Caned.
At the last meeting of the Georgia State
Band, the members completely surprised
their director, Mr. Edward Hopkins, by pre
senting him with an elegant chased, gold
headed eane, neatly inscribed with pleasant
wishes fora merry Christmas. It was a gen
uine surprise to the recipient, but one highly
appreciated. It was a deserved compliment
gracefully given.
George and the Hatchet.
Among the assignments on the criminal
docket of the City Court to-morrow is that of
George Washington, charged with stealing a
liatche . Heretofore the supposition has been
that George Washington came by his hatclu t
in an honorable, straight-forward manner,
but the evidence In the Police Court was
against such a conclusion, and George will
probably tell the truth about It to-morrow.
Police Dots,
Jim Nolan, a white man, was arrested on
the complaint of a negro boy and placed In

had stolen some oranges from him.

o’clock last night.
Brisk Business nt the Express Office.
During the 23d, 24th and 25th, the Southern
Express Company’ force were as busy as
they could be, and it took the best efforts of
the entire corps to keep ahead of the im
mense rush of work. Now all is quiet again
and the boys are taking a slight rest. Mana
ger Cooper says it Is the heaviest Christmas
move of goods he has ever had the handling
of since he has been in charge of the Savan
nah office.

How He Paid Il s Fine.
Last Friday night there was placed in the
barracks a young man on the charge of drunk
and disorderly conduct, who had just pur
chased a new suit of clothes. To save his coat
from soiling this young man took it off and
hung it up on a nail near the cell door and
went to sleep. During the night one of the
many tramps who seek lodging here and are
allowed to sleep in the corridor found that
he could reach the coat, and appropriated it
to his own use. In the morning, there being
n'o charge against the tramp, who had only
sought a night s lodging, he was released and
quickly disappeared. At the proper time the
young man was brought into the Police
Court, where he made known to the Mayor
his loss. “What did the suit cost you?”
“Twenty-five dollars, your honor, and the
coat was worth allot $10.” “All right; your
fine would be $lO, but as you have loU the
coat you may go.” And that’s the way he
paid his fine.”
A Riding I’ar y.
Riding parties are becoming quite the rage
among the young people, and the exhilarating
and healthy exercise is greatly enjoyed. Ou
Friday last a party, composed of fourteen
young gentlemen and young ladies, left the
city, under the chaperoning of a queenly ma
tron, for a ride out to White Bluff. The can
ter over the smooth road was keenly enjoyed,
and on reaching their destination the party
dismounted and dinner was ordered at the
Vernon House. In the interim the party
strolled through the woods gathering the
beautiful autumn-tinted leaves and mosses,
and returned to the hotel with keen appetite
for dinner. Afterward an hour or so was
spent in the pleasures of the mazy waltz, and
the steeds were brought forth and off for home
started the merry party, their joyous laugh
ter being heard above the clatter of their
horses' feet over the -shells.7 The city was
reached in the early evening, and the day was
voted one of the pleasantest in their experi
ence.
The Oglethorpe Club Room-.
In the past few days the Oglethorpe Club
have had several improvements made in
their already cosy and comfortable quarters.
The rooms are arranged, one for pool and
billiards, in which there are four tables; a
cloak room, refreshment room, smoking
room, card room and library. The three lat
ter are elegantly furnished and carpeted, and
the library supplied with all the leading pa
pers of the country as well as the finest
monthly periodicals. These rooms have re
cently been fitted up with new curtains and
a dozen of the finest and most select steel en
gravings, which they secured through Mr. O.
P. Havens. The engravings represent studies
from the masters in statuary, landscape scen
ery and one or two dogs from tjie best hands.
They are elegantly framed and mounted and
disposed on easels and upon the walls in such
a manner as to lend quite an artistic air to the
beautifully painted walls.
The Engagement of Miss Morris.
This celebrated emotional actress closed
her brief engagement in this city last even
