A new locomotive that promises good
results in economy is undergoing trial on
the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t is known
as the Coventry engine, named after the
inventor, a Chicago man. OutwardIy,
except that the smokestack is close 10 the
cab, there is nothing to distinguish 1t
from common locomotive. The novelty
is in the boiler, which has a return flue,
thus doubling the length of the tube, and
considerably more than doubling the time
Of the retention of the heated gases within
the boiler.
AS the heat in the return flue has been
frequently tested at between ] 100 and
1920 degrees, the inventor claims that il
is better TO utilize IL than TO let IL escape
like rife shot from a straight tube. He
claims also that the length of the tube
insures the consumption of much gas and
smoke that must otherwise escape, and
that cinders are precipltated by gravity,
80 that not only is provision made by the
invention for the maximum Of steam, but
for the minimum of dirt 1t is a bitumin-
Gus coal engine.
Mr.. Coventry says that the engine can
be run at saving Of at least 10 per cent.
under other engines OF its kind, and is
cleaner than any other bituminOus coal
engine can possibly be. He hopes to have
the boiler adopted in new engines that
the roads may build, both for freight and
passenger service. Bituminous coal is
used on the Pennsylvania line. The rail-
road officials say that there is no likeli-
hood OF a change in this respect, although
they admit that the engine is cleaner than
any others that use bituminous coal. The
claim Of economy will be fully tested
within the coming fortnight. The engine
acted very well on trip to Philadelphia.

All the railways In Japan are built, or
are being built, on the narrow guage, 3
feet inches, with the exception Of a small
local line between Osaca and Saka, which
is being built by private company, with
a guage Of only feet inches. the cost
of the lines, particularly the earlier ones,
appears much too high, the Toxic and Yo-
k0hama section, for instance, having cost
upwards OF E34 600 per mile, very heavy
outlay, particularly in a country where
there have been no preliminary parlia-
mentary expenses, and where the COM
pensation given for land must have been
very small. SO Tar the railways have been
used rather for passengers than goods
traffic, but railway travelling appears
to be popular with the natives, and
Notwithstanding the nOn-develop-
ment of the goods traffic and the abnOr-
mallY high cost of construction, the gross
receipts on the Toxic and Yokohama sec
ton last year were equivalent to II per
cent. on the capital outlay. With the eX-
ception of the Yokohama and Toxic sec
ton, all the railways are single lines.
Part Of the ironwork, such as Orders,
has been made in Japan, but until quite
recently, when an order for locomotives
was given in Germany, the rails and roll
ing materials have been obtained in this
country. Latterly much of the surveying
work has been done by natives trained in
the Toxic engineering college, and all the
employees of the Japan Railway Company
are natives. There has been only one Sc
riOus accident, in 1877, when a collision
occurred between an ordinary and spe-
cial train on the HlOgO, Osaca and kiotO
line; and willful damage to railway prop.
erty is almost unknown in the country.

AT TIRE THEATRE.
'Zozo, the Magic Queen" Before a Fine
Audience Last Night.

"ZOz0, the Magic Queen" Before a Fine
Audience Last Night.
Old theatre-goers pronounced "Zozo,"
which was presented at the theatre last
night, one of the most novel and attract
i've productions ever seen in Savannah.
1t is certainly second to none in Scenic
effects, The coloring would not compare
uniayorably with a rainbow at close
range. In fact, it is doubtful whether an
arch above the horizon would not
look dim beside the rich and gor-
ge0us hues that shift from one
10 the other with fascinating rapidltY
through the whole prismatlc gRmuf.
Manager Frank claims that the audience
gets the worth Of It's money in the trans
formation scene alone, and most surely 1t
is a grand spectacle. which everyone see
ing cannot fail TO admire. The piece over
flows with fun, and an audience seldom
laughs hearter than when witnessing
Zozo." The play hardly pretends to
have a plot, but the attracuyeness ia not
dependent upon that generally necessary
feature.
In one important particular "Zozo"
differs from the old style Of spectacular
there IS no dancing ballet. The piece is
clean and bright In the lines, and while
tue graceful movements or the Queens
pretty subjects are not concealed or EN-
barrassed by surplus drapery, any one
who does not object to the chorus cOstum-
ing in "Olivette," and similar pieces,
could not draw the line on 1.-The Magic
Queen"
Miss Adelaide Cherie in the title role of
"Zozo,o is a most charming and queen
Unlocking sovereign of fairy realm.
Miss Toma HanlOn is another very pref
ty lady, who sings sweetly, with a clear,
strong voice. She responded to an encore
with "S'wanee river"
Miss Florence J. Bindley is a bright
soubrette and an unusually clever per-
former on the musical glasses and other
speclaltes.
Miss Leo Coles dances well, and with
much grace.
Miss Marie Dantes, as the fairy ''Dah-
lia," looked as pretty as she was inquisi-
tive.
Mr.. George II. Adams makes the fun of

He kept the audience laughing the whole

telegram dated, Smithville, Ca, signed
b. W. Bellamy. The dispatch asked that
a New York check for 81, 100 be forwarded
to him at once. Bellamy having done
business with the firm for years they
promptly responded. 1t happened that
the same day Col. j. B. Creech, OF
Quitman, called at the firms otice
on the Bay. Col Creech, who is the agent
for the house at Quitman, was shown the
telegram. He doubted tne genuineness OF
the dispatch. and upon investigation
learned that Mr.. Bellamy was at his home,
about Is miles from Quitman, and that
the telegram was not genuine.
Information to this effect was wired to
TIson & Co., and they In turn instructed
the Postmaster at SmIthville to return the
letter 10 them. which was promptly done.
Who signed the telegram Is a mystery,
and as the irm declined yesterday TO give
any information about the matter, it is
presumed that no very definite clue has
yet been obtained.

Ike Davis and the Alligator.

from me Fdtd0StG lGd.l Times.
Col. l. n. Davis, Of Clyattville, is a
good shot. and a gentleman who enjoys
the fine sport afforded by the rod and gun.
Like all other spOrtsmen he has had his
experiences. and he tells with a relish
and good effect Of his narrow escapes, big
hauls, etc. Once he was shooting green
heads on the 'Coochee and had had good
luck, but he wanted more, and he decided
that he would hunt on down as far as the
big bend in the hope of finding other ducks.
He was not disappointed. They were
huddled together just on the rivers edge
and he was near enough. A well directed
aim laid four OF the beauties low. Drop
ping his gun he rushed up to make sure
OF his game before the eddy whirled them
out OF reach and into the swift current.
He caught hold of a bush and bent far
over with out-stretched arm to reach the
tarthest duck, and just as be was in the
act Of selling it, a huge alligator struck
from the depths beneath like a jack-fish,
carrying away the duck and part of the
skin on the tips Of Ike's fingers.

after which DR.. Munhall spoke for a few
moments, urging Gods people TO enter
into the work of saving souls, He had

he said, seen SO deep a religious interest
shown in opening any service as here in
Savannah. Sunday nights congregation
was larger than he expected, and last
nights was the largest Monday congrega-

After the solo, "Cnrist Receiveth Sinful

him.
In closing he announced the services
