The Arsenal hall was temporarily converted
into a Skating Rink filled last
? Friday evening to witness a tournament
for a prize to be presented^ to the most
popular lady skater.
The amusement was indulged in by
lerTne of -onr heavy business men to whom
it was frequently a descent from grave to
s pay from lively 'to st vorc. No harm was
v_^*~Tlohc, although Miss Eliza Harms having
received a majority of votes was pronounced
the most popular skater, was presented
with a pair of priza skates. Mr
Lockwood made the presentation in a neat
and appropriate speech.

good news to the lumber men on the line

seventy-fire wide, to extend out in the
river so as to give twinty two feet of
water at low tide at the wharf.
I This in addition to what they already

FIRE MATTERS.
i
Firk.?Last Saturday noon our town
was startled by an alarm of flrc caused by j
the burning of the roof of tho old llabersham
house at the upper cncl of Bay St. Q
which originated as is supposed by sparks c
from the chimney. Hie new steamer s
was the first out bat by some mistake was
carried to Wiers pond where the com pa-1 {
ny found themselves without sufficient;
hose to reach the fire. While they were
talking about sending tor more the Union
No. 1, went to the fire, took water from t
the well oa the same lot and put it outThe
damage to the bail ding was small* j
amounting to two or three holes in the j
roof. This is the third time this haus*
has been on tire.
Tbo Washington having steam up play- (
ed off a few minutes to try tin engine ,
and give their engineor prnctice. The f
natch wan applied <m Leaving their {
house and oa reaching the corner by the (
Rhett house she had 2? lbs. of stcnm? ,
which is sufficient to work* her. j
Finn Aoain,?Sunday noon tl?c roaf o
he l*rh fin on tin c ?r.ior of Crove
and East streets was di?covcned to be on
fire. This time the Union No. 1, was the
first on the ground and took water from
the well on Craven Btrcet.
On the arrival of the Washington they
found the tide so low the; could no '
take water from the river so they did
uot get up steam at all hut stood looking
on whilo the other company pat out th
fire. No damage beyond a few shinglo 1
burned.
At the insp->ction and trial of our fire
department last spring a large quantit y I
of the hose wns found to be so rotten as i
to be unserviceable. Wc think we know I
the cause. After the fire Inst Sunday we i
saw ono of the companies petting away
their hose wet and dirty just as it mmc
from the Ore. Such carelessness as this
ia what causes the rotting and decay that
ao soon renders it unfit for use. An in- .
clined platform should be erected by the
own authorities, in some suitable place t
to be used for spreading and drying hose
and then the companies should not b f
allowed to leave any hoso after its use
until after thoroughly'drying and clean- ^
ing it. Hose are an expensive item and a
little attention in this direction may save
tlic town many dollars. ,
We learn that the New York IToan Co.
are to have fh?e hundred feet of the
rubber hose and work in connection with *
the Washington No. 2. This will provide
the steamer with a thousand feet of hose a
at all times.
TTic market Veil is entirely too small ^
ilor a fire alArni and our town authorities
9hould make somo hotter arrangement, t
The members of the Fire Depnrtment
should remember that it is easy for them
to aid very much in spreading the alarm a
by crying out while running to ti?o en
gine house. Several parties Hving on j
Ray street did not hear any alarm Sun
day and knew nothing of "the fire until
after it was all over. *I)oa't forget to *
holler f 11
The town council arc making arrange- 8
mcnts to build an engine house on Bay
street for the new steamer. They should t
either build or rent at once as it is im- I
possible to keep the engine in order
where she now stands.

Whilst the growing prosperity of j
Lugusta is intimately connected in the
uccessful establishment of the Port
toyal Exit their mutual dependencies
ihould not be circumscribed by a Felfish
>nd narrow policy in the interest of any
nonopoly. We regret if such is the case
ts there can be no well assured permanincy
to tho development of a grand
mterprise if individual aggrandizement
md not the general welfare is consulted
ind subserved. Any coalition will
trove disastrous, both to Augusta and
o Poft ltoyal if a goncrous ami couitrehcusivc
policy is not pursued in the
.rusts which the administration of a
[tailroad company's atTairs imposes.
The Port Koyul Railroad was built
tnd constructed by northern capitalists
af liberal and enlarged views as one element
of a scheme for building up a great
JI- -a. i. -1 ?
.niuwi/iu uuu,|jiu[t iur uirvct irauu uuu
brelga commerce, that could not hs eu.ertaincd
by any other port on the south
Atlantic coast, the, remunerative return*
;rom the outlay on which wcro cxpeaked
o be derived from the mutual boncfits;hat
would redound to the prosperity of
he interior by^an increase of its commer;ial
facilities. Though an individual
snterprise its benefits should be made to
tocrue to the State and to its incomparable
port. Nothing but a small pettifogging
policy in itsikmanagement can con
travene so desirable a result and its
manifest destiny. A wise forecast could
make Augusta as she is entitled to be the
Ejate city for tho immense western trnde
that must flow through her and that
looks to Port Royal for its destination.
Intimately blended are the interests of
the two cities in each others prosperity
ind no inividious discriminations should
be conceived to militate against the advancement
of cither.
