THE CITY’S STREET LIGHTS.
The New Lamps Belnsr Put Up as
Rapidly as Possible.
The trouble iu procuring polos, Supt.
Keck of the Brush Electrio Light Company
said last night, has delayed the work of
putting up the additional fifty electric lamps
recently authorized by the city council
under tho resolution of Alderman HarmoD.
Supt. Keck says, however, that he is prom
ised the poles by day after to-morrow, and as
soon as they have been received the work
will be pushed forward rapidly, as all the
other material, wires, lamps, and the new
dynamo have been received.
Thus far only eight of the new lamps
have been put in placo. At present the city
electric lighting system is divided into four
loops, but a fifth loop is tfl be added, with
the fifty electric lamps, and, while the Brush
company has until July 1 to get the last
fifty lamps in position and ready to have
the current turned on, Supt Keck says ho
expects to have them all up and in operation
by the middle of June.
Alderman Harmon, chairman of the
street and lane committee of the council,
has received quite a number of petitions
from localities imperfectly lighted asking
for lamps in dark spots, and as far ns prac
ticable the requests of the petitioners will
be granted. Some of tho petitions have
been turned over to Superintendent Keck
by Alderman Harmon with instructions to
locate the lamps at the points desired,
reserving the right to change them should
occasion require. It is thought that when
the 250 lamps have all been located Savan
nah will be one of the best lighted cities in
the south.
The work of dismantling the towers was
continued during last week, and thus far
sixteen have been taken down, leaving four
yet to come down. The towers taken down
were those located at Price and Huntingdon
Btroets, Abercorn and Waldburg, Bolton
and Montgomery, BuU and Gordon Bull
and President, and Stewart and Wilson
streets. Those to come down are located in
Greene square, at the Lower Rice mill, at
Ann and River streets, and
at Orange and St Gaul streets.
The tower in the Central railroad yards is
the property of the Central, and will re
main, the city paying for tho tower lights
as it did under the old contract. The tower
lights on the Franklin square reservoir and
the city exchange will of course be re
tained.
The Brush company began anew depart
ure last week iu supplying motor
power. About fifteen motors, ranging from
one-eighth to four-horse power, were
put in operation, and eight more aro t#
be put inthis week. Drug stores, ice
cream saloons, barrooms and printing
offices are the principal places supplied.
The motor addition necessitated anew line
of wire and a special dynamo, and quite
extensive additions have been made to the
plant to enable it to supply the current to
the larger circuit for street lighting and for
supplying motor power. The works now
run the special motor dynamo from 7 o’clock
in the morning until 10 o’clock at night.
THE NEW ICE COMPANY
To be Ready to Turn Out Ice the Last

The Savannah loe and Cold Storage Com
pany will begin the foundation to-morrow
for its new cold storage building, and before

