ffer.da a Eire Company to the As
sistance of the Yard Force —The
Buildings Constructed in Ante-Bel
lum Days—Workmen Leap for Life.
' Portsmouth, N. H., Jan. 27. — The
largest fire that ever occurred at the Kitt.-r
navy yard broke out this morning at 8
o’clock in the b >iler room in building No.
45, occupiei by the construction and repair
denar'ment e.s a machine and plate ste p.
The fir- q u k.y ext-n led ai irut toe rafting
and oily timbers ia bail img No. 4'., occuj ied
as a futiock mill, and the workmen were
obliged to jamp through the windows to
escape.
A HARD FIGHT.
A gere-al alarm was rung ia and four
steamers belonging to the navy yard de
partment were quickly on haul. Despite
the efforts of the firetnea aad tne marine
guards, the fire extended int> the macn ae
shop and help was then called for fr >:n tnis
city. The steamer Kear-arge and a hose
company were lmmediat >ly sent over the
ferry on a steamboat, and with these re
inf rcemeats the fire was confined entirely
to the two buildings.
THE BUILDINGS.
The two buildings were built in 1845-'46,
and were const meted in stilt fashion,
granite pillars tvi ,g set upon a heavy
Foundation, a id t .erest if the building was
constructe 1 of wood. Duri ig tne war the
boil lings were remodeled and co .neetei
maki g a building 40 > feet in
length and 60 feet in width. The loss is
expected to reach sluo,uoo.
Buildings No. 45 and 46, with tbeir con
tents, were entirely destroyed, No. 45 was
full of sawi ig and planing machinery and
Ku 46 was a shop. Among the
property destroyed was the furniture of the
Juuiata, now under repair, and part of the
furniture of the Lancaster and a large
amount of stores. There is uo insurance.
A DESPERADO AT LARQB.
George Brooke Escapee From the
Jail at Quitman.
Quitman, Ga., Jan. 27.—0n Saturday
night George West, the most daring and
notorious criminal ever known in Brooks
countr, broke jail and escaped. West was
the only prisoner in the jail at the time.
He was carelessly left in the jail corridor,
instead of being locked up in Lis cell, and
seem ed a heavy iron bar from off one of
the cell doors, easily hamme ed a hole
through the brick wall of the jail and was
free. There is no clue as to where West is.
The supposition is, that ho will leave this
part of the country.
A BAD RECORD.
For a man of his age he is one of the most
hardened criminals of the dav. Ho is not
over 25 years old. The charges against him
were four in number. and the
most serious in the criminal and. oaloguo.
Two were for larceny, one for
murder, and one for attempt to rape. For
some months he was out on bond, but with
his last crime, stealing some carpenter tools
from a church, his bondsmen became
alarme i and gave him up. This was about
tix weeks or two months ago.
A MURDER TRIAL AVOIDED.
He was to have been tried for murder at
the May term of the c mri, but the proba
bility is that he wili not be seen in this sec
tion again.
Quitman, not to bo behind the times, has
several cases of la grippa, or at least this is
what the 1 cal physicians pronounce it.
None of the cases have proved serious as
yet.
There are seven northern tourists here,
and there would tie many more were the
accommodations adequate.

THE BLACK-HEADED BUG.
The Damage Being Wrought by the
Pest In the Pine Forests.
The naval stores factors are receiving ac
oouuts from their correspondents in the
interior of the ravages of the black-headed
bug or worm,which is said to be destroying
pine trees by the thousand.
The bug is not anew thing in the woods,
but is an old habituel. He is something
l.ke the caterpillar. He cannot stand cold
weather, and whenever a freeze occurs he
hies to more congenial clime. Providence
has been more than kind to him this season.
The winter has been so mild and summer
like that he has got in his work on the piUe
tree. He is found along the edges of dried
up ponds and places where there is decay
ing wood. He is especially fond of t e
c ips which the turpentine operator chops
from the trees around tee hoses, and 1 r .in
these ho attacks the tret* itself, if the weathor
is favorab e. Ho gets between the bark of
the tree and the tree itself and attacks the
sap, gradually working his way up to
where the operator has blazed the tree.