ing by the presentation of “Miss Multon,”
one of the greatest dramas of the emotional
school. Her first appearance here Friday
night was as “Cora,” in “L’Article 47,” and
the contrast with “Miss Multon” was most
marked. Miss Morris is undoubtedly at the
head of her profession in the emotional line,
and is a woman of rare and wonderful genius.
Her conception and rendition of the charac
ter of “Cora” was realistic to an impressive
degree. In the last scene of the closing act her
wonderful talent was developed prominently
and the feigned madness electrified the in
tensely interested audience. Her support
was excellent. The leading man, Frederick
Bryton, is an accomplished, finished actor,
and the remain ler of the company was fully
up the requirements. As “Miss Multon,”
Miss Morris is called upon to repress the in
tensity of her emotion under the most trying
ordeals, until the finale, when pent up na
ture c«n no longer be controlled and bursts
its bonds. It was an admirable performance
and was keenly enjoyed. On both nights
Savannah favored Miss Morris with iin<*
audiences, and many were seen in the dress
circle and parquette who rarely visit the
Theatre.
In the afternoon the thrilling drama of
“The Galley Slave” was presented to aline
audience, the entire company , with the ex
ception of Miss Morris, appearing. The play
was given in splendid style.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Old Phoenix Iron W rks In Flames—
Lonses Nearly S 15,000.
Last Friday night, at 11:80 o’clock, an alarm f
of fire was sounded by Officer Kelley from ]
box No. 16, at the corner of East and South
Broad streets. The cause of the alarm was
the discovery of a volume of flame issuing ,
from the old Phoenix Iron Works, on the cor- 1
ner of Randolph and Broughton streets,and re- ,
cently purchased by Wm. Kehoe A Co., iron
founders. A circuit of the entire buildings -
had been made by Wm. Hart, the night ‘
watchman, only fifteen minutes before, and j
lie saw not even a spark. Patrolman Kelley ]
was quite a distance from the fire and also i
from the alarm box when lie first discovered
the flames, which shot up with the sudden- _
ness of an explosion, but made his way to the
box as rapidly as possible, and turned on the j
alarm. The alarm bell of the foundry was i
also sounded as soon as the watchman made j
the discovery. The cause of the fire is un-
• known, but the presumption is that some
drunken pedestrian set the fire off with a
cigar stub or fireworks. The wind was high,
and in a direction favorable to a large confia-
. ' gration, and the wooden buildings being dry; '
the old foundry, a one-story building, 59xltX)
feet in size, on Broughton and Randolph '
streets, was almost consumed by the fiery ele
ment before the department could
get out, although they answered
the call with their usual promptness. The
department lost not a moment of time, and
went to work like good fellows striving to '
check the flames, which leaped forward eager
to extend their sway toall the adjacent build- 1
ings. In an hour’s time the flames had not
only been checked, but were under complete 1
' control, but not for several hours did the de
partment desist from their work.
In looking over the devastated ground yes- <
terday a Times reporter saw that a space 90x ■
100 feet on Broughton and Randolph 1
streets, and a space 30x90 feet back of
■ Broughton street had been completely
swept. Summing up the losses Mr. Wm. Ke
hoe stated that the old foundry in which the 1
flames were first discovered, together with ■
its contents, consisting of wooden and iron
flasks, lumber, engines, etc., was worth $4,000.
i The fitting shop, a two-story building, 40x90 .
r feet on Broughton street ,containing eastings, ,
machinery, tools, etc., worth $3,500. The two
‘ story pattern shops, containing all the pat
terns of the foundry, worth $3,000, and a
small building used as a blacksmith
shop, W’»ith $250. This makes the
! loss of William Kehoe & Co. foot
up to $10,7'0, on which there was not one dol
lar of insurance. In addition to this there
was stored in the buildings $-500 worth of
goods in the custody of Major JordanF.Brooks,
receiver of the firm of M. M. Heller & Co., re
cently assigned, and $1,500 worth of cotton
screws, trucks, etc., owned by Patrick,
’ brother, of Mr. William Kehoe, none of
which was insured. Mrs. J. P. Jerguson,