YESTERDAY MORNING’S FIRE.
Tho Losses and Insurance—The Build
ings to be Torn Down.
The partially burned buildings at Jeffer
son, Congress and St. Julian streets at
tracted a crowd of sight-seers yesterday,
and the dangerous condition of the north
west walls led City Marshal Wade to fence
in the buildings so that accident to passers
by would be averted.
The Kuhlmau. Nathan Bros, and Alexan
der stores were kept locked up all day
awaitiug the action of the adjusters. The
Southern Mutual Insurance Company re
moved most of the stock of damages! gro
ceries from the second floor of Heidt & Sla
ter’s store on the corner.
Au effort was made to learn from Mr.
Slater to what extent his firm was insured.
It is understood that it carried $6,000,
equally divided between the agencies of
Haines & Daniel and Hearing & Hull, and
that it will not cover more than one-half
the loss.
Nathan Bros., as stated in yesterday's
Morxixo News, are insured for $4,000 in
Cohen’s agency, and they claim that it will
not more than half cover their loss.
Mr. Alexander, agent for his wife, is in
sured for $7,000; $3,500 is with Bearing &
Hull, $2,000 with R J. Davant & Son, and
$1,500 with J. F. Wheaton & Son. Mr.
Alexander says that he had more stock than
insurance, but he will be satisfied with
$7,000.
Mr. Kuhlmau was unable to state what
insurance he carries, but, be said, his stock
was largely iu excess of his insurance.
There was some talk around the ruins as
to the statements made to the city council,
sitting as a court to pass upon the appeals
of Mr. Alexander and the Nathan Bros,
from the assessment on their stock as raised
by City Marshal Wade, assistant receiver
of tax returns, to City Treasurer Hardee.
Marshal Wade said that Mr. Alex
ander swore his stock would not
exceed $1,500 in value, and Nathan Bros,
swore to $1,700 in stock, stating that
while they didn’t have that much, to be
perfectly fair with the city they concluded
to make it that much in their return.
Neither firm would disclose, when called
upon by the marshal and members of the
assessment committee, how much insurance
they carried.
\\ hen the goods have been removed from
Heidt & Slater’s store, the northwest corner
of the building will have to be pulled down,
a- it is in a dangerous condition, and is lia
ble to fall at any moment.
The origin of the fire is still unknown. It
broke out in Kuhlman’s harness store and
repair shop, but Mr. Kuhiman says he is at
a loss to account for it. He lives on Fourth
street, and the first information be had of
the fire was by reading yesterday’s Morn
ing News before coming down town.
There was no little curiosity to know
why the “Big Duke” did not strike alarms
night before last. Chief Fireman Fader
explains that a request had been made
not to ring the “Big Duke” in
case of fire, owing to the serious illness of
Miss Wilkins, residing across the street
from firemen’s headquarters, and the bell
was switched off. The gongs sounded in all
the engine houses, so that the switching off
of the big bell did not embarrass the fire
department in any manner.
BUILDING THE DEPOTS.
The New Stations on the Savannah
and Western Line.
The Central railroad began the building
of nine depots and nine section houses yos
t'erday on the Savannah and Western rail
road. The stations are located between Sa
vannah and Lyons, as follows: Meldrima,
Ellabell, Pembroko, Euphaupee, Hogan,
Collins and Ohoopie. These are all the sta
tions at which depots will be built at
present. The depot at Lyons will be built
conjointly by the Central and the Savan
nah, Amoricus and Montgomery railroa Is.
Threo section houses will be built at each
of the following stations: Two miles east of
Ellabell, Pembroke, Euphaupee, near Con
ley, between Hogan and Manassas, Collins
and Ohoopie.
Chief Engineer Dabney has had a good
deal of difficulty in getting work started on
the new depots. He advertised for bids
nnd the contracts were awarded, but before
the contractor began work be abandoned
his contract, and the other contract was
taken from the contractor.
Having experienced so much annoyance
in the building of the houses, the Central
concluded to go ahead aud build the houses
with its own force. Work began yesterday.
The depots will be frame buildings and
will have two waiting rooms, a ticket otll e
and an agent’s office. The warehouses will
adjoin the passenger waiting rooms and
will be so constructed as to admit of being
enlarged when the increase of business de
mands it A platform will extend entirely
around the structures. The ticket offici
will be provided with a bay window ex
tending out on the platform.
The section houses will be neat, two-room
houses, except the foremen’s houses; they
will have four rooms. At each station will
boa foreman’s house and three laborers’
houses. The total outlay will approximate
$25,000.
Tho work will be pushed, and within six
weeks it is believed it will have been com
pleted.

