Telegraphic Yarns.

From the Minneapolis Tribune,
people who have occasion to use the
wires frequently are sometimes greatly
amused, not to say mistifed. by the man
ner IN which messages are mutilated in
transmission said the telegrapher.
"A prominent commission merchant in
the city of Toledo, O., short time ago was
thunderstruck upon receiving a telegram
from a Chicago elevator company, which
read as follows:
'''Offer you two carloads minced cats
twenty-nne half
"A repetition of the dispatch made it
read thus:
"'Offer you two carloads mixed oats.
etc
"a very bright young operator employed
on press wire in this city, some time ago,
while receiving an item describing
some ceremony in connection with
the recent jubilee in Rome,
made an amusing error. As received
by him the dispatch stated that Cardinal
So-and-So turned toward the congregation,
extended his hand, aud said: oh, rats,
father The editor fell off his chair when
his eyes fell on the paragraph. A correc-
ton was not necessary, however, as he IN
derstood the sentence was intended for the
Latin phrase 'Orate Fratres,' or in English,
Pray, brethren
Operators on press circuit are some
methods to avoid interrupting the sending
office, which religiously keeps account of
every break and upon this often depends
the receiving operators reputation as re-
CARDS his ability.
Some years ago, during the existence of
the National Press Association, a bitter ri
valry sprang up between two operators as
to which should go the greater length of
time without breaking One was stationed
at Kansas City, which was the terminus of
the circuit, the other at ST. Louis. Both
men were determined, and every effort was
put forth To avoid opening the key. One
night very important piece of news was
started over the circuit, and as the weather
was very stormy the Kansas City operator
was experiencing great difficulty in picking
out the characters. The Item told the story
OF large passenger steamer which had
gone ashore during terrible storm, and a
panic ensuing about fifty passengers we e
either lost overheard or cru shed to death.
The Kansas City man, by hard guessing,
succeeded in reading every word until the
list of fatalities was reached. Here came a
CONFORMATION of German, Swedish, Rus
sian, and Irish names all junbled up to.
gether, AID although his imagination was q
la Rider Haggard, he could make nothing
out Oh them, and, being too hlgh-spirlted to
open his key, he was obliged to omit the en-
tire list from his report intending by some
means 10 secure them later. 1t grew late,
however, and he was unable to devils, any
scheu.e for securing the list, and finally, as
last resort, he selected the names of fifty
operators who we're employed by the differ
ent comp lnies in the city, and making a
list of them sent them to the editor
Quite sensation was created in tele-
graph circles the following morning when,
upon glancing at the newspaper, ca h oper-
ator found him or herself lost overheard in
the Atlantic ocean.
"No complaint was made, however, and
the reading public was never aware Of the
deception

RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

Daily trains will be resumed on the Tybee
railroad on and after next Sunday, but the
schedule has not yet been announced.
Robert Garrett. ex-president of the Bal
timore aud Ohio railroad, is in Townsville
spending some time. He is accompanied
by large party of friends.
The National Association of General Pas
senger and Ticket Agents of the United
States and Canadas, at their late meeting
held at New York, changed the name to the
American Association.
The tide of northern tourist travel home
ward bound has set in, and the Savannah
hotels are crowded. Mr. c. B. Townsend
of Thomasville, who is in the city. said last
night that the hotels there are crowded to
OVERLOOKING and that tho daily receipts of
the livery men foot up 81, 600.
President r. D. Blackstone Of the Chicago
and Alton railroad, who accompanied the
Plant party over its system In South
Georgia and Florida, was in the city yester-
day. Vice President Chisholm Of the Plant
system, who is also director in the Termi-
nal system, accompanied Mr.. Blackstone in
an extended drive to the wharveS and rail
road properties.
The terminal facilities of the Savannah.
Florida and Western railway and the Cen
trail railroad were inspected. Savanaah's
commercial advantages, her quick transit
to the west, and her superior ocean steam
ship fleet, has certainly impressed outsiders
with Ter future. Presi ieat Blackstone left
on the noon train for New York There is
considerable speculation as TO the meaning
of his visit here Just at this time. Whether
it had any import further than the pleasure
of seeing Savannah, cannot be said.
