jjlin 0. Smith's House a Sacrifice to
the Flames.
The Handsome Structure a Total
Loss 8,000 Feet of Hose Keauired
to Beach It—Water From Bilbo
Thrown on the Flames—Part of the
Furniture Saved by the Firemen.
The Loss Covered by Insurance.
A blaze was discovered on tho east side
of the roof of the residence of Mr. John
O. Smith, about a quarter of a mile from
the toll Kate on the north side of the
Thunderbolt road, yesterday morning
shortly before 10 o'clock, and by noon the
handsome residence was leveled to the
ground.
Mrs. Smith was in the kitchen when
one of the neighbors rushed hurriedly in
to the house and told her that it was on
Civ A messenger was sent at once to
tho nearest telephone and the alarm was
sent into headquarters, but by the time
the department reached the scene of the
blaze the roof and the greater part of the
upper story had been burned and the
flames were fast eating down into the
center of the building.
TOOK a,OOO FEET OF HOSE.
The nearest fire station, which was the
headquarters, was more than a mile away
from the house, and it took some time to
pet there, although the department made
one of the quickest trips that it has made
in some time. When the alarm was
turned in from box 17 the department was
already on the scene. The house was
situated about half a mile from the
nearest water plug, and it took over 2,000
feet of hose to reach it. By the time a
stream was put on it, therefore, it was of
little avail. The fire laddies worked with
a will, however, and did all in their
power to stop the progress of the flames,
but with a thirty-milo-an-hour wind
which was blowing at that time and the
fire well under way, they could do but
little with one stream. They worked from
tho hydrant until No. 3 engine, which was
being used, broke down, and water had to
be procured then in the best way possible.
GOT WiTIU FROM BILBO.
No. 1 engine, which is the largest in the
department, was stationed at Bilbo canal,
some 40(1 feet nearer the blaze, and four
lengths of hose were taken off. Water
was then pumped on the blaze from the
canal, but to little avail. The house was
soon destroyed, and about 1 o’clock noth
ing was left standing but one side of it
and the brick basement.
The firemen turned their attention early
in the fray to saving the surrounding
houses, for the heavy wind was blowing
sparks right and left. The light rain,
however, which was continuous during
the morning, helped materially in pre
venting the fire from spreading. One lit
tle house across the street, with a wooden
roof, caught from a spark and a slight
blaze started, but it was soon put out by
the chemical engirie which was on hand.
The other houses were from one to two
hundred feet away, and although sparks
were blown that distance they were saved
from catching from the fact that they had
tin roofs and the rain was steadily falling.
SAVED PART OF THE FURNITURE.
Seeing that there was little possibility
of saving any part of the house the fire
men went to work to get out all of the
furniture possible. The wind was blow
ing the smoke down through the doors,
and it was impossible to do anything save
from the rear of the building, and theh
only through the windows. In this way,,
however, a considerable amount of the
furniture was gotten out, among which
was Mrs. Smith’s piano, the safe and a
lot of household and kitchen furniture.
Everything else may be considered a total
loss.
The house was a 3-stor,v structure, inclu
ding the basement, and had a mansard
roof on top. It was a handsome residence
and Mr. Smith had spared no pains in fin
ishing it up in first-class style. The finish
ing of the interior of the story just above
the basement was elegant, the doors be
ing all walnut and the other wood finish
ings being of the finest kinds of woods.
Mr. Smith had taken an especial pride
in his residence and the finishing both in
side and out was handsome.
COVERED BY INSURANCE
There is no telling how the fire started.
It was a mystery, as there was no fire up
stairs at the time, and nothing - was
known of it until the flume was seen
bursting through the roof. It could
hardly have been an incendiary, catching
from the roof as it did, and was most
likely caused from a defective flue, though
it has not been accounted for as yet. Mr.
Smith said he had $2,000 insurance on his
furniture, and {9,000 on his residence,
though lie didn’t remember the different
companies in which it was placed.
UNDER TWO WARRANTS.
