A Little More Promptness Would Ba a Convenience All Around. Although the state and county tax digest bas been opened for some time taxpayers are slow in settling. There are over $300,000 to be collected by Decaniber, and the habit of people waiting until the lr.st days to pay their taxes throng a great deal of hard work upo i Tax Col lector ik-Gowau und h's assm ants in a short •pace of time. If pay ments were made more promptly the w. rk of the office would be more eq ializ-d, aud a consideraoie amount of inconvenience all around would be obviated. Last December Tax Collector McGowan was comp-4.ed to empl yan officer during the few days preceding the closing of the books, to keep the people in line and avoid a crush. The same scenes will probably be repeated this year unless the taxpayers show a little more proujpthufcs than they have for the past week. In Jail for Attempted M udsr.

A Slight Blaze at the A. J. Miller Fur niture Store A Are alarm from box No. 13, at Brough ton and Whitaker streets, brought out a crowd of several thousand people last night about 7 o'clock. The lire department re sponded promptly and was ready for beavv work, which, however, was not needed. The fire was on the third floor of the A. J. Miller Furniture Company’s building, No. 171 Broughton street, near the cor ner of Barnard. It was discovered by Mr. Robert Miller. While upon the second floor of the building he smelled sinnke and Investigating found the third floor full of smoke coming from a lot of mattresses which bad just been received and had been stored a few hours before. He at ooce gave the alarm and the employes of the borne et ouce set to work with fire ex tlnguishers and buckets of water to fight the Are. By the time the firemen arrived they had nearly extinguished the tire, and a stream from the chemical completed tbe work in very short order. The damage was very small. It is supposed that a spark from a pipe or a cigare’to dropped among the mattroses while they were being stowed and after ward kindled into tbe blaze. Had it been any other night than Saturday tbe place would ave beeu closed and a disastrous fire might have resulted. A CARLOAD OF COTTON ABLAZE. A Singular File In the Central Rail road Cotton Yard. Night Yardmaster Rufus Christian dis covered smoke issuing from a oar loaded v.ith cotton in the Central railroad yard, below tbe freight depot, about 8:30 o’clock, last night. He gave the alarm to Offlcsr Patterson of the Central railroad police, who sent in an alarm to the fire department from box No. 23 at the passenger depot. By the time tbe firemen reached tne scene of the fire, which was 200 or 300 yards from the West Bioad street gqte of the railroad yard stuoice was issuing from the car in volumes, and the fire could be seen at tbe top and bottom of the car at one end. The car was broken open and a stream from the chemical and one stream of water was turned on, extinguishing the blaze in short order. Six or eight bales of cotton were badiy scorched, but the damage to the cotton is less than SIJO and property not over SSO. The car is badly burned at oue end, but the damage can be repaired for less than SSO. How the fire originated is. of course, a mystery, as it is in most cotton (ires. It was local oocton which had been received only yesterday, and tbe fire might have beeu smoldering from a spark dropped from a npe in h ading at the station from which t was shipped, or a spark from one or tbe engines In the yard might have been blown through a crack iu the car. ODD FALLOWS’ ORPHANS. The Movement to Build a Home for Them. The Odd Fellows of Savannah are deeply interested in the movement to build tbe Odd Fellows’ orphans’ home. The committee appointed by tbe grand body at its last session, iu Columbus, has prepared and sent to the members of the order throughout the state, a circular letter containing the action of the grand lodge, and with it au appeal for subscriptions to aid tbo enterprise. The selection of a site for the home is in the bauds of a snbcomiiill tee composed of D. B. Woodruff of Macon, J. A. Anderson of Atlanta, aud George O. Berry of Colum bus, which will receive proposals for the location of the