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 of the Week. The Savannah loe and Cold Storage Com pany will begin the foundation to-morrow for its new cold storage building, and before the close of the week it expects to be turn ing out ice.

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. GEN. JOHNSTON’S LETTER To the Savannah Confederate Vet erans' Association. Gen. Joseph E.

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 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.

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?