Letter Carrier O’Driscoll Charged With
Assault and Cruelty to Animals.
letter Carrier M. C. O’Driscoll was ar
rested yesterday on two warrants issued
by Justice Waring liussell, Jr., charging
him with assault and with cruelty to ani
mals. He was admitted to bail pending
the action of the grand jury.
The circumstances which led to the
arrest are these: Wednesday afternoon
when O’Driseoll was malting his delivery
of mail, he called at Mrs. Kate Smith’s
hoarding house, No. 47 West Broad street.
Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Reeves, who occupy
rooms in the house, own a small Scotch
terrier, a pet of Mrs. Reeves. As the
door was opcucd.,te receive tW mail the
dog snapped at the carrier's legs. Mrs.
llccvcs asked him if he had been bitten
and lie replied no, that the terrier’s toetli
had just touched the skin.
-Mrs Reeves supposed that was all
there was of it. Later in the afternoon
11 Ih-isi ull returned with a loaded stick
or billy and demanded the dog. He said
he was going to ktll him. Mrs. Reeves
refused to give up her pet. and according
to her statement and that Mrs. Smith
' ’ Driscoll poshed his way into the
bouse. Mrs. Reeves seized the dog and
: m into the kitchen and closed tb” door
ami held it. O’Driscoll followed her and
owed the door open, throwing Mrs,
Reeves across the ‘ room and struck the
dog a blow with the billy.
•Mrs. Reeves, who is in delicate health
aonamod. Mis. Smith started up stairs
v - h her, and as they were part way
V Driscolli struck thedog again. Mrs.

HEALTH CERTIFICATE FEES.
The Morning News recently called at
tention to the fact that Savannah people
returning from Asheville are charged *1
for health certificates. The Asheville
Citizen has interviewed a number of
physicians, some of whom charge and
others do not. Dr. Weaver, from whom
quite a number of Savannahians have ob
tained certificates, and who is a member
of the Asheville board of health, is
quoted as saying: “I have given certifi
cates and have charged for them just as I
would for prescriptions. The health
board has no seal and there is no one here
to give an official certificate 1 signed
myself as a member of the health board,
but not as the exclusive member whose
duty it was to give a certificate." Tho
mayor and city clerk of Asheville say
they make no charge for certificates.
The Morning News received yesterday
a letter from a well-known business man
of Asheville in reference to tho matter.
He says:
Editor Morning News: Your article rela
tive to charging u fee for health certificates
from visitors leaving Asheville is referedto in
the Evening Citizen to day. You are right,
and I am hi a position to prove that a member
of our health board charged one of your good
citizens {2 for a health certificate' of about
five lines. The gentleman referred to was for
many weeks a guest of the ‘ Oakland
Heights," an elegant gontleman, liberal and
willing to pay for value received. Physicians,
when they make such charges us stated above,
injure the reputation of our beautiful moun
tain rosort. and create ihe impression that
any. otte coming to Asheville will he robbed of
his last dollar, which :s certainly a great In
justice to our healthy mountain home, and
to all Interested in jts welfare. And to create
such an impression. wrongfully, Injures oUr
beautiful “Land' of the Sky.’ M SWAIN.
Judge Fcrrill of the ordinary's court
says the Pennsylvania railroad refuses to
sell tickets to Savannah except ou certifi
cates issued by the New York-board of
health.
Certificates furnished •by Dr. Brunner
as health officer of Savannah for members
of Judge Feryill's family would not be re
ceived as evidence, and the applicants for
tickets were compelled to secure Certifi
cates from tho New York board of health.
A fee of f 0 cents is charged for certificates
by the New York board.
The general opinion is that the Penn
sylvania railroad is acting in a very pe
culiar manner in regard to the Savannah
quarantine.

AT THE THEATER.
The Craigen-Paulding Company the
Rest of the Week.
The Craigen-Paulding Company in
which Maida Craigen and Fredrick Paul
ding are dual stars will be at the theater
the rest of the week. To-night and to
morrow’s matinees. A Duel of Hearts
will be played, to-morrow night Lorine.