heme and will report to the general committee at its next meeting in February, at which time the propositions will be considered and a perao al examina tion of offerings will bo made by the whole committee of all pla rs that muy be consid ered as competing. Sites will tie offered by Macon, Columbus,Griffin, Atlanta, Rome, Canton, Athens, Augusta, aud, perhaps, other points. Ttic-e will be carefully looked into by the committee, aud the most advantageous will be selected. In the meantime the canvass for funds is going on. Grand Treasurer J. 8. Tyson of tins city, who is also treasurer of tho home committee, is making an active effort in that direction. The committee wants to raise $20,000. It has already raised something over $6,0U0. Mr. Tyson bas issued a circular appeal which will bo p’aced in the hands of every Odd Fellow In Georgia, aud through this means he hopes to raise the required amount. GOOD THINGS TO EAT. The Market 'Wall Stooged With Them bow. Inspector Desvergersof the Citizens’Sani tary Associatl u, in his report of Inspection of food product iu the Savannah market for the week ending laat night, says that dressed meats of all kinds made an excellent average in quality, and were abuudunt and in good condition. I’ickled beef, pickled tripe, pickled pigs' feet, pickled tongues, corned beef, sau-ages and meat puddings made a good average, as did also game, fish, oysters, clams and shrimp. Vegetables, both green and dry, were plentiful and averaged good in quality. Fruits, such as apples, pears, oranges, ba nanas and grapes, were also plentiful aud of good quality. The inspector reports that the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have b*en doing good work in tbe city of late toward the promotion of sanita tion, as well as obviating Inhumanity to dumb creatures in preventing the over crowding of poultry and birds in coops, and tbe merciless manner in which they and other animals were bound aid bandied in transportation before that society resumed operations. A PISTOL AT HIB HEAD. Robbers Go Through a Central Rail road Passengor s Pocket*. A colored passenger on the train from Ellabel last night, reported to Officer Pat terson at tbe Cen ral railroad depot that he had been robbed of $5 on the train by four ueg oes, who held a pi.tol to his head and went through his pockets. He said be was a turoentine hand, work ing at Ellabel, and drew his w ages yesterday and started tor Savannah. He had a nut $25 in his p >ekets, of which $5 was in cop prß. The robbers got the coppors, but over looked the other mouey. They also took his coat. Tho negroes pretended to jump off the train at Po. Ur, but a fl igman saw them hoard the train again. Tbe negro wauted Officer Patterson to arrest two who came iu on the train. The ollirer in ten led to in vestigate the case, but ntiout that time the (i e In tbs Cen’ral railroad yard broke out aud compelled his attention elsewhere, Tho negro was in his shirt • :eeves and nno of Ins pantaloon's pockets was torn.

The Big Euslness Savannah Banks Do-The New Water Works and Other Improvements. Maj. Ryals has probably tbe most com plete truck farm in Georgia. Every new invention iu tbe way of farmi g Imple ments is promptly secured by him and put In operation. Mu], Ryals says his farm is the only one In the state which is provided wit i a house hay fork. This is ore of the greatest laboring-saving machines in the farming world. Under the old system of forking the hay by hand about eight men were required to put away a wagon-load in a b iru, but with the automatic fork, which works like a man’s hand, the hay can lie put away in th ee minutes. The fork Is operated by a system of pulleys, trucks and guy ropes. The wagou containing hay is driven under a hatoh-vay in the barn, the fork is dropped down and driven into the hay. A pair of mules attached to the le d ing rope are driven off and the load lifted into the barn and run along to whatever point the operator handling the guy roj.es wishes to drop it. Then with a twi.t of the rope the props of the fork are unloosed and the hay lot fall. Only three men are re quired to operate the fork—the driver of the wagon, the man who handles the