Savannah, Feb. 5.—Fire broke out in
the Savannah Grocery Go’s, building
on Bay street this morning and has been
raging ever since. The Savannah Gro

A fireman was killed by falling from
the engine while in motion.
The fire department is on Ihe grouuds
and is doing all it can to stop the con
flagration. A strong wind has been
blowing and the Exchange building is in
danger.
The above is all the authentic infor
mation the Herald can get trom the
wires up to the hour of going to press.
It is quite certain that the fire is one of
the worst disasters in the history of Sa

haveing already reached the probable
neighborhood of £75,000. Mr. C. C.

late this afternoon. The Republicans,
however, refused to vote and called no
quorum. As but 160 Democratic mem
bers were present—not a quorum—the
house could take no action. These 160
polled for the McCreary resolution. An
order was passed revoking all leaves of
absence and the house then adjoured. It
is presumed that a quorum of Demo
crats will appear to-morrow. Telegrams
have hcen sent to all sections of the
country calling on absent members to
return.
During the debate to-day, Mr. Turner,
of Georgia, delivered one of the strong
est speeches which has yet been heard
the Hawaiian question. His speech
was principally a defense or explanation
of Mr. Blount’s position. He defended
the Georgian from the assaults which
have been made upon him by Republi
cans. He paid a high tribute to the
ability and integrity of Mr. Blount, de
fended the President and in closing his
remarks said that in his heart he ap
plauded and commended the magnani
mous course of the President. Mr. Tur
ner’s w$s a strong speech. His man
ner showed that he was honest in his
every word.

Henry W. Grady is the author of

poor man. They buried him in the
midst of a marble quarry; they cut
through solid marble to make his

they put above him was from Ver

of a pine forest, and yet the pine
coffin was imported from Cincinnati.
They buried him within touch of an

Brute Force t$. Heart and Brain.
Is it true that the cultivation of mus
cle to the neglect of brain and heart in
this country, is putting tlfe animal man
above the gentleman? Indeed the signs
of the times would seem to indicate that
such is the case with thousands of our
people. Corbett, the slugger, is to-day
the most notorious and highly applauded
man in- the nation There are thou
sands who cannot tell you on which side
of the tariff question Hon.H.G.Turner re
cently made his great speech in Congress,
who have Corbetts full history at their
tongues end, and are ready to sound his
praises on all occasions. This placing of
physical prowess above mental attributes
and moral character by so large a num
ber of our citizenship, should alarm the
Christian world and cause them to open
their eyes. Even the boys of twelve
summers have caught the fever and be
hind etajr out building you find them
playing Corbett and Mitchell. The
young men who wear the highest honors
in our great colleges arc those who can
kick the hardest in a game of foot ball
or row the strongest in a boat race.
Is it not time to call a halt and
ask, ‘‘Where are we at” and whither
are we tending. It is right and proper
that yoiing men should have out door
spoits and exercise |hat will tend to
strengthen the body and develop the
muscles. Proper phisical culture is ne
cessary and has its good results in pro
ducing health, but when the devotion
to athletic exercise reaches a point where
everything else must be subservient, that
the man who would cultivate his soul and
his intellect must take a back seat in
the presence of a Goliah who has not
either brain or character, then it is time
for the Christian and moral world to
make determined and presistent war
upon the growing evil. A few more
decades such as the past has been, would
bring ,us back to the days of the Roman
gladiators. The pulpit and the moral
press have a duty to perform in prevent
ing the worship of brute force in this
s> cal led Christian land.

TURNER OX HAWAII.
Washington, Feb. 6.—When the dis
cussion on the Hawaiian matter closed
this afternoon and a vote was called,
there was not a quorum. The majority
of the democrats stayed away, or else re
fused to vote. If there had been more
speakers like Judge Turner probably
there would have been no ueoessity for
issuing an order, as was done, revoking
all leaves of absence and demanding the
presence of those democrots in the city.
Judge Turner spoke this afternoon, and
made by far the strongest speech on the
democratic side of the House. He paid
the highest eulogy to Commissioner
Blount, and defended him from partisan
defamers. He declared in waimest
terms that President Cleveland was mag- I
namious and
During the last year the loss by
fire in the United States in property
value was almost $150,000,000, a
greater loss than has been recorded
in auy one year, except that in which
Chicago was burned and that in
which the best part of Boston was
blotted out. Boston lost more last
year than any other city, the esti
mate being $5,300,000.
'cross?; and asked leave of the negro sec
tion hands to enter a shanty to keep out
of the rain. The negroes not only re
fused to allow them to go in, but drove
them away and when they had gone
some distance down the track one of the
negroes fired at them with a pistol strik
ing Kraft in the hip. They managed
during the next two days to reach Way- j
cross, where they were taken care of by i
some of our young men and placed in a
room in the Cannon building, near the
livery stable. Kraft is seriously injured
and it wifi be some days before lie can
walk. It seems that the men were not
common tramps, as one of them had a
letter of recommendation to Postmaster
McNeil. Up to this time the wounded
man has been taken care of by some of
the young men and the ladies in that
portion of the city, but it is quite proba
ble he will need medical attention and
care for some tiijie to come and we do
not doubt that this notice will secure it
from our charitabl citizens. Further
information regarding the sick man can
be had from Charley Finn.
