defend himself against rumors that have been circulating. He said, “I want to say something about those street rumors. Many people seem to think that the decision was reached liefore, or soon af ter the court convened. The court met anil heard the evidence and made every endeav or to take it as it ought to be taken.” IN FAVOR OF THE CREW. He then wont on to read the decision, which declared that the cargo was unfit for shipment under hatches, but that tho court would not undertake to declare that the cargo was an unfit one for a volunteer crew to take over. Tiie decision was not a surprise, though there doubtless was nothing in the rumors which the Vice Consul spoke of. Nearly every one expected from the flint tliat the decision woula lie in favor of the crew. The reference to a volunteer crew at. first gave rise to the impression that the crew of the Resolute could be discharged if volunteers could lie found, hut that is not the case. The crew •mist refuse to go or be legally discharged for some other cause liefore a volunteer erew can he shipped. As long as the crew sticks to the ship the cargo cannot be loaded. THE CREW STAND FIRM. (’apt.. Reavely called the crew to one side and tried to persuade them to consent to go, but they were firm in their refusal. They said they were fighting not only for'them selves, but for their class; that this was a pioneer case, and they meant to carry it through. The Captain, however, said that he intended to carry the cargo to Liverpool. The court might have been influenced to some extent by the effect of the odors from the cotton upon themselves. They visited the vessel and cargo on Friday and found a rather bad odor emanating from some of the bales. Subsequent to their visit they were all more or less sick. Some attributed it to the effluvia from the wet cotton and others to different causos, but the}’ were all sick. This does not conclude the litigation, for the crew of the have made a protest, and they say ]>oStivelv that they will not go to sea if their wet cotton is reshipped. RIVER AND HARBOR NOTES.

The price paid and the parties to whom sold was"not made public. Last evening showers of sparks were seen flying out of the funnel of the British steam ship Abeoiuij lying at. the Exchange wharf, on the outside of the British steamship Sylvia. The sparks blew in all directions, some of them landing on the decks below. The steamer was using her steam winch in hoisting some cotton from a loaded lighter. The sparks were coming out for fully three quarters of an hour, and were seen by sev eral members of the Cotton Exchange from the rear balcony of the exchange, and also by a well known agent of underwriters.

DAHLBERO GOES FREE. The Swedish Musician Tires of Prison Fare—His Discharge. After forty-eight hours in jail “Prof.” Dnhlberg is again breathing free air. He was turned loose yesterday and told to get out of town without losing any time. He did not take kindly to prison fare, and when he was brought, out of his cell the first, thing he did was to lodge a complaint with the jailer that, the jail cuisine was not, up to the standard of first-class houses to wiiicb he has lieeu accustomed. “You deceive me very bail,” he said to Constable Basch when the officer led him into the jail office. “How’s that;” he was asked. “You tell me dat 1 get nice turkey and codfish balls and coffee, and when I order supper I get nothing but soup. Oh, dey dreated me very bad, and when I send for der doctor I don get any.” He hxifeed rather the worse for his con finement, and it was not hard to see tliat jail life did not agree with him. After lis toning to his talk for awhile, an officer got up and told Dahlberg to come on down town. “I cannot valk” he replied. “I wait for you here while you go anil get some carriage. I nefer can valk alone. I couldn’t do it.” “Very well, officer. Hand mo his dis charge and I’ll lock him up,” said tho jailer. “I’ll go. I’ll go. I’m better now,” and the ‘ ‘ Professor” stepped off with so much alacritv that the officer thought he was go ing without him. The two came down to Justice Naughtin’s office and there an other scene took place The “Professor’s ’ burden was that he could not give his con cert. “I haf no money,” he said. “Votam I to dol” “Lock him up again,” said an officer. “Vat is dot; go to jail. Oh, I nefer could. Vat vill my frens think of der Professor now. Oh, don do it,” and he dropped on his knees and begged not. to be taken back to jail. Finally he was told to go, and he shot into the street as if a whole army was after him. That was the last seen of “Prof.” Dahlberg. ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE Local and General Gossip in Railway Circles.

The weather may change, but our desires and intention to stand by the buyers of clothing are as unchangeable and fixed as the public building site or the price of gas.

Crump and said, “I understand that you drew a prize in the Louisiana State Lottery drawing of the 9th ult. ?” “I did.” “What was your ticket?” “39,146.” “Did it repre sent the whole, or a part of the prize?” “A part —one tenth of the second capital.” “What amount?” “$5,000.” “Did you re ceive the full amount the ticket repre sented?” “I received the full amount eight days after the ticket had drawn.” “How did you collect the money?” “Our Jones burg (Mo.) Bank collected it through the laicTade Bank of St. Louis, and paid it to tome.” I consider that the business of the Louisiana State Lottery is conducted fairly, without partiality or la,vor.”—Jonesburg (Mo.) Journal, Sept. 8. Prices cut on the “Centemeri” Kid Gloves at A. R. Altmayer & Co.’s. 3-Button, cut to 99c.; 5-Button Tan, to $123; 5-Button Black, to $1 59.

There was a rumor afloat a few days ago that this new street railway, which is to go to the Central railroad wharf and through the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi cago street railway. This would probably cost more money in the start, but would prove more profitable in the long run, as so many more trips could lie made in a day, and parties having important business to at tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could get there in a very little time. J ust the same at Appel & Schaul’s, the One Price Clothiers; it takes you no time to get an outfit at their establishment, as every arti cle is marked in plain figures with the lowest price to all on same, thus saving an hour or two argument on the price, etc. Their plan of doing business is sufficient for those that are not judges of goods to buy with confidence, knowing their friends do not buy the same goods for less money, and those that are judges are invited to call and inspect prices to convince themselves. Their fall and winter stock has been received, and are ready for inspection—l 63 Congress street, opposite the market. For fine Butter, go to Cooper’s, 38 Whita ker street.