guy r -pcs t.cd the driver of the mules. Tons ot hay can be put nway In a day, where be fore there were only a few wagon-loads. The Atlanta Constitution, in speaking of the speech of Hon. Fleming G. dußignon at ths Grady banquet Wednesday night, pays him the following high compliment: “The speech of Hon. Fleming dußignon of Sa vannah, in response to the toast to “Goor gia," at the banquet of the Young Men’s Democratic League Wednesdav night, was tbe talk of Atlanta yesterday. It is not often that such a speech is delivered in At lanta, which means that is not often ex celled in this country, for here in Atlanta we get the bast of everything in the way of speaking. The eloquent young Sa vanuah orator fairly thrilled his audience. Several times during the progress of bis speech he was interrupted with vociferous applause, and when he had concluded he was called to his feet four times by the audience. A more eutiusiastic reception was never given a speech, aud it is a fair cr.ticiem of h s effort to sav that as a gem of oratory it will go down to history. It is a remarkable contribution to the ora tory of tbe day, ar.d the effort of this splendid orator is on the lips of everybody, from the simple fact that every man of the 100 who heard it has been talking about it to everybody else,” Tho mill men reported the receipts of rice sumewhnt heavier last wesk, and the thills were kept fairly busy pounding rice. The market nas improved somewhat, there be ing a Blight i: crease iu prioe and a better demand. Home of the brokers reported \ ery good saios for the week. The weather of late has been very favorable to harvest ing, which has gone ahead rapidly. All of tha old rice bas been harvested and tbs harvesting of the late rice is now going on. The late rice is not turning out as well as was expected, and ibe yield will be small. The planters have been disappointed all around this year. The early rice from which a large yield was expec.ed turned out considerably less than was expected and the low price prevailing added to the loss. The small yield of the late rice adds to the disappointment. General Manager YV. H. Green, Traffic Manager Sol Haas, and General Passenger Agent J. L. Taylor of the Richmond aud Danville railroad arrived in Savannah lost night ou their regular tour of inspection. Tboy were Been at tbo De is ito by a Mobning News reporter with regard to the recent reports of the East Tennessee, Virginia ami Georgia railroad having sc oured control of tbo Richmond and Dan ville.

They said they had no knowledge of the financial affairs of the Richmond Terminal Company. “YVe are not at nil uneasy ab ut our positions,” saia General Manager Grc-en. The general officials will remain in Savannah until Monday night or Tuesday morning. A sample of cotton over sixty years old was left in the Morning News office last night by Mr. YViiliam Speight. It was grown near Lexington, 8. C., aud has bean used in a mattress in the family of George Leaphart of South Carolina over fifty-six years. The cotton was hand picked and hand carded, aud is now being recarded. Its fiber is firm and the cotton is in as good condition as if it had just been picked. It is oi abort staple and is an evidsuce ot tbe wearing quality of cotton. T. T. Johnson, consulting engineer for the new water works, has returned to Chi cago after spending several days iu the city. The work is progressing very satis factorily at the water works. Five weiis have been completed and work is g -ing on upon the sixth. Tbs company that has the contract for the conduit will break ground early next month, and work from thep on will progress rapidly.

Contractor Ryan has the con tract. and ground w.U be broken to-mor row. The plans for the house were pre pared by Architect A. 8. Eichberg, and it wiii be one of tbe finest frame houses in tbe city, costing over SIO,OOO. An idea of the business of Savannah can be bad when it is stated that the amount of exchanga.bought - y the banks is ranging from $700,000 to $1,000,000 a day, and the clearing homo shows a business of from $500,000 to SBOO,OOO per day. These lntter figures show the local business among mer chants. THE RIVER AND HARBOR.

