The Savannah News, the opposition of
which to Greeley has been such comfort to
the GRANTEES, goes back on them ln this fash
ion: ssThe Macon Telegraph quotes from For
ney's Press of the l7th instant paragraph
attributlng to the News statement that Grant
will beat Greeley twenty thousand in this
State. The statement aforesaid was incorpo-
rated In an article written some weeks be-
fore the nomination of Greeley at Baltimore,

1t is stated that Italy and Germany have

stroke. The tank is filed with about three
hundred gallons of water. This water is heat
ed at the depot in stationary boiler and dis
charged Into the tank at the beginning Of each
trip. In this manner enough steam is pro-
ylded to propel the car nine miles, and have
surplus of power left at the end of the trip.
One man performs the duties OF engineer,
brakeman and conductor. There is no escape
of steam, nor any noise beyond that ordinarily
caused in running a passenger car; and trial

motor to be not only practicable, but much
cheaper than horse power. The actual run

bullion In Europe from one financial centre to
another, the effect of which is likely to be felt