After circling this spot he has virtually
rapped the life outof tnetree, and it is of no
more use except for wood. The turpentine
operators sweep the chips away
from the tree into a pile,
aud thus keep the bug from the trees to'
some extent, and in wet seaso ns they de
stroy the chips by burning them, but it is
too dangerous au experiment in very dry
weather.
The bug is found in eld fields where
there is decaying timber. His ravages in the
turpentine territory were never feb severely
in this section before ISS2 and ISS3, whan
the croo was shor ened by the bug. In the
great storm of ISSI thousands of trees were
biown down and across oue another, and
the bug went from tree to tree. A well
known factor veste day said that there is
no doubt that toob ;g has done a great deal
of harm. In fact, all that it can do.
The fact r was asked wbvno report of
the insect’s work was made on the board of
trade. He replied ihat the exporters are
always a cusing the factors and planters of
concocting and circulating bull stones, aud
this might be charged as one of them.
An exporter was uskei ab >ut the bug,
and he said that he had no doubt of the
bug’s exis euce in the forests. “Wait and
you will see just as much turpentine and
rosin next season,” he added, “as ever, if
not more. ’’
The effect of the reports from the tur
pentine farms seems to have no visible
effect on the spot market, and turpeu ine
steadily declined last week all the wh lo that
the farmers’ letters were being received.

STATES CANNOT BE SUED.
SUCH SEEMS TO BE THE OPINION
OF THE SUPREME COURT.
The Judgment of the United States
Circuit Court for Eastern North
Carol.na Affirmed in the Case of
Christ an vs. the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad Company The
State Held to be the Real Defendant.
Washington, Jan. 27. —Justice Bradley
to-day d.-livered the opinon of the United
States supreme court affirming the judg
rae it of the United States circuit court for
the Eastern district of N ortb Carolina in
the caso of William E. Christian et aL,
app Jams, vs. the Atlantic and North Car
olina Railroad C impaiy et al.
This case is of importance, not only in the
amountof money directly iuvolvei, but in
the amount indirectly involved and the
import int coastitutu.ial quo? ious decided.
Of late a number of cases involving the
question of the liability off. state to bo
sued have b.wi brought before the supre ne
court, notably the llousj caso from Louisi
ana, in which it is said that $11,009,00) is
involved, and another North Carolina bo "and
case, involving from to,OOJ,OOJ to *10,09J,-
000.
GROUND OF THE PROCEEDINGS.
The s'ate of North Carolina subscrib-vi
for $1,066,600 of the capital st ick of tae
Atlantic ami North Ctroliaa Railroad Com
pany, organized for the purpose of building
a railroad from Beaufort to Golds.lorotigh.
Bonds were issued by the sta to raise
money to pay for tnis s' ck, and tho state
not o .1 v pledged its public faith as security
for the redemption of the b. nds, hut in
addition pledged all the Bt>cx held by the
state in tho railroa 1 company.
The pledging act aiso provided that any
dividend which may be declared on the
stock held by tne state shall be a plied t >
the payment of interest accruing on the
bonds, but, until such dividends may be de
clared, the interest on the bonds was to be
paid out of the public money in the state
treasury. The state received certificates
for the stock it subscrioe i, and was repre
sented at the meetings of the stockholders
by proxy.
A BONDHOLDER’S ACTION.
Mr. Christian, a citizen of Virginia, holds
ten of the bonds issued by the state, and as
there hail been no interest paid since 1868,
he sougnt to have tne bonds declared a lieu
upon tne stock owned and held by the state
of North Carolina in the Atlantic and N rth
Carolina Riilroad Company, and also upon
ail dividends that may bo declared on the
stock until the bonds issued, and ttie inter
est thereon are redeemed by the state. He
prayed that all moneys payable as divi
dends on the st ick 2>e paid to the
bondholders in payrn -nt of the Inter
est due them, and that if the
dividends be insufficient for this
purpose, the sale of th 3 sock held by the
state be authorized and a receiver ap
pointed. The railroad comp my, its prefi
dent and dire 'tors personally, the proxy'
representing the state, and the state treas
urer, were all made parties to the suit.