1 who conducted one of the buildings as a black
; smith shop, suffered a loss of about. $2,000 in
tools, stock, etc; also uninsured. A couple
of tenements owned by Mrs. William
> Howe, and occupied by colored parties, were
’ also burned, causing a loss of S2,(XX). This
. maXes, altogether, a loss of $14,750, the great
. est sufferer being Kehoe & Co. Fortunately
the new foundry, a brick building, was saved,
together with the office, and the work of the
firin will be continued without interruption,
( I although under serious disadvantages.
IN MEHORIAM.
Death of One of Savannah’s Oldest Citi
zens.
Yesterday morning at 3:-30 o’clock the spirit
' of Mr. William H. May, one of the oldest citi
zens of Savannah, took its flight to another
■ world. The cause of his death was paralysis
of the heart, with which he had been threat
ened for some time. As soon as it was known
that he was ill a physician was despatched
for, but ere he arrived his services were un-
M necessary.
Mr. May came to Savannah about forty-
- three or forty-five years ago, and at the time
. of his death was 72 years of age. He began a
large saddlery and harness business in the
5 store now occupied by Wylly & Clarke, and
I up to the end of the war lived in the greatest
i comfort and elegance in the cottage at pres
ent owned by Mr. J. M. Williams, ou the cor
‘ ner of Liberty and Whitaker streets. There 1
' his wife died at. the beginning of the war. Up
; to the end of the war he had a large and val- '
' uable stock of goods in his store, but the '
’ entire property was taken possession of by ,
’ Sherman's army at the fall of Savannah, and
- be was left a poor man, from which condition
! he has never since risen. He filed a
- claim for damages for the sum of S3O,-
• <X«) against the Government, and up to
the time of his death he was still waiting,
‘ waiting, and firmly believed that the claim
would be settled and he would be agar- in
’ comfortable circumstances. Those who knew
; him well—and there were many such in
Savannah—all agree that no cleverer or more
genial man lived when he was in affluence, ,
and when the grimness of poverty made it
, self felt his pride prevented his friends from
helping him. He was unable to take more
> than three or four steps at a time for some
i weeks before his death, and about ten days
ago became weak and fell down a flight of
stairs. Then his friends tried topersu de him
■ either to go to the hospital or to go home to
- his niece in Bridgeport, Conn., whence he
- came originally; but, although she had sent
, him amine means to make the trip in com-
■ fort and extended him the promise of a good
• home to end his declining years, he persisted
in remaing here until the inauguration of
■ President Cleveland, when he purposed going
, to Washington and thence to Bridgeport. He
is well connected in Bridgeport and had a
, fine business education. He has a brother,
L Mr. Charles May, living in Alabama.
THE SAVANNAH RIVER.
> Extensive Prepa ations for the Dredging
The importance of the proper dredging of
the Savannah river is so great to this com
, inunity that anything relating thereto will
t be of great interest. A representative of the
Daily Times learns from the agent of the
J firm of Messrs. Ross & Sanford, who have
L secured the contract to dredge the river, that
, they are making extensive preparations to
’ do the work With dispatch. They will
! have large and powerful dredge
boats with the very latest machinery.
The firm have ample facilities fordoing the
1 work, and from their reputation and experi-
■ once it may be safely asserted that it will be
1 well and efficiently done. The contract for
■ building the dredgeboats has been given a
■ Savannah firm, and a large force oi
’ men is employed in their construction
■ at the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway wharves, and they will be ready for
1 launching in a short while. There has been
1 some little unavoidable delay in starting the
‘ work, but when it is commenced it will be
pushed forward with the vigor that has
characterized the operations of the firm
elsewhere. They wi'd complete their present
[ contract, we are assured, with credit to them
sel * es and to the benefit of our growing com
’ merce.

most skilled physician—for tha human body

the question then : ‘ What physician shall
be employed?”
