the city. A Hand-ome Fountain. Dr. George H. Stone has had Ids front yard elegantly fitted up and a beauttftil clear-water fountain placed in the centre by Mr. John Daly, th» landscape gardener. Attached to the fountain is a beautiful cascade filter, from which his family Is supplied with the ciearets purest of water, the place shows the handiwork of a skilled artist. 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 the barracks. The boy claimed that Nolan had stolen some oranges from him. Gus Jones was arrested on the charge of stealing!® 30 from Julia Johnson. Henry Hurt was incarcerated on the charge of stealing wood from Cavanaugh's wood yard. Three men, on the charge of drunkenness, were also placed in durance vile up to twelve 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. Preparing for the Election. The managers appointed by the County Commissioners to superintend the election < of county officers on the 7th of the coming month, are expected to be on hand at the office of Magistrate M. Frank Molina on ' Tuesday at 12 o’clock. All those who do not appear on that day will be considered as not wishing to serve and their places will be filled. The clerks arc not required to be pres ent, but they will notify him of their intt-n --1 on to serve before that date, or their places will be filled. Superior Court Court convened yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, Judge A. Pratt Adams presiding, and the following cases were disposed of : In re. the petition of Win. Vallers, for man damus, vs. Johns. Tyson, J. P. Argument heard and judgment of the court rendered dismissing the rule. A. T. Smythe, executor, etc., vs. Louisa C. Banks. Inequity. Remitter of the Supreme Court filed and order granted making the same the judgment of this court. All members of the bar will find the assign ments for the month of January published in this issue of the Times. The motion and certiorari dockets will be called Tuesday morning. 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. THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1884. 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.