PREPARING FOR CAMP.
The Arrangements Made by the Mili
tary Advisory Board.
Col. C. H. Olmstead, CoL George A.
Mercer and Col. William Garrard of the
military advisory board have returned
from Augusta. They devoted a good deal
of their time to perfecting details for the
June encampment. It was decide 1 that the
encampment should begin June 10 and con
tinue one week. About 1,160 soldiers will
be in camp during that week, it is thought.
Col. Mercer was made commandant of the
camps. The board decided that all cavalry
companies which have signified an intention
of going into camp shall do so mounted
or dismounted, as their perference directs.
Nearly all of the companies of the First
eavalry regiment will go into camp. Col.
Gordon has received letters from the most
of them, and before the time for the com
panies to enter it is believed that all will go.
Col. William Garrard was secretary of
the advisory board meeting. Gov. Gordon
was requested to name the camp “Rich
mond,” in honor of Richmond county and
Augusta.
The Secretary of War has detailed Lieut.
Serrett of the recruiting station in Augusta
as camp Instructor. The camp msti uctor
is to have an assistaut, who will bo ap
pointed soon. The Fourth Artillery band
of McPherson barracks has been engaged
and will be at the camp during the entire
week.
It was decided that no applications from
new companies be considered until after the
encampment. The board examin and the re
ports from different companies relative to
having the requisite number of men to sus
tain a company, and nine out of ton com
! anies were cited to appear and show cause
why they should not disband.
The meeting of the advisory board was a
very importaut one. The officers of the
local companies of Augusta entertained
the board after the meeting adjourned.
The next meeting will be held 18, in
Augusta.
A GOOD TIME TO GO WE3T.
The Western Railroad War Brings
Down the Bates.
The rate war in the west between the
Louisville and Nashville railroad and the
Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham
railroad is going to make cheap transporta
tion from Savannah to the west. Formerly
the trip to Kansas City from Savannah was
$33 35, it is now S2O 85.
The cut comes in on the western fines.
The fare formerly from Birmingham to
Kansas City was S2O, but the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham put the rate
down to sl3 50. The Louisville and Nash
ville promptly met the low rate. A trip to
Kansas City over the Louisville and Nash
ville is via St. Louis, to which ooint alone
the fare from Birmingham is sls. The fare
from Savannah to Birmingham is sl3 35.
Some are inclined to think that the rate
war which is prevailing all over the western
country will not last long. It is believed
that the rates will not go much lower, if
any. A railroad man said yesterday that
these rate wars are not ns terrible as people
who aro not railroaders imagine. It is more
a benefit to a road than anything. In fact,
ho said, some roads cut rates to advertise
their fines and increase travel by holiliug up
to the people a costly article at a "give
away” price. It iB a sharp trick practiced
among some railroads, and is another way
of getting up big excursions.
It if not believed, however, that the rate
war, which is going ou out iu the west now,
is an advertising scheme. The rates of fare
are too low. The lines which have begun
the “cut” are competing liueß, and no agree
ment has ever been reached between tnem
upon auything. Both are strong roads.
Tne cutting may bo indulged in some time
before they wifi feel it.
The Louisville and Nashville people say
that while they are not on the aggressive,
they aro ready to meet any cuts made by
competitors. The rate war has forced the
fare from St. Louis to Kansas City down to
$3, aud from St. Louis to Denver down to
$lO 50.
It issaid that the ticket scalpers are hay
ing a fine old lime, The cut rate business
plays right for them and they are jubilant.
THE CffAIH WARMERS.

sary at Thunderbolt.
The first annual outing and banquet of

THE NEWS IN POOLER."
The Day’s Doings in the Busy Little
Villago.
Rev. W. R. McConnell will hold services
in the St. James’ Episcopal chapel to-day.’
The charades to be given by the young
folks of Pooler for the benefit of the chapel
will be given Friday evening. After the
charades refreshments will be sold.
Wednesday evening the members of
Richard Turner lodge, F. and A. M., had a

Deputy Grand Master Lester of Millen was
present, and assisted in conferring the

lodge invited the members to a bountiful
repast, where speeches were indulged in.
Each member of the lodge was presented
with a bouquet at the supper.
Mr. Cummings, day operator in charge of
the Charleston and Savannah railway tele
graph office at the Central railroad cross
ing, three miles from Savannah, has made
his home at Pooler, going home every even
ing on the shoofly and returning next
morning on the “goober”.
When the excursion business commences
June 1 it will bo quite inconvenient for
those people desiring to go to Savannah
early on Sunday. The shoofly will not
arrive in Savannah until 11 o’olock, bring
ing its leaving time at Pooler about 10:40
o’clock, instead of 7:40 o’clock, as at present.
Another Dividend.
The directors of the Title Guarantee and
Loan Company of Savannah couple the an
nouncement of second dividend of $3
per share with a notice of issue of an addi
tional 500 shares of stock. The success of
this institution Is phenomenal. During the
two years of its existence it has made a
large outlay in fitting up splendid banking
rooms, and furnishing books and general
stationery for future use, and has, iu addi
tion, declared to its stockholders dividends
amounting to over 12 per cent, per annum
upon the amount paid in, for the average
time of payment. When it is considered
that the first year’s earnings of such institu
tions usual absorb the profits for that
period, the stookholders may well be con
gratulated upon the prudent management
that yielded such excellent results. The
new stockholders wifi be exempt from the
large expense account incident to organiza
tion.

A FEW ADVANTAGES
To Piano Buyers.
If you think of buying a piano during
the coming year you will naturally devote
some thought to the subject, in order to
make up your mind as to where you can
buy to the best advantage.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Where can I buy at or below New York
prices?
What house has had the greatest experi
ence in buying and selling instruments?
Where can one see the largest stock of
pianos in the south ?
What house employs none but skilled
men, who can explain to me every detail of
the mechanical construction of a piano?
Which dealer would be most likely to
represent the best pianos—the one whoso
trade is local or the one who sells hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth yearly?
Where can I be sure that lam paying
exactly what a piano is worth—exactly
what my shrewd business neighbor pays—
no more, no less?
If the answer to these Questions is not at
once apparent, kindly call upon us and we
believe we can help you to a determination.
