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. The Senatorial Convention. The Democratic Senatorial Con-. ■ vention for the fourth district met at the Glynn county court house I yesterday to nominate 1. can | didate for state senator Col. James Postell was elected chairman ana Mr. S. C. Atkinson, secretary. Hon. Thomas W. Lamb was the | only candidate before the convention I and was unanimously elected as the democratic senatorial standard ’ bearer. New Fall hats and the popular Nelly Bly caps at Miss Shearer's.

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 one hundred ntpl foil} fhehul pn.a cd through *. then f-uve up 1 lie task S as a tough job.

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.

I.T. and J, M Kiyn TWO HONEYS :s 11 From Savannah Come to Grief in This City Last Night. d e )r A Gay Loth-rio Skips out With his Roommate’s Wardrobe, Gold Watch, Pistol and Grip. He Comes to Grief. y >f t Two of the gilded youth of Savan r nah, heretofore roommates and bosom fiends, dissolved partnership in Brunswick last night. Hereafter 3 they will not smoke cigarettes out of L> the same package ond pose as bloods n for the edification of susceptible but (I gl’Rly maidens on Tybee's sands. , 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. 0 Fancy New rice at I. T- knd J. M? Keen’s. it s Finest French prunes in tins and ? glass jars at I. T. and J. M.