A Duel of Hearts is a romantic comedy
drama, full of pathos and gives Miss Crai
gen ample scope for the display of her
emotiouul powers. The Albany, New
York, Times, says:
“It. is a strong drama, depicting fash
ionable life In Europe at the present day.
The story in brief follows: Two young
French noblemen, brothers, are ‘doing’
social London. They become acquainted
with a capricious young Cuban, with the
better part of her nature not developed.
The younger brother falls madly in love
with the beauty, who leads him on. He
tells of his love, and is in turn told that
she does not love him. He is in despair,
and in a shaded corner of the room,
shielded from tho guests, stabs himself,
after writing a letter telling of his infatu
ation. The elder brother discovers him
and swears vengeance on the woman.
"The second act shows the brother
leading on the woman, who really loves
him. He denounces her, and she becomes
a maniac. A year after a friend inadvert
ently informs him of the great love the
woman has for him and of her sad condi
tion. His heart is touched, and then he
discovers that he himself really loves her.
He returns and declares his passion, and
the curtain falls to a happy finale. Tho
story is of sustained interest, and the cli
maxes very dramatic. The dialogue is
pithy, and many delightful comedy scenes
afford admirable coutrast to the more pa
thetic portions of the plot.
• Of the acting of Miss Craigen anil Mr.
Paulding nothing but words of highest
praise can be said. Their work was con
scientious, aud showed careful study
and attention to detail. The supporting
company is excellent and special notice
would "be given them did space permit,
it was a superb performance and will be
repeated this afternoon. A number of
friends from out of town wero present,
including Mr. Paulding’* mother, who
seemed much pleused with the hoarty re
ception accorded her son."

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1893.
A BULLET BROKE HISNECK.
Continued from Eighth Page,
ward. When they left the city on their
mission they did not know that a reward
had been offered by the governor, and the
city council, though in session at the
time, did not decide to offer a reward for
Walker's capture until two hours after
Lieut. Reilly and his detachment had
left the city. It would be pretty hard if
the rewards were withheld from them
simply because they are city policemen.
Mr. Thompson, and Baker, the colored
constable, certainly have a right to ask
for their share of the rewards offered.
They will probably do so later. About
SIOO each is tho figure which it is gener
ally conceded the captors of Walker
should receive.
Detective Bossell, while lie had no
share in yesterday's events, has the satis
faction of knowing that his judgmeut
was vindicated. On Tuesday he told a
Morning News reporter that whon
Walker left the city, if he had not already
done so, it would be by the Ogeechee road
and that he would go to his relatives near
Way's station.
BOSSELL’S THEORY.
So satisfied was Detective Bossell of
this that he wrote a letter two days ago
to a deputy sheriff of Bryan county living
at Way’s station and sent it to him by De
tective Hanley, who is on quaran
tine duty, notifying the deputy sheriff
to look out for Walker in the
neighborhood in which he was found. He
was expecting to hear from the deputy
sheriffs every day, and would probably
have done so some time this week.
Detective Bossell has labored hard in
the case, and it is by no fault of his that
he failed to effect Walker’s capture in
the city. He was unfortunate in not re
ceiving an early notice of the commission
of the crime, and unfortunate a second
time in not having the report of Walker’s
appearance at the Von Lamps reported
to him until several hours after he had
disappeared.
KILLED BY A PUSHER.
Eva Taylor Run Over and Horribly
Mangled by a Central Train.
Eva Taylor, a negro woman about 45
years of age, was struck and instantly
killed by a pusher in the Central railroad
yards yesterday morning about 7 o'clock.
There is a lot of loose wood and old cross
ties on the line leading from the Central
yards over to the wharves, and the
negroes in that locality have been allowed
to go there and cart it off. Kva Taylor
was on this track yesterday morning
with her son and husband (Fathering this
wood, and they were carrying it across
the line of the main stem of the Central,
where they were putting it into a cart to
carry it to their home on Farm street.