" JN’T^TYLEsT Many of the Leading Character# of the Trade. “Brown is king.” “What kind of Brown do you refer to t” said Ito Mr. M. Levy, the London ami Fans tailor. “Weil, no special Brown with two lags, bat the color we cail “brown,” and his full name Is Dark Brown, or Light Brown, or Reddish Brown, Simply Tun, or half a and zen otherthings that we wot, of, or wot of with a very ind finite wutlstness.” “And,of course, you have ail the leading shades in browns f” Yes, and they bare been selling rapidly this season; look at tbe lot of suits hanging there, to be sent up to-day. Never iu the history of the merchant tailoring business in S -vauuah has there been a finer di-p ay or such a satisfactory trade. We lead tne stylej; we lead with the goods; we load with the assortments: we lead with the trim mings, and we lead wi h the fasrionable fittings and artistically made garments.” “Wbat style is the most popular just now?’ I asked. “The leading busin-S) suit, which is in favor just at present, is tho double-: roasted sack su;t. It is made of .Scotch t.veeds, usually indistinctly striped. Too average length is thirty-one Lelies, and though not closely fitting is inclined to be shapely. The lapels are well pease 1; the edges, Irooi op posite the top of the lower poukets.are evenly spaced for tour but ton holes, and the roll exteuds to the second upper. The buttons are placed live iuenes from the edge and the edges are doui le -stitcbed. The sleeves are finished with a vent aud one button “ ihe vest to this suit is cut to roll Inch'll aud is generally 25;<t inches in length. “Ten trousers are 21 inches at the knee and and 17 at the foot, with a slight spring; the side seams ore made up with a narrow welt." “Trousers seem to be getting back tc the incipient 'peg tops,’ ” I remarked. “Fast coming to it,”said Mr. Levy. "So, also, Is velvet for collars asserting Itself with praiseworthy persistency. “It does not matter what particular stvle is prevailing and popular, I take g od care not to get left. I have intr duerd stylish garments, have advanced the Sartorial art to a degree of gratifying prominence iu this city, and the many fashionable appreciate these efforts.” M. Levy, tbe London and Paris tailor, has a very large and c mplote selection of the very latest pr oduction in Scotch tweeds and woolens of ail bind*. His business is increasing rapidly, and his customers are always pleased with the fashionable gar ments that come from Levy, tbe Loudon aud Paris tailor, No. 6 Bull street. TKB BEADING PUBLIC WILL NOT*. “See that stylish carriage?" This remark was male to me a few days ago a* I was standing at the corner of Bull aud Broughton streets. I looked up aid beheld a piece of mechanism that surprised me. The handsomest family carriage in Savannah. 8o muob planned was I with Ihe unique outlines of the vehicle and the general “got up" and trimmings that 1 in quired where it came from. Ihe driver in formed me that it was Bought from D. A. Altick’s Son*.

Aitick’s Hons yesterday aud s’ went through" their large and commo dious war-rooms. “Uur factory i* at Laucaster, Pa.,” said Mr. Altick, “where the business has been established since 1848. YVe are the leading manufacturers of atural wood specialties, including buokbo.rrds, carts, wagonettes, etc., besides supplying to the whole world our celebrated maker of b iggies and car riages, that cannot be excelled anywhere in the United States.” “Your specialties!" “Now you have touched tis. They are so numerous and popular that it is almost unnecessary to mention them. Still, we would tie pleased to ca 1 attention to onr Broadway Queen phaeton, a beautiful and comfortable vehicle, whier is rapidly be coming very po, ular for physicians aud others. They are made In three grades, all of which are with buffed top and curtain excedently trimmed, handsomely painted aud striped, superior material aud work - manship und well-finished throughout. "The Atiick road cart needs no recom mendation. It is known ad appreciated everywhere. 'lbe’Htick’ sear, the double seat and the single seat carte have all un dergone the severest tests, aud are recog nized as the ligutsst, neatest and best roud carts on tbe market. “Our eight-passenger wagonette is one of the most popular vehicles in use, and we have a large demand for tne u. Our Mc- Caull wagon is made in several grades, but the must popular aud fashionable and con venient vehicle that is made is the Climax buckboard. It is several vehicles iu one. Its mechanism is complete, and they are made for a combination of one, two or three seats, and it is a very unique and haudsome vehicle. They are all the go. “Talk about market wagons, look at our No. 100 three spring in grades A and B. Are they • ot perfect gems for convenience and durability 1” I saw all these elegant equipages and a fine display of elegant lap robes and horse blankets, and came to the conclusion that D. A. Altick’s Sons are leaders in their line, and deserve the immense patronage they re ceive. SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO YOU.