THE SUIT AGAINST THE STATE.
The state of North Car iina, says Justice
Bradlev, is the only party really concerned.
The whole proceeding is virtually again it
her. The object of the suit is t > get posses
sion of her property, to sequester her
dividends (if any there may be)
and to compel the payment of
them to the complainants; to seize and sell
the railroad stock of which she is insole
possession. Though it be true that ttie
boiid.iolders have a lion oa tho dividends
and stock, it is not a lion that can be en
forced without a suit, and that a su>t
against tho state. Tue court is of the
opinion t lat tne state is an indispensable
party to any proceeding in equity in
which its pr iperty is sought to be taken and
subjected to the payment of its obligation.
The judgment of the lower court in favor
of the sta:e is thoref re affirmed.
ABBOTT IN "ERNANI."
A Brilliant Opening of Savannah's
Week of Opera.
Emma Abbo t began her Savannah en
gagement last night in Verdi’s grand opera.
"Ernani,” before one of the largest audi
ences ever in the theater. The opera was
sung by the following oast:
Elvira.. Emma Abbott
Giorauna Mvra Mirella
Pages !• Hulda Krause
) Florence Sine air
Ernani A. Monterriffo
Don Carlos William Prtietre
Dou Uuy Gomez de Silva William Rrod rick
Don Kicards H. Ready
Jago Richard Karl
The opera is of the heroio school, vigor
ous in s ory, exciting iu plot, thrilling in
scene and incident, and majestic in music.
More than any other opera, it places the
Abbott company upon its extremes! mettle
and develops its resources.
The performance was received rather
c >ldly at first, but in the second and third
acts the audience became enthusiastic and
th * house echoed with apolause. Miss
Abbott was in excellent voice, and Was
strongly supportel by M mtegriffo, Pruette,
and Broderick. The chorus is by far the
Strongest that Miss Abbott has ever had.
The plot of the opera is very simple. The
scene is laid in A rago i, Spain, in t ie six
teenth century. “Elvira,” who is betrothed
to “Don Ruy Gomez de Silva,” is in love
with Ernani.a bandit who,however,is a duke
mins native land, having been banished
for some offense. While Elvira Is in her
apartments prepariug for her nup
tials, the king, “Don Carlos,”
makes his appearance, and, af .or
protesting his love attempts to
carry her off. "Ernani” suddenly appears
and defies the king. “Don Sdva" comes on
tho scene while hot are passing be
tween •Ernani’ and the king. He understands
that on attempt has b en made to carrv off
“Elvira” by I) n Carlos, *mt do -s no:recog
nize him ns ■ lie king, die is about to pro
ceed to harsh measures, when ho discovers
it is his king to whom he is talking. He
apoligizes and the king roti:..s. As the
wedding of “Don Silva” with “Elvira" is
about to take place he discovers that
“Elvira”is In love witu “Ernani,” but before
he can execute vengeance upon “Email
"Dou Carlos,” the King reappears and de
mands teat “Ernani” be given up to
him. “Don Silva” refuses to gve him
up because lie is his gua-t. This makes the
king angry, but before his anger shows
itself in vi deuce “Elvira” appears and the
king carries her off as a hostage to insure
the giving up o£“Er.oani.” “Don Silva” then
challenges “Ernani” to fight a duel. Tue
c allonge is refused. “Ernani” acquaints
“Don Siiva” with the fact that the king is
his rival, and asks the privilege of joining
him in a conspiracy against the king’, life.
This is granted. “Ernani” promises to give
up his life whenever “Don Silva” shall de
mand it. It is agreed that a blast upon a
horn, which “Ernani” gives “Don Silva,”
s all Do the signal that “Dou Silva” de
sires “Eruaui’s life. The king discov>rs
the conspiracy against him, but forgives
the conspirators, arid gives “Elvira” to
“Ernani.” As “Elvira” aid “Eruam” are
at> u: to be wedded there is a bias: upon
the horn, and “Eruani” stabs him,elf and
dies.
Miss Abbott was recalled several times,
and at the etui of the second act she sang
“Home, S veet Home,” in response to the
enthusiastic applause. “Crown Diamonds”
will bo suug to-mght.