They had been workine for some time,
and passeuger No. 3 from Atlanta had
passed and gortc into the shed.
A short while after Eva crossed the
side track with an arm full of wood which
she was carrying to the cart, and began
walking with-it up the main line. About
that time a pusher running backward
came out of the yards. The woman was
walking west, with her back to tho en
gine. As the engine crossed the bridge
Engineer Harvey gave the customary
signal of three loud whistles, but the
woman seemed to pay no attention to it.
As he approached her lie noticed that sho
was on the track and began to blow his
whistle, and at the same time to reverse
his engine.
It seems she was unaware that the en
gine was on that track until it was right
on her, and hearing the whistle she
turned And was struck at the same time.
She was run over by tho trucks of the
pusher and mangled horribly, hor body
being almost torn all to pieces. When
taken up by the order of the coroner and
•carried to her home on Farm street sho
was almost beyond recognition. Death
had been instantaneous.
Coroner Dixon summoned a jury’ and an
inquest was held at 3 o’clock. The evi
dence before the jury was substantially
as given above. The jury brought in a
verdict of accidental death, completely
absolving Engineer Harvey from aii
blame.

GAUGER BAKER IN TROUBLE.
He Says He is a Good Democrat and
His Friends Say He is Not.
Richard F. Baker, the recently-ap
pointed United States gauger, is having a
peck of trouble. He denies the charge
that he is a populist. His intimate
friends, with whom he has been most
closely identified, insist, however, that he
has been for the past year or more an ac
tive third party man, that he attended
their meetings, was a member of their
club, and although not a delegate to the
convention which nominated Kemp, that
he was an active spirit in the convention.
Mr. Baker says he attended the meet
ings of tho third party, not because he
was in sympathy with it, but because his
friends wore third partyites and he had
an interest in what was going on. He at
tended the Kemp convention in tho same
way. He says he was never a member of
the third party club, and has never voted
with tlie party. He acted as supervisor
of tho federal election for the party, ho
says, because there was $5 in it. and that
was all Ho voted the straight demo
cratic ticket. Mr. Baker says he did not
seek the office of gauger. The appoint
ment eamo to him unsolicited. There
was no applicant for the place. Ho was
asked if he would take it if it were of

ALONG THE RIVER FRONT.
Items Gathered Here and There
Among the Shipping.
The Spanish steamship Miguel M. Pin
illos. Captain Andraca, was cleared yes
terday for Barcelona and Genoa by Es
teve & Cos. Her cargo consists of 4,500
bales of upland cotton, valued at if 180,186
for Barcelona and 2,560 barrels of rosin,
valued at $4,025 and 2,800 bales of cotton,
valued at slll,Bßl, for Genoa.
A survey was held yesterday on board
the Italian bark Manannina. which re
turned a few days ago, leaking eight or
ten inches every hour. The survey was
appointed by Cap. L. Trapaqi, the Ital
ian vice consul, and consisted of Port
Warden Wiggins, Cnpt. Cafiero, ifiuster of
the Italian bark Ciampa Emilia and Capt.
G. Trapani, master of tho Italian bark
Elvira. The surveyors decided that a
part or the whole of her cargo of rosin
and spirits turpentine rhustbe discharged
to ascertain the extent of damage.
A survey has been held on the Nor
wegian bark Loyal, which is lying 350
feet at low water, from the river in tho
marsh at quarantine station, where she
was blown during the storm of Aug. 27.
Tho tide flows within fifteen or twenty
feet of her when it is high. The survey
ing party decided to advertise for bids to
float the vessel, and if the expense of
moving her is not too great the contract
will bo given out. If the cost will be more
than the worth of the ves
sel, she will be sold at public auction
where she lies.
The British steamer Azalea, Captain
Halton, arrived at Tybee, from New
York, on Monday to await orders. She
probably put to sea during the storm.
Tho schooner Martio A. Holmes, sailed
Monday for Baltimore, and is supposed to
have reached Cape Lookout yesterday.
