I- FIRE ABOARD.
A Smoking Hot Freight Train
Comes Rushing
5 ' ... ..
‘ A Loaded With Cotton Ablaze.
, pllfft Time Made After It Was
j Discovered—The Fire De-
partment's Response.
5
Freight No. 37, on the Brunswick
and Western railroad, loaded with
•
e cotton, lumber and rosin, came fly-
- ing in about 7:30 this morning at an
I unusually high rate of speed. Police-
* man Thompson,who was doing special
duty in the vicinity of the depot, ob
served smoke coining from one of the
. box cars in large volumes. He im
mediately turned on an alarm from
box 16, and by the time the burning
I car was speedily cut loose from the
train, the lire department was on the
ground.
The car, which was loaded with
cotton, was immediately forced open,
and the wheels had hardly ceased
revolving when a stream of water
- was playing on the contents. In the
meantime a force of yard hands
tackled the freight, and bales began
to drop out at a lively rate. The lo-
’ cation of the fire, which was in the
rear end of the car, was soon gotten
at and the burning cotton promptly
wet down.
The fire was first discovered by a
brakeman at the five-mile crossing.
. Conductor Pollen took in the situa
tion at a glance, and Engineer Jim
Savage pulled the throttle wide open.
The run was made in ten minutes, as
, there was a decided disposition on
the part of the train crew to get the
car cut away from the highly com
bustible material in the adjoining
one. The fire was getting briskly
under way at the time it was discov
ered, as the motion of the train cre-
• ated a strong draught, which readily
acted on the ventilators. Seven
’ bales were considerably scorched
and blackened, but the damage is
only slight. The cotton was con-
S'gned from Albany, to Coles, Sim
kins & Co.
There was quite a commotion cre
ated around the yards, among the
, railroad men particularly, and they
were loud in their praises of the “get
, there” time made by the firemen.
, The steamer made a good second
after the hose reel but the former
was adequate for the emergency.

Park Visitors.
As The Post reporter was passing
through Hanover park this morning,
he was acosted by Mr. Wilson the
park manager. Mr. Wilson asked:
“How many people pass through the
park daily? The reporter had no
idea of the number of visitors and
Mr. Wilson continued: “Well 1
came in the park yesterday morning
ut 0 o’clock with a determination to
count every one who camfi through
the park gates.
In the first thirty minutes one hun
dred and seventeen people passed
through. In the next halt an hour

A FREE-FOR-ALL MAIN.
Monk Street Commission Merchants
Make the Feathers Fly.
There was an impromptu series 01
battles this morning between thi
game cocks of F. 11. Jeffries am
Jones Capers. These enterprising,
dealers do not rank rts breeders 01
handlers of the pugnacious birds
They happen to have them thrown it
on their poultry consignments bj
country shippers. As a matter o
course, the gamesters are in most
instances the worse for age and war
but a few days’ good feeding (level
ops their natural instincts.
This morning, things being some
what dull, as Fridays are apt to be
the clerks, to liven things up, hit ot
the clever scheme of testing the oh
stagers’ qualities. The terms wen
three out of five for the champion
ship of the square. Four battlei
had been fought with honors even
when a roving canine came along anc
sniffed excitement in the air.
There was by this time a cowd
nearly equal to the one at the fire on
the freight ear. The dog made a break
for the roosters, and secured a mouth
ful of feathers out of a big dominick.
The other bird next attracted the
new referee's attention, and a lively
chase began. The rooster circled
around the street corner a few times,
and ran into the Merchants and
Trailers’ bank with the enemy in full
chase.
Both fowls were secured, and the
main abruptly ended. Arrangements
will be made for its continuation at
an early day. Time and place will
be duly announced.
The Toothsome Cane.
The scarcity of fruit at this season
calls for an appropriate substi tutc
There is now a fresh supply of juicy
cane in town in all its original crude
ness, saccharine glory, from the fam
ed home of the plant in Cuba. - Joe
Hall of the Cal'fornia restaurant was
on his accustomed perch in the tai
lor’s window yesterday, engaged in
testing the merits of the recent im
portation. From the pile of debris
from which thejuice had been extri
cated by his securely anchored grin
ders, it is evident that he thought
pretty well of giving the article a
place on his bill of fare.

, e A. C. Phillips and F. L. Plater
_ were the gay and festive sports, and
, s they were like Damon anil Pythias
B until a woman’s perfidy and Plater’s
( l cupidity resulted in Phillips waking
up the other morning to find himself
( l in the soup of despondency and
n gloom. The cold hards of the situa
k tion hit him like an icewater shower
( bath. Plater had llown with his
enamorata, and, agony of agonies; his
e entire wardrobe, consisting of
y dainty silk underwear, purple and
j line linen, set off with gorgeous gar
-3 ments fashionably cut :.nd artistic
() ally shaped, had also vanished like a
U beautiful dream. His gold watch
and chain, high-priced pistol and
e other articles of bric-a-brac, so dear
g to the average blood’s heart, had
t also vanished into thin air.
J As soon as he could gather his
wits together Phillips set out to fol
low up his fleeing but false friends.
To cover up their tracks, they’ gave
it out that they were going to Ala
bama, but inquiry at the post-office
■ disclosed the iact that their iflail
was ordered forwarded to Brunswick.
Phillips lost not a moment but
boarded the first train this way and
on arrival made a break for polite
headquarters. Officer Thompson
was detailod to work up the case and
i 1
the culprit was located at the corner
s
of Bay and Gloucester streets. He
made a grand.dash up Bay street at
‘ sight of his old partner and the stal
it ~
wart policeman but was soon nabbed.
It was an amusing sight to hear
Plater plead for himself. There he
was inside his friend's coat, trowsers,
neck tie and so on through the entire
’• category of raiment. Phillips was
so overjoyed at the lucky denou
- meat that he did not prefer a charge,
s but gleefully proceeded to take pos
d session of his personal effects. The
fair but frail promoter of the esca
-1 pade known as Lilly Jenkins was
>f domiciled on Newcastle street. When
t she saw the tables turned, Plater
h was soon convinced that he had no
5 lurther claim on her effections.
Phillips returned home with his
earthly possessions this morning,
t It was during his absence looking up
i a missing package containing $l5O
Is in gold that the job was put up. He
also recovered the missing money
e before leaving Savannah.