BERRIES AT FANCY PRICES.
The First of the Season's Strawberry
Crop Selling at 75 Cents a Ba3xet.
Strawberries are coming in, in small
quantities. Owing to the early supply, there
isa big demand, and any kind of prices are
pail f r them. They are selling now for
from 75 cents to fl a basket. Tuis is abmt
six weeks earlier than Savannah got straw
berries last year.
The strawberry season proper does not
liegin until t ie latter part of February or
first of March, when ordinary cold weather
prevail-, during tne winter season. This
winter has tieen an exception to the rule.
The inild wea her has started the berries to
growing au 1 ripening eariy.
Within the last two weeks frosts have
occurred, but the farmers have protected
the berries with rice chaff. Tne vines were
covered with the chaff an 1 scarcely any of
the truck.-rs have had vines damagei by
fr ss. One trucker said yesterday that if
no more severe weather occurs within the
next six weeks than has occurrel the straw
berry crop will be ave y large one.
During the winters of 1875 and 1876,
strawbe ries wero on the market nearly the
entire season. They wero for sale Christ
inas, and were shipped north New Year’s.
The demand, although g eat, did not keep
prices up, aid tho c >n>eque icj was that
berries brought low pric s all the season,
and in ttie end no: much moro mon y was
made by the gr iwors than if the season had
bee i not so favorable and the supply
sorter. Tne trucker said that there is
always a g >od demand for straw berries here,
and if the supply does not exceed the da
man 1 good prices are realized on the crop.
“What is the highest price ever paid for
berries hero?” he was -axel.
“Two doll irs a basset. This was a fancy
price, of course. A good many berries were
sold at that price, though."
“When?”
“In the spring of 1871. Berries had been
a long time in ripening. The winter was
severe and the viu-s were killed, most of
them, so that when the demand for the
fruit was greatest the supply was not much
in advance of wbat it is now. At that tune
truckers; asked what they pleased, and it
was only a master of who had the most
spare money, among con umers. The largest
pole g t the persimmon.”
The trucker sail that of late years
farmers are batter ire-pared to protect their
crops against cold, and the cultivation of
the berry is greatly improved.
“Is the quality of tne fruit improved?"
“Very much. Last season berries were
grown in Chatham county tnat were little
smaller ihan au egg. Before that time it
was only now and then that such fruit was
grown. When a trucker found a berry as
large as that be put it on exhibition.”
The strawberry show at the Floral Art
Association last ear surpassed any ever
seen bef ire in Savannah.
The quality of the berries is very good.
Those which nave been on the market are
good size and the ilavor is very fi e.
Ihe absence of rai l has made the berries
not quite s i larg ■>, but tiey are much firmer
and sweeter than they are in rainy seasons.
AT THE COURTS.
Gossip Picked Up Hera and There in
the Couft Rooms.
Owing to the absence of counsel for
plaintiff, the case of Jackson vs. Johnson,
Kimball & Cos., assigned for trial in the
United States circuit court yesterday morn

yesterday, and tho case was dismissed upon
motion of G. W. Owens, Esq.
No busi ess was tra sacted in the

criminal cases on to-day’s calendar.
A Peculiar industry.
The raising of kids for their skins is a
principal industry among th > French moun
taineers, and it supplies no small part of
their subsistence. Softness, delicacy of
texture, and freedom from blemish are
principal factors in the value of kid skins,
and to secure these great pains are taken.
Diet is the principal thing; the m ther’s
milk is what keeps the kid in perfect condi
tion for the uses of the glover. As soon as
tho young animal begins to eat grass the
value of the skin declines, for with a grass
diet its skin immediately begins to grow
coarser and narder in texture, a id its chief
merit vanishes. It is, therefore, kept
closely pe i ed, not only to prevent
it from eating grass, but also to secure
its skin fri m accidental injury from
scratches, bruises, etc., which are fatal to
perfection. When the kids have reached a
certain age at which the ski is are ii the
best condition for t e use of the glover, they
are killed, ami tho skins are sold to travel
