THEY ALL LIKE SAVANNAH.
What Party OF Northern Visitors Has
TO say About u.

" gay <DO0L IL
Quite a distinguished group Of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey politicians buried
politics for the nonce over an oyster supper
at Thunderbolt an afternoon or two ago.
They were TIE guests of Herman Winter.
and Hon. William Clifton chaperoned the
party.
The visitors were escorted about the city,
then to Bonaventure, which they admired
and one OF the party, who is a Jealous ere
mationist said he would willingly abandon
his desire to be crematsd if he could be as
sured Of sepulture in the beautiful cemetery.
From Bonaventure the party went to Thun-
derbolt where an oyster supper was served,
and eloquent speeches followed.
The party was composed of Judge 8. NJ
Brown Of Philadelphia, Judge War
rem OF the common pleas bench
Of Jersey City, James Nugeut, a
prominent contractor of Jersey City,
Hon. Geo. Handy Smith. state senstor for
the last twenty years, from Philadelphia,
and second best to Mat Quay as a republi-
can leader; w. F. Anthony Of Rochester.
N. Y; L. P. Grosholz, Philadelphia, aid
Messrs. Clifton and Winter. the visitors
were equally divided politically, Judge
Warren. Mr.. Nugent, and Mr.. Anthony
being democrats, and Judge Brown, Sen
ator Smith, and Mr.. GroshoIz being repub-
hcans.
Senator Smith was the Chauncey Depew
of the party and made non-partisan speech
in which he extolled Savannah and its
envlrons as charming places, aud southern
hospitality as broad as the section is Deauti-
ful. Judge Warren was equally as felicitouS
in expressing his surprise and qualification
to find Savannah such an important COM
mercial seaport and attractive city. All the
speeches we're in accord on these subjects,
and each of the speakers took occasion to
say that he proposes in the future to see
more of Savannah.
Mr.. Clifton responded in a reciprocal way
to the pleasant sentiments expressed by the
visitors, and gave them to understand that
whether they came by land or sea- they are
within less than two days travel from Sa-
vannah.
The Philadelphians left by Yesterdays
steamer for home, and regretfully but they
said that their municipal elections will come
off next Tuesday, and as they are among
the powers behind the throne in republican
politics, they had to hurry home to get the
boys in line to prevent the naughty demo-
Gratis from stealing march on them in the
election of magistrates.
Some one asked a Philadelphian at the
DE Soto, who Is your man SmithW The
gentleman looked pityingly at his interrog-
ator, as II his Ignorance were inexcusa ole,
and remarked, You don't mean to tell me
you have never heard of George Handy
Smith, Well, he has been state senator
for twenty years, and can be for life if ne
wants to be. He is the best politician in
Philadelphia, and he has the Pennsylvania
railroad at his back He don't get away
from home much, but it isn't because it
would cost him much to travel. Why, he
can get a pass to Jerusalem and back if he
wants it.n

THE PLACE FOR STOVES.

Lowell 81 Lattimore's Hardware and
Stove House Exhibits Some Perfect
Beauties.
The whole city and country south is filed
with the reatest lot of cheap and trashy
Sc, IS and SO stoves with outfits that it is
a relief to put ones eyes on something that
is really good and worth having. One of
these first quality stoves referred to is the
Capitol Acorn Range, in every respect,
scarcely to be improved upon. Every one
of this make is unsurpassed. Lowell g. Lat
timore have sold the Acorn Range with
great success to every purchaser because he
gets what he desires, and in this way
escapes the catchy stuff now SO numerous.

PROUD OF THE KANSAS CITY.

The o. 8. Co. Congratulated Upon
the New Ships Record.
The remarkable trip of the now ocean
steamship, the Kansas City-from New
York to Savannah in AZ hours-is bring
ing in congratulations from all over the
country. The record of the voyage was
telegraphed the Associated Press night be
fore last, and yesterday General Manager
Sorrel received numbers Of congratulatory
kilograms upon the vessels performance.
Among them was one from Mayor Daven-
port of Kansas City, for uerlY of Savannah:

have heard with pride and pleasure that the
steamship Kansas City" in her recent run
from New York TO Savannah in forty-four hours
beat a other records, and the Commercial Club
OF Kansas City begs to offer its sincere congrat-
ulationS. F. A. FAxToN President
There is big difference between the
Kansas City's time aud that male a few
years ago, before the Ocean Steamship
Company'S fast vessels were put in service
Then it took from 90 to 80 hours to
make the trip, and 60 hours was considered
remarkable voyage. The Kansas City
has reduced that time nearly 10 hours, aud
when her machinery gets more wear she is
expected to lower even that record. The
Kansas City is already the pride of the
fleet, aud has taken her place as the grey
hound of the coast.

TIE NEW AERIAL TRUCK
The Public Exhibition shows of Its
Workings AdvantageOusiy.

Workings Advantageousiy.
Two or three hundred people braved the
rain yesterday morning TO witness the pub
/ lie exhibition OF the aerial ladder truck on
/ Congress street in front of the Screven
house, and it was a most successful test, the
fremen playing four streams of water,
| from as many sections Of hose, on the
/ ladder.
The extension ladder was raised TO hight
of forty feet, one fireman being assigned to
the top of the ladder. where for nearly an
hour he managed the hose unaided, aad the
other three streams were played from
different points below by as many firemen.
After the water was turned of, an ex-
hibition of the ife-saviug features Of the
ladder was given. By a quick manipula-
ton of the turn-tabie the ladder was
planted in one Of the windows in the fourth
story of the hotel, and Fireman J. J. Con-
molly, foreman at headquarters, ran rapidly
up the ladder and entered the
house, and hurrying to another
window, two rooms distant, found
the ladder had been shifted to it, and when
he got out on the ladder it was wheeled
around in few seconds fully twenty feet
away from the building, showing that per-
sous may be takeR from the highest build
ings in the city and rapidly removed from
proximity to walls.
The playing of four streams Of water
from the ladder also shows that the fire.
men, with the new equipment, will have
an advantage not heretofore possessed in
combating fires which are burning in sew
eral floors at the sans time.
The fire committee of council, who wit
messed the exhibition and test Of the new
truck, was well pleased with it, and at 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon held meeting
and officially accepted it. Mr.. ?. P Crol-
ley, agent of the LaFrance Fire E CINE
Company, who superintended the exhibit
ton, left for Macon last night, where he is
negotiating for the sale of another new
fire engine to the fire department of that
city.
During the exhibition, the comments were
most favorable and nearly every one had
something 10 say about it. Several said
that if the city had been provided with the
ladder during the big fire last April, Han
ley's building, the Guards armory and the
Independent Presbyterian church would
have been saved. Others said that no lives
would have been lost at the Miller fire by
falling walls if the firemen had been pro.
vided with such an equipment to fight the
fire at a safe distance.
